hear um well before I read the official

347
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,640
resolution I just want to say a couple

348
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,240
of things um because I've known you for

349
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,240
a very long time and uh you and my

350
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,320
brother friends and so I remember Jim

351
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,480
store and all the stuff in the

352
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,880
neighborhood so you know really gives me

353
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,080
great pleasure and I wanted to be the

354
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,320
person to be able to present this to

355
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,360
you and on top of that the reason that I

356
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,799
actually knew about it is because your

357
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:53,320
co-workers thought so highly of you that

358
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,840
they reached out and said hey he's

359
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,720
retiring we're going to miss him but

360
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,480
we'd like for the council to du

361
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,679
resolution so I think that speaks very

362
00:20:00,679 --> 00:20:02,280
highly of who you are as a person not

363
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,919
that I didn't already know but the

364
00:20:03,919 --> 00:20:05,840
people that you would spent 40 years not

365
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,600
the entire 40 some of them but the

366
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,559
people that you worked with dayt Day

367
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:11,520
thought it not robbery to reach out and

368
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,919
to say you know we'd like for him to be

369
00:20:14,919 --> 00:20:17,120
recognized so I know that we talked and

370
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:18,559
you said give you your flowers while

371
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:20,280
you're here so tonight you're getting

372
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,360
your flowers not literally we try that

373
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,559

everyone um it's been many years since

567
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,240
I've been in here but uh I'm glad to be

568
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,840
back um I live on Central

569
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,840
Parkway and I'm happy that the city is

570
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,559
going to be doing the

571
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:27,440
sidewalks um my only concern is the

572
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,559
water that gets in front of my house

573
00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:34,799
I've had many serious conditions

574
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:38,120
excessive water coming into the house my

575
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,120
furnace breaking the house sinking a

576
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,399
little bit and uh the sewer problems but

577
00:31:45,399 --> 00:31:47,639
um I think this will all get fixed with

578
00:31:47,639 --> 00:31:48,760
the

579
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,559
new excitement of putting the side walks

580
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:55,080
in and fixing the street and the curbs

581
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,840
so that's all I have to say

582
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,159
and I'm happy that the city is doing

583
00:32:00,159 --> 00:32:05,120
this and um I have nothing else to say

00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,190

work done on our streets I have a few

591
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:36,120
questions uh they're not long ones uh my

592
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,799
first question is how much is the city

593
00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:42,120
paying towards

594
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,559
our sidewalks and

595
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:47,880
curves the city itself how how much are

596
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,279
they paying does anyone know that answer

597
00:32:50,279 --> 00:32:52,039
so ma'am today tonight you just have an

598
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:54,240

all of the individuals in Central

605
00:33:05,679 --> 00:33:07,320
Parkway but tonight we will not be able

606
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,440

608
00:33:10,919 --> 00:33:12,600
questions and we will record them and

609
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,919
get them answered for you okay so all of

610
00:33:16,919 --> 00:33:19,240
my comments are a

611
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,000
question so I can't get any answers on

612
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,600
those not tonight but if you'd like to hand in those questions

613
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,960
we'll make sure that they are answered

614
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,679
for you as long as you have the contact

615
00:33:29,679 --> 00:33:31,360
information there if you want to answer

616
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,039
your questions out loud so everyone can

617
00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:35,519
hear them you're welcome to do that okay

618
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:39,720
so so my next question is there's a

619
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,720
slight difference between the principal

620
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,360
on the 10-year plan as opposed to the

621
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,880
15-year plan minor but it's $110

622
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,480
difference and I just wondered why that

623
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,760
is my third question is the travel Lane

624
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:03,559
is 2T shorter than what exists now would

625
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:06,799
that be narrowed on both sides of the

626
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:10,599
street and is it because of something

627
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:13,320
with the curves and the sidewalks that

628
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,200
are making it necessary to to narrow the

629
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,240
travel

630
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:21,200
Lane those are my questions and I just

631
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,919
wondered how many people from Central

632
00:34:22,919 --> 00:34:25,599
Parkway are here

633
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:27,599
tonight every everyone from Central

634
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:29,040
Parkway could raise your

