[3:53] occasion that we had we're very I mean so really in some ways so excited to see

[3:58] that you know we had somebody from waterly here you know that was in the

[4:01] Olympics and I can't tell you how how happy we are you know for you for the

[4:07] residents is the people that you know you uh you taught you you know in school

[4:12] but also for the little kids that have seen you as you know along the line um

[4:17] you as I said he grew up here long time ago I don't remember him as a as a kid

[4:22] but now I do know the connection that I have with um I was also a track star I

[4:28] was talking earlier in high school yes nobody else here

[4:32] knows that I ran track check that record you can fact check it myself I

[4:38] came in second in a major race of two people um so I I do know what you went

[4:45] through not really at all so um first what I'd like to do is I know that U SE

[4:52] McDonald has to go and I'd like him come up and say a couple words for you and

[4:56] and talk to you

[5:04] thank you there and good afternoon everybody and we congratulations and uh

[5:09] what a great experience we were discussing what it was like the

[5:12] hospitality and the accommodations you did or did not have and the fact you're

[5:16] able to see LeBron and you're able to see many of the performances um you know

[5:20] it's interesting mayor's right it's not often that we have individuals from the

[5:25] capital region in the Olympics I can think back maybe 9 years ago one of the

[5:29] pompe goes participate in track field and you

[5:33] been know enough my cousin FR our Harry Mar used to be the cathol coach he

[5:38] coached two Olympic C worlders and the reason I mentioned that

[5:43] is listening to him tells me how much work I have it and there's a lot of

[5:49] individual time a lot of individual sacrifice that is part of this and uh

[5:55] our hats off to you and congratulations we thank you for being a great

[6:08] I do want to acknowledge that the uh Senator um Ashby was here um presented

[6:13] when we put um Proclamation himself but he had a lead as as well as uh John has

[6:20] a lead so i' like to now ask for um County Executives uh Mich come on up

[6:31] thank you mayor I'll add a little bit more to your growing pile of paper uh

[6:36] and proclamations um on behalf of County te

[6:40] D McCoy congratulations um it's an incredible

[6:44] achievement I think uh for me what what amazes me most about the Olympic

[6:48] athletes is kind of what you were saying earlier when we were talking outside was

[6:52] you're going to take a week off you're going to get back after it and you're

[6:55] also going to go to your job and get a full-time job and so you're a

[6:58] professional athlet but you're also juggling a great many things and uh I

[7:03] think that shows the dedication you know you're talking about how you know maybe

[7:07] the guys from USA Basketball got to stay in a different place uh and uh you know

[7:13] that that goes to show the level of dedication above and beyond what even

[7:18] they uh have to put into things and your love for what you do I have to uh insane

[7:24] children and I would like to think that when they grow up and perhaps if they

[7:28] have a love for physical activity as you do that they'll have a dedication that

[7:32] you do and uh you're heard to talk about how you coach and things of that nature

[7:36] and those are the type of things that I think Olympians bring to the table that

[7:40] others do not so congratulations thank you uh welcome back hopefully your bed's

[7:46] a little better uh now that you got back and thank you very much here's a

[18:00] unless there's any questions

[18:04] no Monday that was my very first thing Mond

[18:09] Monday yes M I know you said I yeah Joe a few few other questions we had or I

[18:15] had um that we were going to talk about too was that at one of the previous

[18:19] initial um Council meetings and I sent this as an email but I never got an

[18:23] answer back was the millings we were going to use the millings in the alleys

[18:27] was that done we did use millings for all the alley aprons on uh 16th Street

[18:35] um we are actually talking to um can you use the m to jail so yeah

[18:41] so the millings all along 16th Street were used uh where we did the Milling on

[18:46] that and repaving on all the apron alley access points there uh we also

[18:51] stockpiled millings on lisi's property we're looking at an alley

[18:56] tomorrow um that is is the one that goes right next to St Bridget's and um we'll

[19:04] use a majority of millings there as well so we did that one and then we fully

[19:09] paid with using millings on the bottom on I think it's the

[19:13] 13th Street alley that's between 7th and 8th uh that alley

[19:19] there okay is it all right to ask a few more

[19:25] questions on sure different issues all right uh another issue that had been

[19:29] popping up is the garbage that's being left um by the

[19:35] trucks um if they're not in compliance what what is the what's

[19:41] what's the procedure now being done about

[19:43] that um not quite sure you're saying that when a truck goes by being missed

[19:49] well there there were a couple one of them was on 25th Street and the other

[19:52] one was on Broadway I sent you two emails on that but I never got an answer

[19:56] back I'm sure they probably got picked up

[19:59] but why are the why are the men leaving the garbage or is there a procedure that

[20:03] says they left the garbage and somebody's coming back to get it or how

[20:07] is that being done well I think the one that I think was noted was the excessive

[20:13] garbage on 25th stre I think Paul responded to that uh on it um yeah but

[20:19] that's not the that's policy I know is that they pick everything up right and

[20:24] they do that and I think um we'll have a greater conversation when we have that

[20:29] meeting with CCA no no it's about garbage so we'll

[20:34] have a greater conversation we will have the conversation but but like like on

