Fine,
I
mean
I
hey
emotional
discharge
does
require,
if
it's
being
done
tonight,
unanimous
vote,
since
it
wasn't
noticed
at
a
prior
meeting
of
the
council,
but
I
mean
this
creates
this
commission
with.
I
forget
how
many
members,
where
we
can't
even
get
other
commissions
appointed
and
not
clear
how
it's
being
funded
if
it's
being
funded
and
how
it
relates
into
our
contract,
discussions
that
we're
supposedly
having
right
now
with
spectrum.
A
F
E
E
D
A
It's
a
commission,
so
it's
going
to
take
some
time
to
get
up
and
running,
so
it's
not
like
it's
going
to
pass
and
then
the
commission's
going
to
be
thrown
together.
So
what
what's
the
big
deal
with
waiting
or
working
through
it?
Hopefully
we'll
get
the
living
wage.
We
can
pass
it
through
in
our
next.
G
G
A
H
J
K
A
Them
we're
not
gonna
we're
not
gonna
do
this
here
we
had
a
caucus
on
wednesday
to
discuss
this
stuff,
so
we'll
release
it
and
what
you
got
to
make
the
motion,
and
then
we
can
have
the
discussion
without
passing
it.
It
would
give
us
more
time
because
we're
we're
just
going
to
rehab
the
conversation
again
after
this.
I.
A
C
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know
after
it
was
in
committee,
and
we
had
discussions,
I
did
reach
out
to
administration.
Some
of
the
information
I
received
was
that
once
we
purchased
the
streetlight
from
national
grid,
there
were
going
to
be
smart
notes
that
will
be
post
put
on
the
street
lights
a
year
from
there
from
that
discussion.
We're
still
at
square
one
there
hasn't
been.
C
Any
discussion
has
been
any
update,
and
I
just
think
that
looking
at
the
pandemic
and
the
digital
divide
that
exists
and
the
need
to
make
sure
that
individuals
have
access
to
the
internet
connection,
I
think
that
time
has
called
for
us
to
act
as
the
legislative
body
for
the
city
of
albany.
Our
kids.
I
F
F
N
M
O
I
want
to
go
a
step
further.
The
conversation
was
that
it
would
require
additional
wiring
to
those
light
posts
in
order
to
activate
a
wireless
capability
in
our
street
lights.
So
those
nodes,
you
know,
did
very
little
to
advance
this
particular
cause.
It
requires
a
whole
other
investment
in
it
I
just
and
and
so
really
once
we
had
that
conversation,
then
there
really
should
have
been
additional
follow-up.
I
think
with
the
administration
about
now.
What
now?
K
So
I
I
I
think
it
I
agree
with
judy.
I
think
that
we
should
do
another
committee
meeting
and
and
explore
this
a
little
bit
more
with
the
administration
as
to
next
steps
before
we-
and
you
know,
I
am
not
necessarily
against
a
commission
at
all,
but
I'd
like
I
feel
like
it's
been
sitting
for
quite
a
while,
so
I
I
almost
think
we
should
get
to
hear
everyone's
views
on
this,
both
the
administrations
and
and
others
before
we
jump
into
the
commission,
because
it's
been
so
long.
M
E
So
I
would
just
like
to
add
that
when
I
was
a
member
of
the
planning
committee
that
that
component
of
the
light
was
used
as
a
selling
measure
about
them
having
the
internet
nodes-
and
it
was
this
conversation
that
eventually
that
that
that
was
going
to
be
the
direction
that
we
were
going
in
that
like
that,
was
used
as
a
selling
point
for
us
when
we
were
making
that
decision,
so
I'm
in
support
of
it.
But
I
also
feel
like
the
process.
E
You
know
we
have
to
do
better
at
being
consistent
with
the
process.
So
you
know
it's.
No,
it's
a
no-brainer,
it's
a
need
for
it.
So,
but
I
just
know
that
it
was
mentioned
in
the
committee
meetings
that
I
attended
that
that
component
about
it,
having
the
ability
to
provide
wireless
to
areas
that
it
wasn't
being
provided
to.
Thank
you.
H
Yeah
what
I
wanted
to
bring
up
was
in
the
spending
bill
that
I
don't
know
if
the
president
signed
it
yet
there's
seven
billion
dollars
available
for
broadband.
3.2
billion
of
that
seven
is
for
low-income
families
to
be
able
to
afford
internet
access.
So
I
mean
this
just
passed,
so
we
need
to
be
on
top
of
that.
Make
sure
that
the
administration's
on
top
of
that
talk
to
our
congressmen
and
senators,
if
necessary,
to
make
sure
that
we
we
have.
You
know
we
get
some
of
that
funding.
It's
a
lot
of
money.
H
That's
out
there
to
answer!
Councilman
johnson!
I
am
a
network
engineer.
I
design
wireless
networks
and
I
brought
up
at
the
meeting
more
than
once.
You
gotta
run
either
fiber
or
some
kind
of
cable
to
the
wireless
device.
That
would
be
up
on
that
telephone
pole.
So
we're
talking
about
major
work
digging
through
unless
we
go
with
a
mesh
type
of
wireless,
which
is,
you
know,
kind
of
it's
newly
being
developed,
but
it's
not
something
that
we
would
get
in
by
before
this
pandemic's
over.
But
you
know
I
I'll.
Okay.
A
Okay
and
just
you
know,
we
talked
about
this
on
wednesday,
but
but
so
since
I
mean
it's,
it's
an
important
issue:
it's
an
equity
issue,
we're
gonna,
move
it
or
discharge
it.
I
think
mr
anonymity
wants
to,
but
miss
fahey
is
chair,
and
I
don't
know
if
other
planning
members
are
fine
with
that.
Also
I'm
fine.
I
support
it,
but
I'm
not
a
part
of
that.
Just.
L
D
D
R
A
C
F
P
A
J
A
A
A
O
O
S
A
So
can
we
do
that
and,
of
course,
since
he's
making
a
motion
to
discharge
folks
will
get
a
chance
to
review
it
before
our
next
meeting.
Thank
you.
So
next
agenda
item
three
slope
law.
H:
it's
the
police
department,
statistics,
reporting,
that'll,
be
a
buffer
vote,
will
be
passed.
That's
local
law
h
next,
under
the
local
laws
agenda
item
four
local
law,
I
of
20
20,
those
are
both
of
2020.
A
J
A
I
have
balance
mr
balor,
mr
ballard's
primary
gotcha,
okay
and
then
for
agenda
item
number
four,
mr
johnson's
primary
he's
the
first
and
yep
all
right,
so
local
law,
I
will
be
we'll,
be
voting
on
again
jay.
