with panasonic 323 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:23,040 um we knew that we had about a three to 324 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,800 four year life 325 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,960 on the cameras themselves 326 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,599 we went fully deployed in 2019 327 00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:31,040 and three years 328 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,000 later we're in 2022 are expected by the 329 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,760 end of the year that 330 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,200 they are going to be at the end of their 331 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,760 life they're already out of warranty so 332 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,760 we're we're paying for the repairs as 333 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,200 they come up 334 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,880 additionally we've had some problems 335 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,560 with them um in the three and a half 336 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,800 years that we've been using them and 337 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,119 that's what forced me to start 338 00:41:51,119 --> 00:41:53,200 i should save me myself and the command 339 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,000 staff to start looking at other vendors 340 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,960 as we transition 341 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,640 staying with panasonic and just 342 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,480 refreshing with them is not an option 343 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:03,440 because 344 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,440 um they they sold their product to 345 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,920 another company they renamed it i pro 346 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,280 and we would literally we would have to 347 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,079 buy a whole new platform anyways because 348 00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:14,240 the docs that they go into in the cars 349 00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,880 no longer fit the product that they sell 350 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,560 so we're basically buying everything all 351 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,760 the way up 352 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,520 as we started looking at the different 353 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,520 products out there we realized that four 354 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,000 years later technology has advanced 355 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,800 everything's gotten better and cheaper 356 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,400 we are a uh a customer already of axon 357 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,319 which makes our tasers 358 00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:35,680 so we started looking at them a little 359 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,079 bit closer and what i quickly realized 360 00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:39,280 is that 361 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,520 they're an industry leader in this space 362 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,640 they bring 363 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,079 technology to each individual component 364 00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:48,880 that really no other competitor brings 365 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,480 as we started conversations with the 366 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,760 sales representatives who are here 367 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,920 tonight we realize that they actually 368 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,760 bundle everything together and when they 369 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,720 bundle it together there's cost savings 370 00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:01,839 and there's benefits to where that 371 00:43:01,839 --> 00:43:04,480 digital evidence goes which is uh to a 372 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,359 cloud-based platform called evidence.com 373 00:43:07,359 --> 00:43:09,280 and there's many benefits that come to 374 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,880 using that 375 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,520 on our end and with everybody that we 376 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,800 interact with from the district 377 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,880 attorney's office to public defender's 378 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,119 office defense attorneys 379 00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:20,400 um 380 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,200 and even citizens and their ability to 381 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,599 send us video that

and so this bundling the officer safety 422 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,720 plan that we're going to go through 423 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:46,000 or we're going to highlight some of the 424 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,359 key elements of it why it's important 425 00:44:49,359 --> 00:44:50,720 doug's going to touch upon a little bit 426 00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:52,480 around the taser seven and then we'll 427 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,000 open it up you know for any questions 428 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,760 that you may have so you know with that 429 00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:58,880 really 430 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,119 one of the key elements is going to be 431 00:45:01,119 --> 00:45:03,440 really the body camera and that's what 432 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,440 the officer is wearing today you know 433 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,280 you have a body camera we'll talk about 434 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,440 the axon body three 435 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:10,880 better protecting 436 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,319 making sure we're not missing those 437 00:45:12,319 --> 00:45:13,760 critical moments 438 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:14,800 we've got 439 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,280 the camera that has the ability 440 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,160 to you'll see shortly turn on based on 441 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,079 critical events so if the weapon is 442 00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:24,880 drawn if the taser comes off of safety 443 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,520 the light bar on the patrol car goes on 444 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,520 we have the ability to you know start 445 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,800 this camera 446 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,880 the camera has a built-in buffer so 447 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,200 we're never going to miss a moment 448 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,160 we can go back up to 18 hours 449 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,200 to 450 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,440 grab that footage should an officer not 451 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,599 activate his or her body camera it's one 452 00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:47,200 of the key features here and this is 453 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:48,640 the first ruggedized body camera in the 454 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,680 market that has embedded lte so 455 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,839 being able to do things like where is my 456 00:45:53,839 --> 00:45:54,880 officer 457 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,640 on a mask who what are some of the 458 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,200 officers around her and 459 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,440 be able to live stream to see what 460 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,760 they're seeing so you can make the best 461 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,160 life-saving decisions for all involved 462 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,839 in the incident from this camera so 463 00:46:09,839 --> 00:46:12,319 uh on the next slide kind of lays out 464 00:46:12,319 --> 00:46:15,280 what i mentioned around the activation 465 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:16,880 of these cameras the auto activations 466 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,880 this is a technology that's 467 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,760 not deployed within the current platform 468 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,000 for the city and these are critical 469 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,040 officer 470 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,000 safety 471 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,359 features that are going to ensure the 472 00:46:27,359 --> 00:46:29,520 camera activates the first one is signal 473 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,480 sidearm small sensor on 474 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,040 the holster when a weapon's drawn that 475 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,920 body camera axon body cameras in-car 476 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:38,880 cameras 477 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,640 are going to start activating they're 478 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,720 going to start recording based on that 479 00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:44,240 action 480 00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:46,400 the second one 481 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,720 is axons 482 00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:49,760 signal 483 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,319 for the teaser sentence so on the next 484 00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:54,160 slide you'll see 485 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,079 when a taser you saw the weapon being 486 00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:58,160 drawn specifically with a taser when 487 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,240 that taser is taken off of safety so 488 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:01,760 it's energized 489 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,079 we're going to emit that same burst 490 00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:06,880 and what that's going to do is again 491 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040 push that bubble out turn on cameras 492 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,839 within a 35 foot radius and continue for 493 00:47:11,839 --> 00:47:14,079 30 seconds to ensure 494 00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:16,319 anyone here on scene is actively you 495 00:47:16,319 --> 00:47:17,839 know recording so 496 00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:18,720 just 497 00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:20,559 quickly kind of demo that jug has a 498 00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:22,880 teaser with inner cartridges but he will 499 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,559 just power it on 500 00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:27,200 and this camera which was in a buffer 501 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,520 mode goes on and buffering you see here 502 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,319 now i'm blinking red i'm actively 503 00:47:32,319 --> 00:47:33,680 recording 504 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,520 and i've captured going back 30 seconds 505 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,359 what happened and now i'm actively 506 00:47:39,359 --> 00:47:40,800 recording and capturing that here on 507 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,559 this camera so i'm going to go ahead and 508 00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:45,119 end that recording 509 00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:47,280 the next step on this camera 510 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,599 talked about lte so this camera is now 511 00:47:49,599 --> 00:47:51,200 actively recording 512 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,480 but what it's also doing is 513 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,319 communicating in real time 514 00:47:54,319 --> 00:47:57,200 back to the police department that a 515 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,240 weapon 516 00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:01,359 was taken off of safety or a weapon was 517 00:48:01,359 --> 00:48:03,280 drawn or see that was taken off safety 518 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,920 and so that provides an alert that then 519 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,319 provides the ability for law enforcement 520 00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:10,559 to be able to live stream in on this 521 00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:12,640 camera to be able to see you know what 522 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,480 is unfolding in front of officer agreed 523 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,480 us so that is providing you know help 524 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,720 when it is needed needed where is my 525 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:20,800 officer you know how could i best 526 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,000 respond 527 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,520 to them 528 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,680 and then i'm going to end this recording 529 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,200 really quickly 530 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,960 i have the ability 531 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,400 from this camera 532 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,520 to offload that video immediately 533 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,359 to secure cloud storage so now it can be 534 00:48:37,359 --> 00:48:39,920 reviewed and started to be digested 535 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,599 along with other evidence captured from 536 00:48:41,599 --> 00:48:43,599 the axon in car 537 00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:46,800 in near real time on the back end system 538 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,640 so that's you know some of the key 539 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,079 features of the axon body camera as well 540 00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:58,150 as signal and respond 541 00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,920 in addition to the hardware specifically 542 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,440 the body camera 543 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,280 we have 544 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,640 built in 545 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,480 complete fixed cost 546 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:07,839 packages 547 00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:08,880 for 548 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,880 refreshments of the body cameras and the 549 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,720 docks so they come with five years 550 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,800 warranty each you can talk about hey 551 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,240 they have come up on in the life and 552 00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:18,240 typically significant cost increases to 553 00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:20,880 keep refreshing these technologies we've 554 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,599 built in the program to refreshes of 555 00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:26,000 cameras and docks so you're insulating 556 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,280 yourself from you know technology 557 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,960 costs that do typically go up 558 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,200 on the hardware side of this and then we 559 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,599 also provide these software components 560 00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:39,200 for our officers to 561 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,920 be able to use mobile apps to tag their 562 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:42,880 videos 563 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,800 in this case we're going to be 564 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,880 automatically tagging the officers 565 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,880 videos for them so tagging is very 566 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:49,920 simply 567 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,520 making you know titling as a traffic 568 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,839 stop so we know how long to keep it that 569 00:49:53,839 --> 00:49:56,720 takes time to every call for service 570 00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:57,760 while we're able to do that 571 00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:58,800 automatically because we're going to 572 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,359 talk to can rms and save that officer 573 00:50:01,359 --> 00:50:03,599 time the detective's time and make sure 574 00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:04,960 that evidence is 575 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,520 correctly categorized and managed within 576 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:08,880 the system 577 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,480 through both an app and then 578 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,559 automatically 579 00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:14,319 a lot of what you're going to talk about 580 00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:16,800 now once you get to be on axon fleet 3 581 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,960 which is completely integrated with the 582 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,240 body camera 583 00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:22,079 so 584 00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:23,920 you have it in car solution today 585 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,280 separately agencies have you know alpr 586 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,359 they're really beholden to 587 00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:31,200 a significant spend and they're able to 588 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,119 do like four vehicles 589 00:50:33,119 --> 00:50:34,720 what axon's done and you can see our 590 00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:36,960 dash camera actually has two lenses 591 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,200 is we're not only capturing the video of 592 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,880 the dash of the vehicle 593 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,960 as well as backseat camera view 594 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,960 but that second lens looking forward is 595 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,119 doing real-time alpr 596 00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:49,920 and we're able to do it for every 597 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,359 vehicle 598 00:50:51,359 --> 00:50:52,880 rather than just four 599 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,559 so these are you know real-time alerts 600 00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:57,119 from hotlist so officers can get alerts 601 00:50:57,119 --> 00:50:58,960 when you know certain 602 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,800 different 603 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,400 hits are made off of 604 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,079 specific lists 605 00:51:04,079 --> 00:51:06,720 for bad guys so that's going to enable 606 00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:08,800 safer streets safer communities you know 607 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,680 with that real-time alpr with axon 608 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,580 in-car 609 00:51:13,580 --> 00:51:15,440 [Music] 610 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,359 i think i typically 611 00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:21,750 cover both on that one 612 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,720 all of this evidence um the in-car the 613 00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,240 body cameras 614 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:28,480 axon interview room as well 615 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,880 feed to a central back-end system and 616 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:32,559 this is where 617 00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:34,800 everything gets streamlined 618 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,079 everything is secure this is essentially 619 00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:40,480 a seizures very secure environment 620 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,200 hosted environment where you can 621 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,800 bring it automatically up back some 622 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,319 things are going to upload but you can 623 00:51:46,319 --> 00:51:48,480 bring and click and drag in all types of 624 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:53,359 video from bodegas cctv security tv 625 00:51:53,359 --> 00:51:55,440 citizens videos you're going to be 626 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,200 managing your cases there you'll be able 627 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,960 to securely share them 628 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,040 with partner agencies such as the new 629 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,559 york state police who are running this 630 00:52:02,559 --> 00:52:04,640 exact program 631 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,319 as well as many other agencies 632 00:52:06,319 --> 00:52:07,920 throughout the region 633 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,440 so within evidence.com we've got tools 634 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,079 specifically for redaction 635 00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:15,680 you know automating processes to redact 636 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:16,960 these videos 637 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,520 so varying different stakeholders 638 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,760 from what we call capture which is you 639 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,520 know as an officer going here

