00:19:57,660 --> 00:20:00,660 on this program 49 00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:02,340 was an extremely meaningful program 50 00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:03,780 however 51 00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:05,820 um so okay yeah extremely meaningful 52 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:08,160 program and it really required the 53 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,620 support of all the council and I was um 54 00:20:10,620 --> 00:20:12,299

questions and I think that it might have 58 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,640 not turned out the way we initially 59 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,679 attended but our ability to kind of 60 00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:25,039 rally around our new really 61 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:28,200 gave us a great opportunity to see what 62 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,179 they can do and give them you know make 63 00:20:30,179 --> 00:20:31,559 some investment in them so I was just 64 00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:35,100 really happy to introduce Dr kotto but 65 00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:36,360 before I did that I just

city council 72 00:20:51,539 --> 00:20:53,340 and the mayor supporting these efforts 73 00:20:53,340 --> 00:20:56,160 as it relates to our you know our youth 74 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,480 Here in Schenectady and the 75 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,820 opportunities that they have this summer 76 00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:02,460 I have provided you know the the packet 77 00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:05,160 that you have has the presentation in it 78 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,480 but there's also some information on the 79 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,660 district and as far as District calendar 80 00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:11,640 our Spotlight things that we highlighted 81 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,799 for last year and some other you know 82 00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:14,940 information as it relates to the 83 00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,160 district as a whole as I get started I 84 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,440 just want to kind of share our strategic 85 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,120 plan as a whole this is something that 86 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:22,140 we kind of start most of our 87 00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:24,000 presentations with 88 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,620 um and I will tell you it completely 89 00:21:25,620 --> 00:21:27,539 aligns with this work that we did with 90 00:21:27,539 --> 00:21:30,120 our youth this summer because at the end 91 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,260 of the day we're trying to grow our own 92 00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:33,419 here in this community so as we look at 93 00:21:33,419 --> 00:21:34,799 the district as we look at community 94 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,860 staff and overall students um as you 95 00:21:37,860 --> 00:21:38,880 look at each of those particular 96 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,500 strategic areas 97 00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:42,960 the youth employment piece definitely 98 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,659 provides access in all those areas it 99 00:21:45,659 --> 00:21:49,320 relates to the district and a whole 100 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,000 again we anchor everything with our 101 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,299 vision our tagline and our core values 102 00:21:53,299 --> 00:21:56,280 these are you know this also kind of 103 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,900 resonated throughout the course of this 104 00:21:57,900 --> 00:21:59,220 summer and throughout the course of the 105 00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:01,320 school year we're still working on that 106 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,539 everyone counts everyone learns I'm 107 00:22:03,539 --> 00:22:04,860 still working on the equity the 108 00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:06,960 collaboration and the hope is that this 109 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,059 is just the start of strengthening those 110 00:22:09,059 --> 00:22:11,159 particular pieces as it relates to some 111 00:22:11,159 --> 00:22:13,380 of this work 112 00:22:13,380 --> 00:22:15,419 and then our four pillars 113 00:22:15,419 --> 00:22:18,000 um which anchors all of this work at the 114 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,440 end of the day our goal is to graduate 115 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,419 our students on time and prepare them 116 00:22:21,419 --> 00:22:23,580 for college and career opportunities but 117 00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:25,559 also skills trades entrepreneurship 118 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:27,900 Workforce Development really trying to 119 00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:29,880 provide Pathways that provide them with 120 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,799 those those kind of experiences at an 121 00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:33,480 early age so that as they transition 122 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,700 into middle and high school they now 123 00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:37,740 have more information in which they took 124 00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:38,760 the information they need in order to 125 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,080 make some sound decisions around their 126 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,600 career paths as a whole and again a lot 127 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,280 of the experiences that I use kind of 128 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,380 experienced over the summer provided 129 00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:48,900 some of that kind of pathway in some 130 00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:50,700 aspects and in others it was just an 131 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:52,380 experience that helps to transition on 132 00:22:52,380 --> 00:22:53,700 those leadership skills that are needed 133 00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:57,240 just to be a productive young man or 134 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,460 young lady within our community 135 00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:01,620 so I jump right into our summer youth 136 00:23:01,620 --> 00:23:03,360 program 137 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:05,780 um this summer we had 138 00:23:05,780 --> 00:23:09,659 265 youth that was served this work that 139 00:23:09,659 --> 00:23:11,280 was done it was done in partnership with 140 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,440 Schenectady connects or some of Youth 141 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,919 Employment so working with Jen vargy and 142 00:23:16,919 --> 00:23:18,659 kind of facilitating some of this work 143 00:23:18,659 --> 00:23:21,780 as a whole they received when we 144 00:23:21,780 --> 00:23:25,559 received over 479 applications out of 145 00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:27,419 those 479 applications the next slide 146 00:23:27,419 --> 00:23:29,400 I'll kind of give a breakdown of where 147 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,320 we where we landed as far as providing 148 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,419 those students those opportunities 149 00:23:33,419 --> 00:23:35,340 but the Partnerships that took place 150 00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:37,200 throughout this process 151 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,000 um were a combination of not-for-profit 152 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,220 government and private sector 153 00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:43,980 organizations we had over 72 work sites 154 00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:45,960 and we've highlighted a couple of them 155 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,400 in this particular slide here with 156 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,960 counseling and training Food Services 157 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,900 clerical retail Landscaping positions 158 00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:54,240 and many others 159 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,240 again I can't thank enough city council 160 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,620 and the mayor for supporting these 161 00:23:58,620 --> 00:24:01,559 efforts the initial goal was to get you 162 00:24:01,559 --> 00:24:03,600 know have 75 of our students benefit 163 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,480 from this program and we did service 75 164 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,480 of our students in the district 165 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,919 in doing that the breakdown as it 166 00:24:10,919 --> 00:24:13,500 relates to the overall percentage and 167 00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:16,620 that that the age range we had those 168 00:24:16,620 --> 00:24:18,780 students under the age of 18 about 65 169 00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:20,280 percent of our students were under the 170 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,299 age of 16 I mean that's 18 and then um 171 00:24:24,299 --> 00:24:28,140 the ages of 14 and 15 about 35 percent 172 00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:29,880 I'm sorry this broke down a little 173 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,220 differently so I'm reading it wrong so 174 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,780 let me make sure that 175 00:24:33,780 --> 00:24:36,120 break it down as a 176 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:37,620 so all of our students were under the 177 00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:40,320 age of 18. and those that were service 178 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,720 between the ages of 14 and 15 were about 179 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,179 65 percent of the students and then 35 180 00:24:45,179 --> 00:24:48,240 between the ages of 16 and 17. 181 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,640 without the support these 75 students 182 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,320 wouldn't have this access to these 183 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,480 opportunities and they wouldn't build up 184 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,000 around those transitional skills that 185 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,039 have required regardless of the the kind 186 00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,440 of job that you have you learn a lot in 187 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,480 every job that you kind of navigate and 188 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,039 all those things help strengthen you as 189 00:25:05,039 --> 00:25:07,620 a leader so there's never the wrong job 190 00:25:07,620 --> 00:25:10,080 it's just how do you process I would 191 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,299 share one of my first jobs with KFC and 192 00:25:12,299 --> 00:25:14,460 I only lasted two weeks but I but I 193 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:16,320 learned a lot from that experience as a 194 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,360 whole and I think our students whether 195 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:19,919 it's uh you know whether that transition 196 00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:21,480 is the right one or the experience is 197 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,220 the right one at the end of the day you 198 00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:25,500 gain whether positive or negative you 199 00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,880 gain things out of the strengthen you as 200 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,950 a leader 201 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,179 so the program itself you know 20 202 00:25:33,179 --> 00:25:36,240 obtained employment from within that 75 203 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,240 students and they're they have standing 204 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,100 offers within that overall employment 205 00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:45,059 opportunity or a higher you know 206 00:25:45,059 --> 00:25:47,279 within that process their favorable 207 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,740 recommendations from that worksite to 208 00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:51,600 continue within that work so they have 209 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,039 the opportunity to continue within those 210 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:55,320 particular areas all of our youth were 211 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,600 under the age of 18 and the older 212 00:25:57,600 -->

00:30:06,779 they don't work a lot of time especially 285 00:30:06,779 --> 00:30:11,930 in the outcome outside 286 00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:13,440 [Music] 287 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,279 there should

was with the two 298 00:30:48,899 --> 00:30:50,520 principals of the building Chris Shank 299 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,980 and Dennis Green just engaging in 300 00:30:52,980 --> 00:30:56,580 conversation with uh which then led to 301 00:30:56,580 --> 00:30:58,320 kind of some of their overall thoughts 302 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,600 and kind of ideas that they wanted to 303 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,460 kind of deliver throughout the community 304 00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:05,159 as a whole with that said I mean after 305 00:31:05,159 --> 00:31:06,600 that video these were these were the 306 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,000 areas that the youth and that within the 307 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,799 partnership as a whole were provided for 308 00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:13,200 students so the food drives the 309 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,179 insecurity that the students spoke of 310 00:31:15,179 --> 00:31:18,000 the Cornell Cooperative Extension roots 311 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,360 and wisdom sitcom Price Chopper niska 312 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,820 Co-op which is some of those partners 313 00:31:23,820 --> 00:31:25,679 that were those work sites that were 314 00:31:25,679 --> 00:31:27,419 provided to the students for those 315 00:31:27,419 --> 00:31:29,820 overall experiences 316 00:31:29,820 --> 00:31:32,580 beautification of the city so anchoring 317 00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:33,600 on some of the things that were 318 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,720 discussed even here at city council 319 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,159 these were some of the overall programs 320 00:31:38,159 --> 00:31:39,600 that were provided to the students 321 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,899 Within These two buckets of focus areas 322 00:31:42,899 --> 00:31:45,539 so the retreat project Hamilton Hill 323 00:31:45,539 --> 00:31:47,580 Arts Center and then the Schenectady 324 00:31:47,580 --> 00:31:50,399 County Conservation District with those 325 00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:52,080 areas within the beautification piece 326 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,880 the parks and other opportunities for 327 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,980 children you know we did have six of our 328 00:31:55,980 --> 00:31:58,380 students that worked through our summer 329 00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:00,539 enrichment program and again that kind 330 00:32:00,539 --> 00:32:02,220 of gets them engaged into that 331 00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:04,320 opportunity to work with students the 332 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,059 goal then is to kind of inspire them and 333 00:32:06,059 --> 00:32:07,860 motivate them to shift into becoming 334 00:32:07,860 --> 00:32:09,480 Educators and becoming teachers within 335 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,760 our district five worked with the Boys 336 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,960 and Girls Club 337 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,880 same kind of concept because those are 338 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,320 some of the areas where our students 339 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,260 kind of Thrive Sports and being involved 340 00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:20,820 in those type of activities and engaging 341 00:32:20,820 --> 00:32:23,700 within our youth uh Girls Inc I know 342 00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:25,380 that that's a huge motivating piece for 343 00:32:25,380 --> 00:32:26,820 our young ladies and that program does a 344 00:32:26,820 --> 00:32:28,620 phenomenal job in the community so 345 00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:30,840 helping them move those young ladies 346 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,480 into those kind of leadership roles 347 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,760 there my side has been a major partner 348 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,320 as well which helps with the stem kind 349 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,640 of opportunities in those particular 350 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,700 accesses my daughter and me which is a 351 00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:42,960 program that runs within the community 352 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,480 as a whole again just motivating and 353 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,340 inspiring young ladies to believe in 354 00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:49,080 self 355 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,080 um in the Parsons Early Learning Center 356 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,700 the one the one I just want to share 357 00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:55,320 there was a young lady that they 358 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,360 highlighted in reference to each 359 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,460 particular site had the opportunity to 360 00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:03,240 recognize their employee of the summer 361 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,620 um and this one was pretty interesting 362 00:33:04,620 --> 00:33:06,000 in the fact that the young lady was 363 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,179 extremely shy before she started but 364 00:33:09,179 --> 00:33:11,460 then as she started to work and