The
cprb
legislation
needs
some
work,
so
we're
gonna
be
working
on
that
on
to
ordinances,
introduced.
P
T
A
F
D
A
A
Gotcha:
okay:
next
is
an
mc.
It's
before
under
ordinances
introduced
mc
47,
122
20
by
miss
fahey.
Excuse
me
miss
farrell
and
that's
continuing
the
authorization
for
the
the
bidding
process
that'll
be
by
ms
farrell.
The
idea
was
to
pass
that
tonight
because
we're
trying
to
it
expires
on
the
31st,
so
we're
we're
okay
right.
L
A
A
I
A
Thank
you
judy.
So
next
resolution
is
mine:
122
1220r,
that's
appointing
call
paul
collins,
hack
it
to
the
cprb
that'll
be
a
pass.
He
came
before
the
committee,
we
interviewed
him
and
he
also
came
to
our
last
clock
to
introduce
himself
so
folks
got
a
chance
to
meet
batman,
looking
forward
to
having
him
on
on
board.
A
A
A
M
R
A
P
A
O
F
A
Q
A
Right
and
so
also
now
we
do
have
the
bid
re-levy
as
mc127.
Am
I
we're
correct
on
that
yep
based
on
the
new
agenda?
I've
got
my
agenda
marked
up
from
last
week.
I
should
have
looked
at
an
updated
one.
So
that's
the
127
is
the
bid
three
levy,
that's
gonna,
be
by
miss
farrell
and
that's
an
emcee
and
that'll
that'll
be
a.
N
L
A
A
What
I
before
I
let
the
sponsor
say
something.
What
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
I
I
wish
we
had
more
time
to
discuss
this
when,
when
it
first
came
out
of
the
committee
council
operations
committee,
it
we
agreed
that
we
were
gonna
slow
down,
get
together
a
group
of
of
the
parties.
That
would
be
presumably
a
part
of
this
caucus
to
have
discussions
and
work
through
the
the
crafting
of
it.
A
We
did
have
some
meetings
and
have
some
discussions,
but
I
personally
think
I
don't
think
we're
there
yet
I
do
want
for
us
to
have
this
caucus
and
of
the
seven
members
that
are
part
of
the
the
group
that
would
be.
Presumably
a
part
of
this
four
of
us
are
are
really
not
there
yet
and
want
to
have
further
discussion,
but
the
sponsors
want
to
move
forward
in
any
case
which
I
I
will
honor
that,
but
I'm
putting
this
out
there
to
say
that
it's
it's.
A
I
think
it
needs
more
time
for
us
to
work
through
the
issues
and
I
was
hoping
we
could
have
this
discussion
offline,
which
we
kind
of
did
to
an
extent
earlier,
but
not
quite,
and
I
I
don't
know
if
other
members,
certainly
the
sponsors
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation
and
also
those
members
that
aren't
who
want
to
take
a
little
bit
more
time.
With
this,
please.
U
U
U
You
know
so,
and
I
and
I
think
that's
a
good
thing.
I
think
we've
worked
together
in
a
lot
of
projects,
a
lot
of
initiatives,
some
that
are
being
pushed
forward
here
today
at
today's
meeting,
and
we
should
be
proud
of
that,
and
we
should
be
part
of
the
work
that
we're
going
to
continue
to.
Hopefully,
work
on,
I
just
don't
want
to
see
this,
be
something
that
instead
of
bringing
a
group
together,
highlights
it
shows
any
of
our
differences.
U
U
E
So,
first
and
foremost,
let
me
say
that
I
would
love
to
see
a
black
caucus,
a
minority
caucus,
a
black
latino
caucus,
but
I
would
like
to
see
a
caucus
where
we
sit
down
and
everyone
is
heard
and
not
just
the
the
voices
of
part
of
the
group.
We
we
agreed
that
we
were
going
to
get
together
and
we're
going
to
work
towards
being
able
to
work
together,
and
we
have
one
meeting
that
was
was
attended
well
and
then
we
had
two
meetings
that
were
not
as
well
attended.
E
We
really
didn't
do
anything
in
there,
but
have
a
real,
quick
conversation.
It's
things
that
need
to
be
discussed
and
for
whatever
reason
we
not.
We
haven't
had
that
opportunity
to
have
this
full
discussion
and
for
members
to
be
given
a
text
15
minutes
before
a
caucus
and
inquiring
about
their
feelings
about
this
legislation.
This
resolution
is
not
adequate,
it's
not
an
adequate
discussion
and
then
we
go
the
whole
weekend
and
without
discussion
and
then
we're
gonna
try
to
have
a
zoom
call
at
four
o'clock.
E
The
conversations
that
people
feel
are
near
and
dear.
Let
me
let
you
know
something.
I
take
my
responsibility
as
a
councilman
very
serious.
I
take
the
opportunity
to
speak
up
on
things
that
happen
to
us,
both
good
and
bad.
You
know
as
a
privilege
and
an
honor,
and
you
know
to
be
here
for
three
years
and
a
lot
of
times
be
in
situations
where
I
was
standing
alone
from
the
city's
perspective.
E
We've
had
that
we've
had
minority
leaders
that
did
what
was
in
the
best
interest
of
the
votes.
The
caucus
shouldn't
be
about
votes.
It
should
be
about
the
people
it
should
be
about.
You
know
when
the
people
come
to
us,
they
shouldn't
be
told
that
they
need
more
proof
and
and
and-
and
we
need
to
you
know,
sit
on
it.
E
Amongst
part
of
the
members
of
the
council-
and
you
know,
people
just
feeling
like
you
know,
regardless,
we
gonna
push
forward
with
how
we
see
things
fit,
but
the
unfortunate
part
about
that
is
that
I
have
to
be
included
in
that
council
and
and
if
I'm
gonna
be
included
in
that
council.
I
would
like,
for
you
know
us
to
have
the
conversation
that
needs
to
be
had
and
held
in
order
for
us
to
move
forward
as
a
group,
because
you
can't
move
forward
if
we're
not
having
the
real
and
the
right
conversation.
A
W
W
We
allowed
ample
opportunity.
We
had
multiple
meetings
for
members
to
communicate
what
their
concerns
were,
and
we
did
our
best
to
try
to
address
every
single
concern
of
the
members
who
had
concerns
with
the
with
the
caucus
we're
all
going
to
have
differences,
we're
always
not
going
to
agree,
but
what
we
will
do
is
we
will
act
in
the
best
interest
of
the
black
and
hispanic
community
here
in
the
city
of
albany
and
so,
like.