00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,520 you know a defense attorney somebody who 644 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:31,599 needs this for a foia request without 645 00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:34,079 burning dvds and driving them doing all 646 00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:36,559 those significant you know time 647 00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:39,920 spent uh workflows today so 648 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,480 second thing with evidence.com 649 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:43,680 is 650 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,720 the complete unlimited cloud storage 651 00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:48,160 the sieges 652 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,559 security provided by our partners 653 00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:52,720 microsoft azure within their cg skills 654 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:53,599 lab 655 00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:54,559 and 656 00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:56,400 axons of security 657 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,800 so we're taking on the risk of you know 658 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,119 malware ransomware and housing and 659 00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:03,359 protecting you know that precious asset 660 00:53:03,359 --> 00:53:04,559 if you will 661 00:53:04,559 --> 00:53:05,599 so 662 00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:06,800 um 663 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,040 i'm going to move on to the next slide 664 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:09,920 that 665 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,920 automates the redaction so the blurring 666 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,040 of faces the ability to 667 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,800 frame by frame 668 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,319 track and ensure that an audio element a 669 00:53:20,319 --> 00:53:23,040 screen is not part of the video 670 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,319 the solution goes as far as to use tools 671 00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:29,839 we've test an ai engine just to go in 672 00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:32,079 and identify certain things that are 673 00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:33,359 majority 674 00:53:33,359 --> 00:53:35,599 that are redacted such as faces 675 00:53:35,599 --> 00:53:37,119 mdt screens 676 00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:39,520 and license plates and it's going to go 677 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,680 do that huge time savings for those who 678 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:42,480 have to 679 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:47,829 you know manage through that 680 00:53:47,839 --> 00:53:49,520 because we're cloud-based we're able to 681 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,200 introduce a lot of elements of 682 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,599 additional ways to get better richer 683 00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:58,240 evidence faster while on scene 684 00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,000 to better solve that 685 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,400 incident that murder would ever be much 686 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,319 quicker so 687 00:54:04,319 --> 00:54:06,400 things like an app called axon capture 688 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,480 so additional photos and videos for 689 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,040 detectives can be captured 690 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,200 um this is a great tool during code 691 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,640 where we're doing you know 692 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,040 audio statements not having the person 693 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,880 come into the pd but then doing a front 694 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,240 portion of the phone there and having a 695 00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,720 conversation you know social distance 696 00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:24,640 that is part of this as well so we're 697 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,040 getting additional photos those offload 698 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,359 directly up into evidence.com 699 00:54:29,359 --> 00:54:31,359 and then on the next slide 700 00:54:31,359 --> 00:54:32,800 uh 701 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,640 capturing evidence again from that 702 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,880 bodega cctv from a suspect who may have 703 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,920 it on their phone we've got axon citizen 704 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,160 which will enable a very quick 705 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,480 on-scene through the mtt in the vehicle 706 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,480 or through a mobile app the ability to 707 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,839 send a text message or an email 708 00:54:49,839 --> 00:54:51,599 you know auto-generated you know phone 709 00:54:51,599 --> 00:54:52,400 number 710 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,720 to an individual that says thank you for 711 00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:57,359 you know helping connect to dpd 712 00:54:57,359 --> 00:54:59,280 you know share you unanimously if you 713 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,520 want more names this particular 714 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,040 um 715 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,799 incident you have on your phone you know 716 00:55:04,799 --> 00:55:06,960 so previously taking that phone off of 717 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,599 that suspect that witnessed excuse me 718 00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:11,760 taking that and having to upload it take 719 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,920 their phone giving it back um not a 720 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,359 process that anybody wants to go through 721 00:55:15,359 --> 00:55:16,720 this is a quick tool that allows you to 722 00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:18,640 send a text message they pick the one or 723 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,559 two pictures and they send it to you it 724 00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:22,799 goes directly up as part of the case 725 00:55:22,799 --> 00:55:24,000 within a matter of minutes while you're 726 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,920 still on scene or after the fact so that's a 727 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,119 um 728 00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:31,920 a really really time savings you know 729 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,240 couple of click tool that has been just 730 00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:35,680 a huge change 731 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,359 for agencies who are 732 00:55:37,359 --> 00:55:38,559 not only just looking to go buy another 733 00:55:38,559 --> 00:55:40,559 set of cameras those set of in-car but 734 00:55:40,559 --> 00:55:43,760 really transform how they're doing 735 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,839 and managing digital evidence because 736 00:55:45,839 --> 00:55:47,520 it's not going away it's only becoming 737 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,240 more burdensome in the amount of which 738 00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,839 is out there and they are critical to 739 00:55:51,839 --> 00:55:53,119 all cases 740 00:55:53,119 --> 00:55:56,789 so 741 00:55:56,799 --> 00:55:59,280 there's a process that agencies have 742 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:00,000 where 743 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,480 you know you've invested in body cameras 744 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,480 and car solutions 745 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,559 how do we know we're getting our money's 746 00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:07,839 worth because how do we know it's being 747 00:56:07,839 --> 00:56:09,760 used and typically it's a manual process 748 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,760 randomly we look at videos 749 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,839 see look at calls for service was there 750 00:56:13,839 --> 00:56:15,920 videos that's time consuming in itself 751 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,599 we've heard from agencies can you 752 00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:19,040 automate this and that's what actual 753 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,200 performance does it's 754 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,119 a analytics tool that sits over the 755 00:56:23,119 --> 00:56:26,000 system that'll show you in real time 756 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,400 all your calls for service 757 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,400 but that's great show me all the calls 758 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:31,440 for service where there's no 759 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,520 corresponding body camera footage 760 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,440 who did not turn their you know camera 761 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,359 on and so you'll be able to see that 762 00:56:37,359 --> 00:56:38,880 specifically from 763 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,040 the reports and for the analytics that 764 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,119 are provided through these interactive 765 00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:44,960 dynamic graphs 766 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,880 also activation rates i'm getting kind 767 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,960 of in the weeds here but are the cameras 768 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,400 being used who's not leaving their 769 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,480 camera on full shift and who's turning 770 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,640 off a lot of times before they leave 771 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,960 between when they get back 772 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,799 who's not docking their cameras who's 773 00:56:58,799 --> 00:57:00,960 not spark testing their teasers 774 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,640 and then it also 775 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,200 automates the video review process so 776 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:06,559 you know command needs to look at four 777 00:57:06,559 --> 00:57:08,319 videos a month it'll automate that send 778 00:57:08,319 --> 00:57:10,319 them an email pick those four randomly 779 00:57:10,319 --> 00:57:12,880 and flow them through a review so 780 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,000 that is a you know a key metric for 781 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,440 understanding you know making this 782 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,119 investment how do we use it 783 00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:23,119 i'm going to pass it over to 784 00:57:23,119 --> 00:57:25,040 doug now just to cover a little bit 785 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,319 around taser 7. again 786 00:57:28,319 --> 00:57:29,359 these are 787 00:57:29,359 --> 00:57:32,240 deployed at a smaller number here 788 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,160 and you know along with the proposed 789 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,079 package would be you know providing 790 00:57:36,079 --> 00:57:46,230 these a tool to all officers 791 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,520 the seventh generation of our taser 792 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,119 weapon 793 00:57:49,119 --> 00:57:50,720 when we built taser 7 we built it on 794 00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,960 three colors i'll touch on each of those 795 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,559 we built it first on 796 00:57:54,559 --> 00:57:57,200 confidence next on connectivity and the 797 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,520 last on community so for confidence we 798 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,280 want to give our officers the best tool 799 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,119 that we have out there to give them the 800 00:58:03,119 --> 00:58:05,119 confidence in the job effectively and 801 00:58:05,119 --> 00:58:07,440 have the best in the escalation right 802 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,599 um this this taser is the first of its 803 00:58:09,599 --> 00:58:11,280 kind to have two different types of 804 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,359 cartridges these cartridges can fire the 805 00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:16,480 table between four and 24 feet 806 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:17,920 tasers in the past 807 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:19,839 the minimum distance to be fired was at 808 00:58:19,839 --> 00:58:21,680 eight feet and as you can imagine 809 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,839 generally speaking our conversations are 810 00:58:23,839 --> 00:58:26,000 usually between four and five feet so it 811 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,599 was uh something that needed to be 812 00:58:27,599 --> 00:58:28,880 adjusted from the taser weapons 813 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:29,920 standpoint 814 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,559 um correctly that uh from a connectivity 815 00:58:32,559 --> 00:58:33,599 standpoint 816 00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:35,119 uh we finally have a rechargeable 817 00:58:35,119 --> 00:58:36,559 battery right so these batteries will 818 00:58:36,559 --> 00:58:38,720 last all five years it's a five year 819 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,119 life expectancy for our taser weapons uh 820 00:58:41,119 --> 00:58:42,480 in the event that anything were to go 821 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,720 wrong with the batteries with the tasers 822 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,720 with the docking stations all of that is 823 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,720 covered with our full five-year warranty 824 00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,480 uh this is also going to give each 825 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,359 officer their own taser right 826 00:58:53,359 --> 00:58:55,920 we supply all the training cartridges 827 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,640 for the full five years for each officer 828 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,760 we include all of their duty cartridges 829 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,839 we include from the community standpoint 830 00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:05,680 also so that's an afterthought we're 831 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,040 hooking new trainings to it's basically 832 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:08,960 a full velcro suit so we're doing 833 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,280 scenario-based training uh an officer 834 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,240 can approach i'm sorry as a 835 00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:15,920 training officer can approach 836 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,000 uh an officer would say a knife or be 837 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,280 suicidal and we can do it through all 838 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,720 different types of drills when to use a 839 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,559 taser so when the time comes they can 840 00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:24,559 actually use it in the field and have 841 00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:26,799 more real-life examples 842 00:59:26,799 --> 00:59:27,760 um 843 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,520 another thing i'll touch on here i think 844 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,559 the next one is probably the vr 845 00:59:32,559 --> 00:59:34,319 so we tied together our virtual reality 846 00:59:34,319 --> 00:59:36,559 training with our taser 7. so the 847 00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:38,640 agency's current tasers actually already 848 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,400 work with our vr system 849 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,240 we have three different types of tools 850 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,880 that we that we built into our vr system 851 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,440 one is uh your basic 852 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,079 uh online based um 853 00:59:50,079 --> 00:59:53,280 courses yeah about 45 minutes of each 854 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,200 one of our modules the different types 855 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,280 of modules we have vary anywhere from 856 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,760 schizophrenia to 857 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,280 uh to 858 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,200 uh 859 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,920 we have peer intervention uh 860 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,079 domestic violence our commitment to the 861 01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:09,520 agency is to produce one of these every 862 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,359 single month uh so they're gonna get our 863 01:00:11,359 --> 01:00:14,240 full library of uh virtuality 864 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,880 community-based training scenarios along 865 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,280 with that we'll also get our simulation 866 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,680 simulator modules so we create one of 867 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,000 those every two months and then we dump 868 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,599 it out to the agency so this is more 869 01:00:25,599 --> 01:00:27,200 where it's instructor-led 870 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,319 oregon b 871 01:00:28,319 --> 01:00:30,079 we have artificial intelligence that's 872 01:00:30,079 --> 01:00:31,920 driving this so as you see the 873 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,319 instructor has a tablet 874 01:00:34,319 --> 01:00:36,880 we can change it by gender race 875 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,119 have this be an assault no assault all 876 01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:41,440 this is configurable within the system 877 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:42,640 we have 878 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:43,520 uh 879 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:44,960 virtual reality training cartridges that 880 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,599 will turn this case taser into a vr 881 01:00:47,599 --> 01:00:48,640 taser 882 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:49,920 so it takes away the functionality of 883 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,040 the real world 884 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,760 makes it uh suitable just for the vr uh 885 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,440 the r world has anybody ever used a 886 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:56,799 personality that i thought should have 887 01:00:56,799 --> 01:00:58,480 asked that 888 01:00:58,480 --> 01:00:59,920 if you haven't you're important 889 01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:01,760 experience we this is a great community 890 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,119 tool too because it gives you it gives 891 01:01:03,119 --> 01:01:04,480 everybody the opportunity to really see 892 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,400 what our officers go through 893 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:07,599 and getting back to the community 894 01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:09,119 engaged modules 895 01:01:09,119 --> 01:01:10,400 our officers are going they're 896 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:11,760 experiencing what it's like to be 897 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,000 autistic or schizophrenic or 898 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,079 um 899 01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:17,599 be hard of hearing right so they're 900 01:01:17,599 --> 01:01:18,799 experiencing that for a couple of 901 01:01:18,799 --> 01:01:20,960 minutes and then we flip it and they're 902 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,480 the opposite interacting with that with 903 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:23,839 that person so we're seeing it from both 904 01:01:23,839 --> 01:01:26,079 lenses and it gives them that experience 905 01:01:26,079 --> 01:01:27,599 it's it's great it's a great community 906 01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:29,040 tool tool too 907 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,280 we've had agencies using in schools 908 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,839 at uh career days at fairs 909 01:01:33,839 --> 01:01:35,440 just to you know give the public an idea 910 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,440 of who the police are working with on a daily basis 911 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,450 but 912 01:01:41,450 --> 01:01:43,599 [Music] 913 01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:45,599 short high level on the taser vr side 914 01:01:45,599 --> 01:01:47,920 anybody any questions on the taser or vr 915 01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,839 i kind of breeze through it but happy to 916 01:01:49,839 --> 01:01:51,599 answer any questions 917 01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:52,400 yeah 918 01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,480 so um i've heard of instances where 919 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,880 tasers where people have health issues 920 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,599 and then they've been tased and had a 921 01:01:59,599 --> 01:02:01,839 negative outcome yeah so 922 01:02:01,839 --> 01:02:03,280 can you talk about 923 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,680 it's a great question so we 924 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,280 during the training there are certain 925 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:11,359 areas that are more suitable to be like 926 01:02:11,359 --> 01:02:13,280 hit with a taser obviously the heart is 927 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:14,640 an area we want to stay away from the 928 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,200 neck the head area um 929 01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:19,119 a little bit below the waist we want to 930 01:02:19,119 --> 01:02:22,160 split the belt line so in a optimal 931 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:23,280 teasing 932 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:38,710 uh we want to essentially um 933 01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,240 we're gonna we're gonna fire two darts 934 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:41,599 the one is from the top the one is from 935 01:02:41,599 --> 01:02:43,520 the bottom i promise you after five 936 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:44,559 seconds you don't even know what hey 937 01:02:44,559 --> 01:02:45,920 this camera turned on recording 938 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,000 everything's done 939 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:49,839 but i want to split the belt line right 940 01:02:49,839 --> 01:02:50,559 so 941 01:02:50,559 --> 01:02:52,000 one of the neat things with the taser 942 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,400 weapons is the only area that is 943 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,079 actually being locked up is the area 944 01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:58,799 between where these two lasers are 945 01:02:58,799 --> 01:03:00,319 everything else is a sympathetic 946 01:03:00,319 --> 01:03:02,559 reaction i can tell you from experience 947 01:03:02,559 --> 01:03:04,319 that you feel it from your head to your 948 01:03:04,319 --> 01:03:06,319 toes but after the five seconds are up 949 01:03:06,319 --> 01:03:08,880 it's five seconds from the time that the 950 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,079 trigger is pulled until the time it 951 01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:11,760 stops 952 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,520 you really don't feel anything i mean 953 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,440 being a little sore from where the darts 954 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,440 hit um 955 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:18,160 but 956 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,760 everybody's going home 957 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,280 the only outcome is that and i'll bring 958 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:22,480 this up because 959 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,880 due to the question so when the subject 960 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,359 falls we've had instances um in that 961 01:03:27,359 --> 01:03:29,280 regard where they fall and they hit say 962 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,480 a curb or concrete or if they're running 963 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,400 you know there's 964 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:35,680 obviously there's 965 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,920 optimal situations to tase in and 966 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,920 there's some that could be a little 967 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:41,200 questionable 968 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,559 but generally speaking that's where 969 01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:44,240 we've seen some a lot of a lot of 970 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,319 dangers and if it were to hit the heart 971 01:03:46,319 --> 01:03:48,000 there is a slight chance especially if 972 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000 they have our condition but we train not 973 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,599 to 974 01:03:51,599 --> 01:03:54,480 fire in certain areas um 975 01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:55,920 another component of the virtual reality 976 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,280 this gives them the opportunity without 977 01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:58,559 spending you know 978 01:03:58,559 --> 01:04:00,079 loads of money on cartridges to be able 979 01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:01,680 to fire a taser as many times as you 980 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,520 want and they get that training in a 981 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,680 virtual world 982 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,359 also with the simulation suit that 983 01:04:07,359 --> 01:04:08,559 lawsuit 984 01:04:08,559 --> 01:04:09,839 this gives them the opportunity to fire 985 01:04:09,839 --> 01:04:12,480 live card which is in a live setting um 986 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,119 you know and training that platform 987 01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:17,440 thank you yeah the question so i know in 988 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,280 previous models of the tasers it would 989 01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:20,960 cycle so like you'd have like that five 990 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,960 seconds yeah then it would like maybe two seconds or something i 991 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,240 don't know what the time period is but 992 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,640 then it would like give another 993 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,480 uh so you can re-energize yeah we call 994 01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,880 it re-energizing so it's gonna i'll show 995 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,480 you real quick here so 996 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:35,839 we have this built-in it's an automatic 997 01:04:35,839 --> 01:04:37,280 shut-off for five seconds so if i pull 998 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:43,349 the trigger 999 01:04:43,359 --> 01:04:44,559 it's probably a little hard to hear over 1000 01:04:44,559 --> 01:04:46,160 the bolts but you hear that little 1001 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:47,359 beeping sound 1002 01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:49,119 now if i wanted to re-energize i can do 1003 01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:50,240 that it's gonna give another five 1004 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:51,599 seconds 1005 01:04:51,599 --> 01:04:53,200 okay but you have to do that manually 1006 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,359 correct and all of that is recorded so 1007 01:04:55,359 --> 01:04:56,880 you can go back in evidence.com and 1008 01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,720 anytime that trigger is full or even in 1009 01:04:58,720 --> 01:04:59,839 performance we've been spoken about 1010 01:04:59,839 --> 01:05:01,760 before uh we have four different types 1011 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,680 of metrics that we record for the tasers 1012 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,280 uh one is anytime it's taken off a 1013 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,200 safety another time is any time the arc 1014 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,799 switch is full this is the r switch 1015 01:05:08,799 --> 01:05:10,559 right here so this gives the officer you 1016 01:05:10,559 --> 01:05:13,839 know the opportunity to say uh taser 1017 01:05:13,839 --> 01:05:16,720 show the show the volts um all that's 1018 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,119 recorded anytime i pull the trigger all 1019 01:05:19,119 --> 01:05:21,200 that's recorded and anytime i deploy the 1020 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,039 cartridges that's required too 1021 01:05:23,039 --> 01:05:24,400 you said you got two different type of 1022 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,680 cartridges yeah what's the difference so 1023 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,440 i pull these out here 1024 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,440 this is our close quarter cartridge so 1025 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,119 that is designed to be fire between four 1026 01:05:33,119 --> 01:05:34,400 and ten feet 1027 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:35,920 and then this is our standoff cartridge 1028 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,119 they go together like legolas you can 1029 01:05:37,119 --> 01:05:39,760 just piece them together oh okay um just 1030 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,680 the lighters have to be up but they uh 1031 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,680 they stand out fires between 10 10 and 1032 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,839 24 feet now i'll show you something neat 1033 01:05:45,839 --> 01:05:49,520 with this so if i put these in the taser 1034 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,359 so i have my close quarter 1035 01:05:51,359 --> 01:05:53,280 loaded in day one sorry man i can use 1036 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:54,720 you again 1037 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,559 so we call this tilt select 1038 01:05:56,559 --> 01:05:59,200 so say uh i need to back up and pull out 1039 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,799 a knife what i'm going to do is i'm 1040 01:06:00,799 --> 01:06:01,920 going to take the taser and i'm going to 1041 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,240 tilt it to a quick 90 degree click on my 1042 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,480 wrist pretty much 1043 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,599 notice how those probes got tighter 1044 01:06:09,599 --> 01:06:11,440 now if i needed to advance on them i 1045 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,520 could do the same thing here 1046 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:14,960 now that i have the post quarter part 1047 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:16,240 again 1048 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,400 also that switch switched on switches 1049 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,640 the cartridge itself yeah we toggle we can go back and forth 1050 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,160 between cartridge base 1051 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,440 um we see uh on the back which is our uh 1052 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,680 our cid screen it shows a line under 1053 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:34,309 which which bay it's in 1054 01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:35,680 is that an actual switch or just you 1055 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,280 moving your wrist this is me moving 1056 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:38,640 around you want to drive no it's pretty 1057 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:45,109 neat 1058 01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:47,119 just a quick back start on this so the 1059 01:06:47,119 --> 01:06:49,280 taser has to be for the most part um 1060 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:50,880 pretty upright and it has to be done 1061 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:52,480 within a second and we do that in the 1062 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,160 event that that officer was running with 1063 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:55,680 a taser we can't do this by accident it 1064 01:06:55,680 --> 01:07:00,390 has to be a force movement 1065 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,280 so do you have capability with the laser 1066 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:04,240 to 1067 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,359 tell the distance so the cartridge 1068 01:07:07,359 --> 01:07:09,839 shoots automatically the correct one not 1069 01:07:09,839 --> 01:07:13,119 yet so yeah that's refraining comes in 1070 01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:15,520 um generally speaking though if you have 1071 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:16,960 you know agencies will load their 1072 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:18,319 cartridges one way or another you're 1073 01:07:18,319 --> 01:07:20,160 either gonna load it both close quarter 1074 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:21,520 both standoff 1075 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,119 close quarters standoff or stand up 1076 01:07:23,119 --> 01:07:25,359 close quarter 1077 01:07:25,359 --> 01:07:27,520 it's for the most part that's the way 1078 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,160 agencies set their cartridges up um if 1079 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:31,680 i'm at 10 feet with a close quarter 1080 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,520 cartridge you'll see i'm going to have 1081 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,680 two and a half feet of probe spread 1082 01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:36,640 and that's going to be a pretty 1083 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,960 difficult shot 1084 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,160 now you're still hitting still be 1085 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:41,680 effective now the nice thing with this 1086 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,359 taser is this has two bays so in the 1087 01:07:43,359 --> 01:07:45,359 event that i even missed say if i missed 1088 01:07:45,359 --> 01:07:47,359 that right one see or 1089 01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:49,839 i'm sort of pointing the chief but 1090 01:07:49,839 --> 01:07:52,160 now if i missed that bottom one right 1091 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,799 and then i fired the second bag 1092 01:07:54,799 --> 01:07:56,960 but i landed the bottom one there 1093 01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:58,960 so i fired i landed one on the top from 1094 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,400 the first big one on the bottom from the 1095 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,400 second bag 1096 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,039 i just got to get out of the laser 1097 01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:06,559 after we just got lasik surgery two 1098 01:08:06,559 --> 01:08:08,789 weeks 1099 01:08:08,799 --> 01:08:10,559 but we'd still get a solid connection i 1100 01:08:10,559 --> 01:08:12,319 just need a positive and negative so 1101 01:08:12,319 --> 01:08:13,520 this gives our officers another 1102 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,440 opportunity um 1103 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,759 you know to avoid having to use uh 1104 01:08:17,759 --> 01:08:20,400 through the force right um this is 1105 01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:21,520 essentially the 1106 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,759 in between of all that right we have 1107 01:08:23,759 --> 01:08:25,120 hands on we have a taser and we have 1108 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,679 lethal force um 1109 01:08:27,679 --> 01:08:29,920 i have two two cartridges in my taser if 1110 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,120 i'm able to 1111 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,359 use the taser and avoid that another 1112 01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:34,640 pretty cool stat that we have that isn't 1113 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,000 spoken about a lot 1114 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:36,799 so 1115 01:08:36,799 --> 01:08:40,719 75 to 80 of all deployments nationwide 1116 01:08:40,719 --> 01:08:43,199 or taser uses uh nationwide are without 1117 01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:44,640 a trigger poll it's the presence of a 1118 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,640 taser or just displaying the 1119 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,799 um the electricity from the art switch 1120 01:08:48,799 --> 01:08:50,799 without having to pull the trigger 1121 01:08:50,799 --> 01:08:52,560 so it's only one in five and this is 1122 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,480 from 25 plus years of data that we 1123 01:08:54,480 --> 01:08:55,679 collected 1124 01:08:55,679 --> 01:08:56,560 um 1125 01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,490 that we've compiled there 1126 01:08:59,490 --> 01:09:00,719 [Music] 1127 01:09:00,719 --> 01:09:02,640 so i definitely applaud your agency for 1128 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,279 applying or 1129 01:09:05,279 --> 01:09:06,960 providing the community engagement 1130 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:08,799 trainings i just wanted to know have 1131 01:09:08,799 --> 01:09:10,159 they been 1132 01:09:10,159 --> 01:09:12,480 approved or reviewed by any health care 1133 01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:14,560 institutions just for their authenticity 1134 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,080 yeah we have a great question we have a 1135 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:17,440 whole team of subject matter experts 1136 01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:20,239 from universities to police departments 1137 01:09:20,239 --> 01:09:22,239 retired sheriffs furnitures retired 1138 01:09:22,239 --> 01:09:25,430 chiefs current chiefs 1139 01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:27,759 professors from i think was it ucla i 1140 01:09:27,759 --> 01:09:29,440 think a few of them 1141 01:09:29,440 --> 01:09:30,719 but yeah there's a whole team of subject 1142 01:09:30,719 --> 01:09:31,920 matter experts that are getting all of 1143 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:33,759 this information out we are eventually 1144 01:09:33,759 --> 01:09:35,040 going to be accredited we're able to use 1145 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:36,880 this for actual training to receive 1146 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,839 credit hours it's part of the roadmap we 1147 01:09:39,839 --> 01:09:41,600 so we just launched the simulator 1148 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:42,640 portion we've had the community 1149 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,080 engagement part out for about two years 1150 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:44,960 now 1151 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:46,159 the simulator we just wanted to make 1152 01:09:46,159 --> 01:09:47,600 sure it was perfect before we finally 1153 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,120 launched it and we launched it a couple 1154 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,120 weeks ago out of our uh you know the big 1155 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:52,239 public safety conference called 1156 01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:53,920 accelerate up in arizona that just 1157 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,189 officially launched it 1158 01:09:57,199 --> 01:09:58,560 so um 1159 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,239 this is a little bit more about kind of 1160 01:10:00,239 --> 01:10:01,840 going back to the body cam because i'm 1161 01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:02,960 really impressed with the way they work 1162 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:07,199 together i think that that's really great tool um 1163 01:10:07,199 --> 01:10:09,840 with the unlimited cloud storage 1164 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:11,360 um that would 1165 01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,280 essentially say like officers can leave 1166 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,760 their body cam on their entire shift 1167 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,199 right like to wear a previously you 1168 01:10:17,199 --> 01:10:19,280 might have to be more mindful of that 1169 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:20,880 right 1170 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,080 correct 1171 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,120 um 1172 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:24,480 you're still definitely going to use 1173 01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:26,480 this camera and activate the camera for 1174 01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:28,320 the policy so the toss isn't necessarily 1175 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:29,679 changed 1176 01:10:29,679 --> 01:10:32,239 because the storage program changes 1177 01:10:32,239 --> 01:10:34,480 but there could be it's full shift i'm 1178 01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:36,560 leaving on because i'm just over here on 1179 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:37,920 a crime scene i'm 1180 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,320 watching over something so i am going to 1181 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,719 leave it on the entire time 1182 01:10:42,719 --> 01:10:44,880 and that's kind of the the glory that 1183 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,040 fixed cost is that you can 1184 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:48,239 you know operate the camera that 1185 01:10:48,239 --> 01:10:49,920 distance but typically because we have 1186 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,840 the unlimited storage it doesn't really 1187 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:53,440 change the policy as to where it has to 1188 01:10:53,440 --> 01:10:56,320 be activated when is it deactivated 1189 01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,719 that's all standard policy from the 1190 01:10:58,719 --> 01:11:00,159 agency 1191 01:11:00,159 --> 01:11:02,480 um and the statement 1192 01:11:02,480 --> 01:11:04,640 but yeah you could lean on 1193 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:05,920 um 1194 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,920 and whether it's the in-car the body 1195 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,120 camera 1196 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:13,830 all you know unlimited storage 1197 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,640 with the alpr's do you have capability 1198 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,280 put those in other city vehicles and 1199 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:20,320 when 1200 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:24,640 a hit it goes automatically to the pd 1201 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,600 yes 1202 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,640 and 1203 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,040 would that be part of this package or 1204 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,239 how much extra is that yeah so it's uh 1205 01:11:34,239 --> 01:11:37,199 currently scoped to the patrol vehicles 1206 01:11:37,199 --> 01:11:38,880 um you have to learn a little bit more 1207 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:40,880 as to what you know vehicle we're 1208 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:41,920 looking at we want to make sure 1209 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,600 technically it has 1210 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,080 um the components to support it just 1211 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:47,679 then you know be able to include it in 1212 01:11:47,679 --> 01:11:49,679 there but yeah it could be you know our 1213 01:11:49,679 --> 01:11:50,940 parking vehicle 1214 01:11:50,940 --> 01:11:52,239 [Music] 1215 01:11:52,239 --> 01:11:54,640 i'm thinking garbage trucks they're 1216 01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,920 going around the city all the time 1217 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,239 you know if there's a 1218 01:12:00,239 --> 01:12:03,840 accident yes but uh if there's a 1219 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:08,560 hit on a warrant you know on a car 1220 01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,679 and do you have any data on the return 1221 01:12:11,679 --> 01:12:16,229 on investment on those aoprs 1222 01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:19,440 in terms of being able to maximize your 1223 01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:21,280 well usage and 1224 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:22,400 the 1225 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,960 you know the hits and the 1226 01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,360 arrests as well as maybe 1227 01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,199 parking fines and things along those 1228 01:12:29,199 --> 01:12:31,040 lines yeah it's a great question i have 1229 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,360 to look into that i think that's usually 1230 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,000 very agency's specific data they keep 1231 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:37,840 that's just a matter of us 1232 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:39,120 asking for that 1233 01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:40,000 um 1234 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,440 but that'll be we could follow up on 1235 01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:42,640 that 1236 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:43,760 and then 1237 01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,560 last question is do you have capability 1238 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,280 for when an officer exits the vehicle 1239 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,239 the camera turns on automatically 1240 01:12:52,239 --> 01:12:55,360 yeah we call that a door trigger 1241 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,199 that's an option we've seen a lot of 1242 01:12:57,199 --> 01:12:58,560 canine because their hands are really 1243 01:12:58,560 --> 01:12:59,840 consumable 1244 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:00,800 you know 1245 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:02,000 the dog 1246 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000 the door triggers a possibility and that 1247 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,760 case hasn't worked there what did you 1248 01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:06,719 talk about 1249 01:13:06,719 --> 01:13:09,580 for a second because on those lines 1250 01:13:09,580 --> 01:13:12,159 [Music] 1251 01:13:12,159 --> 01:13:13,679 yeah so talk about that automatic 1252 01:13:13,679 --> 01:13:15,120 obviously you can manually turn this on 1253 01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,760 and off that button automatic triggers 1254 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,199 sort of shortness in that moment through 1255 01:13:19,199 --> 01:13:21,440 the taser holster the light bar door 1256 01:13:21,440 --> 01:13:22,560 trigger 1257 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,920 because these are connected devices 1258 01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:27,920 we now have the ability through cad to 1259 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,080 activate this specific to that officer 1260 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:31,360 dispatched 1261 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,760 juries to the call turn on 1262 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:35,520 the devices he's locked into his body 1263 01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,199 camera and stable car 1264 01:13:37,199 --> 01:13:38,400 um 1265 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,159 once we're dispatched those are actually 1266 01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:42,320 recording the second cat activation 1267 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,080 would be through geofence as chief 1268 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,640 mentioned so if the call for service is 1269 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,719 at one two three main street uh we're 1270 01:13:48,719 --> 01:13:50,000 gonna put a bubble around two three main 1271 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,280 street so we're gonna be in a quarter 1272 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,000 mile from there coming in responding 1273 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000 everything will then start so we're not 1274 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:56,880 missing 1275 01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,320 anything we're capturing everyone's 1276 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:03,110 involvement 1277 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:04,080 so 1278 01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,480 chief was talking earlier about the 1279 01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:07,600 current 1280 01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,159 about kids we have now and that they 1281 01:14:10,159 --> 01:14:12,640 run their life expectancy and they're no 1282 01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,040 longer under warranty the 1283 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,120 what's you're seeing a five year uh 1284 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,520 expectancy you know and what the devices 1285 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,360 being under warranty for that entire 1286 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,679 five years so our typical contract is 1287 01:14:23,679 --> 01:14:24,880 five years 1288 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,960 the body camera life cycle two and a 1289 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,960 half after that we start after two two and a half years we start to see 1290 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:32,880 battery degradation in terms of not 1291 01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,880 being able to support that full twelve 1292 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:38,080 hours with the prevent buffer so thirty 1293 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,560 two and a half years on the body cameras 1294 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,199 in car five-year life expectancy so what 1295 01:14:43,199 --> 01:14:45,760 you'll see is that five-year contract 1296 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:47,520 two refreshes of the body cameras and 1297 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,920 the dots so midway through right towards 1298 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,520 the end and on the eight card you're 1299 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,040 gonna see a refresh at your five 1300 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,679 so then what about the warranty though 1301 01:14:57,679 --> 01:14:59,120 full five years of warranty on 1302 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:00,080 everything 1303 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,239 um the refresher started to get warranty 1304 01:15:02,239 --> 01:15:04,880 refreshes and in addition to that that 1305 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,880 we call it the technical assurance plan 1306 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,199 for sure will also include on-site 1307 01:15:09,199 --> 01:15:11,280 spares so officers never going out 1308 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,760 without an operational camera so we'll 1309 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,080 have spare cameras on site while these 1310 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:17,199 are getting 1311 01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:19,520 swapped out is that great 1312 01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,159 and then refresh the next generation 1313 01:15:22,159 --> 01:15:23,360 so it's going to be the same generation 1314 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,520 of refreshes next generation okay 1315 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:29,030 refreshing the next generation 1316 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:30,640 of the 1317 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:32,480 body cameras these are body camera 1318 01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:33,440 threes 1319 01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:42,310 the next one will be 84 85 and then core 1320 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,320 does your software integrate with the 1321 01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,719 esri system in order to have it 1322 01:15:46,719 --> 01:15:48,560 automatically downloaded and put into 1323 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:49,280 that 1324 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:53,600 which system esri gis 1325 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,760 i'm not familiar with that it would 1326 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,120 integrate with the calcium system 1327 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,520 so in order to retract data we could 1328 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:13,750 protect it from the pulsing system 1329 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:14,640 so 1330 01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,080 you were saying that there's a mechanism 1331 01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,080 for a citizen you know they can get a 1332 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,480 text message which is like for a lack of 1333 01:16:20,480 --> 01:16:22,640 version like a link for them to send in 1334 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,320 photos or videos or something that they 1335 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:25,280 witness 1336 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:26,640 now that 1337 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,880 is that link operates one way correct 1338 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:30,880 like in other words like that link and 1339 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:32,000 clicking that link isn't given 1340 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,040 permission to access that citizens only 1341 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,679 the photos and videos that they 1342 01:16:37,679 --> 01:16:40,560 completely one way and it expires 1343 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,440 so from a generic you know 672 number 1344 01:16:43,440 --> 01:16:45,360 will make it up i'll get it click that 1345 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:46,800 link and 1346 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,040 provide that evidence they can't respond 1347 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,280 to the officer's open communication it 1348 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,280 will then you know expire and they'll 1349 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,040 already be usable 1350 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,280 what's that 1351 01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,520 what happens to all the video and data 1352 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,480 that's uploaded into your system if 1353 01:17:02,480 --> 01:17:03,840 let's say after 1354 01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,560 the contract is over we decide to go a 1355 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:08,480 different vendor what happens to that 1356 01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:10,640 yeah great question so everything we do 1357 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,920 is nothing's proprietary um you own your 1358 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:14,880 evidence 1359 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,520 of all of your evidence is yours and so 1360 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,760 you've got a couple of ways you can 1361 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,640 download it so if you've got another 1362 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:24,880 area you

background through our tutorial 1369 01:17:36,239 --> 01:17:38,640 you'll move it that way the third and 1370 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,719 that's at no cost the third way third 1371 01:17:40,719 --> 01:17:43,040 option is if you say you know exxon can 1372 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:44,480 you help us roll up your sleeves what 1373 01:17:44,480 --> 01:17:46,800 would it cost for you know x amount of

think of police officers responding to 1426 01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:29,440 events but definitely there is a 1427 01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:31,360 workload of paperwork that's attributed 1428 01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,840 and how this will help with some of that 1429 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:35,360 workload 1430 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,280 i'll touch on the teaser part real quick 1431 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,719 here so on the 1432 01:19:38,719 --> 01:19:40,800 every previous generation taser it was 1433 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,560 just like herself on it every to do an 1434 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,239 update we had to plug it in our 1435 01:19:44,239 --> 01:19:45,920 recommendation was to do quarterly 1436 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,239 updates uh if there was ever an incident 1437 01:19:48,239 --> 01:19:50,000 with a taser where there's a malfunction 1438 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,199 first thing our tech support team is 1439 01:19:51,199 --> 01:19:52,320 going to ask is when was the last time 1440 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:53,840 you updated the firmware software right 1441 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:54,960 just like your phone if you don't do it 1442 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:56,560 if you want the software on the computer 1443 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:57,920 it starts to 1444 01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,320 be a little wonky the way it works right 1445 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:01,440 so the nice thing about our taser 1446 01:20:01,440 --> 01:20:02,800 whether it's new ones 1447 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,159 there's no more plugging in and doing 1448 01:20:04,159 --> 01:20:06,159 any of that with rechargeable battery 1449 01:20:06,159 --> 01:20:07,600 when they're put in the docking station 1450 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:08,960 we're getting automatic software and 1451 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:10,639 firmware updates and they're done our 1452 01:20:10,639 --> 01:20:12,320 recommendation is to dock these once per 1453 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,080 month so they're getting 12 updates over 1454 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:16,159 here so it's always going to be optimal 1455 01:20:16,159 --> 01:20:17,600 what the health 1456 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:19,199 for our weapons 1457 01:20:19,199 --> 01:20:21,360 on the body camera side they're all body 1458 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,199 camera and the fleet in there as well 1459 01:20:23,199 --> 01:20:24,480 uh traditionally when you work 1460 01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:26,639 technology it's always additional work 1461 01:20:26,639 --> 01:20:27,760 and time 1462 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,159 and so what we've done is kind of with 1463 01:20:30,159 --> 01:20:32,560 this and our software as part of the 1464 01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:34,480 package is the other areas in which we 1465 01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:36,639 give that all of our time back so for 1466 01:20:36,639 --> 01:20:38,639 example 1467 01:20:38,639 --> 01:20:40,880 this camera after a traffic stop 1468 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,040 interaction when the officer walks back 1469 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,760 to the vehicle and has evidence.com up 1470 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,199 he can see the transcript of what 1471 01:20:47,199 --> 01:20:48,480 unfolded 1472 01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:49,440 um 1473 01:20:49,440 --> 01:20:51,840 so he can you know better understand you 1474 01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:53,600 know exactly what was said what he said 1475 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,520 and what the suspect said 1476 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:56,480 driver 1477 01:20:56,480 --> 01:20:59,040 um but then it also provides you know 1478 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,280 them the ability to 1479 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:02,400 talk to 1480 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,159 the camera before they can talk to the 1481 01:21:04,159 --> 01:21:05,360 mdt 1482 01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:06,719 to write their reports so typically this 1483 01:21:06,719 --> 01:21:08,639 is a process where they you know write 1484 01:21:08,639 --> 01:21:09,920 you know 1485 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:11,360 what happened what was said and like 1486 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:13,280 writing they saw what they smelled they 1487 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,120 can talk to the mdt it's going to 1488 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,280 transcribe what they're saying and copy 1489 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,280 and paste it put it into the record 1490 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:20,159 and 1491 01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:21,600 um 1492 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,280 so we're talking about saving a ton of 1493 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,600 time the auto tagging feature typically 1494 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:27,280 that's you know my body camera i got 1495 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:28,639 attacked back got my main car i got 1496 01:21:28,639 --> 01:21:30,880 tagged that and then the back seat video 1497 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,560 that attack that is rolled 1498 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,560 this lumps it together and then it gets 1499 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,600 auto tagged auto tagging saves about 200 1500 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:39,360 per month per officer 1501 01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:40,560 um 1502 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:42,719 from our case studies on that you have a 1503 01:21:42,719 --> 01:21:44,800 tagging piece and then it really gets 1504 01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,719 into the time to redact 1505 01:21:46,719 --> 01:21:48,719 so an hour's worth of footage takes 1506 01:21:48,719 --> 01:21:50,400 eight hours to redact to the point we 1507 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:51,840 can hand it over 1508 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,080 the ai tools have really brought that 1509 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,040 down to you know two hours 1510 01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,320 to be able to you know fully adapt that 1511 01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,960 and then it's really around the evidence 1512 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,320 sharing 1513 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,560 elements where you're able to share 1514 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:07,920 these large case files without going to 1515 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:09,679 all these different silos and different 1516 01:22:09,679 --> 01:22:12,159 codecs and burning and dvds and thumb 1517 01:22:12,159 --> 01:22:14,000 drives that are driving them around 1518 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,239 where it's brought in in any format 1519 01:22:16,239 --> 01:22:17,360 brought in here through part and 1520 01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:18,400 evidence 1521 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:20,320 create the case right click and you can 1522 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,560 share it inside the agency with 1523 01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:31,510 the va 1524 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,520 so um 1525 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,760 around your uh the virtual 1526 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:38,400 reality trainings and 1527 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,159 those scenarios i know that you know the 1528 01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:42,080 chief has been working um 1529 01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,159 hard to 1530 01:22:44,159 --> 01:22:45,199 make sure that 1531 01:22:45,199 --> 01:22:47,280 officers are going through you know 1532 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,560 anti-bias training 1533 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,320 do you know any of the partners that 1534 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:53,920 you're working with from the university 1535 01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:55,520 have you know has there been any 1536 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:59,360 intentional um uh development as far as 1537 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,120 early you could switch race switch 1538 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,760 gender um you know is that is there any 1539 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,400 intentionality around not reinforcing or 1540 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,120 perpetuating existing biases that happen 1541 01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,719 that can have disproportionate outcomes 1542 01:23:12,719 --> 01:23:14,560 i have that you know doug's on the cusp 1543 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,679 of that with teaser in the er 1544 01:23:17,679 --> 01:23:18,800 yeah 1545 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:19,840 to answer your question i mean we're 1546 01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:21,360 constantly coming out with new modules 1547 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:22,560 and one of the nice things with the 1548 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,159 system uh 1549 01:23:24,159 --> 01:23:25,520 we're taking feedback directly from our 1550 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:26,800 customers and creating these modules 1551 01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,000 based on what 1552 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,280 they're asking to be presented right so 1553 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,040 i'll bring up a couple years ago there 1554 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,520 was a lot of protests and 1555 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,120 um 1556 01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:38,800 situations like that we were able to 1557 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:40,480 create a module 1558 01:23:40,480 --> 01:23:43,440 30 days we had one out um 1559 01:23:43,440 --> 01:23:44,960 based just on that right and the same 1560 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:45,760 thing 1561 01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,320 is current events pop up um you know it 1562 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,320 could be uh yeah peer-to-peer is another 1563 01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,159 one and you'll i don't know if uh you 1564 01:23:52,159 --> 01:23:54,000 noticed on the slide before but we had 1565 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:55,520 we haven't broke the three now period of 1566 01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:58,239 here uh intervention once so 1567 01:23:58,239 --> 01:24:00,080 just to kind of keep it you know keep it 1568 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,159 moving and change it up so it's a little 1569 01:24:02,159 --> 01:24:03,360 different module 1570 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:04,480 one thing to know on the community 1571 01:24:04,480 --> 01:24:05,840 engagement side too so these are real 1572 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,520 people in in real world settings um the 1573 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,000 simulator side is they're all animated 1574 01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:13,440 cool thing with it though is 1575 01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:15,040 we're able to create literally unlimited 1576 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,440 outcomes with it we're on the community 1577 01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:19,360 engagement side these are fixed outcomes 1578 01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:20,320 it's kind of like choose your own 1579 01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:21,840 adventure if you will 1580 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:23,040 we have 1581 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:24,400 it'll pause and you'll have three 1582 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:25,679 different outcomes that you can choose 1583 01:24:25,679 --> 01:24:26,639 each one is going to bring you down a 1584 01:24:26,639 --> 01:24:28,000 different path so each one of those 1585 01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:29,520 community engagement modules has about 1586 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,000 30 different ways it could play out um 1587 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,040 and they're all 1588 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,800 eight to ten minutes long so you know an 1589 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,239 officer could throw a headset on during 1590 01:24:36,239 --> 01:24:38,000 roll call as they're waiting in line 1591 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:39,440 with these taser research you know a 1592 01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:42,320 number of situations um but yeah it's 1593 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,560 your point though um 1594 01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,880 our library is constantly expanding and 1595 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,480 we're trying to hit on some of the most 1596 01:24:48,480 --> 01:24:49,840 important topics right now and obviously 1597 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:51,120 that's gonna be you know one of them for 1598 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,679 sure so 1599 01:24:53,679 --> 01:24:55,679 not out yet but probably within you know 1600 01:24:55,679 --> 01:24:57,280 i'd say within the next six months for 1601 01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,280 sure they're pumping things out pretty 1602 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,080 quickly we get an email every single week with 1603 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,080 uh with our new hires and all these 1604 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:05,840 engineers on our vr team are based up in 1605 01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:06,800 seattle 1606 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,800 kind of like the tech capital of the 1607 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,480 country anywhere right 1608 01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:12,159 and half of these new hires are your 1609 01:25:12,159 --> 01:25:14,400 team so it's just growing at a rapid 1610 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:15,920 pace right now 1611 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:16,960 um 1612 01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:18,960 so what are your camera capabilities 1613 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,920 with drones and or remote control 1614 01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,080 vehicles and also do your 1615 01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:28,159 cameras pick up heat signatures 1616 01:25:28,159 --> 01:25:30,159 so the body cameras 1617 01:25:30,159 --> 01:25:31,920 and the in-car cameras and their gamers 1618 01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:33,840 don't pick up heat signatures 1619 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:34,639 um 1620 01:25:34,639 --> 01:25:36,719 but what about drones or the remote 1621 01:25:36,719 --> 01:25:38,000 controls 1622 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,639 are the latest generation of that so 1623 01:25:40,639 --> 01:25:43,520 we've got a partnership with dji 1624 01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,679 um as well as uh there are two other 1625 01:25:45,679 --> 01:25:48,000 photo kite and 1626 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,480 skydio girls so the three main events 1627 01:25:50,480 --> 01:25:52,239 we're like we are long 1628 01:25:52,239 --> 01:25:54,560 premiere provider for that on top of 1629 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:56,480 those best and brief technologies that 1630 01:25:56,480 --> 01:25:59,280 include infrared clear 1631 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,360 rapid deployed smaller deployed drones 1632 01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,360 or larger 1633 01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:04,960 drones 1634 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:06,480 we provide 1635 01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:08,400 many many options on the hardware side 1636 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,159 we layer on top of that 1637 01:26:10,159 --> 01:26:12,880 our drone sense software

for the 1695 01:28:43,280 --> 01:29:00,630 fire department chief mourinho 1696 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,830 [Music] 1697 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,679 so here tonight to speak to everyone 1698 01:29:05,679 --> 01:29:08,239 about our arts indication 1699 01:29:08,239 --> 01:29:10,960 just a little background the artisan 1700 01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,000 division right now is a four-person 1701 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,120 division 1702 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,760 there's a deputy chief of two tenants 1703 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,350 and a firefighter 1704 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:24,159 all of them either are or will be 1705 01:29:24,159 --> 01:29:26,960 full-fledged partisan investigators 1706 01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,440 so uh when we get a fire now we'll call 1707 01:29:29,440 --> 01:29:32,000 in one of the arts and investigators 1708 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,840 and um 1709 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:35,840 two of them are current one's a 1710 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:37,520 firefighter i will command and the other 1711 01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,400 one is a lieutenant 1712 01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:43,120 there are times when that firefighter 1713 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,360 needs to make some decisions 1714 01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:50,080 and it's not at his authority level 1715 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,880 so we may have to call in the lieutenant 1716 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:54,560 or the deputy chief 1717 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,480 to make those decisions 1718 01:29:56,480 --> 01:29:58,480 so we propose to change that 1719 01:29:58,480 --> 01:30:00,960 firefighter's position's title 1720 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,880 from a firefighter and make that 1721 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:06,800 position of lieutenant's position 1722 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,120 it makes sense it gives that person 1723 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:10,880 the authority to do the investigation 1724 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,800 without additional help there are times 1725 01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:15,840 he still will need to bring in another 1726 01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,000 investigator depending on the scope of 1727 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,189 the investigation 1728 01:30:21,199 --> 01:30:22,560 currently the person that's in the 1729 01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,040 firefighter's position has been there 1730 01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,920 a good 12 years if not longer 1731 01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,719 highly qualified 1732 01:30:30,719 --> 01:30:33,040 he does besides the partisan part of his 1733 01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:34,480 duties are 1734 01:30:34,480 --> 01:30:38,070 special operations 1735 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:39,920 now i don't 1736 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,159 when we make this position we'll have to 1737 01:30:42,159 --> 01:30:43,760 go up for promotion 1738 01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:46,000 that person is on the list he's number 1739 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:46,960 one 1740 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,920 not saying he's going to be promoted um 1741 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:51,280 because we have other people that we 1742 01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,760 have to interview also 1743 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,360 because the person doing the job now has 1744 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,040 been doing it a long time highly 1745 01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:59,360 qualified he's up for promotion 1746 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,600 maybe he makes a promotion 1747 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,600 the main thing we're asking is that we 1748 01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:04,880 change that position from the 1749 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:06,800 firefighter to lieutenants 1750 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:08,560 will save us a little money 1751 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,560 finance uh 1752 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,960 informs me that it's budget it's a 1753 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:14,880 budget neutral right now so it's not 1754 01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:18,149 going to be an impact 1755 01:31:18,159 --> 01:31:21,040 so that's what i'm here to propose 1756 01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:23,520 chief under the revised budget uh filled 1757 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:25,920 number of months can you address the 0.5 1758 01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:31,770 1.25 position 1759

