for

Moving

to
consideration
of
vetoes,
we

the
the
video
of
ordnance

mr

can
you
just
take

through
the
real

any
discussion
on
the
matter.
A
D
Okay,
basically,
I'm
not
going
to
make
a
speech,
I'm
not
going
to
have
anybody
from
the
outside
come
in
and
talk
in
favor
against.
I
think
we
should
just
do
it.
We've
heard
this
we've
spent
hours
on
this,
so
I'd
appreciate.
If
everybody
we
just
let
it
go.
Thank
you.
A
C
Kelly,
I
just
wanted
to
add
something
from
our
last
caucus
that
I
spoke
upon:
real,
quick,
just
real
quick
on
that.
I
misspoke
last
time
to
the
council
members:
it's
not
an
unlisted
action,
it's
a
type
2
action
for
seeker
and
I've
got
a
recommendation.
I
got
a
notice
from
nikon
looking
doing
my
research
and
it
says
states
in
fact,
when
it
comes
to
seek
growth
for
type
2
action.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
richardo,
we're
also
joined
by
councilmembers
doshay
flynn,
fahey
and
johnson.
Hopefully
I
didn't
miss
anyone.
I
don't
think
I
did.
A
B
Mister
yeah,
when
you
first
came
in,
I
acknowledged
you,
sir,
so
we're
good.
Okay,
that
was,
that
consideration
vetoes
into
the
agenda.
B
E
E
So
on
a
national
level,
studies
have
shown
that
the
technology
can
disproportionately
affect
people
of
color
women
and
other
marginalized
groups.
Studies
have
shown
that
technology
is
not
advanced
yet
and
can
lead
to
false
positives
with
people
with
darker
skin
complexions,
as
well
as
softer
facial
features.
E
Whether
or
not
the
benefits
outweigh
the
cost
and
then
also
based
on
a
different,
a
number
of
benchmarks,
whether
or
not
it
is
disproportionately
impacting
those
marginalized
groups
and
also
any
new
technologies
that
want
to
be
used
in
the
future.
They
would
have
to
come
in
from
the
common
council
for
approval
and
for
proper
notification.
E
So
I
am
in
the
process
of
rewording
this
and
we
are
going
to
have
an
updated
legislation
for
monday's
introduction,
but
you
know
this
will
be
as
as
kelly
stated,
this
will
go
to
public
safety
and
I'm
open
to
any
amendments
based
on
the
feedback
received.
B
Thank
you,
miss
frederick,
okay.
That
would
be
it
for
the
ordinances
next.
Our
resolution
resolution
is
introduced.
This
is
also
by
miss
frederick,
it's
72
8120r.
It's
a
seeker
review
for
the
76
project.
That's
her
ordinance
on
that
was
961.,
20.,
j,
mr
tardo
or
or
miss
frederick.
Do
you
care,
I
want
to
say
anything
about
that
process.
C
This
is
just
a
standard
seeker
resolution.
It's
left
intentionally
blank
for
purposes
of
the
investigation
that's
being
completed
shortly
and
that
it
will
be
referred
to
planning
committee
very
shortly
and
we
will
have
the
full
discrimination
at
the
next
committee
hearing
once
the
investigation
is
almost
done
so.
A
Thank
you,
mr.
B
So
that
would
that's
it
for
our
agenda.
Anyone
have
any
questions
or
comments,
otherwise
I'll
just
kind
of
go
into
leadership.
Conversation
that
we.
B
Right
so
yeah,
just
looking
at
my
notes
here
we
spoke.
B
First
and
foremost
in
leadership
regarding
the
the
violence,
the
constant
that
seems
ever
present
and
I've
spoken
from
my
dealings
in
my
area
with
you
know
some
of
my
folks
and
there's
a
genuine
fear.
I
had
the
same
conversation
with
councilman
johnson,
also
about
a
real
fear.
People
have
about
having
their
loved
ones
out
on
the
street.
Some
people
have
issues
even
in
their
own
homes,
depending
on
the
area
they're
in
and
it's
it's
just
it's
it's
unfortunate
and
unacceptable.
We
have
to
do
something.
B
I
was
basically
what
I
explained
to
the
mayor
or
said
to
the
mayor,
and
she
explained
that
they
were
working
on
some
things
for
some
of
the
cases
that
are
that
are
out
there.
There's
some
grand
jury
convening
so
for
the
folks
that
there
is
a
chance
of
taking
off
the
street.
The
grand
jury
can
deal
with
that
and
pull
them
off
the
street.
The
she
also
mentioned
or
mentioned
that
you
know
this
is
all
covert
related.
B
I
mean
not
to
dump
everything
on
covet,
but
it
really
does
impact
public
safety
and
the
community,
because,
if
you
think
about
it,
the
police
can't
do
what
they
they
do
to
the
degree
that
they
do
it.
Also
you
talk
about
mental
health
or
counseling
or
other
services
that
folks
would
normally
get
they're
not,
and
they
haven't
been
for
all
these
months
due
to
covet.
B
So
it's
being
worked
on
the
grand
jury
option
is,
is
what's
going
on
for
trying
to
pull
some
of
these
arrests
together
and
get
some
of
these
people
off
the
street.
Also
crime,
stoppers,
I'm
field
on
the
board
of
crops,
office,
crime
stoppers,
is
a
way
to
anonymously
report
stuff,
like
folks,
council
members
here
to
reach
out
and
when
you're
having
conversations
with
your
constituents.
Let
them
know
that
they
can
anonymously
report
these
things
and
not
put
themselves
or
their
family
at
risk.
B
I
know
in
a
lot
of
these
instances
we
say
see
something
say
something
you
need
to.
You
know
tell
someone,
but
it's
not
safe
in
some
of
these
neighborhoods
for
some
folks
to
be
talon
or
I
couldn't
putting
that
out
there.
