B
Okay,
hello:
everyone
welcome
to
the
july
15th
caucus
of
the
albany
common
council
for
the
record
council
members,
hoey
fahey.
B
I
go
o'brien
pharaoh,
I'm
not
sure
who
that
person
is
flynn
are
here
along
with
our
our
staff
city,
clerk,
danielle
gillespie,.
B
B
I
think,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff.
David
gallon,
also
see
council
member
ballon
has
joined
us
so
I'll
just
just
get
right
into
the
agenda
under
approval
of
minutes
for
previous
meeting
the
july
6
2020
council
meeting
minutes
will
be
offered
for
passage
here.
B
Under
the
council,
president
ellis
has
joined
us
also
under
consideration
of
local
laws.
Local
law
g
will
be
withdrawn
by
the
sponsor
by
mr
nani.
B
Okay
on
to
consideration
of
ordinances,
we
have
ordinance
13
72
20
by
mr
anani,
regarding
planting
the
trees
in
the
city,
mr
inani.
B
We're
to
your
ordinance,
13,
72,
20.,
okay,
great.
D
Yeah,
so
thank
you.
You
know
street
trees
play
an
important
role.
They
provide
shade
stability,
soak
up
storm
water
and
also
beautify
neighborhoods.
D
Currently,
dgs
forestry
division
is
responsible
for
all
aspects
of
trees,
related
issues
on
public
right-of-ways,
including
tree
planting
dead,
trees,
tree
removals
and
also
stump
removals
to
encourage
plants
in
the
city
of
albany.
The
city
will
underwrite
one
half
of
the
cost
of
purchasing
and
plant
the
tree.
This
program
relies
on
the
interest
of
property
owners
to
be
effective
and
must
opt
in.
Thus,
when
a
street
tree
is
removed,
unless
the
property
owner
proactively
approached
the
city
or
replacement
no
replacement
tree
is
planted.
D
This
has
resulted
in
many
streets
and
albany
without
street
trees,
predominantly
streets
and
neighborhoods,
in
which
our
buildings
are
owned
by
absentee
landlords.
This
is
an
equity
issue.
Let's
face
it.
Neighborhoods
without
street
trees
in
the
city
are
those
with
the
highest
poverty
rates.
Those
with
economic
and
investment
challenges
so
to
ensure
street
trees
are
replaced
when
removed.
B
Yeah
thanks
that'll
be
going
to
general
services,
so
you'll
get
a
chance
to
to
remake
that
those
comments.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next,
on
the
agendas
ordinance
14
70
20,
also
by
you,
which
will
also
be
going
to
general
services.
But
do
you
want
to
say
something
about
it.
D
Yeah,
so
this
legislation
required
department
of
general
service
to
do
inspections
of
properties
within
three
days
of
receiving
a
complaint,
as
well
as
raising
the
surcharges
and
penalties.
D
So
in
albany,
if
you
have
trash
or
overgrown
weeds
in
front
of
your
house,
the
city
will
post
it
after
a
complaint
has
been
made,
and
then
the
city
will
give
you
five
business
days
to
clear
it.
Well,
we
have
witnessed
that
even
with
the
five
business
days,
dgs
does
not
come
to
take
care
of
the
until
the
15th
or
the
20th
day.
I
want
to
show
in
the
time
frame,
to
72
hours.
I
firmly
believe
by
showing
the
time
frame.
D
B
B
Thanks,
we
have
68
72
20
resolution
regarding
this.
The
city
treasurer's
office,
entering
into
an
agreement
with
the
cooperative
liquid
assets
security
system,
says
to
be
determined,
but
miss
pharaoh
will
you
this
will
be
yours,
you
carry
that
and
we
will
refer
it
to
finance.
F
B
Good
all
right,
thanks
all
right
next
resolution:
69
72
20r,
it's
a
reappointment
of
andre
lake
to
the
sustainability
sustainability
advisory
committee.
He
it's
a
re
appointment,
so
we'll
have
him
come
in
because
it's
been
a
while.
I
don't
know
if
that
we
need
to
do
the
committee
thing,
but
we
we
should
certainly
have
him,
come
into
a
caucus
and
and
kind
of
give
us
an
update
on
how
it's
been
going
and
and
his
thoughts
on
on
sustainability.
B
G
Kelly
or
yeah
you
you
have,
there
are
three
appointments
related
to
the
sustainability
committee
right.
So
I
I
don't
know
the
last
time
the
sustainability
committee
did
a
report
to
either
the
planning
committee
or
anything.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
do
a
committee
wise
or
or
if
you
want
to
do
full
caucus.
B
B
H
Andre
lake
actually
was
appointed
in
2018,
yes,
but
the
the
other
two
are
have.
Their
appointments
have
expired.
One
expired
in
2016,
the
other
one.
Let's
say:
oh
no,
tina
lieberman.
She
was
appointed
in
2018.,
so
she
needs
to
be
reappointed.
So.
I
I
have
a
question:
it's
jamel,
so
do
we
currently
send
out
reminders
to
the
the
committees
and
the
boards
and
all
that
when
their
reports
are
due
to
us,
do
we
send
out
those
out
to
them
and
if
not,
can
we
start
doing
that
to
make
sure
we
get
the
reports
on
time.
B
Yeah
michelle,
you
could
speak
better
to
that,
but
just
based
on
emails,
I've
been
getting
in
the
last
couple
months
and
some
of
the
other
members
she's
been
double
time
and
trying
to
gather
this
information
and
get
updates
from
all
of
our
boards
and
committees.
B
J
I
have
I
just
have
to
get
them
to
I
mean
I've
been
several
different
departments
and
individuals.
That's
responsible
for
these
reports.
I
just
haven't
been
getting
reports
back.
That's
just
it's
been
reminders.
Yeah.
A
B
B
And
so,
okay
for
the
the
resolution
that
was
69
72
20.,
mr
sheehan
is
70.
72,
20
and
miss
lieberman
is
71,
72
20
they're
all
reappointments,
and
they
will
be
going
to
the
planning
committee.
B
And
so
that
well
actually
on
our
active
calendar
pending
the
planning
meeting
on
the
16th
mr
o'brien's
resolution,
62
71
20,
maybe
up
for
passage
or
vote
depending
on
the
outcome
of
that
meeting.
F
B
So
we,
what
we'll
do
is
we
have?
We
received
that
report.
B
So
miss
farrell.
Will
you
take
us
through
the
finances?
That's
why
we
have
mr
galen,
mr
wheeler,
here
to
kind
of
go
through
that
information
that
they
sent
us.
So
you
take
it
from
here.
E
Into
I'll
let
david
and
mike
take
over
kind
of
presenting
that
powerpoint
and
then
we
can
get
into
it.
E
Yeah,
no,
no,
that's
my
brain
just
wasn't
working
it.
It's
been
a
long
week,
but
why
don't
we
talk
about
the
finances
and
then
we
can
talk
about
police
reform,
so
everybody
got
the
that
the
powerpoint
that
went
out.
We
did
get
some
questions
back.
Thank
you
so
much
for
everybody
that
sent
questions
we
forward
those
on
to
mike
and
david,
and
I
don't
think
they're
going
to
be
able
to
answer
all
of
the
questions
that
were
shared.
E
L
L
It
is
a
slide
that
I
know
we've
gone
into
some
detail
in
the
past
and
we
can
answer
some
questions
and
I
know
mike's
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
what
he's
looking
at
right
now
and
in
terms
of
forecasting
and
and
doing
a
a
review
of
this
slide,
but
just
to
contextualize
the
situation
for
everyone
as
you've
all
been
made
aware
and
you've
heard
in
them
in
the
media.
Right
now
we
have
a
18,
approximately
an
18
million
dollar
shortfall.
