you know beneficial for the older adults

160
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,140

161
00:53:28,140 --> 00:53:31,619
types of activities for uh not only just

162
00:53:31,619 --> 00:53:33,660
physical activities but brain engagement

163
00:53:33,660 --> 00:53:36,000
if you will trivia really trying to keep

164
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,260
the folks because we know social

165
00:53:37,260 --> 00:53:39,359
isolation has been so challenging and

166
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:41,880
folks have gotten used to being home and

167
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,859
are kind of content so we want folks to

168
00:53:43,859 --> 00:53:45,839
get back out have a meal socialize

169
00:53:45,839 --> 00:53:48,960
engage in some activities and have the

170
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,220
opportunity to do that in three

171
00:53:50,220 --> 00:53:52,980
different sites each week

172
00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:54,359
and this is

173
00:53:54,359 --> 00:53:57,059
kind of compliment what has been set up

174
00:53:57,059 --> 00:53:58,980
at the Hibernian so I'm approaching with

175
00:53:58,980 --> 00:54:01,980
some of an open mind where we'll have to

176
00:54:01,980 --> 00:54:03,540
see what the actual level of

177
00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:06,980
participation is and

178
00:54:06,980 --> 00:54:10,740
what the client mixes so that you know

179
00:54:10,740 --> 00:54:13,640
could vary depending on who

180
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:18,420
Catholic Family Beauty Services has done

181
00:54:18,420 --> 00:54:21,079
this number of levels and has the

182
00:54:21,079 --> 00:54:24,720
flexibility I think to kind of handle

183
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:27,660
whatever May evolve here so that it'll

184
00:54:27,660 --> 00:54:30,599
benefit the people and you know reflect

185
00:54:30,599 --> 00:54:32,700
well on the money that the council has

186
00:54:32,700 --> 00:54:34,579
invested in this and

187
00:54:34,579 --> 00:54:37,260
can create opportunities within those

188
00:54:37,260 --> 00:54:40,920

00:54:49,319 --> 00:54:50,400
Crossings

194
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,859
and in um

195
00:54:52,859 --> 00:54:55,440
Goose Hill it's the um or do I have this

196
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,140
back no the steinmets steinmet's

197
00:54:58,140 --> 00:55:01,690
community park community room okay

198
00:55:01,690 --> 00:55:03,480
[Music]

199
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,549
other questions

200
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:08,339
since you're here would you mind just

201
00:55:08,339 --> 00:55:10,260
expanding on your long-term teams with

202
00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:12,599
the project and how you see this kind of

203
00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:14,339
functioning in the city of Schenectady

204
00:55:14,339 --> 00:55:17,099
sure so Catholic Charities as a whole

205
00:55:17,099 --> 00:55:18,300
has been doing these types of

206
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:20,220
programmings for over 40 years in

207
00:55:20,220 --> 00:55:22,079
Schenectady County so we operate within

208
00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:24,359
a contract with the county four other

209
00:55:24,359 --> 00:55:25,920
congregate site so that's kind of what

210
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,839
we see long term for this and being able

211
00:55:27,839 --> 00:55:29,940
to partner with the city and not only

212
00:55:29,940 --> 00:55:31,619
have it at these sites but other

213
00:55:31,619 --> 00:55:34,260
locations again having the opportunities

214
00:55:34,260 --> 00:55:36,720
to have places where older adults can

215
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:39,240
come out and engage with each other and

216
00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:42,359
have socialization in meals so my goal

217
00:55:42,359 --> 00:55:43,980
is always to bring more and more and

218
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:45,660
more out into the community where the

219
00:55:45,660 --> 00:55:47,339
people are where the needs are we

220
00:55:47,339 --> 00:55:49,740
envision the first uh probably you know

221
00:55:49,740 --> 00:55:51,300
four or five months spending some time

222
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:52,680
talking with the folks that are coming

223
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,240
out to these sites and really kind of

224
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:55,980
looking at it as what what do they see

225
00:55:55,980 --> 00:55:57,540
as their needs what else would they like

226
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:59,339
to see where else would they like to see

227
00:55:59,339 --> 00:56:01,800
this some other types of things so we as

228
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,960
an agency our mission is to bring the

229
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,579
services out to hopes in the community

230
00:56:05,579 --> 00:56:08,160
we're they're at so we offer other types

231
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,079
of programming so I guess that's another

232
00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:12,480
Advantage we do have other programs that

233
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,099
can benefit the older adults that come

234
00:56:14,099 --> 00:56:16,380
there too we can make referrals for a

235
00:56:16,380 --> 00:56:18,119
lot of Need for case management really

236
00:56:18,119 --> 00:56:19,500
trying to help to connect with health

237
00:56:19,500 --> 00:56:22,380
insurance information and counseling and

238
00:56:22,380 --> 00:56:24,480
caregiver support things so we can get

239
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,720
folks connected that need that so my

240
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:29,940
goal is to be able to expand the types

241
00:56:29,940 --> 00:56:31,680
of services and the types of sites that

242
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,740
we do for the older adults in the in the

243
00:56:34,740 --> 00:56:37,190
county

244
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,000
support them so what does your Staffing

245
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,280
look like and each of these okay at each

246
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,020
site we will have a staff person at each

247
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:44,359
site each day

248
00:56:44,359 --> 00:56:46,980
initially we have staff person right now

249
00:56:46,980 --> 00:56:48,780
who we're able to pull some of her hours

250
00:56:48,780 --> 00:56:50,579
from her full-time position to be on

251
00:56:50,579 --> 00:56:52,319
site to do that we have a program

252
00:56:52,319 --> 00:56:54,960
director who oversees the program who

253
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,480
will also be on site for as long as it

254
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,339
takes until we kind of work out some of

255
00:56:59,339 --> 00:57:01,079
the Kinks and get it running smoothly

256
00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:03,300
the goal is to hire a person

257
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:06,059
specifically for this program once we

258
00:57:06,059 --> 00:57:07,619
get flowing and we kind of see how it's

259
00:57:07,619 --> 00:57:09,839
going to work so that's what we're able

260
00:57:09,839 --> 00:57:11,819
to do right now is to have the the staff

261
00:57:11,819 --> 00:57:14,760
that we have on board the food for the

262
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:15,859
sites at

263
00:57:15,859 --> 00:57:18,859
Steinmetz community park and

264
00:57:18,859 --> 00:57:21,119
Hillside Crossings is going to be coming

265
00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:22,500
through a vendor we already have a

266
00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:24,720
contract with so we already pick up food

267
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,400
at the McClellan Campus of Ellis

268
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,200
Hospital so we have the staff person on

269
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,640
board who already has the we have the

270
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:30,839
vehicle and the equipment and everything

271
00:57:30,839 --> 00:57:32,940
that we need to go and get the food

272
00:57:32,940 --> 00:57:35,339
bring it over to the sites and then the

273
00:57:35,339 --> 00:57:38,400
staff person there will will be able to

274
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:39,480
receive it and start the program

275
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,400
obviously we'd be looking for volunteers

276
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,200
to help support the staff person there

277
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:44,700
as well and depending on the number of

278
00:57:44,700 --> 00:57:46,740
people at a site it'll get a little bit

279
00:57:46,740 --> 00:57:49,500
more challenging with one person but we

280
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:51,119
do utilize volunteers and a lot of other

281
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:53,700
capacities in the agency as well

282
00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:58,859
so you mentioned 2022 and 2023 so 2022

283
00:57:58,859 --> 00:58:01,740
is like we're almost done right so 2023

284
00:58:01,740 --> 00:58:03,720
do have an average of what the cost is

285
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:05,819
going to be for um

286
00:58:05,819 --> 00:58:07,740
provide the service we put a budget

287
00:58:07,740 --> 00:58:09,780
together for 2023 and I think that we

288
00:58:09,780 --> 00:58:13,079
came in and right around 50

289
00:58:13,079 --> 00:58:15,780
000 was the budget

290
00:58:15,780 --> 00:58:17,839
foreign

291
00:58:17,839 --> 00:58:21,300
thank you thank you yes I just want to

292
00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:23,940
say that I'm very thankful about it

293
00:58:23,940 --> 00:58:25,020
because I think it's going to be an

294
00:58:25,020 --> 00:58:26,819
amazing program

295
00:58:26,819 --> 00:58:28,500
um and the fact that the city of

296
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:30,780
Schenectady is going to be supporting

297
00:58:30,780 --> 00:58:34,140
um both this idea of allowing active

298
00:58:34,140 --> 00:58:36,000
older adults to come together I don't

299
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,920
like to use the word Senior come

300
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,859
together for both the socialization as

