1
00:04:52,942 --> 00:04:54,335
Good evening everyone.

2
00:04:54,335 --> 00:04:57,104
I hereby declare the

3
00:04:57,148 --> 00:04:58,511
New Windsor City Council meeting open for business

4
00:04:58,511 --> 00:05:00,270
on September 21,

5
00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:05,229
2026. The first

6
00:05:05,229 --> 00:05:07,367
item on our

7
00:05:07,404 --> 00:05:08,621
agenda today is the

8
00:05:08,621 --> 00:05:09,542
approval of

9
00:05:09,542 --> 00:05:10,796
the minutes of the

10
00:05:10,796 --> 00:05:12,197
August 2026 working meeting

11
00:05:12,197 --> 00:05:16,462
. You should all have

12
00:05:16,462 --> 00:05:17,563
received it

13
00:05:17,563 --> 00:05:18,721
electronically

14
00:05:18,721 --> 00:05:19,417
from the City

15
00:05:19,417 --> 00:05:21,978
Secretary-Treasurer. That being the

16
00:05:21,978 --> 00:05:23,052
case, I

17
00:05:23,052 --> 00:05:24,257
await a proposal to

18
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:25,038
adopt these

19
00:05:25,038 --> 00:05:25,689
minutes in

20
00:05:25,689 --> 00:05:28,803
writing.

21
00:05:28,803 --> 00:05:30,218
I propose to adopt

22
00:05:30,218 --> 00:05:31,442
the minutes of the working

23
00:05:31,442 --> 00:05:32,996
meeting of September 21.

24
00:05:32,996 --> 00:05:34,282
Oh, I'm sorry.

25
00:05:34,282 --> 00:05:35,633
Minutes of the working

26
00:05:35,633 --> 00:05:37,154
meeting of August 21,

27
00:05:37,154 --> 00:05:38,760
2026 in written

28
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:39,494
form.

29
00:05:39,494 --> 00:05:40,283
Okay, we have

30
00:05:40,283 --> 00:05:41,587
a proposal to adopt the

31
00:05:41,587 --> 00:05:42,686
minutes of the working

32
00:05:42,686 --> 00:05:44,022
meeting of August 21.

33
00:05:44,022 --> 00:05:45,458
Is there a second offer

34
00:05:45,458 --> 00:05:45,595
?

35
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:46,653
I support.

36
00:05:46,653 --> 00:05:47,928
We have the first and second

37
00:05:47,928 --> 00:05:48,996
proposals. Are there any

38
00:05:48,996 --> 00:05:50,277
questions about this

39
00:05:50,277 --> 00:05:51,625
protocol? Those who are "in favor",

40
00:05:51,625 --> 00:05:53,208
please say "yes".

41
00:05:53,208 --> 00:05:53,629
Yes. Are

42
00:05:53,629 --> 00:05:55,007
there any objections?

43
00:05:55,007 --> 00:05:56,233
Okay, the offer

44
00:05:56,233 --> 00:05:57,566
is accepted. The protocol

45
00:05:57,566 --> 00:05:58,273
has been entered into the

46
00:05:58,273 --> 00:06:01,912
official register. The

47
00:06:01,912 --> 00:06:02,846
next item on the

48
00:06:02,846 --> 00:06:03,843
agenda is

49
00:06:03,843 --> 00:06:05,026
approval of the

50
00:06:05,026 --> 00:06:06,054
stage rental for the event "

51
00:06:06,054 --> 00:06:10,279
Music on the Main Street".

52
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,488
Er...

53
00:06:12,488 --> 00:06:13,746
Yes, we are making changes

54
00:06:13,746 --> 00:06:15,005
for those looking

55
00:06:15,005 --> 00:06:19,046
at the agenda.

56
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:19,819
So, just a quick

57
00:06:19,819 --> 00:06:20,659
note, the

58
00:06:20,659 --> 00:06:21,869
Mid-Atlantic

59
00:06:21,869 --> 00:06:22,878
Rage organization was supposed to be here

60
00:06:22,878 --> 00:06:24,222
tonight, but

61
00:06:24,222 --> 00:06:25,432
the gentleman who

62
00:06:25,432 --> 00:06:26,542
sent the letter of

63
00:06:26,542 --> 00:06:27,550
intent has a daughter in

64
00:06:27,550 --> 00:06:28,559
the hospital, so we'll

65
00:06:28,559 --> 00:06:29,601
move it to the

66
00:06:29,601 --> 00:06:30,811
October

67
00:06:30,811 --> 00:06:36,514
council meeting. So we'll replace

68
00:06:36,514 --> 00:06:39,928
that with stage rental. Do

69
00:06:39,928 --> 00:06:42,513
you want me to read what

70
00:06:42,549 --> 00:06:43,224
Anne-Marie prepared?

71
00:06:43,224 --> 00:06:45,968
Of course, if you wish.

72
00:06:45,968 --> 00:06:47,445
So, she received a

73
00:06:47,445 --> 00:06:48,840
quote

74
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:50,359
from All Stage and Sound Inc. onto a

75
00:06:50,359 --> 00:06:51,877
12-by-24-foot stage, which is

76
00:06:51,877 --> 00:06:52,944
larger than what we

77
00:06:52,944 --> 00:06:54,216
used

78
00:06:54,216 --> 00:06:58,416
before. It will be

79
00:06:58,416 --> 00:07:00,375
slightly raised. The stage

80
00:07:00,375 --> 00:07:01,709
has a border, stairs,

81
00:07:01,709 --> 00:07:03,077
and a small step

82
00:07:03,077 --> 00:07:04,419
at the end. The cost

83
00:07:04,419 --> 00:07:05,630
includes delivery,

84
00:07:05,630 --> 00:07:07,824
installation and dismantling. I

85
00:07:07,824 --> 00:07:09,468
think she said

86
00:07:09,468 --> 00:07:11,112
they would be there at

87
00:07:11,112 --> 00:07:12,890
8:00, set up the stage

88
00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:14,623
by 10:00, and take it down

89
00:07:14,623 --> 00:07:16,090
by 7:00 and clear the

90
00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:19,379
street. The cost of this

91
00:07:19,379 --> 00:07:21,304
scene is

92
00:07:21,304 --> 00:07:24,182
$3,179. We

93
00:07:24,182 --> 00:07:26,472
discussed this at the

94
00:07:26,472 --> 00:07:27,816
Music on Main meeting

95
00:07:27,816 --> 00:07:28,906
today at 6:00 PM, and the

96
00:07:28,906 --> 00:07:30,287
council members present

97
00:07:30,287 --> 00:07:31,632
seemed to be in favor,

98
00:07:31,632 --> 00:07:32,940
so we are putting it

99
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:35,306
to a vote.

100
00:07:35,306 --> 00:07:36,763
I propose to approve.

101
00:07:36,763 --> 00:07:37,981
If it saves us

102
00:07:37,981 --> 00:07:38,956
from having to

103
00:07:38,956 --> 00:07:40,704
collect it ourselves.

104
00:07:40,704 --> 00:07:42,119
This is what Dante said

105
00:07:42,119 --> 00:07:46,469
at the press conference.

106
00:07:46,469 --> 00:07:49,303
Good. So, as you may have

107
00:07:49,303 --> 00:07:51,110
heard, All Stage &

108
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:53,063
Sound provided a quote

109
00:07:53,063 --> 00:07:54,821
or estimate for

110
00:07:54,821 --> 00:07:56,579
$3,179 for a

111
00:07:56,579 --> 00:07:58,386
12-foot by 24-foot stage

112
00:07:58,386 --> 00:08:00,291
for our 10-foot by

113
00:08:00,291 --> 00:08:03,160
20-foot tent. The stage will

114
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,267
have a skirt and

115
00:08:04,267 --> 00:08:06,249
steps. The estimate

116
00:08:06,249 --> 00:08:07,452
includes delivery,

117
00:08:07,452 --> 00:08:10,572
installation and dismantling.

118
00:08:10,572 --> 00:08:12,168
The stage will be set up by

119
00:08:12,168 --> 00:08:13,028
10:00 a.m. and

120
00:08:13,028 --> 00:08:14,339
dismantled by 7:00

121
00:08:14,339 --> 00:08:15,976
p.m. to clear

122
00:08:15,976 --> 00:08:17,328
the way for

123
00:08:17,328 --> 00:08:21,968
Main Street. So I

124
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:22,606
would like to

125
00:08:22,606 --> 00:08:23,883
propose or

126
00:08:23,883 --> 00:08:24,722
consider

127
00:08:24,722 --> 00:08:25,919
a proposal to

128
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:27,316
accept the cost of

129
00:08:27,316 --> 00:08:28,912
$3,179 for the

130
00:08:28,912 --> 00:08:34,021
rental of this stage.

131
00:08:34,021 --> 00:08:35,262
I make a motion

132
00:08:35,262 --> 00:08:36,326
to approve the rental of the

133
00:08:36,326 --> 00:08:38,029
stage in the amount of

134
00:08:38,029 --> 00:08:40,199
$3,179 $

135
00:08:40,199 --> 00:08:42,368
3,179

136
00:08:42,368 --> 00:08:44,185
$79, yes.

137
00:08:44,185 --> 00:08:44,815
dollars.

138
00:08:44,815 --> 00:08:45,791
Good. Okay,

139
00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:46,872
the motion has been made, is

140
00:08:46,872 --> 00:08:47,807
there anyone who would

141
00:08:47,807 --> 00:08:48,462
support it?

142
00:08:48,462 --> 00:08:49,470
I support.

143
00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:50,749
Certainly. Okay,

144
00:08:50,749 --> 00:08:51,841
we have a suggestion and

145
00:08:51,841 --> 00:08:52,746
support. Are there any

146
00:08:52,746 --> 00:08:53,601
questions before

147
00:08:53,601 --> 00:08:54,414
the vote?

148
00:08:54,414 --> 00:08:55,586
I have one quick

149
00:08:55,586 --> 00:08:56,564
question. Will this

150
00:08:56,564 --> 00:08:57,611
be funded from

151
00:08:57,611 --> 00:08:58,438
our

152
00:08:58,438 --> 00:08:59,512
Music on Maine budget that

153
00:08:59,512 --> 00:09:00,686
we have already approved? Is this

154
00:09:00,686 --> 00:09:01,834
still within that

155
00:09:01,834 --> 00:09:02,561
budget?

156
00:09:02,561 --> 00:09:03,660
This is a perfectly valid

157
00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:04,830
question, and we have just

158
00:09:04,830 --> 00:09:05,823
enough

159
00:09:05,823 --> 00:09:06,745
funds to

160
00:09:06,745 --> 00:09:07,917
cover it.

