          I GUESS. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          OKAY.

          UM, SORRY, BECAUSE I'M JUST SEEING THIS OUT. 
          I HAD MENTIONED THAT WE HAVE TO REAPPOINT, UM, LYNN GOODMAN, H-H-R-A-C. 
          YEAH. 
          JOAN IS CHECKING IF SHE'S HAD THE TRAINING.

          AND THEN WE ALSO NEED TO, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT, I NEED YOU TO, CAN YOU CHECK YOUR RECORDS FOR MARGARET GOLD? JOAN IS LOOKING INTO THAT TOO. 
          JOAN IS LOOKING AT THAT TOO. 
          I DID TALK TO HER TOO, BUT SHE WASN'T SURE ABOUT THE TRAINING, SO, OKAY. 
          YOU MET WITH MARGARET GOLDBERG, RIGHT? YEAH, I REMEMBER. 
          YEP. 
          BUT IT WAS JUST ABOUT TRAINING. 
          WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE TRAINING SO WE CAN APPOINT HER. 
          UM, YOU HAVE THE LAST NAME, RIGHT? YES. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          SO WE NEED, JUST MAKE SURE SHE'S ASKING ME ABOUT THAT. 
          SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I FOLLOW UP ON THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, UH, HOW LONG IS THIS SNOW ANGEL AND LANDSCAPE ANGEL PRESENTATION? DEFINITELY UNDER TWO HOURS. 
          NO, THAT'S 10 MINUTES WE HAVE, SO, OKAY, SO, ALRIGHT. 
          UM, WE NEED A LESS THAN 10 MINUTES. 
          GARY'S GONNA GIVE YOU KIMBERLY. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU'RE NOT GONNA ASK IF EACH ONE WANTS TO SAY ANYTHING. 
          SO WHAT ARE THEY GIVING UP? SO WHAT'S THE, SO WHAT DO WE US TO RUN A SHOW? WHAT THIS GONNA BASICALLY THEY'VE BEEN DOING VOLUNTEER WORK. 
          YOU KNOW, MANY OF THEM PROBABLY WON'T EVEN SHOW UP, BUT BASICALLY THEY'VE BEEN DOING VOLUNTEER WORK FOR THE WINTER. 
          WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT MANY STORMS. SO WE WILL JUST GIVE THEM CERTIFICATES AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN SAY, SO THE CERTIFICATES ARE JUST COMING FROM YOU. 
          UH, WHATEVER CHRISTINE? NO, NO, I JUST MAKE SURE. 
          I'M NOT SURE I, OKAY. 
          I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE, UH, I DIDN'T LOOK AT HER THE FINAL CERTIFICATES, SO I COULD TELL HER. 
          USUALLY IT'S FROM EVERYBODY'S OF NAMES THAT WE HAVE TO SIGN. 
          THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF NAMES HERE, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE. 
          OKAY, SO THEN WE'LL, WE COULD SIGN IT RIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING IF SHE, I DIDN'T SEE ANY ON THE, THAT SHE DID TODAY. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE A TOMORROW. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT WE'RE JUST DOING A GROUP PRESENTATION AND WE'RE NOT DOING LIKE INDIVIDUALS REMARKS AND ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT IF THEY WANNA SAY, I LIKE HELPING SENIOR CITIZENS, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD, IT WILL BE A ONE SENTENCING. 
          SO EACH, SO EACH, EACH OF THE 15? NO, YOU GOT MORE THAN 15. 
          YOU 
          [00:05:01]
GOT ABOUT 20 PEOPLE. 
          SO THERE WON'T BE, WE WON'T HAVE, IT WILL DEFINITELY BE UNDER 10 MINUTES. 
          THE WHOLE THING. 
          I, I THINK WE DON'T CALL THEM UP INDIVIDUALLY OTHER THAN TO GIVE THEM THE CERTIFICATE AND THEN TO SAY SOMETHING NICE AND SOMEONE CAN SAY SOMETHING ON BEHALF OF THEM. 
          OTHERWISE, IT'S GONNA BE VERY LENGTHY. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, OKAY. 
          YES, YOU AGREE? I TOTALLY AGREE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT'S THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO, BUT HEARTFELT IT'LL BE A HEARTFELT THING. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, PREVIOUSLY, PREVIOUSLY IN THE MINUTES YOU HAD STATED THAT, UM, PRESENTATION SHOULD NOT BE LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          CORRECT. 
          WE STILL GET TRYING TO GET THE ACTUAL WORDING OF TB THREE AND WE THINK WE'LL HAVE IT. 
          CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? SHOULDN'T THE LEGISLATION, UH, NOT ONLY APPLY TO THE CHAPTER AMENDMENT, BUT ALSO TO THE ORIGINAL LEGISLATION, WHICH EXEMPTED, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, EDGEMONT, YOU KNOW, FROM, UH, THE, THE ORIGINAL LEGISLATION THAT PASSED LAST YEAR WAS ALSO BID BECAUSE BASICALLY EDGEMONT IS EXCLUDED FROM HAVING BEING TREATED LIKE THE REST OF THE STATE. 
          UM, THAT THAT ONLY CAME INTO EFFECT WITH THE CHAPTER AMENDMENT. 
          NO, NO. 
          THE, THERE'S A PARAGRAPH THAT IS OPEN-ENDED. 
          AND THE INTENT, ACCORDING TO INITIALLY, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, THE MAJORITY LEADER SAID WAS SPECIFIC TO THE, UM, THE ONE COLLECTION THAT WAS IN PROCESS AND THAT SHE COULDN'T INTERRUPT IT. 
          AM I, DO I HAVE THAT RIGHT? DOES ANYONE RECALL THAT? AND THAT, AND THEN IT DID NOT HAVE A, IT IT DIDN'T SPECIFY THAT IT WAS OPEN AND RIGHT. 
          BUT LEGISLATION, IT APPEARS OPEN-ENDED. 
          SO THAT'S HOW THE CHAPTER AMENDMENTS BECAME NECESSARY. 
          BUT THIS RIGHT, BUT THIS LEGISLATION IS STILL BID BECAUSE IT BASICALLY MEANS THAT EDGEMONT IS GONNA BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY FOR AT LEAST ONE TRY THAN EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY IN NEW YORK STATE. 
          WELL, WE, IN, IN THE PREVIOUS HOME RULE REQUEST, WHICH WOULD PASSED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE BOARD ON FEBRUARY 28TH, YOU PUT THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE THAT YOU WANTED REMOVED AND THAT INCLUDE ALL, THAT INCLUDED ALL OF THE LANGUAGE SPECIFIC TO EDGEMONT. 
          SO I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE INTENT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE TO BE PROPOSED, UH, BEFORE THIS SESSION IS OVER. 
          SO AS COUNSEL MEMBER, SHE, AND SAID, WE DO NEED TO WORK OUT THE EXACT WORDING, BUT THAT IS THE INTENT TO TAKE OUT ALL OF THE LANGUAGE THAT EXEMPTS EDGEMONT FROM ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL THE OTHER AREAS WITHIN NEW YORK STATE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO IT WOULD BE ANY, IF THEY FILE A PETITION TOMORROW, THEN BASICALLY THEY WOULD BE TREATED JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY IN THE STATE IF THE LEGISLATION WOULD GO THROUGH. 
          SO WE NEED TO GO BACK IF IT'S PASSED, THOUGH, IF IT'S PASSED, IT'S PASSED. 
          IF, IF, IF, IF IT PASSED, WE WANNA MAKE SURE, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GIVE, I DON'T WANNA GIVE ANYONE IMPRESSION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE PUT THAT OUT THERE. 
          IT'S AUTOMATIC. 
          NO, IT HAS TO PASS THE LEGISLATION. 
          RIGHT NOW THERE'S ONLY A PROPOSED BILL IN THE ASSEMBLY, BUT NOT A PROPOSED BILL IN THE SENATE. 
          SO IT WOULD HAVE TO PASS BOTH HOUSES AND THEN BE SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          RIGHT. 
          AND ONLY HAS A WEEK LEFT IN THE SESSION. 
          RIGHT. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT DOESN'T HAVE A SENATE SPONSOR. 
          RIGHT. 
          THE THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS THAT FAR AS WE KNOW, IF WE BASICALLY JUST ASK FOR THE 16 YEAR EXEMPTION TO BE APPROVED, THEY MAY APPROVE THAT, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT BASICALLY THE TOWN BOARD WANTS. 
          WE WANT EVERY NO SEPARATE TREATMENT THAT, SO I, I'M WORRIED THAT THEY'LL JUST DO THE 16 YEARS. 
          BUT THE, BUT THE 16 YEARS NE THE WHOLE REASON THAT CAME ABOUT WAS BECAUSE THAT PARAGRAPH WAS OPEN-ENDED, SO THEY PUT A CAP ON IT. 
          IT'S JUST, SO THAT'S AN UNREASONABLE CAP AND WE WANT TO REMOVE THAT ALTOGETHER. 
          ONCE THAT'S DONE, IT, IT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS SIGNED. 
          MM-HMM. 
           THAT'S THE BILL THAT WAS SIGNED. 
          THE OTHER WAS NOT, WELL MAYBE IT WAS, BUT IT WAS SIGNED THIS PRECLUDE, THIS PRECLUDES THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT WAS SIGNED SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WAS AN AMENDMENT. 
          SO ONCE THE AMENDMENT WAS SIGNED, THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE. 
          THE OTHER DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T FALL BACK, I DON'T THINK. 
          BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE GOVERNOR SIGNED, I KNOW THE GOVERNOR SIGNED IT IN DECEMBER, THE FIRST ONE. 
          THEN THE CHAPTER AMENDMENT WAS APPROVED IN JANUARY AND THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THAT ALSO. 
          SO YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, BOTH LAWS ARE PRETTY BID FOR THE TOWN. 
          WE, AGAIN, WE ASKED FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE EDGEMONT LANGUAGE TO BE REMOVED. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          FROM THE CURRENT ONE. 
          THAT'S PERFECT. 
          OKAY. 
          NOT ONLY THE 16 YEARS. 
          SO THAT ENTIRE COVER, EVERYTHING ENTIRE, THAT COVERS EVERYTHING. 
          'CAUSE IT RIGHT. 
          [00:10:01]
SUPERSEDED THE OTHER. 
          OKAY. 
          AND COULD YOU BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, BEFORE TOMORROW, COULD YOU JUST CHECK THE, THE HOME RULE MESSAGE, THE LEGISLATION THAT WE'RE, UM, SUPPORTING IN ALBANY, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOES EXCLUDE ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING, THAT'S WHY, THAT'S WHY WE JUST MENTIONED IT IS THAT'S WHY WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE ACTUAL WORDING AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, SECTION 17 OF CHAPTER SIX, WE WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S BEING REMOVED. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN TRYING, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, UM, WE 70 WOMEN SHIMS S'S OFFICE TODAY TO TRY AND GET THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE SECTION NUMBER AND THE CHAPTER NUMBER SO THAT WE CAN BE VERY CLEAR IN WHAT WE'RE PASSING. 
          AND AS I WAS MENTIONING IS WE'RE IN A DILEMMA. 
          WE CAN'T MOVE IT OVER BECAUSE THEN THE LEGISLATORS WILL GO HOME FOR THE, THE SESSION. 
          UH, BUT WE CAN'T VOTE ON IT UNLESS WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON. 
          SO THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT. 
          AND I BELIEVE PRETTY SOON I'LL HAVE AN EMAIL FROM BACK FROM HER STAFF WITH THE ACTUAL WORDING THAT THEY WANT REMOVED. 
          OKAY. 
          AND FROM LAST YEAR, THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT TO THE VILLAGE LAW, THEN THERE WAS A CHAPTER AMENDMENT TO THAT AMENDMENT SO THAT IF WE REPEAL, THERE'S ONLY ONE, ONE SECTION OF, WELL ACTUALLY TWO SECTIONS OF VILLAGE LAW. 
          BUT ONCE WE REPEAL, SHOULD WE GET THAT REPEALED? WE'RE AMENDING THE AMENDMENT TO THE PRIOR LEGISLATION. 
          SO IT TAKES CARE OF BOTH. 
          IT SUPERSEDES. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO YOU'RE GONNA QUIZ ME, RIGHT? ? YES. 
          SO, NO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK IT THROUGH ME OR ANYTHING. 
          NO, NO. 
          I JUST REMEMBER SOMETHING I HAD TO TELL YOU. 
          IT JUST CAN'T, IT JUST HIT ME. 
          SO I NEED, WE NEED TO NEED TALK. 
          WRITE IT DOWN. 
          WRITE DOWN. 
          I, SO PH ONE HAS BEEN, UH, SIGNIFICANTLY REWRITTEN. 
          I BELIEVE THE WAY IT READS NOW IS WHAT WE INTEND WHICH ONE PH ONE REGARDING THE, UH, THE PRIDE MONEY. 
          YES. 
          YES. 
          SO I BELIEVE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE INTENDED TO, FOR IT TO SAY. 
          RIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY. 
          NO ONE HAS ANYTHING. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, NOW WE'RE READY FOR THE COMMISSIONER CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          I JUST, I JUST WANT MENTION JUST BEFORE WE START, UH, YESTERDAY RICH GARRETT AND I, I MET WITH THE CONTROLLER. 
          UM, AND WHAT WE WERE THINKING IS, UM, UM, WE WANT TO BEGINNING NEXT YEAR, UM, HAVE THE CAPITAL BUDGET DONE THE SAME TIME AS THE OPERATING BUDGET. 
          SO, UM, WE'RE GONNA BASICALLY BE SPLITTING UP SOME OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET REQUESTS. 
          SO THERE'LL BE A CAPITAL BUDGET THAT'S GONNA BE PROPOSED FOR 2024. 
          BUT NOT EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS WILL BE IN THAT BUDGET. 
          BUT THEN IN OCTOBER, UM, MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU KNOW, ARE NOT, UM, BEING INCLUDED IN THE 2024 BUDGET WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE 25, UH, UNIT BUDGET. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE COMMITTED THAT THERE WILL BE A CAPITAL BUDGET SUBMITTED TO THE TOWN BOARD, UM, BY OCTOBER 31ST, THE SAME DAY THAT WE DO THE, UM, THE PROPOSED BUDGET. 
          SO THERE'S GONNA BE TWO SEPARATE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          WAS THAT PRETTY TO TRANSLATE? MAYBE OUR NEW COMP CONTROLLER COULD EXPLAIN THE RATIONALE WHY THIS IS HELPFUL. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, BEST PRACTICE WOULD BE THAT THE CAPITAL BUDGET WOULD BE, UM, APPROVED DURING THE TIME OF THE OPERATING BUDGET. 
          SO I HONESTLY THOUGHT WE WERE WORKING ON 25. 
          WE'RE WORKING ON 24. 
          SO WHEN I LEARNED THAT, I SAID, WELL, WE NEED TO CATCH UP AND DO 20, YOU KNOW, 25 WITH THE 25 OPERATING INSTEAD OF 24 IN THE CURRENT YEAR. 
          SO IN ORDER TO DO THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE WILL SEPARATE SOME OF THE CAPITAL ITEMS. I'M GONNA PREPARE A SCHEDULE I, UH, HOPEFULLY BY NEXT TUESDAY. 
          AND THEN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THE ITEMS FOR 24 AND THE ITEMS FOR 25. 
          SO IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST FOR THIS YEAR TO NO ONGOING RECONCILE OR ONGOING? YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND AGAIN, WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, THE DEPARTMENTS, THEY CAN'T IMPLEMENT EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED. 
          SO 
          [00:15:01]
THIS WAY IT'S MORE MANAGEABLE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET NOW AND ACTUALLY DOESN'T GET IMPLEMENTED FOR A COUPLE YEARS. 
          I, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOOD PRACTICE EITHER. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, SO I JUST, JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, UM, I'D JUST LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD, ESPECIALLY YOU RICH WITH EVERYTHING THAT ALL THE PROJECTS AND STUFF YOU GOT GOING ON, IS THAT GONNA PUT A HINDRANCE ON YOU GETTING THE WORK DONE? SO, EXCUSE ME, IN REFERENCE TO DPW, THE THINGS THAT WE PUT OFF, AND I DIDN'T HAND THAT OUT YET, BUT I DO HAVE IT AND I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          THE ITEMS WE PUT OFF TO THE 25 ARE ITEMS LIKE CURBING, PAVING. 
          UM, YOU WANNA GET THAT ALL TIME? THANK YOU. 
          UM, THANKS. 
          THINGS WE HAVE MONEY FOR ALREADY THIS YEAR 'CAUSE IT WAS SO LATE IN THE GAME. 
          MM-HMM. 
           THAT THE MONEY WE GOT THIS YEAR WILL BE USED FOR PAVING, CURBING DRAINAGE THIS SEASON WHEN, UH, THE CONTROLLER APPROVES THIS AND SUBMITS THE SECOND BUDGET, THE THINGS THAT WEREN'T INCLUDED, AGAIN, THOSE FOR NEXT YEAR WILL BE IN THAT ONE. 
          IT MAKES SENSE. 
          NO, NO, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SAYING IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 
          I JUST, MY CONCERN IS MAKING SURE WE GET THE WORK DONE AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE PUT FORWARD, I MEAN WE NOW WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE HAVING A SIX MONTHS DELAY HERE. 
          SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE, IS THAT GOING TO PUT A HINDRANCE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO GET DONE? I THINK IT PUT A HINDRANCE ON US LAST YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          LAST YEAR WE ALSO DIDN'T HAVE THE STAFF. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE KIND OF PLAYING CATCH UP. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WILL YOU BE SUPPLEMENTING YOUR CAPITAL BUDGET BECAUSE FOR, MAYBE NOT YOU, BUT POLICE, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE HAVE THIS ROLLOVER OF REPLACING VEHICLES AND WELL, YOU DO THE SAME THING. 
          YOU ANTICIPATED THAT THIS BE FROM NOW UNTIL NEXT, NEXT MAY OR WHEN YOU DID YOUR BUDGET BASICALLY. 
          NOW WHATEVER WE DO IN JANUARY WILL BE FOR THE ENTIRE 2025, CORRECT? YES. 
          SO YOU'LL BE SUPPLEMENTING WHAT YOU'RE ASKING HERE FOR THINGS THAT GET YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE YEAR OF 2025 AS OPPOSED TO SIX MONTHS. 
          WE WILL. 
          AND THAT WAS JUST WHAT I PULLED OUT OF THIS, KNOWING THAT THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER ROUND IN OCTOBER. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PREPARE FOR THAT. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DIG INTO THE DETAILS. 
          OKAY. 
          IS THERE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SOME ITEMS, FOR INSTANCE, THAT IS, THAT ARE IN THE LATER BUDGET, THAT REALLY ARE LONG LEAD AND SHOULD BE ORDERED UP FRONT, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE SOME KIND AMOUNT OF MONIES UP? WE LEFT THAT IN THIS FOR THAT EXACT REASON. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE LONG LEAD THINGS WILL BE IN THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WE'LL GO THROUGH IT AS WE GO THROUGH THE OUTLINE ON IT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SOUNDS GREAT. 
          GOOD. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. 
          IT JUST NEVER HAPPENED. 
          . 
          IT'S HAPPENING NOW. 
          MOVE FORWARD. 
          WE'LL SEE NOW, NOW WE GOT NO PRESSURE, KIMBERLY. 
          NO PRESSURE. 
          PRESSURE AT ALL. 
          I'M EXCITED. 
          THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE A NEWBIE COMMISSIONER. 
          UM, JACKSON, WHAT YOU GOT? GOOD EVENING ALL. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIME. 
          UH, WE COME FORTH TO YOU AFTER MUCH CONVERSATION WITH, UH, DPW AND RICH FA, UM, ABOUT WHAT THINGS TO BE DONE WITH THE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT ARE COMMUNITY CENTER ALONE, BUT CONNECTED TO MANY OTHER DEPARTMENTS. 
          SO WE'LL BE BRINGING FIVE THINGS IN FRONT OF YOU JUST TO HEAD THEM UP. 
          UH, OUR PARKING LOT, OUR ELEVATOR, HVAC WORK, ROOF REPAIR AND SECURITY. 
          UM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT, UH, HOW WE PLAN ON DOING IT AND WHEN. 
          OH, I SEE. 
          I CAN TELL YOU, UM, SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE THOSE THINGS THAT ARE, AS WE SAY, UM, TICKING  BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING AT THE MOMENT, BUT THEY ARE WAY PAST DUE. 
          UH, A LOT OF THE THING IN A 53-YEAR-OLD BUILDING. 
          A LOT OF THOSE THINGS ARE, UH, 30 YEARS OR MORE OLD. 
          AND IT HAS BEEN ON THE PLAN FOR A WHILE. 
          BUT, UH, WITH RICH'S, UM, INPUT AND EXPERTISE, HE HAS PICKED UP THE PACE ON GETTING IT DONE. 
          AND I MUST TELL YOU, THE CENTER IS LOOKING BETTER AND OPERATING BETTER THAN IT PROBABLY EVER HAS AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE IS CONCERNED. 
          AND WE JUST WANT TO KEEP THAT GOING FORWARD. 
          SO WITH THE, UH, PROPER REAL INFORMATION AND TIMELINE, I'M GOING TO GIVE IT OVER TO RICH AT THIS TIME. 
          SO THE FIRST ITEM YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU IS, UH, THE T-D-Y-C-C PARKING LOT. 
          IF YOU REMEMBER WINDOM GORDON WAS, UH, ABLE TO GET A COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT LAST YEAR OR TWO YEARS AGO. 
          FIRST PART WAS THE LOWEST BRONZE, WHICH IS STARTED TODAY, I BELIEVE THE PLAYGROUND. 
          SECOND PART IS THE PARKING LOT. 
          UM, AS EVERYBODY HERE HAS BEEN TO THE CENTER, UM, YOU KNOW THAT THE PARKING LOT IS QUITE DATED. 
          IT'S NOT A DA COMPLIANT. 
          I THINK EVERYBODY REALIZES THAT THE LIGHTING IS ANTIQUATED, EVEN THE LANDSCAPING. 
          BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THE DRAINAGE ASPECT OF THE PARKING LOT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO THE CENTER HAS TAKEN HITS DURING SOME OF THE HEAVY STORMS. MM-HMM. 
          [00:20:01]
. 
          WE HAVE DONE, UH, SOME WORK ON THE STATE RIGHT OF WAY TO HELP THE FLOODING ON THE MANHATTAN BROOK. 
          THAT WAS DONE TWO YEARS AGO. 
          WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY FLOODING SINCE, BUT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE EVENTS THAT WE GET, MM-HMM. 
          UH, STORM WATER'S GONNA BE CRITICAL HERE. 
          WHEN I SAY STORMWATER, THERE'S GONNA HAVE TO BE SYSTEMS UNDER THE PARKING LOT THAT RETAIN SOME OF THE WATER. 
          SO IT DOESN'T GO DIRECTLY INTO THE BUILDING. 
          THERE BE STORAGE, THERE'LL BE INLETS. 
          UM, I'M QUITE CERTAIN THERE WILL BE DAMNING OF THE DOORS SO THAT WHEN THERE IS A VENT, THINGS CAN BE LIFTED TO BLOCK ANYTHING FROM GETTING INTO THE BUILDING. 
          MM-HMM. 
           THIS WE DID PUT DOWN HERE, UH, A DA AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT. 
          BUT THIS NUMBER IS STILL VERY, UH, I THINK IT'S HIGH. 
          IT WILL HAVE TO GET HOME DOWN. 
          UM, THAT'S GONNA TAKE A MINUTE. 
          THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER FOR THAT, THAT PARKING LOT. 
          AND AGAIN, ANYBODY'S BEEN THERE. 
          I KNOW DURHAM, ESPECIALLY WHEN I KNOW THEY HAD A BIG EVENT THIS WEEKEND THAT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. 
          IT'S A VI, MY OPINION, THE CENTER IS THE MOST HEAVILY USED BUILDING IN TOWN. 
          I THINK THEY OPEN AT FOUR 30 IN THE MORNING AND CLOSE AT 11. 
          AND ANYTIME YOU GO IN THERE, IT'S BUSY. 
          SO THIS LOT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. 
          AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT 'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF SENIORS THAT GO IN THERE. 
          UH, AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE NEW HOUSING COMPLEX NEXT DOOR THAT HAS AN ATTACHMENT. 
          SO WE GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT ALL WORKS AND WORKS WELL, WHICH IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. 
          IS THERE ANY CHANCE TO, I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS, UM, CREATING ADDITIONAL PARKING BECAUSE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM AT THE CENTER IS THE LACK OF PARKING. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO RE REDESIGN IT TO POSSIBLY GET SOME SPOTS, BUT THERE IS NO EXTRA SPACE IN THE AREA. 
          WE ARE USING ALL OF THE SPACE AT THIS TIME. 
          SO A REDESIGN MIGHT GET US FIVE SPOTS OR SO, WHICH WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          THEY ALREADY SPENT ANYWAY. 
          AND THE MORE YOU PAY, THE MORE OF A FLOODING PROBLEM THERE IS. 
          UM, SO HOW MUCH IS THE CDBG GRANT AMOUNT THAT'S APPLIED TO THIS? I THINK IT WAS UPWARDS OF TWO OR $300,000. 
          I'D HAVE TO SIT DOWN WITH ONES A MONTH. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          WHY WAS, UH, THE COMMUNITY CENTER NOT PART OF THE, UH, SOLAR PROJECT TO TAKE A LOOK? OR, OR WAS IT, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A NICE FLAT BUILDING. 
          WHICH ONE? WHICH SOLAR PROJECT YOU SPEAK? THE ONE WE'RE DOING, BASICALLY WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA PUT SOLAR HERE, WE'RE GONNA PUT SOLAR AT ANTHONY VETERAN PARK. 
          UH, IT'LL LIKELY PAY FOR THE COST OF RESURFACING ANTHONY VETERAN PARK. 
          SO I'VE BEEN ASKING ABOUT TRYING TO GET CONNECTED TO THE ONE THAT I KNEW WAS HAPPENING AT ON, UH, ANTHONY VETERANS PARK, BECAUSE THE ONE WE HAVE IS OUTDATED. 
          IT WAS FIRST GENERATION. 
          IT'S NOT DOING WHAT IT WAS OR USED TO DO ESTATE. 
          MAYBE GARY COULD SPEAK TO THAT. 
          GARY. 
          YEAH. 
          GARY, YOU WANNA COME? YOU WANNA BRING A CHAIR AND CHAIR? DO YOU KNOW IF THEY EVALUATED? DON'T WE USE SOLAR FOR, UM, POOL? YEAH, WE HAVE IT ON TOP OF THE ROOF AT THE MOMENT, BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. 
          AS I'VE UNDERSTOOD FROM MANY DIFFERENT TECHNICIANS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THERE THE WAY IT EITHER USED TO OR THE WAY IT SHOULD. 
          AND DEFINITELY NOT THE WAY THE NEW ONES CAN. 
          YEAH, NO, I THINK THERE'S I OPPORTUNITY. 
          THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING WAS LIBRARY WAS PRECLUDED BECAUSE OF ROOF ISSUES AND UM, YOU KNOW, DITTO THAT, BUT HERE WE'RE GONNA ROOF FOR POLICE STATION, BUT ACCORDING TO THIS, WE'RE DOING THE ROOF, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          WE'RE GONNA FIX THE ROOF. 
          SO ONCE YOU DO THE ROOF, NOW IT'S A PERFECT TIME TO DO SOLAR. 
          IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY, I WOULD SAY WE CAN KEEP GOING WITH THE OTHER TWO SITES, BUT WE HAVE A GREAT POOL OF, UM, INTERESTED SOLAR INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDERS AND WE CAN, UM, WE CAN EITHER GO AGAIN WITH AN RFP OR SOLICIT, UM, DIRECT PROPOSALS TO ANYWHERE UPWARDS OF 10 FIRMS. AND THERE'S SOME NEW SOLAR GRANTS. 
          A FOOT AREN'T THERE? I THOUGHT I SAW SOMETHING. 
          THERE ARE FEDERAL AND STATE INCENTIVES FOR SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          INCENTIVES. 
          AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE PARKING, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THEY'RE DOING SOLAR NOW, CANOPIES OVER PARKING, EVEN PROTECTIVE VEHICLES. 
          UM, IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE HAVING THEM AT LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 
          ONE THING YOU GOTTA WATCH, THERE ARE THE BUSES AND THE TURNING RADIS BUSES. 
          THAT'S, AND I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I JOEL CASEY'S DEALING WITH DOWN AT THE PARK TOO. 
          AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE OLD SOLAR PROJECT? IT'S ABOUT 14 YEARS OLD NOW. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          THAT WAS AGAIN, ANOTHER WINSOME GORDON GRANT THAT SOLAR WAS TO HEAT THE POOL WATER. 
          SO IT'S NOT OH, SORRY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IT'S NOT DOING THE SAME TYPE OF THING THAT THE SOLAR ON THIS ROOF IS DOING. 
          IT WAS SPECIFICALLY TO HEAT THE POOL WATER. 
          RIGHT. 
          WELL, LET'S SEE HOW WE CAN EXPLORE THAT AND SEE HOW WE CAN EXPAND IT. 
          THEY GOT A BIG ROOF. 
          YEAH. 
          WHO HAS A BIG ROOF? THE CENTER. 
          THE CENTER HAS A BIG ROOF. 
          IT'S A BIG ROOF. 
          IT'S NICE. 
          YEAH. 
          NICE. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND IT'S FLAT. 
          AND WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO, AND I KNOW I'M GONNA USE THAT WORD THAT JOE, DON'T PUNCH ME THE CHANGE ORDER. 
          CHANGE ORDER 
          [00:25:01]
TO, TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE SPEC. 
          I KNOW WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN THE YEAH, THE RPS ALREADY BEEN. 
          WELL, SORRY, I'LL LOOK AT YOU. 
          SO IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO A POSSIBLE CHANGE ORDER? I MEAN, WE HAVEN'T DID THE WORK. 
          WE HAVEN'T STARTED TO WORK YET THOUGH. 
          IF WE DID AN RFP, I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD BASICALLY BE, UM, GIVING, UM, SOMEBODY WHO DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, THIS COMPANIES I MIGHT WANT TO BID THAT NEVER DID. 
          SO I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO ANOTHER REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. 
          YOU WOULD AGREE WITH THAT? WE, WE COULD DO A NEW RFP. 
          THERE WERE SIX, UH, FIRMS THAT RESPONDED TO THE FIRST RFP AND, UM, WE COULD DO ANOTHER RFP JUST FOR THIS LOCATION. 
          I THINK AT THE TIME WE ACTUALLY LAUNCHED THIS, WE HAVE TO DO ANOTHER R IT WAS THE ROOF. 
          WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          RIGHT. 
          YOU WERE ASKING IF WE THANK YOU JOY, CAN WE, IS IT POSSIBLE? CAN WE, IS IT POSSIBLE NOT TO DO ANOTHER R CAN WE, DO WE HAVE TO GO BACK? I MEAN, IT TAKES TIME. 
          IT TAKES TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          LET ME ASK A QUESTION. 
          COULD WE YES. 
          SHOULD WE ALSO INCLUDE, UH, THE OTHER BUILDINGS? THE LOWEST BRUS, UH, CENTER? BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT A TOWN, BUT IF WE COMBINE THEM, IT MAY BE THEN YEAH. 
          WE GET A BETTER PRICE. 
          THAT'S, WE SHOULD DO ALL THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ALL THE BUILDINGS ON MANHATTAN AVENUE THAT WE OWN. 
          BECAUSE IF THEY'RE GONNA PUT SOLAR ON ONE ROOF, THEY MIGHT AS WELL SOLAR. 
          WELL, LET'S NOT TURN A PROJECT SO BIG IT NEVER GETS DONE. 
          I CAN SAY DO OURSELVES, I'LL BID OURSELVES EACH ROOF IS NOT THE SAME THING. 
          THE POOL, THE POOL ROOF IS DIFFERENT. 
          CONSTRUCTED DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THAT BUILDING. 
          AND THE REST OF THAT BUILDING HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ROOF PROBLEMS. WE'VE BEEN PATCHING AND ALL, NOT ALL ROOFS ARE EQUAL. 
          NO, NOT AT ALL. 
          THAT'S THE TRUTH. 
          BUT WE SHOULD HAVE, I WAS GONNA SAY, I THINK THAT WHEN WE INITIALLY STARTED THE SOLAR PROCESS, IT WAS AT A TIME WHERE MAYBE THERE WASN'T DIRECTION THAT THE ROOF WAS IMMINENTLY GOING TO BE FIXED. 
          YES. 
          SO THAT WAS RULED OUT. 
          I SURE. 
          'CAUSE OTHERWISE ABSOLUTELY IT WOULD'VE BEEN FOLDED. 
          RIGHT. 
          MAKES SENSE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, YOU WANNA CONTINUE PARKING LOT. 
          PARKING LOT, UH, ELEVATOR. 
          UM, AND SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN IT  WHEN IT IS AND WAS WORKING. 
          UM, UH, OR WAS NOT IT, IT'S IT'S 33 YEARS OLD. 
          UH, WHEN IDA HIT, WE HAD SOME MAJOR PIECES THAT TOOK IT OUT. 
          WE WERE ABLE TO SALVAGE PIECES, CHIPS AND OTHER THINGS FROM OTHER ONES THAT DIED AND PUT SOMETHING BACK TOGETHER AS YOU KNOW, AND HAVE SEEN. 
          WE HAVE ELDERLY, UH, PEOPLE THAT ARE IN OUR BUILDING EVERY DAY THAT NEED TO GO UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR. 
          MM-HMM. 
           DURING IDA, WE WERE CARRYING SOME OF THEM UP THERE BEFORE GETTING IT TOGETHER. 
          WOW. 
          UH, IT IS A SITUATION THAT, UM, IT, IT'S A SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE IN THE PROGRAMMING THAT GOES ON THERE. 
          AND IT REALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN. 
          IT'S WORKING AT THE MOMENT. 
          I'M REALLY COMING TO YOU NOW TO GET THIS DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 
          BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO TURN INTO A SITUATION WHERE IT'S NOT WORKING AND THEN IT'S EMINENT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          WHAT IS THE TIMELINE ON DOING THE SURVEY DRAWINGS AND OBTAINING THE, THE, THE REASON THAT'S IN THERE IS EXACTLY THAT. 