working 365 00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:13,799 within you know that the cashier and 366 00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:15,299 having to have the conversations to 367 00:33:15,299 --> 00:33:17,760 build on her overall confidence and 368 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,559 she's actually now employed part-time 369 00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,380 within the within that particular CBS 370 00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:24,419 but it's just that story that at the end 371 00:33:24,419 --> 00:33:26,220 of the day once we connect our students 372 00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:28,320 to these opportunities it's just a 373 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,059 startup where that then goes later on 374 00:33:30,059 --> 00:33:32,820 and she's doing a phenomenal job and now 375 00:33:32,820 --> 00:33:35,399 has built on her overall self esteem and 376 00:33:35,399 --> 00:33:37,380 confidence and is out there you know 377 00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:39,679 doing her thing 378 00:33:39,679 --> 00:33:43,019 uh that's that kind of completes the 379 00:33:43,019 --> 00:33:45,179 overall survey I mean here we as the 380 00:33:45,179 --> 00:33:46,440 district have this tagline of 381 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,840 Schenectady Rising I do believe that 382 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,360 this supports those efforts um in the 383 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,360 community as a whole ultimately these 75 384 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,799 students that were supported through 385 00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:58,260 city council and the mayor 75 students 386 00:33:58,260 --> 00:34:00,179 that would have not been supported that 387 00:34:00,179 --> 00:34:02,519 have all had an experience this Summer 388 00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:04,399 that now has either been a continued 389 00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:07,080 throughout the school year and if not 390 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,060 they've transitioned those skills into 391 00:34:09,060 --> 00:34:11,280 preparing themselves for this upcoming 392 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,159 Academic Year in preparing to now kind 393 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,440 of plan for their future 394 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,020 uh Schenectady is something that we lead 395 00:34:19,020 --> 00:34:21,240 within our district as well and as I 396 00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:22,500 mentioned at the beginning we're still 397 00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:24,060 working on bringing all these pieces 398 00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:26,339 together but at the end of the day we're 399 00:34:26,339 --> 00:34:28,020 trying to do all that we can to provide 400 00:34:28,020 --> 00:34:31,139 access to all uh within our community 401 00:34:31,139 --> 00:34:35,040 with that said any questions for me 402 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:41,159 if that works I'll mentioned so I just want to clarify the 20 and Beyond 403 00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:42,960 so there were students out of the 75 404 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,659 that kept 20 of them are working beyond 405 00:34:45,659 --> 00:34:48,359 the summer yes that they were able to 406 00:34:48,359 --> 00:34:50,520 continue within those and then others 407 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,619 you know depending on whether or not 408 00:34:52,619 --> 00:34:55,020 they transitioned into sports but um 20 409 00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:59,990 of them were sustained throughout 410 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,880 um so next year will it be another group 411 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,520 like give another 75 children a chance 412 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,700 or would we fall back to these children 413 00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:10,560 who already were working in that 414 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,119 Workforce this year I think a 415 00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:13,800 combination and I think for those that 416 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,240 are involved hopefully the the 417 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:16,680 organizations in which they're working 418 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,560 for they transition into those but I 419 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,720 think I think even for this it was open 420 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:24,900 to all we focused on the 75 within the 421 00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:27,240 district and then many others you know 422 00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:29,160 also had the opportunity but I would say 423 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,320 a combination if we could I mean because 424 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,660 again some of those particular 425 00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:35,820 jobs may be seeking those same 426 00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:38,160 individuals because some of them are as 427 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,619 young as 14 so kind of roaming within 428 00:35:40,619 --> 00:35:42,660 that overall and we'll we'll connect 429 00:35:42,660 --> 00:35:44,460 with those students as well to kind of 430 00:35:44,460 --> 00:35:46,380 get a better sense on whether their 431 00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:47,940 desire is to continue because it's an 432 00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:49,619 area that they want to you know build 433 00:35:49,619 --> 00:35:52,260 upon us as leaders in the community 434 00:35:52,260 --> 00:35:54,240 very nice 435 00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:57,359 so it seems as though the 75 students it 436 00:35:57,359 --> 00:35:59,099 actually there there were sort of 437 00:35:59,099 --> 00:36:00,240 distinct 438 00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:03,000 jobs and job opportunities for these 75 439 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,359 students within 440 00:36:05,359 --> 00:36:10,140 the larger Schenectady job and 441 00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:12,180 Improvement I forget what the acronym is 442 00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:15,180 but within that Schenectady County piece 443 00:36:15,180 --> 00:36:19,020 these 75 students were held distinct 444 00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:22,020 with the funding that we as a city had 445 00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:24,240 provided which was one of my concerns 446 00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:27,240 when we first talked about it so am I 447 00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,099 I'm hearing that correct yes I mean I 448 00:36:29,099 --> 00:36:30,960 think even with the the video itself 449 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,900 ain't good those and so as they met I 450 00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:35,220 mean there's a process to it so there's 451 00:36:35,220 --> 00:36:37,140 an interview process and they they place 452 00:36:37,140 --> 00:36:39,359 the students based on that interview 453 00:36:39,359 --> 00:36:41,400 process but also based on the feedback 454 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,260 that we provided in reference to where 455 00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:45,660 they want to work and there was a focus 456 00:36:45,660 --> 00:36:48,660 for our students in reference to what 457 00:36:48,660 --> 00:36:49,980 that video shared as far as those 458 00:36:49,980 --> 00:36:51,480 different and we had a you know print 459 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,820 out that kind of also spoke to their 460 00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:55,500 overall interested in doing things 461 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:57,960 within the community as a whole and one 462 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,480 more uh the video was 463 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,599 um before they all Yes 464 00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,820 um okay because I know that we had 465 00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:07,500 talked about that initially as well 466 00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:09,359 because it sounded like 467 00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:11,160 um you know that was initially I think 468 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,500 mayor McCarthy's goal was to try to come 469 00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:15,420 up with projects that the students were 470 00:37:15,420 --> 00:37:16,859 interested in doing and it sounds like 471 00:37:16,859 --> 00:37:19,440 the video meant that yes neat and that 472 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,839 video was done even before I presented 473 00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:24,119 that's what I was thinking yeah okay 474 00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:26,579 so that's so and then you tailored some 475 00:37:26,579 --> 00:37:28,740 of these positions to those different 476 00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:31,370 areas 477 00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:33,839 I'm glad about that uh in terms of 478 00:37:33,839 --> 00:37:35,700 funding we utilize all the funding that 479 00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:38,280 was allocated I don't believe we did you 480 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,180 know so I know that there was 481 00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:41,160 conversations around looking 482 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,960 um to the throughout the course of the 483 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,520 school year and supporting some of those 484 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,380 efforts I know some have the 20 have 485 00:37:46,380 --> 00:37:48,599 kind of shifted into the roles 486 00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:51,300 um outside of the school day but um I 487 00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:53,520 don't know exactly the the amount I 488 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,560 think but I know that with the 75 it 489 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,940 wasn't going to 490 00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:59,359 you know hit the threshold of what was 491 00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:03,290 supported to funds 492 00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:05,280 along those same lines I've been getting 493 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,220 a lot of questions like that 494 00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:11,640 um could you send us uh a pretty 495 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,380 detailed accounting of where the money 496 00:38:13,380 --> 00:38:16,800 went to how much was spent in the job 497 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,920 titles associated with not the students 498 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,960 I mean we have that but the 499 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,460 administrative costs and things like 500 00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:24,300 that 501 00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:55,810 foreign 502 00:38:55,820 --> 00:38:58,680 were they each given some sort of 503 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,599 evaluation form or something I mean I 504 00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:05,220 loved the story that you shared 505 00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:06,720 I was just wondering if you had that 506 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,339 down they are I mean there's a there's a 507 00:39:08,339 --> 00:39:09,780 coach that was attached to them 508 00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:11,400 throughout the process as well they post 509 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,140 them through and I mean that coach would 510 00:39:13,140 --> 00:39:14,760 also assess whether they were coming in 511 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,440 on time 512 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,660 um but there's also an end of the 513 00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:20,940 program evaluation that speaks there's 514 00:39:20,940 --> 00:39:23,339 also an evaluation of the interview to 515 00:39:23,339 --> 00:39:25,200 kind of highlight I don't know if that 516 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,300 was a physical piece of paper that was 517 00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,160 given and if they kept but I can check 518 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,200 to see if they've kept copies 519 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,720 throughout the process there 520 00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:35,579 I wouldn't say evaluated but they're 521 00:39:35,579 --> 00:39:38,040 kind of coached throughout oh yeah and 522 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,200 then they're provided with a closure 523 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,260 kind of I actually meant the other way I 524 00:39:43,260 --> 00:39:45,240 remember that from when I was working 525 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:46,800 and participated in this kind of a 526 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,119 program but 527 00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:50,040 um I'm in where the students given 528 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,780 something to evaluate their own 529 00:39:51,780 --> 00:39:54,359 experiences like the young woman's story 530 00:39:54,359 --> 00:39:57,119 that you shared do you think that each 531 00:39:57,119 --> 00:39:58,500 of the subjects I'd just be interested 532 00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,119 to see even what they thought about 533 00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:02,339 their experiences I think as a reflect 534 00:40:02,339 --> 00:40:04,020 but even if there if there wasn't like 535 00:40:04,020 --> 00:40:05,820 we can do that you know as a district we 536 00:40:05,820 --> 00:40:07,800 have ways in which to get a reflective 537 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,020 piece but I can check to see if there 538 00:40:10,020 --> 00:40:12,480 was one on on that end but if not we can 539 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,099 do one another so I think that you know 540 00:40:14,099 --> 00:40:16,740 the idea of this young woman who gained 541 00:40:16,740 --> 00:40:19,200 her confidence and and was able to you 542 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,359 know a little bit find a voice uh that 543 00:40:21,359 --> 00:40:22,740 maybe she didn't start out the 544 00:40:22,740 --> 00:40:25,200 experience with is really 545 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,260 um Rich uh and very meaningful so I 546 00:40:28,260 --> 00:40:30,480 appreciate you sharing that that story I 547 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,520 think that you know 548 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,560 our commitment to this program I think 549 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,880 that you know one of the things that to 550 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,200 your point I think can be a really good 551 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,240 point is that what we want to do is we 552 00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:40,680 want to hear from the participants 553 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,300 themselves I think that you know so we 554 00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:44,220 want to you know create um you know 555 00:40:44,220 --> 00:40:46,200 intentionally create some space and time 556 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,820 for us to do that um I think that that would be really really valuable 557 00:40:50,820 --> 00:40:53,579 um not just for our own information but 558 00:40:53,579 --> 00:40:55,260 it kind of reinforces to the students 559 00:40:55,260 --> 00:40:57,900 that we're listening to you and and 560 00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:00,119 we're not just saying here let's you 561 00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:02,339 know write a check and then you just go 562 00:41:02,339 --> 00:41:04,740 get a jet plane we were listening to you 563 00:41:04,740 --> 00:41:06,119 we wanted to see where we can be better 564 00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,760 at and you want to make sure that you 565 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,260 know we're hitting the Mark here and I 566 00:41:10,260 --> 00:41:12,480 think so kind of to you know to the 567 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,020 mayor's initial idea around these things 568 00:41:16,020 --> 00:41:18,980 I don't think that you know we have 569 00:41:18,980 --> 00:41:22,020 fully gotten it so I think that's it's a 570 00:41:22,020 --> 00:41:23,760 process that we have to continue to 571 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,560 build on because I think 572 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:26,339 um 573 00:41:26,339 --> 00:41:28,680 this is a really important kind of 574 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,660 stepping stone piece but I think that 575 00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:32,280 hearing from the youth themselves they 576 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,020 will give us a lot of great feedback and 577 00:41:34,020 --> 00:41:35,940 I so I can't stress that enough so I 578 00:41:35,940 --> 00:41:37,800 think we will create some time space to 579 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,329 do that 580 00:41:41,339 --> 00:41:44,700 any other questions thank you Dr photo 581 00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:47,470 thank you thank you so much 582 00:41:47,470 --> 00:41:52,550 [Music] 583 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,780 falterative Finance community and of 584 00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:56,520 course item is a manned agreement to 585 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,440 reimburse Schenectady County for work 586 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,359 for Farms on behalf of the city of 587 00:42:00,359 --> 00:42:05,050 Schenectady police departments 588 00:42:05,060 --> 00:42:08,339 thank you Mr chairman uh this is it 589 00:42:08,339 --> 00:42:11,390 agreement that we've 590 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,320 out of the county for a number of years 591 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,220 this offsets we subsidized the cost of 592 00:42:17,220 --> 00:42:18,480 an investigator in the district's 593 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,359 attorney's office in the uh kind of the 594 00:42:21,359 --> 00:42:23,780 simple uh 595 00:42:23,780 --> 00:42:27,720 recap of the process normally up until 596 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:30,300 the arrest all the expenses are the 597 00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:31,820 responsibility of the police department 598 00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:34,800 after an arrest then the prosecution I 599 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,339 think goes to the DA's office 600 00:42:37,339 --> 00:42:40,380 Rick Boris who's one of the 601 00:42:40,380 --> 00:42:43,260 investigators in DA's office has been 602 00:42:43,260 --> 00:42:45,720 very intricately involved in the 603 00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:47,820 evolution of the camera system and some 604 00:42:47,820 --> 00:42:51,480 of the technology so he comes in on a 605 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,339 regular basis and staff some of the 606 00:42:53,339 --> 00:42:57,119 stuff to help the police really prereft 607 00:42:57,119 --> 00:42:59,640 some private committed they will cue the 608 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,140 cameras up document the activity which 609 00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:06,540 leads to an arrest and some of that is 610 00:43:06,540 --> 00:43:08,339 Technically when you look at it really 611 00:43:08,339 --> 00:43:09,540 should be the responsibility of the 612 00:43:09,540 --> 00:43:12,839 police department they do it so this 613 00:43:12,839 --> 00:43:16,190 agreement we 614 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,560 pay for some of that to the county and 615 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,660 it's 616 00:43:20,660 --> 00:43:23,400 we don't get down to auditing every 617 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,599 dollar and see there for so many hours 618 00:43:26,599 --> 00:43:30,740 but it's been a very functional in uh 619 00:43:30,740 --> 00:43:34,099 pragmatic relationship that has produced 620