301
00:58:40,859 --> 00:58:44,819
well as a pot nutritious meal now five

302
00:58:44,819 --> 00:58:46,619
days a week

303
00:58:46,619 --> 00:58:48,960
um so none of it is conflicting with the

304
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,400
program that it's already been

305
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,099
successful and ongoing hybridians but

306
00:58:53,099 --> 00:58:55,740
now it's every single day of the week in

307
00:58:55,740 --> 00:58:57,359
the city of Schenectady there's going to

308
00:58:57,359 --> 00:59:00,059
be an opportunity for seniors to come

309
00:59:00,059 --> 00:59:02,040
together so it's you know really

310
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,440
groundbreaking and and we're very you

311
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,660
know I'm very excited about it so I

312
00:59:06,660 --> 00:59:10,849
appreciate the partnership

313
00:59:10,859 --> 00:59:22,210
thank you thank you

314
00:59:22,220 --> 00:59:25,559
health and Recreation yes a motion to

315
00:59:25,559 --> 00:59:32,210
move this sorry I'll move it okay second

316
00:59:32,220 --> 00:59:36,480
chance okay all right all in favor

317
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,280
aye any opposed

318
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,220
okay thank you that's great

319
00:59:41,220 --> 00:59:44,040
um next is the alternate floor where

320
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,599
this is called many to talk about the

321
00:59:45,599 --> 00:59:48,780
environmental piece so this is a uh

322
00:59:48,780 --> 00:59:51,140
something that the state is considering

323
00:59:51,140 --> 00:59:55,460
I'm just a resolution to support it it's

324
00:59:55,460 --> 00:59:58,559
largely an environmental aspect you have

325
00:59:58,559 --> 01:00:00,059
a

326
01:00:00,059 --> 01:00:04,799
overview that's quite extensive but the

327
01:00:04,799 --> 01:00:07,740
idea is to reduce carbon emissions and

328
01:00:07,740 --> 01:00:09,680
greenhouse gas emissions

329
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,660
considerably that's going to be done

330
01:00:12,660 --> 01:00:16,260
largely going to electricity but there

331
01:00:16,260 --> 01:00:21,059
is a a major component that can impact

332
01:00:21,059 --> 01:00:23,780
our residents beyond the environment

333
01:00:23,780 --> 01:00:26,940
the board of authority the port of

334
01:00:26,940 --> 01:00:31,799
Albany is part of this program where the

335
01:00:31,799 --> 01:00:34,559
state is looking to really establish

336
01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:38,160
wind energy across the state that's part

337
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:43,619
of reducing the emissions and it's a

338
01:00:43,619 --> 01:00:45,140
substantial

339
01:00:45,140 --> 01:00:47,339
investment into the court of Albany

340
01:00:47,339 --> 01:00:49,799
they're going to need a number of people

341
01:00:49,799 --> 01:00:51,619
to work there

342
01:00:51,619 --> 01:00:54,000
hopefully some of our residents will get

343
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,119
that job get those jobs

344
01:00:56,119 --> 01:00:59,700
and bring some of that money to their

345
01:00:59,700 --> 01:01:01,980
households but largely it's an

346
01:01:01,980 --> 01:01:04,760
environmental piece of reducing

347
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:08,900
emissions and looking to ship away from

348
01:01:08,900 --> 01:01:14,030
fossil fuels towards electrical

349
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,569
any discussion on this

350
01:01:17,579 --> 01:01:19,680
and Mr Paul many I think you're asking

351
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,220
for the council support in supporting

352
01:01:23,220 --> 01:01:26,040

01:01:48,420 --> 01:01:50,520
items the first is implicit bias

362
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:52,619
training um president Porterfield thank

363
01:01:52,619 --> 01:01:55,079
you so we've been discussing this in the

364
01:01:55,079 --> 01:01:57,299
council um all the council has been an

365
01:01:57,299 --> 01:01:59,040
agreement that we will do it part of the

366
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:00,960
considerations were the cost

367
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,540
and um so you know we did receive

368
01:02:03,540 --> 01:02:06,240
information from various vendors however

369
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,760
our insurance company that ensures the

370
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:12,059
city that also um does our workplace

371
01:02:12,059 --> 01:02:14,339
violence trade uh training and also

372
01:02:14,339 --> 01:02:17,220
sexual harassment does have training

373
01:02:17,220 --> 01:02:19,140
available to us which is essentially

374
01:02:19,140 --> 01:02:20,160
free

375
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,760
there is a cost because I explained to

376
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,020
them that they wanted to do it during

377
01:02:25,020 --> 01:02:27,299
the day but during the day just doesn't

378
01:02:27,299 --> 01:02:28,740
work for everyone because people have

379
01:02:28,740 --> 01:02:30,359
jobs during the day so they want to do

380
01:02:30,359 --> 01:02:32,819
like in mid-afternoon so that's probably

381
01:02:32,819 --> 01:02:33,960
something that could not be

382
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,760
accommodating after speaking to um

383
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,280
council members who work during the day

384
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,260
so um they have provided an opportunity

385
01:02:40,260 --> 01:02:42,059
for us to do it in the evening

386
01:02:42,059 --> 01:02:43,740
but then that means that there's over

387
01:02:43,740 --> 01:02:45,180
like accommodations

388
01:02:45,180 --> 01:02:47,640
so I spoke with Mr

389
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,280
um Ferrari and we do have there is money

390
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,900
that's available to pay for an overnight

391
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:55,079
accommodation which is going to be much

392
01:02:55,079 --> 01:02:57,900
uh less than if we paid the trainer to

393
01:02:57,900 --> 01:03:00,059
actually come into training so they are

394
01:03:00,059 --> 01:03:01,920
prepared to come forward to do the

395
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,020
implicit bias training they provided us

396
01:03:04,020 --> 01:03:05,640
with a couple of dates at the end of

397
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,240
this month October 28th and 29th so um

398
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,119
November November 28th and 29th yes

399
01:03:12,119 --> 01:03:14,760
November 28th and 29th so I mean I'll

400
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:15,900
send out an email you'll have to check

401
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:17,280
it right now but I'll send out an email

402
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,440
with your Avail for your availability

403
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,960
but um something it's something we

404
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,640
really need to move forward with and so

405
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,099
we have landed on that again with a

406
01:03:26,099 --> 01:03:29,400
little or no cost uh a low cost to the

407
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,380
city but also an insurance carrier that

408
01:03:31,380 --> 01:03:33,359
we all we already deal with to do our

409
01:03:33,359 --> 01:03:35,819
other trainings

410
01:03:35,819 --> 01:03:38,700
expression so yes ask questions any

411
01:03:38,700 --> 01:03:39,619
questions

412
01:03:39,619 --> 01:03:42,299
on this matter

413
01:03:42,299 --> 01:03:48,170
it's good to get the insurance company

414
01:03:48,180 --> 01:03:51,119
so I so I was looking into this as well

415
01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:53,460
I think that on the explicit virus

416
01:03:53,460 --> 01:03:55,440
training is definitely going to start

417
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,059
the police start

418
01:03:57,059 --> 01:03:59,040
um I know that we spoke in our College

419
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:04,200
sessions around you know also engaging with anti-racism training

420
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,020
um since I reached out to um some of our

421
01:04:07,020 --> 01:04:09,540
partners within the school district and

422
01:04:09,540 --> 01:04:10,859
they were called to be able to

423
01:04:10,859 --> 01:04:13,079
accommodate us to

424
01:04:13,079 --> 01:04:15,140
do that training as well

425
01:04:15,140 --> 01:04:19,280
as these trainers do go hand in hand

426
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,720
really build off each other as far as

427
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,700
sustainability goes I think would be a

428
01:04:23,700 --> 01:04:24,780
good

429
01:04:24,780 --> 01:04:27,119
um thing to take advantage of we have a

430
01:04:27,119 --> 01:04:31,200
partner willing to help us in that thus

431
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,540
far in the conversation for the first

432
01:04:33,540 --> 01:04:38,390
training was will be done in the course

433
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:42,910
any questions about that

434
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,660
so are you recommending or asking that

435
01:04:45,660 --> 01:04:47,700
these these trainings be done

436
01:04:47,700 --> 01:04:49,440
simultaneously what is what are you

437
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,480
suggesting well I I don't want that

438
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,220
because as far as just logistically put

439
01:04:53,220 --> 01:04:57,960
them together and if we could I think so

440
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:03,280
um but I know that this is um

441
01:05:03,290 --> 01:05:09,789
[Music]

442
01:05:09,799 --> 01:05:13,740
as many you know Refreshers

443
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:17,809
um I also think that there's a specific

444
01:05:17,819 --> 01:05:20,390
um

445
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,040
type of training I guess within this

446
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,839
training that is relevant to our

447
01:05:24,839 --> 01:05:27,960
positions as a governing body

448
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,980
so I think that we can um we allowed to

