CFA Presentation and a review of the June 7, 2021 agenda.
A
Okay,
welcome
everyone
to
the
june
2nd
caucus
and
work
session
of
albany
common
council.
I'm
kelly
kimbrough
president.
For
the
record.
We
have
president
council
members,
o'brien
doshay
fahey,
ballerin,
hoey
love
johnson.
Mr
johnson
looks
like
he's
still
trying
to
connect
miss
frederick
along
with
council
president
ellis
staff,
research,
council,
g.r
fuchardo
clerk,
danielle,
gillespie,
corp,
council,
brett
williams,.
A
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Along
with
folks
from
capitalized
all
of
me,
we
have
renee
mcfarland
and
ashley
mall.
Who
will
be
doing
the
consolidated
funding
applications
process
for
us.
We
didn't
get
through
it
last
year
because
covet
so
this
year.
The
process
is
starting
now,
so
what
I'll
do
is
we
got?
Everybody
president
accounted
for
knowledge,
at
least
so
with
that
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
turn
it
over
to
both
renee
and
ashley.
To
start
your
presentation.
D
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
tonight.
My
name
is
renee
mcfarland.
I
am
the
new
senior
economic
developer
with
capitalized
albany
corporation,
and
I
am
going
to
be
working
on
the
consolidated
funding
application
process
this
year.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
for
giving
us
some
time
to
address
the
council
and,
as
we
have
in
the
past,
capitalize
albany
will
be
taking
on
the
role
of
serving
as
the
local
clearinghouse
for
all
potential
projects.
D
During
round
11
of
the
cfa
process,
we
manage
and
facilitate
a
large
number
of
applications
annually,
and
we
help
the
applicants
make
their
way
through
the
process,
many
of
which
receive
deserved.
Funding
applications
did
open
up
on
may
10th.
So
with
the
time
given
at
this
meeting,
we're
right
on
track
to
get
things
moving
well
and
organized.
D
So
at
this
evening's
meeting
I'm
going
to
give
you
all
the
necessary
information
your
constituents
will
need
to
get
the
process
started
and
provide
information
on
what
resources
and
services
capitalized
albany
can
provide.
Regarding
the
potential
projects.
The
process
is
mostly
the
same
as
in
years
past.
D
D
And
you
will
find
the
available
resources
guide
and
webinar
recordings
for
the
different
specific
programs
so
for
as
far
as
capitalize
albany's
role
same
as
in
years
past.
If
someone
wants
to
explore
a
potential
project,
will
be
the
local
resource
center
to
contact
and
serve
as
the
clearinghouse
to
help
facilitate
projects
we'll
work
with
you
and
your
constituents
to
help
ensure
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
submit
their
projects
to
the
regional
council
and
state
agencies
that
they
can
make
their
funding
determinations.
D
D
We
will
collect
those
forms
from
all
of
the
applicants
that
are
seeking
letters
of
support
from
the
mayor's
office
or
for
whose
applications
require
resolution
from
the
common
council.
There
are,
there
are
opportunities
or
there
may
be,
a
need
for
capitalized
albany
to
serve
as
the
lead
applicant
on
specific
projects.
We'll
also
provide
assistance
to
external
applicants.
D
D
D
D
They
do
have
flexibility
for
applicants
to
request
funds
to
help
alleviate
the
impacts
of
covid19,
but
those
requests
have
to
still
be
tied
to
the
intention
of
each
program.
So
if
there's
an
extra,
you
know
an
extra
little
bit
of
funding
that
someone
needs
to
make
their
business
more
covet
friendly
or
things
like
that,
then
they
can
request
the
additional
money
for
it,
but
the
crux
of
the
application
still
needs
to
fall
within
those
programs.
D
Those
were
those
are
the
80
percent
match,
20
grant
programs
typically
for
building
things,
they're,
actually
going
to
divide
those
into
quarterly
rolling
application
periods,
so
they'll
consider
applications
submitted
up
until
june.