01:31:50,480 june by the time this happens so there 1763 01:31:50,480 --> 01:31:52,159 is a 1764 01:31:52,159 --> 01:31:53,280 between the lieutenant and the 1765 01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:55,520 firefighter there's a differential it's 1766 01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:57,760 an eight percent differential 1767 01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:00,080 so that position now will receive more 1768 01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,719 money than he would as a firefighter 1769 01:32:02,719 --> 01:32:05,360 okay it's only a half a year that's why 1770 01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:07,760 there's a differential but 1771

police department which we had 1866 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,080 established this program um at the very 1867 01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,159 beginning of coded 1868 01:36:24,159 --> 01:36:26,480 specifically it started off with 1869 01:36:26,480 --> 01:36:27,840 foreign restaurant employees who were 1870 01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:29,679 laid off we were very worried about that 1871 01:36:29,679 --> 01:36:31,119 i'm actually the county legislator who 1872 01:36:31,119 --> 01:36:33,520 represents luxury in albany so i met 1873 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:34,880 with some restaurant owners we started 1874 01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,040 preparing meals so that those who are 1875 01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:39,199 very dependent on 1876 01:36:39,199 --> 01:36:41,119 you know daily income while they're 1877 01:36:41,119 --> 01:36:43,040 waiting for unemployment weren't going 1878 01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:44,960 hungry at the same time we started 1879 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:47,360 hearing about uh people in 1880 01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,040 eastern albany the only housing 1881 01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:50,480 authority where people were stuck in 1882 01:36:50,480 --> 01:36:52,320 dorsey couldn't get out to get food they 1883 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:54,000 can get nutritious meals and we want to 1884 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,320 focus on that and then about a year into 1885 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:57,600 our work 1886 01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,480 after we were established 501c3 1887 01:37:00,480 --> 01:37:02,960 we were reached out to you by cnxdpd and 1888 01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:05,040 been working with them on two different 1889 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,440 uh styles one is the curbside program 1890 01:37:07,440 --> 01:37:09,199 we're already doing deliveries right so 1891 01:37:09,199 --> 01:37:10,800 we're based out of albany but we're 1892 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:12,960 making delivery specifically with albany 1893 01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:15,760 med's cancer survivorship program 1894 01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,600 um for those who are suffering from 1895 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:19,440 disabilities who need meals 1896 01:37:19,440 --> 01:37:21,280 and so we expanded the program and we 1897 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,920 also are connected with schenectady 1898 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:25,760 community college with their culinary 1899 01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:27,840 program and we work with them union 1900 01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:29,280 college students help us deliver the 1901 01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,199 meals and obviously the semester police 1902 01:37:31,199 --> 01:37:32,639 department is key 1903 01:37:32,639 --> 01:37:35,440 the long basically we got hit sort of in 1904 01:37:35,440 --> 01:37:37,440 a triple factor which is why we're sort 1905 01:37:37,440 --> 01:37:38,719 of asking some of our partner 1906 01:37:38,719 --> 01:37:40,560 communities for help 1907 01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:41,760 one 1908 01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:45,040 when we started we were mostly volunteer 1909 01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:47,280 we had volunteer cook 1910 01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,119 we have volunteer cooks we have massive 1911 01:37:49,119 --> 01:37:51,600 donations of food from cisco and things 1912 01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,040 of that nature 1913 01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,760 and then since then we now pay 1914 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:57,360 you know some people we have to pay for 1915 01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:58,800 all the food and food prices to come 1916 01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:00,080 about 20 1917 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,400 we do pay a part-time chef we are 1918 01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:06,239 obviously a volunteer board no there's no payment there but we 1919 01:38:06,239 --> 01:38:07,840 basically have three part-time employees 1920 01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,080 a part-time chef a part-time executive 1921 01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:11,679 director as well for their finance 1922 01:38:11,679 --> 01:38:14,000 boards up and our part-time volunteer 1923 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:15,520 coordinator 1924 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,040 distribution of meals and getting that 1925 01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:18,880 there so we're a pretty bare bones 1926 01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:20,560 organization but we've had to make the 1927 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:23,119 choice that as donations have decreased 1928 01:38:23,119 --> 01:38:25,840 both financially and in food we've had 1929 01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,440 to make the difficult decision that we 1930 01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:29,199 have to start going to a core mission of 1931 01:38:29,199 --> 01:38:30,880 how we can continue doing this for as 1932 01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,320 long as possible 1933 01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:33,840 because the need specifically wants food 1934 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:35,520 and security is not going away 1935 01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:37,360 it's just that it's not on people's mind 1936 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:38,320 as much 1937 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:39,600 so this is going to allow us to move 1938 01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:41,920 forward but um 1939 01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:43,440 to your point 1940 01:38:43,440 --> 01:38:45,360 the long-term goal is to have each of 1941 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:47,440 these sort of sub-branches start being 1942 01:38:47,440 --> 01:38:49,600 independent if we can establish it so 1943 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,119 there might be like a feed capital 1944 01:38:51,119 --> 01:38:53,040 region or fetal umbrella but there would 1945 01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,360 be a feed schenectady as long as we can 1946 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:57,199 get our feet under us 1947 01:38:57,199 --> 01:38:59,360 in the short term we've applied to 1948 01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:00,719 senator schumer's

01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:13,840 the reason we came here is we also get 1955 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,000 approximately fifty thousand dollars um 1956 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:17,679 in federal grants

2105 01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:14,880 do part of which was um 2106 01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:17,920 working with uh marianne and hr to make 2107 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,600 sure we knew what the job opportunities 2108 01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:20,400 were 2109 01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:22,639 uh which we have done and she actually 2110 01:45:22,639 --> 01:45:24,960 was at the green market uh this the 2111 01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,360 second sunday handing out applications 2112 01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:30,000 there's a they've created a flyer with a 2113 01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,400 qr code letting people know you know the 2114 01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:34,080 jobs that are available 2115 01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:38,159 and as you heard um earlier we that our 2116 01:45:38,159 --> 01:45:40,239 code department is down people and 2117 01:45:40,239 --> 01:45:42,800 that's just happening all over um 2118 01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,480 all over the city 2119 01:45:44,480 --> 01:45:46,480 but not only that i was watching the 2120 01:45:46,480 --> 01:45:48,960 news where there's airlines that are 2121 01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,719 grounding flights because they just 2122 01:45:50,719 --> 01:45:52,400 don't have enough staff so this is not 2123 01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:55,440 something that just is happening locally 2124 01:45:55,440 --> 01:45:57,040 and um so i just thought we should need 2125 01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:58,639 to talk about how 2126 01:45:58,639 --> 01:46:01,840 we could address that um this this 2127 01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:03,360 particular topic has come up numerous 2128 01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:04,800 times in these conversations so i 2129 01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:06,719 thought i should bring it to this table 2130 01:46:06,719 --> 01:46:08,960 currently um if you're a resident of if 2131 01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:09,840 you want to work for the city of 2132 01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:11,520 schenectady you have to actually reside 2133 01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,000 in the city of schenectady 2134 01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,000 and so the question comes up do we 2135 01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:20,310 expand that to the county 2136 01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:24,400 we actually have lost people to other 2137 01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,960 municipalities within schenectady county 2138 01:46:26,960 --> 01:46:28,159 because you don't have to live in 2139 01:46:28,159 --> 01:46:29,600 rotterdam to work in modern day we've 2140 01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:31,360 left they'll have people leave who work 2141 01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:32,880 for the city to work in rotterdam 2142 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:34,719 because they didn't you know 2143 01:46:34,719 --> 01:46:36,560 there may be have been other reasons but 2144 01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,159 that stipulation wasn't there so it 2145 01:46:38,159 --> 01:46:39,199 didn't 2146 01:46:39,199 --> 01:46:42,320 make them stay in schenectady so um 2147 01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:44,800 in talking with staff just to be uh to 2148 01:46:44,800 --> 01:46:47,280 be completely transparent um 2149 01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:48,639 conversation's been brought up more than 2150 01:46:48,639 --> 01:46:49,840 one time so i thought it was something 2151 01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,600 that we should discuss and talk about 2152 01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:53,360 how we can make sure that we get our 2153 01:46:53,360 --> 01:46:55,119 workforce 2154 01:46:55,119 --> 01:46:56,239 um 2155 01:46:56,239 --> 01:46:59,600 back up to what to be in in terms of 2156 01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:01,840 considering considering people having 2157 01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:03,920 residency within the county and not just 2158 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:05,280 within the city 2159 01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:07,119 the county itself did something similar 2160 01:47:07,119 --> 01:47:09,119 to this a few years ago and one of the 2161 01:47:09,119 --> 01:47:11,040 stipulations that they did have was that 2162 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:14,159 if um let's say a person tested and at 2163 01:47:14,159 --> 01:47:16,080 all things being equal 2164 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:17,600 that the person in the and one within 2165 01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:18,960 the city and one in the county the 2166 01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:20,960 person of course that lives in the city 2167 01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:23,760 would um be their chosen candidate so 2168 01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:25,119 i just kind of opened that up for 2169 01:47:25,119 --> 01:47:26,239 discussion i'm not even sure what it 2170 01:47:26,239 --> 01:47:28,159 takes to get us there but i think it's 2171 01:47:28,159 --> 01:47:31,280 something that we um we really want to 2172 01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:34,239 consider and i'm sure that the mayor has 2173 01:47:34,239 --> 01:47:36,080 made an opinion on that but as i said 2174 01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:37,840 it's been brought up to me numerous 2175 01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:38,800 times 2176 01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:40,239 and um 2177 01:47:40,239 --> 01:47:41,520 so thought it's something we should 2178 01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:43,360 discuss if we're really um you know 2179 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:45,679 serious about making sure that we 2180 01:47:45,679 --> 01:47:47,679 be able to employ people um that we need 2181 01:47:47,679 --> 01:47:49,199 to employ 2182 01:47:49,199 --> 01:47:50,800 so 2183 01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:53,280 mccarthy is

01:50:18,480 --> 01:50:19,520 county and i'm not sure what the 2247 01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,040 criteria is 2248 01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,599 um in terms of the case by case well one 2249 01:50:23,599 --> 01:50:25,840 reason was you know the marriage escaped 2250 01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:27,119 that the person was older their wife 2251 01:50:27,119 --> 01:50:28,800 didn't want to move makes sense you 2252 01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:30,480 don't want to sell your house to if 2253 01:50:30,480 --> 01:50:31,440 you're at the place where you're going 2254 01:50:31,440 --> 01:50:33,679 to be retiring in a couple years anyway 2255 01:50:33,679 --> 01:50:34,639 so 2256 01:50:34,639 --> 01:50:36,960 but i just really want us to consider 2257 01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:38,719 it more broad term 2258 01:50:38,719 --> 01:50:40,880 so the question is have been have we 2259 01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,880 been receiving resume from 2260 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:46,400 residency outside of connectivity 2261 01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:49,119 we on a routine basis get applications 2262 01:50:49,119 --> 01:50:51,599 for individuals who do not live within 2263 01:50:51,599 --> 01:50:54,000 the city of schenectady current code 2264 01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,080 allows me to appoint 2265 01:50:56,080 --> 01:50:58,400 anyone independent of their place of 2266 01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,960 residency but they're required to move 2267 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:03,199 within the city within six months of 2268 01:51:03,199 --> 01:51:10,070 appointment 2269 01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,000 so i think when and we've heard this 2270 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,000 instance multiple times just tonight to 2271 01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:16,000 reference something that was recent with 2272 01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:17,599 the chris talking about the code 2273 01:51:17,599 --> 01:51:20,400 enforcement having sis off six officers 2274 01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:24,709 out of 14. i don't know how you can 2275 01:51:24,719 --> 01:51:26,880 routinely expect them to perform to the 2276 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,880 highest degree when just they're that 2277 01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:30,320 understaffed 2278 01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:32,960 i want to be 2279 01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:34,080 aware that there may be other 2280 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:35,679 considerations that i'm not aware of as 2281 01:51:35,679 --> 01:51:37,360 a new council member but to me i would 2282 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:39,199 either recommend temporarily suspending 2283 01:51:39,199 --> 01:51:41,119 it at least until we can get our 2284 01:51:41,119 --> 01:51:43,040 departments either fully staffed or 2285 01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,199 whether we can identify uh departments 2286 01:51:45,199 --> 01:51:47,199 that are in critical standing but of 2287 01:51:47,199 --> 01:51:48,800 getting them to a standpoint where they 2288 01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:50,560 are functional 2289 01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,199 whether we define like a 75 2290 01:51:53,199 --> 01:51:55,520 what have you um or permanently deleting 2291 01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,599 it or permanently doing away with it the 2292 01:51:57,599 --> 01:51:59,920 only reason why i recommend that is uh 2293 01:51:59,920 --> 01:52:01,920 it seems that we are trending in a 2294 01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:04,880 direction with with staffing that is not 2295 01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:06,400 in line with things that have previously 2296 01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:07,760 worked 2297 01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:09,360 i don't think that this is an instance 2298 01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,639 where schenectady isn't 2299 01:52:12,639 --> 01:52:13,440 being 2300 01:52:13,440 --> 01:52:16,000 promoted as a ideal living situation and 2301 01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,520 i recognize that our city is making 2302 01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:20,000 efforts to present itself as an ideal 2303 01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,560 destination for for families but it 2304 01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:25,119 doesn't seem to be in place a 2305 01:52:25,119 --> 01:52:27,119 effective mechanism that has a pipeline 2306 01:52:27,119 --> 01:52:29,520 to staff these departments and the one 2307 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:31,599 thing that i would hate to see is 2308 01:52:31,599 --> 01:52:33,840 that exiting to continue and then we'd 2309 01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:36,400 be at one or potentially departments 2310 01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,800 that are not stopped 2311 01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:40,880 that's one question from mr coleman 2312 01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:42,960 if you want to suspend 2313 01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:45,040 this requirement do we need a call for 2314 01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:46,719 public hearing if you're looking to 2315 01:52:46,719 --> 01:52:48,800 temporarily change the code yes because 2316 01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,960 that's essentially what it is yes 2317 01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:53,360 you would um i mean the current 2318 01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:55,599 mechanism in place for somebody who 2319 01:52:55,599 --> 01:52:57,360 doesn't reside in schenectady would be 2320 01:52:57,360 --> 01:53:00,000 to seek a waiver as provided in the city 2321 01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:03,030 of god 2322 01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:03,840 please 2323 01:53:03,840 --> 01:53:06,000 so what would residents say thank you 2324 01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:07,679 carl for all that but what would you 2325 01:53:07,679 --> 01:53:09,760 know that do to our schools and our 2326 01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:11,119 community and 2327 01:53:11,119 --> 01:53:13,440 you know we just be a destination to 2328 01:53:13,440 --> 01:53:15,440 come and work and everybody leaves right 2329 01:53:15,440 --> 01:53:16,560 after work 2330 01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:19,199 i i don't know i just i i don't agree 2331 01:53:19,199 --> 01:53:23,520 with it but i think we're in a position that everyone across 2332 01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,159 america is in i probably everyone's 2333 01:53:26,159 --> 01:53:28,880 departments are low you know i don't 2334 01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:30,880 know but again 2335 01:53:30,880 --> 01:53:32,880 you know we want to build our home sales 2336 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,440 and our schools and our community 2337 01:53:35,440 --> 01:53:36,239 um 2338 01:53:36,239 --> 01:53:38,239 you know like downtown albany you know 2339 01:53:38,239 --> 01:53:44,149 it's 2340 01:53:44,159 --> 01:53:46,320 that people are all over um that's why 2341 01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:47,599 people are looking different ways to 2342 01:53:47,599 --> 01:53:50,159 handle it and so um there are places 2343 01:53:50,159 --> 01:53:52,000 that other you know who have opened up 2344 01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:54,320 like like for the housing authority let 2345 01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:56,239 me give you an example before you only 2346 01:53:56,239 --> 01:53:58,000 could live in schenectady county they've 2347 01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:59,199 changed it now that if you live in 2348 01:53:59,199 --> 01:54:01,679 contiguous counties you are you can work 2349 01:54:01,679 --> 01:54:03,599 for them so because it's a problem 2350 01:54:03,599 --> 01:54:04,800 that's ongoing 2351 01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:06,320 we have to approach it in a different 2352 01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:11,280 way and um i understand what you're saying i'm not 2353 01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:12,960 sure if i have really the same concern i 2354 01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:14,800 don't anticipate people move out of the 2355 01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:16,639 city and all of our school districts 2356 01:54:16,639 --> 01:54:18,320 will go on and in terms of the school 2357 01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:19,840 district in order to work for the school 2358 01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:21,280 district you do not have to live in the 2359 01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:22,719 city you don't even have to live in the 2360 01:54:22,719 --> 01:54:25,360 county so we already have people that 2361 01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:30,320 come here to teach in our schools that um you know they teach 2362 01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,159 um and i'm gonna say i know a lot of 2363 01:54:32,159 --> 01:54:33,440 them that are still committed to our 2364 01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:35,440 students etc they come they teach in the 2365 01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:37,520 schools and then they go home because we 2366 01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:39,840 just didn't have enough of a pool to 2367 01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:42,239 draw from in terms of our school 2368 01:54:42,239 --> 01:54:43,840 district so i think we're almost in the 2369 01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:47,669 same situation now 2370 01:54:47,679 --> 01:54:50,320 so just a follow-up on the application 2371 01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:52,000 that we cut some of the application that 2372 01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,080 we have for a non-resident 2373 01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:56,080 can consideration be given to look into 2374 01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:58,400 them and apply the waiver 2375 01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:01,119 uh we we'd like to uh if they're 2376 01:55:01,119 --> 01:55:03,679 qualified yeah as you're qualified you 2377 01:55:03,679 --> 01:55:05,520 know we would like to bring them to the 2378 01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:08,000 mirror but uh a lot of times because of 2379 01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,320 the six months rule that we have people 2380 01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:13,119 automatically tell us well i i only have 2381 01:55:13,119 --> 01:55:14,560 like two more years of the pay of my 2382 01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:16,320 house i'm not gonna move in the city in 2383 01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:18,400 six months so you know we have to 2384 01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:20,239 disqualify them because they tell us up 2385 01:55:20,239 --> 01:55:22,000 front they're not coming in but you know 2386 01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:24,000 what we need to do is cast a bigger net 2387 01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:26,480 around the continuous uh counties and 2388 01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:28,320 stuff like that so that we can get the 2389 01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:31,119 best possible workers or uh that you 2390 01:55:31,119 --> 01:55:38,400 know that applied for each position uh the city is connected you know we've been trying like you said we we 2391 01:55:38,400 --> 01:55:40,560 have all those job openings and and we 2392 01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:42,400 always go out we try to tell everybody 2393 01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:44,719 about these jobs we just can't get the 2394 01:55:44,719 --> 01:55:47,119 right qualifications uh to meet with 2395 01:55:47,119 --> 01:55:49,199 them but if we can cast a bigger net 2396 01:55:49,199 --> 01:55:51,199 we'll be able to get more applications 2397 01:55:51,199 --> 01:55:53,840 and more people in i also believe that 2398 01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:55,760 uh people who do not live in the city 2399 01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:58,080 right now start working in the city and 2400 01:55:58,080 --> 01:56:00,080 seeing what the city has to offer they 2401 01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:01,760 eventually will move into the city but 2402 01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:03,599 you know to be an option to get him here 2403 01:56:03,599 --> 01:56:06,000 first is through uh through uh uh 2404 01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:07,199 employment 2405 01:56:07,199 --> 01:56:09,280 and like it says throughout the country 2406 01:56:09,280 --> 01:56:10,960 employment is hard to find 2407 01:56:10,960 --> 01:56:12,719 so we're even we're making our 2408 01:56:12,719 --> 01:56:14,560 employment status even smaller by 2409 01:56:14,560 --> 01:56:16,719 casting that small net right in our 2410 01:56:16,719 --> 01:56:18,080 little city 2411 01:56:18,080 --> 01:56:20,400 so we need we need to make it bigger to 2412 01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:26,310 get better employees 2413 01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:29,280 i mean for andrew so what about the 2414 01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:31,440 employees that already live in the city 2415 01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:33,040 i mean would they be able to move out of 2416 01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:34,719 the city now 2417 01:56:34,719 --> 01:56:37,040 if something like that came about 2418 01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:39,119 presumably if we were to remove the 2419 01:56:39,119 --> 01:56:40,960 restriction that somebody who's employed 2420 01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:42,800 by the city or somebody who seems to be 2421 01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:44,000 employed by the city doesn't have to 2422 01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:45,280 live in the city 2423 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:46,320 then 2424 01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,480 yes you that the potential is there for 2425 01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,400 that 2426 01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:52,320 go have kids 2427 01:56:52,320 --> 01:56:53,760 it's an extremely hard thing to 2428 01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:56,239 administer 2429 01:56:56,239 --> 01:56:58,719 i firmly believe in the residency 2430 01:56:58,719 --> 01:57:01,119 requirement 2431 01:57:01,119 --> 01:57:02,800 there is a provision 2432 01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:04,560 most people when they are hired 2433 01:57:04,560 --> 01:57:07,119 pre-signing a resignation if they move 2434 01:57:07,119 --> 01:57:10,800 out of the city if i enforce those 2435 01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:13,599 your staffing levels would be critical 2436 01:57:13,599 --> 01:57:15,599 today we get by 2437 01:57:15,599 --> 01:57:18,159 um yeah i'm sure that so you know but 2438 01:57:18,159 --> 01:57:21,040 without that being mirrored that means that that 2439 01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:22,639 wouldn't even be a concern because as 2440 01:57:22,639 --> 01:57:23,840 long as they're in the county i just 2441 01:57:23,840 --> 01:57:25,520 want to be clear i'm not talking about 2442 01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:27,119 other counties i'm not talking about 2443 01:57:27,119 --> 01:57:28,880 somebody moving to albany school i'm 2444 01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:31,599 talking about expanding um 2445 01:57:31,599 --> 01:57:33,760 at least to the county and see how we do 2446 01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:35,199 in terms of 2447 01:57:35,199 --> 01:57:37,760 um getting more employees and as mr 2448 01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:39,440 ferrari said just cast your bigger net 2449 01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,040 so talking about the county of 2450 01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:42,480 schenectady 2451 01:57:42,480 --> 01:57:43,920 you said we already have people who are 2452 01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:46,000 in that situation 2453 01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:48,560 that's what i'm hearing 2454 01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:50,239 yes they 2455 01:57:50,239 --> 01:57:53,280 don't live in the city uh 2456 01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:56,320 maintain a paper residency or 2457 01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,719 in other ways have created a charade 2458 01:57:58,719 --> 01:57:59,679 that 2459 01:57:59,679 --> 01:58:02,719 complies with the current residency 2460 01:58:02,719 --> 01:58:04,880 requirement 2461 01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:06,080 good 2462 01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:07,119 so 2463 01:58:07,119 --> 01:58:08,960 one of the major criticisms of the 2464 01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:10,719 school district is 2465 01:58:10,719 --> 01:58:13,040 our teachers aren't living there 2466 01:58:13,040 --> 01:58:14,080 and 2467 01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:17,360 they take our tax money and they leave 2468 01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:19,040 and that doesn't mean they're not 2469 01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:20,960 dedicated to students but they're not 2470 01:58:20,960 --> 01:58:22,880 dedicated to our community 2471 01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:26,790 and that's a detriment 2472 01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:29,599 similarly we could have a situation 2473 01:58:29,599 --> 01:58:31,840 where our workers do leave 2474 01:58:31,840 --> 01:58:34,480 there needs to be something in place 2475 01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,800 if we're going to do this where 2476 01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:38,639 there's skin in the game 2477 01:58:38,639 --> 01:58:40,159 if you're living in the city you're 2478 01:58:40,159 --> 01:58:41,840 contributing to the community you're 2479 01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:43,440 contributing to 2480 01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:45,599 the tax base 2481 01:58:45,599 --> 01:58:47,679 if you're not living here then there 2482 01:58:47,679 --> 01:58:50,560 should be some sort of 2483 01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:53,119 eight ten thousand dollar 2484 01:58:53,119 --> 01:58:54,080 less 2485 01:58:54,080 --> 01:58:56,000 pay or something 2486 01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:58,639 to compensate for that incentive and 2487 01:58:58,639 --> 01:59:01,040 there needs to be an incentive to 2488 01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:04,320 move here and be part of our community 2489 01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:06,000 that gets 2490 01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:09,520 the umbrella wider but it also puts the 2491 01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:12,000 playing ground at an even 2492 01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:14,560 keel for the workers who 2493 01:59:14,560 --> 01:59:17,599 are in our city and are dedicated so any 2494 01:59:17,599 --> 01:59:19,199 new employees that don't live in the 2495 01:59:19,199 --> 01:59:21,360 city should have some sort of 2496 01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:23,119 penalty and 2497 01:59:23,119 --> 01:59:24,880 i understand there's 2498 01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:26,239 contractual 2499 01:59:26,239 --> 01:59:27,920 issues related to that 2500 01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:29,520 but uh 2501 01:59:29,520 --> 01:59:31,840 i firmly believe that that needs to be 2502 01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:35,270 in place 2503 01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:36,639 so if you're 2504 01:59:36,639 --> 01:59:38,159 segments what you're saying i don't 2505 01:59:38,159 --> 01:59:40,560 think financially penalizing people to 2506 01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:42,560 be involved in the community 2507 01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:45,440 means to long-term successful impacts 2508 01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:47,199 part of the reason why my family moved 2509 01:59:47,199 --> 01:59:49,280 back is because we wanted to 2510 01:59:49,280 --> 01:59:51,920 and i will entirely bet on the fact that 2511 01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:53,040 the 2512 01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:54,719 ambitions of mayor mccarthy the 2513 01:59:54,719 --> 01:59:57,199 ambitions of superintendent soler will 2514 01:59:57,199 --> 01:59:59,840 yield people wanting to buy into the 2515 01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:01,440 fact that schenectady is a thriving 2516 02:00:01,440 --> 02:00:04,800 community and i think if we are then 2517 02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:07,360 compared to other cities 2518 02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,199 and someone chooses somewhere else 2519 02:00:09,199 --> 02:00:11,599 we need to honestly look introspectively 2520 02:00:11,599 --> 02:00:13,599 and say is there anything we could have 2521 02:00:13,599 --> 02:00:15,599 realistically done better and if it's no 2522 02:00:15,599 --> 02:00:17,760 then accepting that but whenever we have 2523 02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:20,320 our parades downtown whenever we have 2524 02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:22,239 our uh sunday events in downtown 2525 02:00:22,239 --> 02:00:24,320 connecticut i'm asking people candidly 2526 02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:25,840 do you live in our community and when i 2527 02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:28,080 hear no i thank them for patronizing our 2528 02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:29,920 businesses and let them know that we do 2529 02:00:29,920 --> 02:00:31,679 have houses that we do have safe and 2530 02:00:31,679 --> 02:00:33,360 successful neighborhoods and they should 2531 02:00:33,360 --> 02:00:34,480 choose us 2532 02:00:34,480 --> 02:00:37,520 and i think that that is the aim that we 2533 02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:40,080 need to take on 2534 02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:42,000 so i just want to follow back and just 2535 02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:43,920 clarify just so we're having the 2536 02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,960 residency is that for six months only 2537 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:50,239 is that for a period of six months only 2538 02:00:50,239 --> 02:01:02,950 waving residency 2539 02:01:02,960 --> 02:01:05,119 i would have to convene the residency 2540 02:01:05,119 --> 02:01:06,960 review board they would have to vote a 2541 02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:10,239 waiver the city council can change the 2542 02:01:10,239 --> 02:01:12,400 actual code and that weaver doesn't have 2543 02:01:12,400 --> 02:01:14,480 the limitation 2544 02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:18,310 of whatever you enacted 2545 02:01:18,320 --> 02:01:19,679 no currently 2546 02:01:19,679 --> 02:01:21,599 what we have currently if you were to 2547 02:01:21,599 --> 02:01:23,599 wave the residency 2548 02:01:23,599 --> 02:01:25,920 is there a timeline 2549 02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:28,080 is that permanent i believe that it's 2550 02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:29,920 permanent like it's great 2551 02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:31,599 i suppose the residency review board 2552 02:01:31,599 --> 02:01:32,560 could 2553 02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:35,679 do a limited waiver but the ones 2554 02:01:35,679 --> 02:01:37,520 have been done on a permanent basis a 2555 02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:40,239 section of code to review if i'm sorry 2556 02:01:40,239 --> 02:01:41,760 the section of code to review on this is 2557 02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:45,510 87-6.1 2558 02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:47,199 and the sub-sections 2559 02:01:47,199 --> 02:01:49,679 that goes through you know the 2560 02:01:49,679 --> 02:01:52,800 procedures and the um 2561 02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:54,480 the considerations 2562 02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:58,080 uh for granting a waiver 2563 02:01:58,080 --> 02:01:59,840 yeah i think i personally think that we 2564 02:01:59,840 --> 02:02:01,440 should look at the waiver based on the 2565 02:02:01,440 --> 02:02:02,880 application coming in and if there are 2566 02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:05,119 non-residency we can look at the you 2567 02:02:05,119 --> 02:02:07,040 know application they're qualified look 2568 02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:09,840 at waving the residency 2569 02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:12,080 because we we need to increase the 2570 02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:15,520 workforce and we need to do something 2571 02:02:15,520 --> 02:02:18,560 good sorry a couple of issues i i think 2572 02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:20,480 and just to twist that around i think 2573 02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:22,880 the idea of giving an incentive to 2574 02:02:22,880 --> 02:02:24,880 someone that's living in the city versus 2575 02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:26,960 penalizing somebody you know that's not 2576 02:02:26,960 --> 02:02:29,679 so i think i i i hear what you're both 2577 02:02:29,679 --> 02:02:31,199 saying i like the idea of giving an 2578 02:02:31,199 --> 02:02:33,280 incentive to someone and many of us have 2579 02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:35,119 that at different workplaces over the 2580 02:02:35,119 --> 02:02:37,440 years where you look at health insurance 2581 02:02:37,440 --> 02:02:39,119 for example are you going to accept the 2582 02:02:39,119 --> 02:02:41,599 health insurance okay or if you don't 2583 02:02:41,599 --> 02:02:42,960 accept the health insurance hey we'll 2584 02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:44,560 give you an extra two thousand dollars 2585 02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:46,320 in your salary because it's saving the 2586 02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:48,320 organization so i mean there's ways to 2587 02:02:48,320 --> 02:02:51,520 play around with with that as well um 2588 02:02:51,520 --> 02:02:54,400 i personally 2589 02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:56,000 feel the same way you want people to 2590 02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:57,840 live here we want this we want people to 2591 02:02:57,840 --> 02:03:00,080 recognize what a fabulous place this is 2592 02:03:00,080 --> 02:03:02,560 to live and there and i think that more 2593 02:03:02,560 --> 02:03:04,800 and more people are figuring that out i 2594 02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:06,480 would like to know 2595 02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:08,719 whether i mean because we all have 2596 02:03:08,719 --> 02:03:11,520 identified that the workforce issue in 2597 02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:13,119 our country 2598 02:03:13,119 --> 02:03:14,560 is just 2599 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:16,719 you know i mean why are people not 2600 02:03:16,719 --> 02:03:18,000 applying for all the jobs there's 2601 02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:21,440 millions of jobs available um and folks 2602 02:03:21,440 --> 02:03:23,040 just aren't even like stepping up to the 2603 02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:25,599 plate to try to apply for the job so i 2604 02:03:25,599 --> 02:03:27,599 guess i'd want to dig a little deeper 2605 02:03:27,599 --> 02:03:29,679 and know is it because somebody doesn't 2606 02:03:29,679 --> 02:03:31,920 want to come and live in schenectady or 2607 02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:33,599 is it that we're just not getting 2608 02:03:33,599 --> 02:03:37,199 applications uh in general you know 2609 02:03:37,199 --> 02:03:40,000 because when people see that 2610 02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:41,440 they don't even 2611 02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:43,199 okay yeah 2612 02:03:43,199 --> 02:03:45,119 so we wouldn't have high data on that 2613 02:03:45,119 --> 02:03:47,599 actually yeah so that's that's one thing 2614 02:03:47,599 --> 02:03:49,599 i want to say and i also think that 2615 02:03:49,599 --> 02:03:52,000 um i can see a difference between for 2616 02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:54,320 example an 18 an hour 2617 02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:56,800 um you know person who's going to be 2618 02:03:56,800 --> 02:04:00,480 working on a garbage truck versus um 2619 02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:01,840 someone that's coming to work in our 2620 02:04:01,840 --> 02:04:04,159 corporation council office at a much 2621 02:04:04,159 --> 02:04:05,840 higher salary i mean i'm just saying i'm 2622 02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:08,320 just trying to bring up issues that i 2623 02:04:08,320 --> 02:04:10,960 think would all have to be um 2624 02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:13,280 considered in this in this as a broader 2625 02:04:13,280 --> 02:04:14,800 topic that 2626 02:04:14,800 --> 02:04:16,639 you know i think flexibility around 2627 02:04:16,639 --> 02:04:19,119 someone that's making 18 an hour 2628 02:04:19,119 --> 02:04:21,360 and maybe doesn't want to move here um 2629 02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:23,280 to make 18 an hour 2630 02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:24,719 versus 2631 02:04:24,719 --> 02:04:26,880 you know someone else's salary so i 2632 02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:28,480 think it's i think there's a lot of 2633 02:04:28,480 --> 02:04:29,440 levels 2634 02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:31,920 um it's like peeling the onion back uh 2635 02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:35,679 in terms of in terms of this issue 2636 02:04:35,679 --> 02:04:37,840 go ahead i know that currently if 2637 02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:40,079 there's someone that we really need to 2638 02:04:40,079 --> 02:04:43,360 fill at a higher level um that that the 2639 02:04:43,360 --> 02:04:45,599 mayor is willing to you know and has 2640 02:04:45,599 --> 02:04:47,040 considered people just because if we 2641 02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:48,719 can't find someone not only want a name 2642 02:04:48,719 --> 02:04:51,840 position but a particular position um 2643 02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:54,400 that requires a certain skill set it's 2644 02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:57,199 that um that that person 2645 02:04:57,199 --> 02:05:00,320 you know um probably may consider us 2646 02:05:00,320 --> 02:05:02,239 like there was a woman who did work for 2647 02:05:02,239 --> 02:05:03,040 um 2648 02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:05,360 our assessment assessment and she didn't 2649 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:06,960 live in the city i believe she had a 2650 02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:09,360 waiver at some point because she brought 2651 02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:10,639 the skill set that we needed to the 2652 02:05:10,639 --> 02:05:12,639 table so i think 2653 02:05:12,639 --> 02:05:13,920 it's kind of like a little bit different 2654 02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:15,199 than what you're saying actually because 2655 02:05:15,199 --> 02:05:17,920 the people with the highest salary with 2656 02:05:17,920 --> 02:05:18,719 the 2657 02:05:18,719 --> 02:05:22,159 specific skill set i'm more inclined to 2658 02:05:22,159 --> 02:05:24,239 be able to get the waiver as the people 2659 02:05:24,239 --> 02:05:27,040 at the uh 18 an hour 2660 02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:28,560 because it's a skill set that may be 2661 02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:32,149 difficult to find within the city 2662 02:05:32,159 --> 02:05:33,679 i'm saying we need both though just so 2663 02:05:33,679 --> 02:05:36,870 you know 2664 02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:38,159 like clearly 2665 02:05:38,159 --> 02:05:39,679 i think we were talking about somebody 2666 02:05:39,679 --> 02:05:41,520 working the assessment so i was 2667 02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:43,599 appointed by a prior administration who 2668 02:05:43,599 --> 02:05:46,159 did not have a waiver and i did not 2669 02:05:46,159 --> 02:05:50,550 reappoint that person 2670 02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:51,920 go ahead please 2671 02:05:51,920 --> 02:05:54,000 have we ever considered i don't know but 2672 02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:55,280 raising our 2673 02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:56,400 pay scale 2674 02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:59,599 okay we have well we have okay 2675 02:05:59,599 --> 02:06:01,040 maybe we should consider it again thanks 2676 02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:02,800 for bringing that up 2677 02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:03,679 but 2678 02:06:03,679 --> 02:06:05,199 just talking about incentive i think in 2679 02:06:05,199 --> 02:06:07,280 our last year's budget there is a 2680 02:06:07,280 --> 02:06:09,360 discretionary line 2681 02:06:09,360 --> 02:06:12,320 towards amazon budget to use 2682 02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:23,830 as an incentive to attract 2683 02:06:23,840 --> 02:06:25,360 but i did 2684 02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:27,840 attempt to hire an individual used all 2685 02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:29,760 that money and put some other money on 2686 02:06:29,760 --> 02:06:31,760 the table and still was not able to hire 2687 02:06:31,760 --> 02:06:35,669 the person 2688 02:06:35,679 --> 02:06:37,040 so does that mean that we should be 2689 02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:38,719 looking i'm sorry don't go ahead that 2690 02:06:38,719 --> 02:06:42,470 means we should be looking at ourselves 2691 02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:46,709 there are other factors that play there 2692 02:06:46,719 --> 02:06:48,560 so um you know i i think it's something 2693 02:06:48,560 --> 02:06:50,400 we really should consider currently our 2694 02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:52,400 police officers don't have to live in 2695 02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:54,239 the city our chief does 2696 02:06:54,239 --> 02:06:55,599 so 2697 02:06:55,599 --> 02:06:58,320 mayors are cheap he lives in the city so 2698 02:06:58,320 --> 02:07:00,079 um so i think that it's something we 2699 02:07:00,079 --> 02:07:01,280 should consider if we want to really 2700 02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:03,040 build our workforce back 2701 02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:05,360 and i to your point um ms patrick i i 2702 02:07:05,360 --> 02:07:07,199 agree that we should incentivize people 2703 02:07:07,199 --> 02:07:08,639 that already live here 2704 02:07:08,639 --> 02:07:10,800 um maybe maybe um 2705 02:07:10,800 --> 02:07:13,119 not penalized incentivized so maybe 2706 02:07:13,119 --> 02:07:15,199 really increase the salary for people 2707 02:07:15,199 --> 02:07:16,639 that already live here and the other 2708 02:07:16,639 --> 02:07:18,320 people just come in currently so i think 2709 02:07:18,320 --> 02:07:20,639 that it's a lot to think about but i 2710 02:07:20,639 --> 02:07:22,000 definitely believe it's something we 2711 02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:23,280 should think about 2712 02:07:23,280 --> 02:07:25,840 to figure out how to um increase our 2713 02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:27,199 workforce and get 2714 02:07:27,199 --> 02:07:29,440 people here 2715 02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:30,719 go ahead please 2716 02:07:30,719 -->