agenda yeah 656 00:45:20,819 --> 00:45:22,980 the next item is discussion American 657 00:45:22,980 --> 00:45:26,710 Rescue plan Act 658 00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:29,700 no okay 659 00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:31,920 it looks like he's coming hugs well I'm 660 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:37,510 sure 661 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,079 you want to talk about it I can I can 662 00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:42,359 only talk I can I don't want to speak to 663 00:45:42,359 --> 00:45:44,400 Mr Crowley but I knew that what his um 664 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,560 what the reason he has to have it back 665 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,780 on the agenda was as you all know we've 666 00:45:48,780 --> 00:45:50,700 talked about 667 00:45:50,700 --> 00:45:53,760 it's freeway for me we talked about 668 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,060 it and um so his uh about having a 669 00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:59,160 second round and 670 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,800 um that we when we initially talked 671 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,660 about it that there was much 672 00:46:03,660 --> 00:46:06,240 conversation about the second round and 673 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,400 even on the um 674 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,440 website said that the first money was 675 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,800 the initial round and so Mr Farley's 676 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,440 point was we should be discussing and 677 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,720 making real efforts to have the second 678 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:21,480 round so that's my understanding of my 679 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:22,740 conversations with him I don't want to 680 00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:24,000 speak for him 681 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,119 entirely but 682 00:46:27,119 --> 00:46:31,099 that's it any discussion 683 00:46:31,099 --> 00:46:35,099 I should wait I'd like to hear from Mr 684 00:46:35,099 --> 00:46:36,500 Farley 685 00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:39,660 can you see me no I can't and he wasn't 686 00:46:39,660 --> 00:46:43,740 talking to us so I mean he was not you 687 00:46:43,740 --> 00:46:45,240 were talking to Dr Coto I think right 688 00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:47,460 yes 689 00:46:47,460 --> 00:46:50,520 off for two weeks 690 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,079 while he'll be back in the room in a 691 00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:53,880 minute so we can hear whatever he has to 692 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,800 say I don't think he has an obvious 693 00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:02,030 phone 694 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:10,970 oh 695 00:47:10,980 --> 00:47:16,740 there he comes 696 00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:24,349 [Music] 697 00:47:24,359 --> 00:47:28,390 foreign 698 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,660 just kind of like tried to recap what 699 00:47:30,660 --> 00:47:33,540 our discussion so you can 700 00:47:33,540 --> 00:47:35,400 disabilities that you have to do this 701 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,619 topic of the article sure so so 702 00:47:37,619 --> 00:47:39,480 um my last committee meeting we 703 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,640 discussed um 704 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,020 throughout the process we talked about 705 00:47:43,020 --> 00:47:45,900 the possibility of uh there being a 706 00:47:45,900 --> 00:47:48,000 second round application process 707 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,220 um and my thoughts on that were that 708 00:47:50,220 --> 00:47:52,200 that's something that we said we were 709 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,880 going to do 710 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,880 um and I just think that if we have the 711 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,560 capacity to do it then we should we 712 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,420 should do it and I but I know that 713 00:48:00,420 --> 00:48:02,400 there's also some considerations that we 714 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,140 have to make around our projects right 715 00:48:04,140 --> 00:48:07,200 so I think that you 716 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,060 we can kind of put our heads together to 717 00:48:09,060 --> 00:48:11,579 see how we can uh manage to do both 718 00:48:11,579 --> 00:48:13,020 things I think that's the way we should 719 00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:15,540 be thinking that's all 720 00:48:15,540 --> 00:48:20,990 right questions in regards 721 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,480 go ahead please I respectfully uh 722 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,280 disagree with opening up the process 723 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,980 again I think that we've spent a lot of 724 00:48:28,980 --> 00:48:31,260 time on the first round and we still 725 00:48:31,260 --> 00:48:33,359 have many applications that we have not 726 00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:36,720 considered from the first round plus I 727 00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:38,940 think that I think we're down to about 728 00:48:38,940 --> 00:48:43,079 nine million dollars that is left in the 729 00:48:43,079 --> 00:48:43,819 original 730 00:48:43,819 --> 00:48:46,859 52.52 million dollars is the last time 731 00:48:46,859 --> 00:48:50,099 we said 10. it was like under 10 or you 732 00:48:50,099 --> 00:48:51,900 know that kind of thing so good 733 00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:54,839 um I wasn't here so two weeks ago so I 734 00:48:54,839 --> 00:48:57,180 you know didn't keep as good track last 735 00:48:57,180 --> 00:48:59,099 that time 736 00:48:59,099 --> 00:49:00,900 um so I just feel like there's still 737 00:49:00,900 --> 00:49:03,420 some projects that um I think each of us 738 00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:06,359 might want to still see come to the 739 00:49:06,359 --> 00:49:08,040 table I don't know when we're going to 740 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,200 have that discussion but um from the 741 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,540 first round so 742 00:49:12,540 --> 00:49:16,339 um I'd leave it at that but I think 743 00:49:16,339 --> 00:49:18,660 reopening another Grant application 744 00:49:18,660 --> 00:49:22,500 process will and I know we have time 745 00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:25,560 but I just feel that it's not fair to 746 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,440 the initial Grant applicants 747 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:29,880 um that we may not have already 748 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000 considered so I leave it at that that's 749 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,690 my piece 750 00:49:35,700 --> 00:49:38,339 that's not nice to me 751 00:49:38,339 --> 00:49:42,060 so uh so what I was I I can see why we 752 00:49:42,060 --> 00:49:44,040 might feel that way so I don't I don't 753 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,660 think we're too far apart on thinking on 754 00:49:45,660 --> 00:49:49,380 that which is a good thing but I guess 755 00:49:49,380 --> 00:49:52,500 then I think we should have kind of 756 00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:54,240 framed it differently like um just a 757 00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:55,619 language that we use the Honda City 758 00:49:55,619 --> 00:49:57,000 website 759 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,280 um and you know the conversation that we 760 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,180 had 761 00:50:00,180 --> 00:50:02,460 um in previous committee meetings 762 00:50:02,460 --> 00:50:04,380 um you know the public has an 763 00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:06,359 expectation that for the people who 764 00:50:06,359 --> 00:50:07,500 didn't 765 00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:09,540 um submit the application uh for the 766 00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:11,339 first round that they would have an 767 00:50:11,339 --> 00:50:13,680 opportunity to submit for the second one 768 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,560 so I I don't know that it has to be 769 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,680 either or I think that you know we do 770 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,480 need to look at the funds that are 771 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,780 remaining and still consider um some of 772 00:50:24,780 --> 00:50:26,180 the different projects 773 00:50:26,180 --> 00:50:29,280 that have Rose to the level of kind of 774 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,119 priority 775 00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:32,280 um through the development office as 776 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,140 well as feedback that we've gotten from 777 00:50:34,140 --> 00:50:36,300 stakeholders so I think I think we can 778 00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:38,579 do both and I think we should do both 779 00:50:38,579 --> 00:50:41,520 and I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of 780 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,040 like I know that like having the 781 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,720 advisory committee 782 00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:47,579 um you know some of the um other things 783 00:50:47,579 --> 00:50:54,960 you know I don't think we need to um if we could still do it without those without those uh things 784 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,579 that made it a little the process a 785 00:50:56,579 --> 00:50:58,680 little longer but I do think that you 786 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,540 know again that we kind of need to honor 787 00:51:00,540 --> 00:51:02,880 our word and see um if we can do both 788 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,859 that's the way we should be thinking but 789 00:51:04,859 --> 00:51:09,910 I I appreciate your feedback 790 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,960 once again just want to clarify we 791 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,460 didn't all agree to this and I 792 00:51:14,460 --> 00:51:16,980 understand what you're saying but people 793 00:51:16,980 --> 00:51:19,680 need to understand that wasn't a council 794 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:20,960 agreement 795 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,000 the if we wanted to have a second round 796 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,460 it would have made much more sense to I 797 00:51:26,460 --> 00:51:29,160 think a pointless the Toro made to stop 798 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,160 around the 26 million point 799 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,559 that would have been fair and it would 800 00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:36,780 have given everybody an opportunity now 801 00:51:36,780 --> 00:51:39,000 we're at less than 10 million dollars 802 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,260 quite frankly uh you know it just 803 00:51:43,260 --> 00:51:45,440 doesn't make sense to me at this point 804 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,960 and I would be strongly opposed to a 805 00:51:48,960 --> 00:52:00,609 second round 806 00:52:00,619 --> 00:52:03,839 so again I I didn't look at the city 807 00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:06,660 website but if it says initial I need an 808 00:52:06,660 --> 00:52:08,640 initial being 809 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,059 how we're starting 810 00:52:11,059 --> 00:52:14,040 first does it mean there's a second I 811 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,140 was never in favor of a second round at 812 00:52:16,140 --> 00:52:17,520 all and there's still quite a few 813 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,640 projects that the initial 814 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,460 Grant organizations put in through 815 00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:25,559 grants that I would like to still push 816 00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:26,880 through 817 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,740 um and how fair is it to them 818 00:52:28,740 --> 00:52:31,680 that and we got 76 million dollars in 819 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,839 requests from the first 820 00:52:33,839 --> 00:52:37,380 initial process so now we have like 9.8 821 00:52:37,380 --> 00:52:39,660 million left to spend we open up for a 822 00:52:39,660 --> 00:52:41,880 second round and there's 80 million 823 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,280 dollars worth of I mean 824 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,619 it's over it's done we have our 825 00:52:46,619 --> 00:52:53,589 applications let's move it thank you sir 826 00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:56,880 okay so um I just want to clarify that 827 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,059 the um idea of having applications it 828 00:53:00,059 --> 00:53:01,740 was not like that was not accountable 829 00:53:01,740 --> 00:53:03,000 decision and to see it really is an 830 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,500 accounts decision that's the mayor's 831 00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:07,200 decision because it's his staff that has 832 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,700 to do the work so it's like we can 833 00:53:08,700 --> 00:53:10,980 express our opinions but as you know the 834 00:53:10,980 --> 00:53:12,780 first the idea of doing the tour is the 835 00:53:12,780 --> 00:53:14,339 idea of opening application process and 836 00:53:14,339 --> 00:53:16,800 all that that's something that's an 837 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,900 administrative function in that how this 838 00:53:18,900 --> 00:53:20,280 all happened so 839 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,920 um I just wanted I I I'm the mayor's 840 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,359 going to speak next so 841 00:53:24,359 --> 00:53:25,500 um I just want to keep that in mind 842 00:53:25,500 --> 00:53:28,020 although we have our opinions 843 00:53:28,020 --> 00:53:30,960 um we you know we've staffed us with the 844 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,300 what the mayor direction is and it was 845 00:53:33,300 --> 00:53:34,740 his Direction on this to have an 846 00:53:34,740 --> 00:53:36,780 application process and 847 00:53:36,780 --> 00:53:38,700 um they asked and I would say that I was 848 00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:40,200 really driving the driving force was 849 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:41,700 about the advisory committee which I 850 00:53:41,700 --> 00:53:43,559 still do not think was a bad idea it 851 00:53:43,559 --> 00:53:46,020 didn't work out as well as um had hoped 852 00:53:46,020 --> 00:53:48,540 but people got to give input and I will 853 00:53:48,540 --> 00:53:49,920 never say that that's the wrong thing 854 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,960 for our community to be able to give 855 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,540 input and others who you know where we 856 00:53:54,540 --> 00:53:56,819 get to this table right now 857 00:53:56,819 --> 00:53:58,859 um the seven of us however there were 858 00:53:58,859 --> 00:54:01,079 times when when we were the other people 859 00:54:01,079 --> 00:54:03,240 who were just in the community or or as 860 00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:05,220 we refer to people so 861 00:54:05,220 --> 00:54:07,200 of individuals who don't necessarily sit 862 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,940 with us every day that we we ask people 863 00:54:08,940 --> 00:54:11,280 to sit on commission Etc have input and 864 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,020 valuable input so 865 00:54:13,020 --> 00:54:14,460 um so that part of what I would not ask 866 00:54:14,460 --> 00:54:16,140 if there were a second round which I do 867 00:54:16,140 --> 00:54:18,000 support I would not ask that there'd be 868 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:19,800 an advisory committee um but again that 869 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,720 whether or not those around the 870 00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:28,069 application really that that comes out 871 00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:29,819 that uh 872 00:54:29,819 --> 00:54:31,980 my position at this point is you know 873 00:54:31,980 --> 00:54:33,540 the council has moved through what I 874 00:54:33,540 --> 00:54:35,700 would call an interesting 875 00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:37,280 you have 876 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,960 authorized the expenditure on a number 877 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,119 of projects 878 00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:43,619 were 879 00:54:43,619 --> 00:54:45,300 from the administration side now 880 00:54:45,300 --> 00:54:49,559 starting to put together contracts for 881 00:54:49,559 --> 00:54:53,339 those projects 882 00:54:53,339 --> 00:54:56,160 I am skeptical