161
00:09:07,917 --> 00:09:10,916
Perfectly. I might

162
00:09:10,916 --> 00:09:12,102
just be kidding.

163
00:09:12,102 --> 00:09:13,500
I'm kidding. We have

164
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:14,598
enough funds in

165
00:09:14,598 --> 00:09:15,695
the budget, so we will not

166
00:09:15,695 --> 00:09:16,987
go beyond it.

167
00:09:16,987 --> 00:09:17,912
Okay, we have a

168
00:09:17,912 --> 00:09:18,874
suggestion and

169
00:09:18,874 --> 00:09:19,838
support. The

170
00:09:19,838 --> 00:09:21,162
question was answered.

171
00:09:21,162 --> 00:09:22,764
Are there any more questions?

172
00:09:22,764 --> 00:09:24,632
OK. Those in favor,

173
00:09:24,632 --> 00:09:26,636
please say yes.

174
00:09:26,636 --> 00:09:28,523
Who is "against"? Okay,

175
00:09:28,523 --> 00:09:30,991
the offer is accepted.

176
00:09:30,991 --> 00:09:32,227
So, we are moving forward

177
00:09:32,227 --> 00:09:35,133
with stage rental.

178
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:35,819
Before we

179
00:09:35,819 --> 00:09:36,866
continue, Gary,

180
00:09:36,866 --> 00:09:38,043
please ask

181
00:09:38,043 --> 00:09:39,253
Ann Marie to inform the

182
00:09:39,253 --> 00:09:40,529
fire department that we

183
00:09:40,529 --> 00:09:41,118
will not be

184
00:09:41,118 --> 00:09:42,426
using their

185
00:09:42,426 --> 00:09:44,798
stage. Fire Chief

186
00:09:44,831 --> 00:09:45,883
Kramer asked

187
00:09:45,883 --> 00:09:46,738
me

188
00:09:46,738 --> 00:09:47,790
tonight what our

189
00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:50,936
solution was.

190
00:09:50,936 --> 00:09:52,170
Yes, and by the way, I also

191
00:09:52,170 --> 00:09:53,508
got this question

192
00:09:53,508 --> 00:09:54,502
at the crab festival

193
00:09:54,502 --> 00:09:57,881
last Saturday. Will

194
00:09:57,881 --> 00:09:58,829
we need

195
00:09:58,829 --> 00:09:59,904
help from the fire

196
00:09:59,904 --> 00:10:01,273
department? They were

197
00:10:01,273 --> 00:10:02,541
very open when

198
00:10:02,541 --> 00:10:03,397
asking if

199
00:10:03,397 --> 00:10:04,158
we needed

200
00:10:04,158 --> 00:10:05,853
help. So I

201
00:10:05,853 --> 00:10:07,102
told them that we...that

202
00:10:07,102 --> 00:10:08,351
everything was under control and I

203
00:10:08,351 --> 00:10:09,704
hoped they would take

204
00:10:09,704 --> 00:10:10,881
care of it.

205
00:10:10,881 --> 00:10:11,980
Just let

206
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:12,470
Steve know.

207
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:13,653
Steve Crown, I don't

208
00:10:13,653 --> 00:10:14,543
know who this is.

209
00:10:14,543 --> 00:10:15,559
Steve Crown.

210
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:15,957
Yes.

211
00:10:15,957 --> 00:10:17,058
But that was about the

212
00:10:17,058 --> 00:10:18,319
scene. The only thing

213
00:10:18,319 --> 00:10:19,360
we didn't ask about were

214
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,438
chairs and tables.

215
00:10:20,438 --> 00:10:21,555
No, we rented, we

216
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:22,584
rent tables and

217
00:10:22,584 --> 00:10:23,125
chairs.

218
00:10:23,125 --> 00:10:25,564
along with this? OK.

219
00:10:25,564 --> 00:10:26,775
Therefore.

220
00:10:26,775 --> 00:10:27,972
Need help with

221
00:10:27,972 --> 00:10:28,752
installation?

222
00:10:28,752 --> 00:10:29,544
They

223
00:10:29,544 --> 00:10:30,373
will install everything themselves.

224
00:10:30,373 --> 00:10:31,435
If I

225
00:10:31,435 --> 00:10:32,738
remember correctly, they are from the

226
00:10:32,738 --> 00:10:33,732
same company as the

227
00:10:33,732 --> 00:10:34,278
tents.

228
00:10:34,278 --> 00:10:34,921
OK.

229
00:10:34,921 --> 00:10:35,765
They will bring

230
00:10:35,765 --> 00:10:36,881
tents, set

231
00:10:36,881 --> 00:10:37,817
them up, and set up

232
00:10:37,817 --> 00:10:38,995
tables. They'll

233
00:10:38,995 --> 00:10:40,177
just leave the chairs there,

234
00:10:40,177 --> 00:10:41,359
because you understand, they

235
00:10:41,359 --> 00:10:42,478
can't be put up until the

236
00:10:42,478 --> 00:10:43,862
morning. So, do

237
00:10:43,862 --> 00:10:45,242
we need the fire

238
00:10:45,242 --> 00:10:45,985
department to

239
00:10:45,985 --> 00:10:47,152
set up 50 or 100

240
00:10:47,152 --> 00:10:48,634
chairs? I don't think so.

241
00:10:48,634 --> 00:10:50,155
I think not. OK.

242
00:10:50,155 --> 00:10:51,563
We can do it.

243
00:10:51,563 --> 00:10:52,831
Believe me, I'd

244
00:10:52,831 --> 00:10:54,003
trade the stage

245
00:10:54,003 --> 00:10:55,389
for a chair any day.

246
00:10:55,389 --> 00:10:59,750
I think Dante can.

247
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:00,779
Okay, if everyone is

248
00:11:00,779 --> 00:11:01,772
ready, we can

249
00:11:01,772 --> 00:11:03,105
move on. Um,

250
00:11:03,105 --> 00:11:04,492
a letter terminating the

251
00:11:04,492 --> 00:11:05,879
agreement with the

252
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:07,153
Reapers baseball club regarding the

253
00:11:07,153 --> 00:11:08,153
Lions Club field.

254
00:11:08,153 --> 00:11:09,349
Okay, give me a

255
00:11:09,349 --> 00:11:10,748
second.

256
00:11:10,748 --> 00:11:14,596
One second. So, the termination letter

257
00:11:14,628 --> 00:11:15,466
was prepared,

258
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:16,304
reviewed, and

259
00:11:16,304 --> 00:11:17,045
approved by

260
00:11:17,045 --> 00:11:17,657
attorney

261
00:11:17,657 --> 00:11:19,628
Ostrander. The letter

262
00:11:19,628 --> 00:11:20,779
was sent to the mayor

263
00:11:20,779 --> 00:11:21,433
and council for

264
00:11:21,433 --> 00:11:24,222
review. A little

265
00:11:24,222 --> 00:11:26,284
background: The

266
00:11:26,284 --> 00:11:26,868
Reapers baseball club, under

267
00:11:26,868 --> 00:11:28,243
Stuart

268
00:11:28,243 --> 00:11:29,273
Simpson, replaced

269
00:11:29,273 --> 00:11:29,995
previous

270
00:11:29,995 --> 00:11:31,198
managers and only began

271
00:11:31,198 --> 00:11:32,572
using the

272
00:11:32,572 --> 00:11:33,946
Lions Club field in May of

273
00:11:33,946 --> 00:11:39,008
this year. Mr.

274
00:11:39,008 --> 00:11:39,816
Simpson provided

275
00:11:39,816 --> 00:11:40,872
monthly schedules

276
00:11:40,872 --> 00:11:41,865
only for May and

277
00:11:41,865 --> 00:11:42,983
June of this year,

278
00:11:42,983 --> 00:11:44,133
although he is required by the licensing

279
00:11:44,133 --> 00:11:45,468
agreement

280
00:11:45,499 --> 00:11:46,617
to provide calendars

281
00:11:46,617 --> 00:11:52,101
for the entire season. We

282
00:11:52,101 --> 00:11:53,189
didn't know exactly how

283
00:11:53,189 --> 00:11:53,947
long the Reapers

284
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:55,232
had been using the field,

285
00:11:55,232 --> 00:11:56,155
but based on

286
00:11:56,155 --> 00:11:57,243
the inspection in late

287
00:11:57,243 --> 00:11:58,429
August, the field had

288
00:11:58,429 --> 00:11:58,825
not

289
00:11:58,825 --> 00:12:00,077
been used or

290
00:12:00,077 --> 00:12:03,768
maintained for a long time.

291
00:12:03,768 --> 00:12:04,841
Just recently,

292
00:12:04,841 --> 00:12:06,045
last week,

293
00:12:06,045 --> 00:12:07,086
Allen and I looked it over

294
00:12:07,086 --> 00:12:08,029
, and the grass in the

295
00:12:08,029 --> 00:12:09,232
outfield and around the

296
00:12:09,232 --> 00:12:10,404
benches had been, shall we say

297
00:12:10,404 --> 00:12:11,022
, roughly

298
00:12:11,022 --> 00:12:12,225
trimmed by someone

299
00:12:12,225 --> 00:12:13,136
who doesn't work for the

300
00:12:13,136 --> 00:12:13,949
utility

301
00:12:13,949 --> 00:12:15,203
company. We don't

302
00:12:15,203 --> 00:12:16,565
know who did it,

303
00:12:16,565 --> 00:12:17,825
but the condition of the field is still

304
00:12:17,825 --> 00:12:19,723
terrible. The infield

305
00:12:19,723 --> 00:12:22,388
is overgrown with grass, even though there

306
00:12:22,424 --> 00:12:24,474
wasn't any at the beginning of the year. The

307
00:12:24,474 --> 00:12:25,574
license agreement

308
00:12:25,574 --> 00:12:26,537
clearly defines

309
00:12:26,537 --> 00:12:27,844
Reapers' obligations

310
00:12:27,844 --> 00:12:28,876
regarding technical

311
00:12:28,876 --> 00:12:30,045
maintenance and

312
00:12:30,045 --> 00:12:32,668
information provision.

313
00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:33,926
Therefore, with the approval

314
00:12:33,926 --> 00:12:34,952
of the board, tomorrow I will

315
00:12:34,952 --> 00:12:35,945
send

316
00:12:35,945 --> 00:12:37,270
this letter to Mr. Simpson

317
00:12:37,270 --> 00:12:37,965
terminating the

318
00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:42,614
license agreement.

