1
00:02:52,980 --> 00:03:00,820
Good evening and welcome to the September 1st, 2026 Town Board meeting. If we get all rise for the pledge

2
00:03:00,820 --> 00:03:01,340
of allegiance,

3
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:06,940
we're going to read us today.

4
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:17,630
And to the Republic, which stands one nation under God, into this rule.

5
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:28,320
And if we get all remaining standing for moment of silence, as we pray for those who protect our freedoms, our first responders, and a special prayer.

6
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Last week we lost Bob Sassir, those of you that may not know him.

7
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:39,840
He was the man who ran the Rex all, his family owned it since 1930.

8
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:49,260
five passed away after battle with Parkinson's, but he was, I believe, 92 years old, a

9
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:53,140
blessed life, and he really did a lot for our community, our count for the years.

10
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:54,960
I would also...

11
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,180
I would also...

12
00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:58,900
Yes, I'll thank you for the melt handsman the week before yesterday.

13
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:09,100
I would also add the hundreds of souls that were lost in Nepal in a surreal incident

14
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:12,180
and the flooding that occurred in that nation.

15
00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:13,340
Yes, and...

16
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:15,160
How long have you been in the Grand Canyon?

17
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,120
Yes, yes, those lost in the Grand Canyon.

18
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,580
That week, it's been a bad week.

19
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:19,180
Yes.

20
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,600
Thank you.

21
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:34,680
We'll start with introductions to my right.

22
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:37,300
Good evening, Dan, of course, town clerk.

23
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:40,060
We need Patrick Murphy, town councilman.

24
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:41,640
Supervisor Red Lyreckerman.

25
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:44,060
Sir, do you want to proceed with Deputy Supervisor?

26
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,640
Sir, the Siegel, town councilwoman.

27
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,100
The lawn Gilbert town council meeting at a Rodriguez territory.

28
00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:53,300
All right.

29
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,560
For my report for the town,

30
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,760
a few things and we'll get moving along to an outside.

31
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,620
I do hope everyone enjoyed the fireworks display on August 23rd after the last Lions concert.

32
00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:16,660
It was truly a great end to the summer concerts and a fantastic way to help celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country.

33
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,840
But please remember that it doesn't stop there. We still have a few things going on.

34
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:28,340
I know I read one of the things coming up at the Presbyterian Church. There's a concert coming up this month.

35
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:40,080
but we also have a T-Town, a day of a revolutionary story telling with Jonathan Crook and they're going to have two different sessions.

36
00:05:41,020 --> 00:05:50,160
That Saturday, September 26, two to three T-Town tales for families and from six to seven, 30 revolutionary T-Town for adults.

37
00:05:51,120 --> 00:06:06,040
T-Town actually gets its name from the Revolutionary War times when a T-merchant down in New York City wanted to hold his T for the value and sell it at higher tax rates.

38
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:13,260
So he shipped it up to what's now referred to as T-Town and stored it there.

39
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:19,220
and then a group of women in the city who couldn't get their tea found out about it.

40
00:06:19,220 --> 00:06:25,480
And I did not realize how important tea was back then, but they literally came up, they marched

41
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:31,480
onto tea town and they demanded that it be sold and got it onto the market without the

42
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,000
taxation.

43
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:40,300
So, great, great little story, and they'll be, I'm sure, plenty of those at tea town, a little

44
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:47,340
So more on the somber side, as we come up on the 25th anniversary of 9-11, we will be doing

45
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:55,540
our annual ceremony at the 9-11 Memorial at 4 p.m. The Grange will also be doing one with

46
00:06:55,540 --> 00:07:02,320
their opening ceremonies the same day. I know that this year is a little strange with two events

47
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:09,900
at the same time and Russia-Shanus starting that evening as well so you know if you can't

48
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:17,400
make it please remember those who parish those who continue to to fight the illnesses caused

49
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:32,300
by 9-11 in your prayers and just remind again we will be doing some major renovation work at the

50
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:37,580
also be limited use of the facilities at times. It will create some

51
00:07:37,580 --> 00:07:41,440
inconveniences which we apologize for but these changes will make a huge

52
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,760
difference in your experience and service service in the library and they're

53
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,660
also working out a deal with the Jefferson Valley malls we spoke about last

54
00:07:50,660 --> 00:07:56,860
time to be able to do some programming in some of their community areas so the

55
00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:59,020
programming will not end.

56
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,140
All right, Wani, you want to go next?

57
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Yeah, thanks.

58
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Pretty much reiterating what you've indicated, Ed.

59
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:13,240
I got a lot of wonderful feedback on the night of the fireworks by those attending the event

60
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:20,260
as I was leaving, and it was great to, it was gratifying knowing that it was really appreciated

61
00:08:20,260 --> 00:08:24,580
by those individuals in the town.

62
00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:30,960
And secondly, it is hard to believe that it's been 25 years since the

63
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:38,020
fateful day of 9-11, but what's even harder for me to conceive is a whole

64
00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:52,620
generation of people have been born who were not alive at that time and it's

65
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:59,480
past after Pearl Harbor and World War II and D-Day and how we commemorate those days.

66
00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:05,200
It's so important for us to continue and never forget the events of 9-11.

67
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:16,280
I will add on that I do hope that the State Assembly will sign on.

68
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:23,600
I know Assemblyman Slater has been working on a bill to try to make sure that 9-11 is taught

69
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:32,080
within our schools and not forgotten and it has received some considerable headwinds for different

70
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,600
reasons.

71
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:40,500
But I think that it's extremely important that we never forget and I urge anyone to talk

72
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:47,020
to your state assembly people and ask them to please push this and try to get this into

73
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:47,920
our schools.

74
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,940
got to remember no one in school was alive during this and most of the people that were alive

75
00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:59,800
have graduated college so it's really we can't let this become a thing of the past.

76
00:10:01,010 --> 00:10:04,510
So, thank you, Monica. Thank you. Susan?

77
00:10:04,990 --> 00:10:13,190
I can still remember exactly what I was doing and where I was. This shock was like, you couldn't believe it.

78
00:10:13,610 --> 00:10:26,350
I just have two announcements and quick updates. One says in a Harkham is having a senior fair at Jefferson Village on Friday, September 18th from 10am to 2pm.

79
00:10:26,350 --> 00:10:33,870
It's free, kind of, there'll be lots of vendors offering whatever services there are for seniors and also a reminder for people in the

80
00:10:33,870 --> 00:10:51,210
Halix, meal steward district in the Halix, meal area who are on septic systems that are aging and possibly in need of repair, there is a county program that will pay the full cost of the repair or repair or replacement.

81
00:10:51,210 --> 00:10:58,130
The only cost to the homeowner is about $500, something dollar initial title search.

82
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:03,970
The town did send some letters out to some homeowners who are close to a store line, because

83
00:11:03,970 --> 00:11:10,690
it's also a possibility if they were within 100 feet of an existing store line, the county

84
00:11:10,690 --> 00:11:12,670
program will pay for that connection.

85
00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:19,290
But there are more, there are hundreds and hundreds of homeowners in the HALX mills, a basin

86
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:24,090
that are on septic systems and who are not going to have any chance for Sue is in the foreseeable future.

87
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:28,230
So this is a one-time chance to possibly get that.

88
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:31,430
The information is on the town website with the phone number.

89
00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:35,410
It also like to give some updates about eBikes.

90
00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:36,930
There's been a lot of talk about that.

91
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:42,950
And I want to thank the police department and the unit for putting together this very informative

92
00:11:42,950 --> 00:11:49,490
is on poster that I think they're hopefully putting up throughout the town explaining where

93
00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:55,170
e-bikes and putting to the state law are allowed and we're more importantly with they're

94
00:11:55,170 --> 00:12:01,830
not allowed and also about wearing helmets of things like that. But as with this is education,

95
00:12:02,170 --> 00:12:08,570
which is one part of it, there's also enforcement. I think I keep getting emails about people who say,

96
00:12:08,570 --> 00:12:12,710
I saw them doing this tradition, and I saw them doing that with this, and I've been doing

97
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:21,250
some education that's needed, which is why I am working on legislation to aspects of legislation,

98
00:12:22,010 --> 00:12:28,490
one dealing with e-bikes, because the state law prohibits mountain bikes on to land,

99
00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:33,470
and we have some very valuable mountain biking trails in Georgia, which we want to encourage,

100
00:12:33,470 --> 00:12:35,930
because that's good to bring people into Yorktown.

101
00:12:36,950 --> 00:12:38,450
So state law says it's illegal.

102
00:12:38,830 --> 00:12:40,790
So we have to make sure that they're legal,

103
00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:43,430
and I talk to Jim Marron at the Parks Department.

104
00:12:43,970 --> 00:12:45,950
I've identified where the trails are,

105
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:47,770
and how we can legalize that.

106
00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:50,650
But we also have to talk about regular bicycles,

107
00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:53,770
especially on the sidewalks in our hamlet areas,

108
00:12:53,970 --> 00:12:55,890
which have been a problem for a long time.

109
00:12:56,270 --> 00:12:58,150
So I've reached out to the police department,

110
00:12:58,150 --> 00:13:02,370
I've tried to work with the, with their bike unit,

111
00:13:02,370 --> 00:13:07,770
And I want to put together legislative changes for both the e-bikes and also for the regular

112
00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:11,450
bikes with the enforcement mechanism that we need.

113
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:14,910
And I will present that to my colleagues here.

114
00:13:15,870 --> 00:13:17,690
Also, Seltower is another issue.

115
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:25,130
We now have six sample laws, three that were provided by Doug Fishman, Towns, Consultant, and

116
00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:29,250
three that I identified five of the six are all of Westchester communities.

117
00:13:30,010 --> 00:13:36,930
I'm looking at all of them side by side and basically cutting and pasting what I think works best for

118
00:13:36,930 --> 00:13:44,630
Yorktown and what this community wants and what the board wants and where there are issues that I can't decide I'm going to put a highlight and say you have

119
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:50,690
options here. Do you want to option A, B or C and then the board can discuss it and we can propose some legislation.

120
00:13:51,410 --> 00:14:00,910
I also want to bring to the board's attention that last year, I raised the issue about the

121
00:14:00,910 --> 00:14:05,390
need to take a fresh look at our overlay districts, both Yorktown Heights and Lake

122
00:14:05,390 --> 00:14:12,670
Asiola, based on our experience processing one for underhill farms, you kind of learn

123
00:14:12,670 --> 00:14:14,570
what maybe needs to be tweaked.

124
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:17,990
And I suggested some tweaks, it was ignored.

125
00:14:18,590 --> 00:14:21,410
Let's come to my attention that when the major parcels

126
00:14:21,410 --> 00:14:24,350
at Lake Inlay, in Lake Oslo, in Jefferson Valley,

127
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:26,050
is now up for sale.

128
00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:27,890
And that's the form of Ciela Manor,

129
00:14:28,130 --> 00:14:33,050
which was for a short time of the Jefferson Resterund.

130
00:14:34,070 --> 00:14:36,610
That is in the Lake Oslo district.

131
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:39,830
It's currently zoned for commercial use.

132
00:14:40,090 --> 00:14:43,990
I think now before an application actually comes in,

133
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:52,770
We should take a look at the overlay law, the lake, our seal and see if anything needs to be changed, especially concerned about the density.

134
00:14:53,870 --> 00:14:59,970
Because some of the provisions in the original overlay law really dealt with density in terms of residents.

135
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:27,260
Financial development, but this is commercial. Although I'm confused could be used. So I'd like the board to talk to the planning and director Rob and Stinder and get some feedback in terms of what we need to look at. I do have some comments about the pump station repair, but I'll wait and for for Nancy RCR engineer to make his presentation and I'll bring up those issues then. Thank you.

136
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,520
I think that's going to go.

137
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:31,360
All right.

138
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:33,560
So just a few things.

139
00:15:33,980 --> 00:15:34,780
Welcome back everybody.

140
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Hope everybody had a, I don't want to say it.

141
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:38,540
Wonderful summer.

142
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,680
But so we've got a couple of things that are coming up.

143
00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:43,520
That are fun stuff.

144
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,480
The Grange Fair is coming.

145
00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:47,220
It's coming up soon.

146
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:48,920
I believe it's.

147
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:50,540
It's going to be a lot of fun.

148
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,520
And then you have right immediately following that.

149
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:56,580
You have the your time piece of change in error.

150
00:15:56,580 --> 00:16:01,120
So we got a lot of cool stuff coming just around the corner.

151
00:16:01,820 --> 00:16:06,580
The granite nose paving was finally completed and it looks absolutely fantastic.

152
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,900
There's a Facebook post on it, you can see the pictures and one of the most important

153
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:16,440
things is we were able to actually squeeze in some more spots, which is one of the issues

154
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,580
that we have there, it's such a heavily used facility, it's such a beautiful facility and

155
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:29,340
we continue to expand on that facility and the volleyball courts are set to be finished

156
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:31,420
in short order.

157
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:32,880
I don't know the exact date.

158
00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:37,680
I have an idea when it is, but I don't want to, I don't want to step on anybody's toes,

159
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,320
but watch for the volleyball.

160
00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:41,840
We continue to expand there.

161
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:42,800
We have the basketball courts.

162
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,500
We have the volleyball courts.

163
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,840
We have the pickleball courts.

164
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:45,620
We have the pavilion.

165
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:47,680
You know, the football fields.

166
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:48,600
You all purpose fields.

167
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:59,600
I mean, it's just a wonderful facility and we're also looking at doing something with the trailhead there and a sense we walk away.

168
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:01,020
We talked about that, right?

169
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:01,700
Sort of.

170
00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:04,220
They did with the millings.

171
00:17:04,540 --> 00:17:14,320
You know, so, you know, they took the millings out of the parking lot and they moved them across the street to make another parking lot for the trailhead going in.

172
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,700
So everything was used.

173
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:20,780
It was a very efficient way of doing the parking lot.

174
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,400
But I just wanted to just make sure that everybody knows

175
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:28,140
that 100% of the waste went back to use.

176
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,880
And now the trailhead probably has what?

177
00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:31,740
20 parking spots?

178
00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:33,820
Yeah, the trailhead has 20 parking spots.

179
00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:36,000
And it'd be like an upper and lower section there.

180
00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:37,180
Jim and Matt are on great job.

181
00:17:37,420 --> 00:17:40,780
Yeah, there were two entryways to the trailhead.

182
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,300
If you look at it, we haven't posted anything

183
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:49,360
about that yet but it really came out, it really came out fantastic. So, you know,

184
00:17:49,420 --> 00:17:54,800
just another great addition which is going to tie into the other stuff we want to do

185
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:01,320
with the sensory walkway and that kind of stuff. So, really, really good and you're right.

186
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:07,360
You know, they used all the waste or the millings and stuff like that to create this other area.

187
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,840
So, it really didn't cost a much or anything at all.

188
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:18,440
You clarify the trailhead, I don't know that many people understand whether trailhead is and

189
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,980
how the trailhead is one thing and separate from the additional parking, which the millions

190
00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:29,260
created the additional parking lot, but the trailhead deals with the trail that crosses over

191
00:18:29,260 --> 00:18:35,580
from from the bridge over the teconic, all across what known as granite nose east, across

192
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:40,540
a stony street, and then it goes through granite nose west, which is a sports complex, which

193
00:18:40,540 --> 00:18:46,880
goes all the way into silding Glen. Somebody can go from woodlands, park all the way over,

194
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:54,720
from like 132 to Lexington Avenue all on the town trail. It's really amazing. And the trail

195
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,980
is where legacy field is. Some people know it. No one has the legacy, you know. But the trail

196
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:03,280
head is where the start of the trail. And that's what he's referring to for us people who didn't

197
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,340
know what a trailhead was.

198
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:05,320
Thank you.

199
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:05,860
I learned.

200
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:08,920
We had a grand opening, era of nails and shrub oak.

201
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:14,100
They have a great new nail salon there, great people.

202
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,000
And I wish them the very best of luck.

203
00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:23,660
It was great being there and celebrating their successes and their new venture.

204
00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:29,800
And I wish them everything that they could possibly get in life that's wonderful.

205
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:31,640
The fireworks were spectacular.

206
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:38,720
I mean, it was really an amazing show, great way to end our concert series, great way to celebrate

207
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,960
Rev. 250, which is why, you know, we put that together.

208
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,420
And, sir, I do want to thank you publicly for doing a lot of like work on that, making sure

209
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:53,160
that you know, you found the best, best people for the job at the best price and, you know,

210
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:57,280
thank you, because it really moved pretty quickly and you did some great work there.

211
00:19:57,540 --> 00:19:58,980
Thank you so much, yeah, it was really beautiful.

212
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,840
It was at Lakeland High School, and I had a conversation with one of the board members, the Lakeland

213
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:14,580
School Board members, and we were talking about what we call the Vietnam Memorial there, right

214
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:20,120
on campus. And so we were looking at that, and here approach, we said, you know, I really like to get

215
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:28,500
this cleaned up, and you know, make it shine as it's supposed to. And so what I did was, he goes, I

216
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,420
What did you have in mind?

217
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:33,360
Well, maybe we could do some plant things, maybe we could clean up the stone, maybe we

218
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:40,600
could get it all cleaned up, modernize, make it look beautiful and give it the due respect

219
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,300
that it deserves.

220
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:47,860
So with that, I was able to pull together, 2173, who's going to do all the legwork, cleaning

221
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:53,360
the stone up, resetting the stone, the actual monument, move the little bit, so we're going

222
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:57,340
to reset it and we're going to try to make it so the way it doesn't move again.

223
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Why was able to pull a landscape or a local landscape and he's going to do all the work

224
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,940
for free and he's going to work with the troop with the kids in the troop to power wash

225
00:21:08,940 --> 00:21:12,640
the stone and do all that stuff and he's going to be donating some plants.

226
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:19,900
I am looking for there are some purple heart veterans there on the stone so I'm looking to

227
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:24,420
And there's these little purple heart metals that are stuck at the stone by the person's

228
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:26,340
name, by the vets name.

229
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,360
And so we're looking to looking for replacements for that, so we're going to grab those.

230
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:38,620
And we're really going to clean up that whole area and just revive it, especially now I know

231
00:21:38,620 --> 00:21:45,620
it's the Vietnam Memorial, but with the memory of 9-11 and everything, it's really coming

232
00:21:45,620 --> 00:21:52,480
together and I look forward to working with the troop who are just a wonderful bunch of people

233
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,920
that do a lot of good things. That troop is very active and I'm always impressed by them.

234
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:07,340
Speaking of high school, what the panace football, there are varsity football team is now section one.

235
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:14,160
So this is the first time they've entered into the section one realm. I think in their history,

236
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,860
They invited me to go to their celebration.

237
00:22:17,140 --> 00:22:17,980
I couldn't make it.

238
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:20,120
I really regret not being there.

239
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:25,220
Buckingradulations of Walter Panis and their section one sounds pretty cool.

240
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,880
Section one for Paul team.

241
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,120
Lastly, we talked about a few weeks ago about the streetscape RFP.

242
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:38,840
I believe where we're getting close to actually being able to evaluate it and I think

243
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,660
it's going to be on our desk soon.

