During
the
meeting
I
will
ask
mr.
president
I
will
I
will
alert
him
to
the
fact
that
we've
received
a
total
of
444
comments.
Those
44
comments
have
been
uploaded
to
both
the
common
councils
web
page
and
the
Facebook
page
for
the
public's
consumption
at
their
leisure
and
I
will
ask
him
how
he
would
like
for
us
to
proceed.
We
did
receive
a
last
minute
comment
at
5:30,
6:00
p.m.
which
is
not
included
in
that
I'll.
E
F
B
B
B
D
G
H
J
That's
an
interesting
point.
The
last
time
these
senses
changed
all
changed
a
lot
of
times
we're
changing
what
we're
introducing,
etc.
And
often
this
approved
as
to
form
is
not
reflected,
and
any
changes
is
that
the
expected
process
now
that
it
goes
back
through
a
corporation
council
once
we
have
changed
something
I
just
want
to
know
what
the
process
is.
It
makes
sense
has
never
made
sense
to
me
that
amendments
to
what
we're,
especially
to
what
we're
introducing,
are
not
approved
as
to
form
with
a
revised
date
sure.
H
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
an
established
practice
on
that
at
least
I've
not
been
made
aware
of
one,
as
you
know,
I'm
still
relatively
new
in
this
position,
but
I'll
certainly
ask
Maresa
about
that
and
get
a
definite
answer.
I
mean
I
will
say
that
jr.
and
I
work
pretty
collaboratively
on
these
things,
especially
when
it
comes
to
amending
them.
So
I'm
I,
guess
it's
my
opinion
that
we
probably
should
reflect
those
changes
as
to
form
and
update
them
as
we
go.
H
It
seems
to
be
the
way
that
it
makes
the
most
sense
to
do
it
and,
of
course
you
know
a
lot
of
the
changes
come
through
on
resolutions
which
we
don't
have
to
get
approved
as
to
form
by
my
office
anyway,
but
yeah
I
will
certainly
look
into
that,
because
I
think
that's
something
that
makes
sense
to
adopt
as
a
practice.
If
that's
not
the.
L
C
B
B
M
B
J
Reaction
from
people
who
don't
mind
the
golf
course
being
open
but
would
like
to
make
sure
that
there
is
access
to
the
trails
throughout
the
court
and
does
anybody
know
what
is
going
to
happen
with
regard
to
that
authority,
something
to
the
mayor's
office
today
and
I,
not
gotten
a
response,
but
a
lot
of
people
in
these
kovat
times
have
appreciated
being
able
to
walk
the
trails.
You
know
along
the
golf
course
and
there
can
I.
Imagine
that
the
comment
I
received
today
is
not
the
sole
comment
that
we
will
receive.
M
Judy
I
can
answer
that.
Maybe
a
little
bit
yeah
Gregory
yeah
there
are
there,
are
and
there's
a
lot
that
people
don't
know
about
course.
There
are
trails
that
go
between
the
holes
that
doesn't
affect
coughing
like
if
you
walk
the
course
you
can
walk
right
down
the
middle
where
the
driving
ranges.
So
there
is
areas,
that's
something
that
the
dgs
and
the
city's
going
to
look
at.
You
know
liability.
L
M
J
J
A
A
And
you
know
for
that
matter,
and
this
is
something
which
I
think
we
could
bring
up
at
our
joint
meeting
on
additional
Rekha's.
That
golf
course
has
a
lot
of
unused
land
that
actually
has
some
old
fairways
that
are
mode
and
not
used
for
golf
actively.
It
could
have
some
other
could
probably
be
repurposed
for
something
right.
D
D
B
Okay,
so
yes,
the
next
resolution
by
mr.
Flynn's
5360
220.
B
B
A
Kelly
Kelly
could
I
also
Ray
raise
a
point
with
regard
to
that
we
went
ahead
and
scheduled
it.
We
never
got
an
answer
from
Sergio
or
Frank
Scioli.
We
did
get
an
answer
from
Jonathan
guns
and
he
and
he's
available,
but
it
seems
to
me
we
really
need
DGS
people
there
and
it's
a
mystery
to
me
why
they're
so
hard
to
get
hold
off.
Maybe
leadership
could
give
him
a
little
kick.
B
D
B
And
that
the
resolution
will
be
amending
the
appointments
of
marriage
officers
and
extending
the
time
that
they
can
perform
those
services
that
will
be
a
pass
any
discussion
regarding
that
we're
already
doing
it.
This
is
an
extension
of
it.
There's
some
some
other
small
change.
Well,
excuse
me.
Other
changes
like.
B
D
Of
the
changes
is
to
reflect
correct
last
name
from
Parker
to
bird,
and
then
it
allows
us
to
extend
the
amount
of
time
that
we're
able
to
officiate
the
ceremonies
I,
don't
know
when
the
courts
are
going
to
be
up
and
running
to
perform
the
civil
service
ceremony.
So
this
is
a
great
benefit
for
those
that
are
seeking
to
have
their
marriages.
Solemnized
I
think
that's
about
it.
Thank.
B
N
Since
George
Floyd's
murder,
there
are
so
many
communities
that
are
calling
for
police
reforms,
and
this
is
just
another
one
of
those
reforms
that
many
advocates
and
many
residents
are
calling
for.
This
will
58
repeal
has
protected
many
law
enforcement
officers
from
actually
being
investigated
and
also
for
provide
the
history
of
bad
actions
to
District,
Attorney's
or
individuals
who
wanted
to
prosecute
them.
So
with
this
repeal,
it's
just
increasing
created
transparency
within
police
accountability.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
supporting
this
and
also
becoming
prime
sponsors.
B
B
O
Hello,
everyone
good
evening,
thank
you
for
having
me
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Public
Safety
Committee
for
recommending
me.
My
name
is
Nairobi
vitas,
as
you
know,
and
I
am
honored
to
be
a
part
of
the
CPR,
be
when
I
wrote
the
letter.
Of
course,
we
always
know
that
the
issue
of
police
brutality
and
those
sorts
of
things
that
plague
our
community
exists,
but
I
did
not
know
that
it
would
be
such
a
eventful
time
in
such
a
time
that
has
sparked
so
much
change.
O
So
I
think
that
it's
it's
I'm
really
honored
to
be
able
to
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
thank
you.
