35
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,160
what a great experience we were
discussing what it was like the

36
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,160
hospitality and the accommodations you
did or did not have and the fact you're

37
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:23,120
able to see LeBron and you're able to
see many of the performances um you know

38
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:27,360
it's interesting mayor's right it's not
often that we have individuals from the

39
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,160
capital region in the Olympics I can
think back maybe 9 years ago one of the

40
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:36,160
pompe
goes participate in track field and you

41
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:41,360
been know enough my cousin FR our Harry
Mar used to be the cathol coach he

42
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:46,560
coached two Olympic C
worlders and the reason I mentioned that

43
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:52,759
is listening to him tells me how much
work I have it and there's a lot of

44
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:57,919
individual time a lot of individual
sacrifice that is part of this and uh

45
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,639
our hats off to you and congratulations
we thank you for being a great

46
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,240
I do want to acknowledge that the uh
Senator um Ashby was here um presented

47
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:23,720
when we put um Proclamation himself but
he had a lead as as well as uh John has

48
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:29,280
a lead so i' like to now ask for um
County Executives uh Mich come on up

49
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,440
thank you mayor I'll add a little bit
more to your growing pile of paper uh

50
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,000
and
proclamations um on behalf of County te

51
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:47,280
D McCoy
congratulations um it's an incredible

52
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,319
achievement I think uh for me what what
amazes me most about the Olympic

53
00:06:48,599 --> 00:06:53,759
athletes is kind of what you were saying
earlier when we were talking outside was

54
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,120
you're going to take a week off you're
going to get back after it and you're

55
00:06:55,479 --> 00:07:01,000
also going to go to your job and get a
full-time job and so you're a

56
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:05,759
professional athlet but you're also
juggling a great many things and uh I

57
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:10,720
think that shows the dedication you know
you're talking about how you know maybe

58
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:16,039
the guys from USA Basketball got to stay
in a different place uh and uh you know

59
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:20,240
that that goes to show the level of
dedication above and beyond what even

60
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:26,360
they uh have to put into things and your
love for what you do I have to uh insane

61
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:30,160
children and I would like to think that
when they grow up and perhaps if they

62
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,800
have a love for physical activity as you
do that they'll have a dedication that

63
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,919
you do and uh you're heard to talk about
how you coach and things of that nature

64
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:43,639
and those are the type of things that I
think Olympians bring to the table that

65
00:07:40,919 --> 00:07:48,960
others do not so congratulations thank
you uh welcome back hopefully your bed's

165
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:04,200
unless there's any questions

166
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:12,840
no Monday that was my very first thing
Mond

167
00:18:09,159 --> 00:18:16,919
Monday yes M I know you said I yeah Joe
a few few other questions we had or I

168
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:22,280
had um that we were going to talk about
too was that at one of the previous

169
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,640
initial um Council meetings and I sent
this as an email but I never got an

170
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:30,760
answer back was the millings we were
going to use the millings in the alleys

171
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:37,480
was that done we did use millings for
all the alley aprons on uh 16th Street

172
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:43,480
um we are actually talking
to um can you use the m to jail so yeah

173
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:48,799
so the millings all along 16th Street
were used uh where we did the Milling on

174
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:54,559
that and repaving on all the apron alley
access points there uh we also

175
00:18:51,240 --> 00:19:00,159
stockpiled millings on lisi's property
we're looking at an alley

176
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:07,480
tomorrow um that is is the one that goes
right next to St Bridget's and um we'll

177
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:11,919
use a majority of millings there as well
so we did that one and then we fully

178
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:17,080
paid with using millings on the bottom
on I think it's the

179
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:22,559
13th Street alley that's between 7th and
8th uh that alley

180
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:27,039
there
okay is it all right to ask a few more

181
00:19:25,159 --> 00:19:32,360
questions on sure different issues all
right uh another issue that had been

182
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:37,799
popping up is the garbage that's being
left um by the

183
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:42,600
trucks um if they're not in
compliance what what is the what's

184
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,280
what's the procedure now being done
about

185
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:51,280
that um not quite sure you're saying
that when a truck goes by being missed

186
00:19:49,159 --> 00:19:54,360
well there there were a couple one of
them was on 25th Street and the other

187
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:58,520
one was on Broadway I sent you two
emails on that but I never got an answer

