23
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:35,759

00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,199
december 19 of 2021 um to accommodate

28
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,599
the delays resulting from proven 19 and

29
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:49,759
the associated impacts um we're

30
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:51,360
requesting an extension of the use

31
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,879
agreement

32
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:54,800

30th 2022

34
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,360
so we're looking for approval from the

35
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,599
city council to amend this use agreement

36
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:03,280
and i know we have representation from

37
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,240
maryland creek street who can um i don't

38
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,400
know ray if you just want to come up and

39
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,080
speak a little bit about you know the

40
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,319
progress and where the project is

41
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:15,110
absolutely

42
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,550
from blue light development

43
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,160
it's like a little bit of weird energy

44
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,520
like we haven't seen each other in

45
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,680
person for a

46
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,599
see everyone uh

47
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:29,280
trayvon's stuck in traffic uh he's

48
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,759
supposed to speak to the capital project

49
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:34,240
but um we've been experiencing some uh

50
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,839
extreme delays

51
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:39,360
with uh hvac and funding doing hogan 19

52
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,240
and bidding but aside from that we've

53
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,720
been hosting the school of

54
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,399
community cleanups

55
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,800
in preparation for the renovations of

56
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,240
the center

57
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,880
which we have uh board members coming

58
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
with the individuals as well

59
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,440
but we've uh gutted the interior we've

60
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,839
got rid of both gym floors we've started

61
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,680
paint scraping

62
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,839
we've put a mural on the north side of

63
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:05,120
the building

64
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120
we've done a school of landscaping

65
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,920
reclaimed our playground space

66
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,760
we also have

67
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,600
electricity on the panels are finally

68
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,160
not on that's about nine months

69
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,760
but we do have electricity on the

70
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,160
building and we're just waiting for

71
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,279
hvac ready and the plumbing

72
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:24,000
so

73
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,519
we are moving and making extended

74
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,360
product

75
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,760
let's look for the business so

76
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,760
i know there's been a delay with the

77
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560
pandemic and supply chain issues do you

78
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:36,880
have any idea what that's going to cost

79
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,399
you i mean as far as additional

80
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:40,160
fundraising and whatnot

81
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,839
people out there know that you can still

82
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:44,720
use money absolutely yeah

83
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,519
um again trademark is his you know

84
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:48,720
speciality

85
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,279
it's not okay it's fine um

86
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,680
the the bidding numbers uh are all

87
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:57,040
different but it's anywhere from 50 to

88
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,640
100k

89
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,080
and that's a rough estimate this

90
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,600
nothing's concrete that's a rough

91
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,200
estimate

92
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,040
and part of the obstacles that we face

93
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,000
are

94
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,079
we do have funds but we can't use the

95
00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:10,959
funds because we have to use other funds

96
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:12,160
which is something that has been

97
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,000
incredibly um

98
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,839
confusing right because i know we have

99
00:10:16,839 --> 00:10:20,079
um you know ties with metroplex but then

100
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:21,040
there was

101
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,360
cdt grant that we were supposed to have

102
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,680
funds for and use those but when we

103
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,279
applied for another brand we got turned

104
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:28,640
down because they said we have to use

105
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,040
the 150k from the

106
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,519
uh previous grant that we

107
00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:36,720
can't use so there's been additional

108
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,320
obstacles with that

109
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,640
um and it's not like we've been sitting

110
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,320
and not doing anything you know we've

111
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,000
been reaching out and we're supposed to

112
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,440
get support from todisco and sinabria

113
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,160
and once said that if the other two

114
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,399
uh you know matched us then they'll

115
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:53,920
match and then the other two didn't

116
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800
agree so it's been a whirlwind bright

117
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,399
family foundation we had several

118
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:00,399
meetings with them to get support and

119
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:02,240
they turned us down it's like

120
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,920
someone's only waiting for someone else

121
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,760
to support us in order to support us you

122
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,120
know so

123
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,760
and if i'm being transparent the most

124
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,320
support that we have has been from

125
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,360
uh

126
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,760
people who have

127
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,600
are like the most like

128
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,360
unresourceful or

129
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,040
have lack of resources which is

130
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,360
faith-based community and hamilton hill

131
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,279
community so

132
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:26,800
the beautiful thing about our cleanups

133
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,440
is different people always show up and

134
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,480
those are the people who have been

135
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,760
consistent

136
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,640
um

137
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,640
so yeah it's been it's been tough

