[23:01] I raise money or have fundraisers. I apply for grants. Um if I need to apply

[23:07] for a grant where they need me to have a 501c3 um umbrella, I'm fiscally

[23:14] sponsored by an organization like that in New York City, which a lot of

[23:17] independent dance artists are. So, if you want to understand that more, I can

[23:22] tell you more about it. But >> I think I think that um none of us have

[23:27] a problem with you using the space and we appreciate you coming before us to

[23:32] ask for permission. Um I think that the the fee structure that Debbie quoted is

[23:38] really intended for commercial productions.

[23:42] » We've had filming done here, for example, by you know, movies and

[23:46] television shows, >> right? And um that's what the the fee is

[23:49] designed for. Certainly, we want to support our local residents and their

[23:54] independent um not for-profit uh artistic enterprises.

[24:00] So, I have absolutely no problem. And I'll ask if any of the other members of

[24:06] the >> I think Mrs. Crawford would be very

[24:09] happy. >> I agree.

[24:10] » Was she a dance fan? Mrs. Crawford's arts. Yeah.

[24:15] Um, I have a comment. We just want to say one, you picked a beautiful location

[24:19] for this film. [laughter] We're really happy that you're using the

[24:22] park and will you give us a link so we can see it afterwards?

[24:26] » Absolutely. [laughter] 100%. So, we'd love to be able to see that too, Deb.

[24:31] I've hired I've hired a filmmaker who's a man who works in the Hudson Valley and

[24:35] he's um he makes beautiful films and the two other dancers that I'm performing

[24:40] with are incredible people and um I'm excited about you know we we we

[24:46] choreographed a piece that we have been showing people in small um studio

[24:52] sharings and about 50% of the people we that witnessed it said this should be a

[24:56] film and sometimes there's things that aren't meant to be on stage they're

[25:00] meant to be something else. So, this is the evolution of it, but of course,

[25:03] you'll get to see it. Yeah. >> What What was your question, Debbie?

[25:06] » What if we can be able to see the the link to see the film after

[25:10] » the website? >> Absolutely.

[25:11] » Well, that we have a we have a movie screen here.

[25:13] » We could do a showing. We could have we could have search lights and popcorn. We

[25:18] could do the whole thing. >> You should You should consider

[25:21] talking to us about doing shows here. We have PE we have the Westchester Phil

[25:26] Harmonic in the winter downstairs. Terrific acoustics. Okay.

[25:31] » We have shows out here every week. >> Okay. I'm Yeah. I'm in to do a summer

[25:37] dance. >> Debbie have dancing on the website.

[25:42] » There we go. Debbie saw a piece that I made at the Katona Museum of Art. That

[25:47] was one of the first performances that happened coming out of the pandemic when

[25:52] we still weren't allowed to perform indoors. So, I made a a large thing that

[25:57] people could follow around and around the grounds of the of the museum there.

[26:01] So, outdoor [snorts] dancing is fun. >> It's hard, but it's fun.

[26:04] » It's beautiful. >> Yeah. Thank you so much. I really

[26:07] appreciate your time >> and uh yeah, I'll be in the in the park

[26:11] next week. All goes to plan. [laughter] All right.

[26:15] And if it's raining, >> come back,

[26:18] » you know. Yeah, we'll come we'll make another another day. But if it's

[26:21] drizzling, we'll do it. We'll still do it in a little bit of rain because it'll

[26:24] be that'll give a different effect. But yeah,

[26:27] » no slip. >> Yeah, exactly. [clears throat]

[26:29] » There's a very famous dance scene. Dancing in the rain.

[26:32] » Singing. >> Yes. [clears throat]

[26:36] » There's a few actually people dancing. >> I'm thinking of the one with

[26:39] » Yeah. With Jean Kelly. >> Jean Kelly himself.

[26:42] » Jing. >> Thank you so much.

[26:45] » Well, he was dancing while he was >> dancing and know that that brain was

[26:49] actually milk. So, I think we can I don't know that we need a formal vote.

[26:53] We certainly have our permission. Correct.

[26:55] » Okay. >> Thank you. Thank you very very much. I

[26:58] really appreciate it. Thank you for coming, Megan. Thanks for your time.

[27:01] » You're welcome. >> Okay.

[27:04] » Yes. >> Uh, next item, resolution to

[27:10] appoint reappoint Dr. Yiannis Richards to serve as a member of the Righttown

[27:16] Board of Assessment Review. Um,

[27:22] I don't think I don't know that we need any further explanation. Yish has been

[27:27] on the board of assessment review for many years, serves adequately and has

[27:32] been recommended to be reappointed uh by the uh by the village of Portchester

[27:39] and unless somebody has a further comment.

[27:43] » How long has he served on the board or board? He was on the board of assessment

[27:49] review when I was elected supervisor. So it's at

[27:56] least 10 years. >> He's done very good service for the

[27:59] town. >> So may I have a motion in a second?

[28:03] » I'll make the motion. >> Second.

[28:05] » Call the role, please. >> Council person Freriedman.

[28:08] » Yes. >> Council person Jaffy.

[28:10] » Yes. >> Council person CIA.

[28:12] » Yes. >> Council person Nardy.

[28:14] » Yes. >> And supervisor Zuckerman.

[28:16] » Yes.

[28:21] Uh the next item is also a taxert.

[28:30] » This one is yours, Jeff.

[28:34] » This is a >> This is a settlement of uh two Putnham

[28:38] Avenue in Portchester. >> Yeah, this Hello everybody. Jeff Binder,

[28:42] town attorney, special counsel for tax matters as well. Um, this is a very

[28:47] minor matter. Um, this is a restaurant in uh in Portchester. Um,

[28:55] the town refund is dimminimous. The village refund is about $1,400

[29:00] and the school refund is about $2,900. This takes care of 2020 through 2023.

[29:07] » And they didn't file for 2425. Okay.

[29:13] Unless there's further discussion. May I have a motion in a second?

[29:16] » This is the two Putinham Avenue one that we're looking at.

[29:19] » Yeah.

[29:23] » So moved.

[29:30] » Okay. So move. >> Second.

[29:34] » Please call the role. >> Council person Freriedman.

[29:37] » Yes. >> Council person Jaffy. Yes.

[29:39] » Council person Sier. >> Council [clears throat] person Arty.

[29:42] » Yes. >> And supervisor Zuckerman.

[29:43] » Yes.

[29:47] uh resolution to engage DCC which is Delado Consulting

[29:57] and they uh it's actually piggyback on the municipal contract between Delado

[30:02] and the village of Portchester um providing information technology to

[30:07] the uh town of Ry. Debbie, you want to explain this?

