not all of you so um you know as 135 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,480 general context I would say what this 136 00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:12,359 starts with the federal government what 137 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:15,119 the federal government set as guidelines 138 00:41:12,359 --> 00:41:17,880 and rules for funding affordable housing 139 00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:19,880 is incredibly complicated um and it 140 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:23,640 takes a long time so all of that is 141 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:27,160 within that context so so far um on 142 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:29,640 those uh properties um

168 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,720 money does the state have and how are 169 00:42:31,319 --> 00:42:35,440 they going to do it I think we're this 170 00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:38,359 is going to track towards home ownership 171 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:40,599 opportunity for most of the units um 172 00:42:38,359 --> 00:42:42,319 I'll talk more about that in a 173 00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:44,640 minute 174 00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:46,880 um all right so then the rest of this is 175 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,920 now is 176 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,200 all that's the key stuff that you need 177 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:54,920 to know so the the funding secured to 178 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:58,599 date um the Enterprise funds I mentioned 179 00:42:54,920 --> 00:43:01,000 is $194,000 $960 was

00:43:27,079 budget um and um all right now I don't 186 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:31,640 need my notes anymore I can talk from 187 00:43:27,079 --> 00:43:34,240 here so from this point forward 188 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:37,240 um the local foundations have come in 189 00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:39,119 we've have we have two offers from local 190 00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:41,040 foundations one of them for home 191 00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:43,480 ownership this is a softer one that 192 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:45,760 would be north north of a half a million 193 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:50,160 dollars another one a harder one which 194 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:51,839 would be a seven figure Grant if we used 195 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:56,599 all of the units to 196 00:43:51,839 --> 00:43:59,000 place

