271
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,100
Schenectady Community Ministries is

272
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:36,299
looking forward to this three-year

273
00:19:36,299 --> 00:19:37,799
engagement with the city and other

274
00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:39,179
organizations throughout the community

275
00:19:39,179 --> 00:19:41,880
to address food security

276
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,799
these projects come from what we have

277
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:45,720
learned through the covid-19 pandemic

278
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,820
response and aim to make food access

279
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,980
closer to areas in need and more

280
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:52,559
reliable this looks like sustaining the

281
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:55,440
mobile meals at the pantries and also

282
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,080
depend deepening the community-based

283
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,600
model of urban farming these projects

284
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,179
will impact eight City neighborhoods and

285
00:20:03,179 --> 00:20:04,740
will encourage continual collaboration

286
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:06,720
for food access and overall well-being

287
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,400

legislative agenda closed

00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,440

Patrick all in favor

298
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:30,480
aye

299
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,919
this time we'll have privilege of the

300
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:34,620
floor regarding General City business I

301
00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:39,169
have one person signed up to speak

302
00:20:39,179 --> 00:20:42,720
Leonard dimassi thank you you're welcome

303
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,640
um I'm going to be talking about two

304
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,160
Road situations the first one is Union

305
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,419
Avenue

306
00:20:48,419 --> 00:20:50,700
from Wonderland Avenue right down to

307
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:54,360
Lenox Road the curbing is no longer

308
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,419
functional and since it from Lindell

309
00:20:57,419 --> 00:21:00,360
Avenue down to Lenox Road it's downhill

310
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,440
when it rains

311
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,720
dirt next to the road has been eroded

312
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,380
which stabilizes the curbing the road

313
00:21:10,380 --> 00:21:13,620
and now the road is destabilized

314
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:15,240
breaking away

315
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,299
and one section

316
00:21:18,299 --> 00:21:20,280
um right at the Park Place intersection

317
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,260
the north side

318
00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:26,710
there's actually a hole in the road

319
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,539
it would be the hole then the Curbing

320
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:32,700
and there's actually I think electrical

321
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:36,059
box there and it's about four to five

322
00:21:36,059 --> 00:21:38,039
inches deep

323
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:41,340
so I asked the council to approve

324
00:21:41,340 --> 00:21:42,360
funding

325
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:43,980
so the road doesn't

326
00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:46,740
cause a accident

327
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:49,260
that curbing will be put in there from

328
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:52,919
one Del Avenue down to Lenox Road

329
00:21:52,919 --> 00:21:54,840
I mean from Wendell Avenue down to

330
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Minick Road and Union Avenue

331
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,100
also

332
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:00,960
um

333
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,360
on that street

334
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,340
um they did the intersection which is

335
00:22:05,340 --> 00:22:07,620
very nice

336
00:22:07,620 --> 00:22:10,080
by Ellis Hospital but it should be

337
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,820
extended up

338
00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:14,100
there's sections where you have concrete

339
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:16,679
curbing that's all busted away

340
00:22:16,679 --> 00:22:18,480
and you're only going to end up with the

341
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,520
same situation that you end up on Union

342
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,140
Avenue

343
00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:25,679
and also you also could look as a safety

344
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:27,780
Factor because you have school kids

345
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,240
going to a night of school you should

346
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,980
have at least

347
00:22:31,980 --> 00:22:33,900
something

348
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:35,940
a little safety there

349
00:22:35,940 --> 00:22:38,400
and you don't have to replace it all

350
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,320
there's certain sections that already

351
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,440
have

352
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,179
Granite curving just the sections that

353
00:22:45,179 --> 00:22:46,740
are the busted up concrete you don't

354
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:48,720
have to rip up everything

355
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,179
and then afterwards just pave it all the

356
00:22:51,179 --> 00:22:53,400
way up to the

357
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,320
School

358
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,299
that's all I have to say it's quiet

359
00:22:57,299 --> 00:23:01,260
night today I don't want to get you all

360
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:03,360
talk too much

361
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:05,280

miscellaneous business of the council

365
00:23:23,580 --> 00:23:33,289
Mr Farley

366
00:23:33,299 --> 00:23:38,890
not really

367
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:43,850

Mayor fellow members of city council is

373
00:23:57,659 --> 00:23:59,159

375
00:24:00,299 --> 00:24:01,980

376
00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:03,480
um it was kind of difficult because I

377
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,179
did it uh fill my mind wandering

378
00:24:06,179 --> 00:24:07,980
thinking about

379
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:11,580
um the people of Nashville

380
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:14,760

00:24:21,659 --> 00:24:24,659
got a call that there was a possible

384
00:24:24,659 --> 00:24:27,240
active shooter thank God it wasn't the

385
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,480
situation and Albany mad with um some of