30Th
is
the
first
period,
the
second
one
is
july,
30th
and
then
september
30th,
so
there's
still
150
million
dollars
up
for
grabs
in
that
program.
D
D
So
with
all
that
being
said,
I'm
sorry.
I
think
I
ran
through
it
quite
quickly,
but
I
my
understanding
is
that
a
lot
of
you
have
been
through
this
before
so
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
of
your
time.
The
important
dates
and
deadlines.
So
new
york
state
economic
development
council
did
hold
a
workshop
earlier
today.
D
Thank
you
and
that
I
I
hope
that
someone
was
able
to
attend
that
we
certainly
were
on
it.
So
we've
got
all
the
information
from
it.
If
you
need
anything,
we
have
selected
june
30th
as
a
deadline
for
priority
projects
from
outside
stakeholders
to
be
submitted
to
capitalize
albany
for
resolutions
and
letter
of
support
requests.
E
F
Because,
like
in
past
years,
we
have
to
be
able
to
provide
the
resolutions
for
the
application
deadline
so
that
the
applicants
can
submit
those
applications,
so
they
can
submit
those
resolutions
for
the
deadline.
So
we
have
to
have
the
council
review
the
project
descriptions
based
on
the
project
intake
form
that
we
collect
by
the
council
meeting
that's
immediately
prior
so
july.
19Th
meeting
is,
I
believe,
the
last
council
meeting
that
you
have
prior
to
the
july,
30th
deadline.
F
So
that's
why
we
have
it
teed
up
to
be
presented.
Then
we
will
get
the
intake
forms
on
the
30th
that
will
have
as
much
project
information
that
has
been
fully
developed
for
the
application
that
is
available
at
that
time
on
the
30th
of
june,
and
then
the
plan
would
be
to
remit
those
forms
to
the
council,
the
very
next
day
as
soon
as
we
have
them
all
collected
and
compiled
into
a
pdf,
so
that
you'd
have
as
much
time
as
possible
to
review
those
projects
before
the
the
july
19th
deadline.
F
We
would
all
we
would
obviously,
as
the
schedule
indicates,
we'd
prov
we'd
provide
an
overview
of
those
projects
at
the
caucus
meeting
immediately
prior.
I
think
that's
on
the
14th
of
july,
so
that
we'd
sort
of
tee
that
up
as
we've
said
in
years
past,
these
projects
are
are
screaming
towards
the
deadline,
so
they're
not
always
fully
baked
by
that
june
30th.
But
that
is
the
farthest.
We
can
push
that
out
and
be
able
to
have
us
time
to
digest
the
applications
to
provide
those
letters
of
support.
F
F
Sorry,
it's
yeah.
It's
it's
been.
You
know
in
assets
and
spend
two
years
since
we
didn't
have
the
process
last
year,
so
all
of
us
are
sort
of
feel
like
we're,
starting
from
square
one
a
little
bit
but
yeah
it's
it's
we're
trying
to
do
it
where
we
get
it
to,
as
you
know,
with
as
much
time
as
possible,
but
that
the
projects
are
still
somewhat
baked.
You
know
as
much
as
they
can
be,
but
with
the
deadline
of
the
30th
and
them
needing
to
upload
the
resolutions,
there's
really
no
other
way
to
do
it.
A
I
think
that's
the
shortest
this.
This
meeting
with
them
has
been
in
the
time
I've
been
on
the
council.
There
are
typically
more
questions
and,
of
course,
we're
in
person
for
those
meetings,
so
it
lent
itself
to
discussing
the
stuff
better.
So
with
that,
I
will
just
jump
into
our
agenda
for
the
meeting.
Is
there
anyone
here
that
wasn't
here
when
we
started?
B
A
A
E
E
H
A
A
A
A
E
A
E
E
A
J
No
well,
I
I
decide
to
table
it
because
I
I
figured
the
conversation
wasn't
going
in
the
right
direction
and
my
community
was
very
concerned.
I
was
getting
texts
and
emails
from
my
community
and
they
were
very,
very
concerned.