I'm
a
I'm,
a
lifelong
member
of
the
city
of
Albany
and
I,
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
serve
my
community
and
be
a
voice
for
them
on
this
board
and
I
know
that
there's
been
many
proposed
changes
by
many
of
the
councilmembers,
so
I
hope
that
the
the
board
might
have
some
more
power
and
may
be
able
to
do
some
things
and
make
some
some
real
change.
So
thank
you.
P
Yeah,
so
I
am
actually
excited
about
this
appointment.
Nairobi
and
I.
We
grown
up
with
each
other
and
so
I've
seen
her
growth
and
she
is
a
person
that
is
about
her
community
and
she
seeks
I
believe
she
will
seek
seek
to
ensure
that
and
the
people
who
file
complaints
with
the
citizens
please
reward
are
seen.
Are
the
complaints
are
reviewed
in
a
fair
and
just
manner?
So
thank
you
narrowly
so
much
for
applying
for
this
position
and
we
look
forward
to
having
you
thank.
C
Q
Q
R
Just
wanted
to
thank
a
can
for
volunteering,
for
this
position.
I
think
we're
very
lucky
to
have
such
a
potential
member
of
our
community.
Those
who
don't
know
my
miss
Venus
is
a
lawyer
who
graduated
summa
laude
she's
been
work
in
the
community
for
quite
some
time
and
I.
Think
he'll
Eagle
guidance
on
the
board
is
going
to
be
a
huge
asset.
You
know
asked
his
board
moves
forward
and
asked
his
board
has
additional
responsibilities.
So
thank
you
for
volunteering,
your
time
on
serve
your
community
again.
Thank.
J
In
a
very,
very
important
position
in
the
times
that
we
face,
but
it's
always
been
an
important
position
at
least
think
that
having
a
lawyer
be
part
of
the
dialogue
is
helpful,
and
that
happens
to
be
because
I'm
also
a
lawyer
and
I,
know
the
perspective
that
you
can
bring
to
the
the
dialogue.
I
am
curious
about
your
position
in
terms
of
US
authorizing
the
board
to
have
subpoena
powers.
O
Whether
I'm
for
or
against
that,
yes
I
am
absolutely
for
that,
and
it's
it's
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
going
to
suggest
in
my
role.
I
think
that,
just
in
speaking
to
people
about
what
I
was
attempting
to
do
and
being
appointed
to
the
board
I
reached
out
to
other
people
in
the
community
to
see
how
they
felt
and
I
think
that
the
board
needs
to
be
able
to
call
witnesses
to
ask
questions
of
officers
and,
as
you
said,
I
am
Anna
I'm,
Lauren
I.
O
That's
how
I
think
I
want
to
be
able
to
review
the
the
complaints
and
the
evidence
before
me
without
having
it
have
to
be
secondhand
from
the
professional
standards.
Union
amitis,
so
I
think
that
is
very
important
to
empower
the
board
and
I'm
some.
You
know
I've
heard
other
suggestions
from
people
in
the
community
who
are
voiced
that
they
are
afraid
to
come
forward
and
and
want
to
be
able
to
have
the
board.
O
You
know
bring
forward
complaints
on
their
behalf
or
if
there
are
cell
phone
videos
that
are
available
to
be
able
to
make
a
complaint
and
investigate
on
their
behalf.
So
I
think,
the
more
that
we
empower
the
board
the
more
oversight
there
is,
the
better
the
community
will
be
represented
so
I'm
absolutely
in
for
that.
Miss.
C
J
S
T
U
U
O
N
And
I,
we
just
want
to
say:
congratulations.
You
know
some
of
the
stuff
that
people
have
already
said
already
has
released.
The
improvement
and
community
I
think
you're
the
perfect
person
for
this
position
and
if
we
could
be
of
any
help
you
know
there
are
some
people,
sometimes
when
they're
on
the
board,
and
they
have
great
ideas.
But
sometimes
the
board
is
hard
for
the
board
to
get
along
with
it
with
ideas
right
away,
but
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us.
N
B
There
anyone
else,
okay
with
that,
thank
you,
Miss
vivas,
look
forward
to
working
with
you,
okay,
thank
you.
I
mean
it's!
It's
really.
We
need
good
folks
on
these
boards
to
make
things
work
for
our
community
and
I.
Think
you're,
you
know
selecting.
You
is
a
good
step
towards
doing
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
O
B
Okay,
we
all
back
here
so
yep
resolution
from
public
safety.
We
had
a
meeting
on
the
3rd
of
June.
He
was
voted
out
with
a
positive
recommendation,
so
we'll
be
moving
that
tonight
for
the
next
resolution
of
mine
resolution,
57
60
120,
its
Street,
an
honorary
street
renaming
William
Hank
Wallace
named
in
luxury
between
Livingston
and
Manning
William
Hank
Wallace
way
that
will
be
going
to
DBS
and
that'll.
B
V
B
Now
I'll
take
care
of
that.
You
Daniel
you
sent
me
the
blank
application.
I
just
have
to
get
her
the
two
folks
to
to
complete
it,
we'll
have
it
by
the
time
we
need
it.
Okay
just
wanted
to
make
sure
yep.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Okay!
So
next
you
have
an
MC
Prime,
Minister
Robinson
will
be
consent.
Its
resolution
58
60
to
20
it's
renaming,
Livingston
Park
to
black
lives
matter,
Clark.
B
P
B
J
P
J
J
J
J
Even
if
the
response
is
what
you
expect
I
like
the
idea
of
us
providing
people
with
enough
notice
so
that
they
can
chime
in
and
feel
a
part
of
the
process,
and
so
that
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
this.
But
it's
just
a
comment
that
I
want
to
make
and
I
and
I
hope.
Mr.
Robinson,
you
don't
take
that
personally
with
regard
to
this.
It's
it's
just
a
certain.
J
You
know
something
that
I
feel
the
need
to
say
with
the
number
of
things
that
we
are
doing,
MC
and
you
know,
and
input
and
and
respecting,
and
having
enjoyed
that
community
dialogue,
the
community
process
and
letting
people
come
forward
and
feel
a
part
of
that
process.
So
that's
my
only
but
I
will
be
voting
in
favor.
B
B
B
Is
by
mr.
nannies,
48
60
120
are.