319
00:12:42,614 --> 00:12:43,868
He doesn't answer

320
00:12:43,868 --> 00:12:45,189
emails, but

321
00:12:45,189 --> 00:12:50,063
we have his address.

322
00:12:50,063 --> 00:12:50,802
OK.

323
00:12:50,802 --> 00:12:52,221
Does that

324
00:12:52,221 --> 00:12:53,228
suit you? I

325
00:12:53,228 --> 00:12:55,342
will send this. Does

326
00:12:55,342 --> 00:12:59,411
everyone agree?

327
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:00,016
Good.

328
00:13:00,016 --> 00:13:02,247
Thank you.

329
00:13:02,247 --> 00:13:04,302
Good. Yes, item

330
00:13:04,302 --> 00:13:05,363
number three is

331
00:13:05,363 --> 00:13:06,806
exterior

332
00:13:06,806 --> 00:13:08,462
renovations at

333
00:13:08,462 --> 00:13:09,568
211 High Street.

334
00:13:09,568 --> 00:13:11,032
Yes.

335
00:13:11,032 --> 00:13:12,413
Wood restoration

336
00:13:12,413 --> 00:13:13,914
, contract award.

337
00:13:13,914 --> 00:13:17,538
Let me

338
00:13:17,538 --> 00:13:22,961
change the subject a little. OK.

339
00:13:22,961 --> 00:13:24,255
This is actually the last

340
00:13:24,255 --> 00:13:25,350
of the first four

341
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:26,013
requests for

342
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:27,175
proposals, the first

343
00:13:27,175 --> 00:13:30,195
stage of tenders. So,

344
00:13:30,195 --> 00:13:31,761
the request for proposals (

345
00:13:31,761 --> 00:13:33,368
RFP) was published on

346
00:13:33,368 --> 00:13:34,362
July 7. Three

347
00:13:34,362 --> 00:13:36,258
mandatory inspections

348
00:13:36,258 --> 00:13:38,256
of the facility took place on July 20,

349
00:13:38,256 --> 00:13:40,673
21, and 23. The

350
00:13:40,673 --> 00:13:41,731
deadline for submitting

351
00:13:41,731 --> 00:13:43,511
questions was July 30.

352
00:13:43,511 --> 00:13:44,842
We didn't receive any

353
00:13:44,842 --> 00:13:46,346
questions. The deadline for

354
00:13:46,346 --> 00:13:47,408
applications

355
00:13:47,408 --> 00:13:51,689
expired on August 7. The

356
00:13:51,734 --> 00:13:53,484
state's revitalization program grant amount for

357
00:13:53,484 --> 00:13:54,964
fiscal year 2025

358
00:13:54,964 --> 00:13:56,176
is

359
00:13:56,176 --> 00:13:58,426
$250,000. The 211 High

360
00:13:58,426 --> 00:13:59,576
Street project consists of

361
00:13:59,576 --> 00:14:00,761
four phases, and the

362
00:14:00,761 --> 00:14:01,980
exterior

363
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:03,339
woodwork is the fourth

364
00:14:03,339 --> 00:14:06,012
phase of the four. We

365
00:14:06,012 --> 00:14:08,363
received one bid

366
00:14:08,363 --> 00:14:10,052
from JPS

367
00:14:10,052 --> 00:14:12,222
Construction for

368
00:14:12,222 --> 00:14:15,681
$7,206.50. In fact,

369
00:14:15,681 --> 00:14:16,956
it was a revised

370
00:14:16,956 --> 00:14:21,201
price offer. The

371
00:14:21,201 --> 00:14:22,822
original bid

372
00:14:22,822 --> 00:14:24,402
was $10,295, but

373
00:14:24,402 --> 00:14:25,537
they planned on

374
00:14:25,537 --> 00:14:26,997
woodwork on the

375
00:14:26,997 --> 00:14:28,537
existing facade, which is

376
00:14:28,537 --> 00:14:29,753
recessed under the

377
00:14:29,753 --> 00:14:35,235
arch. I discussed

378
00:14:35,235 --> 00:14:36,603
this with the mayor and the

379
00:14:36,634 --> 00:14:40,021
public works director. We do

380
00:14:40,021 --> 00:14:41,118
n't know what we

381
00:14:41,118 --> 00:14:42,247
will do with this during the

382
00:14:42,247 --> 00:14:42,989
internal

383
00:14:42,989 --> 00:14:46,756
renovation. I know

384
00:14:46,756 --> 00:14:48,171
that the council members want

385
00:14:48,171 --> 00:14:51,661
to make a beautiful facade.

386
00:14:51,661 --> 00:14:53,562
So we asked them

387
00:14:53,562 --> 00:14:55,464
to remove that portion,

388
00:14:55,464 --> 00:14:56,715
and the application amount

389
00:14:56,715 --> 00:14:58,467
was reduced to

390
00:14:58,467 --> 00:15:02,177
$7,206.50. So, we

391
00:15:02,177 --> 00:15:03,161
discussed this in

392
00:15:03,161 --> 00:15:04,082
our first of

393
00:15:04,082 --> 00:15:05,161
several meetings

394
00:15:05,161 --> 00:15:08,702
tonight. We

395
00:15:08,702 --> 00:15:09,489
met with

396
00:15:09,489 --> 00:15:10,703
the fire department and

397
00:15:10,703 --> 00:15:11,621
reviewed all the

398
00:15:11,621 --> 00:15:12,736
costs incurred,

399
00:15:12,736 --> 00:15:13,621
namely the payment for

400
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:16,360
dismantling. It is

401
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,397
complete.

402
00:15:19,397 --> 00:15:21,462
Including the balance,

403
00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:23,092
we will have

404
00:15:23,092 --> 00:15:24,994
$129,358.50 of the $250,000

405
00:15:24,994 --> 00:15:26,733
after completing the

406
00:15:26,733 --> 00:15:28,363
next three

407
00:15:28,363 --> 00:15:35,420
phases of the project. Em.

408
00:15:35,420 --> 00:15:37,730
So I'm asking for a vote to

409
00:15:37,767 --> 00:15:39,088
approve JPS Construction

410
00:15:39,088 --> 00:15:40,041
for the exterior

411
00:15:40,041 --> 00:15:43,779
woodwork.

412
00:15:43,779 --> 00:15:44,794
Okay, you've heard

413
00:15:44,794 --> 00:15:45,809
the information regarding

414
00:15:45,809 --> 00:15:47,128
exterior

415
00:15:47,128 --> 00:15:51,821
woodwork. Em. The

416
00:15:51,821 --> 00:15:52,875
mayor is awaiting

417
00:15:52,875 --> 00:15:54,415
approval of the contract

418
00:15:54,415 --> 00:15:59,859
with JPS Construction.

419
00:15:59,859 --> 00:16:01,213
Okay, I'm making

420
00:16:01,213 --> 00:16:02,985
a proposal to award a

421
00:16:02,985 --> 00:16:05,017
contract for exterior

422
00:16:05,017 --> 00:16:06,893
woodwork at

423
00:16:06,893 --> 00:16:08,508
211 High Street to

424
00:16:08,508 --> 00:16:10,540
JPS Construction for

425
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:15,133
$7,206.50.

426
00:16:15,133 --> 00:16:16,324
Okay, we have

427
00:16:16,324 --> 00:16:18,134
a proposal to accept the

428
00:16:18,134 --> 00:16:19,945
JPS application for the amount of 7,200,

429
00:16:19,945 --> 00:16:21,713
sorry.

430
00:16:21,713 --> 00:16:23,802
6 dollars 60 cents.

431
00:16:23,802 --> 00:16:25,934
6 dollars 50 cents. 6

432
00:16:25,934 --> 00:16:27,811
dollars 50 cents.

433
00:16:27,811 --> 00:16:28,860
I support.

434
00:16:28,860 --> 00:16:30,661
There is a second proposal.

435
00:16:30,661 --> 00:16:31,794
Are there any questions about

436
00:16:31,794 --> 00:16:34,700
this approval?

437
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:35,681
I ask everyone who is "in favor"

438
00:16:35,681 --> 00:16:36,924
to say "

439
00:16:36,924 --> 00:16:37,813
yes."

440
00:16:37,813 --> 00:16:39,883
Who is against?

441
00:16:39,883 --> 00:16:40,667
Thank you.

442
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:41,933
The decision has been made.

443
00:16:41,933 --> 00:16:42,909
Announcement about

444
00:16:42,909 --> 00:16:44,200
the start of work tomorrow.

445
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,867
OK.

446
00:16:45,867 --> 00:16:48,622
One, one, one.

447
00:16:48,622 --> 00:16:49,722
Say it.

448
00:16:49,722 --> 00:16:53,628
OK. Item number

449
00:16:53,628 --> 00:16:54,732
five is a change

450
00:16:54,732 --> 00:16:55,678
order for the

451
00:16:55,678 --> 00:16:57,176
interior demolition of

452
00:16:57,176 --> 00:16:59,468
211 High Street.

453
00:16:59,468 --> 00:17:03,013
Yes. As I just said

454
00:17:03,013 --> 00:17:04,640
, the internal dismantling

455
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,779
was completed

456
00:17:05,779 --> 00:17:07,080
by Urbana Multi

457
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,234
Services. We were hoping to

458
00:17:10,234 --> 00:17:11,200
get

459
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,291
changes to our orders from them

460
00:17:12,291 --> 00:17:13,537
tonight, but

461
00:17:13,537 --> 00:17:14,721
they haven't provided them yet,

462
00:17:14,721 --> 00:17:15,937
so we're waiting on two

463
00:17:15,937 --> 00:17:17,205
adjustments. The first

464
00:17:17,205 --> 00:17:18,420
is a temporary support

465
00:17:18,420 --> 00:17:19,774
for a cross beam

466
00:17:19,774 --> 00:17:21,023
on the second floor,

467
00:17:21,023 --> 00:17:22,065
which has sagged, is

468
00:17:22,065 --> 00:17:23,280
cracked, and needs

469
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,834
stabilization. This will be a

470
00:17:24,834 --> 00:17:25,524
temporary

471
00:17:25,524 --> 00:17:27,668
stabilization.

472
00:17:27,668 --> 00:17:28,520
Everything inside has

473
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,830
been cleaned out, so we've

474
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:31,010
removed

475
00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:31,436
a lot of

476
00:17:31,436 --> 00:17:33,298
structural supports, so to speak.

477
00:17:33,298 --> 00:17:34,482
Nothing serious,

478
00:17:34,482 --> 00:17:35,328
but there are

479
00:17:35,328 --> 00:17:37,794
a lot fewer supports there now.

