York State DOT or X State uh this is our

33
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:02,820
chips money we get an annual allocation

34
00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:04,860
every year

35
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:06,420
um sometimes it varies depending on the

36
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:07,700
state budget

37
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:10,980
this year we are getting a standard

38
00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:12,959
chips program along with extreme winter

39
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:14,519
recovery uh

40
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,820
top which is uh pave our potholes paved

41
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:20,279
New York and the state touring route the

42
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:23,100
total of all funding sources is 4.8

43
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,800
million dollars and total change

44
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,019
um

45
00:11:27,019 --> 00:11:29,579
this is uh the largest allocation that

46
00:11:29,579 --> 00:11:32,160
we've gotten the biggest note is the

47
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,260
state touring route money which this

48
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,839
year was around two million dollars that

49
00:11:36,839 --> 00:11:39,420
is a new allocation in the budget for

50
00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:40,800
the last couple years and is not

51
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,519
guaranteed in the future so

52
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,680
you know I don't I don't know if uh if

53
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,120
they do know they take it away what's

54
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,620
gonna what's gonna happen I'm sure once

55
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:51,600
you give someone missed Palace all over

56
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,640
the state money like that it's going to

57
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,220
be harder to take it away but I just

58
00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:57,360
wanted to make sure that you're aware

59
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,860
that was a new allocation about three

60
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:00,959
years ago which is why our totals are so

61
00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:11,590
high

62
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,100
Woodland Preserve

63
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,320
this is a

64
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,100
State Grant administered by dazny

65
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:21,660
this was I believe both of these grants

66
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:22,860
were

67
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:24,240
um

68
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,480
oh I've got a stick's office uh sorry

69
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,980
just took me a second this particular

70
00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:30,600
Grant we needed some money to do some

71
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,700
re-establishment in the Woodlawn

72
00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:36,420
preserve for habitat and um they had a

73
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:39,000
municipality who remained nameless that

74
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,579
was not active on the list of using this

75
00:12:41,579 --> 00:12:43,980
money so it was reallocated to us as we

76
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:46,980
had a need we will be using this to do

77
00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:48,600
some stump work which we've already

78
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,180
awarded and we're also going to be using

79
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:53,399
it to do some preservation creation for

80
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,800
the Lupine hopefully with the carnival

81
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,540
butterfly then some trail maintenance

82
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:00,600
and some work all in The Preserve so

83
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,200
this is to the agreement has been signed

84
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,000
that we have to accept the money Finance

85
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,160
won't move unless we accept the money so

86
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:18,250
that's what this is

87
00:13:18,260 --> 00:13:20,639
yep so the friends of the greenhouse

88
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:22,560
working in cooperation with Cornell

89
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,680
Cooperative they apply for received a

90
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,019
Sam Grant through Stax office for 125

91
00:13:28,019 --> 00:13:31,620
000 they originally wanted to use it for

92
00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:32,820
a

93
00:13:32,820 --> 00:13:35,100
Pavilion

94
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:36,720
um and to use it as a pavilion area

95
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,540
however they decided that it would be

96
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:41,700
better served to their mission statement

97
00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:44,220
if they remove the existing Greenhouse

98
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:47,160
number four and install a new Greenhouse

99
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,420
which they're calling a teaching

100
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:50,760
Greenhouse the current greenhouses are

101
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,920
not large enough to hold classes and

102
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,220
work on tables so this new Greenhouse

103
00:13:56,220 --> 00:13:58,860
would allow them to do more teaching and

104
00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:00,540
educational events

105
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:01,980
screen

106
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:03,740
questions

107
00:14:03,740 --> 00:14:06,899
a little bit second all in favor all

108
00:14:06,899 --> 00:14:10,810
right thank you thank you

109
00:14:10,820 --> 00:14:15,860
the next item is authorization to enter

110
00:14:15,860 --> 00:14:18,540
Schenectady Community Action Program for

111
00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:27,050
rental assistance replacing cbub

112
00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:29,040
good evening everybody

113
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,560
um we are looking to allocate some of

114
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,860
our unspent cdbgcb funding towards

115
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:38,459
rental assistance with scap we know that

116
00:14:38,459 --> 00:14:40,800
with the e-wrap funding kind of ending

117
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,620
and some of the esgc Lee funds that

118
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:45,360
we've allocated for rental assistance

119
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,160
have been have been spent and they're

120
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,079
really if there's a gap right now in

121
00:14:49,079 --> 00:14:50,880
terms of funding available for rentals

122
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,100
rental assistance so we're just

123
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,500
requesting to allocate this funding for

124
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:56,880
that purpose

125
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,220
um scap also wrote up a narrative of

126
00:14:59,220 --> 00:15:00,959
some of the issues of the challenges

127
00:15:00,959 --> 00:15:03,240
that they're facing and trying to solve

128
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,060
we think it's a good use of the funding

129
00:15:05,060 --> 00:15:08,100
and also in line with what our plan was

130
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,980
for cdbgcb in terms of neighborhood

131
00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:12,660
stabilization

132
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:14,519
um so we're just looking for to

133
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,199
authorize the mayor to enter a contract

134
00:15:16,199 --> 00:15:18,720
with skep for them not to exceed amount

135
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,850
of 200 000 for rental assistance

136
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:25,880
questions go ahead please thank you so

137
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,500
scap will be actually paying rent that's

138
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,000
in their areas

139
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,060
yes do they have like I don't see the

140
00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:34,740
exact guidelines do you know like how

141
00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:36,480
many months is there uh you know how

142
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,760
they're usually it's just three months

143
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,740
um yeah they have we could send you the

144
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:42,839
pro their program guidelines if that's

145
00:15:42,839 --> 00:15:44,040
something you want to see I don't know

146
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,139
all the details but I know typically

147
00:15:46,139 --> 00:15:49,500
it's a three-month period but with the

148
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:51,600
CV money I think it can be up to six

149
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,940
months okay yeah because people have

150
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:55,860
asked about you know how this program is

151
00:15:55,860 --> 00:15:57,360
going to work because I said we've got

152
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,220
other requests for legislation to do

153
00:15:59,220 --> 00:16:00,839
something kind of similar so I just want

154
00:16:00,839 --> 00:16:02,519
to know how this program worked and you

155
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:04,980
know and maybe have an idea of how many

156
00:16:04,980 --> 00:16:06,779
households I think they did say how many

157
00:16:06,779 --> 00:16:09,600
households 52 yep and so how long this

158
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,220
money would actually last and if you

159
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:13,199
didn't mean to look at something so it's

160
00:16:13,199 --> 00:16:14,579
not it's not going to be a new program

161
00:16:14,579 --> 00:16:15,839
it's actually it's just going to be

162
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:17,339
building on what they're already doing

163
00:16:17,339 --> 00:16:18,779
for rental assistance but it's just

164
00:16:18,779 --> 00:16:21,240
providing some more funding for it it's

165
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,040
not a new program it's in line with what

166
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,899
they've been doing

167
00:16:24,899 --> 00:16:28,920
um and and you know the the guidelines

168
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,800
would remain pretty much the same like I

169
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,820
just want to get a sense of how long

170
00:16:32,820 --> 00:16:34,279
this one would last

171
00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:36,360
yeah yeah

172
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,720
um and I I don't like I said I don't

173
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,480
know all the details but I do think that

174
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,940
they were estimating that right now you

175
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:50,220
know they they could be spending up to a

176
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:51,959
hundred thousand per month

177
00:16:51,959 --> 00:16:55,920
um in rental assistance so

178
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,079
um I don't want to say we can get the

179
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:00,180
details but that is what I've been you

180
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:02,100
know what our discussions have reflected

181
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,319
so it's definitely High need yeah it's

182
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,260
definitely great to have the details

183
00:17:06,260 --> 00:17:12,799
thank you for your um

184
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:15,419
identification of this program and just

185
00:17:15,419 --> 00:17:17,220
how they can fill this need that is so

186
00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:19,020
vascular in our community based on your

187
00:17:19,020 --> 00:17:22,860
conversations with uh the sky would you

188
00:17:22,860 --> 00:17:28,439
say that this 200 000 fully meets the gaps that have been identified or

