7 25.UM, AND, UM, IT'S, WE'RE BEGINNING THE WORK SESSION.
LET'S SEE, WE GOT AN EMAIL EARLIER TODAY ABOUT THE GOLF CLUB.
THEY, THEY HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT, UM, YOU CONCERNS ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, APP, YOU KNOW, THE APPLICATION.
UH, DID ANYBODY ELSE SAY IT OR WHAT'S, SORRY, WHAT? TALKING ABOUT, I DUNNO.
WHAT, YOU KNOW, LET ME JUST SEE.
UH, IS THIS PART OF THE AGENDA REVIEW? YEAH.
LET ME JUST SAY, UM, PAUL, UM, BEFORE YOU GO THERE, I JUST WANT TO PULL ATTENTION TO, UM, THE SECTION OF MOMENT OF SILENCE.
UH, WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM JONATHAN PRAIRIE, WHO IS, UH, ONE OF OUR FRONTLINE STAFF PERSONS INFORMING US THAT, UM, HIS AUNT, UH, ROSA ALGA PASSED AWAY AND HE WOULD LIKE FOR US TO INCLUDE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR HER ON THE AGENDA.
SO I WILL SEND THE INFORMATION TO JOAN TO, UM, TO ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA.
I JUST EMAILED EVERYBODY THE EMAIL FROM R MAL.
FROM WHO? R MEL RELATING TO GOLF'S AMENDED SITE PLAN.
UH, TOWN BOARD AND SUPERVISOR FINDER AND TOWN TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, I COULD PROVIDE AN UPDATE THERE IF YOU'D LIKE, PLEASE.
I, I, I WAS ALSO, UH, ON THAT EMAIL AND, UM, YES, CONSISTENT WITH, UH, CONCERNS RAISED BY NEIGHBORS.
UH, THE, THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING I BELIEVE ONE 20 EAST HARTSDALE AVENUE CONVEYED CONCERNS ABOUT STORMWATER IN THE AREA.
UM, WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND IS THE APPLICANT HAS ACTUALLY REACHED OUT RECENTLY, UH, AND INDICATED THAT IT WOULD UPGRADE ITS, UH, STORMWATER DESIGN TO A 50 YEAR STORM.
UM, THAT'S OVER AND ABOVE THE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, RIGHT NOW THERE'S PRESENTLY, UH, NO STORMWATER, UH, PROVISIONS IN THE AREA OF THE, UH, GOLF COURSE.
THEY'VE SUBMITTED A FULL STORMWATER ANALYSIS FOR A 25 YEAR STORM.
UM, SO ONE THING THAT WE COULD DO IS, UM, TWEAK THE, UH, DECISION THAT THAT'S, UH, POSTED FOR TOMORROW AND ADD THAT MANDATE TO HAVE THEM, UH, BE REQUIRED TO, UH, DESIGN THE STORMWATER TO A 50 YEAR STORM EVENT.
ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE LETTER FROM MALLET, THE EMAIL FROM MARIA MALLET? UH, THAT'S, THAT'S THE EMAIL I'M REFERRING TO, YES.
ANYTHING ELSE? I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT FOR TOMORROW'S MEETING, UM, WE'VE ADDED SOME CLOSED CAPTIONING TO, TO THE MEETING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE HARD OF HEARING.
UM, IT'S AVAILABLE WHEN YOU VIEW, UM, ON, ON THE TELEVISION, THE CLOSED CAPTIONING, THERE'S AN OPTION FOR IT TO COME UP.
AND ALSO HERE IN TOWN HALL IN THE AUDITORIUM, THE FRONT LEFT HAND SIDE, THERE WILL BE A MONITOR PRESENT THAT WILL HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONING.
UM, SO THAT ANYONE WHO IS HARD OF HEARING, I, I HIGHLY SUGGEST IF YOU SIT IN THE FRONT LEFT HAND SIDE, AND, UH, HOPEFULLY YOU COULD SEE THAT MONITOR.
IT'LL BE VIEWABLE TO YOU AND MAKE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER FOR YOU FOR FOR 18.
UM, AND THANKS FOR EVERYONE WHO, UH, YOU KNOW, ACTED QUICKLY TO, TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY.
THAT'S AN INITIATIVE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A LONG TIME UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE.
