TOWN BOARD, UH, WORK SESSION.TODAY IS, UH, APRIL 27TH, 2021.
AND, UM, THE FIRST ITEM IS, UH, PURCHASE ORDERS, UM, WITH PETE, UM, ELLI OR, UH, PURCHASING DIRECTOR.
I'D LIKE TO MOVE THAT, UH, PETE, I DO THAT.
I'LL HOPE WE, I'D LIKE TO ASK THAT WE, UH, DISCUSS IT.
HEY, GOOD EVENING, ALL, UH, VERY SHORT AND SWEET.
UH, IT'S FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UH, IT'S FOR A TOTAL OF $10,500.
IT'S FOR REGISTRATION, FEE FOR PRINCIPAL POLICING TRAINING, UH, INCLUDED IN THAT 10,500 IS CONSULTANT FEES TO SET UP THE CLASS, UH, AND FOLLOW UP WITH, UH, E A P AND DEPARTMENT HEADS REQUEST REQUEST BY DANNY DANNY VALENTINE.
YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM? THAT, UH, IT'S COMING FROM B 31 20, UH, AND THE LINE IS TRAINING 54 0 6 0 AND THERE'S MONEY TO BACK IT UP.
WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE AMOUNT? $10,500.
AND ROBERTA HAS, UH, IS ROBERTA HERE? NOT AS YET.
I, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THERE'S NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND THE CHIEF'S NOT ON YET EITHER, SO, NO.
UH, DID YOU NEED THE CHIEF? HE CALLED ME EARLY.
DO YOU NEED, I CAN GRAB HIM IF YOU NEED HIM.
UH, IT'D BE, IT'D BE GOOD TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS REQUIRED, REQUIRED TRAINING OR TRAINING.
WE'RE DOING AN ADDITIONAL, AN ADDITIONAL REQUIRED TRAINING.
JUST GIMME TWO SECONDS, PLEASE.
IT'S JUST, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO, OKAY.
COULD YOU, UH, GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPLANATION REGARD REGARDING THE TRAINING THAT, UH, WE'RE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PURCHASE ORDER? YEAH.
THAT, THAT IT'S PRINCIPLED POLICING.
IT'S A, IT'S A COURSE THAT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
IT, IT TOUCHES ON EVERY, NOT EVERY, BUT MANY SUBJECTS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED AND ARE IN QUESTION DEESCALATION.
UM, IMPLICIT BIAS, EXPLICIT BIAS.
UM, IT'S REALLY AN EXCELLENT CLASS.
UM, SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE, WE DEFINITELY WANNA DO.
HEY, CHIEF, HOW OFTEN IS A CLASS GIVEN? UM, IT'S, IT'S HARD TO SAY.
IT'S, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE VERY, VERY MUCH IN DEMAND.
THEY JUST FINISHED AT YONKERS PD.
I THINK WE'D BE THE ONLY, THE SECOND AGENCY IN WESTCHESTER THAT'S TRAINED IN THIS.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S REALLY TIMELY TRAINING.
IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR, UM, UH, RESIDENT, UH, OR A FEW RESIDENTS OR MEMBERS OF THE TOWN, UM, STAFF TO, TO SIT IN ON THIS, TO OBSERVE IT? YOU KNOW, I'LL, I'LL ASK THE INSTRUCTORS IF, IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY, IF NOT IN PERSON EVEN ZOOM.
BUT I DON'T, WE SENT, WE SENT SOME INSTRUCTORS TO BECOME, TRAIN THE TRAINERS IN THIS CLASS.
AND PART OF IT BEFORE THEY DO IT, IS THEY HAVE TO LIKE, TEACH SOME MODULES.
SO THERE COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY DOWN THE ROAD.
WHERE WE CAN, WE CAN OFFER A TOWN WIDE, YOU KNOW, TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE TOWN.
ARE YOU LOOKING TO ADD THAT, I'M SORRY, JUDI, GO AHEAD.
YOU HAD SOMETHING, I'M SORRY, JUDI.
NO, I WAS JUST SAYING THANK YOU.
SO IS, ARE YOU, IF, IF ALL, IF, IF IT'S THE TRAINING SEEMS TO WORK OUT FOR GREENBERG, ARE YOU LOOKING TO ADD THAT TO PART OF YOUR TRAINING, UM, REQUIREMENTS IF IT, YOU KNOW, PANS OUT TO BE THIS WHAT WE NEED? YEAH.
IF THIS, IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE, YOU KNOW, WE SENT SOME OFFICERS DOWN TO YONKERS.
THEY HAD SOME, SOME EMPTY SEATS.
AND THE FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS, WE HAVE TO DO THIS.
UM, SO YEAH, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WANNA INCORPORATE MM-HMM.
AND I'LL TALK, I CAN TALK TO THE BOARD IN, IN, IN DEPTH A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING AND, AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T OVERSTAFF THE DEPARTMENT.
[00:05:01]
SO WHEN WE HAVE TO TRAIN SOMEONE MM-HMM.AND IT'S NOT EVERY SINGLE POSITION.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE PROBABLY LIKE, IF THERE'S NO VACATIONS AND NO SICK CALLS AND NO REQUEST FOR TIME OFF, WE COULD PROBABLY TAKE TWO TO THREE OFFICERS, MAYBE TOUR AND CHANGE THEM AND NOT REPLACE 'EM.
BUT GENERALLY TO TRAIN THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT, IT'S A, IT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
SO THAT'S WHY TRAINING, WE WELCOME IT, BUT IT'S ALWAYS A CHALLENGE TO SCHEDULE AND, AND, AND TO STAY WITHIN, YOU KNOW, THE OVERTIME BUDGET.
DOES ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? NO, NO.
CHIEF, IF, IF I CAN, DAVE, IF I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU.
WHEN IS THE START DATE? ON THIS START DATE? I BELIEVE IS MAY 6TH OR SEVENTH.
WE'RE GONNA DO TWO DAYS AND THEN AGAIN MAY 17TH.