02:12:16,079 --> 02:12:18,400 has that's now awaiting 2846 02:12:18,400 --> 02:12:20,560 on the governor's signature 2847 02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:22,960 uh for that and i don't know when that 2848 02:12:22,960 --> 02:12:25,119 might happen but i 2849 02:12:25,119 --> 02:12:27,440 asked to meet with the mayor and the 2850 02:12:27,440 --> 02:12:30,639 chief and uh our assistant chief 2851 02:12:30,639 --> 02:12:33,840 and mr coluccio uh last week so that we 2852 02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:35,280 could start talking about some of the 2853 02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:37,440 issues that would be involved in 2854 02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:39,119 reducing the 2855 02:12:39,119 --> 02:12:41,599 speed limit to 25 miles per hour we've 2856 02:12:41,599 --> 02:12:44,639 certainly heard from our residents um 2857 02:12:44,639 --> 02:12:46,400 whether it be the 2858 02:12:46,400 --> 02:12:48,560 sun the united neighborhood association 2859 02:12:48,560 --> 02:12:51,840 or just i'm sure uh it's definitely i'm 2860 02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:53,679 getting calls i got 2861 02:12:53,679 --> 02:12:56,560 emails and calls today um but every week 2862 02:12:56,560 --> 02:12:58,560 probably all of us are hearing from 2863 02:12:58,560 --> 02:13:01,520 residents about the speeding issues that 2864 02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:04,239 are happening in the city as a major 2865 02:13:04,239 --> 02:13:06,800 quality of life issue and a safety issue 2866 02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:10,320 obviously for for our pedestrians as we 2867 02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:11,679 start to think about 2868 02:13:11,679 --> 02:13:13,199 i shouldn't say start to think about but 2869 02:13:13,199 --> 02:13:15,599 as we continue to think about making the 2870 02:13:15,599 --> 02:13:18,639 city more walkable and more bikable um i 2871 02:13:18,639 --> 02:13:20,800 mean this plays into that safety aspect 2872 02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:22,000 as well 2873 02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:22,719 so 2874 02:13:22,719 --> 02:13:24,320 i'm bringing it forward i would like to 2875 02:13:24,320 --> 02:13:26,560 recommend that we actually do 2876 02:13:26,560 --> 02:13:28,079 reduce the 2877 02:13:28,079 --> 02:13:30,960 speed limit to 25 miles per hour within 2878 02:13:30,960 --> 02:13:33,520 the city um also we do have the 2879 02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:35,679 assistant chief and we have mr cruzo 2880 02:13:35,679 --> 02:13:37,920 here um who could speak 2881 02:13:37,920 --> 02:13:40,639 to their side of what they think 2882 02:13:40,639 --> 02:13:42,000 regarding 2883 02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,000 the signage and everything that would go 2884 02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:46,639 into that uh change as well as the 2885 02:13:46,639 --> 02:13:48,960 enforcement issues so if we could maybe 2886 02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:51,599 ask them to come forward 2887 02:13:51,599 --> 02:13:54,629 sure sure 2888 02:13:54,639 --> 02:13:55,760 so yes 2889 02:13:55,760 --> 02:13:59,360 we did a defending defend keeping um 2890 02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:03,199 database of science since about 1999 2891 02:14:03,199 --> 02:14:04,960 you know an actual database we have 2892 02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:07,440 files for all the city streets but in 2893 02:14:07,440 --> 02:14:10,119 the database and there's been about 2894 02:14:10,119 --> 02:14:12,400 141 um 2895 02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:15,199 30 mile an hour speed limits uh in that 2896 02:14:15,199 --> 02:14:16,400 database 2897 02:14:16,400 --> 02:14:19,599 uh installed repaired replace so 2898 02:14:19,599 --> 02:14:22,719 if we added an estimate to that 2899 02:14:22,719 --> 02:14:25,679 maybe we're talking 200 signs that would 2900 02:14:25,679 --> 02:14:28,800 have to be replaced someplace in that 2901 02:14:28,800 --> 02:14:30,480 vicinity because you know you're going 2902 02:14:30,480 --> 02:14:33,199 to get requests for additional signs 2903 02:14:33,199 --> 02:14:34,079 um 2904 02:14:34,079 --> 02:14:36,960 you know over what we have now 2905 02:14:36,960 --> 02:14:43,520 so we're estimating around forty dollars 2906 02:14:43,520 --> 02:14:46,159 a sign or something around there prices 2907 02:14:46,159 --> 02:14:48,800 go up horribly and take forever to get i 2908 02:14:48,800 --> 02:14:50,000 think we're probably 2909 02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:52,480 um if we were going to do this 2910 02:14:52,480 --> 02:14:54,320 i think we're talking three to four 2911 02:14:54,320 --> 02:14:55,679 months at least 2912 02:14:55,679 --> 02:14:57,280 um 2913 02:14:57,280 --> 02:14:59,520 maybe around ten thousand dollars that's 2914 02:14:59,520 --> 02:15:02,159 what i'm estimating um 2915 02:15:02,159 --> 02:15:03,760 for the signs and 2916 02:15:03,760 --> 02:15:06,639 some of the installation 2917 02:15:06,639 --> 02:15:08,480 we talked with the mayor he was we 2918 02:15:08,480 --> 02:15:11,520 talked about uh refurbishing signs and 2919 02:15:11,520 --> 02:15:13,599 yes we can do that but 2920 02:15:13,599 --> 02:15:15,840 i know we need to do this on a 2921 02:15:15,840 --> 02:15:17,920 rather quick basis so that we don't have 2922 02:15:17,920 --> 02:15:21,199 mixed 25s and 30s up in the city which 2923 02:15:21,199 --> 02:15:23,760 will be very confusing um 2924 02:15:23,760 --> 02:15:26,159 and that size sign we actually can use 2925 02:15:26,159 --> 02:15:28,639 for other signs that we have out there 2926 02:15:28,639 --> 02:15:31,119 so i'm not um concerned about wasting 2927 02:15:31,119 --> 02:15:33,520 the metal if you will we resurface most 2928 02:15:33,520 --> 02:15:34,880 of our signs 2929 02:15:34,880 --> 02:15:37,119 so um yeah 2930 02:15:37,119 --> 02:15:40,000 so it's certainly something we can do 2931 02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:43,830 my own couple of comments um 2932 02:15:43,840 --> 02:15:46,000 very difficult to enforce the 30 mile an 2933 02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:48,239 hour speed limit we have out there so i 2934 02:15:48,239 --> 02:15:51,440 don't want anyone to be 2935 02:15:51,440 --> 02:15:54,639 the solution that 25 is going to be any 2936 02:15:54,639 --> 02:15:58,159 easier to enforce um 2937 02:15:58,159 --> 02:15:59,920 you know it's a feel-good thing i think 2938 02:15:59,920 --> 02:16:02,639 that's certainly important that we're 2939 02:16:02,639 --> 02:16:04,400 looking in the right direction 2940 02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:06,400 but it is going to take enforcement and 2941 02:16:06,400 --> 02:16:08,800 maybe that's something that we need to 2942 02:16:08,800 --> 02:16:10,800 consider as far as 2943 02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:14,000 some additional dollars for 2944 02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:15,920 some of that enforcement right off the 2945 02:16:15,920 --> 02:16:19,669 bat to make sure that 2946 02:16:19,679 --> 02:16:21,760 you know we start off in the right 2947 02:16:21,760 --> 02:16:23,440 direction we didn't talk about that 2948 02:16:23,440 --> 02:16:26,079 before but that is definitely 2949 02:16:26,079 --> 02:16:28,960 an avenue that you should consider 2950 02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:30,560 taking to try to make sure that 2951 02:16:30,560 --> 02:16:36,070 enforcement is done 2952 02:16:36,080 --> 02:16:38,000 oh what what do you actually mean by 2953 02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:40,000 enforcement 2954 02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:43,120 and putting speedy tickets yeah 2955 02:16:43,120 --> 02:16:45,679 officers going out in the street 2956 02:16:45,679 --> 02:16:48,240 reminding people of the new speeds 2957 02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:50,479 ticketing when necessary potentially 2958 02:16:50,479 --> 02:16:52,240 ticketing when the 2959 02:16:52,240 --> 02:16:55,359 speed is you know 15 miles over the 2960 02:16:55,359 --> 02:17:08,469 speed limit right maybe i should shut up 2961 02:17:08,479 --> 02:17:10,719 okay so you talked about refurbishing 2962 02:17:10,719 --> 02:17:13,120 the signs of replacing signs 10 000 2963 02:17:13,120 --> 02:17:15,359 about ten thousand dollars so um is 2964 02:17:15,359 --> 02:17:17,280 there an opportunity just to actually 2965 02:17:17,280 --> 02:17:18,719 paint the new numbers onto something 2966 02:17:18,719 --> 02:17:20,559 that could be riveted to the current 2967 02:17:20,559 --> 02:17:23,760 signs so that the cost is not um 2968 02:17:23,760 --> 02:17:26,000 as much and then the signs can actually 2969 02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:28,000 stay in place while you do it it's not 2970 02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:29,439 taking them down to reinstall them 2971 02:17:29,439 --> 02:17:30,719 they're just making out of whatever 2972 02:17:30,719 --> 02:17:32,160 material it's made out of and i don't 2973 02:17:32,160 --> 02:17:34,880 know all the technical terms however 2974 02:17:34,880 --> 02:17:36,399 so that you know stands up to the 2975 02:17:36,399 --> 02:17:38,160 weather et cetera and just riveting it 2976 02:17:38,160 --> 02:17:41,120 over 30 just putting 25 to 30. yeah and 2977 02:17:41,120 --> 02:17:42,880 there would be some cost savings there 2978 02:17:42,880 --> 02:17:46,000 it's possible to buy a you know fine 2979 02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:48,399 metal plate though and put that 25 on it 2980 02:17:48,399 --> 02:17:50,000 i can't go out in the field and do it 2981 02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:51,840 you'd have them all 2982 02:17:51,840 --> 02:17:54,080 cock-eyed 2983 02:17:54,080 --> 02:17:55,920 to do that but yeah we could put them on 2984 02:17:55,920 --> 02:17:57,519 plates and then drill the plates and put 2985 02:17:57,519 --> 02:17:59,439 them on but remember a lot of these 2986 02:17:59,439 --> 02:18:02,960 signs like i said are going back to 1999 2987 02:18:02,960 --> 02:18:05,040 and they're not in a condition that has 2988 02:18:05,040 --> 02:18:06,240 the 2989 02:18:06,240 --> 02:18:08,719 proper retro reflectivity to make sure 2990 02:18:08,719 --> 02:18:11,599 that the signs are visible right as well 2991 02:18:11,599 --> 02:18:14,080 so it's really an opportunity to 2992 02:18:14,080 --> 02:18:15,200 um 2993 02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:17,280 you know again i'm not wasting any metal 2994 02:18:17,280 --> 02:18:18,639 i'm going to take that metal down and 2995 02:18:18,639 --> 02:18:20,800 we're going to put a new face on it and 2996 02:18:20,800 --> 02:18:21,599 put 2997 02:18:21,599 --> 02:18:23,359 either another speed like a sign or some 2998 02:18:23,359 --> 02:18:25,280 other sign that's uh 2999 02:18:25,280 --> 02:18:28,160 24 by 30 inches but the new numbers 3000 02:18:28,160 --> 02:18:29,599 could be reflected 3001 02:18:29,599 --> 02:18:34,080 if you just added the numbers right it's not the proper way to do it i will 3002 02:18:34,080 --> 02:18:35,120 tell you that 3003 02:18:35,120 --> 02:18:36,399 could it be done 3004 02:18:36,399 --> 02:18:38,319 yeah but it's not the proper way to do 3005 02:18:38,319 --> 02:18:39,040 it 3006 02:18:39,040 --> 02:18:41,920 you want the science to be able to um 3007 02:18:41,920 --> 02:18:44,240 be on there you know the signs are dirty 3008 02:18:44,240 --> 02:18:45,840 up there you got to take them down and 3009 02:18:45,840 --> 02:18:48,240 clean them it's it's not that easy to 3010 02:18:48,240 --> 02:18:50,160 process to do that 3011 02:18:50,160 --> 02:18:52,880 especially well i mean i think also um 3012 02:18:52,880 --> 02:18:54,960 we spoke about the fact that if we were 3013 02:18:54,960 --> 02:18:56,620 to make the um 3014 02:18:56,620 --> 02:18:58,080 [Music] 3015 02:18:58,080 --> 02:19:00,240 well i mean there's less science needed 3016 02:19:00,240 --> 02:19:02,639 if we're making this change throughout 3017 02:19:02,639 --> 02:19:04,960 the city's um speed limit now some of 3018 02:19:04,960 --> 02:19:06,399 the streets would still stay at the 3019 02:19:06,399 --> 02:19:09,359 higher speed limit um that are not city 3020 02:19:09,359 --> 02:19:11,120 there's there's stuff within the ledge i 3021 02:19:11,120 --> 02:19:12,479 mean you can speak to this because 3022 02:19:12,479 --> 02:19:14,080 there's a couple of streams in the city 3023 02:19:14,080 --> 02:19:16,719 such as upper state street that has a 3024 02:19:16,719 --> 02:19:19,359 35 mile an hour speed limit and sections 3025 02:19:19,359 --> 02:19:20,880 of erie boulevard that are state 3026 02:19:20,880 --> 02:19:23,359 maintained that are 40 miles an hour but 3027 02:19:23,359 --> 02:19:25,200 i mean the majority of the city if you 3028 02:19:25,200 --> 02:19:28,160 do a city wide would be 25 miles an hour 3029 02:19:28,160 --> 02:19:31,040 except for uh in front of the school 3030 02:19:31,040 --> 02:19:40,790 hosted schools that are 3031 02:19:40,800 --> 02:19:44,160 um although your comments are kind of 3032 02:19:44,160 --> 02:19:45,599 it's not necessarily negative very 3033 02:19:45,599 --> 02:19:47,040 realistic that just lowering the speed 3034 02:19:47,040 --> 02:19:49,520 limit might not just fix this problem 3035 02:19:49,520 --> 02:19:51,920 speeding in the city um but i wanted to 3036 02:19:51,920 --> 02:19:53,200 take this opportunity to ask you have 3037 02:19:53,200 --> 02:19:55,120 you noticed any benefits from the led 3038 02:19:55,120 --> 02:19:56,800 stop signs 3039 02:19:56,800 --> 02:19:58,960 increasing visibility and seeing if that 3040 02:19:58,960 --> 02:20:01,120 actually has paid dividends and 3041 02:20:01,120 --> 02:20:03,760 so that's a really uh good question i'm 3042 02:20:03,760 --> 02:20:06,000 looking for the full year we got about 3043 02:20:06,000 --> 02:20:08,479 six months in on them i've gotten 3044 02:20:08,479 --> 02:20:11,120 extremely positive feedback from uh 3045 02:20:11,120 --> 02:20:15,600 residents uh you know the intersections that we 3046 02:20:15,600 --> 02:20:17,520 placed them you can see those signs uh 3047 02:20:17,520 --> 02:20:18,479 um 3048 02:20:18,479 --> 02:20:19,439 uh 3049 02:20:19,439 --> 02:20:22,080 and then a a whole block or a block and 3050 02:20:22,080 --> 02:20:25,040 a half away um had positive feedback 3051 02:20:25,040 --> 02:20:27,280 from the police department as well i 3052 02:20:27,280 --> 02:20:30,399 think that's a great opportunity but 3053 02:20:30,399 --> 02:20:32,640 i think we need to be careful with them 3054 02:20:32,640 --> 02:20:34,800 and make sure that where we place them 3055 02:20:34,800 --> 02:20:35,920 is 3056 02:20:35,920 --> 02:20:38,640 an intersection or location that needs 3057 02:20:38,640 --> 02:20:42,240 an improvement right we don't um i get 3058 02:20:42,240 --> 02:20:44,319 i'm already receiving requests from 3059 02:20:44,319 --> 02:20:46,640 people that say oh you got one here i 3060 02:20:46,640 --> 02:20:48,560 want one i want one what we you got to 3061 02:20:48,560 --> 02:20:50,880 have a reason right you got either high 3062 02:20:50,880 --> 02:20:58,800 accident volumes or um you know an engineering decision 3063 02:20:58,800 --> 02:21:00,240 based on the geometry of the 3064 02:21:00,240 --> 02:21:01,760 intersection that makes the stop sign 3065 02:21:01,760 --> 02:21:03,920 difficult to see i believe that there 3066 02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:07,600 needs to be um reasons to 3067 02:21:07,600 --> 02:21:10,319 place them i think there's 17 1800 hours 3068 02:21:10,319 --> 02:21:11,680 and not cheap 3069 02:21:11,680 --> 02:21:13,840 not that money you know it's safety 3070 02:21:13,840 --> 02:21:16,880 money it's safety without a doubt but um 3071 02:21:16,880 --> 02:21:18,880 you know if if both things can do the 3072 02:21:18,880 --> 02:21:21,200 same thing then you know why use the 3073 02:21:21,200 --> 02:21:23,600 more expensive uh tool right you know 3074 02:21:23,600 --> 02:21:25,280 why use a 3075 02:21:25,280 --> 02:21:27,920 sledgehammer and a 3076 02:21:27,920 --> 02:21:30,640 hammer holder right so yes i think that 3077 02:21:30,640 --> 02:21:33,840 they work very well um so far but you 3078 02:21:33,840 --> 02:21:35,280 know once the year is up we'll look at 3079 02:21:35,280 --> 02:21:37,520 the accident history for that year and 3080 02:21:37,520 --> 02:21:40,560 see uh we'll get some quantified data to 3081 02:21:40,560 --> 02:21:42,000 be able to come back to you and say yeah 3082 02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:45,280 this is this is a tool that we should um 3083 02:21:45,280 --> 02:21:50,150 you know use on a more regular basis 3084 02:21:50,160 --> 02:21:52,319 before assistant chief speaks i just 3085 02:21:52,319 --> 02:21:54,720 want to say that and i'm going to have 3086 02:21:54,720 --> 02:21:56,080 to read this because i won't be able to 3087 02:21:56,080 --> 02:21:58,160 remember it all but just to speak to 3088 02:21:58,160 --> 02:21:59,680 what you're saying in fact there is 3089 02:21:59,680 --> 02:22:01,600 research that shows first of all if 3090 02:22:01,600 --> 02:22:04,240 you're lowering the speed limit um 3091 02:22:04,240 --> 02:22:06,640 let's say someone gets hit by a car if 3092 02:22:06,640 --> 02:22:09,439 the car is going slower there's 3093 02:22:09,439 --> 02:22:11,439 more of a chance that the person is 3094 02:22:11,439 --> 02:22:12,720 going to live 3095 02:22:12,720 --> 02:22:14,640 that gets hit so there's that piece but 3096 02:22:14,640 --> 02:22:16,560 also there are 3097 02:22:16,560 --> 02:22:18,720 from the insurance institute 3098 02:22:18,720 --> 02:22:20,640 lowering the speed limit just by five 3099 02:22:20,640 --> 02:22:22,960 miles per hour on city street streets 3100 02:22:22,960 --> 02:22:25,439 does improve safety outcomes for 3101 02:22:25,439 --> 02:22:27,359 motorists pedestrians and bicyclists by 3102 02:22:27,359 --> 02:22:29,439 reducing the incidence of speeding the 3103 02:22:29,439 --> 02:22:32,319 study focused on boston which in 2017 3104 02:22:32,319 --> 02:22:34,960 lowered its default speed limit from 30 3105 02:22:34,960 --> 02:22:37,439 to 25 miles per hour they found that 3106 02:22:37,439 --> 02:22:39,200 after the city lowered its speed limit 3107 02:22:39,200 --> 02:22:40,720 the estimated odds of a vehicle 3108 02:22:40,720 --> 02:22:45,359 exceeding 35 miles per hour fell by 29.3 3109 02:22:45,359 --> 02:22:47,840 the uh odds of a vehicle exceeding 30 3110 02:22:47,840 --> 02:22:50,640 miles per hour fell by 8.5 3111 02:22:50,640 --> 02:22:53,520 and by 2.9 percent of exceeding 25 miles 3112 02:22:53,520 --> 02:22:56,240 per hour and the same thing um in the 3113 02:22:56,240 --> 02:22:57,760 new york city in terms of the 3114 02:22:57,760 --> 02:22:59,280 percentages 3115 02:22:59,280 --> 02:23:01,600 of accidents um when they lowered from 3116 02:23:01,600 --> 02:23:04,399 30 to 25 miles per hour as well so there 3117 02:23:04,399 --> 02:23:06,000 actually has been 3118 02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:07,439 research 3119 02:23:07,439 --> 02:23:09,359 that has shown i'm not 3120 02:23:09,359 --> 02:23:11,200 suggesting at all that i think that this 3121 02:23:11,200 --> 02:23:12,720 is going to eliminate the problem of 3122 02:23:12,720 --> 02:23:14,880 speeding and god knows we need to still 3123 02:23:14,880 --> 02:23:16,960 talk about fireworks and noise 3124 02:23:16,960 --> 02:23:20,000 as another topic but i just wanted to 3125 02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:22,240 bring it up as something 3126 02:23:22,240 --> 02:23:25,439 in terms of perhaps it might help us 3127 02:23:25,439 --> 02:23:27,439 get a handle on the speed of machine oh 3128 02:23:27,439 --> 02:23:29,600 mccarthy 3129 02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:31,520 yeah i think we've all gotten the phone 3130 02:23:31,520 --> 02:23:34,720 calls i was feeding or witnessed it 3131 02:23:34,720 --> 02:23:36,399 firsthand 3132 02:23:36,399 --> 02:23:37,520 and 3133 02:23:37,520 --> 02:23:39,760 you know some of it is a big education 3134 02:23:39,760 --> 02:23:43,200 curve to get people to just be compliant 3135 02:23:43,200 --> 02:23:46,560 but it's you know this topic uh 3136 02:23:46,560 --> 02:23:48,800 the next one that the council president 3137 02:23:48,800 --> 02:23:51,280 brought a couple times we've had 3138 02:23:51,280 --> 02:23:53,359 just trouble making the decision where 3139 02:23:53,359 --> 02:23:55,280 to put the one or two 3140 02:23:55,280 --> 02:23:56,240 uh 3141 02:23:56,240 --> 02:23:58,399 speed humps in place 3142 02:23:58,399 --> 02:24:00,880 i mean probably the way to get the 3143 02:24:00,880 --> 02:24:03,280 message out is doing this across the 3144 02:24:03,280 --> 02:24:04,960 board so you're modifying the overall 3145 02:24:04,960 --> 02:24:06,240 speed 3146 02:24:06,240 --> 02:24:07,760 those flashing 3147 02:24:07,760 --> 02:24:10,560 stop signs do have an impact whether 3148 02:24:10,560 --> 02:24:12,960 it's just because they're new 3149 02:24:12,960 --> 02:24:13,680 but 3150 02:24:13,680 --> 02:24:15,040 i seem to 3151 02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:16,080 my 3152 02:24:16,080 --> 02:24:19,840 unofficial or non-scientific observation 3153 02:24:19,840 --> 02:24:21,040 uh 3154 02:24:21,040 --> 02:24:23,520 we seem to getting more compliant so 3155 02:24:23,520 --> 02:24:25,520 if we can do 3156 02:24:25,520 --> 02:24:28,000 the couple of speed humps you do the 3157 02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:29,680 change in the speed 3158 02:24:29,680 --> 02:24:31,680 we do another 3159 02:24:31,680 --> 02:24:34,720 four or five intersections with the 3160 02:24:34,720 --> 02:24:36,240 flashing uh 3161 02:24:36,240 --> 02:24:37,120 lights 3162 02:24:37,120 --> 02:24:38,880 that it 3163 02:24:38,880 --> 02:24:40,800 becomes more of a city-wide message 3164 02:24:40,800 --> 02:24:43,120 that's trying to be more encompassing 3165 02:24:43,120 --> 02:24:44,640 that hopefully will get people's 3166 02:24:44,640 --> 02:24:46,560 attention and 3167 02:24:46,560 --> 02:24:48,080 again 3168 02:24:48,080 --> 02:24:50,399 raise the level of compliance 3169 02:24:50,399 --> 02:24:52,640 and simultaneously then you can do some 3170 02:24:52,640 --> 02:24:54,640 enforcement when you do the enforcement 3171 02:24:54,640 --> 02:24:57,120 you always push back over being overly 3172 02:24:57,120 --> 02:24:58,560 aggressive nobody likes getting the 3173 02:24:58,560 --> 02:25:00,240 ticket 3174 02:25:00,240 --> 02:25:02,000 and it's how do you 3175 02:25:02,000 --> 02:25:04,720 just educate people to 3176 02:25:04,720 --> 02:25:06,720 play by the rules and we all benefit 3177 02:25:06,720 --> 02:25:07,760 from that 3178 02:25:07,760 --> 02:25:10,319 that's from me so two things first of 3179 02:25:10,319 --> 02:25:12,880 all with the insurance companies 3180 02:25:12,880 --> 02:25:14,240 uh given that 3181 02:25:14,240 --> 02:25:16,399 if we do this they'll probably save lots 3182 02:25:16,399 --> 02:25:18,960 of money we should approach them and try 3183 02:25:18,960 --> 02:25:20,800 to get something from them 3184 02:25:20,800 --> 02:25:27,110 um 3185 02:25:27,120 --> 02:25:29,760 and secondly with the enforcement piece 3186 02:25:29,760 --> 02:25:32,640 the technological component 3187 02:25:32,640 --> 02:25:35,280 is an important piece in regards like 3188 02:25:35,280 --> 02:25:37,680 speed cameras and things like that 3189 02:25:37,680 --> 02:25:39,760 right now we're restricted to just 3190 02:25:39,760 --> 02:25:41,359 around school 3191 02:25:41,359 --> 02:25:44,080 if we get home rule for that 3192 02:25:44,080 --> 02:25:44,880 um 3193 02:25:44,880 --> 02:25:47,040 i don't believe we did 3194 02:25:47,040 --> 02:25:49,680 so i think we should also 3195 02:25:49,680 --> 02:25:52,000 make a resolution asking the state for 3196 02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:54,960 an end to home rule and things like that 3197 02:25:54,960 --> 02:25:57,040 so that we can 3198 02:25:57,040 --> 02:25:58,720 do the things that we need in our 3199 02:25:58,720 --> 02:26:01,520 community not just us but across the 3200 02:26:01,520 --> 02:26:02,479 state 3201 02:26:02,479 --> 02:26:03,359 and 3202 02:26:03,359 --> 02:26:05,600 i would recommend we do a resolution 3203 02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:08,960 asking mistake to do that 3204 02:26:08,960 --> 02:26:11,680 just in follows that where the 3205 02:26:11,680 --> 02:26:13,520 cameras around the school 3206 02:26:13,520 --> 02:26:17,200 we are able today to 3207 02:26:17,200 --> 02:26:18,720 i say we 3208 02:26:18,720 --> 02:26:21,439 the global community you can put 3209 02:26:21,439 --> 02:26:27,520 cameras on school buses that will fly 3210 02:26:27,520 --> 02:26:30,000 i mean the license plate reader so when 3211 02:26:30,000 --> 02:26:31,040 a car 3212 02:26:31,040 --> 02:26:33,120 goes past the bus that is stopped the 3213 02:26:33,120 --> 02:26:36,080 lights flashing uh and the fine on that 3214 02:26:36,080 --> 02:26:38,110 is i think 250 dollars 3215 02:26:38,110 --> 02:26:39,600 [Music] 3216 02:26:39,600 --> 02:26:40,880 i 3217 02:26:40,880 --> 02:26:42,399 entitled having a conversation with 3218 02:26:42,399 --> 02:26:44,800 school superintendent 3219 02:26:44,800 --> 02:26:46,080 would require 3220 02:26:46,080 --> 02:26:46,840 their 3221 02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:49,200 participation uh some activity in the 3222 02:26:49,200 --> 02:26:50,800 county but 3223 02:26:50,800 --> 02:26:53,840 i think that would 3224 02:26:53,840 --> 02:26:54,800 give us 3225 02:26:54,800 --> 02:26:56,560 a higher level of 3226 02:26:56,560 --> 02:26:58,960 compliance it's probably going to be in 3227 02:26:58,960 --> 02:27:00,399 the short term where people are still 3228 02:27:00,399 --> 02:27:01,600 violating you're going to get some 3229 02:27:01,600 --> 02:27:02,640 revenue 3230 02:27:02,640 --> 02:27:05,120 that might offset some of the costs 3231 02:27:05,120 --> 02:27:07,439 where we're either doing the upgrades on 3232 02:27:07,439 --> 02:27:09,040 the stop signs or 3233 02:27:09,040 --> 02:27:11,680 put in more speed humps and 3234 02:27:11,680 --> 02:27:13,920 get the 3235 02:27:13,920 --> 02:27:15,040 again 3236 02:27:15,040 --> 02:27:20,870 overall speed down across the city 3237 02:27:20,880 --> 02:27:23,600 uh any other questions or comments 3238 02:27:23,600 --> 02:27:24,800 sounds pretty 3239 02:27:24,800 --> 02:27:27,429 i think 3240 02:27:27,439 --> 02:27:34,309 oh 3241 02:27:34,319 --> 02:27:36,240 plenty of time in advance to let people 3242 02:27:36,240 --> 02:27:39,920 know to do public awareness campaigns 3243 02:27:39,920 --> 02:27:42,240 what's going on you know and do a race 3244 02:27:42,240 --> 02:27:44,240 period and possibly a time to let people 3245 02:27:44,240 --> 02:27:45,920 know what we're doing and then again 3246 02:27:45,920 --> 02:27:47,600 also just don't expect that they've 3247 02:27:47,600 --> 02:27:49,760 changed overnight as far as compliance 3248 02:27:49,760 --> 02:27:51,439 goes with everybody going slower in the 3249 02:27:51,439 --> 02:27:53,600 city uh majority of you going slower in 3250 02:27:53,600 --> 02:27:55,920 the city then i think that should help 3251 02:27:55,920 --> 02:28:00,080 the masses 3252 02:28:00,090 --> 02:28:13,670 [Music] 3253 02:28:13,680 --> 02:28:14,399 so 3254 02:28:14,399 --> 02:28:16,080 thank you absolutely for your question 3255 02:28:16,080 --> 02:28:18,640 so are you suggesting that we're 3256 02:28:18,640 --> 02:28:20,319 just just for a discussion of our public 3257 02:28:20,319 --> 02:28:21,520 hearing are we waiting for the building 3258 02:28:21,520 --> 02:28:23,760 to sign well um i don't actually think 3259 02:28:23,760 --> 02:28:26,640 that we need a public hearing on this 3260 02:28:26,640 --> 02:28:29,040 issue so i know that we would have to 3261 02:28:29,040 --> 02:28:30,720 obviously wait for the governor to sign 3262 02:28:30,720 --> 02:28:33,040 this into actual 3263 02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:35,120 law but i would like to actually move 3264 02:28:35,120 --> 02:28:38,160 this out of our committee this evening 3265 02:28:38,160 --> 02:28:39,920 with that understanding that if the 3266 02:28:39,920 --> 02:28:40,960 governor 3267 02:28:40,960 --> 02:28:43,280 or i should say when the governor i hope 3268 02:28:43,280 --> 02:28:44,720 um 3269 02:28:44,720 --> 02:28:47,120 would approve what the uh assembly and 3270 02:28:47,120 --> 02:28:50,000 senate have already passed um that we 3271 02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:52,880 would indeed lower our city's wide speed 3272 02:28:52,880 --> 02:28:55,680 limit to 25 miles per hour so i would 3273 02:28:55,680 --> 02:28:57,680 like to move that tonight you could move 3274 02:28:57,680 --> 02:28:59,680 it out to send a resolution to the 3275 02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:01,600 governor encouraging her to sign the 3276 02:29:01,600 --> 02:29:03,280 legislation 3277 02:29:03,280 --> 02:29:05,520 would that be a separate or the same 3278 02:29:05,520 --> 02:29:07,680 thing you can do as many things as you 3279 02:29:07,680 --> 02:29:11,270 want yeah 3280 02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:12,960 it's working i i think that during the 3281 02:29:12,960 --> 02:29:14,240 resolution the mayor says to encourage 3282 02:29:14,240 --> 02:29:16,240 them and then passing arms once those 3283 02:29:16,240 --> 02:29:17,439 assigned just 3284 02:29:17,439 --> 02:29:19,120 i just like do things like in order 3285 02:29:19,120 --> 02:29:20,880 that's just you know so that's that 3286 02:29:20,880 --> 02:29:24,080 would be my suggestion and also um 3287 02:29:24,080 --> 02:29:26,000 do we need to talk about the education 3288 02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:27,520 considering i'm glad that ac group will 3289 02:29:27,520 --> 02:29:29,359 brought that up because when we're 3290 02:29:29,359 --> 02:29:31,920 changing policies in the city um i i'm 3291 02:29:31,920 --> 02:29:33,439 not sure we always do the best job quite 3292 02:29:33,439 --> 02:29:35,520 frankly of letting people know that this 3293 02:29:35,520 --> 02:29:37,600 is changing so i appreciate you bringing 3294 02:29:37,600 --> 02:29:38,720 that up and that we should just 3295 02:29:38,720 --> 02:29:40,560 definitely um figure out an education 3296 02:29:40,560 --> 02:29:42,660 campaign around that 3297 02:29:42,660 --> 02:29:44,000 [Music] 3298 02:29:44,000 --> 02:29:46,160 so spectrum well so i had made emotions 3299 02:29:46,160 --> 02:29:47,920 so i guess i would have to withdraw that 3300 02:29:47,920 --> 02:29:50,160 motion if we were going or add a 3301 02:29:50,160 --> 02:29:52,240 separate motion i don't actually just do 3302 02:29:52,240 --> 02:29:53,439 it this way 3303 02:29:53,439 --> 02:29:55,840 just a different motion 3304 02:29:55,840 --> 02:29:57,760 because nobody seconded it okay so my 3305 02:29:57,760 --> 02:29:59,920 first motion would be that we 3306 02:29:59,920 --> 02:30:01,040 uh 3307 02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:03,040 create a resolution 3308 02:30:03,040 --> 02:30:04,720 but that we 3309 02:30:04,720 --> 02:30:08,240 would encourage the governor to um sign 3310 02:30:08,240 --> 02:30:12,160 off on the uh on the legislation 3311 02:30:12,160 --> 02:30:14,080 i i have the specific numbers if you 3312 02:30:14,080 --> 02:30:15,600 need that but 3313 02:30:15,600 --> 02:30:19,520 yeah right yep it's to uh 3314 02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:21,120 to 3315 02:30:21,120 --> 02:30:22,960 approve the 3316 02:30:22,960 --> 02:30:24,160 um 3317 02:30:24,160 --> 02:30:27,760 the bills that were passed in the senate 3318 02:30:27,760 --> 02:30:30,319 and the assembly to amend 3319 02:30:30,319 --> 02:30:33,520 vehicle and traffic loss section 1643 3320 02:30:33,520 --> 02:30:35,840 can reduce the um 3321 02:30:35,840 --> 02:30:38,720 minimum speed limit to 25 miles per hour 3322 02:30:38,720 --> 02:30:40,479 yeah the till the city expanding do you 3323 02:30:40,479 --> 02:30:41,920 have the bill numbers it's uh senate 3324 02:30:41,920 --> 02:30:44,960 bill number 2021 3325 02:30:44,960 --> 02:30:46,640 i don't have the assembly number offhand 3326 02:30:46,640 --> 02:30:49,200 okay i'm thinking let's look at that 3327 02:30:49,200 --> 02:30:50,399 the last time i looked i don't believe 3328 02:30:50,399 --> 02:30:53,040 they had transmitted that legislation to 3329 02:30:53,040 --> 02:30:55,520 the governor so it's still just time to 3330 02:30:55,520 --> 02:30:57,840 act down and they actually send it to 3331 02:30:57,840 --> 02:31:12,950 the government the governor has 3332 02:31:12,960 --> 02:31:14,560 to make the motion that once this is 3333 02:31:14,560 --> 02:31:16,479 signed by the governor that the city of 3334 02:31:16,479 --> 02:31:18,640 schenectady would lower its 3335 02:31:18,640 --> 02:31:21,680 city's speed limit to 25 miles per hour 3336 02:31:21,680 --> 02:31:24,000 um can i just go back to the council on 3337 02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:25,359 council 3338 02:31:25,359 --> 02:31:27,280 going in order i would just like to see 3339 02:31:27,280 --> 02:31:29,040 this little sign before i mean you can 3340 02:31:29,040 --> 02:31:30,960 do it immediately after 3341 02:31:30,960 --> 02:31:33,830 so because 3342 02:31:33,840 --> 02:31:35,280 i'm sure once the governor gets the 3343 02:31:35,280 --> 02:31:36,800 resolution from the council she's going 3344 02:31:36,800 --> 02:31:37,840 to say 3345 02:31:37,840 --> 02:31:40,950 oh yeah yeah 3346 02:31:40,960 --> 02:31:42,720 but i just feel like you know once you 3347 02:31:42,720 --> 02:31:43,760 find that we would then pass that 3348 02:31:43,760 --> 02:31:46,240 resolution that to me just makes sense 3349 02:31:46,240 --> 02:31:47,600 in terms of that 3350 02:31:47,600 --> 02:31:48,399 so 3351 02:31:48,399 --> 02:31:50,560 i hear what you're saying um i just know 3352 02:31:50,560 --> 02:31:51,439 that 3353 02:31:51,439 --> 02:31:53,840 in speaking with mr cluccio for example 3354 02:31:53,840 --> 02:31:57,760 um if we were able to well 3355 02:31:57,760 --> 02:31:59,040 i mean we're going to have to be ready 3356 02:31:59,040 --> 02:32:01,120 to go in terms of ordering signage in 3357 02:32:01,120 --> 02:32:03,040 terms of 3358 02:32:03,040 --> 02:32:05,439 seeing what the staffing level is going 3359 02:32:05,439 --> 02:32:08,000 to be like thinking about the education 3360 02:32:08,000 --> 02:32:09,439 um i think 3361 02:32:09,439 --> 02:32:10,640 you know i think this is something that 3362 02:32:10,640 --> 02:32:12,160 we've been talking about for over two 3363 02:32:12,160 --> 02:32:14,800 years now um well i mean i've only been 3364 02:32:14,800 --> 02:32:16,080 on council for two and a half years and 3365 02:32:16,080 --> 02:32:18,000 we've been talking about it that whole 3366 02:32:18,000 --> 02:32:19,760 time so i just don't want it to be 3367 02:32:19,760 --> 02:32:21,359 something that lingers out there and 3368 02:32:21,359 --> 02:32:23,840 that no action is taken by this council 3369 02:32:23,840 --> 02:32:25,520 on something that i think that you know 3370 02:32:25,520 --> 02:32:27,840 our residents have clearly communicated 3371 02:32:27,840 --> 02:32:30,640 to us that they want they want something 3372 02:32:30,640 --> 02:32:32,960 like this to happen so 3373 02:32:32,960 --> 02:32:34,960 i i don't think that we linger out there 3374 02:32:34,960 --> 02:32:36,399 i mean once she finds him with the 3375 02:32:36,399 --> 02:32:37,680 immediate order signs because we know 3376 02:32:37,680 --> 02:32:39,200 this is coming so i don't think it would 3377 02:32:39,200 --> 02:32:41,520 be lingering out there um mr camuccio 3378 02:32:41,520 --> 02:32:42,960 said how many months is going to get to 3379 02:32:42,960 --> 02:32:43,840 do that 3380 02:32:43,840 --> 02:32:45,760 since things have been so slow i'm 3381 02:32:45,760 --> 02:32:49,830 guessing four months before i get it 3382 02:32:49,840 --> 02:32:55,820 so i 3383 02:32:55,830 --> 02:33:04,550 [Music] 3384 02:33:04,560 --> 02:33:06,479 if the city engineer signs this people 3385 02:33:06,479 --> 02:33:08,880 and do they have to have the resolution 3386 02:33:08,880 --> 02:33:10,640 doing it on their own is it a resolution 3387 02:33:10,640 --> 02:33:12,160 advising the city engineer to set the 3388 02:33:12,160 --> 02:33:15,190 speed limit 3389 02:33:15,200 --> 02:33:17,359 that's a question for well i i don't 3390 02:33:17,359 --> 02:33:18,160 know if i have the privilege of the 3391 02:33:18,160 --> 02:33:19,680 floor to speak on that 3392 02:33:19,680 --> 02:33:21,280 and 3393 02:33:21,280 --> 02:33:22,880 it's full thank you 3394 02:33:22,880 --> 02:33:26,800 um so right now uh section 248 11 of the 3395 02:33:26,800 --> 02:33:29,040 city code um 3396 02:33:29,040 --> 02:33:31,040 grants the city engineer the ability to 3397 02:33:31,040 --> 02:33:32,640 among other things set the rules and 3398 02:33:32,640 --> 02:33:34,080 regulations related to speed limits 3399 02:33:34,080 --> 02:33:36,160 throughout the city 3400 02:33:36,160 --> 02:33:37,520 that's something that the city council 3401 02:33:37,520 --> 02:33:39,600 previously granted authority to the city 3402 02:33:39,600 --> 02:33:42,640 engineer however the city council may 3403 02:33:42,640 --> 02:33:45,359 modify or repeal those rules and 3404 02:33:45,359 --> 02:33:47,280 regulations as set by the city engineer 3405 02:33:47,280 --> 02:33:48,560 by resolution 3406 02:33:48,560 --> 02:33:49,680 so the city 3407 02:33:49,680 --> 02:33:51,120 council can act 3408 02:33:51,120 --> 02:33:53,280 uh unitarily to 3409 02:33:53,280 --> 02:33:55,280 change those rules 3410 02:33:55,280 --> 02:33:56,240 um 3411 02:33:56,240 --> 02:33:58,160 obviously through a resolution that 3412 02:33:58,160 --> 02:33:59,359 would you know 3413 02:33:59,359 --> 02:34:00,960 essentially have to be either approved 3414 02:34:00,960 --> 02:34:04,319 by the mayor or if you know veto 3415 02:34:04,319 --> 02:34:06,080 going through the process 3416 02:34:06,080 --> 02:34:09,680 um that being said as a practical matter 3417 02:34:09,680 --> 02:34:11,680 and i think mr caluccio brought that up 3418 02:34:11,680 --> 02:34:13,520 brought this up there are certain 3419 02:34:13,520 --> 02:34:15,520 streets in the city that you know are 3420 02:34:15,520 --> 02:34:17,840 not 30 miles an hour they're 35 miles 3421 02:34:17,840 --> 02:34:19,760 per hour on i think upper state street 3422 02:34:19,760 --> 02:34:21,280 perhaps 3423 02:34:21,280 --> 02:34:23,040 it's obviously uh something the city 3424 02:34:23,040 --> 02:34:25,040 council should consider when 3425 02:34:25,040 --> 02:34:27,680 um if they're going to take action to 3426 02:34:27,680 --> 02:34:29,280 determine if it's going to be every 3427 02:34:29,280 --> 02:34:31,200 single city street 3428 02:34:31,200 --> 02:34:32,560 within our jurisdiction that's going to 3429 02:34:32,560 --> 02:34:35,760 be set at 25 miles per hour 3430 02:34:35,760 --> 02:34:37,920 and you know there may be traffic 3431 02:34:37,920 --> 02:34:40,000 implications that the city council may 3432 02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:42,000 want to think about 3433 02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:44,000 i know i've talked to mr wallin briefly 3434 02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:45,280 about it i haven't had an opportunity to 3435 02:34:45,280 --> 02:34:48,000 speak to mr galluccio about it um 3436 02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:50,160 but you know i think if you're going to 3437 02:34:50,160 --> 02:34:52,000 pass a resolution at some point in time 3438 02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:54,000 it's are you doing this with a broad 3439 02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:55,760 stroke and everything's going to be 25 3440 02:34:55,760 --> 02:34:57,280 and then within city streets that we 3441 02:34:57,280 --> 02:35:00,880 have control over or is it going to be 3442 02:35:00,880 --> 02:35:02,640 only certain streets 3443 02:35:02,640 --> 02:35:04,720 you know absent you know you know maybe 3444 02:35:04,720 --> 02:35:05,520 it's 3445 02:35:05,520 --> 02:35:07,840 not upper state street that's currently 3446 02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:10,000 35 maybe we want to reduce that to 30 3447 02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:12,880 miles per hour just things to consider 3448 02:35:12,880 --> 02:35:15,600 rather than just painting with a broad 3449 02:35:15,600 --> 02:35:18,150 stroke 3450 02:35:18,160 --> 02:35:19,040 i think 3451 02:35:19,040 --> 02:35:20,880 i might have misunderstood what i was 3452 02:35:20,880 --> 02:35:22,960 learning which was that i thought that 3453 02:35:22,960 --> 02:35:24,800 some of the streets that were at the 3454 02:35:24,800 --> 02:35:27,120 higher speed limit we're not under our 3455 02:35:27,120 --> 02:35:28,160 control 3456 02:35:28,160 --> 02:35:29,520 um 3457 02:35:29,520 --> 02:35:31,200 and that that's why 3458 02:35:31,200 --> 02:35:34,720 those speed limits would remain in place 3459 02:35:34,720 --> 02:35:36,960 yeah if i if i may that that would only 3460 02:35:36,960 --> 02:35:48,790 be the erie bullhorn piece that's 3461 02:35:48,800 --> 02:35:50,960 allows the city to 3462 02:35:50,960 --> 02:35:53,680 make an individual street 25 miles an 3463 02:35:53,680 --> 02:35:54,800 hour 3464 02:35:54,800 --> 02:35:56,080 just not 3465 02:35:56,080 --> 02:35:57,280 the city 3466 02:35:57,280 --> 02:36:04,300 in totality 3467 02:36:04,310 --> 02:36:05,600 [Music] 3468 02:36:05,600 --> 02:36:07,439 i would also like us to consider a 3469 02:36:07,439 --> 02:36:08,399 resolution 3470 02:36:08,399 --> 02:36:09,840 to the state 3471 02:36:09,840 --> 02:36:12,479 getting rid of the whole 3472 02:36:12,479 --> 02:36:15,840 designation it's an antiquated 3473 02:36:15,840 --> 02:36:17,840 ruling that the state has 3474 02:36:17,840 --> 02:36:21,200 and it allows local communities to 3475 02:36:21,200 --> 02:36:26,309 operate in a way they see fit 3476 02:36:26,319 --> 02:36:35,429 i'm not on the committee so 3477 02:36:35,439 --> 02:36:38,800 case um point uh console road back in 3478 02:36:38,800 --> 02:36:41,760 85 or around there that was changed to 3479 02:36:41,760 --> 02:36:43,439 25 miles on that 3480 02:36:43,439 --> 02:36:44,880 so that that's the only street in the 3481 02:36:44,880 --> 02:36:48,080 city that i can think of that is 25 3482 02:36:48,080 --> 02:36:54,710 miles an hour 3483 02:36:54,720 --> 02:36:56,560 there's a stop sign on like every almost 3484 02:36:56,560 --> 02:36:58,560 every other corner on console road you 3485 02:36:58,560 --> 02:37:02,080 have to stop multiple times 3486 02:37:02,080 --> 02:37:05,740 what's that 1895. 