138
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,920
and i think it's important for us to

139
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,959
have the

140
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:38,399
conversation about

141
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:39,200
how

142
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,630
we can get more resources

143
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,079
so let me just

144
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:48,160
sorry i was just going to say also um

145
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,760
just because you know working on this

146
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,399
product for a bit now

147
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,839
so the cbg funding is 150 000 it is

148
00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:58,320
reimbursement basis so

149
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,279
the 300 000 total was the number to

150
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,760
really do the hvac plumbing and

151
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,839
electrical work the electrical work has

152
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:08,240
been completed but it is they can't

153
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,079
really do everything at once because

154
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:12,000
again it's reimbursement basis so they

155
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,320
really just do one piece at a time

156
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,959
um so you know like ray mentioned they

157
00:12:16,959 --> 00:12:18,800
finished the electrical portion of that

158
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,800
and now they're moving to try to get you

159
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,279
know hvac contractors in to just you

160
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:25,440
know to give a price um but that's been

161
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920
really difficult in the current context

162
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,639
um so i think that's that's one cases of

163
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,800
the project right kristen just to be

164
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,560
clear haven't you spent any of the 150

165
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,800
from the cdbg at all not not have yet to

166
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,790
do

167
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,079
that was the first step because they

168
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:46,399
needed power to be able to then you know

169
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:47,839
do the rest of the stuff so the

170
00:12:47,839 --> 00:12:49,120
challenging part is really having the

171
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,480
money to do is because it's reimbursed buffalo brand

172
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,680
right right okay yeah so all right

173
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,399
so you're asking for this extension and

174
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:02,079
as was asked so

175
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:03,920
i know we're waiting for um trayvon i'm

176
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,350
not sure

177
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:11,910
[Music]

178
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,120
in order to

179
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120
move forward but not money that's tied

180
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,240
up in any way you need to feel

181
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,360
straightforward have that money is that

182
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,360
what you're testing yeah absolutely

183
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,800
that's been one of our biggest hurdles

184
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,800
is if we have money that's sitting but

185
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,959
we can't use it how can we move forward

186
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:27,360
with anything you know and you know if

187
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,200
we i know it's been a long time but our

188
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,000
feasibility study uh it's 1.5 million

189
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,959
dollars and that's what bells and

190
00:13:32,959 --> 00:13:36,399
whistles have the doors open um and

191
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:39,440
the 150k and 350k it's like a raindrop

192
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,120
in a bucket you know i don't need to be

193
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,519
frank but i do need to be frank but it's

194
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,000
just you know just it's been like a slew

195
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,240
of astounding disparities on our part

196
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,920
you know i know you've been through

197
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,839
hurdle after girl after hurdle you know

198
00:13:51,839 --> 00:13:56,389
we continue to show up and we continue

199
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:58,240
um

200
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,680
we've continued to show up you know we

201
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,000
continue to do what's being asked of us

202
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,839
and you know we're just looking for more

203
00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:06,240
support and more support that makes

204
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,240
sense you know what i mean and this is

205
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,920
not to pull anybody or anything like

206
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,760
that i just you know i think it's

207
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,920
important to have honest conversations

208
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,720
and

209
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,720
one of the barriers you're feeling like

210
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,480
this is really important

211
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,839
absolutely 100 100 it's

212
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:23,360
and i don't know there's got to be ways

213
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,519
around where we can have these funds

214
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:27,120
where they're not tied up so that we can

215
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,440
use them or there's not rules against

216
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,079
the funds where we have to spend some to

217
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:35,199
get some especially since we're so early

218
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:36,880
on in the states that they're prepping

219
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,320
for renovations

220
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,440
um

221
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,639
you know we don't want to spend all of

222
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:41,839
our money then we still have to get the

223
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:44,399
hvac and plumbing that the bidding and

224
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:45,600
you know we don't have any money for

225
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,360
that stuff um

226
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360
so it's just it's just tough it's tough

227
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,360
when the the funds are tied up

228
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,519
so it's not possible that's what's like

229
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:56,480
some sold questions did you say that yep

230
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,079
and is it the same kind of thing but

231
00:14:58,079 --> 00:15:01,600
reversal yes um yeah i believe so but i

232
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,600
know there was a tension of we had to

233
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,079
spend the money that we do have in order

234
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:07,839
to get more first one

235
00:15:07,839 --> 00:15:10,959
the first 150 yes exactly right

236
00:15:10,959 --> 00:15:13,279
which i i still don't you know

237
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,120
before i speak for my board and the