Also.
I
I
recently
came
across
an
issue
also,
and
I'll
have
to
take
this
up
with
the
police
chief
regarding
police,
responding
to
the
area
of
this
violence
and
then
knocking
on
doors.
B
Some
people
are
panicked
when,
even
though
you
know
they're
in
the
vicinity
of
a
shooting
saying
that
the
police
knock
on
the
door,
they
take
it
as
the
neighborhood
looking
and
thinking
that
they're,
you
know
telling
anonymous
or
what
have
you.
So
I
don't
know
how
you
talk
to
these
people
without
talking
to
them,
but
I'll
have
to
remind
the
police
chief
that
some
people
feel
unsafe
by
the
police,
responding
and
reaching
out
to
them.
F
F
I
had
one
of
my
constituents
whose
home
was
shot
up
three
times
within
the
last
month
on
three
separate
occasions,
and
so
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
the
chief,
the
last
conversation
that
him
and
I
had
I-
you
know
he
said
that
he
was
going
to
increase
his
police
presence
in
the
area
and
that
the
next
day
one
of
my
house,
the
same
house,
was
shot
up
again,
and
so
I
told
him
that
if
you're
going
to
increase
the
police
presence
in
the
area
that
the
officers
need
to
get
out
and
they
need
to
make
knock
on
people's
doors
like
you
said
and
make
people
feel
safe
and
know
that
there
is
a
real
presence,
and
you
know
not
just
in
not
just
saying
that,
there's
a
presence
but
actually
people,
you
know
interacting
with
the
police
officers
that
are
in
that
particular
beat.
B
On
the
police
reform
that
those
meetings
the
leverage
is
supposed
to
go
out
next
week,
the
thing
that
that
came
about
as
a
part
of
the
governor's
directive,
first
meeting
supposed
to
be
in
mid
august,
excuse
me
august.
The
letters
should
go
out
next
week,
letting
folks
know
that
you
know
the
their
present
presence
is
requested
at
to
be
a
part
of
these
conversations.
B
The
idea
is
for
the
larger
group
to
push
over
the
course
of
a
month
up
to
two
months
to
come
up
with
with
ideas
and
kind
of
lay
the
framework,
and
then
it's
going
to
you
know
be
spread
out
to
other
groups
to
do
the
actual
work.
It's
just.
The
initial
thing
is
setting
the
framework.
B
So
that's
that
did
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that
jenny?
I
don't
know
yeah.
G
G
All
the
meetings
of
the
full
committee
will
be
streamed
and
we'll
be
getting
they're
still
working
on
the
exact
makeup
of
who
is
in
the
different
groups
that
are
in
that
committee,
and
we
should
be
getting
them
soon.
They
said
that
it
might
be.
They
may
be
giving
us
a
broader
rush
soon
and
they
won't
have
this
specific
people
for
a
little
bit,
because
the
different
some
groups
that
they've
reached
out
to,
but
they
don't
know
exactly
who
in
that
group
will
be
participating.
G
B
Okay,
yeah,
and
so
another
issue
was
the
census
where
our
numbers
are
still
way
down.
So
we
got
to
get
the
word
out.
The
mayor
spoke
and
our
staff
spoke
with
so
many
efforts,
and
it
seems
that
they're
doing
a
lot.
B
They
partnered
with
a
lot
of
community
organizations,
churches
and
some
other
organizations,
and
there
was
an
understanding
or
an
expectation
from
the
mayor
and
her
staff
that
these
folks
would
be
the
boots
on
the
ground
kind
of
doing
some
of
the
work
and,
as
it
turns
out,
it's
not
happening
to
the
degree
that
the
mayor,
the
mayor,
would
like
so
they're,
they're,
pressing
and
trying
to
do
some
stuff
in
the
in
the
coming
weeks,
their
door
hangers.
B
I
went
down
and
grabbed
a
box
of
them
some
census
door,
hangers
available
at
city
hall.
You
can
stop
in
and
grab
them
that
kind
of
lays
out
the
process
in
this
time
of
covet.
B
You
can,
you
know
not,
hang
it
on
the
door
and
knock
and
leave
that
information
out
there
and
just
emphasize
how
much
and
how
important
it
is
for
us
to
get
our
numbers
up
and
so
they're
working
on
that,
and
if
anyone
has
a
question
or
comment
just
jump
in
at
any
time
next
park
issues
in
particular,
I
have
issues
with
arbor
hill
park
and
with
the
care
and
upkeep
of
it,
and
it's
just
not
being
done
to
the
extent
that
I
think
it
should
be
done,
but
I'm
being
informed
that
that's
happening
everywhere.
B
All
of
the
parks
are
are
suffering
the
staff
for
dgs,
and
I
don't
know
what
I'm
told
or
down
40
40
folks
there
and
the
seasonal
they're,
not
they're,
trying
to
hire
seasonals,
but
no
one's
no
one's
taking
the
job.
So
I
don't
know
what
that
number
of
40
what
percentage
of
their
workforce?
B
It
is
but
that's
a
lot,
and
so
that's
why
the
parks
look
the
way
they
look
and
the
size
of
the
roadway,
the
islands
that
you
know
that
traffic
lights
look
the
way
they
look
they
just
don't
they
simply
don't
have
the
people
to
keep
up
with.
It
is
the
way
it
was
explained
to
us.
They.
G
Did
say
that
they
were
hiring
some
people,
so
they're
hopeful
within
the
next
week
or
so
maybe
a
bit
more
will
be
on
a
more
regular
schedule.
G
They
have
an
overall
park
maintenance
plan
and
they're,
hoping
that
they'll
be
able
to
get
to
the
staffing
level
where
they
can
actually
do
that
plan
and
and
get
to
the
mowing.
