00:31:10,399 acres from r2 to the c4 downtown zoning 61 00:31:10,399 --> 00:31:12,480 the the planning commission made a 62 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,080 recommendation 63 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,039 at their last meeting and this is this 64 00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:19,440 first revolution for the city council to 65 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,159 adopt the negative uh seeker deprivation 66 00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:25,200 the determination of non-significance 67 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,919 are there any questions 68 00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:33,440 there was a little bit more opposition 69 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,679 the planning commission that i than i 70 00:31:35,679 --> 00:31:38,559 expected but this was going to be more 71 00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,159 simple and straightforward and i don't 72 00:31:40,159 --> 00:31:42,240 know if the council 73 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,519 just 74 00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:46,159 to take that into consideration 75 00:31:46,159 --> 00:31:48,559 as you move forward 76 00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:50,159 i thought this was going to be kind of 77 00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:51,679 simple and straightforward some of the 78 00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:55,909 neighborhood in fact 79 00:31:55,919 --> 00:32:00,240 is not unified in this 80 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,990 undertaking 81 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,799 this part of you so um 82 00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,120 do we have information that you know 83 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,679 kind of talks about that any place 84 00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:14,480 uh i don't have the minutes from the 85 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,360 planning commission 86 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,519 [Music] 87 00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:21,279 but it could be made available to the 88 00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:23,120 council 89 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,039 but they they but they had enough they 90 00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:26,640 had the majority that voted it through 91 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,760 is that's why it's back here with us 92 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,200 correct 93 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,750 yes 94 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:36,559 um 95 00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:39,039 now the one they did so this would be 96 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:41,120 separate from this rezon record but the 97 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,279 planning commission did recommend 98 00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:45,600 that this in the seaport downtown makes 99 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,159 use that um convenience stores would be 100 00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:50,399 required to obtain a special use permit 101 00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:51,440 so that was kind of one of the 102 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,039 recommendations along with this i think 103 00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:54,799 some of the concerns were just around 104 00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:55,919 that 105 00:32:55,919 --> 00:32:57,760 and just the unknown of what would be 106 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,919 developed in the area um 107 00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:02,240 you know again the reality is that it is 108 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,039 adjacent to the c4 and if the zoning 109 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,760 kind of changes mid block um but yes i'm 110 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,519 aware that there were comments just 111 00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:11,679 around the uncertainty 112 00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:13,600 and the other recommendation from the 113 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,039 planning commission was to for the 114 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,120 consideration of 115 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,039 requiring that convenience stores get a 116 00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:20,880 special use permit 117 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,720 to open 118 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,950 is there any time sensitivity to this 119 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,039 um 120 00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:30,720 not i mean this is just this is 121 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,480 something that's been in alignment with 122 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,080 the comprehensive plan just other things 123 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,840 that we're looking at and the just the 124 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,320 lack of kind of use of the lots there so 125 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,760 there's no immediate time constraint if 126 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,000 you wanted to wait to see 127 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,080 you know something else um 128 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,640 that's possibility my recommendation is 129 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,559 we hold off until we get the minutes of 130 00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,880 the planning commission we can look at 131 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,080 those and then 132 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,389 proceed i would agree 133 00:33:58,399 --> 00:34:02,070 so motion to table 134 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:03,760 second oh

214 00:36:58,079 --> 00:36:59,440 sometimes they get a little bit larger 215 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,320 than 40 in there however the boats that 216 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,359 traverse between uh say chicago and new 217 00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:06,800 york city some of them can be upwards of 218 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,400 over 100 feet 219 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,480 these boats will not fit there 220 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,720 so the idea is that we would be able to 221 00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:14,880 capture this as a tourist destination 222 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,680 also use this as possibly something for 223 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,560 recreational boating and also what is 224 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,320 the term commercial where we would have 225 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,560 a maybe a larger vessel like a dutch 226 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,160 apple or something where we can actually 227 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,400 do cruises and this is all possible 228 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,520 using this 