[Music]

6
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:33,440
you open that here it's impossible not

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,719
to spill it just a little bit through

8
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:48,709

00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,280
i already cut up that one

44
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:55,270
this was a much prettier one

45
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:07,270
okay

46
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,550
right

47
00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:24,629
[Music]

48
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:26,800
when i send a

49
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,879
legislative request out

50
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:30,560

51
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,399
that other time but sam sends everything

00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,719
okay

57
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:39,179
except

58
00:08:39,179 --> 00:08:49,910
[Music]

59
00:08:49,920 --> 00:09:03,190
is

60
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,760
like the review here does not need to go

61
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,509
into exactly the session about

62
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:12,800
i don't think that qualifies for

63
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,959
executive sessions that's after all the

64
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:16,720
public hearing the second one the

65
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,480
discussion that i'm going to negative

66
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,000
should be an executive session because

67
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,310
it has to do

68
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,680
all right

69
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,640
okay

70
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,800
good evening thank you

71
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,040
and uh first of all i'd like to call for

72
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,200
this connectivity city council uh

73
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,959
committee meeting to order for monday

74
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:37,200

77
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,600
go right to public safety

78
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,200
so i'd like to call the public safety

79
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,519
committee to order we have two items on

80
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,920
the agenda this evening the first is the

81
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160
body worn camera grant and it will be

82
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,480
briefed by assistant chief max

83
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,389
thank you website

84
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:15,990
welcome happy new year

85
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,560
so you decide to expand the program um

86
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:21,839
into our animal control officers our our

87
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:22,640
um

88
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,160
parking lot tenants as well as our

89
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,760
detectives now

90
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,680
um just for clarification of course

91
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,959
detectives

92
00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:30,399
use that as they see fit you know

93
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:32,160
sometimes instead of do work patrol

94
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,160
activities um they do interdictions

95
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,920
sometimes or depending on their job

96
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
segment so there's to record that it's

97
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,200
not to be on 24 7 all interviews i just

98
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,279
kind of carry that up right

99
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:45,440
there then obviously anybody's not put

100
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,880
in the warehouse patrol officers every

101
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,640
innovation it's a little bit different

102
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,120
objectives um with that said

103
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,880
the program is basically completely

104
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120
funded by

105
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,720
the bureau of

106
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,800
justice program and

107
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,320
there is an in-kind service that we have

108
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120
to leave and kind of match i should say

109
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,800
and it really comes down to

110
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,480
lieutenant kind of signs the program

111
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,399
some of his salary we have some other

112
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,480
personnel assigned to

113
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,200
uh

114
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,040
video redaction and so forth and

115
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,360
basically we laid that out all out the

116
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,519
grant application and

117
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:19,760
it is our match so no this is the budget

118
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,360
neutral but it's um 155

119
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,320
20

120
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,839
award from the cameras and

121
00:11:26,839 --> 00:11:29,040

122
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,560

[Music]

125
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,959
if not then if i can get a motion to

126
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:39,120
pass the grant

127
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,240
second

128
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,680
favorite hi

129
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,839
so moving to the second agenda item it's

130
00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:48,160
a ceremonial resolution recognizing tom

131
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480

132
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480
national academy and i'll be presented

133
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,389
by mr collins

134
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:00,160
mr kelly went to the fbi academy um

135
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,040
which is very prestigious uh i believe

136
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,000
the

137
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,920
third member of our course the chief

00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800

139
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
and now him

140
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,279
so that would be uh i think assistant

00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:21,750
chief seavers also

142
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,680

the academy

144
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,680
so this would be to recognize his uh

145
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,600
hard work from a very prestigious

146
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,600

00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,000
call the worker government operations we

160
00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:11,839
first is uh governor hercule's executive

161
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:12,880
order

162
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,200
11.1 and

163
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,760
andrew they're going to uh speak to that

164
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,639
yep i know this is a assessor mcelroy

165
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:22,079
whose name was on here unfortunately

166
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:24,959
she's ill today um

167
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:26,880
so you should have before you uh

168
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,120
legislative request