449
01:05:31,980 --> 01:05:34,079
take advantage of that so so at this

450
01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:35,579
point logistically I don't know if it

451
01:05:35,579 --> 01:05:36,839
would have learned you could do like the

452
01:05:36,839 --> 01:05:38,520
same thing but I'm sure that the council

453
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,740
members would also

454
01:05:40,740 --> 01:05:49,210
foreign

455
01:05:49,220 --> 01:05:52,260
have any questions concerns

456
01:05:52,260 --> 01:05:58,549
around anti-racist security as well

457
01:05:58,559 --> 01:05:59,700
okay

458
01:05:59,700 --> 01:06:01,319
so if I could just switch up on the

459
01:06:01,319 --> 01:06:03,660
implicit bias um they did give us the

460
01:06:03,660 --> 01:06:05,819
time frame is like three hours just so

461
01:06:05,819 --> 01:06:08,579
you know it's not an all-day train but

462
01:06:08,579 --> 01:06:11,579
it will be at least three hours and in

463
01:06:11,579 --> 01:06:13,619
doing the background and research and

464
01:06:13,619 --> 01:06:15,059
looking into this

465
01:06:15,059 --> 01:06:16,740
it's my understanding that anything

466
01:06:16,740 --> 01:06:18,299
under two hours is really not that

467
01:06:18,299 --> 01:06:23,520
beneficial so they already have their uh training outlined and it is

468
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,380
three hours so they would come to us

469
01:06:25,380 --> 01:06:27,420
with with the uh with the training that

470
01:06:27,420 --> 01:06:29,760
they provide and our insurance company

471
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,220
actually is known was

472
01:06:32,220 --> 01:06:34,559
for Forbes they received Forbes 2020

473
01:06:34,559 --> 01:06:37,200
being the most one of the um Assurance

474
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:39,720
company that that racial that had a lot

475
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,539
of diversity and inclusion as part of as

476
01:06:42,539 --> 01:06:45,359
part of their Workforce so I I'm hoping

477
01:06:45,359 --> 01:06:46,619
that the training that we'll be able to

478
01:06:46,619 --> 01:06:49,440
get from then will certainly benefit the

479
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,390
Council

480
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,720
would it be able would we be able to

481
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,160
work it out with our insurance company

482
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,859
as well for the industries the same

483
01:06:58,859 --> 01:07:01,440
training he said that was free free from

484
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,500
school from the school district is there

485
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:06,059
just one

486
01:07:06,059 --> 01:07:09,720
person or that supplies that just one

487
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,680
individual the trains yeah

488
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,500
so multiple people would come in or well

489
01:07:16,500 --> 01:07:18,000
that would depend on the scope of

490
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,280
services that we operate so it really

491
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,039
depends on the need

492
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:25,920
so part of that though when if I can

493
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,960
speak to that part of that is that they

494
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,460
come and kind of talk to the council and

495
01:07:29,460 --> 01:07:31,260
say you know kind of get our idea of

496
01:07:31,260 --> 01:07:34,079
what needs to happen so they think so

497
01:07:34,079 --> 01:07:36,000
it's sort of like interview process sure

498
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,859
so then they can then they would take

499
01:07:37,859 --> 01:07:39,780
the training and make sure that the

500
01:07:39,780 --> 01:07:41,819
training is specific to what what was

501
01:07:41,819 --> 01:07:43,400
identified

502
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,359
training is really important that you're

503
01:07:45,359 --> 01:07:48,240
responsive right so um you don't want to

504
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:49,859
just come in and say I mean there's some

505
01:07:49,859 --> 01:07:52,440
pretty basic you know sheer Concepts and

506
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,119
understandings and definitions that you

507
01:07:54,119 --> 01:07:55,680
know we just kind of universal things

508
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,020
but really what you want to do is you

509
01:07:58,020 --> 01:07:59,220
really want to make sure that your

510
01:07:59,220 --> 01:08:02,400
trading is tired responsive to who

511
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,200
they're funny so it's more relevant and

512
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,960
you can actually apply your practices

513
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:08,760
so would there be like a questionnaire

514
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,299
prior to us getting a team in to speak

515
01:08:12,299 --> 01:08:14,579
with us or or would they come in and

516
01:08:14,579 --> 01:08:15,960
speak with us and then go from there

517
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:17,239
well our

518
01:08:17,239 --> 01:08:19,920
I'm not sure how they would want to do

519
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,319
that um and in my experience what I do

520
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:24,420
is I I may not meet with whatever group

521
01:08:24,420 --> 01:08:26,940
or at least some representatives of the

522
01:08:26,940 --> 01:08:28,739
group that I'd be working with and then

523
01:08:28,739 --> 01:08:30,299
kind of get you know ask them some

524
01:08:30,299 --> 01:08:33,600
pretty basic questions as to around me

525
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,580
um you know commitment you know what is

526
01:08:35,580 --> 01:08:36,480
you know

527
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:38,580
where are there any special areas that

528
01:08:38,580 --> 01:08:40,140
you're getting better you know have kind

529
01:08:40,140 --> 01:08:41,940
of risen to me I'm concerned that you

530
01:08:41,940 --> 01:08:43,859
need to address you know so on and so

531
01:08:43,859 --> 01:08:47,269
forth so it really depends

532
01:08:47,279 --> 01:08:49,620
I think we move forward with the

533
01:08:49,620 --> 01:08:51,960
implicit bias training as far as the any

534
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:53,699
racism training I think we should look

535
01:08:53,699 --> 01:08:55,859
at a variety of different vendors if we

536
01:08:55,859 --> 01:08:58,679
go down that road and get through the

537
01:08:58,679 --> 01:09:01,319
three hours first that's

538
01:09:01,319 --> 01:09:06,440
a big time commitment to end one evening

539
01:09:06,440 --> 01:09:08,279
some of these meetings have been three

540
01:09:08,279 --> 01:09:11,219
hours so and we all know how we are

541
01:09:11,219 --> 01:09:15,779
after those three hours so and so I

542
01:09:15,779 --> 01:09:17,699
think we get through that and look at

543
01:09:17,699 --> 01:09:20,160
various vendors and who might be able to

544
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,799
do training and see about moving forward

545
01:09:22,799 --> 01:09:24,960
on that yeah and we all want to make

546
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,540
sure that also the cost is something we

547
01:09:27,540 --> 01:09:28,980
always want to keep in mind and I don't

548
01:09:28,980 --> 01:09:30,660
want to diminish you know you know we

549
01:09:30,660 --> 01:09:32,580
had a little levity here but I want just

550
01:09:32,580 --> 01:09:34,380
to reiterate that there's this is very

551
01:09:34,380 --> 01:09:36,299
important and I'm sure that as good

552
01:09:36,299 --> 01:09:37,319
trainers they will give us a break

553
01:09:37,319 --> 01:09:38,759
somewhere in the middle we don't break

554
01:09:38,759 --> 01:09:41,100
I'm sure they will that's just how

555
01:09:41,100 --> 01:09:43,560
that's how good trainers do it

556
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,900
so I would just uh say like so

557
01:09:45,900 --> 01:09:48,420
safariable or other vendors the

558
01:09:48,420 --> 01:09:50,400
anti-racist trade um I'm definitely

559
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,819
willing to to do that as well but I

560
01:09:53,819 --> 01:09:56,100
think that if there's a you know if one

561
01:09:56,100 --> 01:09:57,540
of our Community Partners offering that

562
01:09:57,540 --> 01:09:59,400
for free and it's a pretty clear need

563
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,620
that is something that I need as a

564
01:10:01,620 --> 01:10:03,300
council and I think that you should

565
01:10:03,300 --> 01:10:06,420
probably have on that

566
01:10:06,420 --> 01:10:08,400
I'm not saying not to I'm just saying

567
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,260
let's look at a variety of different

568
01:10:10,260 --> 01:10:12,840
well organizations we can do this

569
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,340
similarly with what we did with this we

570
01:10:14,340 --> 01:10:15,600
looked at you know what the cost would

571
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:16,920
be in various vendors and people from

572
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:18,660
out of town and all that and just came

573
01:10:18,660 --> 01:10:20,820
back to the fact for us this was a

574
01:10:20,820 --> 01:10:21,900
little bit easier because it's our

575
01:10:21,900 --> 01:10:23,159
insurance company that we already deal

576
01:10:23,159 --> 01:10:26,040
with Etc so um absolutely that's

577
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:27,719
something you know to be considered is

578
01:10:27,719 --> 01:10:29,699
like with anything else we want at least

579
01:10:29,699 --> 01:10:31,380
three so

580
01:10:31,380 --> 01:10:32,219
um

581
01:10:32,219 --> 01:10:34,739
yeah but with this as it gets said it's

582
01:10:34,739 --> 01:10:35,400
a little bit different because our

583
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:36,900
insurance companies are there offering