238
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,040
board members you know and if you can

239
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,040
chime in when you want to um but

240
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,519
with a project of this magnitude we all

241
00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:24,959
know it's going to cost quite a bit of

242
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:28,240
money so i just again i don't understand

243
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,120
um

244
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,120
you know why we have to have to be tied

245
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,320
down to

246
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,440
uh funds when when we need all we need

247
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
as many funds we can get you know so

248
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,480
it's just it's been tough it's been

249
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880
tough and i know that

250
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,560
when the obstacles are alleviated we

251
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,600
move

252
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,440
you know um

253
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,199
granted coleman has slowed us down but

254
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:50,399
like i said i think it's really

255
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:53,279
important to note that um as a community

256
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:55,519
we continue to show up and we continue

257
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:58,079
to uh continue to go um george would you

258
00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:00,000
want to pass individuals around i think

259
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,959
that visuals are super important just to

260
00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:05,120
see the progress that we've done

261
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,160
um

262
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,389
even though we've had obstacles

263
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,000
we can talk about all the time without

264
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,440
seeing it it doesn't it doesn't make it

265
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,800
real to me

266
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,399
um just to see the inside of the

267
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:17,920
building and see all the work that's

268
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,600
being done

269
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,199
to prep for renovation that's one less

270
00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:22,959
thing that we'll have to worry about but

271
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:26,959
the funds we need those you know money is

272
00:16:26,959 --> 00:16:28,399
what we need

273
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:31,759
absolutely so i i recommend that we

274
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:44,870
accept the extension at this time and um

275
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,240
you know sometimes they'll be able to

276
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,480
help out it's kind of tough for the city

277
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:55,110
at this point

278
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,079
is the challenge itself for sure for

279
00:16:58,079 --> 00:16:59,440
sure

280
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,680
that would be my recommendation yeah and

281
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,199
we have and i appreciate that

282
00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:05,039
recommendation so much we've reached out

283
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:06,000
to

284
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,679
like i said uh

285
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:10,319
foundation um they turned this down if

286
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:11,679
you ask me i think that that was a

287
00:17:11,679 --> 00:17:13,839
personal thing because you know rosa was

288
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,000
working there and then uh she decided to

289
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,319
take my marathon proxy full time it's

290
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:20,640
like i said from being quite frank i

291
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,839
think it's important for us to have

292
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,160
these transparent conversations if we

293
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,439
um

294
00:17:25,439 --> 00:17:27,039
didn't want to get ahead you know we

295
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:29,679
want to see progress with this

296
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:31,360
you know we met with the county

297
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,799
uh and

298
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:35,600
we've i can send you a list of email

299
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,760
chains and just nothing you know what i

300
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,640
mean and we thought that

301
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,240
attaining ownership of the building

302
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,200
would give us a leg up and

303
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,160
um i don't know if for some reason uh

304
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,840
we're still not being believed in even

305
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,840
though we continue to show up we

306
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
continue to do with being asked of us

307
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,600
but we're just not getting the support

308
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,559
that we

309
00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:58,799
anticipated like i said the most support

310
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:01,039
we've gotten was is from the community

311
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:04,559
and from big big communities and um

312
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:06,320
yeah we're looking for more for more

313
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,760
resources more for more help you know

314
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,080
not not a handout but a hand up

315
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:12,960
um

316
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,760
you know we we it and the crazy thing is

317
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,760
we're running programming we just don't

318
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,360
have a house for it you know the

319
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:20,880
community center we've got our google

320
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,240
programming going we still have the

321
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,400
community police basketball league going

322
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,360
um

323
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:26,720
just to give you a couple names of

324
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,039
partners that have come out to help us

325
00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,600
ask an fbc school district multiple

326
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,600
principals have come out and supported

327
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,240
us

328
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,000
the c center has been incredible with

329
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
support um

330
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,520
dsa acronym dsa has been incredible with

331
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,270
coming out and supporting us

332
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,120
has been incredible so

333
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,320
i don't want you guys to think that we

334
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,000
haven't been reaching out and

335
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,039
uh

336
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:55,360
searching for partners in collaboration

337
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,760
but we've been doing nothing but that um

338
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,960
like i said especially through the

339
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,799
pandemic even with all the obstacles

340
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:02,640
with the stopping of the attacking thing

341
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,240
we still have been moving you know doing

342
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,440
what we can

343
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,080
just to show uh proof that we're going