188
00:19:56,679 --> 00:20:01,799
back I'm sure they probably got picked
up

189
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:05,120
but why are the why are the men leaving
the garbage or is there a procedure that

190
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:10,440
says they left the garbage and
somebody's coming back to get it or how

191
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:15,559
is that being done well I think the one
that I think was noted was the excessive

192
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:22,080
garbage on 25th stre I think Paul
responded to that uh on it um yeah but

193
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:27,720
that's not the that's policy I know is
that they pick everything up right and

194
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:30,919
they do that and I think um we'll have a
greater conversation when we have that

195
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,799
meeting with
CCA no no it's about garbage so we'll

196
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:40,320
have a greater conversation we will have
the conversation but but like like on

197
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:44,039
the garbage on Broad on Broadway there
there was a garbage I sent it a picture

198
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:50,799
there was a um they picked up all the
garbage on Broadway on the 2400

199
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:55,080
2401 um the Broadway there but they left
three or four bags of garbage on the

200
00:20:52,880 --> 00:21:00,960
ground um
and so what's the procedure on that did

201
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,200
they just leave it is that no we know
what the procedure is we know the

202
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:08,720
procedure is is that they're to pick up
everything right that's what the

203
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:14,120
procedure is and right now like I said I
think we're going to have a greater

204
00:21:10,679 --> 00:21:18,720
conversation um with CSEA about this
topic cuz I can't answer that question

205
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:22,960
as to why people are leaving it yeah but
isn't it an order for them to do what

206
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:28,760
you're told yes okay all right that's
what I wanted okay it's an order that we

207
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:32,880
we're saying all right yes um also
couple months ago or whatever I think it

208
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,720
was just after was just before Chief
cenni we were going to get a police

209
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:44,120
report on the overtime
yes we Amanda and I this that's that for

210
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:49,480
that uh you could review Amanda and I
met with Chief Bryce to go over that

211
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:54,159
report okay so that's the report for you
that's what we've met uh on Chief with

212
00:21:51,640 --> 00:22:00,440
Chief Bryce and uh we'll be happy to
answer any questions you know when you

213
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:03,559

214
00:22:02,090 --> 00:22:08,640
[Applause]
have when you get older and you can't

215
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:14,000
see
that you can't see

216
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:17,720
that I'll have to take a picture of it
and

217
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:23,240
okay H well I would need glasses for
that too yeah you you would need we need

218
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:29,120
something
um the other the other issue that we

219
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:34,240
have to we have to talk about I know we
also we've had several emails going back

220
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:39,520
and forth on this was the garbage trucks
themselves leaving the the uh sludge or

221
00:22:36,919 --> 00:22:44,000
whatever sludge on the ground um I never
got an answer back you know from anyone

222
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:48,400
here about what what we could do about
it cuz I'm not a garbage expert myself I

223
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,600
did call a hose and talk to Steve about
it he gave me the you know check the

224
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:56,960
plugs I go okay but yeah didn't know
what it was and I know you had explained

225
00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:03,720
it to me I know we have someone here
from uh in audience right now that you

226
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:10,640
know was also complaining about it um
but we again it was kind of left for a

227
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:14,159
long time and what I know what we have
now is a resolution right we have a

228
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:19,039
resolution to it we do have a resolution
and it's not uncommon that garbage

229
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:23,480
trucks do spew that liquid I mean it
happens in my neighborhood and that's a

230
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:28,960
private company um this was has been
excessive throughout our our vehicles um

231
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:34,039
that we have multiple trucks
so the plugs were missing and we put the

232
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:39,080
plugs in two of the three vehicles cuz
the Third vehicle right now is not even

233
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:43,159
in our property uh or in our DPW Yard
because it's being worked on but it will

234
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:48,679
be fixed when it gets back the two plugs
are in we used it one day and then the

235
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:53,120
pressure with compacting the garbage was
pushing the liquid out through the

236
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:58,559
gaskets those gaskets were resealed so
those two trucks um as it stands today

237
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:03,000
it's been 2 days of operation and no
complaints have been received at all so

238
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:07,360
the plugs are in they're tightened and
the gaskets are fixed between the

239
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,320
compactor and the truck body and right
now like I said no other complaints have

240
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:16,039
been
received and and I appreciate that and

241
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:20,760
and like that but the one thing that
concerned me the most with all the