584
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:40,020
so um we could definitely you know make

585
01:10:40,020 --> 01:10:41,820
sure we look into that and uh we'll

586
01:10:41,820 --> 01:10:44,520
start with this

587
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:45,960
want to get through budget season but

588
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,880
we're through that and uh so we'll move

589
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,330
forward with the training

590
01:10:50,330 --> 01:10:51,900
[Music]

591
01:10:51,900 --> 01:10:53,280
and I don't think we need a resolution

592
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,679
for that we're just having a discussion

593
01:10:55,679 --> 01:10:58,260
is that the 28th is a council meeting

594
01:10:58,260 --> 01:11:01,440
evening so the 9th of 29th because they

595
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:03,600
gave us the dates yeah yeah I can go

596
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,300
back and ask if uh unless unless I mean

597
01:11:06,300 --> 01:11:08,580
again I know folks work but unless we

598
01:11:08,580 --> 01:11:19,390
did it before Council

599
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,980
I can go back to them and ask if there's

600
01:11:22,980 --> 01:11:26,940
another date that they can um offer us

601
01:11:26,940 --> 01:11:29,820
and see if we can but uh I don't want to

602
01:11:29,820 --> 01:11:31,260
kick this can too much further down the

603
01:11:31,260 --> 01:11:33,900
road so I'll do that right now then we

604
01:11:33,900 --> 01:11:35,880
would definitely say the 29.5 the 28th

605
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:37,920
and see if we can do another date

606
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,500
um

607
01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:41,820
and I'll ask Marianne gave me the dates

608
01:11:41,820 --> 01:11:43,860
I'll ask her to stay away from Monday

609
01:11:43,860 --> 01:11:45,360
[Music]

610
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:59,830
foreign

611
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,920
for free

612
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:02,640
um

613
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,820
so please jump into words

614
01:12:05,820 --> 01:12:10,090
um

615
01:12:10,100 --> 01:12:13,199
whatever you decide you're about 11 I

616
01:12:13,199 --> 01:12:17,410
think on Netflix so

617
01:12:17,420 --> 01:12:19,920
oh is there a possibility since we're

618
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,199
requesting it that we all pigeon

619
01:12:22,199 --> 01:12:23,820
ourselves to pay for it without

620
01:12:23,820 --> 01:12:27,420
burdening the taxpayers

621
01:12:27,420 --> 01:12:29,990
so

622
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,280
I guess that could happen but that's why

623
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,159
you know that free part well again we

624
01:12:35,159 --> 01:12:38,520
want to open it up but you know I'd be

625
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,159
in favor of that myself

626
01:12:41,159 --> 01:12:43,739
yeah so you're suggesting we pay for the

627
01:12:43,739 --> 01:12:45,060
overnight accommodations that's already

628
01:12:45,060 --> 01:12:47,400
budgeted for us to get trading if if

629
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,860
that's what it takes it's already

630
01:12:49,860 --> 01:12:53,640
budgeted no not the biases or already in

631
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:54,679
there but

632
01:12:54,679 --> 01:12:56,820
moving forward if we don't want to

633
01:12:56,820 --> 01:12:58,440
burden the taxpayers with that and

634
01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:06,729
there's you know foreign

635
01:13:06,739 --> 01:13:09,360
that was just a suggestion that I'm

636
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,669
making personally

637
01:13:13,679 --> 01:13:15,060
well in service training is something

638
01:13:15,060 --> 01:13:17,100
that all departments do and we just have

639
01:13:17,100 --> 01:13:18,120
it

640
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:19,679
but there is money available too and

641
01:13:19,679 --> 01:13:21,960
it's it's an overnight accommodation I

642
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:23,520
don't know where you know what hotels

643
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,679
rooms and that was the issue just

644
01:13:25,679 --> 01:13:27,380
because it's okay

645
01:13:27,380 --> 01:13:30,960
yeah that's not even it's connected they

646
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:32,280
didn't have to say one close enough to

647
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,199
walk so now we're going to really narrow

648
01:13:34,199 --> 01:13:35,600
it down

649
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,760
I would say it's public servants I apply

650
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,260
this training is helping us be more

651
01:13:40,260 --> 01:13:41,820
beneficial by our roles in the movies

652
01:13:41,820 --> 01:13:44,760
and service the city so I think what I'm

653
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,640
excited for most is although maybe other

654
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,679
councils haven't partaken these types of

655
01:13:49,679 --> 01:13:51,199
actions I think this is very

656
01:13:51,199 --> 01:13:53,400
revolutionary in our city where this can

657
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:54,900
potentially be something that's annually

658
01:13:54,900 --> 01:13:57,420
so I look at the benefits of this long

659
01:13:57,420 --> 01:14:00,120
term for future capsules and how we are

660
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,820
taking in Monumental stuff and making

661
01:14:02,820 --> 01:14:04,980
sure that there might be various

662
01:14:04,980 --> 01:14:08,159
trainings that are required of council

663
01:14:08,159 --> 01:14:09,480
members to make sure that we are most

664
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:11,580
beneficial at our roles in the city so

665
01:14:11,580 --> 01:14:13,620
I'm excited for that I think with that

666
01:14:13,620 --> 01:14:15,780
point I would say it should be a budget

667
01:14:15,780 --> 01:14:17,760
item within the city but definitely how

668
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:18,600
I

669
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:20,940
is making our work more impactful for

670
01:14:20,940 --> 01:14:22,460
the city

671
01:14:22,460 --> 01:14:25,080
with that mind we could potentially

672
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,000
piggyback with the police department

673
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,520
since there's 60 000 in the budget so

674
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,920
that might actually be a quite a

675
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,840
beneficial thing for everybody

676
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,300
piggy bank what does that mean like we

677
01:14:36,300 --> 01:14:37,920
train all together training yeah yeah

678
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,140
well I think I think I've said this

679
01:14:40,140 --> 01:14:42,960
before and I'd like to repeat that I'd

680
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:44,640
like that training that that that just

681
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,100
like increases the numbers which means

682
01:14:47,100 --> 01:14:49,260
there's less interaction all that this

683
01:14:49,260 --> 01:14:50,699
training we talked about for the council

684
01:14:50,699 --> 01:14:52,380
so for this particular I would like us

685
01:14:52,380 --> 01:14:54,620
to say focus on that

686
01:14:54,620 --> 01:15:00,980
would not be implicit right okay all right

687
01:15:00,980 --> 01:15:03,540
they already yeah they already have in

688
01:15:03,540 --> 01:15:06,120
their budget right yeah so we can

689
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,820
piggyback with that and be beneficial I

690
01:15:08,820 --> 01:15:11,880
think for everybody yeah I would say

691
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,219
on the inside of anti-racism training

692
01:15:14,219 --> 01:15:16,199
the same as implicit bar training that

693
01:15:16,199 --> 01:15:20,100
we should probably make sure that we're

694
01:15:20,100 --> 01:15:22,380
doing it in a way that is relevant to

695
01:15:22,380 --> 01:15:24,659
our jobs and duties and our having

696
01:15:24,659 --> 01:15:27,000
seen the University of training that

697
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,679
happens because of the police but I

698
01:15:28,679 --> 01:15:30,780
would imagine because I did go to the

699
01:15:30,780 --> 01:15:33,239
inclusive buyers of unfortunately I was

700
01:15:33,239 --> 01:15:35,040
able to look at some of that so I would

701
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,260
imagine that some of that content is

702
01:15:37,260 --> 01:15:39,480
going to be specific to the nature of

703
01:15:39,480 --> 01:15:41,820
the job that you're doing so with that

704
01:15:41,820 --> 01:15:43,620
said I think that we also should focus

705
01:15:43,620 --> 01:15:45,600
on Council that's what we've done the

706
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:46,800
same way before because it's about

707
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:54,110
shared anti-creases of training

708
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,230
discussion

709
01:15:56,230 --> 01:15:57,420
[Music]

710
01:15:57,420 --> 01:15:59,880
okay sounds good I'll send you an email

711
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:01,640
all right

712
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,440
agenda item and ask

713
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:06,440
us

714
01:16:06,440 --> 01:16:09,000
an item that would require executive

715
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,060
sessions contract negotiations

716
01:16:12,060 --> 01:16:14,219
to hold it maybe to the end when we go

717
01:16:14,219 --> 01:16:16,760
in for property sales

718
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,500
okay so I definitely not like to recess

719
01:16:19,500 --> 01:16:27,250
the operations

720
01:16:27,260 --> 01:16:29,400
right I'd like to follow the order City

721
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,140
development and planning we have seven