3487 02:37:05,750 --> 02:37:08,319 [Music] 3488 02:37:08,319 --> 02:37:09,600 well i don't think i have a second on 3489 02:37:09,600 --> 02:37:11,120 the motion that i made 3490 02:37:11,120 --> 02:37:13,680 did you finish it all right um yeah but 3491 02:37:13,680 --> 02:37:15,760 i didn't sounds like 3492 02:37:15,760 --> 02:37:26,309 discussion 3493 02:37:26,319 --> 02:37:28,000 actually um 3494 02:37:28,000 --> 02:37:29,359 you know saying what the speed limit 3495 02:37:29,359 --> 02:37:33,520 would be i think it warrants i'm sorry if i if i 3496 02:37:33,520 --> 02:37:35,359 misspoke and i'm sorry to just interrupt 3497 02:37:35,359 --> 02:37:36,800 you um 3498 02:37:36,800 --> 02:37:38,240 right now the city engineer has the 3499 02:37:38,240 --> 02:37:40,399 authority to set what the speed limit is 3500 02:37:40,399 --> 02:37:42,800 in the city however the council can 3501 02:37:42,800 --> 02:37:44,640 still act to 3502 02:37:44,640 --> 02:37:46,800 modify whatever the speed limit is in 3503 02:37:46,800 --> 02:37:49,040 the city 3504 02:37:49,040 --> 02:37:50,880 by resolution 3505 02:37:50,880 --> 02:37:52,880 so if the city engineer said well i'm 3506 02:37:52,880 --> 02:37:55,200 gonna the law is changing right the law 3507 02:37:55,200 --> 02:37:57,840 changes city engineer can uniformly set 3508 02:37:57,840 --> 02:38:00,000 and uniformly say it's going to be 20 3509 02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:02,000 mile 25 miles per hour on those city 3510 02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:04,399 streets city council can certainly 3511 02:38:04,399 --> 02:38:06,720 hypothetically act on its own 3512 02:38:06,720 --> 02:38:08,479 to modify 3513 02:38:08,479 --> 02:38:12,080 that rule of the city engineer 3514 02:38:12,080 --> 02:38:13,920 to say no it's not going to be 25 it's 3515 02:38:13,920 --> 02:38:15,439 going to we're going to keep it at 30. 3516 02:38:15,439 --> 02:38:17,120 that's obviously uh you know this is a 3517 02:38:17,120 --> 02:38:19,359 hypothetical but 3518 02:38:19,359 --> 02:38:21,120 whereas the city engineer has the power 3519 02:38:21,120 --> 02:38:24,399 to do it so does the city council 3520 02:38:24,399 --> 02:38:26,240 so it said based on that determination 3521 02:38:26,240 --> 02:38:27,359 absolutely if someone has another 3522 02:38:27,359 --> 02:38:28,399 comment just 3523 02:38:28,399 --> 02:38:30,479 indicate that i would say if the city 3524 02:38:30,479 --> 02:38:32,080 engineers are already able to function 3525 02:38:32,080 --> 02:38:35,200 absent our resolution which could be 3526 02:38:35,200 --> 02:38:37,200 made out of order i think it's important 3527 02:38:37,200 --> 02:38:39,760 for us to remain in line with presidents 3528 02:38:39,760 --> 02:38:42,399 especially that's not going to 3529 02:38:42,399 --> 02:38:43,920 negatively affect the timeline for them 3530 02:38:43,920 --> 02:38:45,840 accomplishing this which it sounds like 3531 02:38:45,840 --> 02:38:47,280 they will already have an authority to 3532 02:38:47,280 --> 02:38:48,960 institute this once governor vocal 3533 02:38:48,960 --> 02:38:52,870 science 3534 02:38:52,880 --> 02:38:55,120 that means in other words let me try to 3535 02:38:55,120 --> 02:38:57,680 i'm a little confused here so what 3536 02:38:57,680 --> 02:38:59,920 you're saying is rather than us saying 3537 02:38:59,920 --> 02:39:02,640 let's lower the speed limit to 25 we'd 3538 02:39:02,640 --> 02:39:05,200 be hoping that the city engineer would 3539 02:39:05,200 --> 02:39:07,760 lower the speed limit to 25. no i'm 3540 02:39:07,760 --> 02:39:10,000 saying that once governor uncle signs it 3541 02:39:10,000 --> 02:39:12,080 rather than putting forth a resolution 3542 02:39:12,080 --> 02:39:14,080 before she signs it remaining in 3543 02:39:14,080 --> 02:39:15,680 precedence with how things normally 3544 02:39:15,680 --> 02:39:17,680 outline especially that's not going to 3545 02:39:17,680 --> 02:39:19,680 negatively implicate 3546 02:39:19,680 --> 02:39:21,280 them getting this started before 3547 02:39:21,280 --> 02:39:25,349 speaking again 3548 02:39:25,359 --> 02:39:26,880 so i'll say if we're going to put forth 3549 02:39:26,880 --> 02:39:28,640 he's just saying wait until it's passed 3550 02:39:28,640 --> 02:39:30,800 no i know i i guess i think that that's 3551 02:39:30,800 --> 02:39:31,840 what 3552 02:39:31,840 --> 02:39:35,359 i'm hearing from both ms porterfield and 3553 02:39:35,359 --> 02:39:36,720 it sounds like we could ask the city 3554 02:39:36,720 --> 02:39:39,600 engineer to do that i mean 3555 02:39:39,600 --> 02:39:41,280 does he i'm gonna i can't wait to read 3556 02:39:41,280 --> 02:39:43,359 this uh 3557 02:39:43,359 --> 02:39:45,280 this ordinance because based on what you 3558 02:39:45,280 --> 02:39:46,640 said that he could just do that i mean 3559 02:39:46,640 --> 02:39:48,640 what is it yes he could just do that 3560 02:39:48,640 --> 02:39:49,680 okay 3561 02:39:49,680 --> 02:39:51,730 i'm getting a guess even if the 3562 02:39:51,730 --> 02:39:59,030 [Music] 3563 02:39:59,040 --> 02:39:59,760 i 3564 02:39:59,760 --> 02:40:02,479 haven't read the full legislation what 3565 02:40:02,479 --> 02:40:04,160 does it say this will take effect 3566 02:40:04,160 --> 02:40:06,399 immediately it'll take effect december 3567 02:40:06,399 --> 02:40:08,160 31st 3568 02:40:08,160 --> 02:40:11,520 then the draft is immediately okay 3569 02:40:11,520 --> 02:40:13,279 immediately i think it's section four of 3570 02:40:13,279 --> 02:40:15,020 the yeah 3571 02:40:15,020 --> 02:40:29,590 [Music] 3572 02:40:29,600 --> 02:40:34,230 and i kind of think he would 3573 02:40:34,240 --> 02:40:36,479 and then in terms of your motion i think 3574 02:40:36,479 --> 02:40:38,640 i have to say that it seems like that is 3575 02:40:38,640 --> 02:40:42,080 more like government operations but um i 3576 02:40:42,080 --> 02:40:44,160 don't you know because that's a general 3577 02:40:44,160 --> 02:40:45,520 i think what you're suggesting goes 3578 02:40:45,520 --> 02:40:47,439 beyond public safety 3579 02:40:47,439 --> 02:40:48,640 into 3580 02:40:48,640 --> 02:40:51,040 more general operations 3581 02:40:51,040 --> 02:40:53,359 i mean it doesn't matter i mean it's a 3582 02:40:53,359 --> 02:40:55,520 resolution to the governor 3583 02:40:55,520 --> 02:40:58,160 and and to our assemblies they uh state 3584 02:40:58,160 --> 02:41:00,880 assembly and senators i mean it goes 3585 02:41:00,880 --> 02:41:03,120 across a variety of things but 3586 02:41:03,120 --> 02:41:06,080 it's an antiquated 3587 02:41:06,080 --> 02:41:08,080 law that the state has and it's about 3588 02:41:08,080 --> 02:41:10,640 time that we have 3589 02:41:10,640 --> 02:41:12,680 as local 3590 02:41:12,680 --> 02:41:15,520 municipalities the ability to do what we 3591 02:41:15,520 --> 02:41:17,520 see fit 3592 02:41:17,520 --> 02:41:20,240 so i still think we should move forward 3593 02:41:20,240 --> 02:41:22,319 with that 3594 02:41:22,319 --> 02:41:24,000 i agree that we should however i think 3595 02:41:24,000 --> 02:41:25,359 that we should make sure all the 3596 02:41:25,359 --> 02:41:26,800 information is here that we you know 3597 02:41:26,800 --> 02:41:28,960 have in our packets review etc 3598 02:41:28,960 --> 02:41:30,640 and read on it and then meet up on it so 3599 02:41:30,640 --> 02:41:32,080 if you could bring that 3600 02:41:32,080 --> 02:41:33,520 i would suggest in two weeks because i 3601 02:41:33,520 --> 02:41:34,960 don't disagree 3602 02:41:34,960 --> 02:41:37,040 that we should do that i don't know what 3603 02:41:37,040 --> 02:41:39,279 you need other because it's basically 3604 02:41:39,279 --> 02:41:41,359 saying we want to enter home rule 3605 02:41:41,359 --> 02:41:43,439 legislation 3606 02:41:43,439 --> 02:41:47,120 um so if you tell me what you want 3607 02:41:47,120 --> 02:41:48,960 so so what's the word what it currently 3608 02:41:48,960 --> 02:41:50,560 says and what you want the resolution to 3609 02:41:50,560 --> 02:41:52,240 say i'd like to see that in writing 3610 02:41:52,240 --> 02:41:53,760 that's just 3611 02:41:53,760 --> 02:41:57,470 who i am 3612 02:41:57,480 --> 02:42:02,230 [Music] 3613 02:42:02,240 --> 02:42:04,160 are there any other comments or topics 3614 02:42:04,160 --> 02:42:14,230 to befall the public safety committee 3615 02:42:14,240 --> 02:42:16,240 all right paul guys thank you uh so 3616 02:42:16,240 --> 02:42:18,000 we're going to move to the next agenda 3617 02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:19,680 item which is going to be discussion for 3618 02:42:19,680 --> 02:42:21,439 installing speed humps and i'll be 3619 02:42:21,439 --> 02:42:23,120 pleased to buy one 3620 02:42:23,120 --> 02:42:24,800 so i won't spend a long time because we 3621 02:42:24,800 --> 02:42:26,000 just spent a long time and i think the 3622 02:42:26,000 --> 02:42:28,000 mayor also mentioned sweet homes and 3623 02:42:28,000 --> 02:42:29,520 this is something that we decided well 3624 02:42:29,520 --> 02:42:31,040 over two years ago that we were going to 3625 02:42:31,040 --> 02:42:32,880 do my understanding is that they were 3626 02:42:32,880 --> 02:42:35,120 ordered um i'm not sure where we are 3627 02:42:35,120 --> 02:42:38,479 with that and um mr caluccio had spoken 3628 02:42:38,479 --> 02:42:42,000 to like you need to know where the um 3629 02:42:42,000 --> 02:42:43,680 where they were best needed by doing 3630 02:42:43,680 --> 02:42:46,720 traffic studies and all that um 3631 02:42:46,720 --> 02:42:48,560 i definitely know that you know we need 3632 02:42:48,560 --> 02:42:50,319 to do something because the cars are 3633 02:42:50,319 --> 02:42:52,560 just flying down the street like i mean 3634 02:42:52,560 --> 02:42:54,640 it's not even 35 it's not even 40 some 3635 02:42:54,640 --> 02:42:56,960 of them wait how fast they're going so 3636 02:42:56,960 --> 02:42:58,720 um and i think we talked about more than 3637 02:42:58,720 --> 02:43:01,279 two so we can go back and look i don't 3638 02:43:01,279 --> 02:43:02,720 remember the number 3639 02:43:02,720 --> 02:43:04,880 um that we looked at but we definitely 3640 02:43:04,880 --> 02:43:05,920 um 3641 02:43:05,920 --> 02:43:07,040 said that was something i'm going to do 3642 02:43:07,040 --> 02:43:09,200 several years ago so i think we should 3643 02:43:09,200 --> 02:43:11,279 definitely revisit it now and as we're 3644 02:43:11,279 --> 02:43:15,830 doing all of this to incorporate that 3645 02:43:15,840 --> 02:43:17,920 uh comments 3646 02:43:17,920 --> 02:43:20,000 mr well do you remember 3647 02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:34,950 how many or how long well 3648 02:43:34,960 --> 02:43:38,160 and i've been um with 3649 02:43:38,160 --> 02:43:40,160 assistant chief whipple and john 3650 02:43:40,160 --> 02:43:42,960 during this we were working on in 2021 3651 02:43:42,960 --> 02:43:45,120 it did fall off kind of our radar so to 3652 02:43:45,120 --> 02:43:46,880 speak uh some other things that were 3653 02:43:46,880 --> 02:43:48,240 coming up 3654 02:43:48,240 --> 02:43:50,560 you know one of the things that 3655 02:43:50,560 --> 02:43:52,240 you know i just want to impart on you 3656 02:43:52,240 --> 02:43:53,920 it's not to sound 3657 02:43:53,920 --> 02:43:56,160 arrogant or condescending in any way is 3658 02:43:56,160 --> 02:43:59,200 just that these are traffic control 3659 02:43:59,200 --> 02:44:02,160 devices there's an entire manual on 3660 02:44:02,160 --> 02:44:04,160 traffic control devices from your stop 3661 02:44:04,160 --> 02:44:07,040 sign to your mile marker to yield signs 3662 02:44:07,040 --> 02:44:09,359 these are regulated state traffic 3663 02:44:09,359 --> 02:44:11,200 control devices so 3664 02:44:11,200 --> 02:44:13,120 it's sometimes a little hard because 3665 02:44:13,120 --> 02:44:14,720 around the table i feel like they're 3666 02:44:14,720 --> 02:44:16,000 more 3667 02:44:16,000 --> 02:44:17,760 seen as objects 3668 02:44:17,760 --> 02:44:19,680 you know objects to be put where we 3669 02:44:19,680 --> 02:44:21,760 think they would be effective but you 3670 02:44:21,760 --> 02:44:23,439 know it's they're similar to where the 3671 02:44:23,439 --> 02:44:25,040 city engineer is the one who assigns 3672 02:44:25,040 --> 02:44:27,359 speed limits i did not write that that 3673 02:44:27,359 --> 02:44:29,439 was written historically the reason for 3674 02:44:29,439 --> 02:44:31,120 it was that the city engineer sat up 3675 02:44:31,120 --> 02:44:33,439 there at the time of 50 staff members 3676 02:44:33,439 --> 02:44:34,640 and they worked they did all the 3677 02:44:34,640 --> 02:44:36,960 analysis of the city and they assigned 3678 02:44:36,960 --> 02:44:38,240 speeds 3679 02:44:38,240 --> 02:44:40,479 you know we had 45. 3680 02:44:40,479 --> 02:44:43,120 yeah well you know now we have 3681 02:44:43,120 --> 02:44:48,790 less than fours 3682 02:44:48,800 --> 02:44:50,880 so that's where like i i think that if 3683 02:44:50,880 --> 02:44:52,560 we're going to go to 25 it is nice to 3684 02:44:52,560 --> 02:44:54,560 say but like i'd like to talk with the 3685 02:44:54,560 --> 02:44:57,359 cdta they have bus routes that use state 3686 02:44:57,359 --> 02:45:00,319 street those buses ghosts 35 they go 40 3687 02:45:00,319 --> 02:45:02,319 on erie they use the i just like to make 3688 02:45:02,319 --> 02:45:03,760 sure that everybody's aware because we 3689 02:45:03,760 --> 02:45:05,840 have you know we have main lines and 3690 02:45:05,840 --> 02:45:08,240 then we have secondary streets you know 3691 02:45:08,240 --> 02:45:10,160 and i i don't want to like we were 3692 02:45:10,160 --> 02:45:11,520 talking about paint with this broad 3693 02:45:11,520 --> 02:45:13,680 brush out there of you know we wait once 3694 02:45:13,680 --> 02:45:16,080 25. you know because i see the hungers 3695 02:45:16,080 --> 02:45:17,279 are here i'm sure they're here because 3696 02:45:17,279 --> 02:45:19,520 they want the stockade to be 25. they 3697 02:45:19,520 --> 02:45:21,359 probably want the stockade to be 50. the 3698 02:45:21,359 --> 02:45:26,950 whole city oh the whole city 3699 02:45:26,960 --> 02:45:28,479 but you know and statistics can be 3700 02:45:28,479 --> 02:45:30,160 misleading because if you go from 30 to 3701 02:45:30,160 --> 02:45:33,359 25 yes accidents go down where did 25 3702 02:45:33,359 --> 02:45:35,600 come from if you go to 20 it goes down 3703 02:45:35,600 --> 02:45:37,680 even more if you go to 15 i can walk 3704 02:45:37,680 --> 02:45:38,800 away 3705 02:45:38,800 --> 02:45:40,720 so like where did the number 25 get 3706 02:45:40,720 --> 02:45:42,319 really pulled from it 3707 02:45:42,319 --> 02:45:43,520 because it's a number 3708 02:45:43,520 --> 02:45:45,600 so i'd like i would like to look at it 3709 02:45:45,600 --> 02:45:46,720 more and that's where i've kind of going 3710 02:45:46,720 --> 02:45:49,279 with speed humps is that uh ac whipple 3711 02:45:49,279 --> 02:45:50,720 is doing a great job and he actually 3712 02:45:50,720 --> 02:45:52,880 found this speed hump procedure from the 3713 02:45:52,880 --> 02:45:55,439 city of rochester and this is saying 3714 02:45:55,439 --> 02:45:57,359 that you know if you would like to speed 3715 02:45:57,359 --> 02:45:58,800 hump in rochester you have to make a 3716 02:45:58,800 --> 02:46:01,200 letter of request it has to be evaluated 3717 02:46:01,200 --> 02:46:03,439 by engineering classification features 3718 02:46:03,439 --> 02:46:05,279 they do a traffic study 3719 02:46:05,279 --> 02:46:06,960 then they have considerations of you 3720 02:46:06,960 --> 02:46:08,560 know where is it is it by school is it 3721 02:46:08,560 --> 02:46:10,880 right here and then they need a petition 3722 02:46:10,880 --> 02:46:13,520 from the residence of 75 percent because 3723 02:46:13,520 --> 02:46:14,960 one of the things i did not think about 3724 02:46:14,960 --> 02:46:16,800 but mr crucio and i were talking about 3725 02:46:16,800 --> 02:46:18,240 is we have had things like this in the 3726 02:46:18,240 --> 02:46:20,399 past and residents don't like the noise 3727 02:46:20,399 --> 02:46:22,319 they make sometimes when they go over it 3728 02:46:22,319 --> 02:46:24,640 because it's inaudible to do 3729 02:46:24,640 --> 02:46:26,000 and it's fine when you're at work but 3730 02:46:26,000 --> 02:46:27,920 when you're trying to go to sleep some 3731 02:46:27,920 --> 02:46:29,680 people say oh my god this thing out here 3732 02:46:29,680 --> 02:46:31,359 you know and everybody wants it you know 3733 02:46:31,359 --> 02:46:33,600 not in my backyard put it down the way 3734 02:46:33,600 --> 02:46:35,200 you know so 3735 02:46:35,200 --> 02:46:36,640 we kind of came up with all this and we 3736 02:46:36,640 --> 02:46:39,760 talked about it and buying them is easy 3737 02:46:39,760 --> 02:46:42,240 i can spend 20 000 tomorrow with anthony 3738 02:46:42,240 --> 02:46:43,680 we could get you know we can get them 3739 02:46:43,680 --> 02:46:45,279 here and if we need more 3740 02:46:45,279 --> 02:46:47,760 we'll buy more but then the process of 3741 02:46:47,760 --> 02:46:48,800 where 3742 02:46:48,800 --> 02:46:50,880 i don't want to use that like we have to 3743 02:46:50,880 --> 02:46:52,560 find i know that actually you were 3744 02:46:52,560 --> 02:46:54,960 looking into some areas today based off 3745 02:46:54,960 --> 02:46:56,880 of their information 3746 02:46:56,880 --> 02:46:58,720 and i mean you had a couple yeah and i 3747 02:46:58,720 --> 02:46:59,600 don't know 3748 02:46:59,600 --> 02:47:03,269 with it 3749 02:47:03,279 --> 02:47:04,640 and there might not be locations that 3750 02:47:04,640 --> 02:47:05,920 you're thinking of they might just i'm 3751 02:47:05,920 --> 02:47:08,470 not patient 3752 02:47:08,480 --> 02:47:12,230 [Music] 3753 02:47:12,240 --> 02:47:15,040 like i want you to be seen not that 3754 02:47:15,040 --> 02:47:20,230 short 3755 02:47:20,240 --> 02:47:24,550 one of the things with the rochester 3756 02:47:24,560 --> 02:47:27,200 application if you will talks about you 3757 02:47:27,200 --> 02:47:29,120 know where to put them and looking at 3758 02:47:29,120 --> 02:47:32,399 engineering specifics concerning it very 3759 02:47:32,399 --> 02:47:35,439 important piece in there it talks about 3760 02:47:35,439 --> 02:47:36,800 um 3761 02:47:36,800 --> 02:47:39,439 parallel roads and not putting them on 3762 02:47:39,439 --> 02:47:42,240 parallel roads which is something that 3763 02:47:42,240 --> 02:47:44,240 i'm sure we would automatically do 3764 02:47:44,240 --> 02:47:46,479 because of the configuration of the city 3765 02:47:46,479 --> 02:47:48,160 but they don't want you to move the 3766 02:47:48,160 --> 02:47:51,200 traffic from one street to another 3767 02:47:51,200 --> 02:47:53,840 that's what we hear all the time about 3768 02:47:53,840 --> 02:47:56,000 doing things on one street say you want 3769 02:47:56,000 --> 02:47:58,000 to talk about we mentioned console road 3770 02:47:58,000 --> 02:48:00,840 so let's talk about the streets between 3771 02:48:00,840 --> 02:48:05,520 um console and state street right 3772 02:48:05,520 --> 02:48:10,080 you put them on parallel streets and you do this on one street and it pushes 3773 02:48:10,080 --> 02:48:12,399 all the traffic to the other so we want 3774 02:48:12,399 --> 02:48:15,040 to make sure we don't do something to 3775 02:48:15,040 --> 02:48:18,560 um cause more of a problem on adjacent 3776 02:48:18,560 --> 02:48:20,800 street than the street that we 3777 02:48:20,800 --> 02:48:23,279 yeah and another good one here johnny 3778 02:48:23,279 --> 02:48:24,880 touched down though was that the street 3779 02:48:24,880 --> 02:48:26,560 they have under the street might must 3780 02:48:26,560 --> 02:48:31,190 not be a primary 3781 02:48:31,200 --> 02:48:32,960 emergency vehicles are going to utilize 3782 02:48:32,960 --> 02:48:34,720 it right primarily fire trucks but they 3783 02:48:34,720 --> 02:48:36,000 don't want them on that they're off they 3784 02:48:36,000 --> 02:48:37,520 also haven't heard that they want a 3785 02:48:37,520 --> 02:48:39,439 primarily residential street not a 3786 02:48:39,439 --> 02:48:40,960 commercial street so those are all the 3787 02:48:40,960 --> 02:48:41,920 things that 3788 02:48:41,920 --> 02:48:43,840 and that i guess if we have that 3789 02:48:43,840 --> 02:48:45,200 guidance if we follow this which is 3790 02:48:45,200 --> 02:48:46,880 already a really great procedure we 3791 02:48:46,880 --> 02:48:48,640 start looking and that's what you know 3792 02:48:48,640 --> 02:48:50,080 that you started looking at it's kind of 3793 02:48:50,080 --> 02:48:51,920 in the guise of that where they could go 3794 02:48:51,920 --> 02:48:54,080 yeah that would be so far away from uh 3795 02:48:54,080 --> 02:48:56,000 returns can't be over seven percent 3796 02:48:56,000 --> 02:48:57,680 grade they can't be so close to a stop 3797 02:48:57,680 --> 02:48:59,840 sign there's a lot of things that go 3798 02:48:59,840 --> 02:49:01,120 into it 3799 02:49:01,120 --> 02:49:02,800 just looking at it quick without 3800 02:49:02,800 --> 02:49:04,479 all those things in fact a solution to 3801 02:49:04,479 --> 02:49:06,640 traffic was noble by diamonds eastern 3802 02:49:06,640 --> 02:49:08,800 parkway by elmer 3803 02:49:08,800 --> 02:49:12,160 dwayne by martin luther king 3804 02:49:12,160 --> 02:49:14,160 state doesn't work uh mainstream 3805 02:49:14,160 --> 02:49:16,000 education drive there's different 3806 02:49:16,000 --> 02:49:18,000 ones that are we're getting regular 3807 02:49:18,000 --> 02:49:21,279 complaints on so those are right 3808 02:49:21,279 --> 02:49:22,720 in 3809 02:49:22,720 --> 02:49:24,800 you have to look at the need to put 3810 02:49:24,800 --> 02:49:27,520 multiple on a street as opposed to just 3811 02:49:27,520 --> 02:49:29,439 one because 3812 02:49:29,439 --> 02:49:31,040 we believe that you're going to see the 3813 02:49:31,040 --> 02:49:33,040 traffic speed up right after they go 3814 02:49:33,040 --> 02:49:35,680 over that to make up the 3815 02:49:35,680 --> 02:49:38,319 loss of time so yeah you know if we're 3816 02:49:38,319 --> 02:49:39,600 going to do this i think you got to 3817 02:49:39,600 --> 02:49:42,160 consider a couple of them in any area to 3818 02:49:42,160 --> 02:49:44,399 really make an impact okay 3819 02:49:44,399 --> 02:49:46,000 thank you 3820 02:49:46,000 --> 02:49:47,680 so do you recommend 3821 02:49:47,680 --> 02:49:50,720 doing the speed helps or not doing this 3822 02:49:50,720 --> 02:49:52,800 i think it is 3823 02:49:52,800 --> 02:49:55,120 i think it's worthwhile that we can try 3824 02:49:55,120 --> 02:49:57,200 i'm just i guess the thing is is that 3825 02:49:57,200 --> 02:49:59,840 what we're talking about is 3826 02:49:59,840 --> 02:50:01,439 it was a bigger it was a bigger 3827 02:50:01,439 --> 02:50:04,080 conversation internally than just buy 3828 02:50:04,080 --> 02:50:05,760 them and put them down and when the 3829 02:50:05,760 --> 02:50:07,680 conversation got that big i think 3830 02:50:07,680 --> 02:50:09,279 everybody wasn't 3831 02:50:09,279 --> 02:50:10,880 you know right there prepared to make 3832 02:50:10,880 --> 02:50:14,160 all these decisions so it kind of got 3833 02:50:14,160 --> 02:50:16,160 set there you know like that and i i'm 3834 02:50:16,160 --> 02:50:17,680 glad that you you know you're bringing 3835 02:50:17,680 --> 02:50:19,840 it back up it's not that it's just you 3836 02:50:19,840 --> 02:50:21,120 know this is just this is another 3837 02:50:21,120 --> 02:50:23,439 initiative and what i don't want to do 3838 02:50:23,439 --> 02:50:24,640 just putting them down it's going to 3839 02:50:24,640 --> 02:50:26,000 have a season one of the things that i 3840 02:50:26,000 --> 02:50:28,319 was talking about with john and uh we 3841 02:50:28,319 --> 02:50:29,359 remember 3842 02:50:29,359 --> 02:50:31,279 kelly bonnett was uh you know are we 3843 02:50:31,279 --> 02:50:33,760 doing any data collection pre-post and 3844 02:50:33,760 --> 02:50:35,200 then how that's going to work you know 3845 02:50:35,200 --> 02:50:36,399 we're putting up a 3846 02:50:36,399 --> 02:50:38,880 speed camera that has the flashing to 3847 02:50:38,880 --> 02:50:40,720 say okay everybody was going 42 and then 3848 02:50:40,720 --> 02:50:43,279 we put this down and it didn't go down 3849 02:50:43,279 --> 02:50:45,120 but then you know on top of that you 3850 02:50:45,120 --> 02:50:47,200 know when talking with kristen and 3851 02:50:47,200 --> 02:50:48,720 development and some other people from 3852 02:50:48,720 --> 02:50:50,880 the engineering side and it actually was 3853 02:50:50,880 --> 02:50:53,200 in the paper i believe with tom carey is 3854 02:50:53,200 --> 02:50:56,000 that there's a whole other aspect of you 3855 02:50:56,000 --> 02:50:57,840 know complete streets and trying to make 3856 02:50:57,840 --> 02:50:59,760 a street feel narrower and trying to do 3857 02:50:59,760 --> 02:51:02,080 it naturally 3858 02:51:02,080 --> 02:51:04,560 instead of artificial 3859 02:51:04,560 --> 02:51:06,560 and you know that's something that's 3860 02:51:06,560 --> 02:51:08,240 another thing that you know we're really 3861 02:51:08,240 --> 02:51:10,160 not quite there yet one of the things i 3862 02:51:10,160 --> 02:51:12,080 didn't say what we're doing is um on 3863 02:51:12,080 --> 02:51:13,840 console we're going to be putting in i 3864 02:51:13,840 --> 02:51:15,760 call them blaze sticks i don't know what 3865 02:51:15,760 --> 02:51:18,399 the post reflectors we're going to be 3866 02:51:18,399 --> 02:51:20,720 trying those which is you know you're 3867 02:51:20,720 --> 02:51:22,800 used to a very bright stop sign and the 3868 02:51:22,800 --> 02:51:24,560 new thing is you put on a reflector on 3869 02:51:24,560 --> 02:51:25,520 the post 3870 02:51:25,520 --> 02:51:27,760 and when you see that when you drive 3871 02:51:27,760 --> 02:51:29,920 console after those are in they're going 3872 02:51:29,920 --> 02:51:31,760 to get your attention and they are a 3873 02:51:31,760 --> 02:51:33,600 fraction of the cause 3874 02:51:33,600 --> 02:51:35,680 yeah but we were just trying to because 3875 02:51:35,680 --> 02:51:37,279 we talked about it you know those signs 3876 02:51:37,279 --> 02:51:38,960 are expensive how can we do things you 3877 02:51:38,960 --> 02:51:40,560 know i know that we wanted to do trees 3878 02:51:40,560 --> 02:51:42,880 maybe some places uh we have that study 3879 02:51:42,880 --> 02:51:44,479 going on but i mean this can be 3880 02:51:44,479 --> 02:51:46,640 something but i guess my my issue is 3881 02:51:46,640 --> 02:51:48,960 that if we find 3882 02:51:48,960 --> 02:51:51,680 that the speed pump worked 3883 02:51:51,680 --> 02:51:54,319 then is the next step that we're going 3884 02:51:54,319 --> 02:51:55,760 permanent 3885 02:51:55,760 --> 02:51:57,840 you know is is that it or is this a 3886 02:51:57,840 --> 02:51:59,279 temper you know because we don't have 3887 02:51:59,279 --> 02:52:01,120 permanent permanent speed humps in the 3888 02:52:01,120 --> 02:52:02,560 northeast and even 3889 02:52:02,560 --> 02:52:03,920 you don't see a lot of them there are 3890 02:52:03,920 --> 02:52:06,399 locations i know of in the area county 3891 02:52:06,399 --> 02:52:08,880 specifically but you know then you get 3892 02:52:08,880 --> 02:52:12,960 to that next level so what is the objective we're trying to 3893 02:52:12,960 --> 02:52:14,720 achieve and is this the right tool to do 3894 02:52:14,720 --> 02:52:17,200 it and it takes a lot of thought and i 3895 02:52:17,200 --> 02:52:18,479 guess we haven't had a lot of time to 3896 02:52:18,479 --> 02:52:20,160 put all that thought into it so which is 3897 02:52:20,160 --> 02:52:21,200 why it got 3898 02:52:21,200 --> 02:52:23,279 kind of but we have the list we did put 3899 02:52:23,279 --> 02:52:25,120 a lot more effort into it since you 3900 02:52:25,120 --> 02:52:27,359 you've asked about us to pick this up um 3901 02:52:27,359 --> 02:52:29,359 i think that rochester's done a lot of 3902 02:52:29,359 --> 02:52:31,600 great work to kind of just give us a 3903 02:52:31,600 --> 02:52:32,560 template 3904 02:52:32,560 --> 02:52:34,720 um so i think we think we could probably 3905 02:52:34,720 --> 02:52:36,640 sit down and come up with some areas and 3906 02:52:36,640 --> 02:52:39,040 get some things ordered and we can try 3907 02:52:39,040 --> 02:52:40,800 it's just that 3908 02:52:40,800 --> 02:52:41,920 i just want to make sure that we're 3909 02:52:41,920 --> 02:52:43,600 always using these things as tools and 3910 02:52:43,600 --> 02:52:44,800 we know what we're trying to get out of 3911 02:52:44,800 --> 02:52:46,960 the tools so with that the as just the 3912 02:52:46,960 --> 02:52:48,880 rough number from last year the price 3913 02:52:48,880 --> 02:52:51,040 was around five thousand dollars for for 3914 02:52:51,040 --> 02:52:51,920 one 3915 02:52:51,920 --> 02:52:56,399 um from one we get four and then we didn't factor in the 3916 02:52:56,399 --> 02:52:59,600 cost for the signage around it and for 3917 02:52:59,600 --> 02:53:01,439 the bureau to put them install them and 3918 02:53:01,439 --> 02:53:03,600 remove them in storage so and then when 3919 02:53:03,600 --> 02:53:05,200 you go to order them we have to know 3920 02:53:05,200 --> 02:53:06,640 where they're going first because each 3921 02:53:06,640 --> 02:53:08,840 one is printed with different arrows and 3922 02:53:08,840 --> 02:53:11,920 different um emblems so 3923 02:53:11,920 --> 02:53:13,200 first would be to determine where 3924 02:53:13,200 --> 02:53:15,200 they're going and then we order them and 3925 02:53:15,200 --> 02:53:16,640 then we actually have to talk to the 3926 02:53:16,640 --> 02:53:21,910 guru about insulation and storage 3927 02:53:21,920 --> 02:53:23,200 and the other thing you guys briefly 3928 02:53:23,200 --> 02:53:25,040 touched on but it comes up a lot in my 3929 02:53:25,040 --> 02:53:27,279 circles of conversations is they call it 3930 02:53:27,279 --> 02:53:28,720 the three e's 3931 02:53:28,720 --> 02:53:30,880 and it's education enforcement and 3932 02:53:30,880 --> 02:53:32,080 engineering 3933 02:53:32,080 --> 02:53:34,800 and you know education is hard because 3934 02:53:34,800 --> 02:53:36,560 you're putting that on the person 3935 02:53:36,560 --> 02:53:38,080 and enforcement is difficult because 3936 02:53:38,080 --> 02:53:40,080 you're putting it on the police and the 3937 02:53:40,080 --> 02:53:42,080 police are you know already time 3938 02:53:42,080 --> 02:53:44,319 strapped so then naturally everybody 3939 02:53:44,319 --> 02:53:46,160 goes to engineering 3940 02:53:46,160 --> 02:53:48,640 you know and sometimes though you cannot 3941 02:53:48,640 --> 02:53:50,960 engineer things you know there has to be 3942 02:53:50,960 --> 02:53:52,640 you have to use the enforcement you have 3943 02:53:52,640 --> 02:53:55,279 to use the education you cannot engineer 3944 02:53:55,279 --> 02:53:56,720 someone on their phone you cannot 3945 02:53:56,720 --> 02:53:58,880 engineer speeding necessarily all the 3946 02:53:58,880 --> 02:53:59,680 time 3947 02:53:59,680 --> 02:54:01,760 so i think we really if we can go this 3948 02:54:01,760 --> 02:54:03,520 route but i think those other two e's we 3949 02:54:03,520 --> 02:54:07,600 always say we really have to to work 3950 02:54:07,600 --> 02:54:10,000 so can we like come back 3951 02:54:10,000 --> 02:54:11,439 uh in 3952 02:54:11,439 --> 02:54:13,920 the next session or two with a location 3953 02:54:13,920 --> 02:54:16,960 or a plan when we have something or how 3954 02:54:16,960 --> 02:54:19,279 we will we will pick it up i just don't 3955 02:54:19,279 --> 02:54:21,040 know what yeah that's i would like to 3956 02:54:21,040 --> 02:54:23,600 see does anybody have any preferences 3957 02:54:23,600 --> 02:54:24,640 that's true 3958 02:54:24,640 --> 02:54:26,560 so i think like the mayor suggested 3959 02:54:26,560 --> 02:54:29,279 earlier it'll be a big plan with the 3960 02:54:29,279 --> 02:54:32,000 speed limit and the new signs and uh 3961 02:54:32,000 --> 02:54:34,640 maybe a few more um 3962 02:54:34,640 --> 02:54:37,040 lit stop signs and maybe 3963 02:54:37,040 --> 02:54:37,920 you know 3964 02:54:37,920 --> 02:54:43,110 that all entailed in the one yeah 3965 02:54:43,120 --> 02:54:44,960 i would like to know whether by the time 3966 02:54:44,960 --> 02:54:48,080 i'm 70 years old instead of 63 we might 3967 02:54:48,080 --> 02:54:49,920 be able to actually do something in the 3968 02:54:49,920 --> 02:54:52,240 city of schenectady around reducing the 3969 02:54:52,240 --> 02:54:54,399 speed infractions um because i think 3970 02:54:54,399 --> 02:54:57,120 that's the issue that i'm feeling i mean 3971 02:54:57,120 --> 02:54:58,720 this has been how many years we've been 3972 02:54:58,720 --> 02:55:01,040 talking about the speed bumps 3973 02:55:01,040 --> 02:55:03,279 and you know 3974 02:55:03,279 --> 02:55:06,800 i don't know it's very frustrating um 3975 02:55:06,800 --> 02:55:08,479 because i think i hear what you're 3976 02:55:08,479 --> 02:55:09,439 saying 3977 02:55:09,439 --> 02:55:12,240 but um you know i think we have to start 3978 02:55:12,240 --> 02:55:15,200 to take some action somehow 3979 02:55:15,200 --> 02:55:17,040 chris where is the 3980 02:55:17,040 --> 02:55:18,560 process for 3981 02:55:18,560 --> 02:55:20,080 uh redoing 3982 02:55:20,080 --> 02:55:23,600 uh brandywine avenue from state to 890 3983 02:55:23,600 --> 02:55:25,760 that we've rejected that yep it's out to 3984 02:55:25,760 --> 02:55:29,040 bid right now so back out to bit that 3985 02:55:29,040 --> 02:55:32,080 still is the highest incident area for 3986 02:55:32,080 --> 02:55:35,279 auto pedestrian events uh 3987 02:55:35,279 --> 02:55:37,600 just outright traffic accidents 3988 02:55:37,600 --> 02:55:40,479 so it's unfortunate the numbers came in 3989 02:55:40,479 --> 02:55:41,760 high 3990 02:55:41,760 --> 02:55:42,960 we're going to have to do something 3991 02:55:42,960 --> 02:55:45,520 there if 3992 02:55:45,520 --> 02:55:47,600 the president if the bids come in high 3993 02:55:47,600 --> 02:55:48,880 again 3994 02:55:48,880 --> 02:55:51,120 who 3995 02:55:51,120 --> 02:55:52,720 they come back to the council look to 3996 02:55:52,720 --> 02:55:55,040 put some more money on the table so that 3997 02:55:55,040 --> 02:55:59,760 we could get that uh done the series of 3998 02:55:59,760 --> 02:56:01,760 intersections there because that is 3999 02:56:01,760 --> 02:56:05,359 going to pay off uh just our overall 4000 02:56:05,359 --> 02:56:07,279 number of events 4001 02:56:07,279 --> 02:56:09,359 i agree with that that is our 4002 02:56:09,359 --> 02:56:11,040 two busiest blocks 4003 02:56:11,040 --> 02:56:15,600 including downtown brandywine those two blocks are significant 4004 02:56:15,600 --> 02:56:17,840 um 4005 02:56:17,840 --> 02:56:19,680 oh another thing i was going to say even 4006 02:56:19,680 --> 02:56:21,439 john we talked about it how many years 4007 02:56:21,439 --> 02:56:23,359 ago was it five years those little 4008 02:56:23,359 --> 02:56:25,760 yellow signs those notification signs 4009 02:56:25,760 --> 02:56:27,120 you know those are something that came 4010 02:56:27,120 --> 02:56:29,359 out that state yes 4011 02:56:29,359 --> 02:56:30,640 you know i would love to see those 4012 02:56:30,640 --> 02:56:32,399 affected if you put them on randolph and 4013 02:56:32,399 --> 02:56:34,560 we put them on rose and these little you 4014 02:56:34,560 --> 02:56:36,640 know like they say cross traffic doesn't 4015 02:56:36,640 --> 02:56:38,960 stop this you know and those those are 4016 02:56:38,960 --> 02:56:41,040 the things that you know i think if we 4017 02:56:41,040 --> 02:56:42,640 always tally i mean there has been 4018 02:56:42,640 --> 02:56:44,800 improvements made but these are the 4019 02:56:44,800 --> 02:56:46,399 these are necks i just i'd like to know 4020 02:56:46,399 --> 02:56:47,680 before we put them down i guess we'll 4021 02:56:47,680 --> 02:56:49,600 have to work internally 4022 02:56:49,600 --> 02:56:51,760 then what is it a permanent are we going 4023 02:56:51,760 --> 02:56:53,520 to start seeing these and then we pick 4024 02:56:53,520 --> 02:56:55,520 them up in the wintertime or do we make 4025 02:56:55,520 --> 02:56:57,439 them permanent i just and i always look 4026 02:56:57,439 --> 02:56:58,800 around because i've driven a lot of 4027 02:56:58,800 --> 02:57:01,760 municipalities you just don't see 4028 02:57:01,760 --> 02:57:05,120 speed bumps in a lot of municipalities 4029 02:57:05,120 --> 02:57:08,080 in that kind of way to address the issue 4030 02:57:08,080 --> 02:57:09,200 so 4031 02:57:09,200 --> 02:57:10,880 but it's not to say that we can't set a 4032 02:57:10,880 --> 02:57:12,640 trend 4033 02:57:12,640 --> 02:57:14,560 so can i be