That
is
it's
happening.
I
mean,
I
know
in
my
ward.
The
parks
in
my
award
they've
seen
better
days.
So
it's
it
should
be
happening
hopefully
soon.
B
Right
and
that's
in
the
the
plan-
the
parks
plan,
I
had
a
conversation
with
with
sergio,
probably
two
or
three
months
back
about
it,
and
you
know
areas
of
responsibility
between
dgs
and
parks,
and
he
said
that
there
was
a
plan
and
there
was
supposed
to
be
a
schedule
for
for
the
stuff
to
be
done
and
they
just
never
were
able
to
get
on
track
and
they're
still
still
struggling
with
that.
So
that
was
that
on
the
parts
issues,
anyone
have
anything
hey.
H
Kelly
staffing,
I've
been
told
that
new
albany
police
have
the
30
recruits,
seven
have
dropped
out
and
we've
had
some
recent
retirements
from
the
police
department.
So
I
feel
like
that.
We're
gonna
be
we're
down,
but
we're
not
making
up
the
ones
that
we
are
down.
Do
we
have
any?
What
are
we
gonna
do
about
that?.
I
Yeah
like
when
they
first
started
talking
about
merging
the
parks.
That
was
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
had
because
historically
there's
been
a
lot
of
finger
pointing
going
on
when
it
comes
to
who's
actually
responsible.
For
what
and
all
is
all
we're
dealing
with
now
is
even
more
chaos,
because
there's
even
more
parks
that
are
not
being
taken
care
of.
I
So
you
know
to
hear
about
plans,
I
know
covet,
but
you
know,
if
you
go
to
certain
parts
of
albany,
the
parks
are
kept
fine
and
you
know
the
excuses
they
sent
a
lawnmower
up
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
want
to
talk
about
is
people
who
are
that
have
use
of
our
parks,
they're
they're,
having
to
mow
the
lawns
themselves.
I
That
doesn't
make
any
sense,
and
we
never
did
anything
like
that.
So
I'm
not
understanding
how
you
know
all
of
the
services
are
basically
being
cut
from
taken
from
us.
B
Correct
and
just
right
and
the
way
they
justified
that
or
explained
it
was
it
was
a
shortage.
Some
of
the
parks
that
look
like
they
have
are
better
and
and
are
kept
up.
B
The
the
mayor
mentioned
that
they're
they're,
like
residents
and
folks
in
those
areas
in
those
parks
that
are
that
are
kind
of
maintaining
that
stuff,
both
the
gardens
and
and
and
any
other
stuff
that
you
see,
they're
short
and,
and
that
I
believe,
and
that
I
can
see,
but
we
have
to
we
have
to
stay
on
them.
She
said
that
she'd
hope
that
it's
going
to
improve
pretty
soon
here
and-
and
that's
where
we're
at
with
that.
A
D
H
B
B
We
have
staff
that
should
take
care
of
this
stuff,
but
I
mean
times
are
tough
now,
and
I
mean
of
course,
mr
flynn
or
or
neighbors
shouldn't
be
maintaining
the
park,
but
sometimes
when
you
have
to
it
happens,.
I
Kelly,
I
disagree
that
you
know
that
that
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time
people
are
having
to
take
care
of
those
parks,
and
you
know
it
should
be
a
rotating
schedule.
People
ask
for
you
know
the
new
schedules.
You
know
the
colvit
schedules.
It
should
be
some
type
of
schedule.
Some
type
of
expectation
that
we
we
should
be
able
to
receive
from
the
city
is
no
way
that
it's
acceptable
to
say
that
we
don't
have
the
manpower
to
do
with
it's
people
down
there.
I
J
L
So
watch
what
you
wish
for
in
the
way
of
equity,
because
woodlawn
park
I've
been
complaining
about
it
for
three
years
now,
four
years
we
put
in
the
playground
equipment,
they
didn't
landscape
it
properly.
The
grass
has
gotten
so
there's
there's
issues
with
uneven
ground
un
under
than
six
inch
grass
and
weeds,
etc.
These
days
it's
it
is
a
dangerous
situation
in
woodlawn
park,
I've
been
saying
that
it's
now
more
dangerous
than
ever.
With
regard
to
the
hidden
hazards.
L
You
know
from
four
three
years
ago,
that
are
you
know,
a
foot
and
a
half
high
and
my
granddaughter
thought
it
was
kind
of
fun
when
she
was
being
asked
to
cart
the
weeds
that
her
grandfather
had
pulled
over
to
the
you
know
the
trash
can.
That
was
then
overflowing
I've
had
people
complaining
about
the
basketball
courts
there
and
if
they
used
to
have
a
regular
person
come
in
in
the
morning,
you
know
there's
broken
bottles
and
trash
all
over
the
place,
and
that
is
not
being
kept
up.
L
L
That
is
something
that
should
be
basic
and
frankly,
I
would
prefer
to
see
the
parks
maintained
for
that
reason
than
for
us
to
even
deal
with
potholes
in
the
city,
so
derek
come
up
and
I'll
show
you
with
one
park
and
it's
because
and
it's
a
small
postage
stamp
kind
of
park.
You
know
it's
the
equivalent
of
like
four
city
lots
and
that's
it,
and
I
know
that
there
are
problems.
L
You
know
all
over
this
city
and
the
other
thing
that
is
happening
is
there's
roots,
tripping
hazards
underneath
some
of
this
grass
or
you
know,
or
it's
bear
etc.
L
So
if,
if
you
could,
if
the
leadership
could
convey
to
the
administration
that
we're
all
complaining
about
the
condition
of
the
parks
and
when
you
really
look
at
it
in
terms
of
quality
of
life
kinds
of
issues,
I
really
you
know,
there's
got
to
be
an
oasis
for
people
to
be
able
to
go
to.
