A
A
Everyone
welcome
to
our
monday
march
15th
caucus
prior
to
our
regular
council
meeting
mr
ref.
Mr
potaro,
can
you
just
call
out
folks
for
the
record?
Yes,
thank
you.
No
problem.
C
Let's
see,
we
have
here:
council
council
president
pro
tem
kelly,
kimbrough
council
member
robinson
council,
member
ballerin,
council
member
fehe,
council
member
farrell,
councilmember
flynn,
councilmember
igo,
councilmember,
conti,
councilmember,
frederick,
council
member
hoey,
councilmember
o'brien.
C
I
believe
that's
it.
I
think
I
think
we
have
president
corey
ellis
with
us
as
well
from
staff
myself,
daniel
gillespie
and
brett
williams
from
corporation
council's
office,
and
then
we
have
members
of
the
public
who
are
waiting
to
speak
tonight
at
the
actual
meeting.
A
Okay
and
just
for
the
members
of
the
public
that
are
in
in
the
caucus,
the
public
comment
portion
doesn't
come
until
the
meeting
which
starts
at
7
00
p.m.
Okay,
so
going
through
the
the
agenda
for
approval
of
minutes
from
a
previous
meeting,
I've
got
the
march
1st
2021
meeting
minutes.
D
E
I'm
wondering
how
many
other
people
have
had
an
opportunity
to
review
the
revised
ones
they
were
sent
out.
I
think
on
right.
E
I
I
have
not,
but
if,
if
there's
been
a
good
number
of
people
who
have
had
that
opportunity,
I'm
glad
to
go
along
with
people,
who've
reviewed
it.
A
Okay,
all
right
we'll
move
forward
with
them
next
on
to
consideration
of
local
laws.
A
We
all
have
a
local
law
d
by
mr
inani
regarding
providing
for
additional
paid
sick
leave,
he's
not
here
but
that'll,
be
going
to
finance
it'll,
be
a
referral
finance.
G
A
And
we
have
the
mc
mister,
how
is
it
I
thought
I
wrote
it
down.
A
2021.,
mr
conti's
local
law,
e
of
of
2020.
that'll,
be
a
referral
to
regarding
the
dirt
bikes
and
four
wheelers
that'll,
be
a
referral
of
public
safety.
I
G
A
We
referral
of
public
safety
and
we're
going
to
try
to
get
that
in
that
24th
public
safety
meeting,
so
we
can
get
going
on
it
along
with
local
lossy.
Next,
on
the
ordinance
introduced,
we
have
ordinance
and
we'll
do
it
like
this
ordinance,
5
32
23.
Excuse
me,
32
21,
through
10
32
21.
I
Can
I
ask
a
question
on
those-
and
I
guess
maybe
it's
directed
towards
kathy?
Yes,
so
those
are
all
placeholders
and
it's
the
intent
that
as
we
go
through
them
that
what
we
ultimately
of
the
the
final
ordinance
that
there
will
be
a
separate
ordinance
for
each
chapter.
That's
reviewed.
I
No,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
If
that's
that's
the
intent
I
mean
each
chapter
doesn't
necessarily
stand
on
its
own
because
there
are
cross-references
and
changes
so.
I
Yeah,
I
think,
as
you
move
forward,
you
know
break
it
up
so
that
you
have
separate
committee
meetings
on
the
individual
chapters,
but
I
guess
at
the
end,
for
whatever
the
final
adoption
is,
that
it
might
be
bundled
into
one.
I
E
Hadn't
really
thought
about
it.
Yeah.
I
also
had
not
anticipated
that
it
would
be
actual
separate
ordinances
like
like
richard
says
you
amend
something
in
article
two
and
it
often
affects
article
four
any
any
place
you
do
amendments
you
are
very
likely
to
be
affecting
something
in
the
definitions
which
is
article
six.
E
So
so
I
would
hope
that,
as
we
consider
each
chapter
that
we
are
holding
it
until
we
feel
like
we
have
something
cohesive
enough
that
are
all
compatible
before
we
actually
do.
Adoptions.
E
E
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
raise
is
that
I
think
it's
been
over
10
days
since
we've
proposed
a
schedule
and
I
think
that
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
go
ahead
and
reserve
those
times
on
all
of
our
calendars
for
those
particular
dates,
but
I
think,
to
some
extent
we're
waiting
to
hear
from
brad.
If
brad
I.
F
Yeah,
I
I
I
I'll
yeah.