L
That's
projected
due
to
covid
and
the
decrease
in
anticipated
revenues
as
a
result
and
as
a
slide
shows,
you
know
again,
part
of
that
is
state
aid,
a
decrease
in
anticipated
state
aid
that
has
been
indicated
by
the
governor.
We've
got
a
decrease
in
sales
tax,
a
variety
of
decreases
in
departmental
income
and
then
also
again,
we'll
note
on
the
bottom
there
that
there
is
a
500
000
discrepancy,
but
that's
partially
because
the
budget
said
we
were.
We
were
budgeting
for
12.5
million
in
capital
city
funding
and
we
got
12.
L
my
I'll
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mike,
though,
to
kind
of
to
go
into
the
numbers
in
a
little
bit
more
detail.
And
if
you
have
any
questions
as
we
go
along,
feel
free
to
feel
free
to
ask
them.
L
F
I
do
want
to
judy
made
a
good
point
that
I
know
it
says
19
of
a
reduction.
It's
really
about
10
reduction
of
the
overall
revenue
side
of
the
budget.
What's
on
the
slide.
F
L
L
Yeah
I'll,
just
repeat
what
you
yeah
I'll
just
I
I'm
people
probably
got
bits
and
pieces,
but
judy
did
raise
a
point
earlier
that
when
you,
when
you
look
at
the
slide
at
first
glance,
it
looks
like
it's
a
19
decrease
in
in
total
total
revenues
for
the
budget.
L
Our
budget
is
approximately
181
million
dollars,
so
judy's
correct
is
only
about
a
10
reduction
in
the
in
the
when
you
take
when
you're
looking
at
the
totality
of
the
entire
budget,
it's
19
of
the
the
revenues
that
we're
looking
at
that
are
being
impacted
so
that
that
just
to
make
that
distinction,
so
there's
no
confusion
that
this
isn't
a
a
20
total
budget
decrease.
It's
a
it's
a
20
of
these
revenues
that
we
anticipate
are
going
to
be
impacted
by
kovid.
F
And
also
in
regards
to
to
these
revenues,
I
know
there
was
a
request
to
kind
of
give
the
detailed
calculations
of
how
how
we
got
to
this.
I
do
have
that,
but,
to
be
honest,
I'm
just
finishing
up
a
mid-year.
L
I'll,
just
repeat
what
mike
what
mike
was
saying
he's
working
on
a
mid-year
forecast.
He
is
a
month
it's
approximately
a
month
behind,
based
on
where
we
normally
would
be
due
to
everything
going
on,
but
one
of
the
other
things
that
judy
judy
asked
for
was
a
breakdown,
particularly
in
the
departmental
income
and
all
other
income
categories,
just
to
see
what's
what's
driving
those
numbers.
So
what
mike?
What
mike
is
promising
is
once
he
completes
that
review
that
mid-year
review.
L
Then
we'll
we'll
circulate
what
those
total
projections
are
are
looking
like
on
our
end,
so
these
totals
will
change
a
bit,
which
is
why
we
don't
want
to
share
it
now,
because
it's
just
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
different
in
a
couple
weeks.
So
we'll
we'll
we'll
revise
after
mike,
completes
his
mid-year
review
and
then
send
over
the
the
line
by
line
total.
L
So
you
have
a
better
sense
of
what's
driving,
but
just
generally
speaking,
these
departmental
income
numbers,
a
big
chunk
of
it,
has
to
do
with
reduction
in
parking
meter
revenue
again.
Obviously,
sales
tax
is
a
big
driver
here,
but
a
decrease
in
our
rops
different
types
of
permits
that
that
have
application
fees
just
kind
of
across
the
board,
but
depending
on
these,
the
actual
service
itself,
a
decrease
in
a
variety
of
different
departmental
income.
L
So
we'll
we'll
break
that
down
more
specifically
and
get
a
more
accurate
number
for
each
of
those
revenues
to
to
each
of
you.
E
Can
I
just
and-
and
I
think,
like
I
put
my
hand
up
and
judy
has
her
hand
up
so
I'm
sorry.
E
Six
of
you,
no,
no,
I
see
we
put
the
little
participants
list
up
and
it's
just
better
that
way,
and
then
we
we
have
our
hands
raised.
Virtually
so
do
you
have
so
what
would
be
great
is
if
there
was
some
sort
of
timeline
that
we
could
have
so
that
we
can
circle
back
of
and
ask
about
it.
Do
you
have
a
timeline
of
when
that
mid-year
review
is
going
to
happen?
I.
L
Know
mike's
mike,
is
in
the
process
of
doing
it.
Now
I
don't
know
when
he's
going
to
be
done.
I
I
know
I
don't
want
to
over
over
sell
his
his
timeline
here.
Are
you
there
mike.
L
M
M
That
is
reimbursable
because
a
lot
of
events
have
been
getting
sold.
Could
you
tell
me
how
much
is
that.
F
It's
what's
in
here
is
about
600
600
000
police
overtime,
so
we
did
take
that
correlating
correlation.
That
difference
is
also
coming
down
on
the
expense
side.
So
there
are.
There
are
a
handful
of
things
in
in
the
budget
that
are
like
that,
so
where,
whereas
we
do
see
a
revenue
reduction
on
one
side,
we
do
see
a
correlation
of
expense
decreases
on
the
other,
so
those
are
tied
together.
F
So
what
I
really
want
to
do
with
what
my
forecast
has
done,
is
kind
of
take
and
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
ahead,
but
where,
where
there's
hiring
freeze
and
where
they're
spending
freeze
a
lot
of
this,
that's
being
dumped
directly
in
there.
So
I
really
want
to
pull
those
out
and
kind
of
and
show
where
those
offsets
are
in
a
little
more
detailed
way.
M
Yeah
so
I
mean
so
that's
specifically
part
of
what
I
think
we
should
be
educating
the
council
about
is
because,
in
some
cases
some
of
these
cuts
are
and
decreases
in
revenues
and
and
decreases
in
staffing,
isn't
anything
above
and
beyond
what
would
normally
happen
under
you
know,
under
the
code
kind
of
situation,
so
it's
it's
not
like
an
additional
penalty
in
a
sense
because
there's
nothing
we
can
do
about
it
until
we
decide
to
start
holding
of
it.
That's
like
that
again.
M
So
that's
one
thing.
The
other
thing
is
that
I
just
want
to
touch
upon
here
is
we're
looking
at
departmental
income
and
a
reduction.
Does
your
reduction
here
include
the
reduction
that
we
anticipate
versus
what
was
in
the
budget
for
golf
course,
income.
F
It
does
it
what's
in
here
now
is
actually
really
based
on
the
golf
course
had
it
not
been
opening,
so
we
do
have
to
make
the
adjustments
for
the
golf
course
on
both
on
both
the
revenue
side
and
the
expense
side.
So
that's
why
there's
there's
a
few
assumptions
we
made
earlier
that
that
aren't
really
that
aren't.
That
did
not
happen.
That
way,
that
which
is
why
I
want
to
give
you
the
updated
draft
of
all
this
but
golf
the
golf
revenue
loss
is
in
there
and
it's
also
in
it's.
Also.
M
Yeah,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not,
I
want
to
say
double
dipping
on
on
the
impact,
and
you
know
a
loss
of
revenue
from
the
golf
course
belongs
in
the
loss
of
revenue.
It
doesn't
belong
as
as
a
saving.
M
You
know,
like
I
don't
know
what
you
did
on
the
other
page,
but
when
we
get
there,
so
that's
that's
something
I
I
just
think
should
be
clearly.
Some
of
these
things
should
be
clearly
laid
out
broken
out.
F
E
E
G
Yeah
quick
question
sort
of
two
part:
two:
have
we
to
date
experienced
any
state
aid
withholds
at
this
point.
G
Okay
and
the
second
question
is
originally
under
the
state
legislation.