B
N
G
D
B
T
Q
B
E
D
D
A
L
E
E
D
Yes,
mr.
president,
we
have
someone
in
the
queue.
We
also
received
a
large
number
of
public
comments
for
this
particular
meeting.
Those
public
comments
have
been
uploaded
to
the
common
counsel's
web
page,
in
addition
to
the
Facebook
page
and
I
believe
our
attorney
mr.
John
Raphael
Pichardo
is
letting
in
and
admitting
them.
S
E
How
are
you
doing
Cory
Ellis
coming
I
was
a
president.
You
have
five
minutes
to
speak
on
any
subject
you
choose
to
and
at
that
within
four
minutes.
I
will
give
you
a
minute
notice
at
this
time.
Council
members
cannot
respond
to
what
you
have
to
say.
If
they
choose
to,
they
can
do
so
at
a
later
time
during
our
agenda
to
on
the
meeting.
So
you
have
five
minutes
as
I
just
said:
I'm
just
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
yeah
my.
W
Of
you
who
did
not
understand
what
I
just
said,
that
feeling
of
the
unknown
remember
that
feeling
that
is
the
dread
that
looms
over
a
non-english
speaker
when
placed
in
a
situation
where
they
do
not
understand
what
is
being
said
to
them,
nor
how
to
respond.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
address
you
once
more.
While
the
Common
Council
previously
requested
that
the
resolution
regarding
standardized
field
sobriety
test
be
held
in
abeyance
until
today
and
now
urge
you
to
push
forward,
you
are
on
the
heels
of
great
change
in
the
Capitol
district.
W
Your
council
has
pushed
for
extraordinary
changes
such
as
the
repeal
of
58
and
the
push
for
greater
transparency
from
the
Albany
Police
Department
I.
Ask
that
you
do
not
stop
now.
The
world
just
saw
another
catastrophe
column
the
death
of
Rashard
Brooks
after
he
was
thought
by
the
Albany
police
by
police
officers,
not
Albany
for
a
DWI,
related
arrests
within
the
full
scope
of
the
body.
Camera
video.
W
You
are
able
to
see
the
officers
administering
standardized
field
sobriety
tests,
the
same
tests
that
are
in
question
today
now
that
people
are
watching
have
seen
these
tests
and
know
what
these
tests
are.
I
ask
that
you
push
forward
pass
what
is
required.
You
I'm,
not
body
camera,
footage
that
these
tests
are
difficult,
requiring
individuals
to
use
motor
coordination,
skills
and
listening
skills
simultaneously.
Now
imagine
taking
this
test
without
the
ability
to
understand
them.
W
Imagine
failing
these
tests
literally
because
the
instructions
were
foreign
language
team,
as
I
stated
before
in
New
York
under
vehicle
vehicle
and
traffic
law,
eleven.
Ninety
two
three,
a
person
can
be
found
guilty
of
driving,
while
intoxicated
solely
by
way
of
exhibiting
signs
of
intoxication,
such
as
their
speech
and
their
manner
of
understanding.
During
a
standardized
field
sobriety
test,
there
is
no
chemical
test
needed.
W
Essentially,
this
means
that
solely
by
not
understanding
the
instructions
presented
in
English
during
a
standardized
field,
sobriety
test,
a
non-english
speaker
may
be
presumed
to
be
intoxicated
and
charged
criminally
with
a
penalty
of
up
to
one
year
in
jail
for
a
Class,
A
misdemeanor.
The
inability
to
communicate
can
be
frustrating.
Remember
the
feeling
that
you
felt
when
I
first
started
speaking
today.
Can
you
imagine
those
few
moments
of
fear
and
helplessness
that
overwhelms
a
person
when
they
are
stopped
by
an
officer
now
that
fear
is
doubled
due
to
language
barriers?
I.
W
Ask
that
you
mandate
that
non
English
speakers
in
Albany
be
afforded
the
same
opportunity
to
pass
the
standardized
field
sobriety
test
as
native
English
speakers
tonight
you
are
the
voice
for
those
in
your
constituency
as
their
voice
and
as
their
elected
officials,
I
asked
you
to
stand
with
them
and
pass
the
resolution.
Thank
you.
Thank.

The
first
comment
was
provided
by
Sean
color
her
and
it
reads
as
follows:
the
Albany
city
budgets,
2020
general
fund,
has
fifty
four
million
two
hundred
sixty
six
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
five
dollars
allocated
to
the
police
about
thirty
percent
of
the
entire
budget,
more
than
any
other
city
service.
Looking
at
recent
events,
we
can
see
where
this
money
is
being
spent
rubber
bullets,
tear
gas
and
riot
gear
to
turn
against
crowds
of
Albanians
gathering
to
speak
their
minds
provoking
what
would
be
a
peaceful
assembly
into
chaos.
D
Two
weeks
ago,
the
Albany
Police
Department
covered
part
of
Henry
Johnson,
Boulevard
and
tear
gas
to
break
up
a
protest
letting
loose
a
chemical
weapon
that
affects
lungs
into
a
neighborhood,
with
a
higher
than
average
rate
of
respiratory
illness
and
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
which
causes
respiratory
conditions
weaponry
like
this
should
not
be
used
on
our
own
citizens.
Funds
should
be
divested
from
the
police
and
reinvested
into
the
services
that
help
the
people
of
the
city,
education,
infrastructure,
recreation,
housing,
anti-poverty
initiatives.
D
Any
of
these
would
be
more
helpful
than
letting
the
Albany
Police
Department
buy
more
tear
gas
or
maintain
an
armed
Humvee.
Countless
studies
show
that
alleviating
poverty
is
the
most
effective
way
to
reduce
crime
and
that
being
touch
on
crime.
By
given
more
resources
to
the
police
is
counterproductive
and
usually
results
in
unnecessarily
unnecessary
violence
against
black
brown
and
poor
people,
rather
than
public
relations.
D
Moves
like
painting
a
street
or
taking
a
statue
down
the
city
should
help
its
people
by
putting
taxpayer
money
where
it
needs
to
be
and
out
of
the
hands
of
the
over
funded
police.
That
comment
was
provided
by
Sean
Kelleher.