344
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,600
to continue to move until the doors are

345
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,120
open

346
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:14,000
because the community needs it

347
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
i was just going to say that i know that

348
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,320
um the loan fund is a potential partner

349
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,679
in this and they

350
00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:22,039
had committed to a bridge loan tax

351
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:24,720
testimony but i think that they're

352
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,600
waiting to see the full kind of

353
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,280
scope of work which is difficult to get

354
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,720
pricing right now for certain things

355
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,960
that are so far in the future is what's

356
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,360
you know been communicated to us so

357
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,360
i think at this at this time they're

358
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:38,960
asking for the extension

359
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520
to just you know continue to to move

360
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,520
forward and

361
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,000
you know get more support so do you have

362
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,200
any um

363
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,480
i don't know about the board members

364
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,320
here so do you like before we move

365
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,440
forward to

366
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,799
or any other council members questions

367
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:56,480
you know we would actually

368
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,919
tonight we would act on you know the

369
00:19:57,919 --> 00:19:59,440
extension and then we'd probably have

370
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,760
larger conversations about the funding

371
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,840
so yeah sorry i didn't mean to get in

372
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,070
the weeds

373
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,919
right about what's actually going to get

374
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:11,600
all the project done and the resources

375
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,440
that are going to be needed right

376
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,960
i think it's important that we know yes

377
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,030
for sure that makes sense

378
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:25,990
[Music]

379
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,470
thank you

380
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,960
[Music]

381
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,640
all right the next item on the agenda is

382
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:45,310
the transfer of city on

383
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,230
properties to the legacy

384
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,200
okay so um the city and the land bank

385
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,440
are partners on a lot of things mostly

386
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,679
to return vacant and abandoned

387
00:20:57,679 --> 00:20:59,600
under utilized property to productive

388
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,640
use so the legacy city access program is

389
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,400
funded by the new york state budget

390
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,760
through hcr

391
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320
to provide land banks with

392
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120
renovation uh funding for distressed one

393
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,280
to three unit properties and this is to

394
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,919
create home home ownership opportunities

395
00:21:15,919 --> 00:21:18,960
by partnering with local mwbe certified

396
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,840
and or minority-owned developers so we

397
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,679
have been working with the land bank to

398
00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:26,640
identify properties um you know given

399
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,520
the the recent redevelopment in mount

400
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,760
pleasant over 40 demolitions the orchard

401
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,000
park expansion the wallingford park

402
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,080
splash pad the new boys and girls club

403
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,120
the libraries um the main street facade

404
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:40,159
program there's been a lot of

405
00:21:40,159 --> 00:21:41,840
reinvestment in mount pleasant and we

406
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,400
think that one of the that's one of the

407
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,640
areas where this opportunity for

408
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,039
homeownership can really help out in

409
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:50,720
terms of just creating that

410
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,240
stabilization in the neighborhood and

411
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,919
dealing with some of the most difficult

412
00:21:53,919 --> 00:21:56,000
properties that are there um to really

413
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,720
just try it and sort of infill and rehab

414
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,440
um

415
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,280
you know properties in that area so

416
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,120
david holding campus here if you're in

417
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:04,240
the land bank i don't know if you want

418
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,080
to add yeah if you have any questions

419
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,159
about about the program the

420
00:22:08,159 --> 00:22:10,159
landing funding that we have in past has

421
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:11,919
been pretty discretionary we did a lot

422
00:22:11,919 --> 00:22:14,400
of uh glide home removals in partnership

423
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,039
with uh kristin the team here

424
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:18,400
this is a

425
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,720
prescriptive program to uh try to create

426
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,720
homeownership out of uh some of the

427
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,320
player homes the land needs to have

428
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,960
control of those properties so we uh

429
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,720
appreciate your support uh we'll uh

430
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,400
the program is set up so you can have

431
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,080
three different uh

432
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,159
legacy cities projects going in time

433
00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:38,960
which is five to ten uh properties so

434
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,720
we'll look for a development team that

435
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,400
needs the criteria they're looking for

436
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,840
over in mount pleasant right here where

437
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,200
we're proposing uh all the uh changes uh

438
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,720
for the positive on chrome street and

439
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,360
then uh hopefully uh we'll continue to

440
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,810
find more opportunities for

441
00:22:52,810 --> 00:22:55,280
[Music]

442
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,440

oregon contract for the construction of

478
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,120
the maintenance storage at the mini dell