169
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,240
to

170
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,200
um

171
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,040
essentially exercise a local option

172
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,079
pursuant to governor hokul's executive

173
00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:38,320
order 11.1

174
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,079
it relates to

175
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:47,040
allowing those people with exemptions as it mentions in the request item

176
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,050
the ability to

177
00:13:48,050 --> 00:13:49,440
[Music]

178
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,279
get essentially

179
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:53,680
an automatic exemption

180
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:57,199
um that that those people had on the

181
00:13:57,199 --> 00:13:59,519
prior assessment year

182
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:00,480
role

183
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,839
so we're dealing we're talking about

184
00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:03,440
senior low-income and disabled

185
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,360
low-income resident property owners in

186
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,199
the city of schenectady um their uh

187
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:12,240
exemption would be automatic based on uh

188
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,480
their presence on last year's role

189
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,829
obviously otherwise the city does not

190
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:24,000
pass a resolution to exercise this local

191
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,360
option pursuant to the executive order

192
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,600
these senior low-income and disabled

193
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,560
low-income

194
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,760
property owners would have to leave

195
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,959
their homes to file the exemption

196
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:34,480
paperwork during

197
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,560
this coven spike

198
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,040

199
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,040
executive order

200
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,360
to give the municipalities around the

00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,000
state the ability to

202
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
essentially opt in

203
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,269
to allow the automatic exemption

204
00:14:53,279 --> 00:15:09,829

216
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:41,120
there's a reminder that there's a public

217
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,920
hearing um at the next uh council

218
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,519
meeting on the 10th

219
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:49,279
related to amending section 138-30 of

220
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,199
the code to add a subsection

221
00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:53,680
for the ability

222
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,600
for tenants and

223
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,759
owners of property

224
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:00,639
to opt to have a hearing

225
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,480
in the event that the city

226
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,160
issues in order to vacate due to an

227
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,480
unsafe structure

228
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,240
this is something that i've spoken to

229
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,399
the mayor about and chris lon

230
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,079
we see this as being

231
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:13,920
a good check and a good

232
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,480
really just a better practice for the

233
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,600
city to

234
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,720
um

235
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,079
you know just review our decisions when

236
00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:23,920
um code enforcement offices are on the

237
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,519
scene to make sure that you know we're

238
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:26,399
not

239
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,240
um

240
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,759
we're not

241
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:33,279
requiring people to vacate their homes

242
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:35,279
arbitrarily or

243
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:37,279
not even arbitrarily but you know

244
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:38,880
sometimes in the in the heat of the

245
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,720
moment we may think that a property

246
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,000
needs to be vacated due to the

247
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,600
circumstance

248
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600
but in retrospect it may be that we need

249
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,279
to modify the order so this gives people

250
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:49,360
the opportunity to be heard

251
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,680
i have some language that's drafted i

252
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,759
will be sending it to city clerk

253
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:54,880
tomorrow

254
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,639
so that it can be made available as soon

255
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,000
as possible

256
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,680
and i'll obviously ask her to send it

257
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,480
along

258
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,079
to all the council members

259
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:05,520

260
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,549

00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,400

for those of you that are new on the

283
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,440
table the city of schenectady

284
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,679
applies for and receives federal funding

285
00:18:03,679 --> 00:18:06,160
for several transportation projects a

286
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,200
year

287
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,799
this is one of them this is a pedestrian

288
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:11,280
safety action plan this was money that

289
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,440
was earmarked for municipalities such as

290
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,679
the city we still had to apply for it we

291
00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:18,400
were awarded 1.1 million dollars

292
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,720
the design was completed the project was

293
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,600
bid

294
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600
the bid was awarded by the council

295
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,679
several months ago but the project has

296
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:27,919
not started yet due to weather it's

297
00:18:27,919 --> 00:18:30,080
queued to start in april however before

298
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,679
we incur any costs what this is to request the dot that we have

299
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:37,520
awarded that we have our agreements in

300
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,120
place and that we would like to be able

301
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,760
to receive federal funding to reimburse

302
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,000
ourselves so on a project such as this

303
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320
we are actually eligible for 100

304
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,480
of the federally eligible costs on the

305
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,919
project

306
00:18:49,919 --> 00:18:51,600
which in this case for construction is

307
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,679
around 800 000

308
00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:54,559

309
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:56,240

[Music]

389
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,600
you know there were a kiss is to um

390
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,679
before the american agreement for the

391
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:54,799
purchase of

392
00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:59,270
so you have deployed for the year 2022

393
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,710
any discussion

394
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,200
second second all in favor all right

395
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,200
the next item is request authorization

396
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,280
departure listed sodium by 12 2022.