480
00:17:37,794 --> 00:17:39,073
So, since there are other contractors working on the roof

481
00:17:39,073 --> 00:17:40,156
and exterior

482
00:17:40,156 --> 00:17:41,337
, we

483
00:17:41,337 --> 00:17:43,515
wanted to back that up.

484
00:17:43,515 --> 00:17:44,790
So, that's one change to

485
00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:45,524
the order—

486
00:17:45,524 --> 00:17:46,322
installing

487
00:17:46,322 --> 00:17:47,566
temporary support under

488
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:49,759
that location. And the other one is on the

489
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:51,025
first floor, I don't

490
00:17:51,025 --> 00:17:52,291
know if everyone has seen it,

491
00:17:52,291 --> 00:17:53,591
but everything there is stripped down to the

492
00:17:53,591 --> 00:17:54,962
bricks, and it's actually

493
00:17:54,962 --> 00:17:58,082
really cool. But they

494
00:17:58,082 --> 00:17:59,143
made lintels

495
00:17:59,143 --> 00:18:00,204
about every 4

496
00:18:00,204 --> 00:18:01,199
feet, but the

497
00:18:01,199 --> 00:18:02,294
lintels themselves were made of

498
00:18:02,294 --> 00:18:04,100
old wood.

499
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:05,593
Mhm.

500
00:18:05,593 --> 00:18:06,866
And that wood has rotted,

501
00:18:06,866 --> 00:18:08,172
so they will replace those

502
00:18:08,172 --> 00:18:09,413
wooden lintels,

503
00:18:09,413 --> 00:18:10,426
which again are the

504
00:18:10,426 --> 00:18:11,373
structural

505
00:18:11,373 --> 00:18:12,581
support for the brickwork

506
00:18:12,581 --> 00:18:15,482
. So, those are the two

507
00:18:15,482 --> 00:18:16,806
changes to the order that

508
00:18:16,806 --> 00:18:19,383
we're waiting on. We

509
00:18:19,383 --> 00:18:20,682
need to get them and

510
00:18:20,682 --> 00:18:21,526
approve them at the

511
00:18:21,526 --> 00:18:24,318
next meeting.

512
00:18:24,318 --> 00:18:25,480
Our staff wants

513
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,573
to share this with

514
00:18:26,573 --> 00:18:29,295
everyone. The experience

515
00:18:29,295 --> 00:18:30,140
with Urbana is simply

516
00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:32,447
fantastic. This is a

517
00:18:32,447 --> 00:18:33,556
top-notch company

518
00:18:33,556 --> 00:18:35,077
, honestly. And

519
00:18:35,077 --> 00:18:36,046
they are the general

520
00:18:36,046 --> 00:18:37,346
contractor. They have already

521
00:18:37,346 --> 00:18:38,297
confirmed that

522
00:18:38,297 --> 00:18:39,543
they will do the internal

523
00:18:39,543 --> 00:18:42,442
renovations and everything else.

524
00:18:42,442 --> 00:18:43,136
But just

525
00:18:43,136 --> 00:18:44,456
the communication, the guys

526
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:45,533
who work—we're

527
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:46,714
really, really

528
00:18:46,714 --> 00:18:49,514
happy with them. We would be

529
00:18:49,514 --> 00:18:50,665
more than happy to

530
00:18:50,665 --> 00:18:51,639
work with

531
00:18:51,639 --> 00:18:52,878
them again in the future. That's

532
00:18:52,878 --> 00:18:53,893
it.

533
00:18:53,893 --> 00:18:55,388
Good to know.

534
00:18:55,388 --> 00:18:56,580
Yes. More

535
00:18:56,580 --> 00:18:57,738
information will be provided at a

536
00:18:57,738 --> 00:19:02,826
future meeting.

537
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:04,268
Good. Thanks for the

538
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:05,180
update and

539
00:19:05,180 --> 00:19:10,450
information. OK.

540
00:19:10,450 --> 00:19:14,729
Item 6 is FAMLI.

541
00:19:14,729 --> 00:19:15,904
family, what we

542
00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:16,754
talked about.

543
00:19:16,754 --> 00:19:17,390
OK.

544
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:18,817
Where we need the

545
00:19:18,817 --> 00:19:19,418
council to

546
00:19:19,418 --> 00:19:20,658
vote is whether

547
00:19:20,658 --> 00:19:22,123
the city will cover that

548
00:19:22,123 --> 00:19:23,626
0.9% or whether we will split it

549
00:19:23,626 --> 00:19:24,039
50/50 with the

550
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:25,364
employees.

551
00:19:25,364 --> 00:19:26,677
Okay, I know we

552
00:19:26,677 --> 00:19:27,707
talked about this

553
00:19:27,707 --> 00:19:28,795
before. Uh-huh.

554
00:19:28,795 --> 00:19:29,841
Let's talk about this

555
00:19:29,841 --> 00:19:30,290
again.

556
00:19:30,290 --> 00:19:31,186
Good. So,

557
00:19:31,186 --> 00:19:32,549
based on gross

558
00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:33,843
payroll for

559
00:19:33,843 --> 00:19:35,031
fiscal year 2017,

560
00:19:35,031 --> 00:19:36,290
the cost to the city

561
00:19:36,290 --> 00:19:37,514
if it pays the

562
00:19:37,514 --> 00:19:38,772
full 0.9% would be

563
00:19:38,772 --> 00:19:40,131
about $4,935.

564
00:19:40,131 --> 00:19:42,135
At a 50/50 split, that's,

565
00:19:42,135 --> 00:19:44,192
you know, $2,467

566
00:19:44,192 --> 00:19:45,743
. This is mandatory. This is a

567
00:19:45,743 --> 00:19:47,000
federal requirement, we

568
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,844
have to do it.

569
00:19:49,844 --> 00:19:50,813
We are a state, but it is

570
00:19:50,813 --> 00:19:52,214
mandatory for everyone

571
00:19:52,214 --> 00:19:53,579
, and we should start

572
00:19:53,579 --> 00:19:54,980
collecting these costs

573
00:19:54,980 --> 00:19:58,403
on January 1st.

574
00:19:58,403 --> 00:19:59,179
OK.

575
00:19:59,179 --> 00:20:00,417
Um, so now I

576
00:20:00,417 --> 00:20:01,002
need to

577
00:20:01,002 --> 00:20:02,276
register us and get

578
00:20:02,276 --> 00:20:03,618
things moving somehow

579
00:20:03,618 --> 00:20:05,964
. Um, we

580
00:20:05,964 --> 00:20:06,930
just need to

581
00:20:06,930 --> 00:20:07,961
make a decision

582
00:20:07,961 --> 00:20:08,895
about what we're

583
00:20:08,895 --> 00:20:10,599
going to do.

584
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,577
So this amount was

585
00:20:12,577 --> 00:20:14,174
$4,900 plus

586
00:20:14,174 --> 00:20:15,057
salary, and that doesn't

587
00:20:15,057 --> 00:20:15,913
include any

588
00:20:15,913 --> 00:20:16,939
overtime, because I'm

589
00:20:16,939 --> 00:20:17,838
just basing it on the

590
00:20:17,838 --> 00:20:18,905
total for the

591
00:20:18,905 --> 00:20:19,329
city

592
00:20:19,329 --> 00:20:19,918
for the year.

593
00:20:19,918 --> 00:20:22,587
Per year. This is 0.9%.

594
00:20:22,587 --> 00:20:24,179
Good. For an employee

595
00:20:24,179 --> 00:20:24,425
or

596
00:20:24,425 --> 00:20:25,528
Well, that's if the city

597
00:20:25,528 --> 00:20:27,017
pays for everything in full.

598
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:28,618
For an employee, it would be

599
00:20:28,618 --> 00:20:29,982
0.45. And then the

600
00:20:29,982 --> 00:20:31,150
city pays 0.45

601
00:20:31,150 --> 00:20:32,637
if we split that.

602
00:20:32,637 --> 00:20:33,860
So this

603
00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:35,121
total is

604
00:20:35,121 --> 00:20:36,674
$4,900 all together.

605
00:20:36,674 --> 00:20:37,819
Not including

606
00:20:37,819 --> 00:20:38,803
overtime.

607
00:20:38,803 --> 00:20:39,879
Yes, that's right.

608
00:20:39,879 --> 00:20:40,734
No overtime

609
00:20:40,734 --> 00:20:41,287
for every

610
00:20:41,287 --> 00:20:42,217
employee for the entire

611
00:20:42,217 --> 00:20:42,494
year.

612
00:20:42,494 --> 00:20:43,142
Right. Are

613
00:20:43,142 --> 00:20:44,240
you all included?

614
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,319
Yes, city employees

615
00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:46,152
. Well, am

616
00:20:46,152 --> 00:20:47,356
I included in this too?

617
00:20:47,356 --> 00:20:48,444
You should be, yes.

618
00:20:48,444 --> 00:20:49,693
We checked it, yes.

619
00:20:49,693 --> 00:20:50,643
I believe you.

620
00:20:50,643 --> 00:20:51,918
Yes. This This This is not as

621
00:20:51,918 --> 00:20:53,112
much as it seems,

622
00:20:53,112 --> 00:20:53,567
but it is

623
00:20:53,567 --> 00:20:56,069
0.9% of our salary.

624
00:20:56,069 --> 00:20:57,797
Yes, I know. That's what

625
00:20:57,797 --> 00:20:59,625
I'm talking about. Yes. Yes, you're

626
00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:00,864
all included, so

627
00:21:00,864 --> 00:21:01,219
yes.

628
00:21:01,219 --> 00:21:02,832
We are already working for free.

629
00:21:02,832 --> 00:21:03,737
It is carried out in the same way as

630
00:21:03,737 --> 00:21:04,500
any

631
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:05,376
other taxes

632
00:21:05,376 --> 00:21:06,173
you have to pay.

633
00:21:06,173 --> 00:21:07,218
The season is coming,

634
00:21:07,218 --> 00:21:08,226
Josh. Ask for a

635
00:21:08,226 --> 00:21:09,392
raise. Well,

636
00:21:09,392 --> 00:21:10,554
man. it?

637
00:21:10,554 --> 00:21:11,064
Therefore.

638
00:21:11,064 --> 00:21:11,903
Yes, I don't think this

639
00:21:11,903 --> 00:21:12,839
will be a very popular

640
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:13,347
solution.