635
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,720
hand there they are I'm just going to

636
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:44,230
count

637
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:46,560
them okay if you'd like to hand in your

638
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,639

639
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,159

640
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:52,560

641
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,240

642
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:57,520

643
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,079

646
00:35:08,839 --> 00:35:14,150
very much thank

647
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:20,950
you Julie

648
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,720
peretto hello good evening I'm Julie

649
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:25,839
parado I'm here with my husband we both

650
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:28,960
own a house together Central Parkway um

651
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,920
and I'm really really happy that this

652
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,560
initiative is moving forward um we love

653
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,839
the neighborhood we've lived there for

654
00:35:34,839 --> 00:35:36,800
about seven years and I think it's

655
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,320
really going to increase the walkability

656
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,839
of the neighborhood and really help with

657
00:35:40,839 --> 00:35:45,000
safety for the people who walk um so and

658
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,560
I really appreciate also the payment

659
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,760
plan I think that's going to be very

660
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,160
helpful but I did have some concerns

661
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,839
about the concept and the plan that was

662
00:35:51,839 --> 00:35:54,319
chosen that I wanted to voice um we

663
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:56,079
noticed that it's taking away the street

664
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:57,480
parking

665
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,880
and um that is and it's narrowing the

666
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,440
driving and taking away the on street

667
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,800
parking and I know that for us when we

668
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,599
went to purchase our home we took street

669
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:12,599
parking into consideration for when we

670
00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:16,599
had family gatherings and holidays um

671
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:17,520
and it's just going to be an

672
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,280
inconvenience for us to have to have our

673
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,440
friends and family park a block or two

674
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:26,319
down and then walk to our home um and

675
00:36:26,319 --> 00:36:27,960
you know that was a big factor as well

676
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,520
when we were home buying so I it we

677
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,760
don't want to move we love our

678
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,440
neighborhood but when we go to resell

679
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,240
our house in the future I just worry

680
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,800
about how that may impact our the cost

681
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,319
that we will get for our house um not

682
00:36:42,319 --> 00:36:45,200
having that street parking available um

683
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,520
so I guess my question is you know I

684
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,200
want the the sidewalk initiative we want

685
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,800
the upgrade um but is there a way that

686
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,599
we can be looking at other Concepts and

687
00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:57,359
plans to be able to keep the on street

688
00:36:57,359 --> 00:36:59,640
parking and that was it thank you so

689
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,309
much for your time thank

690
00:37:04,319 --> 00:37:13,190
you Jessica padulla

691
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,760
hello I'm not used to not facing all the

692
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,000
people usually when I lead things um so

693
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,760
I've never been to anything like this

694
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,319
before um I live at 875 Central Parkway

695
00:37:25,319 --> 00:37:27,839
so right on the corner the very first

696
00:37:27,839 --> 00:37:29,359
nice house ma'am you have to F you have

697
00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:31,000
to address that the very first nice

698
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,040
house over on the side

699
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,280
um when I was asked to sign the petition

700
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,599
for this project I'll be honest I wasn't

701
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:41,119
paying attention because I'm not used to

702
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:43,079
people coming to my door I keep to

703
00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:45,119
myself and you know whatever she was

704
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:47,640
proposing seemed fine enough signed it

705
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,480
the end um I what I didn't realize is

706
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,400
that I was being asked to pay for my own

707
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,880
sidewalk uh and I'm not in a position to

708
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,839
be able to do that if I had that amount

709
00:37:58,839 --> 00:38:01,760
of money I would probably fix my garage

710
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,560
over the summer there was um someone

711
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,319
stole a vehicle and then parked it in my

712
00:38:07,319 --> 00:38:10,280
three-car garage so I got called while I

713
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,200
was out of my home by the police to ask

714
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,160
me to come home and see what this stolen

715
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,680
car was about I didn't have the money to

716
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,400
fix the um garage door and so there's uh

717
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,720
wood in front of

718
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:22,880
it and

719
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,839
um yeah I'm all for like improving the

720
00:38:25,839 --> 00:38:27,960
neighborhood certainly certainly we all

721
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,359
want to have a nicer neighborhood but