242
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:25,480
complaints that we received beforehand
wasn't that something that would have

243
00:24:22,159 --> 00:24:30,600
been as a dpw's gage being able to say
let's check the plugs

244
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:35,919
uh to answer that question yeah that
would have been right a logical yeah it

245
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:40,880
would have been a logical thought
process cuz it's common I mean it's not

246
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:45,679
like this is brand brand new with you
know when we had that

247
00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:49,679
conversation um as of I think it was 10
days ago when I started getting the

248
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:56,039
complaints um well we're getting
complaints like for the past 6 months

249
00:24:52,760 --> 00:25:01,120
but okay right if that's the time frame
um but when I looked into it 10 days AG

250
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:07,000
because we were getting more right
frequent

251
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:14,159
calls um there were no plugs in the
trucks and the answer received was we

252
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:19,360
haven't had them in vehicles for
years so to answer the question honestly

253
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:23,919
that would have
been yes there's got to be a plug that

254
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,520
would have been a thought process but
the answer received was there hadn't

255
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:33,080
been a plug in those trucks for years
Okay so

256
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:35,919
all right moving on are we okay now with
tree

257
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,720
trimming we got a big going out for the
tree trimming is it out yet uh no it has

258
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,520
not got one out yet I've been Penning
that that tree bid I you looked at it

259
00:25:41,679 --> 00:25:50,799
with the um one that we did three years
ago and that will probably be going out

260
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:54,960
uh Friday and Monday and it's Citywide
right okay speed bumps on First Avenue I

261

know they're still in the city clerk's
office right they are still in the city

262
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:04,000
clerk's office the unfortunate thing
with that is is they had spikes that are

263
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:09,159
probably uh 16 in long and they weren't
the ones that I wanted I wanted the ones

316
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:04,320
approved we probably won't be able to do
need this for future projects uh but is

317
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:09,039

331
00:32:22,919 --> 00:32:28,000
coun mayor in favor

332
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:36,159
resolution number 39 for 2024 is a
resolution amending the contract for the

333
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:40,559
play trael at hon Shores park for the
installation of a security gate under

334
00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:45,919
change order number one as part of the
local Waterfront revitalization plan and

335
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:53,399
authorizing mayor Charles patelli to
execute s make res motion on resolution

336
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:58,919
39 I'll second it I think I sent you the
uh specs of this gate um that we're

337
00:32:56,519 --> 00:33:05,639
using this is going to going to be right
before in the front of the boat house

338
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:11,440
area there are cars uh going down the
far down um

339
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:17,519
so one of the reasons why I requested a
a bid on this and through the plate

340
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:22,000
trail system was there was a car uh
probably

341
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:28,600
about maybe two weeks ago 3 weeks ago
now um that was parked on the embankment

342
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:33,600
and it was the car was really
like this um

343
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:38,279
so I just was a little bit fearful of it
so this security gate will block any

344
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:41,840
Vehicles going down past the boat house
or anywhere close to the uh ramp for the

345
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:47,279
the
river did that also include that other

346
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:52,720
fence um on that first playground yeah
that's already been part of the project

347
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:56,440
yeah so that one uh we did uh a meeting
ago two meetings ago and that one

348
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,720
supposed to be installed at the same
time this one was

349
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:10,599
okay okay go the RO councilman mayor in
favor that concludes the new business

Friday the garbage trucks parked there

374
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:13,400
to go to Dunkin DS and they let them
idle some of them leave them on they let

375
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:18,040
them idle the tenant in the back and
friends to me all the time and I'm like

376
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:24,160
you come for your your your stuff you
know um they leave them run in and the

377
00:36:20,839 --> 00:36:30,319

feel like the extent should be on me if

378
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:35,240
their trucks are good I mean I feel like
maybe sawdust should be putting the you

379
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:39,640
know the Hol or whatever I mean if if
it's an armg goinging thing they assured

380
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,560
me that it's the garbage that when
people throw them out you know people a

381
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,839
lot of people don't empty their can
their cans and they fill them in there

382
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:55,480
and they said that when they crush the
garbage and the trucks idle the garbage

383
00:36:50,760 --> 00:37:01,800
just SPS out of the back and I don't
know I don't know if that's true not but

384
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:05,400

they if they're going to leave their

385
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:11,640
trucks idle for that period of time
maybe they can dump something in their