641
00:21:13,347 --> 00:21:13,983
Well, you haven't had a

642
00:21:13,983 --> 00:21:14,684
raise since

643
00:21:14,684 --> 00:21:15,448
I started

644
00:21:15,448 --> 00:21:15,952
working here. A

645
00:21:15,952 --> 00:21:16,952
lot of time has passed,

646
00:21:16,952 --> 00:21:18,092
but it's nothing. Nobody is

647
00:21:18,092 --> 00:21:19,687
here for the money.

648
00:21:19,687 --> 00:21:22,160
Okay, so

649
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,083
Thoughts?

650
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:25,044
Discussion?

651
00:21:25,044 --> 00:21:26,283
I have just one

652
00:21:26,283 --> 00:21:28,460
question. Not that I

653
00:21:28,460 --> 00:21:29,523
want to do that, I'm

654
00:21:29,523 --> 00:21:30,520
just asking:

655
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,649
Could we make it

656
00:21:31,649 --> 00:21:32,646
so that elected

657
00:21:32,646 --> 00:21:33,775
officials pay a

658
00:21:33,775 --> 00:21:34,971
percentage and city

659
00:21:34,971 --> 00:21:36,167
staff get

660
00:21:36,167 --> 00:21:38,729
paid in full? Should

661
00:21:38,729 --> 00:21:40,102
this be the only solution

662
00:21:40,102 --> 00:21:41,401
for the city?

663
00:21:41,401 --> 00:21:42,579
Mhm.

664
00:21:42,579 --> 00:21:43,496
I don't know this

665
00:21:43,496 --> 00:21:44,642
for sure, I mean I'm not

666
00:21:44,642 --> 00:21:46,378
sure, but it would probably be

667
00:21:46,411 --> 00:21:47,688
easier to have some kind of

668
00:21:47,688 --> 00:21:49,904
single approach. Because I

669
00:21:49,904 --> 00:21:51,028
have to do

670
00:21:51,028 --> 00:21:51,855
quarterly

671
00:21:51,855 --> 00:21:53,177
reporting, and, let's say,

672
00:21:53,177 --> 00:21:54,070
if someone

673
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:55,260
uses this, I

674
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:56,053
think it would be

675
00:21:56,053 --> 00:21:57,111
easier if it

676
00:21:57,111 --> 00:21:59,105
were clear.

677
00:21:59,105 --> 00:22:00,286
Yes, I haven't studied it

678
00:22:00,286 --> 00:22:01,676
as thoroughly as they have,

679
00:22:01,676 --> 00:22:02,927
but I am somewhat familiar

680
00:22:02,927 --> 00:22:05,905
with the issue. And I didn't

681
00:22:05,905 --> 00:22:07,069
see anything that

682
00:22:07,069 --> 00:22:07,933
related to a

683
00:22:07,933 --> 00:22:08,897
multi-level

684
00:22:08,897 --> 00:22:09,529
structure of

685
00:22:09,529 --> 00:22:12,108
employees. You know,

686
00:22:12,108 --> 00:22:13,259
people who earn

687
00:22:13,259 --> 00:22:14,198
the most have to

688
00:22:14,198 --> 00:22:15,379
pay everything themselves, and those

689
00:22:15,379 --> 00:22:16,166
who earn

690
00:22:16,166 --> 00:22:17,105
the least can

691
00:22:17,105 --> 00:22:18,053
split the amount.

692
00:22:18,053 --> 00:22:18,549
I think it's

693
00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:19,472
fair to say

694
00:22:19,472 --> 00:22:20,205
that none of us are

695
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:20,701
going to

696
00:22:20,701 --> 00:22:21,340
take parental

697
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:21,955
leave

698
00:22:21,955 --> 00:22:22,883
.

699
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:23,640
But it's not just parental

700
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,776
leave

701
00:22:24,776 --> 00:22:26,174
. Anything

702
00:22:26,174 --> 00:22:27,355
you're right about

703
00:22:27,355 --> 00:22:28,267
.

704
00:22:28,267 --> 00:22:29,255
Therefore.

705
00:22:29,255 --> 00:22:30,399
That's pretty much everything

706
00:22:30,399 --> 00:22:31,574
you'd want to take

707
00:22:31,574 --> 00:22:32,317
six weeks

708
00:22:32,317 --> 00:22:33,730
off for.

709
00:22:33,730 --> 00:22:34,933
Excuse me, what, what did you

710
00:22:34,933 --> 00:22:35,598
say?

711
00:22:35,598 --> 00:22:36,683
I probably shouldn't have

712
00:22:36,683 --> 00:22:37,799
said that. I

713
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:39,061
said that's probably how it

714
00:22:39,061 --> 00:22:40,323
looks now, and

715
00:22:40,323 --> 00:22:44,116
this is a new program, right?

716
00:22:44,116 --> 00:22:45,184
But there are family

717
00:22:45,184 --> 00:22:46,419
vacations,

718
00:22:46,419 --> 00:22:47,654
health issues, and other

719
00:22:47,654 --> 00:22:51,352
similar crises. This is a

720
00:22:51,352 --> 00:22:52,114
very broad

721
00:22:52,114 --> 00:22:54,534
formulation. So, um,

722
00:22:54,534 --> 00:22:56,092
maybe if you had

723
00:22:56,092 --> 00:22:59,784
Never mind. There are

724
00:22:59,784 --> 00:23:01,336
many, many reasons

725
00:23:01,336 --> 00:23:02,566
. It's not just

726
00:23:02,566 --> 00:23:03,474
Yes, it's not just

727
00:23:03,474 --> 00:23:04,113
health.

728
00:23:04,113 --> 00:23:05,392
using. Oh, yes,

729
00:23:05,392 --> 00:23:06,622
it's not just health.

730
00:23:06,622 --> 00:23:07,780
Newborns, if

731
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:09,033
your parents are sick, or,

732
00:23:09,033 --> 00:23:10,128
yeah, it's just very

733
00:23:10,128 --> 00:23:11,028
broad. Yes.

734
00:23:11,028 --> 00:23:13,316
it's a lot, almost anything,

735
00:23:13,316 --> 00:23:14,663
So, I guess I have, I have

736
00:23:14,663 --> 00:23:15,444
two

737
00:23:15,444 --> 00:23:18,036
questions. Or we,

738
00:23:18,036 --> 00:23:19,151
since I'm out of the

739
00:23:19,151 --> 00:23:20,421
workforce, um,

740
00:23:20,421 --> 00:23:25,962
except here. Um, how, do other

741
00:23:25,962 --> 00:23:27,170
municipalities, and

742
00:23:27,170 --> 00:23:28,231
maybe even

743
00:23:28,231 --> 00:23:29,585
businesses, of those that are

744
00:23:29,585 --> 00:23:30,427
working,

745
00:23:30,427 --> 00:23:33,047
deal with this? And

746
00:23:33,047 --> 00:23:34,350
secondly, should it

747
00:23:34,350 --> 00:23:35,691
be all at once, or should it be

748
00:23:35,691 --> 00:23:37,070
split, or is it something that the

749
00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:38,219
city could

750
00:23:38,219 --> 00:23:39,254
phase in

751
00:23:39,254 --> 00:23:40,709
25% this

752
00:23:40,709 --> 00:23:41,691
year and then

753
00:23:41,691 --> 00:23:43,917
I think it would be 50/50

754
00:23:43,917 --> 00:23:44,369
or

755
00:23:44,369 --> 00:23:46,629
Yeah, I think 50/50 or

756
00:23:46,629 --> 00:23:47,715
I mean, everything that

757
00:23:47,715 --> 00:23:48,747
I've seen, I'm not saying it can't

758
00:23:48,747 --> 00:23:49,753
be different,

759
00:23:49,753 --> 00:23:50,839
but I think from a

760
00:23:50,839 --> 00:23:51,545
logistics perspective for

761
00:23:51,545 --> 00:23:52,442
reporting and my

762
00:23:52,442 --> 00:23:53,447
tracking, and because

763
00:23:53,447 --> 00:23:54,289
we're going to

764
00:23:54,289 --> 00:23:55,240
do it in-

765
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:55,973
house, not with a

766
00:23:55,973 --> 00:23:56,897
third

767
00:23:56,897 --> 00:23:58,969
party. Um, so I

768
00:23:58,969 --> 00:23:59,959
think so.

769
00:23:59,959 --> 00:24:01,690
Do we know what others

770
00:24:01,690 --> 00:24:04,428
They asked us.

771
00:24:04,428 --> 00:24:05,659
They sent it.

772
00:24:05,659 --> 00:24:06,694
They do it.

773
00:24:06,694 --> 00:24:07,729
They are

774
00:24:07,729 --> 00:24:08,104
trendsetters.

775
00:24:08,104 --> 00:24:09,397
Yes, everyone is waiting to

776
00:24:09,397 --> 00:24:10,246
see what

777
00:24:10,246 --> 00:24:11,197
but we are getting close

778
00:24:11,197 --> 00:24:11,968
to the point where we are

779
00:24:11,968 --> 00:24:13,279
running out of time for me to

780
00:24:13,305 --> 00:24:14,202
register.

781
00:24:14,202 --> 00:24:14,785
boat.

782
00:24:14,785 --> 00:24:18,044
Yes, therefore. And that's just something that would be

783
00:24:18,071 --> 00:24:19,038
beneficial if we

784
00:24:19,038 --> 00:24:19,894
implemented it to

785
00:24:19,894 --> 00:24:20,915
retain people, and it's

786
00:24:20,915 --> 00:24:21,661
just another

787
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:22,489
benefit that we

788
00:24:22,489 --> 00:24:23,345
can add to

789
00:24:23,345 --> 00:24:24,053
our benefits. which

790
00:24:24,053 --> 00:24:25,436
I was thinking about too.

791
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:26,768
Seeing that we had

792
00:24:26,768 --> 00:24:27,815
problems with this.

793
00:24:27,815 --> 00:24:29,185
I, I mean, the

794
00:24:29,185 --> 00:24:30,383
city's payroll has been

795
00:24:30,383 --> 00:24:31,342
growing pretty

796
00:24:31,342 --> 00:24:32,678
steadily above the rate of

797
00:24:32,678 --> 00:24:33,843
inflation over the

798
00:24:33,843 --> 00:24:34,939
last few

799
00:24:34,939 --> 00:24:36,274
years, but it's also not

800
00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:37,336
, it's not a $20,000 bump

801
00:24:37,336 --> 00:24:38,569
like health

802
00:24:38,569 --> 00:24:39,699
insurance and so on,

803
00:24:39,699 --> 00:24:42,205
so I'm inclined to

804
00:24:42,205 --> 00:24:43,442
say we just

805
00:24:43,442 --> 00:24:44,583
pay it, pay it in

806
00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:45,248
full, and

807
00:24:45,248 --> 00:24:46,231
hope that

808
00:24:46,231 --> 00:24:47,435
state law

809
00:24:47,435 --> 00:24:48,449
doesn't change to

810
00:24:48,449 --> 00:24:49,469
increase that 0.9%.