on some of the 883 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,020 assumptions and some of the numbers that 884 00:54:58,020 --> 00:55:01,980 are in those and where you say there's X 885 00:55:01,980 --> 00:55:04,920 number of dollars left 886 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,020 could very well be true 887 00:55:07,020 --> 00:55:08,960 I'm not sure that it's going to hold up 888 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,780 in what I want is some time to be able 889 00:55:12,780 --> 00:55:15,059 to evaluate those projects move ahead so 890 00:55:15,059 --> 00:55:17,339 that we have better cost estimates to 891 00:55:17,339 --> 00:55:19,859 make sure what the council has done so 892 00:55:19,859 --> 00:55:22,619 far are going to be successful and we're 893 00:55:22,619 --> 00:55:26,510 going to be able to complete it 894 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,099 and I don't have a time on this I'm 895 00:55:29,099 --> 00:55:30,900 going to take this 30 days I can tell 896 00:55:30,900 --> 00:55:33,720 you no it's going to be longer I don't 897 00:55:33,720 --> 00:55:37,380 know how much longer but before we go 898 00:55:37,380 --> 00:55:40,140 off and start to talk about spending 899 00:55:40,140 --> 00:55:42,359 other money I want to make sure we have 900 00:55:42,359 --> 00:55:46,800 money to complete what we've started 901 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,640 and then again be able to use that money 902 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,859 in the manner that will best leverage 903 00:55:52,859 --> 00:55:54,839 the resources within the community so 904 00:55:54,839 --> 00:55:55,980 that 905 00:55:55,980 --> 00:55:58,859 it'll give you some updates 906 00:55:58,859 --> 00:56:01,339 on a regular basis we 907 00:56:01,339 --> 00:56:05,579 the structures look to uh 908 00:56:05,579 --> 00:56:08,579 have kind of a standard component of the 909 00:56:08,579 --> 00:56:10,020 contract and then there will be a 910 00:56:10,020 --> 00:56:12,000 variable 911 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,280 that specific project is and what goals 912 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,619 we're looking for you know some are 913 00:56:16,619 --> 00:56:18,300 conditioned upon other funding there's 914 00:56:18,300 --> 00:56:21,300 always site control uh 915 00:56:21,300 --> 00:56:24,660 there can be major deals and some of 916 00:56:24,660 --> 00:56:26,819 these have not been done before so it's 917 00:56:26,819 --> 00:56:30,000 a little bit complicated and 918 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,000 so at this point 919 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,220 you've given myself and the staff a lot 920 00:56:35,220 --> 00:56:37,319 of work to do 921 00:56:37,319 --> 00:56:39,420 we're looking forward to going ahead 922 00:56:39,420 --> 00:56:41,460 with that and 923 00:56:41,460 --> 00:56:45,119 I'm not in a rush to make commitments on 924 00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:47,099 what is perceived to be money that's 925 00:56:47,099 --> 00:56:50,160 left over at this point 926 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,079 thank you 927 00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:53,880 the last time we discussed this couple 928 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,319 weeks ago there were there were strong 929 00:56:55,319 --> 00:56:56,940 arguments on both sides that we had the 930 00:56:56,940 --> 00:56:59,160 full Council and I was played before I 931 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,119 was on 932 00:57:00,119 --> 00:57:03,559 I mean we received roughly about 70 933 00:57:03,559 --> 00:57:06,599 applications for funding we went through 934 00:57:06,599 --> 00:57:09,180 these applications through the advisory 935 00:57:09,180 --> 00:57:11,940 through our to the council we funded 936 00:57:11,940 --> 00:57:14,460 many of these Community projects and 937 00:57:14,460 --> 00:57:18,660 many of the city projects we are at 938 00:57:18,660 --> 00:57:21,300 roughly 42 million dollars of allocation 939 00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:23,040 already with the balance of about 10 940 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,079 million dollars nine million dollars 941 00:57:25,079 --> 00:57:27,240 remaining 942 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,400 so you know actually mayor we need to 943 00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,380 look at um 944 00:57:31,380 --> 00:57:32,579 there are a couple processes that we 945 00:57:32,579 --> 00:57:33,960 need to look at some people are calling 946 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,119 out the Woodland Park The Grove Park 947 00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:37,859 it's time to Parks those are parts that 948 00:57:37,859 --> 00:57:40,200 we need to address us because these are 949 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,400 parts that 950 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,619 for over a year is have not received any 951 00:57:43,619 --> 00:57:45,480 funding so I think it's wise for us to 952 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,940 allocate so coming here and I would ask 953 00:57:47,940 --> 00:57:49,800 the man this life to look at how 954 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,020 possible we can fund these parts and 955 00:57:52,020 --> 00:57:54,660 some projects out there also for job 956 00:57:54,660 --> 00:57:58,619 retention can I will ask that we if we 957 00:57:58,619 --> 00:58:01,559 can get a more accurate number on the 958 00:58:01,559 --> 00:58:03,660 job retention over the period of time 959 00:58:03,660 --> 00:58:05,460 that was presented to us 960 00:58:05,460 --> 00:58:09,240 uh overall I am not in favor of Us 961 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:10,500 opening up 962 00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:12,960 on our own we have many applications 963 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,819 here let's look at the applications on 964 00:58:14,819 --> 00:58:16,440 in hand 965 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,140 and let's look at them let's look at the 966 00:58:19,140 --> 00:58:21,900 in-house projects that the mayor has 967 00:58:21,900 --> 00:58:25,819 and in terms of that let's try to keep 968 00:58:25,819 --> 00:58:29,220 much of the remaining funding within the 969 00:58:29,220 --> 00:58:31,619 city I think that will overall help us 970 00:58:31,619 --> 00:58:36,829 with the budget 971 00:58:36,839 --> 00:58:40,260 so I think um to the marriage point I I 972 00:58:40,260 --> 00:58:43,200 can definitely get behind um you know us 973 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,240 I think it would be pretty wise for us 974 00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,940 to see exactly um 975 00:58:47,940 --> 00:58:50,640 how the commitments that we've already 976 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,920 made how they're going to flush out and 977 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,900 um and make sure that you know our 978 00:58:54,900 --> 00:58:57,540 numbers are are accurate 979 00:58:57,540 --> 00:58:59,579 um so what you know when if and when we 980 00:58:59,579 --> 00:59:01,020 do um 981 00:59:01,020 --> 00:59:04,559 communicate that to our garden Community 982 00:59:04,559 --> 00:59:06,180 saying hey you know we're going to open 983 00:59:06,180 --> 00:59:08,280 up another applications or not at least 984 00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,900 that you know we know where we stand I 985 00:59:09,900 --> 00:59:11,040 think we need to make an informed 986 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:12,599 decision so I can really appreciate that 987 00:59:12,599 --> 00:59:15,839 so I definitely would support that 988 00:59:15,839 --> 00:59:17,880 um 989 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,400 two things can be true and I think that 990 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,040 we need to know where we're at so we 991 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,540 have solid footing and making informed 992 00:59:24,540 --> 00:59:26,640 decisions going forward and I think that 993 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,900 we also need to make every effort to 994 00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:33,059 honor what we said we were going to do 995 00:59:33,059 --> 00:59:35,220 and honor the expectations of the people 996 00:59:35,220 --> 00:59:36,960 in the community 997 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,760 um and I really appreciate the fact that 998 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,500 this is something that hasn't happened 999 00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:43,200 before and I think that that is really 1000 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,480 uh a good thing and it's a unique 1001 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,040 opportunity 1002 00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,020 um to uh changing material conditions of 1003 00:59:49,020 --> 00:59:50,819 people that are like curiosity so we 1004 00:59:50,819 --> 00:59:52,859 just want to continue to keep that as 1005 00:59:52,859 --> 00:59:53,940 our 1006 00:59:53,940 --> 00:59:55,680 the lens that we're using when we're 1007 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:56,819 thinking about you know what we're going 1008 00:59:56,819 --> 00:59:59,660 to do with this funny movie for it so I 1009 00:59:59,660 --> 01:00:02,220 would say that I'm in favor of what the 1010 01:00:02,220 --> 01:00:05,460 mayor is saying around like let's uh 1011 01:00:05,460 --> 01:00:07,380 give the staff 1012 01:00:07,380 --> 01:00:09,540 um time to kind of look at where we're 1013 01:00:09,540 --> 01:00:12,059 standing now but again I just want to be 1014 01:00:12,059 --> 01:00:13,319 clear that I still think that we should 1015 01:00:13,319 --> 01:00:16,140 find ways to um give all the community 1016 01:00:16,140 --> 01:00:21,190 access to these funds 1017 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,950 thank you 1018 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,640 so is there an agreement to wait until 1019 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,059 the mayor comes back to us with um 1020 01:00:30,059 --> 01:00:32,720 his findings about how we move forward 1021 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,980 is that what I'm sending in the council 1022 01:00:34,980 --> 01:00:35,940 now 1023 01:00:35,940 --> 01:00:37,680 I don't I think that's just the best way 1024 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,660 the best I'm sorry yeah the best 1025 01:00:39,660 --> 01:00:42,059 direction to uh to go in it just makes 1026 01:00:42,059 --> 01:00:44,460 sense and you know mayor and I you did 1027 01:00:44,460 --> 01:00:46,619 mention that in different meanings so it 1028 01:00:46,619 --> 01:00:49,440 makes sense we have to see where we land 1029 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,619 together and again in agreement with the 1030 01:00:52,619 --> 01:00:54,000 mayor and there may be some funds that 1031 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,700 we give back as well with some of the 1032 01:00:56,700 --> 01:00:58,980 money that we doled out to the 1033 01:00:58,980 --> 01:01:00,960 organizations in need who may not be 1034 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,540 able to meet the contingency so there 1035 01:01:03,540 --> 01:01:05,339 may be funding coming back to us so 1036 01:01:05,339 --> 01:01:08,640 let's just give it a break and 1037 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:15,049 take a breath 1038 01:01:15,059 --> 01:01:17,700 so very good just want to I just click 1039 01:01:17,700 --> 01:01:19,020 with me there was an email that was sent 1040 01:01:19,020 --> 01:01:21,720 to us I think it's Friday with regards 1041 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,220 to Poco house wanted to amend their 1042 01:01:25,220 --> 01:01:28,140 application after the fact that they 1043 01:01:28,140 --> 01:01:29,339 were funded 1044 01:01:29,339 --> 01:01:32,880 I think that's very problematic to 1045 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,880 revise or amend an application after the 1046 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,579 funding was already allocated so I think 1047 01:01:38,579 --> 01:01:41,520 that we have to bear in mind that we 1048 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,380 as Council should look at us and not 1049 01:01:43,380 --> 01:01:45,660 support something like that because it's 1050 01:01:45,660 --> 01:01:47,160 if we're going to do that then we have 1051 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,900 to do it for everybody and what are we 1052 01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:51,240 creating and creating problems but after 1053 01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,280 the fact we're changing the application 1054 01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,520 just to avoid contingency 1055 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,020 so I just want to bring that to the 1056 01:01:58,020 --> 01:02:02,390 table for you guys saw a Gmail 1057 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,079 um and we all saw the email and I agree 1058 01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:05,940 that I mean it was really clearly stated 1059 01:02:05,940 --> 01:02:09,119 that we were trying to uh it didn't say 1060 01:02:09,119 --> 01:02:11,460 avoid continuously but at best it did 1061 01:02:11,460 --> 01:02:13,079 say eliminate eliminate was the word to 1062 01:02:13,079 --> 01:02:14,339 you so 1063 01:02:14,339 --> 01:02:15,900 um 1064 01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:17,400 I want to have a conversation with the 1065 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,680 mayor and and development but I don't um 1066 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,140 see that we leave we voted through a 1067 01:02:22,140 --> 01:02:25,079 piece of legislation for it as the 1068 01:02:25,079 --> 01:02:27,599 application was presented to us 1069 01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:31,799 so um now to come back and to say we'd 1070 01:02:31,799 --> 01:02:33,240 like to change that elbow you voted it 1071 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,280 through like this it's different than 1072 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,319 those who came and asked for revisions 1073 01:02:37,319 --> 01:02:39,420 prior to us voting that's very different 1074 01:02:39,420 --> 01:02:41,099 so 1075 01:02:41,099 --> 01:02:41,760 um 1076 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,799 in terms of that to me that that almost 1077 01:02:43,799 --> 01:02:45,780 looks like you need to like come back 1078 01:02:45,780 --> 01:02:46,980 with a whole new application because 1079 01:02:46,980 --> 01:02:49,200 it's it's a very different scope of work 1080 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,780 very very different 1081 01:02:51,780 --> 01:02:55,319 go ahead please total agreement this 1082 01:02:55,319 --> 01:02:57,540 for the field absolutely I feel the same 1083 01:02:57,540 --> 01:02:58,980 way 1084 01:02:58,980 --> 01:03:00,720 and you got a question on that I attend 1085 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:05,390 on that email 1086 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:10,020 a motion to adjourn so second all in 1087 01:03:10,020 --> 01:03:13,190 favor all right 1088 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,920 the next item sorry about your Public 1089 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,680 Safety and the first one item is a 1090 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,900 discussion reducing City speed limit to 1091 01:03:21,900 --> 01:03:25,619 25 miles per hour Miss Patrick yes so we 1092 01:03:25,619 --> 01:03:28,859 had previously uh discussed reducing the 1093 01:03:28,859 --> 01:03:30,900 speed limit to 25 miles per hour the 1094 01:03:30,900 --> 01:03:33,420 council voted to have a letter sent to 1095 01:03:33,420 --> 01:03:35,940 the governor requesting that she signed 1096 01:03:35,940 --> 01:03:37,440 that legislation 1097 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,240 um I think this is back in June that we 1098 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:40,700 had that conversation 1099 01:03:40,700 --> 01:03:44,700 and she did indeed uh right after she 1100 01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:45,980 got the 1101 01:03:45,980 --> 01:03:48,420 alerted the letter and she actually said 1102 01:03:48,420 --> 01:03:52,270 uh to the Schenectady City 1103 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,859 no but in any case she did recently 1104 01:03:55,859 --> 01:03:58,500 assign the legislation which I think 1105 01:03:58,500 --> 01:04:00,839 many people across the state including 1106 01:04:00,839 --> 01:04:03,359 the New York Council of Mayors advocated 1107 01:04:03,359 --> 01:04:04,980 for for that reduction in the speed 1108 01:04:04,980 --> 01:04:07,079 limit so I wanted to bring that 1109 01:04:07,079 --> 01:04:09,299 conversation back to the table I wanted 1110 01:04:09,299 --> 01:04:12,000 to ask the question of staff I wanted to 1111 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,819 hear from Chief Clifford about his 1112 01:04:14,819 --> 01:04:16,380 thoughts about reducing the speed limit 1113 01:04:16,380 --> 01:04:18,480 I was hoping that we could ask him to 1114 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,359 speak to that I also want to raise the 1115 01:04:21,359 --> 01:04:23,280 question I know that we can't just say 1116 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,020 gee we're going to reduce the speed 1117 01:04:25,020 --> 01:04:27,119 limit to 25 there's a lot that would go 1118 01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:30,720 into all of that and so I think that's 1119 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,240 the question for staff as well is what 1120 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,640 would we need to do in order to 1121 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,940 implement the 25 mile per hour a 25 mile 1122 01:04:38,940 --> 01:04:41,819 per hour speed limit so I just wanted to 1123 01:04:41,819 --> 01:04:43,500 make sure that we reopen the discussion 1124 01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:45,480 based on the fact that Governor Hopewell 1125 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,540 did indeed sign the legislation so is 1126 01:04:48,540 --> 01:04:55,809 that why I think you've invited yeah 1127 01:04:55,819 --> 01:04:59,760 so I'm generally in support of of the 25 1128 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,339 mile per hour speed limit 1129 01:05:02,339 --> 01:05:04,559 I think that we're becoming more of a 1130 01:05:04,559 --> 01:05:06,960 pedestrian friendly community 1131 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,940 see many more people riding bicycles out 1132 01:05:08,940 --> 01:05:10,799 there and it's just a lot of General 1133 01:05:10,799 --> 01:05:13,440 activity out on the streets where 1134 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,839 encouraging motorists to drive slower is 1135 01:05:15,839 --> 01:05:18,480 a good idea 1136 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,460 with a 30 mile an hour speed limit I 1137 01:05:20,460 --> 01:05:22,500 think we're seeing those push the limits 1138 01:05:22,500 --> 01:05:24,780 by going seven 10 miles an hour over 1139 01:05:24,780 --> 01:05:26,700 that brings us closer to 40 miles an 1140 01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:27,780 hour 1141 01:05:27,780 --> 01:05:30,059 and even when we write the tickets they 1142 01:05:30,059 --> 01:05:32,280 go through the court system they only 1143 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,260 look like they're seven miles an hour it 1144 01:05:34,260 --> 01:05:37,079 doesn't look as bad as 12 or 15. 