00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,639 italy uh the stretch of erie from union 55 00:05:58,639 --> 00:05:59,680 to 56 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,680 knox street and then also the lower part 57 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840 of broadway to the highway 58 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:06,400 that we had a strategy to help 59 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800 pay for the expansion that we were going 60 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,120 to be um 61 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,840 incrementally adding to the assessment 62 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,440 until we got to 63 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,199 a point where we could be a little bit 64 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,520 more balanced we did not do that last 65 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,520 year because of pandemic we decided it 66 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,240 was 67 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,919 proven that everybody was going through 68 00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:24,880 but 69 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,759 starting for 2022 as you can see we've 70 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:29,680 we're getting back to that strategy so 71 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,840 you see the increase the proposed 72 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:34,479 increase in the assessment on that page 73 00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:37,280 and along with that there's the 74 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,600 small increase in the base participation 75 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,960 fee 76 00:06:40,960 -->

money and some 223 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,440 opportunities for grants and low 224 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,600 interest and rolling his homes for us so 225 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,560 thanks paul 226 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,399 yeah some of you may recall as part of 227 00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:46,160 the force main work and the pump station 228 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,079 work we've helped the city secure over 229 00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:50,079 20 millions of 20 million dollars in 230 00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:52,959 regard to those projects so when paul 231 00:12:52,959 --> 00:12:55,839 asked us to do a preliminary review of 232 00:12:55,839 --> 00:12:58,480 the wells and 233 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,399 supporting facilities out at the well 234 00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:01,440 field 235 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,279 we looked at the program we went in we 236 00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:05,440 did a comprehensive look at all the 237 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,839 assets at the facility 238 00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:09,600 and we sat down and we made some 239 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,680 recommendations working with the city in 240 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,720 terms of where you were as paul said 241 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,800 it's an 80 year old well field as you 242 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,720 can imagine a lot of the facilities that 243 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360 kind of run uh towards the end of their 244 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,240 uh 245 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,160 their service life 246 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,959 so we're looking to invest some money or 247 00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:28,639 paul was looking to invest some money in 248 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:30,399 the well field and bring it back up to 249 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:31,360 speed 250 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,360 and up to you know really building in 251 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,920 that resiliency and that redundancy that quite frankly the state expects in 252 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,279 these systems 253 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:41,040 as you can imagine this is a critical 254 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,800 facility this is this is your water 255 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,839 supply 256 00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:45,600 this is the water supply for not only 257 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,440 the entire city your support other 258 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,839 adjoining municipalities as well 259 00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:51,440 so this is one of the most important 260 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,600 assets that this city has 261 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,399 so when we develop the program 262 00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:58,079 you know one of the things we first do 263 00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:00,320 is and try to pair it up with the grant 264 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,440 money and for the drinking water 265 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,519 the weha funds 266 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,199 they're available 267 00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:09,920 due to your mean household income you're 268 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,920 eligible for these funds not all 269 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,360 communities are 270 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320 they're intended to serve 271 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,800 environmental justice areas and under 272 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,880 underprivileged entities within 273 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,880 communities so that's kind of the target 274 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,720 audience the state is looking to support 275 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,959 with these funding programs 276 00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:28,880 of which you qualify 277 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,440 so we did go forth and essentially set 278 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,320 up a two-phase program for the city 279 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320 which would allow you to go in and apply 280 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,720 for vf funding this year and then again 281 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,199 next year in support of this program 282 00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:43,279 so essentially the way the program works 283 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,160 is you get sixty percent on the dollar 284 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,079 up to three million three million 285 00:14:48,079 --> 00:14:49,839 dollars in a given year 286 00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:51,519 so that's why we phased it out the way 287 00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:52,720 we did 288 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,560 now that being said 289 