811
00:24:49,469 --> 00:24:50,341
If it changes, we'll

812
00:24:50,341 --> 00:24:50,850
have to

813
00:24:50,850 --> 00:24:51,626
look at it

814
00:24:51,626 --> 00:24:52,526
when it happens.

815
00:24:52,526 --> 00:24:54,238
Yes, yes.

816
00:24:54,238 --> 00:24:57,000
Okay, um I'll

817
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:57,762
take

818
00:24:57,762 --> 00:24:59,175
suggestions to accept

819
00:24:59,175 --> 00:25:00,299
that we're going to

820
00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:01,278
provide 100%

821
00:25:01,278 --> 00:25:04,488
coverage for the city. with

822
00:25:04,488 --> 00:25:05,636
F M F

823
00:25:05,636 --> 00:25:07,865
FMLA, it's family, they

824
00:25:07,865 --> 00:25:09,380
call it family

825
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:10,561
Yes, it's "family"

826
00:25:10,561 --> 00:25:14,537
through the "and", it's a coincidence.

827
00:25:14,537 --> 00:25:15,749
Okay, I'm open to

828
00:25:15,749 --> 00:25:17,265
a proposal that the

829
00:25:17,265 --> 00:25:18,667
city

830
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:20,183
cover 100% of family

831
00:25:20,183 --> 00:25:22,031
leave.

832
00:25:25,435 --> 00:25:26,890
I will make a proposal to have the

833
00:25:26,890 --> 00:25:28,387
city cover

834
00:25:28,387 --> 00:25:29,964
100% of family leave

835
00:25:29,964 --> 00:25:30,692
.

836
00:25:30,692 --> 00:25:31,291
Good.

837
00:25:31,291 --> 00:25:32,349
I support.

838
00:25:32,349 --> 00:25:33,180
Okay, we have a

839
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:33,978
suggestion and

840
00:25:33,978 --> 00:25:34,711
support.

841
00:25:34,711 --> 00:25:35,286
OK.

842
00:25:35,286 --> 00:25:36,192
This is to ensure that the city

843
00:25:36,192 --> 00:25:37,612
covers 100%. Those who are "in favor

844
00:25:37,612 --> 00:25:38,702
", please say "yes

845
00:25:38,702 --> 00:25:38,889
".

846
00:25:38,889 --> 00:25:39,705
I have just one

847
00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:40,322
question.

848
00:25:40,322 --> 00:25:40,974
Okay, one

849
00:25:40,974 --> 00:25:41,974
question. Excuse me, I

850
00:25:41,974 --> 00:25:42,471
beg your pardon,

851
00:25:42,471 --> 00:25:42,899
let me

852
00:25:42,899 --> 00:25:43,767
go back.

853
00:25:43,767 --> 00:25:44,950
This question is more for

854
00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:45,819
our lawyer.

855
00:25:45,819 --> 00:25:47,016
Putting it this

856
00:25:47,016 --> 00:25:48,150
way, should we

857
00:25:48,150 --> 00:25:49,056
specify a specific

858
00:25:49,056 --> 00:25:50,704
time period? Because if

859
00:25:50,704 --> 00:25:52,058
we just say that

860
00:25:52,058 --> 00:25:52,645
, is that...

861
00:25:52,645 --> 00:25:53,531
I don't think that will

862
00:25:53,531 --> 00:25:54,269
obligate you to

863
00:25:54,269 --> 00:25:55,362
not make

864
00:25:55,362 --> 00:25:56,369
any changes forever. If

865
00:25:56,369 --> 00:25:57,313
they quadrupled it

866
00:25:57,313 --> 00:25:58,371
in 2 years, I do

867
00:25:58,371 --> 00:25:59,858
n't think you would be

868
00:25:59,886 --> 00:26:00,816
stuck with it.

869
00:26:00,816 --> 00:26:02,045
These are all the questions I have

870
00:26:02,045 --> 00:26:02,618
.

871
00:26:02,618 --> 00:26:03,745
Sorry to interrupt

872
00:26:03,745 --> 00:26:04,677
your question.

873
00:26:04,677 --> 00:26:05,966
OK. So, we have a

874
00:26:05,966 --> 00:26:06,689
proposal and

875
00:26:06,689 --> 00:26:07,950
support. I assume

876
00:26:07,950 --> 00:26:09,068
all questions have already

877
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:10,710
been answered. OK.

878
00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:12,042
I ask everyone who is "in favor" to

879
00:26:12,042 --> 00:26:13,055
say "yes."

880
00:26:13,055 --> 00:26:13,634
Yes.

881
00:26:13,634 --> 00:26:16,055
Who is against? Good.

882
00:26:16,055 --> 00:26:19,181
The proposal is accepted.

883
00:26:19,181 --> 00:26:21,083
OK. Item number

884
00:26:21,083 --> 00:26:23,475
seven is mine. Uh,

885
00:26:23,475 --> 00:26:24,770
review of the charter and

886
00:26:24,770 --> 00:26:27,122
possible amendments.

887
00:26:27,122 --> 00:26:29,475
OK. Um, I'm not

888
00:26:29,475 --> 00:26:30,102
going to

889
00:26:30,102 --> 00:26:31,355
rewrite the entire

890
00:26:31,355 --> 00:26:36,805
city charter. But there are

891
00:26:36,805 --> 00:26:37,888
things that, in my

892
00:26:37,888 --> 00:26:38,501
opinion, do not

893
00:26:38,501 --> 00:26:39,945
reflect what

894
00:26:39,945 --> 00:26:41,028
we are doing now,

895
00:26:41,028 --> 00:26:41,895
particularly in terms of

896
00:26:41,895 --> 00:26:47,497
budget preparation.

897
00:26:47,497 --> 00:26:48,526
Um, I think the

898
00:26:48,526 --> 00:26:49,590
current statute

899
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:50,832
says that the mayor or

900
00:26:50,832 --> 00:26:52,181
mayors prepare the budget,

901
00:26:52,181 --> 00:26:53,245
or have prepared

902
00:26:53,245 --> 00:26:54,665
the budget, or commission

903
00:26:54,665 --> 00:26:59,972
the preparation of the budget.

904
00:26:59,972 --> 00:27:00,990
Um, in my opinion,

905
00:27:00,990 --> 00:27:01,737
after years of

906
00:27:01,737 --> 00:27:02,993
budgeting, it's

907
00:27:02,993 --> 00:27:04,181
better to have

908
00:27:04,181 --> 00:27:05,505
someone who works

909
00:27:05,505 --> 00:27:06,557
with finances every day do it, rather than

910
00:27:06,557 --> 00:27:07,745
someone who doesn't

911
00:27:07,745 --> 00:27:11,372
. This is just my

912
00:27:11,372 --> 00:27:12,586
opinion, we don't

913
00:27:12,586 --> 00:27:13,726
necessarily have

914
00:27:13,726 --> 00:27:15,087
to change anything, but for the sake of

915
00:27:15,087 --> 00:27:16,227
... I know it's still

916
00:27:16,227 --> 00:27:16,999
ahead, and I

917
00:27:16,999 --> 00:27:18,397
hope I can

918
00:27:18,397 --> 00:27:19,500
convince Gary

919
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:20,714
to stay for another 5

920
00:27:20,714 --> 00:27:25,144
years. Um, I know that's

921
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,719
not going to happen, and I

922
00:27:26,719 --> 00:27:28,333
want to make sure

923
00:27:28,333 --> 00:27:29,746
we have everything ready

924
00:27:29,746 --> 00:27:31,280
for his successor,

925
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,814
even though he says that...Did you

926
00:27:32,814 --> 00:27:36,938
say 2029?

927
00:27:36,938 --> 00:27:38,383
I was just putting it off

928
00:27:38,383 --> 00:27:40,280
.

929
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,822
Only for a year. So, no,

930
00:27:42,822 --> 00:27:44,365
seriously, um, I think

931
00:27:44,365 --> 00:27:45,354
this process

932
00:27:45,354 --> 00:27:46,343
will start

933
00:27:46,343 --> 00:27:47,744
next year. I

934
00:27:47,744 --> 00:27:49,212
know what will begin

935
00:27:49,212 --> 00:27:50,718
, because that's exactly how I

936
00:27:50,718 --> 00:27:55,062
imagined it. So I want

937
00:27:55,062 --> 00:27:56,046
the person who

938
00:27:56,046 --> 00:27:57,031
actually prepares

939
00:27:57,031 --> 00:27:58,261
the budget...I would like the

940
00:27:58,261 --> 00:27:59,666
documents or the code

941
00:27:59,666 --> 00:28:01,037
to reflect what we are

942
00:28:01,037 --> 00:28:02,162
actually doing

943
00:28:02,162 --> 00:28:03,111
now and have been doing

944
00:28:03,111 --> 00:28:04,411
for the last 10

945
00:28:04,411 --> 00:28:08,311
years.

946
00:28:08,311 --> 00:28:11,744
At least 10.

947
00:28:11,744 --> 00:28:13,068
So, having said that,

948
00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:14,112
the section that I was

949
00:28:14,112 --> 00:28:15,236
looking at is the

950
00:28:15,236 --> 00:28:16,079
section, it's

951
00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:17,123
in

952
00:28:17,123 --> 00:28:18,448
Mayor's Section C 4-4 E,

953
00:28:18,448 --> 00:28:19,653
regarding the preparation of the

954
00:28:19,653 --> 00:28:23,959
budget by the mayor. I don't

955
00:28:23,959 --> 00:28:24,910
want to give

956
00:28:24,910 --> 00:28:26,495
the impression that I'm abdicating

957
00:28:26,527 --> 00:28:28,205
responsibility. I

958
00:28:28,205 --> 00:28:29,247
want it

959
00:28:29,247 --> 00:28:30,558
written so that the mayor

960
00:28:30,558 --> 00:28:31,903
still has control

961
00:28:31,903 --> 00:28:33,180
and can

962
00:28:33,180 --> 00:28:34,356
come in and

963
00:28:34,356 --> 00:28:38,644
audit the budget at any time, and that

964
00:28:38,644 --> 00:28:39,864
responsibility

965
00:28:39,864 --> 00:28:43,471
should not change.

