[7:47] chair Metroplex and the County Planning
[7:49] commissioner also proud resident of sken
[7:52] the city of Sky uh the Restore New York
[7:55] program it's a great Innovative State
[7:58] program that helps restore large
[8:01] structures that are vacant or in some
[8:04] cases uh prepare them for demolition
[8:07] these are structures that really have a
[8:10] major impact on their communities um
[8:13] we're very proud to tell you we've won a
[8:15] number of these Restore New York grants
[8:17] and use them for projects like Mohawk
[8:19] Harbor the Redevelopment of the ALCO
[8:21] site right now the the wedgeway building
[8:24] at the corner State Erie where the city
[8:26] played such a pivotal role and tonight
[8:29] we're asking for your support as we move
[8:32] forward with an application to obtain a
[8:35] $1.5 million Restore New York Grant to
[8:38] help renovate a nearly 400,000 SQ foot
[8:42] building the former St cla's hospital
[8:44] it's really an ideal application for
[8:47] ReStore New York again Restore New York
[8:49] is about restoring major structures that
[8:53] are vacant and putting them back into
[8:56] productive use helping to revitalize the
[8:59] local economy you couldn't ask for a
[9:01] better example than MOA Harbor than
[9:03] wedgeway and now the former St Clair is
[9:06] building and we have a dream team of of
[9:08] developers uh Chris sparen whose family
[9:11] has been operating a major uh
[9:15] contracting company and development
[9:17] company in sky for more than a hundred
[9:18] years and Jeff bule who
[9:21] is really the the most prominent now of
[9:25] local developers with a tremendous track
[9:27] record in the capital region and Upstate
[9:29] New York have come together to form a
[9:32] partnership and have the hospital under
[9:34] contract Ellis is very supportive of
[9:37] this uh they no longer had a need for
[9:39] the facility the idea is to restore this
[9:42] get this grant funding put other
[9:44] resources together and rehabilitate this
[9:47] vacant hospital to something that is
[9:50] going to be very productive and uh
[9:52] helpful to skty and also for the first
[9:55] time since the hospital was built in
[9:57] 1949 put the building back back on the
[9:59] tax rols and generate tax revenue for
[10:02] the city the county and the school
[10:04] district so we're very excited to have
[10:06] the developers here tonight and uh we'd
[10:09] ask for your careful consideration of
[10:11] this uh proposal when it comes before
[10:13] you so that we can submit the
[10:15] application in December thank you thank
[10:20] you Jeff
[10:24] bule good evening uh speaking on behalf
[10:27] of my partner Chris span SKC native but
[10:30] piece of trivia I was actually born at
[10:32] St Clair so I also am a SKC native and
[10:35] now purchasing the hospital I was born
[10:37] and which is a very weird thing to do um
[10:40] very excited to be here tonight we have
[10:41] a great track record of projects in the
[10:43] city of SKC uh We've accomplished over
[10:45] five historic rehabs this will be the
[10:47] sixth uh this project is intended to
[10:50] invest about $50 million into that
[10:53] neighborhood um it will create uh if all
[10:56] things go well about 275 Apartments and
[10:59] some commercial space we would love to
[11:01] see a daycare there if anybody knows
[11:02] anybody looking for some daycare space
[11:05] um think it would be a great use for the
[11:07] neighborhood um this is a little outside
[11:09] of the norm for what we typically do
[11:11] usually the Investments we make are very
[11:13] heavily Urban uh this is obviously
[11:14] outside of a downtown and inside of a
[11:16] neighborhood and so uh I would like to
[11:19] repeat what Ray said I don't think you
[11:20] want this building going vacant for very
[11:22] long um we stand ready to move as
[11:25] quickly as possible should the funding
[11:26] be secured and uh think that it will be
[11:29] uh a very Dynamic investment
[11:33] um connecting two neighborhoods
[11:35] connecting different spaces I personally
[11:37] love it due to its proximity to
[11:39] sometimes this may be hard for you to
[11:41] believe it's hard to get disconnected
[11:43] from people who are across the river on
[11:44] the other side um but we think that this
[11:46] is a great little project to help bridge
[11:48] uh due its proximity to Route 7 and
[11:51] getting back and forth it'll be um a
[11:53] really great spot for people to commute
[11:54] to other places as well so uh we're
[11:56] excited to go if things go as planned
[11:59] um picture
[12:01] a 20 what year are we in uh 2026 2027
[12:06] finish it'll be about a two-year project
[12:08] uh two-year construction project thank
[12:10] you very much appreciate your support
[12:12] thank
[12:14] you I have no one else signed up to
[12:16] speak for public hearing number one so I
[12:18] declare this public hearing