1145 01:05:37,079 --> 01:05:39,180 because they are our judges a little bit 1146 01:05:39,180 --> 01:05:40,799 more 1147 01:05:40,799 --> 01:05:41,720 uh 1148 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,000 ability to you know give points to help 1149 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,980 reckless drivers that are going over the 1150 01:05:46,980 --> 01:05:49,200 speed limit a little bit more gives a 1151 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,420 motivation to the driver to drive slower 1152 01:05:51,420 --> 01:05:53,099 knowing that that could be the 1153 01:05:53,099 --> 01:05:54,720 repercussion which is to have points put 1154 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,700 on their license which increases their 1155 01:05:56,700 --> 01:05:58,920 insurance rates 1156 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,440 and you know I live in the city I drive 1157 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,119 around a lot I see a lot of speakers 1158 01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:05,520 that are out there they're out there so 1159 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,200 what I would recommend is if we do do 1160 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:08,579 this we have to have a good public 1161 01:06:08,579 --> 01:06:10,500 relations campaign 1162 01:06:10,500 --> 01:06:12,599 educating drivers that they need to 1163 01:06:12,599 --> 01:06:14,460 reduce their speed maybe tell them why 1164 01:06:14,460 --> 01:06:16,079 it's important to them to reduce their 1165 01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:16,980 speed 1166 01:06:16,980 --> 01:06:18,660 and we'll take a gradual approach to 1167 01:06:18,660 --> 01:06:21,180 enforcement but then once we once we 1168 01:06:21,180 --> 01:06:22,859 decide to start enforcing it we will 1169 01:06:22,859 --> 01:06:27,360 certainly do stuff 1170 01:06:27,370 --> 01:06:31,630 [Music] 1171 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,720 educational system what about the time 1172 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,260 in terms of the resource needed for this 1173 01:06:37,260 --> 01:06:41,809 enforcement if this were to happen 1174 01:06:41,819 --> 01:06:44,160 okay that's that's that's currently like 1175 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:45,780 my biggest challenge with my resources 1176 01:06:45,780 --> 01:06:48,359 having enough officers to do it and but 1177 01:06:48,359 --> 01:06:50,640 I'm hopeful that by the time we actually 1178 01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:52,680 implemented it because I'm a monthly 1179 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:53,880 understanding that some studies would 1180 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,099 need to be done Citywide and then of 1181 01:06:56,099 --> 01:06:57,839 course we have to do all the sign 1182 01:06:57,839 --> 01:06:59,819 changing everything we would have some 1183 01:06:59,819 --> 01:07:02,700 time and by then we'll have the Staffing 1184 01:07:02,700 --> 01:07:04,680 in place be able to do the enforcement 1185 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,079 right I'm currently found one officer in 1186 01:07:07,079 --> 01:07:08,819 My Traffic Division but we haven't 1187 01:07:08,819 --> 01:07:10,380 replaced until we get the ones out of 1188 01:07:10,380 --> 01:07:12,780 the economy but by this time next year 1189 01:07:12,780 --> 01:07:14,700 we will certainly hopefully be fully 1190 01:07:14,700 --> 01:07:16,680 staffed that's my My Hope and that was 1191 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:17,400 the reason why I asked the question 1192 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:18,960 because you're currently you're a stress 1193 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,420 team this will give you more enforcement 1194 01:07:21,420 --> 01:07:25,549 how we're going to carry out 1195 01:07:25,559 --> 01:07:27,900 go ahead that's better 1196 01:07:27,900 --> 01:07:29,460 um actually my question was going to be 1197 01:07:29,460 --> 01:07:31,200 about enforcement because certainly that 1198 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,240 was something that um you know we've 1199 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,760 heard from various residents about that 1200 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,280 concern around enforcement but I think 1201 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,440 also you touched on the idea that 1202 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,359 traffic studies would have to happen as 1203 01:07:42,359 --> 01:07:43,680 well 1204 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,780 um and I think we could speak to that a 1205 01:07:45,780 --> 01:07:47,640 little bit as well that before we would 1206 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,339 move in a direction we'd have to also 1207 01:07:50,339 --> 01:07:53,039 have undergo traffic studies to really 1208 01:07:53,039 --> 01:07:56,539 look at where in particular 1209 01:07:56,539 --> 01:08:00,480 the speeding is happening where is there 1210 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,220 more accidents I mean some of that data 1211 01:08:02,220 --> 01:08:08,230 we already have collected in previous 1212 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,920 I think speak to some of the accident 1213 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,200 areas 1214 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:14,640 um the prevalence of accidents I should 1215 01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,299 say but those studies I'm not sure if 1216 01:08:18,299 --> 01:08:20,640 those are studies that happen through Mr 1217 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,799 glucose on this or 1218 01:08:22,799 --> 01:08:24,080 um 1219 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,940 my understanding is we would get a 1220 01:08:26,940 --> 01:08:30,179 traffic consultant to do that you know 1221 01:08:30,179 --> 01:08:31,799 we can provide them some data that's 1222 01:08:31,799 --> 01:08:35,219 going to require outside 1223 01:08:35,219 --> 01:08:39,349 engineering evaluation 1224 01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:41,580 uh mayor to add to that can be also 1225 01:08:41,580 --> 01:08:43,140 attached when the studies being done on 1226 01:08:43,140 --> 01:08:45,000 the traffic and we attach a cost study 1227 01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,400 in terms of replacing the science and 1228 01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,840 also additional Staffing for enforcement 1229 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,779 [Music] 1230 01:08:51,779 --> 01:08:54,660 yes I think Jen had some numbers for 1231 01:08:54,660 --> 01:08:57,420 design replacement I don't know what the 1232 01:08:57,420 --> 01:08:58,739 chief is 1233 01:08:58,739 --> 01:09:01,020 unfortunately can be a widely variant 1234 01:09:01,020 --> 01:09:04,910 number dependent 1235 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,100 in the staff and again what just what 1236 01:09:08,100 --> 01:09:11,520 the circumstances are in the field 1237 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,980 and is that something that we can easily 1238 01:09:13,980 --> 01:09:15,900 put together over the course of time and 1239 01:09:15,900 --> 01:09:17,880 we come back for presentation 1240 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,400 definitely yeah yeah we would yeah we 1241 01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,080 would look at enforcement from being on 1242 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:23,580 a daily level but then we would also put 1243 01:09:23,580 --> 01:09:26,160 together targeted details in certain 1244 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:27,779 areas not only where the complaints are 1245 01:09:27,779 --> 01:09:30,179 coming from and to be able to have a 1246 01:09:30,179 --> 01:09:32,160 higher concentration and make it be 1247 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:33,960 known to the motors that were out there 1248 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:35,880 enforcing it that's the biggest that's 1249 01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,799 the most important thing we always want 1250 01:09:37,799 --> 01:09:39,719 to try to get voluntary compliance and 1251 01:09:39,719 --> 01:09:42,000 the best way to do that is to be visibly 1252 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,179 enforced unfortunately go ahead sorry my 1253 01:09:45,179 --> 01:09:47,040 question will more towards the man this 1254 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,040 is do you see any way that kind of the 1255 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:51,900 Smart City technology that we've 1256 01:09:51,900 --> 01:09:53,219 installed 1257 01:09:53,219 --> 01:09:55,320 um kind of supporting this as far as the 1258 01:09:55,320 --> 01:10:07,930 studies go 1259 01:10:07,940 --> 01:10:10,080 and that's what someone were trying to 1260 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,420 do is go through that which enhances the 1261 01:10:12,420 --> 01:10:15,780 enforcements you can identify where the 1262 01:10:15,780 --> 01:10:17,520 uh 1263 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,860 the bigger problems are put the 1264 01:10:19,860 --> 01:10:22,320 resources to leverage them in a more 1265 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:25,260 aggressive manner but yes there are ways 1266 01:10:25,260 --> 01:10:31,550 that we can do that uh 1267 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,420 probably should be if you want to do it 1268 01:10:33,420 --> 01:10:35,520 also have a meeting independent of this 1269 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,920 or do a presentation at a committee 1270 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,460 meeting on a more robust 1271 01:10:40,460 --> 01:10:42,719 analysis of all the things that are out 1272 01:10:42,719 --> 01:10:43,920 there things 1273 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,780 that are doing and things that we would 1274 01:10:45,780 --> 01:10:49,130 like to do going forward 1275 01:10:49,140 --> 01:10:51,719 well I will defer I was going to point 1276 01:10:51,719 --> 01:10:52,679 out that 1277 01:10:52,679 --> 01:10:54,960 um Mr Paul many actually had presented 1278 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,239 and I see this as only one component as 1279 01:10:57,239 --> 01:11:00,060 I've stressed over and over again and I 1280 01:11:00,060 --> 01:11:02,640 think that what Mr palmetti presented 1281 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,380 can't remember when a few committee 1282 01:11:04,380 --> 01:11:06,179 meetings ago maybe two months could you 1283 01:11:06,179 --> 01:11:09,080 speak to that a little bit so we 1284 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,040 hopefully you remember 1285 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:12,800 um because I don't 1286 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,719 we did ask for home rule legislation 1287 01:11:15,719 --> 01:11:17,219 from the state 1288 01:11:17,219 --> 01:11:20,400 um the idea was to be able to have the 1289 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,260 ability to use technology like what 1290 01:11:22,260 --> 01:11:24,420 you're talking about with speed cameras 1291 01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:27,239 and so forth to help with the 1292 01:11:27,239 --> 01:11:30,360 enforcement aspect to get in areas where 1293 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,460 let's face it there's only so many 1294 01:11:32,460 --> 01:11:35,159 police officers right so this could also 1295 01:11:35,159 --> 01:11:37,980 help and people know those are there if 1296 01:11:37,980 --> 01:11:39,900 they get tickets they'll definitely know 1297 01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:43,320 they're there and hopefully that will be 1298 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,659 passed by the state and allow us to use 1299 01:11:45,659 --> 01:11:48,960 our technology which we have to try to 1300 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,790 address some of these issues 1301 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,679 any other questions 1302 01:11:54,679 --> 01:11:57,239 this is well it's related to speeding 1303 01:11:57,239 --> 01:11:58,560 but not about reducing the speed limit 1304 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,360 because it sounds like based on what the 1305 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:01,620 Chiefs are saying this is going to be a 1306 01:12:01,620 --> 01:12:02,940 longer and what's being said it's going 1307 01:12:02,940 --> 01:12:04,320 to be a longer process it's not going to 1308 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,600 happen today tomorrow next month 1309 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,480 um but we continually have speeding and 1310 01:12:09,480 --> 01:12:12,659 so we various places have asked for stop 1311 01:12:12,659 --> 01:12:14,400 signs and I know Mrs fulicho says you 1312 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,600 know there'd be traffic studies Etc but 1313 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,159 somebody who sit down the porch on a 1314 01:12:20,159 --> 01:12:21,719 regular basis and sees the speeding 1315 01:12:21,719 --> 01:12:24,780 going on it's a pretty good study and so 1316 01:12:24,780 --> 01:12:27,840 um there's a can we get a car up to the 1317 01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:31,040 president it's not my house 1318 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,239 it's on Becker Street if you want to 1319 01:12:33,239 --> 01:12:34,440 know it's on Becker Street there's an 1320 01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:36,540 entire stretch where there's no lights 1321 01:12:36,540 --> 01:12:38,100 all the way and they just like hit the 1322 01:12:38,100 --> 01:12:39,900 gas and shoot all the way through on 1323 01:12:39,900 --> 01:12:41,760 Console Road apparently that was a 1324 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,320 problem because you've had to stop every 1325 01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,360 I don't even say every other block but I 1326 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,100 think it's pretty much every block so I 1327 01:12:47,100 --> 01:12:48,480 know that there are folks out there who 1328 01:12:48,480 --> 01:12:50,880 really have concerns about that and we 1329 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,739 if we could since it's going to take a 1330 01:12:52,739 --> 01:12:54,780 while for us to get this process done we 1331 01:12:54,780 --> 01:12:57,239 really do need to take something to at 1332 01:12:57,239 --> 01:12:59,699 least break people's speeding you know 1333 01:12:59,699 --> 01:13:01,620 stopping where they have to stop if they 1334 01:13:01,620 --> 01:13:04,199 stop they'll do a rolling stop but I 1335 01:13:04,199 --> 01:13:06,120 think we should really consider if we 1336 01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,120 can putting up more um stop signs people 1337 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,219 are asking for it on a regular basis 1338 01:13:11,219 --> 01:13:16,669 any any updates on the speed homes 1339 01:13:16,679 --> 01:13:19,140 Mr 1340 01:13:19,140 --> 01:13:21,540 Walton is here oh the question Mr 1341 01:13:21,540 --> 01:13:25,990 Walling was okay 1342 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,400 do you want to come up no no you don't 1343 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:30,920 want to tell them 1344 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,540 I think I don't want to but I will any 1345 01:13:33,540 --> 01:13:38,689 status please would appreciate it 1346 01:13:38,699 --> 01:13:42,000 so I met with SPD traffic we determined 1347 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,820 the speed bumps that we like the size 1348 01:13:43,820 --> 01:13:46,219 the style 1349 01:13:46,219 --> 01:13:48,900 they are way more labor intensive than 1350 01:13:48,900 --> 01:13:50,400 we thought we had everything together 1351 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,780 and then we kind of had a pause while we 1352 01:13:54,780 --> 01:13:56,400 went through a transition and purchasing 1353 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,980 we have a new purchasing agent now I 1354 01:13:58,980 --> 01:14:01,620 have new revised quotes and they're 1355 01:14:01,620 --> 01:14:03,719 going to be ordered I mean I know we 1356 01:14:03,719 --> 01:14:05,460 talk about ordering them but I don't 1357 01:14:05,460 --> 01:14:07,199 want to get into in-house business so we 1358 01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:08,760 had issues with purchasing at one point 1359 01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,380 and then we were trying to determine 1360 01:14:10,380 --> 01:14:12,060 some things and two things coincided so 1361 01:14:12,060 --> 01:14:13,620 now we have everything ready we're going 1362 01:14:13,620 --> 01:14:15,179 to be getting them and ordering them on 1363 01:14:15,179 --> 01:14:17,040 the state contract this week we were 1364 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,440 just trying to work out the details of 1365 01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:21,659 them they're they're quite large just so 1366 01:14:21,659 --> 01:14:23,340 everybody knows that was part of what we 1367 01:14:23,340 --> 01:14:25,860 were looking at to make sure the size of 1368 01:14:25,860 --> 01:14:29,280 them there or not uh speed bumps just so 1369 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,300 everybody's wearing these are not 1370 01:14:30,300 --> 01:14:31,739 something that you'll see in a parking 1371 01:14:31,739 --> 01:14:33,600 lot these have to be made to put in 1372 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,560 traffic so a vehicle you know has to 1373 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,080 they're called speed tables so instead 1374 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:41,640 of five feet these are actually going to 1375 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,980 be 14 feet they're put in sections by 1376 01:14:43,980 --> 01:14:46,199 ogs they're actually anchored into the 1377 01:14:46,199 --> 01:14:47,340 drown that was part of the thing that 1378 01:14:47,340 --> 01:14:49,260 we're talking about we also 1379 01:14:49,260 --> 01:14:50,640 um just do a little due diligence 1380 01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,760 because uh John cuccio talked with is 1381 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:55,739 kind of part of Albany after our 1382 01:14:55,739 --> 01:14:57,960 meetings Albany just put a half a 1383 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,960 million dollars into Arbor Hill with 1384 01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,239 what they're calling uh like a test 1385 01:15:03,239 --> 01:15:05,760 program but it is permanent I mean they 1386 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,580 put in permanent speed bumps so we watch 1387 01:15:08,580 --> 01:15:10,320 and I talk with our Paving contractor 1388 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,140 about that and the cost to do it in that 1389 01:15:13,140 --> 01:15:15,840 way uh really outweighed the temporary 1390 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:17,340 ones even with the installation because 1391 01:15:17,340 --> 01:15:20,760 even if we were to temporarily pay uh 1392 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:22,500 like almost put asphalt pumps into there 1393 01:15:22,500 --> 01:15:24,239 every year