I
was
also
over
at
the
spray
pads
in
swinburne.
L
The
grass
over
there
is
very
you
know,
long
and
you
know
similar
kinds
of
of
issues
with
uneven
ground,
etc.
L
B
G
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
is
something
that
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
came
it
came
up
is
that
we've
been,
and
we
will
continue
to
to
share
that,
but
it's
just
clearly
an
issue
throughout
the
city.
G
B
Okay,
mr
robinson,
mr
balor,
and
then
mr
harley.
F
Yeah,
so
I
just
wanted
to
just
piggyback
off
of
what
everybody's
saying,
but
it's
not
just
the
parks,
it's
these
other
properties
that
are
in
the
city.
F
I
remember
last
year
the
commissioner
came
before
us
and
he
said
that
he
was
going
to
dedicate
a
team
of
people
of
staff
when
they
were
restructuring
their
department
to
pay
attention
to
the
problem
properties
in
our
city
that
are
have
been
you
know,
or
that
consistently
have
issues
with
overgrown
brush
consistently
have
issues
with
people
dumping
and
even
like
you
know,
the
sidewalks
are
in
front
of
properties
that
now
have
you
know
weeds
going
through
the
going
through
the
the
sidewalks,
and
he
assured
us
that
he
was
gonna
dedicate
a
team
of
people
to
take
care
of
these,
because
we
all
find
ourselves
in
you
know
calling
about
the
same
problem
properties
every
single
year,
and
so
you
know
I
really
want
you
know
to
know.
F
What's
going
on
with
the
commissioner
and
his
response
to
many
of
these
problem
properties
in
the
city.
M
I
really
think
we
need
to
have
a
conversation
about
about
that
as
well,
as
you
know,
conversation
about
the
fact
that
there
was
no
funding
in
the
federal
bill
for
state
or
locals
in
the
in
the
senate
bill
for
state
or
local
government,
because
that's
a
lot
of
reasons
why
we're
in
this
situation,
you
know
dgs
is
down
40
to
as
much
as
70
people.
M
If
you
count,
seasonals
depends
who
you
speak
to
the
police
department's
down
57
and,
if
you
add
in
the
additional
retirees
that
number
goes
up,
you
know
park
and
recreation
took
a
beating
with
its
workforce,
especially
with
its
youth
workforce
programs.
M
So
a
lot
of
these
issues
that
we
are
facing
as
a
city,
a
lot
of
other
cities
are
facing,
but
if
you
go
down
to
the
coal,
the
call
is:
we've
been
asked
to
make
massive
cuts
in
half
of
a
year,
so
you're
asking
an
municipality
to
cut
10
of
your
budget
roughly
in
half
of
the
year,
so
you're
seeing
massive
cuts
now
affect
everywhere
and
it
is
frustrating
and
it
is
frustrating
I
know
it's
frustrating
for
the
men
and
women
that
are
working
and
trying
to
get
to
as
many
of
these
projects
as
possible.
M
You
know
I
I
you
know
I've
I've
been
frustrated
as
well
with
some
of
the
lag
time
and
trying
to
get
things
cleaned
up.
You
know
and
to
the
point
where
I
go
in
my
weed
whack
it
like
I
mentioned
last
week
to
just
get
it
done
and
it's
I
mean.
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
conversation
of
what
else
we
can
do
to
push
for
that
federal
funding,
because
that's
why
we're
feeling
so
much
pain.
M
I
I
I
mean
if
anyone
ever
questioned,
if
our
summer
youth
program
was
effective.
Well,
look
at.
What's
going
on
in
our
city
when
you
drop
a
summer
youth
program
from
1200
to
400
or
500.,
look
what's
going
on
in
new
york
city
when
you
drop
a
summer
youth
program
from
twenty
thousand
to
a
thousand
or
twelve
hundred,
so
these
programs
have
a
net
benefit
for
our
city.
M
N
N
I
heard
the
dispatchers
police,
the
emergency
dispatchers
are
down
seven,
they
had
hired
a
bunch
of
people.
A
lot
of
people
realized
how
hard
the
job
was
and
dropped
out.
As
far
as
dgs,
I
used
to
always
be
able
to
write
to
molly
mcguire
and
cc
sergio
and
get
an
answer,
and
I've
sent
them
emails
of
the
last
three
weeks
and
I'm
not
getting
an
answer
back.
N
N
A
Okay,
so
time.
B
I'll
I'll
I'll
get
an
answer
and
the
in-house
paid.
A
J
B
Did
I
miss
anyone
else?
Yes,
rich
actually
richard
and
then
we'll
go
back
to
you,
mr
johnson,.
L
O
Yeah,
so
I'm
really,
I
guess,
of
mixed
minds,
because
I
hear
what
alfredo
is
saying
and
I
understand
the
financial
constraints
and
everything,
and
I
also
hear
what
judy
is
saying
about
the
importance
of
parks-
and
you
know
I
know,
before
this
whole
covert
stuff
hit
the
mayor
had
this
internal
quality
of
life
task
force,
with
all
the
departments
involved
to
try
to
do.
You
know
strategic
focus
on
these
issues,
which
I
guess
is
really
not
possible
to
pull
that
together,
get
that
going
again
until
we
get
out
of
this
whole
issue.
O
But
I
understand
the
financial
issues
at
some
point:
we're
going
to
have
to
bite
the
bullet
depending
on
what
happens
in
d.c,
but
you
know
I
also
come
back.
Parks
are
really
important.
O
My
parks
are
suffering
also,
and
property
maintenance
is
important,
whether
it's
you
know,
the
vacant
lots
the
debris,
the
amount
of
debris
and
litter,
and
all
of
that
it
really
does
send
a
message
to
people
about
how
they
value
their
neighborhoods
in
the
city
and
everything
else-
and
you
know
it's
it's
just
something
we
need
to
deal
with,
because
I
think
that
builds
up.