[30:10] » Yes. Uh our original

[30:15] uh contract with DCC was a piggyback on Portchester's contract. That contract

[30:21] ended. Uh Portchester issued an RFP. There were six proposals submitted. Um

[30:29] all but one was non-compliant or non-responsive.

[30:35] uh DCC, which uh has been the service provider,

[30:40] was is is was and is compliant. Um and their hourly rate has not changed. It

[30:48] was $200 an hour and it remains $200 an hour. So, this is a uh a new contract.

[30:55] It's a three-year contract and I'm recommending that we adopt.

[31:01] I would also add that I've checked and we are pretty much on budget right now.

[31:07] So things are running as anticipated. [snorts]

[31:11] » May I have a motion in a second? >> Can I can I ask a question?

[31:15] » Let's do a motion in a second then ask a question.

[31:17] » Okay. >> Motion in a second.

[31:19] » So moved. >> Second.

[31:22] » Question. >> I do have a question. Um how is it that

[31:25] you said six out of seven were non-compliant or five out of six were

[31:27] non-compliant. Was there something in the RFP that wasn't understood or that

[31:31] wasn't clear that only the person that already held the contract was actually

[31:34] able to submit a proposal that complied? I think the um

[31:41] uh the requirements of um sieges and I always have trouble remembering what

[31:46] sieges stands for when it isn't in front of me but it is essentially the rules

[31:51] and regulations dictating how um information technology is handled around

[31:57] the justice court and police matters. Um and there are very stringent thresholds

[32:04] and requirements set forth by that agency and those were

[32:08] in the RFP and um they were not met. >> Okay. Thank you for clarifying that.

[32:16] » Is there is there a cap on this or is it um how does this work?

[32:20] » The cap is our budget >> is our budget. So we set we adopt a

[32:23] budget every year and >> um our um we we put it support in that

[32:31] budget and uh we are held accountable to that.

[32:34] » Okay.

[32:38] » Any further questions or discussion? Nope. If not, please call the role.

[32:42] » Council person Freriedman. >> Yes.

[32:44] » Council person Jaffy. >> Yes.

[32:46] » Council person Sier. >> Yes.

[32:48] » Council person Arty. >> Yes.

[32:49] » And supervisor Zuckerman. >> Yes. Next resolution is authorizing a

[32:53] payment to Westchester Joint Waterworks for replacement of a pipe

[32:59] » under what will be our new Honor Creek Bridge. Debbie, it's all yours.

[33:06] » There are two homes that receive their fresh water with this pipe. Um, so to

[33:13] fail to replace it would be to deny two residential properties freshwater. Uh

[33:21] this is a um the estimate which I believe is 98,000 and change um is just

[33:29] that it's a time and materials estimate. The rate is set by um the Westchester

[33:35] Joint Waterworks which issues a bid every year for a contractor to perform

[33:40] these services. So the rate is already set. It's not negotiable. Uh the

[33:45] requirement of our doing work in this area is that we must do we must comply

[33:52] with the Westchester Joint Waterworks um agreement. The the um organization is a

[33:59] consortium of municipalities. Um so that's set. I would also add that

[34:07] we have been including a a utility expense of $100,000

[34:13] in our estimates uh for the last several years, ever

[34:17] since we learned that we were going to have to do this. So, it's baked into the

[34:21] cake as it were. Um, and as I put into my memo to the council,

[34:27] um, we have been asking, as as you're all aware, we were advised by our design

[34:35] engineer that the, um, that the in due to inflation just alone, our estimate

[34:43] for the project is uh, a mill about a million dollars more than it was award

[34:50] than than the budget in 2021 when we got this award.

[34:53] And we have we were notified by the Department of Transportation that our

[34:59] request for additional funding has been granted. And so we are um in the process

[35:05] of we're we're going to be receiving a uh

[35:09] revised agreement from the Department of Transportation which will cover this

[35:14] cost. >> Okay.

[35:15] My question is is that even [clears throat] though it's the

[35:18] Westchester joints line and we're replacing it, I imagine we're replacing

[35:23] because of the naturally because of the bridge and the line's not broken or

[35:26] anything. Further down the line, if anything is that line is compromised,

[35:31] are we responsible for it or is Westchester Joints Waterworks

[35:34] responsible for it?

[35:38] My assumption is if we haven't done anything that

[35:44] » Yeah, >> that would be theirs.

[35:45] » It would be theirs, but I I think we would have to figure

[35:49] » It's their pipe. >> It's their we have to pay for it because

[35:52] we're re relocating it because of the new bridge

[35:54] » voluntarily. >> That's that's understandable. But then

[35:57] going forward, if anything happens to it, it's their responsibility. That's

[36:00] what I'm getting to. >> Okay. And and just to clarify if I heard

[36:05] you correctly um with this new funding that we'll be getting because the cost

[36:10] has increased significantly versus the original estimate that is going to cover

[36:15] this. So this is not going to be an outlay that the town is actually making

[36:18] ultimately that we're going to get >> correct. Well that's right that the

[36:22] 100,000 for the utility was built into our ask of a little bit more than

[36:28] » granted. And was that for a 100% of the project? Was there a match with that

[36:32] project? >> The project is essentially 95% 5%. So

[36:36] the local match was assumed to be 5%. >> Okay. Okay. So this is not actually an

[36:43] outlay for our taxpayers. This is an outlay that we need to do that. But we

[36:47] will get that money back. This 100 this $98,000 or whatever the ultimate actual

[36:52] cost. >> I would also add that this is their best

[36:55] guess at what it is going to be. It could be less,

[36:58] » but it also could be more. And it's determined by their time and materials.

[37:04] » Do they have a kind? But they have a somebody in place who gave us this

[37:07] estimate who said that they can do this work now for this money and we're ready

[37:11] to get started on the work now. >> Yeah. I believe the work has to be done

[37:15] before we start the work on our >> So the assumption is that there could be

[37:19] slight variations in cost but it shouldn't double or

[37:22] » That's correct. >> Correct. have a significant change

[37:25] because this is a recent cost estimate that was provided and they were granted

[37:28] or awarded the work. >> The the bid is not for our project

[37:32] specifically. The bid is for any projects that come up in calendar year

[37:37] however they defined their calendar year. So the Westchester joint

[37:41] waterworks bids for this every year and they have

[37:45] somebody engaged to do this work

[37:50] whatever happens to come up. >> Okay. But they got Okay. But they still

[37:53] got an estimate from them on this particular job of what it's going to

[37:56] cost. >> Yeah. The the they worked out the that

[37:59] with our design engineer that we provided,

[38:01] » right? Okay. >> Many many many many sets of plans. This

[38:06] has been going back and forth. >> Okay.

[38:09] Weekly for months. >> Okay.

[38:12] » Thank you. >> Yeah. This project the bid bids are due

[38:15] to be open I think soon, right? Next Thursday.