we'd have to Mill them out 1394 01:15:24,239 --> 01:15:26,460 we'd have to do a lot of work so we 1395 01:15:26,460 --> 01:15:28,020 moved away from them they weren't as 1396 01:15:28,020 --> 01:15:32,040 cost feasible so they are I talked to 1397 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,480 the vendor yesterday uh not yesterday 1398 01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:34,679 they 1399 01:15:34,679 --> 01:15:36,960 talk to them under on Thursday we were 1400 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:38,219 just getting we're going to go with a 1401 01:15:38,219 --> 01:15:40,380 yellow pattern so we're in a good spot 1402 01:15:40,380 --> 01:15:42,000 for them and we don't have them yet but 1403 01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,640 we will have them soon 1404 01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,340 thank you sure go ahead please good 1405 01:15:47,340 --> 01:15:48,960 question would you want to take them off 1406 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,149 for winter yes 1407 01:15:52,159 --> 01:15:54,719 and that's part of it we have permanent 1408 01:15:54,719 --> 01:15:57,000 ones if we do determine locations for 1409 01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,100 permanent I mean there are ways that you 1410 01:15:59,100 --> 01:16:01,020 know you key in the asphalt you end up 1411 01:16:01,020 --> 01:16:03,600 put markers on each side to work plows 1412 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,580 you put the signs that um I mean they 1413 01:16:05,580 --> 01:16:07,440 there are municipalities with the 1414 01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:10,620 permanent speed bumps on roadways so it 1415 01:16:10,620 --> 01:16:12,659 is possible but I think the conversation 1416 01:16:12,659 --> 01:16:15,060 was let's try these see how they affect 1417 01:16:15,060 --> 01:16:17,219 things also I mean not to talk about you 1418 01:16:17,219 --> 01:16:18,540 know your business and things but you 1419 01:16:18,540 --> 01:16:19,679 know we were just meeting with them 1420 01:16:19,679 --> 01:16:23,640 about new signs the new radar signs we 1421 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,380 just had a meeting with that under so 1422 01:16:25,380 --> 01:16:27,179 there are a lot of things that were that 1423 01:16:27,179 --> 01:16:28,500 we're looking at we've got a lot of 1424 01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:31,080 positive feedback about the stop signs 1425 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,900 with the drinking LED lights and I know 1426 01:16:33,900 --> 01:16:35,699 that uh John is actually looking at you 1427 01:16:35,699 --> 01:16:37,260 know if there's other locations that 1428 01:16:37,260 --> 01:16:39,659 would benefit from those so 1429 01:16:39,659 --> 01:16:41,760 you know I think the goal is always to 1430 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,460 have more Tools in your toolbox so maybe 1431 01:16:44,460 --> 01:16:46,620 these will help because enforcement can 1432 01:16:46,620 --> 01:16:50,100 only do so much right so good job thank 1433 01:16:50,100 --> 01:16:54,169 you thank you thank you 1434 01:16:54,179 --> 01:16:56,400 so I don't think we can have it back in 1435 01:16:56,400 --> 01:17:00,729 two weeks 1436 01:17:00,739 --> 01:17:03,900 make sure we were all 1437 01:17:03,900 --> 01:17:08,649 awesome Authority Chief yeah 1438 01:17:08,659 --> 01:17:12,659 okay okay all right oh sorry this is 1439 01:17:12,659 --> 01:17:15,900 just my own curiosity so like so I would 1440 01:17:15,900 --> 01:17:17,340 think that you know we would probably 1441 01:17:17,340 --> 01:17:19,199 prioritize 1442 01:17:19,199 --> 01:17:21,300 um based on whatever data you get and as 1443 01:17:21,300 --> 01:17:23,340 well as products like school players or 1444 01:17:23,340 --> 01:17:25,560 schools and um things like that but I 1445 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,380 would just think do we find and 1446 01:17:28,380 --> 01:17:30,060 course I don't expect you to have a 1447 01:17:30,060 --> 01:17:31,500 perfect answer to this this is really 1448 01:17:31,500 --> 01:17:33,179 just my own curiosity like do we find 1449 01:17:33,179 --> 01:17:35,219 like in areas right now where like 1450 01:17:35,219 --> 01:17:37,320 school zones where there's already a 1451 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,920 reduced uh speed expectation there and 1452 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:42,179 do 1453 01:17:42,179 --> 01:17:46,260 does that work or does you think that 1454 01:17:46,260 --> 01:17:48,120 like overall is that effective I think 1455 01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,400 because I would think that if it is 1456 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:54,000 effective there I mean there are some variables there but it 1457 01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,340 might kind of lend support to the 1458 01:17:56,340 --> 01:17:59,159 for a larger Community as well that's a 1459 01:17:59,159 --> 01:18:00,900 good question if I answer it I probably 1460 01:18:00,900 --> 01:18:02,580 would just be guessing maybe my own 1461 01:18:02,580 --> 01:18:05,159 opinion on it which I think is yes it 1462 01:18:05,159 --> 01:18:06,719 does it does have an effect when people 1463 01:18:06,719 --> 01:18:09,420 know the speed limit's been reduced they 1464 01:18:09,420 --> 01:18:11,760 typically slow down because there's 1465 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,400 always the exceptions to the rules but I 1466 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,960 think that there's a comfort level 1467 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,960 knowing that 30 mile an hour is where 1468 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,000 the limit is and police officers won't 1469 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,520 stop unless you're going five to ten 1470 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,800 miles over in there so yeah a little 37 1471 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,040 I'm fine but if you're 12 over 25 then 1472 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,320 you better slow down because you know 1473 01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,659 something at 25 for the expectations 1474 01:18:33,659 --> 01:18:36,300 maybe they'll do 30. 1475 01:18:36,300 --> 01:18:39,300 if I could just add to them that there 1476 01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:41,100 was research done there are National 1477 01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:42,840 studies that were part of the 1478 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,179 legislation even that the State Assembly 1479 01:18:45,179 --> 01:18:47,699 and Senate sent to Governor Hogle that 1480 01:18:47,699 --> 01:18:51,000 did indicate percentages of if the speed 1481 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,520 was reduced just even that five miles 1482 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,360 down from 30 to 25 they did see 1483 01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,159 um and I can't remember the specifics 1484 01:18:59,159 --> 01:19:01,920 but I can get it for you they did see a 1485 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,140 reduction in speed exactly the way that 1486 01:19:04,140 --> 01:19:06,600 the chief is is indicating not to 1487 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,300 mention that that Five Mile drop in the 1488 01:19:09,300 --> 01:19:12,020 speed limit also 1489 01:19:12,020 --> 01:19:15,239 increased the safety of pedestrians 1490 01:19:15,239 --> 01:19:18,120 um and so that data was included in the 1491 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,460 initial piece of legislation that that 1492 01:19:20,460 --> 01:19:22,080 we had looked at 1493 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,679 um back in June I guess it was so I'll 1494 01:19:25,679 --> 01:19:28,310 try to dig that up and get it out again 1495 01:19:28,310 --> 01:19:31,380 [Music] 1496 01:19:31,380 --> 01:19:34,400 if there's no other question emotions 1497 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:40,810 second all in favor aye thank you thank you 1498 01:19:40,820 --> 01:19:43,679 for government operations we have one 1499 01:19:43,679 --> 01:19:46,800 item on the agenda 1500 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:48,420 discover residency board and as 1501 01:19:48,420 --> 01:19:52,260 president Portugal thank you uh 1502 01:19:52,260 --> 01:19:54,120 of course the legislation 1503 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:54,739 um 1504 01:19:54,739 --> 01:19:57,840 regarding changing the residency 1505 01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,840 requirements and that did fail however 1506 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,600 part of the current resident department 1507 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,880 is that there's a residency board 1508 01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,400 which has to be con which should be 1509 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,020 convenient in order to give people who 1510 01:20:10,020 --> 01:20:13,260 reside outside of the city waivers so um 1511 01:20:13,260 --> 01:20:14,580 that's something that really needs to be 1512 01:20:14,580 --> 01:20:16,320 convened is the mayor it's up to the 1513 01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,840 mayor to convenient it's five members on 1514 01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,940 the board uh the mayor has represented 1515 01:20:20,940 --> 01:20:23,040 him herself or representative issues 1516 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,080 this Corporation Council as well and 1517 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,360 then um three from the council so I'm 1518 01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,940 going to be recommending that we um get 1519 01:20:29,940 --> 01:20:31,860 those members on that board and we keep 1520 01:20:31,860 --> 01:20:33,679 being the board and look at the um 1521 01:20:33,679 --> 01:20:36,900 looking at those individuals who are 1522 01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:39,600 currently working within the city who do 1523 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:41,400 not currently have a waiver 1524 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,400 so just wanted to have that discussion 1525 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:50,270 or just to mention that so 1526 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:54,229 it's a discussion going on 1527 01:20:54,239 --> 01:21:04,010 okay 1528 01:21:04,020 --> 01:21:08,040 I'd like to open uh oh no I like to call 1529 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:09,239 the board of student development and 1530 01:21:09,239 --> 01:21:10,679 planning 1531 01:21:10,679 --> 01:21:12,840 we have nine ends on the agenda 1532 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,239 first item is a 501 State Street license 1533 01:21:15,239 --> 01:21:24,830 agreement for outdoor patio in swallow 1534 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:29,159 uh 501 State Street is a new building 1535 01:21:29,159 --> 01:21:32,040 that is almost done with construction 1536 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,420 and corner of State Street and 1537 01:21:35,420 --> 01:21:39,540 I believe Barrett and Clinton it's on a 1538 01:21:39,540 --> 01:21:42,600 it's a Redburn property one of the 1539 01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,219 tenants the main tenant on the ground 1540 01:21:44,219 --> 01:21:47,940 floor is a restaurant the restaurant is 1541 01:21:47,940 --> 01:21:50,400 going to be owned and operated by the 1542 01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:51,239 nest 1543 01:21:51,239 --> 01:21:53,280 chef and manager they're going to be 1544 01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:54,960 opening a new restaurant into that 1545 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,140 building one of the components that the 1546 01:21:58,140 --> 01:22:00,540 nest features that is a big hit is a 1547 01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:02,520 large outdoor patio that was previously 1548 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:04,980 used by previous restaurants sliding 1549 01:22:04,980 --> 01:22:07,920 dirty they would like to have a similar 1550 01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,620 outdoor space as they believe it really 1551 01:22:10,620 --> 01:22:14,760 energizes the downtown block however all 1552 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,440 of the property out front of the 1553 01:22:16,440 --> 01:22:18,060 building the building is on the property 1554 01:22:18,060 --> 01:22:21,179 line would be city property so we would 1555 01:22:21,179 --> 01:22:23,580 need a license agreement not a revocable 1556 01:22:23,580 --> 01:22:27,600 permit for this patio as it would be a 1557 01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,820 permanent structure permanent in the way 1558 01:22:29,820 --> 01:22:32,159 that to remove it would be a burden on 1559 01:22:32,159 --> 01:22:34,020 everyone they're aware that there are 1560 01:22:34,020 --> 01:22:35,520 some utilities underneath if you are 1561 01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,380 looking to check the condition of those 1562 01:22:37,380 --> 01:22:40,260 utilities but it would be primarily for 1563 01:22:40,260 --> 01:22:42,960 seating for the restaurant and there was 1564 01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:44,159 a 1565 01:22:44,159 --> 01:22:48,300 sketch in your package and this program 1566 01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:51,780 project is supported by Metroplex who is 1567 01:22:51,780 --> 01:23:00,130 working with them on 1568 01:23:00,140 --> 01:23:03,000 so if for some reason they go out of 1569 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,880 business is this going to still be part 1570 01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:07,860 of the structure of that particular 1571 01:23:07,860 --> 01:23:09,960 restaurant so if you know another 1572 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:11,400 restaurant came in they would still be 1573 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,940 able to utilize it so this yes 1574 01:23:13,940 --> 01:23:16,199 so the license agreement will not be 1575 01:23:16,199 --> 01:23:17,640 with the restaurant it will be with the 1576 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,739 building owner okay so it'll be with Red 1577 01:23:19,739 --> 01:23:21,420 Burn not with the restaurant but the 1578 01:23:21,420 --> 01:23:23,280 restaurant as long as I'm utilizing it I 1579 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:26,219 mean this is very similar to The Patio 1580 01:23:26,219 --> 01:23:28,620 before was done with red burn for 1581 01:23:28,620 --> 01:23:31,739 sliding dirty and that business went out 1582 01:23:31,739 --> 01:23:33,719 and this business came in and they 1583 01:23:33,719 --> 01:23:36,000 utilized it so I mean and if we're 1584 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:42,120 talking about adding to so to speak the assets of downtown it would be the 1585 01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:43,440 Internet it's an addition it's not 1586 01:23:43,440 --> 01:23:44,760 something that I would think is a burden 1587 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,239 it's also on half if you were to look so 1588 01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:50,640 even if uh somehow they were to have to 1589 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,800 split it you know we're one side is a 1590 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,120 different retail on the left side is 1591 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,940 this they could they could do that so I 1592 01:23:56,940 --> 01:23:59,280 from from a flexibility standpoint I 1593 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:00,239 think 1594 01:24:00,239 --> 01:24:01,860 most likely always want to be a 1595 01:24:01,860 --> 01:24:03,000 restaurant I don't have many other 1596 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,739 businesses that have a front patio like 1597 01:24:04,739 --> 01:24:07,250 this but 1598 01:24:07,260 --> 01:24:08,580 yes 1599 01:24:08,580 --> 01:24:11,040 um cdka I know there's a big bus stop 1600 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:12,840 right here that's used would they 1601 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,000 relocate their bus stop 1602 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,760 um yeah the bus stop they have taco tdta 1603 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:19,380 and the bus stop would be I don't know 1604 01:24:19,380 --> 01:24:21,239 about relocated or looking but there is 1605 01:24:21,239 --> 01:24:23,580 a we have a very large bus stop at MVP 1606 01:24:23,580 --> 01:24:25,679 and Veterans Park in a bus stop under 1607 01:24:25,679 --> 01:24:28,500 the bridge at State Street so this bus 1608 01:24:28,500 --> 01:24:32,159 stop was seen as not as critical as 1609 01:24:32,159 --> 01:24:33,600 because we have these two large bus 1610 01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:35,760 stops one in a park and one under the 1611 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:37,860 bridge but yeah that's that bus stop 1612 01:24:37,860 --> 01:24:40,219 will not for me 1613 01:24:40,219 --> 01:24:42,800 lots of lots of people 1614 01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,920 move there so yeah so I think the people 1615 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,320 who read the list might think it might 1616 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:50,940 be fun a little inconvenience at that 1617 01:24:50,940 --> 01:24:51,659 moment 1618 01:24:51,659 --> 01:24:54,179 so I don't know if we talk about really 1619

to all the urban areas so they've asked 1660 01:26:23,159 --> 01:26:24,960 that all the participating cities which 1661 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:26,280 have the majority of the bikes 1662 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,440 Schenectady Albany Troy and Saratoga 1663 01:26:28,440 --> 01:26:32,120 have a contribution to the program 1664 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,699 this is a continuation of that it's a 1665 01:26:35,699 --> 01:26:37,199 re-upping of the three-year agreement 1666 01:26:37,199 --> 01:26:42,179 the cost is the same 25 000 a year as a 1667 01:26:42,179 --> 01:26:43,320 benefit we had to put in there because 1668 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,239 not many city employees know about it 1669 01:26:45,239 --> 01:26:46,980 we're going to try to advertise a little 1670 01:26:46,980 --> 01:26:48,659 bit better with Marianne's city 1671 01:26:48,659 --> 01:26:50,820 employees do get an opportunity to use 1672 01:26:50,820 --> 01:26:53,100 the the bikes for free you just have to 1673