229 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,839 part of that is public access to the 230 00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:32,640 dock 231 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,880 so that the public can use it for 232 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,240 working at kayaking fishing general access to the dock 233 00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:41,680 and we're looking to incorporate it 234 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,480 directly into the alko heritage trail 235 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,040 which goes along the river 236 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,079 so to do this we put out an rfp last 237 00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:52,400 year we received two proposals we 238 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,280 selected a team of 239 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,160 waterfront solutions in mj engineering 240 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,079 we entered into a contract with them 241 00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:03,920 late last year 242 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,599 part of that was working out this 243 00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:07,119 agreement here between the city and 244 00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:10,160 metroplex due to the complexities and 245 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,760 the in the design and getting the 246 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,200 agreements together 247 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,440 we have just started surveying a project 248 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,079 we have geotech lined up because these 249 00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:19,920 docks are going to require footings to 250 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,680 anchor them to the river 251 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,240 so we don't have any plans we don't have 252 00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:25,359 anything i know that there was some 253 00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:29,280 conversation about renderings or renderings they were used 254 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,440 as part of the grant application they're 255 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,800 you know they're nice to look at but 256 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,160 they're not really representative of 257 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,160 what we're doing because we don't know 258 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,599 what we're doing 259 00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:39,119 so 260 00:38:39,119 --> 00:38:40,640 this agreement here 261 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,520 is to cover those design costs that we 262 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,040 talked about that was part of the thing 263 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,680 that 264 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,000 the discrepancy was 265 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,160 our original estimate 266 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,800 had a design cost that was slightly less 267 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,960 metroplex agreed to cover that 268 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,240 difference which is what we're talking 269 00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:58,480 about here so that we can move forward 270 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,839 there is no city costs um this is paid 271 00:39:01,839 --> 00:39:04,800 for by the cfa this metroplex share and 272 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,320 then the local share is actually being 273 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,400 covered by the gillessy group through a 274 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,599 partnership 275 00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,720 so um so that our local share is 276 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:14,960 actually uh nothing 277 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,400 so that's what this agreement was for i 278 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,599 know i've got a chance to look through 279 00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:22,550 it i don't know 280 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,400 you did a great job as always chris i 281 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,320 just uh 282 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560 you know we have uh 283 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,720 we have the biggest waterfront project 284 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:32,720 in upstate new york and mobile carver 285 00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:34,960 it's a huge success dr brian stratton he 286 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,880 trumpets it all the time it's 287 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,640 the biggest most successful waterfront 288 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,680 project 289 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,599 and for so many years skanky was cut off 290 00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:43,520 from our waterfront i grew up here of 291 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,079 course alco playing close at 69. gary 292 00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:48,320 talks about elvis all the time right for 293 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,480 50 years and sat there rusting and no 294 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,320 one could recreate no one could connect 295 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,160 to the river we've connected to the 296 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,880 river again we have a marina people rent 297 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,440 kayaks and boats there they can dock 298 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,680 their boats there they go to restaurants 299 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,240 they go to the casinos and two hotels 300 00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:06,319 we really didn't have a dock for as 301 00:40:06,319 --> 00:40:09,040 chris said a large tour boats could tie 302 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,280 up prior to covid we had some real 303 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,640 interest from some of these boats they 304 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,800 call them loopers they go around to 305 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,280 chicago off the mississippi and that 306 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,880 would be really exciting to bring you 307 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,040 know some tourism dollars but also for 308 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,040 people here that want to go out on the 309 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,079 river and fish go out and launch their 310 00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,640 own kayak or canoe set a renting one at 311 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,800 the marina it's really for the people to 312 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,599 be able to go out and and also like the 313 00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:36,160 ski teams are really excited about it 314 