722
00:38:29,359 --> 00:38:31,680
what I'm concerned about is one I can't

723
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,599
pay for another sidewalk two are we

724
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:35,319
going to make it so welcoming for people

725
00:38:35,319 --> 00:38:36,880
to be walking down the street that

726
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,359
they'll have uh more packages stolen

727
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:41,119
from my front porch am I going to have

728
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:43,040
my car broken into more times than it

729
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,920
already has been in the last eight years

730
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,160
so yeah I'm pretty upset about it I'm 42

731
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,880
years old and I've never voluntarily

732
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,599
come into a government building to speak

733
00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:56,520
publicly and here I am I guess it's

734
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,599
that's all I have to say thank you oh

735
00:38:58,599 --> 00:38:59,880
wait no no I have another thing because

736
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,119
I still have four minutes I am a single

737
00:39:02,119 --> 00:39:05,880
mother and I am a widow to a active duty

738
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,359
Navy serviceman and I was able to

739
00:39:08,359 --> 00:39:10,240
purchase this home from the settlement

740
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:12,560
that I received from his active duty

741
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,640
death that was my introduction to

787
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:33,349
item Mr

788
00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:36,760
Williams uh so I I really want to make

789
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,760
sure I my comments are received in kind

790
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,119
I think it is a poor show of sound

791
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:45,440
judgment to refuse an individual that is

792
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,720
volunteering to assist in filling a

793
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:50,440
vacancy especially in committees and

794
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,040
Boards throughout our city where we've

795
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,359
highlighted that uh participation is an

796
00:41:54,359 --> 00:41:57,119
ongoing challenge uh to this this point

797
00:41:57,119 --> 00:42:00,040
I have still not heard any uh comments

798
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,599
or feedback with respect to why uh this

799
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:04,920
individual would not be an appropriate

800
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,960
member of this board um but again I feel

801
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,800
as local officials it is our

802
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,359
responsibility to make sure we are not

803
00:42:11,359 --> 00:42:13,240
only advocating to the community and the

804
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:15,560
residents alike but to make sure we also

805
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,040
justify our opinions and decisions when

806
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,760
they in fact uh go against uh something

807
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,160
with respect to to to this so I think

808
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,880
displaying our uh lack of consideration

809
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,720
to why this individual would not be a

810
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:33,599
good fit I think is not the

811
00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:35,640
collaborative government that I seek to

812
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,440
be a part of and I would hope that as a

813
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480
body uh we can understand the

814
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,880
ramifications of sayings the community

815
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,880
no and not offering a resolution forward

816
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,280
or identifying what areas make this

817
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,160
individual not an appropriate candidate

818
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,280
to fulfill that

819
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,079
position is there any further discussion

820
00:42:57,079 --> 00:42:59,359
seeing none I'll ask the clerk to call

821
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:01,030
the role Mr

822
00:43:01,030 --> 00:43:03,760
[Music]

823
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:09,599
Toro Mr muin yes Miss Patrick

824
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:15,520
no Mr Williams yes Miss Porterfield yes

825
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,520
the item fails you need we need four

826

affirmative votes to pass piece of

827
00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:24,870
resolution so the item fails it's

00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,160
3-2 this time we have priv privilege of

829
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,599

roer hello hello my name is uh Fred roer

833
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,400
I'm a nurse at Ellis Hospital I've been

834
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,680
a nurse for GR on 28 years now I worked

835
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,200
at St Claire's first and then came over

836
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,280
at L's Hospital in 2008 so I've been a

837
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,319
nurse in this community for a long time

838
00:43:57,319 --> 00:43:58,839
and what I'm coming up here to talk

839
00:43:58,839 --> 00:44:01,400
about as a member of Ellis Hospital but

840
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:02,880
also as a member of the executive

841
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,119
committee for the nurses Union at Ellis

842
00:44:05,119 --> 00:44:08,160
Hospital I want to make you all here

843
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,000
aware of what's going on with our

844
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,520
negotiations that are currently um going

845
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,119
on over the last year we've been

846
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:17,440
negotiating and we normally negotiate

847
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,119
with Ellis Hospital management and it's

848
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:21,079
just simply Ellis Hospital it is