722
01:16:31,140 --> 01:16:33,900
items on the agenda the first item is to

723
01:16:33,900 --> 01:16:35,760
award bin contract for the Schenectady

724
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,280
Park connector Trail wayfinding and

725
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:42,120
signage to WS fun design company

726
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:50,330
so

727
01:16:50,340 --> 01:16:52,140
um this was a complicated project for us

728
01:16:52,140 --> 01:16:55,320
to do not in implementation but just

729
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,000
kind of in the bidding process it's a

730
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,699
small project it's a little you know

731
01:16:59,699 --> 01:17:01,140
tough who do you how do you use it

732
01:17:01,140 --> 01:17:03,000
what's the cost going to be do you bid

733
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,100
it do you get quotes So the safest thing

734
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:06,960
was to bid it

735
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,360
um we did put it together as a bid we

736
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:12,360
only got one response I did talk with

737
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,239
some locals as it was a bid and not a

738
01:17:15,239 --> 01:17:16,980
price they found it a little cumbersome

739
01:17:16,980 --> 01:17:20,040
to go through our bid processes uh

740
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,140
they're smaller shops that don't usually

741
01:17:22,140 --> 01:17:24,360
have Bond requirements and things like

742
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,860
that so we got the one bid from WS signs

743
01:17:28,860 --> 01:17:30,900
out of Springfield Massachusetts The

744
01:17:30,900 --> 01:17:33,420
Price is Right Where we kind of expected

745
01:17:33,420 --> 01:17:35,640
it to be taught from other vendors we

746
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,920
have not worked with them but given the

747
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:40,380
kind of the elementary and stuff the

748
01:17:40,380 --> 01:17:42,120
project we would like to recommend

749
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:45,189
foreign

750
01:17:45,199 --> 01:17:47,940
early spring we're doing this project in

751
01:17:47,940 --> 01:17:49,199
cooperation with the county and

752
01:17:49,199 --> 01:17:53,880
Metroplex it is kind of a half and half

753
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,880
tourism project a local project because

754
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,820
it's just about linking downtown in the

755
01:17:59,820 --> 01:18:01,739
Parks to each other so we're going to

756
01:18:01,739 --> 01:18:03,480
start at the dog park in Central Park

757
01:18:03,480 --> 01:18:06,120
and we're going to end at the Vail

758
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,280
entrance way and then the goal is going

759
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,199
to be when we complete our Franklin

760
01:18:10,199 --> 01:18:12,120
Street cycle track that we're going to

761
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:13,679
take this type of sign as you move it

762
01:18:13,679 --> 01:18:15,600
all the way down to J Street and then

763
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,239
that way we create the J the Central

764
01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:20,219
Park Corridor and we're going to expand

765
01:18:20,219 --> 01:18:29,590
off that

766
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,460
in retrospect I mean this is hindsight

767
01:18:32,460 --> 01:18:34,260
but I don't want to I don't want to

768
01:18:34,260 --> 01:18:37,140
punish in a way the company for going

769
01:18:37,140 --> 01:18:39,060
through the work and doing the bid but

770
01:18:39,060 --> 01:18:41,400
in retrospective the cost was under 35

771
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,040
000 and we knew that from the did go we

772
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,020
could under our purchasing policy get

773
01:18:46,020 --> 01:18:48,000
three written quotes

774
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,100
but we thought the bid was the safest

775
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:51,360
that we had the estimate somewhere

776
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,800
between 30 and 50. okay okay

777
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,480
thank you any other questions

778
01:18:57,480 --> 01:18:58,920
um

779
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,380
that's it all in favor

780
01:19:01,380 --> 01:19:05,390
aye thank you thank you very much

781
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,440
okay next item on the agenda's

782
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:08,460
discussion it starts with me

783
01:19:08,460 --> 01:19:10,199
anti-literate program

784
01:19:10,199 --> 01:19:14,040
anti-liter action plan follow-up

785
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,080
someone sure

786
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,679
um so just to keep this on the Forefront

787
01:19:18,679 --> 01:19:21,900
to try to move through some

788
01:19:21,900 --> 01:19:25,500
is that may uh may not be as

789
01:19:25,500 --> 01:19:27,300
controversial

790
01:19:27,300 --> 01:19:30,540
um just looking to see if the council

791
01:19:30,540 --> 01:19:34,980
would agree to authorize the mayor to

792
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:36,060
um

793
01:19:36,060 --> 01:19:39,120
do certificates as we have for example

794
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,020
this is an example on page 69

795
01:19:42,020 --> 01:19:45,719
with businesses to encourage them to

796
01:19:45,719 --> 01:19:48,300
keep up their property to get the litter

797
01:19:48,300 --> 01:19:50,820
picked up on their properties try to put

798
01:19:50,820 --> 01:19:53,659
garbage cans out there

799
01:19:53,659 --> 01:19:56,300
and move forward to try to

800
01:19:56,300 --> 01:19:58,860
systematically go through some of the

801
01:19:58,860 --> 01:20:00,600
easier Parts before we get to the more

802
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,140
difficult parts and authorize the mayor

803
01:20:04,140 --> 01:20:07,080
to do that so that way we're all engaged

804
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,239
with this as a council as well as an

805
01:20:09,239 --> 01:20:11,640
Administration

806
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,880
do we really need to

807
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:15,960
authorize the man to do that yeah so

808
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,219
Meredith you can speak there's probably

809
01:20:17,219 --> 01:20:18,360
a little bit more

810
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,340
um because it started this project I

811
01:20:20,340 --> 01:20:25,669
wouldn't do it just by myself

812
01:20:25,679 --> 01:20:27,480
you want just like you want to the

813
01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:29,400
resolutions you want us all the Slime I

814
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,440
think well let's how do we do something

815
01:20:31,440 --> 01:20:33,060
that's a little bit fancy you know

816
01:20:33,060 --> 01:20:35,640
people take a little bit of pride in and

817
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:39,709
become part of your message

818
01:20:39,719 --> 01:20:42,239
yeah but my question is do we need to

819
01:20:42,239 --> 01:20:44,460
like authorize you to do that I think

820
01:20:44,460 --> 01:20:47,780
you can maybe do it informal

821
01:20:47,780 --> 01:20:50,420
my only oh sorry

822
01:20:50,420 --> 01:20:53,640
I apologize my only thinking was if we

823
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,520
all got on board it shows that we're all

824
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,340
committed to trying to tackle this and

825
01:20:59,340 --> 01:21:00,900
that was my only thinking on that we

826
01:21:00,900 --> 01:21:02,699
certainly don't need to authorize the

827
01:21:02,699 --> 01:21:07,620
mayor but it would be a I think a show

828
01:21:07,620 --> 01:21:10,080
that we're on board trying to get the

829
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:13,320
city cleaned up well hmm

830
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:15,000
Miss Patrick

831
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:16,560
um I was going to say that in terms of

832
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,120
you know we've been getting a lot of

833
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:21,659
positive feedback about this plan and

834
01:21:21,659 --> 01:21:23,159
every time that somebody reaches out to

835
01:21:23,159 --> 01:21:24,780
me I send it out to them and get their

836
01:21:24,780 --> 01:21:27,600
feedback you know to the plan et cetera

837
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,760
um and across the board people are

838
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:31,860
really interested in this idea of what

839
01:21:31,860 --> 01:21:34,199
new businesses do and how can we support

840
01:21:34,199 --> 01:21:36,300
the businesses in their own storefronts

841
01:21:36,300 --> 01:21:39,500
especially our smaller businesses in

842
01:21:39,500 --> 01:21:44,040
having a park and playing a role in uh

843
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,800
cleaning up cleaning up the city so I

844
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,239
think that's a good one I do think that

845
01:21:48,239 --> 01:21:51,900
this is a good kind of easy start to

846
01:21:51,900 --> 01:21:53,460
some of the other recommendations that

847
01:21:53,460 --> 01:21:57,050
are in the plan

848
01:21:57,060 --> 01:22:00,120
yeah I I thank all of us on when I saw

849
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:01,739
most I think all of us are concerned

850
01:22:01,739 --> 01:22:03,780
about the other troll of the city and we

851
01:22:03,780 --> 01:22:07,260
have all of us receive concerns from

852
01:22:07,260 --> 01:22:08,820
residents from business and things of

853
01:22:08,820 --> 01:22:10,679
that and I think when this initially

854
01:22:10,679 --> 01:22:12,120
came out to things more on an

855
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,699
educational drive to to work on that

856
01:22:14,699 --> 01:22:17,159
continent towards the resident towards

857
01:22:17,159 --> 01:22:19,020
business and things like that so I think

858
01:22:19,020 --> 01:22:21,000
we should you know continue that

859
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,040
momentum where we build on the

860
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,260
educational confidence of this operation