I
think
he
you
know
he's
seen
the
schedule,
but
I'll
just
confirm
with
him
on
the
dates,
and
you
know
we
may
end
up
having
to
to
move
some
of
the
dates
for
various
reasons
as
we
go
along,
but
I
will
see
you
know
if
he's
been
able
to
firm
it
up
on
some
of
them
up
on
his
end
as
well,
but.
E
It's
but
it's
good
to
get
danielle
to
block
it
out
on
all
right.
Yours,
you
put
up
the.
F
I
have
made
I
have
made
that
request
and
I've
also
every
every
committee
member
has
received
the
tentative
schedule
and
I
think
all
the
council
members
have
haven't
you
folks,
okay,
so
please,
if
you
could
put
these
still
tentative
dates
in
your
calendar,.
E
Well,
actually,
kathy,
I
love
it
when,
when
staff
sets
up
and
and
it's
added
to
our
google
calendar
so
that
we're
all
getting
it.
F
Danielle,
did
we
talk
about
doing
that?
I
think
so.
She's
go
and
we
talked
earlier
judy.
I
think
danielle's
gonna
get
to
that
all.
E
A
Okay,
so,
on
to
the
next
ordinance,
11
32
21.,
it's
mine,
it's
authorizing
the
sale
to
gerrymond
of
948
broadway
that'll
be
going
to
finance
to
be
reviewed.
I
would
ask
that
mr
williams,
we
don't.
We
don't
have
a
sale
price
on
that.
Yet
there's
a
an
assessed
value.
We
can't
move
forward
without
it,
so
it'll
slow
up
the
process.
If
you
could
work
on
getting
us
that.
K
Yeah
that
that
property
still
has
a
number
of
steps
that
it
has
to
go
to
has
to
go
to
the
trc.
Yet
I
believe.
A
Again,
going
to
finance
then
on
to
ordinances
held,
we
have
number,
we
have
10
and
11
relating
to
to
to
scott's
scott
street.
Mr
pachardo,
can
you
just
update
us
on?
It
was
being
amended,
but
I
think
yes,
we.
C
Myself
and
myself
and
mr
williams
have
been
in
talks
with
the
developer's
attorney,
we're
we've
been
going.
We've
been
going
over
on
several
different
portions
of
language
in
terms
of
the
reverter
language,
the
one
that
was
just
recently
sent
out.
We
reconsidered
it.
We
reconsidered
it
last
minute,
so
we're
we're
going
to
be
holding
off
on
44
and
45
and
we'll
be
voting
on
the
next
meeting
in
april.
A
Okay,
so
so
those
are
off
10
and
11..
A
Next,
on
to
resolutions
introduced
okay,
we
got
council
members,
love
and
robinson's
29
32
21,
it's
a
resolution
recognizing
reverend
willie
james
stovall
and
his
commitment
and
contributions
to
the
city
that
will
be
a
pass
or
we'll
be
voting
on
it.
L
And
also
kelly,
just
fyi
councilman
love
would
like
for
me
to
introduce
and
pass
that
resolution.
A
Sir
okay
next
resolution,
30
3221
honoring
deaconess
lila
wallace
by
ms
doshay,
passing
that
too,
I
believe
all
members
said:
they'd
be
co-sponsors
on
that
and
on
the
the
reverend
stovall
and
also
we're
all
listed
as
co-sponsors.
Okay,
that's
30-32-21.
A
A
Next
by
miss
frederick's,
31
32,
21
resolution
honoring,
the
life
of
stephen
winters
also
passed.
A
And
I
want
to
be
a
co-sponsor
because
I
knew
steve
and
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
you
have,
I
guess
during
the
process,
you
guys
can
all
just
acknowledge
them.
A
Okay,
next
on
to
resolutions
hell,
we
have
number
eight
by
finance
ms
farrell
number
13
21
21r
did
you
want
to
say
anything
about
that?
It
passed
the.
J
Sure
that
passed
the
finance
through
the
finance
committee
unanimously
and
that
is
changing
an
open
hr
position
to
a
different
designation
with
a
slightly
higher
raise
and
it's
to
support
our
the
and
I'm
totally
blanking
on
it.
I
had
it
all
pulled
up
it's
to
support
our
diversity
within
the
city
and
that
office,
because
they're
finding
that
they
need
a
lot
more
support
with
that.
