[4:32]
yeah
[4:33]
they're just showing them what they
[4:34]
expect uh to go over
[4:37]
them
[4:39]
only the full amount that we've received
[4:41]
four thousand four hundred ninety
[4:44]
miss patrick i think that we actually
[4:46]
read personally yeah
[4:48]
none of us we only reimburse them with
[4:50]
the revenues that we receive we should
[4:52]
not reimburse them for more
[4:54]
why would why
[5:09]
all the past years it's only the
[5:10]
revenues that uh that we've received oh
[5:13]
they were not no not in the red yeah
[5:17]
but they're not there now either
[5:20]
they have yeah
[5:29]
if
[5:30]
the council was so inclined to review
[5:33]
that policy
[5:35]
i would suggest you do it during the
[5:37]
budget process and not deviate from the
[5:43]
agreement with the rose garden committee
[5:45]
to
[5:45]
reimburse from what we've taken in
[5:50]
yes
[6:07]
their permits and
[6:08]
the new thing in 2021 was the cameras
[6:12]
yeah matt
[6:14]
i'm just wondering if you did know i was
[6:16]
kind of curious
[6:17]
to what extent that photography did it
[6:20]
bring in any money yes it did it brought
[6:21]
in about fifteen hundred dollars and
[6:23]
what we're going to do next year we're
[6:25]
actually going to put a separate line
[6:26]
for it uh this year we you know we we we
[6:29]
weren't expecting to go too much
[6:31]
but you know we did better than we had
[6:32]
uh expected
[6:34]
and if if you look at uh in 2020 uh
[6:38]
we only uh they only made uh 2 600 so
[6:42]
this is almost a double event you know
[6:59]
oh
[7:03]
[Music]
[7:05]
um there's an agreement between the city
[7:07]
of schenectady and csea
[7:10]
the contract mr ferrara
[7:23]
[Music]
[7:26]

october 25th
[7:37]
um number two the award-winning contract
[7:40]
for construction maintenance building at
[7:42]
the municipal golf course
[7:56]
i don't think there was even backup
[7:57]
material for it
[7:58]
without backup
[8:00]
um what we want to do is going for what
[8:02]
we're trying to do is have all our
[8:03]
paperwork in order before bringing so we
[8:06]
want to make sure that they're aware of
[8:07]
some of our requirements because we
[8:08]
haven't worked with the contractor in
[8:10]
quite a while
[8:11]
but right now everything's trending
[8:13]
we've called for references and they
[8:15]
have done work for the city in the past
[8:17]
but we have a meeting with aaron and ron
[8:19]
set up for tomorrow to kind of make sure
[8:21]
that they're aware of the paperwork
[8:23]
requirements and some other things
[8:24]
before we come here officially all right
[8:26]
so we'll see in two weeks yes okay thank
[8:28]
you so uh number three the board meeting
[8:31]
contract for the bail tree card street
[8:33]
removal yep so that one
[8:35]
like i told you at the last meeting
[8:38]
i would reach out to some firms and i
[8:40]
did reach out to some firms and i have
[8:42]
uh two additional firms that i am going
[8:44]
to be doing that would be interested in
[8:46]
bidding
[8:47]
so i would like to put that back out so
[8:49]
that we could try to get at least one of
[8:51]
them to bid so we can have multiple
[8:53]
prices uh for next time i think that
[8:55]
would be the best interest of the city
[8:56]
so that one will hold permanently i just
[8:59]
wanted to make you aware of that since i
[9:01]
brought it up last time so that is going
[9:03]
to be a reboot to try to get a little
[9:06]
bit more competition okay
[9:08]
all right uh number four award-winning
[9:10]
contract for the cycle and the placement
[9:12]
on street in windsor terrace yep this
[9:14]
one we're actually gonna afford right
[9:15]

[9:19]

[9:21]
you wanted to make sure
[9:23]
um
[9:25]

[9:27]
little cut off to see the numbers but we
[9:30]

newcastle was a contractor that had just

[10:00]
will complete the work they have a crew
[10:03]