244
00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:49,060
So this way we could look at it and and see what done I know we had something and it was more of a traffic study that it converted

245
00:22:49,060 --> 00:22:57,160
You had some issues with that. I had some issues with that everybody here at issues with that. So I believe it's almost it's almost completed and

246
00:22:57,940 --> 00:23:04,040
I will follow up and hopefully have it on in our email on your desk quote unquote in your email

247
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,400
soon where we're going to

248
00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:14,480
to re-invision the center of Yorktown, the center of the Commerce Street, the Yorktown Heights

249
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,300
Hamlet, Business Hamlet, with some impressive stuff.

250
00:23:18,460 --> 00:23:23,080
I think it'll be something that will transform our downtown.

251
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,500
And then from that point we'll move on to other places as well around town and in other

252
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:29,800
sections in other business hamlets.

253
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,460
But that should be coming soon.

254
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,940
Okay, I just wanted to give you guys an update.

255
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,120
Thank you very much.

256
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:43,080
I just wanted to welcome back Lakeland, Panis and Yorktown, the school districts, welcome

257
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,240
back all the kids.

258
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:50,240
Hope you have a great academic and sports year and just welcome back to reality if everybody

259
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,140
enjoys their summer.

260
00:23:53,780 --> 00:24:03,200
So on September 26, at the FDR Park, what is it?

261
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,860
recovery list Albert's not here so she's going to miss the courtesy of the floor but she

262
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:17,860
helps runs. This is their big fundraiser and he supports a 5K. It's a 5K run walk slash at

263
00:24:17,860 --> 00:24:25,180
the lot one in FDR Park at 9 o'clock and if you could support him that'd be great. It's one

264
00:24:25,180 --> 00:24:32,360
of their bigger and only fundraisers they have and they do a great job. Like I said, the library

265
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:37,680
doing a big renovation the first time in 40 years that they've done something this substantial

266
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:43,600
they're getting new carpets, new tiles, you know it came from a grant that they're doing this

267
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,680
but they're going to be shot the 29th and 30th of September they're sort of hoping that everything

268
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:55,320
will be done by the end of October and since they don't have any room they're not taking any

269
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,960
donations in any book donations this month. So, hold up.

270
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,600
If you're booked donations for the following month, okay?

271
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:13,280
And the Elx and Jefferson Village is also doing a 9-11 celebration, that's your ceremony.

272
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,760
So, the Elx will be starting at 8-30 in the morning, and I thank the Jefferson Village.

273
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:28,100
11 AM, it's 11 AM. And Susan, just to reiterate what you had said about the e-bike, so I took a walk over

274
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:35,140
Hudson Bridge and you know the middle lane is supposed to be for bikes. You walk on the outside the bike lanes

275
00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:42,540
supposed to be 10 miles an hour. There wasn't one bike on 10 miles an hour. They were everywhere between 20 and 30 miles an hour.

276
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,940
And if they hit anybody they're going to hurt someone. So yes, we have to

277
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:52,220
seriously look at the laws and regulations for you. I had missed that, but I have had

278
00:25:53,120 --> 00:26:01,020
very, very detailed discussions with Chief Foley, with Officer Oul, we're looking at

279
00:26:01,020 --> 00:26:07,580
a J.H. had sent some stuff, we are unfortunately sort of

280
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,960
what we have can affect the

281
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,360
town that could be registries, registrations, but if it's not on a, the same question pops

282
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:21,700
up, what do you do for the kids from Portland, from peak skill, from Mount Kisco, that

283
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:28,060
still writing all over. So if there's not a conglomerate of towns that that go in on this and try to get us,

284
00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:35,860
some of these, some of these laws like a licensing law doesn't really work. New Jersey is doing it as a state,

285
00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:51,680
and we're also talking with some of the state to see, but it needs to be addressed, but it also needs to be

286
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:58,480
the way the state in E-bike law was written. They're like three sections. One applies to

287
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,320
only I think it's just possibly South Ecuador and North Ecuador and North Ecuador. One applies

288
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:11,460
only to Westchester and then the third one applies to the rest of the state. So when I started looking

289
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:16,240
at some interesting laws in Orangeburg across the river and I think have a straw. I said,

290
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,360
oh these are good ideas. Then I realized that when you read the Westchester section we are limited.

291
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:26,680
because Westchester has first dibs on making any changes in the state law.

292
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:33,200
And my comments and my calls in context with Westchester Parks is that they're not regulated.

293
00:27:33,740 --> 00:27:40,420
They're not regulating anything and because some of our trails would go across municipalities.

294
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,320
It would be very problematic for Yorktown to have one set of regulations.

295
00:27:44,420 --> 00:27:47,400
So, there's another bed for another and so forth.

296
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,500
I just, yeah, that's, that's what I think.

297
00:27:49,540 --> 00:27:59,120
So we are very limited in what we can do, and that's why my goal is to, and we're also limited in terms of the penalties, because the state law sets the penalties.

298
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,300
All right, so I don't think, and this will all be subject to Adams verification that I don't think we can change the penalty,

299
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:12,040
but at least we can first certainly make mountain biking legal, we're right now it would be illegal, and we won't encourage that.

300
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,340
But we also then have to do the regular, the regular bicycles.

301
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:24,420
So it's a combination, but eBikes, and eSchooled is, our hands are somewhat tied by the way the state law was just written.

302
00:28:24,660 --> 00:28:40,040
And it's a total order, because you know, you don't want to overregulate, but as Councilman Murphy said, something has to be done, and you know, you don't want to kind of, you know, eBikes will also use for people that are disabled.

303
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,900
people are now who couldn't write a bike because of their their whatever

304
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:50,320
disability they may have made they may have now we're able to enjoy the outdoors

305
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:56,340
enjoy the bike path on a bicycle like you know and so it's a it's a it's a very

306
00:28:56,340 --> 00:29:00,900
tough thing you don't want to you don't want to crush like little kids either

307
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:05,360
you know as they write their bikes but it's such a complicated issue you don't

308
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,660
think it is but when you look at the whole thing you're looking at it you're like

309
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:19,420
I do, it's a very difficult thing to address and enforce as well and the repercussions by not doing anything

310
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,400
Could result in severe injuries too. Yeah, so young people that we're trying to you know

311
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:35,680
So once a year is back I bought my brother and I bought my brother and he bike because he's disabled and he couldn't afford a car

312
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,480
So I have my oldest brother I bought him an ebike. I have it now

313
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:43,300
It's been in my basement as a gathering cobwebs, but that being said.

314
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,780
You know, it was his mode of transportation.

315
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,060
He used it for a go-in of store, for a go-in of the pharmacy.

316
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,660
That's what they want to do.

317
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,520
The big dog Jay is that way your phone's parked in there.

318
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,700
It's a medication dog.

319
00:29:58,380 --> 00:29:58,880
There you go.

320
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
One thing I would just like to add, and I think I'd be remiss not to again a reminder, not hearing that it, kids are going back to school, focusing and we're focusing on public safety. Please stay alert, be safe, follow the school, drop off rules, the schools own limit rules and all issues with the buses and pedestrian kids walking to school.

321
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,640
school as well. We could possibly choose to build something into the low, so a lot of these

322
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,260
a lot of these bikes. I don't know if they all do, I haven't looked at you.

323
00:30:37,260 --> 00:30:39,860
I'll take laws and writing. I don't want to go into something.

324
00:30:41,660 --> 00:30:47,800
Just let me finish please. Thank you. So, you know, you can regulate these bikes come with

325
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:53,760
apps. And so maybe there is something that we built into the law somehow where, you know,

326
00:30:53,980 --> 00:30:59,180
you have to, you can regulate govern, it's what it's called, govern through an app. How

327
00:30:59,180 --> 00:31:03,360
best of bike to go. So you might have a bike that goes 30 miles an hour, but you could

328
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,460
govern it as a parent and say, all right, this bike can only, you know, not exceed

329
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:13,200
for 15 miles. Now, maybe that's something that, you know, we put into building this

330
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,060
part of a law, just an idea to think about it.

331
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:19,220
How long would they take you to break that? How long would it take you to break that

332
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:27,520
app? And I'm loving it. I'm working on that. I'm hoping that possibly by the third meeting in

333
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:33,380
September I will have a draft to share with all of you and as I say it's I thought it was mine

334
00:31:33,380 --> 00:31:38,500
e-bikes within the constraints that we have and also regular bicycles which I think have been

335
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:44,300
ignored over the years and there was a problem but both issues alright so Laurie did you have something

336
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:50,900
from. Yeah, I do. All right, this is from John F. Mullen,

337
00:31:51,020 --> 00:31:57,860
Gauber, the soul, poem is called Ted. September 28, 1941, 85 years ago, the

338
00:31:57,860 --> 00:32:02,140
last day of the baseball season, Ted Williams went six-eight in a double

339
00:32:02,140 --> 00:32:07,960
head of to finish at 406. That was his batting average. The last play had to

340
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:14,280
hit 485 years ago. 16 years later, he hit 388 to win his fifth batting

341
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:20,340
championship beating the run about Mickey Mantle by 23 points and won his sixth and last championship

342
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:26,360
the year after. He won two triple crowns, batting average home runs and runs batting in.

343
00:32:26,380 --> 00:32:33,580
In 1942 and 1947, and in his career, he had the highest batting average and most home runs

344
00:32:33,580 --> 00:32:43,940
an RBI's of any player who played in those years. He had a triple crown career. What was the most

345
00:32:43,940 --> 00:32:50,480
in World War II in Korea, landing a burning jet in Korea, getting pneumonia in the process.

346
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,780
Another American hero, Colonel and astronaut John Glenn called Baseball Hero Williams,

347
00:32:57,380 --> 00:33:02,460
the best wingman I ever had, Williams is also the only man in both the Baseball Hall of Fame

348
00:33:02,460 --> 00:33:08,260
and the fly fishing Hall of Fame. It is fashionable today to call people goats, greatest of all

349
00:33:08,260 --> 00:33:15,440
time. I never saw a tie-cop, baby, or Roger Horn's be. All I can say is that the Edo Samuel

350
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,640
Williams is the best I ever saw. John McMollon, you wrote this in 2022.

351
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:28,760
Yeah, the splendid, the great, he loves sports. He did. He did. And I'm rightfully so.

352
00:33:29,260 --> 00:33:34,980
All right. So now we come to presentation. We have clear to mail. Is it clear? Great.

353
00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:39,770
This

354
00:33:39,770 --> 00:33:41,190
This is what I'm looking for with Claire.

355
00:33:41,890 --> 00:33:43,210
You want to play with the doll?

356
00:33:43,910 --> 00:33:45,110
Don't listen to him, die.

357
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:49,490
Claire, you're going to talk to us at the microphone,

358
00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:53,370
introduce yourself, and what you're talking about, OK?

359
00:33:54,530 --> 00:33:55,930
Hi, my name is Claire Tamale.

360
00:33:56,390 --> 00:33:58,310
You can pull that down towards you.

361
00:33:58,530 --> 00:33:59,030
There you go.

362
00:34:00,230 --> 00:34:00,890
She's good.

363
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:02,710
She's going for a silver ward.

364
00:34:02,850 --> 00:34:03,650
She can figure out a mic.

365
00:34:04,970 --> 00:34:06,450
Hi, my name is Claire Tamale.

366
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:08,890
I'm a member of Girl's Got Troop 2812,

367
00:34:08,890 --> 00:34:13,810
And I'm working with the Johnson Heart Library for my Silver Award Project Books and Buddies.

368
00:34:14,250 --> 00:34:21,050
We're working to get American Girl Dolls in the Library so that younger patrons can check them out and have a friend to read with.

369
00:34:21,690 --> 00:34:26,570
And it also helps get dolls to people who may not be able to afford them.

370
00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:35,490
And so far we have two historical dolls, one girl, the year doll, and two truly mees.

371
00:34:35,490 --> 00:34:43,670
this is one of them and there's also this plush doll as well that I donated today and it

372
00:34:43,670 --> 00:34:57,570
comes with a book for younger readers so the only thing we were looking for hair brushes so that

373
00:34:57,570 --> 00:34:59,690
Anybody who checks out the dolls?

374
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:24,560
And take care of them as well. And also, carriers. So when people check out the dolls, they can carry them out of the library. And there will also be a walk-in activity, September 23rd. So people can learn more about the program. And they can learn how to take care of their dolls as well.

375
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:31,600
And yeah, thank you for taking your time to learn more about my project.

376
00:35:31,820 --> 00:35:35,280
Well, you can't run off yet, Claire. I have some questions. I don't know about anyone else.

377
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,940
So I think it's a great program. I actually responded. You unfortunately emailed me at an email.

378
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:45,180
I don't really check that often, but I did respond to, I think yesterday.

379
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,200
I'd love to talk more about the program.

380
00:35:48,740 --> 00:35:58,280
I also spoke a little bit with Ivana about somewhere where she's doing a light, trying to do a library of things, so the doll will fall very well into this.

381
00:35:58,860 --> 00:36:04,020
But say I wanted to help support that with a doll donation. How can I do that?

382
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:19,400
So, you would reach out to the library and they would give you the information and I guess we would meet up in, yeah.

383
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,020
Okay, so we'll talk to Vanna about that.

384
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,040
And what is your goal? How many dolls would you like to see at the library?

385
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,420
Well, I'm looking to complete the rest of the historical collection,

386
00:36:32,420 --> 00:36:39,260
because right now there's only two, maybe also one more plus stall too.

387
00:36:39,580 --> 00:36:45,180
How many are in the historical collection? I, my subscription for American Doll has lapsed.

388
00:36:45,420 --> 00:36:49,760
I used to get the emails from my goddaughter all the time. I'm not joking, so.

389
00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:50,860
Yeah?

390
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:51,920
I thought you were joking.

391
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,540
No. We have breakfast for American girls.

392
00:36:54,820 --> 00:36:55,120
Yes.

393
00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:57,880
They have, I almost worked for them, actually.

394
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:02,000
But go on, I'm sorry. How many years or about? You don't have to give me an exact answer.

395
00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:06,880
Maybe this may be about five more.

396
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:11,040
Okay, great. And that one is a Girl Scout doll in your hand?

397
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:13,340
Yeah, she is a Girl Scout outfit.

398
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,720
And what else do they have? Do they have a revolutionary war or is it more?

399
00:37:19,140 --> 00:37:23,240
I think they do have one from around the revolutionary war time.

400
00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:30,420
I think they also have, they have a lot of different ones.

401
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:35,580
How did you come up with this idea?

402
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:43,280
Well, I went to the American Roles store a lot when I was younger and I really enjoyed going there

403
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,760
and then I also enjoyed reading the stories that they came with as well.

404
00:37:47,180 --> 00:37:52,240
And so when I was thinking about my project I was thinking how I also enjoyed reading

405
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:54,020
So I thought maybe something at the library,

406
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,780
and then I remember that the dolls, they have stories,

407
00:37:57,940 --> 00:37:59,480
and it would be good for younger readers.

408
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:00,680
Fantastic.

409
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,520
So I think your project is amazing,

410
00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:06,000
and I did get your email from the other day.

411
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,660
I'd happy to help you do anything,

412
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,420
and accomplish anything.

413
00:38:11,820 --> 00:38:13,000
I think your project's fantastic,

414
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,400
and I think your heart is adorable, by the way.

415
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:18,360
I just gotta tell you, put me down for a doll.

416
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:18,960
All right?

417
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:25,200
I am going to reply to your email and you're going to go to Amazon, you're going to send me the link.

418
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,420
I'm going to order it for you, put me down. I'm all in and if you need any help,

419
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,920
I'm going to reply, but I figured you were here tonight, so I'd speak to you in person.

420
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,440
But if you need any help, I'm here to help you and I think all of us are by the way,

421
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,340
but I'd be happy to help and put me down for one. All right. All right. Thank you.

422
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,780
Anyone else saw any? I think it's a wonderful, wonderful project and thank you. Thank you for doing that.

423
00:38:49,980 --> 00:38:52,220
Good luck, thank you so much.

424
00:38:57,690 --> 00:39:05,970
It is so great to see your youth take charge and have a project this so passionate about.

425
00:39:05,970 --> 00:39:08,290
I'm looking on Amazon right now.

426
00:39:08,630 --> 00:39:09,930
Look at this.

427
00:39:10,450 --> 00:39:12,190
Oh, absolutely.

428
00:39:12,570 --> 00:39:13,130
It's crazy.

429
00:39:14,090 --> 00:39:14,970
Have a great night.

430
00:39:14,970 --> 00:39:15,870
Thank you so much.

431
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,680
We will go to personnel,

432
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,840
promote Ian Richie to the position of provisional planner in the planning

433
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:41,440
department that will be from CSEA salary schedule A1 group 17 step one, 98,000 and

434
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,140
87,000 annually with benefits such as sick days, personal days, voting holidays, follow the

435
00:39:46,140 --> 00:39:51,800
the SCA agreement, and that let's see, he will have a probation

436
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:57,500
period of minimum of 12 weeks to a maximum of 52 weeks.

437
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:28,820
Be it further resolved that Ian Richie, shall retain all leave and reinstatement rights to the former permanent position of assistant planner, should the incumbent position, should he not be reachable on the civil service eligible list, resulting from the examination, or should the probationary period not be successfully completed, with all rights afforded under applicable civil service law, and then with this one I'll give a little explanation,

438
00:40:28,820 --> 00:40:35,600
with your point Catherine Richie as a member of the John C. Hart Memorial Library Board of Trustees

439
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:44,420
to fill the unexpired term of Kathy Lee in Pirato. Oh, sorry, law. Yes. Let me use my eyes.

440
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:52,880
Kathy and Pirato. I know. Let me borrow those glasses. The John C. Hart Memorial Library announces

441
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:58,480
that Library Board President Kathy Law in Pirato resigned from the Board of Trustees effective

442
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:05,000
August 31st, 2026, as she assumes additional professional responsibilities in her current role

443
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,040
at City College Maggett School of the Arts in Manhattan.

444
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:14,820
The Board of Trustees has appointed local resident Kathy Richie as a member at large to

445
00:41:14,820 --> 00:41:19,340
complete Ms. Law and Prato's unexpired term.

446
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:24,980
Trusty Vice President Jean Zapia will serve as acting president until the Board of

447
00:41:24,980 --> 00:41:31,520
it's officers at the September meeting. On behalf of the town, the library trustees and the

448
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:37,960
library staff, we extend our sincere appreciation to Kathy Law and Prado for her dedicated service

449
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:44,860
to the John C. Hart Memorial Library. Ms. Law and Prado has served the library board for a combined

450
00:41:44,860 --> 00:41:51,320
total of 11 years, including her leadership as board president. We thank her for her commitment,

451
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:57,780
floodful guidance and many contributions to the library and the community. Kathy, thank you so much,

452
00:41:57,900 --> 00:42:05,960
I know it's a very hard decision but your work was greatly appreciated in the town and wish you

453
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,560
nothing but luck and I'm sure that you will not be a stranger to the library.

454
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,720
I'm just going back get a message.

455
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,380
All right, so may I have a motion?

456
00:42:16,060 --> 00:42:16,680
Fall in favor?

457
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:17,360
Aye.

458
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:18,460
All right.

459
00:42:19,420 --> 00:42:21,280
We will now open the floor to public comment.

460
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,460
Please one time, three minutes per speaker.

461
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
You will come to the mic and introduce yourself.