00:44:06,160 kind of when you think back to how we 200 00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:09,440 got Boys and Girls Club done and uh 201 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:11,440 Bethesda house funded it was City County 202 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,400 working together with local foundations 203 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,880 to identify a need get the right not for 204 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,640 profit involved then allocate our 205 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,520 resources strategically the state loves 206 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:23,480 that they come in the state has said to 207 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:25,680 us at this point we like the basis of 208 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,880 this and um a lot of you have worked 209 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,800 with Darren Scott who's the regional 210 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:32,800 director of HCR for this part of the 211 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,520 state he has said he's going to come and 212 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:40,440 sit down and plot out which of the state 213 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:42,160 pots is most ripe for this so um I think 214 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,000 I should stop it's a lot of talking for 215 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,040 me so I'll stop talking and answer your 216 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,040 questions but I think where we are at 217 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,720 this point is a lot of this Spade workor 218 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,200 I read that whole boring list because 219 00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:54,520 it's all the stuff that um people in the 220 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,920 public don't see but it's the 221 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:59,839 prerequisite for the state to come in 222 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,920 we've got all that done we have um the 223 00:44:59,839 --> 00:45:04,640 various different pots of local money 224 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,079 lined up and the state is now saying 225 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,599 yeah we like the trajectory this is 226 00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:11,040 going on we'll sit down and figure out 227 00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:13,079 um how you know which path to go down 228 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:16,960 they have to rank and score them but if 229 00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:20,160 you think back to um the Craig Street 230 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:22,599 project Hillside view um Mosaic which 231 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:25,240 got funded in Mount Pleasant last year 232 00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:28,040 Bethesda house all those went through 233 00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:30,119 one or two applications and I think on 234 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:32,880 um Hillside view it was actually the 235 00:45:30,119 --> 00:45:34,680 fourth time it was funded so I think 236 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,000 where we are is the worst thing that can 237 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:40,160 happen here is that maybe the state says 238 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,119 apply here we apply once they don't fund 239 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,000 it but they say here's what you do to 240 00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:47,160 get the points to get it over the Finish 241 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,119 Line um all 242 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:52,400 right it's a lot of minutia for me so 243 00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:54,319 I'll be quiet and answer your questions 244 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,920 so what is your shortfall on funding for 245 00:45:54,319 --> 00:45:58,559 the project what is the overall cost of 246 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,960 the project and what is the um what's 247 00:45:58,559 --> 00:46:02,520 the Gap in funding you know it's an 248 00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:04,480 affordable housing project so that 249 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,720 number always moves 250 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,640 around we're probably going to ask the 251 00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:11,400 state in the neighborhood of5 or $6 252 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:15,000 million I would 253 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:16,480 say for the total project for the state 254 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,240 so I think total would be between eight 255 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,599 and nine 256 00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:22,359 okay but I'm I'm doing I'm doing 257 00:46:20,599 --> 00:46:23,960 estimates because I mean when you do 258 00:46:22,359 --> 00:46:24,800 these affordable housing things until 259 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,920 the 260 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,839 closing 261 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,960 there's no number 262 00:46:28,839 --> 00:46:33,200 okay so when would you know about the 263 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,200 state 264 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:39,800 funding um it depends what route would 265 00:46:36,319 --> 00:46:42,440 they go they have their own big 266 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:44,440 um RFP they're getting ready to put out 267 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,160 with with what they're calling home arpa 268 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:50,480 money I actually think that's what they 269 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:53,200 hired Kristen de to write and they're 270 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:59,640 like more than 6 months behind schedule 271 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:59,640 on issuing it so um um I you know they 272 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,160 they the funding Cycles take six to n 273 00:47:02,359 --> 00:47:05,920 months they generally 274 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,280 do 275 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,880 okay and so I think part of the other 276 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,800 thing is you're asking for an 277 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:17,440 extension yeah I think yeah go ahead so 278 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,440 so how long is the extension 279 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:24,000 request sure I hear that's for a year 280 00:47:20,839 --> 00:47:26,200 all right so then what I would what 281 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,480 request is for a year and then we work 282 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,839 with Brian Lawler who was the state 283 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,359 housing commissioner and did for 30 284 00:47:29,839 --> 00:47:34,960 years the closings for the state on 285 00:47:31,359 --> 00:47:37,319 these things um he's an expert on all of 286 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,520 the rules so we would ask Brian to sit 287 00:47:37,319 --> 00:47:41,040 with um whoever you wanted him to sit 288 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,839 with to make sure all the rules were 289 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,480 followed and you know what I mean 290 00:47:42,839 --> 00:47:47,440 because you've got on the arpa funding 291 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:49,960 you've got your set of rules from the 292 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:52,839 treasur treasury has their set of rules 293 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:54,319 yeah yeah yeah so I do I do think that 294 00:47:52,839 --> 00:47:57,640 with 295 00:47:54,319 --> 00:48:00,720 um your staff involvement and Brian's 296 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:03,400 involvement Bri very good at making sure 297 00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:05,760 the rules are followed So within a year 298 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:09,079 we we'd have a path the state 299 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:11,000 would have it on a path so funing path 300 00:48:09,079 --> 00:48:12,359 that satisfied the rules well the rules 301 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,880 are that it has to be allocated by the 302 00:48:12,359 --> 00:48:18,400 end of 2024 and then spent by the end of 303 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:21,599 I'm confident we can figure that out 304 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:25,160 other questions Mr Mr Williams Mr 305 00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:27,040 Williams to the C okay um so you would 306 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,280 mind clar you said at one point that 307 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,119 there were two different directions the 308 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,800 project could go in one being home 309 00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:33,440 ownership and the other one single uh 310 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,400 single mother households is that a 311 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:38,119 decision that bcni has come to or are 312 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,280 you still evaluating the funds that 313 00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:42,119 you're going to receive and does that 314 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,119 affect the project 315 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:48,799 scope that will have to a lot to do with 316 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:51,400 the timing of what the state 317 00:48:48,799 --> 00:48:53,520 says they have funds available for sort 318 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:57,079 of first second third and 319 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,680 fourth I think that from my seat as 320 00:48:57,079 --> 00:49:00,680 president of the board of bcni and my 321 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:04,040 seat at the foundation I think we have 322 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:06,480 critical mass to do both over the next 323 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:09,240 couple of years it's a matter of which 324 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:12,799 funding path presents itself first we 325 00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:14,839 have a we have a need for both we have 326 00:49:12,799 --> 00:49:16,599 some government funding set up for both 327 00:49:14,839 --> 00:49:20,400 we have strong commitments from local 328 00:49:16,599 --> 00:49:22,160 foundations for both the another one of 329 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:26,520 the tricks of these affordable housing 330 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:28,960 projects is that um smaller is harder to 331 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:32,520 do if you do 10 units it's harder to do 332 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,920 than 60 units so we're talking about 26 333 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:37,720 units here you know one thing we could 334 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:40,040 do is break it and do you know 15 of one 335 00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:42,280 and 11 of another but that actually 336 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:45,920 makes it harder to fund so we have to 337 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:47,599 flesh that out with a state um does that 338 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,880 answer your question absolutely yeah CU 339 00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:51,319 it's not it's not there's not um Clear 340 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:54,520 Cut Black or 341 00:49:51,319 --> 00:49:57,440 White on some of the stuff so I will do 342 00:49:54,520 --> 00:50:00,040 the best I can to give you a correct 343 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:02,920 answer yes and like with previous 344 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,799 requests that we've had um in terms of 345 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,559 the state funding and the point system 346 00:50:04,799 --> 00:50:10,760 that that Grant would go through is it 347 00:50:07,559 --> 00:50:12,359 your opinion that um obviously what we 348 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,880 do here would help in terms of the 349 00:50:12,359 --> 00:50:16,520 points that you might need to approve 350 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:18,720 from that state yeah I think I think 351 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,319 there's two answers to that you know 352 00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:22,079 this is what we learned from the library 353 00:50:20,319 --> 00:50:24,040 branches from Boys and Girls Club from 354 00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:27,640 Bethesda house from bunch of the other 355 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:32,079 projects they do have SC 0 to 100 they 356 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:33,920 they give you points if you have um 357 00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:35,400 Foundation funny if you have City money 358 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:38,839 if you have County money all of that 359 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:41,160 counts but they also like it better they 360 00:50:38,839 --> 00:50:42,480 they you know I think what's motivating 361 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,680 State officials to say we're going to 362 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,799 come meet with you and figure out how to 363 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,960 get this done as they see that skincity 364 00:50:45,799 --> 00:50:50,839 has started to be really successful at 365 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:53,440 this Formula One and they see it coming 366 00:50:50,839 --> 00:50:55,160 together here and then you know once 367 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,319 they do that they help you choose the 368 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:59,640 path that's most likely to succeed which 369 00:50:57,319 --> 00:51:02,319 is why I feel comfortable that the worst 370 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:04,960 thing that will happen is maybe the 371 00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:06,359 first application goes in uh like with 372 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,119 Bethesda house and they came back and 373 00:51:06,359 --> 00:51:10,440 said we're not funding it this year but 374 00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:12,400 you're close and here's what we want you 375 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:15,280 know if you do one two and three you'll 376 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,799 get it over the Finish Line um and Kim 377 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,040 Shepard and her team did a great job of 378 00:51:16,799 --> 00:51:19,799 doing 379 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:24,799 that 380 00:51:19,799 --> 00:51:28,040 mayor thank you uh again this project in 381 00:51:24,799 --> 00:51:31,839 the Y W you know are getting some State 382 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:36,960 attention they good projects uh our 383 00:51:31,839 --> 00:51:40,200 rapport with those agencies is very good 384 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:43,880 you know the team that's here has uh 385 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:47,079 good connections good track record and 386 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:52,079 so I would recommend that some extension 387 00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:53,280 be given in this funding scenario it one 388 00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:55,920 of these things that puts us under 389 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:58,599 pressure to get them done but at the 390 00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:02,960 same time pointed 391 00:51:58,599 --> 00:52:05,480 out we're not just uh going into a 392 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:07,559 vacuum and the state weighs other 393 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:10,000 projects across the 394 00:52:07,559 --> 00:52:13,400 state uh I think we're in a position to 395 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:17,079 score very high uh in this in the things 396 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:19,880 that we've done laning up to uh this 397 00:52:17,079 --> 00:52:22,240 application of this process where we've 398 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:26,119 Consolidated uh two groups brought 399 00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:28,640 together under bcni it's the one 400 00:52:26,119 --> 00:52:31,440 uh time it's been done in the 401 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:33,480 State uh the governor the legislature 402 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,720 keeps talking about doing housing 403 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:38,520 initiatives so there's some of the money 404 00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:41,760 that's on the table now and in the 405 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:44,480 pipeline and there's going to be 406 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:47,160 something in the next Governor's budget 407 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,280 one way or the other I don't have any 408 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:53,720 inclination what that is but we want to 409 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:56,680 be positioned to Advocate and follow up 410 00:52:53,720 --> 00:52:59,400 on any opportunity that exists there so 411 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:01,920 it's somewhat of a again a dynamic 412 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:04,799 process but I think we're in Fairly good 413 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:07,359 shape for a number of things that we're 414 00:53:04,799 --> 00:53:09,559 doing here and our track record of doing 415 00:53:07,359 --> 00:53:11,720 things in the past of actually being 416 00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:14,520 able to implement get things built get 417 00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:16,880 the construction done get the uh 418 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,440 buildings open and get people moved into 419 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:22,160 them I think the YWCA project that's 420 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:25,720 been in three times but I think it's not 421 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:28,280 a path to get funded now yes yeah 422 00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:30,760 I do have one one other tiny question um 423 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,799 has the county contributed any money to 424 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:36,280 um the project you mentioned so I've 425 00:53:33,799 --> 00:53:37,799 been in Asia for two weeks I'm fresh off 426 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,920 the plane which is not a good use of the 427 00:53:37,799 --> 00:53:42,640 word fresh um I can't remember off the 428 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,760 top of my head but Metroplex is going to 429 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,960 come they're going to now that the 430 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,960 state's coming they're going to come and 431 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,880 figure out what what they have to do to 432 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:52,799 help get it over the Finish 433 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:56,000 Line um but does I can't do County have 434 00:53:52,799 --> 00:53:57,599 any money in yet no no thank but we'll 435 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,079 they'll figure it out they'll be part of 436 00:53:57,599 --> 00:54:02,799 the solution thank Madam 437 00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:06,119 president the other feature of this in 438 00:54:02,799 --> 00:54:08,319 terms of the bigger impact is we've done 439 00:54:06,119 --> 00:54:10,599 projects of doing one where it's you 440 00:54:08,319 --> 00:54:14,000 know it's one building that's one site 441 00:54:10,599 --> 00:54:16,520 this is a number of houses throughout 442 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,880 the neighborhood that it's a little bit 443 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:21,040 more complicated to put it all together 444 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:24,400 but the impact is going to be far 445 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:27,079 greater in the overall transition and 446 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:29,920 visual aspect that's going to happen 447 00:54:27,079 --> 00:54:31,960 within that's complet that's completely 448 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,480 correct I know he brought some visuals 449 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,480 off if you want oh you want to put up 450 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,160 yeah this is sort of what the what the 451 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:40,520 um all the prep work has yielded that's 452 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:43,559 absolutely that's that's correct and and 453 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:44,799 just to to pick up on the mayor's point 454 00:54:43,559 --> 00:54:46,960 you know most 455 00:54:44,799 --> 00:54:49,160 cities this is New York state right and 456 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:53,079 we have Brooklyn in it we have the Bronx 457 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:55,720 in Buffalo and most good 458 00:54:53,079 --> 00:54:57,680 most most cities of affordable housing 459 00:54:55,720 --> 00:55:00,160 is all about apartment buildings and 460 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,359 most of the programs are designed for 461 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:05,040 that kind of construction but for our 462 00:55:02,359 --> 00:55:07,839 city it's very much about single and two 463 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,200 family homes and and taking fixing up 464 00:55:07,839 --> 00:55:12,200 these houses that have been vacated or 465 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,839 left empty and so it does take a little 466 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,040 longer to put the financing together 467 00:55:13,839 --> 00:55:17,520 that is part of it but we but the state 468 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,480 recognizes that they're committed to it 469 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:22,160 we will figure it out so here's a 470 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:26,039 cluster here on Germania there's a 471 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:29,359 cluster on uh SK Street and cluster on 472 00:55:26,039 --> 00:55:31,200 on page okay so this isn't all of them 473 00:55:29,359 --> 00:55:32,520 this is just sampling this is the 474 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,760 sampling the pictures are just a sampl 475 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,640 this just a sampling of the vacant so 476 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,839 the VAC most of them are two family 477 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,440 houses most them are two families just 478 00:55:38,839 --> 00:55:42,680 one single family I kind of like that 479 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,720 for home ownership opportunity for 480 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:47,359 first-time home buyers because if they 481 00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:50,880 then the person who buys the house as a 482 00:55:47,359 --> 00:55:53,079 firsttime home buyer that is someone who 483 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:56,160 is for the maybe the first time in 484 00:55:53,079 --> 00:55:58,760 Generations creating an opportunity for 485 00:55:56,160 --> 00:56:00,200 the family to generate savings and 486 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,359 wealth that can be passed on but if it's 487 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,839 a two family home and we do it right the 488 00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:05,839 income they get from the other unit 489 00:56:03,839 --> 00:56:07,599 significantly helps make sure that they 490 00:56:05,839 --> 00:56:09,039 can keep that mortgage those mortgage 491 00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:11,160 payments coming and stick through it see 492 00:56:09,039 --> 00:56:13,359 it all the way through and would have 493 00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:16,920 impact that's another unique feature of 494 00:56:13,359 --> 00:56:18,119 this yeah so that's I mean right now I 495 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,760 I'm kind of cheering for the home 496 00:56:18,119 --> 00:56:22,880 ownership opportunities for this if the 497 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:25,520 state can do it fast enough because of 498 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,000 what I just said so that's that is I do 499 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,079 have that question are you planning on 500 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:31,839 keeping any of those properties and then 501 00:56:29,079 --> 00:56:36,280 renting them to people and bcni 502 00:56:31,839 --> 00:56:38,880 remaining the owner proper I mean if if 503 00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:42,680 if if we go the home ownership route for 504 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:46,520 these properties no if we go the route 505 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:48,160 of um of developing them so that they 506 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:50,520 are rented and they are rented for 507 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:52,240 targeted population like for example 508 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,599 single mothers who need a place to go 509 00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:55,640 those would be rentals that would DC and 510 00:56:53,599 --> 00:56:58,200 I would manage and and they would have 511 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,359 like a u like the isshi program would 512 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,079 come in and fund some of that and there 513 00:56:59,359 --> 00:57:03,760 would be an agreement with scap to 514 00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:05,400 provide the services um and the and the 515 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:08,079 isshi money would would pay for 516 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:14,160 something like 65 75% of the 517 00:57:08,079 --> 00:57:18,359 rent so um two paths okay all right Mr 518 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:20,640 Farley so I guess I'm pretty excited 519 00:57:18,359 --> 00:57:22,880 about the ownership path like I'm I'm 520 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:25,119 sure that that's probably a little more 521 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,240 complicated um from what I'm got what 522 00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:28,119 you're saying but I definitely think 523 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:30,119 that that that would be something that I 524 00:57:28,119 --> 00:57:32,839 I would be more excited about as far as 525 00:57:30,119 --> 00:57:36,000 Community impact um I know the federal 526 00:57:32,839 --> 00:57:39,760 guidelines for like U uh lowincome 527 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:42,400 housing or is a bit dated um and I'm 528 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,960 just wondering is this is the state 529 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,160 guidelines the same as the federal 530 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,039 guidelines and how much autonomy do you 531 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:50,359 have in that as far as that process like 532 00:57:48,039 --> 00:57:52,359 I know that they have been 533 00:57:50,359 --> 00:57:53,960 um I don't know when the last time they 534 00:57:52,359 --> 00:57:56,599 were updated but last I looked it was it 535 00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:58,280 was it didn't seem like it was really uh 536 00:57:56,599 --> 00:58:01,359 in line with 537 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,480 um kind of today's world numbers I think 538 00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:04,599 you always have to follow the federal 539 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:06,079 guidelines you guys agree yeah Federal 540 00:58:04,599 --> 00:58:09,280 ground trunk the states if the states 541 00:58:06,079 --> 00:58:10,520 want to do something so I think that 542 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:13,119 yeah I think the federal ground you have 543 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,960 to follow they probably are out of date 544 00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:16,119 even though my official position is our 545 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,319 colleagues at the federal government are 546 00:58:16,119 --> 00:58:21,039 great Americans and I support 547 00:58:18,319 --> 00:58:23,880 them um it really comes into play when 548 00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:27,240 you rent cuz then the rents have to be 549 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:29,640 set according to all those rules um when 550 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:32,240 you do home ownership it's less of an 551 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:34,680 issue uh because you're qualifying 552 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,920 people for mortgages and helping them 553 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,440 get down payment assistance and then 554 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,680 getting them into the home and then 555 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:41,119 their payment is based on the mortgage 556 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:44,680 um very often those mortgage payments 557 00:58:41,119 --> 00:58:47,079 come out to be less than the rents do um 558 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,079 so I agree with you if we can figure out 559 00:58:47,079 --> 00:58:51,400 how to make the home ownership 560 00:58:49,079 --> 00:58:53,039 work that on this that would be great 561 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,920 but if we don't on this one we'll figure 562 00:58:53,039 --> 00:58:58,559 it out on the next one it that that's 563 00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,480 coming the the the feds have set that as 564 00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:01,839 a policy priority it's showing up in a 565 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,480 lot of the grant programs where you get 566 00:59:01,839 --> 00:59:06,119 extra points to do it um so we'll see 567 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,039 when the state comes if they say yeah 568 00:59:06,119 --> 00:59:10,039 yeah you've got this this this the three 569 00:59:08,039 --> 00:59:11,960 pots you can go for the incentives are 570 00:59:10,039 --> 00:59:14,599 there for home ownership do it they'll 571 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,359 they'll help us figure out and how to 572 00:59:14,599 --> 00:59:19,799 get it done and you know I hope we're 573 00:59:16,359 --> 00:59:21,960 getting to a point where um the mayor 574 00:59:19,799 --> 00:59:24,079 referenced the YWCA project you know I 575 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,240 feel like that may be the turning point 576 00:59:24,079 --> 00:59:27,920 where we get to 577 00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:29,680 where're connecti is now at a point 578 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,200 where we know we can make these things 579 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,760 happen even if it takes a few years we 580 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,000 have to be patient and persistent and 581 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:37,280 push through it sometimes people get mad 582 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,200 there are tempered TS and you know but 583 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,440 um we get we get around the corner where 584 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,200 we know what projects we want to do and 585 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,720 it's just a matter of figuring out which 586 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,280 one goes first second and third the 587 00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,760 state helps us make sure it happens and 588 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,599 we're we're our track records pretty 589 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,880 good I mean we won Elmer Avenue we won 590 00:59:50,599 --> 00:59:55,400 Mosaic recently they came back with a 591 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:57,520 good plan on the YWCA this scap campus 592 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,720 looks like it's on a good track State's 593 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,839 coming back and saying they like the 594 00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:04,440 direction this is going so I think we 595 01:00:00,839 --> 01:00:07,799 can feel good about it one question yes 596 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:10,760 so um too long I'm sorry um it's good 597 01:00:07,799 --> 01:00:12,559 information I'm so I guess my question 598 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,920 would be is how much of what are some of 599 01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:18,200 the other I mean I'm sure it depends on 600 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:19,520 which path you you know would go down 601 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,520 but could you share like some of the 602 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:25,200 other considerations being made as far 603 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:28,680 as like outside of income um who would 604 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:30,599 be uh would be your targeted population 605 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:34,640 um and I'm asking that question just for 606 01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:36,599 clarity around like um are we looking at 607 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,640 um what are some of the other factors 608 01:00:36,599 --> 01:00:40,440 that are are kind of calculations that 609 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,640 are made to see like who's who Le this 610 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,799 type of housing would be accessible to 611 01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:49,480 yeah I mean the plain reality is 612 01:00:44,799 --> 01:00:53,599 unfortunately we have to react to what 613 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:55,480 the funding streams tell us to do so 614 01:00:53,599 --> 01:00:58,559 when we do things like like Elmer Avenue 615 01:00:55,480 --> 01:01:01,359 or Renaissance square or mosaic um those 616 01:00:58,559 --> 01:01:03,599 projects are all tax credit projects and 617 01:01:01,359 --> 01:01:06,440 tax credit projects by law have to be 618 01:01:03,599 --> 01:01:08,799 rentals period and a discussion we don't 619 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:11,760 have any choice and so if you're going 620 01:01:08,799 --> 01:01:13,520 to do a you know conversion of a of a 621 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,760 white elephant old school that's empty 622 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,680 and it's going to be 60 units you're 623 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:21,480 kind of stuck with tax credits there you 624 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:22,799 are um that's a so that's a reason why I 625 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:24,280 kind of agree with you if we could go 626 01:01:22,799 --> 01:01:25,599 down the home ownership path here that 627 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,839 would be great because this is an 628 01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:28,280 opportunity to do that and we're not 629 01:01:26,839 --> 01:01:32,400 doing a tax credit project that 630 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:36,119 prohibits it um in the ca you know we 631 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:39,240 have groups like young parents United 632 01:01:36,119 --> 01:01:41,799 tesda house they tell us that we have a 633 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:45,680 demographic need to deal with homeless 634 01:01:41,799 --> 01:01:48,119 on a bunch of levels and so we do our 635 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:50,920 best to try to get that I mean you know 636 01:01:48,119 --> 01:01:55,880 um the bethesa house project 637 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:57,680 took four four years in you know it's 638 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,520 probably longer than it should take but 639 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:03,520 we got it other communities didn't get 640 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:06,119 it and and did it because Bethesda house 641 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,599 needed to double their capacity to House 642 01:02:06,119 --> 01:02:09,319 people coming out of the homeless sector 643 01:02:07,599 --> 01:02:12,000 so I think you know I think for the root 644 01:02:09,319 --> 01:02:13,720 for the um young families that need 645 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,359 somewhere to go we know we have that 646 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,799 need and we will figure out one way or 647 01:02:15,359 --> 01:02:19,279 another how to do it and we have um 648 01:02:17,799 --> 01:02:21,279 already a couple of State commitments 649 01:02:19,279 --> 01:02:22,680 for isi to do that and we have a local 650 01:02:21,279 --> 01:02:24,920 Foundation ready to do that and the 651 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:26,839 state has already said okay then 652 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:29,640 that's that's the connected formula for 653 01:02:26,839 --> 01:02:32,680 Success we will help you figure it out 654 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:35,079 I'm I'm sorry to your time just I have 655 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,680 one other question uh so regarding the 656 01:02:35,079 --> 01:02:38,200 the projects that you're doing um 657 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,720 assuming part of this will be doing the 658 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:45,119 sidewalks that are around these 659 01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:47,079 properties or um I I think in she's 660 01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:49,000 asking whether the sidewalks are 661 01:02:47,079 --> 01:02:50,440 included in the funding for this and I 662 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,079 don't know I'm going to turn to the 663 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:55,480 staff off the top of my head I believe 664 01:02:53,079 --> 01:02:58,079 they are but I I can't be 100% sure but 665 01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:01,880 I do believe that that was part of that 666 01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:04,760 okay when we did the last things uh when 667 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:07,760 we did the surgy project we did all the 668 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:10,200 sidewalks as well so I do believe that's 669 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:12,640 that's part of it but I can certainly 670 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:15,520 get back to you specifics if you like 671 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:19,000 yes I would thank you 672