So
they're
hoping
to
really
get
a
good
person
in
there
and
help
that
office
expand.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
I'll,
be
a
pass
or
we'll
be
voting
on
it.
Next
is
number
nine
by
planning
and
miss
fahey
for
the
reappointment
of
jeff
sperry.
He
passed
out
a
committee
with
a
positive
recommendation,
so
we'll
be
moving
that
forward.
A
Okay,
the
next
is
my
resolution
number
13
under
resolutions
cell
26,
31
21r.
The
resolution
for
the.
A
Okay,
we're
recording
right,
good,
we're
all
right,
so
the
resolution
26
31
21r
in
relation
to
executive
order
203.
I
think
it
because
it
got
worked
on
and
was
late
coming
out.
Mr
prachardo,
can
you
just
share
it?
So
members.
A
A
This
is
where
we're
at
I'd,
like
I'd,
actually
like
to
vote
on
it.
I
said
that
the
other
day
again,
I
I
don't
agree
with
everything.
That's
that's
in
the
plan.
However,
I
think
we
need
to
to
move
forward,
and
so.
H
H
I
H
Whereas
because
we're
not
going
to
read
the
entire
thing,
you
just
want
to
call
our
attention
to
the
items
that
have
changed
correct.
C
So
I'll
point
I'll
point
them
out
for
just
two
now,
and
I
can
do
that
real
quick.
So
the
points
that
we
put
the
points
that
I
added
where,
when
it
was
called
that
the
collaborator
was
called
back
in
august,
they
first
met
on
august
18th
in
2020
and
met
weekly
on
tuesdays
from
6
p.m,
to
7,
30
p.m.
And
whereas
several
working
groups
were
formed
to
review
current
practices
and
review
and
propose
reforms,
forms
of
policing
in
the
city
of
albany.
C
Whereas
the
collaborative
produced
several
reports
and
presented
a
draft
on
february
1
2021,
with
subsequent
amendments
presented
later
parentheses,
the
plan
or
plan
to
the
common
council
of
the
city
of
albany
and
the
public
safety
committee
met
on
february,
8th
march,
2nd
and
march
8
2021
to
receive
public
comment
on
the
proposed
plan
by
the
collaborative
and
whereas
black
lives
matter,
and
now
therefore
be
resolved.
C
The
common
council
recognizes
that,
due
to
the
covet
19
pandemic,
that
community
participation
was
limited
to
online,
not
in
person
meetings
but
recognizes
the
effort
made
by
the
mayor's
administration
to
the
best
of
its
ability
to
have
an
open
and
transparent
process
timeline,
as
proposed
by
the
plan.
A
action
items
have
a
timeline
of
12
to
18
months.
It
is
preferred
that
the
timeline
state
0
to
18
months
as
some
of
the
action
items
can
be
completed
sooner
than
12
months
accountability.
C
The
plan
fails
to
state
any
measures
of
accountability
on
the
implementation.
It
is
recommended
that
the
mayor
and
the
chief
of
police
provide
the
common
council
a
quarterly
report
on
the
status
of
the
implementation
of
all
the
action
items,
as
well
as
any
changes
amendments
made
to
the
plan
actions
by
the
common
council.
C
Local
law,
eye
of
2020
establishes
a
body-worn
camera
policy
in
our
code:
local
law,
jay
of
2020
reforms,
the
community
police
police
review
board
items
absent
from
the
plan.
The
plan
fails
to
implement
an
overall
vision
on
police
reform
to
make
all
working
groups,
findings
and
recommendations
come
together.
As
noted
by
community
members
section.
C
One
of
the
plan
summarizes
key
recommendations
of
the
working
group,
but
fails
to
acknowledge
that
oops
sorry
that
the
city
of
albany
will
take
into
consideration
other
recommendations
from
the
work
groups
found
in
section
two
of
the
plan
as
part
of
the
overall
police
form
and
then,
as
recognized
by
some
members
of
the
policy
standards,
operative
procedures
and
general
orders
working
group.
The
recommendations
have
portions
missing.
Any
amendments
to
that
plan
should
be
sent
to
the
common
council
for
further
review.
C
Be
it
finally
resolved
that
the
common
council
adopts
the
plan
as
presented
from
the
mayor's
office,
with
the
understanding
that
it
is
the
initial
step
in
making
formative
changes
to
policing
and
recognizes
the
plan
is
not
fully
comprehensive
and
that
there
will
be
various
recommendation,
recommendations
and
changes
to
the
to
current
policy.