189
00:17:28,439 --> 00:17:31,080
where it is not I don't think there's

190
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,880
any amount of money that could probably

191
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,700
be the gaps with you know as we all know

192
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:38,460
after the eviction works are lifted and

193
00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:40,080
just everything that has come with that

194
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,320
there is a need that we definitely um

195
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,480
can't meet on our own you know we do

196
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,980
have access to some other funding but

197
00:17:46,980 --> 00:17:48,840
we're trying to be a partner and making

198
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,000
sure that we're doing what we can

199
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,419
um and because we have the CV funding

200
00:17:54,419 --> 00:17:56,580
um available and we need to spend that

201
00:17:56,580 --> 00:17:58,679
down as well it's I think it's just a

202
00:17:58,679 --> 00:18:01,260
great boost for it and then it follow-up

203
00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:02,940
question uh would it be appropriate then

204
00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:04,740
in getting your recommendation for us to

205
00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:07,080
uh potentially when you look at

206
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,020
evaluating applying funds to help fill

207
00:18:10,020 --> 00:18:12,360
up that Gap as well

208
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:14,580
I think that would probably take some

209
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:17,400
review and would be you know

210
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,799
discussion to to consider with the mayor

211
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:23,400
and Council thank you

212
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,760
so um I think that this is great I think

213
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,500
that that there's a Clarity in the

214
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:30,900
community so I'm totally supported that

215
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:33,480
um my question is can come to your

216
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,980
limited scope or through your

217
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:36,240
conversation with scap are they gonna

218
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,039
like do you know that is there any way

219
00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:39,660
that they can take this money kind of

220
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:42,360
Leverage it to maybe apply for MoneyGram

221
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,580
money do they have it yes I I did that

222
00:18:44,580 --> 00:18:46,980
is what you know I I know that they do

223
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:48,660
that with all the funding we provide and

224
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:50,700
they get you know there's different ways

225
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:52,200
it can be leveraged and they're always

226
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,480
really good about you know not having a

227
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,940
sole source but trying to

228
00:18:56,940 --> 00:18:58,440
um you know build out a plan that

229
00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,820
leverages the funding they receive

230
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:01,500
because I think it's good for people to

231
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:03,780
know that if we're talking about 200

232
00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:06,480
Grand and it's such a great need that

233
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,400
this money will be leveraged hopefully

234
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,559
to hold more to to meet their need and

235
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,179
you know hopefully not right and

236
00:19:12,179 --> 00:19:13,919
hopefully you know the state will also

237
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:16,380
come out with some more resources

238
00:19:16,380 --> 00:19:18,000
um being made available for the purpose

239
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,380
because it is definitely a high need

240
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:24,789
thank you go ahead please I I

241
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:27,419
Rodriguez say that era was going to open

242
00:19:27,419 --> 00:19:28,620
back up

243
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:30,080
that

244
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,260
uncertain but it's possible yeah right

245
00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:36,080
now

246
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,419
absolutely but you you know it may yeah

247
00:19:39,419 --> 00:19:41,280
I think like I said I think the state is

248
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,539
going to have to do something whether

249
00:19:42,539 --> 00:19:45,240
it's e-wrap or another source

250
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,559
um I could see that happening yeah

251
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:52,140
go ahead in terms of the guidelines is

252
00:19:52,140 --> 00:19:53,760
Gap and if you don't know this if you

253
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,740
could find out so if there's individuals

254
00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:57,059
who

255
00:19:57,059 --> 00:19:58,740
um whose income didn't change but

256
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:00,299
because there was legislation saying

257
00:20:00,299 --> 00:20:01,679
they didn't have to pay their rent and

258
00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:03,660
therefore we didn't so they have

259
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:05,160
guidelines to look at that to make sure

260
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,140
that anyone who whose income remained

261
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:08,820
the same would still not be timed

262
00:20:08,820 --> 00:20:10,679
because it just didn't pay that I mean

263
00:20:10,679 --> 00:20:12,120
do they would they be able to have

264
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,580
access to this as well

265
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:16,860
I would imagine that in their intake

266
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:18,299
process they would collect that that

267
00:20:18,299 --> 00:20:21,200
kind of documentation

268
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,640
that's important I mean if people added

269
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,500
the uh the ability which simply didn't

270
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,539
do it then you know this should really

271
00:20:27,539 --> 00:20:29,340
be for people who just didn't have the

272
00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:31,320
means because they their loss of income

273
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,840
or whatever the case was yeah and so I

274
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,520
would like to know specifically I mean

275
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,900
at the end of the day I think it's

276
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:38,520
related directly to homeless prevention

277
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,520
so and I don't want to speak for scout

278
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,039
but I would think if that were the case

279
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:45,660
but someone's still facing homelessness

280
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:47,400
because now they don't have a place to

281
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,100
live and they would apply you know and

282
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,200
I'm not sure exactly how they they read

283
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,000
through those things but if someone's

284
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,260
facing homelessness they're facing

285
00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:57,840
homelessness yeah it's my understanding

286
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,340
I think we should consider like

287
00:20:59,340 --> 00:21:01,860
prioritizing people who did it so we can

288
00:21:01,860 --> 00:21:04,400
talk about that but if you can find them

289
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,070
thank you

290
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,240
do you want that as a condition on the

291
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,860
money well I would certainly like to

292
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:15,360
take a look at that mayor because you

293
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:18,120
know these people who by know you know I

294
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,919
understand so that was what you're

295
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:21,799
saying just wondering if you want that

296
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:26,780
in there I'd like this to move ahead and

297
00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:29,400
so the review might take a longer period

298
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,679
of time so if it was the condition was

299
00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:33,799
that this is going to go to individuals

300
00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:36,780
whose income is adversely affected

301
00:21:36,780 --> 00:21:41,400
because of covid whatever as opposed to

302
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,640
people who may have made what I'll call

303
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,740
Poor choices in terms of managing their

304
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:48,020
resources

305
00:21:48,020 --> 00:21:50,640
just put it in the resolution going

306
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,919
forward as opposed to holding it up for

307
00:21:52,919 --> 00:21:55,799
additional review well I would

308
00:21:55,799 --> 00:21:57,600
definitely say that for me that needs to

309
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,480
be a priority

310
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,380
I would say

311
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:03,360
um you know once this gets approved then

312
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:04,980
we still have to do the contract with

313
00:22:04,980 --> 00:22:07,500
scam and come up with the agreement so I

314
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,179
think that there is an opportunity to

315
00:22:09,179 --> 00:22:12,000
you know to include you know the things

316
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,799
that that the council in there would

317
00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:15,840
like in the in the agreement

318
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,900
forward but I just wanted to make sure

319
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:20,880
that we're not trying to manage scaff I

320
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,500
think they have the expertise the years

321
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,100
of working with this population

322
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:28,559
I think that you know they've done an

323
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:31,320
amazing job for decades I think I can't

324
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,260
be specific about that but

325
00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:36,240
um you know I think that if we give them

326
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,919
the money I think what we're saying is

327
00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:41,580
we trust your background We Trust what

328
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:43,980
you've been doing in our community to

329
00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:45,419
help especially the most vulnerable

330
00:22:45,419 --> 00:22:47,240
population that's facing homelessness

331
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,880
and eviction so I just want to caution

332
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,400
against putting too many restrictions on

333
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,960
the funding moving forward and I know

334
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,539
that's my non-profit hat sitting on my

335
00:22:57,539 --> 00:22:59,780
shoulders but you know

336
00:22:59,780 --> 00:23:02,460
I appreciate that that comment I think

337
00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:04,260
that um you know they're the ones who

338
00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:05,820
are kind of boots on the ground dealings

339
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:08,870
but

340
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,280
um you know certainly if there is a

341
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,520
prior prioritization we would also just

342
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,320
have to make sure that ethically they

343
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,140
can Implement that and it would be you

344
00:23:19,140 --> 00:23:20,940
know something to discuss let me just be

345
00:23:20,940 --> 00:23:22,799
clear I don't first this is a once in a

346
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:24,000
lifetime thing called what is and I

347
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,440
don't think we're micromanaging but as

348
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,539
funders we do get to say that our money

349
00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:29,460
should be spent in the best way possible

350
00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:30,960
people

351
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,179
um their income didn't change and they

