00:08:15,640 First, I'd like to say that- 80 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,400 I'd give you a name in the address. 81 00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:20,040 Yabra Simanata, 612 west of Stannock Street. 82 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:26,880 First, I'd like to say that Mayor Marbcetti and his ship of foolish councillors should 83 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,280 forfeit their 30 pieces of silver as an act of contrition for stabbing the taxpayers in 84 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:32,640 the bank. 85 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:40,000 I'm demanding that you cease and assist with any more of your wasteful folly, including, but not limited to. 86 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,340 The ripping up of Nord Street again, which is just a waste of money. 87 00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:52,300 Unless, of course, it will cut down on the stavings and shootings and bar top dancing and 88 00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,620 over serving at the meth bar, then maybe it's worth it, but I doubt it. 89 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:04,000 I've compiled a list of the city of pit, where the city of Pitfield can save the taxpayer some money. 90 00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:15,140 They include, but are not limited to, a clawback of the $200,000 that you've, the handout of $200,000 to root streams and 91 00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:22,730 the master's seeds and the elimination of the DIE office. 92 00:09:23,410 --> 00:09:28,690 Pitthill seemed to have existed without such a ridiculous office. 93 00:09:29,790 --> 00:09:36,630 The elimination of emotional, emotionally emotional support coaches. 94 00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:41,150 The elimination of cultural deficiency coaches. 95 00:09:44,290 --> 00:09:48,070 $390,000 for the restoration of a bell tower at the Dream Center. 96 00:09:48,290 --> 00:09:52,330 Really, that's what our tax money goes to, because I don't think I like that at all. 97 00:09:52,670 --> 00:09:53,910 Actually, I don't like it. 98 00:09:56,170 --> 00:10:02,350 And again, I'm going to revisit the $650,000 plus for a sewer system for Arrowhead. 99 00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:07,750 As I said, they should just raise the money and put in their own septic field. 100 00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:13,570 They seem to have existed for decades with a septic field. 101 00:10:14,890 --> 00:10:21,390 I'd also like the roads that are in really bad shape that they be concentrated on, 102 00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:24,390 because they're all over the city of Pitfield and they're terrible. 103 00:10:25,230 --> 00:10:28,710 I mean, you want to reconfigure Nord Street for bicycleist, but 104 00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:41,570 The motorists have to dodge potholes, raise sewer lids, all kinds of just a mess everywhere in the city. 105 00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:46,890 Thank you. 106 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:51,540 Paul Gregory, 107 00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:09,940 first of all, I think it was wonderful the awards and doing it here in the City Council. 108 00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:15,340 That is something that's very special about this community and I want to thank you 109 00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:19,860 who in the mayor and making yourselves available, that was just fantastic. 110 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,100 I'm here to speak, I'd like to give you a name and address. 111 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,560 All right, thank you, Paul Gregory, 25, Roswell and Drive. 112 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,080 While the budget talks have come and gone, the request for a level funded budget was made in January. 113 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,980 It was met with skepticism and a threat to cut services to the people of Pittsfield. 114 00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:45,860 And now is the time to increase water bill rates that will be tied into inflation rates, 115 00:11:46,180 --> 00:11:51,840 increase property taxes, city departments remaining fully staffed with more accountability. 116 00:11:52,380 --> 00:12:00,160 All funded, we have 48 gallon tops that were just passed, a contract awarded to Kaselec waste management. 117 00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:05,080 And I don't always believe what I read in the eagle, but 118 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,520 But something about the language on the contract still needing to be worked out, 119 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,540 but there seems to have been a rush to award the contract. 120 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,060 I'm confused by this. 121 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,960 I have to ask, what are my taxes paying for? 122 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,260 We need more teachers in the classroom, not more administrators and offices. 123 00:12:23,980 --> 00:12:29,980 Remember, the question to ask, not how many positions have been laid off when the school year ends. 124 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,000 The question to ask, as an educator, worked in the Pitzfield schools for 15 years. 125 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,480 How many positions are recalled in July and to August? 126 00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:44,360 Then you truly know the cuts that the school department identified for you all. 127 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:49,980 The budget talks have quieted down with the city budget at 215 million. 128 00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:57,820 In the school budget at 83 million, there were two proposals made actually three during the budget talks for the school. 129 00:12:57,820 --> 00:13:07,240 $750,000, which was not approved by this Council, $250,000, which was not approved by this 130 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:14,060 Council, and then a token cut made by Council Vice President Percept in the amount 131 00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:20,280 of $200,000, and I want to personally thank him for at least doing something, whether 132 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,900 with symbolic or not it doesn't matter, $82.7 million to the School Department. 133 00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:37,720 But the last point I want to make is when you break down the city school department, each one of these pennies represents $200,000. 134 00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:48,510 Each one of those pennies represents 200 grand, and this is what you cut from the school budget. 135 00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:59,870 I'm telling you, I watch you from home, the votes you take now, you're going to be reminded of later when you want to occupy those same seats. 136 00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:08,710 Using academic language, the label is token effort of a proposed school budget request. 137 00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:10,250 15 seconds failed. 138 00:14:10,770 --> 00:14:11,870 You failed miserably. 139 00:14:12,610 --> 00:14:17,270 The reality of your inaction will be realized by some citizens of the city of Pitzfield, 140 00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:20,030 who no longer can afford to live in Pitzfield. 141 00:14:20,630 --> 00:14:21,430 And I'll end. 142 00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:26,550 Which right isn't always popular, which you're at three minutes always right. 143 00:14:27,270 --> 00:14:28,710 Are you ready to do the right thing? 144 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:28,890 Thank 145 00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:35,650 you, the last name on the list is Kevin Sherman. 146 00:14:43,380 --> 00:14:45,740 Kevin Sherman, 43, Cromwell Avenue. 147 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,980 Good evening, Mr. President, Councilmembers, Mayor Marquetti. 148 00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:56,100 Thank you, as Paul said, I want to thank you all for the time that you took to honor and celebrate the Student Athletes and Petsville High School this evening. 149 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,780 I had the opportunity to attend several baseball and softball games. 150 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:29,980 And I also had a good fortune to coach a lot of the softball girls in their younger years. And I can say with full confidence that as great as they are as athletes, they're better human beings.