I JUST HAD A QUESTION FOR AT FOUR, UH, RELATING TO THAT WAS A POLICE ISSUE THAT WE WANT SOMETHING AND WE, WE WOULD NEED TO CONTINUE IF WE WANT.
UH, THAT WAS JUST ONE PORTION OF, OF THE LAWSUIT.
UH, THIS IS A LEGAL MATTER THAT IS EXTENSIVE
[00:05:01]
AND, AND NEEDS SOME ADDITIONAL WORK.UM, SO WE DO NEED THAT RESOLUTION FOR THIS MEETING.
SO JUST, UM, GOING BACK TO, UM, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS WOULD BE ON THE AGENDA, BUT, UM, I JUST WANNA REVISIT AN OUTSTANDING, UH, APPEAL NUMBER 1 91, UM, FROM, UH, RESIDENT, UH, HAL SAMIS.
UH, HE'S, UM, UH, HAS BEEN ASKING THE CLERK'S OFFICE WHEN WE WILL GET, WHEN HE WILL RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO, UM, UH, THE TOWN BOARD'S RESPONSE TO THAT APPEAL.
AND SO I JUST WANNA REVISIT THAT SO THAT WE CAN BRING CLOSURE TO THIS FOR, UM, FOR OUR RESIDENT.
I, I HAVE BEEN COMPILING THE FINAL PACKET.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY ON THAT.
UM, I, I, JUST TO GO BACK TO, UM, WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON, BASICALLY THE CAPTIONING.
I, I WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT, UM, WHAT IDEAS YOU'VE COME UP WITH OR SOLUTIONS OR, OR IS THAT SOMETHING WELL, WELL, WHEN THE, THE CABLE ACCESS DEPARTMENT WAS UNDER SUPERVISION OF THE TOWN CLERK'S OFFICE, UH, THERE WERE SEVERAL, UM, INITIATIVES THAT WERE UNDERWAY.
ANOTHER INITIATIVE, UH, WAS THE, UM, UH, IN, IN THE STUDIO, THE BOARD THAT WOULD'VE ALLOW PEOPLE TO, UM, SEE THEIR SCRIPT OF WHAT THEY WERE STATING AS THEY HAVE IN, UM, PROFESSIONAL STUDIOS.
SO THERE WERE SEVERAL INITIATIVES UNDER MY DIRECTION THAT I, I HAD LAUNCHED AND, AND INITIATED AND THAT THEY CAPTIONING, CLOSE CAPTIONING WAS ONE OF THEM.
SO I'M JUST SAYING THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT, UM, TO, TO REALITY.
NO, I WAS JUST INTERESTED IN WHAT OTHER SURE.
OPTIONS THAT ABSOLUTE YOU HAD THOUGHT OF THERE.
THERE WERE PROPOSING, THERE ARE SEVERAL AND THE REORGANIZATION, UM, CREATED AND ABRUPT DISRUPTION IN THE INITIATIVES THAT THE, UH, THAT WERE UNDERWAY UNDER THE, UM, DIRECTION OF THE CLERK'S OFFICE.
AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT IT HAS BEEN IN, UH, IMPLEMENTED.
YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT WAS ONE OF THEM, WAS THAT, I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT OTHER OPTIONS THERE WERE AS THEY COME UP.
SO CLOSED CAPTIONING CAME UP WHEN WE MOVED OVER TO ZOOM.
UM, CLOSED CAPTIONING WAS IN, WAS DISCUSSED WAY BEFORE.
I DIDN'T INTERRUPT YOU, YOU OVER TO ZOOM, JUDITH, I DIDN'T INTERRUPT YOU.
I'M JUST SAYING THIS FOR, I DIDN'T INTERRUPT YOU.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, I'M JUST SHARING THIS FACT.
SO WHEN WE WERE DEALING WITH ZOOM, THE, THE BETTER LICENSE, UM, HAD CLOSED CAPTIONING ON IT, BUT IT WASN'T GREAT.
UM, AND IF YOU'RE DOING A ROOM, IT'S NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY TELL YOU WHO IS THE OAN SPEAKING.
IF EVERYBODY IS ON ZOOM, IT'LL ACTUALLY TAKE THE PERSON WHOSE CAMERA IT IS AND THE NAME ASSOCIATED WITH IT, YOU KNOW, THE LITTLE PIC, THE NAME AT THE BOTTOM.
AND THEN ATTRIBUTE THAT TO THE COMMENTS.
