00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,960 commissioner mayor we discussed it we uh 56 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,720 we've discussed it with the golf course 57 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,400 uh committee a little bit 58 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,960 and uh if we like what you see here 59 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,000 we're looking 60 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,919 at a general increase of three dollars 61 00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:50,479 and a 50 increase for 62 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:52,479 season passes as well as five dollars 63 00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:54,560 for tournaments and then uh we 64 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,039 simplified and actually get into it the 65 00:05:57,039 --> 00:05:59,520 golf pro lesson rates um there were some 66 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,120 rates that just weren't structured the 67 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,199 way that was simplest for us so matt 68 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,120 came up with a cleaner rate for that 69 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,800 along with some increases because they 70 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,400 haven't been raised since i believe you 71 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,880 started which was over nine years ago 72 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,400 so 73 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,000 matt you want to talk about how these 74 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,280 compares just because i know you've been 75 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,199 doing research on that yeah what do you 76 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,400 want me to start with first the first 77 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800 yeah so 78 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,319 you know we've 79 00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:26,319 pretty much prided our size ourselves 80 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,400 the last few years since i've started 81 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,080 anyway last nine years 82 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680 and really changing the professionalism 83 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520 of the golf course 84 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240 and we've we've become in such high 85 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,840 demand 86 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:39,360 when we compare our rates to the other 87 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,720 golf courses i think we're very much 88 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,080 undervaluing what we what we have 89 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,759 so our newest competitor which is 90 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:47,440 stadium golf club and obviously all the 91 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,880 rumors are scrolling around with that 92 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,240 facility 93 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,599 i mean nothing is set in stone if 94 00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:52,800 anything's ever going to go through with 95 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,639 that but in the meantime 96 00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:56,639 i can tell you that their most expensive 97 00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:58,479 rate with to ride 98 00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:00,160 would be 52 99 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,919 which is two dollars more than what we 100 00:07:01,919 --> 00:07:04,479 are charging right now 101 00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:06,000 and then if you move along down the 102 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,919 street to town a colony golf club our 103 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:10,800 nearest municipal competitor 104 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,120 uh for their residence to ride would be 105 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,840 49 and for a non-resident fifty four 106 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,680 dollars now you compare that to ours 107 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,240 we're charging for a resident to ride 108 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,520 forty dollars 109 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,199 nine dollars less than their resident 110 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:24,479 fee 111 00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:26,319 uh fifty dollars for a non-resident 112 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,639 which is four dollars less so even with 113 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:30,880 this green speed increase that puts us 114 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880 right in line with our other competitors 115 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800 so it's not like we're going to be price 116 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,199 gouging our customers 117 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:40,000 uh and getting breed so to speak 118 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,479 and i truly feel that 119 00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:44,319 we are undervaluing ourselves i think 120 00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:46,160 we're a much better facility in terms of 121 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,759 the golf course layout 122 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,560 uh the conditions are in my opinion are 123 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,800 top-notch compared to the others and i 124 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,759 say that because i'm the head 125 00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:58,879 professional there and so you should be 126 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,759 um and then if you move into the next uh 127 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:03,680 city over to albany capitol hills 128 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,120 they're gonna support golf course now 129 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,520 when coco struck 130 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160 they didn't open until mid-summer 131 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,680 and when they did finally get their 132 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,759 facility open they made a significant 133 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:15,199 increase in their grains fees of ten 134 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:16,240 dollars 135 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,680 so now their most expensive rate 136 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,199 uh is 69 with car okay 137 00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:24,960 so that is nineteen dollars more than 138 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,720 we're charging 139 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,080 i'm not asking for something that's 140 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,599 significant okay 141 00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:31,199 but i do think that it needs to be 142 00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,039 addressed and of course you know we're 143 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:34,719 always looking to do future projects and 144 00:08:34,719 --> 00:08:36,800 so this revenue increase will help for 145 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,080 us 146 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,840 in terms of the season passes 147 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,200 [Music] 148 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,159 uh for a non-resident season pass is 149 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,279 currently 1 250 150 00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:51,600 stadium golf club is charging 1 750 151 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760 so even with our increase 152 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,760 for non-resident will be slightly more 153 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,440 than theirs but for a resident will be 154 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,030 significantly less than theirs 155 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,399 so i hope that kind of puts things in 156 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:05,829 perspective a little bit 157 00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:07,360 and then if you move into the to the 158 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,120 saratoga county region eagle crest and 159 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,240 van patten 160 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,320 uh just over the rexford bridge not

