00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,200 them from globe in the last 20 to 30 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,680 years that we've purchased this gear and 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,479 over that time we've made adjustments 22 00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:24,159 depending on you know where we are in in 23 00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:27,159 our fire department our pockets are 24 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:29,560 designed a certain way for tools for 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520 community ation uh and it becomes very 26 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,759 important that everybody has that same 27 00:01:34,759 --> 00:01:37,880 gear everybody has the same layer of 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,960 protection and we've had very good 29 00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,680 dealings with globe the issue has come 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,240 up when Globe has removed themselves 31 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600 from the state contract list they no 32 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,360 longer participate in state contracts 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,960 and that's their decision it wasn't 34 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,560 anything that they did and they were 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,240 removed so we've been discussing it with 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,600 purchasing 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,039 and purchasing suggested that the best 38 00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,719 route that we could go is to standardize 39 00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:09,679 the gear and then you put it up the bit 40 00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:10,680 chances 41 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,400 are um there there may be certain things 42 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,040 that only Globe does and that would kind 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,800 of preclude them 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,959 into you know into fulfill we're 45 00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:26,959 more concerned with maintaining the STS 46 00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:28,640 doesn't have to be from GL can be from 47 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,599 whoever but we don't want the specs to 48 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:31,680 be 49 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,760 deviated so I've submitted the specs to 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,840 22 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Pages um for you to review and as an 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,239 aside Globe is always very competitive 53 00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:48,599 most times being the uh cheapest bid or 54 00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,440 the lowest bid I should 55 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,120 say thank you uh questions or 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,000 comments at this point in time we 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,519 haven't you said to sent that the 22 58 00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:03,280 guide recently this afternoon yes so we um Council doesn't have have that 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,360 opportunity to look at that yet right so 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,599 your request of us is to review that and 61 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,760 then U make a decision sure all right so 62 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,879 and so they're not on the state list are 63 00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:17,159 you trying are they um the only ones 64 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:19,920 that provide what you're asked looking 65 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:23,200 for well some of the things they do are 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,319 privary so they would be the only ones 67 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:28,319 to provide those aspects okay be it a 68 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,439 technique be it a certain material 69 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:32,280 there's not a lot of that but there are 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,040 some of that sprinkled within the U the 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,680 specs any other questions or 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,760 comments refer to the member of the c um 73 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,159 so just to clarify further so if 74 00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:51,080 we agree to these being the specs which 75 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,959 I would support obviously taking your 76 00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:55,400 recommendation so if 77 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,159 glow changes what they want to in other 78 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:01,000 words it's not that we're agreeing to 79 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,599 for the future we're just we're agreeing 80 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:05,760 to these specifications yes okay not 81 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200 asking for them to be a sole source if 82 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,120 that's the way that I'm being advised by 83 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,000 Council then I'm good with that my end 84 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,519 goal is that these turnouts be the ones 85 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,720 that we've been purchasing gotcha thank 86 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,000 you just wanted to clarify Mr thing is 87 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,160 we can't go perspects that are solely 88 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,880 written around one vendor you 89 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,680 can't put out criteria IA for a Chevy 90 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,039 engine where you need something that's 91 00:04:34,039 --> 00:04:37,840 in a certain horsepower range Ford may 92 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,880 have it somebody else may have it so 93 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,600 that as long as anything is you're 94 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,400 saying some this is proprietary but 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,880 there has to be an ability 96 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,600 for other vendors to bid on this absent 97 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080 going out for a so Source where they 98 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,080 have some unique product or feature that 99 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,199 makes them 100 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,960 stand out and be more advantageous for 101 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,600 what we 102 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080 want I understand that our dealings 103 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,120 maybe not so much with turnouts when we 104 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,080 talk about bigger items like 105 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,600 apparatus um and those specs are you 106 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,840 know multiple Pages if not hundreds and 107 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,759 so a lot of times or sometimes it's been 108 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,039 our experience someone would bid it 109 00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:26,120 saying oh yeah we'll follow those specs 110 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,639 and then when they start building it 111 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:30,319 they don't and they can't 112 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,440 and then we end up with a a product that 113 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,440 would not really couldn't be pleased 114 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,160 with so that's why we're asking that 115 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,160 these specs be accepted and I understand 116 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,680 your point Mr Mayor about proprietary 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,800 items Mr so if I'm understanding 118 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,199 correctly um the request is is based on 119 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,479 obviously uh your experience and and 120 00:05:53,479 --> 00:05:57,120 that of of p is that we want to have a 121 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,639 certain standard of suit we're not 122 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:01,080 talking about necessary necessarily a 123 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,639 particular vendor but this particular 124 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:04,560 vendor hasn't been to meet the needs 125 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,080 historically so what we're saying now is 126 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,160 that we're going to standardize this 127 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,319 give other vendors an opportunity to 128 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:12,319 meet this standard but really the 129 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:13,479 standard of the suit is what we're 130 00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:15,840 talking about um and it's necessary you 131 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,160 know for the things that we only be able 132 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,720 to consider that you guys understand 133 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,199 about being out in the field right 134 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:24,520 correct okay yeah definely support that 135 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,599 any other questions or comments Mr sure 136 00:06:27,599 --> 00:06:32,000 is this spec coming directly from your department within your department 137 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,599 say then I'm sorry this the 138 00:06:33,599 --> 00:06:36,680 specification is it coming directly from 139 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,759 your department that's what we've 140 00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:39,479 developed over the years working with 141 00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:43,270 globe 142 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:47,639 yes so Globe have develop St we've been 143 00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,680 working with them over the last 20 30 144 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,880 years so for me this is all about safety 145 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,319 of course we're in environments that are 146 00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,479 not attainable correct you're in 147 00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:00,440 environments that could be ° on the 148 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,000 floor and I'm not being dramatic they be 149 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,520 1500° that's the ceiling though there's 150 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,319 no room for you know I don't want to 151 00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:10,280 someone to come in and go yeah we follow 152 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,919 that and it you know that's proprietary 153 00:07:12,919 --> 00:07:15,479 but our things is just as good and that 154 00:07:15,479 --> 00:07:18,360 we find out maybe it's not just good it 155 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,800 safety for me and you guys know me well 156 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,840 enough it is number one priority it's 157 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,879 just that's my number one goal is to get 158 00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:28,560 everybody home just the way they can is 159 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,560 no different and I'm a strong believer 160 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,879 that these turnout gear that we have is 161 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:38,280 what works for us and I want to maintain 162 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,199 that and it and it goes to you know we 163 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,800 have our radios in this pocket and we 164 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,599 have our descending devices in this 165 00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:48,319 pocket and cudes in this pocket and you 166 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:50,159 say well is that really a big deal maybe 167 00:07:50,159 --> 00:07:52,080 the manufacturer says can't do it here 168 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,479 for whatever reason and some of the 169 00:07:53,479 --> 00:07:57,199 reasons are like really okay no we can't 170 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,199 that's fine but now if you have a fire C 171 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:02,720 down and I know that my descending 172 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400 device is in my right pocket and my 173 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,400 pants and his is on the other side that 174 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,919 could cause some issues cause some 175 00:08:10,919 --> 00:08:13,759 uncertainty delay the operations of 176 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,240 getting the person out does that happen 177 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,319 all the time it doesn't but we have to 178 00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,270 plan for 179 00:08:21,280 -->

be 209 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,959 met I assumption would be we would just 210 00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:56,200 put that out to bid with those 211 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,279 effects then it comes back to the 212 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:00,279 council for approv 213 00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:02,519 of the award of the bid because it's no 214 00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,750 longer on state 215 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,720 contract my concern right and we could 216 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,959 have further discussion obviously my 217 00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:12,760 concern is right now we're paying 218 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,399 approximately $4,000 for the set and 219 00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:17,160 someone comes in 220 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,959 3500 and as we look at that we're going 221 00:10:19,959 --> 00:10:22,000 no you're missing a couple of things 222 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,959 that's going to be when I we just put 223 00:10:23,959 --> 00:10:26,240 the specs out in the viid going out it 224 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,480 doesn't then go to the council before it 225 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,509 goes out to bid 226 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:34,120 right 227 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,800 okay so Maring correctly Mr May you're 228 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,680 saying you don't need to adopt a policy 229 00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:40,480 as long as you bid with those the 230 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,279 council wants to say these are 231 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:45,880 the specs but 232 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,120 it's we going go down a path then be 233 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,079 doing stuff 234 00:10:51,079 --> 00:10:55,480 forment two two steps as opposed to you 235 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,880 know if it's on state contract we just 236 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,760 pick the vendor out award the 237 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,920 contract this prior of the department to 238 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,959 put the specs together throughout to bid 239 00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:10,279 and then it comes back to the council 240 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:14,120 for approval when they award the bit it 241 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,920 has to be within budget and hence to 242 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,279 meet those terms and 243 00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:21,920 conditions yeah if I'm interpreting it 244 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,639 right then you proceed with the 245 00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:25,680 specifications as you identified within 246 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:27,959 your department so it kind of absolves 247 00:11:27,959 --> 00:11:30,720 us absolves us us of having to wait on 248 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,839 it anyway so so what happens if someone 249 00:11:32,839 --> 00:11:35,200 comes in with a lower bid and Council 250 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760 says why are you about purchasing these 251 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,600 why aren't you purchasing the lower bid 252 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,240 one well the council can do that they 253 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,920 can ask the questions when it comes back 254 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,560 but if it doesn't meet the specs it's 255 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,680 not going to go to the council for 256 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:54,040 approval okay Mr car I just want to say 257 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,440 um regardless of how this you know we 258 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,440 move forward I just want to say that um 259 00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,720 I think that's other members of the 260 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,000 council I'll certainly speak for myself 261 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,800 and saying that you know we trust um 262 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,360 your judgment and understand why you 263 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,120 know the very different calculations 264 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,760 that have to be made to do something 265 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,760 like this and to your point that 266 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,920 scenario might not happen all the time 267 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,320 but if it does happen one time it can 268 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,839 cost somebody's life so I'm going to 269 00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:20,519 definitely defer to you and your 270 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:22,000 expertise when it comes to that so you 271 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,839 just have my full support and and 272 00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:25,199 putting specs out the way that you see 273 00:12:25,199 --> 00:12:28,440 for thank you Mr Mayor you feel that 274 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,120 maybe it's not a need to to adopt it as 275 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,440 a standard and we could have the same 276 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,120 outcome the by awarding the bid the 277 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,959 council will be adopting 278 00:12:39,959 --> 00:12:45,949 those 279 00:12:45,959 --> 00:12:48,920 standards okay once you go out to 280 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,519 bid and so I understand your concerns 281 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:54,360 but however if you put the specs out and 282 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760 someone doesn't meet the specs if even 283 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,040 if they're a lower bid but they haven't 284 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,959 met all the specifications it would not 285 00:12:59,959 --> 00:13:02,320 move forward to us anyway they would 286 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,600 have to meet all of the specifications 287 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,000 not just because they came in a little 288 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,120 bit that be my hope I've seen it 289 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360 differently on at least one other 290 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,560 occasion on an 291 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:19,150 apparatus and that's a far bigger 292 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,160 discussion so something came back to us 293 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,959 and we it came to us to take a look at 294 00:13:23,959 --> 00:13:24,959 even though it didn't need the 295 00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:26,800 specification is what you're saying I'm 296 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,240 I don't know if it was this us or 297 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,320 another us 298 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,110 whatever else it was at the 299 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,959 time hope 300 00:13:35,959 --> 00:13:38,440 it yes that that did 301 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,880 occur the apparatus is entirely 302 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,920 different ball game in half million 3/4 303 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,160 over a million dollar and there is 304 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,120 advantages in terms of 305 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,639 standardizing the apparatus the fact to 306 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,279 say we'd like everything to be a 307 00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,639 Chevy Chevy doesn't make a lot of fire 308 00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:03,590 trucks but 309 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,680 uh you get somebody who comes in with a 310 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:09,199 bed says that 311 00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:13,199 they've got pumping capacity the aerial 312 00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:16,120 capacity horsepower whatever looking for 313 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,040 but they're A4 million dollar less than 314 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,639 what the mayor and the chief has 315 00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:25,759 recommended the council might approach 316 00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:29,680 it differently and go from 317 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,160 American the France the Rosen B another 318 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,120 vendor 319 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,120 which then creates some issues with 320 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,959 training and equipment or the chief talk 321 00:14:41,959 --> 00:14:43,560 about you want the 322 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,920 standardization where it just allows 323 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,360 operational efficiency in the 324 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,680 field it's we we've been on uh our 325 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,839 mission to have as many things standard 326 00:14:54,839 --> 00:14:57,240 in the fire service as possible it's 327 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,199 taken us probably 10 maybe maybe 15 328 00:15:00,199 --> 00:15:04,040 years to standardize our apparatus so 329 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,639 you can go to engine one you can go to 330 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:08,040 engine four I can send any firefighter 331 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,320 with either one of those blindfold them 332 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,040 tell them to give me the whatever and 333 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,160 they can go to that area and get me 334 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,079 whatever because they're standard that 335 00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:21,160 is extremely important and so it's the 336 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,399 same philosophy with the with the gear 337 00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:26,199 now if we can accomplish that with just 338 00:15:26,199 --> 00:15:28,480 having put it out the bed and not 339 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,480 accepting anything that doesn't meet 340 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,480 exactly even though it's lower I'm good 341 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,959 with that so if you choose not to 342 00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:38,079 standardize 343 00:15:38,079 --> 00:15:40,319 it knowing that that's going to be our 344 00:15:40,319 --> 00:15:43,079 goal I'm good either 345 00:15:43,079 --> 00:15:47,319 way currently is uh the your the 346 00:15:47,319 --> 00:15:51,319 firefighters are using the mob for GL 347 00:15:51,319 --> 00:15:53,880 manufacturing are they tail individual 348 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,000 to the firefighter or are they come in 349 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,680 various sizes say again I'm sorry like 350 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,279 are they measured by like firefighters 351 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,199 measured and given the Year everybody SP 352 00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:05,519 so okay so it's very specific can it be 353 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:09,120 used by someone else or that's their no 354 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,480 it's it's assed to the yeah 355 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880 name what happen to that they turn it 356 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,240 back in back and then then we'll use it 357 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,880 for training new people so they're not 358 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,279 um you know on the front line but they 359 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,480 go to the academy and they beat it up 360 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,079 they're you know they're crawling and 361 00:16:29,079 --> 00:16:30,880 they're climbing and they're falling and 362 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,759 they're doing all that stuff but they're 363 00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:34,600 not subjected to that 364 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,639 thermal um isue are there like what come 365 00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:39,800 with those like guarantees that you have 366 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,800 with global manufacturing so you would 367 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,160 want to maintain a relationship if if a 368 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,240 suit is found defective or there's an 369 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,360 issue with it that you would go back to 370 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,480 them where if you have another vend that 371 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,440 may be 372 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,880 pratic well I I wouldn't think that'd be 373 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,360 problematic if there was an issue I 374 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,399 would think a reputable manufacturer is 375 00:16:57,399 --> 00:16:59,759 going to stand up for that but our 376 00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,519 relationship with globe has been 377 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:03,360 longstanding we have a very good 378 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520 relationship and I think that plays into 379 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,350 the price we get 380 00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:11,600 too but I think what what the mayor 381 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,199 saying is correct is that if if you have 382 00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:17,520 the specific the specifications you want 383 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,360 this and this only you know not um 384 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:23,360 anything different than that then um 385 00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:25,319 putting it out to bid only accepting 386 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,600 those bids that would um give those 387 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,480 specifications as as long as we're not 388 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,320 gearing those specifications only to one 389 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,400 company and we're gearing specifications 390 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,039 to the needs of the fire department 391 00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:40,160 correct so again we're following the um 392 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,160 suggestion from Finance to do with this 393 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,400 one Mr I just want to reer this is not a 394 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,480 decision that we would be making or I 395 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,559 think we should be making without you so 396 00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,400 I just want to kind of I mean I 397 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,840 definitely you know want to make sure 398 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320 that you know you be reassured that any 399 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,000 decision that we make would be obviously 400 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,440 I appreciate your 401 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,080 input not to throw anybody onto the bus 402 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:11,630 but finances here have 403 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,880 anything is there anything that I don't 404 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,080 want to step out of procedures um would 405 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,990 you like to come forward and 406 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,310 explain did I explain it 407 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,919 properly a little nervous 408 00:18:28,919 --> 00:18:31,720 so s in every yeah my name is Sarah I'm 409 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,360 the purchasing supervisor and in every 410 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:36,760 bid you have to have an equivalency 411 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,240 Clause it has to be there it's mandatory 412 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,000 so if another company puts in a bid and 413 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,240 they say hey it's a great product but 414 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,240 it's not Globe which they've been 415 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,120 accustomed to and you know they've 416 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,240 experienced with for years and years and 417 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,080 uh but another company comes in he says 418 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,240 it's great it's wonderful and it's 419 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,360 $5,000 cheaper you're not going to it's 420 00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:05,600 not going to work because we have we 421 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,600 can't be that detailed in our 422 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,440 specifications you have to have that 423 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,149 equivalency clause in 424 00:19:14,159 --> 00:19:17,799 there um so in order when we have that 425 00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,200 Clause you have to be able to accept 426 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,000 other bits and you can't just put those 427 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,559 specific specifications you can't 428 00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:30,200 exclude people if they meet the 429 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,559 specifications at a lower 430 00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:35,000 cost it's just the 431 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,120 law so that's why you bring it to 432 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,039 council you have them standardize it we 433 00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,240 still put it out to bid but now the 434 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,320 vendors that you choose from they have 435 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,919 to be able to offer what you're 436 00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:47,600 requesting because we brought it to 437 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,320 council and Council approved it and it 438 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,039 was resolved and that's what we decided 439 00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,960 that was best for the fire department so 440 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,600 if I'm hearing correctly you're saying 441 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,240 that the fire department having 442 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,840 standardize these specifications is it 443 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,600 sufficient enough we have to validate at 444 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,000 the council level correct okay so I'd 445 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,360 say with hearing that new piece of 446 00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:09,039 information thank you