966
00:28:43,471 --> 00:28:44,395
Uh, the mayor needs to

967
00:28:44,395 --> 00:28:45,415
do some

968
00:28:45,415 --> 00:28:46,690
consistent

969
00:28:46,690 --> 00:28:50,229
budget review. But I want it to

970
00:28:50,229 --> 00:28:51,594
reflect what

971
00:28:51,594 --> 00:28:52,959
we are doing now and have

972
00:28:52,959 --> 00:28:57,749
done before. This, this,

973
00:28:57,749 --> 00:28:59,810
so, uh...

974
00:28:59,810 --> 00:29:01,007
This probably goes back to

975
00:29:01,007 --> 00:29:02,275
when we didn't

976
00:29:02,275 --> 00:29:03,121
have city

977
00:29:03,121 --> 00:29:04,530
managers, and, you know,

978
00:29:04,530 --> 00:29:06,565
I talked to the mayor.

979
00:29:06,565 --> 00:29:07,719
I remember Mayor Pierce

980
00:29:07,719 --> 00:29:08,944
bringing in a

981
00:29:08,944 --> 00:29:10,680
three-page budget. This is what the

982
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,009
budget is. Mayor

983
00:29:12,009 --> 00:29:13,279
Gallo always made

984
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:16,361
the budget himself. Uh

985
00:29:16,361 --> 00:29:17,371
, maybe there are a

986
00:29:17,371 --> 00:29:18,561
few more sections in the

987
00:29:18,561 --> 00:29:19,823
charter that we

988
00:29:19,823 --> 00:29:22,587
should look at. I'm not

989
00:29:22,587 --> 00:29:23,592
talking about a massive

990
00:29:23,592 --> 00:29:24,528
rewriting of

991
00:29:24,528 --> 00:29:26,219
the charter. But if you're

992
00:29:26,219 --> 00:29:26,908
going to

993
00:29:26,908 --> 00:29:28,089
review, it makes

994
00:29:28,089 --> 00:29:29,369
sense to do so if

995
00:29:29,369 --> 00:29:30,682
you have three or four

996
00:29:30,682 --> 00:29:31,437
sections that

997
00:29:31,437 --> 00:29:32,717
need updating

998
00:29:32,717 --> 00:29:33,950
. We can do this

999
00:29:33,950 --> 00:29:35,109
in one

1000
00:29:35,109 --> 00:29:36,006
bylaw resolution because a

1001
00:29:36,006 --> 00:29:37,136
bylaw resolution is

1002
00:29:37,136 --> 00:29:38,207
adopted differently

1003
00:29:38,207 --> 00:29:39,196
than bylaws. They

1004
00:29:39,196 --> 00:29:39,955
also need to

1005
00:29:39,955 --> 00:29:40,606
be sent to

1006
00:29:40,606 --> 00:29:41,528
Annapolis, not for

1007
00:29:41,528 --> 00:29:42,532
review or change, but

1008
00:29:42,532 --> 00:29:43,508
at least to

1009
00:29:43,508 --> 00:29:44,539
make sure

1010
00:29:44,539 --> 00:29:45,723
they are recorded. So it

1011
00:29:45,723 --> 00:29:46,835
makes sense to approach

1012
00:29:46,835 --> 00:29:47,514
this a little more

1013
00:29:47,514 --> 00:29:48,471
globally than

1014
00:29:48,471 --> 00:29:49,676
looking at one

1015
00:29:49,676 --> 00:29:50,880
section at a time, because that's quite

1016
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,503
cumbersome. We

1017
00:29:52,503 --> 00:29:53,646
may have other things

1018
00:29:53,646 --> 00:29:54,788
that state that certain

1019
00:29:54,788 --> 00:29:55,784
people do them,

1020
00:29:55,784 --> 00:29:56,956
even though in reality that is

1021
00:29:56,956 --> 00:29:59,049
no longer the case. So it would be

1022
00:29:59,049 --> 00:30:00,427
helpful if elected

1023
00:30:00,427 --> 00:30:01,323
officials

1024
00:30:01,323 --> 00:30:02,426
would look at this too and

1025
00:30:02,426 --> 00:30:03,666
see if there is anything

1026
00:30:03,666 --> 00:30:04,975
that raises questions

1027
00:30:04,975 --> 00:30:06,216
or something that you have never

1028
00:30:06,216 --> 00:30:07,594
seen or would like to

1029
00:30:07,594 --> 00:30:08,731
change, and then we

1030
00:30:08,731 --> 00:30:09,971
can discuss it

1031
00:30:09,971 --> 00:30:14,809
all together.

1032
00:30:14,809 --> 00:30:16,231
Yes, thank you for saying

1033
00:30:16,231 --> 00:30:17,618
that, because that's what I was leading up to

1034
00:30:17,618 --> 00:30:18,828
, to have you

1035
00:30:18,828 --> 00:30:20,179
evaluate it with your own perspective,

1036
00:30:20,179 --> 00:30:22,562
because obviously you're going to be the ones

1037
00:30:22,598 --> 00:30:23,914
making the decisions,

1038
00:30:23,914 --> 00:30:25,337
but I wanted to at least get

1039
00:30:25,337 --> 00:30:32,679
it started. Is this

1040
00:30:32,679 --> 00:30:35,517
acceptable? I thought I had a

1041
00:30:35,617 --> 00:30:38,461
great idea there.

1042
00:30:38,461 --> 00:30:39,754
And I think that's how

1043
00:30:39,754 --> 00:30:40,616
a lot of

1044
00:30:40,616 --> 00:30:41,776
government agencies

1045
00:30:41,776 --> 00:30:42,937
that are bigger than

1046
00:30:42,937 --> 00:30:44,230
New Windsor, say,

1047
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:45,391
twenty or more

1048
00:30:45,391 --> 00:30:46,617
years ago, work—the city

1049
00:30:46,617 --> 00:30:47,877
government prepares

1050
00:30:47,877 --> 00:30:48,806
a budget because they

1051
00:30:48,806 --> 00:30:50,132
know when to

1052
00:30:50,132 --> 00:30:51,425
replace equipment,

1053
00:30:51,425 --> 00:30:52,752
when to buy,

1054
00:30:52,752 --> 00:30:54,792
how much salt costs.

1055
00:30:54,792 --> 00:30:55,882
I can't say

1056
00:30:55,882 --> 00:30:57,137
how much the salt costs,

1057
00:30:57,137 --> 00:30:58,261
but I know Wayne

1058
00:30:58,261 --> 00:30:59,582
could tell us,

1059
00:30:59,582 --> 00:31:00,342
and then they

1060
00:31:00,342 --> 00:31:01,399
present it to the

1061
00:31:01,399 --> 00:31:02,622
mayor and council, and we

1062
00:31:02,622 --> 00:31:04,480
approve it.

1063
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,682
Yeah, again, I

1064
00:31:05,682 --> 00:31:08,018
just...whoever succeeds me

1065
00:31:08,053 --> 00:31:09,187
in 6 years, I don't

1066
00:31:09,187 --> 00:31:10,389
want them to have to

1067
00:31:10,389 --> 00:31:11,317
deal with my

1068
00:31:11,317 --> 00:31:21,023
problems. He doesn't

1069
00:31:21,023 --> 00:31:23,226
object. He doesn't

1070
00:31:23,226 --> 00:31:28,596
say "no." OK.

1071
00:31:28,596 --> 00:31:30,486
So, okay. Thank you

1072
00:31:30,486 --> 00:31:32,268
all. And let's take

1073
00:31:32,268 --> 00:31:34,710
a look. That's all

1074
00:31:34,710 --> 00:31:35,995
we have for questions...

1075
00:31:35,995 --> 00:31:37,080
Want to

1076
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,231
go through them quickly? Future

1077
00:31:38,231 --> 00:31:38,927
meetings?

1078
00:31:38,927 --> 00:31:39,314
Yes.

1079
00:31:39,314 --> 00:31:40,573
Future meetings.

1080
00:31:40,573 --> 00:31:41,751
Wednesday, October 7—

1081
00:31:41,751 --> 00:31:42,916
council meeting.

1082
00:31:42,916 --> 00:31:44,815
Monday, October 19—

1083
00:31:44,815 --> 00:31:46,776
working session. And on

1084
00:31:46,776 --> 00:31:48,424
November 4th, the next

1085
00:31:48,424 --> 00:31:51,324
council meeting.

1086
00:31:51,324 --> 00:31:52,262
And I don't usually

1087
00:31:52,262 --> 00:31:53,434
always come to the

1088
00:31:53,434 --> 00:31:54,507
working sessions, but I

1089
00:31:54,507 --> 00:31:55,780
know I won't be

1090
00:31:55,780 --> 00:32:00,322
at the October session.

1091
00:32:00,322 --> 00:32:02,143
OK. I had

1092
00:32:02,143 --> 00:32:02,975
one thing...this

1093
00:32:02,975 --> 00:32:06,068
invitation. If I

1094
00:32:06,068 --> 00:32:07,329
can find him

1095
00:32:07,329 --> 00:32:10,981
again. We

1096
00:32:10,981 --> 00:32:12,035
actually have a new

1097
00:32:12,035 --> 00:32:14,954
business, uh...

1098
00:32:14,954 --> 00:32:16,456
So this is our camping and

1099
00:32:16,456 --> 00:32:19,256
canoeing on Falls Lake.

1100
00:32:19,256 --> 00:32:20,408
I'll have to

1101
00:32:20,408 --> 00:32:21,829
do it.

1102
00:32:21,829 --> 00:32:23,237
Councilman Schultz, I'm

1103
00:32:23,237 --> 00:32:24,610
referring to the new business

1104
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:25,913
that's moving into the

1105
00:32:25,913 --> 00:32:28,972
Brotherhood Center.

1106
00:32:28,972 --> 00:32:30,366
Yes. Yes, we received an

1107
00:32:30,366 --> 00:32:31,668
email about

1108
00:32:31,668 --> 00:32:32,434
this.

1109
00:32:32,434 --> 00:32:33,510
What will happen there? Did

1110
00:32:33,510 --> 00:32:34,830
you get one?

1111
00:32:34,830 --> 00:32:35,229
Yes. Did

1112
00:32:35,229 --> 00:32:36,120
you receive this

1113
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:36,913
invitation?

1114
00:32:36,913 --> 00:32:37,826
I didn't

1115
00:32:37,826 --> 00:32:39,093
need it. It looks like they

1116
00:32:39,093 --> 00:32:40,327
sent it out to everyone,

1117
00:32:40,327 --> 00:32:42,331
but I'm not sure.

1118
00:32:42,331 --> 00:32:43,681
Oh, yes.