U
A
M
F
D
T
L
B
G
G
G
J
You
now
we
put
up
the
flag,
so
we
can
do
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
we
will
ask
everyone
in
this
moment
of
silence.
You
can
hear
my
voice
if
we
doing
your
moment
of
silence
time
and
remember
one
of
our
city's
tireless
workers
and
we'll
be
discussing
that
later
on
agenda,
but
please
remember
your
thoughts,
our
most
dear
to
us,
father
young,
at
this
time
of
year.
That
being
said,
could
you
please
join
me
with
pledge
allegiance
and
then
a
moment
of
silence.
J
J
M
J
Thank
you.
If
you
can,
can
she
hear
me
now
or
thank
you?
This
is
our
public
comment
period,
part
of
the
council
meeting
on
the
agenda.
You
will
have
five
minutes
to
speak
upon
any
subject
or
topic
you'd
like
to
speak
on
at
the
four
minute
mark.
I
will
let
you
know
you
have
one
minute
remaining
at
this
time.
Council
members
cannot.
R
J
Or
cannot
respond
to
you
at
this
time
during
the
meeting?
This
is
your
time
to
talk
in
our
time
to
listen.
If
council
members
choose
to
address
what
you've
said
during
public
comment,
they
will
do
that
at
a
later
time,
in
the
meeting,
and
also
when
you
before
you
speak
just
give
your
name
first
and
last
name
and
address
for
the
record.
With
that
being
said,
can
the
clerk
call
the
first
speaker.

as
you
know,
and
the
snow
emergency
implementation
was
horrific
and
I'm
being
nice
and
saying
horrific
at
the
time
of
this
meeting
as
of
right
now,
the
outside
of
our
of
clinton
avenue
is
not
even
done.
The
even
side
is,
but
the
odd
side
is
not
that's
just
how
bad
this
implementation
of
the
snow
emergency
was
handled.
X
Cars
were
double
parked,
which
means
that
they
were
parked
in
the
middle
of
the
street,
and
then
you
have
cars
not
even
adhering
to
the
snow
emergency
on
the
other
side,
making
a
major
thoroughfare
such
as
clinton
avenue,
basically
impossible
to
come
to
to
travel
through.
So
you
have
buses.
You
have
trucks
on
top
of
cars,
looking
to
park,
looking
to
dig
themselves
out
cars
in
the
middle
of
the
street,
people
blocking
other
cars
who
are
trying
to
dig
out
so
they're
unable
to
dig
out.
X
It
was
just
chaos
there
and
during
this
time,
I'm
watching
several
dgs
trucks
pass
by.
I
want
to
see
say
between
seven
and
ten
and
ten,
none
of
them
with
their
plows
down
now
living
in
an
urban
environment
is
expected
that
there's
going
to
be
cars,
expected
that
there's
going
to
be
limited
parking
and
then
adding
snow.
X
We
understand
that
some
people
just
don't
want
to
comply,
but
the
city
has
a
remedy
for
that
which
means
towing
cars.
I
know
some
of
the
some
of
the
of
my
neighbors
may
not
like
hearing
that.
However,
I
complied
with
it.
Other
neighbors
complied
with
it.
There's
really
no
exception
to
it.
If
you're
a
car
owner,
you
need
to
be
responsible,
dig
out
your
car
move
your
car,
it's
going
to
be
hard,
but
we
also
expect
the
city
to
do
their
part.
X
X
However,
in
my
area
I
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are
elderly,
who
are
retired,
who
may
have
difficulty
with
walking
who
may
not
be
able
to
go
down
two
three
blocks
down
a
hill
in
order
to
get
to
the
sheraton.
Lots
there's
two
lots
of
sheridan,
especially
since
those
hills
were
not
touched
by
it,
not
a
plow,
not
you
know
a
shovel
nothing.
So
we
have
to
understand
that.
Yes,
there
are
alternatives,
but
can
people
in
that
area
access
them,
and
I
don't
think
that
was
thought
about
or
thought
through.
X
My
biggest
frustration
as
a
constituent
and
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
city
is
the
fact
that
the
city
didn't
get
in
front
of
this.
It
is
my
hope
that
you,
as
council
members,
seek
answers
from
the
mayor
and
other
city
officials
as
to
what
happened
and
why
a
major
thoroughfare,
such
as
clinton
avenue
had
so
many
issues
with
the
snow
removal
process.
X
X
Luckily,
nobody
was
hurt
or
no
property
was
damaged.
However,
you
have
emergency
vehicles
who
could
not
get
up
that
hill
because
it
was
not
plowed.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
happened.
I'm
not
sure
what
went
wrong
you
know
the
city
of
albany
has
not
that's,
not
our
first,
no
emergency.
This
won't
be
our
last.

These
individuals
are
unable
to
have
the
internet
at
home
due
to
financial
and
other
systematic
systemic
reasons.
If
we
were
a
business,
this
would
be
me
advocating
for
competition.
I
love
the
role
that
libraries
have
played
to
take
on
this
issue.
However,
we
are
just
a
band-aid
over
a
serious
wound,
as
a
librarian
who
has
served
this
city
for
over
two
decades
have
seen
first
hand
how
severe
the
digital
divide
is
in
our
community.
R
My
organization,
in
partnership
with
recreation
and
the
albany
housing
authority,
continues
to
provide
public
wi-fi
spots
throughout
the
city.
The
library
with
seven
locations
has
expanded
hours
in
access.
However,
I
have
not
seen
the
problem
go
away.
The
inequality
has
only
become
more
pronounced
with
this
pandemic.
R

In
addition,
parents
with
middle
incomes
were
about
twice
as
likely
as
parents,
with
higher
incomes
to
report.
Anticipating
these
issues.
Many
of
these
households
subscribe
to
low
tier
service
if
they
can
afford
the
internet
at
all.
We
need
to
assure
that
every
student
in
the
city
has
a
robust
and
reliable
internet
connection.

The
church
jack
gucci
worked
with
him
a
number
of
years
and
want
to
see
about
how
we
could
work
on
doing
some
honor
to
him,
possibly
naming
of
a
street
father
young
way
somewhere,
maybe
in
the
south
end,
because
that's
where
he
started
out
has
a
big
effect
in
that
area
and
statewide
and
probably
nationally
really
nationally
in
terms
of
peer
support,
alternative
incarceration
addiction
treatment,
and
I
want
to
put
that
out
there
to
the
common
council,
some
resolution
at
some
point
or
somewhere
naming
a
street
after
father
young.