479
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,720
course

480
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,549
mr wall

481
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:54,400
so first item

482
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,080
as it says in the backup materials we

483
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,120
had

484
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,880
three buildings two were original the

485
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,480
gulf court construction one i believe

486
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,960
was constructed in the 70s one of the

487
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,559
original buildings

488
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:06,400
we were forced to take down six years

489
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880
ago with our larger storage building we

490
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,440
were hoping to uh close this drought and

491
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,960
build a new building however we had to

492
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,279
find a way that was within budget we

493
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,679
started with a typical building and we

494
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:20,480
moved uh terribly to one of the prefab

495
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,840
building

496
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,679
so we put out the bid for a pre-fat

497
00:26:23,679 --> 00:26:26,080
building it's uh basically this is going

498
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,520
to be a factory slab with a metal bar

499
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,120
night building that you see kind of out

500
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,039
in the in the suburbs and we're going to

501
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:35,520
be doing a lot of work in house once the

502
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,200
shell is built so we're

503
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,880
doing electrical in-house bringing it on

504
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,240
our plumber's going to help out and then

505
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,960
we're going to build within the shell so

506
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,799
it'll take a little while but in the

507
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:48,000
meantime it'll give us a large clean

508
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
open area that's outside of the weather

509
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,520
to keep our equipment in a lot of our

510
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,120
equipment is being stored currently too

511
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:55,360
at the oregon ave parks garage the old

512
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,360
garage so this will also help keep all

513
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,000
the equipment in one area on the golf

514
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,919
course not across from it which is good

515
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:04,400
so we've been trying to do this for

516
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,240
what nine years i think before i got

517
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:06,960
here

518
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,720
this was a project so

519
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,000
we're hoping to move forward this

520
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,120
company's worked with the city in the

521
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:12,400
past they've worked with the state and

522
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,559
did our due diligence uh we've already

523
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:16,240
had some meetings before i came to you

524
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,159
with ron and aaron and we're comfortable

525
00:27:18,159 --> 00:27:28,450
bringing it forward

526
00:27:28,460 --> 00:27:33,430
[Music]

527
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,080
uh award come into contract for removal

528
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,919
uh

529
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:42,720
for a cdbg uh aiming presentation

530
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,080
so this is a second payment program

531
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,320
what we did is due to the requirements with all the different

532
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,559
monies that we have now tdd in section

533
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:55,520
three um we had quite a bit of money

534
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,120
left over for coving because we didn't

535
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:59,279
do a payment program

536
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:00,880
so we decided to put out an independent

537
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,320
navy program just focused on

538
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,240
the

539
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,520
football area which is handling the

540
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,679
middle in this case um kind of around

541
00:28:09,679 --> 00:28:10,799
frank street where we're going to be

542
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:12,000
doing our work

543
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,320
it's a cdbg only contract so that we can

544
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,000
focus on all the requirements on one

545
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,880
contract we had a lot of bids that do

546
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,279
five bids below

547
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:22,880
newcastle who we've worked with in the

548
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,520
past on berkshire park we've had a

549
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,120
discussion with them ron's discussed

550
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:28,720
with them already you know the

551
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,240
requirements that i need we're going to

552
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,279
use the off season so to speak to you

553
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:37,110
motion

554
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:38,080
second

555
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,510
what was in favor

556
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:49,110
okay and then on the uh

557
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,120
so the amphitheater also known as music

558
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,320
has

559
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,880
a series of optical partitions that are

560
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,159
doors that

561
00:28:56,159 --> 00:28:58,399
go like this and they rotate

562
00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:00,640
um and they're used for a full sound and

563
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,600
access the stage the doors uh before we

564
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:04,880
put the security fixing up we're

565
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,840
vandalized they also have seals that are

566
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,399
broken so animals birds and squirrels

567
00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:11,440
that they've seen going in and out of

568
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,520
music maybe making it a hard place to

569
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,960
clean so

570
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,279
we put out a bit uh and that huffport

571
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:20,480
was really the only supplier such a door

572
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,399
the same people that supply

573
00:29:22,399 --> 00:29:23,760
high school gymnasiums those

574
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,559
opportunities just much smaller

575
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:28,640
so we're looking to get the doors

576
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,720
ordered and then once again installing

577
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
in time for music pavements uh next

578
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,600
season so we're gonna get that facility

579
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,880
you know back up it looks great though

580
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,080
the facilities

581
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:48,950
[Music]