1119
00:32:43,681 --> 00:32:44,711
Find him.

1120
00:32:44,711 --> 00:32:51,033
Yes, I got it. Thank you.

1121
00:32:51,033 --> 00:32:52,350
So, on September 18th, a couple of

1122
00:32:52,350 --> 00:32:53,632
days ago, I received an

1123
00:32:53,632 --> 00:32:54,984
email from

1124
00:32:54,984 --> 00:32:56,301
Allison Redner, she's

1125
00:32:56,301 --> 00:32:57,341
writing on

1126
00:32:57,341 --> 00:32:58,104
behalf of CMMB, which is the

1127
00:32:58,104 --> 00:32:59,143
Catholic

1128
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:00,357
Medical Missions Board, Inc., a

1129
00:33:00,357 --> 00:33:01,882
global

1130
00:33:01,916 --> 00:33:03,164
health and

1131
00:33:03,164 --> 00:33:04,551
development organization that has been serving

1132
00:33:04,551 --> 00:33:05,764
communities around the

1133
00:33:05,764 --> 00:33:15,152
world for over 100 years.

1134
00:33:15,152 --> 00:33:15,855
She wanted to

1135
00:33:15,855 --> 00:33:16,974
introduce herself and

1136
00:33:16,974 --> 00:33:18,093
the company as a new

1137
00:33:18,093 --> 00:33:19,341
neighbor in New Windsor

1138
00:33:19,341 --> 00:33:20,460
, and here it says, "We

1139
00:33:20,460 --> 00:33:21,707
have opened a new

1140
00:33:21,707 --> 00:33:22,954
drug distribution center in New

1141
00:33:22,954 --> 00:33:23,849
Windsor,

1142
00:33:23,849 --> 00:33:24,361
operating out of a

1143
00:33:24,361 --> 00:33:25,161
leased

1144
00:33:25,161 --> 00:33:26,248
space from the Church of the

1145
00:33:26,248 --> 00:33:31,671
Brethren." In short

1146
00:33:31,671 --> 00:33:32,792
, she has an

1147
00:33:32,792 --> 00:33:34,330
invitation for all of

1148
00:33:34,330 --> 00:33:35,534
us for Thursday,

1149
00:33:35,534 --> 00:33:36,743
October 22nd. I have no

1150
00:33:36,743 --> 00:33:38,170
information about the time.

1151
00:33:38,170 --> 00:33:38,559
Yes.

1152
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:39,495
But I plan

1153
00:33:39,495 --> 00:33:40,898
to visit it, Kim.

1154
00:33:40,898 --> 00:33:42,199
So,

1155
00:33:42,199 --> 00:33:43,095
Councilman Schultz's position.

1156
00:33:43,095 --> 00:33:44,198
Let us know when you

1157
00:33:44,198 --> 00:33:45,218
'll

1158
00:33:45,218 --> 00:33:45,982
RSVP,

1159
00:33:45,982 --> 00:33:47,086
ask her about the time,

1160
00:33:47,086 --> 00:33:47,526
because yes.

1161
00:33:47,526 --> 00:33:48,746
I'll try to go too

1162
00:33:48,746 --> 00:33:50,929
if I'm in town.

1163
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:52,260
So she hoped

1164
00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:53,490
to meet everyone

1165
00:33:53,490 --> 00:33:56,151
who wanted to come. I

1166
00:33:56,151 --> 00:33:57,325
thought it would be

1167
00:33:57,325 --> 00:33:59,181
good to visit. So

1168
00:33:59,181 --> 00:34:00,402
I'll contact her and

1169
00:34:00,402 --> 00:34:01,814
tell her I'll definitely be

1170
00:34:01,814 --> 00:34:05,303
there. And if you're interested

1171
00:34:05,303 --> 00:34:06,716
, I'll find out the date

1172
00:34:06,716 --> 00:34:09,266
and time, and we'll see.

1173
00:34:09,266 --> 00:34:10,045
From the way

1174
00:34:10,045 --> 00:34:11,106
her

1175
00:34:11,106 --> 00:34:12,136
email was worded,

1176
00:34:12,136 --> 00:34:12,947
it seems they are still

1177
00:34:12,947 --> 00:34:13,827
being determined.

1178
00:34:13,827 --> 00:34:15,242
So, that's all I have

1179
00:34:15,242 --> 00:34:16,587
before going into

1180
00:34:16,587 --> 00:34:18,068
closed session. Are there any

1181
00:34:18,068 --> 00:34:19,309
questions about

1182
00:34:19,309 --> 00:34:20,617
any upcoming events

1183
00:34:20,617 --> 00:34:22,579
or...

1184
00:34:22,579 --> 00:34:23,000
No.

1185
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,196
questions.

1186
00:34:24,196 --> 00:34:29,114
OK. Uh... Oh

1187
00:34:29,114 --> 00:34:30,472
, in case anyone's wondering,

1188
00:34:30,472 --> 00:34:31,423
I was asked to

1189
00:34:31,423 --> 00:34:32,645
mention that tomorrow

1190
00:34:32,645 --> 00:34:33,868
Uncle Maddie's is sponsoring a

1191
00:34:33,868 --> 00:34:35,022
talk by Sam Riley,

1192
00:34:35,022 --> 00:34:36,245
who, if his name

1193
00:34:36,245 --> 00:34:37,603
were anything else, would be Sam

1194
00:34:37,603 --> 00:34:38,826
Shriver Riley, a very

1195
00:34:38,826 --> 00:34:40,150
active member of the

1196
00:34:40,150 --> 00:34:41,271
Shriver family from Union

1197
00:34:41,271 --> 00:34:42,426
Mills, who will be giving

1198
00:34:42,426 --> 00:34:43,444
a presentation on

1199
00:34:43,444 --> 00:34:44,497
taverns in

1200
00:34:44,497 --> 00:34:47,835
Carroll County.

1201
00:34:47,835 --> 00:34:49,161
Oh, cool.

1202
00:34:49,161 --> 00:34:50,139
Taverns along

1203
00:34:50,139 --> 00:34:51,398
Tavern Road or

1204
00:34:51,398 --> 00:34:52,503
something. I'm not exactly

1205
00:34:52,503 --> 00:34:54,478
sure. It will be at

1206
00:34:54,478 --> 00:34:57,101
Uncle Maddie's from 6:30 to 8:00. From

1207
00:34:57,101 --> 00:35:00,091
6:00 to 7:30.

1208
00:35:01,412 --> 00:35:02,089
There is a

1209
00:35:02,089 --> 00:35:03,173
registration page on the Carroll Library page, but

1210
00:35:03,173 --> 00:35:06,578
I don't have it.

1211
00:35:06,578 --> 00:35:07,512
Uncle Maddie's is well

1212
00:35:07,512 --> 00:35:08,546
known in the beer

1213
00:35:08,546 --> 00:35:09,680
community for its

1214
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,980
wide selection of very

1215
00:35:10,980 --> 00:35:12,813
good beers.

1216
00:35:12,813 --> 00:35:14,114
I'll share this

1217
00:35:14,114 --> 00:35:15,345
on the city page now.

1218
00:35:15,345 --> 00:35:17,973
Yes, put it there.

1219
00:35:17,973 --> 00:35:19,098
I had my first

1220
00:35:19,098 --> 00:35:20,423
glass of Orval...what's it

1221
00:35:20,423 --> 00:35:22,494
called? Was it

1222
00:35:22,494 --> 00:35:24,848
Trappist beer?

1223
00:35:24,848 --> 00:35:28,424
Yes.

1224
00:35:28,424 --> 00:35:30,634
It's a brave new world.

1225
00:35:30,634 --> 00:35:32,693
Taverns and wine. This is

1226
00:35:32,693 --> 00:35:33,412
interesting.

1227
00:35:33,412 --> 00:35:34,210
And bourbon.

1228
00:35:34,210 --> 00:35:35,603
I also drank some

1229
00:35:35,603 --> 00:35:36,656
bourbon there.

1230
00:35:36,656 --> 00:35:38,731
I know. I've

1231
00:35:38,767 --> 00:35:39,693
liked it ever since.

1232
00:35:39,693 --> 00:35:41,619
speech We are talking

1233
00:35:41,619 --> 00:35:42,637
about the other property

1234
00:35:42,637 --> 00:35:43,541
you wanted to

1235
00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:44,853
talk about. OK.

1236
00:35:44,853 --> 00:35:45,931
Right. It was

1237
00:35:45,931 --> 00:35:46,927
just an intervention on

1238
00:35:46,927 --> 00:35:47,540
my part.

1239
00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:50,990
OK. OK. If

1240
00:35:50,990 --> 00:35:52,304
there are no other questions

1241
00:35:52,304 --> 00:35:53,483
or comments regarding

1242
00:35:53,483 --> 00:35:54,629
upcoming events, I

1243
00:35:54,629 --> 00:35:55,775
will accept the motion

1244
00:35:55,775 --> 00:35:57,022
to move to a closed

1245
00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:59,372
session. According to the

1246
00:35:59,372 --> 00:36:00,373
general

1247
00:36:00,373 --> 00:36:02,138
provisions, article

1248
00:36:02,138 --> 00:36:03,998
3-305, paragraph b, subparagraph 1

1249
00:36:03,998 --> 00:36:07,643
. Namely: to discuss

1250
00:36:07,643 --> 00:36:08,431
the appointment of an

1251
00:36:08,431 --> 00:36:09,631
official to a

1252
00:36:09,631 --> 00:36:10,967
vacant seat on the council

1253
00:36:10,967 --> 00:36:11,449
.

1254
00:36:11,449 --> 00:36:12,912
I am making this proposal

1255
00:36:12,912 --> 00:36:13,050
.

1256
00:36:13,050 --> 00:36:14,329
Good. Proposal

1257
00:36:14,329 --> 00:36:14,799
regarding...

1258
00:36:14,799 --> 00:36:15,554
I support it.

1259
00:36:15,554 --> 00:36:16,168
The proposal

1260
00:36:16,168 --> 00:36:17,719
was supported. Who is "for"?

1261
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:18,907
Is that you, Don?

1262
00:36:18,907 --> 00:36:19,984
By.

1263
00:36:19,984 --> 00:36:20,729
OK.

1264
00:36:20,729 --> 00:36:22,500
Good. Is anyone

1265
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:23,203
against it?

1266
00:36:23,203 --> 00:36:24,220
OK.

1267
00:36:24,220 --> 00:36:25,065
Let's move to a

1268
00:36:25,065 --> 00:37:41,043
closed session.

1269
00:37:41,043 --> 00:37:42,492
Ugh.