01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:29,440 funding needed to execute our program um 713 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:31,839 our project so as of right now uh the 714 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:34,680 new C house team

is uh in the very beginning I 724 01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:01,079 had really lofty goals my goal was to 725 01:05:59,839 --> 01:06:03,279 raise 726 01:06:01,079 --> 01:06:06,000 $250,000 and put it in the hands of the 727 01:06:03,279 --> 01:06:08,160 community um through local contractors 728 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:10,720 who would hire local workers and they 729 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:13,760 would train uh local youth you know that 730 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,400 was my goal my the intent being um to 731 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,240 make sure that the funding for the 732 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:20,160 project was going back directly to the 733 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:22,760 community and we did that you know we we 734 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:25,440 tried to go that route and it was uh a 735 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:28,720 task um I like to think that throughout 736 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:31,440 this process I learned a lot about uh 737 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:33,920 development contracts and a lot of stuff 738 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:36,559 I just really had no clue about um we've 739 01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:39,119 gone through two contractors we're our 740 01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:41,920 third contractor right now uh NPR 741 01:06:39,119 --> 01:06:43,279 locally um and as of right now the front 742 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,799 porch and the back porch has have been 743 01:06:43,279 --> 01:06:48,599 completed and inspected they both passed 744 01:06:45,799 --> 01:06:51,480 um as of right now um and you can kind 745 01:06:48,599 --> 01:06:54,839 of scroll down um these are the plans 746 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:58,039 the original plans for the project uh 747 01:06:54,839 --> 01:06:59,799 so 20 years ago Rachel had an idea of 748 01:06:58,039 --> 01:07:02,760 connecting both houses when I took over 749 01:06:59,799 --> 01:07:04,000 Copa house uh 5 years ago I I looked at 750 01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,400 that and understood that that was going 751 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:09,559 to be quite the task so what we did was 752 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:11,680 we decided to next slide morce please uh 753 01:07:09,559 --> 01:07:13,720 to connect them through the porch um the 754 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:17,359 reason why I thought this was a good 755 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:20,319 idea was um in understanding what that 756 01:07:17,359 --> 01:07:22,119 neighborhood used to be um specifically 757 01:07:20,319 --> 01:07:24,760 my house 758 01:07:22,119 --> 01:07:26,799 um I wanted to build something that 759 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,480 would last uh for the Youth in the 760 01:07:26,799 --> 01:07:31,240 community and would serve as an 761 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:33,319 inspiration to the kid to attend uh 762 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,720 Martin Luther King school and just youth 763 01:07:33,319 --> 01:07:37,039 who live in our community um you can go 764 01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:39,319 to next slide 765 01:07:37,039 --> 01:07:41,000 please uh the next few slides are 766 01:07:39,319 --> 01:07:43,839 pictures of the process and where we're 767 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:45,920 at so that first slide you'll see is the 768 01:07:43,839 --> 01:07:47,480 very beginning 5 years ago uh those 769 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,680 young men in blue shirts those are seats 770 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,680 out so keeping up with the theme that 771 01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:54,039 from the very beginning my intent was to 772 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,480 take this money raise and put it 773 01:07:54,039 --> 01:07:58,359 directly back into the hands of the 774 01:07:55,480 --> 01:08:01,200 community in training and funding and in 775 01:07:58,359 --> 01:08:03,960 jobs uh that second slide you see Union 776 01:08:01,200 -->

01:08:08,559 --> 01:08:14,200 three breaks in the project that really 780 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:15,920 were out of our hands one being co uh 781 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:20,319 which you know there was really nothing 782 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:22,440 we could do um we did have to let go of 783 01:08:20,319 --> 01:08:24,520 a contractor because the work wasn't up 784 01:08:22,440 --> 01:08:27,239 the par and in that process we brought 785 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:29,040 on this great group um who as you can 786 01:08:27,239 --> 01:08:32,000 see the transition from the third and 787 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:34,440 fourth slides you can see the project 788 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,319 took shape literally overnight um all 789 01:08:34,440 --> 01:08:39,400 the siding was gone all the roofing was 790 01:08:36,319 --> 01:08:41,640 gone all brand new shingles and as of 791 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,480 right now this last slide you'll see 792 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:46,719 this is the brand new porch and this is 793 01:08:43,480 --> 01:08:48,560 the inside as of this time last week the 794 01:08:46,719 --> 01:08:50,159 insulation is up right now the sheet 795 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,839 rock is inside and the walls are ready 796 01:08:50,159 --> 01:08:54,239 to go up we have all the plumbing 797 01:08:51,839 --> 01:08:56,319 purchased um the group that that we have 798 01:08:54,239 --> 01:08:59,159 now working with NPR they actually work 799 01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:00,960 six six days they work Monday through 800 01:08:59,159 --> 01:09:04,440 Saturday rafie and his team are 801 01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:08,080 absolutely amazing um the request came 802 01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:09,600 for us to Pivot for the arpa because 803 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,839 what I realized throughout this project 804 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:14,480 was it's been 25 years and coko house 805 01:09:11,839 --> 01:09:17,359 never had a full-time staff coko house 806 01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:20,480 has survived solely for 25 years off of 807 01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:22,279 volunteers so what I thought about um 808 01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:25,560 this time last year that's my wife with 809 01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:28,040 the kids was that we have this great big 810 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,759 project and it's going to get done and 811 01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:32,359 we're going to have this program space 812 01:09:29,759 --> 01:09:34,279 but we need staff we need people from 813 01:09:32,359 --> 01:09:36,159 the community to hire to work with these 814 01:09:34,279 --> 01:09:38,640 youths people that we can train and that 815 01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:41,159 we can pay pay adequately um because 816 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,839 again the pivot with the article was 817 01:09:41,159 --> 01:09:44,920 that we raised the money for the 818 01:09:42,839 --> 01:09:46,960 building and but we're still putting 819 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,679 money back into the community uh the 820 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,920 money the pivot for us is really is 821 01:09:48,679 --> 01:09:52,920 taking this money and hiring uh local 822 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,040 families um because what we're also 823 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:57,480 doing which I I took a lot of stuff 824 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:59,239 context out the slide is uh what's also 825 01:09:57,480 --> 01:10:01,719 going to be