849
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:23,720
different now they have upper management

850
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:26,520
is Trinity Healthcare a billion dollar

851
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,240
company that's Nationwide um their point

852
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:30,480
person Deb

853
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,720
Solomon comes around she told us at a

854
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,240
meeting that basically Trinity brings

855
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:37,680
her around when they need help with

856
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,640
labor problems so apparently the nurses

857
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,720
now are a labor problem to Trinity um

858
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,319
this we have a lot of great managers at

859
00:44:45,319 --> 00:44:47,440
Ellis but this upper management with

860
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,119
Trinity is very much a problem they're

861
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:51,680
trying to they're very they're cutting

862
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,440
services you can look to rents their

863
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,240
County um with the bdet Women's Center

864
00:44:56,240 --> 00:45:00,119
they've already cut services at Ellis Hospital that you may not even

865
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:02,640
know about we don't you know since the

866
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,800
pandemic they've cut the pediatric

867
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,079
department they've cut Med surge beds

868
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:09,040
there's less beds there than just four

869
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,079
years ago when we had this pandemic

870
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:12,599
there's less beds there there's less

871
00:45:12,599 --> 00:45:14,520
beds in the emergency room there's half

872
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,119
the Adult Psychiatric beds um they have

873
00:45:18,119 --> 00:45:20,440
done this with no remorse or no

874
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,200
conscious of the community that's why

875
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,880
when you know their idea they're not for

876
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,280
profit and they don't act like that

877
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,000
they're acting for profit even though

878
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,599
there's less beds in that hospital right

879
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:33,240
now there's less nurses than there was

880
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:36,440
four years ago too so the nurses now

881
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,839
take care of more patients I work in a

882
00:45:38,839 --> 00:45:41,440
crisis unit the nurses in the ER when I

883
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,040
work through the pandemic in the ER we

884
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,680
had less patients then than we do now um

885
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,359
there's less beds in the ER so there's

886
00:45:48,359 --> 00:45:49,920
more people waiting there's longer wait

887
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,079
times than I've ever over 20 years in

888
00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:53,520
the ER there's longer wait times than

889
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,599
I've ever seen um

890
00:45:56,599 --> 00:45:59,160
they do not listen with negotiations

891
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,200
they're very much trying to um they

892
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,200
aren't offering us anything to be quite

893
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,960
honest they're they're talking about

894
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,160
retaining nurses and they're cutting our

895
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,960
benefits saying that they are they've

896
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,880
looked throughout the community and ours

897
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,680
are above average so they need to cut

898
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,839
them um they've cut them for their other

899
00:46:15,839 --> 00:46:18,559
workers who don't have a voice but we're

900
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:20,559
not going to let that happen to us talk

901
00:46:20,559 --> 00:46:22,200
about I was a former St Claire's person

902
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:23,559
we all know about the St Claire's

903
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:26,280
pension so they are asking us to sign

904
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,040
off on selling out our pensioners that

905
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,240
was frozen in 2006 and they want as part

906
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:33,400
of negotiations us to write that off so

907
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,920
they can sell that up they it's not a

908
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,839
problem to them financially they want to

909
00:46:37,839 --> 00:46:39,920
get rid of it to clear the books for

910
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,119
Trinity to fully take over because they

911
00:46:42,119 --> 00:46:44,040
aren't not for profit they are for

912
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,160
profit and they aren't good for this

913
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,079
community and we are going to need

914
00:46:48,079 --> 00:46:49,839

00:46:49,839 --> 00:46:51,760

00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,880
patients and for my babies that I take

927
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,920
care of in the ncu um I am here because

928
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,240
as we are um embarking upon this merger

929
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:36,839
my real concern is Woman's Health it

930
00:47:36,839 --> 00:47:39,200
seems to be under major attack within

931
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,160
the United States if anybody has been

932
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,960
paying attention to the news across the

933
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,680
country it is very scary and it is now

934
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,319
hitting the capital region um I was

935
00:47:49,319 --> 00:47:52,440
applaud the um stand for women and for

936
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,559
women's rights and for women and what

937
00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:57,079
they've done in um um history well it is