question about 519 00:23:57,679 --> 00:24:02,350 something with in within the 520 00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:06,720 RFP it says I saw here somewhere I 521 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,640 highlighted it all right um so under 522 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,840 Section 8 submission requirements items 523 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,559 number 34 and 10 refer to the fact that 524 00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:19,760 uh any Towing of city-owned 525 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,840 vehicles uh they will not whoever bids 526 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,360 on this will not be reimbursed for that 527 00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,039 so I wasn't clear on 528 00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:31,039 how that calculation came about and what 529 00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:35,960 the impact has on any businesses that actually do 530 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,080 that Sean I I want to bank on somebody I 531 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,720 mean I could speak sort of anecdotally 532 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,840 but I um if we you 533 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080 know the history 534 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,240 Lieutenant so the way it's been I do 535 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,440 have an inter understanding of the 536 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600 contract L of the request for proposal 537 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,600 but uh we've been operating under a 538 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,640 contract for the last three or four 4 539 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,840 years uh and we've been operating off of 540 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,480 that contract now granted it's been 541 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,039 expired uh or I should say we've been 542 00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:07,399 out of contract for probably the last 543 00:25:07,399 --> 00:25:13,080 two or maybe 3 years um as it stands now 544 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,760 depending I'm 545 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,440 sorry are you speaking strictly of uh 546 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,440 City Vehicles I'm speaking strictly of 547 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,720 that City Vehicles not other vehicles 548 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,679 obviously they charge for that but it 549 00:25:24,679 --> 00:25:27,720 says here that if they charge if they um 550 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,080 so I was saying own vehicle then they 551 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,039 cannot ask the city for reimbursement 552 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,640 for their work right so that that's my 553 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,640 question 554 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,480 cuz uh that's just part of the agreement 555 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,760 that we've been operating under for at 556 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,919 least since 2018 I suspect probably uh 557 00:25:44,919 --> 00:25:50,590 much earlier than that as 558 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,159 well well my concern with that is that 559 00:25:53,159 --> 00:25:56,039 it's a this is these are best basically 560 00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:58,039 small businesses and I'm not sure I mean 561 00:25:58,039 --> 00:26:00,399 I I need know the rationale behind that 562 00:26:00,399 --> 00:26:02,960 because and me looking at this it seems 563 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,480 like then this is basically cutting into 564 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200 their profit and is there some way that 565 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,960 they're 566 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,440 being compensated some of on some other 567 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,080 the level through this well I suspect 568 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,919 again I this is my own suspicion is that 569 00:26:16,919 --> 00:26:18,720 we tell a fair amount of vehicles in the 570 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,039 city so if you are one of two vendors 571 00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:24,240 really in the city you're probably going 572 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,240 to get some some revenue generated that 573 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,000 way probably much more so than if you 574 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000 hadn't been our 575 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,520 contractor so I I think that's maybe 576 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,320 just a 577 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,799 small I want to say price to pay but it 578 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:40,840 works in the city's favor um to do that 579 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,200 now I I don't know how many times a year 580 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,880 that happens um but again we're talking 581 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,600 essentially police cars and small um 582 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,870 small vehicles under 10,000 583 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,960 lounds go ahead please but it sounds 584 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,240 like that was just part of the 585 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:06,000 negotiating of this um contract that they it sounds like the the the the 586 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,720 bidder wanted to get the contract so 587 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,600 they you know it's just a something that 588 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,679 they agreed to 589 00:27:13,679 --> 00:27:17,320 no I'm I see in the RFP that means that 590 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,080 we ask that that's what we have before I 591 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,279 mean but somebody have a choice somebody 592 00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:25,600 a bidder would have the choice 593 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,760 of so so I hear what what president P 594 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,440 was saying so so because if this if I am 595 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,720 a small business and obviously this 596 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,399 contract is going to be important to me 597 00:27:38,399 --> 00:27:41,640 in order to operate my business 598 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,640 then I might go and you know enter in 599 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,559 but I think that so your point if I'm an 600 00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:50,159 owner and I got to send somebody out 601 00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:52,200 then I still have to pay that per 602 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,200 there's still Co cost associated with 603 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,399 that so as I'm kind of putting that 604 00:27:56,399 --> 00:27:57,440 together in my head I'm just thinking 605 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,120 like okay what does that look like uh 606 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,279 you know is that a cost of doing 607 00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:04,080 business with the city is that how 608 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,360 that's considered a cost of doing 609 00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:09,919 business with the city that you have to City vehicles for free cuz I don't 610 00:28:09,919 --> 00:28:11,240 want 611 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,399 H historically TOS have this contract 612 00:28:14,399 --> 00:28:18,480 his tow City vehicles at no charge and 613 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,000 we hope that that is a very 614 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,279 infrequent scenario but it does happen 615 00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,320 where a police car will break down or a 616 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,990 vehicle's in an accident and to be 617 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,679 tow Lieutenant did any of the biders 618 00:28:34,679 --> 00:28:37,720 made um reference to this uh this item 619 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,600 or made objection to it no not for 620 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,760 anything under 10,000 so again they've 621 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,600 been operating this way since at least 622 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,880 2018 so really been kind of a standard 623 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,360 um standard procedure at this 624 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,919 point I'd say wanting to be responsive 625 00:28:55,919 --> 00:28:57,760 to the comments around the table is it 626 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,159 EAS quantifiable just how many times 627 00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:01,880 we've used this the mayor's Point like 628 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,960 if it's something that has been rely 629 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,840 enforced I think it's kind of a new 630 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,200 point but if it's something that's been 631 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,159 trending upwards I think it is important 632 00:29:09,159 --> 00:29:12,200 for us to be considered of our small 633 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,240 businesses again I can just speak sort 634 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,679 of anecdotally i i i as sort of 635 00:29:17,679 --> 00:29:19,320 Technology gets better and you hope they 636 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,960 break down less and drive your safer so if there is a trend I suspect 637 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:29,600 we would be on a lower Trend uh though I couldn't say that right here now I you 638 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,950 know just going off of what I'm 639 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,389 thinking one two a 640 00:29:37,399 --> 00:29:39,519 month I just you know just keeping in 641 00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:42,240 mind the the current uh resolutions 642 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,000 regarding tow is the contractor May 643 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,799 charge a rate up to 644 00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:50,000 $160 with an additional $35 fee paid to 645 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,919 the city of SKC so they can charge up to 646 00:29:53,919 --> 00:29:57,720 $160 for current resolution on this for 647 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,120 this type of operation so um 648 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,120 that's a private tow if we asked them to 649 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,880 tow it's 650 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,240 $260 so you know without getting into 651 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000 the minds of those who put in 652 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,919 proposals they're looking you know 653 00:30:14,919 --> 00:30:16,559 that's something they keep in mind they 654 00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:20,080 say okay right how many toes does the 655 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,000 city have versus how many toes does the 656 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,440 city ordered to have on on other types 657 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,320 of vehicles so gu just go ahead I'd like 658 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,799 to speak from experience my previous 659 00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:31,279 role was in the Traffic Division we had 660 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:34,480 a longstanding relationship with the two 661 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,200 cont a toe companies that were entering 662 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,320 or would like to enter in agreement with 663 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,159 um that's never been brought up as a 664 00:30:41,159 --> 00:30:43,840 source of contention I would say that if 665 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,200 we were to potentially lower those 666 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,880 standards would we attract other biders 667 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,760 that may not be as qualified uh and 668 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,480 maybe would be this would open up 669 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,279 perhaps a whole can of worms I can say 670 00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:58,039 with certainty now that the two uh bids 671 00:30:58,039 --> 00:31:00,480 that we have are excellent agencies 672 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,679 they're responsive uh they come 673 00:31:02,679 --> 00:31:05,080 essentially in all all weather uh I 674 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,880 would hate to compromise anything that 675 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,360 we have with those two um and that's 676 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,310 just again just from my own 677 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,799 experience so if uh if one of the 678 00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:18,600 potential contractors because I know so 679 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,720 we've been dealing with the same 680 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,399 contractors for a number of years so if 681 00:31:23,399 --> 00:31:25,279 one of the potential contractors or both 682 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:28,240 of them said hey um I feel like for 683 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,880 whatever reason maybe because it's 684 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,200 starting to eat more and more to the 685 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,320 bottom line to say when this RP pain 686 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,080 comes out says or came out says you know 687 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,799 this is this has become a hardship for 688 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,279 me how how was that hand would that be 689 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:43,760 handled and then we can I would have to 690 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,200 defer to Sean would that be a 691 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,919 contractual change or would that be a 692 00:31:46,919 --> 00:31:50,509 change in the 693 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,399 RF hey Sean 694 00:31:53,399 --> 00:31:57,960 if the question was if down the road or 695 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,880 even now when the contractor was 696 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,480 uncomfortable with towing a city vehicle 697 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,639 for free how could they change that down 698 00:32:04,639 --> 00:32:06,200 the road that that is that separate from 699 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,080 the RP would that be more contractual 700 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,760 you know the council we can do here 701 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,360 tonight just to you know help move 702 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,519 things along is then accept the two 703 00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:17,000 recommended proposals and the uh RFP 704 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,360 does allow us into contract negotiations 705 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,000 with those twoo so if there those issues 706 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,760 then we can come back with the final 707 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,039 contract draft for your review we can 708 00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:29,519 just move the for then we can have 709

already 712 00:32:36,639 --> 00:32:38,240 allows for that and maybe that's the 713 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,200 best way to 714 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,159 go so RFP go out as is right and then 715

RFP is 790 00:36:04,839 --> 00:36:08,920 out so there's still contracts we can 791 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,880 discussions and then all we're asking is 792 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,280 to go 793 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,119 forward interesting I'm move to go 794 00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:19,240 forward have we done this in the past 795 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,599 where we adopted RFP or we

00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:06,040 selected there's a contract on meeting 814 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,800 of the mins in two weeks we'll have the 815 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,079 draft contract for you

these are the vendors that we're going 819 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,000 to be that's this the resolution is to 820 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,839 for the mayor to enter into a contract 821 00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:24,240 but I think the the chairman wishes to 822 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:26,280 no but I think we we're authorizing the 823 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,800 mayor so to enter into