Thank
you.

It's
from
jason
mudford
and
it
reads
as
follows:
no
this
is
under
900
words,
which
yes
can
be
read
in
three
minutes.
If
you
cannot
read
it
in
that
time,
email
me,
I
will
record
me
doing
it
and
you
can
play
that
at
the
next
meeting
over
the
past
three
to
four
years,
I've
complained
to
the
council
regarding
the
rudeness
and
nuisance
of
the
city,
plows
driving
past
my
property,
all
too
aggressively
throwing
snow
from
a
travel
lane
over
a
parking
lane
over
a
four
feet:
grass
buffer
and
onto
the
sidewalk
that
I've
already
cleared.
M
However,
this
is
a
new
level
of
calling
the
council
to
action.
Last
thursday,
a
plow
came
by
at
9,
00
am
and
it
hung
to
alert
people
of
its
presence,
and,
yes,
it
recovered.
My
sidewalk
and
I
called
434
city
to
report
it
it's
rude
of
the
city
plow
to
do
this,
but
not
something
dire,
but
then,
while
I
was
out
there
shoveling
at
10
45
a.m,
facing
the
other
way
lifting
at
the
knees,
a
shovel
full
of
snow.
M
I
was
caught
unaware
of
dgs
vehicle
566,
which
came
by
and
not
only
threw
the
snow
onto
the
sidewalk,
but
hit
me
squarely
with
it.
That
is
downright
dangerous,
dangerous.
Fortunately
it
was
soft
snow.
Fortunately,
there
were
no
blocks
of
packed
ice.
Fortunately
I
am
not
frail,
but
that
is
not
the
actual
problem.
The
first
problem
is
that
the
operator
of
a
city
vehicle
is
either
unaware
of
hitting
a
pedestrian
with
a
considerable
amount
of
snow
or
worse
intentionally.
Doing
so
is
a
potentially
legally
actionable
assault
of
a
person.
M
This
is
technically
a
hit
and
run
section
600.2
new
york,
vehicle
law.
Now,
let's
be
clear,
I
am
not
personally
looking
for
a
payout.
However,
I
do
demand
a
proactive
city
response
to
prevent
this
kind
of
situation
from
ever
occurring
a
response
to
a
situation
that
I
have
previously
reported
to
the
common
council
and
the
mayor's
office.
M
Here's
my
demand
dgs,
snow
removal
operators
undergo
a
brief
but
timely,
documented
annual
safety
training
regarding
the
operation
of
the
vehicles.
While
some
do
not
need
this,
the
operator
of
dgs
vehicle
566
clearly
does.
The
second
problem
is
that
the
mayor's
office
never
responds
ever
the
dgs
office
never
responds
ever.
Basically,
the
lack
of
response
is
an
intentional
and
perpetual
screw
you
to
the
citizens
and
taxpayers
of
albany
to
fail
to
address
this
legitimate
concern.
M
The
very
first
time
someone
produces
evidence
of
personal
damage.
My
taxpayer
dollars
are
wasted
on
the
payout
plus,
someone
will
have
been
negligently
hurt.
Furthermore,
the
entire
lack
of
response
is
highly
unprofessional.
Is
this
how
we
want
our
city
to
present
itself
to
the
world?
I
would
hope
not
the
third
problem-
and
this
is
the
most
serious
one-
is
that
when
I
reported
this
to
the
police
via
phone,
I
was
told
that
they
would
send
someone
officer
whitney
arrived
approximately
11
a.m
and
immediately
proceeded
to
chastise
me
for
a
non-event.
M
M
He
refused
to
take
the
statement
and
that's
deeply
concerning
and
sadly,
a
pattern
of
behavior.
I
experienced
time
and
again
with
albany
police
across
a
number
of
issues,
but
that's
not
even
the
worst
of
it.
If
it's
such
a
non-event
call
me
back
and
say
so,
don't
send
a
thug
gestapo
agent
if
you
wondered
why
I
have
a
police
trust
problem
in
this
city.
M
It's
this.
Approximately
80
of
my
interactions
with
the
albany
police
department
is
me
explaining
to
them
what
the
law
actually
is
and
them
admitting
that
I'm
right,
but
still
not
doing
anything
about
it.
They
run
around
picking
and
choosing
what
they
feel
like
doing.
In
the
moment
they
begun
begin
conservations
with
citizens
by
starting
with
a
chip
on
their
shoulder.
M
I
think
it's
supposed
to
say
conversations
and
they
ultimately
alienate
the
citizens.
I
feel
truly
sorry
for
the
good
20
that
I've
interacted
with
I'd
love
to
back
the
blue,
but
that,
but
the
data
does
not
support
this.
No,
I
fully
expect
retaliation
for
this.
That's
how
far
my
trust
is
burnt
with
this
city.
When
I
listen
to
this
past
week's
albany
police
review
board
video,
there
was
a
medic
who
spoke
up
about
being
assaulted
by
albany
pd,
while
administering
medical
attention
to
a
rubber
bullet
victim.
During
last
summer's
civil
unrest.
M
She
said
that
she
collected
expand,
expanded
gas
canisters
which
were
outdated,
and
she
reported
how
those
gases,
when
expired,
form
cyanide
oxide,
which
our
citizens
had
to
breathe
in.
I
just
wanted
all
of
this
document
said
out
loud
heard
by
other
citizens
when
this
city
comes
after
me,
which
I
feel
they
will.
I
just
wanted.
It
documented
that
this
is
how
they
operate,
how
you
have
operated
for
years.
M
This
council
has
done
nothing
for
me
regarding
snowplow
safety,
and
I
am
now
the
victim
of
a
city
vehicle
hit
and
run
nothing
for
pressuring
the
mayor's
office
to
do
their
jobs,
nothing
for
pressuring
dgs
to
operate
vehicles
safely
around
pedestrians
when
someone
gets
hurt,
it'll
be
on
you.
All
I
ever
wanted
is
an
open
dialogue
about
improving
albany
systems.
It
always
falls
on
the
deaf
ears
of
a
city
that
swears.
It
cannot
improve
without
citizen
involvement,
bull
bleep
hope
you
all.
Can
sleep?
J
J
F
J
A
O
U
So
this
is
one
of
the
the
reforms
that
we're
moving
forward
with.
This
is
about
data.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
we
collect
data
and
that
it's
we
have
clear
data
of
how
we
move
forward
with
I
like
data.
I
think
it
it's
it
gives
you
a
much
better
understanding
of
what
the
situation
is,
how
the
problem
is
and
how
to
address
it,
and
it
takes
away
the
you
know.