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,639 um as you can imagine 290 00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:59,120 uh the state was kind of in limbo they 291 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,880 were waiting for the federal 292 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,199 infrastructure bill to pass 293 00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:05,519 so this program kind of slid a little 294 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:06,959 bit later into the fall than they 295 00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:09,360 anticipated 296 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,199 they did not actually wait until that 297 00:15:11,199 --> 00:15:12,639 pass they got to the point where they 298 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:13,839 had to act 299 00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:16,079 and then opened up the window but it was 300 00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:17,760 a smaller window and they were looking 301 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,040 for people to 302 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,639 you know apply by the end of the year so 303 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:22,560 that they could get this funding going 304 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,519 because 305 00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:25,279 the state's very proud they actually 306 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:27,680 have the largest state revolving fund in 307 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,720 the nation 308 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,639 they're very proud of that fact 309 00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,240 they love the fact that they support 310 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,639 these water wastewater projects 311 00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,160 and you got to spend the money in order 312 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,480 for the feds to keep getting you 313 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,399 so we're trying to help the state spend 314 00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,320 some money here 315 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,560 so that being said there are two 316 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,800 ordinances or resolutions that are 317 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,480 before us 318 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,959 in support of the grant application 319 00:15:50,959 --> 00:15:52,800 we have to pass them past the 320 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,320 environmental negative negative 321 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,000 declaration 322 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,399 and then of course we have to pass 323 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,160 a bond resolution 324 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,680 that talks about the financing of the 325 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,440 project 326 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,600 so right now the project is listed on 327 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,040 the state dependent use plan so we have 328 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,959 the option to get financing through that 329 00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:12,880 program 330 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,560 and 331 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,000 the application deadline is actually 332 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320 november 22nd 333 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,399 at five o'clock 334 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:24,160 so we are 335 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,920 inquiring as to whether there's a way to 336 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,839 pass these resolutions prior to that 337 00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:29,519 final deadline 338 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:31,120 because we wouldn't want to necessarily 339 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,720 get excluded 340 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,839 for uh passing a 341 00:16:34,839 --> 00:16:38,079 resolution explain to them too is uh uh 342 00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:39,759 even though we passed this behind 343 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:42,320 resolution that authorizes us to borrow 344 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,160 money but we necessarily drive with our 345 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,480 own money because of the 346 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,160 you explain that to them too yeah 347 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,600 essentially what we're doing this is a grant application and 348 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,759 financing application 349 00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:55,600 we put forth the applications if we 350 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,680 don't receive the grant funding 351 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,839 you don't have to move forward uh even 352 00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:02,079 if you do receive the grant funding you 353 00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:03,920 still don't have to sign a contract to 354 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,959 accept that it's just most people do 355 00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:08,480 most people when they're handed three 356 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,199 million dollars we usually take it and 357 00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:12,799 there's two phases of the project and he 358 00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:14,959 says three is phase one and phase two 359 00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:16,079 for next year which would be the 360 00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,880 additional three 361 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520 are there any questions 362 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,480 just the logistical problem is to get 363 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,839 the application in 364 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,080 later on today on monday where going 365 00:17:30,080 -->

both phases were roughly 12 months and a 377 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,320 half a little over 12. the first phase 378 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,160 was 7 million that was the installation 379 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,000 of three new wells yeah the second phase 380 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,320 after their connection would be the 381 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,080 upgrade for the chemical system skating 382 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,280 system 383 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,720 um 384 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,400 and the buildings 385 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,400 and we did have you