That
will
continue
to
be
identified
and
will
result
in
additional
legislation.
A
M
Hoey,
yes,
I
read
the
letter
and
I
kind
of
speed
read
it
today
from
alice
green
and
from
what
I
can
see.
I
think
she's.
M
E
It
was
interesting,
receiving
jr's
email
today
with
the
information
from
ava
about
this
and
and
the
extent
of
what
is
missing
from
one
piece
of
this
report
with
regard
to
this
summary,
and
there
are
no
timelines
for
some
of
those
actions
that
are
in
there
some
we've
already
done,
but
there
are
no
timelines
for
the
things
that
have
been
omitted
and
ava
asks
a
really
critical
question.
I'm
wondering
if
we've
gotten
a
clear
answer
from
the
administration,
because
danielle
has
raised
this.
E
I
have
raised
this,
I'm
not
sure
if
other
sections
of
the
report
are
missing
items,
but
my
guess
is
that
that
they
that
they
were
not,
there
are
other
items
that
have
not
been
incorporated
into
the
executive
summary
and
having
some
sort
of
timeline
associated
with
it.
So
the
question
that
ava
asks
is
my
question
is:
has
the
has
the
administration
answered
the
question
as
to
whether
or
not
they
have
rejected
the
recommendations
that
do
not
appear
in
the
executive
summary?
E
A
What
I
would
say
is
I
I
just
left
my
work
group
with
danielle
just
met
prior
to
this.
I
was
just
in
a
meeting
with
them
and
the
mayor's
staff
was
in
that
meeting
and
stated
that
all
of
the
the
recommendations
would
be
accepted
and
and
and
worked
on
and
implemented
that
they
accepted
them
all.
That's
that's
what
was
stated.
E
E
You
know-
and
I
had
only
done
a
spot
check
myself
and
noted
one
that
was
completely
missing
from
it.
So
what's
the
explanation
for
them,
omitting,
those
from
the
executive
summary
that
is
now
a
critical
part
of
this
plan
or
report
or
whatever
it
is.
A
E
I
was
a
little
surprised
that
we're
learning
by
press
release
that
there
is
such
a
task
force
and
and
anytime
you
create
a
board
advisory
board
or
body.
You
would
have
some
listing
of
the
express
authority,
the
purpose,
the
composition,
whether
they're
going
to
meet
behind
closed
doors
and
do
most
of
their
meeting
you
know
have
most
of
their
conversations
behind
closed
doors
or,
if
they're,
going
to
be
subject
to
the
open
meetings
law.
E
There
are
ethical
considerations
regarding
this:
how
much
of
the
budget
are
they
overseeing?
And
so
I
expected
a
staff
member
was
going
to
be
here
tonight
to
talk
about
that.
A
I
had
every
intention
of
doing
that
after
I
we
had
her
our
hour-long
conversation
of
reaching
out
to
them
and
then
I
had
an
emergency
and
I
spent
the
eight
hours
in
the
er
yesterday
and
it's
all
bandaged
up
now,
but
it's
pretty
bad.
So
I
apologize
for
not
making
that
connection
not.
A
You
do
to
yourself
yeah,
you
should
see
the
pictures,
but
we'll
have
to
get
them
into
caucus.
To
talk
about
that,
I
apologize.
I
had
every
intention.
I
was
actually
in
the
middle
of
a
meeting
with
miss
fredericks
and
mr
pachardo
when
this
happened
and
I
had
to
run
out
so
I
apologize
and
I'll
get
it
taken
care
of.
E
Doesn't
this
doesn't
make
it
a
plan?
We
can
sweep
it
under
the
rug
and
pretend
it's
a
plan,
but
we
have
a
number
of
council
members
on
record
saying
it's
not
a
plan,
and
I
I
I'll
finish
my
comments
in
the
meeting.
If
we're
going
to
vote
on
this.
A
G
N
Yeah,
I
just
had
a
question
just
the
urgency
of
trying
to
pass
it
tonight
seemed
like
a
council
member
from
the
night
board
has
some
serious
concerns
and
questions
about.
You
know
the
executive
chamber
not
having
a
plan
that
they
submitted
that
individuals
from
the
council
have
to
look
at
so
my
question
and
if
we
could
do
a
limit
test
who
feels
comfortable
in
passing
it
tonight,
you
know
if
we
don't
have
the
support
for
tonight.
I
don't
see
the
rush
waiting
to
pass
to
that
next
council
meeting.