U
R
U
M
M
M
J
A
Mr
president,
one
second
yes
excuse
me
yeah,
so
just
back
to
local
law
g,
I
believe
the
notice
needed
to
discharge
needed
to
be
at
a
regular
meeting.
So
this
would
be
the
meeting
where
we're
getting
the
notice,
and
the
next
meeting
is
the
meeting
that
he'll
discharge.
It
is
that
just
the
point
of
clarification.
J
A
Yes,
but
we
had
a
few
public
safety
met
on
the
9th
and
10th
of
december
to
interview
folks
for
the
violence
prevention
task
force
that
went
well.
We
have
a
resolution
today
that
we're
going
to
pass
that
bears
the
name
of
the
the
folks
that
we
selected
for
that.
We
got
some
good
folks
for
that,
and
then
the
prior
meeting
was
a
want
to
say
the
november
30th
meeting
where
we
chose
paul
collins
hackett.
A
I
I
So
that's
37.102.20,
38
and
39.,
and
then
we
also
interviewed
a
candidate
for
the
board
of
assessment
review
and
we
will
be
putting
forward
mr
francis
cosgrove,
who
has
been
chair
of
that
committee
for
nine
of
the
ten
years
that
he
served
there
and
has
would
like
to
remain
on
the
board
of
assessment
review
and
has
done
great
service
to
our
city.
And
we
are
thrilled
that
he's
willing
to
remain
on,
and
that
is
everything.

Thank
you,
mr
president.
You
know
violence
is
a
huge
issue
here
in
our
city
and
we
and
it's
not
unique
to
the
city
of
albany.
It's
all
across
many
urban
cities,
and
I
think
that
this
pandemic
has
even
heightened
the
violence
and
crime
that
is
plaguing
our
city.
The
violence
task
force
that
we're
putting
forward
are
sat
on
all
the
interviews.
We
interviewed
the
candidates
really
really
impressive
resume
a
wealth
of
knowledge.
C
C
But
in
the
day
when
it
comes
to
gun
violence,
it's
an
ongoing
issue
and
we're
going
to
keep
working
to
eradicate
the
violence
that
is
plaguing
our
city.
It
is
a
public
health
issue
and
we
have
to
get
rid
of
this
disease.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
that
interviewed
really
really
wonderful
candidates.
Thank
you.
U
The
sentiment
from
councilman,
I
think,
we're
a
city
we're
very
lucky.
We
had
over
19
applicants
for
these
positions.
You
know
in
a
series
of
two
days
of
interviews,
many
of
our
interviewees
waited
quite
some
time
to
get
interviewed
because
of
the
process.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
that
took
their
time
to
interview
and
to
be
a
part
of
it.
These
are
going
to
be
open
meetings.
U
So,
even
if
you
are
not
on
the
board-
or
I
want
you
to
know
that
your
input
is
still
able
to
be
heard,
that's
what
we
want.
We
want
residents
to
be
able
to
share
their
experiences
and
share
their
input
on
how
we
can
improve
this
issue.
I'm
very
proud
of
this
group.
This
is
a
very
diverse
group
of
individuals
that
have
been
appointed
today.
Individuals
with
different
backgrounds,
different
experiences,
different
tools
in
their
toolbox
to
really
address
this
issue
from
a
different
perspective.
U
U
But
again,
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
by
putting
a
group
of
individuals
that
think
differently,
they
come
from
different
backgrounds
that
have
different
perspectives
on
these
issues.
I
think
we're
in
a
better
position
to
actually
try
to
address
and
make
some
real,
progressive
action
towards
correcting
this,
this
this
illness
in
our
city.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
all
those
who
took
their
time
to
volunteer
on
this
and
who
took
their
time
to
interview.
U
V
V
So
really
I
just
want
to
say
a
big
thank
you
to
everyone
who
applied
and
are
going
to
serve
on
this
on
this
much
needed
task
force
that
we
put
together
in
the
city
here,
and
it
really
says
a
lot
to
everyone
who
stepped
up
and
they're
willing
to
volunteer
their
time
and
address
this
issue.
So
again,
thank
you
to
all
those
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
F
F
M
M
A
M
T
E
I
don't
even
know
where
to
begin.
You
know,
as
I
think
about
my
life.
I
always
had
father
young
in
the
background
somewhere
and-
and
so
I
say
that
we
all
have
a
father
young
story
and
I
have
mine,
he
was
always
there
for
my
father
if
he
felt
that
father
could
help
him.
What
stood
out
most
to
me
was
his
visionary
work
and
being
in
front
of
many
issues
that
were
near
and
dear
to
the
black
and
brown
communities.
E
E
N
K
Yeah,
I
I
just
want
to-
I
can't
you
know
I
I
can't
say
it
better
than
derek,
but
I
did
know
father
young
and
I
was
so
very
aware
of
his
selflessness,
his
great
dedication
and
what
a
legacy
he
leaves
here
in
our
community
and
he's
someone
in
his
presence.
You
really
he
had
such
a
welcoming
spirit
and
again
great
man.
He
will
truly
truly
be
best.
O
J
T
G
M
R
W
W
J
D
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
want
to
explain
my
vote
first,
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
any
member
of
the
council
or
group
of
members
may
form
a
caucus
surrounding
issues
or
or
concerns
in
which
there
is
a
commonality
for
those
members
to
come
together
and
work
together
on
those
issues
it's
it
does
not
require.
D
D
D
D
We
celebrate
that
diversity
and
members
have
representation
in
the
county
legislature.
The
black
and
hispanic
members
are
a
small
minority,
and
the
purpose
theirs
to
understand
of
the
caucus
resolution
was
to
create
a
leadership
role
for
those
members
within
that
larger
body,
where
there
wasn't
representation.
D
Indeed,
as
far
as
the
council
is
concerned,
half
the
members
are
black
or
hispanic,
and
two-thirds
of
the
leadership
positions
are
occupied
by
black
ops
or
people
of
color,
which
the
resolution
doesn't
know
in
terms
of
the
progress
and
the
representation
that's
made,
so
I
will
be
voting
present.
As
I
said,
I
have
no
objection.
I
encourage
members
to
to
get
together
form
caucus
to
address
issues
of
concern.
D
That's
not
the
issue
here
tonight,
but
again
premature
to
adopt
a
resolution
recognizing
a
caucus
that
hasn't
come
together
yet,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
that
first
step
has
to
happen
to
pass
a
resolution
like
this
and
again
it's
not.