352
00:23:33,179 --> 00:23:34,500
didn't pay the rent I think that the

353
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,840
people whose income did change should be

354
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,760
on the top of the list to make sure that

355
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,679
they get the help Miss Tia has already

356
00:23:40,679 --> 00:23:42,000
said there's way more people out there

357
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,440
than even money so we should be

358
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,200
prioritizing those by who by no fall

359
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,880
through their own we're not able to meet

360
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,520
their obligations

361
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:56,820
I hear what you're saying but I just

362
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:59,340
emphasize that you know I really trust

363
00:23:59,340 --> 00:24:00,659
the work that they're doing and I think

364
00:24:00,659 --> 00:24:02,760
that they probably do have those kinds

365
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,679
of priorities Etc

366
00:24:04,679 --> 00:24:06,720
um that they face on a day-to-day basis

367
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,080
so I just want more effects

368
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,220
I was just going to add it seems like

369
00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:13,380
again it's another situation of

370
00:24:13,380 --> 00:24:13,980
um

371
00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:16,520
yes in all right so we look at whatever

372
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,799
parameters that scap has existing

373
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:21,600
um and if those existing parameters

374
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,840
don't satisfy that from areas to this

375
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,940
being covered then we can you know talk

376
00:24:26,940 --> 00:24:28,559
with them about about that language but

377
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:30,900
I'm pretty sure that everyone would

378
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:32,640
agree that we want to impact the people

379
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,400
with the highest uh need and I think

380
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,080
that's kind of part of that so if we do

381
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,380
that there's a way to look at their

382
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:42,179
existing processes I'm sure that they

383
00:24:42,179 --> 00:24:44,220
have made some adjustments due to

384
00:24:44,220 --> 00:24:46,140
um covet as well and if not we can just

385
00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:47,340
say hey you know we want to make sure

386
00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:49,020
how do we ensure that this is we're

387
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:50,520
using this to really impact the people

388
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,140
the mostly and I think everyone will be

389
00:24:52,140 --> 00:24:53,880
talking kind of the same language when

390
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,250
it comes to that

391
00:24:57,260 --> 00:24:59,520
and this has a point of reference all

392
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,140
these common Council when they pass

393
00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:03,240
similarities of legislation designated

394
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,520
money for this population who need they

395
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,900
could apply a certain number of

396
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:08,460
restrictions so it's not anything that

397
00:25:08,460 --> 00:25:09,900
we're doing that's in common I

398
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:11,760
definitely understand uh council

399
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,679
president porterfield's position and I

400
00:25:13,679 --> 00:25:14,400
think as long as we do that

401
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,900
collaborative release we make sure that

402
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:18,480
we're meeting our needs as a council but

403
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,820
also adhering to their functionality I

404
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:22,799
think it is something that we can do in

405
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,299
streamline that without affecting the

406
00:25:24,299 --> 00:25:27,909
people that need the money

407
00:25:27,919 --> 00:25:30,419
I just do want to say that we also did

408
00:25:30,419 --> 00:25:33,120
give them um funding for homeless for

409
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,640
covet support for homeless people um

410
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,980
during the aqua discussion so I just

411
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:39,539
wanted to remind everybody about that as

412
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:40,380
well

413
00:25:40,380 --> 00:25:43,559
all right any other companies concerns

414
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:46,700
may have a motion to remove this some

415
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:50,240
water removing we're moving

416
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:57,789
good point we're moving to fun

417
00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:02,010
without the provisions

418
00:26:02,020 --> 00:26:03,919
[Music]

419
00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:06,480
going to provide the documents do you

420
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,000
request it no so what I'm asking I'm not

421
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,860
necessarily asking for those documents

422
00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:12,360
but I want us to be able to have those

423
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:14,460
priorities in our contract that we say

424
00:26:14,460 --> 00:26:16,679
we like it prioritized in this way is

425
00:26:16,679 --> 00:26:18,779
that possible you can put whatever yeah

426
00:26:18,779 --> 00:26:19,980
you can put those prescriptions around

427
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:22,320
can you can just be explicit with what

428
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,539
it's going to be subject to terms where

429
00:26:24,539 --> 00:26:27,779
you know I don't want to take words out

430
00:26:27,779 --> 00:26:29,640
of you know the mouths of any of the

431
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,679
council people if there are terms that

432
00:26:31,679 --> 00:26:33,720
you're going to require in there outside

433
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,760
of what's being proposed coming from the

434
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,080
development department in the mayor's

435
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,419
office on this I just would like you to

436
00:26:39,419 --> 00:26:41,640
just obviously be you know tell me

437
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,310
exactly what it's going to be subject to

438
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,279
so it doesn't seem like that would hold

439
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,380
this up at all it seems like we can we

440
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:54,120
could move forward with this and then at

441
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:55,919
the appropriate time where you know

442
00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:57,419
there there could be some added language

443
00:26:57,419 --> 00:26:59,039
if need be because there might be

444
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:00,840
language that's existing you should

445
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,740
probably tell me what the criteria is

446
00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:07,140
one solution to go forward so what I

447
00:27:07,140 --> 00:27:08,580
would like to see in the resolution is

448
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:10,860
that that they prior I'm not saying that

449
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:12,840
other people can't benefit but the

450
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,240
priority means to those who face are

451
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,340
facing homelessness because their loss

452
00:27:17,340 --> 00:27:19,740
of income or whatever it was and

453
00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:21,480
um by no fault to Rome and those whose

454
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,700
income didn't change

455
00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:26,700
um they would need their priority well I

456
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:28,380
won't say they wouldn't get um help at

457
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:30,659
all but the priority would be to those

458
00:27:30,659 --> 00:27:32,760
who had loss of income or facing

459
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,320
homeless as a result of that and there

460
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,760
was no change in their income and

461
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,799
ability to pay and that's what's causing

462
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:40,730
this

463
00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:42,779
I'll

464
00:27:42,779 --> 00:27:44,100
always forget that I understand what

465
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:45,419
you're saying I think the population

466
00:27:45,419 --> 00:27:47,159
we're talking about is all extremely low

467
00:27:47,159 --> 00:27:49,740
income so even if they didn't have a

468
00:27:49,740 --> 00:27:52,080
change in income they're still extremely

469
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,720
low income

470
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,460
I hear what you're saying yeah

471
00:27:56,460 --> 00:27:59,220
I mean the fact is there's some people

472
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:01,200
who I've heard said that you know didn't

473
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,520
have to pay rent didn't pay rent because

474
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,720
they didn't have to pay rent not because

475
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:04,740
they didn't have the ability to pay

476
00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:06,720
around so that's not uh I'm not

477
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,220
anecdotal I mean I hear what you're

478
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:10,200
saying but we can't I'm sorry but I just

479
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,179
don't think that scalp I mean I really

480
00:28:12,179 --> 00:28:16,380
trust that scap is is expertise um Miss

481
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:18,840
diode and her her staff's expertise in

482
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,400
working with them

483
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,620
um I would I would not want to vote for

484
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:23,760
something that would put additional

485
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,580
restrictions in but I know that will

486
00:28:26,580 --> 00:28:28,200
happen next week so

487
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,360
um I don't I'm not on this committee

488
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,940
so move it with the understanding to add

489
00:28:32,940 --> 00:28:37,750
those to uh those languages

490
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,760
I'm not I think that we should be helping people that really need the help in in this

491
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,260
situation final software they're all

492
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:49,370
that's how I see this

493
00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:51,720
cool nature to play what

494
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,600
um

495
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,480
the subject to so authorizing this

496
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,480
agreement subject to uh placing language

497
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,760
within the agreement stating that the

498
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,059
funding will be prioritized for people

499
00:29:06,059 --> 00:29:10,919
who are facing homelessness

500
00:29:10,919 --> 00:29:14,880
due to loss of income not

501
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,140
with due to no fault of their own

502
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:21,059
that's essentially what I've gathered

503
00:29:21,059 --> 00:29:23,159
from that

504
00:29:23,159 --> 00:29:25,740
go ahead again is it any fault of their

505
00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:27,899
own that inflation has has increased

506
00:29:27,899 --> 00:29:30,120
prices of everything around us I mean I

507
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,100
just feel like that's a very I don't