from from us was 928 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:02,679 from city council was I believe the 929 01:13:59,679 --> 01:14:05,679 original ask was 1.5 million over 5 930 01:14:02,679 --> 01:14:08,400 years um and that it was adapted to 931 01:14:05,679 --> 01:14:10,280 500,000 so you've lowered the request is 932 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:12,080 that what you say no I didn't lower the 933 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,440 quest it was when it was sent to us it 934 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:17,719 was lower oh okay okay so 5,000 was what 935 01:14:14,440 --> 01:14:19,080 we allocated gotcha okay and so you're 936 01:14:17,719 --> 01:14:21,040 asking us to 937 01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:24,320 do could you break it down over the 938 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:26,560 years yes so the way we looked at it is 939 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:29,280 uh larger amount the first year and 940 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:32,120 gradually scale off 200,000 200,000 941 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,320 100,000 uh the third year um the reason 942 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,239 being with our growing capacity what we 943 01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,600 found is we have access to more grants 944 01:14:36,239 --> 01:14:41,000 and stuff outside the C because we're 945 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:43,159 offering more program um what's really 946 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,480 been great about this process is uh we 947 01:14:43,159 --> 01:14:47,480 found a way to sustain our program and 948 01:14:45,480 --> 01:14:49,120 grow it without stepping on the toes of 949 01:14:47,480 --> 01:14:50,840 any other the other programs of what 950 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:54,199 they're doing we found ways to 951 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:56,280 collaborate partner um and find find 952 01:14:54,199 --> 01:14:57,840 Space where we can all being part of 953 01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:00,320 this connected youth Coalition being 954 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:02,080 part of the 22 youth organizations we're 955 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,840 supporting each other so we're not 956 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,239 recreating program that's going to take 957 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:07,920 away from other programs what we're 958 01:15:05,239 --> 01:15:09,960 finding is that we're all sustaining by 959 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:11,840 we're serving the same same families and 960 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,280 same kids but there are still some 961 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,199 things that we can do differently and 962 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,719 ways that we can work together so by 963 01:15:15,199 --> 01:15:19,080 stepping to this Niche working with the 964 01:15:16,719 --> 01:15:20,639 older kids um we're fting is there's a 965 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:23,639 generation of Youth who just for some 966 01:15:20,639 --> 01:15:26,080 reason um they just you know as many as 967 01:15:23,639 --> 01:15:27,639 we have they tend to not come sometimes 968 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,600 it's it's mental health sometimes it's 969 01:15:27,639 --> 01:15:32,080 sub sometimes it's just for decision 970 01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:34,560 making so we have found a space where we 971 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,080 can uh work with everyone to provide the 972 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:39,120 best service 973 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:44,040 possible thank you yes ma'am 974 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:46,199 um go go Miss pck okay yeah sure so 975 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:50,280 first I want to Echo um uh president 976 01:15:46,199 --> 01:15:51,360 Porterfield uh uh congratulatory words 977 01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:54,440 around what you've been able to 978 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:57,480 accomplish thus far um I really would 979 01:15:54,440 --> 01:16:00,080 like to see more nonprofits not only um 980 01:15:57,480 --> 01:16:02,320 you know make that type of investment to 981 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:04,360 serve youth but then when you when you 982 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,239 kind of compound the fact that you're 983 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:08,040 making an investment back into the 984 01:16:06,239 --> 01:16:10,040 community um that's something that I 985 01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,880 wish a lot more nonprofits had that did 986 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,440 that model um so I just want to say 987 01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:16,280 that's really important as far as it 988 01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:18,400 speaks of sustainability um and if I'm 989 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:20,800 understanding correctly it's like um 990 01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:23,440 this will not only help you serve the 991 01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:26,280 youth that you serve now but you be able 992 01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:28,920 to kind of expand upon that and also 993 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:31,360 that you know influx of resources what 994 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:33,960 because I'm sure as being a executive 995 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:36,440 director you're doing a lot of different 996 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:38,199 things um a lot of you know so you're 997 01:16:36,440 --> 01:16:39,679 saying it's parttime but we all know we 998 01:16:38,199 --> 01:16:43,000 work with you we know it's full-time 999 01:16:39,679 --> 01:16:46,239 right so um I so I imagine that you you 1000 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:49,120 could see that expanding your ability to 1001 01:16:46,239 --> 01:16:51,360 um go after more funding right Your 1002 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,440 Capacity to do so so even within this 1003 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,120 it's not you know there's some 1004 01:16:52,440 --> 01:16:55,600 sustainability to that with things up 1005 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:58,120 okay I just want to be clear about that 1006 01:16:55,600 --> 01:17:01,320 that's that was the goal long term um we 1007 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:04,440 planned this was to what we found was 1008 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:07,800 with the UN with um Coco house we have 1009 01:17:04,440 --> 01:17:09,880 kids who age out and sixth seventh grade 1010 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,719 and then you know boys and girls plus 1011 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:14,280 phal I think the great thing about sa 1012 01:17:11,719 --> 01:17:16,199 connected we don't La for resources but 1013 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:18,120 we always find those kids who find 1014 01:17:16,199 --> 01:17:19,639 themselves kind of in between so what we 1015 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:21,800 thought about in this process was well 1016 01:17:19,639 --> 01:17:23,719 what if we can create uh job 1017 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:25,040 sustainability long term we can take 1018 01:17:23,719 --> 01:17:27,199 some of these kids we can put them in a 1019 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:29,199 team program we can educate them on how 1020 01:17:27,199 --> 01:17:30,880 to work with the younger kids and again 1021 01:17:29,199 --> 01:17:32,080 you know we have the summer youth 1022 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,480 program we have all these different 1023 01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,600 programs that we have the ability to 1024 01:17:33,480 --> 01:17:37,679 work with let's create more 1025 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:40,000 opportunities for youth like myself 1026 01:17:37,679 --> 01:17:42,440 because again without r a gram I'm not 1027 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,400 the executive director of C- so if we 1028 01:17:42,440 --> 01:17:46,719 can take more use and more opportunities 1029 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:48,400 and more intentional investment long 1030 01:17:46,719 --> 01:17:50,159 term we can create more opportunities to 1031 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,080 get some of these kids off these corners 1032 01:17:50,159 --> 01:17:54,400 and do some phenomenal things in these 1033 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:56,280 programs because they can reach their 1034 01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:59,239 friends better than we 1035 01:17:56,280 --> 01:18:02,239 can you have question I do so this 1036 01:17:59,239 --> 01:18:05,600 obviously the the um rer funding from 1037 01:18:02,239 --> 01:18:09,679 the city is completely about Staffing 1038 01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:12,400 and Sals so what will be your capacity 1039 01:18:09,679 --> 01:18:15,440 around um you know the programs I mean 1040 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:18,320 in terms of uh no I'm I'm glad you asked 1041 01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:20,239 so right now uh with just volunteers my 1042 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:22,360 wife who's sitting on the hallway um 1043 01:18:20,239 --> 01:18:26,440 prior to co we were operating at full 1044 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:28,480 capacity 35 you a day prior to co once 1045 01:18:26,440 --> 01:18:31,920 Co hit uh of course we had numbers had 1046 01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:33,440 to drop and then after that um you know 1047 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:35,480 the school district opened up their 1048 01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:37,280 after school program again which kinds 1049 01:18:35,480 --> 01:18:39,199 of change the dynamic and again we're 1050 01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:41,159 not in competition for to serve the 1051 01:18:39,199 --> 01:18:43,159 Youth of our community we're looking to 1052 01:18:41,159 --> 01:18:44,840 come across and work with each other so 1053 01:18:43,159 --> 01:18:46,440 uh we partner with the school district 1054 01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:48,920 and we find local families who are in 1055 01:18:46,440 --> 01:18:50,480 need of you know so this with the team 1056 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,239 program opening up the way we have it 1057 01:18:50,480 --> 01:18:55,800 set up we have the capacity to take on 1058 01:18:52,239 --> 01:18:59,040 another 30 35 you per day 1059 01:18:55,800 --> 01:19:02,080 and um so do you find that the 30 to 35 1060 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:04,040 students per day are um consistent the 1061 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,880 same students or are you 1062 01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:09,000 seeing no it's it's changed right now 1063 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,239 that we just opened up uh first day was 1064 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:13,040 today and I think we had uh I believe 1065 01:19:11,239 --> 01:19:14,719 our numbers were 10 but this is our 1066 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:16,280 first day opening up and again the 1067 01:19:14,719 --> 01:19:18,719 school district is running they have 1068 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,440 school B 5 days a week so you know we're 1069 01:19:18,719 --> 01:19:23,199 not looking to really compete with them 1070 01:19:20,440 --> 01:19:25,800 but we're looking to create a a 1071 01:19:23,199 --> 01:19:28,400 situation to reach those hard to reach 1072 01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:30,480 youth specifically um because we really 1073 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:33,320 feel like that's where we can do the 1074 01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:34,960 most good um anybody that that wants to 1075 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,679 come to cop house of course is welcome 1076 01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,960 and that's really where this uh 1077 01:19:37,679 --> 01:19:41,719 situation was driven from is because we 1078 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,560 had youth coming back seventh and eighth 1079 01:19:41,719 --> 01:19:45,520 grade and they had no program to go to 1080 01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:47,159 because they got kicked out and it's not 1081 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,480 because they're bad kids but maybe the 1082 01:19:47,159 --> 01:19:50,159 people at the program didn't understand 1083 01:19:48,480 --> 01:19:52,120 how to deal with them we've been working 1084 01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:53,920 with them for four or 5 years now what 1085 01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,840 do we do do we turn turn the youth away 1086 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,760 no we intentionally create a space so 1087 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,199 that they can come back because that 1088 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,159 investment long term it keeps them out 1089 01:19:59,199 --> 01:20:02,760 of trouble and it keeps them engage in 1090 01:20:01,159 --> 01:20:06,719 the community work that we 1091 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:08,199 do Mr to um MZ um the document you 1092 01:20:06,719 --> 01:20:10,120 submit to us with regards to this 1093 01:20:08,199 --> 01:20:13,480 amendment you are and looking at the 1094 01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:16,120 salary line you have $600,000 over 3 1095 01:20:13,480 --> 01:20:19,360 years what are your plan to sustain it 1096 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:21,560 into the fourth year what's our plan yes 1097 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:24,080 okay so again as we expect it's cool I 1098 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:26,960 was pray for that um as EX stand program 1099 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:30,120 um what's been great is uh I I've gone 1100 01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:32,400 to a couple national conferences um the 1101 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:35,120 geof funders was one in Chicago in which 1102 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:36,920 we met national uh funders who there's 1103 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:40,320 there's more money available and I think 1104 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:42,880 a lot of that was kind of what moved our 1105 01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:44,440 Innovation right we found that there's a 1106 01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:46,560 lot of youth programs in the city of 1107 01:20:44,440 --> 01:20:48,560 skincity and we're kind of all going to 1108 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,360 the connecting Foundation into the city 1109 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:52,040 for the same money to serve really the 1110 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:53,880 same kids which is not sustainable for 1111 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:56,719 you guys it's not sustainable to the 1112 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:58,560 concy foundation so in creating a a new 1113 01:20:56,719 --> 01:21:01,239 and Innovative program it allowed us to 1114 01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:03,040 start to tap into some uh the naal 1115 01:21:01,239 --> 01:21:07,679 National mentorship Alliance Mentor New 1116 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:11,440 York in which you know and we have some 1117 01:21:07,679 --> 01:21:14,520 um funders uh that are kind of waiting 1118 01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:16,280 for uh this piece to get off the ground 1119 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:19,440 so that was the big thing was is we had 1120 01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:21,679 some funders in place uh two years ago 1121 01:21:19,440 --> 01:21:24,440 but our timeline got pushed back because 1122 01:21:21,679 --> 01:21:26,719 the project kind of didn't sustain so 1123 01:21:24,440 --> 01:21:29,440 because of that we had to kind of um 1124 01:21:26,719 --> 01:21:30,840 pivot our approach and uh focus on 1125 01:21:29,440 --> 01:21:32,600 getting the project done before we could 1126 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,719 start to ask some of our wealthy friends 1127 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:36,679 for 1128 01:21:33,719 --> 01:21:39,000 money so so just a p so you mentioned 1129 01:21:36,679 --> 01:21:40,280 that their fundings out there yes and 1130 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:42,719 you are T you're going to be tapping 1131 01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:44,000 into these agencies yes is it possible 1132 01:21:42,719 --> 01:21:45,920 that you can send us a list of the 1133 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:48,440 agency that you are going to be working 1134 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,440 with 1135 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:55,120 in Mr Williams uh definitely again I 1136 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:56,600 think it's I appreciate the presentation 1137 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,960 and also the work that you're doing I 1138 01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,480 think it's safe to say that this project 1139 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:03,480 and what you've been able to achieve so 1140 01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:05,239 far actually reflects the tant of what 1141 01:22:03,480 --> 01:22:06,560 our community is uh working together 1142 01:22:05,239 --> 01:22:08,840 more collaboratively and more 1143 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,760 effectively so using and employing the 1144 01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:12,639 seat Center which made me smile and 1145 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:15,159 tapping into Union College it's very 1146 01:22:12,639 --> 01:22:17,840 very um good to hear uh definitely I 1147 01:22:15,159 --> 01:22:19,159 think the sustainability is a strong 1148 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,920 consideration the last thing we want to 1149 01:22:19,159 --> 01:22:22,840 do is fund positions that are then going 1150 01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:27,159 to be dissolved in the next year year or 1151 01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:29,080 two um uh my question resounded around 1152 01:22:27,159 --> 01:22:30,320 so if ever the ask came back to the city 1153 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,080 do you have job descriptions just 1154 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,320 clearly outlining what the duties of 1155 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:37,040 each role are because any year working 1156 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:38,760 we are absolutely working on those now U 1157 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,440 the interesting thing about this in in 1158 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:43,400 see down spread you kind of alluded to 1159 01:22:40,440 --> 01:22:45,520 this is it was the hardest thing to not 1160 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:48,600 give a update on progress and not put 1161 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:50,040 anything on social media because I felt 1162 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,880 in all honesty I'm being honest I felt 1163 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:54,480 like I had let everyone down because the 1164 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:56,320 project I pushed back so many times um 1165 01:22:54,480 --> 01:22:59,120 we had a lofty goal and we had a 1166 01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:02,199 timeline set and when uh we came into 1167 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:05,159 barrier after barrier it was frustra and 1168 01:23:02,199 --> 01:23:07,440 so what happened was is our Focus just 1169 01:23:05,159 --> 01:23:10,280 became strictly getting this building 1170 01:23:07,440 --> 01:23:12,639 done and then building everything else 1171 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:14,199 kind of really around it and now we that 1172 01:23:12,639 --> 01:23:15,960 we have the right people in place we 1173 01:23:14,199 --> 01:23:17,960 have the timeline in front of us it's 1174 01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:19,280 allowed us to go back and focus on those 1175 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,360 things which are incredibly important 1176 01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,520 because again to create sustainability 1177 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:25,400 again like you know 1178 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,440 talking about is we have to have those 1179 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:30,840 things in place very clear dialogue very 1180 01:23:27,440 --> 01:23:33,120 clear program outlines um and I want to 1181 01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:34,719 flesh those out but my priority right 1182 01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,280 now is just getting this building done 1183 01:23:34,719 --> 01:23:39,159 because I just felt like so much was 1184 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:41,080 riding on it thank you but I can send 1185 01:23:39,159 --> 01:23:43,480 them over to you it's not a problem 1186 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,080 appreciate actually if you send m m 1187 01:23:43,480 --> 01:23:48,239 she'll make sure the en account for no 1188 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:50,199 problem thank you Mr yes Mr Harley so I 1189 01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:52,280 so um just listening to kind of your 1190 01:23:50,199 --> 01:23:53,000 response to to Mr Williams I I think 1191 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,520 that 1192 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,199 um and kind of also to your point Mr 1193 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:59,679 manian I think if I'm understanding it 1194 01:23:57,199 --> 01:24:02,239 correctly part of the the sustainability 1195 01:23:59,679 --> 01:24:03,679 is really growing Your Capacity to seek 1196 01:24:02,239 --> 01:24:05,520 funding cuz I think a lot of times we 1197 01:24:03,679 --> 01:24:07,320 have some of our smaller nonprofits that 1198 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,239 make really really big impacts but 1199 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,400 necessarily don't have like a 1200 01:24:08,239 --> 01:24:13,520 development office if you will right so 1201 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:15,320 I so so so just you know as city council 1202 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:16,840 we're we're moving to try to be more 1203 01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,800 Equitable in approach that we do things 1204 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:20,080 including funding um so I think it was 1205 01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,920 just I just invited my council members 1206 01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:23,840 to consider that as well that part of 1207 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,679 some of this is Su of the sustainability 1208 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:27,840 plan is about giving um some of the 1209 01:24:25,679 --> 01:24:30,080 smaller nonprofits that make big impacts 1210 01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,840 opportunities to grow um and that would 1211 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,360 kind of uh help sustain them along the 1212 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:36,600 way and we're actually we're working 1213 01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:39,040 with uh Bob and the sky Foundation to 1214 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:41,960 grow exactly that we're actually working 1215 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:44,560 on growing a nonprofit incubator in the 1216 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:46,639 city of skty where

writing and development services without 1220 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:54,679 the the overhead cost that 1221 01:24:53,159 --> 01:24:55,920 that's been a part of this process in 1222 01:24:54,679 --> 01:24:58,159 the background that we've all really 1223 01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,719 been working on because it's not to when 1224 01:24:58,159 --> 01:25:01,679 you look at this approach I I know it 1225 01:24:59,719 --> 01:25:03,480 looks like it's a lot of money it's like 1226 01:25:01,679 --> 01:25:04,800 you know what's the dollar verse impact 1227 01:25:03,480 --> 01:25:06,040 when we talk

