66
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:29,670
going to be for next year

67
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,760
the general fund will have a

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,879
appropriation measure of 18 million 33

69
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:36,799
730

70
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:39,319
the overall budget will be 39 million

71
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:43,599
348 720

72
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:45,120
thank you

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,120
and i think that says a lot uh and i

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,959
think i mentioned it last time we talked

75
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:50,799
about this that

76
00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:52,959
our budget is 39 million dollars which

77
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:54,959
is a lot of money

78
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:55,760
but

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080
a few years back it was 42 million

80
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,280
dollars

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,480
so what that

82
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,000
shows us is that

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,080
the administration and the department

84
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,120
heads

85
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,280
along with the assistance of council has

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,120
trimmed back the budget

87
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000
we actually are operating

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720
at a high efficiency for less money than

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,639
we did just a few years ago and i think

90
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:18,239
that's a testament

91
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:20,479
to our administration that uh sitting up

92
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:22,880

93
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,479

over the last three budget cycles we

126
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,800
have kind of pushed it by to the wayside

127
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,560
we're looking at it now and it's

128
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
something that we can fund um and we

129
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,560
wanted to try to get this through by the

130
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,039
end of the year as we can

131
00:05:57,039 --> 00:05:59,360
anticipate based on the vendor that

132
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,360
these prices will go up

133
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520

138
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,160
less than what the current one is

139
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,759
so i wanted to mention that but our

140
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,560

00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,400

00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,720
but this is a token and i can vote them

196
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,880

197
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880
that amount as well

198
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,829
okay

199
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,440
yeah um

200
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,220
hi everyone

201
00:09:03,220 --> 00:09:05,839
[Music]

202
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:07,839
you know

203
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:11,040
a thousand dollars is a lot of money and

204
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,800
a thousand dollars is very small no

205
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,920
longer

206
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,440
um

207
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,470
we have

208
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,480
over 100

209
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120
people that live in our neighborhood

210
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,800
that we cater to

211
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,519
bring them a hot meal every day

212
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:30,240
monday through friday and this year

213
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,680
because of

214
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,839
a little more generous donations

215
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:38,000
we've been able to extend that to six

216
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,600
days a week

217
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,480
so

218
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,720
i never could understand that you

219
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,440
weren't hungry on saturday or sunday

220
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,120
you know like your hunger stops on

221
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,080
friday

222
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,120
um

223
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,720
but

224
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,560
we were able to do it this year and

225
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:53,680
that's

226
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,160
uh we've been able to expand in a lot of

227
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,880
different ways because of the generosity

228
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,200
of our neighbors

229
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,720
and the

230
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,880
terrific work

231
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,320
we have that

232
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,160
it gets your hands dirty kind of work

233
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,800
sticky in our case

234
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,560
from

235
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,079
a couple of our council people behind me

236
00:10:18,079 --> 00:10:19,519
that

237
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:22,480
show up every week

238
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,079
no fanfare

239
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:25,920
nobody gets out and claps for them but

240
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,240
they think they came because they care

241
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880
about our people

242
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,720
and that's a particularly have to

243
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,160
mention

244
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,720
vic on flew party where

245
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,519

246
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:42,160

247
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920
he thought he was gonna work one day a

248
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,230
week and it's now closer to four

249
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,760
and

250
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160
the mayor and

251
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,360
his wife

252

you're done by noon though which is kind

256
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:06,389
of an executive kind of hours

257
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,320
compared to things

258
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,160

259
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,560

00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,800
the call of duty

261
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,600

266
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,480
times a week

267
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,920
because we're always looking for

268
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,600
volunteers

269
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,910

271
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,480
tremendous amount of satisfaction

272
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,560

00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,920
with a number of different

351
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,399
departments and

352
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:17,760
they

353
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,920
weren't going to do it this year

354
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,839
however our department felt the need

355
00:15:21,839 --> 00:15:23,199
that we should

356
00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:24,959
and they decided to organize that on