The
addition,
the
second
comment
is
from
Betsy
coglioni,
which
reads
as
follows:
the
Albany
Municipal
Golf
Course
public
use
I,
want
to
advocate
for
a
youths
agreement
for
the
land
and
nature
trails
that
constitutes
the
Capitol
Hills
Golf
area,
so
that
all
Albanians
not
just
golfers,
have
access
to
this
amazing
asset
of
our
community.
D
D
The
middle
of
the
golf
course
holds
14
through
18,
which
are
continuous
with
all
the
trails
on
certain
days
or
continuously
lots
of
options
to
make
this
a
win-win
for
all
Albanians.
This
needs
to
be
an
equitable
plan
that
acknowledges
how
many
thefts,
how
many
thousands
of
people
and
families
walk,
drive,
run
or
bike
to
the
area
which
is
so
accessible
for
city
dwellers
in
order
to
truly
be
out
in
nature.
Thank
you
for
taking
this
into
serious
consideration
and
deliberation,
and
that
is
the
conclusion
of
Betsy
mirco
Guiliano's
comment.
Mr.
E
B
X
You,
mr.
president,
the
council's
planning
economic
development
and
land-use
committee
met
on
June
8th
on
two
ordinances.
The
first
ordinance
AEDT
4120
by
councilmember
do--she,
has
to
do
with
the
ability
to
increase
the
height
of
ability
building
by
one-story.
If
the
developer
developer
puts
on
a
green
roof,
that's
currently
suspended
through
I
think
the
end
of
this
month,
and
so
this
ordinance
would
extend
that
to
2021
june
2021,
and
that
was
passed
with
a
positive
recommendation.
The
second
ordinance
was
ordinance
1580
119
by
councilmember
Hoey,
and
that
had
to
do
with
amending
the
u.s.
X
do
to
ensure
that
no
building
permit
or
demolition
permit
is
issued
prior
to
any
condition
set
by
a
city,
county,
state
or
federal
agency
is
met.
This
legislation
also
16
removed
the
waiver
provision
of
the
USDA
pertaining
to
major
development
plan
review.
That
was
also
approved
with
a
positive
recommendation.
Thank.
P
P
48.61
2020
are
and
what
was
a
resolution
to
call
upon
the
FDA
to
consider
a
blood
donation
policy
not
based
upon
sexual
orientation.
Are
gender
identity
of
the
resolute
shilling
was
amended
to
encourage
our
colleagues
at
the
Congressional
level
to
pass
House
Resolution
999,
govern
blood
and
blood
product
donation
demands,
and
we
demand
the
United
States
Food
and
Drug
Administration
to
change
their
discriminatory
policies
as
it
relates
to
blood
and
blood
product
donation.
This
resolution
was
passed
out
of
committee
with
a
favorable
recommendation,
as
amended
Thank.
A
I'm
you,
the
General,
Services
Committee,
is
going
to
hold
a
joint
meeting
with
the
Recreation
Committee
on
June
29th.
To
consider
both
resolutions
that
pertain
to
use
of
the
golf
course
one
of
those
as
being
withdrawn.
But
the
issue
of
future
uses
of
golf
course
remains
very
much
active
and
then
it
will
also
consider
the
two
street
naming
honorary
naming
resolutions.

we
that

it's
we're
gonna,
be
appointing

Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
this
resolution
is
essentially
banking
state
representatives
and
also
thanking
the
governor
for
their
swift
action
as
a
relates
to
this
section
of
the
civil-rights
law
for
a
pill
since
the
death
of
George
Floyd,
there's
been
many
calls
for
reforms,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
police,
and
this
is
one
of
the
reforms
that
many
advocates
and
many
residents
have
been
advocating
for
and
I'm
glad
to
see
the
state
legislature
and
the
governor
signed
into
law.
N
For
decades,
section
50
of
the
our
state
civil
rights
law
has
served
as
a
barrier
to
justice,
a
barrier
to
hold
bad
police
officers
accountable,
a
barrier
withholding
information
about
a
person's
death
while
in
the
hands
of
police
custody.
Now,
in
the
wake
of
the
protesters
and
demonstrators
in
our
state
and
our
city,
58
is
now
a
thing
of
the
past.
N
Thanks
to
the
efforts
of
longtime
advocates
such
as
community
for
justice,
Citizen,
Action,
and
also
center
for
law
and
justice,
right
here
in
our
city
of
Albany,
with
Alex
green,
the
people
who
marched
in
our
streets
for
the
past
decade
for
the
past
weeks
and,
of
course,
the
council
for
advocating
for
the
repeal
of
58.
This
piece
of
legislation
is
a
thing
of
the
past
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
supporting
it,
and
it's
a
current
form.
They
say
that
sunshine
is
the
best
disinfectant
well
with
the
58.
N
Repeal
I,
truly
hope
that
this
will
increase
transparency.
We
can
better
hold
accountable
any
officer
who
does
anything
wrong
and
have
a
better
platform
for
which
we
can
push
towards
justice
for
all
the
New
York
civil
rights
law.
Section
50
increases
the
harms
caused
to
New
Yorkers,
who
experience
police
abuse
by
denying
them
and
their
loved
ones.
Access
to
information
about
whether
police
department
take
appropriate
action,
as
relates
to
disciplinary
actions
about
the
police
officers
know
so.
Some
of
the
misconduct
that
residents
have
faced
repealing
58
allows
for
more
transparency
and
again.
N
This
is
not
something
that
came
out
of
thin,
there's
been
several
calls
they've
been
pushed
by,
you
know,
city,
they
level,
community
organizations
and
look
we're
not
saying
all
police
officers
are
bad,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
those
who
lose
the
public
trust
are
held
accountable,
and
this
type
of
information
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
It's
not
a
end-all
be-all.
N
There
are
several
instance
right
here
in
the
city
of
Albany
when
you
look
at
Eleazar
Williams,
when
you
look
at
Dante
IV,
where,
if
we
would
have
had
this
repeal,
we
would
have
been
able
to
see
the
police
officers
actions
prior
that
it,
since
it
happened
and
try
to
see
what
type
of
misconduct
has
already
been
filed
against
the
police
officer.
So
again,
I
support
the
police
department,
I
advocate
for
them
for
the
union's
salary
increase.
N
I
also
advocate
for
a
union
contract,
but
when
the
people
are
calling
for
reforms
and
kamek
council
members
and
also
the
mayor,
enact
those
reforms,
we
hope
that
the
the
police
department
will
abide
by
those
reforms
again.
