[9:54] I learned about the third collectors

[10:04] The Clapper

[10:17] Schenectady city council committee

[10:19] meeting for Monday March 6 2023 and the

[10:23] first committee is Public Safety

[10:26] wow like to call to order at the Public

[10:29] Safety Committee there's one item on the

[10:30] agenda tonight that's simply a reminder

[10:32] the amendment of chapter 186 session 16

[10:35] of the city code regarding Firestone

[10:37] smoking in city parks there's a public

[10:39] hearing that will be held on March 13th

[10:42] 2023 and if there are no other items to

[10:45] involved many can I consider motion to

[10:47] adjourns second second all in favor

[10:53] thank you I would like to call your

[10:55] Finance to order and the first item is

[10:57] your authorization for the minute to

[10:59] enter an agreement whether it's

[11:01] connected Foundation utilizing arpa

[11:03] funding for the healthy and Equitable

[11:05] food access Council no

[11:09] um I thought I'd actually be down here

[11:10] by now but um that item is going to

[11:13] um be pulled they have some further

[11:14] things they need to work out

[11:17] it's going to be over two weeks

[11:20] okay

[11:23] you're gonna pull one and two I thought

[11:26] yes

[11:35] okay the next item is discussion

[11:38] amending resolution

[11:41] 2022-214 with a resolution appropriating

[11:44] American Rescue Planet pack funding

[11:47] funds for a minute to enter an agreement

[11:49] related to such a location Miss

[11:52] porterview yes

[11:54] um regarding this resolution

[11:57] when we put it Forward we're talking

[11:58] about the food access at that time we

[12:01] had pulled the Green Market out however

[12:04] when we passed it we included the Green

[12:06] Market in there and then had them

[12:08] separately once again so this amendment

[12:11] is to this resolutions to amended so

[12:14] that the Green Market is pulled out from

[12:16] the 950 000 and because it already sits

[12:19] Along on its own in the resolution

[12:24] go ahead

[12:26] um so along that vein I noticed that

[12:28] concern for the hungry again I think

[12:30] needs to be in the resolution it's it's

[12:33] in one part of the grid but not in the

[12:35] other part

[12:39] what I was wondering about the Green

[12:41] Market as well so yeah that was my

[12:44] concern I didn't realize both I think I

[12:46] pulled because I was going to ask

[12:47] political concerned for hungry

[12:53] but since it's been uh discuss that

[12:56] later yeah there is going to definitely

[12:58] have to be some um further discussion

[13:00] around those items

[13:03] yes yes okay

[13:07] sorry I caught it to you no that was it

[13:11] I mean it's actually page well on this

[13:13] it's uh page 22 right

[13:17] down but you said it doesn't have

[13:18] concerns it has it in column three

[13:22] and I believe that we wanted it included

[13:24] and then it's not in column

[13:27] uh one oh I see it okay I got it so it's

[13:31] similar to the green market in terms of

[13:33] you know the Green Market needs to come

[13:35] out because it has its own good concert

[13:37] for the Hungary I just wanted to make

[13:38] sure that they were still noted in that

[13:48] those applications make sure that

[13:51] um everything that they've asked for

[13:53] things that we can fund so that's why

[13:55] it's not going to be going through

[13:56] tonight

[14:00] so of course can you just recap for us

[14:02] please we're kind of like cross path

[14:03] it's okay what are you looking for on

[14:07] page 22 in column three

[14:10] um it includes uh the green Mark is part

[14:12] of the nine hundred and fifty thousand

[14:13] dollars however we had taken the Green

[14:16] Market out and if we looked on page 23

[14:19] you see the Green Market has 50 000

[14:21] allocation all its own so we're just

[14:23] simply cleaning up that lineage the

[14:25] green Mark is not included as part of

[14:26] that

[14:28] so you look into a man resolution

[14:32] 2022-214 is removed oh

[14:35] exactly remarket as a separate

[14:37] resolution it already is there we're

[14:39] just taking out it shouldn't be in that

[14:41] column all right

[14:44] any other questions

[14:48] out

[14:54] yes we should do that we're putting it

[14:57] in yes yes

[15:09] second a second all a favor hi thank you

[15:14] the next item is

[15:18] Miss Porterfield well Mr again was

[15:21] supposed to be here so

[15:23] I don't know if she's still in the

[15:25] building

[15:26] where do you know

[15:28] I don't know

[15:30] any request well we yeah

[15:36] Mr Colin had to give us some of this is

[15:39] anything you can get with us or you

[15:40] don't have it I

[15:41] releases out of the hands of the Law

[15:43] Department

[15:44] um previously we had provided the

[15:47] development department with a contract

[15:49] that they can use with the recipients of

[15:52] the arpa funds

[15:53] can't speak to where anything stands in

[15:56] getting that executed that was happening

[15:57] through development because they were I

[15:59] believe awaiting documentation from a

[16:01] lot of those organizations

[16:03] so and what I'll do is I'll ask Miss Gia

[16:06] to provide that in writing to us so we

[16:08] can send it out to accounts

[16:13] all right

[16:14] any other business before Finance

[16:16] motion to adjourn say all in favor all

[16:19] right thank you okay I just wanted to

[16:21] call the order government operations

[16:23] there's only one either on the agenda and that is amendments to chapter

[16:27] 161 of the code regarding the collection

[16:30] of white goods and that public hearing

[16:31] was held on 227 on the questions

[16:38] concerns or comments around that issue

[16:43] Protocol no there was no um no one came

[16:46] to testify or to speak in public hearing

[16:48] but we did have a couple email

[16:50] it yes we did have someone sent an email

[16:54] I missed Michael was just one email

[16:57] there were two emails regarding it and I

[17:00] believe both of me emails were not in

[17:02] favor of US changing

[17:08] um but I did mayor

[17:10] in terms of the white guys that we've

[17:12] collected so far

[17:15] and I saw that there was an article

[17:17] where it said that we only had one like

[17:18] all month long

[17:21] six months one in six months oh okay

[17:26] four along might be so that's great all

[17:29] right

[17:31] okay the whole purpose of that was just

[17:32] to be a little more efficient with the