462
00:42:27,420 --> 00:42:30,380
You do not need to wait for courtesy to floor.

463
00:42:30,420 --> 00:42:33,940
If you have an issue that you'd like to talk to the town board about, we're available via

464
00:42:33,940 --> 00:42:40,340
email, via phone, in person, I get stopped a lot in the market, whatever works.

465
00:42:40,340 --> 00:42:42,700
We're here to serve.

466
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,820
Good evening Chuck Newman, Field Stone Court.

467
00:42:46,180 --> 00:42:49,940
We're talking about e-bikes before and how difficult that is.

468
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,540
I got another one for you.

469
00:42:52,180 --> 00:42:56,340
I was watching Squawk Box in the morning in July,

470
00:42:56,780 --> 00:43:01,280
and I was interested because the CEO of Wonder was on.

471
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,240
And having just recently opened the town, I listened with interest.

472
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,520
And at the very end of his comments, he said,

473
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,820
and in January, we're going to start drone delivery.

474
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:19,060
So I looked into drone delivery, as I heard a little bit about that, now Amazon is doing drone delivery and a lot of municipalities around the country already believe it or not.

475
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:33,900
But the drone delivery companies that are currently doing drone delivery, including Amazon, are wing, which is Google, zip line, door-dash, and drone up.

476
00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:37,180
and that's created a noise and quality of life complaints.

477
00:43:37,660 --> 00:43:38,840
There are some quotes.

478
00:43:39,340 --> 00:43:41,860
I can hear them in my home, even when I'm inside

479
00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:43,460
the TV is on.

480
00:43:44,460 --> 00:43:47,140
Drone's passing over my house every three to five minutes.

481
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,600
They've taken away the piece in our neighborhood,

482
00:43:50,180 --> 00:43:53,360
the piece in our streets, drones are barely 100 feet

483
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:54,120
above our homes.

484
00:43:54,220 --> 00:43:56,080
Now, I really listen to this with interest

485
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,060
because a lot of times, depending upon the flight pattern

486
00:43:59,060 --> 00:44:02,640
for the county airport, we get some very low flying planes.

487
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:09,180
From the launch site, drones are around 80 pounds, take up multiple times a day.

488
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,840
Residents say that means flying over their homes or even nearby schools on a regular

489
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:18,220
basis, and they have described this drone traffic as a drone highway.

490
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,660
Common themes that are merging in communities of Michigan, Colorado, Nebraska, New York,

491
00:44:23,780 --> 00:44:27,320
and Texas, noise by far the most dominant theme.

492
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:32,300
persistent and high pitch buzzing, some describes it as a flying leaf

493
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:37,000
blower. Multiple flights per hour disturbance while sitting outside in the

494
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:42,200
comfort of your own backyard, disruption of otherwise quiet neighborhoods. One

495
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:48,060
concern is the concern is not necessarily that one drone is too loud, but

496
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:57,220
multiple drones flying over your home on a repeated basis. All day long. All day long.

497
00:44:57,220 --> 00:44:59,920
The neighborhood character is changing.

498
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,000
And they're becoming aerial logistics corridors. Safety, there have been crashes, there have been battery fires. I saw one video of a dog being impacted by a drone that was landing in someone's yard.

499
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:23,040
So there's noise, there's visual clutter, privacy concerns, wildlife impacts, property value concerns. So I'm going to leave these notes with the board if that's okay.

500
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,920
But town boards, municipalities can do very little.

501
00:45:28,380 --> 00:45:30,300
Our airspace is controlled by the FAA.

502
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,060
But there are things that we can demand.

503
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,280
Noise, frequency, decibel levels.

504
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,140
Number of flights per hour, number of flights per day.

505
00:45:41,700 --> 00:45:44,740
And flight corridors, are they flying over schools, parks,

506
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:47,080
playground, senior housing, historic districts.

507
00:45:48,220 --> 00:45:52,640
So the municipalities can, at least, encourage specific flight corridors.

508
00:45:53,500 --> 00:46:01,440
Okay, so I'm going to leave this with the town that was pretty much it Dordesche one month ago just announced that they're starting drone delivery

509
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,680
So this is something that I view as a real clear and present danger to our quality of life

510
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,020
Thank you, Chuck. Thank you very much for your time

511
00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:10,900
Thank you

512
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:15,120
Good evening, Jay Cobb stay

513
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:24,340
those of us who were in law enforcement or previously in law enforcement have red books by

514
00:46:24,340 --> 00:46:30,120
W Wilson and George Kelleyne talking about the broken windows theory.

515
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,640
Well, it's here in Yorktown.

516
00:46:33,180 --> 00:46:34,660
E-Bites have now grown.

517
00:46:35,180 --> 00:46:38,980
We have unregistered motorcycles and quads on the streets.

518
00:46:39,820 --> 00:46:40,800
All over town.

519
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,680
What do we get from the town board?

520
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:44,740
Nothing.

521
00:46:45,740 --> 00:46:49,240
Inaction for months on end.

522
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:56,240
We have comments, we have to coordinate with our jurisdictions joining us.

523
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:03,360
Why? Why? We talk about the vehicle and traffic law.

524
00:47:03,940 --> 00:47:05,760
We shouldn't talk about civil enforcement.

525
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,000
Something that we can do, but we have done nothing.

526
00:47:10,780 --> 00:47:16,040
I have sent emails, haven't gotten any responses from members of the town board.

527
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:25,260
Somebody's going to get killed, or hurt, and it's going to be the responsibility of the

528
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:31,620
town board for that happening because the town board has done nothing.

529
00:47:33,620 --> 00:47:37,040
I'll repeat, the town board has done nothing.

530
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:43,640
This has been going on for at least six months, maybe more, that has been brought up

531
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:50,740
town board meeting, and nothing has happened, nothing has been done. Thank you.

532
00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:54,480
Thank you, Jay.

533
00:48:00,510 --> 00:48:07,430
Peter Cleary, a four year resident of Yorktown. Just a few things to raise. I'd like

534
00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:12,070
to request that somebody from the town take a hard look at the intersection of Poplar

535
00:48:12,070 --> 00:48:17,890
and Forest Court, about a block East of Curry, maybe three quarters of a mile north of Sparkle Lake.

536
00:48:18,510 --> 00:48:25,930
I'm often in this area and drivers routinely run the three stop signs they are often failing to even slow down.

537
00:48:26,490 --> 00:48:32,050
Somebody's going to get heard, there's a ton of kids in that neighborhood, so if you could take a look at it, I'd appreciate it.

538
00:48:32,190 --> 00:48:37,290
I'd also like to know how and when safety upgrades and measures are tracked and prioritized.

539
00:48:38,490 --> 00:48:44,530
Next, I was disappointed to learn, a court denied the town's request for an injunction to stop

540
00:48:44,530 --> 00:48:50,910
your former friend and donor Mr. Kutuchi, from continuing to use town property to operate

541
00:48:50,910 --> 00:48:56,670
as commercial parking lot allegedly because the town attorney failed to file a basic document

542
00:48:56,670 --> 00:49:02,570
with the court. Could you clarify the discrepancy between the town attorney's statement and

543
00:49:02,570 --> 00:49:07,290
most recent photos of the site. According to the town attorney's statement to the media,

544
00:49:07,790 --> 00:49:13,270
Mr. Coutucci removed all the vehicles, dumpsters, and garbage from the lot. But when

545
00:49:13,270 --> 00:49:19,990
a journalist visited the site after the statement was made, the photos showed all the junk was still there.

546
00:49:21,170 --> 00:49:26,090
I'd also be interested to know how much money the town has spent on lawsuits and court filings

547
00:49:26,090 --> 00:49:31,970
related to this matter that seems to go on for years. It's a shame that while the developer

548
00:49:31,970 --> 00:49:37,770
is allegedly making money operating a commercial parking lot on town land.

549
00:49:37,950 --> 00:49:41,410
The town is spending tax payer dollars on losing lawsuits.

550
00:49:43,090 --> 00:49:44,350
How much is the town paying?

551
00:49:44,750 --> 00:49:51,030
Does the town's legal council contract cover all of these expenses or are there new fees

552
00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:53,910
related to the lawsuit that taxpayers will foot?

553
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,980
Finally, I was saddened to see yet another hate symbol in Europe.

554
00:50:02,810 --> 00:50:23,510
It seems every year since I moved here, another swastika appears in this town. It doesn't seem to happen in other towns, at least not with the regularity that I've seen it here. It's very disappointing. I'd love to know what you're going to be doing about it, why this is happening, and what can be done as a community to address and prevent this in the future.

555
00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:28,630
Finally, whoever mentioned Mel Tansman's passing, thank you very much.

556
00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:34,890
He was a friend of ours, an amazing advocate for the disability community.

557
00:50:35,550 --> 00:50:37,330
So, so, whomever that was, thank you.

558
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:39,560
Thank you, Peter.

559
00:50:44,220 --> 00:50:46,920
Good evening, Jan Mishon Donny, your ten heights.

560
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:55,800
I just wanted to add to the whole conversation about the e-bikes, bikes, mountain bikes, whatever.

561
00:50:56,580 --> 00:51:02,940
So, and I just wanted a clarification around when you said mountain bike, you know, all of

562
00:51:02,940 --> 00:51:04,720
these classifications are very different.

563
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,000
A mountain bike is different than a road bike, which is different than a hybrid bike, which

564
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,900
is different than a time trial bike, there's a million different iterations in there.

565
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:19,120
So my question to the board and my suggestion to the board is, as we start to try to address

566
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:24,660
the issue, perhaps we're putting the cart before the horse and a pun intended, and we really

567
00:51:24,660 --> 00:51:28,860
focus on what the problem is that we're trying to solve for if it's accidents, it's not

568
00:51:28,860 --> 00:51:32,940
a matter of what you're writing, it's a matter of how fast you're going and where you are.

569
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:37,140
So, you know, Susan, you were thinking when you said a mountain bike, I'm thinking, well,

570
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,560
it's less about the bike, but it's the terrain that you're writing on.

571
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,760
So that would be my suggestion for the board, as we try to address the issue, address the

572
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,900
issue and not the vehicle.

573
00:51:48,540 --> 00:51:50,400
So that's my suggestion for that.

574
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:58,380
And then also I wanted to commend the young woman who was here earlier, and I know somebody was mentioning something about scouts.

575
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,840
We actually had a very robust scouting community here in town.

576
00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:08,560
Now is the time actually a lot of these troops, girl scouts, and boy scouts are recruiting.

577
00:52:08,820 --> 00:52:11,720
And I say boy scouts is really scouting America now.

578
00:52:12,220 --> 00:52:16,080
We have male and female troops and packs available.

579
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:23,700
So, if anybody is interested in a fabulous activity for your school-aged child, beascout.org,

580
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:30,100
BE, A, Scout.org is what you'll find all kinds of troops here locally for scouting

581
00:52:30,100 --> 00:52:35,560
America at all age groups and Girl Scouts, Heart of the Hudson Girl Scouts, H, H,

582
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:37,080
.org.

583
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,180
And where you can find local Girl Scout troops.

584
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,460
I just wanted to put that out and encourage parents to find those units because they're

585
00:52:43,460 --> 00:52:44,940
both great organizations,

586
00:52:47,580 --> 00:52:51,260
and then lastly, I want to actually acknowledge Sarah Wilson.

587
00:52:52,300 --> 00:52:58,020
There was some obvious disappointment that the Grange overlaps with the Grange Fair this

588
00:52:58,020 --> 00:53:02,700
year overlaps with Rosh Hashanah that is an unfortunate timing, Sarah actually dug into

589
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:08,500
it for some of us and what she pointed out was that the Grange Fair is always the second weekend

590
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:14,680
in September, someone fortunate with the Jewish holidays kind of shifting around year to year.

591
00:53:14,860 --> 00:53:18,860
On occasion, it does unfortunately overlap and this just happens to be one of the years.

592
00:53:19,020 --> 00:53:24,640
So I just wanted to remind our community members that it wasn't anything that the Grange Fair did.

593
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:30,060
It just is an unfortunate salute of the timing and I want to thank Sarah for pointing that out.

594
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:30,620
Thank you.

595
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:32,240
Thank you.

596
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:36,600
Sarah Wilson.

597
00:53:36,940 --> 00:53:37,340
You're excited.

598
00:53:37,340 --> 00:53:37,840
Hi, sir.

599
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:38,860
Thank you, Chan.

600
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:40,260
Actually.

601
00:53:42,140 --> 00:53:48,380
Actually, I did look into the next 10 years, and there is no conflict over the next 10 years.

602
00:53:51,500 --> 00:54:01,960
And the Grange Fair Committee has also taken that into consideration that, at some time, in the future, if there is a conflict that they'll make sure to avoid that.

603
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,160
So there wasn't done on purpose.

604
00:54:03,220 --> 00:54:05,260
No, not at all, not at all.

605
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,020
So thank you for mentioning the Grange Fair.

606
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,940
You mentioned goats, the theme this year

607
00:54:10,940 --> 00:54:14,580
is goats, games, and good times at the fair.

608
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:18,000
It doesn't need start on Friday, 9, 11.

609
00:54:18,820 --> 00:54:22,000
But I mentioned last time at the tambored meeting

610
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,320
during comments that the contests don't just

611
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,980
attend the fair, but enter the contests.

612
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,520
And the contests start collecting drop-offs

613
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:39,860
As early as Monday Labor Day, depending on what contest it is, so, you know, baking, photography, art,

614
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:48,340
needlework, you know, you name it, flowers and produce are the things that I focus on.

615
00:54:48,460 --> 00:54:56,220
I'm looking forward to hearing from Tim Foley from the Building Realty Institute later this evening.

616
00:54:56,220 --> 00:54:59,960
and I want to say thank you to the refuse.

617
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:08,240
and recycling department for finally cleaning the food scrap drop-off bins. It makes a big difference.

618
00:55:08,740 --> 00:55:14,080
It's only the exterior of the bins, but that's a good start. So I appreciate that.

619
00:55:14,540 --> 00:55:24,180
And then lastly, on the topic of the bikes, what should we as residents do when we see something that is clear violation?

620
00:55:24,180 --> 00:55:26,100
You know, it's a young child.

621
00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:29,320
Somebody clearly under 16, you know,

622
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,180
zipping along the street.

623
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,940
You know, because there's some advice,

624
00:55:35,220 --> 00:55:37,820
should we take a photo or, you know,

625
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,820
somehow, I mean, what should we do?

626
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,580
Because, as you've all said,

627
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,580
I mean, it's an accident waiting to happen.

628
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,060
So, what can we as residents

629
00:55:46,060 --> 00:55:48,120
when we see these things do?

630
00:55:48,860 --> 00:55:49,260
Thank you.

631
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:50,600
Thank you.

632
00:55:56,630 --> 00:55:57,370
How are you, guys?

633
00:55:57,990 --> 00:55:58,710
Good evening, guys.

634
00:55:58,710 --> 00:56:06,390
Good evening board members. I'm here tonight as I'm here tonight as I'm here tonight as I

635
00:56:06,390 --> 00:56:10,650
have a resident and parent, but most of all I'm here as a son. Right beginning school has

636
00:56:10,650 --> 00:56:15,150
been an educational fixture in this town for 43 years. From more than 18 to those years my mother

637
00:56:15,150 --> 00:56:19,690
worked there. The Albert A. Kappellini Community and Cultural Center or sixth grade school has been

638
00:56:19,690 --> 00:56:23,950
her second home for as long as I can remember. The summer her dream came true when my three

639
00:56:23,950 --> 00:56:29,050
son began attending school upright beginnings. Today, that dream came to a crashing halt. The school

640
00:56:29,050 --> 00:56:33,270
suddenly closed after eight in a town of Cannot region agreement on its lease. There are two

641
00:56:33,270 --> 00:56:37,910
size to every story, and a business has every right to end its lease on its own terms, but it's

642
00:56:37,910 --> 00:56:42,510
not a period to be what happened here. My concern is how a decade-old school in a town owned building

643
00:56:43,490 --> 00:56:47,490
closed with little knowledge or insight from this town board. Town employees have their roles

644
00:56:47,490 --> 00:56:51,230
and responsibilities, but they are elected. They're not elected officials. They're sculpted

645
00:56:51,230 --> 00:56:53,230
and the answer up the chain of commands.

646
00:56:53,710 --> 00:56:55,830
That is not, this was not handled correctly in my opinion.

647
00:56:56,550 --> 00:56:59,070
So I have the five or six questions I'm sorry for this board.

648
00:56:59,510 --> 00:57:02,370
One was this board aware the school was struggling and did

649
00:57:02,370 --> 00:57:03,410
discussion about it's rent.

650
00:57:04,190 --> 00:57:07,130
Two, why was at least an autonomous building being discussed

651
00:57:07,130 --> 00:57:09,510
or negotiated while this board was on summer

652
00:57:09,510 --> 00:57:10,890
recess for lack of a better term?

653
00:57:11,450 --> 00:57:13,410
Three, the town employees tell you the school

654
00:57:13,410 --> 00:57:15,150
is in danger of closing over right issues

655
00:57:15,150 --> 00:57:17,550
or did you have to hear it from the school first?

656
00:57:17,550 --> 00:57:21,990
for why was the school given nothing in writing so they can make an informed decision?

657
00:57:24,450 --> 00:57:28,590
Since the school's closure, officially, has any member of this board going to break

658
00:57:28,590 --> 00:57:32,250
beginnings to speak with them or speak with the staff, ask what happened and wish them

659
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:32,730
well?

660
00:57:33,370 --> 00:57:33,590
And 6.

661
00:57:33,810 --> 00:57:38,930
Is this common place for a negotiation to occur with a lease or a attendant without the

662
00:57:38,930 --> 00:57:41,130
town supervisor or a town board member present?

663
00:57:42,730 --> 00:57:46,750
Mr. Supervisor, I thank you personally for calling me to speak through this.

664
00:57:46,750 --> 00:57:51,110
really do truly appreciate it. But two wrongs do not make her write in the situation, telling

665
00:57:51,110 --> 00:57:54,830
me, let's speak with the employees, so we hope this never happens again, is simply not

666
00:57:54,830 --> 00:57:59,170
an acceptable answer, given the gravity of the situation and how many people are hurt by it.

667
00:57:59,470 --> 00:58:04,930
A 40-year school has gone, parents, including myself, were given two days notice to find

668
00:58:04,930 --> 00:58:09,050
the other school in place for our children to go. Teachers are suddenly out of work, including

669
00:58:09,050 --> 00:58:14,190
my mother after 18 years of occupation here. This board says it supports small business, and

670
00:58:14,190 --> 00:58:19,070
situation it appears that this is not the case. The staff, students, and and

671
00:58:19,070 --> 00:58:21,770
community has a whole of break beginnings, there's also much better.

672
00:58:22,230 --> 00:58:24,410
Thank you. Thank you, Matt. Thank you.