This
is
the
will
of
the
people
and
we
work
for
the
people
and
they
want
to
see
reforms
and
reforms.
They're
gonna
get
it
Thank
You.
Mr.
N
E
E
Right
that
is
exactly
right.
Can
we
mute
everyone
I.
I

A

P
B

P
P
Yes,
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
many
of
us
have
witnessed
during
the
past
few
weeks
a
national
outcry
in
the
wake
of
the
murder
of
George
Floyd
by
officers
sworn
to
protect
and
serve
him.
The
international
outcry
voices,
the
pain,
the
hurt,
the
anger,
the
frustration
that
we
as
black
Americans
have.
We
as
black
Americans,
have
reduced
our
boiling
point
due
to
the
continued
absence
of
equality
and
justice
to
which
we
are
entitled.
P
America
continues
to
ignore
the
fact
that
black
lives
matter
and
the
reason
why
America
is
allowed
to
ignore
that
the
fact
is
because
the
systems
are
designed
against
the
backdrop
of
racism
and
to
keep
black
people
in
bondage,
Frederick
Douglass,
once
the
slavery
is
indeed
gone,
but
its
shadow
still
lingers
over
the
country
and
poisons
more
are
less
the
moral
atmosphere
of
all
sections
of
the
Republic.
When
one
talks
about
the
history
of
the
city
of
Albany,
we
talk
about
Henry
Hudson's,
ride
up
the
Hudson
River.
P
We
talk
about
the
Dungey
and
charter,
a
document
and
recognized
that
I
recognized
Albany
as
the
municipality.
We
talk
about
the
local
Revolutionary
War,
hero,
Philip
Schuyler
and
the
signing
of
the
Declaration
of
Independence
Philip
Livingstone,
but
there's
also
a
history
that
people
who
don't
talk
about
because
oftentimes
people
places
and
things
that
were
good
for
white
history
were
horrific
for
black
history.
We
neglect
to
tell
the
story
of
how
the
forefathers
of
this
city
used
slavery
as
an
economic
engine
to
secure
the
wealth
and
prosperity.
P
We
neglect
to
tell
the
story
of
how
Albany
County
held
one
time
held
more
slaves
than
any
other
county
in
the
state.
We
neglected
to
tell
the
story
of
the
slaves
that
were
hung
from
what
was
called
the
hanging
tree,
the
hanging
elm
tree
located
on
the
corner
of
State
and
Pearl.
We
neglect
to
tell
the
story
of
how
Philip
Scylla
demanded
that
his
runaway
slaves
be
found
and
thrown
in
jail,
and
we
know
what
happens
when
slaves
were
found.
P
Consequently,
black
history
in
the
city
has
been
an
untold
story,
since
the
city's
founding
black
history
has
been
left
in
the
shadows
of
Albany's
white
history.
This
is
why
I
have
decided
to
rename
live,
isn't
Park
blacklivesmatter
Park,
not
out
of
a
moment
to
grandstand,
not
out
of
ego
now
out
of
jumping
on
the
bandwagon?
This.
P
Act
meant
to
reform
systems
are
eliminate,
institutionalized
racism.
We
have
taken
steps
to
do
that
and
we
will
continue
except
to
do
that
as
a
body.
The
renaming
of
this
park
is
out
of
a
declaration
to
signify
that
black
lives
matter
in
Albanese
history,
Albany's,
present
and
Albanese.
Future
this
park
will
be
a
place
where
black
life,
black
history
and
black
culture
can
be
celebrated
and
honored
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
Thank.
E
I
I
I
W
K
E
G
G
You,
mr.
president,
so
this
resolution
would
authorize
a
pilot
agreement
with
conifer
Realty
management
for
the
redevelopment
at
25
Delaware
Avenue
people
will
recall
that
is
the
former
site
of
Senior
Services
of
Albany
and
we'll.
If
the
project
gets
the
necessary
funding
that
we're
hoping
it
will,
this
will
result
in
the
construction
of
approximately
51
units
of
affordable
housing
at
that
site,
and
it
will
also
incorporate
the
existing
building
historic
building
into
that
project
as
well
and
be
an
asset
to
the
neighborhood
it's
on
Delaware
or
a
supermarket
near

South

capably.

N
Discrimination
against
any
group
is
that
discrimination
against
all
over
the
past.
Several
months
in
this
pandemic,
there's
been
announced
a
three
hundred
thousand
confirmed
Cobra
19
cases
and
there's
been
19
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
confirmed
deaths
as
of
May
2020,
which
is
roughly
one
third
of
all
confirmed
coronavirus
cases
in
the
United
States.
As
a
result
of
the
unprecedented
scale
of
devastation,
this
virus
caused
an
urgent
plea
for
blood
donations
has
been
made.
N
It
is
well
documented
that
members
of
the
LGBT
community
desperately
want
to
give
blood
to
their
community,
but
currently
the
FDA
originally
has
a
12
month,
deferment
on
blood
donations
from
gay
and
transgender
men
on
April
20
20.
They
reduced
that
deferment
to
three
months.
This
policy
is
discriminatory
and
in
nature
when
it
comes
to
giving
blood
actually
based
on
science,
not
someone's
sexual
activity
or
gender.
N
So
when
this
legislation
was
brought
to
my
attention,
this
policy
was
brought
to
my
attention.
I
believe
that
it's
important
that
we
send
a
clear
message
that
we
will
not
be
silent
while
another
group
is
being
discriminated,
they
get
discriminated
against
and
I
want
to.
Thank
all
my
colleagues
for
supporting
this
resolution
as
someone
who
have
been
discriminated
against,
while
in
Brooklyn
now
so
sometimes
in
New,
Albany
I
know
what
it's
like
and
I
believe
that
it's
important
to
fight
for
everyone
who
is
being
discriminated
against.
N
N
We
have
to
kalmyk
kalmyk
some
members
actually
quoting
himself
as
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
issues
and
causes
that
many
of
us
many
people
have
fought
for
over
the
years,
and
these
fights
are
not
over
and
I
think
it's
up
to
the
next
generation
of
leaders
to
continue
some
of
these
fights,
but
to
also
remember
our
history
and
some
of
the
actions
that
took
for
us
to
win
some
of
the
liberties
that
we
all
enjoy.