[38:20] I think next week the the the >> bridge replacement. Yeah.

[38:26] » And we're expecting Debbie Debbie mentioned that we're

[38:30] getting extra money. We've been fighting for extra money for a couple of years

[38:35] now since well over a year since we found out the latest estimates were a

[38:41] million dollars or so more than the original estimates. And I've written

[38:46] letters to the state department of transportation,

[38:52] to our state representatives, to the governor's office,

[38:58] and Debbie got a phone call. So, we're waiting for the paperwork to confirm

[39:06] that the money is there. And they said by the end of the month,

[39:12] didn't they? >> They did say that. And we say that

[39:15] » we shouldn't wait for this to be in writing before we go ahead and vote on

[39:18] this. >> We need to do this work before the

[39:23] bridge work starts. So we really have to do it now.

[39:27] » Um we will the plan is that we are not going to award the contract for the

[39:33] bridge replacement until we've gotten our in writing

[39:39] » revised agreement. >> Okay? Because in the event that we do

[39:43] this work and then something else happens and that doesn't come through,

[39:47] then we spend the money on this work without being able to complete the

[39:50] project potentially. >> Well,

[39:53] » well, that's the >> the bridge has to be replaced because

[39:55] the state's going to acquire it. So, it's really a moot point. The bridge is

[39:59] already >> This is a red flagged bridge.

[40:01] » Red flag. It's done. >> All good.

[40:04] » It has to be done regardless at this point because otherwise if we don't do

[40:07] anything with it, they're going to shut it down.

[40:09] » Thank you. and we would rather they pay for it than we pay for it.

[40:12] » Yeah, understood. >> Um

[40:15] » that's all I had. Um I would add that we've been talking about um passing

[40:20] adopting the resolution to award the contract in September. I think the

[40:25] likelihood is with the DO's due diligence period, it will probably be in

[40:29] October, not in September. >> Maybe.

[40:35] » Maybe. >> Right.

[40:37] with the best information we have at the time.

[40:40] » We we have um I think Mr. Edwards is probably familiar

[40:45] with this term from the military. Hurry up and wait.

[40:49] » So this is um you know my my reference is always keep the wheel

[40:57] turning. Keep the wheel turning. So we have a motion in a second. We're

[41:02] going to vote. Is that correct? >> Yes.

[41:04] » Okay. Please call the RO. >> No, we haven't voted yet.

[41:07] » No, we have to vote. We have a motion in a second, though.

[41:11] » Did we do that already? >> No, we don't.

[41:12] » Okay, >> I'll make the motion.

[41:14] » Second. >> Now we do.

[41:16] » Now, >> now we have a motion to please call the

[41:18] role. >> Council person Freriedman,

[41:20] » yes. >> Council person Jaffy,

[41:22] » yes. >> Council person Sier,

[41:24] » yes. >> Council person Arty,

[41:26] » yes. >> And Supervisor Zuckerman,

[41:28] » yes.

[41:31] This is a beauty. Resolution [laughter]

[41:36] identifying the town supervisor as a responsible local official

[41:40] authorized to access the Department of Transportation's equitable business

[41:44] opportunity system.

[41:48] Another administrative issue. You want to explain this, Debbie, or

[41:53] should we just vote on it unless somebody else wants to be the one?

[41:59] » I I'm happy to explain it. >> I'm glad you're doing it. So when when

[42:04] uh administering >> um New York State DOT projects with

[42:10] federal that are using federal funds, there is a uh a portal that must be

[42:17] accessed to establish that we're paying the correct rates in the correct to the

[42:22] correct entities and that compliance is all

[42:26] entered through that portal. And so we need to open it

[42:32] and the s supervisor Zuckermanman will have the authority to do that and then

[42:37] we will do the rest for him. >> I was just going to ask that. Will you

[42:41] be able to give the password to somebody else? [laughter]

[42:44] » I am not going to hold on to the password. Believe me. Believe me.

[42:48] » I have a motion and a second please. >> So moved. Second.

[42:51] » All in favor? >> I

[42:55] um >> Thank you. I was waiting for a

[42:57] resolution that didn't require

[43:02] » I was wondering who's we've had this discussion [laughter] before.

[43:06] » We have had this discussion before >> but the criteria

[43:11] » varies. It varies. >> It varies depending on your whim.

[43:15] That's the general criteria is that if we're spending money or if

[43:21] it's a an item that I consider of vast importance, we take a roll call.

[43:27] Otherwise, like the minutes and something like this, we

[43:31] » Sorry, I mentioned it >> and we could have already had three roll

[43:34] calls in that time, Randy. But let's move on.

[43:39] Um this one is the um

[43:45] adopting a seeker resolution for a proposed action uh at Crawford Park to

[43:52] put a what we're calling a park support building to replace the storage

[43:59] containers that sit in a very ugly manner on the outskirts of the property.

[44:06] Um we have applying for grants for this and uh in order to secure a grant we

[44:14] have to complete the seeker. In this case, it's what's known as a type two

[44:19] action. And in many cases, actually, we don't

[44:24] there's a question as to whether a resolution is even required, but I

[44:28] always felt that the best practice is to pass a resolution stating that it is a

[44:35] type two action. And um the uh the work for this was done obviously by our

[44:43] environmental consultant who advised us that say type two action and she

[44:47] prepared the resolution. That's Sarah Brown. So if there are no other any if

[44:53] there are no other questions I have a motion and a second.

[44:57] » I have a question. Is there a cost to this?

[45:00] » Is there a cost to doing this to us? >> To do what?

[45:06] » Isn't this to do the So tell me what exactly we're doing.

[45:11] » We're just declaring this to be a type two action.

[45:14] » We're just declaring to be a type two. It doesn't need to be evaluated for

[45:17] anything in terms of environmental or anything like that at this point.

[45:19] » No, it has been by by our environmental. >> It will have to be

[45:24] » or it already has been. >> It has been. That's why we're declaring

[45:27] it a type two. >> Got it. Okay. Understood.

[45:29] » It was a type one or unlisted. Okay. Then we would have

[45:32] » if they've already viewed it and they've decided this is the class, it falls

[45:34] under the type two category. >> Right. If it was if it was either an

[45:38] unlisted action or a type one action, we would have to file an environmental

[45:42] assessment form, which we do not because It's a type two.

[45:46] » Okay. Thank you for that >> motion and a second, please. I'll make

[45:50] the motion. >> Second.

[45:54] » Well, let's call the role. >> She's good.

[45:58] » Council person Freriedman. >> Yes.

[46:00] » Council person Jaffy. >> Yes.

[46:02] » Council person Sier. >> Yes.

[46:05] » Council person Arty. >> Yes.

[46:07] » And supervisor Zuckerman. >> Yes.

