00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,179 shows the city has has continued to 237 00:18:45,179 --> 00:18:46,860 improve so from an accounting standpoint 238 00:18:46,860 --> 00:18:48,480 it felt that the conventional patrols 239 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,760 were very good and the city is uh the 240 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,500 cities accounting information is 241 00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:53,760

--> 00:21:14,820 further explanations and the reason for 303 00:21:14,820 --> 00:21:16,799 this is that we have this time limit to 304 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:18,480 send things to different parts of 305 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,340 government and we have certain number of 306 00:21:20,340 --> 00:21:22,919 ways right that our audit has to be 307 00:21:22,919 --> 00:21:25,080 complete and accepted by that's why 308 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,539 we're asking to move it along forward 309 00:21:27,539 --> 00:21:30,000 so we can hit make all our dates for all 310 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,500 our

00:21:44,700 is financial statement so I think there 317 00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:46,860 is still some time to go over results 318 00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:48,419 and if there's any questions I think 319 00:21:48,419 --> 00:21:49,980 that's you know that could be 320 00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:52,620 appropriate if that's 321 00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:53,740 um 322 00:21:53,740 --> 00:22:14,770 [Music] 323 00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:17,460 additional time to go over this uh send 324 00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:18,960 questions back to me if there's any 325 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,159 concerns as you're going

00:22:34,080 um so I don't think there's anything to 333 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,400 preclude you from accepting them tonight 334 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,020 but if you if you wanted that

what 673 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,420 we typically do in business areas with 674 00:37:18,420 --> 00:37:19,700 sidewalk work 675 00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:22,200 and now they have passed into their 676

00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:41,460 this project is going to be uh semi a 686 00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:42,960 complete streets project we are going to 687 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,119 be doing curb and sidewalk 688 00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:46,740 um however 689 00:37:46,740 --> 00:37:48,420 you know sidewalks are a controversial 690 00:37:48,420 --> 00:37:51,000 thing so to speak and you know for our 691 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,800 residents we usually want our residents 692 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,980 to do a petition and then pay for them 693 00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:58,560 out of pocket so uh you know 694 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,420 conversations with Metroplex have came 695 00:38:00,420 --> 00:38:02,220 to be that you know for the most 696 00:38:02,220 --> 00:38:03,720 Equitable and fair of things for all 697 00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:05,520 residents is that if we're going to do a 698 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,320 downtown business development and 699 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,119 sidewalks are involved that the city 700 00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:11,700 would do curbing roadway we're doing 701 00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:13,440 drainage on this project all the things 702 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,599 that we would expect the city to do but 703 00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:17,640 then when it comes to sidewalks which we 704 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,140 some mostly put on the residents 705 00:38:19,140 --> 00:38:21,420 Metroplex offers us these Grant 706 00:38:21,420 --> 00:38:22,980 agreements this is very similar to what 707 00:38:22,980 --> 00:38:24,720 we did on South Church Street where 708 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,339 Metroplex in the city did that project 709 00:38:26,339 --> 00:38:28,079 as well so that 710 00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:29,579 um that we kind of have this Equity so 711 00:38:29,579 --> 00:38:30,839 that we can say that we're you know 712 00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:32,220 talking out of both sides of our mouths 713 00:38:32,220 --> 00:38:33,839 when it comes to oh it's always downtown 714 00:38:33,839 --> 00:38:35,820 it's always development so we have a 715 00:38:35,820 --> 00:38:37,200 Development Authority we're partnering 716 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,119 with them to get you know projects done 717 00:38:39,119 --> 00:38:40,619 like this which I think has been very 718 00:38:40,619 --> 00:38:41,700 successful 719 00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:44,880 okay any other questions how about this 720 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,740 second all's in favor 721 00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:50,099 um I'm number 12 award-winning contract 722 00:38:50,099