00:29:48,960 --> 00:30:06,070

585
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,440
all right the next item is refunding of

586
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,760
the 2014 volunteers mr ferrari

587
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,120
mr president

588
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,159
council

589
00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:20,080
uh one of the things that we do at the

590
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,559
finance department is review constantly

591
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:25,679
uh opportunities that help the city to

592
00:30:25,679 --> 00:30:28,240
save money especially uh

593
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,760
what we're talking about is a

594
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,360
opportunity to renew and refund our 2014

595
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,000
bonds of 28 nine or twenty million or

596
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,520
fourteen thousand

597
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,840
now uh we're looking at this opportunity

598
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,360
with the rates uh

599
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,440
and we with uh roosevelt lacrosse and

600
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,279
our physical advisors that we have an

601
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:48,320
opportunity to save approximately uh

602
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,919
four million four point three million

603
00:30:49,919 --> 00:30:51,760
dollars over the next 16 years the

604
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,520
average of of over 255 000 a year

605
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,840
and uh if you looked at the uh when i

606
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,799
had centuries look at angel one of

607
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:03,279
the refunding highlights you would see

608
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:05,039
what the total would be

609
00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,919
what we're asking of this is uh

610
00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:10,880
as you saw in my memos we're asking

611
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,640
for an ordinance to be a little bit

612
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,279
higher just in case the fluctuation

613
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:17,120
of the market but we're pretty much set

614
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,880
on that uh 4.3 million that's the best case

615
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,559
scenario our worst case scenario we're

616
00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:24,880
thinking of 3.7 million dollar savings

617
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,679
which

618
00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:28,000
is still a savings through the savings

619
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,399
so we're jumping on this opportunity and

620
00:31:30,399 --> 00:31:32,960
i brought it in a rush only because

621
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,399
it's just like it's the perfect time

622
00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:38,960
any questions

623
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,919
all right

624
00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:40,960
okay

625
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,480
thank you

626
00:31:42,480 --> 00:32:03,909
around

627
00:32:03,919 --> 00:32:11,990
um

628
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,600
they

629
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,039
wrote a letter to us saying that there

630
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:16,000
was some

631
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,559
further information needed

632
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:21,840
that we need to pass this resolution

633
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,039
including

634
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:25,360
the last four of the council members

635
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,360

update on record activities and results

638
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,200

639
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,039
of the social lines things only the last

640
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:39,039

641
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:41,200
how to have that information i mean how

642
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,039

that i will need to post

645
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,799

647
00:32:52,799 --> 00:33:04,630

00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:21,039
we actually only had one speaker and

655
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:22,559
then someone that spoke about it later

656
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,720
that was in favor of it so

657
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,279
are there any uh questions here

658
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:33,750
all right

659
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,230
all those in favor

660
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,440
okay um discussion osn broadcast city

661
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,840
council committee meetings mr solomon if

662
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,720
um

663
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,919
almost weekly i'm sure some of you also

664
00:33:47,919 --> 00:33:49,919
get the same complaints

665
00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:52,559
about the broadcast of the

666
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:54,720
committee and council meetings people

667
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,799
either can't hear him the video is not

668
00:33:56,799 --> 00:33:57,679
running

669
00:33:57,679 --> 00:34:01,029
there's some sort of issue

670
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:02,799
we gotta figure this out we either

671
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:06,159
record it and play it so it works or do

672
00:34:06,159 --> 00:34:08,960
it live and make sure it works

673
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,040
so

674
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,720
i would like us to

675
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:15,359
see about getting information

676
00:34:15,359 --> 00:34:17,440
from osm on

677
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,480
how to fix this problem what it it costs

678
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,399
what options we would have for the

679
00:34:22,399 --> 00:34:23,599
broadcast

680
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:25,359
i think that might fall into your

681
00:34:25,359 --> 00:34:27,119
purview mr colvin

682
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:28,879
and uh

683
00:34:28,879 --> 00:34:30,800
just as a discussion tonight bringing it

684
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,760
forward

685
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,679
uh in the next weeks because it

686
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:35,679
continues to be a problem

687
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,639
all the time and uh quite frankly and

688
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,960
tired of hearing the complaints

689
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,560
then people are like why can't we get

690
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,679
this right

691
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,919
and if we can't get it right then we

692
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:50,230
need to look for a different vendor so

693
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:53,119
i just putting it out there i'll follow

694
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:55,200
up with the mayor in