[46:10] Uh resolution. monetary resolution. It was

[46:17] actually probably redundant and [laughter] as you stated in your

[46:20] prelude, not even necessary, but just being done out of an abundance of

[46:25] caution. Nevertheless, >> I did it for you.

[46:29] » I appreciate it specifically. >> I appreciate the opportunity to be heard

[46:34] on an individual basis on that issue. >> I just wanted to you to know that I

[46:38] heard you [laughter] >> and I said it tongue and cheek. Um,

[46:44] resolution to engage pond and lake connection

[46:48] with regard to mosquitoes. Debbie, >> Randy is interested in this.

[46:55] » This this matter came up very suddenly um a week ago Wednesday. Uh we received

[47:01] an week Wednesday. We received a an order from the

[47:05] Department of Health with regard to the parcel that is pictured on the screen.

[47:11] Um, it does not have a street address. It is roughly adjacent to Garden Road,

[47:18] which is a paper road. There is actually no road that leads to this parcel. Um,

[47:23] it is a salt marsh. Uh, we were ordered to uh create a uh a

[47:32] plan and engage a licensed service provider

[47:37] uh to remediate a mosquito infestation. um possibly involving fragmitees.

[47:45] Um we have not up until now done anything

[47:50] in terms of maintenance for the salt marsh. It was kind of taking care of

[47:53] itself. Um nor could we reach it if we wanted to take care of it. Um however uh

[48:01] we uh the town of Rye in its capacity as administrator for Rytown Park and

[48:07] co-owner of Rytown Park. We've had a service provider that has been very

[48:13] successfully uh addressing mosquito situation at the pond at Rytown Park. Uh

[48:21] I inherited them when I came into this job in 2016. They're great. So, the

[48:25] first thing I did was I was on the phone with with the Pond and Lake Connection.

[48:30] Um, you have before you a proposal from Pond and Lake Connection um regarding

[48:35] what it might cost to remedi remediate this program. All of that documentation

[48:41] was submitted to the Department of Health. I received a number of questions

[48:45] in response. Uh, answers to those questions were submitted uh the 18th of

[48:52] August. Um, I know they've been read. I haven't received any questions in

[48:57] response. So, good if it goes. At this time, the only thing we can do is apply

[49:03] for permits. We absolutely can apply for a permit from the DEEC. That will cost

[49:09] between $4 and $500. and um we will submit the coordinates of

[49:16] this property to the New York State and they will tell us if we need um a permit

[49:24] for that work and if they do it'll cost roughly $1,500.

[49:29] That's where we are so far. Um, so while this agreement permits us to spend

[49:38] an expense not to exceed $20,000, we are a far cry from spending that

[49:45] amount of money. We're going to take it as it goes. Um,

[49:49] » so the order that required some action within 14 days

[49:55] is simply to provide some documentation >> documentation of our plan of what we

[50:01] proposed to do and that we are putting that plan

[50:06] we're engaging a licensed operator to implement the plans.

[50:11] So is there a timeline about when the actual work is supposed

[50:18] to be done? >> That did not come from the department of

[50:20] health. Um I uh met with the village of a marin yesterday um to discuss what

[50:27] they were doing. Involved in that meeting was also the Westchester land

[50:32] trust which also received one of those orders. Um

[50:36] » Grams. >> Yes. [laughter]

[50:41] So each organization was responding in the way that they saw fit and we

[50:46] discussed perhaps it would be a lot better idea if we worked together on

[50:50] this. >> Um so one of the things I'm going to be

[50:52] exploring is I'll be receiving shortly the village of a Marinx contract with

[50:58] their service provider. I want to take a look at what that looks like. Um, and I

[51:04] also will be uh trying to uh reach out to the deputy commissioner that was

[51:10] responsible for issuing this order so that I can better understand exactly

[51:14] what we need to do. >> Did they I noticed they I mean like like

[51:18] Randy said, um you got 14 days to react to it before you start getting fined.

[51:25] Now that we reacted to it, did they give us a timeline where say, "Okay, you got

[51:28] a certain amount of time?" No. as long as you started the process.

[51:32] » That's okay. Cool. >> We are in compliance with their order.

[51:36] » Good. That's good. Okay. >> I also have a question which is um you

[51:41] said that there's no road access there. So this remediation when it does take

[51:45] place, what does that involve exactly? Do you know?

[51:49] » Like how do they get in there? Is it just that they walk through and there's

[51:51] a place to go? >> One thing I'm not going in there.

[51:54] [laughter] aerial spraying like how how do they get

[51:58] in there too? >> No, not aerial spraying.

[52:00] » Um the pond and lake connection has this really cool amphibious

[52:05] fragmitees mower. >> So they have a send something in that's

[52:11] » they have a piece of equip >> it's a spray that or we don't know what

[52:15] they do. >> You know it's a larvaide but I am not

[52:18] clear if it's a spray. >> Um I've heard a lot about dunks.

[52:24] I I know nothing about this. So, I was just curious. So, they when they gave an

[52:29] estimate, they know how they're going to go in and they're gonna they know.

[52:31] » Oh, yeah. And they provided >> We just [laughter] don't

[52:33] » they've not only Yes. They provided the name of the chemical that they will be

[52:38] using and the backup and the the DEC numbers etc. which I have passed along.

[52:46] And I'm assuming again that they're, you know, again, this is designed to kill

[52:50] the mosquitoes and not impact negatively impact the rest of the environment and

[52:54] exact air. >> Right. Okay.

[52:56] » They can only, >> which is why the f we start with a DEC

[52:59] permit. >> You have to remember that

[53:01] [clears throat] when you talk about environmental, the DEC is on top of this

[53:05] stuff. So, if we get a de if we get a DEC permit, they're going to want to

[53:11] know what's how how it's being done, and they will approve the methodology.

[53:17] » Debbie, I just have a question. I'm having trouble

[53:21] if I if you're going down Taylor's lane. >> Okay, now I need Charlie's help.

[53:29] » Go to South View. >> Okay,

[53:31] » it's right behind you. You know, you overlook

[53:35] the marsh. >> Yeah,

[53:36] » it's the marsh. >> Nobody's going to be able to hear you on

[53:39] the video. >> To the dead end.

[53:41] » No, it's right in the middle. Right near Creek.

[53:45] » It's right the lot's right in the middle.

[53:47] » If you go down Creek Road headed towards the preserve to the land trust

[53:53] » and there's >> it's like if you kept going through

[53:55] those >> right through that guy's property.

[53:57] » That's fascinating. And that's because it's surrounded by land trust

[54:00] properties. >> Correct. We're the That's the only

[54:02] parcel we have inside the land trust. >> How historically did that piece of land

[54:10] get >> historically? I don't know.