SO YOU'RE TALKING, UH, NEXT WEEK THEN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYONE FOR THE CHIEF? NO.
OKAY, CHIEF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IF WE NEED, I'LL CIRCLE BACK TO YOU.
YEAH, I JUST WANNA, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, ASK, UM, A LOT OF PEO THE LIBRARY IS, UH, PROBABLY GONNA OPEN UP, YOU KNOW, NEXT WEEK, UM, UH, ON UNLIMITED, UM, YOU KNOW, SCALE.
AND I THINK THAT, UH, THE TIME HAS COME FOR, UH, THE TOWN BOARD TO, UH, ALLOW INDOOR, UH, RECREATION FOR, UH, THE SENIORS, UM, AT, YOU KNOW, VETERAN PARK.
AND ALSO FOR US TO, UH, DISCUSS, UM, REOPENING UP, UM, YOU KNOW, TOWN HALL.
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FROM PEOPLE.
UM, YOU KNOW, REALLY ALL THE EMPLOYEES HAVE HAD THE ABILITY TO BE VACCINATED, UM, UM, IF THEY, IF THEY CHOSE.
UM, AND, UH, THE CITY OF NEW YORK IS, UH, YOU KNOW, OPENING UP THE COUNTY, UM, YOU KNOW, HAS, YOU KNOW, IS MORE OPEN THAN WE ARE, WE HEARD FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I JUST FEEL THAT IT'S STARTING TO IMPACT, UM, OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES.
AND IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY NOT NECESSARY TO BE, UM, TO BE, UH, YOU KNOW, CLOSED.
AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST, YOU KNOW, I, I FEEL THAT THE TOWN BOARD SHOULD COME UP WITH A, YOU KNOW, A SCHEDULE.
UM, WE COULD GIVE EMPLOYEES, UM, UH, WHO HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, NOT WORKING, WE HAVE, HAVE BEEN WORKING FROM HOME.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, A TIME TABLE WHEN WE EXPECT THEM TO BE BACK.
AND WE SHOULD, I THINK, LET, UH, RESIDENTS, UM, ACCESS SOME, YOU KNOW, UH, TOWN EMPLOYEES BY APPOINTMENT, JUST LIKE THE COUNTY DOES.
THEY CAN MEET AT IN THE AUDITORIUM.
UM, DON'T HAVE TO MEET, YOU KNOW, INSIDE THE BUILDING.
AND I THINK IT, I THINK THIS WOULD BE A, AN IMPORTANT, I THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT THE BOARD ON, YOU KNOW, IS THOUGHTS ON THIS, YOU KNOW, ARE, I MEAN, I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS, UM, QUITE A FEW TIMES AND WE WERE LOOKING TO PUT WORK TO PUT A PLAN IN PLACE SO WE CAN OPEN UP TOWN HALL.
I MEAN, THIS IS DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN LOOKING TO DO THIS FOR A WHILE.
SO I THINK ONCE WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE, HOW WE'RE GOING TO BRING EVERYONE BACK SAFELY AND HOW THE, WHAT THE PROCESS IS GONNA BE FOR THOSE WHO WILL COME TO TOWN HALL AND WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTIONS GOING TO BE.
I THINK THEN WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO OPEN UP TOWN HALL, YOU KNOW, FOR SERVICES AS WE AS NEEDED.
UM, SO I JUST THINK AS A, WE JUST NEED TO FINISH, FINISH THAT, FINISH THAT PLAN.
LET ME ASK A QUESTION, BECAUSE YOU WORK FOR, YOU KNOW, THE STATE AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN YOUR, YOUR BUILDING, YOU KNOW, IN YOUR, FOR YOUR OFFICE? AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S REDUCED, IT'S REDUCED CAPACITY.
SO WE ARE OPEN, IT'S REDUCED STAFFING DEPENDING ON, BECAUSE I WORK IN A LARGE BUILDING, IT'S ALL DEPENDING ON HOW MANY PEOPLE BUY FLOORS.
UM, SO I WORK IN A 17TH FLOOR BUILDING.
SO DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, THE NUMBER OF FLOORS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STAFFED ON THAT FLOOR IS WHAT PERCENTAGE CAN COME BACK.
SO WE DON'T HAVE, WE'RE NOT FULLY, WE'RE NOT FULLY BACK YET, BUT THERE ARE SOME THAT HAVE TO GO.
SO ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE ESSENTIAL STAFF, LIKE OUR IT PEOPLE AND, UM, OUR MARKETING PEOPLE, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THERE AND THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC.
BUT AGAIN, IT IS, YOU KNOW, SOME OF US COME ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK.
AGAIN, AN ALL DEPENDING ON WHAT THE STAFFING LEVELS ARE AND APPROVALS NEED TO BE, UM, GIVEN BY MANAGERS.
[00:10:02]
PAUL, MAY I JUST ADD, MAY I JUST ADD TO THAT? UM, THE CLERK'S OFFICE, UH, WORKS WITH SEVERAL STATE OFFICES ALMOST ON A DAILY LEVEL DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, UM, THE, UM, DEPARTMENT OF VITAL STATISTICS.AND, UM, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE BACK AT HALF STAFFING.
SO, AND, AND JUST TO ADD TO WHAT, WHAT GINA JUST SAID, UM, THEY HAVE HALF STAFF COME IN, STAFF WILL COME IN THE, THE STAFF.
SO HALF WILL COME IN TWO DAYS, ANOTHER HALF WILL COME IN TWO DAYS, AND THEN ON A THIRD DAY EVERYBODY IS IN TOGETHER, BUT THEY SOCIAL DISTANCE AND THEY, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT, UH, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
SO THERE IS AN EVEN AMOUNT OF TIME BEING, BEING, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S, THAT'S WITH, WITH REGARDS TO COMING BACK INTO THE STATE OFFICE SPACE.
THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY AT LEAST THREE STATE OFFICES.
LET, LET ME ASK ANOTHER QUESTION.
UM, THE SENIOR CITIZENS, THEY, UH, WANNA USE, UM, YOU KNOW, PLAY BRIDGE, THEY WANNA GO INDOORS.