00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,120 their rate structures are going to be 165 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,800 yet i do know that they were 166 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,120 significantly higher than ours last year 167 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,080 okay 168 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,760 not sure where they're headed 169 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,680 in terms of the next year 170 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,790 and moving forward 171 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:48,829 does anyone have any questions 172 00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:51,920 so the next item on the agenda is 2022 173 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,920 budget uh golf budget amendment so i 174 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,160 think we're staying for that yes uh 175 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,560 thanks for watching this uh so what we 176

superintendent 179 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,920 and he uh recommended that approximately 180 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,880 a dozen or more trees come down uh he 181 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,320 actually matched tour of the course with 182 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,079 them that's why i want to say they're in 183 00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:17,839 strategic locations we have a couple of 184 00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:20,320 dead ones at i believe hole 10 that we'd 185 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,160 like to we have some that are blocking 186 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,480 the sunlight that's

00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,200 they were over six figures they involved 217 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,519 the consultant they involved bid because 218 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,600 we were over uh thirty five thousand 219 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,040 dollars which requires a bit i just 220 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,959 wanted to tell you as a council that 221 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:29,200 what we're looking at here is 222 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,240 like flagging a dozen trees that are too 223 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240 big and having a contractor come in a 224 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,480 dozen so the price is going to be under 225 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,800 the bid threshold so that's the 35 000 226 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,920 that's why we're still going to get 227 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,110 quotes we still 228 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,720 that's where we got the numbers so this 229 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,959 will put us in there we always follow 230 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:50,720 procurement policy you know we've never 231 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,160 done anything outside of that but we're 232 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,480 not looking for this to be like 233 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,399 a huge project that we've done in the 234 00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,079 past 235 00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:00,480 are there any other questions 236