673
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:35,840
Good evening, Ken Vell for mostly with my Mohiegen Lake shirt on which you can't

674
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:43,010
seek. Anyway, a couple of things. One, I wasn't aware of Mel Tan's

675
00:58:43,010 --> 00:58:48,950
minst passing, which I'm very sorry to hear of. I had worked with him in

676
00:58:48,950 --> 00:58:56,010
situations over many years. Some of those adversarial as he was advocating for disabled persons

677
00:58:56,010 --> 00:59:01,890
who were residents in housing that I managed, but I always had the utmost respect for him

678
00:59:01,890 --> 00:59:13,430
and his dedication to working with the disabled community was unparalleled. I just came from

679
00:59:13,430 --> 00:59:14,910
something very interesting,

680
00:59:16,930 --> 00:59:21,930
the Putnam Valley Town Supervisor hosted a meeting of what she's

681
00:59:21,930 --> 00:59:27,670
called a commission of lakes. They have a lot of lakes in Putnam Valley and had invited

682
00:59:27,670 --> 00:59:36,570
me to speak about one thing, but it was great seeing that forum and how many issues and

683
00:59:36,570 --> 00:59:45,170
and lakes have and how getting together in one place and having a discussion, you know,

684
00:59:45,330 --> 00:59:50,370
helps with the sharing of information, and so it was, it was a great experience.

685
00:59:51,490 --> 00:59:56,570
Last of all, the last time I spoke at courtesy of the floor, I was stimulated to speak

686
00:59:56,570 --> 00:59:59,970
by the discussion of bad e-bikes and so I've been...

687
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:29,980
I spoke about an issue we were having around Lake Mohigen and I just had a follow-up discussion on that with Jim Margarano today and I think we have some solutions in mind, but on a piece of town on property right at the along the edge of the lake, they've actually built a track for e-bikes and another motorized bikes. They dug into them, the mud and all of them.

688
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:36,080
there. They've actually built a bridge over a stormwater channel for the bikes to go over.

689
01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:43,060
We got Jim and I met on site. We actually got the opportunity to see a kid come on his e-bike

690
01:00:43,060 --> 01:00:48,560
and he saw a car with a town logo on the side parked right in front of where it was about to go in

691
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:54,080
and he likes. Steve, they're looking and paused and then he went into a house that was right across

692
01:00:54,080 --> 01:01:00,760
street and next thing is his mom came out with them and soon she had her husband on the

693
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:07,180
phone who was at work and we talked to all three of them and had a very good dialogue

694
01:01:07,180 --> 01:01:15,300
and they had no idea that they weren't supposed to be doing that. I was a little concerned

695
01:01:15,300 --> 01:01:20,400
because he couldn't his brother then at the end of the conversation when racing down the street

696
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:37,500
on there to e-bikes, and I thought goodness if I was a parent, I'm not sure I would feel that comfortable with kids on the streets around Mohegan Lake, but anyway, it's a work in progress, but I do think it's growing exponentially as a problem.

697
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:38,120
Yes.

698
01:01:39,340 --> 01:01:39,980
Thank you, Ken.

699
01:01:41,740 --> 01:01:43,560
Anyone else for courtesy of the floor?

700
01:01:45,180 --> 01:01:46,620
Motion of close courtesy of the floor?

701
01:01:46,820 --> 01:01:46,960
Motion.

702
01:01:47,780 --> 01:01:48,060
Second.

703
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:49,020
All in favor?

704
01:01:49,620 --> 01:01:49,700
All right.

705
01:01:50,340 --> 01:01:54,200
All right, I'm going to start at the bottom work up.

706
01:01:54,420 --> 01:02:00,680
Ken, you right, Mel was a phenomenal advocate through my time, you know, in the communities,

707
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,880
not only in New York town, but I've run into many people that he's worked with and passion.

708
01:02:06,260 --> 01:02:11,900
He's like the word to describe on how he was and we have the front parking to, you know,

709
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:17,060
to his credit that the here for the, for the handicap spots and that whole section.

710
01:02:17,060 --> 01:02:21,000
And so, just an amazing advocate,

711
01:02:23,260 --> 01:02:28,860
the e-bikes, and you just sort of brought up one of the

712
01:02:28,860 --> 01:02:39,080
true realities is the parents not being involved, not knowing, not even, you know, you

713
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,620
watched those kids drive off and your thought was exactly what mine was.

714
01:02:42,620 --> 01:02:48,060
I would hate to see my kids speeding around a lake, God forbid they fall in or whatever, and

715
01:02:50,590 --> 01:02:58,350
I come back, and I really keep preaching this.

716
01:02:59,190 --> 01:03:07,750
And unfortunately as we see it's not there, we could legislate to the cows come home, but if the parents don't step in, the parents don't understand.

717
01:03:08,470 --> 01:03:14,390
One of the things that we were talking about in legislation is putting together a package for any of the stores.

718
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:20,150
it's so within our town with all the rules, regulation laws, so they could hand that to the

719
01:03:20,150 --> 01:03:20,490
parents.

720
01:03:21,390 --> 01:03:25,970
But, you know, what do you do if I buy my bike in Mount Kisco or on Amazon and the

721
01:03:25,970 --> 01:03:27,770
drone comes and drops it off?

722
01:03:29,570 --> 01:03:36,030
So we have, you know, we're really facing a situation that, you know, every time we cut off

723
01:03:36,030 --> 01:03:41,330
one head to grows back, it's like a hydrate, it really is, so, you know, we'll keep plugging

724
01:03:41,330 --> 01:03:46,890
way, and I'll hit J's comment on this just that, you know, yes, it's taken a while.

725
01:03:47,490 --> 01:03:51,610
We have had some e-bike laws, a matter of fact, the last time it came up.

726
01:03:52,050 --> 01:03:57,010
We had a group of the people from the Trail Committee complaining that we should not be

727
01:03:57,010 --> 01:04:02,430
limiting the e-bikes because of the fact that people do use them to experience the afterwards

728
01:04:02,430 --> 01:04:03,050
it can't.

729
01:04:04,390 --> 01:04:08,350
So, Adam and I were talking about some of those in one of our last conversations regarding

730
01:04:08,350 --> 01:04:12,570
it, not, I don't know if you have any more on that, but I'll have a couple of things

731
01:04:12,570 --> 01:04:13,090
if you anyway,

732
01:04:15,530 --> 01:04:19,890
but, you know, we want to get it right and, you know, it does seem like

733
01:04:19,890 --> 01:04:24,510
inactivity that it's not been inactivity. It's been a lot of conversation to make sure

734
01:04:24,510 --> 01:04:31,150
we're there and, you know, multiple people doing research and contributing, so we will keep

735
01:04:31,150 --> 01:04:37,930
working it, hopefully by the end of September, have something, getting stuff out to the school,

736
01:04:37,930 --> 01:04:46,110
the resource officers. We've been talking about some enforcement with our bike team, the E-bike team,

737
01:04:46,330 --> 01:04:53,050
that's out there. And from the civil point of view, you know, you're right, we can confiscate,

738
01:04:53,230 --> 01:04:59,210
we can teach, we can warn, we just can't take it, the kids is, you know, there's no mechanism for that.

739
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,220
But we will keep pushing.

740
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:28,180
Matt, you and I had a long conversation. And as you started, there are two parts to every story. And, you know, unfortunately, as I looked back and as I was reading some of the emails to you, there was a conversation about it. And then they went into a meeting. And immediately after the meeting was a notice that there was going to be closure. It wasn't brought to the board. I think Lonnie has been over. Do you want to?

741
01:05:28,180 --> 01:05:38,500
you know, I would add matter. I really, I did meet with your mom after after the fact and quite

742
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:45,780
frankly, I think that it was handled poorly. And I mentioned, but I think it was handled poorly.

743
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:57,480
In that, the board not being advised what was going on and part of that and I told her that

744
01:05:58,180 --> 01:06:07,280
You don't want to I don't want to blame the victim such a speak, but I told her I think that it would have been I I only wish that a month

745
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:12,800
Book when she realized she was having difficulty or they were having the they were having difficulty.

746
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,980
They asked to make a presentation before the board.

747
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:25,020
We all would have been I believe were open to having a discussion and it just it wasn't done.

748
01:06:25,020 --> 01:06:35,400
again, I don't want to blame. I think it was handled poorly by everyone and I apologize to her

749
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:44,020
and I asked her if there was any way that we could see if we could move forward in any event

750
01:06:44,020 --> 01:06:49,880
and any way and she indicated they had already made the decision that, you know, at this stage

751
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:57,260
it didn't make sense to go forward, and the last thing that she, I left her with was that we

752
01:06:57,260 --> 01:07:05,900
would consider any issues that to try to make the transition of the closing as painless

753
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:14,160
as possible. And I mentioned that maybe we can try to accommodate that. But I agree that

754
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:18,540
was I really have deep regrets for how this was handled.

755
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,000
Thank you, honey.

756
01:07:23,340 --> 01:07:29,960
Sarah, the grains, and I've had, I guess, being Jewish, quite a few people reached out to

757
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:35,420
me and I did tell them the exact same thing that, you know, I'm aware of the floating holiday

758
01:07:35,420 --> 01:07:42,920
and the perfect lineup of labor-daving, so late for the second weekend as well as Russia

759
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:50,160
on a being so early. Doesn't happen that often. I know you said you look 10 years out and I know

760
01:07:51,140 --> 01:07:57,740
it's probably a lot further than that. I haven't gotten through the Jewish calendar yet, but

761
01:07:57,740 --> 01:08:02,560
you know, I notice that with lighting your sights as well, just sometimes it's really crazy

762
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:12,400
two in a year, one in none in one year, but you know it's as explained the the Granges not and I think

763
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:17,480
there actually in their bylaws, specifically not a religious organization,

764
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,800
and with the state

765
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:30,000
of Judaism being that you have so many different sects that being reformed myself, I will

766
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:36,680
be visiting, but I can understand those that can't let follow the religion, but that

767
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:42,380
is a choice in our everyday, as just as keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath, those

768
01:08:42,380 --> 01:08:49,380
all choices that in our heart we make for our religion and if that's a case and you know it is a shame

769
01:08:49,380 --> 01:08:56,560
but I am sure that there are people who understand through the town and and I'm hoping for a great

770
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:03,520
range of air this year. One of my favorite lines about the Jewish holidays is the people say they're

771
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:08,060
either they're either earlier they're late but they're never on time so it's it's very difficult to

772
01:09:08,060 --> 01:09:10,880
to make plans in advance.

773
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:11,940
Right, absolutely.

774
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,120
I think one year though, you speak on time

775
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:16,260
it lined up with Christmas.

776
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:18,220
Well, for Hanukkah.

777
01:09:18,260 --> 01:09:18,760
Thank you.

778
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:19,500
Thank you.

779
01:09:19,500 --> 01:09:19,560
Thank you.

780
01:09:21,380 --> 01:09:24,040
Hanukkah actually was Thanksgiving weekend

781
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,100
to at one point.

782
01:09:25,660 --> 01:09:26,900
There you go.

783
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,680
So you did forget to mention this,

784
01:09:32,740 --> 01:09:33,840
I know you've been an advocate,

785
01:09:34,140 --> 01:09:35,400
and we have the framework done,

786
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:40,800
but we will be doing food scraps at Mohegan Lake Park as well,

787
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,280
the over by the Brian J.5 and aquatic facility.

788
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:47,640
So we're waiting on the containers to come in.

789
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:53,240
I'm glad you noticed the clean tub we got a special power washer

790
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:53,960
for that.

791
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,500
We do need to figure out the inside if you have ideas

792
01:09:56,500 --> 01:09:59,760
on what they're doing, please let me know in other towns.

793
01:09:59,760 --> 01:09:59,980
.

794
01:10:00,300 --> 01:10:05,820
Because that insight really does when I was putting my scraps on the other day as I move.

795
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:17,520
So, and I know we spoke about e-bikes. Scouting is a great way for your kids to learn, to learn some great, great habits.

796
01:10:17,620 --> 01:10:25,540
And as we saw that with the young lady today with Claire, drive determination, bringing your dreams to realization.

797
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:32,240
really is a great thing for our children so you know for those

798
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,180
volunteer with scouting we definitely appreciate it I've quite a few friends or

799
01:10:36,180 --> 01:10:42,720
scout masters we have one of my friends sitting in the back there Kevin has been

800
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:49,140
a scout master for years and you know what I know the dedication that it

801
01:10:49,140 --> 01:10:50,080
takes.

802
01:10:52,220 --> 01:10:59,080
Pete, I will definitely talk to our police about checking out that three

803
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:08,220
way stop and seeing what they could do to get a little enforcement over there. I'm going

804
01:11:08,220 --> 01:11:15,020
to let Adam speak about the lawsuit, but I will say that people love to point out

805
01:11:15,020 --> 01:11:20,000
that some of them made a donation to my campaign and he's my friend, but if you read his

806
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:25,360
article that you guys posted on your Facebook page, he does not consider me a friend and

807
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:26,720
rightfully so.

808
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:31,660
I've always said that people can contribute to whatever person they want to.

809
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,680
Some contribute to multiple parties.

810
01:11:34,420 --> 01:11:40,660
It does not buy favoritism or should not buy favoritism and, you know, I thank you for pointing

811
01:11:40,660 --> 01:11:46,120
it out, but I wish you would point out the fact that he was adamant about the fact

812
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,700
that why thought I would get something for that.

813
01:11:48,700 --> 01:11:54,560
And he hasn't donated for a while.

814
01:11:55,160 --> 01:12:00,200
I don't really watch that, but I will assume that David McCay Wilson did his homework,

815
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:10,920
but you know, people can do that and I just hope that all people in politics public office

816
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:17,360
take the heart that a donation is based on belief, it should not be based on favoritism.

817
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:25,320
And as for the SWAT stickers, yeah, you know, it has popped up in our town.

818
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,780
I do see it all over when I read the news.

819
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:31,240
I get quite a few things.

820
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:41,920
I don't think it's something that is a runaway train in Yorktown, one every year, year and

821
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,220
a half, two years, whatever it is, is too many.

822
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:54,820
One is too many, but you know what, there are some sick people out there and it's unfortunate.

823
01:12:54,820 --> 01:13:10,060
I saw one post on Facebook, someone criticizing our congressman Mike Lawler and the post was at 6 million more or hashtag 6 million more.

824
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:15,480
How someone puts that up, how someone thinks that that's acceptable? I don't know.

825
01:13:15,860 --> 01:13:18,040
What is the answer?

826
01:13:19,060 --> 01:13:26,720
And it's definitely not the town government going to your children and telling them you can't do this, but we will continue to do our education.

827
01:13:27,660 --> 01:13:29,080
I do the Holocaust Remembrance.

828
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,340
We do the October 7th Remembrance.

829
01:13:33,980 --> 01:13:41,680
We also had out of this group form, a Talia Pearson, has been very active in the community.

830
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:47,020
she's actually not only our communities, she talks through health, the state from what I understand.

831
01:13:48,440 --> 01:13:54,060
And we just need people to keep advocating. I do work with the Holocaust and Human Rights Commission.

832
01:13:55,020 --> 01:14:02,460
I've had Millie Jasper reach out about this in particular. We are doing programs within our schools

833
01:14:02,460 --> 01:14:09,220
that we don't have control over per se, but we do help assist with Holocaust and Human Rights

834
01:14:09,220 --> 01:14:16,260
getting in there and they've been very, very welcome to it. But a lot of these we go back to what I

835
01:14:16,260 --> 01:14:21,680
said before a lot of these come from parenting. Although one of the cases was not so much parenting,

836
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:27,960
it was actually a Jewish kid, did a swastik or tried blaming it on someone else, which is a shame,

837
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:34,740
because we should understand those of us that are Jewish with that means and how hateful that is

838
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:44,500
how poor of a symbol that is for people, but, you know, I think I wrote something in my

839
01:14:44,500 --> 01:14:52,240
post that I pray for a time that we don't have this, but we will keep doing the educational

840
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,260
know is much as possible.

841
01:14:58,130 --> 01:14:59,970
See Jay, we spoke about you, Mike.

842
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,560
So, Chuck, drone delivery, thank you. You know, it's funny because I was watching the news the other day and they showed a drone dropping a package into someone's pool.

843
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:26,140
So, I will definitely sit down, get a little research, but like you said, it is FAA approved and there are definitely I already popped up a little research while while you were talking to open it and make sure I could get it later.

844
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,300
But, yeah, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

845
01:15:29,780 --> 01:15:32,440
They are super noisy, very loud.

846
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:41,280
The amount of, to get lift, the amount of air that the NS of this place is just, it, they

847
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,780
are really loud and they're flying around and I, I don't know, you know, I mean, we really

848
01:15:45,780 --> 01:15:46,680
got to look into it.

849
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:50,760
I'm not sure there's anything we could do at the local level here, but we might be able to

850
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:55,400
put up some noise ordinance type things, but we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll

851
01:15:55,400 --> 01:16:04,400
It's going to point it out, you made a good analogy, it sounds like a lawnmower, and you know that you could do something with maybe with a noise ordinance.

852
01:16:04,940 --> 01:16:14,460
Adam, I know you addressed for us earlier, the, the, it's not a loss of the lawsuit, but the, yeah, yeah.

853
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:16,440
I mean, the two, three guys.

854
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:23,080
So to clarify, the lawsuit is pending, the lawsuit's going to be answered, the lawsuit will be litigated or settled.

855
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:32,320
What the judge did was deny the motion for preliminary injunction and so just to kind of go through it quickly.

856
01:16:32,900 --> 01:16:33,820
Well, think of step backwards.

857
01:16:34,980 --> 01:16:35,920
Well, I'll not go in that order.

858
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:44,200
So what the judge said was there had been no proof of service and that the affirmation was not sufficient for the application.

859
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:50,620
taking reverse order. I agree that the affirmation wouldn't be sufficient, but we had a verify

860
01:16:50,620 --> 01:16:54,760
complaint, which is 10 amounts of an affidavit, which should have been considered by the judge.

861
01:16:55,260 --> 01:16:59,540
In terms of proof of service, we had in fact obtained waiver of service. The reason we had

862
01:16:59,540 --> 01:17:05,700
not loaded it or addressed any of these issues, because we were working out an extension because

863
01:17:05,700 --> 01:17:10,480
we were trying to talk about resolution, so we agreed to give an extension of time. Based on various

864
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:16,740
representations that were made to me, which I'll get to in a second, turned out to be incorrect, false.

865
01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:24,460
And so, we are not precluded from going back to the judge for reconsideration, or re-filing a motion, which we may in fact be doing.

866
01:17:25,340 --> 01:17:31,780
But to answer one of the questions about, you know, I said that the guy's stuff was up property, that's what I was told.

867
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:35,540
I have it in black and white, and then they're not being true.

868
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:36,440
I'm just returning.

869
01:17:36,660 --> 01:17:37,980
Yes, that's what I can say.

870
01:17:37,980 --> 01:17:44,060
And I'll also put in that the board had asked that a conversation go on because we would

871
01:17:44,060 --> 01:17:50,340
rather find a resolution than jump into a lawsuit that's going to cost everyone money.

872
01:17:52,860 --> 01:17:56,480
But you know, sometimes you meet an impact.

873
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:02,080
So we did have discussion about that, which we can't share because it was in our closed

874
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:08,220
session, but we will be moving forward with some different options.

875
01:18:09,580 --> 01:18:14,480
I just got a couple of things real quick. We got some stuff that we still got to get

876
01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:21,360
on to what the meeting. So Ken, thank you for sharing your story. I just visited

877
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:27,440
another place, I'm not going to disclose the location, that there is an issue where

878
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:36,760
kids on e-bikes have made their own path, this is the ground property, it's on private property.