primary student no no no no all right 4037 02:57:19,439 --> 02:57:24,150 just want to be clear 4038 02:57:24,160 --> 02:57:25,040 that 4039 02:57:25,040 --> 02:57:27,520 two blocks or a little over two blocks 4040 02:57:27,520 --> 02:57:30,080 and some of the adjacent streets 4041 02:57:30,080 --> 02:57:32,479 uh and just unfortunately the bid 4042 02:57:32,479 --> 02:57:35,040 came back in high so chris has gone back 4043 02:57:35,040 --> 02:57:39,279 out but that'll be a rebuilding of those 4044 02:57:39,279 --> 02:57:41,600 in two blocks 4045 02:57:41,600 --> 02:57:43,279 with again some of the traffic control 4046 02:57:43,279 --> 02:57:45,990 devices 4047 02:57:46,000 --> 02:57:47,200 well um 4048 02:57:47,200 --> 02:57:49,279 to uh to miss patrick's point i'd like 4049 02:57:49,279 --> 02:57:50,560 to see us do something as well we 4050 02:57:50,560 --> 02:57:51,760 haven't been kicking this around for a 4051 02:57:51,760 --> 02:57:54,800 very long time so i would like to 4052 02:57:54,800 --> 02:57:56,319 see something in a couple of see if we 4053 02:57:56,319 --> 02:57:57,520 could just 4054 02:57:57,520 --> 02:57:59,760 get this ball rolling sure 4055 02:57:59,760 --> 02:58:01,920 not a problem but not we don't want the 4056 02:58:01,920 --> 02:58:06,070 ball rolling too fast 4057 02:58:06,080 --> 02:58:08,399 i mean i think we also need to recommend 4058 02:58:08,399 --> 02:58:09,840 does we need a recommendation about 4059 02:58:09,840 --> 02:58:11,520 whether in fact that is the smartest 4060 02:58:11,520 --> 02:58:13,680 thing the speedoms might not be the 4061 02:58:13,680 --> 02:58:16,560 solution so so um 4062 02:58:16,560 --> 02:58:19,520 you know i guess when you come back 4063 02:58:19,520 --> 02:58:21,520 with that as well yeah you know we're 4064 02:58:21,520 --> 02:58:22,960 talking about configurations and making 4065 02:58:22,960 --> 02:58:24,160 sure they don't block drainage you're 4066 02:58:24,160 --> 02:58:25,520 not leaving gaps you know how if you go 4067 02:58:25,520 --> 02:58:27,040 to a parking lot and you see that gap in 4068 02:58:27,040 --> 02:58:30,240 the middle really shoots the gaps 4069 02:58:30,240 --> 02:58:31,600 you know we were talking about that you 4070 02:58:31,600 --> 02:58:33,200 know because the thought was okay can we 4071 02:58:33,200 --> 02:58:35,200 leave a gap for a fire truck it's like 4072 02:58:35,200 --> 02:58:37,920 leave the gap for a fire truck yeah 4073 02:58:37,920 --> 02:58:40,160 so there is some discussion and i guess 4074 02:58:40,160 --> 02:58:41,680 that we have a good template here city 4075 02:58:41,680 --> 02:58:44,000 of rochester clearly is putting them in 4076 02:58:44,000 --> 02:58:45,279 maybe i have to do a tour out to 4077 02:58:45,279 --> 02:58:47,200 rochester and meet with them and see 4078 02:58:47,200 --> 02:58:50,230 maybe 4079 02:58:50,240 --> 02:58:52,160 but yeah i can give you something what i 4080 02:58:52,160 --> 02:58:54,080 can do is do is take a map highlight 4081 02:58:54,080 --> 02:58:55,439 arrow the streets that kind of what 4082 02:58:55,439 --> 02:58:56,960 we're saying don't meet the criteria the 4083 02:58:56,960 --> 02:58:58,880 right way and then what areas would meet 4084 02:58:58,880 --> 02:59:00,399 the criteria based off of the 4085 02:59:00,399 --> 02:59:01,920 information that you're still collecting 4086 02:59:01,920 --> 02:59:03,520 and we'll show some other areas and in 4087 02:59:03,520 --> 02:59:05,359 the meantime uh 4088 02:59:05,359 --> 02:59:08,720 aca whipple and and anthony we can order 4089 02:59:08,720 --> 02:59:10,319 you know i mean they're set with we can 4090 02:59:10,319 --> 02:59:12,560 get them there this section and at least 4091 02:59:12,560 --> 02:59:13,439 get them here because i don't know what 4092 02:59:13,439 --> 02:59:14,960 the lead time on something that would be 4093 02:59:14,960 --> 02:59:16,479 but make sure we get it because 4094 02:59:16,479 --> 02:59:18,160 similarly to the signs even though we're 4095 02:59:18,160 --> 02:59:20,399 going to say if the governor makes it 25 4096 02:59:20,399 --> 02:59:22,319 tomorrow it's going to take john four 4097 02:59:22,319 --> 02:59:24,080 months to get the signs here and we 4098 02:59:24,080 --> 02:59:27,120 can't do both i think that would 4099 02:59:27,120 --> 02:59:29,510