motion for recess 242 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120 second all those in favor all right 243 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,639 thank you we're recess 244 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:22,880 it's all toward finance and one item 245 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,639 here is just a reminder 246 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:25,920 amending 247 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,800 reminder for public hearing on 248 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,800 february 20th with regards to manning 249 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,200 2021 2022 250 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,360 odd annual action plan 251 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:41,670 let's see if you have any referrals 252 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,680 okay 253 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,440 any other business before finance i have 254 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,160 something um before the meeting we 255 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,760 received the email about the output 256 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,800 meetings 257 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,480 um just so it's your in case you haven't 258 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,320 thought of it i think special media 259 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,800 requires 72 hours notice 260 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,880 and we wouldn't meet those requirements 261 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,639 what's going to call false 262 00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:04,560 well if your problem pockets then you 263 00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,880 have a couple issues potentially 264 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,800 all seven of us are democrats so that's 265 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,519 a potential problem and secondly 266 00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:13,760 what you put in the agenda is requiring 267 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,440 decisions to be made and that would 268 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,800 break the 269 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,959 open meeting on 270 00:13:18,959 --> 00:13:20,720 well it was just to discuss those things 271 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,680 those are the things that we're supposed 272 00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,200 to discuss and i have been talking to mr 273 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,040 colton about that so we'll work through 274 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,959 whether it can be a caucus or not right 275 00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:28,639 but i did consult our corporation 276 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:30,320 council on that but what you haven't put 277 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,959 in the email does ask for decisions to 278 00:13:32,959 --> 00:13:36,079 be made and that would require 279 00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:38,399 a regular meeting i would just suggest 280 00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:40,480 we do this at the regular committee 281 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,399 meetings anyway well i think that the 282 00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:43,680 regular committee 283 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,680 i feel strongly that regular committee 284 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:46,720 meaning this is going to take a lot of 285 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,839 time and will take up a lot of our 286 00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:49,360 community meeting tonight we have a 287 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,880 short one the last time we were here two 288 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,600 and a half hours but the issue is people 289 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,800 are used to opening uh special meetings 290 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,120 used to our meetings on monday night 291 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,959 we want people to participate we want 292 00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:02,959 people to pay attention if we have it on 293 00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:04,480 wednesday thursday or friday night 294 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,680 they're not used to it they're going to 295 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,279 miss the meeting then we'll just have to 296 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:08,480 announce because we really need to move 297 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,920 forward with this we really really have 298 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,839 to get this going i sent down an email 299 00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:13,279 and some of you 300 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:15,360 didn't even respond to the first one so 301 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,040 that's because you asked for a special 302 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760 meet a special meeting requires 72 hours 303 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,519 i asked i sent the email out two weeks 304 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:22,399 ago 305 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,160 you didn't respond at all in any way 306 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,920 because it was a special meeting but you 307 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,600 didn't even say when the time frame 308 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,800 could be so we couldn't even schedule 309 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,639 meetings because only two people 310 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:32,720 responded so we couldn't even thursday 311 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,760 evening 312 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,160 no that was today's meeting no was the 313 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,560 response was on a thursday evening the 314 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,480 first meeting was asking for times and 315 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,720 you didn't respond i think so and so 316 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,839 only two 317 00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:46,240 and it said thursday night or friday 318 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,560 which wouldn't have met the requirement 319 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,480 for the 72 hours we hadn't even 320 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,160 scheduled we were asking for times i'll 321 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,839 say again and you didn't respond with 322 00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:55,920 any time most of you didn't two people 323 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,639 responded with times i was waiting till 324 00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:00,240 now because i also wanted to suggest 325 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,360 that we knew it during a committee 326 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,639 meeting when it was a public meeting but you didn't respond in any way not 327 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,000 even that but you just said you didn't 328 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,399 even say that i'd like to discuss it so 329 00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,079 numbers i can't 330 00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:11,519 know anything if you don't respond to 331 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,040 the emails 332 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,360 so well so that's my recommendation well 333 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,560 do it in a committee meeting well i 334 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,839 think that we i think that's going to 335 00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:19,199 take a lot more time and it's going to 336 00:15:19,199 --> 00:15:21,600 just be a really and what we have to do 337 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,959 that we have to get this committee done 338 00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:24,320 but we can have a discussion certainly 339 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,959 it's not up to me entirely but i don't 340 00:15:26,959 --> 00:15:28,320 think that with something we should rush 341 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,920 through and because we have so many 342 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,600 other things on our agenda as it is and 343 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,959 if people don't mind being here until 344 00:15:32,959 --> 00:15:35,040 nine or ten o'clock at night then i'm 345 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,639 done because i'm not i'm not i'm fine 346 00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:38,800 with being here however long it takes 347 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,350 but i don't want us to rush through it 348 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,680 so and i'll just ask again if i send out 349 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,320 an email some type of response would be 350 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,440 uh just courteous to at least say 351 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,880 yes no 352 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,480 whatever your response is but to not 353 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,839 respond at all 354 00:15:55,839 --> 00:15:57,680 i i can't figure out what you're 355 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,880 thinking 356 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,720 well the thinking was you asked for a 357 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,560 special meeting you were even quoted in 358 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,240 the newspaper asking for a special 359 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,720 meeting that requires 72 hours but you 360 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,480 didn't even respond and so we don't have 361 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560 to go round and round about that 362 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,800 well i i suggest we have a regular 363 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,480 committee meeting so people can pay 364 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,160 attention well it's a discussion that'll 365 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,920 be made by by the majority of the 366 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,199 council but i i think that we need to 367 00:16:21,199 --> 00:16:22,800 you know definitely get it done 368 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,800 regardless and answering emails is it 369 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,310 important 370 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,759 yes mr toro can i just ask um kylie 371 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:33,519 mr coleman since you were married been 372 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:36,000 talking marion's been talking so what is 373 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,680 the deal can we have a meeting 374 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,079 can you have a caucus meeting right a 375 00:16:42,079 --> 00:16:43,839 caucus or a special meeting does it need 376 00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:46,240 the 72 hours i mean well a caucus 377 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,000 meeting is not 378 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,639 subject to the open meetings law 379 00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:52,880 a special meaning would require 380 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,199 notice in advance of the public um as 381 00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:58,079 much notice as we can provide 382 00:16:58,079 --> 00:16:58,959 so 383 00:16:58,959 --> 00:17:00,320 there are two separate things or 384 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,560 actually three separate things 385 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,959 council is all made up of one political 386 00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:08,710 party you cannot caucus 387 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,959 so it becomes a a very fact intensive um 388 00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:15,039 you know proposition to do a caucus 389 00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:16,799

all that it just seemed 541 00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:32,000 ideal that we should do a little bit 542 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320 more marketing um around it and getting 543 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,159 information out to people so they could 544 00:22:36,159 --> 00:22:38,080 know that this is available and then 545 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,679 making sure that all first responders 546

their purview this particular 552 00:22:51,679 --> 00:22:53,440 thing so we're working on pulling 553 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,120 something together where we um roll the 554 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,039 program out again 555 00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:00,400 and um in addition to that that we um 556 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,159 make sure these are available and we 557 00:23:02,159 -->

