Members pleas please read the agenda
item item number one for original
consideration an ordinance pursuant to
section 36 of the second class City's
laws and article F six of the charter of
the city of scen approving and adopting
the proposed operating budget for 2024
and authorizing the Appropriations
therein enumerated thank you at this
time if there any um discussion from the
city
council Mr Williams uh I believe what
the public witnessed during the entirety
of this budget meeting was uh trying to
understand how to best negotiate um what
you've recognized was there are
individuals on both sides uh that were
trying to make concessions where due uh
I think what I recognized from my
vantage point was
uh we were um presented with the mayor's
budget and then there were a number of
council members I can say myself uh that
I was not in entire agreement for his
budget and I think that for this process
to work smoothly it requires uh
productive and effective dialogue uh it
was more challenging than not at
sometimes but I'm confident that this
presented budget reflects the abilities
of myself I speak for myself to try and
meet in the middle and present a budget
that best meets the considerations of
the city
of so any further discussion Mr M Baron
yes thank you um I just to add to that I
mean it's a long um process
unfortunately we went beyond our
schedule to get a budget this year
but it's you know all of us uh mov
forward we should take that as a lesson
and to pretty much you know kind of work
more stronger together I would say work
together work more stronger together so
that we can able and as Mr Williams says
you know we need to come to the table
with an open mind be respective of each
other's opinion each other's comments
and at the same time we should not be
digging our heels in the sand and say
well the budget the
budget it's been happening for years as
long as I've been on this Council here
where the mayor present his budget we as
Council we have an obligation to the
taxpayers to review the budget to go for
the budget and to look at the budget and
this one here is no different from all
the others that we have reviewed in the
past yes some will say it's painful
because we're doing it public in the
past and I can say that we have
negotiation budget negotiation at at
council members house and I was part of
that so there's no secret about that and
now we're doing it here in the public
yes it's painful because we we have to
be accountable to the taxpayer and they
say yes connected so I want to encourage
everybody as we move
forward next year I will ask that we
have more open communication from the
mayor's office from the council
president whoever that president is and
from the chair of Finance whoever that
chair is next year so all of us need to
work
together more so that we can able to
deliver better for our taxpayer and the
C
connec as the mayor mention we have seen
over the in this budget presentation
they will be short Falls and when do we
address
it and that's what some of the me
majority of the members were looking at
to address it this this year rather than
waiting till next year and I think
that's what most of our decide to do is
to address the short Falls that is
tearing on us in
2025 and that's what concern are is that
we keep spending and it's not right for
us to pass those spending on on the back
of the ordinary
taxpayers and I think discussion was
fruitful everybody had an opportunity on
the table here to discuss we had
department heads in several times the
public has spoken the public has called
every one of us taxpayers I'm sure we
got a fair share of calls from everybody
concerned
about the
fees concerned about things are going up
and the service that been
provided is there any further
discussion so first of all I just would
like to uh thank you all council members
for your diligence and the mayor for
working on this budget and I'm glad
we're at the point where we're
considering passing the budget uh pass
the budget is a single most function um
of the city council and all Council
changes just for every when it's cleared
all the changes that were um are being
made by the council were discussed at
this table and presented at this table
openly and negotiation really should be
a two-way street and so some council
members came with changes that they were
interested in and others did not so we
only could consider what was brought
before us to um to to to to consider I
know that this budget process took a
longer than usual and I guess the last
time was 30 years ago um and but it it
took that long we just could not get to
that place but we finally gotten to a
place where we can consider this
budget and you know people talk about
the fees and we have to consider our
taxpayers and how we're impacting them
and if we want to maintain our reserves
we don't only do that by raising fees on
taxpayers and and um uh taxes on
taxpayers but we have to look at other
ways that we can conceivably cut our
spending so that we can um have a
balanced budget and not um only uh
burden our taxpayers
since the mayor has predicted that there
will be a deficit I think it's incumbent
upon this Council to review our
financial status on a quarterly basis in
order to keep track of where we are and
to make any adjustments that may be
necessary during 2024 and that we not
just wait until our annual budget and
then consider those things so that would
be something that I would propose
putting forward um so at this point in
time no one else have
comments um so the motion the item
before us and I haven't had a heard for
a roll call see a roll okay okay and
this this time with Miss M Michael call
the rooll Mr M Baron yes Mr Toro
no Mr Farley yes Mr Williams yes M
Patrick no Mr palini just want to
explain my vote no no we've done that
this has gone on for decades and if you
want to change the rules you change the
rules prior our Corporation Council has
told us our discussion takes place
before then no the council has never
agreed on that and there's been it's in