UM, UH, THE SENIORS WHO WANT GO INSIDE ARE ALL VACCINATED.
WHY CAN'T WE, UM, UH, AUTHORIZE, UH, THE COMMISSIONER PARKS TO, UH, LET THEM GO ENDORSE? I MEAN, IT REALLY, IT CREATES, UH, IT'S A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF EVERYBODY'S VACCINATED, THERE'S REALLY, REALLY KNOW VERY SMALL, UM, YOU KNOW, HEALTH RISKS.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND JERRY CAN COME AND GIVE A PLAN, WHERE'S MANAGEABLE.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE, HAVE THE PROPER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE, THEN WE CAN DO THAT.
I MEAN, I, IT'S AGAIN, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING I DON'T SEE, I DON'T SEE, UM, THE COMMISSIONER ON THE LINE, COULD WE CALL HIM NOW? COULD WE CALL HIM? BECAUSE NO, I MEAN, I MEAN, IT, I REALLY IS LIKE A MAJOR, UM, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, FOR THE SENIORS WHO WANNA USE IT, THIS IS A QUALITY OF LIFE, UM, YOU KNOW, CONCERN AND WELL, I GET IT.
TRUST ME, WHEN I TELL YOU, I, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE CABIN FEVER.
HOWEVER, AS WE HAVE MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THIS PANDEMIC, THAT SAFETY IS FIRST.
SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, ONCE WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMISSIONER AND THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE PROPER PROCEDURE, THE PROPER SAFETY PROCEDURES IN PLACE, THEN WE, YOU KNOW, THEN WE CAN FURTHER THE CONVERSATION.
BUT I KNOW THERE WAS A CONCERN, AND WHICH WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST.
SO I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMISSIONER.
UM, AND THEN WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT SAFETY PLAN WE CAN PUT IN PLACE.
'CAUSE WE, WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN IS THAT THE, THE SENIORS ARE AT RISK, OR, AND THEN WE HAVE ISSUE, AND THEN WE HAVE AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION WITH ONE OF OUR SENIORS BECAUSE THEY ARE PRIDE AND JOY.
I ASK A QUESTION, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE, MAKE SURE, AS I STATED BEFORE, AND AS WE STATED BEFORE IN PRIOR MEETINGS, THAT WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE THAT HAS ALL THE SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE CAN, ARE COMFORTABLE.
'CAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO ANY ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS, SENIOR OR NOT.
SO COULD WE HAVE JERRY, UH, SPEAK TO US TONIGHT? 'CAUSE AGAIN, I'M GETTING, I'M THE ONE GETTING CALLS FROM SENIORS AND PEOPLE ARE REALLY ANGRY.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR PRESSURE, PAUL, I UNDERSTAND YOUR PRESSURE, PAUL, BUT AS I, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, IT IS A PLAN.
I JUST, YOU KNOW, OUR CONVERSATIONS, I, I DON'T WANNA, I DON'T WANNA BE HASTED AND, AND PULL THE TRIGGER AND SAY, YES, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS, AND WE DON'T HAVE A FULLY BAKED PLAN IN PLACE.
AND I GET, I GET THE PRESSURE THAT YOU'RE UNDER PULL.
I SAID, BUT I THINK, I THINK, AND, AND AGAIN, I WILL, I WON'T SPEAK BE ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, BUT I, I WANNA, I THINK THEY WOULD AGREE THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING, SAFETY, PROCO SAFETY PROTOCOLS IN PLACE BEFORE WE PULL THE TRIGGER.
AND AGAIN, I AM SYMPATHETIC TO ALL OF THE SENIORS WHO WANTS TO GET OUT AND, AND ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IT'S GETTING WARM, IT'S GONNA BE A VERY BEAUTIFUL DAY TOMORROW.
WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN IN THE HOUSE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.
WE DO WANNA GET OUT AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT WHAT, WHAT WE WANNA ENSURE AND WHAT WAS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IS THAT WE HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE AND A THAT SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON.
BUT JERRY, THE LAST TIME WE HEARD FROM JERRY, I KNOW YOU, YOU'RE THE LAST TIME, ISN'T JERRY ON VACATION FROM JERRY? JERRY WAS READY TO OPEN IT UP.
DIDN'T HE TELL US HE WAS GOING ON VACATION? I BELIEVE HE IS AS AND, AND OUR OTHER COMMISSIONER OF, UM, COMMUNITY RESOURCES ON VACATION AS WELL.
SO WE CAN'T, SO WE CAN'T TALK TO HIM TONIGHT ABOUT IT.
I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, ONE DEPARTMENT AT A TIME.
WHENEVER THEY GET READY TO ROLL AROUND TO IT, I THINK WE SHOULD ASK
[00:15:01]
EACH DEPARTMENT HEAD, WHO'S GONNA BE HAVING PEOPLE COME IN, WHAT THEIR PLAN IS, EVALUATE ALL THOSE PLANS AT THE SAME TIME SO THAT EVERYONE WHO, YOU KNOW, SO THAT, SO THAT WE'RE NOT DOING A PIECEMEAL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO CAN I MAKE A, A SUGGESTION TO THE BOARD? COULD WE ALLOCATE NEXT WEEK, NEXT TUESDAY? ONLY THING ON THE AGENDA WILL BE THE REOPENING OF TOWN HALL AND PARKS AND THE T D Y C C, BECAUSE I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT A LOT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL IT'S BECOMING, UH, AN ABUSE WHERE BASICALLY THEY FEEL PEOPLE ARE BEING VACCINATED.THEY FEEL THAT, UH, OTHER GOVERNMENT BODIES ALL OVER ARE OPEN, ARE OPENING UP.
WE'RE NOT WHERE WE WERE A YEAR AGO, YOU KNOW, WITH WITH COVID, YOU KNOW, THE GOVERNORS ARE, UH, UH, MAKING, UH, IT EASIER TO CONGREGATE.
UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IF PEOPLE WEAR THEIR MASKS, IF, IF WE HAVE SOME SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WE COULD FOLLOW BASICALLY WHAT THE COUNTY IS DOING, UM, WHAT OTHER GOVERNMENTS ARE DOING.
AND I FEEL THAT IF WE WOULD COMMIT THAT NEXT WEEK, THE ONLY THING WE'RE GONNA DO IS, UH, IS UM, IS FOCUS ON THIS, COME UP WITH A PLAN, AND UH, AND THEN ANNOUNCE IT.
AND WE COULD HAVE ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS THERE.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, BE GREAT.
AND THEN, THEN WE CAN MOVE, MOVE, YOU KNOW, MOVE FORWARD.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE THAT WE DO IT MORE ON A GRADUAL, WE MIGHT WANNA DO IT MORE ON A GRADUAL BASIS.
WE COULD GIVE DEPARTMENT HEADS SOME, UM, SOME FLEXIBILITY.
BUT AGAIN, I REALLY BELIEVE THE TIME HAS COME TO, UM, UM, TO REOPEN TOWN HALL AND LET PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONCERNS OR MEET WITH EMPLOYEES, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR TOWN HALL, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PAYING PEOPLE FULL SALARIES AND IF PEOPLE AREN'T DOING FULL, YOU KNOW, AND, AND WE EXPECT FULL-TIME WORK FOR FULL-TIME SALARIES.
NOW THAT'S BECAUSE, AND THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S NO REASON NOT, NOT TO, UH, YOU KNOW, NOT TO, UM, UM, MOVE FORWARD ON THIS AT THIS POINT, IN MY OPINION.
AND I THINK THAT'S, OH, I'M SORRY, KEN.
NO, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY I'M, I, I AM NOT AWARE OF ANYONE BEING PAID A FULL-TIME SALARY AND NOT WORKING FULL-TIME.
KNOW, BUT IT'S ALSO, BUT IT'S ALSO HARD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.
NO, I'M SAYING WHEN I HAVE CONSTITUENT, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS, IT'S HARDER TO GET THE RESPONSES WHEN NOT EVERYBODY'S, YOU KNOW, AROUND.
IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, WE, THE EMPLOYEES DID IT HAVE BEEN DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB, UM, YOU KNOW, DURING THIS PANDEMIC, BUT NOW'S THE TIME WHEN WE WANNA, I THINK REOPEN.
UM, I DON'T THINK WE DISPUTE WITH YOU, PAUL, NO ONE'S DISPUTING WITH YOU.
WE, WE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.
WE UNDERSTAND WE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP THIS TOWN HALL AND OTHER AGENT, OTHER, UH, TOWN BUILDINGS THAT ARE NOT FULLY OPEN YET.
AND AGAIN, WE ARE WORKING IN, IN, IN, IN A SAFE MANNER.
SO I THINK YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL IT TO US.
IF WE CAN, AS YOU JUST STATED, IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE AGENDA STAYS, STAYS TO THE ITEMS THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED AND WE DON'T GET PILED ON, SO WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO ACT THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT NEEDED, UM, TO WORK AND, AND SORT OUT EVERYTHING, THEN THAT'S FINE.
THEN THAT'S, BUT YOU KNOW, WE MAKE, WE MAKE THE PLAN, WE MAKE A PLAN LIKE THIS, AND THEN NEXT THING I KNOW, WE, WE COME AROUND MONDAY NIGHT AND THERE'S 85,000 THINGS ON THE AGENDA, AND THEN WE CAN'T APPROPRIATELY GIVE THE, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE WORK ON EVERYTHING LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO.
SO LET ME JUST, I, PAUL, I JUST WANNA FINISH.
SO ABSO ABSOLUTELY PAUL, SO YES, WE CAN PUT IT ON AGENDA FOR OUR DISCUSSION FOR A DISCUSSION FOR NEXT WEEK AND THEN WHAT WE COME OUT OF, AND THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, MOVE FORWARD ON IT.
BUT YES, WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP BELABORING THE ISSUE.
AND THIS WILL BE THE ONLY ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
AND THEN WE'LL COME, WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE
IS JOAN, THERE IS, IS IS THE SECOND INTERVIEW FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS NEXT TUESDAY? YES.
SO WE CANNOT TAKE THAT OFF OF THE AGENDA.
WE HAVE TO INTERVIEW THAT PERSON BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY DON'T HAVE A QUORUM AND THEY NEED A QUORUM.
IS THERE ANYTHING, JOAN CAN'T THE AGENDA.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE FOR NEXT WEEK THAT YOU WANT? I THINK WE NEED, I THINK ONCE WE GET EVERYTHING AND, AND, AND WE HAVE A PROCESSES WHEN EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE, AND WE COULD TAKE A LOOK COME THURSDAY OR FRIDAY OR MAYBE THUR, I BELIEVE IT'S THURSDAY, THEN WE LOOK AND SEE ALL THE, ALL THE SUBMISSIONS THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE ON THE AGENDA.
AND THEN WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE APPROPRIATELY, UM, STYLE THE APPROPRIATELY STAFFED THE AGENDA, IF YOU WILL, AND PUT EVERYTHING ON THERE.
SO THE NEXT, UH, WE DO HAVE, UM, CANDIDATES
[00:20:01]
HERE FOR POSITIONS.SO PAUL, YOU GOTTA MAKE A MOTION TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSIONS TO, TO CONDUCT INTERVIEWS.
I, I MAKE A MOTION FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONDUCT PAUL BEFORE THIS GROUP FOR THE LIBRARY BEFORE THIS GOES FOR VOTE.
UM, MAY I, MAY I JUST RE UH, ASK WHY WE CANNOT DO AGENDA REVIEW AND THEN YOU REMAIN IN EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR ALL OF THE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING AND NOT COME BACK.
THE ONLY OTHER ITEM ON THIS AGENDA THAT REMAINS OUTSTANDING IS AGENDA REVIEW.
