an annual grant we get based upon a

17
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,480
formula the state uses please don't ask

18
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,600
me a question about the foremost i

19
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,680
really don't know they they notify us

20
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,920
each year also do special enforcement so

21
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,680
it's obviously very serious these are

22
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,680
bad portions that go out there as well

23
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,760
as they have a um

24
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,519
this right here

25
00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:59,200
high visibility controls which are

26
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,480
important because those are ones that we

27
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,760
do around

28
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,760
super bowl sunday so far holidays

29
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,079
certain holidays just to try to minimize

30
00:12:06,079 --> 00:12:07,680
any people that might be you know

31
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,480
drinking and trying it so

32
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,639
hook up two different categories sixteen

33
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,399
thousand thirty eye controls and the

34
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:16,800
rest for high visibility so

35
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,880
any questions potentially

36
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:27,350
any questions from our council members

37
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,639
is there any other business to fall

38
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,519

thank you madam president uh first item

48
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:06,720
deals with uh

49
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,639
commonly referred to as the wedgeway

50
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:10,160
building it's been a point of

51
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,360
controversy for a number of uh

52
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,560
years

53
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,079
and uh

54
00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:18,560
the team at metroplex has been working

55
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,639
on a number of scenarios

56
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,279
and there is a easement that really has

57
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,440
been uh so

58
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,440
for all practical purposes no longer

59
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,639
needed

60
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:30,720
their city has now turn over to ray

61
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,920
gillin

62
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,160

00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,320
like to come up here sure

66
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,519
though

67
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:42,480
thank you

68
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,920
we're trying to position the wedgeway

69
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,839
building for development we've had a

70
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:47,120
great step forward with the city

71
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,800
historic commission

72
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,120
enthusiastically and unanimously move

73
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,440
forward to the state historic office a

74
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,959
recommendation that'd be listed on the

75
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,880
state historic register

76
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,839
the mayor was advocating for that and

77
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,440
it's going to be on considerable

78
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,040
placement on the historic register by

79
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,880
the state on march 10th

80
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,560
so that was an important step to ready

81
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,399
the building for development

82
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:10,079
tonight we're asking your support for

83
00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:11,920
another important step is there there's

84
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,000
an easement on the building that dates

85
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
back to 1928

86
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,920
on the little parking area next to the

87
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,040
building

88
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680
and um we've worked with colvin chris

89
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,199
wallin the mayor

90
00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:25,040
it's no longer needed by the city

91
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,440
literally dates 1928.

92
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,199
uh we need to clean it up because anyone

93
00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:30,800
who wants to come in and redevelop this

94
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,680
building

95
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,440
the bank will say oh what about this

96
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,440
easement if they'll cause this problem

97
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,680
so the city no longer needs it there are

98
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,320
no city utilities in the easement when

99
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720
every boulevard got built all utilities

100
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,560
underneath the road are new so there's

101
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,800
no need for this easement

102
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,800
and getting rid of it

103
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880
it's another step small step but very

104
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,959
important step to redeveloping

105
00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:54,560
the wedgeway building at the cornerstone

106
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,399
year

107
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:00,069
any questions

108
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:02,399
it's not nothing to say a motion

109
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:05,120
second all those in favor aye aye

110
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,310
thank you all right thank you

111
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800
next item on the agenda is to authorize

112
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,079
the mayor to enter supplemental

113
00:15:12,079 --> 00:15:13,279
agreement number one in the new york

114
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,760
state department of conversation for the

115
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:32,389
pedestrian safety action plan mr wallace

116
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,399
so this is a supplemental agreement we

117
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:37,680
actually uh passed this as a

118
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,639
committee

119
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:40,720
about two cycles ago however there was

120
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,320
an error with it and we thought it would

121
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,279
be easier just to redo it again the

122
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,440
error was is that the

123
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,440
city share the local share was not

124
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,320
included on the draft that i had

125
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,639
so if you were to turn to

126
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,440
um i don't know how to say page three

127
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,839
of the handout there is a local pair

128
00:15:59,839 --> 00:16:02,160
um it looks like this yep the back right

129
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,279
here

130
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,880
um where it says 100 nps that's 6 16 8

131
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,399
49 that is a local share that we're

132
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,000
going to be uh

133
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,519
splitting with metroplex as we move

134
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:14,560
forward

135
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,880
as this project the psat is also

136
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,240
involved with

137
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,440
the city turning j street two-way

138
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,199
by the post office and doing some other

139
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:24,720
things that were outside the scope but

140
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,320
we thought it would be better to do the

141
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,839
project than one

142
00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:29,680
so we're going to be doing

143
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,360
the federal project as one project

144
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,199
trying to accomplish some goals and now

145
00:16:33,199 --> 00:16:36,240
that's reflected on

146
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,120
so

147
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,480
this wasn't on the report so we've

148
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,920
already identified where this ship will

149
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,360
be in the budget we've already budgeted

150
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,279
yes yep this is we're using for this

151
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,680
money so every year we either use chips

152
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,440
money which is a state allocation or we

153
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,040
use road improvement money which was in

154
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,120
the budget so we use a combination of

155
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,720
that to do these type of infrastructure

156
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,279
projects so there is no new budgeted

157
00:16:55,279 --> 00:16:56,639
items needed to go this was already

158
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,079
incorporated into a bunch of things do

159
00:16:58,079 --> 00:16:59,920
you know what um what percentage the

160
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,519
metroplex would pay yeah i believe there

161
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:03,519
are around 200 000 of this i have to

162
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:05,280
check up there for the for the j-street

163
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,799
portion of it i've been working with

164
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,079
jamie on that

165
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,319
okay okay other questions council

166
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:12,480
members

167
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,079
all right it's not possible to entertain

168
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,120
a motion

169
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,839
second almost in

170
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:20,319
favor okay the next time is to authorize

171
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,839

number 664 to j3 properties llc

173
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:28,079

174
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:32,160
a revocable permit 132 gay streak which

175
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,600

00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,799
of development received a request from

193
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:24,799
spinel properties to change the zoning

194
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:26,559
of two parcels

195
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:28,720
from our free multi-family residential

196
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,120
to the c5 business history

197
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,679
um this has this this site includes

198
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:36,400
approximately 54.6 acres that live

199
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,039
within the city and it has another 62

200
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:41,120
acres that are in the town of rotterdam

201
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,400
so it splits between the two

202
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,720
municipalities

203
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,559
the proposed

204
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:49,120
zoning change from the current zoning in

205
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,400
the cities portion is from r3 to the c5

206
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,919
and this allows for various uses um 64

207
00:18:55,919 --> 00:18:57,360
different uses that are defined in the

208
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,200
code i think we gave you some

209
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,799
information about what those potential

210
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,990
uses could be

211
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,679
and the the directly adjacent um to the

212
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:10,880
parcels here is the r3 multi-family the

213
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,640
r1 single family

214
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,880
and r101 family residential within the

215
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,799
town of rotterdam

216
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:18,960
there hasn't been a specific use

217
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,160
identified for the property

218
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,080
and access to the site is made via

219
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,760
jackson avenue which is a residential

220
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,520
street um that begins on the corner of

221
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,360
lawton albany street

222
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,679
so this is really it's on here for

223
00:19:31,679 --> 00:19:32,799
discussion

224
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:33,600
we

225
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,280
understand that this could open up a

226
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,120
potential for a variety of retail and

227
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,360
office uses has the potential to

228
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,120
increase the tax revenue and local

229
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:43,039
employment in the city and it could be a

230
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:45,039
catalyst for the revitalization in the

231
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:46,640
woodlawn neighborhood

232
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,200
but we also need to be you know

233
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,440
able to effectively evaluate the

234
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,720
proposal

235
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,320
based on

236
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,559
the the intended use

237
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,640
so our recommendation is to just we

238
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,720
wanted to bring this forward

239
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,360
and

240
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,080
start the discussion but we also

241
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,000
understand that more information might

242
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,390
be needed before an action is taken

243
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,360
president

244
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,440
internal discussions we thought that

245
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,520
bringing to the council

246
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,000
again for review and the council at some

247
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,760
point would have to deal with a zoning

248
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,640
change one way or the other but the

249
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,840
normal pro

250
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,600
process would the council refer to the

251
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,720
planning commission the planning

252
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,760
commission

253
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,720
reviews it sends back a recommendation

254
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,440
to

255
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,200
the council and then the council can act

256
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,559
but is in no means bound by what the

257
00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:41,360
planning commission has recommended this

258
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:43,760
was the uh his outline that there's

259
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,720
still a lot of questions about

260
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,310
this proposal

261
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,679
and

262
00:20:51,679 --> 00:20:54,159
i think probably at this point the best

263
00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:56,880
way would you work with mr coldin

264
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,400
and if you're so inclined and the rest

265
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,559
of the council selling client would be

266
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:04,159
to draft a letter or some correspondence

267
00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:06,799
with the proposed developer

268
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,440
outlining uh some of the areas where

269
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,080
we'd like more information

270
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,919
work with them to put that information

271
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:15,440
together and then to be able to come

272
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,880
back with a

273
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,360
firmer proposal and again the

274
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:20,799
first step would be

275
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:21,760
doing

276
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,640
a lead agency for seeker but that also

277
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,799
trips an eis

278
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,480
review

279
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,600
which

280
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,440
there's a lot of questions on that

281
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,720
traffic

282
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,120
uh water and sewer

283
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:37,360
uh other environmental issues that would

284
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,440
come up that are still

285
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,840
very vague in this in under the c5

286
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,520
proposal i personally feel that it opens

287
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,840
up too many options

288
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,559
that

289
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:50,320
would have negative

290
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,720
connotations

291
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,760
for

292
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840
some of the adjacent property owners in

293
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,080
that area of the city as a whole an

294
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,240
absent that being able to be narrowed