As
far
as
state
deficit
reduction,
budget
division
was
supposed
to
submit
their
itemized
deficit
reduction
plan
by
in
the
first
quarter
of
the
state
fiscal
year,
which
is
now
passed,
and
I
understand
now
they're
saying
that
they're
not
likely
to
put
out
an
itemized
plan
until
sometime
late
in
the
second
quarter,
which
I
believe
would
be
around
september,
so
absent
estate
plan.
How
are
you
factoring
in
what
potential
state
reductions
might
be
or
you're
just
assuming
like
a
20
reduction
at
this
point
and.
F
That
is
we're
assuming
the
20
and
the
majority
of
our
of
our
state
aid
we
get
towards
the
end
of
the
year,
so
we
don't
really
have
any
reason
to
change
that
right
now,
one
way
or
the
other.
We
just
knew
that
there
was
that
you
know
the
governor
was
was
pretty
firm
on
that
20
cut.
So
that's
what
we're
using
if
that
change
as
well,
certainly
adjust
these
numbers.
G
G
M
D
D
Yeah,
hey
mike,
my
question
is
more
so
on
the
revenue
very
too
often
we,
particularly
in
these
times,
local
government
and
county
government,
are
looking
at
the
federal
government.
For
you
know,
aid
and
additional
funding.
Have
we
also
looked
at
some
of
these
big
nonprofits
here
in
our
city,
as
it
relates
to
the
voluntary
pilot
agreement
that
we
have
in
place?
Is
anyone
making
any
type
of
payment
or
have
anyone
made
a
phone
call
to
even
make
up
on
their
agreement?.
F
I
I
haven't,
but
I
normally
don't
don't
perform
that
that
function,
david
david
may
have
david
and
even
theirs
have
more
insight
into
that.
I
do
know
that
some
of
our
larger
non-profits
are
hospitals
and
hospitals
are
struggling
through
this.
So
are
we
as
a
yeah,
I
know
so
it's
you
know
it's
kind
of
like
we're
all
we're
all
in
this.
At
the
same
time
and
there's
a
lot
of
wells
out
there
that
are
are
drying
up
like
we
are
due
to
covid.
So
it's
it's.
It's
a
difficult
situation.
D
Yeah-
and
the
next
thing
I
like
to
talk
about
too,
is
that
looking
at
the
county,
for
example,
with
sales
tax
revenue,
are
we
also
getting
our
fair
share
from
the
county
into
the
city
of
albany?
I
know
there
are
many
municipalities
that
have
a
50,
50
sales
tax
split,
that's
something
I'm
looking
into
and
if
there's
any
additional
information
that
you'd
like
to
share
to
accomplish
this,
I
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
look
into
it,
but
I
think
right
now,
hello,
oh
go
ahead.
D
I
just
want
to
say
the
taxpayers
of
our
city
is
struggling
and
we
have
to
figure
out
where
we're
going
to
generate
revenue
from
who
owes
money
and
it's
time
to
pay
up,
and
so
I
just
want
to
just
throw
that
out
there
for
individuals
start
thinking
about
ways,
because,
depending
on
the
federal
government,
I'm
sorry,
but
I
don't
have
faith
in
number
45
to
bail
out
the
city
of
albany.
D
So
we
have
to
look
at
some
of
the
big
non-profits
and
also
look
at
our
county
for
some
assistance
and
look
for
some
aid,
as
it
relates
to
sales
tax
revenue.
So
I
just.
D
Out
there
you
know
this
time.
I
have
a
lot
of
free
time,
so
I'm
going
to
be
looking
into
it,
but
if
anyone
has
some
recommendations
open
to
it,.
F
I
can
tell
you
from
a
budget
perspective.
We
have
we've
been
talking
about
this
since
really
the
day
I
got
here
was
about
getting
a
a
a
larger
share
of
the
pie
from
the
county
better
than
60
40.
For
sure-
and
you
know
we-
you
know
at
one
point-
we
tried
we
looked
into
seeing
what
would
be
like
if
we
broke
out
on
our
own,
but
it
just
didn't
seem
like
that
was
really.
F
That
was
really
the
way
to
go,
but
we
we
definitely
would
definitely
would
love,
would
love
to
see
an
increase
in
increased
share
for
sure.
Thank.
D
E
Guys,
just
a
quick
note:
first
of
all,
david
is
having
some
technical
issues.
He'll
be
right
back,
but
also,
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
if
you
can
remember
to
try
to
virtually
raise
your
hands,
you
go
over
to
the
participant
line.
You
pull
that
up
and
put
your
hand
up,
and
that
way,
because
it's
hard
to
see
people
so
that
way
everybody
can
be
seen
and
we
can
make
sure
richard
like
richard.
Just
did
I
just
lowered
it
so
on
our,
I
guess
david
had
the
next
slide
too.
E
Is
it
possible
okay,
sorry
mike,
is
it
possible?
Can
you
begin
to
start
talking
about
that.
F
F
Oh
okay,
cool,
so
danielle.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next,
the
next
slide
that
has
the
yeah
the.
So
this
is
what
we're
looking
at
now,
as
as
our
as
our
are
really
our
our
main
opportunity
to
significantly
reduce
this
gap.
I
know
judy
had
wondering
was
wondering
what
that
would
leave
us
as
far
as
as
reserves.
After
using
this,
this
will
pretty
much
deplete
our
entire
debt
reserve.
F
Normally,
I
know
actually
1.8
million
years
before
you've
done
a
million.
I
am
not
confident
that,
after
using
this,
if
we
do
need
to
use
this,
we
will
get
back
to
even
that
million
dollar
mark
again,
I
think
it's
pretty
much
it'll
only
be
what
we
earned
this
year
and
with
everything
all
the
raids
being
flat,
I'm
not
sure
how
much
earning
there's
going
to
be
there,
so
that
would
fundamentally
kind
of
out
that
debt
reserve
good
news
on
the
fund
balance
transfer
is.
F
We
did
have
a
surplus
of
5.3
million
for
2019,
so
it
did
bring
up
our
fund
balance
to
14.4
million,
so
the
use
of
this
the
use
of
this
would
bring
us
down
to
about
nine
million.
Now
I
know
you're
thinking.
Oh
well,
you're
not
thinking
it,
but
you
could
be
thinking.
Oh
yeah,
we
got
nine
million.
Let's
just
we
can
fix
the
whole
thing
without
without
really
too
much
pain
and
the
reality
is.
Is
we
don't
know
where
kobet's
going
what's
going
to
happen?
F
What
next
year
is
going
to
look
like
is
the
account.
When
is
the
economy
going
to
come
back?
I
think
it's.
You
know.
We
need
to
really
be
be
judicious
about
how
we,
how
we
use
our
reserves
and
and
think
about
what
may
be
necessary
going
into
next
year
as
well,
so
hopefully,
with
a
vaccine
and
federal
stimulus.
This
is
all
just
moot,
but
at
this
point
that's
kind
of
you
know
what
we're
thinking
about.
Why
just
using
the
four
and
a
half,
and
not
a
little
bit
more
right
now.
F
All
right,
so
so
really
the
budgetary
savings
you'll
see
we
can,
you
know
we
kind
of
separated.
They
were
kind
of
things
that
I
could
pick
off,
that
I
knew
that
were
available
without
getting
real
deep
into
the
rest
of
the
operations
of
of
the
departments.
F
So
this
is
something
I
wanna
I
wanna
play
with
and-
and
you
know
make
a
little
bit
different
as
well
is
like
how
judy
was
saying
before
that.
If
you
look
at,
I
think
your
questions
actually
later,
if
you
look
at
police
details,
shouldn't
that
ot
be
budgetary
savings
and
and
she
and
she's
right
and
right
now
I
have
kind
of
everything,
salary
related
rolling
into
that
hiring,
freeze
and
everything.
Non-Personnel.