the exact same 1013 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,640 site that the original AR funds were 1014 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,440 requested 1015 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,040 for go ahead please so so we have here 1016 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,400 what the original scope um was 1017 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,839 for what happens to all of these things 1018 00:46:22,839 --> 00:46:24,400 that that you wanted the money for 1019 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,319 they're wrapped into the larger $47 1020 00:46:26,319 --> 00:46:28,079 million project so we're not going to 1021 00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:30,839 replace windows right now at the 1022 00:46:30,839 --> 00:46:33,319 beginning of the project now that we are 1023 00:46:33,319 --> 00:46:36,160 getting our $47 million a part of that 1024 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,160 is the window project um so it's just 1025 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,319 the the software cost at the beginning 1026 00:46:41,319 --> 00:46:44,440 of doing site prep that is is more 1027 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,240 integral I mean we didn't know that at 1028 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:47,359 the time in 1029 00:46:47,359 --> 00:46:49,359 2021 1030 00:46:49,359 --> 00:46:52,920 so go ahead please so so what I'm 1031 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,760 understanding is that the initial scope 1032 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,640 of work that you want wanted to get done 1033 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,440 will still be we still will be getting 1034 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,480 done it's just a different pot of pot of 1035 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,200 money okay all right okay yes when we 1036 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,000 first wrote the grant essentially these 1037 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,880 were Standalone projects not wrapped 1038 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,520 into the larger scope now we're just 1039 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,559 hoping for the flexibility with the 1040 00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:15,800 larger Capital stack to to um really 1041 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:20,630 wrap it in 1042 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,760 that did we did we not change this um 1043 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,319 one time the the requirement initially 1044 00:47:27,319 --> 00:47:32,200 you asked us to do was 365,000 was to do 1045 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,319 certain project and then you came to us 1046 00:47:35,319 --> 00:47:38,800 and ask us to change the the allocation 1047 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,000 to the Early Learning Center but it was 1048 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,800 outside of the city and so it was denied 1049 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,200 right am I correct in saying that 1050 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,160 correct it didn't actually um they 1051 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,839 wanted to move that money to the Early 1052 00:47:48,839 --> 00:47:50,720 Learning Center it was in Rotterdam and 1053 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:52,359 from our prior experience we're not 1054 00:47:52,359 --> 00:47:55,119 paying for things outside the city so 1055 00:47:55,119 --> 00:47:59,920 didn't even get that not accept not AC 1056 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,880 so Mr M I do have um are you talking 1057 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,480 about this do you have 1058 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:10,240 it yeah go ahead so initially in in our 1059 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,000 resolution that we did in 1060 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,319 2022 um this 1061 00:48:15,319 --> 00:48:18,920 364,000 for uh permanent housing for the 1062 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:27,400 400 um single occup and units right and the repair of the building at 44 24 1063 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,520 Washton and this is still yes but the 1064 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,319 Harbor House is really is it really at 1065 00:48:34,319 --> 00:48:37,400 24 is it behind 44 Harbor House is the 1066 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,280 entire project now so it's the 1067 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,520 renovation of the current 1929 building 1068 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,400 and the establishment of the new 1069 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,720 building the funds that we're asking for 1070 00:48:46,720 --> 00:48:49,079 you to reallocate or to be more flexible 1071 00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:51,799 with are for that 44 Washington Avenue 1072 00:48:51,799 --> 00:48:55,359 1929 building and some of it for Harbor 1073 00:48:55,359 --> 00:48:58,319 HS based on the entire project is called 1074 00:48:58,319 --> 00:49:00,119 Harbor House it's just a project name 1075 00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:02,960 yes Harbor House is two two phases so it 1076 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,200 includes the new development behind 44 1077 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:06,880 Washington Avenue but it's also the 1078 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,640 substantial Rehabilitation of the 44 1079 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,710 Washington Avenue affordable housing 1080 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:16,480 units let's move there go ahead because 1081 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,960 in in the originally in 1082 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,520 2022 they're separate you have Harbor 1083 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,440 House which we gave $750,000 to and you 1084 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,160 call that something separate Harbor 1085 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,240 House and then the critical need 1086 00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,520 was was separate so it was 1087 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,280 ited one B project so at that time it 1088 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,559 was a two-phase project that we were 1089 00:49:35,559 --> 00:49:38,000 trying to get funded separately to do 1090 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,079 different funding streams since then 1091 00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:42,599 we've put all of the funding together to 1092 00:49:42,599 --> 00:49:46,440 do it in one phase being the renovation 1093 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,640 and the creation of the new building so 1094 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,920 it is all one phase of building going on 1095 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,720 and this is because of the tax credits 1096 00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:57,160 that are available is that we are more 1097 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,119 competitive if we were to do it all in 1098 00:49:59,119 --> 00:50:00,920 one stage 1099 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,400 lously thank you 1100 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,160 sure go ahead please uh thank you for 1101 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,240 the overview my one question is you said 1102 00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:11,000 these new modifications for that 1103 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,680 allocated money you said they weren't 1104 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,319 wrapped into the larger project can you 1105 00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:17,319 just explain why that we thought we were 1106 00:50:17,319 --> 00:50:19,200 going to get funded a lot sooner for the 1107 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,920 larger project and so as we were waiting 1108 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,440 and waiting and waiting and now we're 1109 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,119 getting the funding there was just 1110 00:50:26,119 --> 00:50:28,359 there's this overlap now because as 1111 00:50:28,359 --> 00:50:31,480 xenolith who is our partner in the big 1112 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,720 project and they are the the contractors 1113 00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:36,240 and the developers they're like we don't 1114 00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:37,799 think we should do windows if we have to 1115 00:50:37,799 --> 00:50:41,240 do a baitman yet repeat that again like 1116 00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:42,760 why would we put in new windows if we 1117 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,640 have to do let a batement and as best as 1118 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,559 a batement like so we would actually be 1119 00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:48,400 wasting the city's money if we did some 1120 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,760 of these projects first rather than 1121 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,480 doing it in the way that you know 1122 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:54,839 christic construction is saying we 1123 00:50:54,839 --> 00:50:56,839 should do it so this has been a large 1124 00:50:56,839 --> 00:50:58,359 process of conversation to make sure 1125 00:50:58,359 --> 00:51:01,920 we're not wasting dollars by doing new 1126 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,319 windows and then all of a sudden we've 1127 00:51:03,319 --> 00:51:04,400 got to rip those out because there's 1128 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,680 this best of behind them so does that 1129 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:11,040 expl yes sir sure in your U original ask 1130 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,720 in the application you you mentioned 1131 00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:15,400 that you need immediate need for repairs 1132 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,559 are those falling into safety 1133 00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:22,160 concerns and why why why not why not 1134 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,559 repair them with this 1135 00:51:23,559 --> 00:51:26,200 money we we are but they need to be 1136 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,920 wrapped in into the larger project 1137 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,160 because there's steps that have to be 1138 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,640 taken like step one is not to put new 1139 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,480 windows in Step One is going to be to do 1140 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:33,960 a batement within the building because 1141 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,680 it's a 1929 building so there's a lot of 1142 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,920 asbest or lead that needs to be taken 1143 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,960 care of and then we'll move on like I am 1144 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,119 not a developer nor am I a construction 1145 00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:45,040 contractor so they have asked us to 1146 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,640 request this reallocation in light of 1147 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,960 the entire larger project to make sure 1148 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,799 we're not wasting the city's dollars by 1149 00:51:52,799 --> 00:51:55,799 doing something that seems a bit out of 1150 00:51:55,799 --> 00:51:57,559 line with the process that should take 1151 00:51:57,559 --> 00:51:59,880 place that's why I'm trying to get in 1152 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:01,799 terms of it was it was needed there for 1153 00:52:01,799 --> 00:52:04,559 immediate repair so why not do it why 1154 00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:06,680 wait until next year cuz we'd be ripping 1155 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,520 them out and wasting the dollars to do 1156 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,319 other things that need to be done around 1157 00:52:12,319 --> 00:52:16,000 say the windows or the drain pits or and 1158 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,520 that's why the water man is the first 1159 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,799 thing we're doing CU that's kind of like 1160 00:52:18,799 --> 00:52:20,440 a hard crost you need a good water main 1161 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,680 to be able to put in the number of units 1162 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:30,630 we're going to be putting in 1163 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,400 I just want a clarification you said who recommended that you well the 1164 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,400 construction company okay y like Chris 1165 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,319 say is our big contractor on the larger 1166 00:52:40,319 --> 00:52:44,040 project the $47 million project so we we 1167 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,520 don't want to go put new windows in if 1168 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,000 they're going to come back and say well 1169 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,400 now we're going to rip those out because 1170 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,680 so you know we're we're trying to work 1171 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,960 with there's nine or 10 of us on this 1172 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,839 project team so so far none of this work 1173 00:52:57,839 --> 00:53:00,280 has been done well the water main is 1174 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,559 under we've got the specs and we've got 1175 00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:05,599 the drawings and we've s it out to bid 1176 00:53:05,599 --> 00:53:08,119 and we've got an approval from the city 1177 00:53:08,119 --> 00:53:10,040 for the bidder and they're coming on 1178 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,520 site this week to actually do a final 1179 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,799 walkth through so that's going to 1180 00:53:14,799 --> 00:53:17,839 proceed imminently but the other areas 1181 00:53:17,839 --> 00:53:18,760 are 1182 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,640 not and And to clarify that the timeline 1183 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,559 has changed because as we said we had to 1184 00:53:24,559 --> 00:53:26,640 um pretty substantially change our 1185 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,720 strategy for the project at first it was 1186 00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:30,240 two different phases and we were 1187 00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:33,040 pursuing a different line of tax credits 1188 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,079 um which was deeply competitive and 1189 00:53:35,079 --> 00:53:37,040 because we are in a historic district we 1190 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,520 were already ineligible because our 1191 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,319 costs were higher no matter what we we 1192 00:53:41,319 --> 00:53:45,040 did so going toward this um new so from 1193 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,440 9% to 4% 9% to 4% that is why the 1194 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,480 timeline has shifted but we are really 1195 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,559 confident now we have our Capital sta in 1196 00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:54,599 order and we're ready to go in early 1197 00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:58,390 spring 2025 1198 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,160 go ahead please I know you can never be 1199 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:01,880 100% confident how confident are you 1200 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,319 that there are no other obstacles or 1201 00:54:03,319 --> 00:54:05,079 barriers ahead or how much of that 1202 00:54:05,079 --> 00:54:08,440 funding is completely align I don't even 1203 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,720 want to think about that but um I'm 1204 00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:13,480 going to say 99% sure we've spoken with 1205 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,200 people at the state level who were in 1206 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,640 conversations with all of the different 1207 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,160 funding sources which you know isi 1208 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,200 dollars the 4% tax credit folks uh uh 1209 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,880 HH HFA all all of the letters so um and 1210 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,200 they're all saying this is a go so I 1211 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,000 have to say unless some catastrophic 1212 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,040 world event 1213 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,799 happens we are a 1214 00:54:39,799 --> 00:54:42,400 go so that's kind of the follow up on 1215 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,280 his question so you you believe that all 1216 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,960 your money is going to be because you 1217 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,119 have a significant Gap the current Gap 1218 00:54:50,119 --> 00:54:51,839 based on this this I don't know what 1219 00:54:51,839 --> 00:54:52,960 you're looking at I'm looking at the 1220 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,640 letter that we said just the current Gap 1221 00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,000 that 1222 00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,160 that's so the the HCR funds that we are 1223 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,280 pursuing this is the final Capital stack 1224 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,559 that is the the tax credits that we were 1225 00:55:05,559 --> 00:55:08,359 referring to we are essentially just in 1226 00:55:08,359 --> 00:55:10,480 line we're in line with the 4% tax 1227 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,559 credit yes um we have to wait until we 1228 00:55:13,559 --> 00:55:17,200 are first in Q essentially and and that 1229 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,280 is the remaining Gap there that we are 1230 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,039 referring to so when you go for a 4% tax 1231 00:55:22,039 --> 00:55:24,119 credit the difference between 4% and 9% 1232 00:55:24,119 --> 00:55:26,400 is that you get in a line for your 1233 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,880 project and we keep being told we are we 1234 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,680 are right there um meaning and they've 1235 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,559 given us the date they have given us the 1236 00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:36,799 date of spring 2025 when we'll be ready 1237 00:55:36,799 --> 00:55:39,640 Darren Scott from HCR has spoken with us 1238 00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,960 and told us that so until our number 1239 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,280 comes up in the queue it's like waiting 1240 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,160 for a transplant we don't 1241 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,720 know right when it's going to happen but 1242 00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:51,920 all of the powers that be are saying 1243 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,039 early spring be ready to go and we are 1244 00:55:55,039 --> 00:55:57,520 proceeding with our developers and all 1245 00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,960 of the I mean we meet weekly sometimes 1246 00:55:59,960 --> 00:56:02,440 twice weekly with everybody on the team 1247 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:06,280 because we're we're going like like I I 1248 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,880 don't know what else I can do other than 1249 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,480 I would need to get a letter from HCR 1250 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,960 but 4% tax credits don't work that 1251 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,520 way anybody 1252 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,119 else go ahead please so you say pending 1253 00:56:18,119 --> 00:56:20,200 from the city 1.5 1254 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,079 million 1255 00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:24,359 home the the home funds we are 1256 00:56:24,359 --> 00:56:27,760 reapplying for in order to um be better 1257 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,720 on the funding timeline with our home 1258 00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:32,960 funds it was a timeline discrepancy so 1259 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:34,680 we have to wait for the answer is what 1260 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,280 we were told why we didn't get the home 1261 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:43,119 off which is a 1.5 request but we have 1262 00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:46,520 47 40 let's say 44 other million dollars 1263 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,400 we're going to be using this isn't a 1264 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,559 like a one month project it's like a 12 1265 00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:53,000 to 18 month project so the project will 1266 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,960 get underway with all the other dollars 1267 00:56:54,960 --> 00:57:04,190 in the stack 1268 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:13,670 okay any other 1269 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:23,750 questions Mr Man put your hands 1270 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,319 with how this question for the council I 1271 00:57:27,319 --> 00:57:29,079 mean I I can't recall that we move 1272 00:57:29,079 --> 00:57:31,440 funding from one project to another 1273 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,359 project I think we move funding within 1274 00:57:33,359 --> 00:57:36,559 the same project but a a little bit of 1275 00:57:36,559 --> 00:57:38,760 deviation from the description the 1276 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,920 specification so this is that's all 1277 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,039 that's happening here is just moving it 1278 00:57:43,039 --> 00:57:44,799 internally within the building what's 1279 00:57:44,799 --> 00:57:47,359 getting done at what 1280 00:57:47,359 --> 00:57:52,630 time that's what we 1281 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,960 do go have pleas I'm I'm comfortable 1282 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,480 with this I mean I think that have done 1283 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,520 their due diligence the construction 1284 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,079 project as you know again like Kim I'm 1285 00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:04,520 not a construction manager or a 1286 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,480 contracting company but I think we all 1287 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,480 know that things can change um so again 1288 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,880 it is just using our money 1289 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,480 um to meet the changing needs that have 1290 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,520 happened but it's still the same project 1291 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,760 which is obviously still a really 1292 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,760 valuable project in terms of the folks 1293 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,640 that will receive this housing um you 1294 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,960 know it's very important that they do so 1295 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,960 I'm I'm in support of this go ahead 1296 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,839 please so I I so my question earlier was 1297 00:58:33,839 --> 00:58:35,599 around like the scope of the project um 1298 00:58:35,599 --> 00:58:38,160 to make sure that the original scope was 1299 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:39,640 still going to be met which is really 1300 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,920 important to me um and I think that my 1301 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,720 question is not around like you know 1302 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,280 importance of this project or whether 1303 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,119 it's important or not it just it does 1304 00:58:51,119 --> 00:58:54,559 kind of make me think about like um our 1305 00:58:54,559 --> 00:58:56,920 flexibility with other projects as well 1306 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,119 right and I want to just you know again 1307 00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:01,720 I'm always going to be um trying to 1308 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,440 encourage us to use an equitable lens 1309 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:04,880 when we approach everything that we're 1310 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:09,589 doing here and I just I'm wondering 1311 00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:14,839 about our consistency of um kind of 1312 00:59:14,839 --> 00:59:18,480 being flexibility with uh other projects 1313 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,079 that that we have too so that's just a 1314 00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:21,599 thought in my had as far as this right 1315 00:59:21,599 --> 00:59:23,640 here um I think that 1316 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,599 um if the buin of school for the project 1317 00:59:26,599 --> 00:59:29,079 it's going to be met um then you know I 1318 00:59:29,079 --> 00:59:32,440 could see why how we can make a a 1319 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,799 justification for doing it um but to 1320 00:59:34,799 --> 00:59:39,039 your to what I think your point was um I 1321 00:59:39,039 --> 00:59:40,880 don't know if we've had other projects 1322 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:44,559 come forth and request something similar 1323 00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:48,079 and we haven't um given it to them based 1324 00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:50,720 on what the original agreement was so I 1325 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,079 just think about that stuff I think that 1326 00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:53,799 we want to continue to be flexible as we 1327 00:59:53,799 --> 00:59:56,720 can 1328 00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,720 go ahead please and this project has 1329 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,400 changed dramatically in terms of its 1330 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,520 scope where it was originally proposed 1331 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,559 to do the new building on the rear of 1332 01:00:07,559 --> 01:00:11,359 the campus and leave the front building 1333 01:00:11,359 --> 01:00:15,520 in a disrespect less than a desirable 1334 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,920 condition then try and line up the money 1335 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,359 for it what has happened is they've 1336 01:00:20,359 --> 01:00:23,480 lined up the money for the whole project 1337 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,240 as a result that it's taken a little bit 1338 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,240 longer but there are these components of 1339 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,039 the water line some of the other 1340 01:00:30,039 --> 01:00:32,599 features the front steps that were done 1341 01:00:32,599 --> 01:00:35,359 that were always originally planned to 1342 01:00:35,359 --> 01:00:38,079 be done just the timing has changed a 1343 01:00:38,079 --> 01:00:40,599 little bit and so I again would ask the 1344 01:00:40,599 --> 01:00:42,920 council to move ahead with these 1345 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,920 recommended changes and that is going to 1346 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,400 be a project that reflects well on that 1347 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,160 organization it is going to dramatically 1348 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,119 increase its ability to serve its 1349 01:00:54,119 --> 01:00:57,680 targeted group and and everybody's going 1350 01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:04,510 to look good at the end of 1351 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,520 this go ahead please I just have a 1352 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,319 question this question so what if for 1353 01:01:09,319 --> 01:01:11,799 what happens if the 1.5 million when you 1354 01:01:11,799 --> 01:01:13,920 go to the next round I and how it goes 1355 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,079 you you put it in and it doesn't work 1356 01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:17,680 out you put it in again it doesn't work 1357 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,319 out what happens to your project if the 1358 01:01:20,319 --> 01:01:23,359 1.5 million does not come through well 1359 01:01:23,359 --> 01:01:26,839 1.5 million out of 47 million is really 1360 01:01:26,839 --> 01:01:32,280 a small and I know it's not small but in this particular situation we'd be 1361 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,480 going to the investors who have already 1362 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,720 signed off on the project to increase 1363 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,079 their support we have a number of large 1364 01:01:39,079 --> 01:01:41,440 investors involved because it's 4% tax 1365 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,359 credit um so we'd do that I mean and 1366 01:01:44,359 --> 01:01:45,920 Kyla has been an extraordinary grant 1367 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,839 writer I can't predict the future I'd 1368 01:01:47,839 --> 01:01:50,480 love to say that I'd love to predict the 1369 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,720 future the project would already be done 1370 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:55,559 um but because I can't you know that's a 1371 01:01:55,559 --> 01:01:57,640 valid it's it's a really valid question 1372 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,880 but I don't think we'll stop until we 1373 01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:04,240 get the bucket full if that does 1374 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,880 happen so so you're ready to to go ahead 1375 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,559 and spend $98,000 for the water man rep 1376 01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:13,160 replacement well we have the bids ready 1377 01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,039 and so and the balance is going towards 1378 01:02:16,039 --> 01:02:18,440 the Harbor House 1379 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,520 right right the 266 1380 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,559 449 and I have I have to uh you know 1381 01:02:25,559 --> 01:02:27,799 think and Mr Harley and come in there 1382 01:02:27,799 --> 01:02:29,480 that I mean we're going to have to be 1383 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,680 open up if anybody else come forward 1384 01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,000 before us you know with a recommendation 1385 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,960 wanted to move to a next project we have 1386 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:36,799 because this is the first time we're 1387 01:02:36,799 --> 01:02:38,640 doing this we're moving an entire 1388 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,720 Project funding into another project so 1389 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,559 if some agency come before us we have to 1390 01:02:44,559 --> 01:02:47,760 have an open lens to look at that yeah 1391 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,559 is that's what I'm trying to get at yeah 1392 01:02:49,559 --> 01:02:51,599 definitely so so what I what I CU as far 1393 01:02:51,599 --> 01:02:55,119 as this project here goes I mean this is 1394 01:02:55,119 --> 01:02:57,359 even to the point I think that it has 1395 01:02:57,359 --> 01:02:59,559 changed but it's Chang in scope and 1396 01:02:59,559 --> 01:03:01,039 change for the back right I think that 1397 01:03:01,039 --> 01:03:02,640 this is something that that's good that 1398 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,240 you'll be able to have a larger impact 1399 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,520 in the community I Ser do very important 1400 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:11,039 work so all things are uh you know all those things are true I guess my 1401 01:03:11,039 --> 01:03:13,520 conversation um amongst the council is 1402 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,760 that as we do this I think that we are 1403 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,520 in a really unique position with this 1404 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,880 funding that we can be somewhat more 1405 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,480 flexible than what we can do with 1406 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,440 traditional fundings I just want us to 1407 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:25,359 keep that same energy as we're 1408 01:03:25,359 --> 01:03:27,480 approaching you know other projects that 1409 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,039 um have uh that um are living in the 1410 01:03:31,039 --> 01:03:33,359 city and even some of our kind of 1411 01:03:33,359 --> 01:03:37,119 smaller projects who don't um uh might 1412 01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:41,520 not have the same capacity to raise um 1413 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:42,839 do the great work that you're doing 1414 01:03:42,839 --> 01:03:44,559 institutionally right now at least that 1415 01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:46,599 type of capital that was just my point 1416 01:03:46,599 --> 01:03:49,200 absolutely I support that well I think 1417 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,880 um I just have to say that I I would be 1418 01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,000 open to hearing if there were other 1419 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,920 projects but again I think we to really 1420 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,680 examine on a Case by case basis sure 1421 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,200 that you know what's their experience 1422 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,160 what's their expertise what is the rest 1423 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,799 of the funding package you know we I I 1424 01:04:06,799 --> 01:04:08,480 guess I wouldn't want to be cart blanch 1425 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,079 I mean we'd be open to looking at other 1426 01:04:11,079 --> 01:04:14,559 things if they come up but we have to um 1427 01:04:14,559 --> 01:04:17,319 make our judgments based on a Case by 1428 01:04:17,319 --> 01:04:19,240 case basis absolutely yeah so yeah so 1429 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,240 let me because I want clear confusion 1430 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,119 around me saying that like no obviously 1431 01:04:23,119 --> 01:04:25,480 we have to make the informed decisions 1432 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:26,920 and right calculations is what you're 1433 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,319 saying what I was saying is that my 1434 01:04:29,319 --> 01:04:31,079 point is that to be Equitable in our 1435 01:04:31,079 --> 01:04:34,240 approach is that to be is to make sure 1436 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,880 that we are being as flexible and 1437 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:44,200 responsive as we can be to all of the um agencies that are coming forth to do 1438 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,319 this work and I don't want to be in a 1439 01:04:46,319 --> 01:04:49,400 position to where you know we're we're 1440 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,640 not showing that same flexibility and 1441 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,079 understanding cuz as important as it is 1442 01:04:53,079 --> 01:04:55,160 in this which I'm full supportive by the 1443 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,119 way um I just want to make sure that we 1444 01:04:58,119 --> 01:04:59,760 have that same type of lens when we're 1445 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,240 looking at other people because 1446 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,079 sometimes I don't know that we do that 1447 01:05:03,079 --> 01:05:05,160 without having that sense of 1448 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,279 intentionality and really staing it 1449 01:05:07,279 --> 01:05:08,480 explicitly in the beginning of a 1450 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,960 conversation that's why I think it's important to be 1451 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,839 noted go ahead please so I guess I'm 1452 01:05:15,839 --> 01:05:17,400 trying to be considered of the next 1453 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,039 topic that's coming down the line of 1454 01:05:19,039 --> 01:05:21,480 where the rest of our projects are uh it 1455 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,119 sounds as if I mean you've been very 1456 01:05:23,119 --> 01:05:25,200 clear the water main replacement is this 1457 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,720 all po need to allow or approve this 1458 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,720 adjustment I'm very comfortable moving 1459 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,240 forward with that um can you speak to 1460 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:34,960 the critical health and safety updates 1461 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:35,960 is that something that you're in a 1462 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,039 similar position to also with the bidden 1463 01:05:38,039 --> 01:05:39,920 contract or is that work that is going 1464 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,440 to be adjusted to the back end I guess 1465 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,119 from trying to identify is these 1466 01:05:44,119 --> 01:05:45,799 additional like construction costs is 1467 01:05:45,799 --> 01:05:49,400 that ACC across the the entirety of the 1468 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,599 project where is it anything that we're 1469 01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:53,440 talking about sense of urgency we have 1470 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,279 to be process right now or you just 1471 01:05:55,279 --> 01:05:57,039 trying to leverage the monies where 1472 01:05:57,039 --> 01:05:59,119 you're not having to repeat work well 1473 01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:00,920 this will be wrapped into the larger 1474 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,920 project that will start in March so 1475 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,839 again I will be at the mercy of the 1476 01:06:04,839 --> 01:06:07,279 contractors okay um obviously they'll 1477 01:06:07,279 --> 01:06:09,000 probably address the health health and 1478 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,559 safety issues first and one of the 1479 01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:14,559 biggest ones is a a bait um and so 1480 01:06:14,559 --> 01:06:16,079 that's where the scope might change a 1481 01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:18,799 little but the the drainage uh not that 1482 01:06:18,799 --> 01:06:20,559 the water main definitely needs to start 1483 01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:22,119 because in order for us to create the 1484 01:06:22,119 --> 01:06:24,599 new building in the back we need a 1485 01:06:24,599 --> 01:06:27,440 higher level of water coming through um 1486 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:28,960 uh the drainage pits are going to be 1487 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,119 part of the larger project obviously we 1488 01:06:31,119 --> 01:06:33,640 wouldn't be doing those until things 1489 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:34,920 that are going to fall from the upper 1490 01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:36,559 levels with the renovation aren't going 1491 01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:38,559 to destroy whatever work might be done 1492 01:06:38,559 --> 01:06:40,920 down below and the windows will be done 1493 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,440 at a time when we know that we've 1494 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,760 rebuilt all the Sills the seals are not 1495 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,799 in great repair and then put the new 1496 01:06:47,799 --> 01:06:48,880 windows 1497 01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:53,559 in by amending the budget to um to cover 1498 01:06:53,559 --> 01:06:56,440 the early stages of construction being 1499 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,880 extra considerate of the the funding 1500 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,039 timeline and deadlines of arpa where 1501 01:07:01,039 --> 01:07:03,039 even if something does change even if 1502 01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:05,559 the timeline does God forbid change one 1503 01:07:05,559 --> 01:07:08,920 more time we're it's absolutely going to 1504 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,880 be done by the June 30th 2026 deadline 1505 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,079 doing the early stages is if anything 1506 01:07:15,079 --> 01:07:17,799 the best insurance that we can have from 1507 01:07:17,799 --> 01:07:20,720 for this project which it's changing day 1508 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,839 by day and taking so many twists and 1509 01:07:22,839 --> 01:07:25,319 turns um and while we are talking about 1510 01:07:25,319 --> 01:07:27,680 this in a larger broader context of the 1511 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,920 Harbor House project ultimately the 1512 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,200 original arpa Grant was for crial 1513 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,000 Capital repairs at 44 Washington Avenue 1514 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,920 and it is still for critical Capital 1515 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:43,510 repairs at 44 Washington 1516 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,160 Avenue 1517 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,359 please I I think thank you for the the 1518 01:07:49,359 --> 01:07:51,559 presentation I think the spirit and 1519 01:07:51,559 --> 01:07:53,720 scope and intent of the proposal really 1520 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,559 the same and I think as as we all know 1521 01:07:56,559 --> 01:07:58,599 variables change and they can change 1522 01:07:58,599 --> 01:08:01,640 rapidly um so I'm in support of of the 1523 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,400 modifications and also what council 1524 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,200 Farley mentioned is that we we need to 1525 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,839 be open to um looking at um as as people 1526 01:08:09,839 --> 01:08:11,960 encounter barriers and and changes in 1527 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,680 the um original um proposals that there 1528 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,199 may be a need for that how we entertain 1529 01:08:18,199 --> 01:08:21,880 that in a effable way this prob so I'm 1530 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,319 happy to support this I have a question 1531 01:08:25,319 --> 01:08:28,600 um please so so you're taking nav's 1532 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:34,110 house out of this it was never in it 1533 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,880 nav na I'm by what I had goad Navia 1534 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,759 house was never part of the Harbor House 1535 01:08:41,759 --> 01:08:45,120 project we were thinking about longterm 1536 01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,159 our our funding prospects where we are 1537 01:08:47,159 --> 01:08:48,799 still focused on Harbor House we are 1538 01:08:48,799 --> 01:08:50,239 still focused on the Early Learning 1539 01:08:50,239 --> 01:08:52,719 Center move uh there wasn't any 1540 01:08:52,719 --> 01:08:55,080 flexibility currently to apply to other 1541 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,400 prospects for needed changes at Navia 1542 01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,000 house that's why initially we we added 1543 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,799 it here but as as we spoke and realized 1544 01:09:03,799 --> 01:09:05,600 as we