[17:34] city so we don't have trucks up for no

[17:35] reason for anyone who needed to refresh

[17:38] on that any other questions sounds or

[17:39] comments around that

[17:42] okay so with that I'd like to uh also

[17:46] promotion to adjourn government

[17:47] operations

[17:56] um

[18:03] so second

[18:19] we have six items on the agenda

[18:22] um for the first one is award bidding

[18:24] contract for the Pine Barren stump

[18:26] removal

[18:27] to moy Enterprises

[18:36] hello hello uh so this is a project that

[18:40] we've been working on this is phase

[18:41] three of a three-phase project phase one

[18:44] law and two were for the harvesting of

[18:47] trees in Woodlawn uh and this is for the

[18:50] removal of the stumps they're actually

[18:52] not being removed they're kind of being

[18:54] pushed over buried and and it's going to

[18:57] be like a loose graded kind of thing and

[18:59] then the Pine Bush is actually going to

[19:01] come and start making habitat uh like

[19:03] with Lupine and things like that and uh

[19:05] you know the best views that you see in

[19:08] the Albany uh Pineville area

[19:10] um excuse me the one Albany what's the

[19:13] word Lupine and fescues yeah the grass

[19:15] they're not actually going to plant like

[19:17] sod or progression it's more like if you

[19:19] go to the golf course we have a

[19:21] different Fescue mixes and movement and

[19:23] then the the goal was to make habitat

[19:25] for Carnival butterfly

[19:28] um which is it's a big thing there so

[19:30] this is phase three of the project

[19:32] um we were you know I didn't bring it up

[19:36] we did have you know three bids the bids

[19:39] were a large range

[19:41] Moy SM and then Harbor

[19:44] um we did call the Pine Bush and speak

[19:46] with Moy and this particular company has

[19:50] done a lot of work with the Pine Bush it

[19:52] is one of their preferred vendors to

[19:54] work with so given that we've been

[19:57] working with the fine Bush hand in hand

[19:59] for a couple of years on this we feel no

[20:01] reason not to move forward with it and

[20:03] it is within the budget of the project

[20:06] are there any questions

[20:08] I'll move it

[20:10] it's like an elbows in favor all right

[20:12] second item on the agenda is the

[20:14] award-winning contract because for the

[20:16] Schenectady Municipal Golf Course Barn

[20:18] electrical services and upgrades so last

[20:21] year you approved a contract with um uh

[20:25] I can't remember the car coming off my

[20:27] head but we're going to be getting a new

[20:28] Fleet of Yamaha lithium carts in April

[20:31] um probably mid-april we've been working

[20:34] with National Grid as we're going to

[20:36] need a new poll and Transformer to serve

[20:39] the building because it's going to be a

[20:41] significantly larger service right now

[20:44] we have a 100 amp service that's Powers

[20:46] a power washer and some lights and a

[20:49] speaker system but this is going to be a

[20:51] 400 amp service each cart needs its own

[20:54] Outlet there are 70 carts so this will

[20:57] be to upgrade the electrical system from

[21:00] there we've talked to the contractor

[21:02] he's ready to go the second he gets the

[21:04] authorization from you it's probably

[21:06] going to take about three weeks to

[21:07] finish and National Grid already as the

[21:10] working voice and check to do the work

[21:13] and once the ground permits it we

[21:16] believe they'll be on the site so we

[21:17] think we're going to be able to make it

[21:18] for that and you have to remember too we

[21:20] don't know about Parts usually the first

[21:22] two weeks the season opens anyways

[21:23] because the course is usually wet and we

[21:26] don't want to sacrifice the course

[21:27] because wet and carts do a lot more

[21:30] damage than growing the season so this

[21:33] vendor we also work with and we have

[21:36] confidence that they'll be able to

[21:37] successfully complete the job

[21:39] have any questions to comments

[21:42] it's not nothing

[21:44] second all's a favor bye thank you all

[21:48] right thank you Mr Waller

[21:49] thrilling on the agenda is the creative

[21:51] outdoor garbage collection business

[21:55] so last time there was a question as to

[21:58] where garbage cans would be put the

[22:01] fender says that they as I said would

[22:05] not send some of their site auditor to

[22:08] the city without a contract in place

[22:11] that being said they did say they would

[22:14] be willing to put into a contract

[22:18] that the mayor and the council could

[22:20] have final approval of all the garbage

[22:24] sites if that's what you want

[22:26] so that's where we're at

[22:31] um so I did get a call from I had a

[22:34] conversation with um

[22:36] the head of the union

[22:38] for that collects garbage and they said

[22:40] that they had not they had no no

[22:43] information about this and said they

[22:44] wanted I guess they're having a meeting

[22:46] um with the mayor this week and said

[22:48] they wanted to be able to have a

[22:50] discussion regarding how this impacts

[22:52] whether it's through collection we

[22:55] already uh for those of you don't know

[22:56] there was um

[22:58] someone in the city that was doing

[23:00] something that was you

[23:01] and actually filed a grievance and won

[23:03] their grievance

[23:05] so um not not related to this but

[23:07] related to something separate and so

[23:10] they brought that up and said if this is

[23:12] going to be about collecting garbage Etc

[23:13] they want to be able to have some um to

[23:16] at least know what it's about and who's

[23:18] going to do what before we move forward

[23:20] with that as I said the first time that

[23:23] we discussed this it's basically

[23:25] replacing cans that they're already

[23:27] removing garbage from so they want to be

[23:29] any additional work for them it would be

[23:32] basically a swap out

[23:35] this is but this is 40 hands but in the

[23:38] gentleman that was here said that the

[23:40] cans that were decent this would be in

[23:42] addition to is my understanding not

[23:44] replacing cans that we paid lots of

[23:46] money for

[23:47] right and so there are a lot of cans

[23:51] around the city so those would get

[23:52] swapped out we met with the mayor and

[23:54] met with commissioner Lafond and he was

[23:58] pretty adamant that this could be done

[24:01] with the city crew and it would

[24:04] basically be a replacement

[24:06] [Music]