295
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,000
down into something that i think would

296
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,760
be more acceptable

297
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,440
uh i think we should just move in a

298
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,440
slower manner and a little bit more

299
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,600
cautiously approach it

300
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,120
i have to i tend to agree with that i

301
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:12,320
didn't look through all the information

302
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,159
that was sent and there is no specific

303
00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:16,080
use at this point and we actually talked

304
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,320
about this in the pmc a couple of weeks

305
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,480
ago and in order to actually move it to

306
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,520
the planning committee they need to know

307
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,280
what's being planned and that is not has

308
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,200
not been outlined in here so i would

309
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,280
have to agree that we would um to send a

310
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,880
letter to you know

311
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,880
to ask for additional information

312
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,640
um i think that would be uh we want to

313
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,720
go cautiously

314
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,320
rather than move forward in direction

315
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,559
that we then can't um you know retract

316
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:40,799
uh something and at this point in time

317
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:42,320
the neighborhood also i've heard from

318
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,000
the neighborhood that they have concerns

319
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,520
about what's going to be there so we

320
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,880
need to be able to be in a position to

321
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,960
be very specific and answering to our

322
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,880
residents to say what's going to happen

323
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,320
in that particular neighborhood and we

324
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,320
don't have that at this point in time so

325
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,320
i think we definitely should um do that

326
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,480
but i i welcome certainly uh input from

327
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,559
other council members and their views on

328
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,799
this

329
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:04,240
mr um

330
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,960
no no i i have to agree with you

331
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,280
i both uh

332
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,120
party and doing this let's hold it let's

333
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:10,880
get all information together before we

334
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,400
do anything

335
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,520
because i want to mention the

336
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,120
neighborhood and the resident needs to

337
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:15,919
know

338
00:23:15,919 --> 00:23:17,919
what is the intended use

339
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:20,240
and what is going to be placed there

340
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,919
we just can't disapprove something we

341
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:24,400
have to have a blanket uh

342
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,880
you know and then all of a sudden uh

343
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,240
things are being built there and we have

344
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,039
no say and control what is going there

345
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:32,799
so i agree with that

346
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,510
anyone else

347
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,039
so what we'll do with this agenda item

348
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:38,480
and we don't have to move anything and

349
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,840
actually the other two that come after

350
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,480
it

351
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,840
we wouldn't have to do anything we just

352
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,600
um put together the letter to send to

353
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,360
the developer asking outlining the

354
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,440
questions that we have regarding this i

355
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,799
don't know if other council members had

356
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:49,919
an opportunity to look through because

357
00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:51,360
there was a lot of information that was

358
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,279
provided but take the opportunity to

359
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:54,960
look through any questions that you want

360
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600
to have answered we can make sure we um

361
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,559
put forth in that letter so a

362
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:02,559
question just so are we going to are we

363
00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:04,880
going to i'm as put but you put that

364
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,159
letter together are we going to talk

365
00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:08,240
with the residents of the area to see if

366
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,760
they have any questions that they wanted

367
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,080
to get answered specifically from my my

368
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,720
understanding is that there is a meeting

369
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,080
with they've called the neighborhood

370
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,760
meeting on march 2nd

371
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,840
and they want questions answered which

372
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,600
we don't have answers to right now so

373
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,279
between now and then maybe we will have

374
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:24,960
answers but i still think we should you

375
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,799
know we would they would go home with

376
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:28,640
their meeting and appear invited

377
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,799
we would be there um and that's a good

378
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:32,080
actually a good point to say any

379
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,520
questions that they have maybe and we

380
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,159
can format in the letter um so now this

381
00:24:36,159 --> 00:24:37,840
is the public document um they should be

382
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,679
able to review it as well

383
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:43,679
and president mr cohen thank you um

384
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:46,159
one of the things that we had an

385
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:48,559
opportunity to speak obviously with mrs

386
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:50,480
mrofstein and other folks in development

387
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,039
as well as marion mccarthy

388
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:54,320
we really need to take a look at what

389
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,720
the most intensive use of

390
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,120
the proper with the most intensive use

391
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:01,760
under the proposed zoning change would be

392
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,480
um and see how that corresponds with you

393
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,320
know not just a comprehensive plan uh

394
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,039
that the city has but also uh as missy

395
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:10,720
mentioned um and mayor mccarthy

396
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,840
mentioned the um the environmental

397
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,120
impact um there are certain things that

398
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,279
were submitted in the application that

399
00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:18,640
you know it's obviously a really good

400
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,159
step forward in terms of what was

401
00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:21,360
submitted but there's some follow-up

402
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:25,120
that's needed as you indicated um so mr

403
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:27,440
and i we're going to

404
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,400
kind of

405
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440
chat tomorrow about recommendations for

406
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,559
the city council because the city

407
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:34,159
council at some point would act as lead

408
00:25:34,159 --> 00:25:36,000
agency

409
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,279
for

410
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,000
follow-up with the developer

411
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,029
and we did provide some of those notes

412
00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:46,400
all right well so then we'll just be

413
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,840
working with corporation capital and the

414
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,440
department of developers formulate that

415
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,750
left

416
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,520
thank you thank you very much and so

417
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,880
that means the other two items on the

418
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,880
agenda which are also related to this we

419
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,320
will not be taking any action on those

420
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,840
either

421
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,720
all right

422
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,120
okay i think i think you do have another

423
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:04,320
one thank you

424
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,120
so um so we're skipping right to

425
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:14,710
item number eight um

426
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,640
just a reminder for the public hearing

427
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,520
on the south at barrett uh

428
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,159
which will be february 14th january 14th

429
00:26:22,159 --> 00:26:24,960
yeah absolutely

430
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,520
okay and the next item is jerry barrell

431
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,640
harp funding allocation in here

432
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,480
um so we've got a rebuilding plan

433
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,720
underway for a splash pad area

434
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,480
basketball court including improvements

435
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,559
in jerry brooke park

436
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:41,279
outreach for the development of the plan

437
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,120
indicated that lighting was a priority

438
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:44,799
for area residents to increase the

439
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:46,640
visibility and safety

440
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,640
but the lighting is currently outside of

441
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,360
the budget that we have for the park so

442
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,320
we did um we did propose an application

443
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,799
as part of the arc of funding and it was

444
00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:58,640
for 120 000

445
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,799
members to install student internal

446
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,559
lighting to complement the current

447
00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:04,400
redevelopment of the park

448
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,440
um

449
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,600
so we are asking just because of the

450
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,440
timeline of the project

451
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,240
um we're kind of in the design phase now

452
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,240
and we're hoping to move to construction

453
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,279
you know by the summer um so we are we were requesting that we could

454
00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:20,640
utilize

455
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,679
um

456
00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:24,799
the funding from the american rescue

457
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:26,000
plan to

458
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,279
supplement the current grant we have to

459
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:31,440
uh to move the

460
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,039
project

461
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:33,200
all forward

462
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,240
could you tell us a little bit more

463
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,640
about the practical world and others so

464
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,000
there's going to be about four hundred

465
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,200
thousand advantages that would be

466
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,960
additional 120. correct so could you

467
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,559
just kind of give a quick overview of

468
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:43,520
what the

469
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,399
yeah so um so the park improvements it

470
00:27:46,399 --> 00:27:48,640
was initiated by a grant that was

471
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,320
proposed to the office of parks and

472
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,080
historic preservation so it's a state

473
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,440
grant that we have for 205 000

474
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,600
we also have supplemental funding which

475
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,440
we're going to put forward to accept

476
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,600
from the county for 200 000

477
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,640
um and then the lighting um is kind of

478
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,240
in addition to that

479
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,480
um so it was something that we we hoped

480
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,880
we could move forward through arpa um

481
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,640
but i know that that process is still

482
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,480
being determined um but we're just

483
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,399
bringing it forward um with the

484
00:28:16,399 --> 00:28:18,399
understanding that it's a project that's

485
00:28:18,399 --> 00:28:19,919
underway and it's something that we're

486
00:28:19,919 --> 00:28:21,679
trying to get done this year

487
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:23,520
um and so that was really where the

488
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,029
request came from

489
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:28,080
so um

490
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,559
my first concern was um my first thought

491
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:32,159
was looking at this is that we you know

492
00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:34,080
we said we're developing a plan we put

493
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,080
out applications et cetera but now we're

494
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,159
starting to spend down when at the last

495
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:40,480
meeting uh mr ferrari said we were 12

496
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,120
million at that time so i do have

497
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,320
concerns that you know that we're

498
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,520
spending down and when we get through

499
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,520
our process where we're actually

500
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,440
um going to be

501
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,880
looking at applications and funding

502
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,159
applications we're spending down

503
00:28:52,159 --> 00:28:53,919
spending out and it's less money it

504
00:28:53,919 --> 00:28:56,399
seems like most of the money is gone um

505
00:28:56,399 --> 00:28:58,720
to city projects the other question i

506
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,880
have for you actually is that um

507
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,799
so this is street lighting that we're

508
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:04,880
talking about and it's also internal to

509
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,520
the park so around the court and

510
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,039
along some of the pathways that are

511
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:11,279
internal to the park so my question

512
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,840
would be why wouldn't this um qualify

513
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,159
for smart cities since its lighting and

514
00:29:16,159 --> 00:29:17,679
part of the smart city lighting is

515
00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:20,000
putting leds around why this isn't

516
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,760
something that we could be we could out

517
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,640
um from that

518
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,600
it's we could look at that again most of

519
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,720
the one has been on actual streets

520
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,440
uh in the fixtures going

521
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,919
uh on the conversion of the coker

522
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:37,919
headlights then most of the money we've

523
00:29:37,919 --> 00:29:40,000
spent more recently

524
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:40,880
is

525
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,120
in lane fiber so that we have the

526
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,159
network to connect these devices and

527
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:47,679
sensors

528
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:51,200
so i mean there's we set aside a few