So
I
want
to.
Thank
all
my
colleagues
for
supporting
this
resolution.

Thank
You
mr.
president,
so
June
12th.
Just
last
week,
June
12th
was
the
fourth
anniversary
of
the
POLST
nightclub.
Shooting
in
Orlando,
which
claimed
45
victims
came
in
lesbians
were
predominantly
Hispanic
that
that
evening,
I
think

remember
that
this
same
issue,
the
council
dealt
with
back
in
20
on
June
4
for
that
year,
as
well,
when
council,
member
crasher
and
I
advanced
a
similar
resolution
again
decrying
the
FDA's
policy
and
asked
in
its
discriminatory
aspect
and
asking
for
reform-
and
it
was
awake,
were
many.
G
Many
members
of
the
community
in
Orlando
and
who
wanted
to
donate
blood
in
in
support
of
the
victims
were
not
able
to
that
make
that
simple
sacrifice
or
assistance,
and
so,
although
there
have
been
some
modifications
in
the
policy
since
then,
and
I
will
note
that
the
FDA
just
issued
guidelines
for
the
12-month
deferral,
even
though
they're
moving
to
a
three-month,
those
guidelines
are
out.
Yet
the
policy
is
still
discriminatory
in
its
application
and
best,
arguably
the
only
member
of
this
council
that
might
actually
be
affected
by
it.
G
It's
something
that
you
know
I
feel
strongly
about
as
well.
So
I
do
support
the
resolution
and
moving
forward
with
it.
I
think
it
is,
does
reflect
an
active.
You
know,
discrimination
against
the
gay
community
and
it's
something
that
we
should
once
again,
as
we
did
four
years
ago
in
the
wake
of
pulse,
express
our
opposition
until
the
policy
has
changed
and
I
can't
help,
but
note
that
today
the
Supreme
Court
unexpectedly
made
a
6-3
decision.
G
Expanding
the
1964
not
expanding
actually,
but
confirming
that
the
1964
Civil
Rights
Act
does
apply
to
the
gay
and
lesbian
community
and
the
transgender
community,
which
is
I,
think,
is
significant,
a
significant
move
forward
and,
as
we've
often
said,
our
best
friends
have
been
courts
and
it's
good
to
see
that
the
Supreme
Court
still
is
stands
up
for
equality
and
equal
justice.
In
this
respect.
So
I
will
support
a
co-sponsor,
the
resolution
and
fellow
colleagues
to
support
it
as
well.
Thank.
L
I
I
F
I
C
A
D
P
P
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
president.
So
I
am
particularly
excited
about
this
particular
resolution,
because
this
is
another
way
that
we
are
advocating
for
police
reform,
as
we
have
witnessed
in
our
recent
history
that
the
slightest
misunderstandings
between
police
and
civilians
has
led
to
death
for
some.
P
P
N
N
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
sponsors
for
introducing
this
resolution
as
the
son
of
immigrants
from
West
Africa
Ghana.
Very
too
often
when
individuals
from
you
know
when
English
is
a
barrier
and
as
relates
to
coming
in
communication
with
law
enforcement.
Sometimes
it
will
present
some
barriers
that
many
people
don't
know
what
it
feels
like.
What
it's
like
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
sponsor
during
the
mayor's
state
of
the
city
address.
N
The
mayor
pointed
out
that
the
population
here
in
the
city
of
Albany
is
growing
and
it's
growing,
because
the
immigrant
and
Refugee
community
are
moving
into
this
city
at
a
rapid
rate.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
policies
that
are
enacted
also
have
the
future
in
mind.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsors
of
this
resolution.
It's
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
making
sure
that
this
city
is
for
everyone,
Thank.
Y
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
just
some
quick
comments.
Albany
is
considered
a
sanctuary
City.
We
have
many
individuals
here
where
English
is
not
their
first
language.
I'm
extremely
proud
of
this
resolution,
I'm
going
forward
and
I'm
hopeful
that
the
council
members
will
be
in
support.
We
need
to
stand
by
our
individuals
who
do
not
have
English
as
a
first
language
and
make
sure
that
they
are
being
treated
fairly.
There's
immense
anxiety
that
occurs
if
somebody
gets
pulled
over.
Y
S
R
To
thank
involve
Anson
and
Glenda
on,
and
everyone
on
this,
as
someone
who
has
two
pounds
come
to
this
country
with
English
nap,
be
in
their
first
language,
I
can't
imagine
what
they
would
have
had
to
do
if
they
had
this
type
of
interaction,
I
think
it's
a
good
step
forward.
It
makes
it
so
that
people
get
a
first
shot
at
again.
A
proper
task,
so
I
appreciate
a
lot
support.
R
V
I
C
U
I
D
P
Q
Would
like
to
I
would
like
to
say
something
so
I
would
like
to
talk
about
a
phone
call
that
I
received,
while
we
were
in
caucus.
I
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
our
our
community
center
workers
have
been
laid
off
so
to
speak
and
and
I
just
find
that
bothersome
and
troublesome,
because
it's
money
that
has
been
budgeted
for
the
year
and
these
guys
it's
not
their
fault
that
this
pandemic
hit
and
they
were
given
an
option
to
work
in
a
day
time.
Q
And
you
know:
I
just
wanted
to
have
this
conversation
with
all
my
colleagues
because
I
know
I'm,
not
the
only
person
that
go
through
Albany
in
here
the
things
that
they
hear
about
Parks
and
Recreation
and
I'm
just
acting.
How
long
are
people
gonna
allow
this
stuff
to
continue
continue
without
it
being
fouled
up?
Q
Q
Think
that
you
know
they're
using
the
pandemic
as
a
way
to
manipulate
monies,
because
we
have
monies
in
the
budget
that
were
set
aside,
and
you
know
it
just
looks
like
it's
an
opportunity
for
a
more
plane
of
the
money
to
happen
and
and
I'm
concerned
about
it,
and
I
would
like
to
challenge
people
to
act
off
for
some
of
the
things
that
you
hear
and
other
from
Derek
Johnson,
because
the
word
is
out
there
and
everybody
has
a
lot
of
questions
and
the
reason
why
people
are
coming
forward
because
they
see
the
lack
of
any
follow-through
by
the
people
that
are
talking
right
now.