03:00:41,520 of this year and then the scope of work 4128 03:00:41,520 --> 03:00:44,640 for the remaining unexpected balance 4129 03:00:44,640 --> 03:00:47,279 um there was some questions for certain 4130 03:00:47,279 --> 03:00:49,600 materials that were provided 4131 03:00:49,600 --> 03:00:51,439 to the council and i believe the council 4132 03:00:51,439 --> 03:00:53,279 has recommendations as well 4133 03:00:53,279 --> 03:00:55,439 uh based on this so that's why we're 4134 03:00:55,439 --> 03:00:56,720 here 4135 03:00:56,720 --> 03:00:58,319 we do have uh 4136 03:00:58,319 --> 03:00:59,920

discussion around that and 4143 03:01:10,640 --> 03:01:12,880 frankly not the support for it 4144 03:01:12,880 --> 03:01:16,960 there was the impression that the um 4145 03:01:16,960 --> 03:01:18,000 that 4146 03:01:18,000 --> 03:01:20,000 the duties that were written into that 4147 03:01:20,000 --> 03:01:21,359 particular one were things that were 4148 03:01:21,359 --> 03:01:23,040 being covered by cap 4149 03:01:23,040 --> 03:01:26,560 and so um the budget has been meant to 4150 03:01:26,560 --> 03:01:27,600 include 4151 03:01:27,600 --> 03:01:28,479 um 4152 03:01:28,479 --> 03:01:30,800 just all services under tap as they have 4153 03:01:30,800 --> 03:01:31,920 put forward 4154 03:01:31,920 --> 03:01:32,960 and 4155 03:01:32,960 --> 03:01:35,200 not nothing um elsa well there has been 4156 03:01:35,200 --> 03:01:38,240 a change in terms of um 4157 03:01:38,240 --> 03:01:40,800 there was a rainy like 20 4158 03:01:40,800 --> 03:01:42,880 2000 something um 4159 03:01:42,880 --> 03:01:45,120 which is put into the summer landscaping 4160 03:01:45,120 --> 03:01:47,920 so this is all the ring funds that out 4161 03:01:47,920 --> 03:01:50,319 of the 150 i believe was the starting 4162 03:01:50,319 --> 03:01:52,160 the remaining funds that mayor khan 4163 03:01:52,160 --> 03:01:54,319 texas has right this is the remaining 4164 03:01:54,319 --> 03:01:59,269 yes that's what's

year we have to go inspect make 4242 03:05:07,600 --> 03:05:10,240 sure on a dry day that there's no runoff 4243 03:05:10,240 --> 03:05:12,479 or ethanol everyone's coming out of the 4244 03:05:12,479 --> 03:05:13,680 pipes 4245 03:05:13,680 --> 03:05:16,800 the big thing of note this year is 4246 03:05:16,800 --> 03:05:18,960 what we did was uh i wanted to find a 4247 03:05:18,960 --> 03:05:21,520 page for you i apologize but what we had 4248 03:05:21,520 --> 03:05:23,359 was we had a thorough review done of all 4249 03:05:23,359 --> 03:05:25,840 of our outfalls and after that review 4250 03:05:25,840 --> 03:05:28,319 what we found was that we were double 4251 03:05:28,319 --> 03:05:31,200 counting a lot of outfalls in a way that 4252 03:05:31,200 --> 03:05:33,279 we were able to reduce 4253 03:05:33,279 --> 03:05:37,120 and so that was a a nice benefit to what 4254 03:05:37,120 --> 03:05:39,359 we were able to do i'm just looking for 4255 03:05:39,359 --> 03:05:40,720 a page that i don't have right in front 4256 03:05:40,720 --> 03:05:42,160 of me so what it is is that if you're 4257 03:05:42,160 --> 03:05:44,000 familiar with so uh 4258 03:05:44,000 --> 03:05:46,399 college creed oh here it is uh out falls 4259 03:05:46,399 --> 03:05:50,080 map 29 so three on the third page 4260 03:05:50,080 --> 03:05:50,800 so 4261 03:05:50,800 --> 03:05:52,960 what we were doing is we were counting 4262 03:05:52,960 --> 03:05:56,640 every overt originally in college creek 4263 03:05:56,640 --> 03:05:59,760 and essentially it's actually one so you 4264 03:05:59,760 --> 03:06:01,600 would come out you have one out under 4265 03:06:01,600 --> 03:06:03,680 the uh i believe it's west alley where 4266 03:06:03,680 --> 03:06:06,000 it enters the stock uh to the gt plot 4267 03:06:06,000 --> 03:06:09,040 that is an outflow as it goes under avon 4268 03:06:09,040 --> 03:06:10,720 as it goes under the road those are not 4269 03:06:10,720 --> 03:06:12,399 alcohols those are cold 4270 03:06:12,399 --> 03:06:14,720 so that originally was mapped not by 4271 03:06:14,720 --> 03:06:17,279 myself but by predecessor as an outfall 4272 03:06:17,279 --> 03:06:18,960 so we eliminated those so we were able 4273 03:06:18,960 --> 03:06:23,040 to go from 54 to 29 and the 29 allows us 4274 03:06:23,040 --> 03:06:25,040 now to just be more efficient most of 4275 03:06:25,040 --> 03:06:26,880 these are along the river we have you 4276 03:06:26,880 --> 03:06:28,399 know several along the river the biggest 4277 03:06:28,399 --> 03:06:31,120 being college creek um and we go down 4278 03:06:31,120 --> 03:06:33,920 and we'll be able to inspect those um so 4279 03:06:33,920 --> 03:06:36,560 you use the facebook page uh just right 4280 03:06:36,560 --> 03:06:39,680 there for 29. so you see this year we 4281 03:06:39,680 --> 03:06:41,760 number of approximate about falls map we 4282 03:06:41,760 --> 03:06:42,880 mapped all of them this year because 4283 03:06:42,880 --> 03:06:44,960 this was our first year doing it 4284 03:06:44,960 --> 03:06:45,760 um 4285 03:06:45,760 --> 03:06:47,520 so 4286 03:06:47,520 --> 03:06:51,990 yeah right one more 4287 03:06:52,000 --> 03:06:54,000 yeah yeah exactly oh right there i'm 4288 03:06:54,000 --> 03:06:55,680 sorry it's on the back the 29 right 4289 03:06:55,680 --> 03:07:00,800 there so it's on the back page so that is one thing one area i will uh 4290 03:07:00,800 --> 03:07:03,040 admit that we need to improve and as 4291 03:07:03,040 --> 03:07:05,600 with full disclosure is ct mail is going 4292 03:07:05,600 --> 03:07:07,920 to do some training for us 4293 03:07:07,920 --> 03:07:10,000 part of the requirement is that our ogs 4294 03:07:10,000 --> 03:07:12,399 staff receive some training about how to 4295 03:07:12,399 --> 03:07:14,800 spot illicit discharges just to be aware 4296 03:07:14,800 --> 03:07:17,200 of things like that um i mean we were 4297 03:07:17,200 --> 03:07:19,279 doing them and then up to cover we kind 4298 03:07:19,279 --> 03:07:20,720 of stopped any kind of in-person 4299 03:07:20,720 --> 03:07:22,720 training virtual training for our guys 4300 03:07:22,720 --> 03:07:24,560 is very difficult because you know it's 4301 03:07:24,560 --> 03:07:27,279 a it's more of a garage in the classroom 4302 03:07:27,279 --> 03:07:29,040 but now that everything has calmed down 4303 03:07:29,040 --> 03:07:30,800 we are looking to have ct mail go out 4304 03:07:30,800 --> 03:07:33,600 and do some focus training for our water 4305 03:07:33,600 --> 03:07:35,439 and sewer departments even possibly our 4306 03:07:35,439 --> 03:07:36,800 garbage departments because as we were 4307 03:07:36,800 --> 03:07:38,560 talking about previously uh you know 4308 03:07:38,560 --> 03:07:40,640 they're out they're out and about and to 4309 03:07:40,640 --> 03:07:42,960 be able to spot things 4310 03:07:42,960 --> 03:07:44,560 all right um so that's what we really 4311 03:07:44,560 --> 03:07:46,000 want to do is make sure people are able 4312 03:07:46,000 --> 03:07:48,240 to to spot things because they are the 4313 03:07:48,240 --> 03:07:50,479 kind of the eyes on the street i am more 4314 03:07:50,479 --> 03:07:52,720 or less always in city hall so what 4315 03:07:52,720 --> 03:07:54,960 we're going to do is um you know if you 4316 03:07:54,960 --> 03:07:58,479 have any questions you can ask it's a pretty generic 4317 03:07:58,479 --> 03:08:01,359 boring report but we do take it uh we 4318 03:08:01,359 --> 03:08:02,640 put it out and the public can see it 4319 03:08:02,640 --> 03:08:04,960 today then we put it on the website and 4320 03:08:04,960 --> 03:08:07,439 then it's always on the website 365 days 4321 03:08:07,439 --> 03:08:09,520 because that's a requirement as well and 4322 03:08:09,520 --> 03:08:10,960 we're going to try to you know like i 4323 03:08:10,960 --> 03:08:13,040 said up our training up some of it we 4324 03:08:13,040 -->