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,839 the other groups that want to recreate 315 00:40:37,839 --> 00:40:39,040 the river 316 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,119 we really thank the galessi group for 317 00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,920 providing over 300 thousand dollars that 318 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,280 would have otherwise been the city's 319 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,400 match 320 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,079 we had a little bit of a overage on the 321 00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:52,400 design costs that's where metroplex is 322 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,960 putting in 75k the rest is funded by a 323 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,200 state grant no cost to the city 324 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,240 except for chris's time uh and he's been 325 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,160 great well i think the mayor because we 326 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,560 actually had secretary of state rosada 327 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,920 rosado come out and torah and gary's 328 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,920 really made a plea for this for this 329 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,480 grant to be awarded and that really made 330 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,000 a critical difference in getting the 331 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,760 grant so we're really excited about this 332 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,440 a couple of questions came in we did 333 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,359 some answers for you and sent those 334 00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:20,640 around but it's 335 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,560 we're really at early stage this year 336 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,720 it'll be a year of design work there'll 337 00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:27,119 be public input sessions 338 00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:29,200 as part of the contract and hopefully we 339 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,280 build this next year 340 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,359 and connect our community back to the 341 00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:35,599 waterfront 342 00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:37,359 in a way we've really never had before 343 00:41:37,359 --> 00:41:38,880 so we're really excited about this 344 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,480 appreciate the council 345 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,119 moving forward to accept 75 000 from 346 00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:46,000 metroplex are there any questions 347 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,990 no gladly except 75. 348 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,760 second on paper 349 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,599 thank you 350 00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:59,440 next is the authorize the mayor to go 351 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,359 into an agreement with metroplex for 352 00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:05,109 pedestrian safety action 353 00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:08,150 more comfortable 354 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,680 so what this is another agreement with 355 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,480 metroplex i actually was here i believe 356 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,119 two weeks ago maybe four talking about 357 00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:17,839 the psat and there was a question about 358 00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:19,920 uh the shares and we talked when i said 359 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,200 i believe the metroplex share was 360 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,240 between 200 and 300 so this is it is 361 00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:27,200 300. so what this is is that the psat is 362 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,520 a federally a 100 eligible project 363 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,200 however due to the location of it being 364 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,280 around city hall and the combined 365 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,760 efforts of metroplex in the city to do a 366 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,160 two-way j in front of the post office we 367 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,520 thought that we would want to do that 368 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,359 all and the same project at the same 369 00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:42,960 time instead of two contractors two 370 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,560 things so 371 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,480 it was decided that the 372 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,720 share would be split between metroplex 373 00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:50,720 and the city um the local share is 374 00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:52,400 approximately six hundred thousand 375 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,560 dollars three hundred of it uh 376 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,880 to the city three hundred to metroplex 377 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,960 was a disagreement so at the end of that 378 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,040 project we will have upgraded pedestrian 379 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,119 signals around uh two-way j from the 380 00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:04,880 post office and then decorative 381 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,160 crosswalks and pedestrian refuge areas 382 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,560 are any questions this park field so 383 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,720 we've already had we ever had the funds 384 00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:15,359 already uh allocated for this yeah 300 385 00:43:15,359 --> 00:43:16,560 000. 386 00:43:16,560

--> 00:48:25,520 be in a position that we can actually 533 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,000 email out all of the um 534 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,920 the applications 535 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,440 i know there was a suggestion to put it 536 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,000 on the city website however we're 537 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,480 targeting specific people and i don't 538 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:37,920 want people to get the impression that 539 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,359 if it's on the city website that they 540 00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:41,760 still have an opportunity to 541 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,680 um to to 542 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,599 apply because that's not what we what we 543 00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:48,640 agreed on so um that's where we are and 544 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:49,920 of course there'll be a cover letter to 545 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,440 go with