DOESN'T IT MAKE SENSE TO DO AGENDA REVIEW NOW AND THEN YOU GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK BECAUSE THERE'S TWO EXECUTIVES, UH, SESSIONS HERE.
THE, THE CANDIDATES WERE TOLD TO COME AT SPECIFIC TIMES, AND THESE ARE THOSE TIMES AND THEY'RE, AND THEY'RE HERE.
I, I UNDERSTAND THAT, FRANCIS, BUT YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS I KNOW THAT THIS AGENDA WOULD NOT REQUIRE MORE THAN FIVE TO 10 MINUTES OR ANY MORE THAN THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GO THROUGH THE AGENDA.
SO I'M ASKING PAUL, IF YOU THINK THAT IT, UM, MAKES SENSE AT THIS POINT TO GO THROUGH TO DO THE AGENDA REVIEW AND THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COME BACK FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.
ANO A SECOND EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I MEAN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WHATEVER THE BOARD, EITHER BOARD WANTS, BECAUSE I GUESS THERE'S PEOPLE WAITING.
BUT I MEAN, THE, THE, THE, ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PEOPLE WAITING, UH, FOR THE INTERVIEWS.
SO THAT'S, IT'S YOUR DECISION BY LAW.
I, I, I DON'T REALLY STATE LAW, SO IF YOU WANNA COME BACK, THAT'S FINE.
I, I, I HAVE LIKE, NO, UH, PERSONAL PREFERENCE, YOU KNOW, IF PEOPLE ARE WAITING, I DON'T WANNA HAVE THEM WAIT, YOU KNOW, TOO LONG.
BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE, I THINK YOUR SUGGESTION IS A REALLY GOOD ONE.
WE SHOULD PUT THE, UH, ANY EXECUTIVE SESSIONS AFTER THE, UM, THE, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC PORTION SO WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK.
SO I THINK GOING FORWARD WE SHOULD FOLLOW YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO DO YOU WANNA MAKE THAT A POLICY, PAUL? BECAUSE MANY TIMES YOU TELL PEOPLE TO COME AT SIX O'CLOCK TO BE INTERVIEWED FOR POSITIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE SIX O'CLOCK BECOME SEVEN O'CLOCK OR EIGHT O'CLOCK.
ARE YOU STATING BESIDES WHAT, WHAT YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT PAUL, YOU MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS REGARDING THE TOWN BOARD MEETINGS IS NOT TRUE.
AND AT THE POINT OF CLARIFICATION, I DID NOT SAY THAT.
I SAID BY LAW THE TOWN SUPERVISOR PRESIDES OVER THE MEETINGS OF THE BOARD.
I DID NOT SAY WHAT YOU JUST STATED.
SO THAT'S A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S, THERE'S WAY.
LET'S JUST, LET'S JUST CLARIFY THAT WE OPERATE AS A BOARD.
YEAH, SHE'S, UM, SHE, SHE'S FOR THE LIBRARY, BUT SHE'S THE FIRST ONE ON.
THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO FIGHTING OVER THIS.
THE, ALL I'M SAYING IS MAYBE GOING FORWARD, WHAT WE COULD ALWAYS DO IS WE COULD HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR INTERVIEWS IF WE WANNA DO, UNLESS WE WANNA DO, UH, SOMEBODY, UH, AT HAL SAM SENT US AN EMAIL EARLIER TODAY SAYING HE FEELS THAT, UM, ALL THE INTERVIEWS SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC AND, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT WANT TO DISCUSS, UH, FOR SOME OF THE BOARDS, WHETHER WE WANNA HAVE PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS OR, UM, UH, OR KEEP IT IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE PAST, SOMETIMES WE DID IT IN PUBLIC AND SOMETIMES WE DIDN'T.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE TOWN BOARD COULD DISCUSS.
BUT WE COULD START, LET'S SAY WE'D HAVE A SIX O'CLOCK, 6:00 PM MEETING.
WE COULD START, FIRST ITEMS COULD BE EXECUTIVE SESSION, UM, IN TERMS OF INTERVIEWS, IF YOU BASICALLY WANT TO DO, UH, THE INTERVIEWS AND THEN WE COULD GO INTO THE PUBLIC MEETING, WE COULD DO THAT ALSO.
SO WE COULD DO WHAT, UH, UM, JUDITH RECOMMENDED WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH AND, AND DO IT IN A WAY WHERE IT COULD BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
SO AT THIS POINT, AND IN THE INTEREST OF MOVING ON, PAUL, ARE YOU MOVING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WHO IS SECONDING? YOU ALREADY THAT MOTION? YOU ALREADY MADE THE MOTION.
SO WE HAVE THE UPCOMING TOWN BOARD MEETINGS, UM, THE MOMENT OF SILENCE.
[00:25:01]
DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA APPROXIMATELY HOW LONG EACH ONE OF THESE WILL RUN? ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.UH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THE HOUSING AUTHORITY, UM MM-HMM.
SINCE WE'RE NOT READY FOR, UM, UH, THE LOCAL LAW RELATING TO THE CONSERVATION ADVISORY COUNCIL, SHOULD WE TAKE THAT OFF THE AGENDA? I, I THOUGHT WE WANTED TO EXPAND IT OR AT LEAST HAVE, GET IT THE IN MOTION FOR EXPANDING IT, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T, IT'S GONNA DELAY IT EVEN MORE.
WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A LOCAL LAW YET.
I MEAN, SO WE NORMALLY HAVE A LOCAL LAW.
WHEN WE INTRODUCE A LOCAL LAW, WE COULD DO THAT.
WE COULD SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR IT.
AND THEN THE DATE OF THE HEARING, YOU CAN INTRODUCTION ON A LOCAL LAW.
RIGHT? SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THE INTRODUCTION NOW, BUT WE COULD, WE DO THE SCHEDULING, RIGHT? THEN WE HAVE REGENERON.
NOW, THE DOCUMENT YOU SENT YESTERDAY, TIM, IS THAT THE LATEST ONE? UH, YEAH, I DIDN'T SEND IT YESTERDAY.