508
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:34,080
know how we make those judgment calls

509
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,299
nor do I think that I want to make that

510
00:29:36,299 --> 00:29:39,779
judgment call The Challenge if I may I

511
00:29:39,779 --> 00:29:42,179
think the challenge will be

512
00:29:42,179 --> 00:29:43,580
well

513
00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:46,140
certainly the intent

514
00:29:46,140 --> 00:29:47,820
from the council or members of the

515
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:50,940
councils there when scap is dealing with

516
00:29:50,940 --> 00:29:52,620
somebody they're now having to make that

517
00:29:52,620 --> 00:29:56,700
determination on whether or not the this

518
00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:58,559
is somebody's fault or not somebody's

519
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:01,860
fault when using these resources and

520
00:30:01,860 --> 00:30:03,779
obviously I think there may be a level

521
00:30:03,779 --> 00:30:06,059
of subjectivity on whether or not

522
00:30:06,059 --> 00:30:08,760
somebody's responsible for their

523
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,640
circumstances

524
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,320
so I think there there is there may be

525
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,320
some difficulty in their operations in

526
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,940
determining who gets the funds and who

527
00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:19,320
doesn't because

528
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,059
you know everybody's gonna have a story

529
00:30:21,059 --> 00:30:23,760
when they come in right so I I think

530
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,140
where we might be getting hung up on

531
00:30:25,140 --> 00:30:27,179
Amazon around the language of fault of

532
00:30:27,179 --> 00:30:30,419
their own I think that if that if we are

533
00:30:30,419 --> 00:30:32,039
delinquishers that we are going to

534
00:30:32,039 --> 00:30:35,520
prioritize people who have um had loss

535
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,559
of income and facing homelessness I

536
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:39,779
think that I would imagine that that's

537
00:30:39,779 --> 00:30:40,799
probably

538
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:43,200
really in line with what scap is doing

539
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,419
anyway and sufficient enough language

540
00:30:45,419 --> 00:30:47,220
that we're gonna

541
00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:49,020
therefore that would get you out you

542
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:50,220
know out of that place I think that

543
00:30:50,220 --> 00:30:51,299
you're talking about now you're in the

544
00:30:51,299 --> 00:30:53,159
group you're like now we're being really

545
00:30:53,159 --> 00:30:54,299
uh

546
00:30:54,299 --> 00:30:56,179
yeah

547
00:30:56,179 --> 00:30:58,440
we're making no judgment calls but I

548
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,399
think that the intention is just

549
00:30:59,399 --> 00:31:00,659
prioritize people who needed the most

550
00:31:00,659 --> 00:31:04,520
due to Lost income that's fine

551
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,779
it doesn't have to be false if they're

552
00:31:06,779 --> 00:31:09,419
wrong it's a subject of prioritizing the

553
00:31:09,419 --> 00:31:11,340
funds for people who are facing

554
00:31:11,340 --> 00:31:12,960
homelessness due to loss of income

555
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,330
during covet is that

556
00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:20,460
however Ms Patrick that doesn't satisfy

557
00:31:20,460 --> 00:31:22,460
her well no I was sometimes

558
00:31:22,460 --> 00:31:24,899
not on this subcommittee

559
00:31:24,899 --> 00:31:26,760
um I just stand with what I've what I've

560
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,260
previously said

561
00:31:28,260 --> 00:31:30,240
um and I just really know that

562
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,940
population is you know

563
00:31:32,940 --> 00:31:35,399
that's good yeah I was just gonna say I

564
00:31:35,399 --> 00:31:38,279
mean um I think if I were to reach out

565
00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:40,620
and get some comment from scat that

566
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:42,779
might resolve the issue if we know

567
00:31:42,779 --> 00:31:48,590
specifically what is is happening but

568
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,730
so are we going to move forward

569
00:31:54,740 --> 00:31:58,919
I understand the support Field's point I

570
00:31:58,919 --> 00:32:02,039
actually agree with it the problem I

571
00:32:02,039 --> 00:32:05,279
have is how to improve loss of income

572
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:08,159
in a lot of ways I mean some people will

573
00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:10,260
be able to other people won't

574
00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:13,919
and if we're waiting for steps

575
00:32:13,919 --> 00:32:15,500
information

576
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:19,080
why not just move it forward

577
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,310
as is

578
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,140
and just move forward because apparently

579
00:32:25,140 --> 00:32:28,080
they have some sort of guidelines

580
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,460
and I'd like to make sure that the

581
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:30,899
guidelines are including that and I

582
00:32:30,899 --> 00:32:32,760
would love to have seen them today

583
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,210
um

584
00:32:37,220 --> 00:32:40,799
just because it's it's I don't know how

585
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:43,559
many of you I mean I'm just know that

586
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:45,000
it's happening that there are people who

587
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,500
just landlords have been complaining

588
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:48,360
that people have not lost their income

589
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,460
and are still not paying me rent we've

590
00:32:50,460 --> 00:32:52,200
heard from the landlords so I just want

591
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,520
to make sure that as we're helping

592
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,200
people we're helping those priorities

593
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,299
and those who are not in that situation

594
00:32:57,299 --> 00:32:58,799
if you've ever been to any landlord

595
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:00,480
meetings you'll hear it all the time

596
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,020
you have a this program that's capital I

597
00:33:04,020 --> 00:33:05,580
mean Brooklyn is they've been doing this

598
00:33:05,580 --> 00:33:06,919
for years

599
00:33:06,919 --> 00:33:09,720
so at least they have something in place

600
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,380
to carry on this program right so yeah

601
00:33:13,380 --> 00:33:15,059
they've just seen they've been doing it

602
00:33:15,059 --> 00:33:17,519
over here we've been following it

603
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:19,860
so I don't doubt that but I just want to

604
00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:22,620
make sure that people who didn't pay

605
00:33:22,620 --> 00:33:24,299
them because they don't want to aren't

606
00:33:24,299 --> 00:33:25,640
the ones

607
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,559
please

608
00:33:27,559 --> 00:33:30,899
so we can we can get a copy of the

609
00:33:30,899 --> 00:33:32,519
guidelines or how to go about doing it

610
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:39,009
for us

611
00:33:39,019 --> 00:33:41,039
let's get this money out there the

612
00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:42,360
contract signed whatever they've been

613
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,580
doing it we've been funding it for a

614
00:33:44,580 --> 00:33:46,860
long time let's see but let's just pass

615
00:33:46,860 --> 00:33:48,779
it as it is without any restrictions on

616
00:33:48,779 --> 00:33:49,679
the money

617
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:51,419
at this point

618
00:33:51,419 --> 00:33:58,009
there's a restrictions

619
00:33:58,019 --> 00:34:00,539
without arm restrictions

620
00:34:00,539 --> 00:34:03,120
so it seems like we could

621
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,159
potentially move forward right now

622
00:34:05,159 --> 00:34:07,980
getting it out of committee

623
00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:11,220
um as it is right now and

624
00:34:11,220 --> 00:34:13,740
explore what guidelines that scap has

625
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:16,679
existing and so those two things can

626
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,679
happen right yes okay so it seems like

627
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:22,500
we're wrong I have one other question so

628
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:24,839
if if doesn't have those five ones then

629
00:34:24,839 --> 00:34:27,179
if scat doesn't say

630
00:34:27,179 --> 00:34:29,280
if that's not part of it that's my

631
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,139
question to the council actually not Mr

632
00:34:31,139 --> 00:34:34,070
Young

633
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,820
I guess you'd vote against it next week

634
00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:44,149
giving them the funding um

635
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:45,540
guidelines

636
00:34:45,540 --> 00:34:48,300
if they're not and I doubt but they

637
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:54,470
would be not I'm sorry I don't weather

638
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,159
so that's what we can use the same

639
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,080
guidelines that they have currently to

640
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,599
administer this one right so my question

641
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:02,700
is if they don't have the guidelines

642
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:04,859
saying that there was no you know a

643
00:35:04,859 --> 00:35:06,000
person who didn't pay rent just because

644
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,920
they didn't pay rent because you could

645
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:08,940
find that information out from the

646
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:10,500
landlord or from wherever they get you