that application 546 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,200 and um 547 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,960 so i'm just excited to see that people 548 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:55,760 are 549 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,040 lining up that's great so just an update 550 00:48:59,040 --> 00:48:59,839 um 551 00:48:59,839 --> 00:49:00,800 all right 552 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,800 thank you so i was the person that 553 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,880 suggested putting it on the website but 554 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:05,760 um 555 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:07,520 and that's fine i that that's a good 556 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,440 point um but it would be great if we 557 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,119 could make it a fillable pdf so even 558 00:49:11,119 --> 00:49:13,119 when it gets sent back out 559 00:49:13,119 --> 00:49:14,640 to the people that are sending their 560 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,400 names to uh ms maiku that at least would 561 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,240 be easier for them to just fill in the 562 00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:21,680 application instead of having to hand 563 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,760 write it or anything like that 564 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:24,880 um 565 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,960 i don't know how to do that but i'm 566 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,280 assuming there's someone with it hear 567 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,359 that well we did have a discussion based 568 00:49:31,359 --> 00:49:34,240 on that recommendation and um for those 569 00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,000 who can do this syllable pdf that's 570 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,440 great there's some people that cannot as 571 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,280 you said and sometimes with fillable 572 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,520 pdfs when you send them from one 573 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,680 application to the next the information 574 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,920 doesn't exactly gel because i i talked 575 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,839 to ms michael about that because based 576 00:49:47,839 --> 00:49:49,839 on your recommendation so that was the 577 00:49:49,839 --> 00:49:50,960 concern 578 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,880 so that to make sure that the when the 579 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,160 um 580 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,839 that was you know for miss michael who's 581 00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:57,440 going to be receiving all of these that 582 00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:58,559 make sure that the information 583 00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:01,040 translates correctly so um we're 584 00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,559 standing out in hard copy we're going to 585 00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:03,280 ask 586 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,440 them to then return to her 587 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,040 we don't want any 588 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:08,559 more 589 00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:10,000 challenges 590 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,280 you know if somebody's application 591 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,640 doesn't come through properly or 592 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,319 something like that so 593 00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:16,640 um and a lot of people can't do the 594 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,119 fillable pdf you'd be surprised 595 00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:22,000 so that was um that was you know as i 596 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,599 said i discussed with mike miss michael 597 00:50:23,599 --> 00:50:25,200 based on your recommendation and she 598 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,280 also got that as well and that was her 599 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:28,800 concern since she is the one who will 600 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,800 have to do the work on that okay i know 601 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,240 there were a couple of other questions 602 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,319 still um i 603 00:50:34,319 --> 00:50:36,079 do agree i think if we're going to have 604 00:50:36,079 --> 00:50:36,720 them 605 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:39,200 um last time we talked about folks 606 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,480 needing to reside in the city of 607 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,119 schenectady i think that should probably 608 00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:44,400 i think that should be right here that 609 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,510 should be a um 610 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,359 put that on there well it would be 611 00:50:49,359 --> 00:50:50,960 actually on the cover letter because 612 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,559 there'll be a cover letter over there so 613 00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:54,240 people know they won't even have to get 614 00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:55,520 to the application and once they reach 615 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,880 the cover letter they'll know this 616 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,240 doesn't apply to me i don't even need to 617 00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:00,400 go any further okay and then i just 618 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,720 really do think that probably asking mr 619 00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:05,040 colton to look at the pieces that are 620 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,720 more sort of legal 621 00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:09,440 um i think would be a good idea in terms 622 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,960 of the language that we put into this 623 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,640 well when i sent out the original email 624 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,319 i specifically asked mr colton to do 625 00:51:14,319 --> 00:51:15,440 that when i sent out the email that all 626 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,920 of you got i specifically said to said 627 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,839 mr andrew could you look at this though 628 00:51:19,839 --> 00:51:21,280 that was in there 629 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,559 i sent uh this afternoon i sent um 630 00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:26,240 proposed provisions to the conflict of 631 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:28,319 interest statement to ms mikey and 632 00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:30,160 president porterfield for their review 633 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,559 great thank you welcome 634 00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:36,319 thank you and that's the only thing that i had other 635 00:51:36,319 --> 00:51:38,319 than