So
that's
why
I
tabled
it,
but
are
we
going
to
go
backwards
or
we're
going
to
move
forwards
with
this?
J
A
E
People
are
asking
me
what
happened,
and
I
don't
have
answers
for
for
them
and
and
now
they're
asking
questions
about
whether
or
not
this
is
going
to
be
voted
on,
and
I
I
hope
you
guys
can
understand
being
that.
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
voted
on
the
last
time
right
up
until
the
time
miss
love
made
the
motion,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
people
felt
that
way
that
I'm
I'm
wondering
what
level
of
confidence
I
should
have
that
this
is
actually
going
to
be
up
for
a
vote.
J
First
of
all,
I
thought
that
I
told
jr
that
I
want
to
discuss
this
didn't
want
it
to
come
back
up
right
now,
because
the
community
is
very
concerned,
but
I
talked
to
j.r
and
I
think
I
talked
to
maybe
kelly
that
bring
this
up
at
another
day.
I
didn't
think
this.
This
was
coming
up
monday
because
I
still
have
concerns.
K
Yeah
yeah.
Thank
you.
You
know.
The
council
president
made
a
very
clear
last
meeting
and
I
thought
his
message
resonated
with
many
many
members.
You
know
the
residents
of
the
city
already
deserve
a
up
or
down
vote
on
this
and
right
now,
quite
frankly,
when
I
speak
to
many
of
the
residents
been
following
this
discussion,
essentially
it's
kind
of
embarrassing.
It
seemed
like
we
don't
know
what
we're
talking
about
what
we're
doing
it's
like
this
is
the
first
time
something
like
this
is
coming
up.
It's
really
unfortunate.
K
I
don't
want
to
go
down
a
rapid
hole
again,
and
I
think
that
I
support
what
the
council
president
said:
the
residents
of
the
city,
whether
you
support
it
or
not,
vote
your
conscience
vote
your
conscience
and
I
think
that
there's
nothing
wrong
with
it
passing
eight
to
five
or
maybe
fifteen,
to
zero
again,
there's
nothing
in
the
law
that
states
that
has
to
be
a
perfect
vote
for
a
task.
I
think
people
need
to
really
vote
their
conscience
if
you
believe
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
then
vote.
K
Yes,
if
you
believe,
is
the
wrong
thing
to
do,
then
vote
no,
but
enough
of
this
amendment
and
this
oh,
if
you
change
this,
if
you
did
this,
if
you
did
that,
I
think
the
time
is
over.
You
know.
I
think
it's
time
that
we
provide
the
residents
of
the
city
of
albany
what
we
were
elected
to
do
to
make
these
tough
decisions
we
support
it
or
not.
The
residents
of
the
city
deserve
a
up
or
down
vote
enough,
for
this
has
been
going
on
for
weeks
weeks
weeks
weeks.
K
So
I
believe-
and
I
think
I'm
really
getting
frustrated
about
this-
because
it's
it's
really
embarrassing.
The
common
council,
the
rest
of
this
city,
deserve
up
and
up
or
down
vote.
We
cannot
keep
tabling
this
table
in
this
table.
It
is
enough
for
this
amendments
and
whatnot.
If
you
believe
that
the
police
department
should
have
tear
gas,
then
vote,
no,
if
you
believe
they
shouldn't,
have
then
vote
yes
on
the
council
members
resolution
and
enough
of
this
hostile
comments
at
the
fifth
hour
on
members.
Legislation.
K
Introducing
a
piece
of
legislation
is
nothing
that
you
could
do
overnight.
It
takes
some
time
it
takes
some
thought
and
at
the
fifth
hour
to
say
I
will
make
an
amendment
to
the
sponsors
legislation.
It's
it's.
It's
really
concerning
and
I'm
not
sure
if
leadership
want
to
go
down
that
rabbit
hole,
because
there
are
candidates
who
are
watching
what
we're
doing.
K
There
are
future
council
members
who
are
watching
what
we're
doing,
and
I
think
they're
taking
notes,
and
I
I
truly
believe
enough
of
this
table-
and
this
I
believe,
with
all
that's
going
on
in
our
city.