You
know
ownership
and
pride,
etc.
O
So
I'm
just
going
all
over
the
place,
but
I
understand
the
financial
issues,
but
there
are
you
know
the
the
parks,
property,
maintenance,
property
maintenance
stuff
like
that
weeds
all
over
the
place.
O
B
Thank
you
richard,
mr
johnson.
I
Yes,
you
know
listening
to
every
time,
there's
a
concern
brought
up.
It's.
You
know
people
coming
up
talking
about
numbers,
you
know
like.
If
you
we
keep
ignoring
the
residents
and
you're
ignoring
the
employees,
people
are
leaving
albany
and
leaving
those
jobs
for
a
reason,
but
we
we're
acting
like
we
don't
know.
What's
going
on,
you
know
it
has
to
be
some
changes
made
if
we're
going
to
ever
get
different
results.
I
So
you
know
I
like
I.
I
know
that
it
now
is
starting
to
spread
out
all
over
the
city
that
other
parts
parts
aren't
being
cared
for,
and
that's
why
months
ago
I
called
that
it
need
to
be
a
change
it
needs.
It
needs
to
be
some
changes.
I
You
know
we
can
we
get
you
get
we're
hearing
too
much
of
the
same
thing
from
people.
It's
a
lot
of
unhappy
people,
but
no,
you
know
nothing
is
being
done
about
it.
So
that's
why
you
hear
my
frustration
and
when
some
of
these
points,
because
I've
been
speaking
about
them
for
three
years.
L
Thank
you,
I'm
a
little
frustrated
when
we
talk
about
being
in
the
hall
18
million
dollars
when
we
met
two
weeks
ago,
and
we
are
promised
details
that
they
would
be
providing
us
with
details.
They
presented
us
with
information,
and
I
was
asking
for
some
of
the
details
behind
that.
L
So
we
could
understand,
and
I
think
that
some
of
it,
my
point,
was
some
of
it,
I
think,
was
potentially
double
reported,
both
as
a
loss
in
revenue
and
also
a
need
to
cut
additional
positions
in
the
police,
for
example,
for
activities
that
would
be
paid
overtime.
L
We
need
to
press
for
that
information.
Actually,
you
know
I
gotta
say
I
I
feel
like
the
administration
is
completely
disrespecting
us
because
they
provided
us
with
cursory
information.
We
asked
for
information.
We
were
assured
we
were
going
to
get
that
information.
We
were
told
potentially
by
that
friday,
and
here
it
is
two
weeks
later
and
we
still
do
not
have
that
information.
L
I
also
want
to
note
that
some
of
that
breakdown
we
were
told
we
were
going
to
get
at
the
prior
meeting.
We
had
a
month
before
the
meeting
that
we
had
two
weeks
ago
on
this.
So
with
regard
to
really
understanding
where
we
are
at,
we
should
have
that
information.
L
L
Well,
why
don't
we
have
that
information
about
where
they're
really
making
cuts,
if
they're
making
cuts
and
what's
really
going
on
here?
So
I
find
I
find
it
very
frustrating
and
disturbing
the
lack
of
information
that
we
are
being
provided.
We
are
entitled
to
that
information,
as
I've
noted
in
the
email
to
the
leadership.
L
It
may
be
time
for
us
to
submit
a
foil
request
for
that
information
and
then
share
that
foil
request
with
the
press,
so
that
the
press
knows
we're
frustrated
in
not
getting
this
kind
of
information
that
that
this
is
not
open
and
transparent
government
with
regard
to
property
maintenance.
Excellent
point,
but
I
want
to
note
that
when
somebody
is
when
a
property
has
gotten
to
the
point
where
it's
not
being
maintained
like
that,
then
we
have
the
ability
to
find
those
property
owners
and
then
also
bill
them
for
the
cost
of
doing
the
work.
L
So
there's
an
opportunity
to
you
know
to
not
have
people
being
laid
off
by
having
resources
devoted
to
those
things
that
can
actually
generate
revenue.
It's
not
going
to
be
fully
reimbursed,
but
it
certainly
is
going
to
be
a
far
lesser
impact
on
our
budget
if
we're
actually
doing
the
follow-through
with
fining
and
and
billing
people
and
get
getting
people,
especially
absentee
landlords.
L
The
message
that
they
need
to
be
maintaining
these
properties,
including
the
stuff
out
in
front
of
the
the
sidewalk
areas,
etc,
which
I
note
has
introduced
legislation
to
increase
the
fines
for
and
require
people
to
maintain
sidewalk
areas
as
well.
G
I
just
wanted
to
say
judy
that
I,
as
you
know,
I
share
your
frustration
and
it
is
something
that
regularly
I
mean
every
single
time
and
it's
you're
right.
It's
incredibly
frustrating.
G
I
would
hate
to
think
that
the
council
would
have
to
foil
to
get
information,
but
we
we
might
be
at
that
stage,
and
it
is
what
we
continually
hear
is
we
have
to
wait
for
the
federal
government.
We
have
to
wait
for
the
federal
government
and
it's
just
not
that
doesn't
necessarily
we're
going
to
have
to
make
budget
cuts,
so
the
18
million
dollars
is
not
yet
out
of
we're
not
yet
operating
at
that
stage.
G
For
the
most
part
we
haven't
made,
there
hasn't
been
dramatic
cuts
and
those
cuts
will
be
felt
and
yeah.
We
have
to
see
where
they
are
so.
P
P
Say
something
I
I
just
want
to
remind
people,
you
know
just
how
incredibly
sensitive
this
issue
is.
As
I
guess,
we
want
more
details
that
I
and
we
were
promised
more
details.