The
resolution
itself
is
not
a
prerequisite
to
forming
a
caucus,
and
I
think
some
of
the
language
should
reflect
a
little
bit
more
in
terms
of
the
progress
in
turn,
especially
in
terms
of
leadership
positions
that
have
made
on
this
council
to
recognize
where
we've
come.
C
C
You
know
some
suggestions
and
today
I'm
actually
hearing
about
some
recommendations,
as
it
relates
to
what
could
be
added
to
this
resolution,
as
it
relates
to
recognizing
leadership
that
exists
here
in
the
city
and
albany
county
council,
and
this
it
just
reminds
me
of
the
equity
agenda
right
whenever
there's
any
type
of
legislation
that
has
to
is
led
by
black
and
brown
people.
We
need
further
discussion
where
we're
going
to
get
the
money
from,
and
it's
similar
in
the
sense
that
the
equity
agenda
was
introduced.
C
Several
months
before
actually
was
brought
up
for
a
vote
and
it
was
zero
recommendations
that
was
brought
up
from
individuals
who
were
it
honestly.
If
they
really
wanted
to
make
some
amendments
to
it,
I
believe
they
would
have
sent
amendments
a
little
bit
early
and
and
on
the
costs
of
it
being
voted.
There
are
individuals
who
all
of
a
sudden
are
concerned
with
suggestions
that
they
had
forward.
You
know
this
was
a
well-intentioned
suggestion.
This
intent,
this
suggestion,
would
have
been
sent
a
month
ago,
not
the
day
of
the
vote.
C
You
know,
I
think
it's
important
individuals
like
well.
This
is
a
feel-good
legislation.
This
is
a
feel-good
legislation.
Doesn't
really
do
nothing?
Oh
I've
been
on
the
council
for
three
years,
and
you
know
some
of
the
people
that
are
saying.
There's
a
field
legislation.
You
have
had
your
fair
share
of
feel-good
legislations,
introduced
and
passed.
C
C
The
common
council,
black
hispanic
caucus
is
one
way
we
can
further
make
this
a
reality.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
community
and
all
neighborhoods
that
work,
and
this
resolution
is
to
inspire
the
individuals,
particularly
black
and
brown
people
that
have
been
beaten
with
issues
as
trayvon
martin
issues.
C
O
I'm
glad
to
recognize
black
and
hispanic
caucus
when
one
exists,
but
during
our
conversations
during
our
caucus
I
was
hearing
that
a
majority
of
the
people
who
fit
the
description
of
the
people,
who
would
be
participants
in
this
caucus
are
don't
feel
like
you're
there.
Yet
with
regard
to
the
establishment
of
a
caucus.
O
I
do
think
that
it's
important
for
the
conversations
to
continue
so
that
there
is
some
agreement
on
what
a
caucus
is.
I
recommend
some
bylaws
be
developed
potentially
so
that
so
that
we
know
what
the
caucus
is,
how
it's
who's
going
to
be
speaking
for
the
caucus,
etc,
and
so
I
will
be
voting
present
on
this.
I'm
just
simply
confused
by
this
being
brought
up
for
a
vote
tonight.
G
J
E
You
know
they
go
for
10
votes
and
then,
when
they
get
those
10
votes,
they
can
care
what
anybody
else
do,
and
you
know
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
to
the
colleagues
that
spoke
up
and
said
that
it's
hard
to
be
a
caucus.
If
people
aren't
on
board-
and
you
know
I
am
not
on
board
as
this
is
going
because
we
didn't
do
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
and
you
know
the
people
have
spoke.
E
We
spoke
in
private
and
you
know
people's
mindset
is
that
they're
just
going
to
do
what
they
want
to
do.
You
know
we
it's
times
in
these
moments
that
we
have
stood
together
and
when
we
stood
together
you
know
people
broke
off
and
acted
as
individuals
didn't
even
talk
to
the
group.
You
know
I
had
to
find
out
information
from
third,
fourth
and
fifth
party
about
what
was
going
on
over
on
stuff
that
we
did
together.
E
E
So
I
say
that,
in
order
for
us
to
get
on
board,
we
got
to
sit
down
at
the
table
and
have
real
conversations,
and
you
know
for
three
people
to
feel
like
okay,
since
we
because
we
agree
that
we're
just
going
to
move
forward
and
put
people
on
the
spot,
because
tonight
what
we,
what
you
have,
is
you
putting
people
on
the
spot?
How
many
people
are
going
to
vote
against?
E
You
know
a
black
caucus,
especially
at
this
time.
Well,
I'm
one
of
those
people
that's
prepared
to
vote
against
this
caucus,
the
way
that
it
is
presented.
You
know
we
reached
out
and
we
spoke
and
asked
if
we
can
table
it.
So
we
can
have
the
honest
conversation
that
we
have
been
avoiding
and
when
people
say
that
we
had
a
meeting
yeah
we
had
to
meet.
We
have
one
meeting.
We
have
one
meeting
where
I
believe
everyone
was
unattended
and
then
for
us
that
try
it
two
weeks
after
that.
E
So
that's
three
weeks
that
we
attempted
to
have
a
meeting
and
then
for
six
months
to
go
by
and
then
for
a
text
to
come
out,
15
minutes
before
caucus
that
only
one
person
responded
to
and
that's
sufficient
time.
But
that
sounds
a
lot
like
how
business
is
done
with
us
from
the
corner
office
and
that's
the
reason
why
I
can't
support
this
resolution
because
it's
doing
the
same
type
of
you
know.
G
E
When
when
wasn't
anybody
else
paying
attention
to
al-azhar,
you
know
when
we're
gonna.
If
we're
gonna
throw
people's
names
up,
you
know
it
would
have
been
nice
if
you
were
there
to
support
them.
When
the
incident
took
place-
and
you
know
I
just
feel
like
when
we
try
to
have
these
conversations.
You
know
I
get
calls
from
people
all
over
the
city
that
complain
about
how
they're
being
treated
the
things
that
are
being
done
to
them
and
some
of
the
sponsors.
E
E
You
know
our
people
do
deserve
to
see
the
leaders
working
together,
but
not
just
in
resolutions.
They
need
to
see
the
people
out.
There
are
voicing
the
concerns
of
the
unpopular
issues
and
and
they
they
are
old
that
so
you
know
when
I
see
this
aggression
towards
forming
a
group
that
you
know
isn't
operating
as
a
group.
We.
R
H
E
E
Why
would
we
assume
the
debts
that
we
assume
with
that
bridge?