          THAT I'M SURE JUST LIKE WE'VE BEEN HAVING STRUGGLES WITH OUR HEATING AND VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING, THERE'S LONG LEAD TIMES ON THESE THINGS. 
          SO WE GOTTA GET THIS GOING NOW RATHER THAN LATER. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO THAT WE GET THAT BALL MOVEMENT. 
          BECAUSE THIS, AND IT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT SCHEDULING AT THE CENTER IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. 
          RIGHT. 
          BECAUSE IT'S, NO, I KNOW. 
          WE WENT, I WENT THROUGH THAT NIGHT THOUGH. 
          WELL, WE WERE TALKING LAST WEEK. 
          YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED, I KEEP MENTIONING RICHARD. 
          UH, BUT I, THE THING IS HE KEEPS SAYING WHILE WE REALLY NEED FROM A MANAGERIAL STANDPOINT IS, UH, A WORK PLAN FOR EACH OF THE CAPITAL BUDGETS. 
          BECAUSE IT WILL HELP THE TOWN TRACK, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE SAY IS BEING DONE. 
          AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IF IT'S REALLY BEING DONE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EXACT, YOU KNOW, I'M SAYING IF, UM, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU MENTIONED RICH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE STATE, WITH CHECKS TO ROAD, YOU KNOW, THE TEXT ARE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE CAN'T ALWAYS PROJECT ACCURATELY. 
          OR IF SOMETHING COMES OUT, IF WE BID AND WE REJECT THE BID, THEN, YOU KNOW, BUT THIS WILL GIVE THEN, THEN WE'RE OFF OUR OWN SCHEDULE. 
          BUT THIS WILL AT LEAST GIVE US THE ABILITY TO, TO TRACK. 
          AND A TIMELINE. 
          YOU A TIMELINE. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK IT SHOULD BE FOR LIKE EVERY PROJECT HAS THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          WE SHOULD HAVE, WE SHOULD TRY THAT. 
          WE DO. 
          BUT THERE'S CURVE BALLS THAT WE CANNOT ANTICIPATE THAT WORKS. 
          THAT'S ALWAYS, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES. 
          FOR INSTANCE, THE CAPPING OF THE LAND, THE TRANSFER STATION UP OFF OF, UH, TAXI ROAD. 
          WE WERE MANDATED BY THE DEC TO CAP IT. 
          THE SECOND PART OF THAT WAS TO, UM, WORK ON THE SALT BEHIND IT. 
          WE'VE BEEN WAITING, I THINK THREE YEARS AT THIS POINT FOR A POSSIBLE VARIANCE ON THAT. 
          UM, BUT WE DON'T SEE AN END IN SIGHT. 
          SO WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH, UH, KIMBERLY, UH, THIS PAST OR LAST WEEK. 
          WE MIGHT LOOK TO CLOSE THAT OUT AND REOPEN IT UP 'CAUSE IT IS A FEW MILLION DOLLARS SITTING THERE. 
          AND WHEN YOU HEAR THAT WE'RE NOT 
          [00:30:01]
SPENDING THAT MONEY, THERE'S ALWAYS A REASON BEHIND IT. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO GET THE JOB DONE. 
          THERE'S OTHER AGENCIES THAT MIGHT BE. 
          SO IF THERE'S A TIMELINE, THEN IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT IT IS CONTINGENT ON THE OTHER. 
          UM, WHETHER IT'S CONED OR NEW YORK STATE, DEC, WHATEVER. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT'S CONTINGENT ON THEIR COMPLYING WITH OUR TIME. 
          WHENEVER YOU'RE DEALING WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU'RE DEALING WITH CONSTRUCTION, SURE. 
          YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA GET A CURVE BALL. 
          THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT COMES. 
          IT'S, THERE'S NOTHING IN THAT CAPITAL THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO OR GET DONE QUICKLY. 
          MM-HMM. 
           THAT'S WHY WE ASK FOR IT. 
          UM, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY FEEL GOOD PROJECTS IN HERE. 
          UM, BUT ON ANY GIVEN DAY, SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. 
          AND THEN THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, YOU GET A STORM OR A BIG BREAK MM-HMM. 
           AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR GEAR'S CHANGING. 
          YOU GOTTA GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. 
          SO AS MUCH AS WE TRY TO PLAN THINGS OUT, YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER KNOW IT'S AROUND TURN NUMBER TWO. 
          THAT'S WHAT NO, STEVE. 
          NO. 
          THAT'S WHY WE, WE BELIEVE YOU. 
          I CAN ADD TO THIS SCHEDULING, UM, CONFLICT WITH THESE TWO PROJECTS. 
          UM, THE PARKING LOT AND THE ELEVATOR, THE PARKING LOT IS GOING TO LIMIT, IF NOT ELIMINATE AT TIMES ACCESS INTO THE CENTER AS WELL AS LOIS BROS. 
          AND, UM, ST. 
          JOHN'S. 
          ST. 
          JOHN'S, ST. 
          JOHN'S. 
          MM-HMM. 
          UM, AND THE ELEVATOR WILL NOT ONLY CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR GETTING UP TO THE ELEVATOR, IT'S RIGHT IN THE BE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. 
          AND IF THEY'RE GONNA WORK, THAT'S GROUND FLOOR. 
          SO TIMEFRAME IS IMPORTANT ON THIS. 
          WE CAN DO SOMETHING WITH OUR PART OF OUR SUMMER CAMP. 
          OUR BRIDGE CAMP, WHICH COMES THE SECOND WEEK AND THE THIRD WEEK, UH, TO MITIGATE THOSE TO MOVE DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          BUT THAT IS OUR TIMEFRAME TO START MID AUGUST INTO SEPTEMBER. 
          BUT OCTOBER 1ST STARTS UP PROGRAMMING AGAIN. 
          AND, UH, YEAH, THIS IS IMPORTANT AND PROGRAM CAN STOP, BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE TO, THAT'D BE THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. 
          SO PATRON ARE GETTING CERTAINLY WANNA IT DURING YOUR QUIET TIME. 
          YES. 
          YOU KNOW, WELL, IT'S QUIET IN ONE SENSE AND CRAZY IN ANOTHER BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUR BUILDING BACK. 
          ARE THERE, ARE THERE ANY THE ELEVATOR YES. 
          THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          LET'S SAY WE RELEASE IT, SAY WITHIN TWO WEEKS, YOU KNOW, LET'S SAY THE GOAL THEN WE WOULD SCHEDULE A HEARING. 
          UM, THE HEARING WOULD PROBABLY BE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE OR THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE. 
          IF, UH, I MEAN, ARE WE ABLE TO SCHEDULE THE HEARING LIKE TOMORROW EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE A CAPITAL BUDGET AND DO IT? I WOULDN'T WANNA DO THAT. 
          I WOULDN'T WANNA DO THAT WITHOUT, WE DON'T HAVE NO'S WHAT I'M SAYING BECAUSE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE AT THEIR, SO THEN WE'RE NOT GONNA PASS THE BUDGET UNTIL THE FIR THE MEETING IN JULY AND THEN IT FROM JULY. 
          HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET ALL THE DOCUMENTS TO THE BOND AGENCIES AND YOU KNOW, WHEN WILL WE ACTUALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE MONEY? BECAUSE I, I, I REMEMBER THAT IT TAKE, IT USED TO TAKE, YOU KNOW, A FEW MONTHS. 
          I, I DON'T THINK A FEW MONTHS, MAYBE A MONTH, BUT OKAY. 
          SO LIKE, UM, SO LET'S SAY IT'S A MONTH. 
          SO THEN IT'S, YOU'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT AUGUST. 
          RIGHT? AND SO THE MONEY WOULD THEN AVAILABLE, BUT THAT'S RIGHT. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          DURING YOUR TIMEFRAME THAT YOU JUST OUTLINED, IF YOU'RE READY TO USE IT AND START WORKING. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          I'M TALKING, I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT, I'M LOOKING AT YOUR TIMELINE. 
          NO, THAT'S WHY I'M LOOKING AT JUST WHAT YOU DESCRIBED FROM THE TIME WE GET THE MONIES AND THE MONIES IS RELEASED. 
          RIGHT. 
          BASED ON THE TIMELINE YOU JUST DESCRIBED, SHOWS THAT YOU WERE GONNA BE FALLING RIGHT INTO THAT, THAT TIMEFRAME. 
          NO. 
          'CAUSE YOU SAID YOU WANNA DO IT IN AUGUST RATHER THAN RIGHT. 
          SHE JUST SAID AUGUST, LET PUT US IN AUGUST. 
          NO, WE WON'T HAVE, WE WON'T HAVE THE MONEY IN AUGUST, I DON'T THINK. 
          BECAUSE IT IS, IF WE APPROVE THE BUDGET IN JULY, UM, THEN BY THE TIME YOU GET ALL THE DUCKS, YOU KNOW, TOGETHER AND EVERY, AND YOU KNOW, THEN BASIC AND ALL THE BOND PAPERS, THAT'S GONNA BE, OR YOU KNOW, PROBABLY, I, IT DOESN'T REALLY TAKE THAT LONG . 
          IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE TWO MONTHS. 
          AND WHEN YOU SAY ELEVATOR REPLACEMENT, DO YOU MEAN THE ENTIRE SHAFT COMES OUT FULL? IT'S A FULL, FULL SMOOTH. 
          THE CAB JUST IN 30 YEARS. 
          IT, THEY HAVE DESIGNED THEM TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY NOW. 
          WELL, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE FIT INTO THAT SPACE BECAUSE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THEY CAN MAKE IT FIT INTO THAT SPACE YES. 
          THAT THEY, THAT CAN DO. 
          SO IS THAT GONNA BE A CUSTOM BUILD? I THINK KIMBERLY WANTS TO, TO ADDRESS THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT SHE FEELS THIS REALLY WELL. 
          UH, THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR CAPITAL MARKETS IS COMING TO MEET WITH ME NEXT WEEK. 
          SO I CAN PIN THEM DOWN FOR A TIMEFRAME, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE TWO MONTHS. 
          YEAH. 
          I JUST REMEMBER FROM THE PASTS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT. 
          BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE DIFFERENT. 
          NOW. 
          WE HAVE, BUT NOT IN THE PRESENT  WHO SPEED IT UP. 
          BUT EVEN, LET'S SAY WE APPROVE IT IN AUGUST, YOU KNOW, LET'S ASSUME, UM, AND LET'S SAY YOU WORK MIRACLES AND ARE ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, APPROVED AND THE RATING AGENCIES AND EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW, WE, WE GET THE MONEY THEN WE STILL HAVE TO GO TO BID. 
          SO THE THING IS THEN THE BIDDING PROCESS ISN'T GONNA BE OVER JUST YOU. 
          I, YOU TOLD ME WE CAN'T GO TO BID UNTIL WE HAVE THE MONEY, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          SO, AND I THINK WHAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER HERE, 
          [00:35:01]
ESPECIALLY WITH THESE TWO PROJECTS, ONE ON THE PARKING LOT SIDE, RIGHT? WESTCHESTER COUNTY, SUZETTE LOPA, WHO DOES AN AWESOME JOB DOING THESE DESIGNS, HAS TO DESIGN THE LOT. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH WE GET THE MONEY AND WE GET INTO GEAR, THIS IS NEXT YEAR AND ALL THE COUNTY STUFF HAS TO BE IN PLACE, BUT WE HAVE TO START THAT NOW. 
          I UNDERSTAND. 
          AND THE ELEVATOR, THERE'S GONNA BE LEAD TIMES ON THAT. 
          SO SCHEDULING AGAIN WITH THE CENTER IS GONNA BE CRITICAL. 
          AND IT MIGHT HAVE TO BE NIGHT WORK. 
          IT'S ALL . 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT I'M JUST SAYING LIKE, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A REALISTIC TIMETABLE FOR THE ELEVATOR, YOU'RE NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. 
          YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING AFTER. 
          IF WE GET THE FUNDING IN AUG, YOU KNOW, IN AUGUST WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO BID, UH, UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, SIGNING THE CONTRACTS. 
          ALL THESE THINGS TAKE, YOU KNOW, MONTHS, WEEKS AND MONTHS FROM MY EXPERIENCES. 
          THEY DO. 
          BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS ONCE WE GET THE, THE PAPERWORK DONE RIGHT, AND YOU GO OUT TO BID AND SOMEONE GETS THAT JOB, WHICH YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE MONEY IN PLACE, THERE'S TIME TO GET THE EQUIPMENT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA SEE IN HERE TONIGHT, UM, THE CHILLER OVER AT THE RIGHT PARKS AND REC. 
          WE'VE GOT A TEMPORARY UNIT THERE. 
          WE HAD A TEMPORARY UNIT AT THE COURT FOR A YEAR. 
          'CAUSE IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME NOW. 
          BUT THE QUESTION I, I THINK, YOU KNOW WHAT PAUL, I, I HAVE A FEELING THAT YOU ARE, YOU ARE HOPING THAT WE COULD GET IT DONE BY THIS FALL, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR. 
          BUT NONE, THIS WILL GET DONE IF WE DON'T GO THROUGH THE PROJECTS TO FIND OUT WHAT WE NEED AND THEN WE COULD FIGURE OUT THE TIME. 
          NO, BUT WELL, BUT THAT'S WHY I SAID WE SHOULD HAVE A TIMELINE. 
          THE ONLY LAST QUESTION I HAVE IS, UM, AND I'VE ASKED THIS IN THE PAST AND EVERYBODY SAID NO, IS IF SINCE THE BOARD, BASICALLY EVERYBODY AGREES WE NEED A NEW ELEVATOR. 
          SO THAT'S NOT, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY CONTROVERSY. 
          SO WOULD TERRANCE BE ABLE TO DO AN RFP NOW KNOWING THAT YOU'RE GONNA GET THE MONEY AND THIS WAY WE COULD SAVE THIS WAY. 
          WE COULD SAVE, SAVE TIME, TIME. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE A COUPLE PROJECTS AND YOU KNOW, IF IT'S GONNA BE IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND, AND YOU START NOW, THEN WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THIS BY AUGUST. 
          I WOULD SUGGEST AS WE GO THROUGH ALL THE PROJECTS, LIKE WE TOLD, WE'VE HEARD SOME REALLY IMPORTANT PROJECTS ALREADY, BUT WE SAID WE'RE NOT MAKING A DECISION AS GOOD AS THE ELEVATOR ISSUE IS. 
          BUT I THINK WE SHOULD BE CONSISTENT IN MY VIEW, LISTEN TO ALL THE PROJECTS, FIGURE OUT WHICH ONES ARE THE HIGH PRIORITY. 
          UM, BECAUSE OTHERWISE, LAST WEEK I, I COULD HAVE MENTIONED A BUNCH, HEY, WE GOTTA DO THAT RIGHT NOW. 
          WHY DON'T WE DO IT OUR, BUT I'D RATHER HAVE A, YOU KNOW, BUT IT CLEAN. 
          BUT I THINK WHAT PAUL'S SAYING IS THOUGH, ONCE WE DECIDE WHAT THOSE PROJECTS ARE, CAN WE THEN GO WITH, BUT IT HAS TO BE ALL THE PROJECTS. 
          WE NEED TO HEAR EVERYONE, OF COURSE. 
          RIGHT. 
          ALL THE PROJECTS. 
          AND THEN WE CAN DETERMINE AND PRIORITIZE WHICH ONES NEEDS TO BE DONE FIRST RATHER THAN GETTING THE MONEY FIRST BEFORE THE RFP. 
          CAN WE, CAN WE GO OUT FOR THE RFP BEFORE WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE MONEY, IS WHAT I THINK PAUL SAY. 
          I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYBODY ON THE BOARD. 
          WE HAVENT DETERMINED WHAT THE PROJECTS WERE FIRST, BUT I DON'T THINK THERE'S, THERE NOBODY ON THE BOARD HAS BEEN SAY NO TO WE DECIDED THE PROJECT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO IF WE KNOW THAT, IF EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING THE ELEVATORS AND WE SAY TO TERRANCE, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE GONNA GET THE FUNDS FOR THE ELEVATOR BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT SOMEBODY STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR FOR A HALF HOUR AND GETTING CLOSURE FILL BOOK OR WHATEVER. 
          SO THING, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS, SO WHY IF, IF TERRANCE COULD START REACHING OUT TO THE COMPANIES AND DOING THE BIDDING NOW, THEN BY TIME AUGUST COMES. 
          BUT, BUT NOT BY NOW. 
          BY, NOT NOW. 
          'CAUSE WHAT FRANCIS IS SAYING IS WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE ANY PROJECT PRIORITY UNTIL WE'VE REVIEWED ALL OF THE PROJECTS. 
          BUT, BUT MAYBE THERE'S A TIME WITH SAME THING RIGHT AFTER THAT WHERE WE COULD, I DON'T KNOW. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          WELL, IT USED TO BE THAT WE WERE BEING OVERCHARGED AND OUR BIDS BECAUSE DEPARTMENTS WERE GOING OUT AND JUST DOING, LET ME CHECK THIS OUT. 