[12:20] closed public hearing number two is
[12:22] regarding amending certain provisions of
[12:24] chapter 161 of the skincity code
[12:27] entitled garbage rep rubbish and refu I
[12:31] have two people signed up to
[12:33] speak uh the first person is Joe
[12:42] Anderson good evening members of the
[12:45] common Council and the mayor my name is
[12:48] Joe Anderson and I'm the president of
[12:50] local
[12:51] 1037 I stand before you today to address
[12:54] the matter that deeply affects our
[12:56] community specifically the proposed char
[12:59] charges for Waste bag fees for our
[13:01] residents as we all know many of our
[13:03] residents are facing significant
[13:05] financial challenges a considerable
[13:08] portion of our community relies on
[13:10] assistance to make ends meet introducing
[13:13] a fee structure that charges residents
[13:15] for Waste bags could impose a additional
[13:18] burden on those who are already
[13:20] struggling while the proposed fee for
[13:23] $2.50 per bag may seem reasonable to
[13:26] some we must consider a broad Brad the
[13:29] broader implications of such a policy
[13:33] for many families every dollar counts
[13:35] and this fee could mean the difference
[13:37] between affording basic necessities or
[13:40] not I understand that the council the
[13:43] mayor and the commissioner have raised
[13:45] valid concerns regarding the so-called
[13:47] jackpots those larger items that require
[13:50] special attention during waste
[13:53] collection we all recognize that these
[13:55] items pose a challenge for our labor
[13:57] loaders who work tires ly to keep our
[14:00] city clean and safe however however
[14:04] rather though rather than opposing those
[14:06] fees that could further straining our
[14:08] residents I urge you to explore
[14:10] alternative solutions that address these
[14:13] concerns without penalizing those who
[14:15] are already vulnerable one suggestion
[14:17] that I put forth is some residents to
[14:20] travel to City Hall to purchase stickers
[14:23] for the pickup of these larger items
[14:26] while these may seem like
[14:27] straightforward solution
[14:29] we must acknowledge that many residents
[14:31] struggle with the cost associated with
[14:33] travel not to mention time and effort
[14:36] required to navigate City
[14:38] processes this approach could
[14:41] inadvertently create barriers for those
[14:44] who need assistance the most instead I
[14:47] propose that we consider implementing a
[14:49] service called municipay offered by Auto
[14:52] agent Data Solutions LLC or a similar
[14:56] service this platform allows res
[14:59] residents to select items that they need
[15:01] picked up and paid for the service
[15:02] online by adapting the
[15:05] system we can streamline the process for
[15:08] addressing jackpots while also
[15:10] generating revenue for the city the the
[15:13] solution not only simplifies the
[15:15] experience for residents but also
[15:17] ensures that we are not placing
[15:19] additional Financial burdens on those
[15:21] who are already facing hardships
[15:24] furthermore this proposal can work in
[15:27] tandem with the mayor's budget proposal
[15:28] osal for a dollar per week or $52 per
[15:32] year increase in waste collection fees
[15:35] for non-t tax exempt properties this
[15:37] modest increase in Revenue will help
[15:39] offset the rising cost associated with
[15:42] waste collection we support this
[15:44] increase and encourage the exploration
[15:46] of those other options to enhance
[15:48] revenues and reduce costs related to
[15:51] waste collection for the city in
[15:53] conclusion I urge the council to
[15:56] reconsider the proposed waste bag fees
[15:59] and explore more Equitable solutions
[16:01] that prior prioritize the well-being of
[16:04] our residents let's work together find a
[16:06] path forward that addresses these
[16:08] challenges of waste collection while
[16:10] ensuring that our community members are
[16:12] not left behind thank you for your time
[16:14] and consideration thank
[16:18] you I have no one else signed up to
[16:21] speak for public hearing number two so I
[16:23] declare this public here I have oh okay
[16:25] all right um we do have some written
[16:27] comments with that were uh submitted
[16:30] Deputy clerk sign to speak oh okay so
[16:35] you're for both of them you want to be
[16:36] on both of them because you're on there
[16:37] twice okay so miss on the for the
[16:40] garbage okay I signed up okay go Miss
[16:43] Donan
[16:46] yeah I just put that down a little hello
[16:49] oh um yeah I'm speaking on the garbage
[16:52] issue I know it's just proposed but I
[16:55] the article in the newspaper uh like the
[16:58] speaker before for that $52 fee seems
[17:01] very reasonable to bring in extra
[17:04] Revenue but I have a few concerns uh it
[17:08] does mention there's a nuisance officer