We
deserve
to
vote
this
down,
to
vote
this
up
and
make
a
decision
to
focus
on
the
serious
issues
that
are
plaguing
ourselves.
M
L
N
L
Everyone
had
their
two
two
points
or
three
points
they
wanted
to
make.
I
said
okay,
so
now,
how
do
we
want
to
start
this
conversation
on
this
topic?
So
we
want
to
start
by
going
over
what
we
all
agree
on
and
then
discuss
what
we
don't
agree
with
and
go
and
have
that
discussion
and
have
that
difficult
conversation
and
the
decision
was
to
go
forward
and
vote,
we're
gonna
vote
for
it.
On
monday,
I
was
ready
to
vote
for
it
on
monday.
L
So
so
you
know,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
having
that
discussion
right
now.
If
we
want
to
have
that
discussion,
I
don't
have
a
problem
going
to
vote.
I
know
how
I'm
going
to
vote.
I
know
how
I
was
going
to
vote
on
my
last
monday.
If
there's
an
imperfect
bill,
I'm
not
going
to
support
something
that
I
can't
for
hardly
support
and
I've
asked
for
there
to
be
amendments.
I've
asked
for
my
amendment
since
day
one
and
it's
not
it's
not
something
that
I've.
L
It's
not
something.
That's
been
easy
for
me
to
fight
for
it's,
not
something
that
has
been
easy
for
me
to
to
stand
up
for
time
and
time
again,
but
I
think
we've
got
to
have
the
conversation
we
have
to
have
the
conversation.
I
think,
last
time
when
we
started
having
the
conversation
we
went,
we
did
it.
It
was
a
long
meeting
and
I
get
it.
L
L
So
my
opinion
is:
let's
have
that
conversation
now,
because
we
want
to
have
change.
We
want
to
make
this
reform.
We
want
to
do
this
fight,
but
every
single
city,
every
single
city,
austin,
berkeley,
san
francisco,
every
single
city
that
has
banned
tear
gas,
has
had
exceptions
for
exceptional
situations.
L
The
exceptions
that
I've
asked
for
is
an
exceptional
situation,
and
I
don't
think
us
not
willing
to
have
that
uncomfortable
conversation,
not
willing
to
have
that.
You
know
difficult
discussion
is
making
it.
So
we
have
two
groups
with
policies
that
we
don't
agree
with.
Okay,
so
let's
come
together
and
let's
figure
out
what
we
can
agree
on
and
move
that
forward,
but
I
mean,
but
I'm
ready
to
vote
whatever
decision
people
want
to
make
I'm
ready
to
vote,
I
think
would.
L
A
A
A
Right
right,
so
here's
the
thing
everyone's
saying
now
that
we
want
to
have
this
conversation
of
dialogue
or
work
on
these
amendments.
Did
anyone
reach
out
to
the
sponsor
or
say
anything
regarding
trying
to
make
some
changes
since
our
last
meeting
again-
and
you
know
where
I
stand
on
this-
I'm
a
no.
I
don't
agree
with
that.
I
think
it's
a
mistake,
but
you
know
I've
been
pounding,
my
head
against
the
wall
for
the
last
two
months
over
this,
so
so.
C
K
A
Has
to
decide
so
I'm
frozen.
Am
I
frozen?
You
weren't,
fair
man
yeah.
I
think
we're
all
having
that
issue,
but
so
again
I'm
just
one
person.
So
I
I
I
can't
apparently
decide
whether
we
go
forward
with
it
or
not.
If
members
say
no,
they
don't
want
to,
and
I
guess
not
but
but
but
we
should
not
go
forward
with
it.
To
avoid
a
tough
vote.
Would
that
without
actually
working
on
what
we
want
to
put
in
place
of
it?
A
C
Yeah,
I
agree
with
what
alfredo
and
kelly
have
said
and
contrary
to
what
a
woman
said,
there
were
amendments
offered
and
to
me
it's
an
individual
point
of
view
as
whether
those
amendments
are
hostile
or
constructive.