um Department felt 1783 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:22,360 with each project for me I was asking if 1784 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,159 there's a way to include a Col 1785 01:20:25,159 --> 01:20:29,239 to just highlight uh how many years said 1786 01:20:29,239 --> 01:20:30,600 organizations have been receiving 1787 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,719 funding but I guess what I'm 1788 01:20:32,719 --> 01:20:34,679 specifically asking for is what is their 1789 01:20:34,679 --> 01:20:37,120 ability to meet like the tangibles like 1790 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,960 that's the efficacy of them delivering 1791 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:40,280 so that's one of the things that they're 1792 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,520 scored on in the application right also 1793 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,440 being in compliant how they spend the 1794 01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:47,600 money now the team has considered all of 1795 01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:48,880 those things when looking at these 1796 01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,159 applications some of our um I would be 1797 01:20:52,159 --> 01:20:53,560 remissed if I didn't say this some of 1798 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:55,159 our sub reant were trying to kind of 1799 01:20:55,159 --> 01:20:58,760 wing them off of support so to speak um 1800 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,920 to be sustainable without every year 1801 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,440 applying for the fund so that we can 1802 01:21:03,440 --> 01:21:05,800 open up the pool and do maybe internal 1803 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,840 projects because right now a lot of our 1804 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,280 smaller subrecipients solely depend on 1805 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:12,920 the city of connected cdbg funding so 1806 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,440 we're trying to give them the support to 1807 01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:17,480 be able to apply for other funding so 1808 01:21:17,480 --> 01:21:19,360 that we can use some of the funding for 1809 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:22,440 some of our internal um 1810 01:21:22,440 --> 01:21:26,360 priorities like trash 1811 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,760 is that is that information that you 1812 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,880 feel comfortable disclosing on this form 1813 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,679 not now I cuz I know we're at the final 1814 01:21:32,679 --> 01:21:35,159 probably not on this form but I can give 1815

reviewer are 1818 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:44,960 cuz my team was worried about that too 1819 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,159 if I tell you who reviewed the 1820 01:21:47,159 --> 01:21:49,760 application

01:24:14,280 engineering study of two pump stations 1874 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,840 in downtown one southb street Pump 1875 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:18,000 Station and the other would be the 1876 01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,600 Broadway Pump Station pump stations are 1877 01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,800 old um they've been there and been touch 1878 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,000 other than Motors and parts um for the 1879 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:31,000 last 45 years I've been here so um our 1880 01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:32,480 development has changed down there 1881 01:24:32,480 --> 01:24:36,320

stations um and go into a design um 1890 01:24:57,719 --> 01:25:01,320 for upgrading um so that is part of the 1891 01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:05,040 um critera to have a preliminary juring 1892 01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,960 report prior to doing something else 1893 01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,760 with a project it puts us gives us 1894 01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,199 eligibility for future grants for that 1895 01:25:12,199 --> 01:25:14,600 project 1896 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,679 questions seeing none we have a motion 1897 01:25:16,679 --> 01:25:17,960 to move this item 1898 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,239 forward second second all in favor thank 1899 01:25:21,239 --> 01:25:26,159 you m i well not this one particular 1900 01:25:26,159 --> 01:25:28,280 project but I know that um we had 1901 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:29,920 another pump I didn't know there was so 1902 01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:31,320 many pump stations for so let me just 1903 01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,679 say that in the city so I knew that we 1904 01:25:33,679 --> 01:25:35,880 had the pump station um you mentioned it 1905 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:37,520 at the legislative conference on 1906 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,440 Washington Avenue that's storm storm 1907 01:25:40,440 --> 01:25:45,239 order okay so um is it a similar I think 1908 01:25:45,239 --> 01:25:48,600 we uh last year we allocated money the 1909 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,760 difference is theing house we do have we 1910 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:54,840 do have current money to um working on 1911 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:57,920 that uh um that is storm water so that 1912 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,239 handles some storm water FL okay the two 1913 01:26:00,239 --> 01:26:02,719 pump stations in towntown the South fa 1914 01:26:02,719 --> 01:26:05,719 and the Broadway are 1915 01:26:05,719 --> 01:26:08,639 sanitary difference but they're impact 1916 01:26:08,639 --> 01:26:12,280 because you know um we call I ey inflow 1917 01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,480 and um infiltration is when storm water 1918 01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:17,040 still because the pipes are 100 years 1919 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,320 old in the city they still Infiltrate 1920 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,600 The sanitary Lin so they're still um you 1921 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,360 know if it was a perfect enclosed PL 1922 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,520 system what everybody used as waste 1923 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:28,480 water in their houses apartments and 1924 01:26:28,480 --> 01:26:30,360 restaurants and businesses would only be 1925 01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,760 in that pipe but the flow is always 1926 01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,639 greater because conditional pipes old 1927 01:26:35,639 --> 01:26:37,400 pipes they crack their clay pipes they 1928 01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,440 just get natural infiltration so the 1929 01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:41,719 mans they're brim so you get natural 1930 01:26:41,719 --> 01:26:43,760 infiltration which creates more water 1931 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,280 going through that pump station than it 1932 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:49,320 was just a PL sewer system so the 1933 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,880 Washington an pum station is another 1934 01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:53,600 project which is part of the resiliency 1935 01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,040 project along with with with the uh 1936 01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:59,480 waste treatment plan River Homes so we 1937 01:26:59,480 --> 01:27:01,880 do have grant money for that consider gr 1938 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:05,760 money that to us earlier in this year so 1939 01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:07,080 do we have a time I mean is it going to 1940 01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:08,320 be similar to this we have to have a 1941 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,320 study Etc and so on that study's been 1942 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,960 done we have the grant money okay now we 1943 01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,119 have to um enter an agreement with a 1944 01:27:15,119 --> 01:27:19,000 consulting firm okay um and then um 1945 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,679 they'll do design that project is 1946 01:27:21,679 --> 01:27:26,119 probably 18 Maybe 20 24 months away 1947 01:27:26,119 --> 01:27:28,000 because it is a big project we're 1948 01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:28,920 probably talking $20 1949 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,480 [Music] 1950 01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:33,880

2127 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,239 get completed by that that any of this 2128 01:37:11,239 --> 01:37:12,440 work 2129 01:37:12,440 --> 01:37:16,719 is I don't know Council woman 2130 01:37:16,719 -->

01:37:41,840 to the public okay just SP now but I I 2139 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,040 can't confidently answer um that 2140 01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:46,400 question because either way the project 2141 01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:49,520 Carver um the co-op there is still a gap 2142 01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:51,840 and I think that um one of the concerns 2143 01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:53,960 is just addressing how we're going to 2144 01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:55,800 come how that money is going to move 2145 01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,830 forward the mayor did have some some 2146 01:37:58,830 --> 01:38:01,520 [Music] 2147 01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,040 ideas that was going to be my next my 2148 01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:06,719 next question says that you want to 2149 01:38:06,719 --> 01:38:09,080 share your you know how do you put the 2150 01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,920 money together for car what the bigger 2151 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:14,520 project is and there's not enough money 2152 01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,239 on the table so we're having discussions 2153 01:38:16,239 --> 01:38:20,760 to see if can move more money into that 2154 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:23,920 build so it um so for the Cooperative 2155 01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:25,840 because I'm going to start car The 2156 01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:30,400 Cooperative uh because it's on where 2157 01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,840 they're going to Craig May connection is 2158 01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:34,760 are there not opportunities and because 2159 01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,840 it's a historic building to um to assist 2160 01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,599 as we've been doing with the Y to assist 2161 01:38:40,599 --> 01:38:42,000 with you know trying to find some 2162 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:43,719 funding for them and you know helping 2163 01:38:43,719 --> 01:38:45,159 them because they don't have the 2164 01:38:45,159 --> 01:38:47,320 capacity of the why we we all know that 2165 01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,520 but is there ways to uh assist 2166 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,360 especially since it's sitting there 2167 01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:53,080 right in a place where there going to be 2168 01:38:53,080 -->