529
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,600
million so is there a 120 dollars that

530
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,760
we i know that we did part uh lights in

531
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,399
hill horse park so to me it makes sense

532
00:29:58,399 --> 00:30:00,240
if we're if we're doing

533
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,480
smart uh city lighting all over the city

534
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,679
that this is just something that just

535
00:30:03,679 --> 00:30:05,039
makes sense that we would and this is

536
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:07,520
lighting that we would be able to um use

537
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,799
those funds as opposed to um using our

538
00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:11,840
phones

539
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,720
so

540
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,559
you know that's that's my thought that

541
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:16,399
we would try to use some of that fun and

542
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:18,000
these lights that were not my

543
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,279
understanding is that they would just be

544
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,320
standard fixtures and not have any of

545
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,080
the

546
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,159
acoustic or

547
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:28,159
optical sensors

548
00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:29,760
on them

549
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,799
so

550
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:32,399
are you saying that in that case that

551
00:30:32,399 --> 00:30:34,720
funding can't be spent

552
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,320
i'd saying it can't be spent but it's

553
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,080
not under the area where we're going to

554
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,389
get the most impact out of those dollars

555
00:30:42,399 --> 00:30:44,320
but if it's possible because you know

556
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,000
again i know there's led lights that

557
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,679
have been already you know put in part

558
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,679
of the city without the analyticals as

559
00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:52,720
part of it and it just to me um makes

560
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,880
sense that we would you know use smart

561
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,760
city

562
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,679
funding for this and not continue to

563
00:30:57,679 --> 00:30:59,600
spend down on the argos so

564
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,000
all the leds that we put in

565
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,799
are part of the mesh network

566
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,200
for the national grid

567
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,720
that

568
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,480
part of the package this type of

569
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,700
lighting would not

570
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:13,519
[Music]

571
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:17,830
be part of that but

572
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,679
i'd like to know the cost differential

573
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:21,440
between having the standard kind of

574
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,799
lighting that we would be putting into

575
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:23,840
parks

576
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,120
versus the lighting that we

577
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,000
are the led sensor lighting lights that

578
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,360
we're putting in

579
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,080
i don't know if we can price these for

580
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,000
any of those fixtures

581
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,470
uh

582
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,000
you know and sometimes it has to do with

583
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,080
just i think the electrical connection

584
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,919
like to where the lighting is going

585
00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:45,519
that's what a lot of the cost tends to

586
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:46,799
be

587
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,320
you know i would say for jerry grill

588
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,840
since they're internal to the park you

589
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,679
have to get the power there

590
00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:52,720
and that's going to be some of your

591
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,399
costs and then of course the fixtures as

592
00:31:54,399 --> 00:31:55,360
well

593
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,960
but right now it's not we haven't moved

594
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,880
forward we don't have the design yet

595
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,159
because you know we're waiting to see

596
00:32:02,159 --> 00:32:03,760
where we can um

597
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,200
get the funding from but um

598
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,440
but yeah i understand that there's a

599
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,080
lot of decisions that are you know

600
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,919
in front of everyone and

601
00:32:13,919 --> 00:32:16,480
we're just trying to do our best to

602
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,159
you know pair things

603
00:32:18,159 --> 00:32:21,279
um most effectively so

604
00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:23,440
i guess i'm just trying to do you think

605
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,240
that it would be more than 120 000

606
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,559
to move from the standard lighting

607
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:31,600
to the smart cities lighting

608
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,080
i don't know i i'm not sure

609
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,559
um the estimate came from you know the

610
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:38,559
design team as like a

611
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:40,000
just a general estimate we didn't

612
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,080
anticipate we would exceed that amount

613
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,279
yeah um

614
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:45,440
but but again it's not fully designed

615
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,320
because

616
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,320
yeah so but we could that's something we

617
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,640
could we could look into and

618
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,919
you know

619
00:32:51,919 --> 00:32:54,480
see what that difference is

620
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,440
mr toro good evening thank you

621
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,240
um my concern is um you know by the time

622
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,960
we get our committee in in place um it's

623
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,760
gonna be maybe past summer i don't know

624
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,679
but it's well it's it's gonna be a

625
00:33:07,679 --> 00:33:09,600
process and here you know the kids are

626
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,039
going to be out residents are going to

627
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:12,720
be out in the park with no lighting and

628
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:13,840
it's something that needs to move

629
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,399
forward and move ahead so that that's my

630
00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:17,919
only concern

631
00:33:17,919 --> 00:33:19,840
no i i share that i just i'm just

632
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,960
talking about where the funding can come

633
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,990
from right i mean to come now right

634
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,159
yes mrs williams uh so mr can you just

635
00:33:28,159 --> 00:33:30,080
confirm was there a formal

636
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,320
request fund for this project submitted

637
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,240
prior to the end of the deadline yes

638
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,679
there was a break so i would have to

639
00:33:35,679 --> 00:33:36,960
agree with

640
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,799
council president porterfield that we've

641
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:40,880
made promises to the community that we

642
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,279
would stand up this committee and allow

643
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:44,720
them the opportunity to voice their

644
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,720
opinions regarding the expenditure of

645
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,919
this arkham money so i don't think it's

646
00:33:47,919 --> 00:33:50,480
necessarily the council saying no but

647
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640
it's just that if the city would choose

648
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,399
to move forward with this project doing

649
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:56,640
that collaboratively so i think we do

650
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,880
owe a responsibility to ensure that

651
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,519
outside of the lost revenue monies that

652
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:04,080
we put forth to the city and outside of

653
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,000
expedient purchases to support some of

654
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,720
our

655
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,919
ems services uh that we should maintain

656
00:34:09,919 --> 00:34:11,839
the bulk of that funding for them to be

657
00:34:11,839 --> 00:34:13,839
able to make the decisions that they

658
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:17,589
see best for the city

659
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:18,560
so

660
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,159
yeah i have a question so am i

661
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,079
understanding correctly that we did use

662
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:23,280
this uh

663
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,800
money for lighting in another park

664
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,919
before

665
00:34:25,919 --> 00:34:27,359
there was some smart the mayor could

666
00:34:27,359 --> 00:34:28,720
probably speak to that more about the

667
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:31,359
lighting that went into hillhurst

668
00:34:31,359 --> 00:34:33,760
sorry sure i was talking i was inquiring

669
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,399
about the money that was spent um in

670
00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:38,320
hillhurst park to do the lighting and we

671
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,240
tapped into this uh to smart cities

672
00:34:40,240 --> 00:34:42,000
money to do that

673
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,040
some of the

674
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,280
features on that are smart city lighting

675
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,839
the other ones are put in by national

676
00:34:47,839 --> 00:34:48,800
grid

677
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,440
under the rev demonstration project

678
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,440
the replacement of the

679
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:00,390
cobra light fixtures that were there

680
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,560
mr palmini yeah i think it's time to

681
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,160
move forward with this we've heard from

682
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,079
years from residents that live in the

683
00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:09,520
area that the lighting is a concern

684
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,320
delaying it doesn't help anything

685
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,440
um

686
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,520
it'll be delayed at least a month if not

687
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,560
two

688
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,920
more likely closer to two

689
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,599
and residents

690
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:23,599
that live in that area

691
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:24,560
are

692
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,560
by far

693
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,839
very well

694
00:35:27,839 --> 00:35:30,240
in favor of the lights so i think it's

695
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:33,280
time to move forward get the lights done

696
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,520
that way we're not encroaching too far

697
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,640
in the summer

698
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,880
and then the safety issue

699
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,160
hopefully

700
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,599
gets taken care of and it also becomes a

701
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:45,920
better environment for the kids that are

702
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,200
using it

703
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,960
we talk about investing in our neighborhoods and our parks all

704
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,960
the time investing our youth

705
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,760
this is an opportunity we're talking 120

706
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,800
000

707
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,359
we've heard about this issue for years

708
00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:04,390
let's move forward

709
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,119
oh sure so so what are we saying due to

710
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:08,320
because we're still in the process of

711
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,480
kind of putting together um

712
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,040
the committees around our money

713
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,240
would it be

714
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:15,760
it you know it doesn't seem like that

715
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,400
using the smart city money uh would

716
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,680
allow us to

717
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,280
you know expedite the process and get it

718
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,480
done faster

719
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,640
is that what we're saying well the smart

720
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,440
city money is there already there so no

721
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,040
if we do we have to redesign the

722
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,560
lighting yeah we'd have to have

723
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,720
different lights like the reason why i

724
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:35,200
brought the request i'm sorry i totally

725
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,960
respect and understand the process

726
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,440
that's underway you know for the the

727
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,200
reason i brought the request forward was

728
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,480
just because

729
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,400
um i know this is a you know it's a

730
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,640
project that has a lot of support and

731
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,320
we're just trying to fill in the gaps

732
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,520
that we have in the funding we don't

733
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,359
want to have to value engineer you know

734
00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:53,440
things out and that was really what was

735
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,200
behind it but like i said i do

736
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,720
understand that you have a process that

737
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:58,320
you're trying to

738
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,920
you know and trying to look at the

739
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,240
different funding sources um it's just

740
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:03,760
this particular project is kind of

741
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,079
underway right now um so that's why we

742
00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:10,870
brought it forward

743
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,640
around getting this done so my question

744
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,480
is more like okay if there's a pot of

745
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,839
money that is existing that we could

746
00:37:15,839 --> 00:37:17,520
type in to do it and get it done and it

747
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,000
won't um compromise the integrity of the

748
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,640
our process is is that kind of a win-win

749
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,320
so i'm trying to get feet up and down

750
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,400
please

751
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,079
is all that

752
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:31,680
money allocated

753
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,370
for

754
00:37:32,370 --> 00:37:34,400
[Music]