879
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:46,780
And it's something that I'm going to try to address for the property owner and take the steps that I deem, you know,

880
01:18:47,140 --> 01:18:52,560
but the neighbors are complaining, so that's what, and I got to call about it.

881
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:56,980
So it's something that that's definitely needs to be addressed.

882
01:18:57,620 --> 01:19:03,880
You said one very important thing, just like I picked up on on Chuck's analogy with

883
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:04,520
lawnmowers.

884
01:19:06,260 --> 01:19:12,760
You said that you just happened to be there when the kid showed up on his e-bike.

885
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,700
And that is the challenge.

886
01:19:16,180 --> 01:19:21,760
The challenge in creating a new law is how do you identify, like a car you could take

887
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:27,820
license plate. A motorcycle, you can take the license plate. Yeah, you get a description and all that stuff.

888
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:38,760
But how do you identify, you know, a kid on an e-bike, and how do you, you know, do some enforcement action,

889
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:43,940
unless you just, you know, quote unquote happen to be there, you know, at the time when something's going on.

890
01:19:44,700 --> 01:19:50,140
That's the difficulty and that's the challenge and that's one of the critical things we have to address

891
01:19:50,140 --> 01:19:56,680
in a new law. Like what do we do? How do we identify these things? And how do we know

892
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,960
who, you know, the alleged perpetrator, looks...

893
01:20:02,460 --> 01:20:18,760
That's being reckless on these things. That is the quintessential question that we have to answer if we're going to have really significant and effective enforcement.

894
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,840
And that's something that we're going to have to delve into.

895
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:27,080
I spoke to work up with people on this side about, you know,

896
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:28,400
possibly doing a registration.

897
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,920
You know, you have to register to buy your, you know, something to that effect.

898
01:20:33,820 --> 01:20:37,040
Because you have to answer the question of identification.

899
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,020
You can't ID the bike.

900
01:20:39,420 --> 01:20:42,160
If there's no significant thing that's going to take you back,

901
01:20:42,420 --> 01:20:43,720
you see a card doing something wrong.

902
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:45,720
You take the license plate, you report it to police to police.

903
01:20:45,740 --> 01:20:47,520
When the plate, they show up at your house.

904
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:59,840
right? You're speeding and you go through an area where they have cameras. You know, speed cameras. You get a ticket in the mail because it takes a picture of you.

905
01:21:00,020 --> 01:21:14,360
You blow the easy pass of a checkpoint. It takes a picture of your license plate. You get a fine in the mail. How do we get to that place with eBikes?

906
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:21,460
And I think that's really the question that we have to answer, and we've taken steps by having a bike unit,

907
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:26,820
you know, because that's, that's where, but you still happen, you still have to happen to be there when the thing occurs,

908
01:21:26,820 --> 01:21:38,360
and that's really where it gets, you know, a little in the weeds and how we're going to be able to get to an endpoint where we have effective enforcement.

909
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,820
not just a forcement, where you just happen to be there, right?

910
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,360
And you can't have a cop on every corner either, right?

911
01:21:44,380 --> 01:21:45,580
We don't want that, right?

912
01:21:45,980 --> 01:21:48,840
So that's really where we're going to go.

913
01:21:49,220 --> 01:21:51,780
The swastika, disgusting.

914
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,920
I don't even understand what people are.

915
01:21:56,820 --> 01:21:59,360
I'm going to shut up because I'm going to probably

916
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:05,980
get myself into trouble because when somebody does something like that,

917
01:22:06,260 --> 01:22:08,360
I mean, I just don't understand the mentality.

918
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,340
I don't understand how you could get there. I don't understand how you can have that much hate in your heart

919
01:22:12,340 --> 01:22:18,200
I'm just not that type of person. What I will say is that our pork supportment and our supervisor responded

920
01:22:19,020 --> 01:22:24,380
Almost immediately when we were a prize of this situation. I was out of town, but

921
01:22:24,940 --> 01:22:28,860
And they took care of it practically to erase the blight

922
01:22:30,380 --> 01:22:35,100
For lack of a more passionate better term that would describe it. So

923
01:22:35,100 --> 01:22:37,660
Really really really disheartening

924
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:55,280
Okay, a couple of things regarding Mel Tansman. He was a true asset to the town, to the handicap community.

925
01:22:55,280 --> 01:23:05,340
And many people don't may not realize but we actually was considering running for public

926
01:23:05,340 --> 01:23:06,620
office at one time.

927
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:14,540
And the two of us had a very, very good relationship with one another and he'll be missed.

928
01:23:15,420 --> 01:23:21,600
Jay, I apologize for not specifically answering your email on the subject.

929
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:27,640
I saw the subject matter, and I know that we've had informal conversations about it, so I

930
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:34,000
didn't feel that it was necessary to necessarily respond to the email, but I do apologize

931
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,020
because you should have gotten a response.

932
01:23:38,440 --> 01:23:46,460
Sergio, you're absolutely right in terms of the issue of how you enforce this.

933
01:23:46,460 --> 01:23:55,380
I was writing on 132 the other day and behind two kids on e-bikes, one of them popping wheelies

934
01:23:55,380 --> 01:24:03,180
in front of me. And when we got to Wildwood Street, you know, off of 132 and there's the light

935
01:24:03,180 --> 01:24:16,020
when you exit off of the Tecanic onto 132. The kids just blew by a red light and almost had a terrible

936
01:24:16,460 --> 01:24:22,700
incident that the car actually had to veer off who was making the left-hand turn.

937
01:24:24,700 --> 01:24:31,700
And within a few seconds they were gone, so I don't know how you like you say in terms

938
01:24:31,700 --> 01:24:37,080
of maybe we can require some sort of plate that at least they can be identified by.

939
01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:44,100
But even there I don't know whether or not they would have been identified, so it's very

940
01:24:44,100 --> 01:24:45,320
difficult to enforce.

941
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:52,460
But we need to address it as best we can, and thank you for bringing up the issue of the drones.

942
01:24:52,700 --> 01:24:55,720
I think, you know, we have to keep moving forward.

943
01:24:56,180 --> 01:24:59,980
For every mouse trap, there's a better mouse and for every...

944
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:09,860
The issue that we deal with, we have to keep abreast of all of every issue that's a quality of life issue in the town.

945
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:14,480
And thank you for bringing it forward. That's it for me.

946
01:25:15,060 --> 01:25:19,580
I'll try to be quick, but there are 11 interesting items that we brought up.

947
01:25:19,980 --> 01:25:23,400
Beater in terms of the traffic and you're concerned about the stops.

948
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:31,720
I think if perhaps the supervisor can talk to the chief, they do, I think, maintain something called a hot list or something like that,

949
01:25:32,500 --> 01:25:39,220
where to the extent that the traffic unit has the available time, they could sit there and possibly give tickets.

950
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:47,520
And if it free people who usually use that corridor, they get a ticket, that might teach them a lesson.

951
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:54,340
So I think if Ed, if you could let you totally know on that, I'm looking to achieve an issue

952
01:25:55,300 --> 01:26:04,140
because it's said this is a litigation, it's a legal issue, we can talk much publicly

953
01:26:04,140 --> 01:26:11,120
but I have to say as a board member, I am thoroughly frustrated at how this has been handled

954
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,040
for going on two years.

955
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:20,000
And I wish I could say more, but I can't, but it's been two years and I'm just not, not happy.

956
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:25,920
Drones, I can't believe, of all of the years I've been watching town government.

957
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,300
There are always new issues that we never thought about.

958
01:26:28,780 --> 01:26:30,500
We had, now we're dealing with e-vikes.

959
01:26:31,060 --> 01:26:34,640
Last year it was the cell towers and now it's drones.

960
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:36,820
Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

961
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:42,400
I don't know what we can do about it, but Sergio, I think you've been looking at the noise ordinance.

962
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:48,360
and we were talking about updating it and tweaking it to deal with the base noise from the base

963
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:53,460
frequencies dealing with the from the the T-bar maybe there's something we can do about

964
01:26:53,460 --> 01:27:01,020
drone noise again we have to deal with the FAA but you've let us know that there's one more issue

965
01:27:01,020 --> 01:27:06,800
how played is overflowing but we will try to deal with it. I think I hit the nail on the head

966
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:16,800
I mean, I think that may be a way into addressing the issue, but I don't know anything about this.

967
01:27:17,580 --> 01:27:22,580
I'm constantly learning. For as long as I've been sitting here, there's never any end to it.

968
01:27:23,580 --> 01:27:27,640
The new things that I have to learn about and how you deal with them.

969
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:33,200
On the mountain bikes, there are many issues to your point Jan about definition.

970
01:27:34,140 --> 01:27:40,040
I'm not a cyclist, but I'm learning all about different bikes and I've gone back and forth with the

971
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:46,840
family, who's the head of the Westchester Mountain Bike Association, learning how you'd define it

972
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:50,520
and also with the Westchester Bike Club we're going back and forth.

973
01:27:50,980 --> 01:27:59,380
According to his latest exchange, we won't talk about mountain bikes, we're going to be talking about off-road bikes.

974
01:27:59,380 --> 01:28:05,580
And that's what we're talking about because we're talking about the bikes that are used on the trails

975
01:28:05,580 --> 01:28:13,280
which are typically called mountain bikes and there's basically a class one mountain bike that are e-mountain bikes.

976
01:28:14,060 --> 01:28:15,620
So everything is in the definition.

977
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:20,320
We learned this when we were dealing with the ATV law two years ago

978
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,660
the problem with defining these things.

979
01:28:22,660 --> 01:28:43,340
And it's evolving, there's always some new kind of thing, and I had contested that I have to learn what's a dirt bike, which category is a dirt bike, and then they're the east scooters, and then they're the personal mobility devices like the wheelchairs, and we have to define those, and if we say bicycles can't go on sidewalks, but we want to allow personal mobility vehicles.

980
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:49,000
So they're all of these complications and definitions become very critical, so we know what we're regulating.

981
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,600
In terms of enforcement, it's been talked about, okay, and the problem.

982
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,660
One of the things that I'm looking into and I trying to dialogue with the town of

983
01:28:59,660 --> 01:29:05,500
turning, it's looking at our existing law, for example, in the ATV law, it says the

984
01:29:05,500 --> 01:29:09,440
enforcement is the chief of police and anybody else who he designates.

985
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:14,720
I don't know what that means, okay, and how do you, do you have to officially designate

986
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:15,100
somebody?

987
01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:18,480
It's any cop, basically, that works for him.

988
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:25,580
Well, then in the section that I think Jay pointed out about the signage with the bicycles

989
01:29:25,580 --> 01:29:29,240
and the parks, it says parks personnel.

990
01:29:30,220 --> 01:29:36,980
So who at least can we identify as who with the potential people, certainly, if they're

991
01:29:36,980 --> 01:29:41,320
staff from the parks department, working around the track, which is one of the problems

992
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:43,040
with regular bikes and e-bikes.

993
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:49,340
If a parks department person sees something, can they take whatever is the appropriate action?

994
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:55,980
In terms of the public, we've got to be careful to many of us will remember what happened to Mr. Mothit.

995
01:29:56,380 --> 01:29:59,960
When he had a confrontation with some ATV users.

996
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:28,600
All right, we don't want that to get involved. I don't know whether a license plate will do anything because they're going by 20 miles an hour and who's who can read it bad enough at a car with a big license plate, right in fact. I don't know what you can see on the thing. We do the best we can granted with with the limitations, but we will try and this is what we will look at and again with with civil penalties and and pounding one of the things I want to talk about.

997
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:34,840
And again, within the constraints for the e-bike law and what the state says how much more

998
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:39,480
we can do here in Yorktown, it's a very legal issue.

999
01:30:41,260 --> 01:30:42,220
Right beginnings,

1000
01:30:47,440 --> 01:30:50,720
Matt, totally no knowledge from the town board.

1001
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:56,220
And his line he said, I don't know how this was handled, but it was mishandled because

1002
01:30:56,220 --> 01:31:01,820
we had no idea. Whether we could have done something or not, I can't say. But certainly

1003
01:31:01,820 --> 01:31:06,620
an issue like that, whether you like that, it should have come to the town board to see

1004
01:31:06,620 --> 01:31:12,280
if the town board could make some accommodation. We totally blindsided until I got an

1005
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:18,500
email from the owner right beginning saying, I have to say goodbye. So again, this is a lesson

1006
01:31:18,500 --> 01:31:26,820
on how we communicate, I think those are the issues that I wanted to deal with.

1007
01:31:27,500 --> 01:31:30,760
So, coming last is everything's been covered.

1008
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:37,420
But going back to it, you know Matt, Susan just said, it could have been handled better.

1009
01:31:37,880 --> 01:31:43,220
You know, just as a, it shouldn't have happened that way, you know, and I'm sorry for your

1010
01:31:43,220 --> 01:31:46,980
mom, your kids, and all the parents that had to deal with that.

1011
01:31:46,980 --> 01:31:52,980
I had three girls myself and it would have been tough to find something in, you know, 48 hours.

1012
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:54,120
How do you get it?

1013
01:31:54,260 --> 01:31:54,480
Yeah.

1014
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:59,140
But as I get say, you know, it could have been handled better.

1015
01:32:00,500 --> 01:32:04,420
But going back to the, you know, the drones are going to start kicking up.

1016
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:06,480
We know that, you know, the e-bikes.

1017
01:32:08,140 --> 01:32:10,260
You know, I told you my story of walking over the Hudson.

1018
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:12,120
They're going 30 miles an hour.

1019
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:18,740
And there's the Ranger, two Rangers there, just said slow down. There's a lot of people

1020
01:32:18,740 --> 01:32:26,280
today. That's the enforcement that they did on the bridge. It all comes down to enforcement.

1021
01:32:27,140 --> 01:32:31,160
You know, you make all the laws you want, but it comes down to enforcement. And our job

1022
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:41,880
is to do as much as we can legally and give the enforcement arm the tools that they need

1023
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:48,620
hopefully enforce it as best they can you know so that's it everything else

1024
01:32:48,620 --> 01:32:53,980
been covered right it's a difficult thing because you know if you if you

1025
01:32:53,980 --> 01:33:00,420
chase or or try to chase a kid yeah it's gonna run right and that that

1026
01:33:00,420 --> 01:33:05,200
creates it creates even a you know a more dangerous it's a tough thing we really

1027
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:11,380
really got to consider it and something doesn't need to be done but I think if we

1028
01:33:11,380 --> 01:33:18,320
in force where we can force okay and the word gets out okay that could be a lesson so

1029
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:24,900
if we get some of them if even if we get 10% 15% that begins to possibly add up

1030
01:33:24,900 --> 01:33:31,220
people learn. When I was 10, 11 years old there was I grew up next to the

1031
01:33:31,220 --> 01:33:35,480
botanical gardens in the Bronx and there was one wrong that was missing and it

1032
01:33:35,480 --> 01:33:40,760
was just wide enough to turn your hand the bars this way go like this and boom

1033
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:44,960
You end up boredom on your bike with my friends.

1034
01:33:45,300 --> 01:33:46,560
There's no statute of limitations.

1035
01:33:48,940 --> 01:33:51,400
You guys can talk about me in the newspaper.

1036
01:33:52,020 --> 01:33:54,100
I can see the letter to be added now.

1037
01:33:55,840 --> 01:34:01,400
And what ended up happening is we would inevitably one of the Rangers and they would

1038
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,760
see us riding on bike's where we were supposed to be.

1039
01:34:03,860 --> 01:34:06,040
And he would lay Chase and we would do.

1040
01:34:06,260 --> 01:34:06,620
It's wrong.

1041
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:07,880
We thought it was a game.

1042
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:09,000
It was ten years old.

1043
01:34:09,340 --> 01:34:09,640
You know what?

1044
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:25,160
But now I didn't have any bike, so you know who are going that fast, but, you know, we treated it as a game, and it stopped when my mother found out that I crossed the street with my bike.

1045
01:34:26,020 --> 01:34:30,700
So my bike was gone. I'm not going to say what happened to me, but it wasn't pretty.

1046
01:34:31,860 --> 01:34:42,560
And, you know, it took my point as it took my parents stepping in and it ended quick.

1047
01:34:44,700 --> 01:34:45,600
Thank you.

1048
01:34:46,020 --> 01:34:50,260
And Sarah, that was a question, and I think Sarah just sort of answered about what do you do.

1049
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:56,760
Unfortunately, by the time you call the police they're on, after probably yelling some things at you.

1050
01:34:57,700 --> 01:34:59,940
I don't know how much it's going to help without a play.

1051
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:29,980
I don't know if I would want to. Our law enforcement is trained in handling that. I do not think, you know, as you mentioned, I don't know if I would want to.

1052
01:35:30,980 --> 01:35:45,080
I went to school with his wife and, you know, I know them fairly well and to see what would happen to him because someone, you know, someone who was not trained in dealing with it might to deal with it.

1053
01:35:45,220 --> 01:35:52,660
I think that I would not want to deputize our parks department people from a safety point of view.

1054
01:35:52,660 --> 01:35:57,600
that in the, in the, I would not, I would not want to deputize.

1055
01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:59,880
That, that is what I'm trying to do.

1056
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:00,820
Yeah, that's point.

1057
01:36:00,940 --> 01:36:07,870
Yeah, versus versus, you know, if they say something and the kids ignore them, what are they supposed to do? I don't want it escalating.

1058
01:36:08,660 --> 01:36:15,240
Sergio and I had a, had a, a problem with a kid riding on movie night on the field.

1059
01:36:15,940 --> 01:36:20,240
And Sergio went over to talk to the parent and it was like, well, that's okay. It's my kid.

1060
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:21,680
So it's okay.

1061
01:36:21,780 --> 01:36:23,440
And I'm saying to me, that's my bike.

1062
01:36:23,820 --> 01:36:26,040
I'm like, yeah, you kids riding the bike.

1063
01:36:26,440 --> 01:36:27,780
Because yeah, but that's my bike.

1064
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,760
I said, all right, I said, I need you,

1065
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,300
there's little kids around and I need it to stop.

1066
01:36:33,460 --> 01:36:35,060
I said, yeah, but that's my bike.

1067
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:38,200
So I turned around and I said, you're going to lose your bike

1068
01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:39,620
unless there's stops.

1069
01:36:40,220 --> 01:36:42,540
But then why couldn't I'm sure they were parked

1070
01:36:42,540 --> 01:36:45,900
to parking people, staff there at that, at the mood.

1071
01:36:45,940 --> 01:36:48,180
Yes, Marissa was there from parks.

1072
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:49,840
And I don't think that we're going

1073
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:54,900
Was it just right evening was it just the risk of this somebody else there? No, just Marissa

1074
01:36:57,360 --> 01:37:03,440
Building maintenance now they don't do any set up. It's done by by a fun time amusement when they come in and

1075
01:37:03,440 --> 01:37:06,180
Part of the building department comes out and empty the garbage cans

1076
01:37:06,180 --> 01:37:13,400
So, you know Susan trust me, you know, I'd love it for but you you've you've mentioned Ed Muffett and you saw what happened

1077
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:18,460
What do you think but then it

1078
01:37:19,840 --> 01:37:25,180
more complicated with the color of authority from one of our employees and then the question

1079
01:37:25,180 --> 01:37:34,000
is, then, do you subject yourself to a potential loss if the individual is one of our employees

1080
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,880
and that's something improper beyond the way that.