861
01:22:25,260 --> 01:22:27,200
here and

862
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:28,880
[Music]

863
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:32,100
is the executive officer so I don't

864
01:22:32,100 --> 01:22:34,020
think we can we can do that but we need

865
01:22:34,020 --> 01:22:35,699
to just work on our set out to

866
01:22:35,699 --> 01:22:37,920
originally educational confidence and

867
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,080
all of us can help in terms of driving

868
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:44,340
that message to Residents and everybody got

869
01:22:44,340 --> 01:22:47,209
involved

870
01:22:47,219 --> 01:22:49,500
um I like the idea of Mayor of if

871
01:22:49,500 --> 01:22:51,060
there's going to be a fancy certificate

872
01:22:51,060 --> 01:22:53,159
that we all sign it I think that's that

873
01:22:53,159 --> 01:22:54,960
shows the

874
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,159
commitment of all all council members so

875
01:22:58,159 --> 01:23:01,820
I guess you'll be designing that

876
01:23:01,820 --> 01:23:04,980
we'll go out and find some fancy frames

877
01:23:04,980 --> 01:23:09,470
too oh okay okay

878
01:23:09,480 --> 01:23:12,360
I also think it's important to be

879
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:13,800
realistic and that there's a lot of

880
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:15,480
different like trends that go around and

881
01:23:15,480 --> 01:23:17,840
I absolutely like love the thought of

882
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,920
anti-littering being a trendy Topic in

883
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,140
the city how I think it also is

884
01:23:22,140 --> 01:23:23,580
important for us to recognize that there

885
01:23:23,580 --> 01:23:25,679
may be individuals that do pledge and

886
01:23:25,679 --> 01:23:27,420
unfortunately either Fall by the wayside

887
01:23:27,420 --> 01:23:30,780
or don't continue to enact that belief

888
01:23:30,780 --> 01:23:32,460
of making sure you're picking up your

889
01:23:32,460 --> 01:23:34,440
trash order and keeping your area clean

890
01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:36,600
so having plenty dollar consideration to

891
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:38,880
how to remedy those types of issues or

892
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:40,920
address people that may be falling by

893
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,780
the wayside in a productive manner so

894
01:23:42,780 --> 01:23:43,980
that we just don't have like a thousand

895
01:23:43,980 --> 01:23:46,020
players in the city so it's

896
01:23:46,020 --> 01:23:50,950
where it's on page 68 yeah

897
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,219
I mean those are really good points and

898
01:23:53,219 --> 01:23:54,600
that's why I think the accountability

899
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:55,980
issue

900
01:23:55,980 --> 01:23:57,420
um is definitely and how do we hold

901
01:23:57,420 --> 01:23:59,940
people people and businesses accountable

902
01:23:59,940 --> 01:24:02,040
so there are different

903
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:04,620
um it's not just uh 68 it actually

904
01:24:04,620 --> 01:24:07,140
starts on 66 but yeah there's a few laws

905
01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:10,610
in the enforcement piece

906
01:24:10,620 --> 01:24:12,719
number of different recommendations

907
01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:14,159
um

908
01:24:14,159 --> 01:24:15,600
I'll just say for some of the listeners

909
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,100
that might have had an opportunity to

910
01:24:17,100 --> 01:24:18,659
review this and you can just highlight

911
01:24:18,659 --> 01:24:23,090
the important part

912
01:24:23,100 --> 01:24:23,659
um

913
01:24:23,659 --> 01:24:27,000
so to collaborate and communicate with

914
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:28,739
Schenectady businesses that have

915
01:24:28,739 --> 01:24:30,780
Perpetual litter and trash issues and

916
01:24:30,780 --> 01:24:34,440
violations so just some easy ways is

917
01:24:34,440 --> 01:24:36,960
maybe take some pictures of the litter

918
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:40,080
on the business property speak nicely to

919
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,120
the owner the manager of the business

920
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,340
you could even send a letter with the

921
01:24:44,340 --> 01:24:47,460
picture asking you know how can the

922
01:24:47,460 --> 01:24:49,520
residents help how can the city help

923
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,960
make an appointment to meet with the

924
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,480
business owner or the manager ask them

925
01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:56,659
how we can work together to educate

926
01:24:56,659 --> 01:24:59,640
customers to stop littering which is

927
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:03,540
part of the certificate aspect offer to

928
01:25:03,540 --> 01:25:05,580
provide educational materials such as

929
01:25:05,580 --> 01:25:08,159
posters for posting in prominent places

930
01:25:08,159 --> 01:25:10,980
in their establishment follow up with

931
01:25:10,980 --> 01:25:13,679
good news if they

932
01:25:13,679 --> 01:25:16,739
get less litter or with bad news if

933
01:25:16,739 --> 01:25:19,080
there's continued litter and if bad news

934
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,800
it it would be a fine from the city and

935
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:26,460
this pledge would be their commitment

936
01:25:26,460 --> 01:25:30,179
of it starts with me of trying to

937
01:25:30,179 --> 01:25:33,480
address this issue so it's kind of a

938
01:25:33,480 --> 01:25:36,420
incremental process of easing people

939
01:25:36,420 --> 01:25:39,480
into hey we need to take pride in our

940
01:25:39,480 --> 01:25:40,870
business and keep it clean

941
01:25:40,870 --> 01:25:42,480
[Music]

942
01:25:42,480 --> 01:25:43,980
then I think that there's that

943
01:25:43,980 --> 01:25:45,860
combination and that balance of

944
01:25:45,860 --> 01:25:49,920
incentive and positive feedback with the

945
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,420
idea of

946
01:25:51,420 --> 01:25:53,880
really you know holding folks

947
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,580
accountable if they don't

948
01:25:55,580 --> 01:25:59,219
continue to meet the The Pledge that

949
01:25:59,219 --> 01:26:03,110
they that they've taken

950
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:04,500
so

951
01:26:04,500 --> 01:26:06,840
how who would do the work what what

952
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:08,580
department is this to me is would this

953
01:26:08,580 --> 01:26:10,080
be assigned to

954
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,719
well I think that's a

955
01:26:12,719 --> 01:26:15,300
decision well

956
01:26:15,300 --> 01:26:16,800
in general

957
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,239
that was in the office of General

958
01:26:18,239 --> 01:26:20,280
Services he was a police and code

959
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:23,580
enforcement are part of it and a fully

960
01:26:23,580 --> 01:26:26,280
city-wide campaign you got to do

961
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,420
Outreach into neighborhood groups

962
01:26:29,420 --> 01:26:31,679
talk about going into the schools

963
01:26:31,679 --> 01:26:34,800
educating some of the kids and stuff in

964
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,960
terms of recycling and the benefits of

965
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,679
it so you've got you know a broad-based

966
01:26:40,679 --> 01:26:42,540
engagement

967
01:26:42,540 --> 01:26:45,060
where it starts with me hopefully people

968
01:26:45,060 --> 01:26:47,880
take care of the problem themselves and

969
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,280
we don't have to use City resources on

970
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,920
it is really the ideal scenario

971
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,739
but the reality is there's going to be

972
01:26:55,739 --> 01:26:58,080
some balance where yes you know City

973
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,179
crews are going to have to play some

974
01:27:00,179 --> 01:27:02,820
role in it whether it is

975
01:27:02,820 --> 01:27:04,980
hopefully it's a constructive

976
01:27:04,980 --> 01:27:07,520
engagement as opposed to

977
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,420
having to find people or cite them

978
01:27:11,420 --> 01:27:14,159
for you know poor choices that they're

979
01:27:14,159 --> 01:27:16,080
making

980
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:19,080
Miss Patrick I'll follow up to that um I

981
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,020
did ask Mr Lafond for his feedback as

982
01:27:22,020 --> 01:27:23,820
you had requested

983
01:27:23,820 --> 01:27:25,739
um he absolutely you know was very

984
01:27:25,739 --> 01:27:27,960
enthusiastic about the plan

985
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,480
um definitely like the rest of us thinks

986
01:27:30,480 --> 01:27:32,100
that the educational aspects and

987
01:27:32,100 --> 01:27:34,560
especially the aspects around behavioral

988
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,080
change whether it's young people adults

989
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,600
businesses Etc are going to be really

990
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,260
important he did make a suggestion of

991
01:27:42,260 --> 01:27:46,620
possibly a nuisance officer might be

992
01:27:46,620 --> 01:27:49,020
somebody that could be like a

993
01:27:49,020 --> 01:27:50,940
spokesperson almost and really kind of

994
01:27:50,940 --> 01:27:53,820
talk about the city's litter literary

995
01:27:53,820 --> 01:27:55,800
campaign as we move forward the other

996
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,920
piece of this is we do have a virtual

997
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:00,480
meeting set up with some members of the