          AND DOING BIDS AND BIDS AND BIDS AND BIDS. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND THERE WASN'T THE MONEY TO BACK IT UP. 
          NO. 
          SO WHEN YOU GOT A BID FROM THE TOWN OF GREENBURG, THEY WERE SAYING, HEY, I MIGHT AS WELL THROW, YOU KNOW, I, I, THIS MAY NEVER COME TRUE, BUT WE WERE GETTING MUCH LARGER NUMBERS THAN WE EXPECTED. 
          AND THEN WE FLIPPED IT AROUND AND SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU NEED A RESOLUTION TO GO OUT TO BID. 
          AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAD THE BACKING OF THE BOARD FOR IT. 
          AND I I I, I FOUND THAT WE WERE GETTING MUCH BETTER, UH, BIDS, MORE SINCERE BIDS. 
          AND I, I WOULD NOT WANT TO DEVIATE FROM THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          WE DON'T WANNA DEVIATE FROM PROCESS. 
          WE THE OTHER, MAKE SURE WE, IT WORKS  A PROCESS THAT WORKS. 
          IT'S A PROCESS THAT WORKS. 
          ANOTHER QUESTION TO THINK ABOUT IS IF THERE IS A CONFLICT, UM, FINDING ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS FOR SOME WITHIN THE GREENBERG FAMILY OF BUILDINGS THERE. 
          IF THERE 
          [00:40:01]
HAS TO BE A TEMPORARY RELOCATION AND A BUSING OVER TO GERALD BURNS CENTER, DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY WOULD LOOK INTO THAT. 
          I WOULD JUST SAY, UM, WHEN THAT HAPPENS OTHER PLACES, THEY'RE USUALLY COMING TO US BECAUSE WE HAVE THE MOST AMOUNT OF SPACE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT, BUT IT IS SOMETHING IF NEED BE. 
          SO IF POSSIBLE FOR SURE, YOU KNOW, IF THE SENIORS, YOU KNOW, WE CAN COMBINE THEM OR RIGHT. 
          DO SOMETHING AT THE GERARD BURN CENTER, THEN WE, I THINK IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING LOT, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE CENTER IS ALSO A SHELTER. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, AND, UH, THE NEIGHBOR TO THE LEFT, AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE BUILDING, THE AUTO PARTS STORE, THAT PARKING LOT IS RELATIVELY VACANT MOST OF THE TIME. 
          THERE'S NO CARS BACK THERE. 
          AND YOU HAVE THE SENIOR HOUSING RIGHT NEXT DOOR. 
          I THINK YOU'RE GONNA HAVE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORS. 
          MM-HMM. 
           RIGHT. 
          TO SEE AT LEAST TEMPORARILY ABSOLUTELY. 
          PARKING. 
          AND WE CAN GET THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 
          I'M THINKING MORE, I'M PRETTY SURE WE DON'T HAVE TO PLAN THIS ALL OUT HERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          I THINK WE COULD JUST, IT'S UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT NEEDS, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO APPROVE HERE BE TO FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS. 
          IT SHOULD BE PART AND PARCEL OF THE THINKING THOUGH, TO HAVE BACKUP IF, ESPECIALLY FOR THE ELEVATOR REPLACEMENT. 
          OH, I'M SURE HE WOULD, BUT I, I, YEAH. 
          BUT THEY LET, THEY CAN FIGURE THAT ALL FIRST WE HAVE TO GET THE ELEVATOR. 
          UM, AND WHAT ADDS TO ALL OF THAT IS, UH, I'M SORRY, WHERE IS THE MECHANICAL ROOM? IS IT ON THE FIRST FLOOR? WHICH ONE? FOR THE ELEVATOR. 
          . 
          YES, IT IS ON THE FIRST FLOOR. 
          . 
          AND THAT'S ALL GONNA YEAH. 
          A FEW OF THOSE. 
          AND YOU'RE GONNA RIP EVERYTHING OUT THERE AND START FRESH TOO. 
          YEAH, THAT'S GONNA BE A REDO. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND, AND, AND IT ALMOST WAS KIND OF ALREADY DONE WHEN WE HAD THE FLOOD. 
          OH. 
          YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THOSE PIECES HAD TO BE PULLED OUT AND EVERYTHING ELSE, UM, CONNECTED TO KIND OF THOSE THINGS. 
          UH, THEN COMES CLIMATE CONTROL IN THE BUILDING, HVAC. 
          UH, AND THAT IS SOMETHING NOT UNIQUE TO OUR BUILDING. 
          SO I'LL SURELY THAT, UH, RICH GAVE YOU THAT. 
          SO I BELIEVE IN THE ONE MORE, OH, SORRY, SORRY. 
          ON THE ELEVATOR ESTIMATE AND ON THE HVAC, ARE THESE ACTUALLY BASED ON SOMEBODY COMING AND GIVING YOU AN ESTIMATE OR THEY JUST, UM, THEY'RE, WE, UH, I THINK AT ONE POINT TERRENCE HAD, UM, ACTUALLY GOTTEN ALMOST A GRANT FROM SOMEONE AND WE STARTED LOOKING AT, OKAY. 
          THAT WAS, UH, UNDER STEWART COUSIN'S OFFICE. 
          THAT WAS, UH, 50,000. 
          IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE FAIRLY REAL NUMBER. 
          THEY SHOULD BE, THAT ONE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE REAL. 
          YES. 
          AND THE PARKING LOT, UH, THROUGH WHAT JOE HAS DONE ALREADY. 
          AND BECAUSE IT'S A GRANT AGAIN, THAT ONE'S REALLY GOOD. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO YOU WANT TO HAVE COMFORT. 
          YES. 
          YOU KNOW, A LITTLE HEAT AND AC WHEN IT'S HOT. 
          OH, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY IT HELPS. 
          JUST GOT SOMEBODY 105 IN THE BUILDING. 
          . 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          UM, SO YES, HE AND AC SO AS, UH, I SAID AT THE LAST MEETING, UH, COUNCILWOMAN JACKSON. 
          OH, LOOK AT THAT. 
          WOW. 
          WHAT'D SHE SAY? ASKED US TO GET A STUDY DONE OF ALL THE BUILDINGS. 
          SO WE'D HAVE A, A LIST OF EVERYTHING AND A PECKING ORDER IN WHICH THEY HAD TO BE DONE. 
          UH, THE CENTER IS GOT A BOILER ON THE SECOND FLOOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 
          WE KNEW THAT DURING THE FIRST FLOOR REPLACEMENT THAT WAS COMPLETED THIS YEAR, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS WORKING WELL. 
          VERY WELL. 
          AND THERE'S TWO UNIT, TWO UNITS FOR AC ON THE ROOF THAT NEED TO BE DONE. 
          YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THE CENTER HAS, I THINK ON ITS ROOFS AND DOWNSTAIRS WITHIN THE BUILDING 16 SEPARATE ZONE. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE THIS BUILDING'S BEEN ADDED ONTO SO MANY TIMES. 
          I MEAN, THE ORIGINAL BUILDINGS FROM THE SIXTIES DURING THE URBAN RENEWAL, I THINK IT'S THE LAST CENTER. 
          YEP. 
          RIGHT. 
          IN THE AREA. 
          SO A LOT OF IT HAS BEEN PIECED TOGETHER AND IS QUITE OLD. 
          UM, SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS HERE. 
          AND THIS WAS OFF THAT STUDY THAT APPRECIATED. 
          YEP. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THIS IS A JOINT, JUST JOINT HERE. 
          ELECTRONICS, SIGNAGE. 
          SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, SUPERVISOR FINER ASKED FOR, AND I KNOW PETER ASKED DID ONE FOR THIS BUILDING. 
          THIS IS, UH, TOWN BUILDING, SIGNAGE, ELECTRONICS. 
          SO IT WOULD BE AT THE FRONT, UH, THIS IS CONCLUDES, UH, THE CENTER, THE LIBRARY AND THE NATURE CENTER. 
          THESE ARE THE MOVABLE SIGNS OR NO, YOU WERE ON THE LATER ON. 
          THERE'S ONE OF THOSE IN THE SO AN EXAMPLE. 
          THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. 
          NOT PANDER. 
          LET'S SAY THERE'S A JUNETEENTH EVENT. 
           AND, AND PERFECT SEGUE. 
          NO, NO, I'M JUST SAYING, LET'S SAY THERE'S A JUNETEENTH EVENT AND WE WANT TO GET A GREAT TURNOUT. 
          UM, AND WE SAY THIS IS THE PLACE YOU HAVE TO BE ON ON JUNE 14TH AT 6:00 PM LOOK AT YOU. 
          THEN WE'LL GET EVERYBODY IN. 
          THE COMMUNITY WILL, 
          [00:45:01]
WE'LL SAY IT NOW. 
          INSTEAD OF GETTING ONLY PEOPLE FROM THIS AREA, NOW PEOPLE, IT WILL BE A LARGE TURNOUT FROM THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. 
          AND YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A ROAD THAT'S CLOSED BECAUSE THERE'S A HURRICANE OR WHATEVER, WE COULD SAY AVOID THESE ROADS IF KIND IS DOING GA'S WORK, YOU KNOW, IT'S A WAY OF, YOU KNOW, NOTIFYING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE. 
          NO, I UNDERSTOOD. 
          I THINK IT REALLY WILL BE GREAT. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T THINK, I THINK WE AGREED THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS UP. 
          RIGHT. 
          YOU DID. 
          UH, JUST INFORMATION FOR THIS SIGN AT THE CENTER PLACEMENT WILL BE IMPORTANT. 
          UH, THE SIGN THAT WAS PUT FOR THE, UH, REPAIR CAFE THIS PAST SATURDAY, THAT WHICH WENT VERY WELL. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          IT'S A ONE OF THOSE MOVABLE SIGNS. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, JUST SOME NEIGHBORS HAVE, UH, CHALLENGES. 
          ISSUES, YEAH. 
          JUST CONCERNS. 
          CONCERNS OF IT BEING THERE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND WHY IT'S STILL THERE AND UH, AND IT'S IN FRONT OF THEIR HOMES BLINKING AT NIGHT. 
          BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, IF WE, IF YOU FEEL THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE IT AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER, THEN WE COULD, WE COULD JUST, IT'S JUST, IT'S ALL ABOUT PLACEMENT. 
          I'M NOT KNOCKING YOU YOU DOWN AT ALL. 
          IT'S PLACEMENT IN HOURS. 
          IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEY'RE BLINKING ALL NIGHT, WELL THEY SHOULDN'T BE GOING ALL NIGHT. 
          MAYBE TURN OFF. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, AND, AND IF WE REALLY WANT TO GET IT, YOU KNOW, GO DOWN THE STREET JUST A LITTLE BIT AND THAT'S, UM, ONE 19. 
          LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT IT. 
          SO THEN WE NEED STATE PERMISSION. 
          WHAT AN ARROW POINT IN THIS ONE. 
          EXACTLY. 
          THAT'S A STATE ROAD. 
          YEAH, IT'S A STATE ROAD. 
          SO BACK IT UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE ONE IN THE HARTSDALE AREA, BUT AT HARTSDALE, UH, AVENUE AREA TOO. 
          YEAH. 
          I ASKED, UH, THE, UH, IF WE COULD DO IT AT THE PARKING GARAGE, YOU KNOW, BUT THEY DIDN'T, THEY THOUGHT THAT THAT WASN'T LIKE THE BEST IDEA. 
          IT'S NOT AS VISIBLE, BUT I SORT OF THOUGHT THAT, LIKE RIGHT NOW THE HARTSDALE PARKING AUTHORITY IS, A LOT OF THE SPOTS ARE TAKEN UP BECAUSE, UH, THEY'RE DOING CONSTRUCTION. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE GETTING TICKETED BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY CAN'T PARK IN LIKE A THIRD OF THE SPOTS AND THEN THERE'S MISSING THE TRAIN. 
          THERE'S NO CURRENT SIGNAGE NOW. 
          SO THEY WOULD NOT, IT'S NOT REALLY THE PARKING AUTHORITY DIDN'T, THEY'VE BEEN SENDING MESSAGES, BUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE AND THEN THEY, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING. 
          BUT I SORT OF THOUGHT THAT IT'S NOT ONLY THAT IT'S, IT'S UM, IF THE PIPELINE ROAD IS CLOSED, IF THE TREE'S DOWN OR YOU KNOW, I JUST SORT OF THINK THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE SOMETHING ON, ON EAST TAR AGAIN. 
          I THINK THAT'S WHAT COUNCILMAN SHE WAS SAYING. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD GREAT. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL AGREEMENT. 
          BUT AS LONG AS THE CHIEF AGREES THAT IT'S NOT GONNA BE A DISTRACTION TO DRIVER. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT SHE SAID HE AGREED THAT IT WASN'T. 
          WELL WE'RE NOW TALKING ABOUT COLOR TOO. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T WANT DISTRACTED. 
          YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY NEED THE COLOR. 
          WE, THE MAIN THING IS WE, WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S BASIC BECAUSE THE GOAL IS NOT TO HAVE, THE MOST ATTRACTIVE LOOKING SIGN IS BASICALLY JUST TO GIVE INFORMATION. 
          SURE. 
          I THINK YOU WERE ADDRESSING THE ONE THAT PETER ASKED HAD SUGGESTED HE'S NOT OPERATIONAL. 
          I DON'T THINK THIS IS MEANT TO BE, YOU KNOW, AND I, I WILL PROMISE THAT WE WILL NOT GIVE PAUL ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO PROGRAM THAT . 
          UM, THIS IS MORE, I THINK A SMALLER, NOT, YOU KNOW, OBNOXIOUS SIGN. 
          NO. 
          THAT JUST IS INFORMATIONAL. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL IS THIS THE SAME ONE THAT PETER BROUGHT TO US? YES, IT IS THE SAME TYPE OF THING. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT HIS HAD COLOR, THIS ONE HAD COLOR. 
          WE ALL SAID NO WE DIDN'T. 
          IT'S TOO MUCH. 
          WE CAN DO BASICALLY REPORT BASED. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ONE THAT WAS INSTALLED AT WORK. 
          NO, REALLY? NOT ONCE. 
          UH, WE, I THINK THEY TRIED TO GET IT GOING AND THIS ONE, YEAH. 
          I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU, IT'S A PIECE OF ART NOW. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          WHAT ELSE? YOU CONTINUE TOWARDS THE, UH, THE JOINT VENTURES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEK. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YOU ALREADY SAW THE SECURITY. 
          UM, THE ROOFING PROJECTS IS IN HERE AGAIN FOR ALSO INCLUDING THE CENTER. 
          AND THAT INCLUDES THE CENTER IS NOW, IS THAT INCLUDING THOSE BRONZE AS WELL? NO, BECAUSE THAT'S A, I I PULL IT UP ON MY PHONE WHEN YOU COMBINE ALL THOSE ROOFS. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S A LOT OF ROOF. 
          THAT'S, I I, I MUST SAY, UM, GENERALLY SPEAKING, AT LEAST FROM OUR BUILDING AND I THAT'S PHENOMENAL. 
          PRETTY MUCH IN IN YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          PRETTY MUCH IN CONNECTION WITH THEM. 
          SOMEWHAT OFTEN. 
          I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT YOU CAN LAND A PLANE . 
          I HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT, UH, THAT TOO MUCH. 
          THE ONLY PLACE IT HAPPENS IN THE BUILDING IS WHEN IT WAS CONNECTED RIGHT NEAR ONE OF THE AC UNITS OR SOMETHING. 
          THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT A, A GAP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENING. 
          AND USUALLY THEY COME AND DO THEIR, UH, THE ADJUST THE STUFF THAT THEY LAY DOWN FOR IT. 
          OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS OVER THE POOL, EXCUSE ME, IS OVER THE GYM. 
          THAT'S WHERE OUR PIECES ARE. 
          AND THAT ONE JUST, IT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, MORE STUFF PUT ON IT TO COVER IT AND ALL, BUT IT'S AN OLD STYLE ROOF THAT IS JUST FLAT AND IT GETS, IT, IT SINKS AND THE WATER POOLS THERE BECAUSE THE DRAINAGE IS OLD AND HOW IT WORKS. 
          YOU GOTTA GO UP THERE EVERY NOW AND THEN, MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR AND ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS. 
          SO THAT ONE IS DEFINITELY A, 
          [00:50:01]
A, A PIECE THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
          LUCKILY WITH OUR NEW FLOOR, THE WATER GETTING ON IT ISN'T AS MUCH AS AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A WOOD FLOOR ANYMORE. 
          HOWEVER IT IS ISSUE IF WE'RE NOT SEEING IT AND SOMEBODY SLIP. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          SO THOSE ARE, AND WE'RE LOOKING ALL THE TIME. 
          IF IT'S RAINING, WE'RE, WE'RE WATCHING IT. 
          BUT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO SHUT DOWN PROGRAMS 'CAUSE IT'S JUST COMING DOWN TOO MUCH. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SECURITY. 
          I'M SORRY THAT DID COME UP AND I DON'T WANNA GO OVER THAT. 
          UM, WITH AS MUCH WORK AS BEEN DONE IN TOWN HALL FOR SECURITY SAKE IN THE AGE THAT WE LIVE IN, UM, IT HAS BEEN BOUGHT UP THAT SOME PLACES LIKE T-D-Y-C-C AND PARKS AND REC CAN BE WIDE OPEN. 