01:39:03,679 --> 01:39:05,480 seeking funding from other sources in 2172 01:39:05,480 --> 01:39:07,320 addition to what we 2173 01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,280 provided yes they they they should have 2174 01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:11,960 um we did ask for some additional 2175 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,280 information um from them recently with 2176 01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,679 the deadline so I'm looking to get their 2177 01:39:16,679 --> 01:39:20,199 updated plans on how what the organiz 2178 01:39:20,199 --> 01:39:22,080 what organizations are included in the 2179 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:24,360 colop um and that will help us find 2180 01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,360 other sources too um the department of 2181 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:29,560 development and planning supports that 2182 01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:31,000 trying to find other sources to go 2183 01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,560 towards the car center which I've 2184 01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:34,400 already relay that to the mayor as well 2185 01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:39,360 so we we have the information out to our city grant writer who has on her 2186 01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:46,910 radar so we are looking um to to 2187 01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:50,920 assist well I and if if the since they 2188 01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:52,440 submitted their application separately 2189 01:39:52,440 --> 01:39:53,880 and they're asking now to have it 2190 01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,360 separated again I I would be supportive 2191 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,360 of that so that they could move ahead 2192 01:39:58,360 --> 01:39:59,960 while they're not so they're not waiting 2193 01:39:59,960 --> 01:40:02,719 for the Carver to L up all of their 2194 01:40:02,719 --> 01:40:04,280 funding if this funding is going to get 2195 01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:06,920 them we needing to go without waiting 2196 01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,480 that's um what I'm hearing you say that 2197 01:40:09,480 --> 01:40:11,599 they wanted to separate and so they they 2198 01:40:11,599 --> 01:40:14,040 did articulate 2199 01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:18,960 that Mr M and Mr over here to your point 2200 01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,320 I mean should uh I would suggest that we 2201 01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:24,280 ask them for an updated uh budget 2202 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:26,960 because the last time it came it was 2203 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:30,280 $200,000 operating cost I mean it's a 2204 01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:33,920 year and a half ago so I would recommend 2205 01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:35,639 that we ask them for an updated um 2206 01:40:35,639 --> 01:40:37,520 budget in terms of operating cost so 2207 01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,239 that we can see where it lands today 2208 01:40:41,239 --> 01:40:44,400 before we proceed to make any um final 2209 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,480 allocation are you are you both entities 2210 01:40:47,480 --> 01:40:51,400 are you just speaking about um but you mentioned about Dury moving forward 2211 01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:54,000 they wanted to go separate 2212 01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:56,599 and I want to join team with the 2213 01:40:56,599 --> 01:40:58,560 Empowerment Center so I'm speaking 2214 01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,080 specifically about um durri Foundation 2215 01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:04,520 okay for an updated 2216 01:41:04,520 --> 01:41:07,000 budget okay Mr 2217 01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:11,000 Williams um so my question is if we can 2218 01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:12,679 kind of take step take a step back to a 2219 01:41:12,679 --> 01:41:16,119 previous agenda item the CBG uh final 2220 01:41:16,119 --> 01:41:18,440 approval when you are considering 2221 01:41:18,440 --> 01:41:21,320 funding organizations is that done with 2222 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:22,760 any considerations for other funding 2223 01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:24,480 streams are you looking Singularity 2224 01:41:24,480 --> 01:41:25,679 between the monies that you have 2225 01:41:25,679 --> 01:41:27,719 available to apply with your programs 2226 01:41:27,719 --> 01:41:30,400 say that again councilman so my my 2227 01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:32,480 bigger question is I'm looking at the 2228 01:41:32,480 --> 01:41:34,639 city's decision to fund the Empowerment 2229 01:41:34,639 --> 01:41:37,119 Center at a considerably less level than 2230 01:41:37,119 --> 01:41:39,000 what they requested and I'm worried 2231 01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:40,880 about us funding it and their 2232 01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:45,000 scaleability to meet that big ask of I 2233 01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,840 think you said what $8,000 is still 2234 01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:48,560 outlining and if we're trying to 2235 01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:51,400 identify additional funding to support a 2236 01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,920 resource that everyone has been in 2237 01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:55,920 agreement with supporting I think it 2238 01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:57,960 makes sense to move a considerable 2239 01:41:57,960 --> 01:41:59,960 amount if not all of that to support 2240 01:41:59,960 --> 01:42:03,270 this larger 2241 01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,560 effort I think that's kind of what's 2242 01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,960 been on the table from the mayor to move 2243 01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:10,199 the money that was allocated to the 2244 01:42:10,199 --> 01:42:12,800 Empowerment Center to the larger effort 2245 01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:14,480 but if I'm hearing them correctly and I 2246 01:42:14,480 --> 01:42:18,239 know you can't speak right there uh the 2247 01:42:18,239 --> 01:42:20,119 understanding it sounds like to 2248 01:42:20,119 --> 01:42:22,719 pull all three of these projects 2249 01:42:22,719 --> 01:42:24,920 together and I don't know if that's to a 2250 01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:30,030 detriment to any singular on being 2251 01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:33,159 affected what we're trying to work out 2252 01:42:33,159 --> 01:42:36,000 money is not there in the initial review 2253 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:41,870 to do the 2254 01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:44,719 carers do we know do we know how much 2255 01:42:44,719 --> 01:42:48,470 they need what would be 2256 01:42:48,480 --> 01:42:50,520 sufficient we're talking the building 2257 01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:54,880 inovations now number was in ballpark of 2258 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:56,920 3.2 2259 01:42:56,920 --> 01:43:00,520 million2 I'm not comfortable even using 2260 01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,639 that number because it's been a period 2261 01:43:02,639 --> 01:43:05,760 of time so in fact it may be a larger 2262 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:06,960 number 2263 01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:10,440 to complete what would be an adequate 2264 01:43:10,440 --> 01:43:17,310 stabilization and adaptive reuse of that 2265 01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,159 facility and the historic designation is 2266 01:43:20,159 --> 01:43:25,470 not helping oh it's not 2267 01:43:25,480 --> 01:43:29,320 okay up or now no no I no okay my 2268 01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:31,639 question I answered on conversation 2269 01:43:31,639 --> 01:43:33,800 that's all right 2270 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:37,480 um oh so if your hand is up see now now 2271 01:43:37,480 --> 01:43:40,400 you got me so the one question I have is 2272 01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,280 are we this is not coming for us for 30 2273 01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:43,400 to separate them out tonight are we 2274 01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:45,199 voting on that tonight no we're just 2275 01:43:45,199 --> 01:43:46,840 having a conversation right now she's 2276 01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:49,040 updating us on where we are with ARA 2277 01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,960 sure and so these are the three projects 2278 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,199 that are outstanding with speaking of 2279 01:43:54,199 --> 01:43:55,760 them 2280 01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,880 separately uh so that's what we're just 2281 01:43:57,880 --> 01:43:59,199 having yeah I was just wondering if 2282 01:43:59,199 --> 01:44:00,560 that's something 2283 01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,639 that and seeing how much money there is 2284 01:44:03,639 --> 01:44:04,760 remaining out of the money that was 2285 01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,760 originally allocated Mr mudaron has said 2286 01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:09,960 that he would like to hear like to see 2287 01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:12,920 an updated budget from J 2288 01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:14,480 foundation 2289 01:44:14,480 --> 01:44:17,760 and she's she's prepared to do that from 2290 01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:20,520 our conversation as well since she's now 2291 01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,520 asking when she came to present to 2292 01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:25,040 council she was asking reasing for her 2293 01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:27,119 original act before it was brought 2294 01:44:27,119 --> 01:44:29,440 together which was of like 900 and 2295 01:44:29,440 --> 01:44:31,880 something, um so the budget that the 2296 01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:34,560 council has for that does not support 2297 01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:37,400 the programing so she is aware and we 2298 01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,599 have acts for 2299 01:44:39,599 --> 01:44:42,560 that and do we also need to hear from 2300 01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:44,280 the co-op as to where they are with 2301 01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:47,719 funding yes we have um what we're in 2302 01:44:47,719 --> 01:44:49,679 August now we don't have a lot of time 2303 01:44:49,679 --> 01:44:51,880 no they both organizations were given 2304 01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:54,080 the deadline for update budgets and 2305 01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:55,960 outlining the demographics that they're 2306 01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:59,320 going to serve as for Friday August 9th 2307 01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:01,000 Friday 2308 01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,800 okay all of the organizations have been 2309 01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:09,360 given out the same not empowerment okay 2310 01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:11,840 underst some of that empowerment money 2311 01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:15,320 was to rehab the building so if you have 2312 01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:18,159 another building the program delivery 2313 01:45:18,159 --> 01:45:26,390 can be moved 2314 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:29,280 Mr Williams I I feel comfortable 2315 01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:32,239 speaking plainly uh I I don't golf but I 2316 01:45:32,239 --> 01:45:33,599 understand the importance of us funding 2317 01:45:33,599 --> 01:45:35,239 the irrigation system because that is a 2318 01:45:35,239 --> 01:45:37,560 really good resource within individuals 2319 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:40,960 that partake in that Community um I 2320 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,199 understood the importance of us doubling 2321 01:45:44,199 --> 01:45:46,719 our funding for the Central Park Pool I 2322 01:45:46,719 --> 01:45:49,080 don't swim but I understand the 2323 01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:51,280 importance of providing that resource to 2324 01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,599 not only our youth but parents who don't 2325 01:45:53,599 --> 01:45:55,239 have the ability to keep their bodies 2326 01:45:55,239 --> 01:45:57,599 cool down and hot and uh climates as as 2327 01:45:57,599 --> 01:46:01,880 we've been experiencing throughout the summer this year um I'm looking 2328 01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:04,800 forward to the investment that Arena 2329 01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,599 will bring to our community among other 2330 01:46:07,599 --> 01:46:11,480 tangible uh budget budgeted allocated it 2331 01:46:11,480 --> 01:46:14,119 items that facilitate a certain need for 2332 01:46:14,119 --> 01:46:16,560 a certain Community I think it is safe 2333 01:46:16,560 --> 01:46:19,719 to say that this community resource 2334 01:46:19,719 --> 01:46:22,000 center I don't have the words cuz I'm 2335 01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:23,520 very passionate about this we need to 2336 01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:25,800 find the funding and if that means that 2337 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:27,280 we need to dissolve the Empowerment 2338 01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,199 Center as of now I am in full support of 2339 01:46:30,199 --> 01:46:32,840 doing that if that means it buys time 2340 01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:35,239 for us to leverage other opportunities 2341 01:46:35,239 --> 01:46:36,920 but to say at this point we're now 2342 01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:39,560 skeptical because all the numbers don't 2343 01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:41,960 outline I would say I was supportive of 2344 01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:43,360 other projects and I'm asking for that 2345 01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:50,350 for 2346 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:53,159 this Madam president 2347 01:46:53,159 --> 01:46:55,080 you um you mentioned that you ask um DY 2348 01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,560 for an updated budget is there is there 2349 01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:00,520 any timeline attached to that August 9th 2350 01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:03,920 August a Friday it's Friday thank you I 2351 01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,159 missed that sorry and one one um one 2352 01:47:07,159 --> 01:47:09,080 other thing actually this is like more 2353 01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:12,159 for finance when we um when the auditor 2354 01:47:12,159 --> 01:47:14,119 came one of the things he said is that 2355 01:47:14,119 --> 01:47:16,440 there were still 31 million in arpa 2356 01:47:16,440 --> 01:47:18,480 funds so I don't know what that 2357 01:47:18,480 --> 01:47:21,719 breakdown looks like of uh but if 2358 01:47:21,719 --> 01:47:23,639 there's I'm not sure he just said 31 2359 01:47:23,639 --> 01:47:25,199 million so I didn't know if that meant 2360 01:47:25,199 --> 01:47:26,880 money that we 2361 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,000 had I didn't know what that number was 2362 01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:30,960 allocated encumbered I didn't know what 2363 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:32,639 but he said there was still 31 million 2364 01:47:32,639 --> 01:47:36,320 in his audit report of arpa funds so my 2365 01:47:36,320 -->