[54:13] » Why didn't you give it to the land trust?

[54:15] » Well, actually, Randy, there is a question.

[54:18] » There is a story behind that. If you'll recall, the land trust was negotiating a

[54:24] piece of approximately 200 square foot property,

[54:28] » right, >> to do the bridge. Yep.

[54:32] » That a negotiation that should have taken

[54:35] » five minutes. >> Five minutes took a year and a half.

[54:39] » So, >> and and over $10,000,

[54:42] » right? So, >> and we had to threaten them with eminent

[54:45] domain. >> And we had to threaten them with eminent

[54:47] domain. So, if you may ask, my original thoughts about this property a long time

[54:53] ago were to give it to the land trust, but God knows what would happen if we

[55:01] started negotiating with the land trust about this. So, we still have it. If

[55:05] they want it, I would be happy to talk. >> How did It's just fascinating. How did

[55:09] that end up being property of the town of

[55:13] » I don't know the answer. Charlie might know

[55:15] » the property the property card was from the 60s.

[55:18] » Yeah, it's been like that for a very long time.

[55:20] » It's just very strange. [snorts] >> Can we look? We should look and see who

[55:26] owned it before. >> I don't have any records for us.

[55:30] » We can go. We'll we'll ask our when when our town clerk comes back, we'll ask her

[55:35] to search the records back to 1660. >> A big mistake.

[55:38] » Why not? [laughter] >> Unless they're already boxed up. I like

[55:43] that. >> I hope we can find it so before we spend

[55:45] any more money on it. >> I like that idea a lot.

[55:50] Anyway, let's have a motion in a second.

[55:54] » So moved. >> Second.

[55:57] » Please call the role. >> Council person Freriedman.

[55:59] » Yes. >> Council person Jaffy.

[56:01] » Yes. >> Council person Sier.

[56:03] » Yes. >> Council person Arty.

[56:04] » Yes. >> And Supervisor Zuckman.

[56:06] » Yes. The next two resolutions involve the

[56:10] Association of Towns. Um the first [clears throat] one is in

[56:15] support of the of the New York Association of Towns Bill of Rights,

[56:21] which is basically the Association of Towns is asking each individual town

[56:29] who is a member. And there are over 900 towns in the state of New York, in case

[56:33] you're interested, to pass this resolution,

[56:39] which affirms certain things. I'll just

[56:46] read briefly. Protection and defense of municipal home

[56:50] rule. Local control of land use and zoning free from statewide zoning rules

[56:57] that override the voice of resident taxpayers.

[57:01] Freedom from unfunded mandates. Modernized transparency, accessibility,

[57:07] and engagement. And a meaningful voice in state

[57:10] decisions affecting the hometowns that towns govern, among other things.

[57:19] Um, do

[57:22] does anybody have a comment? Otherwise, may I have a motion in a second?

[57:27] » Make a motion. Second. >> All in favor?

[57:32] » I >> I.

[57:36] And the last one is authorization for a delegate to the

[57:41] legislative meeting of the New York Association of Towns.

[57:45] Uh the association of towns is having a legislative conference and meeting

[57:51] September 22 to 23 and I am going and I believe Debbie is

[57:57] going. Is that correct? And this the the town pardon me the association of towns

[58:04] needs an official resolution uh naming an official delegate and that

[58:09] resolution. The resolution before you names me as

[58:14] the designate and Debbie as the alternate.

[58:19] Any questions?

[58:22] If not, may I have a motion and a second?

[58:26] » Second. >> All in favor? I

[58:29] » enjoy yourself. >> And that ends our resolutions.

[58:33] » Okay. >> Thank you everybody.

[58:36] Um reports. Charlie, do you have an assessor's report? No assessor's report.

[58:42] » Crawford Park. Does Candy have a report? I know that

[58:48] » it's submitted with the agenda. >> Okay. Submitted with the agenda.

[58:53] Um,

[58:57] Vic is here. >> Uh, Vic may be on Zoom.

[59:03] » Vic, are you on Zoom?

[59:07] » Hi. >> I hear you, Vic.

[59:09] » We can't see you, but we hear you. >> We hear you.

[59:13] » This camera's off.

[59:38] Oh, questions.

[1:00:10] » [snorts]

[1:00:13] » Which stone is this, Vic? >> The replacement stone.

[1:00:17] » It's the It's the large decorative stone.

[1:00:20] » The cemetery. >> Yes.

[1:00:21] » Yes. Okay. We're talking Crawford Park. I thought Vick is also our cemetery guy.

[1:00:27] Okay. Yes. Thank you.

[1:00:47] Oh, good. Okay.

[1:00:58] I'm sure

[1:01:17] that it can't be cut up in place.

[1:01:30] All right.

[1:01:36] » A large tree.

[1:01:52] pretty big. Yeah, I saw the pictures. All right.

[1:01:59] Excuse me. All right. The uh the path came out

[1:02:04] really really nice, Vic.

[1:02:29] I'm gonna I will uh bring I'll bring up the picture.

[1:02:37] That worked. Okay. So that's what our our path looks like everyone

[1:02:43] and um I'm what I'm showing is a flyer um that uh we have uh around and our

[1:02:50] website is open for people to donate pavers for our

[1:02:55] path.

[1:02:59] » I think that's great. What is the price of the pavers?

[1:03:04] » 300. We decide >> 250

[1:03:08] » chance. Can you hear me? I think it's 200 and it turns out, thank you very

[1:03:13] much. It's 200 for the 4x8 pavers and our uh contractor surprised us and also

[1:03:24] put in 8 by8 pavers. So, we didn't realize we were getting two different

[1:03:29] sizes of pavers. So, we put that in at 500.

[1:03:34] So 200 and 500. >> Okay.

[1:03:37] » So people know that's the removal of the PA, having it etched and then

[1:03:42] reinstalled. That's the whole package, right?

[1:03:46] » We have blank pavers installed. I'm sorry. You want to take this, Vic? Okay.

[1:03:51] So,

[1:04:02] » okay. >> So, it's a fresh paver. So, we've got

[1:04:07] blanks. >> Um the uh people who order

[1:04:12] » Yeah. pavers. Uh we'll we'll have them delivered in bunches

[1:04:17] » so that it's cost effective and then we'll put in

[1:04:19] » I'm not going to do them one at a time. >> We we right we uh we also have this

[1:04:24] program at Righttown Park. >> Yes.

[1:04:26] » And the cost there is a little bit more. >> Yes. Yes. the donations

[1:04:32] are are higher and we've at Rytown Park we are uh our donations are are

[1:04:39] well over $10,000.

[1:04:44] » Good. Which basically pays for the

[1:04:48] installation. >> So, we'll see where we are at at

[1:04:50] Crawford. It's we're just starting at Crawford.