695
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,920
osm to see what the issues are

696
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,280
as well as mr coleman to see what

697
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,800
options we have as far as the

698
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,200
broadcasting but i'm sure all of you

699
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,359
have gotten similar complaints

700
00:35:07,359 --> 00:35:09,359
and

701
00:35:09,359 --> 00:35:12,880
thought we should take it up

702
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:23,349
so um

703
00:35:23,359 --> 00:35:25,839
maybe we need to set aside some funding

704
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:27,359
to accommodate them so this doesn't

705
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:34,470
continue to happen

706
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,640
uh get it out there see what everybody

707
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,200
else's feelings are assumed

708
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,880
likewise yeah every week

709
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:50,870
absolutely

710
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,359
because over time people are complaining

711
00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:55,280
they're having difficulty

712
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,800
so you'll be moving forward by having

713
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,630
obsessions

714
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,800
to your point i mean it was just a few

715
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,079
years ago

716
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,920
we upgraded all the equipment that's

717
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,839
supposed to fix the issue

718
00:36:07,839 --> 00:36:09,359
and uh

719
00:36:09,359 --> 00:36:10,560
obviously

720
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,400
so i don't know why it was working now

721
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,800
it's not but um hopefully we'll get it

722
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,480
addressed all right so are you asking me

723
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,560

724
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,829

00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,280
zalewski williams and um

755
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,880
miss patrick that's going to let you go

756
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,359
first because you're online

757
00:38:05,359 --> 00:38:06,050
okay

758
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:17,030
[Music]

759
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,280
gateway um our country

760
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,800
and for me

761
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,280
you know as a child of movements in the

762
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,839
city that's just the city of immigrants

763
00:38:25,839 --> 00:38:28,240
um i just feel like it's very very

764
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:30,000
appropriate that the statute of liberty

765
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,200
returned to

766
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,560
park

767
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,800
and welcome all of our visitors to

768
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,599
schenectady in a park that we've now

769
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:40,720
spent so much money renovating um i

770
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,000
think that

771
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,000
you know i hear the argument sometimes

772
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,839
that the park now is supposed to be a

773
00:38:45,839 --> 00:38:48,400
place of public contemporary art

774
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,119
um but i do want to suggest that you

775
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:52,320
know we don't want to throw up in

776
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,880
history as we continue to move forward

777
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,200
with progress and i think that again

778
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,880
having the new liberty

779
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,079
there with for example the pride

780
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:04,079
sculpture which represents you know

781
00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:06,240
freedom for a whole nother group of

782
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,800
individuals in our country that

783
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,119
worked hard to earn their rights

784
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:12,640
i just think it's a very very

785
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,160
appropriate setting for statute of

786
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,760
liberty and i really would like to see

787
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,160
the council support the move of the

788
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,079
statute back to

789
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:22,640
um gateway park so that's that's what i

790
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:29,190
want to say and i appreciate this

791
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,400
so um i'm in agreement um you know this

792
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,640
has been

793
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,720
a tough time for this poor little statue

794
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:40,000
um she needs to go back to the park and

795
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,480
i know that um you know if we could get

796
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,359
support here i'm in hopes that we can

797
00:39:45,359 --> 00:39:47,680
hopefully get it back over there um so

798
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,560
i'm in full support of it so i'd like to

799
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,320
make a motion to

800
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,920
move it forward

801
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,880
i could

802
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,880
so um but we could move forward is

803
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,960
discussing with the mayor because um my

804
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,560
understanding is

805
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,079
he's the final decision maker i wish he

806
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:04,319
was still here so he had some input on

807
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:05,280
this

808
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,790
so mr colony

809
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,910
we could actually move a resolution

810
00:40:10,910 --> 00:40:12,400
[Music]

811
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,400
support as a council whatever the mayor

812
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,400
does the mayor does

813
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,839
um

814
00:40:17,839 --> 00:40:18,640
so

815
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,040
we could do that um

816
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,640
i think it's

817
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,640
you know the whole history of

818
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,960
the movement of the statue

819
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,040
and all that i don't want against that

820
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,920
because it's long and complicated and

821
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,400
quite translated

822
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,839
but um

823
00:40:35,839 --> 00:40:37,680
i would be in favor of moving it back at

824
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,880
this point and maybe we put a statue

825
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,319
at that corner

826
00:40:42,319 --> 00:40:44,079
with something to do with the airy canal

827
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,720
which would be more fitting here oh