[24:09] well I can only go by what the union

[24:11] says because they're the ones that

[24:12] reached out to me and

[24:14] so mayor um I don't really want to put

[24:16] you on the spot but I I understand

[24:18] you're meeting with them this week

[24:20] oh

[24:22] I know you can't discuss contract

[24:24] negotiations I'm not asking that well I

[24:26] always find it interesting when the

[24:28] council is dealing directly with unions

[24:30] and bypassing my position but uh

[24:35] do have meetings coming up but through

[24:37] this is a long issue you should move

[24:39] ahead with this

[24:41] get it in place

[24:45] um so let me just be clear there wasn't

[24:46] that bypassing which is why I'm bringing

[24:47] it here and not having you know

[24:49] discussing with them what will the one

[24:50] that happened they tell me they're going

[24:52] to be speaking with you and I say that's

[24:53] fine that's the way it should happen so

[24:55] we have a problem with letter this gives

[24:57] us an option I'll work it out with the

[25:00] unions

[25:04] well I'd like to

[25:06] so go ahead

[25:08] I think that um I think it's a great

[25:10] idea I think it's going to add value to

[25:13] the city it doesn't I mean they're free

[25:16] um and I think that um it'll help us get

[25:18] some of our points across around the

[25:21] anti-literate plan that the council

[25:22] already passed

[25:25] um so I just want to say that I will be

[25:27] in support of this moving forward and I

[25:30] think one of the emails that we got from

[25:32] a citizen I think that's where it was

[25:34] outline some specific areas around the

[25:37] city that were um in a dire need of

[25:40] cleanup so I was thinking as I read that

[25:43] email about this idea of what would be

[25:45] the sites for some of the garbage cans

[25:47] and I thought that kind of helped us lay

[25:50] that out a little bit in his email

[25:52] to us so anyway I just voice support for

[25:55] this yeah

[25:58] oh

[26:00] um

[26:01] so I I've also uh in support of this it

[26:03] sounds like a really good idea

[26:05] um and it doesn't seem like it's going

[26:07] to be to any cause of in fact the

[26:08] benefit to the city um so I'm in full

[26:10] support of this

[26:12] um with you know the understanding and that it's not you know going to put