755
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,359
i'm not

756
00:37:35,359 --> 00:37:36,800
sure just what

757
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,960
is left in terms of what we've

758
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,280
committed for laying the fiber and other

759
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,200
components

760
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,240
we can

761
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,680
review that and give you a number

762
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,800
tomorrow

763
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,680
well um so for me i wouldn't want to

764
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,440
move the sport until we knew that i just

765
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,200
i feel very strongly that we should try

766
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,720
to use it um so if it needs more of a

767
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,640
breakdown and we talk about the design

768
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,480
and all that all that information is

769
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,920
important to me

770
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,839
and it's equally important too that as

771
00:38:03,839 --> 00:38:05,280
you said something was done in hillhurst

772
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,960
and why we can't do something similar in

773
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,960
jerry burrell or around jerry burrell i

774
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,640
need a lot of clarity around why we

775
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,640
can't use smart city funding for

776
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,040
lighting when that's what it's for so

777
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,880
um and you know i appreciate what you're

778
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,400
trying to do moving forward and all of

779
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,640
that the lights and jerry burrell

780
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,680
were cobrahead fixtures

781
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:29,430
that we paid a fixture charge for

782
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,680
part of the rep demonstration project

783
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,480
was all those cobrahead lights in the

784
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,720
city have been replaced with led

785
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,760
fixtures so those were ones in

786
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,200
jerry burrell park and they were

787
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,160
replaced just the same way we placed the

788
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,040
ones out on the streets

789
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,630
and when were they replaced

790
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,640
i think you were at the press conference

791
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,430
when they

792
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,480
don't remember the day but that was

793
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,480
the crew went up and took the fixture

794
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,160
down and

795
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,760
replaced it

796
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,359
that was still first

797
00:39:05,359 --> 00:39:06,800
yeah i was there for that for hillary

798
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,589
clinton

799
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,480
these are the ones on the street

800
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,800
right are replaced these are ones that

801
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,480
will be in the park

802
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,920
and they're going to be more of a

803
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,440
decorative feature

804
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,710
than

805
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,040
the overhead cobra lights well this says

806
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,640
street lighting and internal lighting

807
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,400
actually so

808
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,800
the um i don't i don't know what the

809
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,800
final design or the scope is where

810
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,320
though yeah i think

811
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,599
we're going to take the opportunity to

812
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:37,200
look at what's existing

813
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,119
look at what's needed internal to the

814
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:41,359
park and if there is any additional you

815
00:39:41,359 --> 00:39:43,119
know street lighting that

816
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,440
is needed in the design that we would we

817
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,119
would include those but again it was it

818
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:49,520
was a preliminary thing i think um the

819
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,760
design console

820
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,720
said a estimate of nine new fixtures you

821
00:39:54,720 --> 00:39:55,520
know

822
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,280
but but again we'd have to really look

823
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,359
at what's there and that would be part

824
00:39:59,359 --> 00:40:01,839
of the you know the review so it really

825
00:40:01,839 --> 00:40:04,000
was an estimate um

826
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:04,960
based on

827
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,040
a projected need but still have to do

828
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,720
some more to figure out what exactly is

829
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:11,829
needed

830
00:40:11,839 --> 00:40:14,480
anybody so i i would like to actually

831
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,680
see the design i know that we're doing

832
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,880
other things there and i've been part of

833
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,400
those meetings and i respect the fact

834
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,240
that you know the community that i

835
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:21,760
happen to live in that community so all

836
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,599
that's fine i just want to make sure

837
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:25,760
that we do two things that we make sure

838
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,000
that how much what exactly that we need

839
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,680
first and foremost and then secondly if

840
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,839
we could find funding even if it's not

841
00:40:31,839 --> 00:40:34,079
all from these smart cities that we can

842
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:35,760
see if there's other ways to fund it so

843
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,480
that we're trying to keep as much money

844
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,200
in the arpa funds as possible

845
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,680
so yes ms patrick well i do have a

846
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,920
concern that if we wait first of all you

847
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,280
brought it to us tonight there must have

848
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,720
been a reason that you thought that we

849
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,160
needed an insurgency in terms of the

850
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,720
rest of the splat i mean having looked

851
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,440
at the park extensively last summer

852
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,000
clearly the splash park had i mean this

853
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
stuff needs to be fixed for these kids

854
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,040
it's it's it's you know i was over there

855
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,040
when there was a camping session and it

856
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,040
was kind of like what are we doing like

857
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,480
we shouldn't even be

858
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,160
letting the kids

859
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,920
you know we're giving them like not a

860
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,400
good situation here so let's upgrade the

861
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,680
park so

862
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,280
are you saying you're coming here

863
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,119
tonight

864
00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:20,480
instead of waiting

865
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,480
does that affect the rest of the project

866
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,599
which i thought was almost close to

867
00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:27,920
trying to um you know get the splash pad

868
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,079
get the other stuff done it's just that

869
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:32,000
originally the lighting it wasn't part

870
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,119
of the scope of work because we didn't

871
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:34,880
have the funding to do it that was the

872
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,480
reason why we put in the request for our

873
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,480
because we said hey maybe we can you

874
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,640
know get some of this funding to add

875
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:41,520
this

876
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,280
amenity you know which is we know is

877
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,720
needed um and and so that that's really

878
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,800
you know um the reason for bringing it

879
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,000
forward tonight is just because the

880
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,640
design is underway and if you know i

881
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,000
know with orchard park when we ordered

882
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,440
the lights it was like a three-month run

883
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,359
time exactly so that was really just

884
00:41:57,359 --> 00:41:59,280
where it was coming from um

885
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,520
not trying to undermine the the article

886
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,680
process but just trying to say we

887
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,520
feel that this is a community-supported

888
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,480
project

889
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,720
right exactly it definitely is a

890
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,400
community supporting project and we've

891
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,960
heard that loud and clear and i think if

892
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,160
we wait

893
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,520
we could run into a situation where

894
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,599
um

895
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:21,359
if it goes you know we want to make sure

896
00:42:21,359 --> 00:42:23,760
that the park is safe especially come

897
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,560
summer when children will be

898
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,839
i shouldn't just say children i mean

899
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:29,520
obviously the basketball courts etc i

900
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,839
mean that's not just kids but we need we

901
00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:34,160
need that safety factor of the lights

902
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,200
don't forget that if we if we hold it

903
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,720
what happens if it doesn't get approved

904
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:41,200
during the opera process

905
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,119
which is also a risk well

906
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:44,800
i like that we know that the community

907
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,560
wants the lights in the park i mean i

908
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,280
think

909
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,680
we're doing involved with all of us

910
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:50,560
so

911
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,720
but let me just let me just say that um

912
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:54,640
the project is not as close as you're

913
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,720
indicating it's not and we started with

914
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,800
a splash pad a couple of years ago

915
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,880
things happen and actually some of the funding that was for that splash pad

916
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,400
then got moved someplace else so there

917
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,040
was so that happened as well so that's

918
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,880
part of the reason we have a deficit

919
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,240
right now because the the project just

920
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:12,400
to move forward as quickly as it um

921
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,040
wanted to and so my understanding is

922
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,079
that design

923
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:18,079
as miss diaz just said the design is not

924
00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:19,440
even done for the legs it wasn't

925
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,680
originally a part of it so it's not as

926
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,400
close as that and we're all concerned

927
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,800
about safety i understand that but i

928
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,960
just wanted to to refocus this to say

929
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,880
yes we want the lights is there other

930
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,640
ways we can help fund this as well so we

931
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,960
can maintain as much arpa funding as

932
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,200
possible that's really

933
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,960
not denying about the safety or any of

934
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,800
that but can we talk about some other

935
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,319
ways to try to get some funding look at

936
00:43:42,319 --> 00:43:44,240
the design what does it mean how much if

937
00:43:44,240 --> 00:43:46,720
any of it at all can be used um from

938
00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:48,480
smart city money anyway

939
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,119
and maybe it wouldn't be as much so

940
00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:54,560
um and for i'm sorry mr mr farley had

941
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,160
your hand up yeah and i'm just i'm just

942
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,200
wondering if i'm asking the same

943
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,720
question a different way here

944
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:02,160
so so um so are we saying that um the

945
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,880
possibility of using smart city money

946
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,440
will delay the process or why would that

947
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,200
make it longer wouldn't that make it

948
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,040
faster no no

949
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,640
i think miss patrick is saying that we

950
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,240
need to do this right now otherwise that

951
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:15,839
will delay the project and that means

952
00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:17,599
using the ark of funding

953
00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:20,240
but we could potentially use another

954
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:22,560
source of funding well mr mayor mr

955
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,560
ferrari have said that we we have to

956
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,720
look and see what's left so

957
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:29,119
we just need to find out if what what

958
00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:31,280
we're proposing um falls in the

959
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:40,870
parameters of smart city and if so then we can move and how much we can

960
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,880
that's what i that's what i see how long

961
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,319
i mean where are we with the design

962
00:44:44,319 --> 00:44:45,280
phase

963
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,319
well they're moving into like

964
00:44:46,319 --> 00:44:48,160
construction documents and i've said

965
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:48,880
like

966
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,200
even though i was very clear we're not

967
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,760
we can't confirm the money for the

968
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,040
lighting but we are going to have it

969
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,319
designed

970
00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:57,839
either way because eventually we want to

971
00:44:57,839 --> 00:45:00,079
get the lighting funded and we just

972
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:01,680
you know

973
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,240
with lead times and everything just we

974
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:05,920
hope to do it with everything else but

975
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,440
right and it makes sense to do it with

976
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,520
everything else um so where are we with

977
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,599
the design so would we know in two weeks

978
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,280
would you be able to tell us where we

979
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,800
are

980
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,560
not you as a designer would that be

981
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:17,920
ready if we came back into which he said

982
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,760
okay here's the design this is exactly

983
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,359
what we need for smart this is exactly