00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,880 tremendous 429 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,880 that's why i hate to see you miss an 430 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,200 opportunity to go in and just grab your 431 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,870 small share of that at 3 million 432 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120 but that being said 433 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,080 uh with the federal bill passing 434 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,799 we simply don't know what kind of 435 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,440 additional favorable terms 436 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,840 efc may throw out as part of that that 437 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,360 additional funding 438 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:21,919 so you know our advice is to try and get 439 00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:24,000 in now 440 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320

initially looked at but 545 00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:43,360 it's to uh get people thinking about it 546 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:45,679 and starting the process it won't 547 00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:47,520 preclude people from doing things in the 548 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,120 future but 549 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,840 just starting the application process 550 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,440 you can see how many people are 551 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,279 interested what areas they're interested 552 00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:56,240 in 553 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,159 and 554 00:26:58,159 --> 00:26:59,679 hopefully by the end of the year we will 555 00:26:59,679 --> 00:27:01,520 also know 556 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,279 like the money that was 557 00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:05,279 in the bill that the president signed 558 00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:06,480 today 559 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,240 for infrastructure just like with the 560 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,159 prior topic 561 00:27:10,159 --> 00:27:11,279 where 562 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:12,320 some of those things we might have 563 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,159 considered are the money for hopefully 564 00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:15,919 some other projects will be eligible for 565 00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:18,080 this new money that's out there and we 566 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,880 would apply for that or qualify for it 567 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,159 under the 568 00:27:22,159 --> 00:27:25,440 rules that have been adapted 569 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000 for country 570 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,919 um i was just wondering 571 00:27:29,919 --> 00:27:31,760 in terms of decision making once 572 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,399 applications are in is is it in your 573 00:27:34,399 --> 00:27:37,120 community or is it just staff 574 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:38,159 it's 575 00:27:38,159 --> 00:27:40,320 that's still open okay we looked to 576 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,640 review it the council reporter was 577 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,559 talking about 578 00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:47,200 some community review 579 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520 again there's different types of 580 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,000 applications maybe looking for different 581 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000 areas of expertise 582 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000 to submit it to and 583 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,760 again get people's ideas thoughts and 584 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,679 looking for the overall impact to be the 585 00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:02,880 biggest 586 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,320 leveraging resources for the community 587 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,360 why don't you think you'll have a 588 00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:13,669 final report because this is 589 00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:16,320 not much i mean it's a lot of data but 590 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,720 it's not very well put together so when 591 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,559 do you think you'll have a 592 00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:22,960 like a finalized report 593 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,279 that's at this point that 594 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:26,550 i'm not looking to do 595 00:28:26,550 --> 00:28:28,000 [Music] 596 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,640 any additional review on that mr council 597 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,159 asked me to 598 00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:34,240 which might be hinting at you 599 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080 i'm gonna send you an email asking for 600 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,880 everyone or do you have a report 601 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,440 do you have a question well actually um 602 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,710 it's kind of i was going to ask 603 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,720 because i think we've heard of these 604 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,840 that people really want to be a part of 605 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,520 the process and i don't think you have 606 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,360 to concern yourself about people waiting 607 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,880 for people to start thinking about this 608 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,399 people are already thinking about this 609 00:28:56,399 --> 00:29:00,549 they're always trying to 610 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,039 i think it's uh really important that uh 611 00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:05,200 since this is a one-time thing we think 612 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,440 that we get the community but you know 613 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,039 this you know it's a lot of money and 614 00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:11,039 it's going to impact our city so 615 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,039 have folks that you know have the skill 616 00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:14,480 set and i think that's part of it as 617 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,600 well but to have a community but 618 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,080 it's part of it um and i'm not a survey 619 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,200 expert i don't know who you are but i 620 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,720 was going back through my notes from all 621 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,799 the community meetings 622 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:28,720 while i was also reviewing the survey 623 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,520 and 624 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,200 while there's 625 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,720 some 626 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,080 before 627 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,720 overlap between what we had