bikes 1676 01:26:59,820 --> 01:27:01,679 the benefit of the city being a 1677 01:27:01,679 --> 01:27:02,820 participant 1678 01:27:02,820 --> 01:27:04,500 so 1679 01:27:04,500 --> 01:27:06,480 any questions 1680 01:27:06,480 --> 01:27:10,080 I'll enter the motion so second all's in 1681 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,840 favor aye third on the agenda award 1682 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:14,040 debating contracts for the Washington 1683 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,620 Avenue and State Street Empire Trails 1684 01:27:16,620 --> 01:27:18,780 through calendar Industries 1685 01:27:18,780 --> 01:27:21,600 so this is a really great small project 1686 01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,239 that we're working on as some of you may 1687 01:27:24,239 --> 01:27:27,300 know several years ago we did a 1688 01:27:27,300 --> 01:27:29,940 what was it called a test project on 1689 01:27:29,940 --> 01:27:31,679 Washington Avenue in The Stockade where 1690 01:27:31,679 --> 01:27:33,900 we introduced a counter flow bike lane 1691 01:27:33,900 --> 01:27:36,420 if anyone's familiar with the Empire 1692 01:27:36,420 --> 01:27:38,760 Trail in the city it goes down Union 1693 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,219 Street but when it gets to the South 1694 01:27:41,219 --> 01:27:44,100 Church area because Washington Avenue is 1695 01:27:44,100 --> 01:27:47,400 one way from state to Union a bicycle 1696 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:51,060 cannot legally go down that way so the 1697 01:27:51,060 --> 01:27:53,159 bicycle has to go to South Church Street 1698 01:27:53,159 --> 01:27:56,100 onto State Street in front of what was 1699 01:27:56,100 --> 01:27:58,620 the former YMCA and then on to the path 1700 01:27:58,620 --> 01:28:01,460 so this is a long time coming project 1701 01:28:01,460 --> 01:28:03,600 however when we went out there to 1702 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,040 actually Institute the project we 1703 01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:09,179 noticed that the sidewalks at State and 1704 01:28:09,179 --> 01:28:12,120 Washington were not wide enough to 1705 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,179 accommodate bikes if you were to go over 1706 01:28:15,179 --> 01:28:17,219 the bridge draw your attention to the 1707 01:28:17,219 --> 01:28:18,840 county did a project coming from the 1708 01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,940 community college up when it got to the 1709 01:28:20,940 --> 01:28:23,460 city border the sidewalks go back down 1710 01:28:23,460 --> 01:28:26,699 to five feet so I didn't want to invest 1711 01:28:26,699 --> 01:28:29,219 money to promote bicycles on Washington 1712 01:28:29,219 --> 01:28:32,580 Avenue and leave this roughly 75-foot 1713 01:28:32,580 --> 01:28:35,100 section that was not really compliant so 1714 01:28:35,100 --> 01:28:36,960 we went out and did design worked with 1715 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,840 the dot and we're going to widen the 1716 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:44,219 sidewalk to A Accessible width so it's 1717 01:28:44,219 --> 01:28:46,260 going to be right around 10 feet maybe a 1718 01:28:46,260 --> 01:28:47,699 little bit more in certain areas so that 1719 01:28:47,699 --> 01:28:50,400 now come to the city there is a smooth 1720 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,920 transition from bike plane to bike lane 1721 01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:53,940 and then you're going to be able to 1722 01:28:53,940 --> 01:28:56,219 either ride Washington Avenue one way or 1723 01:28:56,219 --> 01:28:57,960 actually use the counterfold White Lane 1724 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:00,719 and come against traffic it's a little 1725 01:29:00,719 --> 01:29:03,120 unique it will be signed and striking 1726 01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,639 but that is the uh the appropriate way 1727 01:29:05,639 --> 01:29:08,300 to do it and that will kind of just help 1728 01:29:08,300 --> 01:29:11,400 our standing with the bike lane in the 1729 01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,199 area so it's a it's a very small project 1730 01:29:13,199 --> 01:29:14,940 but I really think it is going to be 1731 01:29:14,940 --> 01:29:17,520 appreciated by everyone that uses the 1732 01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:21,290 Empire Trail 1733 01:29:21,300 --> 01:29:22,980 Mr 1734 01:29:22,980 --> 01:29:25,340 um so it was 1735 01:29:25,340 --> 01:29:28,739 349 49 000 and it says that it's going 1736 01:29:28,739 --> 01:29:30,900 to be local funds can you just be a 1737 01:29:30,900 --> 01:29:32,400 little bit more specific sure we're 1738 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:33,900 going to use our borrowed Capital funds 1739 01:29:33,900 --> 01:29:35,639 okay great okay yeah there was a 1740 01:29:35,639 --> 01:29:37,380 misprint in the first one I didn't know 1741 01:29:37,380 --> 01:29:44,219 if you saw a size one but we uh because this is not just a road project 1742 01:29:44,219 --> 01:29:46,380 it's a bike project it's easiest just to 1743 01:29:46,380 --> 01:29:48,900 use our local Capital funds okay not 1744 01:29:48,900 --> 01:29:50,460 just usually we use our chip funding 1745 01:29:50,460 --> 01:29:52,020 when it's just streets 1746 01:29:52,020 --> 01:29:53,460 so that's what we're going to use and we 1747 01:29:53,460 --> 01:29:54,719 have 1748 01:29:54,719 --> 01:29:57,129 um 1749 01:29:57,139 --> 01:29:59,940 was there any input from those so I 1750 01:29:59,940 --> 01:30:01,560 guess there's some Bicycle Club the 1751 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,260 bicycling group that around this being 1752 01:30:04,260 --> 01:30:07,199 you know this 1753 01:30:07,199 --> 01:30:11,040 change or in this Improvement well I 1754 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,800 mean the most vocal that I work with is 1755 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:17,159 Art uh Clayman as always and this is a 1756 01:30:17,159 --> 01:30:19,560 project that he's been asking about for 1757 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,020 years I'm not aware of any other bicycle 1758 01:30:22,020 --> 01:30:23,820 groups that have come out 1759 01:30:23,820 --> 01:30:26,400 um but our you know this was a I thought 1760 01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:27,420 you were going to talk about the stock 1761 01:30:27,420 --> 01:30:29,219 cable we did the test it was something 1762 01:30:29,219 --> 01:30:30,420 where we thought we were going to get a 1763 01:30:30,420 --> 01:30:32,280 lot of Bush family and it actually went 1764 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:34,340 really smoothly we've had a lot of 1765 01:30:34,340 --> 01:30:37,139 positive feedback as

01:30:48,719 --> 01:30:50,639 had done the bike lane and just paved it 1772 01:30:50,639 --> 01:30:52,320 and striped it and said I'm done and 1773 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,360 then turned that 90 degrees and seeing 1774 01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,280 that sidewalk yeah I think I would have 1775 01:30:56,280 --> 01:31:00,480 looked a little bad and I don't I'm not trying to look bad up here I'm

how do we influence 1822 01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:40,380 behavior we also have talked about the 1823 01:32:40,380 --> 01:32:43,080 noise uh the noise issue all of these 1824 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,060 issues that our quality of life issues 1825 01:32:45,060 --> 01:32:46,760 all come back to 1826 01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,560 behavioral types of 1827 01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:51,060 um you know how do we get folks to 1828 01:32:51,060 --> 01:32:52,440 really think about their neighbors how 1829 01:32:52,440 --> 01:32:53,940 do we get folks to think about their own 1830 01:32:53,940 --> 01:32:55,800 behavior so I wanted to start out with 1831 01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,340 that so obviously all of us have 1832 01:32:59,340 --> 01:33:01,860 expressed and talked about the fact that 1833 01:33:01,860 --> 01:33:03,719 you know we have a littering problem 1834 01:33:03,719 --> 01:33:07,440 within the city and so this is one 1835 01:33:07,440 --> 01:33:11,580 attempt at putting forth some ideas and thank you for sending out the plan 1836 01:33:11,580 --> 01:33:14,280 to all the council people what we're 1837 01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:16,500 doing here is giving you this plan so 1838 01:33:16,500 --> 01:33:18,600 that we can get some um feedback back 1839 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:19,760 from everyone 1840 01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:23,580 once again this is not a quick fix this 1841 01:33:23,580 --> 01:33:24,840 is not something that will happen 1842 01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:27,780 tomorrow but we wanted to present it to 1843 01:33:27,780 --> 01:33:28,860 folks 1844 01:33:28,860 --> 01:33:31,760 um and see and see what reactions were 1845 01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,920 basically there's four areas within this 1846 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:37,860 plan the first being on education and 1847 01:33:37,860 --> 01:33:43,669 Outreach 1848 01:33:43,679 --> 01:33:46,380 how do we work with adults but you know 1849 01:33:46,380 --> 01:33:49,260 another aspect of this are Partnerships 1850 01:33:49,260 --> 01:33:51,480 so we think about how do we partner with 1851 01:33:51,480 --> 01:33:52,980 the school district how do we partner 1852 01:33:52,980 --> 01:33:56,340 with businesses around trying to think 1853 01:33:56,340 --> 01:33:58,199 about how we get rid of some of the 1854 01:33:58,199 --> 01:34:01,260 litter issues that are around there's an 1855 01:34:01,260 --> 01:34:03,719 infrastructure component there's four 1856 01:34:03,719 --> 01:34:06,120 components education infrastructure 1857 01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,940 which in our proposal is really looking 1858 01:34:08,940 --> 01:34:13,020 at equipment trash cans you know other 1859 01:34:13,020 --> 01:34:14,520 types of things like that that would 1860 01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:18,020 have to be a part of what we try to do 1861 01:34:18,020 --> 01:34:20,400 and like with the speeding and the 1862 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:24,000 traffic issue another piece are laws and 1863 01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:28,440 enforcement of of those laws in terms of 1864 01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:31,560 trying to clean up the city so 1865 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:32,580 um 1866 01:34:32,580 --> 01:34:34,800 there's a lot of detail in this I hope 1867 01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,120 that you might have had a chance to look 1868 01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:38,460 at it it obviously is for a larger 1869 01:34:38,460 --> 01:34:40,739 discussion I'd like to turn it over to 1870 01:34:40,739 --> 01:34:42,900 news tutorial now to talk a little bit 1871 01:34:42,900 --> 01:34:45,480 more about well no I'm sorry I'd like to 1872 01:34:45,480 --> 01:34:47,159 turn it over to Mr Paul many I'm sorry 1873 01:34:47,159 --> 01:34:49,800 to talk a little bit about the why care 1874 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:52,199 about litter aspect and especially 1875 01:34:52,199 --> 01:34:54,780 because it relates to People's Health 1876 01:34:54,780 --> 01:34:57,900 and and the environment sure certainly 1877 01:34:57,900 --> 01:34:59,460 there's a health and environmental 1878 01:34:59,460 --> 01:35:01,920 component the environmental piece where 1879 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:03,659 we're throwing stuff out our Windows 1880 01:35:03,659 --> 01:35:05,940 whether it's plastic that leeches into 1881 01:35:05,940 --> 01:35:09,000 the ground and eventually gets into our 1882 01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:12,719 rivers oceans even our groundwater we're 1883 01:35:12,719 --> 01:35:15,480 consuming that with the things that we 1884 01:35:15,480 --> 01:35:18,719 eat and drink we don't know the overall 1885 01:35:18,719 --> 01:35:21,300 impacts because they're my new levels 1886 01:35:21,300 --> 01:35:24,480 but what we do know is over time those 1887 01:35:24,480 --> 01:35:27,300 minute levels add up and we also don't 1888 01:35:27,300 --> 01:35:29,639 know the cross-contaminations with other 1889 01:35:29,639 --> 01:35:31,739 things that we're ingesting into our 1890 01:35:31,739 --> 01:35:34,800 body so so we do know some of these 1891 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,860 things are carcinogenic but 1892 01:35:37,860 --> 01:35:40,739 how they impact our overall health is is 1893 01:35:40,739 --> 01:35:42,719 pretty negative and that adds to all our 1894 01:35:42,719 --> 01:35:44,520 costs whether we're talking about health 1895 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:45,920 care insurance 1896 01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:49,739 or any of those type of things beyond 1897 01:35:49,739 --> 01:35:52,320 the human toll of you know losing a 1898 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:55,620 loved one or having someone die at a 1899 01:35:55,620 --> 01:35:56,940 much younger age than they probably 1900 01:35:56,940 --> 01:36:00,120 should have the other aspect of course 1901 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:02,100 is the environment 1902 01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:02,760 um 1903 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:05,480 some of that ties together with 1904 01:36:05,480 --> 01:36:10,380 our fish you know the soil quality our 1905 01:36:10,380 --> 01:36:13,980 water quality and just even small things 1906 01:36:13,980 --> 01:36:16,679 when we introduced a straw thing a while 1907 01:36:16,679 --> 01:36:19,380 ago it didn't pass but small things like 1908 01:36:19,380 --> 01:36:23,580 that add up and the the Plastics break 1909 01:36:23,580 --> 01:36:27,000 down into microplastics and that impacts 1910 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,520 our environment pretty significantly we 1911 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,480 see the impacts on the animals and the 1912 01:36:33,480 --> 01:36:36,960 other Wildlife as well as just the 1913 01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:41,219 plants so there is a big toll here with 1914 01:36:41,219 --> 01:36:44,100 littering Beyond just the 1915 01:36:44,100 --> 01:36:46,280 sight and the smell 1916 01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:49,560 and those are all things that we need to 1917 01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:51,719 take into consideration 1918 01:36:51,719 --> 01:36:54,600 and if I could move to Ms detoro to talk 1919 01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,840 a little bit about the illegal uh 1920 01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,239 the cost of the illegal illegal dumping 1921 01:37:00,239 --> 01:37:03,300 and other litter in the city sure so it 1922 01:37:03,300 --> 01:37:06,840 starts with me I'm very excited about this 1923 01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:10,520 um I do take photos and I do report 1924 01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:14,219 trash on the street multiple areas that 1925 01:37:14,219 --> 01:37:16,679 are multiple that are littered Beyond 1926 01:37:16,679 --> 01:37:19,739 anything I can even pick up so one thing 1927 01:37:19,739 --> 01:37:21,840 that really bothers me is illegal 1928 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:23,219 dumping 1929 01:37:23,219 --> 01:37:25,560 um I've seen it it's not in the city of 1930 01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:27,060 Schenectady but over by the Jewish 1931 01:37:27,060 --> 01:37:29,400 cemetery behind the cross it's actually 1932 01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:31,260 Rotterdam there's about three different 1933 01:37:31,260 --> 01:37:33,840 dump sites there of 1934 01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:38,340 um plasterboard wood it's just it's just 1935 01:37:38,340 --> 01:37:40,320 horrible to even look at so I I have 1936 01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:41,940 called the town of Rotterdam to report 1937 01:37:41,940 --> 01:37:45,239 that at times but the cost it takes my 1938 01:37:45,239 --> 01:37:47,300 cousins live over at Steinmetz park 1939 01:37:47,300 --> 01:37:49,860 across the street on Lenox Road and 1940 01:37:49,860 --> 01:37:52,380 multiple times they actually see people 1941 01:37:52,380 --> 01:37:54,659 backing their trucks up to the pond and 1942 01:37:54,659 --> 01:37:56,340 putting their construction debris in 1943 01:37:56,340 --> 01:37:59,760 there so and it always has been reported 1944 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:01,800 but in order for the city to have to 1945 01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,080 deal with the cost factor involved in 1946 01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,600 this extra Manpower and time going out 1947 01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:08,540 and cleaning up other people's garbage 1948 01:38:08,540 --> 01:38:11,460 and that's something that that we really 1949 01:38:11,460 --> 01:38:14,040 don't want to do so that's another facet 1950 01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,080 of this and just going into the 1951 01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:17,219 infrastructure 1952 01:38:17,219 --> 01:38:18,719 um we heard one of our students here 1953 01:38:18,719 --> 01:38:21,600 today talking about trash cans how 1954 01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,280 they'd like more trash cans so that's 1955 01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:28,550 all involved in this so it's there's 1956 01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:30,719 science and start a structure with but 1957 01:38:30,719 --> 01:38:33,120 it starts with me it should start with 1958 01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:34,620 everyone 1959 01:38:34,620 --> 01:38:35,219 um 1960 01:38:35,219 --> 01:38:37,620 and talk to your neighbors you know take 1961 01:38:37,620 --> 01:38:39,900 them pick it up just pick it up so 1962 01:38:39,900 --> 01:38:41,219 there's all there's a lot of different 1963 01:38:41,219 --> 01:38:43,080 things that are very 1964 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:46,560 important to our community so I was 1965 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:48,719 hoping maybe Mr Farley could share a 1966 01:38:48,719 --> 01:38:52,500 story that he shared once about maybe a 1967 01:38:52,500 --> 01:38:54,420 group of students who brought somewhere 1968 01:38:54,420 --> 01:38:56,820 okay this this this really breaks my 1969 01:38:56,820 --> 01:38:58,920 heart this story and maybe you could 1970 01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:00,380 share that 1971 01:39:00,380 --> 01:39:03,600 so this is uh this is the person time 1972 01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:07,080 ago I was working with a youth group and 1973 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,420 one of the kids in our YouTube Visa love 1974 01:39:09,420 --> 01:39:11,280 to eat sunflower seeds I don't know why 1975 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:13,080 but he just did but we were constantly 1976 01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:15,239 getting on him around picking up his 1977 01:39:15,239 --> 01:39:16,560 garbage 1978 01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:18,300 um and we took you know we would pick 1979 01:39:18,300 --> 01:39:19,620 our kids throughout the county and we 1980 01:39:19,620 --> 01:39:21,540 went to one of our other kids uh houses 1981 01:39:21,540 --> 01:39:23,699 to pick him up and you know in a pretty 1982 01:39:23,699 --> 01:39:26,880 little neighborhood and he the young man 1983 01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:28,860 was eating his sunflower seeds and he 1984 01:39:28,860 --> 01:39:30,960 threw the wrap around the floor 1985 01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:32,580 um and when he threw the wrapper on the 1986 01:39:32,580 --> 01:39:34,500 floor he picked it up 1987 01:39:34,500 --> 01:39:36,420 and that was something really odd for 1988 01:39:36,420 --> 01:39:38,699 him you know to do without you know 1989 01:39:38,699 --> 01:39:41,100 oh it's time to say Hey you know and I 1990 01:39:41,100 --> 01:39:42,900 asked him why he did that 1991 01:39:42,900 --> 01:39:44,639 because I was like God why'd you pick 1992 01:39:44,639 --> 01:39:46,380 that up you know and he said to me he 1993 01:39:46,380 --> 01:39:48,000 said because this doesn't look like the 1994 01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,159 type of place you can throw garbage but 1995 01:39:50,159 --> 01:39:51,840 yet the neighborhood that we picked him 1996 01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:53,520 up from that we dropped him off on you 1997 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:54,960 but they're garbage here so I think that 1998 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:56,159 there's something to be said and I 1999 01:39:56,159 --> 01:39:57,600 appreciate you remembering that that's 2000 01:39:57,600 --> 01:39:59,460 something to be said around like you 2001 01:39:59,460 --> 01:40:01,500 know the messaging that we sent to our 2002 01:40:01,500 --> 01:40:03,659 young people about where they live 2003 01:40:03,659 --> 01:40:06,840 um and and it also demonstrates that if 2004 01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:08,820 you make the right structural changes 2005 01:40:08,820 --> 01:40:10,920 then it will shift Behavior thank you 2006 01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:13,679 that's a great story remember that 2007 01:40:13,679 --> 01:40:16,260 so the rest of these pages and it's a 2008 01:40:16,260 --> 01:40:19,639 10-page document all told really go into 2009 01:40:19,639 --> 01:40:23,340 thoughts and ideas that we had I think 2010 01:40:23,340 --> 01:40:26,159 there's more that could be had there's 2011 01:40:26,159 --> 01:40:27,960 some of these that are 2012 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,199 things that could be implemented uh 2013 01:40:31,199 --> 01:40:32,940 sooner rather than later there are 2014 01:40:32,940 --> 01:40:34,980 things that could that cost money there 2015 01:40:34,980 --> 01:40:36,960 are things that don't cost money so at 2016 01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:38,159 this point 2017 01:40:38,159 --> 01:40:40,139 um you know we just really wanted to 2018 01:40:40,139 --> 01:40:42,179 leave you with all of this again the it 2019 01:40:42,179 --> 01:40:45,719 starts with me I think we'll certainly 2020 01:40:45,719 --> 01:40:48,239 would be lend itself to working with 2021 01:40:48,239 --> 01:40:51,000 youth in terms of having pledges in 2022 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,159 terms of having poster contests in terms 2023 01:40:53,159 --> 01:40:56,159 of you know the of course cleanups like 2024 01:40:56,159 --> 01:40:58,760 we've done at solar and other places 2025 01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,139 there's also a section in here however 2026 01:41:01,139 --> 01:41:02,880 that talks about the Partnerships with 2027 01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,400 businesses and there's it starts with me 2028 01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:07,679 pledged there where we'd be trying to 2029 01:41:07,679 --> 01:41:09,360 get businesses to think about you know 2030 01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:12,320 having appropriate trash receptacles 2031 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,360 appropriate cigarette butt 2032 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:18,239 um those those devices that dsic for 2033 01:41:18,239 --> 01:41:21,199 example does put around downtown 2034 01:41:21,199 --> 01:41:24,300 the the infrastructure section has ideas 2035 01:41:24,300 --> 01:41:28,080 on various equipment from ones that are 2036 01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,139 individually held like a backpack almost 2037 01:41:31,139 --> 01:41:34,920 it's like a vacuum to you know more you 2038 01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:37,560 know kind of driving apparatus that that 2039 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:39,719 can be used to help with the with the 2040 01:41:39,719 --> 01:41:42,960 litter so at this point unless 2041 01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:45,360 um Ms detour or Mr Paul anyone add 2042 01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,639 anything else to this to what we are 2043 01:41:47,639 --> 01:41:50,400 presenting I think we you know we're 2044 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,139 looking for feedback we're looking for 2045 01:41:52,139 --> 01:41:54,420 your thoughts on when you get a chance 2046 01:41:54,420 --> 01:41:55,980 to look at this if we haven't already 2047 01:41:55,980 --> 01:41:57,960 you have to say that it starts with me 2048 01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,540 is already an existing program within 2049 01:42:00,540 --> 01:42:04,320 the city it's just tweaking it and 2050 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,659 putting together a fairly comprehensive 2051 01:42:06,659 --> 01:42:10,159 we're looking at legislative judicial 2052 01:42:10,159 --> 01:42:12,320 executive branch 2053 01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:17,420 pieces tied in with community and 2054 01:42:17,420 --> 01:42:20,639 not-for-profit and education and the 2055 01:42:20,639 --> 01:42:22,139 school district and putting it all 2056 01:42:22,139 --> 01:42:25,980 together to try to get everybody moving 2057 01:42:25,980 --> 01:42:28,920 towards that goal of less trash in the 2058 01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:34,310 streets and improving our neighborhoods 2059 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:35,699 so 2060 01:42:35,699 --> 01:42:38,040 yeah something Just For Us online a 2061 01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,199 couple years ago we passed at an Amanda 2062 01:42:40,199 --> 01:42:44,639 city has a good regards so a letter and 2063 01:42:44,639 --> 01:42:46,080 it was supposed to be enforced by the 2064 01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,119 police department we had some issues 2065 01:42:48,119 --> 01:42:50,400 with ticketing process and we were 2066 01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:52,500 supposed to cooperation Council were 2067 01:42:52,500 --> 01:42:54,960 supposed to look at cultural Amanda 2068 01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,199 revise the ticketing processary 2069 01:42:58,199 --> 01:43:01,020 and I think because palominium I was on 2070 01:43:01,020 --> 01:43:03,320 that driving force in that 2071 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:06,540 we are already how different is that to 2072 01:43:06,540 --> 01:43:09,239 what is being presented today and can we 2073 01:43:09,239 --> 01:43:12,000 work with Corporation Council to to look 2074 01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,980 at something that was outstanding there 2075 01:43:13,980 --> 01:43:16,560 to a man that ticketing process and RPD 2076 01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,179 can go there and issue these uh 2077 01:43:18,179 --> 01:43:22,320 citations so yes you're 100 right what 2078 01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,540 happened was 2079 01:43:24,540 --> 01:43:26,880 um Corporation Council at the time 2080 01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:30,600 Mr Golden I was working with the court 2081 01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,500 system to create a ticket that was more 2082 01:43:34,500 --> 01:43:36,600 of a summons type thing where it was 2083 01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,780 very quick in comparison to a full-blown 2084 01:43:39,780 --> 01:43:43,380 ticket to to give out 2085 01:43:43,380 --> 01:43:44,219 um 2086 01:43:44,219 --> 01:43:47,040 he worked with the court system to try 2087 01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:50,880 to produce this the judges ended up 2088 01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,020 throwing these tickets out in large mass 2089 01:43:54,020 --> 01:43:55,580 unfortunately 2090 01:43:55,580 --> 01:44:01,199 I think Mr Colden is aware of this and I 2091 01:44:01,199 --> 01:44:04,619 think he will be working trying to 2092 01:44:04,619 --> 01:44:06,420 figure out some way of moving this 2093 01:44:06,420 --> 01:44:09,719 forward to make it more effective and 2094 01:44:09,719 --> 01:44:11,820 something that the judges won't throw 2095 01:44:11,820 --> 01:44:14,820 out and I think a benefit too is having 2096 01:44:14,820 --> 01:44:18,300 commissioner Devine on staff a former 2097 01:44:18,300 --> 01:44:19,520 judge 2098 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:23,159 I think that would be beneficial too 2099 01:44:23,159 --> 01:44:24,719 I think that that's something that we 2100 01:44:24,719 --> 01:44:25,739 need to look at because that's something 2101 01:44:25,739 --> 01:44:28,139 I'm going to book our books already so 2102 01:44:28,139 --> 01:44:30,840 we should work um amending it and 2103 01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,820 enforcing it rather than adding more on 2104 01:44:32,820 --> 01:44:35,159 top of it and this might complement that 2105 01:44:35,159 --> 01:44:37,199 we already have there so I think we 2106 01:44:37,199 --> 01:44:39,239 don't want to just recreate more at the 2107 01:44:39,239 --> 01:44:41,580 same time when we just need to have a 2108 01:44:41,580 --> 01:44:43,920 mystical ninjas follow up on that and 2109 01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:46,020 see what is needed 2110 01:44:46,020 --> 01:44:49,020 to move forward with that page eight I 2111 01:44:49,020 --> 01:44:52,080 think is where um that something similar 2112 01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:53,880 to that is addressed on a couple of 2113 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,860 bullet points on page eight of our of 2114 01:44:55,860 --> 01:44:57,179 our 2115 01:44:57,179 --> 01:44:59,400 proposal so I don't know if it's exactly 2116 01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:01,580 the same as what you had talked about 2117 01:45:01,580 --> 01:45:04,219 previously yeah um 2118 01:45:04,219 --> 01:45:06,600 back and forth about cooperation Council 2119 01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:08,760 on the police department in terms of how 2120 01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:10,920 we can able to address that and this was 2121 01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:12,659 a couple years ago and nothing ever 2122 01:45:12,659 --> 01:45:16,380 happened to the end and the um the other 2123 01:45:16,380 --> 01:45:19,320 aspect though is not really creating 2124 01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:22,500 another enforcement piece it's just all 2125 01:45:22,500 --> 01:45:24,659 different components of how we can 2126 01:45:24,659 --> 01:45:27,480 address litter and try to get people to 2127 01:45:27,480 --> 01:45:29,719 change their behavior yes there's a 2128 01:45:29,719 --> 01:45:32,760 section that is enforcement and to your 2129 01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:34,400 point with that ticket 2130 01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:37,199 process that's kind of what's in here 2131 01:45:37,199 --> 01:45:40,080 but there's some other things like are 2132 01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,560 we charging too much for a ticket or not 2133 01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:45,659 enough you know those are things that we 2134 01:45:45,659 --> 01:45:48,420 kind of need to look at to miss the 2135 01:45:48,420 --> 01:45:51,480 Toro's point of the illegal dumping 2136 01:45:51,480 --> 01:45:53,520 um you know it's something that maybe we 2137 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:57,719 want to look at the fine for 2138 01:45:57,719 --> 01:46:00,360 make it a 2139 01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,580 more costly to do those kind of things 2140 01:46:02,580 --> 01:46:05,639 but maybe it's already too expensive so 2141 01:46:05,639 --> 01:46:07,980 we need to look at those things and and 2142 01:46:07,980 --> 01:46:10,500 try to address them 2143 01:46:10,500 --> 01:46:15,239 so um I know that this it starts with me with 2144 01:46:15,239 --> 01:46:16,440 something that the mayor implemented 2145 01:46:16,440 --> 01:46:17,880 several years to get started this 2146 01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,699 several years ago so as Mr palamine says 2147 01:46:20,699 --> 01:46:22,380 this is is something that is organ 2148 01:46:22,380 --> 01:46:24,600 resistance 2149 01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:27,780 um I didn't so I have a question 2150 01:46:27,780 --> 01:46:30,239 I know that we uh Mr O'Hearn Charlie 2151 01:46:30,239 --> 01:46:32,040 O'Hearn has been the person who's been 2152 01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,980 kind of take care of the litter as a 2153 01:46:34,980 --> 01:46:37,739 one-man the volunteers so I wanted to 2154 01:46:37,739 --> 01:46:40,139 know is is there some input from him in 2155 01:46:40,139 --> 01:46:41,280 here 2156 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,100 um and also have the consultant Mr 2157 01:46:44,100 --> 01:46:47,219 um Mr lafon regarding this and 2158 01:46:47,219 --> 01:46:48,719 additionally I don't know if you want to 2159 01:46:48,719 --> 01:46:50,699 speak to the whole garbage part of it um 2160 01:46:50,699 --> 01:46:52,080 or if you're ready for that discussion 2161 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,480 and how it's mentioned in here that how 2162 01:46:54,480 --> 01:46:58,139 garbage that people don't properly 2163 01:46:58,139 --> 01:46:58,860 um 2164 01:46:58,860 --> 01:47:01,679 tie up and all that adds to the litter 2165 01:47:01,679 --> 01:47:04,139 but so I just want to make sure that the 2166 01:47:04,139 --> 01:47:06,119 with whatever work that 2167 01:47:06,119 --> 01:47:09,239 being done here is also making sure that 2168 01:47:09,239 --> 01:47:11,040 this works in the plants that the city 2169 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:13,679 has underway are going to be a part of 2170 01:47:13,679 --> 01:47:17,460 that process and we have um had meetings 2171 01:47:17,460 --> 01:47:19,500 that Mr 2172 01:47:19,500 --> 01:47:22,860 turn was a part of this and I actually 2173 01:47:22,860 --> 01:47:25,800 can't speak to the whether Mr Lafond has 2174 01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:27,420 been I don't think that that we have 2175 01:47:27,420 --> 01:47:34,129 talked to Ms still upon so that's a good point 2176 01:47:34,139 --> 01:47:39,080 I think so in here is a part about 2177 01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,060 our trash 2178 01:47:42,060 --> 01:47:45,239 people who throw the bags on you know 2179 01:47:45,239 --> 01:47:47,400 because the bags aren't tied proper and 2180 01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:49,619 just making sure that that the city 2181 01:47:49,619 --> 01:47:51,960 staff cleans up the messes that they 2182 01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:53,940 make so that's all incorporated into 2183 01:47:53,940 --> 01:47:56,760 here as well so I do hear that complaint 2184 01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:04,980 a lot from people but again their job is Non-Stop and it's moving so yeah and 2185 01:48:04,980 --> 01:48:08,040 to that point if we're going to as this 2186 01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:09,540 moves along I think that the city staff 2187 01:48:09,540 --> 01:48:11,100 is another we should be speaking to 2188 01:48:11,100 --> 01:48:12,719 directly because there aren't people on 2189 01:48:12,719 --> 01:48:14,040 the ground every day picking up trash 2190 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:17,219 when we decided to install additional 2191 01:48:17,219 --> 01:48:19,679 trash cans through um to show love where 2192 01:48:19,679 --> 01:48:21,239 you live initiative I actually met with 2193 01:48:21,239 --> 01:48:22,980 them asked them about the size the 2194 01:48:22,980 --> 01:48:25,860 weight all of that and also to get their 2195 01:48:25,860 --> 01:48:27,420 input and also let them know that 2196 01:48:27,420 --> 01:48:28,980 there's going to be more trash cans for 2197 01:48:28,980 --> 01:48:30,239 you to pick up right you know because 2198 01:48:30,239 --> 01:48:31,980 that was important so I I think the 2199 01:48:31,980 --> 01:48:34,619 people who are do this work every single 2200 01:48:34,619 --> 01:48:37,460 day should not only be informed but 2201 01:48:37,460 --> 01:48:40,380 included making sure that they you know 2202 01:48:40,380 --> 01:48:42,239 that the plan is a plan that works for 2203 01:48:42,239 --> 01:48:44,699 everybody that's a really good point 2204 01:48:44,699 --> 01:48:51,189 absolutely 2205 01:48:51,199 --> 01:48:53,100 the 2206 01:48:53,100 --> 01:48:54,840 you know it seems simple to just get 2207 01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:57,719 people to do the basic things but it's a 2208 01:48:57,719 --> 01:49:00,119 far more complex 2209 01:49:00,119 --> 01:49:03,060 and it's much like the speeding it's how 2210 01:49:03,060 --> 01:49:06,320 do you educate people how do you get a 2211 01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,320 shift in the social Norm where people 2212 01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:12,360 modify their behavior a little bit so I 2213 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,119 think this is all good 2214 01:49:14,119 --> 01:49:17,060 it's an ongoing process 2215 01:49:17,060 --> 01:49:19,500 you can look to continue to have 2216 01:49:19,500 --> 01:49:21,540 discussions how do we implement it how 2217 01:49:21,540 --> 01:49:23,699 do we actually get people to play by the 2218 01:49:23,699 --> 01:49:25,860 rules 2219 01:49:25,860 --> 01:49:28,080 any further discussion I guess at this 2220 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:29,880 point I would just ask that if folks 2221 01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:32,520 would take a look at it um and give us 2222 01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:35,219 some feedback and I think your comments 2223 01:49:35,219 --> 01:49:36,780 in terms of obviously 2224 01:49:36,780 --> 01:49:38,760 um 2225 01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:40,560 talking to other folks boots on the 2226 01:49:40,560 --> 01:49:42,780 ground uh those are those are very good 2227 01:49:42,780 --> 01:49:44,100 suggestions 2228 01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:46,199 Mr Farley yeah I would just add that 2229 01:49:46,199 --> 01:49:48,300 what I really like about Laura Sawyer is 2230 01:49:48,300 --> 01:49:49,619 that there's different components on 2231 01:49:49,619 --> 01:49:52,880 here so and really the components can 2232 01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,100 operate independently if need be right 2233 01:49:56,100 --> 01:49:57,780 so like if we like as far as law 2234 01:49:57,780 --> 01:49:59,340 enforcement if there's some other 2235 01:49:59,340 --> 01:50:01,020 considerations that have to be made and 2236 01:50:01,020 --> 01:50:02,460 you know there might be some red tape 2237 01:50:02,460 --> 01:50:04,199 there you know there's still that 2238 01:50:04,199 --> 01:50:05,699 educational component there's still 2239 01:50:05,699 --> 01:50:07,320 there's you know there's some signage 2240 01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:09,300 and things that can you know kind of 2241 01:50:09,300 --> 01:50:12,000 lend itself up so they you know work 2242 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:13,619 interopectively that way but they can 2243 01:50:13,619 --> 01:50:15,540 operate independently as we problem 2244 01:50:15,540 --> 01:50:17,219 shoot through a 2245 01:50:17,219 --> 01:50:19,080 so I appreciated that 2246 01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:22,739 any further discussion 2247 01:50:22,739 --> 01:50:25,400 okay thank you for bringing that forward 2248

executive session in 2251 01:50:33,179 --> 01:50:35,460 the same motion uh make the questions go 2252 01:50:35,460 --> 01:50:37,679 to Executive questions thank you all in 2253 01:50:37,679 -->