984
00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:23,680
how much lighting i'm not okay i'm not

985
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,760
i'd have to confirm with the consultant

986
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,920
on it might not i could probably get

987
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,520
more information than what i have now

988
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,040
around a clear

989
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,880
scope of what the lighting would be but

990
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,000
in two weeks

991
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:34,800
yeah

992
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,160
that's that'll i would like to move

993
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,839
forward on this

994
00:45:37,839 --> 00:45:40,160
um for us to get that information but um

995
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,829
we have two other committee members so

996
00:45:43,839 --> 00:45:45,359
your input part of me because i have a

997
00:45:45,359 --> 00:45:46,560
little power

998
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,119
i said my design my goal is just to to

999
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:50,560
hold on to this to get the information

1000
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,319
come back in two weeks before we move

1001
00:45:52,319 --> 00:45:53,520
forward

1002
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,800
to see if we can get some funding from

1003
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,839
smart cities to uh you know to help with

1004
00:45:57,839 --> 00:45:59,440
this particular thing and not use as

1005
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,630
much art for funding

1006
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,240
yeah i'm going to agree i have to agree

1007
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:05,710
with that

1008
00:46:05,710 --> 00:46:07,119

other things

1014
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,960
that we may have that the council may

um to the mayor and mayor i would ask

1021
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,359
that if we could just look at if there's

1022
00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:30,880
any funding at all that we could use

1023
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,560
towards smart cities to supplement this and meet somewhere in

1024
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,550
the middle on that

1025
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:39,920
all right thank you we'll see you two

1026
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,829
weeks i think

1027
00:46:43,839 --> 00:46:45,440
all right

1028
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,520
okay the rest of the items on the agenda

1029
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,119
are for um

1030
00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:51,119
executive inspection so i need a motion

1031
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:52,319
to reset

1032
00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:54,880
so second all those in favor all right

1033
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,430
we're

1034
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,520
finance committee the first item is

1035
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,520
accept 200 000 in funding from the

1036
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,680
disconnected from schenectady country

1037
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,839
for jerry carrell arc improvement

1038
00:47:08,839 --> 00:47:11,359
mr um this is kind of what i i mentioned

1039
00:47:11,359 --> 00:47:13,359
the connectivity county legislature has

1040
00:47:13,359 --> 00:47:15,040
authorized two hundred thousand funding

1041
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,640
to be allocated through the improvements

1042
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,960
to jerry brown park um this complements

1043
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:20,319
the funding that we have through the

1044
00:47:20,319 --> 00:47:23,440
states of 205-417

1045
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,359
so this is just a resolution from the

1046
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:27,280
city council authorizing the acceptance

1047
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,800
of the funds and the amount not to

1048
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,559
exceed 200 000

1049
00:47:30,559 --> 00:47:32,480
um in authorization of the mayor and

1050
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,710
order doesn't need to enter an agreement

1051
00:47:36,720 --> 00:47:39,760
any questions concerns

1052
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,160
may have a motion

1053
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,200
one second

1054
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,760
all in favor

1055
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,359
the next item is 2022 hot emergency

1056
00:47:49,359 --> 00:47:53,310
solution grant

1057
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:59,190
[Music]

1058
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,359
and it's a request from bethesda house

1059
00:48:01,359 --> 00:48:02,240
to

1060
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:03,520
um

1061
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:04,559
to

1062
00:48:04,559 --> 00:48:07,280
remove rapid re-housing program funds of

1063
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,960
19 216 to the homeless prevention

1064
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,079
program

1065
00:48:12,079 --> 00:48:14,400
um so we're requesting this contract

1066
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,400
amendment and authorizing the mayor or

1067
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,559
as doesn't need to effectuate this with

1068
00:48:18,559 --> 00:48:27,510
bethesda

1069
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,200
the next item is calling for public

1070
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,400
hearing to amend the 20 21 22 annual

1071
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,910
action plan is yes

1072
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,280
so um here we have we're requesting the

1073
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,400
reallocation of some unexpended cdbg

1074
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,640
funds that we had in the 21

1075
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,760
2021 to 2022 annual action plans in the

1076
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,680
public works category

1077
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,960
so we're looking to reallocate 250 000

1078
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,800
which will require a substantial

1079
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,359
amendment to the annual action plan and

1080
00:48:57,359 --> 00:49:00,240
a 30-day comment public comment period

1081
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:02,720
and public hearings

1082
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:05,119
so we're looking to use these funds for

1083
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:07,040
city park improvements

1084
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,520
and this would include

1085
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,079
um but we don't want to build it to

1086
00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:13,599
the current plans being developed for

1087
00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:16,079
jerry bell park

1088
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:17,599
and also

1089
00:49:17,599 --> 00:49:19,119
the fitness

1090
00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:21,119
facility that's proposed for orchard

1091
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:22,480
park that's through

1092
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,119
a grant with mvp healthcare

1093
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:27,440
so we would like to

1094
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,040
hold a public hearing

1095
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,079
on the february 28th to amend the action

1096
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:33,280
plan and

1097
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,309
also

1098
00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:39,760
basically just reallocate this 250 000

1099
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,319
of unexpended funds to city park

1100
00:49:42,319 --> 00:49:45,040
improvements

1101
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,960
any questions let's support a field i

1102
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,880
have a question so um i noticed that you

1103
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,880
did say jerry berlin in another part so

1104
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,119
and over 250 thousand dollars do you

1105
00:49:53,119 --> 00:49:54,720
have any idea how much you would want to

1106
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:56,839
allocate to your car i just don't

1107
00:49:56,839 --> 00:50:00,960
understand at all so um

1108
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,559
i believe in

1109
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:06,150
americans i think

1110
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,760
we know that there's a lot of work

1111
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,920
that's needed you know in the parks and

1112
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,079
essentially we had some unexpended funds

1113
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:14,160
through delayed projects and the snap

1114
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,640
program which there weren't foreclosures

1115
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,000
i understand that i just want to know

1116
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,319
between the 250 do you know how much you

1117
00:50:20,319 --> 00:50:22,160
have you have you had talked about how

1118
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,440
much would go to this part how much

1119
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:24,559
would build another right that was my

1120
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:26,800
question so i believe the fitness court

1121
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:31,040
is 115. the correct mvp is 50 000.

1122
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,480
this court and the local match is

1123
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,440
approximately 115.

1124
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,160
50 000 from the nbp is the grant and the

1125
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,680
local match

1126
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,559
is approximately 115. does that include

1127
00:50:42,559 --> 00:50:45,839
pouring the slab

1128
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:52,870
i don't that does include pouring inside

1129
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,960
and that's for mvp okay all right so i

1130
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,160
have the answer

1131
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,599
thank you

1132
00:50:57,599 --> 00:51:00,079
for um that is in and that's for the

1133
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:03,119
fitness for the fitness okay go ahead

1134
00:51:03,119 --> 00:51:04,640
all right thank you

1135
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,720
and we still have it just so you know we

1136
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:08,880
still have a deficit in the in the

1137
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,400
jerry's world budget

1138
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,400
that is aside from the lighting that we

1139
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,760
would intend to um use the cdbg funding

1140
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:16,559
for

1141
00:51:16,559 --> 00:51:18,480
um so it's it's

1142
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:19,599
if um

1143
00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:21,280
you know because i'll just say

1144
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,119
originally i thought maybe we could just

1145
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:25,760
use the cdbg from the lighting but then

1146
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:27,200
the project would still

1147
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,349
fall short in some other areas

1148
00:51:31,359 --> 00:51:34,800
and the other aspect of that is

1149
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,359
just construction costs have been

1150
00:51:37,359 --> 00:51:38,880
incrementing up so some of the

1151
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,960
assumptions and these numbers were made

1152
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,559
a couple of years ago

1153
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:44,800
in the reality when they go up

1154
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,280
for actual bids now they're coming in

1155
00:51:47,280 --> 00:52:02,870
higher than what we hoped

1156
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:09,190
all

1157
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,520

00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,760

cost of fica and medicare and pension

1207
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,280

00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,119
total cost uh if you see through with

1209
00:54:09,119 --> 00:54:10,400

and uh uh because uh we're using pension

1213
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,000
uh money so we're going to ask to be uh

1214
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,000
reappropriated using the general fund

1215
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,220

health and recreation um we have just

1223
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,200
one item on the agenda and that is a

1224
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,319
ceremony ceremonial resolution um and so

1225
00:54:50,319 --> 00:54:52,720
i'll turn the floor over to missport

1226
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:54,960
so february is american heart month and

1227
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:55,680
so

1228
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,760
um you know we often do ceremony

1229
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,359
resolutions to bring attention to

1230
00:54:59,359 --> 00:55:02,160
certain diseases or someone special did

1231
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,000
something so i think it's important that

1232
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,680
we do this and you know heart health is

1233
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,200
something that um

1234
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,599
many americans like as one out of four

1235
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:11,760
um don't even know they haven't one of

1236
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,119
four deaths in the american united

1237
00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:14,799
states because so i think it's an

1238
00:55:14,799 --> 00:55:17,359
opportunity to bring this forward and

1239
00:55:17,359 --> 00:55:20,400
also to um also women

1240
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,640
suffer from heart disease more so than

1241
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:23,359
men

1242
00:55:23,359 --> 00:55:25,119
so i think it's important that we just

1243
00:55:25,119 --> 00:55:26,559
bring it forward and talk about

1244
00:55:26,559 --> 00:55:27,920
examining our health habits and so i

1245
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,079
just would like to have a ceremony

1246
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:32,319
resolution presented to that

1247
00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:54,230

1281
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,200
for this is a review of the

1282

original confined uh

1283
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,400
security policy that was passed back in

2020

1285
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,680
and with the understanding that we will

1286
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,359
review that from time to time and

1287
00:57:13,359 --> 00:57:14,400
modified

1288
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,359
not created as necessary this request