THE VENDOR THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH, THIS COMMITTEE THAT WE, THE ZOOM COMMITTEE BASICALLY, UM, THE VENDOR FOR WHATEVER REASON SAID THAT WE, WITH OUR EQUIPMENT AND THE, UM, AND THE LICENSES THAT WE HAD, HE COULDN'T PROVIDE THAT CAPABILITY TO US.
SO WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING ONE OF, UH, THE POSSIBILITIES HOW TO GET THIS FOR, FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.
CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY GOING BACK TO 2020, UH, SO THAT WE COULD THEN ADD IT IN.
BUT IT NEEDED AN UPGRADE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
'CAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF DOING CLOSED CAPTION UNTIL WE, WE, UH, ARE DOING THIS CURRENT UPGRADE THAT WE'RE DOING.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A MATTER OF HAVING SOMETHING BEING TRANSCRIBED, IT HAS TO BE TRANSCRIBED AND THEN FED INTO OUR SYSTEM THAT FEEDS VERIZON CABLE VISION AND, AND OUR ONLINE OR ONLINE VIDEO.
SO IT'S A, IT'S A COMPLICATED PROCESS, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT IT, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A GREAT SYSTEM, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW.
IT COULD BE A DELAY ANYWHERE FROM SIX SECONDS TO 50 SECONDS.
[00:10:01]
UM, BUT FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T HEAR, UH, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF THE OPTIONS THAT WE'RE EXPLORING AT THE MOMENT.AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT THIS IDEA OF CLOSE CAPTION CAME ABOUT WAY BACK IN 2000.
I'LL WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE ADJUST THEMSELVES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE INTERRUPTION OF CHAIR NOISE.
IT CAME BACK WAY BACK RIDICULOUS IN 2008 WITH THE IDEA.
ORIGINALLY, ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED BY TOWN SUPERVISOR PAUL FINER, WHEN HE APPROACHED ME ABOUT REACHING OUT FOR SOFTWARE FOR SCREAMING.
HE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE, UM, NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF FOR MANY YEARS IN TERMS OF BRINGING, UM, UH, ELECTED OFFICIALS THERE FOR THEIR SWEARING IN CEREMONIES.
AND HE FIRST PRESENTED THIS IDEA TO ME SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
AND SO IT IS NOT A NEW IDEA, IT IS NOT A NEW INITIATIVE.
AND IT ORIGINALLY CAME ABOUT THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH THE TOWN SUPERVISOR AND THE TOWN CLERK.
SO THAT IS REALLY THE TRUTH OF THIS MATTER.
NOW WE ARE AT THE POINT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF A CONCERTED EFFORT ON THE PART OF EVERYONE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT.
SO CD THREE IS GONNA BE REDUCED DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S JUST WAY TOO WORDY.
AND, UH, WHEN I C L THREE, UH, C L THREE, I'M SORRY.
UM, IT'S CORRECT ON THE RESOLUTION THAT'S OUT THERE.
IT'S CORRECT ON MY LATEST VERSION.
UM, BUT IT, IT, IT SAYS THE SAME THING IN ABOUT FOUR LINES AS OPPOSED TO ALL OF THAT.
SO CAN, CAN I JUST GO BACK TO THEN, I'M SORRY BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING UP, UM, THE, THE, UH, THE DECISION TO CONSIDER THE AMENDED SITE PLAN APPLICATION.
UM, CLARIFY THAT HOW WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING TOMORROW, IF SOMEONE WOULD CALL, I, I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER DUQUE SUGGESTED POSSIBLY ADDING, UH, ONE SMALL PHRASE.
I'M NOT SURE IF HE'S STILL AVAILABLE FOR 50 YEAR.
SO THERE WERE OTHER, THERE WERE OTHER ASPECTS IN THAT LETTER.
SO I I OH, I WASN'T CONCLUDING FROM, YEAH, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, PROCESS WISE, DID THE TOWN BOARD, UH, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INDEED THE TOWN BOARD CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING ON, I BELIEVE, UM, JULY 13TH AND HELD THE RECORD OPEN FOR 10 DAYS.
DO YOU FEEL THAT AT ALL SINCE THAT TIME, THE ZONING BOARD IS GRANTED A VARIANCE AND THE PLANNING BOARD IS CLOSED, IT'S PUBLIC HEARING.