357
00:15:24,959 --> 00:15:27,600
their own and they're doing it for

358
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,360
bedford children so

359
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,320
um

360
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,839
chief stumpful and our guys over there

361
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:33,839
are doing a great job and thank you to

362
00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:36,399
everybody that's donated honestly it's

363
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:38,720
it was a lot of money that came in it

364
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,440
really um it's impressive and it's

365
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,880
appreciated

366
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,350
uh

367
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,880
we do this a couple times a year where

368
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,959
we send out our auxiliaries

369
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:52,320
as well as our officers we make note of

370
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,560
various light poles that are out

371
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,560
with first energy as you know regardless

372
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,079
if they're on or off we're paying for

373
00:15:58,079 --> 00:15:59,440
those polls

374
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,360
we did send in our most recent report

375
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,680
first energy is aware of that there were

376
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,839
about 130

377
00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:10,320
that were out city wide

378
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,000
some of those are marked with the with

379
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,480
the caution tape um and obviously when

380
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,240
those repairs are made we've requested

381
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,240
that first energy remove that tape but

382
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,720
if you're wondering why that that is why

383
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,199
that tape is on some of those polls

384
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:24,800
and we'll monitor that after the first

385
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,800
of the year and and check on what

386
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,000
progress

387
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,079
they've made to our

388
00:16:30,079 --> 00:16:32,000
through our rep

389
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,279
i also wanted to acknowledge that

390
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:36,639
it seemed like there was a little bit of

391
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:38,399
an improvement

392
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:41,040
in some of the issues with the trains

393
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,040
over the last few months

394
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,639
which i remember we've had the train

395
00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:45,839
stoppage

396
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:48,800
city council passed legislation

397
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,279
and we sent that information

398
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:53,279
the ordinance

399
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:55,519
letters information to all the

400
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:57,279
appropriate parties and it did seem to

401
00:16:57,279 --> 00:16:58,560
improve

402
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,079
although two weeks ago there was an

403
00:17:00,079 --> 00:17:02,320
incident where there was a train stop

404
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,679
for a substantial amount of time

405
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:07,600
actually it was almost five hours i

406
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,839
believe based on the reports

407
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,240
blocking those tracks we had another

408
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,640
incident last week both

409
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,120
both times we responded we documented

410
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,480
accordingly

411
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,919
and the line has been billed accordingly

412
00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:24,400
with that civil penalty based on the

413
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,720
ordinance so we are working to try to to

414
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,760
try to resolve that

415
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,240
and obviously after that that billing

416
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,120
and that civil penalty goes out um we

417
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,600
anticipate communication from the rail

418
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,280
lines um

419
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,120
and obviously that's not what we wanted

420
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,440
to get to but we cannot have them

421
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,080
you know stopping at those crossings for

422
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,160
that amount of time so

423
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,760
i just wanted to share that that we're

424
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,760
aware of it we have a

425
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000
policy in place as far as how we respond

426
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,480
how we document it it's actually helpful

427
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,679
that we have our cameras in our vehicles

428
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,760
now because we've documented through

429
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,919
those uh videos

430
00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:05,600
and that references the amount of time

431
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,360
so there's video evidence of how long

432
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,720
they've been stopped we don't sit there

433
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,400
for five hours actually the ordinance

434
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,160
states that it's longer than five

435
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,799
minutes so we just basically verify that

436
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:16,799
um with the cameras

437
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:18,720
and then we move forward and we it's

438
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,880
documented and then we issued a

439
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,880
civil penalty so

440
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,559
we're trying to resolve that issue we

441
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:26,400
know it's a concern and i just wanted to

442
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,720
share with the public that working and

443
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,880
we'll continue to keep trying to address

444
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,760
that

445
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,280
uh end of report

tax department we've been working on the

00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,120

for you in the current year of 2022.