01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:18,800 development approaches it's going to 1234 01:25:16,239 --> 01:25:21,280 make it sustainable for everyone long 1235 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,800 term well I mean just to Echo what Mr 1236 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,920 Farley is saying I guess I'd have to 1237 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:27,159 also say I know that in your um Vision 1238 01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,199 here

01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:42,000 going out and continuing to look for 1245 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:44,600 money um and that's why the program 1246 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:46,320 people um would be you know

what part of cameras 1471 01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:26,159 would would this be used 1472 01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,880 towards um it it it varies um I believe 1473 01:35:29,639 --> 01:35:32,560 last year one of the cameras we 1474 01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:34,440 purchased was a one of our Mobile 1475 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:36,520 Trailer cameras so that gives us the 1476 01:35:34,440 --> 01:35:38,960 flexibility to move it around there's 1477 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:41,560 other times that we we we uh use these 1478 01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:44,760 funds to put a a camera that we add to 1479 01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:46,880 the cam County system uh for a problem 1480 01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:50,360 area that we find that there's a need 1481 01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:52,360 for them then we're

DCJS it's through our a close 1540 01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:27,440 relationship with DCJS that they offered 1541 01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:30,040 us this funding which we will plan to 1542 01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:32,560 use for holsters flashlights optic 1543 01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:36,960 mounting plates and modular optic 1544 01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:38,560 systems there is no match um however um 1545 01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,199 this equipment that we would be 1546 01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:42,440 purchasing would be in conjunction with 1547 01:38:40,199 --> 01:38:45,599 upgrading our Firearms which

moving our firearms from a 40 caliber to 1551 01:38:50,679 --> 01:38:58,000 a 9 millimeter and we would um receive a 1552 01:38:55,480 --> 01:38:59,560 credit for the ones that we trade in and 1553 01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:01,760 that would be off that would offset the 1554 01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:03,719 cost of the new ones that we do purchase 1555 01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:07,080 this is that is not a part of what we're 1556 01:39:03,719 --> 01:39:08,560 asking the grant uh to be accepted for 1557 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:11,280 um and we would be doing our own 1558 01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:13,920 research on on uh securing the funding 1559 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:15,719 for whatever else is needed um for those 1560 01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:18,679 handguns it's roughly 1561 01:39:15,719 --> 01:39:22,440 $30,000 which we would see in C savings 1562 01:39:18,679 --> 01:39:25,520 on on purchasing ammunition um but the 1563 01:39:22,440 --> 01:39:27,599 the better plan for that decision uh we 1564 01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,199 we asked for this this funding through 1565 01:39:27,599 --> 01:39:32,520 the state and we were awarded it so 1566 01:39:29,199 --> 01:39:36,360 we're looking to be able to accept 1567 01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:39,599 it he said what's a modular optic 1568 01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:42,880 unit so uh this is new technology that 1569 01:39:39,599 --> 01:39:45,760 exists now where the officer um who is 1570 01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:48,679 using the firearm looks through an optic 1571 01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:49,920 and they're able to actually see a uh uh 1572 01:39:48,679 --> 01:39:52,679 their target better where they're 1573 01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:55,000 shooting to it becomes much more 1574 01:39:52,679 --> 01:39:57,960 accurate and and have 1575 01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:00,000 a less through training you end up 1576 01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:01,920 needing to shoot Less in order to 1577 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:05,239 eliminate the 1578 01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:09,719 threat any other questions or comments 1579 01:40:05,239 --> 01:40:12,159 I'll second oh no so you you mentioned 1580 01:40:09,719 --> 01:40:14,880 it so I don't see anything in here so if 1581 01:40:12,159 --> 01:40:17,480 this modular optic system is new is 1582 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:20,119 there anything in here for training on 1583 01:40:17,480 --> 01:40:22,400 that yes we would we would provide that 1584 01:40:20,119 --> 01:40:24,840 there we would not uh ever switch them 1585 01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:27,280 out without doing it during our annual 1586 01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:30,400 firearms training which is a week 1587 01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:32,360 long okay so just to be clear we would 1588 01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:35,239 buy this and we wouldn't use it until 1589 01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:38,080 people have been trained on it that's 1590 01:40:35,239 --> 01:40:40,239 correct um and and I asked this uh when 1591 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:41,840 we were um having the legislative 1592 01:40:40,239 --> 01:40:43,400 conference so I just want to double just 1593 01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:47,280 if you could just explain because I had 1594 01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:51,119 a question regarding going from the 9 mm 1595 01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:54,320 versus the 40 caliber yes and and it's 1596 01:40:51,119 --> 01:40:55,440 impact on human life so I want to know 1597 01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:57,159 yeah I don't profession to be a 1598 01:40:55,440 --> 01:41:00,520 ballistics expert but what I've been 1599 01:40:57,159 --> 01:41:04,000 told is that uh the ballistics uh behind 1600 01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:06,159 a 9mm are equal to or greater than that 1601 01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:09,840 of a 40 caliber but they're more closely 1602 01:41:06,159 --> 01:41:12,960 related to being very close um which the 1603 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:15,400 the 40 caliber uh from the past of over 1604 01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:18,480 a 9 Miller was was better but the the 1605 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:21,280 technology has gotten such that the 9mm 1606 01:41:18,480 --> 01:41:23,159 is just as good and it's much cheaper to 1607 01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:26,719 purchase and um and they're they're 1608 01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:28,119 smaller um to to put into the weapon so 1609 01:41:26,719 --> 01:41:30,520 it means that the the weapon that you're 1610 01:41:28,119 --> 01:41:32,520 carrying is lighter you know which which 1611 01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:34,599 you know means that you know the the the 1612 01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:38,119 P the drag on the waist for the officers 1613 01:41:34,599 --> 01:41:39,840 is a lot less um which which helps when 1614 01:41:38,119 --> 01:41:43,199 we're adding more technology like tasers 1615 01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:45,920 onto their belt so um it's for those 1616 01:41:43,199 --> 01:41:47,719 reasons why most police departments uh 1617 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:49,239 even federal agencies are moving towards 1618 01:41:47,719 --> 01:41:51,000 this 1619 01:41:49,239 --> 01:41:53,960 technology any other questions question 1620 01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:57,599 or comments and motion so Mo second all 1621 01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:59,800 in favor uh before ask Lieutenant to 1622 01:41:57,599 --> 01:42:01,760 come up and be assessed definitely I 1623 01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:03,599 hope it doesn't go un notice uh the 1624 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:07,159 grants that this department is able to 1625 01:42:03,599 --> 01:42:10,159 get uh should not be U taken for granted 1626 01:42:07,159 --> 01:42:11,880 and would you mind as for clarification 1627 01:42:10,159 --> 01:42:14,320 is that a credit to just your grant 1628 01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:16,119 writers or administrative staff or is it 1629 01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:17,639 safe to say you can expect annually 1630 01:42:16,119 --> 01:42:20,080 these types of 1631 01:42:17,639 --> 01:42:21,480 awards um yeah I want to give credit to 1632 01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:24,560 credit do I mean 1633 01:42:21,480 --> 01:42:27,080 now retired Chief cber um you know he he 1634 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:29,360 did a really good job networking and and 1635 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:31,280 uh going out and meeting people I also 1636 01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:33,400 want to give credit to um you know 1637 01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:37,080 Sergeant Weekley he's one of the 1638 01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:38,440 individuals that through a uh 1639 01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:41,199 relationship with 1640 01:42:38,440 --> 01:42:42,800 DCJS um you know we put ourselves in a 1641 01:42:41,199 --> 01:42:44,800 position where when we need something we 1642 01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:46,280 mention to them they they assist us 1643 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:48,880 Lieutenant Doan who

01:42:56,159 on a regular basis to to achieve these 1647 01:42:53,639 --> 01:42:59,040 grants um and then you know we can 1648 01:42:56,159 --> 01:43:00,920 expect certain ones every year like the 1649 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:03,440 governor's Traffic Safety the Homeland 1650 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:05,199 Security One um the other ones are those 1651 01:43:03,440 --> 01:43:07,480 one-timers like the the one you're about 1652 01:43:05,199 --> 01:43:10,760 to hear about and the one with from DCJS 1653 01:43:07,480 --> 01:43:12,880 but it's fair to say that our our our 1654 01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:14,960 department-wide relationship with DCJS 1655 01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:18,199 has brought us lots of funding thanks 1656 01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:20,400 you welcome uh and the last agenda item 1657 01:43:18,199 --> 01:43:24,639 will be uh Grant award New York State 1658 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:24,639 compan annual Capital fund Grant 1659 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:31,400 by good evening so this is a grant we're 1660 01:43:28,719 --> 01:43:33,520 awarded for $200,000 it's comes out of 1661 01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:36,480 the um animal containment fund from New 1662 01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:38,480 York State this is a fund that has been 1663 01:43:36,480 --> 01:43:39,480 increased under the governor I expect 1664 01:43:38,480 --> 01:43:41,960 that this fund's probably going to be 1665 01:43:39,480 --> 01:43:44,000 increased more in the future um 1666 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:47,880 previously it was one to one match they 1667 01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:49,679 dropped it down to I think 25% so uh 1668 01:43:47,880 --> 01:43:53,239 right now we we're awarded 1669 01:43:49,679 --> 01:43:56,040 $200,000 we had previous $150,000 in 1670 01:43:53,239 --> 01:43:56,960 capital funds um for this project we 1671 01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:59,400 have another 1672 01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,639 150,000 and uh in this year's budget so 1673 01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:03,560 we have everything we need to complete 1674 01:44:00,639 --> 01:44:07,800 the project uh we'll be looking 1675 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:09,560 to um improve or relocate our animal 1676 01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:11,760 shelter the state has passed several 1677 01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:13,639 laws that are going to go in fact over 1678 01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:16,000 the next couple years in reference to 1679 01:44:13,639 --> 01:44:17,800 the quality of the shelters and air 1680 01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:21,520 quality and certain standards for the 1681 01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:23,599 animals uh our shelter is currently 1682 01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:25,400 certified but I would say it's not going 1683 01:44:23,599 --> 01:44:26,800 to meet those standards so this is going 1684 01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:28,760 to help us meet those standards for the 1685 01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,800 future we are required to either have a 1686 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:33,560 contract with somebody like Mohawk ARS 1687 01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:36,040 or have a shelter as a municipality so 1688 01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:39,719 this is going to help us greatly with a 1689 01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:40,920 relationship with them and should should 1690 01:44:39,719 --> 01:44:42,960 they 1691 01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:45,400 uh come to a point where they can't 1692 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:47,840 service or can't serve the capacity we 1693 01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:49,560 have serve as backup for the animals 1694 01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:51,199 that we do take 1695 01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:55,320 in 1696 01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:57,280 question mfield so is our goal to this 1697 01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:59,520 to be backup I thought our goal was for 1698 01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:02,480 us to have like a Shel that's ours and 1699 01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:04,199 maybe they need to back up um um just 1700 01:45:02,480 --> 01:45:06,320 because I know that there's some cost 1701 01:45:04,199 --> 01:45:09,119 associated with and I think the city's 1702 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:10,719 taking a lot on that in terms of using 1703 01:45:09,119 --> 01:45:14,159 um their 1704 01:45:10,719 --> 01:45:16,199 facility yes uh the animal program has 1705 01:45:14,159 --> 01:45:18,840 never been a stream of Revenue and I'll 1706 01:45:16,199 --> 01:45:20,800 say it probably never will be however 1707 01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:24,560 this looks to the Future build 1708 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:27,040 Partnerships to help um lessen that Gap 1709 01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:31,639 and and try to build some Revenue I can 1710 01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:34,920