[1:04:54] » My question always is how are we promoting it?

[1:04:58] Well, so far we've just got our >> we're just, you know, walking. We the

[1:05:04] website is up not even a week or two. >> Okay.

[1:05:09] » And uh we are well, you're looking at our flyer.

[1:05:12] » And uh there's our uh sandwich board uh sign is in production.

[1:05:19] » Okay. >> That will be out near in Crawford. So

[1:05:22] when people walk by, they can see that they can donate

[1:05:25] » and then we'll go from there. What I would like to do, I'm sorry to interrupt

[1:05:29] you. What I'd like to do, I know we didn't because I'm just finding out

[1:05:33] about this is when we have our car show, put that in with the cars that are

[1:05:38] coming in. You know, the people that pay to come in to show the cars, slip them

[1:05:41] in. Slip them in. >> Oh, put the flyer in.

[1:05:46] Anybody who walks >> Most of those people aren't local.

[1:05:49] » Doesn't matter. >> I'm sorry. I do not

[1:05:51] » I said most of those people are not local people.

[1:05:54] Almost all of our car show people are local.

[1:05:56] » They're local. >> Are they within the town? From the town.

[1:05:59] » A lot of them are local. >> Okay. Sorry. I did not know that.

[1:06:01] » Yeah. >> Okay.

[1:06:03] » Even if not, even if they're from Greenwich, they got relatives in

[1:06:06] Portchester and Rybrook, I'm sure. >> Okay. No, I didn't realize that the

[1:06:09] people that were coming to show their cars were that local.

[1:06:11] » Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Debbie, just by the way, for Sue

[1:06:15] and Chance and you, um, when you want to come up with a multi-ter marketing plan

[1:06:20] for this, I'm very happy to help. >> That's a great idea. Yeah, because I

[1:06:24] think for both of them, you know, I don't know $10,000 at Rytown Park is

[1:06:28] fantastic, but certainly there are more ways to generate, you know, generate

[1:06:34] funds for both of these. >> Speaking about generating interest, I've

[1:06:38] had a lot of people come up to me and tell me how great

[1:06:44] the concerts are here. >> Well, that's fantastic,

[1:06:48] » right? And then they say, "But there should be more people.

[1:06:52] We have to we have to promote the Crawford Park concerts better than

[1:06:59] we have. I know that we put publicity out, but Pam, if you could put your mind

[1:07:04] to that, too, because you are so inventive on how to do these things

[1:07:08] because they are very good. People come up all the time and say, "I was at this

[1:07:11] guy. It was fantastic, but there were only 50 people there or

[1:07:15] something like that, >> right?

[1:07:17] » We have enough room for thousands." >> I think we also may want to look into

[1:07:22] working with Rybrook and and consolidating that a little bit. I think

[1:07:26] there's a lot of local concerts and maybe we want to look at that also.

[1:07:30] Fewer concerts with more people attending each one as opposed to having

[1:07:33] as many as we've had. >> Well, we don't have that many

[1:07:36] » like eight. >> I think it's really not that many

[1:07:39] people. Some people come to all of them, some just to a few.

[1:07:43] » Understand? And I've been and I and I came to them, but it is smaller groups.

[1:07:47] » So, something to consider, that's all. All right, that's it for the park, Vic.

[1:07:58] » Okay, thank you, Vic. Um, financials.

[1:08:03] [clears throat]

[1:08:06] » I can close these, right? >> Mhm.

[1:08:11] » And you have no other mediums, right? >> Do you have any other media?

[1:08:15] » No. >> No.

[1:08:16] » But I there should be some open reports. in the project.

[1:08:21] » Excel. Let's pop open Excel working.

[1:08:25] » Isn't there a hard drive there? >> Yeah, there is.

[1:08:31] » No, that's not it. >> Wasn't it at the top?

[1:08:35] » It was at the tops of the PDFs that of the screen that I had open before

[1:08:40] » because you only have that one. [snorts] My apologies.

[1:08:44] » So, we can't use >> No, no, I'll move the file out of it.

[1:08:46] » Okay, great. Yeah.

[1:08:56] those two. >> Well, they are two people.

[1:08:57] » All right, I'm just I'm just going to temporarily move them out of here

[1:09:00] because I know you prefer to use the mouse.

[1:09:02] » Why?

[1:09:06] » Just temporarily

[1:09:10] » might be in that room. >> Would it be in that room?

[1:09:16] » That's one. That's the other one.

[1:09:19] » Okay. So, they're both up here. Great. >> Okay. Jumpers can tell comproller.

[1:09:24] » Um, before I start before I start, I just want to go through some highlights

[1:09:28] for the month. >> A little small. Do you think you can

[1:09:30] make it larger?

[1:09:34] » Okay. Let's focus on where did it go?

[1:09:38] » Put this one up for now. >> This one's not working.

[1:09:41] » What do you need? >> I need the final inrem first.

[1:09:46] Great. Okay. So, some before I get started on the schedules, I just want to

[1:09:51] go over a couple highlights. >> We did receive our band proceeds for the

[1:09:55] month and 5.2 million and the net interest rate is 3.058%.

[1:10:02] Really a good favorable rate. Um, also, um, currently with New York class, we

[1:10:08] have about 16.6 million invested. um 13 of which we're going to have to

[1:10:14] pay out in October to the county because they allow us to hold on to money uh for

[1:10:19] three or four months and gain interest on that. And uh for the month we've

[1:10:23] already for the month of July, we earned about $43,000 in interest. So I expect

[1:10:30] that to go up in September and October because we took some of the band

[1:10:33] proceeds and put 2 million of it into New York class. So good news. Good news.

[1:10:40] and um cash and CD balances as as of today are about 2.7 million. So, moving

[1:10:46] in the right direction, trying to gain as much interest as we possibly can on

[1:10:50] our investments. Okay, here we go.

[1:10:55] Um yeah, here we go. Just wanted to point out that here on

[1:11:00] this line, compared to last year, you know, we're

[1:11:04] in I'm not concerned. We're in relatively good shape. Overall

[1:11:08] receivables, what I call trade receivables are at about

[1:11:13] 4.25 million versus last year 4 million and 9,000. So I think it's reasonable.

[1:11:21] I'm not concerned that um we're increased by about $250,000.