DO YOU, DO YOU FEEL THAT, UH, WE HAVE TO VOTE TOMORROW OR DO YOU THINK WE COULD, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO, YOU KNOW, SO NOBODY IF, BECAUSE I THINK WE GOT ONE OR TWO OTHER EMAILS FROM, YOU KNOW, SOME RESIDENTS, WOULD IT HAVE MADE SENSE TO EVEN HAVE MAYBE LIKE A SPECIAL MEETING THAT, UH, OR DO IT IN, YOU KNOW, IN TWO WEEKS IN THIS WAY, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER COMMENTS, IT WOULD GIVE THEM A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO REACH OUT TO THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY LIKE, I WOULD RECOMMEND HEARING FROM, UM, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THE APPLICANTS, UH, WILL BE PRESENT FOR THE PUBLIC COMMENT TOMORROW.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO HEAR FROM THEM ON THE RAMIFICATIONS FOR, UM, HOLDING THE DECISION.
UM, 'CAUSE THEN THAT DELAYS THE PLANNING BOARD DECISION.
AND WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS PUT UP A BUBBLE, UM, SO THAT THEY CAN USE IT, UM, THIS FALL.
SO BE THE PLANNING BOARD BOARD'S DECISION WILL BE, WE'RE, WE'RE GOOD ON THAT.
[00:15:01]
CONSIDERING, WHAT DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL ABOUT HOLDING OFF FOR A WEEK? DON'T REMEMBER NEXT WEEK, GROCERY NEXT.IT'S TWO WEEKS, RIGHT? KI I MEAN, YUM KIPPUR, I MEAN, IF WE PUT IT OFF TILL THE, UH, YOU KNOW, TWO WEEKS, THEN NOBODY COULD SAY, YOU KNOW, WE WERE RUSHING IN AND, AND IT GIVE, YOU KNOW, IT, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD GIVE, UH, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORS WHO MAY HAVE CONCERNS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHAT WITH GARRETT OR, YOU KNOW, BOARD MEMBERS.
I MEAN, I, I, I DON'T SEE ANY HARM REALLY IN IT UNLESS IT, YOU KNOW, IT HOLDS UP THE, BUT I WOULDN'T WANNA RUSH IT IF IT'S, IF THERE IF IT'S PROBLEMATIC EITHER.
SO, UM, I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
WHAT OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THINK, I THINK GIVING PEOPLE FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO UPON IS NO IS A GOOD THING.
ANYONE ELSE I DO HAVE, HAVE THE, THE RIGHT TO HOLD ANYTHING OVER.
SO IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH SOMETHING, YOU CAN, YOU CAN HOLD IT OVER.
SO WHY DON'T WE JUST HOLD IT OVER AND THEN WE'LL SAY THAT THERE'LL BE A DECISION AT THE NEXT MEETING AND WE YOU COULD TELL THE APPLICANT THAT WE'RE HOLDING IT OVER.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING TO DO? I, I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT.
AND YOU KNOW, I THINK IT, IT HAS VALIDITY AND I UNDERSTAND GARRETT'S POINT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN IN, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE.
UM, HAS THIS PERSON RAISED THESE COMMENTS ANY POINT DURING THE ZONING BOARD PLANNING BOARD OR TOWN BOARD MEETING, GARY? YEAH.
UM, THEY APPEARED AT EACH ZONING BOARD MEETING AND, UH, MADE THE SAME POINTS ABOUT CONCERN, UH, FOR FLOODING.
AND, UM, THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN CONSISTENT THAT, UH, THE APPLICANT IS INSTALLING STORMWATER PROVISIONS WHERE NONE CURRENTLY EXIST.
UM, AND THAT THE FLOODING THAT OCCURS IN CONNECTION WITH A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENTS, UM, IS THE TYPE OF FLOODING THAT IS HIGHLY, YOU KNOW, DISASTROUS AND, AND HORRIBLE AND UNFORTUNATE.
UM, BUT THAT THERE'S, WE JUST CANNOT FIND A CONNECTION TO THIS PROPOSAL.
AND THAT FLOODING, UH, THAT FLOODING IS SUBJECT OF, YOU KNOW, 1100 ACRES OF UPSTREAM AREAS.
UM, AND YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT IS, UH, PRETTY MUCH DESIGNED, UM, ITS PROPOSAL TO ACCOMMODATE STORMWATER CONCERNS AS BEST AS IT CAN.