Personally,
I
did
not
think
that
they
were
hostile,
but
since
the
sponsor
thought
they
were
hostile,
I
wasn't
about
to
be
pushing
them
in
front
of
the
sponsor,
because
I
think
the
mine
was
made
up,
but
I
think
it's
open
to
more
discussion
and
right
now
it
looks
like
there's
a
competing
local
law.
C
A
B
A
E
I
asked
about
protections
in
residential
areas
and
he
didn't
think
that
that
would
be
viable
his
as
we
discussed
it.
I
thought
his
other
amendment,
which
he
had
described
during
the
committee
meeting
as
judy
you
got
to
meet
me
this
other
five
percent
was
essentially
something
that
would
result
in
tear
gas
being
used
whenever
there
was
a
gunman,
and
we
know
that
there's
gunmen
all
the
time,
and
so
I
I
was
not
in
a
position
to
understand
what
he
was
asking
for
in
trying
to
probe
et
cetera.
E
So
I
asked
him
at
that
time
to
go
ahead
and
put
it
in
writing
and
now
throughout
this
discussion.
Mr
ballerin
refers
to
a
second
amendment
and
that's
what
I'm
hearing
from
other
people
who
have
had
discussions
with
him
and
they're
asking
me
what
his
second
amendment
is,
and
I
have
conveyed
that.
I
don't
know
because
I
haven't
seen
it
in
writing
and
I
had
a
hard
time
understanding.
I
E
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
all
need
to
understand,
that
there
simply
sometimes
is
a
disagreement
about
how
you
handle
a
situation,
and
we
have
a
situation
in
which
tear
gas
was
used
on
a
specific
population
that
has
been
discriminated
against
because
they
have
been
protesting:
police
treatment
of
people
of
color
the
first
time.
It's
happened
in
32
years,
and
now
we're
trying
to
craft
language
and
and
there's.
E
Entire
process,
I
think
I
see
this
amendment
as
a
very
clear
message
about
demilitarizing
the
police
and
I
think
we
have
been
moving
in
the
wrong
direction
on
that
for
a
number
of
years.
I
think
that
we
had
been
moving
in
the
right
direction
for
a
number
of
years
and
I
think
more
recently,
we've
been
moving
in
the
wrong
direction
and
I
think
that
we
need
some.
We
need
something
to
to
do
something,
bold
and
very
concrete.
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
Who,
in
that
case,
took
action
that
resulted
in
a
riot
or
took
actions
that
essentially
were
riotous,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
problems
people
like
to
use
the
term?
I
have
no
objection.
I
have
no
objection
to
ban
the
use
of
tear
gas
for
people
who
are
protesting
peacefully,
and
then
we
can
argue
about
what
is
a
peaceful
protest,
and
does
this
mean
as
often
happen
when
I
was
growing
up?
Do
you
need
to
say
father?
E
May
I,
before
you
voice
an
objection
before
you
raise
your
voice,
because
something
is
clearly
wrong
with
the
way
things
are
being
done,
everybody's
just
like
everybody's
definition
of
what
would
be
a
reasonable
amendment
to
this
legislation
might
differ.
Everybody's
definition
of
what
is
a
peaceful
protest
maybe
fall
far
short
of
what
the
first
amendment
really
allows
and
is
intended
to
protect.
E
E
E
O
O
I
don't
know,
I
think
we
need
free
municipal
internet,
so
I'm
just
gonna
make
an
observation
in
some
way.
I
guess
a
little
frustrated
because
I
think
the
more
we
talk
about
this
issue,
the
less
we're
actually
talking
about
police
reform,
and
I
don't
necessarily
think
the
two
are
the
same.
All
the
the
amount
of
time
you've
been
spending
on
this
issue
is
time
that
we
should
we
be
spending
talking
about
comprehensive
police
reform
how
this
might
fit
in.
O
We
should
be
talking
about
the
collaborative
report
and
going
through
the
collaborative
recommendations
more
so
than
we
have.