647
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:12,420
know they're um not having homelessness

648
00:35:12,420 --> 00:35:14,119
anymore

649
00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:18,890
that's my question

650
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:20,780
well with the council move this ahead

651
00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:24,420
does the uh could check tomorrow to see

652
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:27,240
what the criteria is and their General

653
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:29,640
Conformity on that

654
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,220
have it ready to go for next Monday

655
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:33,660
night

656
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:35,700
as long as the general as long as that's

657
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:37,619
there that's that's just my concern I've

658
00:35:37,619 --> 00:35:39,000
heard from the landlord's been to other

659
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,920
meetings about how people are not paying

660
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,140
their rent and have the ability

661
00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:45,060
so just want to make sure the people who

662
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:46,619
don't pay the rent because they couldn't

663
00:35:46,619 --> 00:35:48,180
make sure they get the benefit from this

664
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:51,540
Mr Coleman if I can make a suggestion

665
00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:53,940
um moving ahead as it was presented

666
00:35:53,940 --> 00:35:55,500
tonight

667
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:58,260
um subject to obviously receiving you

668
00:35:58,260 --> 00:36:01,020
know the the guidelines that they have

669
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:04,680
already set up and if they are not the

670
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,599
guidelines that the council generally

671
00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:10,020
agrees with obviously can you know at

672
00:36:10,020 --> 00:36:11,520
the time of the resolution there would

673
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,040
be time you vote on it then the

674
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,160
languages are there you can always you

675
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,839
know make an amendment to the resolution

676
00:36:18,839 --> 00:36:19,920
to add

677
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,140
language that the council generally

678
00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:24,020
would be comfortable with

679
00:36:24,020 --> 00:36:27,000
and again hopefully we don't get to that

680
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,920
point hopefully those guidelines that

681
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,500
Scott followers are going to you know be

682
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:35,170

so yeah I asked the rooms to be put back

705
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:32,579
on the agenda we haven't talked about in

706
00:37:32,579 --> 00:37:34,740
several months to see where we are with

707
00:37:34,740 --> 00:37:36,359
the contracts how much money has been

708
00:37:36,359 --> 00:37:39,000
expended not just allocated but actually

709
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,339
spent so

710
00:37:41,339 --> 00:37:43,619
um I asked for it from we have and you

711
00:37:43,619 --> 00:37:45,119

00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:48,240
from the finance department and then

713
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,579
Miss Diaz can just tell us the contacts

714
00:37:50,579 --> 00:37:52,500
are at this point

715
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,020
um yeah so we've executed three of the

716
00:37:55,020 --> 00:37:56,280
contracts

717
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,900
um that we have for the development

718
00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:00,300
projects um specifically

719
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:02,579
um the other there's there's four more

720
00:38:02,579 --> 00:38:04,740
that are kind of in the final stages of

721
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:07,920
just you know negotiations with bcni and

722
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,900
for um seat Center and for the

723
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,000
Schenectady Foundation

724
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,640
um the remaining projects we're still

725
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,740
waiting for the pre-contract

726
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:18,599
requirements to be met so for people to

727
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:21,180
actually submit the documentation to go

728
00:38:21,180 --> 00:38:22,920
to contract

729
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,820
um and then there are other ones where

730
00:38:26,820 --> 00:38:29,520
we have gotten no response

731
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,579
um I think the Aquatic Center is one

732
00:38:32,579 --> 00:38:33,540
um

733
00:38:33,540 --> 00:38:35,579
so I mean you know I'm not gonna I

734
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:36,900
wasn't going to go through line by line

735
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:38,880
but essentially we've executed three

736
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,619
contracts we have four that are pretty

737
00:38:40,619 --> 00:38:42,180
much ready to go

738
00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:43,920
um and then the remaining is either has

739
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,380
contingencies or we're waiting um on the

740
00:38:46,380 --> 00:38:48,720
pre-contract requirements we have had

741
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:52,440
communication with most of the projects

742
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,640
um

743
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,740
you know in response to the pre-contract

744
00:38:55,740 --> 00:38:57,780
questions and things like that so it's

745
00:38:57,780 --> 00:38:59,339
been ongoing communication but we're

746
00:38:59,339 --> 00:39:01,260
just waiting for those those items to be

747
00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:03,060
able to move forward these three

748
00:39:03,060 --> 00:39:04,440
contracts that we have we already

749
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,920
executed uh the YWCA for their critical

750
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,280
Capital needs State Inc for Steakhouse

751
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,859
and um Bethesda House of Schenectady for

752
00:39:13,859 --> 00:39:17,280
the Care House support housing

753
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,079
and those were three that were kind of

754
00:39:19,079 --> 00:39:21,480
critical needs as well so

755
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,619
um

756
00:39:22,619 --> 00:39:24,780
it was good that they've been been

757
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:30,910
executed

758
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,450
okay

759
00:39:34,460 --> 00:39:39,079
please can we get a listing of the

760
00:39:39,079 --> 00:39:41,520
contracts that have not provided any

761
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,339
responses to you yep the only reason why

762
00:39:44,339 --> 00:39:45,900
I believe that is I think we should be

763
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:47,640
proactive with money that's returned

764
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,280
back and try to identify additional

765
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,400
needs which include new projects for

766
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,500
consideration or how do we triage what

767
00:39:55,500 --> 00:40:07,030
has already been submitted

768
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,040
so I know that the green Mark in

769
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,420
particular says that they'd sent their

770
00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:15,000
information in so is there a like a time

771
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,220
frame when they can expect that or if

772
00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:20,099
you have one off the top of your head um

773
00:40:20,099 --> 00:40:22,260
information

774
00:40:22,260 --> 00:40:24,900
as far as I'm aware okay

775
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:27,599
so okay so it would be kind of a

776
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:41,349
specific discussion okay

777
00:40:41,359 --> 00:40:43,800
so all the things up here like the

778
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,079
empowerment program none of that would

779
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:48,300
be included in materials in terms of

780
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:50,820
that that's all City stuff yes the city

781
00:40:50,820 --> 00:40:58,130
stuff is not we're not overseeing okay

782
00:40:58,140 --> 00:41:00,480
all right um and then the other reason

783
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,859
for bringing this forward I'm sure that

784
00:41:01,859 --> 00:41:03,960
you maybe I'm not sure but it may have

785
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,000
heard um I had a conversation with Mr

786
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,220
Ferrari last week that there was some

787
00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:09,720
conversation that the federal government

788
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:11,520
might be trying to claw back some money

789
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,320
if money wasn't spent from not just

790
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,820
Schenectady but other other

791
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:16,380
municipalities so I just want to make

792
00:41:16,380 --> 00:41:18,359
sure that they're like being on top of

793
00:41:18,359 --> 00:41:20,820
making sure the money's allocated and

794
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:22,859
spent so that that doesn't um apply to

795
00:41:22,859 --> 00:41:24,240
us he didn't give us the specific

796
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:25,800
guidelines maybe

797
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,020
um Derek knows those I don't know but I

798
00:41:28,020 --> 00:41:29,460
just wanted to you know let everyone

799
00:41:29,460 --> 00:41:31,020
know that that's happening that's at

800
00:41:31,020 --> 00:41:33,839
least been a conversation so we don't

801
00:41:33,839 --> 00:41:35,099
want that to happen you never want to

802
00:41:35,099 --> 00:41:36,720
give back grant money or have it taken

803
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,579
back from you so

804
00:41:38,579 --> 00:41:40,320
um so we really should be like moving

805
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,440
ahead and um also I guess this is really

806
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,140
a question for the mayor in terms of um

807
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:47,940
will we be able to hire a consultant to

808
00:41:47,940 --> 00:41:50,040
help oversee some of these these

809
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,420
projects

810
00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:53,520
I know that we discussed it like months

811
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,900
ago you said that that was in the works

812
00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,300
can we continue to review it at this

813
00:41:57,300 --> 00:41:59,220
point we've not hired anybody but we're

814
00:41:59,220 --> 00:42:01,260
still moving through the process of

815
00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:03,660
getting contracts in place and then

816
00:42:03,660 --> 00:42:05,220
being able to administer and going

817
00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:07,609
forward

818
00:42:07,619 --> 00:42:09,720
um so when we I know that we also losing

819
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,480
somebody from development so is that