SO IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION, IS THERE A REASON TO HOLD IT OVER FOR TWO WEEKS, GARY? I DO NOT SEE, NO, NO.
I MEAN, HE'S THE PROFESSIONAL.
HE'S THE YEAH, I HAVE TO DEFER TO HIM.
I GAVE YOU THE NON PRETTY LOOKING ONE.
THIS IS THE PRETTY WELL I GO WITH GARY IS GOTTA GO WITH GARY.
HE'S THE ONE THAT'S INTIMATE INVOLVED WITH IT.
UM, I'VE HAD, UH, A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS, UH, IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AND CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS COME TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE REGARDING THE DECISION HERE ON THE APPLICATION BY LOOKS NICER, THE DECISION BY THE, UH, SCAR GOLF CLUB, WHICH, UH, LOCATED ONE 12 WAY.
AND THEY'RE INQUIRING US WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER TOMORROW BEFORE DECISIONS MADE.
SO I AGREED TO BRING THIS UP AT THE WORK SESSION.
UM, THEY ARE WATCHING, UM, THERE'S PUBLIC COMMENT THEY ARE WATCHING THIS EVENING AND, UM, THEY ASKED ME TO RAISE THIS QUESTION THIS EVENING.
SO WHAT WILL BE THE PROCEDURE REGARDING THIS MATTER? THE PUBLIC HEARING HAS BEEN CLOSED, BUT THEY'RE FREE TO COMMENT DURING THE OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION.
AND WE ARE VERY WELL AWARE THAT THERE'S A FLOODING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.
WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS, UH, GOING TO HAVE A, OF AN IMPACT ON IT, YOU KNOW, IS, IS A MATTER FOR DISCUSSION.
UM, BUT, UH, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FLOODING THERE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE TOWN.
WE'RE, WE'RE ADDRESSING IT AS BEST WE CAN.
SOME OF THESE, UH, UM, FLOODING ISSUES ARE HISTORICAL AND, UH, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, FOR EXAMPLE ON EAST DALE AVENUE, UH, PIPES ARE UNDERNEATH THE BUILDINGS, YOU KNOW, WHO WOULD EVER DESIGN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT WE HAVE TO, UH, DEAL WITH IT.
AND, UH, SO AT THE COMMISSIONER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERVATION IS,
[00:20:01]
UH, SUGGESTING IS THAT WE ADD A LINE INTO IT TO, UM, ADDRESS WHATEVER IMPACT THIS MIGHT HAVE ON THAT FLOODING.AND AGAIN, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NET THAT, UH, HAD SUCH SIGNIFICANT OPPOSITION TO IT.
UH, THIS IS, THIS IS THE BUBBLE.
WE HAVE QUITE A FEW ADDING STREET SIGN, UH, STOP SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.
UH, PO O TWO, UH, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DISPOSING OF UNSERVICEABLE EQUIPMENT.
UH, IT'S, IT'S STANDARD LANGUAGE FOR US ON SOMETHING THAT MAY HAVE ANY KIND OF STORAGE, UH, IN IT THAT THE, UM, THE STORAGE BE REMOVED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE M I S DIRECTOR AND THAT THE EQUIPMENT BE DISPOSED OF IN A MANNER THAT IS, UH, APPROVED BY THE COMMISSIONER OF D P W, SO THAT, THAT LANGUAGE HAS BIT ADDED.
WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PUBLIC HEARINGS COMING UP TO THE 12TH, AT LEAST THREE THAT ARE ON THIS AGENDA.
SO WE MIGHT, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER PUBLIC HEARINGS, NOT PUT THEM ON OCTOBER 12TH, WHICH MIGHT BE A REASON FOR NOT EXTENDING WELL, WE WOULDN'T BE EXTENDING PUBLIC HEARING 'CAUSE WE CAN'T EXTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING.
WE HAVE QUITE A FEW, UH, TRICK OR TREATERS,
AND IT'S REALLY GREAT, UH, THE WAY DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS ARE DOING THE TRICK OR TREATING.
SO THEY MAKE IT AN ORGANIZED EVENT SO THAT THE CHILDREN WILL BE SAFE.
THEY'LL STILL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TRICK OR TREATING.
UH, WE USED TO PUT ON THE AGENDA SINCE 2020 IN A, UH, PANDEMIC WE SAFE WAY.
UH, THAT'S NOT ON THESE, THESE AGENDAS, UH, BUT THE WAY THEY, THESE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ORGANIZING IT.