I
don't
know
if
anyone's
hearing
me,
we
should
be
exercising
oversight
on
implementation
of
the
collaborative
report,
which
is
happening
right
now,
and
so,
as
implementation
of
that
report
is
moving
forward.
O
O
H
I
Thank
you
once
again,
I
I
want
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
councilman
abusu.
We've
had
many
talks
about
this
situation.
I
think
that
one
thing
that
I'm
gonna
keep
on
repeating
the
public
has
spoke
loud
and
clear.
The
cup
the
the
public
doesn't
want
this
utilized
as
a
tool.
As
it's
been
referred
to,
the
public
is
expecting
leadership
both
in
the
corner
office
and
apd.
I
To
start
using
their
intelligence
to
you
know,
come
up
with
different
approaches.
You
know
to
just
disregard
the
public
and
I
think
it's
been
over
90
of
the
people
who
either
wrote
a
letter
in
or
spoke
spoke
about
a
total
ban
and
for
us
to
keep
on
getting
to
these
conversations.
Just
that
take
us
in
circles.
I
So
you
know,
as
I
said
at
the
end
of
the
council
meeting,
it
was
a
difficult
night
to
be
a
council
person,
because
it's
like
we,
you
know
we
just
ignored
what
the
community
with
the
people
are
saying,
very
loud
and
clear
and
so
like.
If,
if
I'm,
if,
if
a
council
member
is
saying
that
they
had
concerns,
you
know,
I
would
expect
their
constituents
to
be
here
today
speaking
about
their
concerns,
because
then
it
puts
it
puts
a
teeth
behind
the
the
concern,
but
just
to
say
a
blind.
I
My
my
community
has
concerns,
but
we
haven't,
you
know,
heard
directly
from
those
people
about
their
concerns.
You
know,
I
just
think
that
it's
time
that
we
move
forward
with
the
original
bill,
if
on
resolution,
if
it
doesn't
pass
it
doesn't
pass,
then
we
did
our
work.
We
did
our.
We
did
our
our
job
if
someone
if
it
doesn't
pass
and
then
somebody
else
wants
to
come
up
with
a
different
resolution.
I
That's
a
great
opportunity,
but
for
us
to
spend
so
much
time
going
back
and
forth,
and
you
know
people
pulling
the
knife
and
then
moves
and
expecting
it
to
go
away.
It's
not
going
to
go
away.
The
people
spoke-
and
you
know
it's
people
that
want
to
vote
on
this.
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
know
we
could
come
together
and
and
move
this
conversation
and
and
towards
the
direction
that
it's
a
crystal
clear
understanding
that,
on
monday
night,
we're
voting
for
the
resolution.
I
H
H
I
feel
that
this
entire
past
year
and
it's
ongoing
with
just
the
upheaval
we've
had
nationwide
and
then
the
response
of
of
people
who
live
in
the
capitol
district
to
this
to
all
the
outrageous
things
that
have
happened
nationwide,
the
increase
in
gun
violence
here
and
so
on.
We
have
really
lost
sight
of
what
our
city
can
accomplish
had
been
accomplishing
in
terms
of
taking
a
different
approach
to
policing
and
that's
the
opposite
of
a
militaristic
approach.
It's
a
community
policing,
problem-solving
approach.
H
It's
you're
correct
things,
don't
change
as
quickly
as
we'd
like
them
to,
but
we
were
on
the
right
track,
moving
in
the
right
direction,
so
I
just
I
just
wasn't
ready
to
you
know
to
to
vote
for
this
complete
ban,
because
this
I
felt
this
is
a
complex
issue
and-
and
I
felt
the
amendment
that
was
being
offered-
took
a
a
more
measured
approach
to
this
whole
problem.
So
those
are
my
two
cents.