Q
So
I
think
something
should
be
done.
I
think
that
you
know
this
this
we
have
been
patient.
You
know
people
have
looked
the
other
way.
You
know
I,
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
as
as
bothersome
as
you
know,
we
talk
about
stuff,
that's
going
on
in
other
places,
but
we're
not
focusing
on
the
stuff.
That's
going
down
everyday
with
our
youth
and
our
family.
Q
So
it's
something
that's
near
and
dear
I'm
not
going
to
leave
it
alone,
and
it's
only
going
to
get
louder
from
my
perspective,
but
I
think
that
something
we
need
to
send
a
message
to
our
parents
that
rely
off
Parks
erect
that
rely
off
these
summer,
jobs
that
you
know
we
got
their
back
because,
right
now
everybody
is
in
limbo
and
it's
not
fair.
So
you
know
I
want
to
reiterate
our
part-time
employees
were
given
the
opportunity
to
work
in
a
daytime.
Most
of
those
guys
have
daytime
jobs.
Q
E
Q
The
president,
it's
already
alarming,
when
they're
having
a
cold
meeting
about
two
departments
that
we
have
are
getting
a
law
alarming
number
of
complaints
about
stuff.
That's
going
on
so
I!
Don't
understand
why
it's
a
cold
meeting!
Why
will
we
give
them
a
chance?
We
need
to
be
able
to
go
thick
and
deep
about
what's
going
on
well,.
E
Every
every
meeting
is
the
opportunity
to
dig
into
all
that.
That's
what
the
committee
that's
the
committee
meetings
are
for
is
to
dig
into
all
that
doesn't
matter
if
it's
coal
or
a
single.
Those
are
the
meetings
that
time
frame
is
where,
where
we
request
the
answers
to
be
answered
in
the
question,
those
who
come
in
front
of
us
about
the
policies
and
what
they
do.
So
mr.
O'brien.
A
Yes,
I'm
grateful
that
the
Golf
Course
is
being
open
and
we're
going
to
explore
a
multitude
of
uses
for
one
thing
did
strike
me
down
and
when
the
time
Union
reported
that
the
mayor
had
changed
her
mind
and
was
oak
going
to
open
the
course,
there
was
a
quote
by
a
certain
city
official
who
said
that
the
ggs
workers
have
been
doing
a
minimal
amount
of
maintenance.
Up
until
now,
I
can
tell
you
from
walking
that
golf
course
quite
frequently
that
nothing
is
further
from
the
truth.
A
U
Didn't
find
the
unused
sorry
Oh,
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
I
sent
an
email
out,
I've
been
doing
the
daily
updates
with
the
governor
and
he's
proclaimed
that
by
April
1st
every
city
has
to
come
up
with
new
laws
for
the
police
and
I'm
just
curious.
Are
we
gonna
work
on
that
as
a
council?
Let
me
just
done
in
committee
I'm
just
curious
how
we're
gonna
handle
that
me
only
have
nine
months
and
the
clock
is
ticking.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
Y
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
specifically
compliment
the
public
comment
that
was
made
today
by
Brenda
I
thought.
What
she
did
tonight
was
extremely
powerful.
She
stood
up
for
the
Latin
community
and
people
who
do
not
speak
English
as
their
first
language,
and
she
really
did
us
proud.
So
thank
you
Brenda
for
your
efforts
and
doing
this,
and
thank
you
today,
specifically
for
your
public
comment.
D
E
G
G
That
then
have
to
come
to
the
council
and
that
we
somehow
enact
either
by
resolution
or
local
law
and
I'm
sure.
And
as
we
will
discuss
this,
hopefully
our
next
caucus.
But
the
council
should
be
a
part
of
that
process.
That
community-based
process
in
developing
whatever
plan
finally
comes
to
us,
and
this
wanted
to
know
you
know
looking
at
there
are
so
many
parts
of
our
code
that
are
outdated
and
obsolete
and
needs
some
revisions
and
reform.
G
So
we
should
also
look
at
this
this
direction
and
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
it
at
reform
and
look
at
it
as
an
opportunity
also
to
possibly
clean
up
and
Rico,
defy
that
section,
so
that
there's
a
clear,
clean
section
on
Police
Department
operations
and
policies
and
directions
that
are
are
all
in
one
place
and
in
that
area,
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
this
process,
we
have
until
April
1,
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
we're
also
doing
at
a
time
we're
you
know,
confronting
budget
challenges.
G
E
You
Thank
You
mr.
Conte
and
I
can
assure
you.
The
council
leadership
has
already
made
its
intentions
clear
to
the
administration,
because
this
has
to
be
passed
by
us
that
we
are
going
to
taking
a
leadership
role
as
far
as
the
community
input
on
this
on
this
on
this
matter.
So
thank
you
and
mr.
Conte,
and
thank
you
for
your
help
and
thank
you
for
helping
us.
You
know
navigate
through
this,
especially
with
the
police,
cold
department,
stuff.
E
P
One
too,
at
this
moment
and
publicly
commend
mayor
Sheen
in
removing
the
statue
from
in
front
of
City
Hall
I
think
it
was
a
move
that
was
long
overdue
as
a
black
man
who
was
a
part
of
this
institution,
I
am
pretty
sure
that
many
black
members
of
the
council
and
also
staff,
and
they
you
know
people
of
color-
that
work
in
administration
who
know
the
history
behind
that
statue
I,
believe
it
was
a
burden
lifted
off
our
shoulders
because
off
times
you
know,
people
want
the
statue
up
there
because
they
like
to
romanticize
slavery.
P
However,
slavery
was
cruel
and
it
was
harsh
until
this
day
our
people
still
haven't
recovered
from
the
vestige
of
the
vestiges
of
slavery.
So
that's
the
removing
that
statue
shows
the
city's
commitment
in
addressing
the
systemic
issues
that
plague
our
cities.
So
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
mayor
on
her
move
to
do
that.
I
J
So
two
things
one
is:
you
know:
we're
receiving
calls
to
defund
the
police
and
I.
Don't
think
that
most
people
mean
completely
defunded,
but
to
direct
some
of
the
funding
towards
other
services
and
there's
been
the
mayor.
I.
Think
leadership
is
indicated
that
there
people
are
looking
at
how
to
do
things
differently.