1289
00:57:17,359 --> 00:57:19,760
here we're asking to

1290
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,200
raise the uh mwe uh

1291
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,599
compliance on contracting uh

1292
00:57:25,599 --> 00:57:27,200
opportunities over a hundred thousand

1293
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,160
from

1294
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,200
eleven point five percent uh mvp and

1295
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,920
eleven point five percent wb up to

1296
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,000
fifteen percent east a total of thirty

1297
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,240
percent which is in line with the system

1298
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:50,789
that was the state

1299
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:52,640
which was consistent with the

1300
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,799
modification of keeping that alignment

1301
00:57:54,799 --> 00:57:57,200
will be going from

1302
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,839
seven percent but nbe which is the work

1303
00:57:59,839 --> 00:58:04,000
for 12 percent but nbe and

1304
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,400
women was bringing the workforce goals

1305
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:12,040
and getting to

1306
00:58:12,050 --> 00:58:21,109
[Music]

1307
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:22,799
elaborate on section three public works

1308
00:58:22,799 --> 00:58:24,799
uh construction contract exceeding three

1309
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:26,079
hundred thousand that's what we're

1310
00:58:26,079 --> 00:58:28,160
proposing

1311
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,680
okay so again back in 2020 we talked

1312
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,349
about the cap on

1313
00:58:35,359 --> 00:58:38,480
justin's project having uh kept a

1314
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,079
minimum of

1315
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:43,760
250 thousand dollars today on the uh any

1316
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,640
public works project within the city

1317
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:56,090
and we're asking to raise that to 300

1318
00:58:56,100 --> 00:59:01,910
[Music]

1319
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,920
so what is the benefits the city will

1320
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,720
receive by doing that you would expand

1321
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,559
the crew so you have more smaller firms

1322
00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:10,240
opportunity to bid

1323
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:21,030
on public work projects

1324
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,440
um so this is different from what we

1325
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:24,720
approved in

1326
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,640
2020 i thought that when we talked about

1327
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,799
it a couple of weeks ago we were pretty

1328
00:59:28,799 --> 00:59:30,400
much just trying to make sure that the

1329
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,520
policy

1330
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,119
that we were seeing

1331
00:59:33,119 --> 00:59:35,599
reflected what we had agreed on

1332
00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:37,200
in 2020 but

1333
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,119
now we're changing this is actually to

1334
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:41,440
change the 2020 policy

1335
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,040
that's okay i guess i thought we were

1336
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,960
doing something different

1337
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,880
no at the end of that conversation

1338
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,559
awesome

1339
00:59:48,559 --> 00:59:51,680
and then that actually we said and you

1340
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:52,960
were in agreement that we should look at

1341
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,280
how the mwbe was a part of it because it

1342
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:56,720
wasn't there before

1343
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,319
we did have that conversation when we

1344
00:59:58,319 --> 00:59:59,760
discussed this four weeks ago when we

1345
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,119
weren't ready to come back in two weeks

1346
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:02,960
we didn't have the information okay i

1347
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,280
guess i thought that we discussed making

1348
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,520
sure that what we were doing was in line

1349
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,599
with what we had done all that work on

1350
01:00:09,599 --> 01:00:11,760
in 2020 yes you're correct

1351
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,079
we review the documents and we bring it

1352
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:16,480
up to date and today's uh whatever is

1353
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,440
out there

1354
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,640
10 000. i'm moving the mwbe

1355
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:21,760
um

1356
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,960
11.5 so 50 50

1357
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,760
on the work force gold

1358
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,319
to 20 those are the only changes to this

1359
01:00:30,319 --> 01:00:32,960
mwb document that we have looked at two

1360
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,119
years ago and those were changes going

1361
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:36,240
into the

1362
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,430
this year

1363
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,200
that we're

1364
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,680
do you have any proposing with the um oh

1365
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,030
something like me

1366
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,480
ms patrick did you have concerns about

1367
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,079
them no it's just not what i thought we

1368
01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:51,839
were discussing tonight i thought we

1369
01:00:51,839 --> 01:00:52,559
were

1370
01:00:52,559 --> 01:00:54,319
i i thought we were discussing something

1371
01:00:54,319 --> 01:00:57,599
different so

1372
01:00:57,599 --> 01:00:59,760
i trust mr garden

1373
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,430
recommendation

1374
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:14,789
as he knows

1375
01:01:14,799 --> 01:01:16,559
in 2020 when it was adopted the last

1376
01:01:16,559 --> 01:01:19,200
time by resolution um there were two

1377
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,119
separate resolutions right there was one

1378
01:01:21,119 --> 01:01:23,440
for the purchasing policy and then uh

1379
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,440
essentially like a lack of better word a

1380
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,920
sister resolution approving

1381
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,670
the mwb policy

1382
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:32,720
you know it's obviously up to the

1383
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,319
council i see them as being two separate

1384
01:01:34,319 --> 01:01:35,520
policies because it gives more

1385
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,000
flexibility because the mwb policy may

1386
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,440
be one that you

1387
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:40,480
um

1388
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,520
you go back to in 2023 presumably maybe

1389
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,520
to to reevaluate

1390
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,119
the purchasing policy is one that is

1391
01:01:47,119 --> 01:01:48,720
good for two years

1392
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,720
so if the council is going to entertain

1393
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,359
a resolution or entertain a legislative

1394
01:01:53,359 --> 01:01:56,240
request to pass a resolution i would

1395
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,119
do it

1396
01:01:57,119 --> 01:01:59,680
two separate alleged requests and two

1397
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,630
separate resolutions

1398
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,319
we had we had two set of documents the

1399
01:02:04,319 --> 01:02:06,400
last time was the section three policy

1400
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,079
at the end of the year was that combines

1401
01:02:08,079 --> 01:02:11,039
one sister resolution i didn't

1402
01:02:11,039 --> 01:02:13,119
i don't well as far as i know there's

1403
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:15,839
only one in terms of the energy and mwb

1404
01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:17,599
and workforce goals here

1405
01:02:17,599 --> 01:02:19,280
um is there a separate

1406
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:20,480
document

1407
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,079
outside of that here yeah there was a

1408
01:02:22,079 --> 01:02:24,240
section no no but in terms of what's

1409
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,680
being presented today

1410
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,280
right so yes

1411
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,760
that's what i'd say right so you know my

1412
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,079
recommendation would be um if you're

1413
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:34,319
going to do it pass one for a

1414
01:02:34,319 --> 01:02:36,640
legislative request item for

1415
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,119
the purchasing policy and the separate

1416
01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:41,920
one for the 2022 mwb work and workforce

1417
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:45,109
goals okay

1418
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:46,960
so to follow up on them

1419
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:48,720
that so when we talked to the last time

1420
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,039
was we you can mention the fact that

1421
01:02:51,039 --> 01:02:53,599
there's a footnote about mwbe and we'll

1422
01:02:53,599 --> 01:02:55,920
talk about actually putting the whatever

1423
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,599
that footnote refers to at least some

1424
01:02:57,599 --> 01:02:59,839
specific language that says do this as

1425
01:02:59,839 --> 01:03:02,240
opposed to uh counting on someone to

1426
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,799
look at the footnote and then do it

1427
01:03:04,799 --> 01:03:06,319
do you not use it

1428
01:03:06,319 --> 01:03:08,480
well at the end right no and i

1429
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,520
understand that um obviously the mwb

1430
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,039
workforce goals are just that their

1431
01:03:13,039 --> 01:03:13,920
goals

1432
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,240
right whereas the change to um

1433
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,200
increasing the uh public works contracts

1434
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,599
to 300 000 is you know that's that's

1435
01:03:21,599 --> 01:03:22,960
firm

1436
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,359
so i see it you know one is something we

1437
01:03:25,359 --> 01:03:27,760
aspire to do and the other is

1438
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,000
a hard number that is going to be in the

1439
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,240
purchasing policy and sure we do refer

1440
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:33,119
to the

1441
01:03:33,119 --> 01:03:37,920
mwb uh and work and workforce uh

1442
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:38,880
goals

1443
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,880
um in the but again that's up to the

1444
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,240
council

1445
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,440
you know i'm just making my

1446
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:49,280
recommendation because these are for 20 20 excuse me for 2022 whereas the

1447
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:55,430
purchasing policy is a two-year policy

1448
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,440
you brought the discussion on i do have

1449
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,000
another question so

1450
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:00,880
um

1451
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,200
the other um part of it so anything that

1452
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,440
um is under

1453
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,039
what is the level of contracts that you

1454
01:04:07,039 --> 01:04:10,559
save so it's 35 000 under this are those

1455
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:13,839
goals apply to that

1456
01:04:13,839 --> 01:04:16,160
so all right so um the other thing that

1457
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,359
uh

1458
01:04:17,359 --> 01:04:18,960
that i think is important that so that

1459
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,559
we're trying to meet our goals if we

1460
01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:23,200
include those contracts as well i think

1461
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:24,880
would be beneficial are you part of

1462
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,480
those discussions now if it's under that

1463
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,319
amount or is it a hundred thousand over

1464
01:04:28,319 --> 01:04:29,119
right

1465
01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:31,280
so that might be helpful in us returning

1466
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:32,640
our goals if we look at the contracts

1467
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,000
that are under um

1468
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,480
35 000 because maybe we're meeting them

1469
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,160
and we just it's just because it's not

1470
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,119
calculated in that we would um be able

1471
01:04:41,119 --> 01:04:42,960
to meet those goals so i would like to

1472
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,559
be able to see those contacts as well

1473
01:04:44,559 --> 01:04:46,480
that's something that mr gardner would

1474
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:47,359
have

1475
01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:50,960
input in to make sure he helps to

1476
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,359
identify mwbes

1477
01:04:53,359 --> 01:04:54,880
so that they could you know avail

1478
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,319
themselves to those opportunities as