1081
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:42,200
Not only that, or if that person is injured, in line with a job for something that's not really

1082
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:43,800
a job description.

1083
01:37:43,800 --> 01:38:00,760
you know, I'm description area. So it's less lessly I've been trained. I'm a piece officer. So, you know, I mean, it's it's it's a little different. I understand what you're saying, you know, you're trying to figure out how we could, you know, happen to be there. Right?

1084
01:38:01,180 --> 01:38:01,300
Somebody.

1085
01:38:01,780 --> 01:38:02,300
I got it.

1086
01:38:02,460 --> 01:38:03,560
I got it.

1087
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:03,700
Please.

1088
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:05,240
There isn't going to be there.

1089
01:38:05,860 --> 01:38:06,480
All right.

1090
01:38:06,860 --> 01:38:10,000
Guys, let's let's let's move on. We get to have this argument all night.

1091
01:38:10,980 --> 01:38:12,180
Is Tim Foley here yet?

1092
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:19,840
Well, we can give them a minute. I can move to the next thing. Let's get into our

1093
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:26,600
Crest Grant conversation. So, Von, I'm glad you showed up because I left all my notes

1094
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:32,000
at home and I did not remember if you had anything on the security for Crest Grant. Did

1095
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:37,180
you go for more meetings? So, why don't you come up to the podium and then I'll go through

1096
01:38:37,180 --> 01:38:40,520
the other things that I have from my memory that I recalled.

1097
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:46,940
Best you can. Because right

1098
01:38:46,940 --> 01:38:54,380
It's just a very generalized conversation. I want to throw the ideas at everyone if there's something that jumps out for everyone right away

1099
01:38:54,380 --> 01:38:58,880
We could look at that if not we will come back and and revisit

1100
01:38:59,980 --> 01:39:01,620
So Matt have a good night

1101
01:39:02,660 --> 01:39:04,260
Thank you Matt

1102
01:39:04,260 --> 01:39:09,600
Ivan check. I'm the library director for the John C. Hart Memorial Library and for the

1103
01:39:10,220 --> 01:39:12,640
security grant for the crest grant my

1104
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:23,000
request for the library was to install monitors downstairs in the administrative office because

1105
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:29,380
right now they're in a storage closet and I don't think that's very helpful and so we did

1106
01:39:29,380 --> 01:39:38,320
get an estimate for that and I think it was about $3 or $4,000 to install the monitors and

1107
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:47,420
the other bigger piece to security for the library is we made some good advances a couple of years

1108
01:39:47,420 --> 01:39:53,920
ago by installing some additional security cameras outside the building, especially after the

1109
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:59,960
and so we have still many blocks.

1110
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:16,880
Line spots around the outside of the building and the inside of the building. And we, you know, as a public building, we often have referred to our security camera footage to track down people who are doing things that were not okay.

1111
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:19,940
And so it has been very helpful.

1112
01:40:20,660 --> 01:40:26,220
And so we'd like to sort of complete the 360 visual inside the building and outside the building.

1113
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:34,120
So more security cameras and moving the monitors down to the administrative office instead of the supply closet upstairs.

1114
01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:38,580
Well, what would you estimate if you had everything that you wanted?

1115
01:40:39,420 --> 01:40:40,320
What would you tell them?

1116
01:40:40,780 --> 01:40:41,300
I'm just both.

1117
01:40:41,740 --> 01:40:46,460
I would say I know that the moving the monitors was about

1118
01:40:46,460 --> 01:40:56,380
like I said around $4,000 to move the monitors and the extra cameras, we're probably looking at another

1119
01:40:57,100 --> 01:41:03,840
maybe 18 to 20,000 there. So you've already have on the monitor thing, you already have the monitors,

1120
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:10,420
they're already operating. So there's only needs to relocate. There's one monitor for, so the

1121
01:41:10,420 --> 01:41:19,600
library has an old security system and then as part of the arbor grant several of the town

1122
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:26,640
buildings had more cameras installed. So we actually have two security systems. They don't

1123
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:31,940
speak to each other because one's really old. And so there's only a monitor for the old

1124
01:41:31,940 --> 01:41:37,140
cameras which are now failing. We've got three failed cameras on the old system. So we have

1125
01:41:37,140 --> 01:41:43,240
line spots within the building and so this would be to install to move one of the

1126
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:48,660
monitors and for the old system and we have no monitor for the new system.

1127
01:41:48,900 --> 01:41:52,280
I can watch it on my phone, but there's no monitor in the building.

1128
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:58,980
Is the new system in the location where you want the old systems monitor to be?

1129
01:41:59,440 --> 01:42:05,200
There is no there is no there is no monitor yeah there is system has a monitor.

1130
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:11,120
the old system has a monitor we'd like that one moved to the administrative office and the

1131
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:16,720
the new system that doesn't have a monitor that we're talking about the NBR is the actual

1132
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:21,620
digital recording devices right so are they are they located in the same room the old system

1133
01:42:21,620 --> 01:42:26,320
and the new system no they're not is there is the just just because I think I might be able to

1134
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:32,040
help you right so do you want to help the new system is it in the room where you want the old

1135
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:36,080
systems monitor to be. Because that would be really great. The NVR

1136
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:45,320
parks. It's, it's a few feet away, but yeah. So in the basement, we have our data

1137
01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:54,360
rack and that's where also the new system sort of brings live. The recorder. Yeah,

1138
01:42:54,380 --> 01:43:02,020
but then we have no, like I said, no visual, no monitor. So I would like that in the

1139
01:43:02,020 --> 01:43:04,220
administrative office, which is right down the hall.

1140
01:43:04,420 --> 01:43:05,500
Do you have the monitor?

1141
01:43:06,440 --> 01:43:08,760
Okay, so you need the monitor and the whole go.

1142
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,900
The monitor is, you know, on a box, on a 50-less.

1143
01:43:12,300 --> 01:43:14,780
But, so why don't you give me a quote tomorrow?

1144
01:43:15,220 --> 01:43:17,000
We'll talk, well, I want to continue this discussion.

1145
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:19,560
But give me a quote tomorrow and let me get some time.

1146
01:43:19,700 --> 01:43:22,040
Let me, I'll come over and show me what you got and,

1147
01:43:22,440 --> 01:43:24,900
and I'll see, see what we can do.

1148
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:26,760
Absolutely, thank you.

1149
01:43:27,020 --> 01:43:30,220
Okay, now my understanding is that this is a hundred thousand

1150
01:43:30,220 --> 01:43:30,740
to all the grand.

1151
01:43:30,740 --> 01:43:34,340
Yeah, I was going to, so this is a 100, 100, 100-thousand baller,

1152
01:43:34,540 --> 01:43:39,980
a crest grant that was awarded to our town and each of Pete

1153
01:43:39,980 --> 01:43:41,180
Harkham's municipalities.

1154
01:43:42,060 --> 01:43:45,240
So he was given the money from the state in the budget.

1155
01:43:45,700 --> 01:43:51,780
He allocated $100,000 per town, as well as,

1156
01:43:51,780 --> 01:43:54,780
I think he has a county program in there as well.

1157
01:43:55,900 --> 01:44:02,500
So, the caveat of these are that it is utilized for security.

1158
01:44:05,060 --> 01:44:10,280
I had asked our department had to come in with some ideas that our last department had meeting.

1159
01:44:11,060 --> 01:44:13,240
This is the first meeting back since then.

1160
01:44:14,260 --> 01:44:16,880
So, I had the ideas that were typed up.

1161
01:44:17,100 --> 01:44:20,980
I actually, that was the meeting was the day of the swastika incident.

1162
01:44:20,980 --> 01:44:27,920
So I instead of being at the meeting went hiking and I took my notes and I took them home to read them and

1163
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:32,780
I forgot them this this morning when I left to come in, but I do remember

1164
01:44:33,540 --> 01:44:35,220
At least five others

1165
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:41,920
So I wanted to present them to the board if they we you want to have a short discussion about some of them

1166
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:46,540
Or if you want to sit back and think on them and get some more details, whichever works best

1167
01:44:47,300 --> 01:44:50,400
Because we do have a little time to to claim this

1168
01:44:51,440 --> 01:44:59,980
As well as security of the library, that was a similar request from Filmerino for the Aberdeen.

1169
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:10,080
A cabalini community and cultural center to try to get some increase security. He also spoke about

1170
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:16,740
possibly putting a security guard there during the evenings when some of the kids' kid traffic

1171
01:45:16,740 --> 01:45:21,540
comes. I do not, you know, and I don't think the grant would work for that. It has to be something

1172
01:45:21,540 --> 01:45:28,780
specific that's material, if I'm not mistaken, and it would be a build-up of time, but from a camera

1173
01:45:28,780 --> 01:45:32,520
point of view with things going to be able to be monitored.

1174
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:36,600
It basically helps us in identifying that

1175
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:40,680
have been kids riding e-bikes in the Capileini Center.

1176
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:42,960
They try to catch them.

1177
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:44,620
They bolt.

1178
01:45:45,500 --> 01:45:48,780
Some cameras that could catch identify photos

1179
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,780
and then go back to these SROs

1180
01:45:53,460 --> 01:45:56,970
to try to identify the children would be a very good thing.

1181
01:45:58,090 --> 01:46:00,210
You're saying the E-Backs in the building?

1182
01:46:00,870 --> 01:46:06,110
Well, Bikes, not necessarily E-Bikes, but yeah, they've been running around the building.

1183
01:46:06,210 --> 01:46:07,570
They've been using that.

1184
01:46:07,670 --> 01:46:13,570
Our guys try to stop them and this comes back to the point about, you know, the proper training.

1185
01:46:15,750 --> 01:46:21,830
And they do not feel comfortable at times, especially if it's three or four kids with one person.

1186
01:46:21,830 --> 01:46:24,970
And especially after what happened with Ed Muffet,

1187
01:46:27,010 --> 01:46:30,850
a new canine car is a request from the police station,

1188
01:46:31,330 --> 01:46:32,690
so canine car.

1189
01:46:34,390 --> 01:46:38,190
So both of our dogs are sort of reaching their retirement age.

1190
01:46:39,110 --> 01:46:40,950
We do have two offers.

1191
01:46:41,550 --> 01:46:46,830
One is through a canine agency that,

1192
01:46:47,630 --> 01:46:50,630
like I think it's a country wide,

1193
01:46:51,630 --> 01:47:00,530
that they're interested in trying to donate, well, they would do a matching grant of 7,500.

1194
01:47:02,190 --> 01:47:05,950
And then we have someone who is interested in getting the dog.

1195
01:47:06,230 --> 01:47:11,450
So if they take 7,500, give it to the agency, they'll match that for that dog,

1196
01:47:11,970 --> 01:47:13,490
and we'll be able to do that.

1197
01:47:14,370 --> 01:47:18,270
They want for the dog that they would, the next dog they'd like to get in the hospital

1198
01:47:18,270 --> 01:47:24,550
me the next two because both Dallas and Spar are pretty much getting to retirement age, I think

1199
01:47:24,550 --> 01:47:26,950
they're both about 70 in dog years.

1200
01:47:29,190 --> 01:47:32,810
With that, they want to make sure, because we do...

1201
01:47:32,810 --> 01:47:37,330
They get pension and benefits. They do, they get three milk phones a month.

1202
01:47:37,750 --> 01:47:44,670
That's not bad. No, you know what, they deserve, they deserve these dogs have been invaluable

1203
01:47:44,670 --> 01:47:54,310
for us. So we have one person wanting to do that and then we have another person who wants to

1204
01:47:54,310 --> 01:48:02,990
organize a group of people to raise the money and donate. So I've engaged with both of them as we

1205
01:48:02,990 --> 01:48:10,790
think about it, but one of the issues is going to be the K9 cars are very old. We won't be able to get

1206
01:48:10,790 --> 01:48:18,570
the cages and all that fit in. It's a whole kit for a canine. So I think just the vehicle

1207
01:48:18,570 --> 01:48:25,290
alone is 75,000 without the kit. And the kit's going to depend on, you know, when we're ready

1208
01:48:25,290 --> 01:48:31,810
to go with it, but the special police car that's needed? Oh yeah. Yeah. So, and you're saying

1209
01:48:31,810 --> 01:48:37,090
the current, how many cars do we have now? There's a fit for the kit. We have two canine cars.

1210
01:48:37,690 --> 01:48:43,230
One of them, I don't even want to tell you what they told me is happening with the started this week.

1211
01:48:44,950 --> 01:48:50,470
But, but anyone who's had a starter problem could probably imagine going out there with a hammer to get it going.

1212
01:48:51,890 --> 01:48:53,730
So both the existing cars.

1213
01:48:53,910 --> 01:48:57,670
The existing cars are both going to be out, well, they're outdated anyway.

1214
01:48:57,810 --> 01:49:00,370
One of them is over 10 years old.

1215
01:49:00,370 --> 01:49:06,370
And you got to remember our police cars run the entire ship they're out there.

1216
01:49:06,570 --> 01:49:11,650
That's why we have to invest in our fleet as often as we do right now.

1217
01:49:11,650 --> 01:49:15,310
Most of our cars are in operation at least 16 hours a day.

1218
01:49:16,310 --> 01:49:21,370
The K9 cars are in operation 8 to 10 depending because they do other things with them

1219
01:49:21,370 --> 01:49:23,290
with the training, with the vets.

1220
01:49:23,650 --> 01:49:27,110
They do a lot of community outreach with our K9 crew.

1221
01:49:27,950 --> 01:49:34,510
So, you know, it's something that we're going to have to look at as we get, get the new dogs.

1222
01:49:35,670 --> 01:49:43,750
And as I said, I think next year is going to be at least at least one retirement for Dallas, who's the older of the two.

1223
01:49:44,090 --> 01:49:45,330
What are the other options?

1224
01:49:46,110 --> 01:49:48,090
The other ideas,

1225
01:49:50,510 --> 01:49:54,310
Parks and Rec, was thinking that automatic gates for Granite Knows Park

1226
01:49:54,310 --> 01:49:59,970
to prevent some of the kids that go up there with cars, tearing up things, riding around.

1227
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:04,920
I don't think it really helps with the motorbikes and the quads, unfortunately.

1228
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:21,560
So that would help with people going up there, drinking, doing whatever, but they'll just utilize another park or the trailhead, or unfortunately that's something we'd have to look at every place eventually.

1229
01:50:22,540 --> 01:50:29,600
So they're looking at an automatic gate that opens and closes because they have to send somebody out there specifically

1230
01:50:34,140 --> 01:50:45,820
Something that has come up before and and especially with high profile cases and things happening bulletproof gas glass for the courthouse

1231
01:50:45,820 --> 01:50:50,720
for the window where the court clerks are.

1232
01:50:51,060 --> 01:50:59,520
I think there's a film, I did ask, I asked one of our officers today, Tony actually

1233
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:04,360
to look at Anthony, well, they call him alphabet all of his friends, because he has almost

1234
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:09,680
every letter to the alphabet in his last name, but Tony was going to look into that form.

1235
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:15,800
I know we had gotten some done for the police department as a donation back in the

1236
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:23,260
day, but we would definitely, I think that's another really good thing. And then the last

1237
01:51:23,260 --> 01:51:29,100
one, when you walk in for the clerk. Yeah, yeah, the glass window, when you walk in the front

1238
01:51:29,100 --> 01:51:38,040
or all the way across, the right and across. And the last thing that I remember of the list for the

1239
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:44,040
water department cybersecurity for the skater system, now our engineering department just got a

1240
01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:56,520
35-36-4, Dan, and I think it's $36,000, $400 grant for cybersecurity for the sewer plant.

1241
01:51:58,180 --> 01:52:02,700
With the water plant, we don't have much on mind, but we use a skater system that does a lot

1242
01:52:02,700 --> 01:52:11,040
of the reporting, and that's come up in the recent conversations that there are some vulnerabilities

1243
01:52:11,040 --> 01:52:19,460
to those and it's something that we may want to consider. So those are the six items including

1244
01:52:20,180 --> 01:52:20,680
Avans.

1245
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:28,530
So, you know, Paul Parker, he's one of those what we call it. No idea about the gates.

1246
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:35,380
Bulletproof glass is expensive. I think there's a, and Jane, you might know, is there like some type of

1247
01:52:35,380 --> 01:52:42,500
film that they put over the glass now yeah so I think that might be a little less expensive than

1248
01:52:42,500 --> 01:52:49,160
replacing everything it's a 35 thousand dollar grant for the student plant sufficient to do what

1249
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:56,380
needs to be done there Dan replied affirmative for those and she's not coming up to the microphone

1250
01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:03,320
what about this is the problem in the past I don't know whether it still is a problem

1251
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:08,460
Bandalism at the gazebo at the track, and there was always talk about putting cameras there.

1252
01:53:08,700 --> 01:53:15,120
Well, I think that was part of the the Capulini Center security that Phil wants to do.

1253
01:53:15,220 --> 01:53:19,820
He's talking about the whole the whole kit and communal and the build and the outer

1254
01:53:19,820 --> 01:53:22,540
of cameras and useless without some active monitoring.

1255
01:53:23,940 --> 01:53:28,200
That's well, they're not useless. They help us in investigation.

1256
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:33,540
and it's sort of like, how we use license plate readers,

1257
01:53:34,340 --> 01:53:35,960
they're used in active investigation.

1258
01:53:36,340 --> 01:53:38,200
I think that back, yeah, all right.

1259
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:41,280
That's somebody actively monitor cameras, you know,

1260
01:53:41,620 --> 01:53:42,240
it's about 27.

1261
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:47,600
Yeah, you're talking about manpower, pension, benefits, you know,

1262
01:53:47,660 --> 01:53:49,640
the license, you're having a monitor

1263
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:51,840
so that you see somebody when somebody's doing something.

1264
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:54,560
Well, when you're looking at the monitor, right,

1265
01:53:54,660 --> 01:53:56,620
that's typically how you put these systems in.

1266
01:53:56,620 --> 01:54:01,780
put a monitor, they have all the cameras, you know, in a grid style pattern, depending on how

1267
01:54:01,780 --> 01:54:06,420
large the monitor is, that's how large the grid is. And, you know, you go watch it or you

1268
01:54:06,420 --> 01:54:12,400
could have it flipped through a camera at a time, and, you know, almost like a slide, but then,

1269
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:16,860
you know, while somebody's doing something, you might not be seeing it. So that's what, that's what

1270
01:54:16,860 --> 01:54:24,860
they are talking about. Well, library is also set hours, not a 24-7 like the Casibo. The idea is

1271
01:54:24,860 --> 01:54:39,260
You're sitting there, your monitors right there with all the cameras and you look up, you know, but most most of the stuff is is after the fact then then you come you go back and you pick up a license plate. You get, you know, and then and then that's part of the police investigation.

1272
01:54:39,260 --> 01:54:42,180
I don't know how to take the show.

1273
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:43,980
She's ready.

1274
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:49,200
Can I suggest that you flesh out and ask the department head to a made this recommendation

1275
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:51,320
to flesh out estimated costs?

1276
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:53,320
Well, let me ask a question.

1277
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:58,680
Is there anything that anyone here saying that this should be a priority?