the it's in the code there's been
explanation of votes for decades it's
been in the code it's in the code using
the code prop you want to change the
rules and the
council and I would ask you to abide by
the code well then you've not abided by
the code for 2
years so so then and Mr Cen brought it
to our attention that we hadn't and so
now we are when was that discussed at
the council meeting it's in the code we
don't have this yes it does because you
changed the rules we did not change the
rules you have changed R we've discussed
votes Forever at this counil and the
last two times we did it we did it this
way and so but there was no discussion
it's in the code no see you want to hide
under the code the fact is that this
budget was a ridiculous process it was
political completely political because
of an election
year you'd sit there and talk about the
taxpayers you've done nothing to help
the taxpayers in fact all you're doing
is going to create a worse situation for
taxpayers in 2025 2026 and onward you've
taken away the ability of the mayor and
the staff to do the management that they
require that they should be able to do
you've created deficits in this budget
which is going to just increase the
deficit that's going
forward the the mayor said the budget
deficit is going to be
7.4 for sake argument we'll say it's
3.7 with this budget you've now created
a situation where that 3.7 is even going
to be
larger you've created a deficit with the
police and fire budgets which you've cut
in in overtime we automatically know
that that's going to be more because
they're
understaffed you've cut the open
positions which you yourself just a few
months ago put out literature and let me
read it so I get it right
the let's
see invest in
connty is what you're saying restore
city services fill many longstanding
vacant city jobs in the general Services
engineering and development departments
when positions aren't filled your calls
go unanswered your street doesn't get
plowed and code enforcement is
inadequate then it
continues potholes matter adequately
staff engineering and general Services
departments to restore roads and
sidewalks well that was a bunch of loany
wasn't it since we now have those
positions cut doesn't
matter you've not created any situation
where your cost savings because those
positions were unfilled that you cut if
you really wanted the cost save you
would have cut positions that
filled so instead of and you say oh your
numbers you said that last year when the
count the chair of finance of the
finance commissioner was asked where are
my numbers wrong they're not
wrong they were correct because here we
had we're using
4.4 million or whatever it was of arpa
money that's automatic deficit we're
using 6.6 million in Def arpa money this
year that's automatic deficit where is
that money going to come
from you sit there and say well people
didn't participate you cash your vote
sir I'm not done and so when positions
were brought up nope cuz certain
departments certain whatever couldn't be
touched well then you really didn't want
to hear from
people so this situation this budget was
a farce it creates a deficit situation
and it only goes to hurt the residents
of the city this is
ridiculous yes it is ridiculous please
what I would like to say is that I'm not
surprised you I'm not
surprised EXC me Mr Farley Mr Farley I'm
not surpris so would you please C your
vote when I'm finished so here Mr Excuse
when I'm finished we should talk done
this for decades that should not be
tolerated yeah it is respect when we've
had Decades of voting and now all of a
sudden you want to change the rules oh I'm not the parliamentarian I beg
your pardon I'm not the parliamentarian
there's no question this country though
I need you to CEST your my vote is now

Porterfield mayor McCarthy I also want

entire Board of the dsic joining us
tonight we have chair Heather Peterson
we have Ray leir we have Andrea Cordo we
have Phil wah we have Mitch Ramsey we
have
um Austin Fischer and we have Michael
Burns so we have quite a full house here
tonight uh just a couple quick notes um
regarding the dsic our environmental
enhancement and maintenance program or
eem which amounts to the overall
cleanliness and beautification of
downtown's connecti and the dsic
footprint promotions and marketing that
includes all events Maps social media
Weekly Newsletter and the ongoing
promotion and support of our
stakeholders and this year the dsic
proudly completed the jsquare project of
which we were
instrumental we are here tonight to
present our 2024 budget for your
consideration of the dsad assessment as
part of your packet you have three items
for review first is the 2024 proposed
dsad assessment summary you will see we
are proposing a total assessment of 300
80,000 this amount is up 25,000 from the
prior year in 2019 our district was
expanded to include parts of Broadway
Little Italy and Erie Boulevard most
recently we added J square and Gateway
Park as part of our eem program
responsibilities when our district was
expanded in 2019 an overall increase of
100,000 was approved to take place over
4 years years we froze that due to covid
like so many other things and this
budget proposal includes that last
installment of
$225,000 you will see we propose
increasing the base for minimum
fee from 340 to 360 which amounts to
about a dollar a day those are roughly
470 properties that pay that assessment
out of the 470 about half of them pay
the minimum fee which is about a dollar
a day private residences and rentals
properties with less than four units do
not pay any assessment the second page
is a summary of Where the funding comes
from to support our operation and
programming the First Column shows how
we allocate the dsad assessment
11,400 or 3% of the funds are allocated
to basic
Administration 14 144 or 30% of the
funds are allocated to our business
promotion programs events and all of
those things then you'll see 254 600 or
67% of the funds are