938
00:47:57,079 --> 00:47:58,800
our time to stand as the women at

939
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,880
Belleview woman's Center and as a

940
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,440
hospital that takes care of women and

941
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:04,839
that is something that is really

942
00:48:04,839 --> 00:48:06,760
important one of the things that I want

943
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,760
to bring to the Forefront is that Paul

944
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,480
mlon actually spoke yesterday at a local

945
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,920
church in The Stockade and spoke to the

946
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,440
community there and when he was

947
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,599
addressed and asked about the services

948
00:48:18,599 --> 00:48:21,040
that he was going to be um that have

949
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,960
been taken away and continue to be

950
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,240
discussed and being taken away his

951
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:28,160
phrase on quote was we can't be

952
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,160
everything to everyone the problem is is

953
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,880
we need to be what is important for the

954
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,599
people of this community we cannot

955
00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:39,359
afford to lose any more services we need

956
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:41,359
to watch what they've done with berett

957
00:48:41,359 --> 00:48:43,319
because the Health Care Health the

958
00:48:43,319 --> 00:48:45,800
Catholic Health Care system is literally

959
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,920
dismantling Health Care for Women across

960
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,000
the country and in New York state down

961
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,880
on Long Island they've closed maternity

962
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,799
Wars in New York City they're attempting

963
00:48:54,799 --> 00:48:57,319
to close maternity Wars these are the

964
00:48:57,319 --> 00:49:00,599
Catholic Health Care Systems again we

965
00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:02,920
cannot afford he said that don't worry

966
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,359
women who are in labor don't take the

967
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:07,119
cabs to the

968
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:09,440
hospitals I have to tell you women in

969
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,799
labor take anything that they can I have

970
00:49:12,799 --> 00:49:15,079
actually caught babies in the circle in

971
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:18,799
front of Belleview in a in a taxi cab so

972
00:49:18,799 --> 00:49:21,559
you know what Paul Milton women take

973
00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:24,040
cabs when they're in labor and if we

974
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,280
keep reducing the the things that we

975
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,440
need in our community we are going to be

976
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,839
at a great loss we are putting mothers

977
00:49:30,839 --> 00:49:34,520
and babies at risk by doing this Trinity

978
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,559
is actually sitting at our table looking

979
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:38,880
to take more and more and more away from

980
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,760
us the nurses and for our patients we

981
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,760
have a deficit of approximately 20% on

982
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,640
nursing staffing that means your nurses

983
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,880
are taking on anywhere from six to 10

984
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,640
patients when they should only be taking

985
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,000
four and that is a very scary thing

986
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,839
because it's our family members that are

987
00:49:56,839 --> 00:49:58,520
in the hospital that are being taken

988
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,559
care of and they are being they're not

989
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:01,920
getting the quality care that they

990
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,040
require so I'm begging and I'm coming to

991
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,240
you guys to stand on our behalf and and

992
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:10,240
advocate for the nurses and for the

993
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:12,400
patients and the people of SCCY thank

994
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,990
you thank

995
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,230
you Jennifer

996
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:24,520
Lipman hi my name is Jenny um I'm not

997
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,440
from this a but my family is firmly

998
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,920
planted here my husband works at Union

999
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,079
College I'm a nurse in the same

1000
00:50:30,079 --> 00:50:31,640
Department as Fred the emergency room at

1001
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,480
Ellis Hospital and our kids are in

1002
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,799
school here and we mean to be here um

1003
00:50:35,799 --> 00:50:38,640
I'm just joining this group and wanting

1004
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,839
to talk about Staffing uh you know I'm

1005
00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:43,559
mostly focused just on the day-to-day

1006
00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:45,559
taking care of people as a nurse Fred

1007
00:50:45,559 --> 00:50:47,000
has been actively involved in the

1008
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,200
negotiations but it's gone on for more

1009
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,200
than a year that they're trying to get

1010
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,480
our contract negotiated and for me I I

1011
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,520
started like when the pandemic was just

1012
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,200
beginning to unfold in 2020 and

1013
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,839
um about a year into my job we lost a

1014
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:06,280
tremendous percentage of our nurses it