[17:11] that would go and be responsible for
[17:15] deciding who's in violation or not and
[17:19] uh if is that person already on staff or
[17:22] is that going to be a new hire that
[17:24] would be a question um and is that
[17:28] nuisance officer U responsible then for
[17:31] collecting the fees and everything else
[17:34] that might be involved in violating the
[17:36] proposed garbage plan and the other I
[17:40] mean one thing I hope you do
[17:43] consider is that plastic bags I realize
[17:48] it might be easier to just run along and
[17:50] take you know a couple bags at a time
[17:52] and throw them in the dumpster however
[17:55] on the streets we have a a lot of
[17:57] squirrels and other their animals but
[17:59] they rip through the bags and if you go
[18:04] down the street on a day that the
[18:06] garbage is waiting to be picked up they many just get torn and then the
[18:10] garbage is on the street and that I
[18:13] would not expect the collectors to clean
[18:16] that up at all that I believe homeowners
[18:20] for what happens now but most of our
[18:22] stuff will be in the in
[18:25] cans and that was something else I had
[18:28] you would consider um a lot of it did
[18:32] say
[18:33] 5bs the one of the quotes of 5 pounds
[18:37] per day per person and I'm figuring a
[18:40] lot of households might be a four-person
[18:43] household which would be like 20 lb per
[18:46] person
[18:47] or 140 lb per week that
[18:51] one uh apartment dweller could put out
[18:55] parent two children and that's that's a
[18:58] lot of garbage being put out um and if
[19:02] it's in bags again I caution the real
[19:07] how bags can be split going from the
[19:10] regular garbage size that we have now
[19:13] probably a 30 gallon up to a 45 gallon
[19:16] even though a lot of 45 gallons are on
[19:19] Wheels but older people like me I will
[19:23] tell you navigating a 45 gallon
[19:26] container is difficult I I mean even
[19:29] though it is on Wheels and I would um
[19:32] ask that
[19:33] perhaps that be reconsidered to keep our
[19:37] I guess the 30 gallon if it weren't
[19:40] being considered what do all the
[19:43] homeowners do with all their 30 gallon
[19:46] trash cans that they have
[19:49] already and
[19:51] um um yeah that was big concern and I
[19:56] noticed in the article you prob Maybe
[19:58] the article didn't have it but um
[20:01] recycling wasn't mentioned nor were the
[20:04] leaf bags mentioned I know there's a
[20:07] short period for leaf bags but I I would
[20:11] hope that that would be continued along
[20:14] with the um the
[20:16] recycling and that those are my concerns
[20:19] I thank
[20:21] you goodbye thank you thanks thank
[20:25] you okay we do have some written
[20:28] comments that were
[20:32] submitted written Communication number
[20:35] one from Howard B HED and Melissa a
[20:38] angler an emailed an emailed letter
[20:40] requesting Council to do whatever is
[20:43] required including increasing taxes to
[20:45] continue existing level of service
[20:47] regarding trash
[20:48] pickup written comment number two from
[20:51] Harold and Debbie schneiderwind an email
[20:54] pleading to council to not Implement a
[20:57] fee schedule for trash pickup they are
[20:59] already on a limited income and live in
[21:01] a house that has been in their family
[21:03] since
[21:04] 1918 they have worn furniture and
[21:07] appliances that they will need to
[21:08] dispose of but will do so
[21:11] reasonable from foral from former
[21:14] councilman Vincent riggy um who actually
[21:17] requested his email be read and in its
[21:21] entirety his email reads Madame
[21:24] President and council members I would
[21:26] like to express my opinion on the
[21:27] proposed change in the waste disposal
[21:29] for City residents by limiting the
[21:32] amount of waste a household can place at
[21:34] the curb will lead to more litter than
[21:37] we have right now leading to more demand
[21:40] and on the more demand and on the city's
[21:42] limited resources many households like
[21:45] ours of two do not generate
[21:47] much do not generate much waste so my
[21:50] question is can we Bank the gallons of
[21:52] waste that we do not produce
[21:55] weekly if this change is adopted and we
[21:58] are allowed 91 gallons per week I think
[22:00] it would be only fair for a household to
[22:02] bank the unused weekly gallons in case
[22:04] of a household cleanup a party or in
[22:06] case of
[22:07] bellw case of bellw this past week
[22:10] having four days added to our normal
[22:12] pickup pickup due to two holidays when
[22:15] the trash fee was adopted by the city
[22:16] council 20 years ago the premise was
[22:19] sold to the council by the
[22:21] administration proclaiming that the city
[22:22] will remove anything legal by city code
[22:24] placed at the curb now for 2025
[22:27] residents will be char charge with