H
F
That
way,
so,
and
so
if
we,
if
you
go
to
the,
if,
if
you
go
to
the
next
one,
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
were
that
were
available
for
us.
That's
time,
if
you
go
to
the
one
that
says
budget
adjustments
there,
you
go
the
snow
removal.
We
literally
have
used
no
contract,
it's
no
removable
money
for
for
2020.
F
So
what
I
took
here
was
what
I
felt
was
a
very
conservative
amount
that
would
still
leave
dgs
enough
funds
for
november
and
december
storms
as
big
as
any
we've
seen
in
the
last
three
to
four
years,
so
they
even
even
if
they
were
to
have
another
22
24
inch
snowstorm
in
december.
There's
still
enough
left
in
there
to
cover
those
costs.
F
F
You're
good,
we
can
hear
you,
oh
okay,
so
this
insurance
is
pull
lisa's
piece
of
what
is
our
general
city
insurance
that
gets
allocated
to
them,
and
I
noticed
that
this
year
they
are
significantly
higher
than
where
I
think
they're
going
to
be
based
on
on
what
what.
F
The
year
with
special
items,
I
have
that
coming
from
three
different
sources:
50
000
from
unallocated
insurance,
which
is
also
this
piece
of
of
citywide
insurance.
We
generally
have
more
here
in
this
line
because
and
then
because
and
then
kind
of
dispense
it
out,
but
we
only
put
a
little
more
in
there
because
sometimes
the
bills
overlap,
but
you
need
to
have
more
otherwise
you're
going
to
ena
every
time.
So
there
should
be
savings
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
that
category.
F
Judgments
and
claims
are
significantly
down
from
this
time.
Last
year
and.
M
Can
I
can
I
just
interrupt
you,
I
don't
know
about
everybody
else,
but
part
of
your
coverage
of
the
insurance
piece.
When
you
were
talking
about
the
police,
you
said
that
there
was
a
piece
of
this
that
was
from
our
general
budget
that
is
allocable
to
the
police,
and
you
said
something
I.
F
F
No,
I
no,
I
said
I
said
what
happens.
Is
we
have
generally
the
bills
come
in?
They
go
to
our
overall
unallocated
insurance
line
in
especially
in
special
items.
Treasury
then
takes
that
payment
and
allocates
it
out
to
the
departments
to
some
of
the
departments
like
fire
lake
lake
dgs,
lake
police.
What's.
A
G
F
Was
based
on
what
was
budgeted
and
based
on
the
payments
coming
through
through
the
year,
so
the
other
thing
I
did
was
there's
also
a
line
for
taxing
a
set,
an
assessment
that
we've
been
well
over
budget
for
a
couple
of
years
now,
so
there
is
opportunity
there,
though
it's
really
a
combination
of
things,
the
only
and
undistributed.
F
E
I
just
a
note,
jim
and
request
to
everybody
in
instead
of
just
jumping
in.
If
you
could
raise
your
hand,
jamelle
has
his
hand
raised
for
a.
I
Question:
okay:
I'm
not
sure
how
to
ask
this
question
so
bear
with
me.
I
know
one
of
the
quite
the
criticisms
of
the
previous
city
auditor
susan
rizzo
was
that
our
funds
not
being
in
high
yield
interest
accounts.
So
I
wanted
to
know.
Are
we
taking
a
look
at
that,
especially
in
the
condition
that
we're
in?
Are
we
taking
a
look
at
that
going
forward
into
reallocating
funds
towards
more
high-yield
interest,
bearing
accounts
and
yeah?
I
F
I
will
say
that
we
from
budget
did
agree
with
stu
early
on
and
made
significant
strides
working
with
treasury.
To
get
more
of
our
funds
invested
in
a
lot
of
that
has
has
been
what's
led
us
to
have
a
larger
than
normal
debt
reserve
balance.
F
So,
but
we
know
now
that,
with
the
recession
and
rates
flattening
again
that
those
same
returns
aren't
going
to
be
there,
I
believe,
if
it
hasn't
already,
there
is
legislation
coming
your
way
for
the
council,
that's
going
to
have
us
join
into
into
a
group
investment
plan
with
other
municipalities.
I
think
there's
over
700,
something
like
that
where
we
basically
pool
our
money
pool
our
resources
get
higher
returns.
So
that's
the
direction
we're
moving
into
to
maximize
our
dollars
for.
M
So
jenny,
I
just
request
that
I
jumped
in
because
I
couldn't
hear
things
so
I'm
assuming
and
somebody
needs
to
let
mike
or
whoever
is
speaking,
know
that
they
can't
be
heard
when
they
can't
be
heard.
E
H
F
E
F
Okay,
so
everyone's
looking
at
the
let's
see,
okay,
so
what
the
what
the
golf
course
is
and
judy's
back
to
judy's
point
earlier.
This
is
what
what
we
calculated
as
the
remaining
net
revenue
potential
from
the
golf
course
basically
from
july
to
the
rest
of
the
year,
what's
being
on
on
the
back
side
in
the
in
the
in
the
larger
revenue
and
the
larger
hiring
freeze
expenses
are
those
are
offset
much
like
police.
F
So
this
what
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
carve
those
out,
and
so
we
can
see
those
clearly
and
then
this
would
go
into
this
would
go
into
you.
Would
you
would
see
this
number
as
the
revenue
not
as
a
savings,
so
judy
is
correct
there,
we
kind
of
put
it
here
as
a
placeholder,
but
it
was
never
meant
to
be
it's
permanent
home.
We
just
wanted
to
show
those
dollars
in
the
in
the
bottom
line.
L
And
then
the
other
thing
too
I'll
just
jump
in
here,
you'll
note
that
the
pools
and
the
recreation
camps
they
both
say
that
they're
paid
for
by
acda.
L
These
are
this.
This
would
be
using
some
hud
funding
that
we
have
set
aside
to
be
able
to
to
open
our
camps
with
the
pools,
you'll
notice,
442
thousand
dollars
there.
We
we
couldn't
use.
You
can't
use
acda
funding
for
modern
christie,
because
it
doesn't
it's
not
in
a
lower
moderate
income
neighborhood,
but
the
cost
to
run
moder
christie
is
only
about
fifty
thousand
dollars.
This
mainly
is
the
the
cost
of
running
lincoln
park
pool.
L
L
L
Two
three
and
four
are
are
really
items
that
would
would
would
again
be
something
that
we
would
have
to
potentially
look
at,
not
not
having
next
year,
if,
if
we
weren't
able
to
get
federal
aid,
so
I
just
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that,
while
we're
able
to
pay
for
it
this
year
through
acda
funding,
you
know
the
situation
is
not
only
dire
for
this
year
but
next
year
as
well-
and
these
are
some
of
the
activities
that
that
would
be
impacted
by
a
lack
of
federal
aid.
L
A
N
Yeah
I
had
a
question
on
the
golf
course:
net
revenues,
rec
and
dgs
had
a
meeting
you
think
about
three
weeks
ago
and
the
golf
course
opened.
I
think
it
was
oh
sometime
in
in
june
and
they
gave
us
normally
according
to
the
budgets
over
the
last
several
years.
The
golf
course
revenues
were
over
900
000
a
year
one
year
they
almost
went
to
a
million,
and
so
then,
when
it
started
late,
we
asked
them,
for.
N
I
think
it
was
like
about
a
three
week
or
two
and
a
half
week
report
comparing
those
days
in
june
of
2020
with
the
compliment
days
in
2019,
and
then
it
actually
increased
from
69
000
to
85
000..
So
it
just
seems
to
me
that
that's
an
understatement
of
290
000
for
the
golf
course
through
the
rest
of
the
season,
which
usually
goes
until
right
around
the
beginning
of
november.
N
It's
usually
in
a
normal
year
about
125
130
000
a
month,
and
we
have
half
of
july
all
of
august
september
october
left
in
the
season.