G
J
I
think
last
year
that
there
was
a
certain
amount
of
frustration
that
the
administration
was
not
forthcoming
with
plans
with
regard
to
the
2020
budget,
and
we
are
looking
at
the
development
of
the
2021
budget
beginning
in
the
administration
right
now,
and
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
we
hold
a
Finance
Committee
meeting
to
have
some
conversations
about
priorities
and
changes.
I
know
that
it's
challenging,
in
light
of
where
we
are
with
the
funding
that
we've
lost
thus
far,
making
it
difficult
to
anticipate
anticipate
funding
in
the
future.
J
But
I
think
we
should
be
having
some
conversations
about
priorities
overall
with
regard
to
what
the
residents
of
Albany
want
to
support
most
highly
with
regard
to
use
of
taxpayer
funds
and
other
funds
available
to
the
city
and
and
then
the
second
thing
is
I
thought
that
there
was
some
discussion
regarding
us
having
a
meeting
with
the
police
chief
with
regard
to
what
has
been
going
on
questions
that
we
have.
What
changes
are
planned.
J
And
and
am
I
wrong
about
that,
and
if
not
I
would
like
us
to
have
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
police
chief,
because
we
need
to
be
having
those
conversations
our
next
clock.
Asst
is
not
for
over
two
weeks.
It's
on
would
be
on
July
1st
I
believe
our
next
full
council
meeting
I
think
is
sometime
around
the
9th
of
July.
So
that's
almost
you
know
30
days,
it's
like
something
something
like
you
know,
20-something
days
from
now
and
I
I,
don't
think
it
in
light
of
the
community
interest.
J
I
think
that
we
should
be
taking
more
affirmative
action
regarding
plans
for
changes
in
the
way
we
we
do
things
and
I
think
we
would
like
to
think
that
we're
not
like
some
of
the
other
cities.
You
know
we
had
community
policing,
etc,
but
we've
had
some
pretty
horrific
incidents
here
in
the
city
of
Albany.
J
I
can
easily
see
what
happened
in
Atlanta
recently
happening
here
with
things
so
easily
spinning
out
of
control,
and
there
needs
to
be
I.
Think
a
different
mindset
and
more
of
a
dialogue
about
these
kinds
of
things
and
I
want
to
say
you
know
as
we're
looking
to
negotiate
a
as
insidious'
negotiating
a
contract
with
a
police
union.
I.
Think
that
that's
another
reason
why
we
should
be
having
active
conversations
about
what
we
expect
in
that
contract.
J
I
think
that
we
want
to
see
our
police
officers
be
compensated
better
than
they
are
it's
long
overdue
for
a
contract.
But
I
think
that
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
are
appropriate
and
some
of
the
changes
that
need
to
take
place
are
appropriate
conversations
for
a
part
of
those
negotiations.
E
Thank
You
mr.
Shea,
also
much
to
show
you
I
think
also
for
finance
mr.
Johnson
and
mentioned
furloughs,
so
I
think
we
need
to
really
talk
about
that,
because,
if
that's
part
of
questions
we've
been
asking
about
how
we
adjusting
to
our
budget,
that
sounds
like
a
budget
issue
and
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out.
If
you
know
we
haven't
heard
anything
of
furloughs
today.
So
that's
part
of
what
how
we're
addressing
this
dis
year's
budget
that
needs
to
be
a
further
deeper
conversation
than
just
park
of
recreations.
E
That's
what
the
administration
is
going
to
be
doing,
they're
going
to
be
following
people
we'd
like
to
know
how
how
they're
going
about
them.
They
think
that
goes
back
to
miss
Farrell's
point
as
the
chair
of
Finance
continuously
asking:
where
are
we
with
with
layoffs?
Where
are
we
and
that
these
furloughs
is
part
of
that
process?
We
really
need
to
dig
deep
into
that
and
also
about
the
reforms.
I
think
this
council
and
I
will
say
this.
E
Yes,
you
know
the
chief
and
whoever
your
points
will
be
coming
in
front
of
us
because
we're
going
to
have
to
do
this
together,
but
this
is
not
going
to
be
coming
down
from
administration.
This
is
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
running
parallel
tracks
as
a
council
and
having
engaged
in
this.
This
conversation,
as
well
as
the
community,
engage
in
it
as
a
conversation.
So
that's
why
I
said
the
caucus,
because
we
want
you
know
I
see.
Members
are.
E
About
what
what
what
we
can
do,
I
think
I
know
caucus
or
doing
emails.
We
just
start
putting
out
there.
This
is
what
we'd
like
to
see
so
that
when
we
can
put
it
together
a
bigger
package,
so
we
know
how
we're
starting
this
process
off.
Yes,
we
we've
been
very
clear
of
our
intentions
of
the
council,
because
I
knew
when
this
came
down.
E
I
knew
knowing
the
feelings
of
the
council,
where
you
guys
would
want
how
you
want
to
play
an
active
role
and
not
just
waiting
for
the
administration
to
tell
us
these
are
reforms
or
looking
at.
This
is
what
we
heard
from
community
members,
but
we
really
want
to
look
at
what
we've
known
already
and
also
engaged
our
community
in
progressive
way.
So
mr.
homie
I,
let
you
speak
one
more
time
sure.
U
B
Yeah
no
I'm,
just
adding
the
Public
Safety
Committee,
is
going
to
be
meeting
with
the
regarding
mr.
Robinson's
or
miss.
It
might
be
an
opportunity
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
chief
around
some
of
these
issues.
I
mean
we
don't
want
to
rush
through
an
overlap,
business
but
I
think
there
could
be
time
made
for
that,
but
also
be
separate,
and
apart
from
the
you
know,
the
reforms
I
mean
before
the
you
know,
58.
B
Before
all
of
that
stuff
passed,
we
were,
we
were
discussing
what
we
could
do
with
our
CPR
be
separate
and,
apart
from
what
what
would
be
done
based
on
the
governor's
and
the
Legislature's
decisions,
so
we
have
some
some
options.
We
have
a
lot
of
stuff
to
think
about.
Richard
I,
like
Corey,
said
I,
know
you
there
in
the
beginning,
and
you
understand
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
We
got
to
put
our
heads
together
and
and
come
up
with
a
good
good
for
our
folks,
because
the
time
is
now
really.