483
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,310
that's all i have this evening

484
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,240
thank you

485
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,720
mr saunders

486
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,400
two council meetings in a row i get to

487
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,360
be first

488
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:08,159
but

489
00:20:08,159 --> 00:20:13,350
that's that's good for me

490
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:15,600
we have a house on columbus road it's

491
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,520
between drinks auto and shopping center

492
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,159
as you remember uh we've complained

493
00:20:22,159 --> 00:20:23,600
about the fact that they filled their

494
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,440
tree lawn up almost every week with

495
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,799
rubbish

496
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:28,799
now they just don't take their cans back

497
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:29,919
in

498
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:32,240
they sit out there all week

499
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,880
and they've got numerous cans

500
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,039
so we need to get a hold of that

501
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:40,240
landlord and get them to start adhering

502
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,600
to

503
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,880
some of the policies that we have here

504
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,120
because columbus road is a fairly busy

505
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,840
road and it's somewhat of an entrance

506
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,080
way through the city and it it just

507
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,240
doesn't look good to have those camps

508
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,480
numerous cans sitting out there

509
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,640
all week long

510
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,600
uh

511
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,960
the other thing is

512
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,400
uh later we'll be passing ordinances on

513
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,159
condemning houses

514
00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:07,039
uh

515
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,280
one of much is in my ward 65 talbot

516
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,640
this one has been long overdue it's been

517
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,760
nothing but an eyesore it's a shame

518
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,919
that uh

519
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:21,760
every time we get to this point

520
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,320
something happens and we end up almost

521
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,120
starting over again but we will be

522
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,679
formally condemning that house so the

523
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:33,440
neighbors off of talbot and berwin area

524
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,840
we're working on it it's just taking a

525
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,360
while

526
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:38,559
and

527
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,520
i want to say i'll see you all on

528
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,440
saturday in downtown bedford for

529
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,919
christmas in bedford falls that's always

530
00:21:45,919 --> 00:21:47,760
a great event

531
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,280
and hopefully

532
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,240
we will get a good turnout and

533
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,600
i know the weather's supposed to be

534
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,840
really nice on friday i don't know about

535
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,960
saturday

536
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,600
but uh hopefully it stays put with that

537
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,720
too

538
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,240
uh another issue that we're having is on

539
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,720
the upper end the logan by blaine

540
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,200
we have i think it's the duplexes the

541
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,600
new people that have moved in over there

542
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,520
they parked their car on the street

543
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,240
basically in front of beauty's place

544
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,320
and there's some days where two three

545
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,640
days they haven't moved

546
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,120
so we may want to put some special

547
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:24,960
attention over there

548
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,720
that uh they're not allowed to park

549
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,159
overnight in that area there's

550
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:32,640
two cars specifically that seem to be

551
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,280
parked there all the time

552
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,480
and

553
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,039
we need to

554
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:41,200
that's a dangerous intersection to begin

555
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,400
with

556
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,159
and you come around the corner and

557
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:46,799
there's the park cars all the time

558
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:50,320
and one other quick note uh

559
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,840
i know there's been on social media talk

560
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,080
about sewer rate increases

561
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,880
and uh bedford's increasing their rates

562
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,400
four percent

563
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,480
just want everybody to know that if

564
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,400
you've got regional sewer good luck

565
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,159
because theirs is going at the 18

566
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:10,880
percent summit counties raising their 16

567
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,039
and this is for the next several years

568
00:23:13,039 --> 00:23:14,799
for theirs so

569
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:16,880
a four percent we're trying to keep it

570
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,520
to a minimum uh

571
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,640
and unfortunately as you are well aware

572
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,880
costs have gone up everywhere

573
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,760
so uh we aren't raising the water rate

574
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,559
this year but uh the sword rate has to

575
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:32,559
go up so

576
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:35,280

you're on a fixed income a little bit of

579
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,080
money it can be a lot of money but uh

580
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,320
we have to maintain the system

581
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,000
and uh

582
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,840

00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:52,640
they're getting huge increases

585
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,240

592
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,159
up there we get each other's backs

593
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:13,520
we always have each other's backs