00:39:42,550 um 736 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,839 the numbers were uh fairly competitive 737 00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:47,940 and they were within our estimate 738 00:39:47,940 --> 00:39:50,520 um this is a program that we fund uh 739 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,079 solely with our state money which is 740 00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,480 Chip's money we get several allocations 741 00:39:54,480 -->

with the property owners put 773 00:41:17,940 --> 00:41:19,079 together 774 00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:19,680 um 775 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,720 the bin package this one will get a 776 00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:22,859 little bit different we actually have 777 00:41:22,859 --> 00:41:25,200 each individual property owner with our 778 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,839 own little piece of drawing in there we 779 00:41:27,839 --> 00:41:30,060 haven't done that before just to try to 780 00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:32,640 make it more easy for people to digest 781 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,280 and then under the new program what 782 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,599 we're going to be doing is taking their 783 00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:38,760 own near feet of Frontage plus their 784 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,579 lead walks and adding that together and 785 00:41:41,579 --> 00:41:43,619 then multiplying that by the 55 dollars 786 00:41:43,619 --> 00:41:46,740 per foot that was approved and that will 787 00:41:46,740 --> 00:41:49,680 be the no number that is assessed that 788 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,420 is what did not make it I actually have 789 00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:53,520 it I just 790 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,240 did not put it in that was my fault I am 791 00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:59,339 going to distribute that and try to work 792 00:41:59,339 --> 00:42:01,200 with Diane Runkle who's been leading it 793 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,460 on the street in some of the 794 00:42:02,460 --> 00:42:03,540 neighborhood residents that we're 795 00:42:03,540 --> 00:42:05,220 working on to kind of show them what the 796 00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:06,960 cost would be 797 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,760 um I kind of I'm kind of in a gray area 798 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,140 here how we want to move forward with 799 00:42:10,140 --> 00:42:13,020 this though do we want to have them 800 00:42:13,020 --> 00:42:14,700 approve anything or are we moving 801 00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:16,560 forward with it and the assumption that 802 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,660 everyone's going to pay because they did 803 00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:20,099 the petition I just want to make sure 804 00:42:20,099 --> 00:42:23,339 that we're in step with our next point 805 00:42:23,339 --> 00:42:24,599 of this because this is something that 806 00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:25,980 they're going to be assessed the cost 807 00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:29,280 and they haven't seen the cost yet 808 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:30,540 hmm 809 00:42:30,540 --> 00:42:32,700 so should we update them on the cost 810 00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:33,960 again 811 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,800 is it a mailer is it I guess that's what 812 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,200 how many houses or how many families you 813 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:40,859 know 814 00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:42,000 how many people are we talking about 815 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,859 there's roughly 20 on each side there's 816 00:42:43,859 --> 00:42:46,200 an apartment unit there a large one um 817 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,579 you know there are some changes that 818 00:42:47,579 --> 00:42:49,680 people view but I'd say right around 40 819 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,800 but again under the new rules where it's 820 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,740 going to be the fixed cost per foot it's 821 00:42:55,740 --> 00:42:57,780 not like there should be big surprises 822 00:42:57,780 --> 00:43:06,309 or people or 823 00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:09,720 the residents in this neighborhood all 824 00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:12,900 were expecting no assistance 825 00:43:12,900 --> 00:43:16,079 um and the fees were quite High when we 826 00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:17,940 were talking with them 827 00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:21,000 um now that it's a set price at 55. 