386
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,100
my friends and family happened to be in

387
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:34,200
the building at that time so really just

388
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,760
drove it home

389
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,020
um and I would just say that I'm sure

390
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:39,720
that my fellow council members joined me

391
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,240
in extending our thoughts and prayers to

392
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,220
the families impacted

393
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:46,980
um but I would definitely just say that

394
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:48,960
if our thoughts and prayers are all that

395
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,880
we can offer at this point it's really

396
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,440
not enough

397
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,620
I think that this requires some level of

398
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:58,860
action here in our own Community I don't

399
00:24:58,860 --> 00:25:01,799
think that we can just offer thoughts

400
00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:04,200
and prayers in a way that will allow us

401
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,600
to kind of

402
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,539
experience

403
00:25:09,539 --> 00:25:13,380
that pain with the families and separate

404
00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:15,059
ourselves from the solutions that need

405
00:25:15,059 --> 00:25:17,400
to happen I would just really think that

406
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,679
this is an opportunity for us

407
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:22,620
to really look at our own

408
00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:23,520
um

409
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,720
mental health of our community I think

410
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,820
that you know I would

411
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:32,580
suggesting that we put together a town

412
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:37,080
hall event where we can hear from people

413
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,659
um who are impacted with mental health

414
00:25:39,659 --> 00:25:42,600
issues and mental hygiene issues and

415
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,760
load up a room with you know service

416
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,220
providers and we can talk about the gaps

417
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:49,919
to kind of fill in those gaps or where

418
00:25:49,919 --> 00:25:51,960
gaps of service and accessibility to

419
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,679
Services exists again this is something

420
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:58,620
that I don't think should be political

421
00:25:58,620 --> 00:26:01,020
but today everything's political I think

422
00:26:01,020 --> 00:26:03,779
that sensible gun laws are part of the

423
00:26:03,779 --> 00:26:05,880
issue but that's not even what I'm

424
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,860
talking about now what I'm saying now is

425
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:10,140
something that hopefully everyone and I

426
00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:12,840
mean everyone can join in and support to

427
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,860
really take a a inventory of what

428
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:19,200
services are available and really get a

429
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,179
feel of what's happening in our own

430
00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:23,520
Community because though we haven't had

431
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,520
a tragedy like that happen here we have

432
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,260
experienced some very recent tragedies

433
00:26:28,260 --> 00:26:31,500
and um we need to really make sure that

434
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:33,059
we are creating the conditions where

435
00:26:33,059 --> 00:26:35,100
those things are less likely to occur I

436
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:37,100
feel like that is our one of our

437
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:39,960
strongest obligations and and this is

438
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,179
just another compelling reason as a city

439
00:26:42,179 --> 00:26:44,100
that we get involved I know that there's

440
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:45,299
things

441
00:26:45,299 --> 00:26:48,240
um available in a private sector and

442
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,799
even our County but I think that we

443
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:52,799
really need to host something where we

444
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,200
can be welcoming partners and really

445
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,640
come up with some of the solutions to

446
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,919
make our community safer in that way so

447
00:26:58,919 --> 00:27:01,200
I just want to put that out there this

448
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,299
is not a call to action this is a screen

449
00:27:03,299 --> 00:27:06,960
to action I think we can um imagine what

450
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,000
those families and those communities

451
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,860
that were most impacted are going

452
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:12,240
through because we all should be

453
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,220
impacted by what happened today thank

454
00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:17,940
you Miss Patrick

455
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:21,110

00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:46,260

Madam president I'll yield my time so

468
00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:02,700
that you may set the record here for the

469
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:04,799
shortest meeting

470
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:06,120
I'm not sure if we're going to make that

471
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,020
record

472
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:08,460
um so thank everyone for coming out

473
00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:10,919
again to say thank you and so also to

474
00:28:10,919 --> 00:28:13,200
voice your concerns and Mr Farley

475
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,940
understand what you're talking about and

476
00:28:14,940 --> 00:28:18,000
my condolences to to the community

477
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,059
um Nashville I remember here in the city

478
00:28:21,059 --> 00:28:23,880
where we had a suicide contagion so

479
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,799
where the community came together

480
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:28,980
because of that tragedy that was going

481
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:31,320
on in our community and I have to agree

482
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,419
that for us to be proactive rather than

483
00:28:33,419 --> 00:28:36,720
reactive so I think we should look into

484
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,419
what we can do with all the

485
00:28:39,419 --> 00:28:41,279
organizations that already provide

486
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:43,020
services and those that have those

487
00:28:43,020 --> 00:28:45,179
concerns so um thank you for bringing

488
00:28:45,179 --> 00:28:46,679

00:28:46,679 --> 00:28:48,900