998
01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:02,100
school district

999
01:28:02,100 --> 01:28:05,880
um who I went through Dr Kato and he has

1000
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:10,139
several people that are meeting with us

1001
01:28:10,139 --> 01:28:12,420
this week I can't remember now what the

1002
01:28:12,420 --> 01:28:13,980
date of it is but we'll be doing that

1003
01:28:13,980 --> 01:28:16,020
virtually to start talking about some of

1004
01:28:16,020 --> 01:28:17,820
the educational aspects that are in the

1005
01:28:17,820 --> 01:28:19,199
plan

1006
01:28:19,199 --> 01:28:20,880
and how how we can partner with the

1007
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:22,560
school district

1008
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,320
um on many different aspects of this

1009
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,540
so that's that's coming up as well we'll

1010
01:28:27,540 --> 01:28:29,159
be able to update you that about that

1011
01:28:29,159 --> 01:28:31,760
after we have a meeting

1012
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:35,159
yes I'm sorry I was Patrick just

1013
01:28:35,159 --> 01:28:37,199
mentioned at their meetings set up would

1014
01:28:37,199 --> 01:28:38,760
it be since all the city council members

1015
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,860
and mayor are involved no I think it

1016
01:28:40,860 --> 01:28:42,900
would be wise if all the council member

1017
01:28:42,900 --> 01:28:45,120
are invited to these meetings meetings

1018
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,820
are happening and only selected a city

1019
01:28:47,820 --> 01:28:49,500
council member or invited so I would

1020
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:51,060
like to see everybody invited we're all

1021
01:28:51,060 --> 01:28:52,380
part of it now

1022
01:28:52,380 --> 01:28:54,960
sure I can send out the date and the

1023
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:58,020
time and it's a virtual meeting so it's

1024
01:28:58,020 --> 01:29:00,300
teams I can't remember

1025
01:29:00,300 --> 01:29:02,699
um it could be certain it could be WebEx

1026
01:29:02,699 --> 01:29:04,199
um but I'll send it out to all of them

1027
01:29:04,199 --> 01:29:07,209
that would be all of them

1028
01:29:07,219 --> 01:29:10,699
I get confused these days

1029
01:29:10,699 --> 01:29:14,219
so this is good stuff number one I think

1030
01:29:14,219 --> 01:29:16,139
that this is and I love the educational

1031
01:29:16,139 --> 01:29:17,880
component of this

1032
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:22,390
um

1033
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,420
you know

1034
01:29:24,420 --> 01:29:26,400
just you know certain businesses who

1035
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,679
seem to have a problem but later

1036
01:29:28,679 --> 01:29:31,800
um I would just caution us to you know

1037
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,560
have a really broad Rush with this and

1038
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,780
like this is something that we want all

1039
01:29:36,780 --> 01:29:39,300
of our businesses all of our residents

1040
01:29:39,300 --> 01:29:40,739
um especially that being that there's

1041
01:29:40,739 --> 01:29:42,780
kind of some graduated interventions it

1042
01:29:42,780 --> 01:29:44,639
looks like that will happen I would I

1043
01:29:44,639 --> 01:29:50,340
would be mindful that we don't want to appear like we're selecting certain

1044
01:29:50,340 --> 01:29:52,380
businesses for surveys that we just want

1045
01:29:52,380 --> 01:29:55,450
to make sure that um

1046
01:29:55,460 --> 01:29:58,739
way that everyone is this opportunity

1047
01:29:58,739 --> 01:30:01,080
participate in this place yeah

1048
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:02,540
absolutely

1049
01:30:02,540 --> 01:30:05,090
on every single business in the city

1050
01:30:05,090 --> 01:30:07,380
[Music]

1051
01:30:07,380 --> 01:30:09,960
the clinic popular annual renewal used

1052
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,960
to bring the businesses in here I now go

1053
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,420
with fire chief police chief

1054
01:30:15,420 --> 01:30:17,460
represents Law Department

1055
01:30:17,460 --> 01:30:21,000
code enforcement out to the stores and

1056
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:22,739
we walked through

1057
01:30:22,739 --> 01:30:26,520
police calls look at the other calls for

1058
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:28,980
service I wanted to tell them because I

1059
01:30:28,980 --> 01:30:31,920
wanted to view the city as a partner and

1060
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,560
I want an adversarial relationship and

1061
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:38,880
one of the places cleaned up there are

1062
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,760
couple of places that I have told

1063
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,940
without question their Pig styes they

1064
01:30:44,940 --> 01:30:47,400
are an embarrassment of other ones most

1065
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,800
people they understand that they want

1066
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:53,460
their business to be good they want it

1067
01:30:53,460 --> 01:30:55,860
to be attractive they want to pick it up

1068
01:30:55,860 --> 01:30:58,080
the song that

1069
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,020
I question their business model and

1070
01:31:01,020 --> 01:31:04,970
maybe why they're in business

1071
01:31:04,980 --> 01:31:08,100
your point is well made and I don't ever

1072
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:09,960
want to project that image where people

1073
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:13,219
feel that it's adversarial or being

1074
01:31:13,219 --> 01:31:15,659
treated at different levels that you

1075
01:31:15,659 --> 01:31:18,900
want people to again be successful make

1076
01:31:18,900 --> 01:31:21,120
money here and add value within the

1077
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,040
neighborhoods

1078
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:25,679
get in my town to see the city staff as

1079
01:31:25,679 --> 01:31:27,300
partners

1080
01:31:27,300 --> 01:31:30,000
Mr Moon Yeah there's Rocky Banks when we

1081
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,800
were discussing this last time we did

1082
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:33,360
mention in London use some sticky thing

1083
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,699
that was fast a couple of years ago and

1084
01:31:35,699 --> 01:31:38,100
there were some issues with a ticketing

1085
01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:40,860
and I it just reminds me that I had

1086
01:31:40,860 --> 01:31:43,739
asked Mr Golden to look into it and to

1087
01:31:43,739 --> 01:31:45,360
see what is needed for the police

1088
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:47,760
department your office but I'm always

1089
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,560
involved to see that we need to bring

1090
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,780
that back at the same time so to move

1091
01:31:51,780 --> 01:31:53,880
forward with the ticketing aspect you

1092
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:55,520
need some ticketing aspect of that

1093
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:58,199
combined with the educational confidence

1094
01:31:58,199 --> 01:32:00,540
a bit also so that's the thing if you

1095
01:32:00,540 --> 01:32:02,940
know you have some time please fill us

1096
01:32:02,940 --> 01:32:05,460
in and see where we can land that as we

1097
01:32:05,460 --> 01:32:08,159
move forward yeah and you know obviously

1098
01:32:08,159 --> 01:32:11,510
um

1099
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:15,120
one of the issues that we've had I think

1100
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:16,920
is well first you know being on the same

1101
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:18,659
page this police department and you know

1102
01:32:18,659 --> 01:32:19,620
the law Department being on the same

1103
01:32:19,620 --> 01:32:21,719
page as the police departments obviously

1104
01:32:21,719 --> 01:32:24,480
a great significance

1105
01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:26,100
um and I haven't had an opportunity yet

1106
01:32:26,100 --> 01:32:29,960
uh to speak in detail with uh AC Whipple

1107
01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:34,560
who oversees you know a lot of this part

1108
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:36,679
of the law enforcement

1109
01:32:36,679 --> 01:32:39,659
the other piece to this is obviously how

1110
01:32:39,659 --> 01:32:41,760
the filths are interpreting the tickets

1111
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,159
that come in I'm sorry how the courts

1112
01:32:44,159 --> 01:32:46,500
see the ticketing

1113
01:32:46,500 --> 01:32:48,659
um obviously we have different city

1114
01:32:48,659 --> 01:32:51,060
court judges and you know obviously

1115
01:32:51,060 --> 01:32:54,060
looking for a consistent interpretation

1116
01:32:54,060 --> 01:32:57,179
method from the judges is you know

1117
01:32:57,179 --> 01:32:59,760
Paramount here because what we have

1118
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,520
right now we know Works across the board

1119
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,699
to modify it we would obviously need the

1120
01:33:05,699 --> 01:33:08,159
you know not one judge but you know all

1121
01:33:08,159 --> 01:33:09,840
the city court judges to be on the same

1122
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,780
page and you know they're not being an

1123
01:33:12,780 --> 01:33:16,440
issue I think you know sometimes uh you

1124
01:33:16,440 --> 01:33:18,360
know tracking down the judges to you

1125
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,159
know find that time to talk to all of

1126
01:33:20,159 --> 01:33:22,320
them and then for them to talk

1127
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:23,820
internally to make sure that they're on

1128
01:33:23,820 --> 01:33:25,560
the same page and proved to be a bit of

1129
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:27,000
a challenge

1130
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,040
um but it's something obviously that you