          AND IT DOES FALL INTO THE SITUATION OF THE KIND OF WORK THAT WE DO. 
          WE HAVE PEOPLE IN THERE ALL DAY AND EVERYTHING. 
          BUT I JUST KNOW THAT MORE CAN BE DONE FROM A, UM, INSTEAD OF AN AFTER FACT BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED. 
          WHAT CAN WE DO IN A PREVENTATIVE FACT? MM-HMM. 
          , UH, AND UH, RICH HAS BEEN WORKING ON THAT, BEEN WORKING WITH MIS ON THAT, A POSSIBLE NEW DESIGN IN THE, UM, IN THE FRONT FOYER. 
          BUT IT'S A SMALL AREA. 
          MM-HMM. 
           AND IT'S THE MAIN WAY IN AND OUT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. 
          SO IT HAS TO BE QUICK IN THAT. 
          BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON. 
          BUT, UH, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE JUST NEED TO KEEP IN MIND BECAUSE BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO KEEP US IN MIND THAT WE'RE SOMEWHAT LIKE A SCHOOL. 
          SO, SO REALLY QUICKLY AND, AND VERY QUICKLY. 
          SO WHAT THOUGHTS ARE YOU LOOKING? ARE YOU, ARE YOU NOT TRYING TO DO SOME SORT OF, UM, MAGNA METAL DETECTOR? YEAH, NO, DON'T, DON'T WANNA BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, 'CAUSE 'CAUSE I JUST WANT, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL 'CAUSE ABSOLUTELY. 
          YOU KNOW, WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME PRECIOUS CARGO THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, THAT WE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR. 
          WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, IT'S STILL FRIENDLY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          IT'S STILL COMFORTABLE TO COME THAT YOU'RE NOT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO, YOU JUST SOMETHING THAT WE'RE THE, THE THINKING, THE WAY YOU COME IN OUR, UM, ENTRY DESK IS OFF TO YOUR RIGHT. 
          MM-HMM. 
           AND THE, YOU CAN JUST GO RIGHT PAST IT BASICALLY. 
          MM-HMM. 
           IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MORE OF AN OBSTRUCTION RIGHT IN FRONT, BUT IN AN EMERGENCY CAN BE POOF OPENED UP SO FLOODGATE CAN GO OUT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , YOU KNOW, JUST A THOUGHT. 
          NOTHING RIGHT THERE. 
          BUT IT'S THE MINDSET SO SMALL TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. 
          OKAY. 
          WHEN YOU SAID FLOODGATE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I'M SORRY, WRONG WORD FOR YOU. 
          UM, THAT IT OPENS QUICKLY. 
          IT OPENS SO EVERYBODY CAN GET OUT AS FAST GATE AS POSSIBLE, BUT WHEN IT IS CLOSED YOU HAVE TO GO IN ORDERLY AND YOU CAN'T JUST RUSH THROUGH FLOOD OF PEOPLE, NOT FLOOD OF WATER'S. 
          WHAT I THINK THINK, I DUNNO, FLOODGATE WILL BE PART OF THE PARKING LOT PROJECT . 
          INDEED. 
          OKAY. 
          NO, THAT MAKES, SO YOU'RE SAYING JUST MAKE FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE SAY ON A FAMILY DAY, YOU WOULD JUST LET ANYBODY IN, BUT MAYBE ON A REGULAR, LIKE ON A MONDAY OR TU I'M JUST THROWING OUT, THEN YOU MAY SAY, OKAY, WE WANT TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN TERMS OF, I WAS THINKING MEANT LIKE THERE'S A FIRE OR SOMETHING WHEN, WHEN THERE'S A FIRE AND PEOPLE NEED TO GET OUT. 
          LIKE, WE DID HAVE AN ALERT THE OTHER DAY AND WE WERE PACKED. 
          WE HAD EVERY, IT WAS A TUESDAY AND THURSDAY THAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT SLOWED PEOPLE DOWN COMING IN, IT OPENS UP TO LET AS MANY PEOPLE, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING QUICK EXIT, LOOK AT IT AND REIMAGINE IT. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, THIS WAS JUST SO I CAN GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. 
          MM-HMM MM-HMM. 
          . 
          BUT THAT IS STUFF, AND I'VE BEEN TALKING TO EVERYBODY, FIRE, POLICE, UM, ON THE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY DO. 
          FOLLOWING UP ON GINA'S, YOU KNOW, COMMENTS IN TERMS OF, UH, THE CONCERN THAT PEOPLE MAY HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT BEING SENSITIVE, YOU KNOW, SENSITIVE, UH, HAS A COMMUNITY CENTER, ADVISORY BOARD, UH, YOU KNOW, DISCUSS THE SECURITY BECAUSE MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY THEN WE MIGHT WANNA KNOW. 
          ASK THEM, YOU KNOW, TO GIVE US AN OPINION. 
          BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY FEEL, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHY ARE WE DIS YOU KNOW, TAKING STEPS THAT MIGHT DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM, YOU KNOW, FEELING WELCOME, FEELING WELCOME. 
          I'M JUST THROWING THAT THIS OUT. 
          BUT, BUT I THINK, I THINK SECURITY, THAT'S THE, IT'S SECURITY. 
          IT'S SECURITY. 
          IT IS NOWHERE NEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          I WOULD NEVER WANNA DO THAT. 
          WE WE'RE NOT GONNA DESIGN IT RIGHT HERE AND NOW. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO IT HAS TO BE LOOKED ATABSOLUTELY, BUT WE KNOW WE ARE AWARE AND WE CAN ABSOLUTELY. 
          BUT I THINK, I THINK JUST, JUST, JUST AS THE COMMISSIONER STARTED HIS STATEMENT IS THAT IN LIGHT OF WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IN TODAY'S TIME, THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO THAT'S ALL IS, THERE'S NOTHING TO DETER ANYONE FROM COMING TO AND VISITING AND, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATING IN PROGRAMS AND STUFF AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER. 
          HOWEVER, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT IT MAY BE, THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WE MIGHT WANT TO SAY TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER ADVISORY BOARD BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT PEOPLE FROM THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. 
          WE WANT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. 
          THIS IS GONNA BE INCLUDED IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY SOMETIMES THINGS THAT YOU, 
          [00:55:01]
WE COULD THINK OUR INTENTIONS ARE REALLY GOOD AND THEN PEOPLE MAY BE OFFENDED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. 
          AND IF THE COMMUNITY CENTER ADVISORY BOARD, AND EVEN THE POLICE ADVISORY BOARD, UM, WOULD BASICALLY SAY, OH, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA BECAUSE OUR CONCERN IS THE SAFETY AND WE WANNA MAKE SURE THE SAFE, THE BUILDING'S SAFE, THEN AT LEAST WE COULD SAY WE INCLUDED, UM, A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY IN THE PROCESS. 
          TELL, TELL. 
          I JUST THINK IT MAKES SENSE. 
          I CAN TELL YOU NO ONE WOULD BACK DOWN FOR WANTING SECURITY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          BUT THEY WOULD NOT GO FORWARD WITH ANYTHING AND GIVING AN OPINION UNTIL THEY HAD SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. 
          RIGHT. 
          WHICH WAS BY PROFESSIONALS THAT GAVE US A INSIGHT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          RIGHT. 
          CORRECT. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          THAT'S VERY MAKES SENSE. 
          OKAY. 
          NOR SHOULD RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THEY SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT ELSE WE GOT? WHAT DO YOU GOT? IS THAT IT? VERY GOOD. 
          I'VE GOT A LOT OF THIS.

          I WOULD LET GARY GO IN AND I'LL FINISH UP. 
          I WAS. 
          SO THIS IS A BIG PACKET, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. 
          ONE LAST THING I MUST TELL YOU. 
          UH, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, INVITE YOU TO, SO, UH, SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW, SOME OF YOU MAY NOT, IT'S BEEN KIND OF SECRET THUS FAR, BUT IT IS WORKING THROUGH A GIFT FROM, UH, EARN YOUR LEISURE, WHICH IS A MAJOR GROUP FROM, UH, WHICH WERE STUDENTS THAT ARE GROWN ADULTS NOW THAT GREW UP IN THIS AREA AND AT THE CENTER.

          I SURELY WILL. 
          AS THE FLYER IS BEING CREATED RIGHT NOW. 
          ALMOST DONE. 
          BUT IT WASN'T SO I DIDN'T WANNA BRING IT YET. 
          .

          IT'LL BE EVEN GREATER WHEN THE WOOD FROM THE, UH, MURAL GETS TO US TO BUILD MORE OKAY. 
          BEDS. 
          SO THAT WAS THE INTENT. 
          THAT WAS THE INTENT. 
          . 
          THAT WAS THE INTENT. 
          OKAY.

          TERRANCE. 
          THANKS. 
          ARE YOU SIGNED ON? UH, IN A MOMENT. 
          ROBERT WILL BE. 
          I, YEAH, ACTUALLY I, I'M THERE YOU ARE. 
          NO YOU'RE NOT. 
          I, HE'S SITTING UP NOW. 
          I HAVE TO RESIGN IT, BUT I'M, I CAN ALSO STOP. 
          LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO UP OUR GAME NEXT YEAR IF HE'S DOING PRESENTATIONS. 
          YOU SAY ONE O' WHAT'S THAT? WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO UP OUR GAME NEXT YEAR IF HE'S DOING PRESENTATIONS. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          . 
          GET WITH THE PROGRAM. 
          PRESENTATIONS ARE WHAT GET YOU THE MONEY, JERRY, BY DON'T SAY IT THEN. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW I'M ON COMMIT IN SOMETHING. 
          THE 15TH. 
          THE 15TH AT ONE O'CLOCK YOU SAID? YES. 
          GREAT. 
          OKAY, AWAY YOU GO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO I SAW ON THE AGENDA THAT THERE'S A ODELL HOUSE. 
          RIGHT. 
          IF YOU COULD BRING THAT A LITTLE CLOSER TO 
          [01:00:01]
YOU. 
          SO ON THE AGENDA THERE'S AN ODELL HOUSE ITEM. 
          AND THEN ALSO, UH, I WILL NOTE THAT ODELL HOUSE IS ONE OF MY CAPITAL BUDGET REQUESTS. 
          SO, UH, ONE SUGGESTION THAT I HAVE IS TO, UH, COMBINE THE TWO TOPICS HERE AND, AND GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE ODELL HOUSE. 
          AND, UH OKAY. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO, ALRIGHT. 
          GAME PLAN IS TO BRING GOOD NEWS HERE 'CAUSE THIS IS A GOOD STORY TO TELL. 
          UM, WITH RESPECT TO ODELL HOUSE, WHICH IS UNDER, UM, MASSIVE RECONSTRUCTION REPAIR, UM, OVER THERE ON RIDGE ROAD, TWO PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION ARE NOW COMPLETE. 
          AND THIS IS DONE VIA TOWN OF GREENBURG FUNDS, UM, WHICH ARE A BUDGET FUNDS AS WELL AS, UH, NEW YORK STATE FUND AND SAM GRANT. 
          SO THOSE ARE ESSENTIALLY THE THREE SOURCES THAT HAVE REALLY BROUGHT THIS HOUSE BACK TO LIFE, WHICH FOR OVER 70 YEARS HAS JUST FALLEN INTO MASSIVE DISREPAIR BEFORE THE TOWN, UM, TOOK POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE AND PUT ALL THESE RESOURCES INTO PLACE. 
          SO THE FIRST PHASE, TEMPORARY SHORING IS COMPLETE AND THAT ESSENTIALLY WAS TEMPORARY AND IT'S STILL IN PLACE, BUT IT'S COMPLETE. 
          AND IT KEPT THE HOUSE LITERALLY FROM STANDING POTENTIALLY FALLING DOWN. 
          SO STABILIZED THE HOUSE SO THAT THE NEXT PHASE OF REPAIRS COULD HAPPEN. 
          THAT NEXT PHASE OF REPAIR ARE ROOF REPAIRS. 
          THE ROOF IS COMPLETELY DONE. 
          UM, SO THAT PHASE TWO IS FULLY DONE INCLUDED CHIMNEY REPAIRS, STRUCTURAL REPAIRS, UM, SO THAT IS, UM, SUCCESSFUL PHASE. 
          THAT'S COMPLETE. 
          THE THIRD PHASE IS PERMANENT STABILIZATION IN 1905, REAR EXTENSION REBUILD, AND THEN FULL SIDING AND SHINGLES ON THE WHOLE HOUSE. 
          THAT PHASE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. 
          SO IF YOU GO TO THE SITE, YOU WILL SEE THAT OCCURRING. 
          I DO WANT TO, UM, GO THROUGH A PHO A FEW PHOTOS HERE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ON THE SCREEN, I'M JUST GONNA CYCLE THROUGH A FEW PHOTOGRAPHS HERE. 
          AND STARTING FROM THE FIRST PHASE WHEN I, WE TALK ABOUT TEMPORARY SHORING, IT IS LITERALLY, UM, TWO BY FOUR MEMBRANES SET UP BY THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER IN A FASHION THAT SUPPORT THE HOUSE. 
          SO THIS IS, UM, SIMPLE EXAMPLE AND TO THE TEMPORARY SHORING, THERE'S MUCH MORE BEYOND THIS. 
          BUT THAT'S JUST GIVES YOU A SENSE OF, OF WHAT WAS DONE THERE AS FAR AS THE ROOF. 
          BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T SHOW THE, THE DELICATE NATURE OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING BECAUSE THEY NEED AT THE BASE TO HAVE, UH, SOMETHING THAT'S SECURE SO IT DOESN'T GO RIGHT TO THE GROUND. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO THAT, THAT THERE'S A LOT UNDERNEATH AS WELL. 
          RIGHT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND I HAVE SOME MORE PHOTOS THAT WILL SPEAK TO THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, THAT'S JUST A, YOU KNOW, HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE TEMP SHORING THAT'S, THAT'S IN THE HOUSE. 
          AND THIS IS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR. 
          UM, IF I COULD JUST EMPHASIZE WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE, THE DISREPAIR AND THE DETERIORATION OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE TOWN HAVING CONTROL AND POSSESSION OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THE HOUSE WAS LAST INHABITED, I BELIEVE, EARLY NINETIES, BUT EVEN BEFORE THAT, THE HOUSE REALLY WAS, WAS FALLING INTO DISREPAIR THAT ACCELERATED FROM 1990 UNTIL 2020, AT WHICH TIME THE TOWN STEPPED IN, IMMEDIATELY TARPED THE ROOF THANKS TO RICH'S CREW AND, UM, STARTED UNDERTAKING ALL THE STEPS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THUS FAR. 
          UM, JUST A COUPLE, UH, NOTES ON THE ROOF. 
          THE RIGHT SIDE, THE STONE ADDITION, THAT'S A FULL ROOF REBUILD THAT'S DONE, UH, LOOKS GREAT. 
          UM, THE LEFT SIDE WAS MORE OF A REPAIR. 
          THERE WAS SOME TREES THAT CAME IN AND DAMAGED, UH, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROOF. 
          UM, SO THAT WAS MORE OF REPAIR WORK. 
          THE FULL, THE, THE RIGHT SIDE, THE STONE SIDE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE QUITE WELL HERE, 1855 EDITION. 
          THAT ROOF IS FULLY DONE. 
          UM, AND IT LOOKS GREAT. 
          BOTH SIDES LOOK GREAT. 
          UM, THIS IS INSIDE OF THE 1855. 
          YOU CAN SEE, AND THIS IS A LOT OF THIS ARE, THESE ARE NEW BEAMS. YEAH. 
          UM, LOOKS GREAT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          I DO WANNA SHARE SCREEN ON A QUICK ELEVATION ON THE PLANS. 
          SO THE, THE ORIGINAL HOUSE WAS BUILT WHAT YEAR? UH, 1765. 
          THE FIRST SECTION, WHICH IS, UM, TIMBER FRAME WOOD. 
          AND THEN ACTUALLY INTUITIVELY, I ALWAYS WOULD'VE THOUGHT THE STONE PORTION WOULD'VE BEEN THE OLDEST. 
          IT'S NOT THE CASE. 
          1765 ON THE WOOD PORTION. 
          1865 ON THE STONE. 
          AND THEN SOMEWHERE POST 1900, 19 0 5, UM, THIS 20 BY 25 EDITION TO THE REAR, WHICH THE SHED. 
          THE SHED. 
          UM, BUT THAT, I'M GONNA HIGHLIGHT THIS FOR INTENTS AND PURPOSES. 
          I WONDER IF, UH, THERE'S LIKE ANY RECORDS HOW MUCH, UH, THE 1765 BUILDING COST, UM, $1. 
          THEY, THEY PROBABLY DID IT THEMSELVES. 
          THEY BUILT IT OR HAD SLAVES BUILT IT? NO, I WAS 
          [01:05:01]
GONNA ASK IF THERE'S A WARRANTY AND HAVE TO, UH, GEORGE WASHINGTON. 
          SO THESE ARE ELEVATIONS, UM, THESE ARE ELEVATIONS FOR THE DRAWINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY, UM, UNDERWAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT'S UNDERWAY. 