We.
C
A
Got
it
and
I
happen
to
be
in
agreement
with
you,
mr
inani,
but
the
thing
is:
if
I
thought
I
don't
know
that
much
is
going
to
change
waiting
because
we're
trying
I've
tried
and
had
conversations
with
the
mayor's
folks
and-
and
this
is
their
what
they're,
offering.
I
E
No,
I
was
referring
to
the
task
force
for
the
financial,
oh
okay
issue,
that
relevant
only
because
I
expected
a
staff
member
to
be
here,
and
so
when
mr
kimbrough
was
saying
you
know
he
wishes,
he
had
a
staff
member
here
to
answer
the
question
as
to
why
some
things
were
not
included
in
the
executive
summary
and
given
timeline.
I
E
O
E
So
I
also
want
to
know,
I
believe
we
have
a
caucus
scheduled
for
march
31st
since
we're
all
meeting
virtually
and
since
that's
more
than
ten
days
from
now,
it
would
be
simple
enough
to
actually
convene
a
meeting
if
we
felt
compelled
to
stick
with
the
march
31st
deadline.
E
The
mayor
is
the
mayor
and
chief
hawkins.
They
get
since
they're
responsible
for
issuing
the
plan,
apparently
is
saying
it's
fine,
as
is-
and
I
am
suggesting
that
there's
a
lot
of
caveats
in
the
resolution
that
has
now
been
drafted,
we've
been
made
aware
of
a
number
of
deficiencies
of
it.
E
It
doesn't
even
address
what
the
governor's
office
guidance
documents
suggest
should
have
been
a
core
question.
First
question:
what
is
the
role
of
the
police
in
the
city
of
albany?
I
it's
not
there,
so
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
send
this
back
vote
down.
The
resolution
send
a
clear
message:
sending
it
back
to
the
mayor
that
this
is
not
a
plan.
This
is
not
adequate
and
we
need
to
do
better.
E
So
that's
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
understand
that
that
the
the
deadline
that
people
are
treating
is
a
hard
and
fast
deadline
is
not
necessarily
a
deadline.
The
issue
is
really
the
mayor's
office.
The
mayor
and
the
mayor's
office
and
chief
hawkins
don't
want
to
provide
a
real,
clear
plan
with
a
real,
clear
vision
for
our
police,
and
I
find
that
disappointing.
N
N
I
defer
to
the
members
that
spend
a
lot
of
hours
into
play
in
the
collaborative
and
also
some
of
the
reforms
that
were
suggested,
so
I
would
just
defer
to
those
members
and
if
there's
a
board
and
voted
for
it
tonight,
I
also
feel
comfortable
and
voting
for
it.
This
wasn't
an
easy
process.
It
was
hours
that
were
put
into
this,
so
I
will
defer
to
them.
N
H
K
Sure
yeah,
this
is
relevant
to
the
you
know,
203..
I
do
need
to
push
back
a
little
bit
on
what
councilmember
duchette
said,
yeah
it's
true
that
the
language
of
the
eo
says
that
the
director
of
the
division
of
the
budget
shall
be
authorized
to
condition
receipt
of
future
appropriated
state
or
federal
funding
upon.
K
Essentially,
our
passage
council's
passage
of
this
resolution.
I
guess
my
first
point
would
be
that
I
wouldn't
I
would
caution
against
thinking
that
they
will
or
won't
take
away
any
sort
of
funding.
You
know
by
waiting
until
after
april,
first
to
pass
this
resolution,
you
would
be
giving
them
the
option
to
take
away
or
to
not
provide
funding
which
you're
going
to
caution
against
in
the
very
strongest
terms,
and,
moreover,
the
language
of
the
executive
order
does
say
that
such
plan
shall
be.
K
Ratified
or
adopted,
as
appropriate
no
later
than
no
later
than
april
1st
2021.
So
even
by
not
adopting
the
plan
prior
to
april
1st
2021,
you
would
in
effect
be
going
against
what
the
executive
order
says.
K
C
C
You
know
by
april
1st,
not
after
the
fact
it's
it's
the
the
executive,
the
executive.
The
governor's
office
has
been
very
clear
that,
in
conversations
that
I've
heard
that
they
want
this,
they
want
all
the
municipalities
to
have
this
done
april.
First.
J
So
I'll
councilmember
and
I
asked
for
members
that
participated
in
the
process,
so
I'll
speak
to
that.