828
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:48,960
where littering is now yeah i mean this

829
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,200
doesn't turn out anything but well it

830
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,800
could be nothing but you know it's

831
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,400
something we could move forward as a

832
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,560
council and whatever the mayor chooses

833
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,720
to do we choose to do it i think what we

834
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:00,480
need to do is go back to where we

835
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,480
originally um when it was originally

836
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,440
moved

837
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,880
my understanding was sitting there that

838
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,480
it would be moved back so we need to go

839
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,920
back and look at that legislation if

840
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,240
we're as moving this resolution over

841
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:12,480
and and bring that back say this was the

842
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,880
original plan and we'd like to be able

843
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,160
to um to do to the resolution that the

844
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,280
original plan is what we'll stick to

845
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,640
that's exactly what i was going to ask

846
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,160
for is that it was a resolution when

847
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,079
this was a move was the yes the

848
00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:28,400
discussion was to move it back to the

849
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,720
over some location so we just go back to

850
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:32,839
there and we can do resolution and

851
00:41:32,839 --> 00:41:34,640
support again i'm totally improving to

852
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,960
that as long as i'm in this council i

853
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,280
think the majority of us in this country

854
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,520
always was constantly supported he

855
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,640
relocated back to its original place and

856
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,440
i'm in full support of that

857
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,680
so um so we're asking for a motion to

858
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,839
draft the resolution to support the

859
00:41:51,839 --> 00:41:53,599
original uh

860
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:55,920
idea of moving the laboratory i just

861
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,200
have a

862
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,560
is that resolution in 2013 climbing or

863
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:07,080
non-binary

864
00:42:07,090 --> 00:42:09,520
[Music]

865
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,760
2013 city council class resolution

866
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,430
2013-206

867
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,920
approving and adopting the 2013 gateway

868
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,520
positive with a patient

869
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,510
you know over 100 page plan

870
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,079
i pulled out one quote from the plan

871
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,400
that i thought was applicable i was

872
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,400
asked to look into it just so that

873
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,000
everybody's on the same page with what i

874
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:32,880
saw

875
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,640
and i did a search so i may have missed

876
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,040
something but i did search just a

877
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,040
statue of liberty to see where it was in

878
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,240
the plan

879
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:43,280
and on page 19 of the plan

880
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,720
it's section 1.12 existing monuments and

881
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:49,599
historic markers it says quote

882
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:50,960
there are numerous monuments and

883
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,359
historic markers throughout the park the

884
00:42:53,359 --> 00:42:55,599
number of monuments and signs coupled

885
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:58,720
with a proximity to one and one another

886
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:01,200
has the effect of cluttering the park

887
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,200
each should be evaluated as part of the

888
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,200
new design and careful consideration

889
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,720
should be given as to how they are

890
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,720
placed within the new plaza

891
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,119
that's what it said

892
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:13,760
i did not find anything in there saying

893
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,760
you know it should be removed

894
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,240
and not find anything in there that said

895
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:19,440
it should be

896
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,359
relocated i did not find anything in

897
00:43:21,359 --> 00:43:23,520
there that said it shouldn't be removed

898
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,200
or it shouldn't be relocated

899
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,280
that's what i saw in looking at the plan

900
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,760
so i would say that it you know is it

901
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,040
binding

902
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,520
it's a plan that the council adopted

903
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,119
it's binding to the degree that is

904
00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:39,280
fitted up by the council but again it's

905
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,760
a plan right plans sometimes don't

906
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,119
always reference that

907
00:43:43,119 --> 00:43:45,440
so i think there is some uh

908
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,680
maneuverability within the plan because

909
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,240
as things were developing the plaza in

910
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:51,599
terms of what they were doing to the

911
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:53,839
park there had to be some flexibility

912
00:43:53,839 --> 00:43:56,480
within that so it was the ideal of the

913
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,390
plan and then what actually happened

914
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,160
so then our resolution should just so we

915
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,359
get it right

916
00:44:05,359 --> 00:44:08,880
so our resolution should be to

917
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,079
recommend the movement back to liberty

918
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:16,710
park

919
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,160
i don't have an opinion on that you know

920
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,160
that's not a legal question okay the

921
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:37,020
council can you

922
00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:41,349
[Music]

923
00:44:41,359 --> 00:44:42,560
okay

924
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,280
so the final five items on the agenda

925
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:57,990
are an executive session

926
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:04,870
probably will have to leave

927
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,880
okay