[26:17] us in

[26:18] a bad situation with the union and you

[26:21] know that we are I appreciate the uh

[26:24] Amendment if you will the proposed

[26:26] amendment to the contractor where we can

[26:28] um you know make that final decision to

[26:30] make sure that it's in line with needs

[26:32] in the city however so I'm I want to be

[26:35] also join with you supporting this and

[26:39] also I want to make sure that you know before we move forward with

[26:43] this that is something that's going to

[26:44] be in line with our our Union

[26:49] I just want to say that I'm absolutely

[26:51] in favor of it um Mr the piccolo is the

[26:54] one that sends us uh information all the

[26:57] time regarding

[26:58] um you know trash littering the city

[27:00] streets so

[27:02] um and I know I think this is 40 cancers

[27:04] 40 or so

[27:07] um just on State Street alone I mean

[27:09] probably be room for 20 of them

[27:12] anyway and then also bringing some

[27:15] Revenue into the city so and again I

[27:18] defer the mayor for making negotiations

[27:20] with our unions to work things out so

[27:22] I'm a vegan

[27:25] Mr Rudy Bear yeah

[27:28] um as long as I'm in Wisconsin we have

[27:30] been discussing liver service all over

[27:33] every time I think I'm

[27:36] for myself a speaker of water all of

[27:38] awful support is idea but I came to the

[27:40] table with a very same concern with the

[27:42] Union where we had an employee with

[27:43] picking up garbage when I was supposed

[27:44] to happen they grieved it they wanted

[27:46] the grievance and I think we should give

[27:49] them an opportunity to discuss with the

[27:51] mayor to some sort of an agreement if

[27:53] either way and let's move forward after

[27:55] that at this point in time I think I'm

[27:57] very supportive of the program but I

[27:58] want to make sure that the union is hard

[28:00] and the ingredients if they have any

[28:01] it's hard to give them the opportunity

[28:04] to address it and let's move all that I

[28:06] find time rather I'll be moving now and

[28:08] we are meeting with the mayor this week

[28:09] or next week

[28:10] I'm very supportive of this program

[28:12] unless

[28:13] that's my concern with leading Mr

[28:16] clothing I had to ask you but I think

[28:18] you've mentioned that in order to have

[28:19] outdoor signage we don't need a special

[28:22] zoning it's hard to change the city

[28:24] correctly not to do anything in silica

[28:26] to have all the door to have a company

[28:29] putting all the door science City's

[28:31] Contracting with the company helps us

[28:34] not

[28:35] um you know just a private party this is

[28:38] a city Contracting tip so it complies

[28:41] with the code so because the city is

[28:43] Contracting for the private company

[28:45] correct because because it's the city is acting as opposed to a

[28:50] private party appropriately

[28:53] I want to make sure that because we

[28:54] don't want to go there and then realize

[28:56] that private company is going to want to

[28:57] do the same thing and we don't have to

[28:58] control cities right away yes so they

[29:00] would even need to get permission in the

[29:02] cities where it would Place garbage cans

[29:04] thank you

[29:07] Mr Williams uh definitely the weather

[29:09] something I grew up recognizing

[29:12] unfortunately exists throughout the city

[29:14] so I appreciate these efforts and moving

[29:15] forward I think my only concern was just

[29:18] placement where a lot of the times

[29:20] especially with the information and

[29:22] language that was brought forward was

[29:24] high traffic areas so I know sometimes

[29:26] litter might not be in high traffic

[29:28] areas so I want to make sure and I

[29:30] appreciate adding the language like Mr

[29:32] Farley Highland where we're able to

[29:33] designate prospective areas that this

[29:36] has an increased impact on the city but

[29:38] then also making sure because there was

[29:40] an email that came out addressing

[29:41] advertising and making sure again that

[29:44] we have messaging that's appropriate for

[29:46] all of our residents in the city but

[29:48] absolutely I support any effort that is

[29:51] targeting littering but also being

[29:54] realistic where we still need people

[29:55] actively putting things in garbage cans

[29:57] so this unfortunately isn't the end-all

[29:59] solution but absolutely is an