Central Parkway complete 2420 01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:24,440 Street project part of the sidewalk 2421 01:50:24,440 --> 01:50:25,960 Assessment program that the council put 2422 01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:28,239 in place several years ago uh project 2423 01:50:28,239 --> 01:50:29,840 went through several designs the design 2424 01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,639 that was landed on was concept D concept 2425 01:50:32,639 --> 01:50:36,000 D was put together bid uh we received 2426 01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,440 numerous bids for the work uh the bids 2427 01:50:38,440 --> 01:50:41,119 are in your package the bids uh with the 2428 01:50:41,119 --> 01:50:44,000 exception of an outlier were very tight 2429 01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,679 and the low bid was Keller construction 2430 01:50:47,679 --> 01:50:51,840 at which I have here $1.07 million uh we 2431 01:50:51,840 --> 01:50:54,960 have worked with before um not too much 2432 01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:56,960 recently but I did reach out to their 2433 01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:58,360 project manager today and speak with 2434 01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:00,840 them with our engineer and uh they're 2435 01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:02,079 comfortable with their bid and they're 2436 01:51:02,079 --> 01:51:04,520 looking to move forward with it so we 2437 01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:06,480 have uh no reason not to move forward 2438 01:51:06,480 --> 01:51:07,679 with the 2439 01:51:07,679 --> 01:51:10,800 bid any questions Mr M would you able to 2440 01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:16,320 give us a brief timeline so the timeline 2441 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:18,639 is we discussed it today cuz I knew you 2442 01:51:18,639 --> 01:51:19,840 would asked about it we don't think 2443 01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:20,920 we're going to have enough time to do 2444 01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:22,840 the entire Street given the size of the 2445 01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:25,079 street um there's two options that we 2446 01:51:25,079 --> 01:51:26,599 have and the option is we can do half of 2447 01:51:26,599 --> 01:51:29,000 the street possibly and do one side of 2448 01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,599 it get the concrete in and and get the 2449 01:51:31,599 --> 01:51:34,400 sidewalk curb and all that do bind your 2450 01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:36,199 course and leave it or we can push the 2451 01:51:36,199 --> 01:51:38,400 whole project and wait till the spring 2452 01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:40,040 um the reason that we don't want to push 2453 01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:42,920 the project uh too late is that the 2454 01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,719 project is a concrete project 2455 01:51:46,719 --> 01:51:50,800 um a lot of concrete a lot of time and 2456 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,520 it's already August so what we need is 2457 01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:56,679 if we place the concrete in October and 2458 01:51:56,679 --> 01:52:00,280 then somehow we get ice in November um 2459 01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:03,000 and we have anyone put any kind of ice 2460 01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:06,480 Mount down we would have to go out and 2461 01:52:06,480 --> 01:52:09,079 almost police it because you need a 2462 01:52:09,079 --> 01:52:11,800 minimum of 30 days and then it also gets 2463 01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:14,679 into the back and forth of if something 2464 01:52:14,679 --> 01:52:16,440 were to happen like sping which has 2465 01:52:16,440 --> 01:52:18,440 happen on rare occasions on some 2466 01:52:18,440 --> 01:52:21,320 projects um it comes into a he said he 2467 01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:24,520 said uh is is it the concrete or is it 2468 01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,400 the salt and then we go back and forth 2469 01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:29,880 uh on that so I really don't want to get 2470 01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:31,639 into an entertaining where we have even 2471 01:52:31,639 --> 01:52:33,719 the question of that I really want to 2472 01:52:33,719 --> 01:52:35,400 make sure that the concrete sets up for 2473 01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:38,280 30 days um we just did talk with the 2474 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:39,800 contractor today this would be a 2475 01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:41,679 subcontractor so he's reaching out to 2476 01:52:41,679 --> 01:52:43,719 the subcontractor this week to see what 2477 01:52:43,719 --> 01:52:47,040 he can do also it's a lot of curbing 2478 01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:48,719 it's an incredible amount of Curbing and 2479 01:52:48,719 --> 01:52:50,159 as you recall last year there was a 2480 01:52:50,159 --> 01:52:53,679 curbing shortage now that has eased up 2481 01:52:53,679 --> 01:52:56,079 so there may be but this is a given the 2482 01:52:56,079 --> 01:52:57,679 islands and that the street would be 2483 01:52:57,679 --> 01:53:00,560 complete May over a lot of curving 2484 01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:04,199 so I mean we want to push but at the 2485 01:53:04,199 --> 01:53:06,159 same time we don't want to cut our nose 2486 01:53:06,159 --> 01:53:08,599 to fite our face and push just to get 2487 01:53:08,599 --> 01:53:12,360 half done and then have complaints uh 2488 01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:13,920 that there could be an issue or you know 2489 01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:15,239 somebody you know what's going to happen 2490 01:53:15,239 --> 01:53:17,040 is someone is going to put out some type 2491 01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:18,760 of a ro rock salt thinking it's not a 2492 01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:21,880 rock salt and there could be an issue so 2493 01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:23,440 uh to void that but I know that we said 2494 01:53:23,440 --> 01:53:24,599 we're going to try to get it done this 2495 01:53:24,599 --> 01:53:26,199 year I'm not trying to make excuses but 2496 01:53:26,199 --> 01:53:27,960 the timing is what it is it's it's 2497 01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:30,199 August and this is a very large 2498 01:53:30,199 --> 01:53:32,000 project there's also there's also 2499 01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:33,320 drainage involved I just want to make 2500 01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:35,119 sure you're aware of that we are this is 2501 01:53:35,119 --> 01:53:37,960 not this is a big project we're putting 2502 01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:39,719 in all new catch basins we're redoing 2503 01:53:39,719 --> 01:53:41,440 some of the drainage we're putting in 2504 01:53:41,440 --> 01:53:43,440 parking we're putting in new you know 2505 01:53:43,440 --> 01:53:45,639 subbase where there currently is grass 2506 01:53:45,639 --> 01:53:48,320 so it's a large project it's much larger 2507 01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:50,960 than the past um sidewalk assessment 2508 01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:52,679 projects that we've done in the city 2509 01:53:52,679 --> 01:53:54,679 this is more of a street reconstruction 2510 01:53:54,679 --> 01:53:57,199 so that's why timeing if we were to do 2511 01:53:57,199 --> 01:53:59,560 half it would most likely be the side 2512 01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:01,239 without the parking cuz we feel like 2513 01:54:01,239 --> 01:54:05,199 that side would be quicker um and so 2514 01:54:05,199 --> 01:54:06,639 there could be a benefit to doing that 2515 01:54:06,639 --> 01:54:08,840 but I just need to make sure that the 2516 01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:14,310 sidewalk is in in enough time to cure 2517 01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,400 inside so what would that be your 2518 01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:19,239 recommendation to do half of it on the 2519 01:54:19,239 --> 01:54:20,840 side without the parking so that you 2520 01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:23,920 have something there this year 2521 01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:26,440 that's probably not my recommendation I 2522 01:54:26,440 --> 01:54:28,560 don't think to disturb everyone and go 2523 01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:31,360 forward just to just to say that we did 2524 01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:33,159 it I don't know if that's good because 2525 01:54:33,159 --> 01:54:34,599 we would get half of it done and let's 2526 01:54:34,599 --> 01:54:37,400 say we're all done and out of there by 2527 01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:40,760 November 1st right all done paid uh to 2528 01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:42,800 binder course we wouldn't be top course 2529 01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:44,960 so I mean even saying that out loud 2530 01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:46,199 right that would mean that if we put the 2531 01:54:46,199 --> 01:54:48,960 curb in there we're an inch lower so our 2532 01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:51,119 1in curber Beals now are 2 in at 2533 01:54:51,119 --> 01:54:52,360 driveway so I'm going to get complet 2534 01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:54,440 complains about my driveway is too steep 2535 01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:56,199 you know there's a lot that could could 2536 01:54:56,199 --> 01:54:58,040 go in and I don't know about the economy 2537 01:54:58,040 --> 01:55:00,400 you know like we waited for Kings Road 2538 01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:03,440 Bridge until the end of winter so that 2539 01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:04,960 we could start and get it done in one 2540 01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,079 season instead of starting and shutting 2541 01:55:07,079 --> 01:55:10,320 down and starting again so I would I 2542 01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,440 would probably recommend that we just 2543 01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:14,239 get it all done in one but I'll wait to 2544 01:55:14,239 --> 01:55:15,760 hear back from the contractor you know I 2545 01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:18,040 see you guys every 2 weeks I can report 2546 01:55:18,040 --> 01:55:20,040 back to you at the next time but we just 2547 01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:21,760 talked with them today I can see what 2548 01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:23,800 their sub contractor schedu is but I 2549 01:55:23,800 --> 01:55:26,119 don't think there's any I don't think 2550 01:55:26,119 --> 01:55:27,960 there's any right now C that has the 2551 01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:32,599 entire Street done by November 1st I 2552 01:55:32,599 --> 01:55:34,440 just think it's too much of a project 2553 01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:37,040 and we remember we have to do contracts 2554 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:39,000 and bonds and there you know there's a 2555 01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:41,000 lot of leg work after you after you 2556 01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:44,800 approve it as well so does is there any 2557 01:55:44,800 --> 01:55:47,199 consideration to have multiple um 2558 01:55:47,199 --> 01:55:50,400 contractor subcontractor for this 2559 01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:53,679 project um is that possible 2560 01:55:53,679 --> 01:55:56,199 possibly to push it I I could see if we 2561 01:55:56,199 --> 01:55:58,159 really want to if that's something that 2562 01:55:58,159 --> 01:56:00,400 you want to look at is to see if I could 2563 01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:01,679 you know said that we want to get this 2564 01:56:01,679 --> 01:56:03,280 done by a certain timeline and see what 2565 01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:05,599 they say 2566 01:56:05,599 --> 01:56:08,760 sure I I think you should consider 2567 01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:13,430 that as an option 2568 01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:15,960 okay does that in facted the Integrity 2569 01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:18,119 of the project by have that many hands 2570 01:56:18,119 --> 01:56:20,719 and that close to a 2571 01:56:20,719 --> 01:56:22,679 space well I would have to make sure 2572 01:56:22,679 --> 01:56:24,639 they're all subs the issue that I would 2573 01:56:24,639 --> 01:56:26,880 have feel like that it would do is that 2574 01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:28,480 if we were to push and ask them to put 2575 01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,280 extra labor to set a deadline that I 2576 01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:32,400 didn't state in the bid you know we said 2577 01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:34,639 that you had 120 days to complete the 2578 01:56:34,639 --> 01:56:36,960 project um not that you had to get it 2579 01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:41,800 done by October 1st um so if we were to 2580 01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:48,719 do that you know inevitably what is the saying is you know cheap quick or uh 2581 01:56:48,719 --> 01:56:50,960 you know cheap quick or good so I'm 2582 01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:53,239 going to tell you if we we put a 60-day 2583 01:56:53,239 --> 01:56:54,599 deadline on this it's not going to be 2584 01:56:54,599 --> 01:56:55,960 any cheaper they're going to come back 2585 01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:57,679 with us for some kind of a change order 2586 01:56:57,679 --> 01:57:01,320 which I could come to the table and talk 2587 01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,040 about and and once again every there are 2588 01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:06,360 jobs committed for these contractors 2589 01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:08,360 We're Not The Only Game in Town doing 2590 01:57:08,360 --> 01:57:09,520 construction this is something that 2591 01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:12,679 they're putting on their agenda um if 2592 01:57:12,679 --> 01:57:16,119 you'd like I know I could reach out to 2593 01:57:16,119 --> 01:57:18,040 the second or third and and find out but 2594 01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:19,800 that just delays the award and I don't 2595 01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:21,280 know how that works with purchasing 2596 01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:22,960 about you know setting a deadline that 2597 01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:24,880 wasn't necessarily in the contract they 2598 01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:28,950 said that they can do in 120 2599 01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:32,760 days yes it's just worth having to make 2600 01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:34,639 you said just ask the question see what 2601 01:57:34,639 --> 01:57:37,320 feedback you get you know um but I can 2602 01:57:37,320 --> 01:57:39,280 get information before next Monday I 2603 01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:40,639 would 2604 01:57:40,639 --> 01:57:43,719 I your judg get the 2605 01:57:43,719 --> 01:57:46,920 information so um so I I I would also 2606 01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:48,400 have concerns if we had too many hands 2607 01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:50,520 in the pot that we you know that 2608 01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:51,880 concerned about the Integrity of the 2609 01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:52,880 project 2610 01:57:52,880 --> 01:57:54,480 and if it's rushed because we're saying 2611 01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:55,880 to them you have to have by now I want 2612 01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:57,719 to make sure that we're getting quality 2613 01:57:57,719 --> 01:57:59,159 projects that's going to last for years 2614 01:57:59,159 --> 01:58:00,239 and 2615 01:58:00,239 --> 01:58:02,199 not that's the complication with 2616 01:58:02,199 --> 01:58:03,440 projects like this too is that the 2617 01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:05,440 homeowners put money out of their own 2618 01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:07,599 Pockets into these projects I know tax 2619 01:58:07,599 --> 01:58:09,280 dollars are everybody's pocket money but 2620 01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:11,960 this is a little bit more close to home 2621 01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:15,760 so on these projects they are a little 2622 01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:18,079 bit more of a pain um because everyone 2623 01:58:18,079 --> 01:58:19,599 is a little bit more involved and there 2624 01:58:19,599 --> 01:58:25,669 is a lot of uh community invol ment 2625 01:58:25,679 --> 01:58:29,159 so a deadline to get it done the entire 2626 01:58:29,159 --> 01:58:31,880 project this year makes a tough project 2627 01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:34,119 harder but it's not to say it makes it 2628 01:58:34,119 --> 01:58:36,239 impossible this is also not my only 2629 01:58:36,239 --> 01:58:37,679 project 2630 01:58:37,679 --> 01:58:40,440 so cuz right now you're asking us to 2631 01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:43,040 just go ahead and award this tonight 2632 01:58:43,040 --> 01:58:44,920 however if you're looking at Subs then 2633 01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:48,040 we wouldn't be able to do that 2634 01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:50,520 no 2635 01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:53,639 substitute so so should we should we 2636 01:58:53,639 --> 01:58:55,480 hold off on this until you come back to 2637 01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:57,239 us for two 2638 01:58:57,239 --> 01:59:00,440 weeks the longer we wait the real thing 2639 01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:02,239 is to award the 2640 01:59:02,239 --> 01:59:05,280 contract have Chris meet with the 2641 01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:07,719 contractor and go over the timeline and 2642 01:59:07,719 --> 01:59:08,880 maybe things that are going to move 2643 01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:10,840 faster than some of the assumptions are 2644 01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:12,920 or it's just what the reality of the 2645 01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:16,239 project is so does it get done this year 2646 01:59:16,239 --> 01:59:19,679 does it move till next year I would yeah 2647 01:59:19,679 --> 01:59:22,480 I would move forward as right now let me 2648 01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:24,119 try to get you some information before 2649 01:59:24,119 --> 01:59:26,119 Monday and then if you don't want to 2650 01:59:26,119 --> 01:59:27,639 vote on it Monday that's your 2651 01:59:27,639 --> 01:59:29,679 prerogative to not vote on it Monday and 2652 01:59:29,679 --> 01:59:32,199 we can go to another step you know and 2653 01:59:32,199 --> 01:59:37,719 see what else we have here but just to not would delay us two more weeks to 2654 01:59:37,719 --> 01:59:39,159 get us and we're talking about trying to 2655 01:59:39,159 --> 01:59:41,199 save 2656 01:59:41,199 --> 01:59:47,159 time okay all right and motion so second