820
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,859
something we can do you know more

821
00:42:13,859 --> 00:42:15,060
quickly I know that he's been really

822
00:42:15,060 --> 00:42:17,099
involved with with doing it so it seems

823
00:42:17,099 --> 00:42:18,359
like um

824
00:42:18,359 --> 00:42:19,800
density

825
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,320
okay

826
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,480
um so that seems like it's like more of

827
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,339
a critical need now that we're losing

828
00:42:26,339 --> 00:42:28,800
another person again in a conversation

829
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,599
with Mr Ferrari said that he would be

830
00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:34,400
able to manage this in the short term so

831
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,900
we can continue to do ongoing

832
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:39,780
Recruitment and move forward this

833
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:41,700
process of getting the contracts in

834
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:43,560
place

835
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,140
and so I guess in in terms of writing

836
00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:47,520
the contracts is that coming out of the

837
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:53,940
Law Department has drafted a

838
00:42:53,940 --> 00:42:56,339
contract that can be used pretty much

839
00:42:56,339 --> 00:42:59,160
for all of the projects involving

840
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,040
outside agencies

841
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,359
we're working though with development

842
00:43:03,359 --> 00:43:05,160
when they have to be

843
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,780
um you know I think tailored to the

844
00:43:06,780 --> 00:43:10,260
particular project so I know we've been

845
00:43:10,260 --> 00:43:13,560
working with Miss Dia and Mr Gray in

846
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,809
terms of doing that fine Tailoring

847
00:43:17,819 --> 00:43:20,220
so this does that mean you provided them

848
00:43:20,220 --> 00:43:21,839
a template and they're just filling in

849
00:43:21,839 --> 00:43:23,099
the blanks because you provided them

850
00:43:23,099 --> 00:43:25,140
with the time with and

851
00:43:25,140 --> 00:43:26,819
um they've done asked questions about

852
00:43:26,819 --> 00:43:28,980
you know if if something has to be

853
00:43:28,980 --> 00:43:30,720
tailored for a particular project or

854
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,300
particular agency we've done stuff in to

855
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:35,819
provide assistance

856
00:43:35,819 --> 00:43:37,560
and then we review it before it gets

857
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:43,010
finalized for the mayor

858
00:43:43,020 --> 00:43:45,440
so how about I guess how

859
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,119
is it in terms of your office able to be

860
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:49,920
able to generate all this stuff is I

861
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,720
mean if it's uncomfortable to talk about

862
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:53,880
publicly let me know but

863
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,220
I mean you know we just have to come up

864
00:43:56,220 --> 00:43:59,220
with the program and what the guidelines

865
00:43:59,220 --> 00:44:01,319
are and just all of the details and that

866
00:44:01,319 --> 00:44:02,940
takes time you know I think it takes

867
00:44:02,940 --> 00:44:04,560
time with any contract that we do

868
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,540
because of all the stimulus funding yeah

869
00:44:06,540 --> 00:44:08,460
it's a lot you know it's a lot more that

870
00:44:08,460 --> 00:44:11,760
both development and law have to

871
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:12,420
um

872
00:44:12,420 --> 00:44:14,819
you don't have to have to make work

873
00:44:14,819 --> 00:44:18,829
so yeah it's you know

874
00:44:18,839 --> 00:44:20,760
I don't know what else to say about yeah

875
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,980
it's a lot it's a lot of extra work

876
00:44:22,980 --> 00:44:24,720
um but we were trying to manage it

877
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,640
accordingly

878
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,510
um

879
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,500
I think a lot of it also happens once

880
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:33,960
the contracts are executed just ensuring

881
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,880
compliance making sure that people are

882
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,500
reporting that's going to be the biggest

883
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:39,180
because everybody's going to want to see

884
00:44:39,180 --> 00:44:40,619
you know the council is going to want to

885
00:44:40,619 --> 00:44:43,020
see it what did the ARP of funding that

886
00:44:43,020 --> 00:44:46,260
we allocated what did it do right we

887
00:44:46,260 --> 00:44:47,880
want to be able to track that so that

888
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,400
happens later on once the money's

889
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,200
actually being spent a lot of it's not

890
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,880
happening early on it's just getting the

891
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,700
documentation as the seat said and

892
00:44:56,700 --> 00:44:58,140
reaching out to the organization is

893
00:44:58,140 --> 00:44:59,700
trying to make sure that you know if

894
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:01,319
they have funding contingencies that

895
00:45:01,319 --> 00:45:03,359
they haven't lined up so we have a

896
00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:05,160
better sense of is this project going to

897
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,480
move forward is it not going to move

898
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,920
forward

899
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,829
mm-hmm

900
00:45:12,839 --> 00:45:15,780
please I appreciate

901
00:45:15,780 --> 00:45:16,579
um

902
00:45:16,579 --> 00:45:18,900
I don't imagine any Department that's

903
00:45:18,900 --> 00:45:20,099
going to get up there and say we're

904
00:45:20,099 --> 00:45:22,560
drowning and I appreciate it more

905
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,079
definitely comes at a cost and

906
00:45:25,079 --> 00:45:27,720
definitely that that cost is the

907
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:29,099
teamwork that you're doing and your

908
00:45:29,099 --> 00:45:30,420
ability to do it efficiently and

909
00:45:30,420 --> 00:45:32,280
effectively and that's something that we

910
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,500
have to weigh but for myself I think

911
00:45:34,500 --> 00:45:36,119
whenever a year given whenever I'm

912
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:38,220
giving more tasks what helps is seeing

913
00:45:38,220 --> 00:45:39,780
the light at the end of the tunnel I'm

914
00:45:39,780 --> 00:45:41,460
sorry Mr Mayor you said that you're in

915
00:45:41,460 --> 00:45:43,200
the stages of bringing on a Consulting

916
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,460
service if you wouldn't mind just

917
00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:47,339
clarifying what stage are you vetting

918
00:45:47,339 --> 00:45:49,859
applicants are you receiving applicants

919
00:45:49,859 --> 00:45:51,660
or where's yeah if you don't mind I've

920
00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:55,260
extended an offer to one person who

921
00:45:55,260 --> 00:45:57,260
enjoying the planning department staff

922
00:45:57,260 --> 00:46:00,420
anticipate that happening the next

923
00:46:00,420 --> 00:46:01,880
couple of weeks

924
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,859
again Mr Ferrari is telling me that he's

925
00:46:04,859 --> 00:46:06,500
able to

926
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:09,540
handle this in the short term

927
00:46:09,540 --> 00:46:12,660
and then depending on

928
00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:15,060
what I'll say the complexity of some of

929
00:46:15,060 --> 00:46:18,540
the contracts whether we would use some

930
00:46:18,540 --> 00:46:20,280
of the Consultants that we already have

931
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,020
under contract

932
00:46:22,020 --> 00:46:24,780
the engineering department whether

933
00:46:24,780 --> 00:46:27,849
there's

934
00:46:27,859 --> 00:46:30,420
building buildings it's different than

935
00:46:30,420 --> 00:46:34,800
it's a program delivery and so

936
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,859
as we move through this it stole

937
00:46:37,859 --> 00:46:39,900
somewhat fluid in terms of what the

938
00:46:39,900 --> 00:46:43,980
actual demand will be in how complex it

939
00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:45,900
will be

940
00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:48,180
at this point we haven't gotten a lot of

941
00:46:48,180 --> 00:46:49,800
the information back so that we're able

942
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,200
to enter into contracts

943
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,680
you know that is moving forward

944
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:01,250
thank you

945
00:47:01,260 --> 00:47:02,940
well would it be helpful to have a

946
00:47:02,940 --> 00:47:05,040
Consultants to win the follow-up that's

947
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,380
like like these people who aren't you

948
00:47:07,380 --> 00:47:08,880
know sitting in their context for

949
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,440
whatever reason if you may need texts

950
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,480
you support would it be helpful for that

951
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,160
I understand what Mr Colden is saying

952
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,260
that at the end they need somebody to do

953
00:47:16,260 --> 00:47:19,859
with the compliance but we're not only

954
00:47:19,859 --> 00:47:21,599
are we giving them a timeline we're also

955
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:23,160
operating on a timeline and that this

