[25:57] regards to the Paving this and that and

[26:01] the only one that thought to help me was

[26:03] this young

[26:04] man and uh what they did do then is

[26:07] patched in front of my house I I don't

[26:09] want my street done but like I'm

[26:12] concerned about all of wood lawn you

[26:14] know so you know I see that they started

[26:18] it but uh we got to get going with more

[26:20] stuff it's too you know we can't sit

[26:24] here and discuss things and not have

[26:26] anything resolved you know you know it

[26:29] takes time and money I know that but uh

[26:32] got to get with it but I hopefully we're

[26:34] on the right thing here but uh I'm

[26:38] grateful I just you know I'm just an

[26:41] ordinary taxpayer and our taxes that we pay pay your salaries

[26:49] so maybe everyone can take a task on and

[26:53] help the city better than we're doing we

[26:56] sit here uh two Mondays a month and

[27:00] really more should be done I'm a retiree

[27:03] from the city and I know what goes on

[27:05] and stuff but I hope things are going in

[27:08] the right

[27:09] direction and uh that's all I wanted to

[27:12] say thank you very much

[27:15] huh thank

[27:19] you um Reverend H Reverend Jim

[27:26] coming Madam president City council

[27:28] members as you may recall when arpa

[27:31] funding became available we had

[27:33] petitioned for a small pretty small

[27:36] share of that funding uh to create a

[27:39] basketball Park uh at court Park uh in a

[27:43] piece of land that is bordered by Pearl

[27:46] Street Main and Wing um and uh

[27:51] we I'm not necessarily here to talk

[27:54] about that per se but really to talk

[27:56] about the fact that that the motivation

[27:59] behind that request came from the people

[28:01] in our community it wasn't uh Pastor Jim

[28:05] coming up with something out of his

[28:07] robes uh but it was it was really came

[28:10] from uh discussions that I had with the

[28:13] young people in our neighborhood uh and

[28:16] it was also a concern for their safety

[28:19] as well because uh as I've mentioned uh

[28:22] a few times um Pearl Street is a place

[28:26] where cars whip uh they really they go

[28:28] through very quickly uh and you know a a

[28:32] Mis bounced ball and somebody running

[28:34] after it without kind of thinking and

[28:37] then tragedy occurs so you know we want

[28:40] my main concern is the safety of the

[28:42] Youth of our community and an

[28:45] opportunity for those youth uh to be

[28:47] able to do those things that the arpa

[28:49] funds were created for to pre to provide

[28:51] place of recreation physical activity uh

[28:54] and health um so with that I brought

[28:58] along with me uh a young man uh dead nut

[29:01] Singh who lives in the neighborhood uh

[29:03] dnut um he's going to have all your jobs

[29:06] one day uh he is the sharpest young man

[29:09] I have ever met and that includes myself

[29:13] uh I'm not young anymore but uh he's super sharp uh super intelligent

[29:18] and and a beautiful representative of

[29:20] his community so I'd like you to please

[29:23] listen to him uh this evening and I

[29:26] promise I did not give him words

[29:28] uh so thank you thank

[32:05] Avenue in Albany and that public hearing

[32:08] is in relation to the fact that National

[32:10] Grid is going to be raising its rates um

[32:38] are posted on social media uh one is

[32:40] about 911 and when to call 911 and I'm

[32:44] just going to quickly uh go through that

[32:46] which is when you smell smoke or see a

[32:48] fire when you witness or are the victim

[32:50] of a crime when you witness or are

[32:53] involved in a serious accident uh when

[32:55] there's an emergency illness or a

[32:57] suspected poisoning when a child senior

[33:00] citizen or handicapped person is lost

[33:03] confused frightened or needs special

[33:05] assistance these are those are

[33:07] potentially dangerous situations and the

[33:10] fire department would really like you to

[33:11] call 911 in those situations um and then

[33:15] my last thing is just that we all know

[33:17] that there's more and more um ebikes and

[33:19] E Scooters out on the street and uh we

[33:23] really you know there's some safety

[33:25] precautions regarding the the especially

[33:28] the batteries that are part of uh those

[33:31] um those vehicles um so really want

[33:34] folks that have these kinds of of

[33:37] vehicles to understand uh the safety

[33:39] regulations around the lithium batteries

[33:41] to make sure that if they're charging

[33:43] the battery that they're charging the

[33:45] battery with the appropriate uh charger

[33:47] that came with the battery if they have

[33:49] to replace the battery that they're

[33:50] replacing it with the same kind of

[33:52] battery um there's all sorts of things

[33:54] that are part of the manufacturer's

[33:55] guidelines so I just would really asked

[33:58] folks to uh pay attention to all of

[34:00] those um depending on which vehicle you

[34:04] have because uh more and more we're

[34:06] hearing about various fires that are

[34:08] being caused by these by these uh

[34:10] Vehicles if the safety precautions are

[34:12] not being uh being adhered to and that's

[34:16] it others Mr

[34:19] [Music]

[34:20] Farley thank you mad president first of

[34:22] all I want to say thank you for everyone

[34:23] that came out to speak tonight

[34:25] especially young treat uh treat when you

[34:26] see young people com to to talk to us

[34:28] helps us kind of remind of of of our why are we doing things that we're doing

[34:33] so I really greatly appreciate that um

[34:36] my thing I kind of want to just talk

[34:38] about really fast is just you know I

[34:40] know people have heard one way or

[34:42] another seen the news and just know that

[34:44] our community is in deep mourning right

[34:46] now um through the loss of life of of

[34:49] four young people and other people um

[34:52] and in in different accidents and things

[34:53] have just been happening so um I just

[34:55] want to remind everyone that this is a

[34:57] Time time for us to reflect um to be

[35:00] kind to one another to be patient to one

[35:02] another and extend each other the the grace that is needed um because

[35:06] these things happen and the Ripple

[35:08] effects go deep um and and and and

[35:11] spread reach far beyond what we

[35:12] sometimes think about from not just the

[35:14] families and friends but even to the

[35:15] First Responders who um have to respond

[35:18] to these things and then have the

[35:19] daunting task of notifying families that

[35:22] people have passed away so um just that

[35:30] with everyone to just remind that people

[35:31] are in mourning and and and you know