But
then
I
would
like
to
give
a
quick
finance
update,
and
so
my
feeling
is,
it
was
a
very.
It
was
an
intensive
process.
It
was
a
long
process.
There
was
a
lot
of
community
members
that
were
involved
in
it.
I
do,
could
there
have
been
more?
Could
it
have
been
done
differently
absolutely,
but.
H
J
Of
community
members
that
were
involved
in
it,
is
there
an
echo
in
here
so
the
the
people
that
were
involved
with
it,
though,
worked
very
hard,
and
my
view
on
this
is
that
it
cannot
and
should
not
be
seen
as
once
we
pass
this
it's
over.
This
is
the
beginning
of
the
process
and
it
is
a
long-term
process.
We
cannot
have
this
overnight,
so
are
there
things
that
I
would
like
to
have
differently
in
there
absolutely
do.
I
believe
that
there's
a
process
set
up
to
make
sure
those
things
things
happen.
J
I
do
think
there's
there's
that
process,
but
I
also
think
that
we
have
to
be
continually
vigilant.
So
I
appreciate
the
discussion
on
this
and
I
appreciate
the
desire
for
more
because
there
should
be
more,
but
I'm
very
comfortable
voting
for
this.
I
do
not
want
to
come.
I
to
me
the
people
that
were
involved
in
the
collaborative
that
spent
hours
and
hours
and
hours
on
this,
I'm
not
comfortable
voting
for
us
to
not
continue
with
the
process
in
the
next
step,
because
I
mean
kelly
was
just
meeting
with
his
group
again.
J
So
a
lot
of
the
people
that
were
involved
in
the
collaborative
are
still
meeting
still
involved
in
the
process,
so
I
am
comfortable
moving
forward
with
it
and-
and
I
think
it's
an
important
thing
for
us
to
vote
on,
do
I
think
we
should
ask
for
and
expect
more
absolutely.
J
This
is
the
beginning
to
me,
and
I
think
it
has
to
be
so
a
very
quick
budget
update
in
both
the
assembly
and
the
senate,
one
houses,
the
capital
city,
funding
and
full
aim
funding
for
albany
were
put
in
there,
so
huge
thanks
to
senator
breslin
and
assembly
members,
fahey
and
mcdonald.
J
It
is
really
we
are
so
fortunate
to
have
them
advocating
for
us,
because
you
know
that
that
shows
how
much
they
care
about
albany
and
want
to
see
the
success
for
our
city,
and
we
also
appreciate
the
leadership
in
both
houses
for
recognizing
how
important
it
is
a
quick
thing
for
the
the
stimulus
I
believe
albany
is
slated
for
85
million
dollars.
The
mayor
has
set
up
an
internal
control
room
and
an
external
control
room.
J
To
really
look
at
that,
I
it's
not
something
that
has
that
can
be
spent
all
at
once.
There's
a
lot
of
needs
that
need
to
be
looked
at,
but
at
our
next
wednesday
caucus
we
can
have
a
more
full
update
from
the
mayor's
office
on
that.
P
Yes,
mr
president,
pro
temp
we're
ten
minutes
out
over
seven
and
we
do
have
people
waiting
for
public
comment
period
yeah.
Mindful
of
that,
we
understand,
you
know
people's
feelings,
but,
mr
president,
pro
temp,
you
know
if
you're
gonna
put
it
forward
for
a
vote.
Let's
continue.
A
I
will,
and
so
with
that
I'll
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
get
us
into
our
meeting.
Thank.
P
N
G
G
G
B
A
P
Thank
you,
madam
clerk,
can
I
can
now
you
put
up
the
flag,
so
we'll
say
our
pledge
allegiance
and
right
after
that,
we'll
have
a
moment
of
silence.
P
P
P
And
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
item
on
our
gender
public
comment
period.
For
all
those
public
comments,
you
can
talk
about
anything
you
like
for
five
minutes,
we'll
ask
that
you
present
your
name,
your
address
for
the
record
at
this
time,
common
council
members
cannot
answer
any
of
your
questions.
P
What
you
comment
on
and
if
they
choose
to
do
so,
they
will
answer
or
respond
to
your
questions
or
comments
at
a
later
time
in
tonight's
agenda.
If
they
choose
to
do
that
so
with
that
being
said,
madam
clerk,
can
you
can
you
call
the
first
speaker.