1015
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:07,880
was like the travel boom when nurses

1016
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,359
could make three to four times as much

1017
00:51:09,359 --> 00:51:13,240
as a staff nurse and I was so upset to

1018
00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:17,000
see the the just this beautiful teamwork

1019
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,359
when in the emergency room people come

1020
00:51:18,359 --> 00:51:20,599
in with heart attacks and people run

1021
00:51:20,599 --> 00:51:22,040
together and and they know each other's

1022
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,559
strengths and they're you know literally

1023
00:51:23,559 --> 00:51:25,119
saving people's lives working together

1024
00:51:25,119 --> 00:51:26,000
and

1025
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,480
when I saw my staff the the staff people

1026
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:29,640
that I really looked up to that I need

1027
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,319
to learn from disappearing I wrote to

1028
00:51:32,319 --> 00:51:33,880
like all the top leadership but the

1029
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,559
hospital and our board and everything

1030
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:37,359
and I heard back from one person which

1031
00:51:37,359 --> 00:51:39,160
was the department um the head of our

1032
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,520
department the emergency department he

1033
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:41,799
said well these things kind of come and

1034
00:51:41,799 --> 00:51:44,440
go it'll it'll iron itself out this High

1035
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,960
money it's going to P pedal out and

1036
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,680
we'll kind of get a stable staff again

1037
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,040
but you know two two and a half years

1038
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,480
later we are heavily dependent on travel

1039
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,400
nurses and they're bringing in some

1040
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,160
lovely nurses they're really experienced

1041
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,960
great nurses but they have no connection

1042
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,760
to skincity they don't know our people

1043
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,000
they'll be here for a short time then

1044
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,240
they move oh I'm going to go do skiing

1045
00:52:03,240 --> 00:52:05,480
and Colorado next and that's really not

1046
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,680
what we need we need a stable body of

1047
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,000
nurses to take care of our community I I

1048
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,160
see my neighbors all the time in the Ed

1049
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,440
and what we lost just during my short

1050
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,640
time here at Ellis with so much staff

1051
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,319
synchronicity that got broken up and the

1052
00:52:21,319 --> 00:52:23,839
hospital has not managed to put it back

1053
00:52:23,839 --> 00:52:25,799
together we're just heavily dependent on

1054
00:52:25,799 --> 00:52:27,599
nurses that have no connection to this

1055
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:30,119
place and if it takes us more than a

1056
00:52:30,119 --> 00:52:33,200
year and the nurses that are negotiating

1057
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,319
this contract say they are insulting us

1058
00:52:35,319 --> 00:52:37,160
when we're asking about our they're

1059
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,040
taking benefits away they're they're

1060
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,920
trying to talk their way out of these

1061
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,559
Staffing ratio things I mean I've barely

1062
00:52:43,559 --> 00:52:46,240
known anything but you run for 12 hours

1063
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:48,440
you don't pee you don't eat you you feel

1064
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,000
so guilty because you can't take good

1065
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,040
care of people because you're so

1066
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,799
overloaded it's dangerous you know and I

1067
00:52:54,799 --> 00:52:56,160
mean that's kind of basic if we don't

1068
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,960
have enough nurses like you'd think we'd

1069
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,000
want to try to make it decent that

1070
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,480
nurses could take good care of people

1071
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,359
and and having a contract where there's

1072
00:53:04,359 --> 00:53:07,400
decent Staffing and and and wages that

1073
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,280
people agree are reasonable seems like a

1074
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,559
great place to start so that's what I

1075
00:53:11,559 --> 00:53:14,160
wanted to speak in support of thank you

1076
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,670

00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,000

appreciate everyone coming out tonight

1137
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:53,160
in the uh consensus seems to be for

1138
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,000
Central Parkway to leave it basic

1139
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,720
basically the way it is the discussion

1140
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:00,760
has been to narrow the travel Lane by

1141
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,760
approximately 2 feet that has not been

1142
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,880
cast in stone and part of this process

1143
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,440
is to have your input tonight and uh

1144
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,839
just ongoing discussions for that final

1145
00:56:12,839 --> 00:56:15,280
design that'll service the needs of the

1146