L
L
I
have
issues
with
the
amendments
on
local
law
and
I
get
concerns
about
that
and
the
reason
I
voted
to
table
local
oc
was
because
I
thought
we
were
rushing
too
quickly
to
vote
on
the
other
bill
without
having
enough
discussion
about
that
and
addressing
the
concerns
that
people
have
about
that.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
move
that
too
quickly
down
the
process,
because
I
have
some
issues
with
that
that
will
be
flushed
out,
hopefully,
throughout
the
next
few
months.
L
We
all
have
our
own
experiences
and
we've
all-
and
this
is
a
very
like
I
said
before.
This
is
a
very
personal
personal
situation
for
anyone
who
experienced
it-
and
I
know
eight
of
the
eight
of
the
council
members
experienced
it
last
year
themselves.
They
were
there,
they
felt
the
burning
on
their
skin.
They
felt
the
burning
in
their
eyes.
L
L
So
that's
another
experience
that
I
brought
to
the
table.
There's
another
experience
that
I've
been
asking
for
to
be
heard
because
we
can't
just
be
so
close-minded
to
not
be
able
to
listen
to
each
other
and
not
be
willing
to
have
some
openness
on
different
issues
and
different
concerns
that
people
are
bringing
up.
L
You
know
that
was
a
situation
wasn't
a
great
situation.
It
wasn't
a
perfect
situation,
but
the
situation
was
when
where
this
was
used
and
it
preserved
life,
so
I'm
sorry
I've
been
asking
for
it
and
I'm
going
to
continue
to
ask
for
it.
I
also
have
concerns
just
like
many
others,
with
the
words
riots
and
others
and
other
languages
being
used
in
some
of
those
amendments.
L
I
have
some
serious
concerns
about
that
and
I
apologize
judy
that
we
haven't
had
more
conversations.
You've
been
on
my
list
of
people
to
call
you
know
I
wish
I
would
have
wished
out.
I
wish
I
would
have
the
time
to
reach
out
to
you
to
talk
about
this
one
more
time
before
it
came
out
for
a
vote
to
see
if
there
was
any
opportunity
to
have
any
additional
language
put
out,
but
I'm
I'm
ready
to
vote
one
way
or
the
other.
I
do
think
that
I
don't.
L
L
P
Thank
you
so,
as
I
have
mentioned
previously,
I
am
in
favor
of
bringing
this
floor
to
the
floor
for
a
vote
on
monday.
I
know
that
our
goal
at
times
as
council
members
is
to
see
legislation
that
we
bring
forth
passed
successfully,
and
I
know
that
initially
that
there
were
concerns
that
this
legislation
would
be
vetoed,
and
you
know
we
are
co-equal
branches
of
of
government,
and
so
we
cannot.
Our
our
job
is
to
give
you
know,
give
oversight
and
you
hold
the
administration
accountable.
P
So
at
times
that's
not
always
going
to
be
possible
where
the
things
that
the
people
have
spoken
about
will
be
successful
when
it
hits
the
desk
of
the
corner
office.
But
as
council
members
mentioned
previously,
you
know,
we've
done
our
job
and
now
it's
time
to
move
forward,
and
I
just
have
a
question
about
parliamentary
procedure
from
monday.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
question
of
j.r.r
richard
now
that
the
vote
has
been
tabled.
P
M
B
M
G
O
I
don't
know
how
you
do
this
alfredo.
We
do
speak
on
both
okay,
so
the
the
at
the
last
meeting,
the
local
law,
the
motion
to
table
was
successful.
So
technically
the
the
local
law
now
is
laying
on
the
table
in
order
to
take
it
up
for
consideration
again
and
just
prior
to
tabling.
Mr
shea
doshet
had
moved
to
pass
so
that,
in
effect,
by
tabling
it,
her
motion
to
pass
was
frozen.
O
P
E
J
J
E
J
A
A
Okay,
so
next
under
we
all
set
again,
we
kind
of
went
full
circle.
We
came
back
to
this
point
next,
under
local
laws,
hell
was
item
number
nine,
it's
local
law,
k
of
2021
by
parks
and
wreck,
and
mr
flynn
that
went
through
committee
came
out
with
a
positive
recommendation.