allocated um line share to our outdoor
program again the EM those are the guys
you see out there all the time if you
follow that along to the bottom line you
will see where the lebby contributes
380,000 to our overall support our
expenses are actually closer to
937 the balance of our funding comes
mainly from Metroplex Authority along
with our own fundraising and our own
events the third page is our budget with
the breakdown of what our revenue and
expenses are and how those amounts are
allocated to our programs and this is
where you'll see that there actually is
some decreases in some areas
reallocation we really went through it
very carefully and figured out where we
needed to to have our spending this year
and drop downs on some other things so
that's what I've got
and like to open it up to any questions come in go ahead please um
well I appreciate all the work that um
you all do on your board and I and I
thank you for all the work that you do
uh throughout the city um and I
appreciate the the differences here in
your budget but I did want to um just
ask a little bit about the difference in
the um the donations and sponsorships
um if you could just talk a little bit
about that from the 2023 to the 2024
budget right have the top right
here um oh so we we dropped that down a
little bit we we've already um our
donations and sponsorships we we've
already met a c a little bit of that at
this time and we felt that that was
something where we really could tweak it
um for for getting our donations that
maybe Chang changing up some of the
fundraising that we do a little bit and
kind of reallocate where we're actually
looking for maybe more sponsorship
dollars okay thank
you any other questions go ahead please
I just like to comment on um the
condition of downtown how nice it looks
and it helps with the Renaissance of the
everything that's going on um being uh
downtown I'm very appreciative of the
work that's done on a daily basis uh the
workers are out there day night snow
rain snow sleep hail icing every corner
so that residents can um you know get up
on the sidewalks that are maintained by
the by the area of residents and
businesses so I would just like to um
thank that I really like to see you move
a little further out of the city up
State Street so um and uh hopefully you
know you'll be able to do that moving
forward thank you I really appreciate
that and I got to tell you our folks
really appreciate when people stop them
in the street and have a little chat
with them and say thank you and kind of
bolsters them them up it's a tough job
and it's Relentless as you know so I
guess I would just Echo what my former
also council members saying because
sometimes people experience the city and
they see these really cool things
happening um but you could take it for
granted you know because honestly you
guys aren't really out here you know
beating the chest telling about all the
great work that you're doing so anytime
we get an opportunity on foration like
this is very refreshing and and it's
good for people to take away from this
that there's a lot of hard work and
planning that to go behind all the great
work that you guys are doing so I just
extend my appreciation as well
appreciate that thank
you any other coming from a young member
again thank you and thank you to all the
members are doing a wonderful job for
downtown residents and I appreciate that
thank you thank for coming there's
nothing we need to do on this item it's
just a reminder that there will be a
public hearing uh next Monday 700 p.m.
the next item is the presentation of the
2024 Upper Union Street bid do we have a
representative here
please thank you you're
welcome thank you I know it's always a
hard one to follow behind downtown
because we're a much more modest
group so they start the bar a little
high but um I'm here representing the
Upper Union Street business improvement
district I am the acting executive
director currently so thank you to the
city council for their support to mayor
mccy for his support as well um as I
just mentioned we have a more modest
budget that we run up on our you know
small neck of the woods but we've really
been focused and you'll see reflected in
the budget for this uh upcoming year on
beautification efforts on up reunion
street so this year a big um part of
that was getting brand new Street
planters that we were able to filled
with flowers that matched the downtown
uh landscape as well we actually worked
with downtown Improvement Corp and had
um brought their Landscaping Crews up
our way we actually um uh yeah paid to
have theirs come up take care of
installing flowers that match just for
the cohesion since we are one of the
thorough faires that take people into
downtown um and we took care of watering
so that way everything stayed looking as
good as when they planted it um and now
we're exploring some ideas for next year
that include some Urban art
opportunities uh we're working with
local artists um nonprofit art groups
just to try to bring some of what's
happening in downtown up to our neck of
the woods um you know we've obviously
had an interesting year as being the
first location with the dispensary in
connected and EMP Union Street uh which
has been a lot of the focus up our way
so we're researching opportunities for
extra signage for parking um and all of
that's kind of into our beautification
efforts here and then we still do have a
couple of events that we run uh a
Halloween trick-or treat for kids and
then our holiday tree lighting which is
this Saturday as well so I think that
pretty much touches on most of it if
there's any questions happy to answer
those questions come
on just one
again I'd like to thank you I I know
this Christmas decorations up by the the
um in the circle there yes um they are
they they look beautiful and spending a
lot of time and U visiting a lot of
businesses in the uh Upper Union Street
my account include it that um I always
like going up there things look nice and
I thank you for taking the time to make