P
However,
as
soon
as
we
start
talking
about,
you
know,
x
number
of
cuts
in
dgs
x
number
of
cuts
wherever
it
is,
you
know
you're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
families
extremely
upset
and
if
some
money's
going
to
be
coming
through
for
local
government-
and
I
you
know-
I
do
believe
that
that's
going
to
happen,
that's
what
I've
heard
will
happen,
despite
the
fact
that
if
there
is
nothing
in
the
senate
bill
because
there
is
those
kind
of
negotiations
that
go
on
you
know,
I
think
you
would
want
to
wait
very
very
late
before
you
talk
about
where
those
cuts
are
because
you
know
people
are
barely
making
it
now
and
if
they're
facing,
if
they
have
to
worry
about
losing
their
jobs.
P
You
know
that's
something
you
really
want
to
talk
about
as
late
in
the
process
as
possible.
So
you
know
I
think
we
have
to
be
really
sensitive
to
that.
L
P
B
Talking
about
that,
okay,
all
right
yep,
just
a
moment
here
and
miss
faye
folks-
are
already
upset
and
scared
that
thank
you
we're
past
that
point.
So
I
don't
think.
P
B
B
No
numbers,
I
think
it
can,
but
but
we
we
need
this
information.
Okay,
so
miss
frederick.
I
apologize
for
missing
you,
mr
conte,
then
mr
ballen.
E
Thanks
kelly,
I
just
want
to
comment
on
one
point
that
judy
made
there
and
the
ability
to
find
some
of
these
houses
or
vacant
lots
or
not
having
the
upkeep
that's
necessary.
So
I
had
a
conversation
and
I'm
sure
many
of
us
have
multiple
properties
in
our
awards
that
are
frustrating,
because
we
get
consistent
calls
about
the
lack
of
care-
and
I
spoke
to
the
commissioner
of
billings
and
codes,
and
he
expressed
his
frustration
with
the
fact
that
they
go
through
this
process.
E
They
cite
the
owners
and
they
give
them
the
various
fines
for
everything
that
they
violated,
but
then,
when
it
gets
to
the
courts,
there's
a
sense
of
leniency,
and
so
the
the
slumlords
for,
like
a
better
term,
walk
away
with
a
small
bill,
and
they
just
continue
because
they
don't
see
any
reprimand
for
their
actions.
E
So
I
don't
know
what
we
can
do
to
sort
of
get
to
an
understanding
with
the
courts
that
we
actually
want
to
see.
Some
changes
occur,
but
that's
one
of
the
frustrations
that
the
commissioner
seems
to
be
having
with
a
lot
of
these
properties.
A
O
Thanks
and
I
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
stuff-
that's
been
said
here-
I
just
want
to
make
one
observation.
The
council,
as
an
institution,
should
never
foil
for
information.
J
O
O
M
I
guess
my
whole
point
was
to
spark
what
we've
just
had
and
that's
an
honest
conversation.
That's
not
fearless
of
the
problems
that
we
have
ahead
of
us.
I
hope
we
get
the
federal
funding.
I
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
fight
to
get
our
fair
share
of
federal
funding.
I
don't
see
it
as
a
bailout.
I
see
like
a
relief
just
like
we've.
We've
helped
wall
street.
Why
are
we
not
going
to
help
our
people
who
pave
our
streets
and
keep
our
streets
safe?
M
So
I
hope
we
get
that
funding,
but
I
also
think
we
need
to
have
conversations
and
not
be
afraid
of
those
tough
conversations
about
the
reality.
If
we
don't
get
the
federal
funding
that
we
deserve
and
actions
have
already
been
done.
I
mean
there's
actions
that
have
already
been
done.
We
only
had
we.
We
are
57
offices
down,
that's
20
percent
of
our
betrayal.
M
M
those
are
effects
that
are
happening
now,
so
you
know,
even
though
we
may
say
well,
it
hasn't
kicked
in
yet
it
already
has
kicked
in
and
we
can't
be
afraid
of
having
that
conversation
and
having
that
conversation
about
what
happens.
If
nothing
comes
in
and
it's
not
going
to
be
pleasant,
but
I
think
there's
more
anxiety
by
not
having
those
conversations
by
not
planning
it
out.
M
Then
you
know
pushing
it
down.
You
know
down
down
the
down
the
bell
or
down
the
street.
You
know
the
more.
We
push
it
down
the
harder
those
conversations
are
going
to
be.
So
I'm
glad
we
were
having
the
conversation
now
and
I
hope
we
continue
to
have
these
conversations
and
I
hope
we
do
have
people
from
the
administration
join
us
and
share
our
information
because
it
shouldn't
be
done
yeah,
you
know
they.
They
have
a
huge
part
in
this
and
I'm
not
taking
that
away
from
them,
but
share
the
burden.
M
B
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
bella,
and
I'd
have
to
say
on
on
this
side.
We
we're
having
these
discussions.
We
we
need
information
to
get
deeper
into
and
make
make
some
get
further
into
conversation.
Regarding
this,
mr
robinson.
F
Yeah
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
know
yeah,
you
know
you
know
billing
the
property
owners.
Is
you
know
that?
That's
one
caveat
that
you
know
one
course
of
action.
However,
what
I've
known
I've
through
some
research
with
building
buildings
and
codes.
There
are
multiple
properties
in
my
district
where
the
property
owner
has
been
deceased
for
a
while,
and
so
you
know
we
run
into
an
issue
where
you
know
every
year.
Neighbors
are
calling
me
to
complain
about
the
property.
I
tell
dgs,
and
you
know
dgs
has
this
information
they.
F
They
know
this
information,
so
I'm
just
you
know,
and
then
you
know
we
have
to
wait
until
the
property
goes
into.