and what we 628 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,279 heard at the painting meetings and 629 00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:40,880 what folks said in this survey there's 630 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,679 like 196 people that responded to the 631 00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:46,000 survey it would be sort of interesting i 632 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,120 didn't have time today i was going to 633 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,640 try to type up some notes from the 634 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,880 various community meetings um and get 635 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,240 them out to everybody i didn't get a 636 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,399 chance but um 637 00:29:54,399 --> 00:29:55,600 i think that would be kind of an 638 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,159 interesting overview as well 639 00:29:58,159 --> 00:29:59,919 to look at 640 00:29:59,919 --> 00:30:01,600 while we look at the survey results is 641 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,520 to also look at and i'm sure other 642 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,840 people took notes and have impressions 643 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:12,630 as well from

need to do things for the 647 00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:20,159 city so at this point in time 648 00:30:20,159 --> 00:30:21,600 do you have that number i thought mr 649 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,720 ferrari but i think he got out 650 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,880 he is left 651 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,510 uh 652 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,440 some of that still will be determined by 653 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,000 the city council what we use for revenue 654 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,120 replacement some of those internal uses 655 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,960 of it 656

signs do on 740 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,679 pedestrian j street it's been through 741 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,839 planning and there's been no issues so 742 00:34:41,839 --> 00:34:44,399 looking forward to vote 743 00:34:44,399 --> 00:34:46,800 any questions 744 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:52,770 second 745 00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:56,720 [Music] 746 00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,880 so as you know we've been working for 747 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,960 almost two years now in the replacement 748 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,480 of the kings road bridge between the 749 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,400 city of connecticut and town rotterdam 750 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,800 um due to the increase with the bridge 751 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,400 because we're going to be having uh 752 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,440 added with on the shoulders or bikes and 753 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,599 the sidewalk for pedestrians 754 00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:16,000 there's been some right of way necessary 755 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,880 to accommodate it um so to do that 756 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,359 through this procedure which says 757 00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:22,800 domain procedure we need to have a 758 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,720 health problem hearing um we're working 759 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:27,520 with both uh mr coldin and rk height and 760 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:38,630 our consultant on this process 761 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,440 just 762 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,200 some background in terms of damaging 763 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,359 domain we initially went out to the 764 00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:46,160 property owners to see if they would 765 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,880 sell the small pieces of land to the 766 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,270 city 767 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,200 without getting into too much detail if 768 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,359 there was one person who was willing to 769 00:35:55,359 --> 00:35:57,520 sell 770 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,200 there was one person who has 771 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,880 unfortunately passed away the owner the 772 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,960 last owner of record which creates an 773 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,359 issue um because there's no surrogacy or 774 00:36:05,359 --> 00:36:08,320 anything like that and then i think um 775 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,839 maybe with the other parcel or two 776 00:36:09,839 --> 00:36:12,960 parcels same owner who's unwilling to 777 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,440 sell but the only way to obviously 778 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,119 accomplish 779 00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:19,680 this project is we need to obviously 780 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,760 have you know control over that small 781 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,000 part and these are called strip takings 782 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,680 right they're not 783 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,680 properly they're in a small part to make 784 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,240 the right of way five to ten feet wider 785 00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:31,760 so that we could do the construction 786 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,270 that's needed 787 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,079 yes 788 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:37,200 so is this just going to be an 789 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,720 adjustment for the bee 790 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:41,200 i'm sorry you're just adjusting the v so 791 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,280 like there's a survey right that has to 792 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,200 be done and i see a splitting of the 793 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,400 parcel so we have a new tax map id 794 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,960 for those parcels and then we go through 795 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,560 the process 796 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:53,359 right 797 00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:54,880 so there's no splitting of the deed it's 798 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,920 just a 799 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,079 tax for like tax map purposes that would 800 00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:02,230 have to be splitting the parcels 801 00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:06,230 any other questions 802 00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,040 does the owner know that we're 803 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,880 going to probably be going down this 804 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:11,760 path 805 