01:49:14,960 contact with and follow up on Anthony's 1796 01:49:12,719 --> 01:49:16,960 letter previously sent to get the 1797 01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,760 documents so you're not really waiting 1798 01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:20,480 anything because we moved on the things 1799 01:49:18,760 --> 01:49:23,920 that you needed to move on we heard from 1800 01:49:20,480 --> 01:49:25,400 two organizations tonight yes okay one 1801 01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:30,639 of the ones that was waiting to move on 1802 01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:36,440 was uh scat but so yeah all that other 1803 01:49:30,639 --> 01:49:39,560 questions or any thank you thank 1804 01:49:36,440 --> 01:49:41,280 you um and just you know in terms of ARA 1805 01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,840 we heard from a couple of um 1806 01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,480 organizations tonight so we're going to 1807 01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:46,239 be waiting for their documents and then 1808 01:49:44,480 --> 01:49:48,360 we're going to have to discuss whether 1809 01:49:46,239 --> 01:49:50,800 we Grant those extensions in those um 1810 01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:52,080 chain of use of funds um because there 1811 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:53,560 were some questions that were asked that 1812 01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:55,639 were not answered tonight so I think we 1813 01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:58,080 have to wait for that in order to make 1814 01:49:55,639 --> 01:50:01,040 those those 1815 01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:04,639 decisions okay um the item number two is 1816 01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:07,320 being pulled it was um this is actually 1817 01:50:04,639 --> 01:50:09,800 a sign that's on private property and so 1818 01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:12,239 therefore the city does not have to 1819 01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:14,639 issue a 1820 01:50:12,239 --> 01:50:16,560 permit uh item number three the update 1821 01:50:14,639 --> 01:50:19,480 for Zoning for cannabis dispensaries and 1822 01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:20,639 smoking bapy shops um I know a number of 1823 01:50:19,480 --> 01:50:22,440 the council members I'm not sure if 1824 01:50:20,639 --> 01:50:25,080 everyone had an opportunity to speak to 1825 01:50:22,440 --> 01:50:26,800 our Corporation Council and uh so at 1826 01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:28,639 this time just like to hear where we are 1827 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:30,920 with that sure uh first I'd like to 1828 01:50:28,639 --> 01:50:35,719 thank everybody who's uh come and spoken 1829 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:39,599 with um either me or Mr Marney about um 1830 01:50:35,719 --> 01:50:42,840 you know what you envision for um this 1831 01:50:39,599 --> 01:50:45,239 zoning District um obviously they're you 1832 01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:47,599 know we're dealing with obviously you 1833 01:50:45,239 --> 01:50:50,560 know seven Council people with generally 1834 01:50:47,599 --> 01:50:52,440 seven ways of approaching it um but I 1835 01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:54,040 appreciate everybody's patience and in 1836 01:50:52,440 --> 01:50:58,000 dealing with this I'm going to turn it 1837 01:50:54,040 --> 01:51:00,679 over to Mr Marty um who has worked on 1838 01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:05,920 this quite a bit more and I think he has 1839 01:51:00,679 --> 01:51:07,520 a handout um to give you all a sense of 1840 01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:11,440 um 1841 01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:14,920 what presumably you have envisioned um 1842 01:51:11,440 --> 01:51:14,920 and we can discuss it further 1843 01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:21,960 obviously 1844 01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,560 thank you hello 1845 01:51:33,639 --> 01:51:39,800 everyone um so uh what we've prepared uh 1846 01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:42,840 with development in front of you is a 1847 01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:45,719 proposed overlay zone for the adult uses 1848 01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:48,000 that would include the um cannabis uses 1849 01:51:45,719 --> 01:51:51,440 and uh smok and vape shop uses and 1850 01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:53,800 consumption uses uh uh uh we did have an 1851 01:51:51,440 --> 01:51:55,960 opportunity to meet with many of you and 1852 01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:58,360 receive the feedback and and based off 1853 01:51:55,960 --> 01:52:00,159 of that feedback uh Christine and Jack 1854 01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:02,480 and development worked on this map so we 1855 01:52:00,159 --> 01:52:06,400 can get this out today and begin uh 1856 01:52:02,480 --> 01:52:07,840 having that conversation um uh largely I 1857 01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:10,639 guess I would kind of refer to this as 1858 01:52:07,840 --> 01:52:13,040 the commercial te of skincity uh which 1859 01:52:10,639 --> 01:52:15,880 includes uh State Street the majority of 1860 01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:19,599 State Street the exception of a small 1861 01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:21,719 residential Zone down in the middle um 1862 01:52:19,599 --> 01:52:25,520 of of course uh Erie Boulevard the 1863 01:52:21,719 --> 01:52:28,280 casino development uh and uh uh Broadway 1864 01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:29,520 as well um based off of the feedback 1865 01:52:28,280 --> 01:52:32,480 that was received from many of the 1866 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:34,480 council members we did um remove many of 1867 01:52:32,480 --> 01:52:37,119 the neighborhood retail districts that 1868 01:52:34,480 --> 01:52:40,639 were PR previously proposed um so you'll 1869 01:52:37,119 --> 01:52:42,920 know that uh uh a lot of the the area 1870 01:52:40,639 --> 01:52:45,520 that has been selected has been selected 1871 01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:47,760 due to uh it doesn't have a substantial 1872 01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:51,079 impact on residential 1873 01:52:47,760 --> 01:52:54,560 areas um so uh with that this is just a 1874 01:52:51,079 --> 01:52:57,280 working map um and uh as far as the rest 1875 01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:59,599 of the zoning is concerned um you know I 1876 01:52:57,280 --> 01:53:01,119 know Christine and I spoke a lot um with 1877 01:52:59,599 --> 01:53:03,119 the folks that came through and met with 1878 01:53:01,119 --> 01:53:05,119 us about kind of what the framework for 1879 01:53:03,119 --> 01:53:06,920 that zoning ordinance would look like so 1880 01:53:05,119 --> 01:53:09,320 we do have a skeleton that we're working 1881 01:53:06,920 --> 01:53:10,960 on and we'll start flushing out a draft 1882 01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:12,719 so that we can get that circulated as 1883 01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:14,639 well um that will take a little bit of 1884 01:53:12,719 --> 01:53:17,040 time for us to do the that is a heavier 1885 01:53:14,639 --> 01:53:18,760 lift um you I would say probably about a 1886 01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:21,440 month for us to be able to put a draft 1887 01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:24,360 together 1888 01:53:21,440 --> 01:53:26,360 I just want to piggy back on that um I 1889 01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:30,360 recognize that there are some areas on 1890 01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:31,920 this map that um maybe more sensitive um 1891 01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:35,159 in terms of the businesses that are 1892 01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:36,560 there um that you know this is obviously 1893 01:53:35,159 --> 01:53:40,239 the first rout that you're seeing of a 1894 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:43,599 map for example you know um there was 1895 01:53:40,239 --> 01:53:47,719 concern from at least one council person 1896 01:53:43,599 --> 01:53:50,440 about new choices and having allowing um 1897 01:53:47,719 --> 01:53:54,840 you know cannabis dispensary 1898 01:53:50,440 --> 01:53:57,920 um and or um a smoke shop um close to 1899 01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:59,440 New choices um so again you know I don't 1900 01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:01,360 know if that was actually covered it 1901 01:53:59,440 --> 01:54:03,119 looks like it may be green or red on 1902 01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:04,679 here rather so that's something 1903 01:54:03,119 --> 01:54:07,880 obviously that you know we certainly 1904 01:54:04,679 --> 01:54:09,880 want to take a look at um there may be 1905 01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:11,679 other areas in here where you find it to 1906 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:13,560 be more sensitive because of another 1907 01:54:11,679 --> 01:54:15,440 business that's there obviously you're 1908 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:17,239 still going to have to work within um 1909 01:54:15,440 --> 01:54:20,480 the other regulations that come with the 1910 01:54:17,239 --> 01:54:22,960 overlay um plus also those regulations 1911 01:54:20,480 --> 01:54:26,880 that the state has set forth for uh 1912 01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:26,880 cannabis dispensaries and 1913 01:54:27,599 --> 01:54:31,719 lunches Mr you have a question yeah U 1914 01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:34,040 thank you for your work Mr Mar I 1915 01:54:31,719 --> 01:54:36,520 definitely appreciate this visual uh I 1916 01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:38,520 want to direct our attention to that one 1917 01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:40,360 area that's on Upper Union Street is the 1918 01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:42,040 reason for that inclusion just to 1919 01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:44,679 encapsulate encapsulate the current 1920 01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:47,159 business that's there um so that is the 1921 01:54:44,679 --> 01:54:49,800 Upper Union Street commercial Corridor 1922 01:54:47,159 --> 01:54:52,320 um so there is already a business there 1923 01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:54,560 uh that would be one uh proposed area 1924 01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:56,119 because it is it is largely commercial 1925 01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:59,159 that the this these would be permitted 1926 01:54:56,119 --> 01:55:01,239 uses um obviously there is footage 1927 01:54:59,159 --> 01:55:03,840 restrictions um already imposed for the 1928 01:55:01,239 --> 01:55:05,679 Cannabis uses by the state and then we'd 1929 01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:08,320 be looking to impose similar footage 1930 01:55:05,679 --> 01:55:11,159 restrictions for the vape shop and and 1931 01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:12,880 the smoke shop uses as well so there 1932 01:55:11,159 --> 01:55:14,360 would be a limitation to the number of 1933 01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:16,719 businesses that' be able to go in that 1934 01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:18,560 District but it is being proposed uh 1935 01:55:16,719 --> 01:55:20,560 that it's a permitted use there and 1936 01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:24,040 there a followup question if we did 1937 01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:25,679 remove that Corridor um that wouldn't 1938 01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:28,159 prohibit their continued business that 1939 01:55:25,679 --> 01:55:29,560 would allow us to if they were ever to 1940 01:55:28,159 --> 01:55:30,920 close business unfortunately there would 1941 01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,920 not be a replacement in that area 1942 01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:34,599 correct correct if it was not permitted 1943 01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:35,639 in the Upper Union Street District it 1944 01:55:34,599 --> 01:55:37,920 would become a pre-existing 1945 01:55:35,639 --> 01:55:40,239 non-performing use um and unless the 1946 01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:41,599 council chose to amortize pre-existing 1947 01:55:40,239 --> 01:55:43,119 non-performing uses they would be 1948 01:55:41,599 --> 01:55:47,760 permitted to continue as long as they 1949 01:55:43,119 --> 01:55:50,760 don't discon thank you Mr B can you send 1950 01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:52,960 us a uh version where we electronic 1951 01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:55,119 version so we can kind of see the 1952 01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:58,000 streets yes we do have a pdf version we 1953 01:55:55,119 --> 01:56:01,280 can circulate uh and we could probably 1954 01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:03,880 cut off NY and reram to T it up a little 1955 01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:05,520 bit but it's just a very large map to 1956 01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:09,079 try to get the whole thing on one pie 1957 01:56:05,520 --> 01:56:13,719 paper um but uh uh the PDF you can zoom 1958 01:56:09,079 --> 01:56:16,480 in and see uh partial detail oh good um 1959 01:56:13,719 --> 01:56:18,400 so uh Mr C didn't mention the area 1960 01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:22,560 around the choices but then we have 1961 01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:23,920 another um um facility that's going up 1962 01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:25,800 near Bethesda house it's part of 1963 01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:27,520 Bethesda house so are those 1964 01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:29,520 considerations those being taken 1965 01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:31,360 considerations because again they house 1966 01:56:29,520 --> 01:56:33,360 a more vulnerable 1967 01:56:31,360 --> 01:56:35,440 population um certainly that's something 1968 01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:37,520 that we can take into consideration uh 1969 01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:39,239 it wasn't specifically discussed for 1970 01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:41,159 purposes of preparing this map but if 1971 01:56:39,239 --> 01:56:43,400 there are certain things that the 1972 01:56:41,159 --> 01:56:45,320 council would like to see or or changes 1973 01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:49,280 or modifications we can certainly take 1974 01:56:45,320 --> 01:56:51,719 that um into account and uh and hone in 1975 01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:53,840 on those parcels and see where they are 1976 01:56:51,719 --> 01:56:56,239 um ideally what we would want to avoid 1977 01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:58,280 in a scenario like this is picking and 1978 01:56:56,239 --> 01:57:01,000 choosing what Parcels so the overlay 1979 01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:04,119 should be continuous um you know unless 1980 01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:06,639 we're leaving out a chunk of an area for 1981 01:57:04,119 --> 01:57:09,199 specific purpose um like we did here 1982 01:57:06,639 --> 01:57:11,360 this is the uh this little spot here is 1983 01:57:09,199 --> 01:57:13,239 actually an R2 District um that's just 1984 01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:16,159 kind of like left on State Street so we 1985 01:57:13,239 --> 01:57:17,880 not do that cuz it's not commercial um 1986 01:57:16,159 --> 01:57:19,599 but uh we don't want to spot Z so we 1987 01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:23,360 don't want to we don't want to pick in 1988 01:57:19,599 --> 01:57:24,719 choose um one parcel versus you know the 1989 01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,239 parcel next door is not going to allow 1990 01:57:24,719 --> 01:57:28,480 but two Parcels down we are going to 1991 01:57:26,239 --> 01:57:31,639 allow so it has to be pretty a pretty 1992 01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:32,840 large area correct but you know I'm not 1993 01:57:31,639 --> 01:57:34,480 familiar with that area that you're 1994 01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:36,560 referencing so there may be a reason 1995 01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:38,480 maybe that area shouldn't be included um 1996 01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:40,440 you know it's just uh um it's certainly 1997 01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:43,079 something that we can take a look at 1998 01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:44,800 okay Mr Williams but I think to previous 1999 01:57:43,079 --> 01:57:47,119 conversations Mr C that could be 2000 01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:48,840 something built into an exemption to 2001 01:57:47,119 --> 01:57:52,040 incorporate vulnerable populations is 2002 01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:54,000 that correct understanding an exemption 2003 01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:56,079 um I gu I that there was language also 2004 01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:59,239 well you know there's language that can 2005 01:57:56,079 --> 01:58:01,199 be used not for the purposes of cannabis 2006 01:57:59,239 --> 01:58:05,000 dispensary right because that's already 2007 01:58:01,199 --> 01:58:07,480 being regulated by the St um but um as 2008 01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:10,040 it applies to the smoke shops and vape 2009 01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:13,560 shops uh the city council can certainly 2010 01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:17,239 set up you know a number of feet away 2011 01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:20,119 from another smoke shop vape shop or 2012 01:58:17,239 --> 01:58:22,840 some type of you know a school or 2013 01:58:20,119 --> 01:58:25,159 um a reh a rehabilitation facility or 2014 01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:28,880 something along those lines for those 2015 01:58:25,159 --> 01:58:31,320 non Canabis related um shops that would 2016 01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:34,480 be regulated over this uh overlay 2017 01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:34,480 District thank 2018 01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:40,840 you anything else anybody want to have 2019 01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:43,159 them consider look into what we're what 2020 01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:44,639 we're moving ahead on this I'm sorry is 2021