You
know
everybody
agreed
one
night
that
it
shouldn't
happen
and
then
two
people
went
and
had
a
a
meeting
and
and
unbeknownst
to
a
lot
of
people,
because
it
was
definitely
not
introduced
to
me
and
it
wasn't
shared
for
me.
So
you
know
when
you
talk
about
caucus.
You
know
we
had
three
years
and
we
had
a
year
plus
in
between
when
we
had
that.
E
That's
how
I
was
introduced
to
this
resolution.
I
just
popped
up
that
caucus
and
it
sprung
up
on
me.
Just
like
I
looked
at
my
phone
this
week
and
I
saw
it
was
coming
out
again,
so
you
know
when
you
say
that
you
know
we're
coming
together.
We
don't
come
together
because
of
a
piece
of
paper.
We
don't
come
together
because
of
a
resolution.
E
You
know
our
people
have
moments
when
they
need
us,
and
you
know
they
have
been
lonely
a
lot
of
the
times
in
these
three
years,
and
so
when
we
do
stuff
for
the
people,
it's
not
just
the
stuff
that
we
do
in
the
chambers.
It's
not
just
the
stuff
that
we
do
through
on
resolutions
is
day-to-day
stuff.
So
thank
you.
A
Yeah,
so
I
mean
mr
johnson
said
a
lot.
I
agree
with
the
sentiment
and
the
ideas
I
spoke
at
the
caucus
earlier.
My
thing
is,
I
I
think
we
can
do
better
than
this.
I
support
the
caucus,
though
I'll
be
voting
present
on
this.
We
can
do
better
than
this
resolution.
We
can
do
better
putting
this
together
for
our
folks.
A
All
of
us
that
folks
would
go
along
with
what
we
came
up
and
thought
would
be
best
for
us
for
representing
our
our
folks
we're
rushing
this.
I
don't
think
there's
any
chance
that
it
won't
pass
if
this
that
put
off
like
I
asked
earlier,
but
we
are
where
we
are
and
that's
that's
why
I'll
be
voting
the
way
I
vote.
So
thank
you.
U
U
I
can't
see
this
not
move
forward
and
we're
gonna
have
to
figure
out
differences,
get
back
in
the
room
and
work
it
out,
because
that's
what
we
have
to
do
and
we
can't
let
this
fail.
I
would
have
liked
first
to
await
it.
I
would
have
liked
for
us
to
have
pushed
us
back.
I
would
have
liked
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
all
seven
members
feeling
a
bit
comfortable
enough
to
support
this,
because
that's
what
this
deserves.
U
U
I
I
I
Of
course,
I'm
going
to
support
it.
If
I
was
putting
together
a
woman's
caucus,
I
would
hope
that
people
would
support
that.
So
I
fully
believe
that
everyone
will
be
able
to
come
together
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
this
caucus
to
help
represent
the
whole
city
and
including
the
black
and
brown
people
in
my
ward.
F
D
T
Q
G
W
F
T
M
M
L
R
J
P
G
H
Yes,
I
just
wanted,
because
it
was
a
public
comment
about
snow.
This
was
a
terrible
storm.
I
mean
it's
like,
and
I
hope
this
isn't
with
global
climate
change
that
we're
not
going
to
be
dealing
with
this
every
year.
But
if
we
are
we're
going
to
have
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
better
prepare
our
citizens
for
this
type
of
snowfall,
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
bring
up.
H
There
was
two
nurses
in
my
neighborhood
and
you've
heard
me
say
it
all
the
time
we
don't
have
sidewalks
and
what
was
really
nice
on
villa
avenue.
The
neighbors
got
together
and
dug
a
little
pathway,
so
the
woman
could
get
out
to
the
main
road
on
magazine
street
and
her
nephew
picked
her
up
and
brought
her
to
st
peters.
H
We
got
to
figure
out
a
way
that
you
know
and
again
it's
it's
pie
in
the
sky,
but
it's
stuff
to
think
about
in
the
smart
city
that
we
know
where
our
emergency
responders
are
and
make
sure
you
know
ask
them
actually
to
volunteer.
Let
us
know
where
they
live
and
stuff.
Those
roads
should
be
the
first
ones
done
to
get
our
people
to
the
hospitals
that
take
care
of
us
for
the
fire
department
to
make
sure
that
they
can
get
to
work.
H
C
C
For
too
long,
the
people
of
albany
have
been
forced
to
deal
with
sub-par
service
and
in
2020
we
have
technologically
fallen
behind
the
curve,
and
we
have
seen
the
last
nine
months.
The
implication
of
that.
We
learned
firsthand
that
reliable
internet
connection
determine
whether
or
not
a
child
has
the
ability
to
attend
classes.
When
the
schools
are
shut
down,
we
learned
how
many
people
had
new
barriers
to
jobs
or
reliable
relief,
because
they
did
not
have
a
reliable
internet.
C
C
C
Keeping
in
mind
that
this
is
something
that
can't
be
developed
overnight.
This
is
something
that
requires
a
great
deal
of
coordination,
planning
and
commitment,
which
is
why
this
legislation
proposed
creating
a
commission
to
determine
the
feasibility
and
developing
a
plan
for
how
the
city
of
albany
can
establish
a
municipal
internet
service
bottom
line.
This
is
a
transformative
project
like
this
one
needs
to
be
done
right
and
I
will
bring
this
up
for
next
council
and
I'm
optimistic
with
the
new
year.
C
C
This
is
an
issue
and
I'm
not
surprised
that
some
people
who
represent
different
districts
where
there
is
90
connectivity,
are
in
opposition
or
wanting
further
discussion,
but
this
is
to
address
the
families
who
are
being
left
out
with
the
digital
divide,
who
are
being
left
out
in
these
challenging
times
a
vote
to
authorize.
This
commission
is
a
vote
to
begin
chartering,
the
technological
future
in
our
city.
C
Mr
president,
I
don't
I
wish
that
christmas
would
have
came
early
with
this
vote
on
this,
but
you
know
what
frederick
douglass
said:
there's
no
progress
without
struggle
and,
quite
frankly,
I've
come
to
get
used
to
it,
and
I
hope
that
next
year
we
will
get
this
done.
This
is
more
than
an
equity
issue.
This
is
for
the
future
of
our
kids.
They
are
already
struggling
to
do
remote
learning.
C
C
E
So
I
just
want
to
follow
up,
because
here
it
is
another
council
meeting
right
and
we
just
had
this
snowstorm
and
we
have
one
council
member
speak
on
the
snowstorm
and
we
had
one
of
our
residents
speak
on
it.