1278
01:54:58,980 --> 01:54:59,980
That this isn't a priority.

1279
01:55:01,180 --> 01:55:20,980
Well, the dogs are multifaceted thing because you've got the car issue. Then you've got the dog issue. Then we also have a stipend for the officer. So if we're going to replace our retired dogs, we have to look at the total picture of what the cost would be.

1280
01:55:20,980 --> 01:55:28,840
And the stipends built into the budget, the car is what we need to buy, and we have someone who wants to donate the doves.

1281
01:55:30,180 --> 01:55:30,760
So we're in the same.

1282
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:31,960
It was fundraising for the doves.

1283
01:55:31,980 --> 01:55:35,840
No, we have one who wants to donate one who wants to donate through a fundraiser.

1284
01:55:36,420 --> 01:55:37,080
So we have two.

1285
01:55:37,820 --> 01:55:41,240
And I think I might have, you know, jumped my thoughts.

1286
01:55:41,740 --> 01:55:48,700
They might have jumped the rail there a little bit, but because of the amount of missing person cases that come up,

1287
01:55:48,700 --> 01:55:55,960
they want to focus on a dog that's able to track this time around because that dog will also,

1288
01:55:56,060 --> 01:56:04,460
they don't want an attack dog per se, like Spar is pretty intimidating when you look at him with his

1289
01:56:04,460 --> 01:56:10,260
teeth barred, but they do want to make sure that they have a dog who can track because that's also

1290
01:56:10,260 --> 01:56:13,760
useful in drug enforcement as well.

1291
01:56:14,980 --> 01:56:20,080
So that's like the main thing they want to look at with this next

1292
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:20,860
K9 officer.

1293
01:56:21,180 --> 01:56:25,260
Several constituents mentioned to me, and I think we had a brief

1294
01:56:25,260 --> 01:56:31,020
discussion and you indicated that it's really not town property, but

1295
01:56:31,020 --> 01:56:36,380
lighting for that area of when you leave the track and you go down

1296
01:56:36,380 --> 01:56:41,900
towards the Acme parking lot, you know, for the, you know, it's very dark at that

1297
01:56:41,900 --> 01:56:49,140
nice. And for public safety purposes, if we can somehow, on the area that is town property

1298
01:56:49,140 --> 01:56:56,240
put lighting that will eliminate those areas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't come right off the building.

1299
01:56:56,540 --> 01:57:00,380
That I don't think that would be that. No, it shouldn't be that expensive, but I, but I,

1300
01:57:00,380 --> 01:57:04,520
but it's like there's no building for to come off at the stairs. And if we have to put it

1301
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:08,480
But Lonnie, I'm not waiting for a text from Carol for the whole thing.

1302
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:11,600
I'm holding someone to come off the back of the Capitolini building.

1303
01:57:13,360 --> 01:57:17,480
It's too far over because it's midfield and you have all the trees.

1304
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:20,360
You have the playground, the trees and then the staircase.

1305
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:21,360
No.

1306
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:23,680
Oh yeah, that's right.

1307
01:57:23,900 --> 01:57:24,220
It's a lot.

1308
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:25,100
It's a lot further.

1309
01:57:25,460 --> 01:57:29,400
In terms of looking at the total for the for the canines,

1310
01:57:29,580 --> 01:57:33,620
I would also like to have some data on the

1311
01:57:33,620 --> 01:57:40,620
have the canines that we have have been used, and if we didn't have a canine, we're else could be

1312
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:42,040
who?

1313
01:57:42,060 --> 01:57:43,360
Susan, I don't have a canine.

1314
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:45,280
And are lending at our canines?

1315
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:50,860
Okay, our canines have assisted in other things, and I think if you read some of Miranda's

1316
01:57:50,860 --> 01:57:57,520
wonderful articles, you'll see that our canines have been very involved in law enforcement

1317
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:00,780
drug fines bringing a lot of money.

1318
01:58:00,780 --> 01:58:06,820
Yeah, I'm just saying I'd like to see their usage if we're spending our money and

1319
01:58:06,820 --> 01:58:12,540
It's being used outside of your account. I would just like to know that well, we are part of the real crime

1320
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:20,180
The real time crime unit, so if they ask for resources, yeah, I would and I think they used it for a

1321
01:58:20,180 --> 01:58:27,980
Search and rescue and somers on a on a slight see. Yeah, but you don't you don't kind of like send the K9 the K9

1322
01:58:27,980 --> 01:58:35,580
is, is, is joined at the hip with, with the handler. Right. So, we, we, we belong to our law enforcement.

1323
01:58:35,580 --> 01:58:42,820
I would just, it's a question of how our resources are used. Mutual aid is, is an essential part of,

1324
01:58:42,820 --> 01:58:50,600
of Westchester, whether it's ambulance, and everything. So, we do help each other and our police help, help all the other communities.

1325
01:58:50,860 --> 01:58:57,000
I, I'm not disputing the importance of the value of that. I'm just saying that if we're looking to spend,

1326
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:05,720
it looks like this could be close to the $100,000 grant for these two dogs. I would like to know how they're being used.

1327
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:10,120
No problem. We could get the chief to give you to send you emails on that.

1328
01:59:11,620 --> 01:59:18,100
But, you know, I think as far as moving the monitors and stuff like that, I think I can help you with that.

1329
01:59:18,100 --> 01:59:25,120
And they won't question your time, I'll do to work myself, you know, so, but, you know,

1330
01:59:25,280 --> 01:59:32,360
I think, as far as the best bang for your buck, you know, the canines, or, you know,

1331
01:59:32,560 --> 01:59:40,940
like you said, multifaceted, they can assist in so many different aspects of crime fighting.

1332
01:59:41,620 --> 01:59:42,660
They really do.

1333
01:59:42,660 --> 01:59:45,720
But we have to keep seeing these and they're all valuable.

1334
01:59:46,180 --> 01:59:46,500
Yeah, absolutely.

1335
01:59:46,780 --> 01:59:48,520
They're all valuable and it's a time decision.

1336
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:50,560
Let's get more information.

1337
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:51,840
I think we need more information.

1338
01:59:53,320 --> 01:59:55,100
Is there anything that you like, don't bother?

1339
01:59:57,220 --> 01:59:57,420
Anyone?

1340
01:59:58,160 --> 01:59:59,500
No, let's get more information.

1341
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,820
I just don't want to send someone out for the room stick of the wicked witch of the West.

1342
02:00:04,980 --> 02:00:10,680
I would like more information about where Philis is suggesting cameras at the community center.

1343
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:12,000
Yeah, specifically.

1344
02:00:12,780 --> 02:00:24,780
So I would say a few years ago, myself and Craig Skatolo who's retired now, we evaluated that building.

1345
02:00:25,960 --> 02:00:28,600
One of the, one of the things that we were talking about,

1346
02:00:29,060 --> 02:00:34,840
we're putting up doors in certain strategic areas to stop night,

1347
02:00:35,200 --> 02:00:40,620
you know, after hours access to certain parts of the building on top of cameras.

1348
02:00:42,020 --> 02:00:46,880
And we, and we will be at, and so we had a few meetings with Craig and we had a lot of great ideas.

1349
02:00:47,320 --> 02:00:49,240
Part of the camera system we wanted to put in there.

1350
02:00:49,300 --> 02:00:51,780
It actually followed you around and tracked you,

1351
02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:58,760
You know, almost like you're active monitoring, but without a live body, you know, but that got very expensive.

1352
02:00:59,340 --> 02:01:05,960
But one of the things that we identified there was security doors in certain areas, where when you walk into the building,

1353
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:12,180
let's say from the back where the stage is, you know, you don't have access to the entire building cake or up to the third floor.

1354
02:01:13,860 --> 02:01:17,920
And that was very valuable, and we had picked the locations.

1355
02:01:17,920 --> 02:01:19,700
We can revisit that.

1356
02:01:19,700 --> 02:01:20,600
I remember the discussion.

1357
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:22,780
All right.

1358
02:01:23,500 --> 02:01:25,460
Let's move on on Susan and Cindy.

1359
02:01:40,190 --> 02:01:40,490
All right.

1360
02:01:41,930 --> 02:01:47,570
So with that, we will now ask Dan the man to come to the microphone.

1361
02:01:52,930 --> 02:01:55,290
Just a quick question on the press grant.

1362
02:01:56,190 --> 02:01:59,270
Are we under any deadline for coming up with that?

1363
02:01:59,590 --> 02:02:02,650
I'd like to have something in the next month or so, but I don't.

1364
02:02:02,650 --> 02:02:07,130
you know but you know it's really hard to cash those big checks takes a while

1365
02:02:07,130 --> 02:02:08,730
we got them.

1366
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:14,400
Daniel. Danny mi boy how are you? Take care Jay.

1367
02:02:16,180 --> 02:02:23,660
All right so we we're trying to tidy up all the loose ends on our project for the

1368
02:02:23,660 --> 02:02:29,100
pump station rehabilitation. This would be the five pump stations. It's a 7.2

1369
02:02:29,100 --> 02:02:36,320
million dollar project. We've secured a grant, I believe, for 5.6, but we're also trying

1370
02:02:36,320 --> 02:02:44,140
to get a subsidized bond for the difference, which I think was 1.444, I believe, is the number.

1371
02:02:45,100 --> 02:02:51,520
So we're working with the Environmental Facilities Corporation to do the financing. So it'll

1372
02:02:51,520 --> 02:02:57,240
be a two-part thing. We'll get a bond anticipation note for the period of construction

1373
02:02:57,240 --> 02:03:03,960
through them, and that will ultimately be rolled over into a long-term 30-year note.

1374
02:03:04,980 --> 02:03:12,240
So as part of trying to check all the boxes of EFC, we submitted materials to them, there

1375
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:14,620
are some issues about the Seeker process.

1376
02:03:15,300 --> 02:03:17,640
So we're doing a Seeker reboot here.

1377
02:03:18,860 --> 02:03:26,240
Trying to make sure we're touching on all the issues, including that the coordinated review,

1378
02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:34,400
one of the things we didn't do was the environmental notice bulletin. So that's part of the

1379
02:03:34,400 --> 02:03:40,780
circulation on this and so we're circulating to see if anybody else wants to be lead agency,

1380
02:03:41,020 --> 02:03:47,580
which nobody will likely step up for. So the town board is going to likely lead agency on this

1381
02:03:47,580 --> 02:03:53,280
shocker. And then after declaring yourselves lead agency, we'll hear everybody wants to be heard on

1382
02:03:53,280 --> 02:04:00,100
matter and ultimately hopefully we'll do a negative declaration and then documentation will

1383
02:04:00,100 --> 02:04:11,920
be provided to the F.C. So that's it. I have some questions and comments on the 7.2 million

1384
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:20,980
dollars for the cost. That's based on the 2020 or 2021 cost estimate. I think we have the

1385
02:04:20,980 --> 02:04:27,340
realistic and assume it's going to cost a little bit more, right? The 20% of the town that

1386
02:04:27,340 --> 02:04:32,000
the town's tax payers will have to pay. So I mean in the hall, it smells to a district

1387
02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:38,180
and the peak seal will have to pick up as we're redoing the peak seal system. They will

1388
02:04:38,180 --> 02:04:44,740
have to pick up the cost for farm walk. But I think we have to be cautious in saying 7.2

1389
02:04:44,740 --> 02:04:47,720
million because it ain't going to be that anymore.

1390
02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:52,060
It's a little bit different, because we changed around the program.

1391
02:04:52,080 --> 02:04:53,980
We changed a bunch of stuff on it.

1392
02:04:54,500 --> 02:04:55,080
The value engine.

1393
02:04:55,700 --> 02:04:59,960
We value engineered it, and buildings and facilities.

1394
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:09,880
We're going to be demolished. We're now rehabilitating. And we revisited the budget. And that's why we went from four stations to five.

1395
02:05:09,960 --> 02:05:12,080
We talked about this. You had a whole resolution.

1396
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:13,180
Yeah, I remember.

1397
02:05:13,320 --> 02:05:24,480
And the bottom line is if we're getting 80% of the money to fix four pump five pump stations that are rough shape, you don't want to blow it. You don't want to pay 100% of the cost.

1398
02:05:24,480 --> 02:05:30,660
That's ultimately, and some of these stations are chronic issues where we're spending money

1399
02:05:30,660 --> 02:05:33,940
on over time and replacing things, haven't we?

1400
02:05:33,940 --> 02:05:36,820
So Dan, where are we with the plans on getting them in?

1401
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:39,920
I know we have one approved from Board of Health, correct?

1402
02:05:40,380 --> 02:05:46,200
Yeah, one is, we're back and forth, yeah, we're just back and forth, I think the final

1403
02:05:46,200 --> 02:05:53,040
issues we resolved, we're going to change a pump around, we haggled with them over, which, which,

1404
02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:58,240
This is a farm look, so we're changing that, so I think we're pretty close to getting

1405
02:05:58,240 --> 02:06:04,360
that approved, and we can, the health department really doesn't care about the electrical

1406
02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:11,120
side, so we can actually start purchasing electrical equipment, so things like generators and

1407
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:17,540
transfer switches, control panels, which are all expensive, and have long lead times on

1408
02:06:17,540 --> 02:06:22,620
them, so we also, we got an extension on the grant, but we don't want to find ourselves

1409
02:06:22,620 --> 02:06:31,240
position where. So just for like an education and clarification type of thing. When did this

1410
02:06:31,900 --> 02:06:37,680
back and forth on the on the farmwalk pump station start with Board of Health? Because I know

1411
02:06:37,680 --> 02:06:45,460
some people saying how come this didn't happen yet? I mean it was a few weeks ago. I mean we had vacations

1412
02:06:45,460 --> 02:06:49,980
and everybody was busy with it. Was it weeks or I thought it was a little longer than that? Maybe it's

1413
02:06:49,980 --> 02:07:01,760
three weeks. Yeah. And I just went in three weeks ago. No, I went in months ago. Right. That's my question.

1414
02:07:01,800 --> 02:07:07,440
They got back to us and I believe, yeah, I think last week, I spoke to the engineer at the

1415
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:13,740
health department. So Heather worked on some calculations this week to address one of the

1416
02:07:14,860 --> 02:07:26,860
And the long and short of it was, we wanted to go with a different pump, but after we crunched the numbers, we felt we weren't going to prevail on that issue, so we went ahead with a larger pump.

1417
02:07:28,100 --> 02:07:37,100
But that gets me to the other question when you started and with the farm walk, and when we brought Heather on as a set as a deputy engineer.

1418
02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:42,920
One of the reasons for bringing that second person on is that we could do more work in

1419
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:46,200
house and we wouldn't have to go outside for that.

1420
02:07:46,780 --> 02:07:51,740
I was also told that once we did the farm walk, we would have a template and the other

1421
02:07:51,740 --> 02:07:54,180
four for how the smell would come faster.

1422
02:07:55,180 --> 02:07:58,360
That doesn't seem to be happening and I'm a little concerned.

1423
02:07:58,500 --> 02:08:00,760
No, I mean, I mean, they don't.

1424
02:08:00,760 --> 02:08:02,820
Well, I'm concerned because we have a two-year extension.

1425
02:08:02,900 --> 02:08:03,540
No, I understand.

1426
02:08:03,540 --> 02:08:11,900
And I want to start ordering stuff ASAP, but I also have other issues on the funding side that I need to resolve.

1427
02:08:12,700 --> 02:08:15,740
The stuff farmwalk stuff were a little bit better shape with money.

1428
02:08:16,220 --> 02:08:19,320
I could start ordering some of that equipment.

1429
02:08:20,140 --> 02:08:23,260
The Halix Mill stuff we've worked on Mohansik.

1430
02:08:23,260 --> 02:08:26,540
I think we got that pretty much figured out how we're going to do it.

1431
02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:29,940
We started doing the build.

1432
02:08:30,060 --> 02:08:33,760
We're going to put a new building in for saddle ridge.

1433
02:08:34,260 --> 02:08:40,280
Because that was the one station where the existing building we felt wasn't salvageable.

1434
02:08:40,580 --> 02:08:42,360
So that one we're going to do a new building.

1435
02:08:44,280 --> 02:08:46,160
Well, they're not done with farm walk yet.

1436
02:08:46,480 --> 02:08:50,020
And each one has its own set of challenges.

1437
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,120
Everyone's a little different correct answer.

1438
02:08:52,420 --> 02:08:56,120
I don't it won't per se be a template that fits for everything.

1439
02:08:56,120 --> 02:09:03,360
I'm just using the term that was Louis Vuitton, that the others would go faster and from what I'm hearing from you.

1440
02:09:04,020 --> 02:09:08,320
I'm concerned because I'm concerned they already gave us a two-year extension.

1441
02:09:09,240 --> 02:09:15,880
And the latest exchange I had with you is that the project has to be completed by May of 2028.

1442
02:09:16,620 --> 02:09:19,180
We're working on multiple pump stations.

1443
02:09:19,180 --> 02:09:23,660
But you need to know, too, that isn't the only thing that comes across my desk every day.

1444
02:09:24,660 --> 02:09:27,320
We have to address real-time situations.

1445
02:09:27,600 --> 02:09:31,140
We've had a bunch of problems with some of our pump stations.

1446
02:09:31,620 --> 02:09:33,260
We had a big problem at the plant.

1447
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:36,600
We had to address that became a whole thing we had to deal with.

1448
02:09:36,900 --> 02:09:37,800
So with those things come up.

1449
02:09:38,060 --> 02:09:39,240
We just, we have to deal with them.

1450
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:41,180
I realize that.

1451
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:48,240
And having having had there has helped him to be able to keep the project rolling,

1452
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:54,400
Even though it's not completed while he handles the other things if that's I know you made you alluded to that

1453
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:59,840
But unfortunately from years past many years past

1454
02:10:00,930 --> 02:10:15,170
We're dealing with issues at the sewer plant that need to be addressed. We're dealing with issues with the pump stations that need to be addressed, and there are other things on the table, including new developments that they need to look at.

1455
02:10:15,170 --> 02:10:18,690
So, and the Halex mills sewer district extension that we wanted to do.

1456
02:10:18,690 --> 02:10:20,070
Can we then ask them to rent well?

1457
02:10:21,210 --> 02:10:23,150
But they are working as a tune.

1458
02:10:23,610 --> 02:10:24,390
I was down there.

1459
02:10:24,390 --> 02:10:30,670
They actually even had Kyle from the plant helping out with some stuff and Charlie in there.

1460
02:10:31,290 --> 02:10:38,090
So, I think that there's a understanding that we want to get this done, get the stuff

1461
02:10:38,090 --> 02:10:43,550
done in house that we can, the stuff that needs an expert, that we need to get out gets

1462
02:10:43,550 --> 02:10:51,010
out. But, you know, I know you were in your implication of that, well, you guys should be

1463
02:10:51,010 --> 02:10:56,110
getting it all knocked right out, because Heather's now here. You know, there's a lot

1464
02:10:56,110 --> 02:11:02,930
of issues from years gone by that are trying to get solved. And I think that I know that.