L
Q
Q
My
comments
refer
only
to
a
vision
statement,
so
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear,
because
this,
this
month,
the
common
council,
public
safety
committee
hosted
two
public
comment
periods
concerning
this
reinvention
collaborative
draft
and
one
of
the
common
themes
reflected
in
those
comments
from
community
groups
such
as
the
center,
the
naacp
and
the
capitol
area,
council,
churches
and
also
by
common
council
members,
is
that
the
lack
of
a
clear
vision,
statement
for
albany
policing,
the
president
of
the
comma
council,
has
reached
out
to
the
center
for
law
and
justice
and
asked
us
to
assist
in
articulating
that
vision
statement.
Q
We
happily
note
that,
while
the
administration's
suggested
plan,
which
we
really
don't
call
a
plan,
does
not
articulate
a
vision
statement,
key
elements
of
a
vision
statement
appear
in
the
collaborative's
working
groups
report.
The
documents
submitted
by
the
administration
is
in
two
parts.
The
first
part
contains
what
the
administration
calls
action
items
and
those
collect
collaborative
recommendations
the
administration
intends
to
pursue.
Q
The
working
group
reports
reveal
that
collaborative
members
took
to
heart
the
executive
orders,
mandate,
that
municipalities,
reinvent
policing,
requiring
transformative
change
and
how
public
safety
is
provided
in
albany
transformative
change
means
that
the
new
envisioned
system
of
public
safety
is
likely
to
look
quite
different
than
the
current
structure.
Working
group
comments
in
the
document
reflect
this
transformative
change.
Q
Both
the
police
department
functions,
the
working
group
and
the
civilian
oversight
working
groups
suggests
that
reinvented
policing
in
albany
should
include
a
civilian
public
safety
commission
that
is
independent
from
the
apd,
but
has
teeth
and
sufficient
staff
to
allow
them
to
do
meaningful
work.
The
functions
group
states
quote
the
involvement
of
armed
officers
and
public
health
issues,
coupled
with
the
systemic
racism
in
our
society,
has
led
to
grave
distrust
between
the
police
department
and
the
community.
They
are
responsible
for
serving
the
police
functions.
Q
Working
group
has
studied
those
areas
in
which
qualified
civilians,
existing
agencies
and
or
trained
professionals
can
more
appropriately
respond
and
replace
members
of
the
police
department.
Our
policy
recommendations
speak
to
the
scope
of
services
needed
by
our
community
and
identify
those
agencies
and
service
providers
that
could
limit
the
footprint
of
the
albany
police
department.
While
furthering
that
vision,
the
civilian
oversight
group
states
the
goal
of
the
collaborative.
Q
As
we
understand
it,
is
to
reform
and
reinvent
policing
in
albany
in
a
way
that
will
earn
the
trust
of
the
community
community
trust
must
be
the
test
for
all
proposals:
the
third
working
group,
the
policy
standard
operating
procedures
and
general
orders.
This
stresses
the
need
for
the
reinvented
policing
system
to
quote
eliminate
racial
disparities
and
outcomes
resulting
from
police
civilian
interactions
and
quote
to
transform
police
culture
from
the
warrior
mentality
to
a
guardian
mentality,
a
fourth
group,
community
safety
and
restorative
justice
states.
Q
Q
Oh
my
gosh
in
drafting
a
vision
statement.
The
center
was
guided
by
the
executive
order,
the
new
york
university,
school
laws,
policing
project
but,
most
importantly,
the
words
of
the
members
of
the
city,
policing,
reform
and
reinvention
collaborative,
but
the
center
is
honored
to
be
asked
by
the
common
council
president
to
serve
in
this
role
and
our
work
in
reimagining
policing
in
albany
began
well
before
executive
order.
203
was
issued
in
2020,
although
the
center
was
not
invited
to
participate
in
albany's
collaborative
to
reinvent
policing.
Q
We
have
supported
the
collaborator's
work
in
many
ways.
In
addition
to
providing
information
to
the
research
group
that
produced
the
racial
bias
audit
of
the
albany
police
department.
In
november,
the
center
sent
each
collaborative
working
group
share
a
detailed
letter
with
materials
relevant
to
their
particular
group,
and
we
invited
them
to
contact
us
if
we
could
be
a
further
assistance.
When
the
group
produced
their
draft
reports.
In
january,
we
sent
each
chair
a
detailed
letter
offering
our
feedback.
Q
P
Through
all
the
other,
thank
you,
dr
green.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
dr
green.
Your
time
is
up.