956
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,839
money has to be allocated and then spent

957
00:47:24,839 --> 00:47:27,900
by a certain time so the law where we it

958
00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:30,540
lingers out there then you know we're in

959
00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:32,819
um Jeopardy of not either having it

960
00:47:32,819 --> 00:47:35,700
taken back or not being able to spend it

961
00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:36,839
um in the way that we initially

962
00:47:36,839 --> 00:47:39,119
allocated it so does it make sense now

963
00:47:39,119 --> 00:47:42,000
for us to be looking for someone who can

964
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,240
actually follow up with people if if the

965
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:46,920
department of development is not doesn't

966
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:52,190
have the the staff to do it

967
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,920
well yes I am looking at that

968
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,900
the actual contracts that are in place

969
00:47:57,900 --> 00:48:00,540
in our workload that we will staff at an

970
00:48:00,540 --> 00:48:03,859
adequate level to make sure that we can

971
00:48:03,859 --> 00:48:06,060
appropriately administer those to get

972
00:48:06,060 --> 00:48:08,400
the projects done and

973
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,800
have compliance and the money is

974
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:16,390
expended in an appropriate manner

975
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:21,839
okay would you like to see us back in

976
00:48:21,839 --> 00:48:29,829
two weeks please

977
00:48:29,839 --> 00:48:32,660
the next item is the annual Pharmacy

978
00:48:32,660 --> 00:48:36,680
exterior building for the Earth

979
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,819
several years ago we started this

980
00:48:38,819 --> 00:48:41,630
program

981
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,920
and this program has been it's a success

982
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:49,870
story out there in the community

983
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,980
so what I'm looking for because with

984
00:48:52,980 --> 00:48:54,300
your support to continue this

985
00:48:54,300 --> 00:48:56,000
programming this year

986
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,700
and I have this evening Gmail use on the

987
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:02,880
back of documents last year we were able

988
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,980
to give back to our community in 17 000

989
00:49:04,980 --> 00:49:08,180
to 100 million dollars

990
00:49:08,180 --> 00:49:11,940
or exterior building for it and that has

991
00:49:11,940 --> 00:49:14,700
to do with 90 rooms for me at 123 the

992
00:49:14,700 --> 00:49:17,280
jungle four minutes and 29 stands for

993
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:18,300
minutes

994
00:49:18,300 --> 00:49:20,579
so I

995
00:49:20,579 --> 00:49:22,380
because of the success we're getting

996
00:49:22,380 --> 00:49:31,630
from the program I realized so

997
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,750
exterior work of the building

998
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,359
any questions

999
00:49:38,359 --> 00:49:40,500
all in favor

1000
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:42,240
um thank you any other business oral

1001
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:44,040
Finance yeah I just wanted to mention

1002
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,980
one more thing we didn't ask Mr Google

1003
00:49:46,980 --> 00:49:49,920
want to um to speak at all regarding the

1004
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,720
um the financial piece of this is there

1005
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:52,980
anything you wanted to discuss with us

1006
00:49:52,980 --> 00:49:54,720
regarding friends or piece of the arpa

1007
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:58,490
funding is there any questions

1008
00:49:58,500 --> 00:50:03,910
that I sent to you

1009
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:12,410
I'm sorry

1010
00:50:12,420 --> 00:50:20,569
um

1011
00:50:20,579 --> 00:50:24,000
so we have three projects on this list

1012
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,220
that are construction

1013
00:50:25,220 --> 00:50:27,720
uh we have a few that are in the design

1014
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:31,560
base do that on hold and a few that are

1015
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,680
attending if you know more on these

1016
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,859
sites where the project is but if you're

1017
00:50:37,859 --> 00:50:39,300
looking at the numbers where we actually

1018
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:42,119
spent in conferences how much you have

1019
00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:43,859
left over uh

1020
00:50:43,859 --> 00:50:48,480
okay so like specifically when we

1021
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,400
when I said when you sent it I asked the

1022
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,420
email

1023
00:50:51,420 --> 00:50:53,760
um I was looking through all of them I

1024
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,920
was looking specifically it said that I

1025
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,740
mean we know that that's the um General

1026
00:50:57,740 --> 00:50:59,700
Brown's been broken we know that's all

1027
00:50:59,700 --> 00:51:01,740
happened but the one million still sits

1028
00:51:01,740 --> 00:51:04,040
so I was wondering how that

1029
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,099
looks like that

1030
00:51:07,099 --> 00:51:10,920
I mean and basically from what I

1031
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,260
understand it's uh if there's a

1032
00:51:13,260 --> 00:51:14,940
shortfall or if there's another project

1033
00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:17,760
that might be allocated towards the

1034
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,140
certain product from doing this at the

1035
00:51:19,140 --> 00:51:24,430
park

1036
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:29,569
to answer that question for you

1037
00:51:29,579 --> 00:51:31,619
I did but we didn't spend any of it on

1038
00:51:31,619 --> 00:51:33,180
the project is that what you said we

1039
00:51:33,180 --> 00:51:35,880
haven't it's it's been allocated but

1040
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,680
there hasn't been any actual specters

1041
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,140
coming out of that obviously

1042
00:51:40,140 --> 00:51:47,040
okay I will ask Mr wrong because I'm not

1043
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,540
really clear on how that works when the

1044
00:51:48,540 --> 00:51:49,920
actual work has been done we've seen it

1045
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,680
since it's been done so I'm sure

1046
00:51:52,680 --> 00:52:03,170
ready

1047
00:52:03,180 --> 00:52:12,849
foreign

1048
00:52:12,859 --> 00:52:17,460
so you have actual 408 000 617.79 that's

1049
00:52:17,460 --> 00:52:18,960
actually being spent out of that right

1050
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,300
and this is well then

1051
00:52:21,300 --> 00:52:24,300
that that is just a Central Park that's

1052
00:52:24,300 --> 00:52:25,680
just an overall if there's any other

1053
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,599
improvements that are required so it is

1054
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:29,099
to walk away some of the lighting

1055
00:52:29,099 --> 00:52:44,930
movements

1056
00:52:44,940 --> 00:52:45,960
see

1057
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,200
we have uh four million approximately

1058
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:55,309
actual uh 9.5 million conversations

1059
00:52:55,319 --> 00:52:57,319
all right

1060
00:52:57,319 --> 00:53:00,180
good question is this money been

1061
00:53:00,180 --> 00:53:04,619
contracted uh so with the breakout sheet

1062
00:53:04,619 --> 00:53:06,900
I don't know if you have that department

1063
00:53:06,900 --> 00:53:09,240
analysis

1064
00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:12,079
um did you see the codes next to it says

1065
00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:16,140
cn97 so on so forth those are the

1066
00:53:16,140 --> 00:53:18,119
contracts we have otherwise we don't put

1067
00:53:18,119 --> 00:53:23,170
it in our nearest accounting system

1068
00:53:23,180 --> 00:53:27,079

00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:31,099

mayor McCarthy

1102
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,000
comment I just wanted to thank Rose for

1103
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,579
her years of dedication to this board I

1104
00:55:05,579 --> 00:55:06,900
think a lot of people forget that it

1105
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:09,240
functions very much that the intent of

1106
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:11,579
being an objective voice with respect to

1107
00:55:11,579 --> 00:55:13,200
how investigations are completed at the

1108
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,240
police department

1109
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:17,160
sometimes those conversations can become

1110
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,079
a little testy but I appreciate any

1111
00:55:19,079 --> 00:55:20,819
individual that's willing to volunteer

1112
00:55:20,819 --> 00:55:23,339

the last three items will be an

1144
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,500
executive session for property sales so

1145
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:47,940
at this time I'd like to entertain a

1146
00:56:47,940 --> 00:56:52,089
motion for Teresa

1147
00:56:52,099 --> 00:56:54,960
thank you

1148
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,000
I'd like to call to order our government

1149
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,579
operations one item on the agenda and

1150
00:56:59,579 --> 00:57:01,079
you have to go into executive assessment

1151
00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:02,880
for this item

1152
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,240
yeah

1153
00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:08,700
okay good I've submitted the council for

1154
00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:11,339
your approval and then to the collective