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,480 well i i wasn't part of the conversation 806 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,119 with the owners um bob did that 807 00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:21,270 um 808 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,800 you know we 809 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,119 essentially what we do is we um 810 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:26,880 determine what the value of the land is 811 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,240 that's what a fair market value for that 812 00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:30,640 surface is we make the offer to sell it 813 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,480 at that fair market value 814 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,359 um and you know obviously we can sweeten 815 00:37:35,359 --> 00:37:37,200 the pot because 816 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,359 it's a task to do a domain right um 817 00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:43,839 but if they refuse to sell and we need 818 00:37:43,839 --> 00:37:45,920 it for this public purpose 819 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,640 um you know they're gonna receive notice 820 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,560 it's not as if we just go ahead and take 821 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,560 it there's a process involved where they 822 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,240 have notice 823 00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:55,599 and have the ability to represent 824 00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:57,599 themselves or hire you know 825 00:37:57,599

of transportation 851 00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:53,359 they concurred the award and issued us a 852 00:38:53,359 --> 00:38:55,200 federal authorization in the form of the 853 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,119 supplemental agreement the supplemental 854 00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:58,839 agreement will allow the city to be 855 00:38:58,839 --> 00:39:01,040 reimbursed for the construction costs on 856 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,160 the project 857 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,240 um because this is a federal aid project 858 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,960 so as you see right here the i believe 859 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,320 it's 400 860 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,359 487 000 of the construction costs are 861 00:39:11,359 --> 00:39:13,119 reimbursable 862 00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:14,240 so 863 00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,880 it's it's a reimbursement so you know 864 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,240 we're doing some of the work now we're 865 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,160 setting the curbs in place actually i 866 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,160 was out there today it looks uh starting 867 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,320 to starting to take shape you can see it 868 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,599 one of the issues that we're having that 869 00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:27,280 i brought up before is still supply 870 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,640 chain 871 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,720 whereas in a lot of those areas that you 872 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:32,480 see we're going to put temporary asphalt 873 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,760 in because our signal installers have to 874 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,400 come and put in large foundations and 875 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,359 new things because we're getting an 876 00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:41,440 all-new traffic signal and each traffic 877 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,800 signal also have pedestrian 878 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,079 accommodations have their own 879 00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:45,280 foundations 880 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,960 so we're trying to get ahead but the 881 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,079 supply chain is a little hard for us but 882 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:51,839 even with the curve in right now it's 883 00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:53,359 already made a difference and you're 884 00:39:53,359 --> 00:39:55,359 going to be able to cross 885 00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:57,119 across the road across the window of the 886 00:39:57,119 --> 00:39:59,359 shorter crossing using the median 887 00:39:59,359 --> 00:40:01,119 this year which would be nice because 888 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:02,960 we've kind of eliminated that large 889 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,480 crossing 890 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,200 so 891 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,640 you know it's progress but this is the 892 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,400 next step so that we can get reimbursed 893 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,800 for any costs we've heard and thank you 894 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:36,829 for a long time 895 00:40:36,839 --> 00:40:38,800 operations we have three items on the 896 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,480 agenda 897 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,880 first item on discussion osn broadcast 898 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,839 of city council and committee meetings mr 899 00:40:45,839 --> 00:40:46,880 pauline 900 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,680 so mr schmidt couldn't be here tonight 901 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,720 i'm osm so i'll just give some of the 902 00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,000 information 903 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,359 and then 904 00:40:55,359 --> 00:40:58,079 i think it's more appropriate to let him 905 00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:01,599 speak to these issues so i reached out 906 00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:03,760 he recommended reaching out to a company 907 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,040 like savvy or eos technologies which is 908 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,440 down in area boulevard to update 909 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,359 equipment and perform some cable 910 00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:13,120 management 911 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,480 [Music] 912 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,960 he said some specific issues that need 913 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,200 to be addressed are the committee board 914 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,880 room here needs new audio system 915 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,599 and looking at gooseneck mics similar to 916 00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:28,240 what's in the console chambers 917 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:29,920 this would help eliminate some of the 918 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,319 sounds of the air conditioners and 919 00:41:32,319 --> 00:41:36,000 background noises for presentations he 920 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,839 would 921 00:41:37,839 --> 00:41:40,079 recommend a