You
know,
I
think
that
that
just
goes
to
show
the
faith
that
the
people
have
and
their
issues
being
heard
and
something
being
done
about
it,
because
all
of
us
know
that
we
got
multiple
phone
calls
about
the
last
two
storms.
E
If
we
go
back
and
check
the
record
last
year
at
that
last
snowstorm,
I
said
that
we
fell
miserably
and
you
know
changes
are
constantly
being
made
to
personnel
work.
Personnel
throughout
our
city
has
brought
to
our
attention
and
we
do
nothing
about
it,
and
I
understand
that
you
know
the
mayor
has
the
ability
to
select
whatever
commissioner
that
she
wants.
E
But
I
also
understand
that
we,
if
you
know
when
it's
time
for
us
to
stand
together
if
we
stood
together-
and
you
know-
spoke
to
the
sentiments
that
are
shared
with
us,
because
you
know
what
a
lot
of
times
when
people
call
their
their
council
person
in
their
work
and
they
and
and
they
don't
get
the
response.
That's
how
other
people,
in
other
words,
start
getting
phone
calls.
E
E
On
charles
place
should
not
have
to
call
me
every
single
snowstorm
to
get
a
a
car
over
to
clear
out
their
street
every
single
snowstorm
in
my
tenure
as
a
councilman.
They
have
had
to
call
me,
since
whatever
person,
retired
and
so
like,
it's
many
changes.
That's
going
on
in
our
city
that
we
just
don't
talk
about.
E
You
know.
We
call
these
commissioners
in
to
committee
meetings
and
it's
like
a
joke
to
go
through
some
of
these
committee
meetings
to
when
you
try
to
address.
What's
going
on
so
you
know,
my
heart
hurts
right
now,
because
you
know
our
city
just
got
another
paper
resolution
and
you
know
I
feel
like
we
deserve
better.
E
E
So
when
I
got
a
call
at
eight
o'clock
that
our
street
wasn't
plowed,
I
couldn't
believe
it
because
you
just
automatically
assumed
that
police
have
to
get
through
and
then,
when
I
came
out,
I
friday
to
see
the
state
of
the
city,
it
was
very.
It
was
very
bothersome
and
troublesome
that
you
know
we
didn't
have
more
conversation.
You
know
I'm
bothered
when
it
is
murdered
during
the
week
when
we
are
losing
lives
and
that
these
don't
it
doesn't
come
up
in
our
discussion
and
I'm
you
know
like.
E
H
E
So
you
know
when
it
comes
to
the
avocation
of
the
people.
I
would
like
to
see
people
get
active
because
there's
too
much
going
on
in
our
city
for
people
to
act
like
they
don't
hear
what's
going
on
and
for
nothing
to
be
done.
Our
streets
deserve
better
treatment
than
a
snow
storm.
It's
people
that
have
to
get
to
work
and
they're
they're
faced
with
losing
money
and
that's
not
helping
households
and
you
know
for
us
to
act
like
we
don't
see
the
changes.
E
G
G
I
know
this
is
a
big
storm.
So
obviously
you
know
there
was
a
lot
of
you
know.
I
my
seat
didn't
get
really
plowed
out
until
the
following
day,
but
I
leave
that
up
to
you
and
I
mean:
do
you
want
a
general
services
committee
meeting?
Do
you
want
a
caucus
with
these
folks
coming
in
and
showing
I
don't
know
how
long
it
took
to
adequately
pull
out
cars
and
clear
streets
or
or
don't
we?
I
mean
I'll
leave
that
choice
up
up
to
the
collective
collective.
T
J
C
L
J
L
L
L
I
remember
storms
years
ago
when
they
had
those
skidoos
and
the
cops
had
them
and
they
actually
brought
people
to
the
hospitals.
Now
we
have
big
suvs
and
they
could
probably
set
something
up
like
that.
So,
but
this
was
a
big
one
and
I
got
to
thank
everybody
instead
of
just
knocking
on
everybody,
but
I
know
I
need
some
help.
Thank
you.
U
It
was
a
big
one
and
it
was
it's.
It's
still
still
a
mess.
I
do
think
you
know.
I
do
think
we
we
need
to
bring
in
our
djs,
commissioner,
and
of
accent.
What
could
have
done
been
done
better
and
it's
not
a
a
hit
on
the
men
and
women
that
were
out
there
in
the
cold,
doing
12-hour
shifts
doing
the
best
they
could
with
the
equipment
that
they
have.
It's
not
a
knack
on
them
at
all.
U
To
see
what
is
it
that
is
needed
to
be
able
to
address
these
types
of
storms,
but
it
was
rough.
I
thought
I
was
ready.
I
had
my
truck
my
two
snow
blowers.
I
thought
I
was
ready
and
you
know
one
of
my
snow
blowers
is
dead
now
so,
and
I
was
still
shoving
people
out
this
morning,
so
it
was
a
bad
storm.
U
It
was
a
bad
storm
and
I
think
I
I
don't
think
we
we
take
away
from
those
who
did
the
best
they
could
with
the
resources
that
they
had
to
have
a
meeting
to
see
what
what
additional
resources
could
have
helped
the
process.
What
additional
resources
could
have
made
it
easier
for
those
individuals
that
are
out
there?
You
know
doing
the
best
that
they
can
so.
No,
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
mike.
U
K
Mike
we
couldn't
hear
you
on
that,
but
I
just
want
to
say
I
do
support
a
committee
to
take
a
look,
a
closer
look
at
this.
I
agree
with
joe
and
others
who
have
you
know,
recognized
the
incredible
work
that
these
dgs
workers
have
done
here.
You
know
that
those
thoughts
about
is
this:
are
we
going
to
have
more
of
these
terms
that
we
had
that
one
big
storm
last
year
is
this?
K
Is
this
what
climate
change
is
one
of
the
things
that's
resulting
from
climate
change
and
we've
got
to
be
better
prepared,
but
I
I
I
know
our
commissioner,
you
know
he's
very
interested
in
getting
the
data
getting
the
statistics,
so
I
I
think
we
can
have
that
conversation
with
him
about.
You
know
how
we
move
forward
and
do
an
even
better
job
with
the
snow
removal
here
in
the
city
and.
G
K
G
L
Can
I
just
give
one
other
reminder
in
case
anybody
knows
they
are
down
heavy
equipment
operators,
which
is
a
setback
and
they're
still
down
employees
they've
been
down
for
probably
nine
months
and
they
filled
some,
but
now
they
might
be
getting
bonuses
again.
More
people
might
not
want
to
come
back
to
work.