397
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,840
again it's an essential chemical use

398
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,280
once we chlorinate

399
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,679
for disinfection we have to dechlorinate

400
00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:19,120
go back into the river so we have to

401
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,320
remove the chlorine after we put the

402
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,360
chlorine in

403
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:22,400
so the

404
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,559
sulfate is to remove the chlorine after

405
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:26,880
treatment prior to

406
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,039
discharging into the mobile curve again

407
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:31,440
it's an essential chemical needed in the

408
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,310
treatment

409
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,760
any discussion

410
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,840
how many bits do we get

411
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,000
um i apologize because phyllis has to

412
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,760
leave early but he should be in the mid

413
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,280
tab for the

414
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,120
sodium my sulfate yeah it looks like

415
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,640
we've got two

416
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,960
and this is the company that we've found

417
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,480
yes that's something we've used before

418
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:59,270
yes thank you

419
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,640
the next time it requires the

420
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,200
authorization of fortunes fluoride

421
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,000
asset for 2022

422
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,760
again this is for the water treatment

423
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,480
plant this is fluoride hydroxylic acid

424
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,280
it's barely chlorine um it is required

425
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,880
on the argument to put flying in the

426
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,840
drinking water for the city's

427
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,120
connectivity

428
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:19,360
again and the central capital chemical

429
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:28,280
for the treatment of water

430
00:23:28,290 --> 00:23:34,549
[Music]

431
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:37,200
the purchase of chloride yes there's no

432
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,919
objection i would like to add it

433
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:41,840
chlorine gas is

434
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,760
again it's essential in treatment for

435
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,240
our water supply it's for this infection

436
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,320
it was one vendor

437
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,029
bid it's

438
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,279
sarasota but they do have manufacturing

439
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:54,559
rhode island

440
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,799
they've been bitter for the past several

441
00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:57,600
years

442
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,520
um

443
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,240
they can only guarantee the price

444
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,720
and you would like to know

445
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,320
they can't increase the price in our in

446
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,120
their bid with 30 days notice um because

447
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,400
of the pandemic right now and the

448
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,400
production of chlorine gas they can't

449
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,880
commit to a price for the full year they

450
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,200
are the only bidder however

451
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,200
with the help from law we will put

452
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,880
something in our contract that we can

453
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,840
get out in 30 days notice also

454
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,760
okay but this is the best interest but

455
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,760
sorry this is the best interest of the

456
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,000
city to you know potentially terminate

457
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,600
that contract

458
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,400
because you know the price goes up um

459
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,640
and we need to look for another vendor

460
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,279
that can you know provide the gas at a

461
00:24:39,279 --> 00:24:40,400
better price

462
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,720
um we'll put language in the contract

463
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,159
to make sure that

464
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:49,750
we can do that

465
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,159
so we only got one bidder and let's say

466
00:24:52,159 --> 00:24:53,520
the price just went through the roof did

467
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,039
they have is there a limit on how much

468
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:56,559
they can increase the price by they do

469
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:58,559
they say that no there's not so they're

470
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:00,159
just saying if we need to increase it

471
00:25:00,159 --> 00:25:01,840
because our cost increases and i did

472
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,159
check you know um with another local

473
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:06,000
community right in front across the road

474
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
and they've got the same uh uh

475
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,520
considerable increase from last year

476
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,880
this year it's considerable increase

477
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,240
it's all based on the pandemic and the

478
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,640
trucking on the gas transportation

479
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,320
and the manufacturing of it