it all the residents and U visitors
coming into the city appreciate how
pretty our city actually is so thank you
great thank you go ahead um I also would
like to just say the events are fun and
I know that the the trick-or treat thing
was just I mean it was unbelievable how
many people were out two years of
perfect weather too which helped cuz it
was near 70° 2 years in a row so yeah it
was wonderful to see this the sidewalks
full again you know in the postco world
it's just nice to see and we have a very
walkable community so you have a lot of
people that live on those side streets
coming out yeah it was great I know
talking with some of the businesses they
had a lot of fun with it too so
fantastic fantastic thank you very much
thank you thank you very much thank you thank you for you're doing you
and this is also just a reminder for a
public hearing uh next Monday 7
p.m. the next item is increasing the minimum income for New
York real real property tax
exemption Mr Williams yes uh so we left
off last meeting where miss m was going
to come and give us an update and some
proposed numbers so she's here at the
time I looking forward to hearing her
update um
so is it on um so I had had been
expecting some questions and I didn't
really get much from people um in
between the last time that I was here
you know I ran the two scenarios I still
would like to um encourage the the idea
that um you stick with a lower number um
to start because if we do have another
increase in Social Security in the
future we want to be able to adjust um
and you know stay like I I think I gave
the scenario of uh
4,400 and then I went all the way up to
or 45,000 and I just think that's a pretty big jump um to make in
terms of you know I think making an
increase would be a wise decision just
because we haven't done that since uh
2009 um but making a big jump could you
know I mean it's listening to the budget
stuff and all that it wouldn't want to
um have that be a problem you add to
that you know what what's going to
happen in the future
so
um so I don't yes are you so can you
before you gave us the amounts um so can
you tell us what the amounts are and
then which you would be um So currently
the um the threshold is
37,400 um and that's for that's the most
amount um and then as that reduces to
29,000 um that's how the percentages go
up so what I'm suggesting is instead of
37,400 we bump it up to
4,400 um and I had in those the scenario
and the paperwork that I had given you
last time you know that
um would looking at what a tax bill
would be for that amount um wouldn't be
as much of a hit as if we were to go any
higher than that um for the time
being um see again 7 4 uh
4,400 so it's just increasing it by
$3,000 increasing thank
you go ahead um and do we know or can
you I I mean I don't know that you can
estimate necessarily how much that is
going to hit our budget it's hard
because I don't know who's going to
apply that I think that was part of the
discussion last time is that it's it's
really a you know I mean it's anybody
who turned 65 um it's people that may
have been um may have lost the exemption
in the past because of a one oneoff situ
you know just one year um so it's hard
to predict we're getting a lot of
applications in now but a lot of these
are people who already had it um because
we just sent out our renewal notices so
got you thanks
yeah and you think by moving it to 45
that would be too drastic I do yeah I I
think it's just it's I think it's too
much to um to go at least for the first
year now the the fact that the state set
the limit at 50 you know I mean I think
we had a discussion too about down state
and and higher incomes down but it also
gives then if if we go to
4,400 it allows us in the future to you
know continue to to bump it up if we
need to
um and the 4,400 is commensurate it's 8%
increase so it's right along the lines
of the increase with Social Security
any other
question uh go ahead please so that's
the conclusion of the comments I
definitely appreciate you coming back to
the council writing us another upate uh
I know that we were identifying there's
no apparent rush because we have
conceived till March of 2024 to make a
determination it sounds more as if that
the council is accepting of the
4,400 price range just trying to gauge
where everyone
is
yeah and I believe there has to be a
public hear in
C some goad please are we calling for a
public hearing at this point or I think
so wanted to know gaug where where the
council sits in terms of
40,000 400 or 45,000 or
maximum I I I I'm incl to go with the
suggestion from U our assessor who is
knowledgeable in this field so I would
say that um let's look at 4,400 at this
point in time and then you know revisit
it if we need to down the
road more
that I mean I initially uh my natural
inclination was to I'd like to see it a
little higher but I think I'm based on
you know us not really being able to
gauge how many people I think that that
is where you know you know I definitely
offer that difference I
care so you would you like to move
forward now or we we can call for public
hearing since we have the information
have what we're going to move forward
with in terms of
numbers so would you like to wait
another two more
weeks uh heard from four council members
oh oh I I would support going to with
what our City Assessor is
recommending as
well I already already
said sure some make a motion uh that we
proceed with the
4,400 um based on Miss um M Roy's
recommendation which allows us to to
gauge how that affects our our city
moving forward and should we need to
continue with subsequent increases I
think that does it in a manner that's uh financially prudent to the city and
it's not going to overwhelm so we're
moving forward a motion to call for
public hearing based on those comment
and recommendation from the
assesses we have a second I'll second
all in favor I thank you thank you thank you very
much the public hearing is de December
11 thank you the next item is the