roll-out podium with a 922 00:41:40,079 --> 00:41:43,359 planted mic to centralize audio and keep 923 00:41:43,359 --> 00:41:45,599 the presenter centered 924 00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:47,520 he says the committee room also needs 925 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,839 new wiring back up to the control room 926 00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:51,920 behind the console chambers 927 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,599 and an additional wire ram for second 928 00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:57,280 cameras 929 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,760 off florida's all team by the way 930 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,160 this would give us give them two angles 931 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,880 of video in the committee board room as 932 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,800 opposed to just warmth 933 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:07,020 and 934 00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:08,319 [Music] 935 00:42:08,319 --> 00:42:11,599 city council chambers needs one wire ran 936 00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:13,760 and installed back to the control area 937 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,760 to feed the third camera 938 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,240 and the cordless handheld mics 939 00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:20,400 the council uses also need to be 940 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,000 replaced 941 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,800 it's a lot the internet stream quality 942 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,640 stems from a lack of sufficient 943 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,200 bandwidth in the room 944 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,400 and 945 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,800 this has been communicated to our i.t 946 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,079 staff 947 00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:37,520 and that's the large reason for 948 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,040 the stream getting weak and dropping out 949 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,640 he says this is 950 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,960 this we can address without outside 951 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,040 consultation 952 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,359 probably a new wired connection ran to 953 00:42:49,359 --> 00:42:51,359 the control room which could be 954 00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:55,040 installed so he's offered to 955 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,680 reach out to the companies 956 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,240 so i think that's probably our best 957 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:02,960 approach so we get some idea of 958 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,240 cost 959 00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:05,839 given that we 960 00:43:05,839 --> 00:43:08,640 want to say a year and a half or two ago 961 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,200 we put in a chunk of money so that we 962 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,960 wouldn't have these issues 963 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,680 um so we'll see what this costs 964 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:16,800 and then 965 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,119 i'll forward you this information so you 966 00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:21,200 all have it and then 967 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,680 ask him to try to get some 968 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,440 preliminary numbers and exacts and 969 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,560 hopefully happen in two weeks 970 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,560 so you mentioned a company is there more 971 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,760 than one company that you would be 972 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,839 looking at so that you know 973 00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:37,760 there's two companies 974 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,880 savvy and eos okay so 975 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,480 this is something i'm sure we have had 976 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,319 about today 977 00:43:44,319 --> 00:43:46,480 it depends on what you cost 978 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,069 a lot of things 979 00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:52,160 some of those items pricing around the 980 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,300 state contract 981 00:43:55,310 --> 00:44:05,670 [Music] 982 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,359 and so the next step on this is 983 00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:11,520 have him reach out to the company see if 984 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,000 we can get some numbers and see if he's 985 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,920 available in two weeks hopefully 986 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,000 okay 987 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,640 any other questions 988 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,680 i just got a text message that the 989 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:29,589 video audio was blacked out 990 00:44:29,599

00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:45,119 this is just an ongoing issue 999 00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:47,839 and i know i get text messages every 1000 00:44:47,839 --> 00:44:48,880 meeting 1001 00:44:48,880 -->

00:45:44,240 schmidt and couple weeks 1031 00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:49,910 back on the agenda 1032 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,680 discussion calling for public hearings 1033 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,200 to amend chapter 1034 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,200 87 eleven of the calling the city of 1035 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,200 schenectady very holidays and this is a 1036 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,960 follow-up to discussion 1037 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,430 of june 21st regarding juneteenth 1038 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:04,800 so um 1039 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,800 i think mr moonvery 1040 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,480 we had talked about this earlier about 1041 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:09,440 um 1042 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,200 duo teams was 1043 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,119 considered considered a federal holiday 1044 00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:18,079 now and do we amend our code to reflect that as well 1045 00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:19,359 at the last discussion i think we 1046 00:46:19,359 --> 00:46:21,280 haven't even asked us to hold on until 1047 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,200 all the union contracts have completed 1048 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,280 so now it's 1049 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,200 contracts are completed the ones that 1050 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,400 were pending 1051 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,079 and it says that 1052 00:46:30,079 -->