Just
seems
understated
to
me
particularly
compared
to
the
fact
that,
strangely,
our
revenues
increased,
probably
because
of
the
ten
dollar
per
golfer
increase
fees.
N
N
And
then,
of
course,
there
was
a
discussion
that
a
lot
of
the
golf
course
expenses
prepare.
You
know
actually
service
more
than
just
golf,
they
make
it
a
year-round
park
and
they
even
pay
for
street
plowing.
I
guess
okay.
Well
anyway,
it
just
seemed
kind
of
low
to
me,
but
maybe
maybe
you're
right.
L
F
N
D
Thank
you.
You
know
just
looking
at
the
savings,
particularly
for
summer
youth
employment
as
much
as
I
I
want
to
be
excited
that
we're
saving
and
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned,
particularly
with
the
summer
youth
employment.
Are
we
saving?
You
know
1.1
million
dollars
because
of
reduced
size,
and
if
we
are,
I
I'm
really
concerned
particularly
the
summers
that
we're
having
with
gun
violence
in
our
city.
D
L
Yeah,
I
mean
yes
to
answer
your
your
question.
Yes,
it
is
that's
a
savings
based
on
only
using
the
tanf
funding
and
therefore
only
being
able
to
accept
tanf
eligible
youth
to
be
part
of
the
summer
youth
employment
program,
but
the
the
one.
The
other
side
of
this
that
shouldn't
be
forgotten,
is
due
to
covad.
L
We,
it
was
likely
impossible
to
have
had
a
summer
youth
employment
program,
the
size
that
we're
accustomed
to
you
know
there
are
the
amount
of
work
sites
had
that
had
dropped
out
from
the
beginning
was
pretty
dramatic,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
job
training
digitally
you
know
virtually.
I
should
say
so.
Yes,
this
is
part
of
that.
L
Savings
is
from
only
using
the
tanf
funding
that
we
get
from
the
state
through
the
county,
but
the
flip
side
is
that
we
we
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
to
hold
a
summer
youth
employment
program
that
we're
accustomed
to
due
to
covid.
So
that's
that
is
a
component
in
that.
D
Just
a
follow-up
with
the
1.1
million
dollars
of
the
savings
for
some
of
you
for
employment.
How
many
students
could
we
have
could
have
participated
with
some
of
you
in
our
city.
L
We
normally
have
around
a
thousand
the
last
several
years,
the
the
ending
the
end
number
has
been
in
the
900s.
So
that's
that's.
What
we're
accustomed
to
is
about
a
program
of
a
thousand
right
now
we're
we're
about
one-fifth
of
that
because
of
a
covid
and
that's
the
other
thing
I'll
mention
too.
L
The
enrollment
was
way
way
down
this
year
as
a
result,
and
we
did
a
lot
of
outreach
to
individuals
who
we
knew
were
tanf
eligible
because
keep
in
mind
we,
we
use
tanf
funding
every
year
as
a
component
of
the
summer
youth
employment
program
to
pay
for
for
part
of
the
program.
So
we
know
who
the
the
tanf
eligible
youth
are.
We
we
go.
We
out
do
outreach
to
them
each
year
to
make
sure
they're
signing
up,
and
this
year
enrollment
was
way
down.
It
was.
L
It
was
very
difficult
to
to
reach
out
to
a
lot
of
people.
A
lot
of
people
had
concerns
about
sending
their
their
children
to
to
to
camp
settings,
especially
with
everything
that's
going
on.
So
it's
a
variety
of
factors.
D
Gotcha
and
just
to
follow
up
with
that
with
the
enrollment
process,
just
moving
forward
is
there
a
way
that
we
could
store
some
of
the
students
who
have
participated,
let's
say
their
freshman
year
and
just
to
kind
of
have
them
on
record
instead
of
going
through
all
the
process
again,
as
it
relates
to
being
able
to
fetch
out
their
documents
going
to
the
goddess
counselor.
Is
there
a
mechanism
moving
forward
that
we
could
save
the
students
who
participate
in
summer
youth
program
this
year
for
next
year?
L
I
I
mean
I
know
we
have
the
we
have
the
contact
info,
because
we
we
have
that
info.
We
we
do
have
the
the
the
mailing
addresses
phone
numbers
things
like
that.
The
part
of
the
part
of
the
hurdle
each
year
is
that
we
are
required
to
get
certain
documents
due
to
federal
federal
guidelines,
so
especially
with
w-2
forms
working
papers.
L
Things
like
that
there
there
are
certain
requirements
where
we
have
to
get
verification
each
year,
but
but
to
your
point
about
keeping
information
on
on
file
each
year
to
make
it
easier.
We
we
are
we're
doing
that
and
that's
part
of
why
we've
been
able
to
do
some
of
the
outreach
we've
been
able
to
do
to
try
to
get
the
enrollment
number
up,
but
unfortunately
it's
I
don't.
L
I
don't
know
if
we'll
be
able
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
say
you
know,
there's
automatic
enrollment
and
you
don't
have
to
bring
up
bring
any
verification
documents
just
because
of
the
federal
guidelines
and
the
federal
requirements
around
onboarding,
essentially
employees,
each
and
every
year,
yeah.
D
I
would
just
like
to
see
that
1.1
million
dollars
utilized
and
I
could
come
up
with
some
ideas-
maybe
some
online
classes
for
individuals
who
might
be
interested
in
the
city
of
albany.
But
if
there
has
to
be
especially
in
these
times
that
we're
in
our
kids
and
our
families
need
some
type
of
money
going
into
their
families
and
these
kids,
they
need
to
get
off
their
streets,
and
I
would
you
know
if,
if
there's
a
way,
we
can
utilize
that
money.
I
think
it's
going
to
save
some
lives,
and
that's
the
that.
H
Thank
you
dave
or
mike.
Can
you
speak
to
the
hiring
freeze?
I
want
to
I'd
like
to
get
a
sense.
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
us
to
get
a
sense
of
where
are
these
positions?
What
departments
we're
talking
about
with
these
positions
not
being
filled?
Don't.
A
H
Us
give
us
a
better
sense
of
some
of
the
stresses
that
different
departments
are
under.
F
Yeah,
I
I
will
say
one
of
the
biggest
components
of
this
number
is:
is
our
freeze
on
on
seasonal
summer
and
temp
help
so
that
that
number
itself
is
over
a
million
on
its
own,
but
the
the
the
department?
That's
that
has
the
largest
amount
of
vacancies
right
now
and
is
it
and
the
freezes
is,
is,
is
giving
the
kind
of
the
biggest
problems
to
right
now
is
dgs
when,
when
we
started
this
exercise,
they
were
down
28
people.
Now
it's
well
into
the
40s,
so
we
are
looking.
F
F
The
one
thing
too
is
this
is
really
I
mean
this
is
the
vacancies
that
we
have
throughout
throughout
the
city,
so
this
raw
number
is
much
higher,
but
this
is
net
of
the
vacancy
savings
number
that
we
booked,
which
is
about
2.3
or
2.4
million,
but
I
would
say
that
you
know.
A
huge
percentage
of
of
this.
Certainly
is
is
police
and
and
dgs
at
this
time
because
they
by
far
have
the
have
the
most
vacancies.
H
F
I
Robinson,
I
I
normally
ask
this
question
every
time
we
have
this
discussion
regarding
savings
and
I
think
there
was
supposed
to
be
a
deliverable
for
the
last
time
it
was
discussed,
but
the
street
light
purchases.
What
are
we
saving
on
on?
On
that?
Do
we
have?
This
has
been
any
type
of
analysis
done.
F
Oh
yeah,
that
analysis
went
out
to
you
guys
a
lot
honestly,
so
that
savings
is
going
to
be
consistent
over
the
life
over
the
life
of
of
of
the
bond
for
these
lights.
So
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me
right
now,
but
I
believe
the
safe.