828 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,740 they're thrilled that they're actually 829 00:43:22,740 --> 00:43:25,260 getting some sort of assistance from the 830 00:43:25,260 --> 00:43:26,520 city 831 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,280 um yeah I think we move forward I think 832 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,500 it's important to tell them what their 833 00:43:31,500 --> 00:43:34,440 exact costs are whether they're let it 834 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,540 but I think it's also important to move 835 00:43:36,540 --> 00:43:38,760 forward because this has been several 836 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,280 years in the making and I think they're 837 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,589 very much looking for that 838 00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:48,650 it's making me 839 00:43:48,660 --> 00:44:05,230 that's what I usually do 840 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:07,740 they're not they're aware of the 55 but 841 00:44:07,740 --> 00:44:09,480 they're not aware of the actual like I 842 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,160 haven't given them the document I have 843 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,780 the document but I was waiting for the 844 00:44:12,780 --> 00:44:15,000 bids and I have not distributed it and 845 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,640 I've kind of got a lot of pots on the 846 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,140 fire here and I just did not get to that 847 00:44:19,140 --> 00:44:20,760 step yet before this one but they know 848 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,500 what they're possibly basically they do 849 00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:24,060 not know at this time because I haven't 850 00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:26,160 distributed that sheet it's an Excel 851 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,079 spreadsheet similar to camp in Ardsley 852 00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,180 Road I've created it it was meant to be 853 00:44:30,180 --> 00:44:32,220 in here but it didn't make it into here 854 00:44:32,220 --> 00:44:33,480 and then I was going to distribute it 855 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,880 okay but they do know that the 55 they 856 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,800 know that they just don't know correct 857 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,960 they will estimate their footage but and 858 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,740 chair the one area the council still has 859 00:44:46,740 --> 00:44:49,020 to decide on is what we offer the 860 00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:52,079 residence is upon completion of this the 861 00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:54,780 homeowner can pay the full bill so 862 00:44:54,780 --> 00:44:58,380 uh with the tax bill at the end of the 863 00:44:58,380 --> 00:45:03,359 year or enter into a financing mechanism 864 00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:06,180 over some period of time which is still 865 00:45:06,180 --> 00:45:08,339 at the discretion of the council so that 866 00:45:08,339 --> 00:45:10,859 you're going to have to decide uh it's 867 00:45:10,859 --> 00:45:13,680 going to be 10 years is it 15 years 868 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,980 uh so there may be some comments from 869 00:45:16,980 --> 00:45:19,200 the residents that they want a shorter 870 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,410 period they want a longer period 871 00:45:24,420 --> 00:45:26,040 and I did speak with commissioner 872 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,490 Ferrari we have known 10 years 873 00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:33,300 right but we haven't talked about by 874 00:45:33,300 --> 00:45:34,980 extending it to a minimum 15 maybe 875 00:45:34,980 --> 00:45:36,480 because the life of the concrete is 876 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,280 longer than 15. all right so we'll need 877 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,859 to take that up Mr motivara so yeah I 878 00:45:40,859 --> 00:45:42,839 have to agree in terms of modifying them 879 00:45:42,839 --> 00:45:44,700 so they actually have a way around the 880 00:45:44,700 --> 00:45:46,859 real cause 881 00:45:46,859 --> 00:45:48,900 um 10 years we have actually given 10 882 00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:50,640 years to be out of two four three 883 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,000 projects I suggest I mean we do the same 884 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,099 10 years and they can come in and pay 885 00:45:56,099 --> 00:45:58,800 off you know before that your time oh 886 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,780 yes we need to notify that okay despite 887 00:46:00,780 --> 00:46:03,660 the fact because it's 55 let them know 888 00:46:03,660 --> 00:46:17,290 the exact positive 55 a week 889 00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:19,619 so it is time to 890 00:46:19,619 --> 