IT'S, IT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO THE CHILDREN AND TO THE PARENTS TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF EASE, UM, BECAUSE WE CLOSE OFF THE STREETS AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, UH, CARS GOING BY.
AND WHEN I LIVED IN MANHATTAN ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DID ON WEST 68TH STREET AND IT WAS WONDERFUL.
THE KIDS HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME.
AND IF ANYONE ELSE, ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IS INTERESTING, UH, INTERESTED IN DOING THIS, THERE'S STILL TIME.
UH, BUT IT WOULD BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL TO US IF YOU COULD GET YOUR REQUEST INTO THE CLERK'S OFFICE, UM, THE FRIDAY BEFORE OCTOBER 12TH, SO THAT IT COULD BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA AND THEN WE COULD PASS IT IN TIME FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO GO OUT AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS SAFE AND PUT UP THE BARRICADES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IF YOU COULD, IF YOU COULD HELP US OUT BY GETTING IN ANY OTHER REQUESTS EARLY, UM, YOU KNOW, BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK ACTUALLY, UH, THAT WOULD BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL.
DID I SELL SAFE TRICK OR TREATING? YOU SURE DID.
IS THAT IT? OR, WE HAVE A GREAT TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE, UM, I THINK THAT'S IT.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING? I'M NOT SURE.
ANYBODY ELSE? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? SO WE HAVE, UH, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER WE NEEDED TO PUT THE, UM, RESOLUTION FOR THE, IN SUPPORT OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IT'S JUST SUPPORT OF, IT'S NOT, YOU DON'T NEED A PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A LOCAL LAW.
UM, IF WE COULD DISCUSS THAT THE, UM, WE HAVEN'T PUT A RESOLUTIONS ON THE AGENDA AFTER IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED.
[00:25:01]
UH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU, IF YOU NEED US TO ADOPT IT TOMORROW NIGHT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE COULD TALK ABOUT THAT.BUT IF WE COULD DO THE PRESENTATION TOMORROW NIGHT, PUT IT OUT ON OUR WEBSITE ANNOUNCING THAT WE ARE, WE ARE GOING TO VOTE ON IT THE FOLLOWING, WE GET TWO HITS OF THE PUBLIC.
UM, AND IT WOULDN'T, IT WOULDN'T BE, UH, VIOLATIVE OF US NOT PUTTING A NEW RESOLUTION ON AS, AS WORTHY AS IT IS.
NO GOOD DEEDED GOES UNPUNISHED.
AND, UM, SO, UH, BUT WE COULD TALK ABOUT THAT
WELL, WHAT WE COULD DO IS IF EVERYBODY'S SUPPORTING IT, WE COULD INDICATE THAT WE HAVE A PROPOSED RESOLUTION THAT'S BEING INTRODUCED BY EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD THAT'S GONNA BE VOTED ON AT THE NEXT MEETING.
WHICH IS BASICALLY WHAT YOU, WHAT FRANCIS IS SAYING, WHICH IS, WHICH IS FINE, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE IT'S, IT'S VERY TIME LIMITED, BUT IT'S MORE REALLY INFORMING THE PUBLIC OF THIS THAN, THAN THE ADOPTING THE RESOLUTION PER SE.
SO WE'RE DOING, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THE PRESENTATION YES.
UH, THEN WE'RE GONNA PUT IT OUT ON OUR WEBSITE, RIGHT.
SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY SEE, READ THE WEBSITE, UH, THE POWERPOINT THAT THEY WANTED THEMSELVES.
DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S ANY VIDEOS ABOUT IT AT ALL? UM, THAT WE COULD POST ON THE WEBSITE THERE? MAYBE THERE'S A LOT OF, THERE'S A LOT OF MATERIAL REFERENCED IN AND THEN THEY COULD ALMOST BUILD THE HYPE FOR THE FOLLOWING MEETING WHEN WE DO ACTUALLY ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
AND REALLY, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I HAD BEEN TAKING BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS LATE TO BEGIN.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T NEED A, A PUBLIC HEARING.
GOING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION NOW.
YOU WANNA MAKE A MOTION? I MAKE A MOTION TO GO ON EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.
FOUR SECOND PURPOSES OF, UM, LEGAL ADVICE AND, UM, DISCUSSING PERSONNEL MATTERS.
AND WE WON'T BE BACK UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT.