The
forecasted
savings
for
this
year
was
between
one
and
one
and
a
half
million.
The
our
our
budget
situation
would
not
have
any
effect
on
on
that.
F
H
M
So
I
just
want
to
know
that
I
believe
mr
two
things.
I
want
to
note
mr
shanafar,
in
the
quarterly
report
that
he
just
sent
out.
I
think
that
he
told
us
that
we're
about
650
000
savings
on
utilities
and
that's
partially
because
of
the
streetlight
savings
and
that's
for
the
first
quarter.
M
F
Yeah
when
you,
when
you
look
at
that
to
budget,
and
I
miss
half
of
what
you
said
judy,
I
apologize,
but
if
you
look
at
that
to
budget,
we
are.
We
are
down
about
these.
I
think
close
to
two
million
dollars
in
that
line
from
where
we
were
last
year.
So,
but
we
also
budgeted
less
well
compared
to
last
year
we're
down,
but
we
also
adjusted
the
budget
down
for
this
year
as
well.
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question,
because
I
only
caught
about
20
of
it.
Sorry.
M
Yeah,
so
the
other
thing
is
thanks
for
the
information
on
the
hiring
freeze.
I
I
would
like
you
to
provide
us
with
more
of
a
breakout
on
that,
because
I
think
that
there
are
other
departments
that
are
also
being
impacted.
For
example,
I
think
that
the
planning
department
might
still
be
down
one,
and
you
know
it's
and
I'm
curious.
D
M
I'm
curious
about
cultural
events,
whether
there's
been
any
cuts
or,
if
they're
down
any
because
they're
having
fewer
activities
to
schedule.
F
There
there
has
not
been
any
any
layoffs
to
this
to
this
point.
They
are
involved
in
some
online
content
and
they're
also
being
utilized
as
resources
to
some
other
departments
that
are
currently
down.
But
we
can
get
you
the
the
most
updated
vacancy
report.
I
just
have
to
get
it
out
to
the
departments
to
to
bless
it
before
I
spend
it
out,
because
the
system
has
some
some
funky
things
that
go
on
with
some
time,
but
I
can
get
that
to
you
as
well.
M
F
F
I
think
it
was
around,
may
and
and
basically
put
them
at
a
number
that
I
felt
was
achievable
because
it
was
very
much
in
line
with
it
where
they
were
historically
and
to
budget
those
you
know
based
on
where
we
are
right
now
the
savings
we've
seen
so
far.
Oh,
I
also
should
point
out
that
we
have
with
the
spending
freeze
every
purchase.
F
The
department
makes
has
to
come
through
budget
with
a
justification
to
to
be
purchased,
so
we
are
scrutinizing
every
every
po
and
invoice
that
comes
through,
and
this
spending
freeze
is,
is
based
on
an
achievable
goal,
but
puts
them
at
the
bottom
end
of
where
they
have
been
historically
and-
and
this
is
this
is
projected
to
be
the
cushion
between
that
and
the
budget
by
the
end
of
the
year.
M
All
right,
so
the
other
question
that
I
had
was:
I
participated
in
a
conversation
with
citizen
action
about
a
month
ago
with
senator
schumer's
office
regarding
the
importance
of
providing
additional
funding
and
and
remedies
for
various
things,
and
we
talked
about
government,
you
know,
funding
and
and
the
enormous
cuts
and
the
enormous
consequences
of
this.
M
They
seem
to
be
pretty
positive,
that
what
was
going
to
be
negotiated
was
going
to
be
quite
substantial
in
terms
of
making
this
whole
and
also
assisting
us
with
enough
money
that
we
could
then
help
use
it
to
help
for
next
year.
Where
are
things
on
that.
L
So
right
now
the
us
conference
of
mayors
has
been
very
active
in
making
a
push:
they're
they're,
basically
calling
it
july
or
bus,
where
they're
having
they're
they're,
leading
a
nationwide
campaign
for
municipalities
to
be
reaching
out
to
their
senators
to
their
congress
members
and
advocating
for
passage
of
of
a
of
a
bill
that
would
provide
for
direct
fiscal
aid
to
municipalities.
L
L
But
what
we've
been
doing
is
we
we're
again
asking
our
employees
to
not
only
reach
out
to
our
delegation,
but
also
to
senator
mcconnell's
office
to
congress
member
stefanik's
office
as
she's
a
member
of
the
bipartisan
reopen
america
task
force
that
the
president's
put
together
and
and
remind
them
of
how
important
it
is
to
provide
federal
aid
to
municipalities,
because
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
reopen
continue
to
reopen
without
it
we're
going
to
have
a
very,
very,
very
difficult
time
recovering
from
covet?
L
If
we,
if
we
don't
get
this
aid
like
that,
we
are
we're
talking
about,
and
we
can.
This
kind
of
goes
to
the
final
slide,
the
remaining
deficit
side-
daniel,
if
you
want
to
if
there
you
go.
Thank
you.
You
know
we're.
After
all,
this
we're
still
looking
at
a
2.1
million
dollar
deficit
and
that's
just
for
the
rest
of
this
year.
That's
not
talking
about
next
year
next
year.
L
This
is
another
20
million,
if
not
more,
that
we
have
to
talk
about
potentially
making
cuts
to
the
to
the
city
budget
of
180
million
dollars,
and
so
to
your
original
question
judy.
The
u.s
conference
of
mayors
is
leading
that
advocacy
effort.
Now
the
mayor's
been
been
having
conversations
with
the
executive
committee
at
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors
and
nikon
level,
we're
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
convince
senator
mcconnell.
Who
really
is
the
last
piece
of
this
puzzle
to
to
include
this
in
the
next
round
of
negotiations?
M
K
I've
been
told
that
djs
is
actually
having
a
problem
getting
seasonal
employees
because
of
the
benefit
per
week.
Now.
Is
that
why
some
of
the
hiring
freeze
is
as
high
as
it
is.
L
That
that
is
anecdotally,
what
we're
hearing,
which
is
part
of
why
we're
looking
at
working
with
we're
we're
working
with
commissioner
pannunzio
to
see
if
we
can
hire
hire
some
ftes
in
place
of
the
seasonals
that
we
were
originally
gonna
hire
to
to
help
with
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
across
the
city.
L
It's
part
of
this
is
the
hiring
freeze
is
a
direct
correlate,
has
a
direct
impact
on
what
you're,
seeing
in
parks
across
the
city
regards
in
regards
to
clean
up
and
mowing
maintenance
that
you're
that
you're
accustomed
to
and
egs
has
altered
their
plan
accordingly,
but
you're
you're
right,
they're
they're
having
a
very
hard
time
finding
seasonals,
which
is
why
we're
looking
at
instead
of
filling
some
of
these
seasonal
slots,
filling
some
of
the
fte
slots.
I
I
got
a
question
about
just
a
follow-up
question
regarding
that.
So
what
you're
saying
is
that
individuals
who
are
on
unemployment,
because
they're
receiving
an
additional
additional
funds
through
the
cares
act,
are
not
applying
for
these
seasonal
jobs?
Is
that
what
we're
saying.
L
That's
that's!
What
we're
hearing
anecdotally
that
they,
that
that
individuals,
when,
when
they're
inquiring
as
to
to
potential
employment
with
the
city
in
a
seasonal
capacity,
are,
are
realizing
that
it's
not.
L
It
doesn't
make
economic
sense
to
to
to
take
the
job
and
that's
and
we
have
higher
paying
positions
through
our
fte
lines,
which
is
why
we
were
instead
of
focusing
on
filling
those
seasonal
positions.
Looking
to
fill
some
of
the
ftes
that
are
vacant
instead.
I
Okay,
so
are
the
the
seasonal
people?
Are
they
normally
individuals
who
apply
for
the
seasonal
jobs
are?
Is
it
a
new
set
of?