[20:37] the garbage on Broad on Broadway there there was a garbage I sent it a picture

[20:42] there was a um they picked up all the garbage on Broadway on the 2400

[20:47] 2401 um the Broadway there but they left three or four bags of garbage on the

[20:52] ground um and so what's the procedure on that did

[20:58] they just leave it is that no we know what the procedure is we know the

[21:02] procedure is is that they're to pick up everything right that's what the

[21:05] procedure is and right now like I said I think we're going to have a greater

[21:10] conversation um with CSEA about this topic cuz I can't answer that question

[21:16] as to why people are leaving it yeah but isn't it an order for them to do what

[21:20] you're told yes okay all right that's what I wanted okay it's an order that we

[21:25] we're saying all right yes um also couple months ago or whatever I think it

[21:30] was just after was just before Chief cenni we were going to get a police

[21:34] report on the overtime yes we Amanda and I this that's that for

[21:41] that uh you could review Amanda and I met with Chief Bryce to go over that

[21:45] report okay so that's the report for you that's what we've met uh on Chief with

[21:51] Chief Bryce and uh we'll be happy to answer any questions you know when you

[21:56] guys get a chance to review it first

[22:02] [Applause] have when you get older and you can't

[22:06] see that you can't see

[22:11] that I'll have to take a picture of it and

[22:15] okay H well I would need glasses for that too yeah you you would need we need

[22:21] something um the other the other issue that we

[22:26] have to we have to talk about I know we also we've had several emails going back

[22:31] and forth on this was the garbage trucks themselves leaving the the uh sludge or

[22:36] whatever sludge on the ground um I never got an answer back you know from anyone

[22:42] here about what what we could do about it cuz I'm not a garbage expert myself I

[22:46] did call a hose and talk to Steve about it he gave me the you know check the

[22:50] plugs I go okay but yeah didn't know what it was and I know you had explained

[22:54] it to me I know we have someone here from uh in audience right now that you

[22:59] know was also complaining about it um but we again it was kind of left for a

[23:07] long time and what I know what we have now is a resolution right we have a

[23:12] resolution to it we do have a resolution and it's not uncommon that garbage

[23:16] trucks do spew that liquid I mean it happens in my neighborhood and that's a

[23:20] private company um this was has been excessive throughout our our vehicles um

[23:26] that we have multiple trucks so the plugs were missing and we put the

[23:31] plugs in two of the three vehicles cuz the Third vehicle right now is not even

[23:36] in our property uh or in our DPW Yard because it's being worked on but it will

[23:40] be fixed when it gets back the two plugs are in we used it one day and then the

[23:46] pressure with compacting the garbage was pushing the liquid out through the

[23:49] gaskets those gaskets were resealed so those two trucks um as it stands today

[23:55] it's been 2 days of operation and no complaints have been received at all so

[24:00] the plugs are in they're tightened and the gaskets are fixed between the

[24:04] compactor and the truck body and right now like I said no other complaints have

[24:08] been received and and I appreciate that and

[24:13] and like that but the one thing that concerned me the most with all the

[24:17] complaints that we received beforehand wasn't that something that would have

[24:22] been as a dpw's gage being able to say let's check the plugs

[24:28] uh to answer that question yeah that would have been right a logical yeah it

[24:33] would have been a logical thought process cuz it's common I mean it's not

[24:38] like this is brand brand new with you know when we had that

[24:42] conversation um as of I think it was 10 days ago when I started getting the

[24:47] complaints um well we're getting complaints like for the past 6 months

[24:52] but okay right if that's the time frame um but when I looked into it 10 days AG

[24:58] because we were getting more right frequent

[25:02] calls um there were no plugs in the trucks and the answer received was we

[25:10] haven't had them in vehicles for years so to answer the question honestly

[25:17] that would have been yes there's got to be a plug that

[25:22] would have been a thought process but the answer received was there hadn't

[25:25] been a plug in those trucks for years Okay so

[25:29] all right moving on are we okay now with tree

[25:33] trimming we got a big going out for the tree trimming is it out yet uh no it has

[25:38] not got one out yet I've been Penning that that tree bid I you looked at it

[25:41] with the um one that we did three years ago and that will probably be going out

[25:47] uh Friday and Monday and it's Citywide right okay speed bumps on First Avenue I

[25:53] know they're still in the city clerk's office right they are still in the city

[25:56] clerk's office the unfortunate thing with that is is they had spikes that are

[26:00] probably uh 16 in long and they weren't the ones that I wanted I wanted the ones

[26:05] that b in and both out so I'm trying to find those type of ones the bolts now

[26:12] that have the Molly in it that we can screw into the ground or core into the

[26:17] ground and then just tighten it down each and every season pull them light

[26:21] okay is that speed bup seasal thing yes yeah they're going to go on in the fall

[32:56] using this is going to going to be right before in the front of the boat house

[33:01] area there are cars uh going down the far down um

[33:08] so one of the reasons why I requested a a bid on this and through the plate

[33:13] trail system was there was a car uh probably

[33:18] about maybe two weeks ago 3 weeks ago now um that was parked on the embankment