594
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,679
someone needs a sub or something

595
00:24:15,679 --> 00:24:18,080
and i wish i could wish me and bob could

596
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,400
do five days a week instead of three but

597
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,039
uh eventually maybe we'll get there it's

598
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:24,799
so rewarding you get to know the people

599
00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:25,760
we do

600
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,320
through different routes so we're

601
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,279
we've seen people different people those

602
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:33,840
three days monday thursday and friday

603
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,520
and you just get to know them and they

604
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,039
they're waiting at the door for you and

605
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,919
they're so happy and so sometimes you do

606
00:24:39,919 --> 00:24:41,200
sit there and chat with them a little

607
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,960
bit then you got to remember you have

608
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,480
somebody that's waiting for their bill

609
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,360
behind them and so it's just very

610
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:49,600
rewarding and just such a great team up

611
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,760

congressional residents out there um and

622
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,919
me about when we had the water main

623
00:25:13,919 --> 00:25:16,080
breaks we of course we had a guest

624
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,279
flying out there and stuff um

625
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:21,520
they did come back out i had called you

626
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,159
because they had filled in the hole with

627
00:25:24,159 --> 00:25:26,720
the gravel and stuff and i called mike

628
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,640
because my car kind of went in a little

629
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,440
bit

630
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,760
um i saw they did get out there and fix

631
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,840
that did you check in you said you was

632
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,080
going to check in for me to see are they

633
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,600
once the last time because i know it's

634
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,120
been a long time that

635
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,880
that thing has been completely redone

636
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880
yeah i don't have the exact year when

637
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,640
that water line was completely redone

638
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,799
but i actually met with

639
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:48,720
our superintendent from the water

640
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,640
department and i'll have a detailed

641
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,159
report on

642
00:25:52,159 --> 00:25:55,760
a number of different things that we've

643
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,840
that we put together from this year from

644
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,760
hydrant replacements to how many breaks

645
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,200
we've had

646
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,520
to a capital program as far as where we

647
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,240
need to focus on line replacements

648
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,919
so there are some areas of town

649
00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:10,400
obviously that that is one area of town

650
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,159
that we're looking at there's another

651
00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:14,400
area of town up on the hill that we're

652
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,440
looking at um it seems that on occasions

653
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,279
where we've had some of our most recent

654
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:20,880
breaks it's been on

655
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,559
in those areas

656
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,039
so we also have a inquiry out to

657
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:27,440
cleveland water as far as you know

658
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,440
pressure increases and things like that

659
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,440
when they adjust those so there's a lot

660
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,520
more data that we have to put together

661
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,240
but we are looking at that area um as

662
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,840
far as when i don't have the exact year

663
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,960
when that was um how old that is but

664
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,559
once i get all of that additional

665
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,559

nothing you can do to stop litter bugs

695
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,919
but she can undo their actions by

696
00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:45,520
picking up litter

697
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,240

well i i just have to say that

727
00:28:46,399 --> 00:28:48,320
meals on wheels is absolutely a

728
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,039
wonderful organization and it's it's

729
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:52,720
just

730
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,990
really touching

731
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,760
we have lived in a place where

732
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,520
we've been able to

733
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,070
take food for granted for uh

734
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,799
for me most of my lifetime but now

735
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:10,840
things are changing in the world

736
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,799
and

737
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:15,360
talk of food security and food

738
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,440
sovereignty or big issues now that we'll

739
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,360
be hearing more and more of as time goes

740
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,200
on and i just want to thank

741
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,000
china of course and all the volunteers

742
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
but but also the city of bedford that

743
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,320
has done quite a bit to you know do what

744
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,799
they can to feed uh feed the people in

745
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:35,200
our community and uh the local churches

746
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,760
too it's a big deal it's uh food is

747
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,440
something we take for granted and it's

748
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,760
unfortunate because i can tell you it's

749
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,230
not easy to make it and

750
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,520
we don't

751
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,000
recognize how difficult it is not only