This
is
a
new
new
set
of
people
that
they're
trying
to
employ
new
hirees
so
to
say.
I
Because
I
I
kind
of
find
it
hard
to
believe,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
have
jobs,
who
would
love
a
seasonal
job.
So
if
that's
the
case,
I
think
something
that
needs
to
be
talked
about
with
the
commissioner.
L
Yeah
and
if
and
if
you're,
if
you
know
councilman
of
of
people
who
who
are
interested,
I
mean
we've
been:
we've
been
putting
out
information
about
the
available
jobs
on
our
social
media
pages
and
our
email
updates,
but
it
the
the
the
dgs,
seasonal
jobs,
are
also
not
they're
available
online,
but
also
in
person
slash
on
paper.
L
So
if
someone
just
wanted
to
come
down
and
apply
for
a
seasonal
position
at
dgs,
they
can,
they
can
do
so
in
person
at
dgs
headquarters,
but
again,
if,
if
there's
someone
that
you
know
that
that
may
have
applied
and
either
didn't
hear
back
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
let
us
know
and
we're
happy
to
follow
up
and
and
figure
out.
Why
absolutely
thank
you.
C
Thank
you
one
note
I
think
if,
if
we're
having
difficult
times
filling
positions,
because
someone
can
make
more
on
unemployment,
I
think
it's
also
time
for
us
to
take
a
real
look
at
what
we're
paying
some
of
our
staff
at
that
level,
and
you
know
we
should
be
doing
better
than
that.
C
So
I
really
hope
we
this
opportunity,
as
looking
at
trying
to
lift
those
seasonal
employee
employees
to
a
little
bit
of
a
better
living
situation
in
the
future,
and
I
know
it's
difficult
times
with
the
budget
that
we're
looking
at,
but
I
also
want
to
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
what
are
we
going
to
be
dealing
with
next
year?
I
think
that's
important
for
us
to
really
start
having
that
conversation
now
and
looking
at
those
numbers
now,
because
that
also
affects
what
we
do
or
what
decisions
are
being
made
now.
C
Regarding
the
fund
balance,
I
was
happy
to
see
that
our
fund
balance
was
up.
I
I
to
be
honest.
We
were
really
you
know.
If
this
and
this
pandemic
hadn't
happened,
we
were
in
really
good
shape.
We
were
gonna,
finally
have
a
fun
balance
that
was
getting
close
to
the
10
recommended
would
still
been
low,
but
we're
getting
really
into
a
much
better
position.
C
You
know
we
should
be
aware
of
what's
moving
forward,
so
we
know
how
to
better
use
our
resources
now
or
save
our
resources,
because
it
may,
we
may
have
darker
days
ahead,
so
I
think
we
shouldn't
shy
away
from
those
conversations
either.
L
And-
and
thank
you
for
that
councilman
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
we
don't
want
to
spend
more
of
the
fund
balance
than
we
have
to,
because
we
are
very
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
it's
taken
us
almost
five
years
six
years
now
to
build
up
the
fund
balance
to
where
it
is
and
that's
a
huge
driver
in
our
fiscal
stress,
score
in
our
bond
ratings
and
a
a
big
component
for
how
how
how
much
we
can
do
each
year
to
to
invest
in
the
city
and
to
revitalize
our
neighborhoods.
L
So
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
and
we're
you
know
we're
we're
happy
that
the
the
surplus
from
last
year
came
into
where
it
is,
but
mike
will
be
the
first
to
tell
you
that
he
doesn't
budget
to
a
surplus.
So
we
can't
anticipate
that
we're
going
to
get
another
five
million
dollar
surplus
this
this
year,
especially
with
everything
going
on.
So
we
we
just
have
to
be
very,
very
cognizant
of
that
and
then
to
your
point
about
the
the
wages
and
the
issue
around
unemployment.
L
E
Thank
you
both
so
much
for
coming
and
speaking
with
us
on
this,
it's
definitely
appreciated
and
we
look
forward
to
your
report
mike
when
you're
all
done
putting
it
together.
I
think
that
that'll
help
with
a
lot
of
different
pieces
yep.
I
agree.
E
So
the
other
piece
that
we
talked
about
in
leadership
were
the
community,
policing
and
kelly.
I
don't
know
if
you
when
I
take
the
lead
on
that
or
not.
B
Yeah
yeah,
so
just
the
discussion
was
around
finalizing
the
details
for
the
the
police
reform
collaborative
they're,
trying
to
get
the
the
mayor's
office
and
the
administration
and
the
chief
for
trying
to
get
the
gate
dates
together
and
the
curriculum
they'll
be
sending
out
letters
soon
to
collaborators,
including
the
council,
on
that
and
for
the
councils.
In
this
from
our
leadership,
we
decided
that
our
our
members,
everyone
can
watch
and
participate,
but
direct
participation
will
be
council.
B
President,
the
chair
of
public
safety,
the
chair
of
finance
and
the
chair
of
human
resources,
human
rights
to
directly
participate.
It's
going
to
be
live
streamed.
The
mayor
said
that
your
youth
fx
will
be
handling
the
technology
piece.
The
live
streaming
so
folks
will
be
able
to
see
and-
and
then-
and
you
know,
on
like
facebook-
to
add
comments
and
do
stuff
like
that,
but
due
to
obviously
covet,
we
couldn't
come
up
with
a
room
large
enough
to
hold
everyone
and
have
those
discussions.
B
So
that's
that
she
participates
at
beginning
and
the
beginning
of
august,
and
and
it's
just
preliminary
stuff,
beginning
in
august,
ending
at
the
end
of
september
and
that's
putting
together
a
mission
statement
and
goals
to
to
to
put
together
a
framework
for
some
subgroups
or
subcommittees
to
work
on
on
these
issues,
and
the
topics
are
implicit
bias.
B
B
The
current
programs
taking
a
deep
dive
into
the
data
calls
for
service
use
of
force,
and
all
of
that
stuff
is
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
Among
other
things,
and
there
was
a
request
on
her.
B
You
know
the
mayor's
behalf
or
she
made
it
that
whatever
we
do
legislatively
is
is
in
line
and
representative
of
what
comes
out
of
those
groups
which
we're
gonna.
We're
gonna
have
some
public
safety
meetings
coming
up,
but
that
process
needs
to
be
informed
by
this
other
process.
So
we're
gonna
try
to
get
those
things
in
lockstep,
so
we're
not
working
against
each
other
and
in
working
together.
So
we
come
up
with
a
good
product
in
the
end
for
us,
jenny
or
corey.
E
I
would
just
add
in
in
terms
of
a
big
part
of
the
whole
process,
is
going
to
be
the
breakout
sessions,
so
there's
the
overall
committee
process,
which
would
be
live
streamed,
but
the
mayor
anticipated
most
of
the
work
to
actually
be
done
in
different
themed
breakout
sessions,
which
can
have
a
lot
more
council,
more
council
members
can
participate
in
and
she
said
that
even
potentially
council
committee
meetings
could
be
part
of
that
process
as
well.
E
So
there's
we're
really
pushing
for
a
lot
of
interactions
with
a
lot
of
council
voices
to
be
heard
in
this
process.
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
push
for
that
and
if
there's
any
specific
area
that
any
council
members
would
like
to
be
involved
in,
if
you
could
let
leadership
know.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
that
that
you're
part
of
that
process.
E
E
D
Ahead,
I
just
have
a
quick
question
for
the
people
council
members
who
have
been
here
for
years.
The
police
union
president
is
he
typically
ever
invited
to
have
any
type
of
discussion
with
the
council
or
kind
of
give
any
recommendations.
I
I
see
him
out
there
a
lot.
You
know
putting
out
all
these
rhetoric
and
messaging
against
tours
the
mayor
against
common
council
members.
I
would
like
to
invite
him
to
one
of
these
police
reform
gathering
meetings
or
even
to
a
public
safety
meeting.