480
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,159
they cannot commit and you could check

481
00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:19,760
what rot it is and they also were seeing

482
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,520
a significant increase in they purchased

483
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,640
from jones also all right thank you

484
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,799
go ahead please um can we order like a

485
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:30,080
year supply no unfortunately because the

486
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,000
their cylinders and their gas we can

487
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,120
only store so many on site and

488
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,880
if we you know we can't store offsite

489
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,400
because it's considered hazardous and we

490
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,159
can't transport it ourselves of our

491
00:25:40,159 --> 00:25:41,440
vehicles so it's transferred by the

492
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760
company

493
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,279
so how much of this i'm sorry

494
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,360
how much in the supply recorder um we

495
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:51,360
usually order about 20 to 30 cylinders

496
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:52,640
at a time that's all we can pick in the

497
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,960
building

498
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,400
it's about a month something it's really

499
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,840
based on demand we use more in the

500
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,679
summer because the actual supply of

501
00:25:59,679 --> 00:26:00,960
water the demand for water goes up

502
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,279
considerably in summer watering pools

503
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,120
everything else so winter is our you

504
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,360
know lower time we don't have that much

505
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,279
of a demand so it's really based on the

506
00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:13,590
demand that we need so

507
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,760
just so um i'm just curious as to why we

508
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,200
have that one vendor

509
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,840
getting is that just in the past

510
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,520
jones chemicals

511
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:22,559
the most

512
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,120
known vendor for chlorine gas

513
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:26,880
like i said they're on a warwick years

514
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,240
ago even at the wastewater chamber plant

515
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,760
we used pouring gas and then one ton

516
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,720
cylinders

517
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,880
back in the 80s 90s it was it was jones

518
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,640
chemical they're pretty much the

519
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,279
producer pouring gas

520
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:38,799
but there was an increase from last year

521
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:42,559
this year from 125 to 240 some dollars

522
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,080
so it has come up because of the

523
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,200
pandemic

524
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,799
um but again

525
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:47,919
that's the only thing we use to

526
00:26:47,919 --> 00:26:49,679
disinfect our water supply for drinking

527
00:26:49,679 --> 00:26:59,430
water um

528
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,840
any other questions

529
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,760
we have a motion

530
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,320
second second all in favor all right

531
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,520
party any other business before finance

532
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,640
second all the favor all right we're

533
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,159
adjourned thank you thank you thank you

534
00:27:16,159 --> 00:27:19,039
i'd like to open claims um and i guess

535
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:21,279
for the first item we need to stay

536
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:23,600
uh outside of executive session

537
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,679
so we want to just go ahead with that or

538
00:27:25,679 --> 00:27:27,600
we can go into executive sessions that's

539
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,799
right there's nothing that has to well

540
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,440
for the first item because i

541
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,600
don't believe it qualifies for exactly

542
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,320
so i'm calling claims uh to order and

543
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,919
the first item on the agenda will be

544
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:40,720
presented by mr colton um regarding

545
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,760
amending section c 6 18 of the charter

546
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,440
of schenectady

547
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,640
there was a public hearing that was held

548
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,080
on december 27th related to

549
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,200
amending this section of the charter

550
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,470
to conform with

551
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,520
what the state law says to extend the if

552
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,480
you know to extend the time for

553
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,240
owners of one two and three

554
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,440
unit residential properties um

555
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,279
the time to pay their their delinquent

556
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,159
taxes um i know obviously i think would

557
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:15,600
be a question for the city clerk if any

558
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,919
public comments were received at any

559
00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:20,159
point no one spoke no comments received

560
00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:22,000
thank you

561
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,520
my position obviously from the law

562
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,960
department i brought this forward would

563
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,789
be to um

564
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:30,640
a legislative request to pass an

565
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,880
ordinance uh amending this section of

566
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,520
the charter um

567
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,120
specifically the language that was

568
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:39,440
provided um to the public and to the

569
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,120
council

570
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,640
okay any questions

571
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,320
no i just uh

572
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,000
i just want to comment that i think it's

573
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,200
important especially you know

574
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,640