00:46:21,359 um we need a motion to move it forward 891 00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:25,500 so second all those in favor 892 00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:27,839 uh item number 14 award-bidden contract 893 00:46:27,839 --> 00:46:30,240 for the Central Park a diamond lighting 894 00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:34,800 okay this was a harpa allocation 500 000 895 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,740 to install 896 00:46:36,740 --> 00:46:38,940 Collegiate level lighting at the a 897 00:46:38,940 --> 00:46:40,680 diamond as most of you probably recall 898 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,839 we used to have lightning on the a 899 00:46:42,839 --> 00:46:46,500 diamond it was outdated non-functioning 900 00:46:46,500 --> 00:46:49,740 lighting we've decided to upgrade it and 901 00:46:49,740 --> 00:46:52,560 we have engaged with cha sports and 902 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,359 recreation they put together a bid 903 00:46:54,359 --> 00:46:56,640 package which we put out the bid was 904 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,280 higher than the arpa funding 716 905 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,319 thousand dollars we did get three bids 906 00:47:01,319 --> 00:47:05,220 two of the bids were quite uh close one 907 00:47:05,220 --> 00:47:08,160 of the bidders was the pool electrician 908 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,599 who wanted to bid it and they were 909 00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:11,400 actually the second bidder so stilson 910 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,319 does the majority of electrical work in 911 00:47:13,319 --> 00:47:14,700 the area like this that usually do 912 00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:16,560 signals and things like this and the 913 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,480 third bit I would guess is almost like a 914 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,740 fishing attempt if you're going to pay 915 00:47:19,740 --> 00:47:22,200 me terrific I'll do the work but you 916 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,119 know you can see that number 917 00:47:24,119 --> 00:47:25,020 um 918 00:47:25,020 --> 00:47:28,500 we don't think that this is a you know 919 00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,960 this is the market price number we think 920 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,599 the only way to save money over 921 00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:35,400 something like this was to be to 922 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,440 redesign and go to a high school level 923 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,319 of lighting however we think that that 924 00:47:40,319 --> 00:47:42,780 limits us because if we are Collegiate 925 00:47:42,780 --> 00:47:45,599 level that opens us up to what we have 926 00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:47,700 now which is Brian Stratton it offers us 927 00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:49,680 a Sienna Union College who we've you 928 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,540 know with with like at one point 929 00:47:51,540 --> 00:47:53,760 discussed coming back so 930 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,280 um we do have a capital fund that we set 931 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,460 up uh for facility work that has enough 932 00:47:59,460 --> 00:48:01,980 capacity to cover the balance 933 00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:03,900 so if you're okay with it we'd like to 934 00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:05,400 move forward with this 935 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,579 question 936 00:48:07,579 --> 00:48:10,380 all those in favor bye 937 00:48:10,380 --> 00:48:12,660 item number 15 award bitten contract for 938 00:48:12,660 --> 00:48:14,339 the Michigan Avenue ball field uh 939 00:48:14,339 --> 00:48:18,300 baseball field wall okay this um is a 940 00:48:18,300 --> 00:48:20,339 project that is a conglomerate project 941 00:48:20,339 --> 00:48:24,180 it is both arpa and a little bit of 942 00:48:24,180 --> 00:48:25,859 thriving neighborhoods done with the 943 00:48:25,859 --> 00:48:28,140 Schenectady foundation so this was 944 00:48:28,140 --> 00:48:30,180 originally uh put in for the you know 945 00:48:30,180 --> 00:48:32,400 arpa with a little bit of that which is 946 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,319 that the Schenectady Foundation has 947 00:48:34,319 --> 00:48:36,240 awarded them some money to when we are 948 00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:38,640 done with this project and creating this 949 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,520 level area off of Norwood they will come 950 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,859 in and put picnic tables or Pavilion as 951 00:48:43,859 --> 00:48:45,920 a gathering space for the Little League 952 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,839 we did it as a base bid with an adult 953 00:48:48,839 --> 00:48:50,819 but we decided to go with the base bin 954 00:48:50,819 --> 00:48:52,680 because it's a it's you know we're a 955 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:53,940 