people actually know 566 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,159 that the program exists um because it's 567 00:23:22,159 --> 00:23:24,159 you know really an i think a really 568 00:23:24,159 --> 00:23:25,600 outstanding program 569 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,960 and something that people should know 570 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,720 about and utilize and so 571 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,400 um we're we're having discussions 572 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,840 whether this will be county right 573 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,799 because 574 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:33,840 it's new york state sheriff's 575 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,679 association so we're having discussions 576 00:23:35,679 --> 00:23:37,520 about that but definitely to roll that 577 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,960 out and to make sure that people are 578 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,360 informed about it 579 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:43,120 so i just wanted to bring that forward 580 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,559 and let the council know that it's being 581 00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:45,600 worked on 582 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,679 and we'll you know then hopefully the 583 00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:49,360 next few weeks be able to actually

just wanted you all to know 591 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,760 i think it's an outstanding program and probably underutilized at this time 592 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,840 so let's make sure that uh 593 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,799 we uh utilize it so 594 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:14,799 yeah i write about it when you i'm sorry 595 00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:16,159 when you had it on the agenda a

00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,480 already actually been underway with our 600 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,720 share so it's been with our sheriff's 601 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,080 department they did something in 2012. 602 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,360 but um haven't done anything in the last 603 00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,480 um almost 10 years so 604 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,320 now we're just wanting to 605 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,919 do it collectively and have more 606 00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:40,400 entities involved and that way 607 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,559 it doesn't get kind of lost in the sauce 608 00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:44,000 you know if everybody has it on their 609 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,200 website and and more people have it um 610 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,960 we have it here at city hall 611 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,039 so that the people are aware of it and 612 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,279 um you know can make sure they take 613 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:54,880 advantage of it 614 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:55,919 so 615 00:24:55,919 --> 00:24:57,919 mr parker yes i was just thinking like 616 00:24:57,919 --> 00:25:00,080 um with some of the