1155
00:57:11,339 --> 00:57:15,119
bargaining agreement which

1156
00:57:15,119 --> 00:57:19,089
is

1157
00:57:19,099 --> 00:57:24,490
Executives

1158
00:57:24,500 --> 00:57:28,200
the council has questions if you go into

1159
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,760
executive session and do some things

1160
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,460
that will just be public information on

1161
00:57:32,460 --> 00:57:34,920
it and what the questions

1162
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,390
thank you

1163
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,309
I'm fine

1164
00:57:42,319 --> 00:57:46,619
and one of the components of this which

1165
00:57:46,619 --> 00:57:50,280
we're trying to do across the board is

1166
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,099
under the pay system that has existed in

1167
00:57:53,099 --> 00:57:54,540
the city for as long as people can

1168
00:57:54,540 --> 00:57:55,920
remember

1169
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,980
we pay people

1170
00:57:58,980 --> 00:58:02,339
before they've actually worked so you

1171
00:58:02,339 --> 00:58:06,000
get your paycheck on Thursday for work

1172
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,010
that we hope they'll do on Friday

1173
00:58:10,020 --> 00:58:13,079
everybody works on Friday very hard

1174
00:58:13,079 --> 00:58:14,520
uh

1175
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,059
it's been looked at in the audits it's a

1176
00:58:18,059 --> 00:58:22,079
it's flagged as an item in in this uh

1177
00:58:22,079 --> 00:58:27,180
we're looking to eliminate that so that

1178
00:58:27,180 --> 00:58:29,880
there'll be a lag payroll so the work

1179
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,420
you do this week you will get paid

1180
00:58:33,420 --> 00:58:35,540
next week

1181
00:58:35,540 --> 00:58:38,460
and in that we're going to give the

1182
00:58:38,460 --> 00:58:42,299
employees one extra week of pay at the

1183
00:58:42,299 --> 00:58:44,760
end of the year to balance it out you

1184
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,400
have today in the pay system

1185
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,640
uh

1186
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:53,460
depending on when the calendar is

1187
00:58:53,460 --> 00:58:56,579
that individuals end up with a very

1188
00:58:56,579 --> 00:59:00,079
small paycheck or mid-size paycheck

1189
00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:03,000
almost never you get a full paycheck and

1190
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,980
so it's to balance that out at the end

1191
00:59:04,980 --> 00:59:07,859
of the year negotiated with the Union to

1192
00:59:07,859 --> 00:59:10,079
again

1193
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:12,359
smooth that out at the end and then also

1194
00:59:12,359 --> 00:59:14,880
bring us into compliance so that we'll

1195
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,000
have a lag in the payroll so that it

1196
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,960
will allow for uh

1197
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,000
the elimination of the possibility of

1198
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,440
somebody getting paid and they're not

1199
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,930
actually doing the work

1200
00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:33,720
what's being proposed in the in what you

1201
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,180
have before you is for new as it applies

1202
00:59:36,180 --> 00:59:38,579
right now if you're new buyers

1203
00:59:38,579 --> 00:59:39,900
um we haven't

1204
00:59:39,900 --> 00:59:42,839
come to terms yet with this is obviously

1205
00:59:42,839 --> 00:59:44,839
for CSEA

1206
00:59:44,839 --> 00:59:47,460
like that to apply at some time in the

1207
00:59:47,460 --> 00:59:49,799
future for obviously all employees with

1208
00:59:49,799 --> 00:59:52,980
such a neglective bargaining so as it

1209
00:59:52,980 --> 00:59:55,980
applies now before the new folks coming

1210
00:59:55,980 --> 00:59:59,059
on board for csca

1211
00:59:59,059 --> 01:00:02,700
but the anticipation will be that this

1212
01:00:02,700 --> 01:00:04,500
will eventually apply to everyone we

1213
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:06,119
just have to obviously because we've

1214
01:00:06,119 --> 01:00:07,619
been going through this system for such

1215
01:00:07,619 --> 01:00:09,200
a long time

1216
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,180
figuring out how to exactly get that

1217
01:00:12,180 --> 01:00:15,240
accomplished one and to negotiate an

1218
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,400
agreement with the unions because it is

1219
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,380
such a collective bargaining so that

1220
01:00:19,380 --> 01:00:21,660
will come back to the city council at a

1221
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:24,059
future oil so this is just from the new

1222
01:00:24,059 --> 01:00:26,700
Iris with CSEA

1223
01:00:26,700 --> 01:00:28,440
so this

1224
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,780
makes a lot of sense to me

1225
01:00:30,780 --> 01:00:33,299
um I guess my own question would be

1226
01:00:33,299 --> 01:00:34,680
um it was just something that you know

1227
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,540
what was the function of it operating

1228
01:00:36,540 --> 01:00:38,460
the way that it's operating up until

1229
01:00:38,460 --> 01:00:40,319
this point is that just another one of

1230
01:00:40,319 --> 01:00:41,640
those things that just happened that way

1231
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,660
because they've been happening that way

1232
01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:46,140
or is there uh uh you know some thought

1233
01:00:46,140 --> 01:00:48,180
around this or they just serve a purpose

1234
01:00:48,180 --> 01:00:52,390
I wish I could tell you I'm sorry

1235
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,450
so that it was put in place

1236
01:00:56,460 --> 01:01:00,119
50 years ago six years ago one of those

1237
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:02,099
things is happening yeah and the obvious

1238
01:01:02,099 --> 01:01:04,460
concern is that somebody

1239
01:01:04,460 --> 01:01:06,900
works I don't know gets paid on a

1240
01:01:06,900 --> 01:01:09,180
Wednesday that's it you some people hits

1241
01:01:09,180 --> 01:01:11,160
their accounts on Wednesday for me it's

1242
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,780
a Thursday but some people actually just

1243
01:01:12,780 --> 01:01:14,880
pretend on one set if they're not there

1244
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:16,619
on Friday they would have this mayor

1245
01:01:16,619 --> 01:01:18,240
indicated gotten paid for a day that

1246
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,799
they didn't work which is

1247
01:01:19,799 --> 01:01:23,339
obviously not ideal clearly allows us to

1248
01:01:23,339 --> 01:01:26,390
resolve that issue

1249
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,980
so what other contracts so right now

1250
01:01:28,980 --> 01:01:31,440
this is for CSEA new empires going

1251
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,240
forward when would this come up again

1252
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,299
for other this will apply to all the

1253
01:01:36,299 --> 01:01:38,520
references new employees who will apply

1254
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,220
to all CSEA after the first of the year

1255
01:01:41,220 --> 01:01:43,200
so after

1256
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,299
January 1st or whatever that first paper

1257
01:01:45,299 --> 01:01:48,359
it is everybody will be effectively a

1258
01:01:48,359 --> 01:01:52,200
lag payroll and we're trying to

1259
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,559
negotiate it in the other contracts

1260
01:01:55,559 --> 01:01:58,079
where that is applicable

1261
01:01:58,079 --> 01:02:00,240
so it's not just new hires it's everyone

1262
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,140
it would be new hires between now and

1263
01:02:04,140 --> 01:02:07,559
the end of the year after January 1st

1264
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:10,140
it'll apply to everybody in CSEA

1265
01:02:10,140 --> 01:02:17,270
bargaining units for this agreement okay so um

1266
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,220
that's not how it's written here

1267
01:02:20,220 --> 01:02:28,309
attached to this is the Moss

1268
01:02:28,319 --> 01:02:30,299
any other questions comments as soon as

1269
01:02:30,299 --> 01:02:32,750

1270
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:39,829
[Music]

1271
01:02:39,839 --> 01:02:46,270
so

1272
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,020
second

1273
01:02:48,020 --> 01:02:51,839

01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:03,599
like there's four people in the

1278
01:03:03,599 --> 01:03:05,950
community

1288
01:03:44,339 --> 01:03:49,650
that one says new hires that one says

1289
01:03:49,660 --> 01:03:52,870
[Music]

1290
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,920
all CSE employees will receive an extra

1291
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,079
check so that the employer shall move

1292
01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:00,240
from a Payday

1293
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,740
uh payroll Jewel lag payroll

1294
01:04:04,740 --> 01:04:07,680