[30:01] appropriate first step

[30:05] all right

[30:06] um so and also this in terms of the

[30:10] amount of funding I think was tens

[30:11] fifteen thousand dollars but then we

[30:14] still what about our tipping fee so we

[30:16] still have to pay out money for our

[30:18] tipping fees so it would not be that

[30:21] um

[30:22] so our tipping fees would come out of

[30:24] whatever Revenue we we had for pain

[30:29] we're paying for it one way or the other

[30:32] except yes but but it sounds like it's

[30:35] going to be a lot more cans a lot more

[30:37] garbage so I just want to make sure that

[30:38] we're taking that because there's the

[30:40] entirely think there's going to be more

[30:41] garbage garbage sometimes is not where

[30:45] we want it but I don't anticipated the

[30:48] amount of garbage increasing

[30:51] [Music]

[30:53] um so but what I am hearing is that we

[30:54] want to we want to make sure that we're

[30:55] clear with the Union first that

[30:57] myself and Mr move to there and I know

[30:59] that you're ready to move forward but

[31:01] I'd like to give them that level of

[31:03] perspective they said they hadn't heard

[31:04] anything about that so yeah

[31:06] well

[31:09] move it forward and then

[31:11] um

[31:13] well you have to ask for the motion

[31:15] is there any further discussion Twitter

[31:19] and now in chain emotion I'll move it

[31:24] as I stated that I will wait until the

[31:27] mayor meets with the Union let them

[31:30] greet the concern let me appreciate you can update us on that move it

[31:35] forward tonight this is really an

[31:36] embarrassment you know Mr Paolini

[31:38] brought this

[31:40] Quarterfield doesn't like him we've gone

[31:42] into we maneuver on all these minor

[31:44] things you know it's the white goods

[31:46] where we had one white good picked up in

[31:49] six months took 120 days to move that

[31:53] through it's really an embarrassment so

[31:58] if you want me to meet with the unions I

[32:00] will meet with the unions but the

[32:01] position the administration is not going

[32:03] to change the outcome is not going to

[32:06] change and you're just missing an

[32:08] opportunity to move this forward in

[32:09] Timeless man thank you

[32:11] algorithm

[32:13] it's also it's not true of the agreements because

[32:18] that was just an out of it's different

[32:21] employees we have grievances here on an

[32:25] ongoing basis to take this and say one

[32:28] grievance should shift this policy is

[32:31] just foolish where you don't understand

[32:33] the mechanics of the day-to-day

[32:35] operations of the city

[32:38] well McNair you said you made the

[32:39] statement that I don't agree but then I

[32:41] don't like to say don't agree with it

[32:42] and that's incorrect and in terms of the

[32:44] white goods it was a matter of that was

[32:46] done before it ever passed through the

[32:48] council if the council was never asked

[32:50] about it so that that is clearly in

[32:52] violation to your attention gave you the

[32:56] opportunity to move it forward so that

[32:58] it looks like the council is doing

[33:00] something there's no action by the

[33:02] council and we sit here and just spin

[33:04] our Wheels

[33:06] it's really quite a waste of time and

[33:08] effort well those cards were printed

[33:09] before it was brought to the council so

[33:11] it was already absolutely not true

[33:15] okay I mean the calendar can can show

[33:17] what happens on it yeah we don't need to

[33:19] argue about that

[33:20] Mr Farley so if I'm understanding this

[33:24] correctly it seems like

[33:26] we all have

[33:28] more aligned with this idea than not so

[33:31] it just seems like the the question is

[33:34] how is this going to impact the union

[33:36] um the union would be the the People

[33:39] Best to answer that give them an

[33:41] opportunity to speak to that and then we

[33:43] pass this

[33:45] um unanimously and and locks up with

[33:47] each other because we all seem to think

[33:49] that this is a good idea I just wouldn't

[33:51] want this to be framed as something that

[33:53] um you know there's there there's not a

[33:55] lot of a very differentiating our

[33:58] opinions on this I think everyone wants

[33:59] this to happen and I from day one it was

[34:01] pretty vocal about hey I think this is a good idea I think it could benefit the