that so little ones little copy 636 00:51:38,319 --> 00:51:39,280 edits 637 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,760 we'll um so we'll incorporate um there 638 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,680 were other members who had some concerns 639 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,400 oh um i'll speak to this one which they 640 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,720 said about hobbies and interests so um 641 00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:51,440 part of it is um from i see this as 642 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,599 developing a volunteer base 643 00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:55,520 uh we made from some of these people who 644 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:56,880 send in their applications maybe people 645 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,240 that would eventually sit on other 646 00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:00,480 committees that when we have vacancies 647 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:01,520 because that's another conversation 648 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:02,400 we're gonna have to have a little bit 649 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,440 down the road in terms return fulfilling 650 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,480 vacancies 651 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,640 so having that information and it could 652 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,319 we could put it as optional which was a 653 00:52:08,319 --> 00:52:09,920 also recommendation one person just put 654 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,119 it as optional 655 00:52:11,119 --> 00:52:12,640 um that kind of gives us a little bit 656 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,119 more about people um we're not you know 657 00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:16,880 trying to you know we don't want to like 658 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,240 hang out with them necessarily or maybe 659 00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,400 we do but um but just to have that 660 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,000 information and and most people and that 661 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,280 to me is an easy part to fill out you 662 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,800 know what your hobbies and interests are 663 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,960 and again just to be able to have a base 664 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,480 of people that we can if they don't get 665 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,000 to sit on this committee because it's 666 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,160 conceivable if we get way too many right 667 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,400 now we're at 24 and we talked about 15. 668 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,559 um we could still have those people and 669 00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:37,760 then be able to reach out to them 670 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,359 because based on their interests would 671 00:52:39,359 --> 00:52:41,280 you be interested in sitting on this 672 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:42,880 committee or that committee so that's 673 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,880 just a way that we don't always have to 674 00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,480 start recruiting people and looking for 675 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,960 names when we have vacancies so 676 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,990 that was the thought behind that 677 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,640 my only concern was the last little bit 678 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,440 but i was waiting to see what the final 679 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:00,960 thing is because i knew it was being 680 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,319 worked out so 681 00:53:02,319 --> 00:53:04,800 otherwise i was relatively okay with you 682 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,400 know there are some typos and whatnot 683 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,280 that's easy to clean up 684 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,800 anything else 685 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,119 mr williams oh so just for clarification 686 00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:14,400 uh it's 24 687 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,040 names in total or is it 24 additional to 688 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,200 the 15 previously 689 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,240 total 690 00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:21,920 and then just a common more or less i 691 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,760 would just recommend having hard copies 692 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,280 available at city hall in case 693 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,880 individuals don't have access to the 694 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,599 internet and then i definitely i don't 695 00:53:29,599 --> 00:53:31,839 want to recommend uh additional actions 696 00:53:31,839 --> 00:53:33,440 if i'm not willing to put myself forward 697 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,599 so if anyone has any issues filling it 698 00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:38,079 out i will volunteer myself to get on 699 00:53:38,079 --> 00:53:40,160 the phone with you and help fell out 700 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,599 just to make sure everyone feels like 701 00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:42,720 they uh 702 00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:47,190 have their voice being considered 703 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,599 i'm not sure that we should probably 704 00:53:49,599 --> 00:53:50,880 offer that from you maybe that should 705 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,800 come from the staff or something 706 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,960 yeah i think that would be 707 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,240 i don't know it just seems like on the 708 00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:58,559 edge there 709 00:53:58,559 --> 00:54:01,040 yeah with a council member don't get it 710 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,119 and just to the earlier point i think if 711 00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:04,960 uh when ms michael gets the name she'll 712 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,359 be sending out the application so if we 713 00:54:07,359 --> 00:54:09,680 have extra hard copies available here 714 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,599 it's the same thing as having it on the 715 00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:13,680 website you know what i mean that um 716 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,839 other people passed the deadline of 717 00:54:15,839 --> 00:54:18,160 march 14th could just pick up the 718 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,000 hard copy so 719 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,839 sorry i've had a very hard kill yeah no 720 00:54:21,839 --> 00:54:24,559 i mean i'm feeling the same way um 721 00:54:24,559 --> 00:54:27,359 so anything further 722 00:54:27,359 --> 00:54:30,160 all right i'd like to go uh have a 723 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,800 motion to go into