          AND YES, THIS IS GO, THIS IS A FULL REBUILD AND I'M HIGHLIGHTING WITH MY CURSOR HERE. 
          UM, AND THAT NOW THAT THAT HAD FALLEN, FALLEN, THAT HAD FALLEN DOWN, RIGHT? I'M SORRY. 
          THAT HAD FALLEN DOWN. 
          IT WAS, YEAH, IT HAD FALLEN DOWN. 
          YES. 
          IT WAS ESSENTIALLY A PIT. 
          UM, AND THAT'S GONNA BE RECONSTRUCTED TO LOOK, UM, MUCH BETTER THAN IT EVER DID. 
          AND, AND, AND MATCH THE FACADE OF, OF, OF THE, THE, THE TIMBER FRAME AND THE SHINGLES. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S A SNAPSHOT OF WHERE WE ARE WHEN ALL THREE OF THESE, WHEN THIS THIRD PHASE IS COMPLETE, WHICH IS PROJECTED TO BE, I WILL SAY, UM, SAY SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR, YOU WILL SEE THIS FULL REBUILD ON THIS EXTENSION TO THE REAR. 
          UM, THE SHINGLES WILL LOOK AS, YOU KNOW, MINT  IF YOU WILL. 
          UM, SO THE EXTERIOR WILL HAVE THIS, THIS, YOU WILL ALMOST BE DECEIVED 'CAUSE YOU WILL DRIVE BY AND SAY TO YOURSELF, WOW, ODELL HOUSE IS, IS FINISHED. 
          BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT THE CASE. 
          IT WILL HAVE THAT APPEARANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE. 
          UM, WHEN THIS THIRD PHASE IS COMPLETE, THERE WILL BE ROUGHLY $1.45 MILLION LEFT OF ALL CONSTRUCTION FUNDING. 
          THE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED THUS FAR PAID FOR PHASE ONE OF CONSTRUCTION, PHASE TWO OF CONSTRUCTION PHASE WILL HAVE PAID FOR PHASE THREE OF CONSTRUCTION AND ALL DESIGN. 
          SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE LEFT WITH $1.45 MILLION OF, UM, DIRECT CONSTRUCTION SPENDING DOLLAR. 
          AND THE FOURTH PHASE, STEVE TILLEY'S OFFICE, THE, THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION ARCHITECT THAT'S ACTIVE RIGHT NOW IS DESIGNING THAT. 
          SO THAT'S GONNA BE A BIG PACKAGE. 
          IT'S GONNA INCLUDE THINGS LIKE ELECTRICAL, INTERIOR FINISHES, CLIMATE CONTROL, SECURITY ALARM, UM, REMAINING INTERIOR FINISHES, PLUMBING, SEPTIC. 
          THIS, UM, THIS, THIS, THIS 1905 WING WILL ACTUALLY BE AN A DA COMPLIANT BATHROOM. 
          BATHROOM. 
          SO THIS NEXT PHASE WILL INCLUDE A DA ACCESSIBILITY, AND AGAIN, ROUGHLY $1.45 MILLION FOR THAT. 
          UM, LIGHTING AS WELL. 
          YES, LIGHT, ABSOLUTELY LIGHTING AS WELL. 
          UM, I KNOW THERE WAS A NOTE ABOUT SOME CHANGE ORDERS, SO I'M GONNA SPEAK TO THAT IN IN A MOMENT. 
          UM, BUT WHERE WE STAND NOW AND IS, UH, THE TOWN OF GREENBURG HAS IN HAND CONTRACT FROM NEW YORK STATE FOR, UH, $500,000 GRANT. 
          THERE'S A $500,000 MATCH, HENCE THE REQUEST THAT I PUT IN FOR MY FIRST CAPITAL BUDGET REQUEST TO MATCH THAT $500,000. 
          I HAVE BEEN VERY COGNIZANT OF WHEN LISTENING TO THIS, THE SPEED WITH WHICH, OR THE LIKELIHOOD WHEN THIS FUNDS WILL BE DISPERSED. 
          I WILL SAY THAT, UM, OUR GOAL IS TO LAUNCH THIS FOURTH PHASE IN NOVEMBER, HAVE CONTRACT THE NEXT CONTRACTOR ON BOARD NOVEMBER. 
          SO THE TIMING IS PERFECT, UM, FOR THIS, UH, MATCH. 
          AND WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE NOVEMBER A POINT WHERE NOVEMBER 4TH PHASE GETS LAUNCHED COULD BE A YEAR PHASE. 
          UM, IT'S GONNA INCLUDE SOME WORK ON THE GROUNDS AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE INTERIOR, UM, WHERE WE NEED IT TO BE, TO BE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. 
          SO ALL IN ALL, I I MEAN, IT'S JUST, IT'S, IT IS TRULY A SUCCESS STORY. 
          IS IT ANTICIPATED THAT WORK WILL CONTINUE INSIDE DURING THE WINTER? ARE THEY GONNA HAVE TO STOP? ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO, UM, WHERE THE SITE IS, WHERE THE, THE BUILDING IS, UM, LEFT IN A MATTER OF MONTHS. 
          MM-HMM. 
           WILL ESSENTIALLY, THE ROOF IS DONE, ALL THE WINDOWS WILL BE DONE, EVERYTHING WILL BE SECURED, AND WORK CAN COMMENCE STARTING NOVEMBER AND RIGHT ON THROUGH. 
          SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH THIS WHOLE, YOU KNOW, UH, RENOVATION PROJECT COST, UM, HOW MUCH FROM, SAY DAY ONE WHEN WE TOOK OVER THE BUILDING TO NOW AND HOW MUCH CAME FROM THE, UH, FROM GRANTS AND HOW MUCH CAME FROM, YOU KNOW, THE TOWN TEXAS? OKAY, SO THE OVERVIEW IS, IS IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THAT COMPLICATED TOTAL POOL OF FUNDING, $3.2 MILLION OF THAT 1.1 IS TOWN OF GREENBURG MATCHES. 
          THE OTHER 2.1 MILLION ARE, UM, GRANTS. 
          SO THE, THE TOWN OF GREENBURG HAS HEAVILY INVESTED IN THIS. 
          AND, UM, WITHOUT THAT, THIS PROJECT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. 
          THE GRANTS WOULD'VE NOT BEEN MATCHED. 
          UM, AND UH, YEAH, BUT ULTIMATELY THAT, THAT IS, UM, THAT MONEY SHOULD ALL BE SPENT, UM, SOMETIME AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR. 
          AND, UH, THE HOUSE WILL JUST LOOK PHENOMENAL. 
          THE GROUNDS WILL, WILL BE LARGELY, UM, COMPLETE. 
          UM, S YEAH. 
          AND FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC, IN CASE THEY DON'T REMEMBER THE 
          [01:10:01]
HOUSE IS, IS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS AT THAT HOUSE THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE, AND ROSHAMBO, UH, PLOTTED THE PATH OF THE ARMY, UH, TO GO AND EVENTUALLY WIN THE REVOLUTION. 
          SO IT BE, IT WAS A CRITICAL MEETING OVER A PERIOD OF WEEKS THAT, UM, THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF OUR HISTORY. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY BASICALLY SAID THE BRITISH THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA GO LEFT AND THEY WENT RIGHT AND WE WON. 
          RIGHT. 
          THERE'S BEEN OTHER COMPARABLE PROJECTS THAT, UM, I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE COMPARABLE HAVE BEEN REHABILITATED FOR SAY 1.5 OR HALF. 
          THAT THAT'S JUST SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. 
          IT IS UNFORTUNATELY AN EXPENSIVE, UH, SPACE TO BE IN. 
          UM, AND I DO THINK THAT THIS IS, UM, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY GONNA BE A RATHER EFFICIENT PROJECT WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE. 
          UM, AND EVEN THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, THEY, WE MET WITH THE CONS GENERAL AND THEY SAID, THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL SITES IN THE COUNTRY. 
          AND THEY GAVE A AND THEY GAVE A BUST, A BRONZE BUST TO GO INTO THE HOUSE ONCE IT'S FINISHED, BRUSH THAT AND, AND MUCH MORE. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND MUCH MORE. 
          IT WILL BE A MUSEUM THAT, AN INTERACTIVE MUSEUM. 
          IT'S VERY EXCITING BECAUSE THE, THE PLANS ARE JUST TERRIFIC AND IT'LL BE OPEN TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST THE TOWN OF THE UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF GREENBURG TO ALL THE VILLAGES OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE. 
          AND THE FRIENDS ARE ALREADY VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IT HAS A, A WHOLE INTERNATIONAL COMPONENT, NOT JUST FRANCE, BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN HISTORY AND AMERICAN HISTORY AND ALSO ITS CONFLUENCE WITH FRENCH HISTORY AND THAT OF THE REST OF THE, I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD DO SOME RESEARCH AND PUT 1776 TYPE, YOU GONNA WRITE THIS DOWN, 1776 TYPE SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF. 
          , YOU'RE NOT WRITING ANYMORE. 
          WHAT HAPPENS? I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT HAS GONE  FRANCIS HAS GONE MAD , HIS IMAGINATION IS RUN WILD, BUT BEN FRANKLIN MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT OF IT. 
          THAT'S WHAT YOU MENTIONED. 
          I DO KNOW THAT THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT CHANGE ORDERS, RIGHT. 
          AND, UM, I DO WANT TO ADDRESS THAT THERE WERE CHANGE ORDERS FROM THE FIRST PHASE AND THE SECOND PHASE. 
          THEY WERE NOT MUCH, WE BROUGHT THEM TO YOUR ATTENTION. 
          UM, THIS PHASE, I'M TOLD BY STEVEN TILLEY'S OFFICE, THE WORD IS IT'S THE MOST VOLATILE PHASE. 
          UM, YOU'RE NOW DOING PERMANENT STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT THIS BUILDING IS, UM, SOLID FOR 200 YEARS. 
          WHEN YOU START UNCOVERING THINGS, UH, CONDITIONS ARISE THAT YOU NEVER COULD HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR. 
          AND IN THEIR PREPARATION OF THE DRAWINGS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO ESSENTIALLY DO SOME OF THE DEMO ACTIVITIES THAT HAPPEN OR HAPPEN IN REAL TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, UM, THERE IS ESSENTIALLY NO WAY THAT THIS PHASE WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE ORDERS. 
          UM, AND ONE, I KNOW THAT, UH, I THINK THERE WAS, I SAW AN EMAIL ABOUT WAS, UH, THE FOUNDATION WALL FOR THIS 1905, UH, WING. 
          UM, YES INDEED. 
          THE, THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT WAS THAT THERE WAS GONNA BE SOME MINOR REPOINTING OF SOME OF THE STONES, AND THEN THAT FOUNDATION WOULD'VE BEEN GOOD AND WE CAN BUILD UP ABOVE IT. 
          UM, AS IT TURNS OUT, WHEN THEY EXCAVATED THE, THAT AREA, UM, THERE WAS SOME BOWING IN OF THE WALL AND IT WAS JUST READILY APPARENT THAT YOU JUST COULD NOT REPOINT THAT. 
          SO, UM, IN FACT, THAT'S GONNA BE TAKEN DOWN AND THERE'S GONNA BE CEMENT BASE, UH, WITH THE STONES ABOVE. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE THAT, UM, TRADITIONAL FEEL, BUT, UH, JUST UNAVOIDABLE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, THAT CHANGE ORDER WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF I THINK 24,000. 
          UM, IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY UNAVOIDABLE. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, THERE WAS NO, UM, OVER, THERE WAS NO FAULT OF OF, OF THE, THE DESIGNER. 
          I THINK IT'S JUST A CONDITION THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST A RUST THOUGHT. 
          THE, I THOUGHT THE CHANGE ORDER WAS MORE THAT THE OVERALL CHANGE ORDER WAS MORE THAN THAT. 
          THERE, THERE WILL WE PROJECT CHANGE ORDERS FOR THIS THIRD PHASE, WHICH, UM, IS A $690,000 PHASE ON THE ORDER OF 90,000 WHEN ALL SAID AND DONE, UM, ULTIMATELY THOSE WILL ALL BE RATIONALIZED BY THE DESIGNER, UM, BEFORE THEY'RE PRESENTED TO YOU. 
          UM, BUT, AND THERE'S ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL GRANTS, RIGHT? THAT WILL OFFSET SOME OF THE, THE COST. 
          MAYBE NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS, BUT OTHER GOING FORWARD. 
          AND IF I MAY, OH, I'M SORRY. 
          GO ON. 
          PLEASE. 
          NO. 
          OKAY, BECAUSE I'M CHANGING A THOUGHT. 
          GO FOR IT. 
          I'M JUST, WELL, I JUST, WE WOULD BE REMISS IN NOT THANKING THE FRIENDS OF DEL HAM BO HOUSE FOR ALL THE 
          [01:15:01]
WORK AND RESEARCH AND EFFORT THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO MAKING THIS DREAM HAPPEN. 
          AND I HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT UP. 
          'CAUSE I CAN'T, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO GIVE, UM, CREDIT TO WHAT CREDIT'S DUE. 
          THANK YOU, GARY, FOR ALL THE STUFF THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WORKING AND PARTNER WITH THE FRIENDS OF ODELL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT YOUR ASSISTANCE AND STUFF THEY WOULDN'T HAVE WITH THE INFORMATION AND WHAT THEY NEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO YOU HAVE DONE, I KNOW YOU'VE PUT ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME FROM THE GRANTS AND ALL THE STUFF THAT YOU WORK ON, SO WE WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO YOU. 
          NO, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          IT'S BEEN A LABOR OF LOVE AND THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, NO, I NEVER THOUGHT WHEN I STARTED WORKING FOR THE TOWN OF GREENBURG, I WOULD HAVE ANY TYPE OF ROLE IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S REALLY AWESOME. 
          AND NOW THAT WE THANK YOU, WE PRAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR COMING. 
          , , EXCUSE SURE. 
          THAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH HERE. 
          I HAVE FOUR REQUESTS. 
          OH, YOU HAVE FOUR LOOKING. 
          OKAY. 
          IT DID WORK. 
          , JUST NOTE, JUST AS A LAST NOTE, THAT STEVE TILLEY IS A FANTASTIC ARCHITECT FROM DOBBS FERRY, I MIGHT ADD. 
          SO I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN HIS, UH, AND DOBS DO, DO GREEN FERRY ARCHITECT DOBS BERRY'S IN GREENBERG. 
          SO IT'S PART OF THE GREENBERG FAMILY. 
          ABSOLUTE. 
          YEAH. 
          I'LL ECHO THE FRIENDS OF ODELL AND, UM, STEVE TILLEY'S FIRM HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. 
          SUPER EASY TO WORK WITH. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND THE CONTRACTOR'S BEEN GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, NUMBER TWO, DOBBS FERRY ROAD. 
          NOW THERE, THIS IS ONE THAT, UM, I WILL TAKE ADVISEMENT FROM OUR COMPTROLLER OF COURSE, AS WELL AS YOU ALL ON TIMING. 
          I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THIS IS GONNA BE SHOVEL READY. 
          AND YOU TELL ME IF YOU WANT THIS HELD BACK OR, UM, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GONNA SHOOT FOR OCTOBER? UH, YOU KNOW, SO REQUEST NUMBER TWO, DOBBS FERRY ROAD SIDEWALK. 
          I DO WANT TO SHARE SCREEN, UM, JUST FOR THOSE THAT ARE NOT IN TUNE WITH, UM, WHAT THIS PROJECT'S ALL ABOUT. 
          'CAUSE GOT A NICE MAP HERE. 
          UM, TOWN OF GREENBURG IS IN RECEIPT OF $1 MILLION OF, OF FEDERAL FUNDING. 
          AND THIS WILL FUND A SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF DOBBS FERRY ROAD FROM ONE 19 TO SORRENTINO PLACE, WHICH IS THE INTERSECTION VERY CLOSE TO METROPOLIS COUNTRY CLUB. 
          I SHOW IT ON THE SCREEN HERE. 
          AND THAT'S THE AREA IN BLUE. 
          UM, THE RED AS A, AS AN ASIDE, IS, UM, A SIDEWALK THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY, UH, BRIGHTVIEW IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR SENIOR HOUSING. 
          SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A, A, A WONDERFUL, UM, I'M NOT GONNA CALL IT A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BECAUSE THEY'RE SEPARATE PROJECTS, IF YOU WILL. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY YOU'VE GOT THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND THE TOWN OF GREENBURG SPEARHEADING AN IMPROVEMENT THAT'S GONNA SPAN THE WHOLE QUARTER. 
          UM, THIS PROJECT, UM, MY, THE CAPITAL, UH, REQUEST IS FOR $500,000. 
          AGAIN, WE HAVE THE $1 MILLION FOR THEN, UH, CONGRESSMAN MON JONES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, WE PROJECT ONE CONGRESSMAN AT THE TIME, AT THE TIME, THEN YES, WE PROJECT A 1.25, UH, MILLION DOLLARS CONSTRUCTION COST AND THERE'S GONNA BE ROUGHLY $200,000 OF CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION. 
          SO A POOL OF 1.5 IS PROJECTED TO BE NEEDED. 
          UM, SO WITH THAT $1 MILLION, HENCE THE $500,000 CAPITAL BUDGET REQUEST. 