I
don't
know
if
we.
D
If
it's
happened
in
the
past
or
I
don't
know
just
any
advice.
I
would
like
to
actually
meet
the
gentleman
to
kind
of
talk
about
how
we
address
the
violence.
That's
plaguing
our
city.
He
seemed
to
have
a
lot
of
solutions,
so
I'm
kind
of
curious
to
see
if
we
have
ever
invited
him
in
the
past
or
is
it
would
this
be
something
new.
E
The
police
union
will
definitely
be
part
of
the
process
and-
and
not
just
so
as
you're
aware,
there
is
a
article
78
against
that
union
president,
so
there's
also
different
they're,
making
sure
that
there's
representatives
from
each
layer
of
the
police-
but
I
I
mean
that
so
that's
a
separate
issue,
I
think,
than
what
you're
talking
about,
because
what
you're
you're,
I
think
what
you're
saying,
which
I
can't
really
answer
and
I'd.
E
B
You
yeah,
I
I
don't
know
that
we've
ever
invited
the
union
president.
In
my
time.
E
B
I
spoke
during
public
comment,
but
we
welcome
them,
but
for
years
the
fire
union,
president
and
staff
participated
and
they
they
came
to
every
meeting,
and
I
I
had
a
conversation
with
mr
mcgee
regarding
that
that
you
know
fire's,
always
here
they're
in
tune.
They
know
why?
Don't
we
get
someone
from
the
police
side
to
attend
that
way,
they're,
not
getting
information,
second
hand
and
misconstruing
or
mis
getting
the
miscommunication.
They
can
get
it
directly
by
being
they're
participating.
B
He
he
hasn't
been
yet
other
than
during
the
contract
negotiations.
Those
are
the
only
meetings
that
he's
participated
in.
B
No,
and
just
also
as
a
part
of
the
process
and
ms
farrell
just
mentioned
it
all-
the
levels
of
police,
the
union,
including
union
president
from
rank
and
file
supervisors
detectives-
they
all,
will
be
a
part
separate
and
depart
invited
to
participate
in
this.
The
collaborative
for
reforms,
along
with
officers
from
different
areas
in
the
department,
so
I'll,
be
pretty
good
coverage.
I
think
in
the
in
the
reform
discussion,
but
so
sorry,
mr
conti.
G
You
just
going
back
to
it
was
his
original
question,
so
it
you
know,
has
a
union
president
police
officer's
new
president
ever
participated
in
the
council
of
public
safety
committee
meeting,
necessarily
the
current
president.
Yes,
depending
on
what
may
have
been
on
the
agenda,
so
you
know,
and
if
we
were
considering
something
particular
they
may
have
been
invited,
but
I
think
the
situation
now
is
a
little
bit
different.
Where
we're
not
it's
just
a
little
bit
different
than
we've
had
in
the
past.
G
K
I
do
recall
a
couple
of
times.
There
are
different
issues,
things
going
on
out
there
I
believe
transitioning.
K
I
don't
remember
who
was
before
jimmy
tuffy.
I
think
jimmy
tuffy
came
in
front
of
us.
I
know
jimmy
turley
came
in
front
of
us,
but
I
don't
remember
exactly
what
the
what
the
topics
were
for
so
it
has
happened.
Well,.
B
B
Yeah,
probably
parking
tickets
or
bullseye,
or
something
something
not
good,
but
so
I
I
think,
that's
that's
it.
On
the
police
reform
part.
There
was
also
a
part
of
it.
Anyone
have
any
other
questions.
There
was
a
miss
excuse
me.
The
mayor
mentioned
that
miss
faye
andrews
has
300
300
000
left
over
in
the
cares
money
that
she's
trying
to
program
and
it
could
be
used
for
food,
chromebooks,
internet
staffing
and
she's.
B
She
informed
us
that
miss
miss
andrews
will
be
putting
together
a
webinar
before
the
weeks
out
to
to
send
out
the
people
to
help
them
with
that
process.
Mr
get
gallon,
would
you
like
to
speak
to
that
yeah.
L
I
can
touch
on
that
real
quick
phase
phase
been
out
the
last
couple
days,
but
she
she
and
I
have
been
talking-
and
I
I'm
thinking
it's
we're
to
finalize
it
tomorrow.
It's
probably
going
to
be
on
monday,
where
we
do
just
a
a
walk
through
of
the
application
process
for
these
cdbg
grants.
If
you
go
onto
the
city
website,
it's
the
second
item
on
the
rotator
on
the
home
page,
but
there
is
an
online
application.
There
is
a
paper
form
as
well.
L
If,
if
someone
would
like
to
fill
it
out
and
drop
it
off
and
faze
answering
emails,
she's
just
not
in
the
office,
but
she
she
can
walk
people
through.
L
You
know
if,
if
they,
if
they're
looking
to
fill
out
the
application
before
monday,
but
we
are
going
to
do
a
brief
webinar,
where
we,
where
we
it'll,
be
a
zoom
webinar,
similar
to
what
we
did
with
the
healthcare
forum,
but
we'll
walk
people
through.
If
they
have
questions,
we
can
answer
them.
It's
relatively
short
and
there's
also
a
document
on
the
webpage
as
well
that
walks
you
through
the
application
separately.
So
yeah
there
is
it's
a
about!
L
350
000
left
in
funding
that's
available,
so
we
urge
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
completely
share
that
information
in
in
your
boards.
We've
already
awarded
about
half
a
million
dollars
and
it's
gone
to
everything.
You
know,
as
kelly
said:
chromebooks
wi-fi
ppe,
a
big
chunk
of
the
money,
went
to
united
tenants
to
provide
rental
assistance,
as
well
as
to
the
affordable
housing
partnership
for
mortgage
payment
assistance.
So
if
you
could
please
please
get
the
word
out.
L
E
I
I
just
want
to
add
to
that
to
the
urgency
a
bit,
because
this
is
a
use
it
or
lose
it
situation,
and
there
might
be
some
groups
out
there
that
have
done.
The
mayor
specifically
talked
about
churches
that
usually
do
summer
programs
that
aren't
this
year,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
hire
more
staff
or
more
use
more
ppe
to
actually
allow
them
to
continue
those
programs
even
in
a
slightly
different
way
or
even
if
they
wanted
to
do
something
where
it
was.
E
E
So
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
where,
if
you
know
of
someone
that
is
able
to
do
this
phase
very
happy
to
help
walk
through
the
process
with
them
and
as
they
said
that
they'd
be
putting
together
a
presentation
to
make
it
seem
easier,
but
definitely
encouraging
getting
awards
out
there
to
anybody
that
you
know
that
might
be
willing
to
utilize
this
and
help
the
city.
L
There,
yes,
council
member,
there
is
when
it's
all
on
that
same
page
with
the
application
information
when
you
go
to
the
home
page.
It's
like.
I
said
it's
the
second
item
on
the
rotator
I'll
I'll,
send
a
link
around
as
well
just
to
make
it
easier.
But
it's
right
now,
there's
there
was
a.
L
There
is
a
cap
on
the
public
service
funding
awards,
which
is
why
you'll
see
there's
about
10
different,
funded
partners
in
that
category,
but
it'll
it'll
give
you
an
overview
of
the
partner,
the
program
and
the
amount
of
money
that
they
were
awarded.
Thank
you,
and
there
are
some
you're
welcome
and
there
are
some
applications
that
are
still
just
in
the
final
review
process,
because
they
we're
either
missing
a
form
or
just
needed
some
additional
information
before
we
could
award
them
the
funding.
L
So
there
will
be
at
least
one
more,
if
not,
hopefully,
two
more
announcements
for
for
funding
here
in
the
near
future.
B
B
Anyone
have
any
other
questions
or
anything
else.
If
not
a
movie
adjourn.