02:00:18,280 --> 02:00:21,480 another uh family that came forth and 2669 02:00:21,480 --> 02:00:22,599 wanted 2670 02:00:22,599 --> 02:00:26,639 um us to include and recognize um their 2671 02:00:26,639 --> 02:00:28,880 family member who was also a large 2672 02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:31,440 contributor um to the success of you 2673 02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:34,960 know set establishment and also had some 2674 02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:38,040 um pretty significant uh impact on the 2675 02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:41,280 surrounding Community as well um 2676 02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:43,960 received emails um from 2677 02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:46,199 people asking us about this I just 2678 02:00:46,199 --> 02:00:47,280 wanted to kind of bring this a 2679 02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:50,400 discussion on um I receiv the email 2680 02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:52,800 today and I guess you know I would share 2681 02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:58,000 my thoughts with the um for us to uh 2682 02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,159 stay the course that uh we were moving 2683 02:01:00,159 --> 02:01:03,320 forward on um but renaming it um I think 2684 02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:05,960 that there's other options um I mean 2685 02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:07,119 again if you think about it it's kind of 2686 02:01:07,119 --> 02:01:08,599 a good problem to have right that we 2687 02:01:08,599 --> 02:01:10,360 have people who have contributed so much 2688 02:01:10,360 --> 02:01:13,000 to our community um and we should look 2689 02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:14,679 for as many opportunities as we possibly 2690 02:01:14,679 --> 02:01:17,800 can to celebrate them and their uh 2691 02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:23,040 achievements and contributions so my uh thought would be um you know working 2692 02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:27,400 with uh the family to find um a a 2693 02:01:27,400 --> 02:01:31,480 separate and um way of kind to to to 2694 02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:33,040 support and celebrate the contributions 2695 02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:35,159 that uh the family member had that's 2696 02:01:35,159 --> 02:01:39,520 what I was thinking that's support so um 2697 02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:40,840 as you stated that you know we had a 2698 02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:42,400 public hearing and another family came 2699 02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:45,880 forward and then we received um emails 2700 02:01:45,880 --> 02:01:49,079 and also feedback from from others 2701 02:01:49,079 --> 02:01:52,679 including um Mr M I spoke about so so 2702 02:01:52,679 --> 02:01:54,040 there were three things that were 2703 02:01:54,040 --> 02:01:56,159 presented so I'll just put those out 2704 02:01:56,159 --> 02:01:58,280 there that um could be considered 2705 02:01:58,280 --> 02:02:00,599 obviously the very first one um keeping 2706 02:02:00,599 --> 02:02:04,639 at Luigi blae and then having a sign or 2707 02:02:04,639 --> 02:02:06,639 some I don't even know what you call 2708 02:02:06,639 --> 02:02:08,480 them similar to the one that they just 2709 02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:10,760 did at the baseball field down behind 2710 02:02:10,760 --> 02:02:13,000 the college uh where it just kind of 2711 02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:14,679 outlines the whole history and obviously 2712 02:02:14,679 --> 02:02:16,840 within that history it would be the name 2713 02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:22,360 of the um the owner after um Mr is this 2714 02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:27,199 last name Luigi or first luig luig first 2715 02:02:27,199 --> 02:02:30,520 name okay so um that was the one one of 2716 02:02:30,520 --> 02:02:33,520 the options the other option was to keep 2717 02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:35,560 the street name exactly the same Barrett 2718 02:02:35,560 --> 02:02:38,520 Lane Barrett Village Lane and to have 2719 02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:40,920 two cere ceremonial signs under it one 2720 02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:42,800 saying you know one with each name 2721 02:02:42,800 --> 02:02:45,320 that's been brought forward and then the 2722 02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:48,000 third option was to just call it Luigi's 2723 02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:50,320 Lane which then really named it after 2724 02:02:50,320 --> 02:02:52,000 the restaurant and not the IND 2725 02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:56,400 individual those were the three that um 2726 02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:59,360 suggestions that were given to 2727 02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:01,079 me 2728 02:03:01,079 --> 02:03:04,360 I what I'd like to see again I don't 2729 02:03:04,360 --> 02:03:06,679 think I don't think we want to end up 2730 02:03:06,679 --> 02:03:10,800 taking away from the initial uh action 2731 02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:12,159 course that we were taking because I 2732 02:03:12,159 --> 02:03:15,599 think that uh this gentleman um deserves 2733 02:03:15,599 --> 02:03:18,800 the recognition and and its 2734 02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:22,560 entirety so I I mean I would think that 2735 02:03:22,560 --> 02:03:25,280 another kind of um I I guess plaque um 2736 02:03:25,280 --> 02:03:26,440 that which you were talking about that 2737 02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:28,880 was on the um ConEd Community College 2738 02:03:28,880 --> 02:03:31,119 schools and I to which is a beautiful 2739 02:03:31,119 --> 02:03:34,280 thing I think that you know um find 2740 02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:38,069 finding a way to 2741 02:03:38,079 --> 02:03:41,560 uh to celebrate um both individuals 2742 02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:43,199 without taking away for one I think is 2743 02:03:43,199 --> 02:03:45,960 that that's really the the best course 2744 02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:48,760 of action but I definitely welcome 2745 02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:49,880 council 2746 02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:52,280 member I I agree with you 2747 02:03:52,280 --> 02:03:54,239 um I've been thinking about this and 2748 02:03:54,239 --> 02:03:57,119 mulling over actually the three pretty 2749 02:03:57,119 --> 02:03:59,199 much the three things that you said um 2750 02:03:59,199 --> 02:04:01,559 Miss pfield and I do think moving 2751 02:04:01,559 --> 02:04:03,159 forward with the original course of 2752 02:04:03,159 --> 02:04:06,199 action is the way to go and the idea of 2753 02:04:06,199 --> 02:04:08,480 in some other way recognizing I mean 2754 02:04:08,480 --> 02:04:10,079 there might be other people as well that 2755 02:04:10,079 --> 02:04:12,800 might have worked um at the restaurant 2756 02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:15,920 uh as long as for a length of time uh 2757 02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:17,920 similar to the other the other person 2758 02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:20,440 that whose family came forward so I I 2759 02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:22,280 agree with Mr Farley on this 2760 02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:25,960 and I think it's also not I'm sorry I 2761 02:04:25,960 --> 02:04:29,000 just oh probably not appropriate I just 2762 02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:30,360 wanted to point one thing out cuz I've 2763 02:04:30,360 --> 02:04:31,400 been talking with the family I just 2764 02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:32,480 wanted to make sure I know that they're 2765 02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:33,639 not supposed to speak is that the 2766 02:04:33,639 --> 02:04:35,679 original idea to your point was it was 2767 02:04:35,679 --> 02:04:37,679 Luigi the person not Luigi's the 2768 02:04:37,679 --> 02:04:38,960 restaurant I know we're all clear on 2769 02:04:38,960 --> 02:04:41,679 that and even though it predated me uh 2770 02:04:41,679 --> 02:04:43,239 from these restaurants from talking with 2771 02:04:43,239 --> 02:04:44,639 the community and even talking with Gary 2772 02:04:44,639 --> 02:04:45,920 in my office and I'm sure some of you 2773 02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,719 might remember the the reason of the 2774 02:04:48,719 --> 02:04:51,320 push with the IG G's with the apost S 2775 02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:53,119 possi not being the best and going to 2776 02:04:53,119 --> 02:04:55,719 something more um educational like some 2777 02:04:55,719 --> 02:04:58,040 kind of a plaque was that according to 2778 02:04:58,040 --> 02:04:59,280 the people I talked to that grew up in 2779 02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:01,079 that area there were multiple 2780 02:05:01,079 --> 02:05:02,760 restaurants that were next to each other 2781 02:05:02,760 --> 02:05:05,760 possibly a Stella's and Luigi's and a 2782 02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:08,880 third and I just if we go down that road 2783 02:05:08,880 --> 02:05:11,760 of the sign and being for a restaurant 2784 02:05:11,760 --> 02:05:13,199 when there were many restaurants that 2785 02:05:13,199 --> 02:05:14,800 probably are very close to people and 2786 02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:16,920 not the person I think you're opening 2787 02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:19,559 yourselves up to just a larger 2788 02:05:19,559 --> 02:05:22,040 interpretation whereas we could stick 2789 02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:24,880 with it is about a person not a place 2790 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:27,400 and that the signs could be about the 2791 02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:29,440 place and I think it's not a terrible 2792 02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:33,719 idea just because that area is newer it 2793 02:05:33,719 --> 02:05:34,920 does not really fit in with the 2794 02:05:34,920 --> 02:05:36,079 character of the street even though it's 2795 02:05:36,079 --> 02:05:38,159 moose connect as we call it living concy 2796 02:05:38,159 --> 02:05:39,639 but something there to talk about the 2797 02:05:39,639 --> 02:05:42,559 old SKC might be worthwhile to do and 2798 02:05:42,559 --> 02:05:44,119 set some kind of standard for the rest 2799 02:05:44,119 --> 02:05:45,480 of the area I just wanted to make sure 2800 02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:47,079 that got pointed out because a couple 2801 02:05:47,079 --> 02:05:48,760 people came up to me and said you know 2802 02:05:48,760 --> 02:05:50,320 there were multiple restaurants there 2803 02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:52,360 even though when I went to the wees 2804 02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:54,440 there weren't because I can't date 2805 02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:55,840 myself but we're talking about something 2806 02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:58,480 that started in the ' 50s so I just 2807 02:05:58,480 --> 02:06:01,639 wanted to make sure I pointed that 2808 02:06:01,639 --> 02:06:05,520 out yes so I think to to Mr as well this 2809 02:06:05,520 --> 02:06:07,920 is about this is about a person and the 2810 02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:09,599 contribution is not necessarily a place 2811 02:06:09,599 --> 02:06:11,119 I think the place is part of the larger 2812 02:06:11,119 --> 02:06:15,239 story um and and you know uh family 2813 02:06:15,239 --> 02:06:18,280 members have reached out and um and have 2814 02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:20,639 even said that you know that Miss 2815 02:06:20,639 --> 02:06:23,960 marleene Hill um has made significant uh 2816 02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:26,280 contributions and they would love to see 2817 02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:29,840 um her her honor in her own right um so 2818 02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:32,760 I would again my my suggestion would be 2819 02:06:32,760 --> 02:06:35,840 we move forward um as plan and work with 2820 02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:37,639 the family of marlin Hill for something 2821 02:06:37,639 --> 02:06:40,000 that's going to be um acceptable for 2822 02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:41,559 them and to broader Community to 2823 02:06:41,559 --> 02:06:44,639 celebrate her accomplishments as 2824 02:06:44,639 --> 02:06:48,229 well anyone 2825 02:06:48,239 --> 02:06:53,119 else I'm oh I'm sorry 2826 02:06:53,119 --> 02:06:55,639 I like that that plan I remember mother 2827 02:06:55,639 --> 02:06:58,320 phoh being one of those restaurants that 2828 02:06:58,320 --> 02:07:04,629 used to go thean 2829 02:07:04,639 --> 02:07:08,119 and those owners had almost equal time 2830 02:07:08,119 --> 02:07:11,199 it was Luigi Hill came in and ran One 2831 02:07:11,199 --> 02:07:13,719 restaurant for a longer period of 2832 02:07:13,719 --> 02:07:16,639 time when when Luigi's long than the 2833 02:07:16,639 --> 02:07:17,719 other 2834 02:07:17,719 --> 02:07:21,559 two Mama Pharaoh's and Mama bianes and 2835 02:07:21,559 --> 02:07:25,320 Luigi's were like the three anchors 2836 02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,079 there they're about the same amount of 2837 02:07:28,079 --> 02:07:30,040 time oh 2838 02:07:30,040 --> 02:07:33,119 okay so again it seems like we have uh 2839 02:07:33,119 --> 02:07:35,079 again these are good quote unquote 2840 02:07:35,079 --> 02:07:36,400 problems to have I think that we should 2841 02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:38,520 be looking any way we can to celebrate 2842 02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:40,000 how the contributions of the people that 2843 02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:41,880 live here so I think that's what we'll 2844 02:07:41,880 --> 02:07:43,920 do um is there any 2845 02:07:43,920 --> 02:07:46,679 other thoughts on 2846 02:07:46,679 --> 02:07:49,639 that uh to your point I think it's it's 2847 02:07:49,639 --> 02:07:51,280 a beautiful thing and we can make sure 2848 02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:53,079 we capture the history throughout our 2849 02:07:53,079 --> 02:07:55,000 community which is very very vast and 2850 02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:57,360 identify ways to make sure as the Next 2851 02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:58,880 Generation comes about those items are 2852 02:07:58,880 --> 02:08:01,040 not forgotten um I don't think there's 2853 02:08:01,040 --> 02:08:02,480 any need to repeat any in the comments 2854 02:08:02,480 --> 02:08:04,679 which I do agree just want to add that c 2855 02:08:04,679 --> 02:08:06,719 as 2856 02:08:06,719 --> 02:08:08,679 well 2857 02:08:08,679 --> 02:08:12,119 okay yeah I suggested that we co-name 2858 02:08:12,119 --> 02:08:14,679 the street to recognize both individual 2859 02:08:14,679 --> 02:08:16,880 who had made significant contribution to 2860 02:08:16,880 --> 02:08:19,199 that block that street but I mean if 2861 02:08:19,199 --> 02:08:20,559 majority of the comment like to move 2862 02:08:20,559 --> 02:08:22,840 forward and respect your recommendation 2863 02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:25,119 to move forward with what we have for 2864 02:08:25,119 --> 02:08:30,800 the Luigi's Luigi um reaming but at the 2865 02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:33,760 same time I welcome that suggestion to 2866 02:08:33,760 --> 02:08:37,040 Let's honor the other individual also 2867 02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:38,679 because both have made significant 2868 02:08:38,679 --> 02:08:40,320 contribution here based on the 2869 02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:42,760 information that we have in front of us 2870 02:08:42,760 --> 02:08:45,239 so we can move forward one and then at 2871 02:08:45,239 --> 02:08:46,760 the same time pick up the pace and 2872 02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:49,520 trying to recognize the other individual 2873 02:08:49,520 --> 02:08:53,119 in a short distance time 2874 02:08:53,119 --> 02:08:55,480 so in terms of moving forward with the 2875 02:08:55,480 --> 02:08:57,119 um the other family and talking about 2876 02:08:57,119 --> 02:08:58,719 what I'm going to call a historic marker 2877 02:08:58,719 --> 02:09:00,520 that's going be on 2878 02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:02,800 okay um I just want to make sure that we 2879 02:09:02,800 --> 02:09:07,599 do that as you know sometimes um you 2880 02:09:07,599 --> 02:09:09,520 know things get lost and SAU but then my 2881 02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:12,280 other question is generally 2882 02:09:12,280 --> 02:09:15,040 who is that something cost we absorb 2883 02:09:15,040 --> 02:09:16,880 mayor if we're renaming a street do we 2884 02:09:16,880 --> 02:09:18,320 just do the new street sign that's all 2885 02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:22,149 us on us 2886 02:09:22,159 --> 02:09:24,559 and the responsibility is to the cities 2887 02:09:24,559 --> 02:09:26,480 to do it if somebody would like to make 2888 02:09:26,480 --> 02:09:29,520 a donation on that behalf I of course we 2889 02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:32,920 not turn that down yes and how about a 2890 02:09:32,920 --> 02:09:35,440 historic marker if we did that would be 2891 02:09:35,440 --> 02:09:38,760 the similar I just one to mix find out 2892 02:09:38,760 --> 02:09:43,270 where the how the cost would be 2893 02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:45,920 covered I move 2894 02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:49,400 this second those in favor 2895 02:09:49,400 --> 02:09:54,679 I okay next time we city code chapter 28 2896 02:09:54,679 --> 02:09:57,559 second 29 standing committee president P 2897 02:09:57,559 --> 02:09:59,880 thank you um so our standing committees 2898 02:09:59,880 --> 02:10:01,880 aren't committees that meet on a regular 2899 02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:04,119 basis ideally if we would then we'd have 2900 02:10:04,119 --> 02:10:05,199 more discussion at the standing 2901 02:10:05,199 --> 02:10:06,119 committees than the Committees would 2902 02:10:06,119 --> 02:10:09,440 bring to the council um but that has not 2903 02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:11,520 necessarily been the case however we did 2904 02:10:11,520 --> 02:10:13,559 recently have a u meeting of the 2905 02:10:13,559 --> 02:10:15,520 standing committee and there were there 2906 02:10:15,520 --> 02:10:17,199 was some discussion on how committee 2907 02:10:17,199 --> 02:10:19,520 reports were handled so what I provided 2908 02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:23,280 for the council is um chapter 28 um 2909 02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:27,440 sections 27- 29 about how a f committee 2910 02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:30,719 should operate and so you all have that 2911 02:10:30,719 --> 02:10:34,559 and the specific conversation was around 2912 02:10:34,559 --> 02:10:36,800 um uh section 2913 02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,639 28-28 which is the Quorum and reports of 2914 02:10:39,639 --> 02:10:42,199 the committee and it states that two 2915 02:10:42,199 --> 02:10:44,000 committee members shall ACC to the quum 2916 02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:45,840 and reports of the committee shall be in 2917 02:10:45,840 --> 02:10:48,360 writing and shall not be received unless 2918 02:10:48,360 --> 02:10:52,239 signed by at least two members so 2919 02:10:52,239 --> 02:10:55,840 um I mentioned that to the chair of that 2920 02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,119 particular committee and there was some 2921 02:10:58,119 --> 02:11:00,000 discussion as whether or not that was 2922 02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:01,599 correct my understanding is I wasn't 2923 02:11:01,599 --> 02:11:03,079 there but it was recorded and publicly 2924 02:11:03,079 --> 02:11:04,840 so I want to publicly have this 2925 02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:11,239 discussion that um if whoever said that being me um based on the code you 2926 02:11:11,239 --> 02:11:12,599 know is not a person that needs to have 2927 02:11:12,599 --> 02:11:16,079 a seat at tables is what was said so um 2928 02:11:16,079 --> 02:11:18,000 I don't take well I guess I do take 2929 02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:19,480 exception to that but I just want to be 2930 02:11:19,480 --> 02:11:21,320 clear that any information that I 2931 02:11:21,320 --> 02:11:22,719 provide to the council I'm getting it 2932 02:11:22,719 --> 02:11:23,960 directly from the code it's not 2933 02:11:23,960 --> 02:11:26,040 something I'm making up or applying to 2934 02:11:26,040 --> 02:11:28,800 one individual or one committee that is 2935 02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:31,400 not apply to other committees so I just 2936 02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:33,760 wanted to make sure that everyone um had 2937 02:11:33,760 --> 02:11:35,400 this in front of them and knew that that 2938 02:11:35,400 --> 02:11:37,040 is something that's actually in the code 2939 02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:39,199 it's not something that I'm asking for 2940 02:11:39,199 --> 02:11:41,599 as a council president because it's my 2941 02:11:41,599 --> 02:11:43,840 um my purview or my desire but it's 2942 02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:46,440 actually in the city code so you know 2943 02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:48,239 again that discussion take took place 2944 02:11:48,239 --> 02:11:50,239 publicly and was recorded So I just want 2945 02:11:50,239 --> 02:11:51,960 to make sure that it's public on record 2946 02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:53,840 that this is a part of the city code in 2947 02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:56,119 terms of those things being en wred for 2948 02:11:56,119 --> 02:11:57,559 the standing 2949 02:11:57,559 -->

02:12:24,360 did give an oral report and then that 2961 02:12:24,360 --> 02:12:25,480 report would be in writing and then 2962 02:12:25,480 --> 02:12:27,480 turned in whatever was reported would be 2963 02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:30,360 then turned in to um the cl's office 2964 02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:32,960 just going by the code yes well actually 2965 02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:34,880 um just for some clarification further 2966 02:12:34,880 --> 02:12:37,079 then because I've now asked for um a 2967 02:12:37,079 --> 02:12:38,719 written report to come from the city 2968 02:12:38,719 --> 02:12:41,000 clerk's office of the minutes minutes 2969 02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:42,760 were taken at the meeting and that was 2970 02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:44,679 what I was then when I received that 2971 02:12:44,679 --> 02:12:46,559 I'll go to the other two committee 2972 02:12:46,559 --> 02:12:49,840 members um and ask them to you know 2973 02:12:49,840 --> 02:12:52,000 hopefully we'll sign off on

report should be the oral report 2977 02:12:57,400 --> 02:12:59,360 that you gave it should should reflect 2978 02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:00,719 report that you gave now you submitting 2979 02:13:00,719

reduced the minutes and then for 2983 02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:14,920 those minutes to be formalized it took 2984 02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:17,000 the signature of at least two city 2985 02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:19,599 council members who were in attendance 2986 02:13:19,599 --> 02:13:22,040 if three members are there and all three 2987 02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:24,280 would sign the 2988 02:13:24,280 -->

in a committee meeting 2994 02:13:37,719 --> 02:13:39,960 right now well I meant I mean a 2995 02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:42,199 sub a standing 2996 02:13:42,199 --> 02:13:44,520 committee Parks and Recreation is a 2997 02:13:44,520 --> 02:13:52,599 standing Comm right so yes is the expectation for the 2998 02:13:52,599 --> 02:13:55,040 city clerk to be present at all 2999 02:13:55,040 --> 02:13:57,360 committee meetings including standing 3000 02:13:57,360 --> 02:13:59,280 committees I know that there would the 3001 02:13:59,280 --> 02:14:01,800 deputy clerk was at the last meeting so 3002 02:14:01,800 --> 02:14:04,239 again something that we have 3003 02:14:04,239 --> 02:14:06,480 done so here we 3004 02:14:06,480 --> 02:14:08,840 are oh so the deputy clerk was not 3005

why there's there's a 3011 02:14:22,239 --> 02:14:24,920 controversy around it so but it seem to 3012 02:14:24,920 --> 02:14:28,189 have been at the meeting but I wasn't 3013 02:14:28,199 --> 02:14:30,800 present so everyone's pretty clear 3014 02:14:30,800 --> 02:14:32,599 moving forward on that any questions 3015 02:14:32,599 --> 02:14:35,040 comments on 3016 02:14:35,040 -->