almost an electronic way to do this 620 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,960 almost like if people could have a 621 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,960 registry so a phone call comes from 622 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,919 let's say 623 00:25:11,919 --> 00:25:13,440 this household 624 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,600 you know medical history things that 625 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,200 aren't efforts could immediately pop up 626 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,279 on the screen for maybe a dispatch or 627 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,520 something like that maybe something well 628 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,080 i'm sure that could happen um however 629 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,200 this program is something we're just 630 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:36,950 helping market it's not yeah yeah just 631 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,120 an ongoing education effort that we have 632 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,120 to look at 633 00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,679 where you point out most phones today 634 00:25:43,679 --> 00:25:46,640 have what's called an ice function in 635 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960 case of emergency 636 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,880 a lot of people don't understand that so 637 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,000 that 638 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000 even though your phone is locked and you 639 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,880 have 640 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,799 its password protected 641 00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:58,400 that emergency 642 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600 medical people can access that limited 643 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,840 area in your phone that would 644 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,559 talk about your medicine medical history 645 00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:08,480 emergency contact 646 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,760 people and 647 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,400 again this yellow dot is 648 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,799 something that's been around a while and 649 00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,520 it does a similar function 650 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,880 uh and so it's how do you just 651 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,440 continually make people aware of it 652 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,360 where we all hope that we never in those 653 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,240 situations where you need the emergency 654 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,039 services and people don't know 655 00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:32,159 some of your background your history but 656 00:26:32,159 --> 00:26:34,559 it does happen and how do you just 657 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:37,440 prepare people and 658 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,720 enable 659 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,799 first responders to be able to react 660 00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:42,559 appropriately and 661 00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:45,919 size up the situation and provide 662 00:26:45,919 --> 00:26:47,360 again that 663 00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:52,390 correct treatment and diagnosis 664 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,230 any further discussion on this 665 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,039 okay i think bro that's on the agenda is 666 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:01,039 we're going to talk about our osm 667 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:02,880 broadcast the city council committee and 668 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,919 follow up 669 00:27:03,919 --> 00:27:06,400 right at our last meeting um 670 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,159 we had discussed you know that there 671 00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,600 need to be the mayor said it would need 672 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,200 to be a broader plan but one of the 673 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,799 outcomes of the meeting as i understand 674 00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,200 it mr palami said about us purchasing 675 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,480 microphones 676 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,360 so 677 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,679 um as my understanding is they've come 678 00:27:19,679 --> 00:27:21,520 up with a price 679 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,640 what is it 680 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,880 how much about 530 681 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,880 about five thirty but by 530 to purchase 682 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,799 microphone so it's not doesn't fix 683 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,080 everything but it fixes the fact that we 684 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,000 are sharing a microphone the other day 685 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,840 we you know we the council member had to 686 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,520 speak and so 687 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,640 the other counselor had to go get the 688 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,960 microphone bring it over to them so this 689 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,240 would um 690 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,000 alleviate that problem and then you know 691 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,520 still be working on the larger problem 692 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,640 so um 693 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,159 i just wanted to bring that forward that 694 00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:51,279 i guess that's something that we can 695 00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:54,240 just go ahead and do on one or two 696 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,430 oh do we want one or two 697 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,070 is it 530 for two or for each one 698 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,880 it was also an option to have 699 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,279 in the tech department was looking into 700 00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:11,440 that 701 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,919 those crane type microphones so they 702 00:28:13,919 --> 00:28:16,480 would be at each member's 703 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,360 desk 704 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,840 so we were waiting for cost information 705 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,919 on that so i don't know if we 706 00:28:21,919 --> 00:28:24,640 wanted to look into that but the i know 707 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,440 the mayor's office was looking into that 708 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,960 the line had asked for a second the tech 709 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,909 individual for second and third 710 00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:38,880 options of the entire package 711 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,320 but that was something that's being 712 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,840 looked into so if we want the individual 713 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,840 microphones as well 714 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,240 in addition to this or until these are 715 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,880 just instead of oh instead of these 716 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,240 and how long do you know how much and 717 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,480 how long haven't that 718 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,039 have they gotten any have you been able 719 00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,279 to get any cost factors yet 720 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:01,360 estimates 721 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,279 i i'm not aware of the 722 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:06,240 cost of anybody else's i know this had 723 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,000 sent something 724 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,960 but 725 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:14,310 let me see if i can find it 726 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,159 so if we if if 727 00:29:16,159 --> 00:29:18,000 it's going to be a long time i i really 728 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,200 think that we should at least have a 729 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,880 couple of microphones that we could use 730 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,120 to share one on each side so that makes 731 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,320 two 732 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,360 because right now it's just 733 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,440 it's cumbersome trying to um you know 734 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,840 for the council members to try to 735 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,600 have a microphone use 736 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,520 i wouldn't think it would take an awful 737 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,600 long time i mean it's just a matter of 738 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,120 seeing if the state has and or if we have to buy it 739 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,679 from a private 740 00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:44,880 veteran 741 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,960 mr williams oh my on the recommendation 742 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,480 would be whatever we decide if we just 743 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120 have an additional unit as a uh just 744 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,520 backup so we're not having to re-create 745 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,640 this entire conversation but 746 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,640 so since our our last meeting i did 747 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,919 reach out to a superintendent uh uh the 748 00:30:01,919 --> 00:30:03,600 schenectady city school district looking 749 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,120 to see if there's something that and we 750 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,600 can borrow in the interim 751 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600 uh just you know right now a lot of 752 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,919 people in office are out so um i'll 753 00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:13,520 continue following up just because my 754 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,960 only concern is i don't want to be in a 755 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,640 position where people were having 756 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,240 meetings and people can't hear us right 757 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,080 like it and as we're you know because 758 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,520 there's some processes obviously we have 759 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,720 to follow i want to make sure that we 760 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,440 can 761 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,120 you know people can hear us in the 762 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,909 meantime so 763 00:30:27,919 --> 00:30:30,640 i'll let you guys know i don't know 764 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:47,590 borrow the microphone until we can yeah 765 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,039 so if we could just find out how much it 766 00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:51,120 would cost to so um 767 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,480 we're talking about the microphone per 768 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360 person so six of those it's 769 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,360 the ones that we have uh 770 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,600 it's the ones with the the 771 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,840 stick you know them and the microphones 772 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,200 but they're wired so they're not 773 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,440 wireless so like the ones that we're 774 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,360 using up there yeah so the issue 775 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,919 hopefully with the wireless would not be 776 00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:11,600 a problem though because they would be 777 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,360 hired 778 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,640 okay 779 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,039 any other uh discussion around that i 780 00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:18,720 just want to give i want to bring some 781 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,640 circle around so you're going to mr 782 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,559 follow me find out the cost on that b 783 00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:25,440 and we're talking about not doing the two 784 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,760 wireless this is the mean time whichever 785 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,480 way yeah i can get the cost 786 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,919 and assignment 787 00:31:31,919 --> 00:31:33,519 yeah so i think because we really need 788 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:35,279 to solve this has been it's going down 789 00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:36,559 real fast 790 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:39,120 we went down from three to one to none 791 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,039 and pretty soon if the last one the one 792 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:42,480 that we have goes out 793 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,640 together we have to scream out loud 794 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,799 so you can find that out and we can send 795 00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:47,840 out the information so we can make a 796 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,399 decision on that 797 00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:55,120 okay any further discussion on that 798 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,320 okay 799 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,039 i