Mr
flynn,
you
there
somewhere
we'll
be
we'll
be
voting
on
that
on
on
monday.
A
H
Men,
this
amends
the
salad
chapter,
313
solid
waste
situations
where
health
and
safety
is
at
risk
at
a
property,
and
you
have
a
situation
where
the
property
owner
is
persistently
done.
Compliant,
there's
been
repeated
problems
at
the
property,
so
it
would
allow
the
law
says
they
have
five
days
once
they're
notified
of
the
problem.
Three,
if
it's
in
person-
and
this
would
allow
the
city
to
go,
go
in
earlier
and
ask
them
to
clean
it
up
immediately
or
dgs
will
clean
it
up.
Basically,.
A
E
Actually,
I
was
wondering
if
we
really
need
to
refer
to
planning,
because
it
came
out
of
discussions
in
the
planning
committee,
and
this
is
simply
an
extension
of
the
suspension
of
the
green
roof
incentive,
because
we
are
in
the
middle
of
reviewing
the
usdo
and
so
we're
not
anticipating
we're
going
to
be
adopting
all
of
those
amendments
before
this
expires.
It
expires
on
june
30th.
So
it's
a
simple
extension
for
another
year.
E
E
E
A
A
It's
authorizing
brothers
to
build
a
deck
alongside
their
their
business
there.
This
will
be
a
referral
to
the
finance
committee
as
we're
doing
down
there
kind
of
what.
Similarly,
what
we
did
with
albany
distillery
at
the
bottom
of
livingston
avenue
same
idea,
but
it'll
be
a
referral
to
finance
where
we
can
discuss
it.
A
B
A
P
L
K
L
A
A
O
Okay,
because
that's
not
me
otherwise,
I'd
feel
like
it's.
You
know
me
again.
This
is
the
capital
pride
reso
that
we
do
every
year,
and
so
I
would
like
to
pass
it.
You
know
there
is
an
event
that
I'm
hoping
I'll
be
able
to
do
a
presentation
at.
If
not
well,
I
will
transmit
it
to
the
relevant
organizations.
O
A
K
To
bring
gun
violence
awareness
into
the
city
of
albany,
this
resolution
and
I've
been
introduced
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
but
looking
at
the
climate
that
we're
in,
I
think
it's
important
now
than
ever
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
of
the
city
know
that
we
take
this
matter
serious
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
attention
to
it.
Looking
at
some
local
data
and
also
just
talk
about
what
one
again,
this
violence
that
we're
witnessing
is
not
just
the
police
department
responsibilities.
K
All
this
is
on
all
of
us
government,
community
leaders,
families,
every
single
one
of
us
have
a
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
all
our
neighborhoods
are
safe
so
again
to
continue
to
bring
attention
to
it
and
hope
that
one
day
we
don't
have
to
introduce
this
resolution.
But
until
then
I
I
going
to
continue
supporting
this
resolution
and
bringing
awareness
to
this
gun.
Violence
is
an
ease
that
we
need
to
plague.
So,
thank
you
all
so
much,
and
I
know
that
many
people
have
supported
in
the
past
and
continues.
A
O
Thank
you
so
this
year
we're
actually
celebrating
the
150th
anniversary
of
washington
park,
which
is
a
premier
park
nationally
recognized.
So
this
is
a
resolution
that
would
celebrate
and
commemorate
the
150th
anniversary,
there's
also
a
lot
of
information
there
about
the
history
of
the
park
and
some
of
the
assets
etc.
So
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
do
this
and
get
this
passed
on
monday
as
well.
O
A
H
H
H
G
O
N
H
O
N
N
L
L
H
L
I
think
I
think
they're
all
pretty
much
done.
I
know
we
made
a
few
changes
recently,
so
I
guess
we'll
just
get
that
out
to
you
and,
like
I
said,
I'm
okay
with
doing
it,
the
15th
or
the
16th.
I
was
defending
at
the
26th.
With
the
you
know,
I
just
don't
want
it
to
get
lost
and
everything
else
was
fine.
I
don't
think
that.