[34:06] city however we allow ourselves to make

[34:07] an informed decision as a responsible

[34:09] government body should and I think that

[34:10] that's a good thing so we so it doesn't

[34:12] seem like we're you know there's too

[34:13] much daylight between how everyone is

[34:15] feeling about this I think there's just

[34:16] one missing piece um that is how the

[34:19] union feels we get that confirmation

[34:21] from them and then we move forward

[34:24] I do hear what you're saying but

[34:28] um Mr Lafond who oversees the entire

[34:32] operation of our garbage pickup

[34:35] um is supportive of it has said that it

[34:38] won't affect what the folks that are

[34:42] under his supervision will have to do

[34:44] and I think that Mr palmetti um I think

[34:46] you cleared it as well with the company

[34:48] that it doesn't it doesn't in any way

[34:51] um impact the work of the folks

[34:55] it won't make any difference I mean in

[34:57] terms of their work so

[35:00] um so I just

[35:02] I do feel like we're dragging our feet I

[35:04] mean because I I mean it was an evening

[35:06] of my surgery that this first came up so

[35:09] it's how many weeks ago

[35:11] um it's several committee meetings ago

[35:13] that that was in just

[35:18] December September that was in September

[35:20] it was first presented for September I

[35:23] was President it was a presentation yeah okay Mr palamini I guess I don't

[35:29] really disagree with 99 of what you said

[35:32] I'll take it there you go so

[35:35] um I guess the one issue I have is we're

[35:39] presupposing a grievance with the Union

[35:43] where there is now so there's a process

[35:46] in place if they have an issue to bring

[35:49] agreements forward

[35:51] so we are assuming there's a problem

[35:54] before there's a problem

[35:57] so

[35:58] let's move forward if there's an issue

[36:01] they'll bring It Forward there's a

[36:03] process in place for them to do that

[36:06] and take care of the issue

[36:10] well I I don't see this as as presuppose

[36:13] I don't see it's presupposing there's

[36:15] going to be a grievance what I said was

[36:16] that they reached out and wanted to to

[36:18] hear about it prior to the to us making

[36:21] this that is what I said and so if that

[36:25] would in my opinion if that would so

[36:27] they know what's going to happen and

[36:28] what will or not happen what we will or

[36:31] will not do will avoid their being a

[36:34] grievance but to have to inform a group

[36:37] of people who are going to be a part of

[36:39] this process I don't think it's the

[36:41] worst thing that we could do

[36:48] I was just reiterating like I don't

[36:51] think that we're you know assuming that

[36:54] there will be a grievance I'm certainly

[36:55] not saying that what I'm saying is that

[36:57] hey make an informed decision by

[36:59] discussing all parties involved it's

[37:02] probably is the best practice

[37:04] thankfully and luckily it seems like

[37:06] we're all pretty much aligned with the

[37:07] support of the program as long as it's

[37:10] um can operate within the parameters

[37:12] that needs to so again talk to the union

[37:14] move forward and all as well

[37:19] [Music]

[37:24] so at this point in time um there was

[37:26] motion it was not second and we'll bring

[37:28] it back in two weeks after the mayor has

[37:30] had the conversation with you

[37:37] item number four uh division uh one of

[37:40] the latest uh ladies order of hypernians

[37:42] in all people's viruses sentence

[37:43] Schenectady for the feast of Saint

[37:45] Patrick is Patrick yes this is our

[37:48] annual resolution celebrating uh St

[37:52] Patrick's Day

[37:53] um along with the Ancient Order of

[37:55] fibernians so it'll be here uh will they

[37:59] I don't know if there's any good dancers

[38:01] this year that they they normally bring

[38:02] the Step dancers but

[38:05] um

[38:06] so that's that's what this is so we just

[38:08] have ceremony resolution

[38:11] so second all is a favor

[38:14] aye

[38:16] um the agenda for property sales