discussion of Charter divisions 3020 02:14:44,079 --> 02:14:46,880 president P thank you um the mayor 3021 02:14:46,880 --> 02:14:49,079 brought forward about the CH revisions 3022 02:14:49,079 --> 02:14:51,800 based on um section 3023 02:14:51,800 --> 02:14:55,320 6 C excuse me c 6-8 regarding the 3024 02:14:55,320 --> 02:14:57,079 operating budget at our um last 3025 02:14:57,079 --> 02:14:59,079 committee meeting and there was um 3026 02:14:59,079 --> 02:15:01,599 discussion that was proposed to change 3027 02:15:01,599 --> 02:15:03,599 it only um that was submitted through 3028 02:15:03,599 --> 02:15:05,000 the law department on behalf of the 3029 02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:07,280 mayor only to look at that but during 3030 02:15:07,280 --> 02:15:08,800 the discussion it was noted that there 3031 02:15:08,800 --> 02:15:10,320 were other revisions in the charter that 3032 02:15:10,320 --> 02:15:12,360 maybe needed to happen and that we 3033 02:15:12,360 --> 02:15:15,199 should take a comprehensive look um at 3034 02:15:15,199 --> 02:15:17,520 that so what I provided for you and I 3035 02:15:17,520 --> 02:15:20,280 agree with that so um what I provided 3036 02:15:20,280 --> 02:15:23,239 for you is we talked a little bit about 3037 02:15:23,239 --> 02:15:25,960 the um the methods of revising the 3038 02:15:25,960 --> 02:15:29,520 charter so starting on well the page 3039 02:15:29,520 --> 02:15:31,000 number overlaps so it's going to be hard 3040 02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:36,159 for you to see but one two three like on 3041 02:15:36,159 --> 02:15:38,920 the back of the third third page in it 3042 02:15:38,920 --> 02:15:40,920 starts with approaches to Charter 3043 02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:43,119 revisions um talks about revision by 3044 02:15:43,119 --> 02:15:45,800 commission Charter rision by initi 3045 02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:48,040 initiate initiative and referendum and 3046 02:15:48,040 --> 02:15:51,040 direct legislation so um I thought we 3047 02:15:51,040 --> 02:15:52,760 need to have start having the discussion 3048 02:15:52,760 --> 02:15:54,320 as we're going to be looking at the 3049 02:15:54,320 --> 02:15:56,800 charter not uh in my opinion I don't 3050 02:15:56,800 --> 02:15:58,480 know if the entire Charter certainly 3051 02:15:58,480 --> 02:16:00,239 needs to be 3052 02:16:00,239 --> 02:16:03,480 um revised but the parts that do that we 3053 02:16:03,480 --> 02:16:05,320 do it in a comprehensive way so that we 3054 02:16:05,320 --> 02:16:06,520 just move through all those things 3055 02:16:06,520 --> 02:16:08,800 forward at one time so I'm bringing 3056 02:16:08,800 --> 02:16:10,840 forward the um guidelines that I 3057 02:16:10,840 --> 02:16:12,880 received from New York State on how this 3058 02:16:12,880 --> 02:16:15,430 is 3059 02:16:15,440 --> 02:16:18,480 done so I'm opening that up for discuss 3060 02:16:18,480 --> 02:16:21,559 yeah I'm opening up for discussion 3061 02:16:21,559 --> 02:16:24,679 any questions or comments 3062 02:16:24,679 --> 02:16:28,040 on Yeah question um I'd like to ask 3063 02:16:28,040 --> 02:16:30,239 Council um whether we could still move 3064 02:16:30,239 --> 02:16:33,439 forward with looking at the one piece of 3065 02:16:33,439 --> 02:16:35,719 Charter revision that actually had a 3066 02:16:35,719 --> 02:16:38,800 time it definitely had sort of a timing 3067 02:16:38,800 --> 02:16:40,599 kind of thing um although it wouldn't 3068 02:16:40,599 --> 02:16:43,200 affect us it was pling to affect the 3069 02:16:43,200 --> 02:16:46,760 2026 budget right not the 2025 Bud 3070 02:16:46,760 --> 02:16:49,080 discussions but it's still bumping up 3071 02:16:49,080 --> 02:16:51,920 against some time periods so I just if 3072 02:16:51,920 --> 02:16:53,080 you want to have a public hearing you 3073 02:16:53,080 --> 02:17:00,830 can do it next week calling for and 3074 02:17:00,840 --> 02:17:04,000 then maybe voting it on the 19th but I 3075 02:17:04,000 --> 02:17:06,639 think that's cutting close but we can 3076 02:17:06,639 --> 02:17:09,280 look at that um because then it would 3077 02:17:09,280 --> 02:17:10,840 have to go to 3078 02:17:10,840 --> 02:17:14,200 the mayor after us and then he has to 3079 02:17:14,200 --> 02:17:17,479 give notice for his public hearing M 3080 02:17:17,479 --> 02:17:20,160 which has to be 5 days M and then he has 3081 02:17:20,160 --> 02:17:21,760 to make a decision 3082 02:17:21,760 --> 02:17:24,559 if he accepts it then it's September 5th 3083 02:17:24,559 --> 02:17:27,399 I mean we're getting September 3rd I 3084 02:17:27,399 --> 02:17:29,559 think we're looking at Tuesday and the 3085 02:17:29,559 --> 02:17:31,800 3D so it's 3086 02:17:31,800 --> 02:17:35,679 getting getting close particular in 3087 02:17:35,679 --> 02:17:39,240 regarding this particular the council 3088 02:17:39,240 --> 02:17:40,240 wishes 3089 02:17:40,240 --> 02:17:43,200 to put anything on the ballot this fall 3090 02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:44,719 for no 3091 02:17:44,719 --> 02:17:47,080 okay based on the last I'm sorry but 3092 02:17:47,080 --> 02:17:50,960 based on the last time that you told us that that that wasn't even 3093 02:17:50,960 --> 02:17:53,280 possibility well it's because what you 3094 02:17:53,280 --> 02:17:55,920 do is once again you're dealing with a 3095 02:17:55,920 --> 02:17:57,439 local law and putting it on the 3096 02:17:57,439 --> 02:18:01,479 referendum and it would still be uh time 3097 02:18:01,479 --> 02:18:03,359 periods that we're talking about and 3098 02:18:03,359 --> 02:18:05,080 then you would have to put a commission 3099 02:18:05,080 --> 02:18:07,880 together which you know and what what of 3100 02:18:07,880 --> 02:18:10,679 the if it's if it's created by the 3101 02:18:10,679 --> 02:18:13,200 legislature then you have to indicate 3102 02:18:13,200 --> 02:18:16,880 how you wish to have that body who's 3103 02:18:16,880 --> 02:18:18,280 going to be the chairman count of 3104 02:18:18,280 --> 02:18:20,519 members how they were appointed Etc so 3105 02:18:20,519 --> 02:18:23,760 that's in a in a process or is under the 3106 02:18:23,760 --> 02:18:25,319 mayor 3107 02:18:25,319 --> 02:18:29,240 oral part of the municipal home rule law 3108 02:18:29,240 --> 02:18:31,960 it already States how you know how many 3109 02:18:31,960 --> 02:18:33,399 you know the members and how it's 3110 02:18:33,399 --> 02:18:35,479 appointed and it's mayoral appointments 3111 02:18:35,479 --> 02:18:38,240 Etc whereas if it's created via the 3112 02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:40,639 legislature commission it's it's much 3113 02:18:40,639 --> 02:18:43,359 more you have to develop the rules and 3114 02:18:43,359 --> 02:18:46,240 how many members and how you you know 3115 02:18:46,240 --> 02:18:48,599 what their terms are etc etc so it's a 3116 02:18:48,599 --> 02:18:50,880 little bit more involved especially 3117 02:18:50,880 --> 02:18:53,439 we're talking about the time FR 3118 02:18:53,439 --> 02:18:56,669 involved 3119 02:18:56,679 --> 02:18:59,840 so but that is from what I looked at um 3120 02:18:59,840 --> 02:19:03,519 in what we were sent um we could ask the 3121 02:19:03,519 --> 02:19:04,960 mayor to put together the charter 3122 02:19:04,960 --> 02:19:08,319 commission if we wanted to look at the 3123 02:19:08,319 --> 02:19:11,200 whole Charter but it seemed to me that 3124 02:19:11,200 --> 02:19:13,200 we still I guess I'm just asking the 3125 02:19:13,200 --> 02:19:15,920 question because of the timing aspect of 3126 02:19:15,920 --> 02:19:19,080 the one particular thing that came to us 3127 02:19:19,080 --> 02:19:21,240 regarding that November one 3128 02:19:21,240 --> 02:19:24,040 you know the budget discussion and and 3129 02:19:24,040 --> 02:19:26,000 whether we decide on the budget by 3130 02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:29,000 November one or not I I guess I'm I'm 3131 02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:30,800 asking can we still do both of those 3132 02:19:30,800 --> 02:19:33,399 things we could Mo with the one 3133 02:19:33,399 --> 02:19:36,120 discussion which is more time you know 3134 02:19:36,120 --> 02:19:38,000 you could always do I mean if you want 3135 02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:39,800 to have a discussion about creating a 3136 02:19:39,800 --> 02:19:41,160 Comm condition that's still going to be 3137 02:19:41,160 --> 02:19:43,800 a bobal law but then that has to go 3138 02:19:43,800 --> 02:19:46,359 before the voters by the 60th day so in 3139 02:19:46,359 --> 02:19:47,720 other 3140 02:19:47,720 --> 02:19:52,520 words you're you're to put that together 3141 02:19:52,520 --> 02:19:55,439 um the composition of such commission 3142 02:19:55,439 --> 02:19:57,520 you know how you're going to do it the 3143 02:19:57,520 --> 02:19:59,399 providing the method tring a number of 3144 02:19:59,399 --> 02:20:00,880 members you know whether they're going 3145 02:20:00,880 --> 02:20:02,399 to be appointed how they're going to be 3146 02:20:02,399 --> 02:20:05,120 appointed etc those are those are things 3147 02:20:05,120 --> 02:20:08,080 that you you as the city council if they 3148 02:20:08,080 --> 02:20:10,439 decide if you decide to create a 3149 02:20:10,439 --> 02:20:14,200 commission you would have to do do those 3150 02:20:14,200 --> 02:20:17,680 parameters whereas you under the mayor 3151 02:20:17,680 --> 02:20:21,640 system under a mayor of any City 3152 02:20:21,640 --> 02:20:25,200 um it's the law spells it out much more 3153 02:20:25,200 --> 02:20:27,840 precisely such a commission cons consist 3154 02:20:27,840 --> 02:20:30,640 of not less than nine no more than 15 3155 02:20:30,640 --> 02:20:32,240 members all of whom shall be residents 3156 02:20:32,240 --> 02:20:34,080 of the City original appointments to the 3157 02:20:34,080 --> 02:20:35,600 commission shall be made by a mayor 3158 02:20:35,600 --> 02:20:38,000 there certificate appointment and the 3159 02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:41,399 mayor shall commit you know appoint the 3160 02:20:41,399 --> 02:20:43,399 chairman Vice chairman 3161 02:20:43,399 --> 02:20:46,120 secretary and that any membership 3162 02:20:46,120 --> 02:20:49,080 vacancy of such commission is is filled 3163 02:20:49,080 --> 02:20:52,680 by the mayor so you can see whereas 3164 02:20:52,680 --> 02:20:55,200 that's dealing with a mayoral Commission 3165 02:20:55,200 --> 02:20:58,520 on a charter commission whereas in the 3166 02:20:58,520 --> 02:21:00,200 city 3167 02:21:00,200 --> 02:21:04,760 um the composition may also SP but um 3168 02:21:04,760 --> 02:21:06,319 but you would have to 3169 02:21:06,319 --> 02:21:09,160 really 3170 02:21:09,160 --> 02:21:11,920 um fix the method to determine the 3171 02:21:11,920 --> 02:21:15,240 number of the members of such commit so 3172 02:21:15,240 --> 02:21:16,520 you have more 3173 02:21:16,520 --> 02:21:19,479 latitude by having more latitude you 3174 02:21:19,479 --> 02:21:20,920 going to take a little bit more time how 3175 02:21:20,920 --> 02:21:23,640 you want to have that 3176 02:21:23,640 --> 02:21:27,359 structure now you 3177 02:21:27,359 --> 02:21:32,830 can you 3178 02:21:32,840 --> 02:21:35,760 can so you can you can May adopt the 3179 02:21:35,760 --> 02:21:38,479 legislative body you uh May adopt a 3180 02:21:38,479 --> 02:21:40,280 local law for the establishment of the 3181 02:21:40,280 --> 02:21:43,200 commission to draft a new or revise City 3182 02:21:43,200 --> 02:21:48,000 Charter and uh you can do that you and 3183 02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:51,720 uh in in in the shorter or simplified 3184 02:21:51,720 --> 02:21:53,280 but it does still you would still have 3185 02:21:53,280 --> 02:21:54,960 to deal with the creation of a 3186 02:21:54,960 --> 02:21:57,399 commission you can submit to the 3187 02:21:57,399 --> 02:21:59,920 electors of such City you know shall 3188 02:21:59,920 --> 02:22:01,560 there be a commission to draft a newer 3189 02:22:01,560 --> 02:22:04,160 Revis in the charter as a proposed by 3190 02:22:04,160 --> 02:22:06,760 local Law whatever so you can put it to 3191 02:22:06,760 --> 02:22:09,520 the voters shall we have a a a charter 3192 02:22:09,520 --> 02:22:13,359 commission but that doesn't okay yes or 3193 02:22:13,359 --> 02:22:16,680 no I mean you it's still you would still 3194 02:22:16,680 --> 02:22:18,520 have to at some point deal with the 3195 02:22:18,520 --> 02:22:25,230 issue of creating such a commission 3196 02:22:25,240 --> 02:22:26,399 thought 3197 02:22:26,399 --> 02:22:29,160 questions so my my point again was just 3198 02:22:29,160 --> 02:22:30,760 to bring It Forward because you know it 3199 02:22:30,760 --> 02:22:33,560 did come and um I will say that I was 3200 02:22:33,560 --> 02:22:35,080 what was presented to us I was not in 3201 02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:37,080 agreement with but I don't disagree that 3202 02:22:37,080 --> 02:22:39,240 we do need to do something I don't see 3203 02:22:39,240 --> 02:22:42,040 us doing it in time for this Bud uh this 3204 02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:44,560 um election season frankly um but I 3205 02:22:44,560 --> 02:22:46,520 don't want the conversation to die 3206 02:22:46,520 --> 02:22:48,880 either and if it's going to take a while 3207 02:22:48,880 --> 02:22:51,000 as it seems like it is and with been yes 3208 02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:52,680 ideal to start this conversation earlier 3209 02:22:52,680 --> 02:22:56,080 in the year however we didn't and um so 3210 02:22:56,080 --> 02:22:57,600 how do we move forward to make sure that 3211 02:22:57,600 --> 02:23:01,800 we don't but this is just go not go 3212 02:23:01,800 --> 02:23:03,920 forward and in terms of the budget I 3213 02:23:03,920 --> 02:23:06,280 think Mr mudaron um kind of spoke to 3214 02:23:06,280 --> 02:23:08,439 that the last time is that we just you 3215 02:23:08,439 --> 02:23:10,160 know we just have we weren't this would 3216 02:23:10,160 --> 02:23:13,680 not have been um in time for this year's 3217 02:23:13,680 --> 02:23:17,600 budget period but that we have to work 3218 02:23:17,600 --> 02:23:20,000 together and have conversations perhaps 3219 02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:21,960 with the chair of finance and the mayor 3220 02:23:21,960 --> 02:23:23,720 and the president ahead of time so that 3221 02:23:23,720 --> 02:23:25,120 we can make sure that we're having those 3222 02:23:25,120 --> 02:23:26,880 conversations and having agreements as 3223 02:23:26,880 --> 02:23:29,000 we move forward we don't want to happen 3224 02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:31,240 what we had let happen last year however 3225 02:23:31,240 --> 02:23:33,600 I think that it's possible that just it 3226 02:23:33,600 --> 02:23:35,160 doesn't have to happen we just have to 3227 02:23:35,160 --> 02:23:38,160 be all open to communicating and making 3228 02:23:38,160 --> 02:23:40,120 sure that it doesn't and and everyone 3229 02:23:40,120 --> 02:23:41,680 coming to the table 3230 02:23:41,680 --> 02:23:44,960 um with their concerns ideas and you 3231 02:23:44,960 --> 02:23:49,279 know input in the budget so 3232 02:23:49,279 --> 02:23:52,990 absolutely no I say 3233 02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:57,429 absolutely those your comments on 3234 02:23:57,439 --> 02:24:02,800 that okay any action on that so uh this 3235 02:24:02,800 --> 02:24:07,120 anything motion to go operations 3236 02:24:07,120 --> 02:24:35,429 so second all in favor I 3237 02:24:35,439 --> 02:24:38,300 look 3238 02:24:38,300 --> 02:24:50,550 [Music] 3239 02:24:50,560 --> 02:24:51,650 so 3240 02:24:51,650 --> 02:25:06,379 [Music]