          NOW, UM, I'M CONFIDENT THAT THIS PROJECT WILL BE SHOVEL READY, UM, APRIL, MAY, 2025. 
          SO I, I, I'LL TAKE OF COURSE YOUR LEAD AS ALWAYS AND ADVICE AND, UM, IF YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT, UM, IN LIGHT OF THAT, THAT'S WHEN WE WILL NEED THESE FUNDS. 
          UM, APRIL, MAY, 2025, IF YOU THINK IT'S PRUDENT TO HAVE ME PULL THIS BACK IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT MAYBE IF WE WAIT UNTIL THE OCTOBER CYCLE, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE IT WOULD BECOME READY SOMETIME BEFORE APRIL OF OR FIRST QUARTER NEXT YEAR. 
          I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO WAIT. 
          I DON'T, I I I THINK WE SHOULD PUT IT IN NOW BECAUSE, UH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE REALLY HAVE TO START PLANNING IT. 
          IT'S JUST A, A FUNDING CYCLE THING. 
          YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER MAKES THE MOST SENSE. 
          I THINK WE BETTER REVIEW ALL THE APPLICATIONS I COULD, RIGHT? OH, IF YOU CHOOSE TO FUND IT, WHICH I HOPE WE STILL GOTTA LOOK AT EVERYTHING. 
          IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, I I DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO POTENTIALLY PULL THIS OUT AND HOLD IT TILL OCTOBER FOR NEXT TIME AND WE'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          NOT TREMENDOUS. 
          YEAH, WE'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE. 
          PICTURE. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          THAT'S ALL. 
          AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THIS IS NEAR MY HOUSE. 
          NO, NOT AT ALL. 
          . 
          UM, REQUEST NUMBER THREE IS SOLAR TOWN HALL. 
          WE DO HAVE A GRAPHIC HERE. 
          UM, THIS IS A FUNCTION OF THE RFP PROCESS, WHICH WAS QUITE SUCCESSFUL. 
          AND AGAIN, WE HAVE A, A LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDER THAT HAS SUPPLIED THE TOWN WITH A, A DRAFT CONTRACT THAT'S IN REVIEW WITH LEGAL. 
          YOU KNOW, I'M ALL ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, WE WILL PRESENT THAT CONTRACT TO THE TOWN BOARD FOR APPROVAL. 
          IN SHORT, THAT PROJECT, UM, IS A $1.2 MILLION PROJECT AND IT'S IN LINE FOR $400,000 OF STATE REBATE AND $400,000 OF FEDERAL 
          [01:20:01]
REBATE, WHICH LEAVES A TOWN COST OF $400,000. 
          THEREFORE MY CAPITAL BUDGET REQUEST IS FOR $400,000. 
          AND, UM, I DO WANT TO NOTE THIS WOULD BE A PURCHASE. 
          SO THE TOWN WOULD PURCHASE THIS INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH WOULD GO ON BOTH THE ROOF AND IN THE PARKING LOT IN THREE SEPARATE SOLAR GROUND MOUNTS. 
          UM, IN ADDITION TO ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS THAT WE ALL KNOW THAT SOLAR PRODUCES. 
          MM-HMM, , UM, THERE'S A PROJECTED SAVINGS OF $69,000 ANNUALLY. 
          SO WITH A $400,000 EXPENDITURE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN RUN THE NUMBERS. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, YOU KNOW, A FIVE TO SIX YEAR PERIOD, SIX YEAR, SEVEN YEAR PERIOD WHERE IT BUYS ITSELF BACK AND IT'S JUST EARNING MONEY FOR THE DURATION OF THE LIFE CYCLE OF THOSE PANELS, WHICH COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO 25 YEARS. 
          UM, SO IT'S INVESTING IN STOCKS AND  EFFECT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SAID YOU HAD A GRAPHIC. 
          I DO. 
          'CAUSE PEOPLE THAT USE GRAPHICS USUALLY GET THEIR PROJECTS APPROVED. 
           SAYS YOU WERE THE A STRAIGHT FACE, A STRAIGHT YOU HAVE FOR OCTOBER. 
          YOU COULD, THAT'S BRING, THAT'S, THAT'S RIGHT. 
          UH, I HAD A QUESTION FOR CONTROLLER. 
          IF WE'RE, UH, SPENDING LIKE SAY $400,000 IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND IT'S BONDED, HOW MUCH IS THE APPROVED? NO, NO. 
          HOW MUCH, BASICALLY, UH, THE ANNUAL COSTS, YOU KNOW, TO THE TAXPAYERS BECAUSE IF WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING $65,000 PER YEAR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND HAVE THEM RUN AN AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE AND GET THOSE COSTS, BUT IT MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE THAT COSTLY BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING $65,000 A YEAR. 
          YOU BLOW UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          WHICH ONE IS IT? YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M SAYING? WE'RE GETTING REVENUE $65,000 A YEAR. 
          YES. 
          THAT WOULD OFFSET IT. 
          $400,000 COST. 
          IT'D REALLY BE FREE. 
          NO, YOU DON'T. 
          ALMOST, I MEAN, IT WOULD PAY FOR ITSELF VERY QUICKLY. 
          SO THE GRAPHIC SHOWS IS A SERIES OF NEW PANELS ON THE TOWN HALL ROOF, WHICH YOU SEE HERE. 
          AND THEN I'M GOING TO, UM, CYCLE TO THE PARKING LOT. 
          A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE, BUT THESE, UM, DARK POLYGONS REPRESENT GROUND MOUNT SOLAR IN, UH, FOUR LOCATIONS IN THE PARKING LOT. 
          SO WHAT HAPPENS, UM, NEXT YEAR FOR JUNETEENTH, OR WHEN WE GONNA DO THIS SO WE CAN HAVE THE BOUNTY HOUSE FOR THE KIDS? 'CAUSE I'M NOT SEEING , UH, CANCEL THE PROJECT . 
          NO SOLAR CLIMATE CHANGE. 
          SO YOU NEED TO, YOU NEED TO  AN ISSUE. 
          THIS GRAPHIC WHEEL SUPERIMPOSED BOUNTY HOUSE, PLEASE. 
          I NEED TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WELL JUST MAKE SURE THE HEIGHT CAN ACCOMMODATE THE BOUNTY HOUSE. 
          NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S RIGHT. 
          WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT'S RIGHT. 
          WE'RE WE'RE DOING 14 FEET? YES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          WANNA MAKE SURE? OKAY. 
          AND, AND THAT PROJECT, UM, I DO BELIEVE WE'LL BE SHOVEL READY, UM, PROJECTED NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. 
          SO THE TIMING IS GOOD. 
          THIS CYCLE IF APPROVED. 
          OKAY. 
          THE LAST IS, UH, THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU SHIFT IN YOUR CHAIR, YOU'RE FINALLY ADDING UP THE NUMBERS, AREN'T YOU?  CARRIED THE ONE I HELD A COUPLE BACK. 
          . 
          I DIDN'T WANNA OVERWHELM YOU. 
          GARRETT NOTICED THE BODY LANGUAGE. 
          SHE'S LIKE THIS. 
          SHE IS LOOKING AS SCAMS . 
          SO I'M GLAD YOU'RE DONE. 
          IS THAT IT? I HAVE ONE MORE. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THIS ONE, UM, THIS ONE I DO FEEL IS GONNA FALL INTO THE CATEGORY OF ME PULLING IT BACK BASED ON HEARING, UM, THE PROJECTED SPEED WITH WHICH THE CAPITAL FUNDS WOULD BE READY. 
          ALL RIGHT, SO NOW I'M GONNA SHARE A SCREEN, BUT EVEN IF THIS IS PULLED BACK, I DO WANNA SHARE THIS, UM, PROJECT WITH YOU. 
          'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S QUITE IMPORTANT AND IT'S A GOOD ONE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LET'S GET EVERYONE ORIENTED HERE. 
          THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF EAST RUM BROOK PARK, UM, WHICH YOU CAN ONLY SEE FOR A PORTION BASED ON THIS VIEW. 
          UM, BUT TO THE RIGHT WHERE MY CURSOR IS, IS THE 14.1 ACRE PARK EXPANSION IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING, WE'RE CALLING IT THE EAST BROOK PARK EXPANSION. 
          AND THIS IS THE 14.1 ACRES THAT THE TOWN WILL RECEIVE, UH, SOON FROM THE EXISTING PROPERTY OWNER THAT'S DEVELOPING THE MULTI, THE SINGLE FAMILY, UH, SUBDIVISION ON THE REMAINDER OF THE FORMER GOLF COURSE. 
          AND WHAT I WANNA HIGHLIGHT HERE, EL HERE. 
          ELMWOOD GOLF COURSE. 
          ELMWOOD COUNTRY CLUB. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          WHAT I WANNA HIGHLIGHT HERE IS, AGAIN, THIS, THIS TRULY IS A, A PARTNERSHIP, PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. 
          WE'VE BEEN WORKING, UH, AS TOWN STAFF WITH, UH, BOTH THE DEVELOPER AND, UM, THE NEW YORK STATE DOT TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH A NUMBER OF THINGS. 
          AND THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY, UH, SAFETY DRIVEN. 
          UH, THE, THE RAMPS THAT EXIST ARE OFFSET. 
          UM, AS, AS YOU KNOW, THE RAMPS THAT EXIST TO THE SPRINGBROOK PARKWAY, THE SPRINGBROOK, UM, OFF RAMP AND ON RAMP IN A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION OR OFFSET THANK YOU. 
          ALONG DOBBS FERRY ROAD. 
          AND 
          [01:25:01]
IT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT, UM, LINING THOSE RAMPS UP WOULD REPRESENT A MAJOR, UH, SAFETY UPDATE. 
          THERE'S NO SIGNAL AT THOSE, UH, THOSE RAMPS PRESENTLY. 
          AND WHEN YOU FACTOR THOSE, THAT, THAT, THAT EQUATION IN WITH THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT THE DRIVEWAY TO THE EASTBROOK PARK, UM, OPPOSITE THE, THE, THE, THE, THE ON RAMP TO THE SOUTHBOUND, UH, RAMP, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S REALLY, UH, NOT AN IDEAL SITUATION. 
          SO, UM, WE'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH DOT AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY RECEPTIVE TO THE POINT WHERE THEY HAVE A TEAM THAT'S WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. 
          IT'S A TWO YEAR BUILD OUT. 
          THE GREEN IS A CRUISE SKETCH THAT I DID HERE, BUT IT REPRESENTS WHERE THE SOUTH ON RAMP WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY. 
          SO I'M GOING TO HAVE MY CURSOR HERE AND, AND IMAGINE THAT BEING, UM, DECOMMISSIONED AND THAT THE RAMP WOULD ACTUALLY COME OUT TO THIS POINT THAT WOULD LINE UP WITH THE OFF RAMP, UM, TO DOBBS FERRY ROAD, WHICH WOULD STAY MM-HMM, , UM, IT'S A TERRIBLE INTERSECTION THE WAY IT IS NOW. 
          ANYWAY. 
          IT'S JUST VERY DANGEROUS, I THINK. 
          OH, YES. 
          WHICH IS WHY THEY WANNA CHANGE IT. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD, I NEARLY KILLED MYSELF PUTTING OUR LINE SIGNS OUT. 
          JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. 
          AND I NEARLY KILLED MYSELF PICKING THEM BACK UP. 
          . 
          UM, SO THE GOAL, YES, THE, OH, I HAD, I'M TRYING TO WAIT, GO AHEAD. 
          BECAUSE I THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. 
          JUST NOW, JUST A FEW MORE POINTS HERE. 
          SO THE GOAL WILL BE TO LINE THESE RAMPS UP IN ADDITION TO LINING THESE RAMPS UP, THIS OFF, UM, THIS OFF RAMP WILL BE ENHANCED. 
          IT WILL ACTUALLY HAVE TWO LEFT TURN LANES AND A RIGHT TURN LANE WHERE RIGHT NOW I WANT TO SAY IT'S, IT'S JUST ONE AND ONE. 
          UM, NOW, SORRY. 
          IN ADDITION, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DECOMMISSIONING THE EXISTING, UH, EAST BROOK PARK ENTRANCE, WHICH I BELIEVE WE'LL JUST HAVE A GATE PUT ACROSS IT FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY. 
          AND HAVING A NEW ENTRANCE ROUGHLY WHERE MY CURSOR IS OPPOSITE, AND THIS IS CARLSON'S NURSERY TO ORIENT, TO HELP ORIENT. 
          AND THAT NEW ENTRANCE, UM, WOULD HAVE A LEFT TURN POCKET IN. 
          IT WOULD NOT HAVE A SIGNAL. 
          UM, AND ALL THIS WOULD BE APPROVED BY DOT, BUT THAT WOULD THEN BRING VEHICLES INTO THE NEW PARK. 
          AND THEN THE CONNECTION POINT, UM, WOULD, WOULD GO ROUGHLY HERE WHERE MY CURSOR IS. 
          UM, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THAT ROAD WOULD NAVIGATE ACROSS THESE 14 ACRES IS UP TO, UM, TO BE DETERMINED BASED ON, UM, THE PARKS DEPARTMENT WORKING WITH BBS, WHO'S CURRENTLY DOING SOME CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLANS, WHAT TYPE OF BALL FIELDS, WHAT TYPE OF, UM, UH, PARK FOR DISABLED PERSONS COULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THIS PARK. 
          SO THAT'S, UM, SOMETHING THAT THE PARKS ADVISORY BOARD AND, AND JOE LUCAS ARE ALL WORKING VERY HARD ON. 
          UM, BUT WE'RE ALL COORDINATING THIS WITH THE DEVELOPER WHO ACTUALLY IS VERY COGNIZANT OF, OF COURSE, OF THE, THE, THE PARK DONATION. 
          AND THEY'VE EVEN GONE SO FAR AS TO DESIGN THE ENTRANCE IN AND THEY'RE SAYING, WELL, LET US KNOW, GREENBURG WHAT YOU WANT. 
          DO YOU, IS THIS ROAD GONNA KICK LEFT? IS IT GONNA GO STRAIGHT ON IN? UM, SO YEAH, SO THIS IS JUST THE OPPOSITE VIEW, BUT YEAH, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE A DIFFERENT VIEW. 
          THIS IS, YEAH. 
          SO, UM, GETTING BACK TO THE CAPITAL BUDGET, UM, THE STATE WILL BE FINANCING THE LINING UP OF THESE RAMPS, WHICH, UM, COULD BE ANYWHERE, UH, $2 MILLION. 
          CONSTRUCTION PLUS COULD BE LESS. 
          UM, BUT IT'S, IT'S A SIZABLE, UM, ENDEAVOR THAT THE STATE'S UNDERTAKING. 
          UH, THEY'RE UNDERTAKING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FUNDING. 
          SO THEY REALLY, THEY'RE STEPPING UP MAJOR. 
          THEY, THEY UNDERSTAND THE NEED, THE SAFETY NEED HERE. 
          UM, DEVELOPER OF COURSE IS DONATING, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT 14.81 ACRES, YOU KNOW, AT EVALUATION OF WHO KNOWS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. 
          UM, THE DEVELOPER, UM, IS ALSO COMMITTED TO BUILDING A ROADWAY IN DESIGNING AND BUILDING A ROADWAY IN. 
          AND THE TOWN, MY, THE CAPITAL BUDGET THAT I'M BRINGING TO THE TABLE RIGHT NOW IS, UH, $700,000 TO FACILITATE THE COST OF THE SIGNAL. 
          THAT WOULD ACTUALLY JUST BE A CHECK THAT'S GIVEN TO THE STATE, UM, THAT COVERS THE COST OF THAT SIGNAL. 
          UM, SO IN ALSO IN LIGHT OF THE TIMING CONSIDERATIONS THAT I'M HEARING, UM, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT SIGNAL IS GONNA BE SHOVEL READY UNTIL AT THE EARLIEST, UM, LATE NEXT YEAR. 
          SO I AM INCLINED OF COURSE, TO, TO PULL THIS ONE BACK. 
          BUT I JUST THOUGHT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS ALL ON YOUR RADAR BECAUSE IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT PROJECT AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT EVERYONE'S REALLY WORKING TOGETHER. 
          UM, AND THIS IS PROBABLY ONE THAT WE WILL PULL BACK UNLESS THE STATE SAYS THEY NEED THE FUNDING TRANSMITTED EARLIER, JUST SO THEY HAVE THAT GUARANTEE. 
          I'M TEMPTED TO BELIEVE, I, I, I BELIEVE A RESOLUTION COMMITTING THE FUNDS WILL BE ALL THEY NEED AND THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY HOLD BACK THE, THE CAPITAL BUDGET REQUEST. 
          UM, BUT I'LL VERIFY THAT IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO, 
          [01:30:01]
MAYBE WE COULD, UM, WHEN WE ADOPT THE 2024 CAPITAL BUDGET, MAYBE WE COULD DO, AS YOU SUGGESTED, A RESOLUTION COMMITTING, UH, THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, MAYBE APPROVING THIS FOR THE 2025 BUDGET. 