the PDF so that 2024 01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:54,520 we can see so we can 2025 01:58:52,199 --> 01:58:56,079 see well thank you very much and so you 2026 01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:59,719 said within a month then you would be 2027 01:58:56,079 --> 01:59:02,199 able to our goal is to have a a solid 2028 01:58:59,719 --> 01:59:05,000 written draft of the actual ordinance 2029 01:59:02,199 --> 01:59:06,760 itself uh within a month um so that we 2030 01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:07,800 can uh we can move forward with that 2031 01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:09,960 process because that's going to be the 2032 01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:12,400 meat potato so what we do here though 2033 01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:15,199 overly the map is just is actually the 2034 01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:17,199 small piece it's a 2035 01:59:15,199 --> 01:59:19,960 good well thank you glad we're moving 2036 01:59:17,199 --> 01:59:22,199 ahead thank you very much and if I can 2037 01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:24,199 add on to that um the map is still 2038 01:59:22,199 --> 01:59:25,239 something obviously as Mr Marne 2039 01:59:24,199 --> 01:59:27,719 indicated we're going to work on the 2040 01:59:25,239 --> 01:59:29,800 language for what the silver L what the 2041 01:59:27,719 --> 01:59:31,920 requirements will be but this map is 2042 01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:34,760 still something that you know will be 2043 01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:38,360 modified um over time as you provide us 2044 01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:40,040 with additional feedback on um you know 2045 01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:42,040 your thoughts as a council on what you 2046 01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:45,560 want and what you don't want areas that 2047 01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:48,079 you think might be um more sensitive to 2048 01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:51,199 having these types of businesses there 2049 01:59:48,079 --> 01:59:53,040 um versus other areas that maybe we did 2050 01:59:51,199 --> 01:59:54,960 not highlight in red where you think it 2051 01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:57,320 would be right to allow these types of 2052 01:59:54,960 --> 02:00:00,000 businesses um so obviously we continue 2053 01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:02,119 to welcome uh the comments from the city 2054 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:03,599 council so that we can make your Visions 2055 02:00:02,119 --> 02:00:06,960 a reality for this 2056 02:00:03,599 --> 02:00:10,320 purpose thank you thank you uh so item 2057 02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:10,320 number four is 2058 02:00:11,199 --> 02:00:15,599 um uh the discussion regarding the 2059 02:00:13,679 --> 02:00:17,480 six-month moratorium uh on the 2060 02:00:15,599 --> 02:00:20,360 submission and processing of um building 2061 02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:24,599 permits etc for for um smoke shops VAP 2062 02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:29,480 shops tobacco or V consumption 2063 02:00:24,599 --> 02:00:29,480 businesses and we did um send for 2064 02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:39,360 a an opinion by uh from the county um 2065 02:00:35,719 --> 02:00:43,840 Planning Commission and everybody got 2066 02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:46,920 that so um we just take a look at that 2067 02:00:43,840 --> 02:00:51,119 and further discussion on on this 2068 02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:51,119 particular item 2069 02:00:51,239 --> 02:00:53,520 okay 2070 02:00:55,199 --> 02:01:01,079 mhm okay 2071 02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:02,119 so this point in time um there's no 2072 02:01:01,079 --> 02:01:06,320 discussion 2073 02:01:02,119 --> 02:01:09,239 no of the what we received from the 2074 02:01:06,320 --> 02:01:11,920 county so at this point in time we need 2075 02:01:09,239 --> 02:01:14,800 to decide whether we um go forward with 2076 02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:18,040 the moratorium 2077 02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:21,560 or or 2078 02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:25,000 not Mr just a follow up with regards to 2079 02:01:21,560 --> 02:01:27,520 our last conversation and the update we 2080 02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:29,679 received from McCarthy regarding to the 2081 02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:32,960 enforcement and talking to the may this 2082 02:01:29,679 --> 02:01:36,960 afternoon and uh with four additional um 2083 02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:39,760 shop submit applications so in total um 2084 02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:42,239 there's a significant amount of 2085 02:01:39,760 --> 02:01:44,079 um shops are submitting their 2086 02:01:42,239 --> 02:01:47,520 application to coming 2087 02:01:44,079 --> 02:01:50,159 compliance so as I said before I mean 2088 02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:52,679 the enforcement is going on let's 2089 02:01:50,159 --> 02:01:54,719 look at what's happening and allow these 2090 02:01:52,679 --> 02:01:56,280 business to come in compliance I don't 2091 02:01:54,719 --> 02:01:58,280 think we should do a moreor at this 2092 02:01:56,280 --> 02:01:59,960 point in time the enforcement 2093 02:01:58,280 --> 02:02:00,719 significant amount of enforcement is 2094 02:01:59,960 --> 02:02:04,000 going 2095 02:02:00,719 --> 02:02:06,079 on so that's my point at this 2096 02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:08,800 point can I just ask the point of 2097 02:02:06,079 --> 02:02:10,520 clarification you mean um four shops 2098 02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:12,880 that are coming into compliance that are 2099 02:02:10,520 --> 02:02:15,000 already um started or are you saying 2100 02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:16,599 this four new shops that based on the 2101 02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:19,440 last report that we received two weeks 2102 02:02:16,599 --> 02:02:21,960 ago the four more application 2103 02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:24,159 certificate of use 2104 02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:26,040 application so they're existing already 2105 02:02:24,159 --> 02:02:28,480 but they did not have their paperwork in 2106 02:02:26,040 --> 02:02:31,320 cor Bas some of the notes you have here 2107 02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:35,040 there four more should be updated here 2108 02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:36,719 okay so yes Mr T so there just 2109 02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:38,599 originally they were just opening 2110 02:02:36,719 --> 02:02:41,360 without compliance from the 2111 02:02:38,599 --> 02:02:44,560 city like popping up that was one of the 2112 02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:47,040 main reasons so I wanted a moratorium to 2113 02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:50,480 put a halt on them so um we would know 2114 02:02:47,040 --> 02:02:57,040 if one opened up that you know 2115 02:02:50,480 --> 02:03:01,560 yeah so so and I and I did um find three 2116 02:02:57,040 --> 02:03:04,360 that um weren't on the list um that that 2117 02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:06,960 the mayor had issued so I can pass 2118 02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:11,560 that's they popped 2119 02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:14,760 up na has been out St I send those to na 2120 02:03:11,560 --> 02:03:16,880 one was on Michigan Avenue one was on 2121 02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:18,960 Broadway I can't recall where the third 2122 02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:20,880 one is but I mean I think there's three 2123 02:03:18,960 --> 02:03:23,560 on Broadway already but I did check them 2124 02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:25,239 off to the rist so okay um but again 2125 02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:29,239 they're just popping up wherever they 2126 02:03:25,239 --> 02:03:31,760 want to pop up for whatever reason um so 2127 02:03:29,239 --> 02:03:34,560 did you forward those um that you found 2128 02:03:31,760 --> 02:03:36,760 yeah you already did no I 2129 02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:38,280 will so they could have been existing 2130 02:03:36,760 --> 02:03:43,079 and we just didn't we didn't know they 2131 02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:45,480 weren't on the list correct okay Mr WS 2132 02:03:43,079 --> 02:03:47,520 so I think one of my comments is that's 2133 02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:49,719 that's one assumption I think would also 2134 02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:51,480 I think I I would in infer from them 2135 02:03:49,719 --> 02:03:53,360 coming into compliances maybe they were 2136 02:03:51,480 --> 02:03:55,360 unaware and I think that as we deal with 2137 02:03:53,360 --> 02:03:57,280 the community I think having people that 2138 02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:59,880 are actively working towards once 2139 02:03:57,280 --> 02:04:01,239 they've been identified so I can respect 2140 02:03:59,880 --> 02:04:02,760 that the enforcement seems to be working 2141 02:04:01,239 --> 02:04:05,719 at this present time with for coming 2142 02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:08,280 back into uh I guess good standings but 2143 02:04:05,719 --> 02:04:10,119 definitely I think if there is a a 2144 02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:11,599 company that is not being responsive I 2145 02:04:10,119 --> 02:04:14,440 think that would be a blatant indication 2146 02:04:11,599 --> 02:04:16,400 of just not wanting to follow the 2147 02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:19,800 appropriate local 2148 02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:21,760 laws Mr Val y we're I mean just given 2149 02:04:19,800 --> 02:04:24,079 our previous discussion we're moving 2150 02:04:21,760 --> 02:04:27,920 forward on zoning anyway it's going to 2151 02:04:24,079 --> 02:04:30,679 be relatively quick to do this um makes 2152 02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:33,159 sense to have the moratorium that way if 2153 02:04:30,679 --> 02:04:35,880 new shops do pop up and they are popping 2154 02:04:33,159 --> 02:04:40,159 up um we automatically know they're 2155 02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:43,880 illegal um we can have those shut down 2156 02:04:40,159 --> 02:04:46,719 right away um but the zoning process 2157 02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:49,480 we're looking at what a month two months 2158 02:04:46,719 --> 02:04:52,119 at the most that if there's a 2159 02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:56,599 shop that's existing looking to do 2160 02:04:52,119 --> 02:04:59,800 something to get their their uh self in 2161 02:04:56,599 --> 02:05:02,239 compliance that doesn't impact them so 2162 02:04:59,800 --> 02:05:05,119 we can move forward with the moratorium 2163 02:05:02,239 --> 02:05:07,280 stop it get the zoning in place help the 2164 02:05:05,119 --> 02:05:09,719 enforcement aspect yes there's 2165 02:05:07,280 --> 02:05:12,400 enforcement going on but new shops are 2166 02:05:09,719 --> 02:05:15,000 popping up just makes sense to do the 2167 02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:17,400 moratorium for the few months until we 2168 02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:19,920 get the zoning in place so I just want 2169 02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:22,119 to uh Mr col if you to clarify um this 2170 02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:25,320 for me if there's a shop that's 2171 02:05:22,119 --> 02:05:27,239 currently open but not in compliant and 2172 02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:29,239 we move forward with this what happens 2173 02:05:27,239 --> 02:05:32,280 to that 2174 02:05:29,239 --> 02:05:34,719 shop if they're not in compliance then 2175 02:05:32,280 --> 02:05:36,280 correct then and they continue to open 2176 02:05:34,719 --> 02:05:38,079 after a moratorium has been passed they 2177 02:05:36,280 --> 02:05:40,000 will be in violation the moratorium and 2178 02:05:38,079 --> 02:05:42,159 they could potentially be cited and we 2179 02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:43,960 can see conjunctive relief to 2180 02:05:42,159 --> 02:05:45,880 essentially shut them down during the 2181 02:05:43,960 --> 02:05:47,719 period of the 2182 02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:49,239 moratorium that that's what I want to 2183 02:05:47,719 --> 02:05:51,199 know because then then doesn't not allow 2184 02:05:49,239 --> 02:05:52,760 them to come in compliance I me they 2185 02:05:51,199 --> 02:05:54,480 could get their paperwork in if they 2186 02:05:52,760 --> 02:05:56,719 know we're doing a moratorium they could 2187 02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:59,559 at least start that process and there's 2188 02:05:56,719 --> 02:06:01,520 a cuta