752
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,760
to make food but

753
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,279
how

754
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:54,720
precarious

755
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,320
the

756
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,039
supplies are and how it comes from the

757
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:02,480
supply lines which we're beginning to

758
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,480
become more and more aware of and i just

759
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,399
think the meal center also is just a

760
00:30:06,399 --> 00:30:08,799
wonderful organization so that's the end

gnomes on their own so what they did was

868
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,480
they hit 10 different gnomes in 10

869
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,360
different store windows downtown and if

870
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,840
you go and find at least five of them

871
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,799
and you email your entry into

872
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:05,760
uh

873
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,840
i didn't write down the address but it's

874
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,520

so go down there check out the gnomes i

878
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,879
guess if you can get all 10 of them you

879
00:34:20,879 --> 00:34:23,040
get an extra chance so good luck there

880
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,760
um de pompe's is having their ugly

884
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,919
um

885
00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:38,960
mike there was uh had some residents

886
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,760
concerned about a large pole that was

887
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,040
put up on lamson uh near east

888
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,800
east grace

889
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,639
so we're under the understanding that

890
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,280
that's that's first energy's pulled

891
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,399
and they're going to be using it there's

892
00:34:52,399 --> 00:34:54,800
some kind of a signal up on top of it

893
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,119
and what happens i guess is when the it

894
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:59,200
transmits signals other switching to the

895
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,359
switching yard which should help reduce

896
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:03,760
the impact during power outages

897
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,520
something like that correct yes correct

898
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160
so um i believe that is the only one

899
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,960
that's going up in bedford um it's part

900
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,839
of a federal mandate that first energy

901
00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:16,160
is under they're going to be going up up

902
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,200
around

903
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,079
all over the area

904
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,960
they're large what it does is

905
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,280
um first energy part of this mandate

906
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,760
they're really working to upgrade their

907
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,000
their grid all together and how it

908
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,599
communicates

909
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:33,200
councilman mentioned

910
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,240
that

911
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:35,760
these switching yards when there's a

912
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,880
power outage these things these towers

913
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,880
communicate with one another they'll

914
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,040
open and close switches where if there's

915
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:48,560
a power outages by them utilizing this

916
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,200
technology they can reduce the amount of

917
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,079
individuals impacted by a power outage

918
00:35:54,079 --> 00:35:56,000
and thus they can get

919
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,599
they can get power turned back on

920
00:35:57,599 --> 00:35:58,720
quicker

921
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:00,960
it is first energy's pull it is their

922
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,160
right to install those um i believe what

923
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,119
i found out the next closest one is

924
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:09,440
um on walton road

925
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,240
right near along the hills city hall

926
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,200
there's one put up there

927
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,200
they're just starting to go around it

928
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,359
it's a tall pool it's a tall

929
00:36:19,359 --> 00:36:20,800
and at first

930
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,400
i was concerned there's been a lot of

931
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,880
discussion over the previous years about

932
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,280
small cell towers going up

933
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,200
to communicate you know everything we

934
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,440
live our lives on these

935
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,839
and data and everything is data driven

936
00:36:35,839 --> 00:36:38,160
and especially when it comes to vehicles

937
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,160
a lot of these vehicles the self-driving

938
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,560
vehicles they're all going to rely on

939
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,520
data which is a huge push to start

940
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,599
installing all of these small cell

941
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:50,320
towers around at the time i thought

942
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,320
that this was one of them

943
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,440
and we have very specific ordinances

944
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,680
law director montello worked with a

945
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,000
number of other law directors throughout

946
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,839
northeast ohio

947
00:37:01,839 --> 00:37:04,880
on drafting this small small cell tower

948
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,800
legislation

949
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200
to prohibit in certain areas

950
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,440
you know they gotta they gotta

951
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,359
submit applications so there's a lot

952
00:37:13,359 --> 00:37:15,200
that goes into that i was concerned that

953
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,480
it was that

954
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,320
but it wasn't our rep got back to us

955
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,800
right away um they're permitted to do it