1479
01:04:56,319 --> 01:04:59,829
well

1480
01:04:59,839 --> 01:05:02,240
i have a question so how did we is that

1481
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,079
like kind of like this

1482
01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:05,520
how do we reach that threshold for a

1483
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:09,200
hundred thousand four

1484
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:13,599
how do we get to that threshold to decide you know what

1485
01:05:13,599 --> 01:05:16,400
comes before you and what does

1486
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,799
that thing come out on the

1487
01:05:18,799 --> 01:05:21,119
worst contract yes so episodes we're

1488
01:05:21,119 --> 01:05:23,039
talking about um you know you're saying

1489
01:05:23,039 --> 01:05:24,640
that there's some unconscious that

1490
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,480
because they don't rise to a certain

1491
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:27,920
level they don't they don't come before

1492
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:29,680
you correct

1493
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:35,200
and and that that threshold was what they'll be like purchasing uh

1494
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,920
you know contact somebody doing um

1495
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,680
you know snokeline for example or

1496
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,440
repairing the windows you know things

1497
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,359
like that okay and

1498
01:05:43,359 --> 01:05:45,200
you're suggesting um

1499
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,440
that all those all contracts um go

1500
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,799
through ron's office for to see if we

1501
01:05:50,799 --> 01:05:54,000
could help meet our wp eagles

1502
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:54,880
and

1503
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,000
the other

1504
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,839
thing i'd like to see is this also only

1505
01:05:57,839 --> 01:05:59,680
talks about this

1506
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,520
in the um procurement process it always

1507
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,200
talks about goods

1508
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,359
um it's whatever is

1509
01:06:05,359 --> 01:06:07,920
so i would like to see services as well

1510
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,079
um be a part of that yes

1511
01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:12,160
yeah services are there services at

1512
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,000
first or part of our computer policy

1513
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,200
yeah

1514
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:16,160
i'm gonna have to read through that

1515
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:17,760
again i didn't see that so i wanted to

1516
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:19,440
make sure that services with goods and

1517
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,280
services and that just says

1518
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:26,870
okay

1519
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,559
so just just follow up make sure that

1520
01:06:28,559 --> 01:06:30,480
you're safe here so mid sports are you

1521
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,119
asking that instead of having a footnote

1522
01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:35,920
let us insert

1523
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,880
that section into the policy so

1524
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,960
whatever that footnote refers to and i'm

1525
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,960
not talking about have it extensive but

1526
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:44,559
so that people are as they're reading

1527
01:06:44,559 --> 01:06:46,319
through they're not overlooking it and

1528
01:06:46,319 --> 01:06:48,240
just passing on that you know just make

1529
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,839
it clear that mwp mwde participation is

1530
01:06:51,839 --> 01:06:52,880
something

1531
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,559
you know that that they need to consider

1532
01:06:54,559 --> 01:06:56,480
when we're talking about um preparing

1533
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,260
for the city

1534
01:06:58,260 --> 01:07:01,670
[Music]

1535
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,680
i i i um

1536
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,440
i don't want to draft something that is

1537
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,280
not the council's intention obviously if

1538
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:08,559
you were to pass

1539
01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:10,559
you know the legislative request um i

1540
01:07:10,559 --> 01:07:12,720
don't know if this language that um

1541
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,559
you know

1542
01:07:14,559 --> 01:07:16,720
in preparing a resolution i'd like to

1543
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:18,799
you know ideally to be language that

1544
01:07:18,799 --> 01:07:20,400
reflects accurately what the city

1545
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,559
council or the committee passes tonight

1546
01:07:22,559 --> 01:07:24,960
if it doesn't in fact pass anything

1547
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,680
um so i i don't want to misrepresent

1548
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,200
what is actually passed if something

1549
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:34,390
does pass

1550
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:39,670
any other questions around this

1551
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:50,230
that's cool you had a request

1552
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,480
is not in and i just want to

1553
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,799
just so you know the um i at the last

1554
01:07:54,799 --> 01:07:56,079
meeting i asked what i asked for again

1555
01:07:56,079 --> 01:07:58,240
today just so we could see

1556
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,119
the um contracts that had been um

1557
01:08:01,119 --> 01:08:03,039
had been left in the past i think it was

1558
01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:05,039
18 months just so we can see if we were

1559
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:07,119
even hitting the goals even

1560
01:08:07,119 --> 01:08:08,880
unintentionally and there was things

1561
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,760
under 35 000 but um there i wasn't you

1562
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,200
know i haven't gotten those at this

1563
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:14,640
point in time

1564
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,719
because ultimately if we can do it by

1565
01:08:16,719 --> 01:08:18,480
using it over all the contracts that we

1566
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:19,920
did that would just be

1567
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,400
in my mind better for the city to see

1568
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:29,749
that we're reaching those goals

1569
01:08:29,759 --> 01:08:31,359
any further questions or discussions

1570
01:08:31,359 --> 01:08:33,839
around them

1571
01:08:33,839 --> 01:08:35,920
so are you looking at us moving power in

1572
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,040
terms but

1573
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,279
or do you want to hold off and catch her

1574
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:40,880
well i'd like to be able to see that

1575
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,279
documentation first um just to see where

1576
01:08:43,279 --> 01:08:44,640
we are with that

1577
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,799
um

1578
01:08:46,799 --> 01:08:48,080
and i don't know if we can do that

1579
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,239
between now and then and i mean i guess

1580
01:08:50,239 --> 01:08:51,839
my bigger question is is that something

1581
01:08:51,839 --> 01:08:54,799
we're willing to consider that mr um mr

1582
01:08:54,799 --> 01:08:55,920
gardner be

1583
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,359
you know involved in that process as

1584
01:08:57,359 --> 01:08:59,359
well

1585
01:08:59,359 --> 01:09:00,560
i mean

1586
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,560
i i you know to

1587
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,120
can't speak to mr carter's no capacity

1588
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,640
right now to do that but i think if we

1589
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,520
do have the capacity i think that that sounds like a

1590
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,679
good practice um

1591
01:09:11,679 --> 01:09:13,520
anybody else thinks about that and if so

1592
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,719
we're saying that maybe we um

1593
01:09:16,719 --> 01:09:18,159
hold off on this and kind of revisit

1594
01:09:18,159 --> 01:09:19,759
after we get some more information seems

1595
01:09:19,759 --> 01:09:21,759
like that's where we're going

1596
01:09:21,759 --> 01:09:25,120
well i don't i would like to see us be able

1597
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,080
to look at that so but other counselling

1598
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,359
yeah i don't have a problem with that

1599
01:09:31,359 --> 01:09:33,440
but then we can also work at inserting

1600
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:35,279
the two sections that you wanted to see

1601
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,440
in this policy where the work for force

1602
01:09:37,440 --> 01:09:38,560
have you have in the

1603
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,799
requirement section so a two section

1604
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:42,960
needs to be added into the policy well

1605
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,799
mr coleman is saying that he doesn't

1606
01:09:44,799 --> 01:09:45,759
think it

1607
01:09:45,759 --> 01:09:47,600
i'm not saying that at all i'm not

1608
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,199
saying that i'll it's you know it's

1609
01:09:49,199 --> 01:09:50,480
obviously within the constant

1610
01:09:50,480 --> 01:09:52,239
prerogative to

1611
01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:53,759
put it into the purchasing policy and

1612
01:09:53,759 --> 01:09:56,640
what it deems you know fit

1613
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,320
i just don't want to create language

1614
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,719
that doesn't accurately reflect what the

1615
01:10:00,719 --> 01:10:03,440
council would like obviously

1616
01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:05,520
it seems like we'll be as we're having

1617
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:06,800
more information obviously when we work

1618
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,159
on the corporation council in order to

1619
01:10:08,159 --> 01:10:10,080
make sure that we're putting forth

1620
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,280
accurately describes what we're trying

1621
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:12,719
to do here

1622
01:10:12,719 --> 01:10:14,719
right

1623
01:10:14,719 --> 01:10:17,760
okay so there's a definitely what

1624
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,440
two weeks we're saying

1625
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:23,920
okay

1626
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,239
next on the agenda is

1627
01:10:26,239 --> 01:10:28,640
the discussion on ole miss broadcasting

1628
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,960
um

1629
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,080
thank you uh so as we all know the

1630
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,880
problem with the broadcasting of the

1631
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,360
meeting still remains an issue

1632
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,600
particularly the audio

1633
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:42,640
the last

1634
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,239
time we talked about this was about a

1635
01:10:44,239 --> 01:10:46,000
month ago

1636
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,239
checked in with the zeb from osm

1637
01:10:50,239 --> 01:10:51,760
in the mayor's office

1638
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,600
unfortunately the two haven't been able

1639
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:54,800
to

1640
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,159
really

1641
01:10:56,159 --> 01:11:00,480
get together and put something before

1642
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:02,640
but just wanted to make sure that we

1643
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,280
keep this on on the agenda to make sure

1644
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,520
that we actually do address this

1645
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,320
and at some point get it fixed so people

1646
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,600
can't

1647
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:13,920
actually hear what we have to say

1648
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,840
i don't know did you want to add

1649
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,239
anything um i don't really have anything

1650
01:11:18,239 --> 01:11:21,120
to add just i know that um

1651
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,320
tell everybody

1652
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,080
that it would make a lot of people happy

1653
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:25,920
that watch it at home to be able to hear

1654
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,520
it clearly

1655
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,000
and and see it a lot better

1656
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,199
we do the best we can with what we have

1657
01:11:33,199 --> 01:11:34,159
but

1658
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:37,679
frankly some love is deteriorating it's

1659
01:11:37,679 --> 01:11:40,560
older um this would put us in a really

1660
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:41,760
good place

1661
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,000
visually and audio

1662
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,920
to really bring the council meetings