[22:28] higher fees and if this code changes if
[22:32] this code change is adopted we will be
[22:33] limited to the amount that we can put at
[22:35] the curb along with charges for extra
[22:38] gallons along with white pick white
[22:40] goods pickup a true example of shrink
[22:42] flation paying more and getting
[22:45] less another eological fear is people
[22:48] being over the gallon limit while
[22:49] placing their trash or white goods in
[22:51] front of other residents homes creating
[22:53] a logistical nightmare I relas I realize
[22:56] that there are chronic abusers of the
[22:58] current system but why should the
[22:59] majority of Residential Properties be
[23:01] penalized Madame President and council
[23:04] members I respectfully asked this body
[23:06] to reject the proposed code change in
[23:07] its
[23:12] entirety written comment number four
[23:15] from Albert capid dozi an email stating
[23:18] that he is in favor of additional fees
[23:19] for waste disposal for residents with
[23:22] extraordinary amounts of trash garbage
[23:24] waste Etc he also stated that the
[23:27] calculation for a waste pickup were
[23:29] incorrect 7 to 13 gallon bags of trash
[23:33] does not amount to 145 G gallon
[23:36] container of trash he does not agree
[23:38] with the idea of placing trash bags at
[23:40] the curb rather than in receptacles
[23:42] since that could lead to trash being
[23:44] blown around through the neighborhood or
[23:46] scattered by
[23:47] scavengers written comment number five
[23:49] from Deborah Montana an email stating
[23:52] that many times they have observed their
[23:54] recycling being mixed in with trash she
[23:56] asks that with the increase in the fees
[23:59] that Improvement is practice for
[24:01] healthier for a healthier environment
[24:03] and care for the
[24:05] community from buan Raman an email
[24:08] expressing his frustration with with an
[24:10] increase in taxes and additional fees
[24:11] for garbage removal he questioned the
[24:13] feasibility of tracking and weighing the
[24:15] trash made alternative recommendations
[24:18] and cited that the negative ways this
[24:20] would impact the
[24:22] community final written comment from
[24:24] Luis Gundrum an email with questions
[24:27] about logistics about the trash proposal
[24:30] she asked that the council reconsider
[24:31] The Proposal since there are no
[24:33] Equitable way to enforce since there is
[24:35] no Equitable way to enforce it
[24:37] throughout all the neighborhoods in the
[24:39] city thank you so the Commerce that were
[24:42] summarized will be available so everyone
[24:44] knows the in their entirety to the
[24:46] council members when we're discussing it
[24:48] at our next committee meeting we just

[28:29] comment
[28:31] closed this time we'll have any
[28:33] miscellaneous business of the
[28:36] council Mr
[28:45] Williams uh good evening and thank you I
[28:47] just wanted to respond to the comments
[28:48] that we've heard uh in person and also
[28:51] recorded online regarding the trust fee
[28:53] collections uh definitely with response
[28:55] to uh the uh increase of $552 a year my
[29:01] response to that is the hesitancy that I
[29:04] voiced during our budget season last
[29:06] year uh was just due to not wanting to
[29:08] attribute any higher fees without us
[29:10] evaluating other means to increase
[29:12] Revenue which is what we've done through
[29:15] a number of different um priorities and
[29:17] initiatives led by Mr moodin which I'm
[29:20] excited have offset the potentially High
[29:23] higher increasing fees that we did not
[29:25] see attributed to the taxpayers here in
[29:27] the city of SKC
[29:28] um however with response to the upcoming
[29:31] proposal uh I I know that this is going
[29:34] to be a huge adjustment and undertaking
[29:36] for our city staff uh as these
[29:38] conversations continue I just ask for
[29:40] the members of the community to remain
[29:42] uh tuned in and continue to voice your
[29:44] concerns which have not fallen on deaf
[29:46] ears I can speak for myself I've taken
[29:48] an extensive amount of notes and part of
[29:50] our conversations as these conversations
[29:53] continue and um if they are rolled out
[29:57] um is having a reporting uh period where
[30:00] we are able to assess its impact on the
[30:02] community in whatever way that it is um
[30:05] presented uh so I just ask that the
[30:07] members of the community continue to
[30:09] provide us your feedback and opinions
[30:12] and uh I I say often uh give us Grace uh
[30:15] so I know although um the intent in
[30:18] which you roll out projects and
[30:19] initiatives matters uh I just ask for
[30:22] the community to allow us the
[30:23] opportunity to as Mr Anderson
[30:25] highlighted adjust to the increasing
[30:27] cost and race and waste removal thank
[30:30] you thank you any other members of the