2194 02:06:10,199 --> 02:06:17,400 that hardship is um just the failure to 2195 02:06:14,040 --> 02:06:19,440 you know to be in compliance and having 2196 02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:23,159 been open

02:06:30,599 some extenuating circumstance that the 2200 02:06:27,199 --> 02:06:32,520 council sees just and fit to 2201 02:06:30,599 --> 02:06:36,480 allow 2202 02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:38,719 okay Mr

come into 2224 02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:31,119 compliance that is my position 2225 02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:34,599 to allow the enforcement 2226 02:07:31,119 --> 02:07:37,639 to to work itself 2227 02:07:34,599 --> 02:07:40,400 out so you're not in favor of moving 2228 02:07:37,639 --> 02:07:43,520 forward with the moratorium that is 2229 02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:47,000 correct I feel the same way 2230 02:07:43,520 --> 02:07:48,119 okay okay well um then that's then we're 2231 02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,480 not going to be able to will not be 2232 02:07:48,119 --> 02:07:51,719 moving forward the moratorium but we'll 2233 02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:54,239 be continuing with the 2234 02:07:51,719 --> 02:07:57,840 enforcement thank 2235 02:07:54,239 --> 02:08:00,599 you yes uh as a point of clarification 2236 02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:03,199 so does that cease the moratorium is it 2237 02:08:00,599 --> 02:08:05,719 in a pause status um we never voted it 2238 02:08:03,199 --> 02:08:06,559 through so it never started thank you 2239 02:08:05,719 --> 02:08:09,360 you're 2240 02:08:06,559 --> 02:08:11,239 welcome all right so item number five is 2241 02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:14,840 to discuss the process of handling the 2242 02:08:11,239 --> 02:08:17,440 outstanding accounts in um from SL slbc 2243 02:08:14,840 --> 02:08:20,400 as you remember I brought this forward 2244 02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:23,639 before um because there was a um excuse 2245 02:08:20,400 --> 02:08:28,119 me a resolution that was passed in 201 2246 02:08:23,639 --> 02:08:32,119 um3 I believe um that the language in it 2247 02:08:28,119 --> 02:08:34,159 made it sound as though we were the um 2248 02:08:32,119 --> 02:08:38,800 administration of it was in the hands of 2249 02:08:34,159 --> 02:08:40,280 the city council and so we passed that 2250 02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:42,480 that's not what we wanted to happen but 2251 02:08:40,280 --> 02:08:44,559 um unfortunately the language was not 2252 02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:48,079 was not that ended up in the resolution 2253 02:08:44,559 --> 02:08:48,960 was not what um we had discussed at this 2254 02:08:48,079 --> 02:08:50,920 table 2255 02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:53,239 so um bringing it back for further 2256 02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:54,880 discussion and Clarity on what that 2257 02:08:53,239 --> 02:08:56,920 resolution needs to look like to make 2258 02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:59,800 sure that it's not 2259 02:08:56,920 --> 02:09:01,079 responsibility of the um city council 2260 02:08:59,800 --> 02:09:05,880 but rather the 2261 02:09:01,079 --> 02:09:07,239 city so Mr Cen if you would just sure I 2262 02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:08,440 have the opportunity to speak to 2263 02:09:07,239 --> 02:09:10,079 president Porterfield about this 2264 02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:13,119 resolution and I think we both agree 2265 02:09:10,079 --> 02:09:14,840 that you know um the language could have 2266 02:09:13,119 --> 02:09:16,840 been better but at the same time I think 2267 02:09:14,840 --> 02:09:20,760 it accomplishes what it was meant to 2268 02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:23,440 accomplish um the obviously um the city 2269 02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:25,400 council acts as uh the body that would 2270 02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:28,040 be accepting mortgages for the purposes 2271 02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:30,920 of of assignment and that's exactly what 2272 02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:34,199 happened in this resolution um the 2273 02:09:30,920 --> 02:09:37,520 administration of um what happens once 2274 02:09:34,199 --> 02:09:40,159 we take um you know um ownership of 2275 02:09:37,520 --> 02:09:41,760 those mortgages um would be something 2276 02:09:40,159 --> 02:09:43,800 that would be carried out by City 2277 02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:46,480 departments as the city council doesn't 2278 02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:49,239 really have the capacity or um the power 2279 02:09:46,480 --> 02:09:52,079 to carry out those mortgages 2280 02:09:49,239 --> 02:09:53,639 um so that resolved statement here is 2281 02:09:52,079 --> 02:09:55,480 that the city council agrees to accept 2282 02:09:53,639 --> 02:09:58,840 the assignment is doing so on behalf of 2283 02:09:55,480 --> 02:10:00,199 the city um and um what would make sense 2284 02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:02,239 related to that is because the city 2285 02:10:00,199 --> 02:10:03,520 council isn't signing the assignments 2286 02:10:02,239 --> 02:10:07,159 themselves to accept it it was 2287 02:10:03,520 --> 02:10:09,960 authorizing the mayor to sign it um so 2288 02:10:07,159 --> 02:10:12,639 there was some um confusion on my part I 2289 02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:14,520 guess um from the last meeting because 2290 02:10:12,639 --> 02:10:15,960 um there was nothing here that I saw 2291 02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:17,800 that had to be amended because I think 2292 02:10:15,960 --> 02:10:19,239 it accomplished exactly what needed to 2293 02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:21,360 be accomplished 2294 02:10:19,239 --> 02:10:24,960 um and those mortgages have been and and 2295 02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:28,559 accounts have been assigned byc to the 2296 02:10:24,960 --> 02:10:31,480 city um I know Mr Brown and I have been 2297 02:10:28,559 --> 02:10:34,920 talking frequently about these uh 2298 02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:38,520 mortgages because obviously um we have 2299 02:10:34,920 --> 02:10:41,599 folks reaching out to us looking for um 2300 02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:43,599 satisfactions and um obviously also 2301 02:10:41,599 --> 02:10:46,199 there's been a paperwork issue that the 2302 02:10:43,599 --> 02:10:47,880 council's aware of um so we can kind of 2303 02:10:46,199 --> 02:10:49,920 keep track of what was assigned and what 2304 02:10:47,880 --> 02:10:51,760 was previously paid and that's something 2305 02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:53,079 that we continue to work through so I'm 2306 02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:56,119 happy to answer any questions that you 2307 02:10:53,079 --> 02:10:59,440 may have related to this um resolution 2308 02:10:56,119 --> 02:11:02,000 and um any questions about any type of 2309 02:10:59,440 --> 02:11:05,559 um additional resolution that you see 2310 02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:08,400 I'll see fit to uh 2311 02:11:05,559 --> 02:11:12,199 pass so my concern was was that the 2312 02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:14,440 original resolution in 2013 um was not 2313 02:11:12,199 --> 02:11:16,159 did not like for me anyway spell out 2314 02:11:14,440 --> 02:11:17,840 that the city council would do it on 2315 02:11:16,159 --> 02:11:20,360 behalf of the city but you're saying 2316 02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:21,679 that because our only role is that we 2317 02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:23,040 would that the city would actually do 2318 02:11:21,679 --> 02:11:25,599 the administration the city council 2319 02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:29,280 would just approve it is that then 2320 02:11:25,599 --> 02:11:31,440 that's 2013 as it stands is fine the one 2321 02:11:29,280 --> 02:11:31,440 in 2322 02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:41,199 2013 mayor my in reviewing this have 2323 02:11:37,239 --> 02:11:44,880 been part of the discussion is that 2324 02:11:41,199 --> 02:11:47,360 entity was 2325 02:11:44,880 --> 02:11:49,400 dissolved there were some assets that 2326 02:11:47,360 --> 02:11:52,920 were out 2327 02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:55,320 outstanding uh mortgages most of which 2328 02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:58,760 if not all of which had been funded 2329 02:11:55,320 --> 02:12:01,760 through City assets that had been given 2330 02:11:58,760 --> 02:12:01,760 to 2331 02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:07,960 slbc and that transferred those assets 2332 02:12:06,079 --> 02:12:11,800 back to the 2333 02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:14,800 city and the followup is handled in the 2334 02:12:11,800 --> 02:12:18,079 normal course of business if and the 2335 02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:21,280 question has come up sometimes if those 2336 02:12:18,079 --> 02:12:24,960 mortgages were going to be discharged 2337 02:12:21,280 --> 02:12:30,000 absent payment of them so if a mortgage 2338 02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:32,239 is paid uh I sign the satisfaction 2339 02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:34,719 saying that the city has received it we 2340 02:12:32,239 --> 02:12:35,760 do this in uh number of times some of 2341 02:12:34,719 --> 02:12:37,400 our 2342 02:12:35,760 --> 02:12:40,599 non 2343 02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:41,840 uh our paper lanss that we put against 2344 02:12:40,599 --> 02:12:44,199 properties to make sure that they're 2345 02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:47,520 owner occupied other things when those 2346 02:12:44,199 --> 02:12:51,920 terms and conditions are established I 2347 02:12:47,520 --> 02:12:53,679 can sign that if there was a situation 2348 02:12:51,920 --> 02:12:56,280 where we were going to discharge the 2349 02:12:53,679 --> 02:12:58,000 mortgage or wave it absent payment of it 2350 02:12:56,280 --> 02:13:00,159 it would have to come back to the city 2351 02:12:58,000 --> 02:13:02,760 council and the council would have to 2352 02:13:00,159 --> 02:13:05,599 vote on it to 2353 02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:08,360 say they've reduced the amount of money 2354 02:13:05,599 --> 02:13:10,760 they've waved what's owed or whatever 2355 02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:12,480 the final disposition that was being 2356 02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:16,440 negotiated 2357 02:13:12,480 --> 02:13:18,800 or entertained at that point in time and 2358 02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:19,679 so 2013 covers that so we don't need to 2359 02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:23,800 do 2360 02:13:19,679 --> 02:13:25,119 anything is that what your yes okay all 2361 02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:28,440 right that answers that so we don't have 2362 02:13:25,119 --> 02:13:28,440 to need to do that all 2363 02:13:28,620 --> 02:13:34,040 [Music] 2364 02:13:29,960 --> 02:13:35,880 right okay um um just yes the last time 2365 02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:39,559 we discuss this we asked we asked for a 2366 02:13:35,880 --> 02:13:42,040 list of the outstanding mortgages did we 2367 02:13:39,559 --> 02:13:45,360 did we receive that so um that seems 2368 02:13:42,040 --> 02:13:48,679 like to be something that's hard to find 2369 02:13:45,360 --> 02:13:51,400 um we gone to um 2370 02:13:48,679 --> 02:13:53,719 something like Metroplex they thought 2371 02:13:51,400 --> 02:13:55,440 some files were there there will be 2372 02:13:53,719 --> 02:13:57,599 there um thought we think there may be 2373 02:13:55,440 --> 02:14:00,520 some files here so at this point in time 2374 02:13:57,599 --> 02:14:04,440 I don't know that there's a list Mr 2375 02:14:00,520 --> 02:14:04,440 Brown would you like to speak to that 2376 02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:11,800 yes so currently we have a working list 2377 02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:14,960 that we're still expanding on um certain 2378 02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:17,280 files um through the dissolution went to 2379 02:14:14,960 --> 02:14:19,159 Metroplex because they also funded some 2380 02:14:17,280 --> 02:14:21,040 of those so the ones that the city 2381 02:14:19,159 --> 02:14:23,559 funded most of those all came to the 2382 02:14:21,040 -->