956
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,320
i believe that's the only one going up

957
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,440
in town

958
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,920
i'm waiting for them to verify that

959
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,720
but it ultimately is

960
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:31,760
i forget the term they use but it's uh

961
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,000
on

962
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,079
i'm sorry i don't have it off the top of

963
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,800
my head but there's a term and it's um

964
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,400
it's basically new technology that

965
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,400
they're using to limit the amount of

966
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,880
people impacted by power outages and

967
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,320
these towers will communicate with one

968
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,359
another

969
00:37:47,359 --> 00:37:49,599
sorry for that long drawn out

970
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:53,200
but if you see it it's huge it's huge

971
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,160

the policy we've uh

1026
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:06,880
worked on this in regards to what gfoa

1027
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,480
recommends it's your government finance

1028
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,560
officers association

1029
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,560
and also with our

1030
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,400
approval of basically the auditor's

1031
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,640
office and so forth we've looked at our

1032
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,200
thresholds of what we record for fixed

1033
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,599
assets versus what we do for insurance

1034
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:23,839
we still record insurance levels at a

1035
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:25,440
lot lower level but we're going to raise

1036
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,680
our minimums for financial reporting

1037
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,599
from 2500 per asset to 5 000 and we're

1038
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:33,119
also going to be looking at the new

1039
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:35,440
aggregation rules and

1040
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,480
of accounting that we have abide by and

1041
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,480
that will be when we buy things in

1042
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,640
aggregate such as like 10 computers at a

1043
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:43,520
time

1044
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,560
those if they exceed 10 000

1045
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,359
and

1046
00:40:47,359 --> 00:40:49,359
we will then be booking those as assets

1047
00:40:49,359 --> 00:40:51,119
as well there's a couple other rules and

1048
00:40:51,119 --> 00:40:52,880
regulation changes in here and years and

1049
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,720
things like that but what we'd like the

1050
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:56,400
council to do is approve this so that we

1051
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,680

1052
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,119
with a retro

1053
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:02,720
and we'll have it for this year as well

1054
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:04,560
as for next year

1055
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,510

i might address this in the next yeah

1076
00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:00,560
i'll touch on all three there's three

1077
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,670
properties as

1078
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,280
councilman saunders mentioned earlier

1079
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,880
that we've been trying to

1080
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,680
uh work with property owners or in some

1081
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,160
cases they've been abandoned

1082
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,599
we

1083
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:15,440
usually partner with the land bank where

1084
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,400
we can

1085
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,240
one of these properties the land bank

1086
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:20,160
did have on their radar and they were

1087
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,400
working with us to try to

1088
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,200
address it and get it cleaned up

1089
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,880
we start looking at obviously if there's

1090
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,560
tax issues that's where they really can

1091
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:29,680
help

1092
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,480
we've gotten really no movement from the

1093
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,680
property owners or

1094
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,319
individuals only owning the home

1095
00:42:38,319 --> 00:42:39,760
or

1096
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,839
in control of the home if it's in

1097
00:42:42,839 --> 00:42:46,240
a trust or whatnot so this is actually

1098
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,720
actually our first step that we take it

1099
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:52,000
allows us to then communicate with the

1100
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,480
property owner and try to further push

1101
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,920
this along to try to get these

1102
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,680
properties cleaned up

1103
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,079
in some cases they've been abandoned

1104
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:01,440
two of these

1105
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,800

1108
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,109

1242
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,400
our recommendation is that the city

1244
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:41,280
it mirrors the last

1245
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,359
the first two contracts

1246
00:48:43,359 --> 00:48:45,599
as far as health care

1247
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:46,800
changes

1248
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,480
moving to an eight percent of the

1249
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,240
premium costs

1250
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:54,160
and then obviously there's

1251
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,480
it matches the

1252
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,559
wage increase over the next three years

1253
00:48:58,559 --> 00:49:00,880
which is six and a half percent

1254
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,040
two percent retroactive

1255
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,000