I SENT IT LAST, UM, WEDNESDAY OF LAST WEEK.
YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S, I KNOW WHAT DOCUMENT THIS IS THAT YOU RECEIVED YESTERDAY, BUT THIS I SENT LAST WEEK.
SO WHATEVER WE GOT LAST WEEK IS WHAT, WHAT WE USE HERE, BECAUSE I, YES.
I THOUGHT I SAW AN EMAIL YESTERDAY REGARDING NOT FOR ME SAYING THAT IT'S, IT'S URGENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR THE KEVIN MORGAN WAY.
DO WE NEED A STREET CLOSING FOR THE EVENT? WE WILL, BUT YOU KNOW, WE COULD DO THAT WHEN WE GET CLOSER.
UNLESS YOU JUST, UNLESS YOU WANT TO.
UH, NOW WHY DON'T WE DO IT WHEN WE GET CLOSER? UH, MAYBE WE COULD ACTUALLY DO IT.
WELL THEN WE KNOW, WE KNOW IT'S A STREET CLOSING.
'CAUSE IT'S BASICALLY, UH, I'M, I'M JUST THINKING FOR ONE OF THE LOCATION, UH, YOU KNOW, BABBITT COURT, IT HAS TWO ENTRANCES AND WE WANNA, UH, DO SOMETHING, DO BOTH, UM, AT ONE OF THE ENTRANCES, THEY REALIZE IT'S NOT A STREET CLOSING, BUT JUST THAT LITTLE SITE ONE SECTION, RIGHT? YEAH.
WELL, WE, WE CAN DO THAT, BUT MAYBE, UH, IT SHOULD BE A SEPARATE RESOLUTION.
WE COULD DO IT AT THE NEXT MEETING.
'CAUSE IT'S MAY 20TH, RIGHT? DO WE WANNA SAY MAY 20TH DESIGNATION ON THE AGENDA? SURE.
THIS WAY WE, WE HAVE THE DATE.
UH, MAY 20TH, UH, 6:00 PM I THINK IT'S 6:00 PM RIGHT? RIGHT ON.
I AM JUST DOING THIS ROUGHLY TO REMIND YOU LATER.
HIGHLIGHT IT, FRANCIS, BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT.
JUST SO IT KIND OF STANDS OUT TO YOU.
YEAH, IT'S GONNA GET CRAZY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE CLAIMS, PROPERTY DAMAGE CLAIM, EXERTS, EXCERPTS, STREET CLOSING.
AND I THINK, UH, DYNASTY WAS UP TO, UP TO YES.
UH, SUBMISSION OF A GRANT APPLICATION.
THERE'S, UH, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PUT SOME MORE GRAVES ON THE CEMETERY ON THE NO SIDE OF SEACOR ROAD.
AND THERE'S BEEN OUTREACH TO THE, UH, NEIGHBORS ABOUT THAT AND SEEMS TO BE, SEEMS TO BE WELL ON THE WAY.
[00:30:02]
IS GARRETT, ARE YOU ON? YES, I'M ON.OH, SO WHY DON'T YOU GIVE US A LITTLE RUNDOWN OF CD ONE THROUGH FOUR.
SO STARTING WITH CD ONE IS INDEED A GRANT APPLICATION.
THE TOWN OF GREENBURG IS A CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT THROUGH, UH, NEW YORK STATE PARKS.
AND THAT'S BY VIRTUE OF HAVING OUR, UH, H AND L P B AND ALL THE, UH, HISTORIC PRESERVATION EFFORTS THAT THE TOWN HAS HISTORICALLY, UH, ACCOMPLISHED.
AND BY VIRTUE OF BEING A C L G, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A GRANT.
AND WHAT IS BEING SOUGHT IS A GRANT, UH, FOR $12,000, UH, WHICH WOULD HAVE A SMALL TOWN MATCH.
AND WE WOULD SEEK TO UPDATE THE 2006 RECONNAISSANCE LEVEL HISTORIC RESOURCE RESOURCE SURVEY.
AND, UM, THAT'S SOMETHING THE H AND L P B HAS OUT ADVOCATED FOR, FOR A WHILE.
AND REALLY WHAT IT WOULD DO IS, IS, IS BUILD ON THAT STUDY AND, UM, TARGET POTENTIAL, UH, HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS BEYOND, UH, WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN THE TOWN.
SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE A, A VERY HELPFUL, UH, STUDY AND ALLOW THE TOWN TO PROACTIVELY PLAN, UH, FOR HISTORIC RESOURCES.
AND WE ALSO HAVE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE, UH, H AND L P V ON THAT MM-HMM.
SO FOLLOWING WITH, UH, CD TWO.
AS YOU NOTED, UH, FERN, UH, COUNCILMAN SHEEN FERNCLIFF SEEKS TO, UH, EXPAND ITS, UH, CEMETERY, UH, LAND, UH, OR I'M SORRY, USE SOME LAND THAT'S, THAT IS NOT PRESENTLY USED, UH, FOR CEMETERY PURPOSES IN THE NORTHERN, NORTHERN, UH, MIDDLE PORTION OF ITS CEMETERY.
THE, THE, THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN PROACTIVE, MET WITH NEIGHBORS CIVIC ASSOCIATION LEADERS.
WE, WE COORDINATED THAT THROUGH ZOOM AND, UM, AND, AND, AND INDEED THIS APPLICANT MET WITH THE TOWN BOARD TO SHARE THEIR, THEIR CONCEPT.
AND THEY'VE SINCE FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH A FORMAL SITE PLAN APPLICATION.
SO THIS IS THE TYPICAL, UH, SEEKER LEAD AGENCY INTENT RESOLUTION AND REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD.
SO TO BE VERY CLEAR, THE ACTUAL CEMETERY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SEACO ROAD, IN THE EXISTING BOUNDARIES OF THAT CEMETERY, THEY WANT TO ADD ADDITIONAL CEMETERY PLOTS IN THE EXISTING PROPERTY LINES THAT ARE, THERE IS NOT AN EXPANSION OF THE CEMETERY.