1663
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,320
home and archive

1664
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:49,360
forever

1665
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:53,910
um

1666
01:11:53,920 --> 01:12:02,870
[Music]

1667
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:07,270
[Applause]

1668
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,280
behind there how loud it is to adjust

1669
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,960
that so that would give the sam or

1670
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,080
somebody

1671
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,640
audio controls to uh to turn it down or

1672
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,199
up if something's not awful

1673
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:19,040
in the chambers separate from the

1674
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,040
recording so there's little things like

1675
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,040
that that would uh certainly help the

1676
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,560
production quality of the meetings

1677
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,880
but i'm happy to answer your questions

1678
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:29,920
all right so

1679
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,950
we used to have

1680
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:36,960
speak for that foreign those cordless

1681
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,199
mics uh just started dropping off two of

1682
01:12:39,199 --> 01:12:42,320
them don't work at all now um and then

1683
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:43,520
the eos

1684
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,600
gentleman tom told me that they are

1685
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,440
running on frequencies that we're not

1686
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:49,679
even allowed to run out

1687
01:12:49,679 --> 01:12:52,480
um there's a digital equivalent now of

1688
01:12:52,480 --> 01:12:56,000
those that were a lot better

1689
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,120
and

1690
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,040
yeah so that's why we're not using those

1691
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,480
anymore

1692
01:13:00,480 --> 01:13:02,159
they're just they're just

1693
01:13:02,159 --> 01:13:09,430
dated

1694
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:11,280
would this be an opportunity to kind of

1695
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,840
partner with someone like um our uh

1696
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:14,719
our

1697
01:13:14,719 --> 01:13:17,040
community partners like around

1698
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:18,640
who are doing board meetings right now

1699
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,080
who don't seem to have the same issues

1700
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:21,520
like if they're willing to do that like

1701
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:23,840
maybe our school district or accounting

1702
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,040
even to try to see if we can partner

1703
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,320
with them around

1704
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,080
accessing the same type of technology

1705
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,440
that they're using

1706
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:38,709
um

1707
01:13:38,719 --> 01:13:41,840
it's just different and quite frankly

1708
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:47,910
um

1709
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,320
they do a great job um

1710
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,400
but our needs are a little different we

1711
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,520
have a

1712
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,280
different room i mean this is an older

1713
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:56,800
building and there's just little things

1714
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,640
like that

1715
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:00,400
fighting against like little audio

1716
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,560
noises that with the the hum and the

1717
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,760
lights and that just eats the mic and

1718
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:07,520
this would um

1719
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,189
take care of all those issues

1720
01:14:11,199 --> 01:14:20,470
but it's good

1721
01:14:20,480 --> 01:14:21,520
so

1722
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:22,480
um

1723
01:14:22,480 --> 01:14:24,320
i actually i did mention this too mr

1724
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,320
fellow brothers followed so at this

1725
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,239
point in time um

1726
01:14:28,239 --> 01:14:29,280
how

1727
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,320
i mean

1728
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:31,920
how long would it take or what is the

1729
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,320
process i think maybe maybe that being a

1730
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,800
question for the mayor but um because i

1731
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,080
thought at least if we could have chores

1732
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:39,679
of somebody but

1733
01:14:39,679 --> 01:14:41,920
um the feedback is that we shouldn't

1734
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,040
entertain expense that we you know

1735
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:46,400
that we're just spending money because

1736
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,239
we have to upgrade but at this point

1737
01:14:48,239 --> 01:14:50,239
time we're using one mic and i've still

1738
01:14:50,239 --> 01:14:52,080
even with the one like that my one of

1739
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,159
the feedback that i'm getting is that

1740
01:14:54,159 --> 01:14:56,159
it's still not good quality so much for

1741
01:14:56,159 --> 01:14:58,870
the um

1742
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,920
for the public so

1743
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:03,440
what are your thoughts on

1744
01:15:03,440 --> 01:15:05,440
what we are where we are right now

1745
01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:06,400
um

1746
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,400
i mean this with the proposal i mean

1747
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,480
it's a top it's a top to bottom kind of

1748
01:15:10,480 --> 01:15:11,920
thing it would take care of all those

1749
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,719
problems i mean honestly i

1750
01:15:14,719 --> 01:15:16,960
um i looked at every

1751
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,280
you know item and i asked tom a bunch of

1752
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:20,800
questions on each other so i understand

1753
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,840
what intersects with one

1754
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:24,880
and it all

1755
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,600
kind of just sounds great i mean

1756
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,400
it really is a

1757
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,080
top-down approach

1758
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:33,040
to it

1759
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:34,880
you know

1760
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,040
i mean i could get different proposals

1761
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:41,600
from different uh but it would you know

1762
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:42,719
take

1763
01:15:42,719 --> 01:15:44,800
some more weeks and right now

1764
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,560
the equipment is just frank i mean we

1765
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,520
have no cordless mics

1766
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,040
and there's other issues as well with

1767
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,679
these links on table and and little

1768
01:15:55,679 --> 01:15:57,840
things like that that just need to be

1769
01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,040
upgraded

1770
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,229
in my opinion

1771
01:16:02,239 --> 01:16:04,080
well i think if we're not

1772
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:07,040
people can't hear you know then it's

1773
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,040
really kind of defeating the purpose of

1774
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,040
what we're trying to do so i appreciate

1775
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,600
your thoughts on that mr murderer

1776
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:15,120
yeah thank you

1777
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,520
i think all of us in this room here can

1778
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,120
attest that we have received our fair

1779
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,560
share of complaints

1780
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,800
from the public in terms of argue in

1781
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,880
terms of the likely i think this is

1782
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:26,640
something that we should

1783
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:27,520
do

1784
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,840
we should we should proceed

1785
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,239
with this and move out to

1786
01:16:32,239 --> 01:16:34,400
get the mayor authority to um go ahead

1787
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,080
and get this contract and get this

1788
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:37,360
equipments in

1789
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:39,360
and uh you know rehab the whole place

1790
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:40,800
and get the

1791
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,280
it working properly so that the resident

1792
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:45,040
can

1793
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,840
look and hear

1794
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:49,840
think that's something that we should do

1795
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,360
um there's no hole but there shouldn't

1796
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:52,719
be no hold back on this server at this

1797
01:16:52,719 --> 01:16:55,120
point in time let's select the

1798
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:57,600
defender and we'll power

1799
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,590
and get this equipment installed

1800
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:03,120
uh so i also think it's worth noting and

1801
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:04,560
before i state that i want to say thank

1802
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,159
you for all the work that you're doing i

1803
01:17:06,159 --> 01:17:07,360
know you definitely mentioned there are

1804
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,199
some system issues that you're trying to

1805
01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:10,800
navigate and i'll definitely see you in

1806
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:12,320
here uh

1807
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,800
trying to get it functional um so

1808
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,640
you know i noticed that

1809
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:18,400
but in regards to us offering this

1810
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,239
service or an option for people to view

1811
01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:21,840
these meetings from home i think we're

1812
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:23,199
going to offer this we need to make sure

1813
01:17:23,199 --> 01:17:25,120
it's at a certain level and standard

1814
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:26,719
that allows them to be able to view our

1815
01:17:26,719 --> 01:17:29,520
meetings or we need to adjust how we

1816
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,640
offer this if at all so definitely

1817
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:34,480
i appreciate this discussion item being

1818
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:36,560
on the agenda again tonight but i think

1819
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,360
we need to place a greater

1820
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,679
emphasis on this because again i think

1821
01:17:41,679 --> 01:17:43,840
our residents or visitors who are

1822
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,520
viewing these meetings

1823
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,440
they owe us a certain quality and if

1824
01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:48,560
we're not able to meet those

1825
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,120
expectations we should just uh

1826
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:52,719
remove it

1827
01:17:52,719 --> 01:17:53,370
sooner

1828
01:17:53,370 --> 01:17:55,040
[Music]

1829
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:56,840
so

1830
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,600
largely agree but i think there's

1831
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,390
information

1832
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:03,280
that

1833
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:07,120
we if we want to continue down this road

1834
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,840
we need to discuss an executive session

1835
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:14,480
regarding some other options

1836
01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:15,280
and

1837
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,280
look and hear all that information

1838
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:18,719
before

1839
01:18:18,719 --> 01:18:20,880
we proceed with any sort of action

1840
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,000
because

1841
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,239
i think it's information that

1842
01:18:24,239 --> 01:18:26,480
is needed to be heard

1843
01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:29,440
and it's important information to have

1844
01:18:29,440 --> 01:18:33,600
yes we want to have quality

1845
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,320
transmission of our meetings

1846
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,040
but we also need to make sure we're

1847
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,040
using our money

1848
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,760
efficiently and effectively and also

1849
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,480
have the information so i think if we do

1850
01:18:46,480 --> 01:18:47,440
want to

1851
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:49,600
continue down that road it should be a

1852
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:50,880
discussion

1853
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:55,830
and executive session

1854
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,270
i knew the thoughts were on that

1855
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,199
and so can i just show some clarity

1856
01:19:01,199 --> 01:19:02,800
around that so it would be regarding

1857
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,520
contracts then yes your contract oh

1858
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:08,400
but to mr palomini's point the

1859
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,960
relationship between the city and open

1860
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,280
stage media evolved with the last

1861
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:16,080
negotiations with the franchise

1862
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:17,440
agreement with

1863
01:19:17,440 --> 01:19:21,669
what was then time warner it's now

1864
01:19:21,679 --> 01:19:23,760
charter and

1865
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,440
simultaneously with verizon so they are

1866
01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:29,199
the designated

1867
01:19:29,199 --> 01:19:30,159
peg

1868
01:19:30,159 --> 01:19:32,000
operator of

1869
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,840

01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,679
public access education and government

1871
01:19:37,679 --> 01:19:40,400

1872
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,800