[1:11:26] I think we're going to I think receivables are going to start coming

[1:11:30] down. I I do know some items are on the hopper and I think we're going to re

[1:11:35] some receive some material balances. Okay, so let's go back up to the leans

[1:11:40] here. I do have a couple of concerns, but there's always a story and um if you

[1:11:47] look at the inrem lean totals again this year 2.1 million versus

[1:11:54] last year about 1.6 6 million. In this 2.1

[1:11:59] million up here in this 1.1 1.159 million, there's um a $656,000

[1:12:08] receivable due from 111 South Ridge Street. Um a lot of that is dependent on

[1:12:15] refinancing. I think once that gets refinanced,

[1:12:18] there's a good chance we'll get that money. It's a discussion we always have

[1:12:23] and we have it every day and every week and but we're confident that we're going

[1:12:27] to receive that. All righty. Another concern I have or not a concern but

[1:12:32] something to keep we like to keep our eyes on is in this 1.8 million here

[1:12:38] already there's a receivable from 900 King Street. So it's a new lean really

[1:12:44] it won't go into inrem in 2028 but [snorts] we're keeping our eyes on it.

[1:12:49] So again, uh, not really concerned with that one. More concerned with the INR

[1:12:53] rem run in REM balance, but again, I think we're going to get that money

[1:12:58] sooner rather than later. >> John, I'm pretty sure we're going to get

[1:13:02] the 900 King Street. They're they're waiting. They're uh they're going to go

[1:13:07] into demolition of that building in October.

[1:13:10] » And uh I'm sure that >> we we will be getting that money

[1:13:15] shortly. And if not, >> Carla will send him a letter. Another

[1:13:19] [laughter] letter.

[1:13:20] » Another letter. >> All right. So,

[1:13:24] any questions so far? Okay. Um, but you know, something to be concerned about

[1:13:29] when you look at our receivables is at year end what we don't collect gets

[1:13:34] reserve. There's an expense reserved for it. So, it's really incumbent upon us to

[1:13:40] get as much money as we can by year end because if we don't, the auditors are

[1:13:45] going to say, "Okay, well, you didn't receive all this money. we're going to

[1:13:48] hit your P&L, which affects the general fund. So, it's really incumbent upon us

[1:13:53] to to receive this money and start collecting. And I do know we do legally,

[1:13:57] we do as much as we can. I know Carl is constantly sending out letters. Jeff's

[1:14:02] telling her what to do. So, there's definitely communication going on that

[1:14:06] really, really, really um is continuous. Okay. So lastly, um

[1:14:12] » on the other side of the coin, people who don't pay their taxes when

[1:14:17] they do pay them, they're getting charged 12 plus percent in interest.

[1:14:21] » Yes, they are. So >> So we have an interest figure in our

[1:14:25] budget. So that we want them to pay. We don't want to have to reserve against

[1:14:31] collection, >> right?

[1:14:34] » But if they don't pay, they're borrowing. They are borrowing

[1:14:38] essentially borrowing money at 12% which is not a good rate for them.

[1:14:41] » Exactly right. So um what else? I lost my train of thought but anyway once you

[1:14:48] do not collect this money it affects the general fund but just trying to move in

[1:14:52] the right direction. Lastly what's not on this report is a receivable from

[1:14:57] Rytown Park. Okay. So um it's about $2 million. There really hasn't been a

[1:15:04] process set up to collect that money, but right now we set up a policy to

[1:15:10] invoice quarterly to Rytown Park for any monies that we've incurred on their

[1:15:14] behalf. And in addition to that, come probably November, October, November

[1:15:20] time frame. We're going to look at what we think Rytown Park needs next year in

[1:15:24] the beginning of next year. And any excess, we're going to try to claw back

[1:15:28] and pay off that receivable from Rytown Park. Can can you tell me what $2

[1:15:33] million was for? That >> the $2 million a lot of it's a lot of

[1:15:36] it's um payroll that we've paid on behalf of Rytown Park.

[1:15:41] » And why doesn't Rytown Park have the money to pay that to us?

[1:15:45] » Uh well, you know, um they blow through it pretty easily, I think. I mean, we

[1:15:50] spend money there and um we're waiting for funding for some of the capital

[1:15:56] projects at Rytown Park and also at year end the city arai and us we make them

[1:16:04] whole for any deficits that Rytown Park may incur. So towards year end both us

[1:16:12] and the city of Ry will pay that money to to Rytown Park. In addition to that,

[1:16:17] we're waiting on additional capital project funding from one of our sources.

[1:16:23] » But if the money is being used for payroll,

[1:16:26] how does the capital funding that's coming in that's

[1:16:31] going to capital projects? >> We've spent money on capital projects

[1:16:35] that we need to get reimbured for. >> Okay.

[1:16:37] » Okay. So, I'm just talking overall cash. There's a couple of components.

[1:16:41] » Okay. Like I said, you know, we spent money on a project and we're waiting to

[1:16:45] get it reimbured. So that goes into cash, right? And also we're waiting to

[1:16:50] city arai and the town arai will pay right town park monies towards year end

[1:16:57] to reimburse them for any deficit that's incurred.

[1:17:00] » But they I'm confused. Sorry. [laughter] You're saying that the Ry Town Park owes

[1:17:06] the town of Ry >> Yes.

[1:17:08] » $2 million. >> Yes. And then you're saying at the end

[1:17:11] of the year, the city of Rye and the town of Rye will make Rytown Park whole

[1:17:16] by giving them money >> for any deficit, any operating deficit.

[1:17:20] » For any operating deficit, >> which means that we're we end up with

[1:17:24] that deficit as the town. We're part of it and the city's right. We end up hit

[1:17:30] we end up expensing some of it and the capital project portion of it goes at

[1:17:35] the capital project fund which doesn't affect our results. It goes into the

[1:17:41] capital project fund which is a different category in our financial

[1:17:45] statements. >> Debbie Debbie can we hold this

[1:17:48] conversation? I I I'll explain something to you. Okay. Um finish

[1:17:54] » uh I'm pretty much done. Any other questions?

[1:17:58] » Yeah. Is there a reason why you can't explain it now?

[1:18:03] I I don't understand. I'd like to understand how it works and in the name

[1:18:09] of transparency is the reason why we can't.

[1:18:12] » Yeah. The the it's a fairly complicated situation.

[1:18:16] over the years. Apparently,

[1:18:21] the uh the town of Rye may have overpaid

[1:18:27] what it's due to Rytown Park and our audit reports have shown

[1:18:34] that the commission owes the town money and we're trying to put a figure to it.

[1:18:42] It's not definite how much that figure is and where it's coming from. So

[1:18:47] basically, it's an incomplete report that John has given and I'm trying to

[1:18:52] get it complete so that I could advise the council

[1:18:56] exactly where we are. >> Okay?

[1:18:59] » It's not a complete report. >> Okay? Because a $2 million deficit

[1:19:02] sounds large number. >> It is. And I don't think

[1:19:05] » and it sounds like something that we should be incredibly concerned about.

[1:19:08] » I don't think that that's an accurate number.

[1:19:12] Okay. >> Okay. Any other questions?

[1:19:18] Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you,

[1:19:21] » Jeff. >> Nothing to report.