UM, IT'S SIMPLY, UH, TAKING AREA OF THAT THE FERN CLIFF CEMETERY THAT HASN'T BEEN USED FOR GRAVES.
AND IT WILL BE USED IN GRAVES.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
INDEED, IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF, UH, SEACORE ROAD, THE MAIN CEMETERY THERE, OR THE CEMETERY.
AND CD THREE IS A SIMILAR, UH, LEAD AGENCY INTENT RESOLUTION AS WELL AS REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD.
AND THAT IS A AMENDED SITE PLAN APPLICATION OF HACKLEY SCHOOL.
AND WHAT HACKLEY SEEKS TO DO AT THIS, AT PRESENT IS, IS, IS, IS UPDATE, ITS ITS MASTER PLAN, WHICH IT'S CONTINUALLY, UH, DONE OVER THE YEARS.
AND AT PRESENT IT WOULD BE A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER BUILDING, UH, THAT WOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING OLDER GYM AND, AND ARTS BUILDING.
AND, UH, THE RENDERINGS, UH, LOOK PHENOMENAL.
AND, UH, IT'S IF, IF, IF, IF, IF ANY BOARD MEMBERS HAVEN'T BEEN, UH, THE LAST EDITION BY HACKLEY SCHOOL, UH, WHICH WAS THE, THE GYMNASIUM, IT WAS, IS JUST FROM A SHEER, UH, ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVE IS AN AMAZING BUILDING.
AND THIS SEEKS TO, UH, FOLLOW SUIT.
SO, UH, THIS WILL START THAT PROCESS.
I WOULD NOTE WE WILL, UH, BE INVOLVING THE, UH, VILLAGE OF TARRYTOWN AS THERE ARE SOME PARKING THAT'S PROPOSED IN THE VILLAGE.
SO, UM, THERE, THERE'S AN APPROVAL PROCESS THERE AND, AND WE HAVE BEEN IN COORDINATION WITH THE VILLAGE.
AND THEN LASTLY IS THE, UH, RESOLUTION, UH, PROCLAIMING APRIL 30TH AS ARBOR DAY IN THE TOWN OF GREENBURG.
AND, UM, UH, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER SCHMIDT TYPICALLY, UH, COORDINATES A TREE PLANTING ON, UH, SCHOOL PROPERTY IN THE TOWN.
SO I WILL, UH, GET THE UPDATE FROM HIM ON WHERE THAT'S SCHEDULED AND WE CAN, UM, MAKE, MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW AT THE, AT THE TOWN BOARD MEETING.
AND THEN WE HAVE, UM, BUDGET TRANSFERS REGARDING BUDGET ITEMS INVOLVING THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
[00:35:01]
ARE YOU ON? YES, SIR.UM, THE PR ONE IS OUR ANNUAL, UH, TREE BID THAT WE WENT OUT.
AND THE, UH, LOW BIDDER THAT, UH, MET, UH, SPECIFICATION IS RAMOS TREE SERVICE.
UH, THAT'S FOR PRUNING AND REMOVING TREES.
UH, AND IT'S, UH, NOT TO EXCEED $54,000, UH, FOR THE CONTRACT, UH, TO THE COST WOULD BE UP TO 54,000.
BEFORE YOU GO THERE, WAS THIS THE LOWEST BIDDER, NOT JUST THE LOWEST? IT WAS THE LOWEST BIDDER, CORRECT.
SO WHY DON'T WE ACTUALLY JUST SAY THAT BECAUSE LOIS RESPONSIBLE BIDDER IMPLIES THAT WE MAY HAVE PASSED OVER
OH, WELL, THERE WAS, THERE WAS ONE ITEM THAT SOMEONE WAS LOWER ITEM NUMBER ONE IF WE LOOKED AT THE, UH, SUMMARY SHEET.
AND ITEM ONE, UH, WAS BROKEN OUT INTO LIKE ONE A AND ONE B AND THE, UH, BIDDER, UH, ONLY BID ON ONE A, WHICH WAS REALLY LOW.
SO THAT, THAT, THAT BID, UH, WAS REJECTED 'CAUSE IT DIDN'T COMPLETE THE, UH, THE WHOLE ITEM BID ITEM.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHY WE SAID LOWEST RESPONSIBLE.
AND THEN PR TWO, IT'S, UH, AUTHORIZING, UH, A AWARD TO LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER FOR POOL CHEMICALS AND SUPPLIES FOR 2021.
THAT'S AN ANNUAL, UH, BID THAT WE GO OUT FOR.
AND IT'S FOR ITEMS NOT TO EXCEED $70,000 PLUS CHANGE, UH, WHICH IS, WHICH ARE BUDGETED, UH, ITEMS. YOU MAYBE, UH, OH, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES.
COULD YOU MAYBE JUST, UH, TELL US THE PLAN FOR THE, THE POOL FOR THE SEASON? ARE, ARE YOU PLANNING THE SAME, SAME AS LAST YEAR, OR IS IT GONNA BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT? IT'S GONNA BE, UM, DIFFERENT FROM LA LAST YEAR, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD PEOPLE CALL UP, UH, OR GO ONLINE AND REGISTER TO COME IN.
WE HAD A MORNING SESSION AND AN AFTERNOON SESSION, AND OF COURSE, UM, THAT MADE IT, UH, VERY SAFE.
UM, AND WE WERE NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE WE CAN HANDLE, UH, EVEN UNDER, SINCE IT WENT SO WELL.
WE ARE NOW GOING TO HAVE JUST ONE OPEN SESSION.
NO PRIOR, UH, UH, REGISTRATION WILL BE REQUIRED.
UM, WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW GUESTS, UH, TO, TO RETURN THIS SUMMER.
UM, BUT WHEN THEY COME THROUGH THE GATE, UH, THEY WILL HAVE TO, UH, FILL OUT A, UH, PRE, UH, COVID ASSESSMENT, UH, UH, CHECKLIST, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAVE A FEVER.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED IN THE LAST 14 DAYS AND THE STANDARD STUFF THAT, UH, PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN FILLING OUT.