03:08:24,080 --> 03:08:25,439 those are the couple of things that we 4331 03:08:25,439 --> 03:08:27,200 want to do mostly involves 4332 03:08:27,200 --> 03:08:29,439 uh training in public and for the last 4333 03:08:29,439 --> 03:08:30,960 couple of years training in public kind 4334 03:08:30,960 --> 03:08:33,040 of work low but we're going to bring it 4335 03:08:33,040 --> 03:08:34,960 back up

architects to 4374 03:10:18,160 --> 03:10:19,600 uh make improvements to the fire 4375 03:10:19,600 --> 03:10:21,439 training facility that's located at the 4376 03:10:21,439 --> 03:10:23,920 corner of golf in oregon 4377 03:10:23,920 --> 03:10:25,840 that is the tower that has been there 4378 03:10:25,840 --> 03:10:28,000 the tower has been derelict for quite 4379 03:10:28,000 --> 03:10:30,000 some time due to 4380 03:10:30,000 --> 03:10:30,800 some 4381 03:10:30,800 --> 03:10:32,560 miss i would say miss maintenance on it 4382 03:10:32,560 --> 03:10:34,640 windows open had a lot of issues

uh similarly uh situation 4386 03:10:41,439 --> 03:10:42,720 with the smoke house because that 4387 03:10:42,720 --> 03:10:44,720 training actually kind of changed so 4388 03:10:44,720 --> 03:10:46,239 through our conversations with the fire 4389 03:10:46,239 --> 03:10:48,960 department and h2m we decided to move in 4390 03:10:48,960 --> 03:10:51,279 a different path that building was small 4391 03:10:51,279 --> 03:10:53,200 it was solid but it just for their 4392 03:10:53,200 --> 03:10:55,680 training purposes it did not fit so that 4393 03:10:55,680 --> 03:10:57,439 building was removed in-house by city 4394 03:10:57,439 --> 03:10:58,479 personnel 4395 03:10:58,479 --> 03:11:00,479 uh and we're looking to replace that 4396 03:11:00,479 --> 03:11:02,560 building uh the first one we have 4397 03:11:02,560 --> 03:11:04,800 however is mid-state they are going to 4398 03:11:04,800 --> 03:11:07,120 be renovating the existing tower 4399 03:11:07,120 --> 03:11:09,200 so right now the tower is completely 4400 03:11:09,200 --> 03:11:11,920 clean it has been abated it has no more 4401 03:11:11,920 --> 03:11:13,680 garment it is sealed 4402 03:11:13,680 --> 03:11:15,600 and what mid-state is going to do is go 4403 03:11:15,600 --> 03:11:16,239 in 4404 03:11:16,239 --> 03:11:18,160 continue refurbishment 4405 03:11:18,160 --> 03:11:20,000 replace all the boards with actual 4406 03:11:20,000 --> 03:11:22,080 windows the windows will be different 4407 03:11:22,080 --> 03:11:23,520 based off of what was already been 4408 03:11:23,520 --> 03:11:27,120 discussed in the police sorry fires 4409 03:11:27,120 --> 03:11:28,800 procedures so some windows are double 4410 03:11:28,800 --> 03:11:30,399 honks some windows from all the way up 4411 03:11:30,399 --> 03:11:31,600 depending on where they are on the 4412 03:11:31,600 --> 03:11:32,720 building and how they're going to do for 4413 03:11:32,720 --> 03:11:35,120 their training so the first is to 4414 03:11:35,120 --> 03:11:37,760 renovate the existing training topic and 4415 03:11:37,760 --> 03:11:40,319 that is the mid-state industry we have 4416 03:11:40,319 --> 03:11:41,760 worked with mistake in the past we 4417 03:11:41,760 --> 03:11:43,680 worked with them quite a bit 4418 03:11:43,680 --> 03:11:45,520 reputable company that we've never had 4419 03:11:45,520 --> 03:11:48,389 issues with 4420 03:11:48,399 --> 03:11:50,960 any questions i'm sorry 4421 03:11:50,960 --> 03:11:52,479 okay 4422 03:11:52,479 --> 03:11:56,229 a second also in favor 4423 03:11:56,239 --> 03:11:58,560 okay the second is for the new training 4424 03:11:58,560 --> 03:12:01,680 structure which is essentially a whole 4425 03:12:01,680 --> 03:12:03,359 barn norton style building the 4426 03:12:03,359 --> 03:12:04,560 building's large enough where they can 4427 03:12:04,560 --> 03:12:07,279 get some apparatus in it and will be a 4428 03:12:07,279 --> 03:12:09,600 larger dry space where they can put an 4429 03:12:09,600 --> 03:12:11,520 apparatus in or if not 4430 03:12:11,520 --> 03:12:12,560 do 4431 03:12:12,560 --> 03:12:13,920 i don't remember the name of it i think 4432 03:12:13,920 --> 03:12:15,600 it's confidence training where they 4433 03:12:15,600 --> 03:12:17,120 actually set up obstacle courses and 4434 03:12:17,120 --> 03:12:18,960 they put it in the dark and they have to 4435 03:12:18,960 --> 03:12:21,040 kind of navigate so as a it's a bigger 4436 03:12:21,040 --> 03:12:22,479 building they realize they didn't need 4437 03:12:22,479 --> 03:12:24,080 to you know break into the roof so much 4438 03:12:24,080 --> 03:12:25,600 and do what they did in the older style 4439 03:12:25,600 --> 03:12:27,520 and then they wanted the extra space so 4440 03:12:27,520 --> 03:12:29,520 this is a it's a simple structure 4441 03:12:29,520 --> 03:12:30,880 similar to what we did at the golf 4442 03:12:30,880 --> 03:12:32,239 course it's going to be used for 4443 03:12:32,239 --> 03:12:34,000 training purposes the reason we did them 4444 03:12:34,000 --> 03:12:36,000 separate is just because we wanted to 4445 03:12:36,000 --> 03:12:37,760 make sure that a company that did the 4446 03:12:37,760 --> 03:12:39,760 buildings might not do renovations and 4447 03:12:39,760 --> 03:12:41,760 that is what we got so we have a 4448 03:12:41,760 --> 03:12:43,200 renovation company in the building 4449 03:12:43,200 --> 03:12:45,520 company so it did work and the low bid 4450 03:12:45,520 --> 03:12:47,279 was the same company that is doing the 4451 03:12:47,279 --> 03:12:50,399 golf course which is not surprising in 4452 03:12:50,399 --> 03:12:52,080 the golf course we have had a very 4453 03:12:52,080 --> 03:12:54,560 successful time with him 4454 03:12:54,560 --> 03:12:56,479 so we have no reason to 4455 03:12:56,479 --> 03:12:58,160 from my perspective not go forward with 4456 03:12:58,160 --> 03:13:01,520 the next building any questions 4457 03:13:01,520 --> 03:13:03,359 which question i'll move it 4458 03:13:03,359 --> 03:13:06,710 second also 4459 03:13:06,720 --> 03:13:08,720 i think that this seems wrong okay thank 4460 03:13:08,720

information from the council it's my 4508 03:14:47,680 --> 03:14:49,760 intent not to open the quack and bush 4509 03:14:49,760 --> 03:14:51,760 pool 4510 03:14:51,760 --> 03:14:53,760 review 4511 03:14:53,760 --> 03:14:55,600 by the council mr williams we've gone 4512 03:14:55,600 --> 03:14:57,920 through done some of the evaluation 4513 03:14:57,920 --> 03:14:59,200 quack and bush 4514 03:14:59,200 --> 03:15:04,389 excuse me after five missions 4515 03:15:04,399 --> 03:15:06,000 which one are you not going to killers 4516 03:15:06,000 --> 03:15:07,600 okay 4517 03:15:07,600 --> 03:15:08,399 i 4518 03:15:08,399 --> 03:15:10,319 apologize for the statement 4519 03:15:10,319 --> 03:15:11,120 uh 4520 03:15:11,120 --> 03:15:13,279 been losing a significant amount of 4521 03:15:13,279 --> 03:15:15,520 water every day 4522 03:15:15,520 --> 03:15:18,720 uh we have not been able to identify 4523 03:15:18,720 --> 03:15:21,600 that leak or where the water is going 4524 03:15:21,600 --> 03:15:24,000 but the potential is there that some of 4525 03:15:24,000 --> 03:15:26,080 the subsurface of the pool because it's 4526 03:15:26,080 --> 03:15:27,920 the lower drains 4527 03:15:27,920 --> 03:15:29,680 they've 4528 03:15:29,680 --> 03:15:31,279 filled the pool at the lower levels the 4529 03:15:31,279 --> 03:15:33,680 water goes out so it's the lower drains 4530 03:15:33,680 --> 03:15:38,150 that are losing it 4531 03:15:38,160 --> 03:15:40,080 it's going somewhere and worried about 4532 03:15:40,080 --> 03:15:42,319 there may be some compromise of the 4533 03:15:42,319 --> 03:15:44,399 surface or the support structure for the 4534 03:15:44,399 --> 03:15:45,200 pool 4535 03:15:45,200 --> 03:15:47,600 so if we total pull up 4536 03:15:47,600 --> 03:15:50,720 there is the potential of a failure 4537 03:15:50,720 --> 03:15:52,239 with the pool 4538 03:15:52,239 --> 03:15:53,840 and 4539 03:15:53,840 --> 03:15:55,920 just at this point not ready to run that 4540 03:15:55,920 --> 03:15:58,160 risk until we can do a 4541 03:15:58,160 --> 03:16:03,190 more in-depth evaluation with it 4542 03:16:03,200 --> 03:16:05,200 is the front street pool actually 4543 03:16:05,200 --> 03:16:07,040 usable 4544 03:16:07,040 --> 03:16:08,479 i don't know if you could go swimming 4545 03:16:08,479 --> 03:16:11,110 tonight 4546 03:16:11,120 --> 03:16:12,880 okay for some reason i thought it was 4547 03:16:12,880 --> 03:16:25,910 like in total disrepair 4548 03:16:25,920 --> 03:16:27,040 it's a good thing 4549 03:16:27,040 --> 03:16:36,469 so um 4550 03:16:36,479 --> 03:16:38,560 discussion hosting quarterly city 4551 03:16:38,560 --> 03:16:40,479 council meetings outside to help follow 4552 03:16:40,479 --> 03:16:41,920 him 4553 03:16:41,920 --> 03:16:44,239 so not to believe this topic um i think 4554 03:16:44,239 --> 03:16:46,640 the last meeting we're just going to 4555 03:16:46,640 --> 03:16:48,160 get more information about where and 4556 03:16:48,160 --> 03:16:49,359 what topic 4557 03:16:49,359 --> 03:16:50,479 um 4558 03:16:50,479 --> 03:16:51,760 i think the 4559 03:16:51,760 --> 03:16:53,760 apparent one would be addressing the 4560 03:16:53,760 --> 03:16:55,439 speed limit signs and then hearing it 4561 03:16:55,439 --> 03:17:01,120 from both ac whipple and also from mr uh 4562 03:17:01,120 --> 03:17:02,399 i'm talking about the three e's 4563 03:17:02,399 --> 03:17:04,640 education enforcement and engineering i 4564 03:17:04,640 --> 03:17:06,239 think it's important for us to get 4565 03:17:06,239 --> 03:17:08,479 behind a education campaign from the 4566 03:17:08,479 --> 03:17:10,880 city to inform people and i think using 4567 03:17:10,880 --> 03:17:12,560 an opportunity to meet outside of the 4568 03:17:12,560 --> 03:17:15,439 council will not only be able to have us 4569 03:17:15,439 --> 03:17:17,600 put this in a 4570 03:17:17,600 --> 03:17:24,389 more uh transverse 4571 03:17:24,399 --> 03:17:26,560 venue i think pausing really quick 4572 03:17:26,560 --> 03:17:27,760 having the opportunity to go to the 4573 03:17:27,760 --> 03:17:29,840 campus the office of cannabis meeting 4574 03:17:29,840 --> 03:17:31,600 and seeing that that room was packed 4575 03:17:31,600 --> 03:17:34,399 full on that topic was uh exciting and 4576 03:17:34,399 --> 03:17:35,760 trying to figure out ways to kind of 4577 03:17:35,760 --> 03:17:37,359 meet people where they are i think 4578 03:17:37,359 --> 03:17:40,479 taking this topic into the community and 4579 03:17:40,479 --> 03:17:41,920 allowing us to put in place the 4580 03:17:41,920 --> 03:17:43,840 resources such as the police and also 4581 03:17:43,840 --> 03:17:45,439 engineering and then providing them the 4582 03:17:45,439 --> 03:17:48,399 resources to potentially have a public 4583 03:17:48,399 --> 03:17:49,439 hearing 4584 03:17:49,439 --> 03:17:51,680 on the road i think is important or it 4585 03:17:51,680 --> 03:17:54,319 could be an option 4586 03:17:54,319 --> 03:17:56,399 so i would not do the speeding topic i 4587 03:17:56,399 --> 03:17:57,920 didn't get a chance to talk with you 4588 03:17:57,920 --> 03:18:00,080 about this earlier but um you know we 4589 03:18:00,080 --> 03:18:01,760 don't need to do a public hearing about 4590 03:18:01,760 --> 03:18:03,279 speeding topics 4591 03:18:03,279 --> 03:18:04,880 i think we've definitely gotten enough 4592 03:18:04,880 --> 03:18:06,239 input from our residents about the 4593 03:18:06,239 --> 03:18:08,399 speeding topic but i think if we were 4594 03:18:08,399 --> 03:18:09,840 going to have a town hall 4595 03:18:09,840 --> 03:18:11,279 outside of here 4596 03:18:11,279 --> 03:18:13,040 which is i think what we talked about at 4597 03:18:13,040 --> 03:18:14,640 last 4598 03:18:14,640 --> 03:18:17,120 whenever it was that we did say yes 4599 03:18:17,120 --> 03:18:20,479 let's let's do try to do some town halls 4600 03:18:20,479 --> 03:18:22,560 i think a larger issue 4601 03:18:22,560 --> 03:18:24,560 might be around noise 4602 03:18:24,560 --> 03:18:27,279 um and behavioral change around noise 4603 03:18:27,279 --> 03:18:29,600 and whether we include fireworks in that 4604 03:18:29,600 --> 03:18:32,160 um that may be soliciting public input 4605 03:18:32,160 --> 03:18:34,239 on how we might be able to make those 4606 03:18:34,239 --> 03:18:36,160 kinds of behavioral changes was just 4607 03:18:36,160 --> 03:18:38,399 something i was thinking about after i 4608 03:18:38,399 --> 03:18:40,800 um you know received your message but 4609 03:18:40,800 --> 03:18:42,640 because that's also the other quality of 4610 03:18:42,640 --> 03:18:44,239 life issue that i think that we hear so 4611 03:18:44,239 --> 03:18:45,680 much about but 4612 03:18:45,680 --> 03:18:47,120 um i don't know if anybody else had a 4613 03:18:47,120 --> 03:18:48,800 topic but i don't i don't really think 4614 03:18:48,800 --> 03:18:50,399 that we need to have a whole town hall 4615 03:18:50,399 --> 03:18:52,399 on speeding 4616 03:18:52,399 --> 03:18:55,349 issues 4617 03:18:55,359 --> 03:18:57,040 um so in terms of that 4618 03:18:57,040 --> 03:18:58,239 i did actually have something it's 4619 03:18:58,239 --> 03:18:59,359 something 4620 03:18:59,359 --> 03:19:01,760 in its public banking i think that's a 4621 03:19:01,760 --> 03:19:07,910 topping that topic that 4622 03:19:07,920 --> 03:19:09,520 hear about but i think it may be a topic 4623 03:19:09,520 --> 03:19:11,439 worth talking to people about in terms 4624 03:19:11,439 --> 03:19:13,359 of public banking and how the positive 4625 03:19:13,359 --> 03:19:14,960 impact it could have on the community so 4626 03:19:14,960 --> 03:19:16,960 that it's a topic that i thought we 4627 03:19:16,960 --> 03:19:19,760 could um to have a meeting 4628 03:19:19,760 --> 03:19:22,640 um if i could just address the 4629 03:19:22,640 --> 03:19:27,439 i'm kind of concerned about you know the noise part of it because for me um 4630 03:19:27,439 --> 03:19:29,680 as we think it through like if we bring 4631 03:19:29,680 --> 03:19:31,520 this out so we should also come with 4632 03:19:31,520 --> 03:19:32,800 some solutions 4633 03:19:32,800 --> 03:19:34,239 and so 4634 03:19:34,239 --> 03:19:36,560 what you know because we've been i and i 4635 03:19:36,560 --> 03:19:38,880 really wish we had a solution because 4636 03:19:38,880 --> 03:19:40,399 just like everyone else here i hear 4637 03:19:40,399 --> 03:19:41,359 about 4638 03:19:41,359 --> 03:19:42,640 all the time 4639 03:19:42,640 --> 03:19:45,359 non-stop um 4640 03:19:45,359 --> 03:19:47,600 phone calls emails 4641 03:19:47,600 --> 03:19:49,920 you name it we have it and we definitely 4642 03:19:49,920 --> 03:19:51,279 do need to knew 4643 03:19:51,279 --> 03:19:54,000 i was at a meeting just before this one 4644 03:19:54,000 --> 03:19:56,800 and noise was um one of the big 4645 03:19:56,800 --> 03:19:58,720 complaints about it and so you know we 4646 03:19:58,720 --> 03:20:00,640 looked at the the ordinance and there is 4647 03:20:00,640 --> 03:20:02,000 you know the city does have an ordinance 4648 03:20:02,000 --> 03:20:03,920 but it was more about and the police 4649 03:20:03,920 --> 03:20:04,960 were there 4650 03:20:04,960 --> 03:20:07,040 and they were talking about um 4651 03:20:07,040 --> 03:20:08,800 their priorities 4652 03:20:08,800 --> 03:20:10,160 calls that you know if they have a 4653 03:20:10,160 --> 03:20:12,000 priority threatening that's a if they 4654 03:20:12,000 --> 03:20:13,920 have a priority one noise is going to be 4655 03:20:13,920 --> 03:20:16,160 a priority three he specifically said 4656 03:20:16,160 --> 03:20:18,479 you may not see us for five hours 4657 03:20:18,479 --> 03:20:19,200 so 4658 03:20:19,200 --> 03:20:20,960 um i don't disagree something that needs 4659 03:20:20,960 --> 03:20:23,840 to be discussed but however um i think 4660 03:20:23,840 --> 03:20:25,680 it can get pretty emotional if we have 4661 03:20:25,680 --> 03:20:28,960 it there um wondering how we come with 4662 03:20:28,960 --> 03:20:30,640 it to say and this is what we can do 4663 03:20:30,640 --> 03:20:31,680 about it 4664 03:20:31,680 --> 03:20:34,319 so let's go ahead and step up sorry oh 4665 03:20:34,319 --> 03:20:36,319 yes um so 4666 03:20:36,319 --> 03:20:39,200 maybe we need to each think about or 4667 03:20:39,200 --> 03:20:41,439 send topics because i'm hearing what 4668 03:20:41,439 --> 03:20:43,520 you're saying i think when i think of a 4669 03:20:43,520 --> 03:20:45,840 town hall i think it's you know 4670 03:20:45,840 --> 03:20:47,359 the idea of being able to actually 4671 03:20:47,359 --> 03:20:50,319 solicit input from folks 4672 03:20:50,319 --> 03:20:52,239 um 4673 03:20:52,239 --> 03:20:55,680 so maybe that's too specific a topic also 4674 03:20:55,680 --> 03:20:58,160 in other words like maybe 4675 03:20:58,160 --> 03:20:59,439 inflation 4676 03:20:59,439 --> 03:21:02,560 um as a town hall issue 4677 03:21:02,560 --> 03:21:04,080 or 4678 03:21:04,080 --> 03:21:04,960 you know 4679 03:21:04,960 --> 03:21:07,279 environmental issues or something that 4680 03:21:07,279 --> 03:21:09,279 you know we can 4681 03:21:09,279 --> 03:21:11,040 think of some speakers 4682 03:21:11,040 --> 03:21:12,960 or you know 4683 03:21:12,960 --> 03:21:14,160 i i 4684 03:21:14,160 --> 03:21:16,080 i'm just saying maybe maybe we should be 4685 03:21:16,080 --> 03:21:17,680 kind of thinking of some topics and 4686 03:21:17,680 --> 03:21:19,880 sending ideas 4687 03:21:19,880 --> 03:21:21,439 [Music] 4688 03:21:21,439 --> 03:21:22,960 so i wasn't too hard pressing anyone 4689 03:21:22,960 --> 03:21:24,640 topic just more or less the intent of 4690 03:21:24,640 --> 03:21:26,239 doing something in the community i can 4691 03:21:26,239 --> 03:21:28,479 absolutely look and do a deep dive on 4692 03:21:28,479 --> 03:21:30,880 the noise ordinances and public 4693 03:21:30,880 --> 03:21:33,120 banking and then come together within a 4694 03:21:33,120 --> 03:21:34,800 proposed agenda and then we can kind of 4695 03:21:34,800 --> 03:21:38,560 have some information behind that 4696 03:21:38,560 --> 03:21:40,479 yes mr mayor are you looking to do a 4697 03:21:40,479 --> 03:21:43,040 city council meeting 4698 03:21:43,040 --> 03:21:46,560 or just going to be a separate 4699 03:21:46,560 --> 03:21:48,800 meeting of the council 4700 03:21:48,800 --> 03:21:50,319 my intent was to have a city council 4701 03:21:50,319 --> 03:21:51,200 meeting 4702 03:21:51,200 --> 03:21:53,760 and i think that's a good idea the only 4703 03:21:53,760 --> 03:21:55,279 thing i would submit to your 4704 03:21:55,279 --> 03:21:56,720 consideration 4705 03:21:56,720 --> 03:21:58,640 is sometimes you know you're going to 4706 03:21:58,640 --> 03:22:00,960 have the topic that looking for public 4707 03:22:00,960 --> 03:22:02,960 input 4708 03:22:02,960 --> 03:22:05,279 you might have something on the agenda 4709 03:22:05,279 --> 03:22:07,600 for a public hearing 4710 03:22:07,600 --> 03:22:09,680 the people for the public hearing 4711 03:22:09,680 --> 03:22:11,840 might not be concerned about 4712 03:22:11,840 --> 03:22:14,239 the topics there and those are people 4713 03:22:14,239 --> 03:22:16,080 who would traditionally come to city 4714 03:22:16,080 --> 03:22:17,920 hall you don't want to create an 4715 03:22:17,920 --> 03:22:22,479 impression that the people who 4716 03:22:22,479 --> 03:22:23,840 might be some controversy with the 4717 03:22:23,840 --> 03:22:25,760 public hearing 4718 03:22:25,760 --> 03:22:28,399 you're moving it out of city hall and so 4719 03:22:28,399 --> 03:22:31,920 there's just a scheduling issue there 4720 03:22:31,920 --> 03:22:33,200 which 4721 03:22:33,200 --> 03:22:34,479 should be 4722 03:22:34,479 --> 03:22:37,600 fairly easy to work around 4723 03:22:37,600 --> 03:22:38,960 it's just 4724 03:22:38,960 --> 03:22:41,120 seen sometimes where public hearings can 4725 03:22:41,120 --> 03:22:44,479 be more controversial than 4726 03:22:44,479 --> 03:22:46,880 the overall agenda and other times 4727 03:22:46,880 --> 03:22:49,040 everything just runs smooth and 4728 03:22:49,040 --> 03:22:50,880 i like to say we're all one big happy 4729 03:22:50,880 --> 03:22:51,750 family 4730 03:22:51,750 --> 03:22:53,359 [Music] 4731 03:22:53,359 --> 03:22:56,000 i think um i think though when we talked 4732 03:22:56,000 --> 03:22:58,640 about this last time we did decide i i 4733 03:22:58,640 --> 03:23:00,160 felt that we had decided that we weren't 4734 03:23:00,160 --> 03:23:01,840 going to do a city council meeting on 4735 03:23:01,840 --> 03:23:04,000 site but then instead we were moving to 4736 03:23:04,000 --> 03:23:05,200 the 4737 03:23:05,200 --> 03:23:07,760 i have three nodding heads here in a row 4738 03:23:07,760 --> 03:23:09,359 that it was more around the idea that we 4739 03:23:09,359 --> 03:23:11,359 were going to try to host some public 4740 03:23:11,359 --> 03:23:14,239 some town meetings on topics that might 4741 03:23:14,239 --> 03:23:16,399 be of interest to folks 4742 03:23:16,399 --> 03:23:18,640 to come and learn something um at the 4743 03:23:18,640 --> 03:23:20,160 tommy at least that was my impression 4744 03:23:20,160 --> 03:23:23,040 when we left that last meeting 4745 03:23:23,040 --> 03:23:23,920 go ahead 4746 03:23:23,920 --> 03:23:25,200 so i think the last meeting was that 4747 03:23:25,200 --> 03:23:26,800 there would be considerations from both 4748 03:23:26,800 --> 03:23:28,080 wasn't estimated no it wasn't 4749 03:23:28,080 --> 03:23:30,479 necessarily that we would um 4750 03:23:30,479 --> 03:23:33,200 not go down one um but again definitely 4751 03:23:33,200 --> 03:23:35,760 taking eating the mayor's recommendation 4752 03:23:35,760 --> 03:23:37,359 of making sure we're intentionally 4753 03:23:37,359 --> 03:23:38,960 looking at all avenues and potentially 4754 03:23:38,960 --> 03:23:40,640 exposing ourselves to this 4755 03:23:40,640 --> 03:23:42,640 i don't want to rush anything i don't 4756 03:23:42,640 --> 03:23:43,920 want to 4757 03:23:43,920 --> 03:23:47,730 expose us to with potential backlash or 4758 03:23:47,730 --> 03:23:49,200 [Music] 4759 03:23:49,200 --> 03:23:51,840 negatively affect topics that are of 4760 03:23:51,840 --> 03:23:54,479 benefit to the city so i'm not going to 4761 03:23:54,479 --> 03:23:56,160 do the work so i can come back with an 4762 03:23:56,160 --> 03:23:58,239 update 4763 03:23:58,239 --> 03:24:01,439 mr toro and and mr williams i totally 4764 03:24:01,439 --> 03:24:03,439 agree with you i mean our meetings are 4765 03:24:03,439 --> 03:24:06,319 kind of sad we need to bring people in 4766 03:24:06,319 --> 03:24:07,920 um 4767 03:24:07,920 --> 03:24:09,359 but going to them i don't think 4768 03:24:09,359 --> 03:24:11,680 necessarily would be the answer but 4769 03:24:11,680 --> 03:24:14,479 again if we visit their 4770 03:24:14,479 --> 03:24:16,720 neighborhood meetings which i visited i 4771 03:24:16,720 --> 03:24:18,319 tried to visit everyone's neighborhood 4772 03:24:18,319 --> 03:24:20,640 meetings but if we go as a group i mean 4773 03:24:20,640 --> 03:24:22,239 it's already being done 4774 03:24:22,239 --> 03:24:24,640 and we bring a a 4775 03:24:24,640 --> 03:24:27,040 speaker with us that day on 4776 03:24:27,040 --> 03:24:28,720 something but those meetings are already 4777 03:24:28,720 --> 03:24:31,040 being held in different neighborhoods 4778 03:24:31,040 --> 03:24:34,239 and um we just visit doing 4779 03:24:34,239 --> 03:24:36,560 rotations tomorrow neighborhood meetings 4780 03:24:36,560 --> 03:24:37,760 yeah 4781 03:24:37,760 --> 03:24:39,520 that's mrs wayne so i'd say we'd like to 4782 03:24:39,520 --> 03:24:41,520 organize a time for all of us to get 4783 03:24:41,520 --> 03:24:43,359 together and attend one meeting i would 4784 03:24:43,359 --> 03:24:46,720 absolutely not be opposed to that yeah 4785 03:24:46,720 --> 03:24:50,000 i most have stopped for the summer but 4786 03:24:50,000 --> 03:24:51,279 yeah 4787 03:24:51,279 --> 03:24:52,720 so we also 4788 03:24:52,720 --> 03:24:56,080 have liability potential of if we have a 4789 03:24:56,080 --> 03:24:58,960 council meeting outside of city hall so 4790 03:24:58,960 --> 03:25:02,000 a worker goes gets an accident there's 4791 03:25:02,000 --> 03:25:04,160 potential liability 4792 03:25:04,160 --> 03:25:06,479 we have a number of other issues 4793 03:25:06,479 --> 03:25:08,720 the mayor brought up a couple of those 4794 03:25:08,720 --> 03:25:09,920 um so 4795 03:25:09,920 --> 03:25:12,239 a council meeting outside of here i mean 4796 03:25:12,239 --> 03:25:13,439 we've seen 4797 03:25:13,439 --> 03:25:15,439 the attendance when 4798 03:25:15,439 --> 03:25:17,840 something of interest happens 4799 03:25:17,840 --> 03:25:19,760 it's been pretty good 4800 03:25:19,760 --> 03:25:21,279 and 4801 03:25:21,279 --> 03:25:23,920 you know the cannabis meeting granted it 4802 03:25:23,920 --> 03:25:26,319 was off-site but it's 4803 03:25:26,319 --> 03:25:28,479 right diagonal to city hall 4804 03:25:28,479 --> 03:25:29,680 so 4805 03:25:29,680 --> 03:25:31,680 i really feel strongly this is our 4806 03:25:31,680 --> 03:25:33,520 center of government 4807 03:25:33,520 --> 03:25:34,880 it's a symbol 4808 03:25:34,880 --> 03:25:36,319 and that's where we should have our 4809 03:25:36,319 --> 03:25:37,920 meetings 4810 03:25:37,920 --> 03:25:41,040 having a town hall all four 4811 03:25:41,040 --> 03:25:43,760 with a prescribed topic and 4812 03:25:43,760 --> 03:25:45,439 bringing in the neighborhood or people 4813 03:25:45,439 --> 03:25:46,960 around the city 4814 03:25:46,960 --> 03:25:48,160 fine 4815 03:25:48,160 --> 03:25:51,840 that's just us has a council showing up 4816 03:25:51,840 --> 03:25:52,800 um 4817 03:25:52,800 --> 03:25:54,880 but a council meeting 4818 03:25:54,880 --> 03:25:58,000 i mean been pretty steadfast with that 4819 03:25:58,000 --> 03:26:00,960 i i just will say that we this is not 4820 03:26:00,960 --> 03:26:02,800 new it's been done before the council i 4821 03:26:02,800 --> 03:26:04,080 don't know if america is on the council 4822 03:26:04,080 --> 03:26:06,239 of the time he's been on the council for 4823 03:26:06,239 --> 03:26:07,760 a long time but so it's not a new 4824 03:26:07,760 --> 03:26:08,880 concept 4825 03:26:08,880 --> 03:26:10,720 the city i can go back i'll go back and 4826 03:26:10,720 --> 03:26:12,160 give you the information so city hall 4827 03:26:12,160 --> 03:26:13,760 meetings have been held outside of city 4828 03:26:13,760 --> 03:26:17,760 hall before so it would not be a first 4829 03:26:17,760 --> 03:26:19,840 and in terms of you know i mean we did 4830 03:26:19,840 --> 03:26:21,520 through the cannabis meeting yes it was 4831 03:26:21,520 --> 03:26:23,359 there um that's because the size of the 4832 03:26:23,359 --> 03:26:24,239 space 4833 03:26:24,239 --> 03:26:27,040 um i just think that it's you know as i 4834 03:26:27,040 --> 03:26:28,880 said before and i'll say again that we 4835 03:26:28,880 --> 03:26:32,080 continually go to people when we want to 4836 03:26:32,080 --> 03:26:34,319 you know to solicit them and so bringing 4837 03:26:34,319 --> 03:26:35,920 a meeting into the community to me is 4838 03:26:35,920 --> 03:26:39,279 not outside of of us just saying to them 4839 03:26:39,279 --> 03:26:42,000 okay we come to you during election time 4840 03:26:42,000 --> 03:26:43,520 now we're coming to you as well i'm 4841 03:26:43,520 --> 03:26:44,640 putting something right in your 4842 03:26:44,640 --> 03:26:46,560 neighborhood i don't think