1465
02:11:03,370 --> 02:11:09,310
And, but granted that you have to deal with all these unexpected, unexpected issues that

1466
02:11:09,310 --> 02:11:15,530
have to take priority. So does that raise the issue of it since we are on a deadline to get

1467
02:11:15,530 --> 02:11:21,570
these pump stations done? At some point, would it be more efficient to get it done to

1468
02:11:21,570 --> 02:11:27,530
form out some of the work? I shouldn't use the word form, but the contract out. Okay, and go back

1469
02:11:27,530 --> 02:11:34,150
to EDR that did some of the original work with the value engineer changes that you want. Just so

1470
02:11:34,150 --> 02:11:40,050
We know that by some date, but some date certain we're going to have plans that we can send

1471
02:11:40,050 --> 02:11:45,690
to the Department of Health because we're seeing how long it takes and then, like, it's

1472
02:11:45,690 --> 02:11:46,190
good for the summer.

1473
02:11:46,450 --> 02:11:50,910
We're going to have to go out to bed so there's bed specs that have to be prepared and that

1474
02:11:50,910 --> 02:11:55,950
this is the whole bidding process and then negotiate the ones we select the better than

1475
02:11:55,950 --> 02:12:01,750
till the agreement gets signed until the contract that you know is ready to start work.

1476
02:12:01,750 --> 02:12:06,910
again I'm looking at a deadline we didn't do anything for the five years that we had the

1477
02:12:06,910 --> 02:12:13,690
grant and now we've got two more years to take advantage of this wonderful, wonderful 80%

1478
02:12:13,690 --> 02:12:17,870
grant and I'm just saying that what's the most efficient way to deal with it because I

1479
02:12:17,870 --> 02:12:23,630
know you have problems with the civil streetland plan which is another question which I forgot

1480
02:12:23,630 --> 02:12:29,750
to bring up with you the question of do we have to hire a consultant to do the study and

1481
02:12:29,750 --> 02:12:31,710
And what's the status to that?

1482
02:12:31,870 --> 02:12:34,230
It's like off topic, but it's a related topic.

1483
02:12:34,710 --> 02:12:36,310
And if you update us on that,

1484
02:12:37,770 --> 02:12:40,330
that we need to do a study of what changes

1485
02:12:40,330 --> 02:12:42,190
and what upgrades might be necessary

1486
02:12:42,190 --> 02:12:42,870
at the sewer.

1487
02:12:43,290 --> 02:12:47,450
How about we focus on the R, the R.

1488
02:12:47,490 --> 02:12:50,810
Well, I think that we have, of course we do something about it.

1489
02:12:50,810 --> 02:12:53,650
I'm sending the constraints that the department has.

1490
02:12:54,130 --> 02:12:57,110
Absolutely, but Susan, you asked for an update

1491
02:12:57,110 --> 02:12:58,210
on the pump station.

1492
02:12:58,410 --> 02:12:59,070
Yeah, I keep asking.

1493
02:12:59,070 --> 02:13:06,090
Dan, what else do you have that, because I see the environmental assessment form here?

1494
02:13:06,790 --> 02:13:08,670
So, we just need to circulate that.

1495
02:13:11,150 --> 02:13:13,270
And it's technically got a declarer.

1496
02:13:13,270 --> 02:13:19,910
I've got to declare your intent to be lay agency and then authorize the clerk to do the circulation.

1497
02:13:22,250 --> 02:13:24,130
Was that added at the end?

1498
02:13:24,130 --> 02:13:27,270
because of the for consideration.

1499
02:13:28,290 --> 02:13:32,130
Was it that the end was your environmental assessment form?

1500
02:13:32,770 --> 02:13:32,790
Right.

1501
02:13:33,290 --> 02:13:34,150
And I saw that.

1502
02:13:41,090 --> 02:13:41,930
Thank you.

1503
02:13:44,710 --> 02:13:45,090
All right.

1504
02:13:45,370 --> 02:13:46,650
Is there anything else?

1505
02:13:48,170 --> 02:13:51,390
Dan, do we have any idea on when the next.

1506
02:13:52,710 --> 02:13:56,010
When the next study will be coming.

1507
02:13:56,230 --> 02:13:58,750
The next plan will be going into the Board of Health.

1508
02:13:58,750 --> 02:14:04,650
I'd say I'd say we'd hope like in two weeks we should be able to get my hands

1509
02:14:04,650 --> 02:14:05,110
like down.

1510
02:14:05,210 --> 02:14:09,150
I think we pretty much got all the four corners figured out now, it's just-

1511
02:14:09,150 --> 02:14:10,570
So that's providing it up.

1512
02:14:10,730 --> 02:14:12,430
That's plant three or two.

1513
02:14:14,090 --> 02:14:15,610
No, I mean, that's the next one to go.

1514
02:14:16,130 --> 02:14:17,370
Okay, so that'll lead too.

1515
02:14:18,230 --> 02:14:18,990
And we're talking about.

1516
02:14:19,450 --> 02:14:25,990
I think at least, I don't want to speak for Susan, but I guess in a nutshell,

1517
02:14:25,990 --> 02:14:45,350
You anticipate, unless, you know, we have some extraordinary situation, you anticipate being able to, within the next year, we have two year window, but within the next year, having plans for all five.

1518
02:14:47,670 --> 02:14:56,850
Well, but it was in that that's that that is better than starting to go out to bid for other individuals

1519
02:14:56,850 --> 02:14:59,970
In some things we don't have to bid

1520
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:07,600
For example, the generators, the source, well, contract with caterpillar.

1521
02:15:07,940 --> 02:15:13,000
Do you anticipate being able to fulfill our obligations and get this done?

1522
02:15:13,120 --> 02:15:19,340
The part of the problem is, right now, what's available to me, I believe, is about $100,000.

1523
02:15:19,340 --> 02:15:24,980
out of the five point or the out of the seven point two million set it again. I have

1524
02:15:24,980 --> 02:15:30,260
a hundred thousand dollars about I figure what the number is available. So that would allow

1525
02:15:30,260 --> 02:15:35,940
me to purchase a generator and some of the electrical work that needs to be done at farm

1526
02:15:35,940 --> 02:15:46,800
walk. Is that coming from which fund? Well that would be coming from the OS now which is more

1527
02:15:47,740 --> 02:15:50,240
So, then, everybody, what is the next step?

1528
02:15:50,460 --> 02:15:54,880
But you said that we had something with,

1529
02:15:54,880 --> 02:15:56,780
that you had to clear up with the funding issue.

1530
02:15:57,200 --> 02:15:58,760
What is on next step, too?

1531
02:15:58,780 --> 02:16:00,840
Well, all these balls are in the air, right?

1532
02:16:01,380 --> 02:16:08,340
So, the funding and the money in place to do this stuff.

1533
02:16:08,500 --> 02:16:10,780
I mean, the health department stuff and the approvals

1534
02:16:10,780 --> 02:16:11,980
to build are one thing.

1535
02:16:12,600 --> 02:16:16,700
Some of this stuff, one of the other issues

1536
02:16:16,700 --> 02:16:24,620
we did is in our funding we put in for force account. So I have some guys that are very capable

1537
02:16:24,620 --> 02:16:29,620
of doing some of this stuff. So we're actually figuring on some of this pump replacement

1538
02:16:29,620 --> 02:16:36,560
we'll be done in house and we can actually even get our salaries reimbursed for doing work

1539
02:16:36,560 --> 02:16:43,580
with what's called force account as opposed to hiring contractors to do the work. So that's a component

1540
02:16:43,580 --> 02:16:48,600
what's going on. So that's that's one tool. So you get salaries potentially reimbursed.

1541
02:16:48,960 --> 02:16:53,580
Yes. That would not be part of the the 7.2.

1542
02:16:54,400 --> 02:17:00,600
No, the 7.2 includes that. Okay. But what would be it would be it would be. It was the

1543
02:17:00,600 --> 02:17:06,880
old people that even on the grand side, I would be reimbursed. So I could even claw back some

1544
02:17:06,880 --> 02:17:11,240
the salaries of people that worked on that project.

1545
02:17:12,260 --> 02:17:19,600
So there's that whole financing this and trying to stay ahead of, because even though

1546
02:17:19,600 --> 02:17:23,040
it's 7.2 million, we're never going to be out 7.2 million.

1547
02:17:23,660 --> 02:17:30,180
With the grant program, we're going to spend money, submit documentation to be reimbursed

1548
02:17:30,180 --> 02:17:33,500
And this time, on this lap in several times through the process,

1549
02:17:34,040 --> 02:17:38,060
to Susan's concern and Lonnie's comments, right?

1550
02:17:38,400 --> 02:17:43,100
You fully anticipate that we're going to be able to complete

1551
02:17:43,100 --> 02:17:44,360
this entire thing.

1552
02:17:44,580 --> 02:17:45,560
However, it's done.

1553
02:17:45,700 --> 02:17:46,740
However, it's reimbursed.

1554
02:17:46,760 --> 02:17:49,180
However, whatever we're out at any given time,

1555
02:17:49,420 --> 02:17:51,600
out of the 7.2 in the two years.

1556
02:17:52,540 --> 02:17:57,540
One of the big great assets in hiring Heather,

1557
02:17:57,540 --> 02:18:03,680
her being a former employee of the health department who reviewed all this stuff, she knows exactly

1558
02:18:03,680 --> 02:18:11,280
what they're looking for. So our applications have less issues that they would flag if, you know,

1559
02:18:11,380 --> 02:18:15,860
you're just no one there. That is much hang time. That's because she knows all the ins and outs

1560
02:18:15,860 --> 02:18:20,520
exist. That's what we're saying. I mean, that's our secret weapon right there. What is your very next

1561
02:18:20,520 --> 02:18:28,180
step, which is what we're doing tonight is part of the whole financing thing.

1562
02:18:28,440 --> 02:18:32,240
Okay, several in the part from that is the approvals and the construction.

1563
02:18:33,800 --> 02:18:38,980
Since we're doing the designs in-house, we're not doing one bid for the whole thing.

1564
02:18:39,420 --> 02:18:45,380
We're going to bark on each of these projects as we get approvals, and some of them we don't

1565
02:18:45,380 --> 02:18:49,260
and have to wait because really redo and Mohansik,

1566
02:18:49,960 --> 02:18:52,160
it's really a matter just having the funding available.

1567
02:18:53,340 --> 02:18:56,780
So that's, so I've got, like, say, for example, Mohansik,

1568
02:18:56,820 --> 02:19:01,020
and some, you know, Mohansik and personal lake,

1569
02:19:01,200 --> 02:19:03,040
we have very oil tanks.

1570
02:19:03,920 --> 02:19:06,240
I want to get that going right away.

1571
02:19:07,440 --> 02:19:09,100
You know, thank you, Dan.

1572
02:19:09,420 --> 02:19:11,980
But another question, you said that you think you'll have

1573
02:19:11,980 --> 02:19:18,620
the plans for the handsick to ready to send to the Department of Health in about two weeks.

1574
02:19:18,640 --> 02:19:20,060
Yeah, I want to go tell this month.

1575
02:19:20,200 --> 02:19:20,340
I want to go tell this month.

1576
02:19:22,340 --> 02:19:27,440
For Saddle Ridge, Crystal Lake, and Hanover, what's your time frame on that?

1577
02:19:27,500 --> 02:19:28,800
Again, barring any un...

1578
02:19:28,800 --> 02:19:29,120
Love it.

1579
02:19:29,120 --> 02:19:31,000
Let me let him get one done at a time.

1580
02:19:31,680 --> 02:19:33,400
We're just going to keep going through them.

1581
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:38,940
I'd like to say we never have other things that happened,

1582
02:19:39,180 --> 02:19:41,140
but sometimes we got to just, you know,

1583
02:19:42,160 --> 02:19:44,340
especially in the sewer we know what happens.

1584
02:19:44,640 --> 02:19:47,800
We've got a wastewater treatment plant to operate.

1585
02:19:48,140 --> 02:19:49,820
We have to deal with all the land use stuff.

1586
02:19:49,940 --> 02:19:52,340
We have to do inspections on the projects that are ongoing.

1587
02:19:53,080 --> 02:19:56,360
All these permits that come in for wetlands and so on.

1588
02:19:56,740 --> 02:19:57,420
Thank you.

1589
02:19:57,420 --> 02:19:57,600
Thank you.

1590
02:19:57,660 --> 02:19:58,640
Then get me.

1591
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:05,600
We're not trying to complain, but it's just the reality. We try and stay on top of this stuff.

1592
02:20:05,840 --> 02:20:09,620
I know. I'd rather you go down to your office and start working.

1593
02:20:10,200 --> 02:20:14,780
So it's a damn real quick. So if you got the 7.2 million, how long would it take to do the five stations?

1594
02:20:16,960 --> 02:20:19,200
Well, that's what we're doing. No, I understand.

1595
02:20:19,500 --> 02:20:26,300
Yeah, we don't really, we really got to be pushing this. We got to get it pretty much done next year.

1596
02:20:26,300 --> 02:20:35,800
Yeah, that that's the real all in a green we don't want to wait to 2028. Yeah, right. Yes, I want to do that still two hours in ten minutes left in the day, Dan

1597
02:20:37,300 --> 02:20:41,290
Can I just ask for what's not on the agenda, but since Dan is here

1598
02:20:42,560 --> 02:20:56,280
The issue of the sewage treatment plant needing to renew its its permit and it needs I've been told that we need to do a

1599
02:20:56,280 --> 02:21:00,340
done to upgrade so that we couldn't get our permit renewed. What's the status of getting?

1600
02:21:00,620 --> 02:21:06,580
Two separate things. The permit renewal, I mean, our, technically, our permit, I think

1601
02:21:06,580 --> 02:21:12,820
were expired probably like four or five years ago, which isn't unusual. They, you know, in

1602
02:21:12,820 --> 02:21:18,020
the absence of renewing your permit, your old limits remain in place. So we've been going

1603
02:21:18,020 --> 02:21:21,880
back with the DC. We do not have a new permit.

1604
02:21:24,400 --> 02:21:27,800
It's not unusual, but that's one thing.

1605
02:21:28,060 --> 02:21:34,580
I thought to say sometimes what happens is when a new permit comes out that they may put

1606
02:21:34,580 --> 02:21:42,160
new requirements in there. So for example, like years ago, the money became an issue.

1607
02:21:42,160 --> 02:21:52,900
So that in when they issued, they renewed the permit, a new ammonia limit was proposed and

1608
02:21:52,900 --> 02:22:01,800
as part of that it laid out a time frame for building the improvements to achieve that

1609
02:22:01,800 --> 02:22:02,860
discharge limit.

1610
02:22:03,220 --> 02:22:04,860
So that's how the RBCs happened.

1611
02:22:05,020 --> 02:22:09,960
The RBCs were a function of a modification when a permit was renewed.

1612
02:22:09,960 --> 02:22:15,740
So, as of right now, nobody's told me like anything is going to be added to that permit.

1613
02:22:16,480 --> 02:22:20,660
But they are asking questions like for, you know, like PFOS, forever chemicals.

1614
02:22:21,540 --> 02:22:27,680
If that showed up, I don't know what we would do about it because the treatment to remove

1615
02:22:27,680 --> 02:22:32,080
that would just be, you know, as it is, we have the microfilters.

1616
02:22:32,600 --> 02:22:34,960
But until I see the renewed permit, I don't know that.

1617
02:22:34,960 --> 02:22:41,280
Now, separate on part from that, we have an ordering on consent with DC, which we have not signed yet.

1618
02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:53,300
But once we finish negotiating that, one of the things that's going to come out of it is one of the conditions is going to be that we do a study to evaluate the plant.

1619
02:22:54,960 --> 02:22:57,740
So that's going to require hiring an outside consultant.

1620
02:22:58,300 --> 02:23:00,600
And what's holding up signing that consent order?

1621
02:23:01,400 --> 02:23:01,920
Negotiations.

1622
02:23:01,920 --> 02:23:04,560
That we're pretty close to being resolved.

1623
02:23:04,740 --> 02:23:06,640
I think most of the stuff's going to be resolved.

1624
02:23:06,960 --> 02:23:07,380
All right.

1625
02:23:07,920 --> 02:23:08,840
Dan, thank you.

1626
02:23:08,880 --> 02:23:09,320
Thank you.

1627
02:23:09,560 --> 02:23:10,500
Thank you.

1628
02:23:10,500 --> 02:23:13,100
We are going to jump into this.

1629
02:23:13,100 --> 02:23:17,960
What the consent order is for what we're not violating something so this has to be

1630
02:23:17,960 --> 02:23:18,880
a consent order.

1631
02:23:19,760 --> 02:23:21,220
What's wrong that we need to do?

1632
02:23:21,220 --> 02:23:31,400
It's going back, I think, to like 2000 I believe, for destroyed violations, you know,

1633
02:23:31,400 --> 02:23:40,000
exceedances of BOD, I think copper, maybe carbonaceous oxygen demand, I think

1634
02:23:40,000 --> 02:23:43,860
everything were, but they tabulated all the violations.

1635
02:23:45,120 --> 02:23:47,000
But it goes back about 26 years.

1636
02:23:49,640 --> 02:23:52,220
Even before the plant was upgraded?

1637
02:23:52,720 --> 02:23:54,240
No, not before the upgrades.

1638
02:23:54,300 --> 02:23:54,640
Exactly.

1639
02:23:55,220 --> 02:23:58,720
The violations occurred after the upgrade, which was like the mid-2000s.

1640
02:23:58,960 --> 02:24:00,880
So, Susan, can we move on?

1641
02:24:00,880 --> 02:24:01,840
Thank you.

1642
02:24:02,040 --> 02:24:05,680
Well, it was an important part, it's right, but it's very important part.

1643
02:24:06,100 --> 02:24:06,540
Absolutely.

1644
02:24:07,860 --> 02:24:14,300
My father-in-law worked in the sewer, so I'm very familiar, how sexy they are and how

1645
02:24:14,300 --> 02:24:15,320
necessary they are.

1646
02:24:15,600 --> 02:24:19,220
I was working for something else that I came across a letter from Charlie this week.

1647
02:24:19,360 --> 02:24:19,800
Not to do.

1648
02:24:20,480 --> 02:24:21,180
Let me see that one.

1649
02:24:21,320 --> 02:24:21,560
You can win.

1650
02:24:21,680 --> 02:24:22,440
You have a chance.

1651
02:24:23,040 --> 02:24:27,520
I can use to say the people you meet on the way up is the same people that you meet

1652
02:24:27,520 --> 02:24:28,360
on the same way.

1653
02:24:28,360 --> 02:24:43,600
All right, from the building in maintenance department, authorizing extension for the annual electrical work on town buildings bid from the Comptroller's office author as a Comptroller to pay mark a mark a McLennan

1654
02:24:43,600 --> 02:24:55,440
The cash value of unused time is every date of retirement is a numerator below and be it further is out of the control is here by authorizing the transfer the funds for the purpose of the pay at a retirement as a numerator below

1655
02:24:55,440 --> 02:24:59,960
authorized to control it, to pay Michael Mattis, the Cash Value Money.

1656
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:06,700
We use time as a date of retirement, as an unmarried below, and be it further resolve the control as year by

1657
02:25:06,700 --> 02:25:11,920
authorized to transfer funds for the purpose of this payout at retirement, as follows,

1658
02:25:12,700 --> 02:25:18,740
an unmarried below. From the John C. Heart Memorial Library, authorize a supervisor's sign