[1:19:26] » We You're going to start the next interim in January. Correct.

[1:19:34] » Hi, Jeff Binder, town attorney. Um to that question, the answer is yes. We

[1:19:39] have an ongoing uh periodic commencement of INREM

[1:19:43] proceedings against those who didn't pay. So um I have a basket of old cases

[1:19:51] and then our new cases start and then our old cases start to resolve but I

[1:19:54] have new cases. This is like a neverending saga. But we're as diligent

[1:20:00] as we can be to collect which would help John

[1:20:09] Nothing further to report. >> Are we in court on any of these inrimms

[1:20:14] right now? >> Uh we have one inrem that's uh actively

[1:20:18] in court that has to do with one property in Portchester which I will be

[1:20:22] conferencing as soon as we can schedule that. We've been offering going back and

[1:20:28] forth on dates. This is the property that has to do with the Knights of

[1:20:30] Columbus and other properties uh in other batches

[1:20:36] are in various stages of letters, petitions um but no active court

[1:20:42] appearances at the moment except for the old cases which we're we're at uh the

[1:20:48] the oldest case is the Knights of Columbus case. So,

[1:20:53] » all right. Thank you. Y Carlo, do you have anything?

[1:21:01] Not really.

[1:21:05] » Yeah. Close this, please. I don't want to mess this thing up. Thank you. We're

[1:21:10] going to need the image back up, so don't completely put it away.

[1:21:14] » That's fine.

[1:21:18] » I don't have anything to put up there. >> You have no presentation?

[1:21:21] » No. >> No.

[1:21:22] » Just close it. Um, hi K. Please receive our taxes.

[1:21:27] I don't have too much to say. Um, the school bills will be going out, all

[1:21:32] schools, the first week of September. They'll be out in the mail and online

[1:21:38] for all residents. That's it.

[1:21:42] The leans were filed July 31st for anyone who owed taxes in 2025.

[1:21:50] And everybody who needs to know about them

[1:21:54] knows about them. and um they have been coming in to pay most people. So that's

[1:22:00] a plus. >> Yeah, that's it.

[1:22:04] » Thank you. >> Thank you.

[1:22:10] » Anybody have anything any members of the council wish to speak on any item before

[1:22:15] we turn? >> Yeah, I just want to mention put in your

[1:22:53] with the judging. Uh we're going to give out trophies. Um spectators are free. Uh

[1:22:59] we're going to have a 50/50 raffle where the proceeds are going to go for the

[1:23:04] friends of Crawford Park. Um so it was a good time. We had a lot of fun last

[1:23:10] year. Uh so we're doing it again this year and uh just put in your books. We

[1:23:16] have I have one more meeting uh at the end of the September just to have

[1:23:21] everything finalized to get it ready for October 4th. We're just praying for good

[1:23:25] weather again. That's it. >> The weather will help.

[1:24:00] kids go on the in the park, enjoy the enjoy the playground.

[1:24:06] » All right. Anything else? >> October is filling up. Um, I believe we

[1:24:11] have now scheduled our multimmunicipal community cleanup day for October 17th

[1:24:16] and we need to start our meetings on that one. Um, I missed the trunk or

[1:24:21] treat meeting today. What date is that? >> Uh, we rescheduled the trunk or treat

[1:24:26] meeting because uh, Chance Fesi was all in on getting

[1:24:31] this the uh, media for today's meeting up. So, um, that I think the meeting is

[1:24:38] going to be rescheduled for either later this week or early next week.

[1:24:41] » Okay. And the date for trunk or treat this year?

[1:24:44] » I was say, did you choose a date? >> I think so. Hold on just a minute. I I

[1:24:49] just saw the flyer. >> While we're talking about October, which

[1:24:54] is right around the corner.

[1:24:58] » What else do we have for October? While she's getting there,

[1:25:00] » we've got the car show. We've got community cleanup. We've got trunk or

[1:25:03] treat. I'm sure we have concerts coming down the pike. So,

[1:25:14] holiday lights coming at us in December. >> Hi everyone.

[1:25:19] » So, you guys want me to talk about trunk or treat? Um, so I'm recycling the past

[1:25:27] wind signs banners that we have. So, we try not to spend money yourself candy.

[1:25:34] Oh, I'm Gandhi Laame Mahia. I assist Vic Feder Rico. I am his assistant, so I'm

[1:25:41] also his shadow. Um, so in regards to trunk or treat, I

[1:25:49] have some of the old wind signs and banners that we've had lying around from

[1:25:56] last year and the year before. So, what I usually try to do is recycle

[1:26:01] and reuse. So that's what I will try to do for this um not only for the car show

[1:26:08] but also for trunk or treat and holiday lights.

[1:26:12] » What what's our date for O for trunk? >> October 23rd.

[1:26:16] » Friday, October 23rd. Got it. >> And it's first the trunk or treat from

[1:26:20] 5:30 to 6:30 and then right after it will be the the movie which this year

[1:26:27] will be Toy Story 5. >> And then we will have Mr.

[1:26:33] Softy here as one of the ice cream trucks.

[1:26:39] This will be the first time we'll have an actual truck on premise.

[1:26:46] » We never had a truck before. >> No.

[1:26:48] » No. >> I didn't I didn't realize that.

[1:26:52] » Yeah. I mean, there's so much candy and popcorn that most of the time most of

[1:26:56] the kids are >> filled with that. But

[1:26:59] » speaking of holiday lights, we have trucks. Well, holiday lights, we always

[1:27:03] have trucks. Yes. And for the car show, >> but this year for the car show, we are

[1:27:10] trying to see if anybody will sponsor the inflatable

[1:27:14] so kids will have something to do here at the car show besides climb all over

[1:27:21] fire trucks. >> Correct.

[1:27:23] » Yeah. >> Right.

[1:27:27] something else to do besides trying to drive the cars that are there.

[1:27:32] » Right. [clears throat] Correct. >> It's not good to have a six-year-old

[1:27:35] trying to drive a car, >> especially when they're classics and

[1:27:37] they could get scratched, damaged. Most owners don't want that. So, we're trying

[1:27:42] to find other distractions. Last year we had a vendor,

[1:27:47] but he had bubbles and [snorts] um that silly string and it really didn't work

[1:27:54] out because some of the individuals that had their cars on display were getting

[1:27:59] bubbles all over their cars and they had to keep wiping down the cars.

[1:28:04] So, they weren't happy. No, they weren't happy.

[1:28:07] » All right. All right. Thank you, Candy. >> You're welcome.

[1:28:11] » Anything else? All right. Motion to adjurnn, please.

[1:28:16] » So moved. >> Second.

[1:28:18] » All in favor? >> Yes.

[1:28:20] » I

[1:28:24] [snorts] found

[1:28:28] it on the box.