You
know
back
taxes
in
order
to
turn
it
over
to
the
county
and
that's
even
a
longer
process,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
we
also
need
to
have
the
discussion
on
what.
What
really
can
we
do
to
again
take
care
of
these
properties?
F
You
know
so
they're,
just
not
sitting
stagnated
and
contributing
to
the
the
issue
of
urban
blight
in
our
community.
So.
B
Thank
you,
mr
robinson.
Does
anyone
have
anything
else
at
this
point,
mr
shea.
L
So
I
just
wanted
to
note,
in
response
to
the
concerns
that
the
buildings
department
has,
that
that
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
on
the
council
understands
that
there,
when
it
comes
to
property
maintenance
issues
when
it
comes
to
weed
control
or
removal
of
snow,
long
grass,
that
those
are
things
that
dgs
has
the
authority
to
take
care
of
without
going
through
the
courts.
L
And
it's
you
know
I
I.
I
wonder
why.
Maybe
brett
can
tell
us
this
why
some
of
our
ability
to
abate
nuisances
can
can't
apply
to
the
exterior
other
aspects
of
the
exterior
of
a
house,
but
but
generally
the
process.
Is
you
when
a
violation
is
noticed?
L
The
owner
gets
noticed
they're,
given
I
don't
know
whether
it's
five
or
ten
days
to
abate
the
nuisance
and
then,
if
they
don't
or
the
the
lack
of
property
maintenance
when
it
comes
to
weeds
and
long
grass,
and
that
kind
of
thing
then
dgs
can
go
in
with
its
own
staff
and
and
then
go
ahead
and
build
without
going
through
the
courts
on
that
so
brett.
Do
you
know
why
that
kind
of
thing
can't
be
addressed
when
it
comes
to,
for
example,
broken
front,
stoops,
broken
windows,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
Q
An
answer
to
that
at
this
point
judy,
I'm
sure
the
staffing
issues
within
dgs
are
probably
playing
a
role
to
some
degree,
but
from
a
legal
perspective,
I
would
have
to
look
into
that
for
you,
which
I'm
happy
to
do.
L
B
And
my
time
as
a
beef
officer
in
the
city
dealing
with
those
very
issues,
I
I
recognized
that
I'd
see
it
because
I'd
be
out
in
the
neighborhood,
you
see
it,
and
this
is
years
back.
I
would
call
the
dgs
supervisor
who
would
meet
me
at
the
property
and
cite
it
put
the
notice
up.
It
was
a
seven
or
ten
day
notice
and
most
of
the
time
folks
responded
and
corrected
the
action.
But
if
they
didn't
on
that
seventh
or
that
tenth
day,
I
can't
remember
which
one
it
was.
B
I
met
the
dgs
crew
back
there
and
they
mowed
the
lawn,
a
reed
whacked
and
did
whatever
they
did
and
they
build
the
owner.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
know
why
we
can't
do
that
now.
I
don't
think
we
need
new
laws
or
any
just,
I
think
the
and
of
course
we're
in
the
time
of
covert.
But
I
mean
this
problem
goes
back.
Pre-Covet
officers
on
the
beat
need
to
be
doing
what
they're
doing
even
dgs
workers
they
drive
by
these
houses.
B
Do
they
not
have
a
responsibility
when
they
see
this
to
actually
engage
to
step
out
of
the
truck,
especially
the
supervisors,
in
sight
of
an
eyesore
of
a
property?
I
think
they
do
and
maybe
that's
the
kind
of
conversation
we
should
be
having
with
the
commissioner
sergio
about
them
being
proactive,
because
the
thing
is
I
mean
you
have
your
set
responsibility
and
your
route
that
you
run.
B
J
I've
been
trying
to
get
an
overgrowth
cut
on
city
property.
Okay,
like
people
say
right
now,
we
already,
I
think
I
agree
with
derrick,
and
everybody
else
here
concentrate
on
the
parks
for
the
reason
said
tonight,
but
you
know
it's
not
fair
to
go
trying
to
find
people
when
the
city
property
is
not
being
maintained.
At
this
point
either
I
mean
all
along
all
the
streets
I
got.
I
could
just
show
you,
okay,
but
I
know
what
we're
going
through,
but
to
go
after
private
homeowners
when
we
can't
take
care
of
our
own
property.
A
You
thank
you
mister.
I
go
miss
fahey.
P
B
Right
but
that
again
that
that
issue
and
the
way
I
always
function
and
the
rules
I
was
taught
from
the
curb
to
from
the
street,
to
the
front
door-
is
dgs
and
from
the
front
door
to
the
to
the
backyard.
The
back
fence
property
line
is
the
building
department,
but
the
I've
had
building
department.
Employees
also
meet
me
and
do
the
same
thing.
B
Vgs
was
most
responsive
and
it's
dealt
mostly
with
stuff.
That
was
right
out
there
that
you
see,
but
the
same.
The
same
idea
would
work
they're
violations
of
the
city
code.
You
get
a
building
inspector
or
a
dgs
supervisor
or
worker.
To
cite
it.
B
No,
no,
they
they.
They
won't
do
the
repairs
that
whole
process
is
kind
of
screwy
and
there's
some
issue
with
owners
by
the
code
as
a
local
owner
here
that
doesn't
still
reside
here,
you're
supposed
to
have
a
local
agent
that
maintains
the
property
and
that's
a
contact
for
the
city
most
a
lot
of
folks.
B
Don't
have
that,
like
mr
robinson
mentioned
folks,
pass
away
and
the
records
don't
get
updated
and
it
just
sit,
the
properties
sit
and
languish,
and,
and
they
get
worse
so
I
I
mean
that's
that,
maybe
we
need
to
look
at
that
process
or
at
least
have
the
building
department
look
at
that
process
for
dealing
with
those
issues,
because
some
actually.