1131
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,739
know we're going to do once I talk to

1132
01:33:31,739 --> 01:33:33,000
the police department to figure out what

1133
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:34,800
is going to be the most efficient way

1134
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,199
first for them and then making sure that

1135
01:33:37,199 --> 01:33:39,179
it complies with you know all the

1136
01:33:39,179 --> 01:33:40,860
requirements of the criminal procedure

1137
01:33:40,860 --> 01:33:41,719
law

1138
01:33:41,719 --> 01:33:43,860
we're also going to be bringing in

1139
01:33:43,860 --> 01:33:46,020
commissioner Devine since he's a former

1140
01:33:46,020 --> 01:33:50,280
judge he might have some expertise there

1141
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:52,320
and uh

1142
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:54,600
ability to work with the court system

1143
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,000
with Mr Coleman as well as assistant

1144
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:00,179
chief Whipple so their your point is

1145
01:34:00,179 --> 01:34:02,880
correct and we're we're definitely

1146
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,219
looking into putting that together but

1147
01:34:05,219 --> 01:34:08,120
wanted to start with something yeah

1148
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,139
it's already on the books we just need

1149
01:34:10,139 --> 01:34:11,699
to revise we need to revise and move

1150
01:34:11,699 --> 01:34:12,560
forward

1151
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:16,020
to the campaign

1152
01:34:16,020 --> 01:34:17,639
thank you

1153
01:34:17,639 --> 01:34:20,699
uh just one other point so mayor are you

1154
01:34:20,699 --> 01:34:22,199
comfortable with what it's being called

1155
01:34:22,199 --> 01:34:25,260
it starts with me because I received an

1156
01:34:25,260 --> 01:34:26,360
email

1157
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,920
saying that the council had taken over

1158
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,199
your program so just want to make sure

1159
01:34:31,199 --> 01:34:33,659
be on record that you're comfortable oh

1160
01:34:33,659 --> 01:34:36,300
one big happy family anybody likes it or

1161
01:34:36,300 --> 01:34:38,400
not so just it's on the record so I can

1162
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,139
let her know but I did receive an email

1163
01:34:40,139 --> 01:34:42,179
saying that I've taken it over maybe you

1164
01:34:42,179 --> 01:34:43,260
shouldn't Rebrand it and call it

1165
01:34:43,260 --> 01:34:44,760
something else so

1166
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,580
you're 100 we actually worked with the

1167
01:34:47,580 --> 01:34:50,540
mayor so it was not stealing his program

1168
01:34:50,540 --> 01:34:52,739
well that wasn't made public we didn't

1169
01:34:52,739 --> 01:34:56,050
know that either so

1170
01:34:56,060 --> 01:34:57,840
maybe she's listening to the meeting

1171
01:34:57,840 --> 01:34:59,880
because she she obviously was listening

1172
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:03,060
enough to know so now she knows that

1173
01:35:03,060 --> 01:35:05,520
we're all on board with this together

1174
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,760
all right

1175
01:35:07,760 --> 01:35:09,840
any further discussion on this

1176
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:13,520
particular item okay you're quite well

1177
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:16,800
uh the next item is discussion of

1178
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,320
um hosting town hall meeting and that's

1179
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:22,620
Mr Harwin thank you so I'd like to thank

1180
01:35:22,620 --> 01:35:24,239
the community for allowing us the time

1181
01:35:24,239 --> 01:35:28,460
to focus more intently on passing and

1182
01:35:28,460 --> 01:35:31,020
approving the budget for this year or

1183
01:35:31,020 --> 01:35:33,360
for upcoming year we had an opportunity

1184
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:35,100
to send out two

1185
01:35:35,100 --> 01:35:37,739
iterations of

1186
01:35:37,739 --> 01:35:40,380
dates to host the town hall at the Boys

1187
01:35:40,380 --> 01:35:42,179
and Girls Club I would like to thank Mr

1188
01:35:42,179 --> 01:35:43,620
Shane Barbie for being very

1189
01:35:43,620 --> 01:35:45,840
understanding and accommodating and it

1190
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,400
seems that the majority of the council

1191
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:50,820
is available on December 1st I know

1192
01:35:50,820 --> 01:35:52,800
there were some conflicting schedules

1193
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:54,239
but I appreciate everyone taking the

1194
01:35:54,239 --> 01:35:57,420
time to respond back to the email I look

1195
01:35:57,420 --> 01:35:59,699
forward to hearing from the community I

1196
01:35:59,699 --> 01:36:00,900
know in the absence of this meeting

1197
01:36:00,900 --> 01:36:02,280
there have been a number of residents

1198
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:04,320
who have come forward to this state

1199
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:07,020
their their issues and and just concerns

1200
01:36:07,020 --> 01:36:09,179
about housing within the city so

1201
01:36:09,179 --> 01:36:10,860
absolutely I look forward to having this

1202
01:36:10,860 --> 01:36:12,900
town hall be hosted in collaboration

1203
01:36:12,900 --> 01:36:14,820
with the other council members and I

1204
01:36:14,820 --> 01:36:17,040
look forward to working collaboratively

1205
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:19,679
with them so that it reflects our truest

1206
01:36:19,679 --> 01:36:22,080
intent just hearing from the community

1207
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:23,940
so first with time

1208
01:36:23,940 --> 01:36:27,060
I believe it was 5 30 to 7 30. so the

1209
01:36:27,060 --> 01:36:34,970
time Remains the Same okay questions discussion we're

1210
01:36:34,980 --> 01:36:37,500
Mr turo well no wait there's a Hamilton

1211
01:36:37,500 --> 01:36:39,480
Hill meeting that night I just put that

1212
01:36:39,480 --> 01:36:44,450
up here

1213
01:36:44,460 --> 01:36:47,159
just I'm sorry it's Patrick no I'm just

1214
01:36:47,159 --> 01:36:49,159
I have two conferences

1215
01:36:49,159 --> 01:36:52,980
to try again so Mr Williams answer your

1216
01:36:52,980 --> 01:36:54,600
point of Mr Tara Lake unfortunately is

1217
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:55,860
trying to make sure we at least have

1218
01:36:55,860 --> 01:36:59,100
this discussion uh making it coincide

1219
01:36:59,100 --> 01:37:00,600
cleanly with some of the neighborhood

1220
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:02,120
Associated meetings

1221
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,260
uncomfortable but I think for me it's

1222
01:37:04,260 --> 01:37:06,480
reaching out to them letting them know

1223
01:37:06,480 --> 01:37:08,040
in advance and hopefully they'll be able

1224
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:10,080
to adjust accordingly but again you

1225
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:11,760
don't need to be in attendance uh

1226
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:12,960
definitely want to make sure the

1227
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:15,120
appropriate email is put them on the

1228
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,100
flyer but people will have multiple

1229
01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:19,440
options to be able to send their

1230
01:37:19,440 --> 01:37:22,380
feedback so it'll be more opportunities

1231
01:37:22,380 --> 01:37:25,199
for you to move your point

1232
01:37:25,199 --> 01:37:27,300
does yours need to be an independent in

1233
01:37:27,300 --> 01:37:29,040
person you can similar to how our

1234
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:30,540
Council meetings you can send in an

1235
01:37:30,540 --> 01:37:33,290
email

1236
01:37:33,300 --> 01:37:34,860
he's talking about the purpose of the

1237
01:37:34,860 --> 01:37:35,940
floor when people want to send in

1238
01:37:35,940 --> 01:37:38,100
particular the floor they don't have to

1239
01:37:38,100 --> 01:37:40,199
yes they can send in via email and

1240
01:37:40,199 --> 01:37:41,940
subscribe what their concerns are so

1241
01:37:41,940 --> 01:37:45,179
doing something similar with this

1242
01:37:45,179 --> 01:37:46,920
so we have the majority of the council

1243
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,870
available on that date

1244
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:52,560
any other questions further discussion

1245
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:55,139
so I think some of the first five thirty

1246
01:37:55,139 --> 01:37:56,699
to seven Target at the Boys and Girls

1247
01:37:56,699 --> 01:38:00,229
Club education

1248
01:38:00,239 --> 01:38:01,920
thank you

1249
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:05,699
any other questions for the discussion

1250
01:38:05,699 --> 01:38:08,580
uh the final four items are property

1251
01:38:08,580 --> 01:38:10,199
sales which you will have to go into

1252
01:38:10,199 --> 01:38:12,239
executive sessions for

1253
01:38:12,239 --> 01:38:16,199
as well as the recess government Ops

1254
01:38:16,199 --> 01:38:18,179
so at this time I make motion we go into

1255
01:38:18,179 --> 01:38:21,840
the second session all in favor

1256
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:23,840
um