          IN FACT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS, UM, YOU KNOW, SINCE RICH IS VOLUNTARILY, UH, DEFERRING SOME ITEMS TO 2025, MAYBE WHEN WE PASS THE 2024 CAPITAL BUDGET, WE SHOULD, WE SHOULD BASICALLY, UM, DO A RESOLUTION AND APPROVE ALL THE REQUESTS THAT WE'VE ALL AGREED COULD BE DEFERRED TO 2025. 
          IT BECAUSE DOING THE ANNUAL THEN NO BUDGET, WE GONNA DO IT AS PART OF THE OPERATING BUDGET WITH THE BUDGET. 
          NO, BUT I'M JUST SAYING WE CAN'T, BUT WE'RE GONNA PRE-APPROVE THEM NOW. 
          WE COULD. 
          WELL WE KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS COULD BE LIKE 80% OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET. 
          I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT ON OUR END. 
          I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA COME UP WITH THE STANDARD. 
          YEAH, THAT WOULDN'T, AND, AND GARRETT'S SAYING, AND GARRETT'S GONNA REMIND US OF THIS PRESENTATION THAT WE SAID WE WERE GONNA DO IT ANYWAY. 
          SO , RIGHT. 
          SO WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT THIS ELMWOOD WILL, WILL BE COMPLETED? LIKE WHEN WILL THESE IMPROVEMENTS BE, YOU KNOW, BE FINISHED IF YOU'D BE GUESSING? SO I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BREAK GROUND ON THE MEDIATION TOWARDS THE END OF THIS YEAR. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S GONNA BE ONGOING THROUGH 2025. 
          AND, UM, I THINK THAT THEY WILL LOOK TO, UM, WHILE THEY'RE OUT THERE DOING JUST LAND DISTURBANCE, 'CAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE PEELING AWAY SOIL THAT THAT NEEDS TO ACTUALLY GO OFFSITE. 
          UM, THAT HAS SOME OF THE REMNANTS OF THE GOLF COURSE, UM, PESTICIDE USE. 
          UM, I BELIEVE THEY'LL WANT TO ACTUALLY MAKE THIS IMPROVEMENT FOR THE ROAD POTENTIALLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THAT. 
          SO THIS ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT COULD BE MADE BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN 2025 AND I THINK CONCURRENTLY, UM, THEY WILL BE LOOKING TO SAME PREMISE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POWER LINES. 
          UM, WHILE THEY'RE CLEANING UP THAT SIDE OF THE SITE. 
          IT MAKES ALL THE SENSE TO HAVE THEIR STORM WATER PERMITS IN, YOU KNOW, IN HAND AND START BUILDING THE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AND WHATNOT. 
          SO I DO THINK THEY'RE GONNA LOOK TO BE ACTIVE, UM, TO THE BENEFIT OF THE TOWN ON THIS 14.1 ACRES NEXT YEAR, AS WELL AS DOING SOME INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROAD WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE, THE 113 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, UH, NEXT YEAR. 
          I MEAN, YOU, YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT SEE A FOUNDATION FOR A HOME IN THE GROUND TILL SOMETIME IN 2026. 
          THAT'S MACRO LEVEL TIMELINE OF WHAT I THINK WE'RE AT, RIGHT WHERE I THINK WE'RE AT. 
          THERE'LL BE BUILDING PERMIT FEES IN 2025 AND 2026. 
          IT'S A BIG PROJECT. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? SOMETHING, ANYTHING ELSE'S? OKAY. 
          BEFORE YOU LEAVE, AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A HARD STOP AT SEVEN 30, THERE ARE THREE THINGS IN HERE THAT BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR TWO DEPARTMENTS. 
          AS AGAIN, AS I THINK EVERYBODY'S AWARE, WORK VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER. 
          IF I COULD, AND I KNOW WE'LL PROBABLY COME BACK NEXT TIME REAL QUICK. 
          SO THREE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. 
          ONE IS JACKSON AVENUE AND SPRAIN ROAD INTERSECTION. 
          WE KNOW YEARS AGO THERE WAS SOME FUNDING THAT, UH, WAS NOT USED TO STRAIGHTEN THE ROAD. 
          IT WAS BECAME A VERY EXPENSIVE PROJECT. 
          UH, THERE'S ONE CAPITAL, UH, LINE HERE TO EXPLORE A ROUNDABOUT, UH, IN THAT AREA. 
          SO THAT'S ONE MM-HMM. 
          , THAT'S QUICK FUNDING NOT USED. 
          I THOUGHT WE HAD TO GIVE BACK THAT FUNDING. 
          WE DID. 
          THAT WAS ORIGINAL, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          COURSE RATNER. 
          THE SECOND ONE IS, UH, A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT FORT HILL ROAD AND ALEY ROAD. 
          UH, GARRETT'S ALREADY WORKED HARD TO GET THE SURVEYOR ON BOARD. 
          THIS WOULD BE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL. 
          ON THAT NOTE, RICH, I DID WANT TO, UM, HIGHLIGHT FOR THE BOARD THAT THERE'S CD ONE. 
          I BELIEVE THIS MEETING, UH, TOMORROW NIGHT, UH, WOULD APPROVE PROVIDENT DTS TO DESIGN THAT SIGNAL. 
          UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S BEFORE YOU TOMORROW AND IT, HOW MUCH IS THAT ANTICIPATED TO BE FOR THE SIGNAL ITSELF? THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, UH, 650 AND THE STUDY DID DESIGN, UH, THE DESIGN WORK. 
          UM, THAT RESOLUTION IS 65,000. 
          THAT'S DESIGNED BID PACKAGE, UM, EVERYTHING TO GET THAT PROJECT SHOVEL ROAD. 
          AND THE LAST ONE IS A CONTINUATION OF THE SIDEWALK PROJECTS. 
          UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT FORT HILL ROAD, OLD TARA TOWN ROAD AND TAX THE ROAD AT THIS POINT AS THE NEXT PHASES OF SIDEWALKS AND THE CONTINUATION OF WHAT THE TOWN'S BEEN DOING. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND THE REST WILL BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK JUST TO COMPLIMENT THAT AS WELL. 
          UH, CD TWO I HAVE ON IS APPROVING THE, UM, THE LOWEST BIDDER FOR THE SIX, UH, SURVEY SEGMENTS. 
          [01:35:01]
AND TWO OF THOSE ARE ROADS THAT, UH, RICH JUST NAMED. 
          AND THAT'S, UH, THE OLD ARMY, I'M SORRY, UM, THE FORT HILL ROAD SEGMENT FROM UNDERHILL TO LONGVIEW, UH, AS WELL AS TAXI ROAD. 
          AND, UM, THAT CAME IN AT I BELIEVE 77,000, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY LOWER THAN I WOULD'VE IMAGINED. 
          AND, UM, AND ALSO THERE'S, UH, DEVELOPER FUNDING THAT'S GONNA PAY FOR LIKELY HALF OF THAT. 
          SO, UM, THOSE SURVEYS WILL WORK TOWARDS WHAT RICH JUST DISCUSSED, WHICH IS, UH, FUTURE POTENTIAL, UM, CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS. 
          THE FORT HILL IS, COULD BE REALLY VERY EXCITING BECAUSE REALLY OPENS UP, UM, UM, FOR THE A BC STREETS HOLE, UH, AREA FOR CHILDREN TO WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL, UM, TO GET TO, UH, BUS STOPS. 
          I MEAN, IT REALLY, IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE WEST HEART STILL ON THE SIDEWALK. 
          IT'S A REAL GAME CHANGER FOR A WHOLE, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          YEAH, NO WORRIES. 
          BEFORE YOU WRAP UP, CAN I ASK A QUESTION AS A, A NEWBIE COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, THE, THE QUESTION I GET THE MOST ABOUT FROM PEOPLE I, I KNOW IS ABOUT POTHOLES. 
          MM-HMM. 
           BECAUSE THEY ARE TO THE POINT OF, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED, BUT THEY SEEM TO GET DEEPER AND BIGGER AS YEARS PASSED THAN THEY USED TO BE. 
          AND I KNOW SOME, YOU KNOW, WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME ROADS AND THE, THE VILLAGES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME ROADS, THE TOWN AND THE COUNTY STATE, WHATEVER. 
          BUT DO WE SURVEY OUR TOWN ROADS? WE DO. 
          AND THIS YEAR IS THE TIME WHERE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO RESURVEY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE DID A SURVEY IN 2017. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , THEY DID THE LIDAR, THEY WENT AND HIT EVERY ROAD, INCLUDING THE STATE ROADS. 
          THEY EVEN HIT THE BRONX RIVER PARKWAY. 
          SO WE HAVE THAT REPORT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , WE'VE BEEN WORKING OFF THAT. 
          UH, IT'S TIME TO OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S, IT'S BAD. 
          YEAH, IT'S REALLY BAD. 
          AND THERE WAS A NUMBER GIVEN, I BELIEVE IT WAS 5 MILLION A YEAR TO KEEP UP WITH. 
          WE HAVEN'T KEPT THAT PACE, UH, ESPECIALLY THE COVID YEAR. 
          RIGHT. 
          THAT KIND OF BLEW US UP. 
          UM, BUT WE DO WORK OFF THAT REPORT YET. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN CAN I JUST, I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE PROCESS. 
          SO I KNOW YOU WANNA GET THE PROCESS. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, HOW THEY ARE, HOW IT'S ADDRESSED, LIKE WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR FILLING AND PAVING, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE I JUST SAY IN MY, WHERE I LIVE IN MY VILLAGE, IT'S VERY TEMPORARY AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT, IT JUST DETERIORATES SO QUICKLY IF YOU DON'T POTHOLES, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , RIGHT. 
          'CAUSE YOU GOT THAT FREEZE SAW, RIGHT. 
          WATER GETS IN THERE AND JUST BLOWS IT UP. 
          IF IT GETS A, A ROAD GETS TO A POINT WHERE YOU HAVE TO MILL AND PAVE IT. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , IF YOU DON'T DO THAT AND YOU'RE PATCHING RIGHT, THE WATER'S GONNA SEEP IN THERE AND IT DOESN'T LAST. 
          AND IF YOU PUT OFF MILLING AND PAVING AT SOME POINT A ROW GETS TO A POINT WHERE IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. 
          AND, AND I THINK THAT ALSO THE MILLING AND PAVING IS DICTATED BY THE SEASON. 
          SO AS SOON AS IT GETS COLD RIGHT, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. 
          BUT, AND THEN ALSO, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, POTHOLES ARE DURING THE COLD WEATHER MONTHS ARE FILLED, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY MEANT TO, IT'S COLD PATCH TEMPORARY. 
          THE COLD PATCHES TEMPORARY. 
          WE USE A HOT BOX TO TRY TO RIGHT. 
          SO IT, IT TAKES CARE OF THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE, BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA, IT'S THE COLD PATCHES DON'T LAST. 
          IT'S THIS SPRING IS POTHOLE SEASON IS THE FLOWER OF NEW YORK. 
          THE, THE HOT PATCH HASN'T WORKED THAT MUCH THAT THE, THE EQUIPMENT WASN'T THAT GREAT. 
          UM, AGAIN, I, I'LL GIVE A A PRAISE TO FRANK MODO AGAIN, WE'VE GOT A NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT COMING IN THAT I THINK WILL WORK A LOT BETTER. 
          I THINK THE ONE THING YOU'LL SEE MISSING FROM THE CAPITAL THAT YOU COULD LOOK THROUGH BEFORE NEXT WEEK IS THERE'S ONLY ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WE'RE ASKING FOR. 
          MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND AGAIN, I GIVE COMPLETE THANKS TO FRANK MODO FOR GOING THROUGH AND REALLY REWORKING THE EQUIPMENT AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT. 
          AND IT'S A DIFFERENT SET OF EYES ON THAT. 
          UM, BUT THE ROADS ARE A BIG ISSUE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WE GET EVERY OTHER DAY WE'RE GETTING REQUESTS FOR I KNOW. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S THE BIGGEST LIKE CONSTITUENT ITEM. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU MENTIONED ALSO TO ME, YOU KNOW, A WHILE BACK THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO BEFORE ENVIRONMENTALLY THEY, THE, THE QUALITY OF THE PAVEMENT WAS BETTER. 
          THINGS ARE DEFINITELY DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT LASTED LONGER. 
          AND NOW WITHIN A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, LAWS, THE, THE, THE THEY'RE, THEY'RE USING BASICALLY THINNER. 
          UH, THE THICKNESS OF THE REPAVING IS, IS LESS, I THINK. 
          WELL YOU COULD, AGAIN, IT'S COST. 
          SO IF YOU PUT DOWN AN INCH AND A HALF OR TWO INCHES, OBVIOUSLY EVERY TIME YOU GET A LITTLE BIT DEEPER, DEEPER IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY. 
          UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THINGS HAVE CHANGED OVER THE LAST YEAR. 
          SO NOW YOU GET, WELL THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIXES TOO. 
          THE ENVIRONMENT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. 
          THE STORMS AND THE DAMAGE STORM, WE CALLED OUR WEATHER SERVICE AND THIS IS PROBABLY ABOUT A MONTH AGO. 
          AND WE HAD RECEIVED IN 12 MONTH PERIOD OF TIME, 64 INCHES OF RAIN. 
          AND THAT 12 MONTH PERIOD, 
          [01:40:01]
THE STORMS WERE, IT JUST, IT'S, IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP AND EVERYBODY'S COMPLAINING ABOUT WATER AND DRAINAGE. 
          SO IT'S ABOUT THE PAVEMENT, BASICALLY. 
          THE REEF PAVING LASTS MAYBE FIVE OR SIX YEARS NOW. 
          NO MAJOR. 
          NO, IT'S, NO, IT'S, IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN THAT. 
          IT DOESN'T LAST THAT LONG. 
          BUT YOU GOTTA REMEMBER AS WE DO HAVE A TWO YEAR CONTRACT, SO WE'LL BE COMING TO THE BOARD, HOPEFULLY THE NEXT MEETING TO UH, CONTINUE WITH THAT TWO YEAR CONTRACT WITH MONTESANO BROTHERS. 
          SO WE'LL BE HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING. 
          THAT'S INTERESTING. 
          WHEN I'M BICYCLING AROUND, I'M NOTICING ROADS THAT WE PAVED, YOU KNOW, FOUR YEARS AGO OR FIVE YEARS AGO. 
          AND THEN I START SEEING LITTLE CRACKS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          IT'S LIKE REALLY IS ARE YOU DOING A SURVEY WHEN YOU'RE GOING SURVEY ON YOUR BICYCLE? GOOD. 
          DO YEP. 
          EVERY DAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          HE SHOOTS A C CLICK FIX. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I REALIZE. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          REALLY APPRECIATE. 
          IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'VE NOTICED THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE COMPANIES THAT WE USE AREN'T THAT GREAT. 
          YEAH. 
          I GOT, ARE WE SUPPOSED HAVE TO TALK ABOUT BIRCHWOOD LIGHT? OKAY. 
          YES. 
          THE CONED. 
          THE CONED THAT'S ON THERE. 
          IT'S ON FOR NEXT WEEK. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          AND SECONDLY, THE TREES THAT HAVE BEEN BUNDLED, HAVE THEY BEEN PLANTED AROUND THE BIRCHWOOD WATER TOWER? 'CAUSE THEY'VE BEEN LOCATED, WE'RE WAITING FOR THE CODE 53 TO BE DONE AND THEY WOULD BE PLANTED. 
          THOUSAND 24. 
          THE CODE 50, THE 50 CALL FOR YOU DIG? HUH? CALL. 
          THEY'VE BEEN OUT THERE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND YEAH. 
          THE LAST TIME THEY WERE OUT FOR A WEEK, THEY DIDN'T SURVIVE. 
          NO. 
          THEY, I THINK AARON LOOKED AT THEM. 
          HE SAID THEY'RE STILL, THEY'RE STILL OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          PAUL. 
          PAUL. 
          PAUL. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          I WANNA MAKE A, A MOTION TO, UH, GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, UH, FOR THE PURPOSES OF, UM, DEALING WITH PERSONNEL MATTERS, EXECUTIVE SESSION, LEGAL MATTERS. 
          UM, IT'S PERSONNEL MATTERS INVOLVING SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS AND THERE'S NOTHING TO GIVE PEOPLE HINTS. 
          I BELIEVE THIS IS APPROPRIATE. 
          I HATE TO WATCH WHY YOU KEEP SAYING THAT. 
          I YOU KEEP GIVING THE IMPRESSIONS. 
          THE ONE THAT WANTED TO HAVE THE WHOLE DE DISCUSSION IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. 
          NO, THERE WAS ONE PART THAT I, I WAS NOT SURE ABOUT THE LEGAL, WE CAN'T TELL IT WAS A LEGAL ISSUE. 
          WHAT DID YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM ABOUT DEL LET ME, LET ME SAY, I'M SORRY. 
          CAN WE HAVE A CALL AT SEVEN 30? I KNOW FALSELY CALL, I SHOULD FEEL THAT IF WE SAID WE'RE DISCUSSING BUDGET, WE'RE IF WE GAVE PEOPLE LIKE AHY EVERY WEEK, WE HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATION. 
          IT'S THE SAME, IT'S THE SAME CONVERSATION. 
          I'LL TELL ATTORNEY, EXPLAINED THAT. 
          EXPLAIN WHAT WE HAVE. 
          WE, OKAY.