municipality so things get a little bit 956 00:48:53,940 --> 00:48:55,440 more than you pay for if you were doing 957 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,839 it privately but we do see the Merit in 958 00:48:57,839 --> 00:49:00,060 this the wall will be about chest high 959 00:49:00,060 --> 00:49:02,819 for 100 feet long Norwood Avenue it'll 960 00:49:02,819 --> 00:49:04,319 allow them to level out the top it'll 961 00:49:04,319 --> 00:49:05,640 have a decorative fence and they're 962 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,380 going to look to like I said grade the 963 00:49:07,380 --> 00:49:09,000 top of it and then put some of the 964 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,640 numbers in recognition of previous ball 965 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,240 players that have played there in Maloy 966 00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,280 we've worked with them before they've 967 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,619 been a great contractor we got several 968 00:49:19,619 --> 00:49:22,079 bits so we're comfortable moving forward 969 00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:24,180 are there any questions uh well the 970 00:49:24,180 --> 00:49:25,859 second I wasn't there 971 00:49:25,859 --> 00:49:28,250 um 972 00:49:28,260 --> 00:49:30,720 item number 16 discussion waiver of 973 00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,359 apprenticeship requirement for the gulf 974 00:49:33,359 --> 00:49:36,319 irrigation installation Contracting so 975 00:49:36,319 --> 00:49:39,000 uh I'm in a position now where we are 976 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:40,980 designed and ready to move forward with 977 00:49:40,980 --> 00:49:44,400 the bid package for the uh scooties golf 978 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,619 course the issue that we are running 979 00:49:46,619 --> 00:49:50,339 into is a conflict of we would like to 980 00:49:50,339 --> 00:49:55,980 we have in our bid spec qualifications uh you have to have done 981 00:49:55,980 --> 00:49:58,079 this in the past we like someone that 982 00:49:58,079 --> 00:50:00,900 has done Golf Course irrigation for five 983 00:50:00,900 --> 00:50:03,240 years who's installed you know a minimum 984 00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:05,720 of five irrigation systems in the past 985 00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:09,000 and the issue we have is that this is 986 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,760 specialty work on the contractors that 987 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,040 we're hoping bid one is in New York 988 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,380 state one is in Pennsylvania one is in 989 00:50:16,380 --> 00:50:18,420 Nebraska those are the three main 990 00:50:18,420 --> 00:50:21,480 players for it the work does not 991 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,599 necessarily fit into a common trade I 992 00:50:24,599 --> 00:50:26,280 did talk with the New York State 993 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,819 Department of Labor they said that there 994 00:50:29,819 --> 00:50:32,339 is irrigation mentioned under 995 00:50:32,339 --> 00:50:34,619 um specialty craft and laborers however 996 00:50:34,619 --> 00:50:36,900 in that definition which I I should have 997 00:50:36,900 --> 00:50:38,160 brought to show you it's under 998 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,160 Landscaping so it's in the building 999 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,940 section so essentially you know building 1000 00:50:43,940 --> 00:50:48,660 parking lot grass bushes landscaping and 1001 00:50:48,660 --> 00:50:50,819 then it says under their irrigation this 1002 00:50:50,819 --> 00:50:54,480 in my interpretation is not that this is 1003 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,819 a golf course irrigation it has data low 1004 00:50:56,819 --> 00:50:58,920 voltage communication since it's low 1005 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,359 voltage communication it does not 1006 00:51:00,359 --> 00:51:03,180 require an electrician that would have 1007 00:51:03,180 --> 00:51:05,940 if if it had required an electrician we 1008 00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:07,319 wouldn't have then we could have used an 1009 00:51:07,319 --> 00:51:09,420 electrician this is low voltage lines 1010 00:51:09,420 --> 00:51:14,880 the system is actually going to be it's not even comparable to the system 1011 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,920 that we have now each head will be 1012 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,420 individually programmed so we can put 1013 00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:20,460 water on the course at any point it's 1014 00:51:20,460 --> 00:51:22,140 all linked to a computer software 1015 00:51:22,140 --> 00:51:24,240 backend program 1016 00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:26,760 um it'd be amazing if we had it in now 1017 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,579 because the course is dry and we're 1018 00:51:29,579 --> 00:51:31,140 having issues keeping the course green 1019 00:51:31,140 --> 00:51:34,140 right now with our manual system but 1020 00:51:34,140 --> 00:51:36,059 that is what I wanted to talk with you