SO, UH, WE ARE EXPECTING, UM, YOU KNOW, A SEASON, UH, WHICH IS A LOT NORMAL.
HOWEVER, UH, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A MASK, UH, WHEN, WHEN WALKING, WE MAY HAVE TO REASSESS THAT BECAUSE, UM, THE PRESIDENT CAME OUT WITH NEW C D C MASK GUIDELINES AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE DO FURTHER RESEARCH AND SEE HOW THAT CAN APPLY FOR THE POOL AND WHETHER WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE, UH, THE SAME RESTRICTION.
BUT WE WERE GONNA GO INTO THE SEASON, UH, WEARING A MASK THE SAME WE DID LAST YEAR.
SO, UH, WE HAVE ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, FIVE WEEKS, UH, TO REVIEW THAT, UH, AND THEN COME AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS, UH, FULLY AWARE OF WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN'T DO.
I, AND THEN ON PR THREE, UH, IT'S A RESOLUTION, UH, UH, UH, RECOMMENDING TO AWARD TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDERS.
IT'S, UH, MULTIPLE VENDORS, UH, FOR LANDSCAPE SUPPLIES FOR THE, UH, 2021, UH, SEASON, UH, FOR A, UH, ALL BID ITEMS NOT TO EXCEED $7,000.
AND THEY ARE BUDGETED ITEMS ON PR TWO FOR THE POOL.
COMMON CALLS, UH, ARE WE POOLING THE, THE BIDS WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER AS WELL SO THAT WE CAN GET A BETTER PRICE ON BULK? UM, I GOTTA DOUBLE CHECK WITH MY PARK SUPERINTENDENT.
I'M NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE.
I DO KNOW ANYTIME WE DO GO OUT TO BID, THEY ARE TO BE USED FOR ANY TOWN DEPARTMENT.
SO THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN CHERRY PICK WHAT THEY WANT OR, OR DON'T WANT ON THAT.
BUT I WILL DOUBLE CHECK WITH BOBBY.
WINSTON, ARE YOU ON? YES, FRANCIS.
WE RECEIVED A GRANT FROM THE WESTCHESTER COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND THAT IS FOR OUTREACH.
UM, RIGHT NOW, SUPERVISOR FINER HAS A DESIRE THAT, UM, WE TRY TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED SO THEY KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET VACCINATED.
SO THEY'LL BE USING THE INTERNS WHO WORKED IN THE OPERATION CROSSROADS PROGRAM OVER THE SUMMER TO BE A PART OF THIS OUTREACH.
THERE'LL BE A LITTLE STIPEND FOR EACH OF THE PARTICIPANTS.
BUT THIS IS GREATLY NEEDED RIGHT NOW, CERTAINLY IS THE COMMISSIONER.
[00:40:03]
OH, HE IS DONE ON, I'M HERE.SO THE FIRST IS FOR, UM, THE WATER, DEPAR WATER AND SEWER DEPARTMENT.
UM, WE HAD THIS ON A WHILE BACK, UM, BUT THIS IS THE LOWEST OF THE PRICES WE GOT.
UH, THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IS USED EVERY DAY.
I THINK THE CURRENT CAMERA THAT WE HAD THAT WAS DAMAGED WAS IN USE FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
UM, THIS IS USED FOR SEWER PIPES WHERE WE HAVE BLOCKS.
THEY TAKE THIS CAMERA AND SEND IT DOWN.
THEY'RE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUES ARE.
WE ALSO UTILIZE IT IF NEEDED IN THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT FOR DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. IT'S BEEN A VERY USEFUL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, UH, AND IT UNFORTUNATELY OUT THAT IT'S USEFUL LIFE.
SO THIS, WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE THAT.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT LENGTH IS OF THE CAMERA? I THINK IT GOES UP TO, UH, IT MIGHT BE IT'S 400.
SO THIS WILL ACTUALLY ALSO BE ABLE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ROOTS COMING THROUGH THE PIPES AND CAUSING BLOCKAGES AS WELL.
AND THE SECOND RESOLUTION IS FOR THE GREENBERG POLICE DEPARTMENT LOCKER ROOM.
THIS IS FOR, UH, THE, UH, TO REPLACE THE EXISTING WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM.
THEY RAN OUT OF ROOM, OBVIOUSLY THEY'VE BEEN HIRING, UH, OFFICERS, AND WE ARE TAKING WHAT WAS, UH, A SPACE IN A BOILER ROOM THAT WAS DECOMMISSIONED AND TURNING IT INTO A LOCKER ROOM.
THIS IS THROUGH THE GORDIAN GROUP.
UM, AND IT'S NOT TO EXCEED $50,285 AND 80 CENTS.
AND THAT IS THE AGENDA REVIEW.
SO WHAT'S THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, PAUL? UH, ADJOURN.
RIGHT? IT'S A MOTION FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO, UH, MEET WITH TIM.
I'D LIKE TO, UH, MOVE THEN WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR, FOR LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING CONTRACTUAL ISSUES AND LITIGATION MATTERS, AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS, UH, MATTERS INVOLVING INDIVIDUAL PERSONNEL.
WE WERE ALSO GONNA BE, UH, DISCUSS TODAY, UM, THE LEAF BLOWER.
I GUESS, UH, WE NEED MORE TIME.
SO SHOULD WE JUST, YOU KNOW, UH, FIND A DATE THAT'S CONVENIENT FOR THE BOARD TO RESCHEDULE? RIGHT.
UH, THAT'LL BE PART OF A FRIDAY EVALUATION AS TO WHAT, WHAT, WHERE DO WE GO WITH, UH, DEALING WITH ALL THE TOPICS OR HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE FIT THEM ALL IN? ALL RIGHT.
SO, GINA, DID YOU SECOND THAT? I DID.
ARE YOU GONNA NEED BRIAN AND I AT ALL OR WE GOOD BY TWO IN THE AF TWO IN THE MORNING? YOU'RE EXCUSED