P
I
think
the
administration
was
looking
at
that
situation
with
people
where
they're
deceived
try
to
help
family
members,
because
I
have
an
issue
on
on
here
in
the
seventh
ward,
exactly
like
that.
They
a
lot
of
folks,
don't
know
how
to
go
and
settle
their
estates,
and
things
like
that
and
I
believe
the
administration
was
looking
at
that
trying
to
help
families
do
that.
I'm
not
sure
was
through
the
police
department
or
where.
But
I
recall
that
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else.
B
Does
I
I
can
check
in
check
with
the
building
department
about
that
and
see
the.
C
Q
Yeah,
I
do
know
the
administration
was
looking
into
something
along
those
lines.
You
know
even
just
getting
better
at
education
out
there
about
probating
estates
and
settling
estates,
and
things
like
that.
I
don't
know
what
the
current
status
of
that
is
but
yeah.
I
think
councilmember
he's
right
that
there
was
some
sort
of
effort
in
that
direction.
C
And
just
as
an
aside
the
legal
aid
society
of
the
northeastern
new
york,
they
did
they.
They
have
something
out
there
that
they're
trying
to
tell
people
to
do
with
estate
planning
given
with
covet
and
a
lot
of
people.
Unfortunately,
passing
away,
there
have
been
estate
issues
throughout
the
state.
Now.
B
Okay,
any
more
cans
or
any
others
like.
F
Yeah
last
point
the
commissioner
told
us
sergio
he
had
a
plan.
He
had
a
plan
to
address
all
the
issues
that
we're
talking
about
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
face.
The
council
with
the
administration
is
that
there's
no
communication
if
his
plan
was
not
working
or
if
his
plan
was
going
to
be
altered
because
of
covid.
F
This
is
something
that
he
should
have
communicated
with
the
council
so
that
we
can
be
aware,
and
then
you
know,
we
know
how
to
move
properly
in
this
and
what's
going
on,
and
so
I
really
think
that
the
commissioner
needs
to
be
called
to
the
floor,
to
explain
to
us
what
is
going
on
with
his
response
to
the
council
and
to
the
issues
of
our
communities.
B
Okay,
I
mean
if
we
did,
that
it
would
be
in
a
general
services
committee
meeting,
so
we
have
to
schedule
that
again,
if
we're,
if
we're-
and
I
think
I
was
pretty
spot
on
with
dgs's
out
front
to
the
front
door,
buildings
is
behind
that
to
the
back
of
your
property
line.
So
I
mean
we
probably
need
some
kind
of
response
from
the
building
department
or
someone
over
there
also
about
how
they're
handling
these
issues
also.
But
we
could.
We
could
ask.
I
Ahead,
mr
johnson
yeah,
but
couldn't
we
call?
Is
it
a
way?
We
can
call
them
in
front
of
the
fall
council,
because
this
is
you
know,
everybody's
saying
the
same
thing
and
you
know
it's
been
times
in
the
past
where
they
haven't
come
in
front
of
committee
meetings.
I
So
I
think
this
is
one
time
that
you
pretty
much
hear
everybody
saying
the
same
thing
and
there
should
be
some
answers
and
you
know,
and
it's
sad
that
we're
at
a
time
where
we
have
to
start
thinking
about
foiling
to
get
information,
because
this
has
been
the
process
for
the
three
years
that
I've
been
listening
and
and
and
when
when
he
was
acting,
he
wasn't
getting
it
and
and
I'm
hearing
the
same
thing
now.
I
So
is
this
the
way
this
city
is
being
ran
because
you're,
not
you
know,
we
don't
only
hear
about
us
but
you're
hearing
about
everybody
else.
That's
action
for
information,
so
I
feel
some
type
of
way
because
I
can
remember
being
told
that
I
was
gonna
get
a
audit
for
the
waze
the
wave
center,
and
I
never
got
that.
I
So
we
need
some
help
here
and
it
needs
to
be
some
attention
brought
to
the
matter,
because
if
the
administration
is
acting
like
that,
that's
why
the
commissioners
feel
like
they
don't
have
to
be
responsive
to
the
needs
of
the
community.
B
Okay,
we
would
have
to
get
him
to
a
caucus
I'll
work
with
michelle
to
make
that
that.
G
I
I
will
say
that
just
the
everybody
can
go
to
a
dgs
meeting,
so
I
think
it's
something
that
there's
a
lot
more
flexibility
in
scheduling,
dgs
meetings
and
our
caucuses
run
pretty
long
anyway.
So
it
would.
I
I
don't
see
why
we
wouldn't
just
do
a
dgs
meeting
that
everybody
goes
to.
H
B
Okay,
so
it'd
be
an
opportunity
for
for
members
to
question
again
I'll.
Do
it,
however,
whatever
way
members
want
to,
but
that's
what
the
committees
are
for,
and
I
was
also
thinking
that
caucuses.
We
have
we're
dealing
with
the
mariata
issues
and
the
legislation
and
things
to
try
to
squeeze
what
would
probably
be
a
lengthy
conversation
with
the
dgs,
commissioner,
into
a
regular
caucus.
I
So
if
I
I'm,
I
just
feel
the
need
to
jump
in
the
24th.
That
means
that
that's
you
know
three
to
four
weeks
away.
You
we
only
get
a
certain
amount
of
days
for
people
to
be
able
to
enjoy
the
parks
to
people
to
be
able
to
come
outside.
So
I
just
that's
the
reason
why
I
was
saying
bring
them
in
front
of
because
it
was
trying
to
make
it
sooner
more
than
later.
R
He's
on
vacation
for
two
weeks,
so
that's
why
the
meeting
was
pushed
all
the
way
to
the
24th.
So
I
don't
think
it's
possible
to
get
him
before
that.