Thank
you
for
that,
madam
clerk,
can
you
call
the
next
speaker.
H
Have
lauren
manning
who
indicated
that
she
would
like
the
credentials
for
tonight
if
she's
with
us.
P
H
D
Thank
you.
My
name
is
joanne
sternheimer
and
I
live
at
41
south
pine
avenue
in
albany
I'm
here
tonight,
because
I
understand
that
the
council
is
reviewing
the
usdo
and
proposing
amendments
to
it.
So
I
thought
I
would
share
my
experience
as
a
local
homeowner
trying
to
fix
my
rotted
front.
Porch
are
way
too
many
details
to
share
with
you
in
five
minutes,
but
I'll
give
you
some
of
the
highlights.
D
We
started
out
in
a
100
year
old,
two
family
house,
at
75,
south
pine,
and
when
the
opportunity
came
to
purchase
a
more
than
100
year
old,
single-family
house
at
41,
south
pine,
we
took
the
challenge
we
knew
we
would
have
to
fix
many
elements
of
the
house
but
including
the
front
porch
eventually,
but
that
day
came
sooner
than
we
expected
due
to
extensive
rock,
we
submitted
a
permit
application
which
kept
all
of
the
basic
elements
of
the
porch
the
same
we're
repairing
the
existing
railings
and
banisters
replicating
the
skirting
using
the
top
half
of
the
columns
that
are
not
rotted,
including
the
capitals.
D
The
new
porch
will
be
in
the
same
footprint
as
the
old
porch.
The
roof
pitch
is
the
same.
The
only
thing
that
we
propose
to
change
is
moving
the
stairs
to
their
historical
location,
which
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
problem
and
changing
the
currently
pressure
treated
wood
and
untreated,
but
painted
wood
supporting
columns,
column
bases
to
masonry
faced
with
blue
stone.
D
D
In
the
rejection
letter,
the
department
of
building
and
development
cited
those
sections
of
the
code,
but
provided
no
other
explanation.
A
friend
of
mine
spoke
to
a
contact
at
the
department
of
building
and
develop
building
and
development.
Who
said
that
under
the
usdo,
the
entire
city
is
effectively
an
historic
overlay
district.
D
D
The
proposed
design
is
used
on
another
house
on
our
block
and
on
multiple
houses
on
our
street,
including
our
old
house,
that
we
lived
at
at
75
south
pine,
just
one
block
away.
D
D
What's
more,
the
materials
that
we
chose
is
locally
sourced
bluestone
and
we
chose
that
because
our
house
is
the
entire
length
of
the
property
is
flanked
by
stone
walls,
blue
stone
walls
on
each
side
of
the
property.
D
So
far,
we've
had
two
working
meetings
of
the
bza,
and
it's
it's
clear
to
me
from
these
meetings
that
the
chair
shares
the
department's
interpretation
of
the
usdo
to
mean
that
every
single
element
of
a
porch,
including
the
materials,
must
remain
exactly
the
same
as
it
was
before.
D
Additionally,
the
chair
pointed
out
that
saying
that
the
materials
we're
using
will
last
100
years
when
what's
there
will
only
last
for
20
years,
is
not
a
reason
to
for
a
variance
for
those
of
us
who
hope
to
make
albany
are
forever
home.
D
P
P
H
Atleast
as
such,
as
you
are
aware,
the
office
of
audit
and
control
initiated
the
albany
police
department,
racial
bias,
audit
in
july
of
2020..
The
purpose
of
the
audit
was
to
examine
apd's
internal
operations,
policies
and
procedures
to
detect
the
presence
of
implicit
bias
and
systematic
racial
bias.
The
audit
yielded
61
findings
and
accompanying
recommendations.
H
Some
of
these
recommendations
were
included
in
the
albany
policing,
reform
and
reinvention
reinvention
collaborative
report
that
is
currently
being
reviewed
and
considered
by
the
council,
as
the
council
continues
its
important
work
of
considering
police
reform
legislation.
I
am
submitting
the
recommendations
highlighted
in
this
letter
on
behalf
of
the
office
of
audit
and
control
for
consideration
as
well.
The
audit
concluded
that
racial
disparities
are
present
in
outcomes
such
as
traffic
stops
ending
in
arrests,
arrests
in
general
and
promotions
within
apd,
based
on
cna's
interview
with
community
members
and
leaders.
H
These
outcomes
were
of
most
concern
high
priority
and
reoccurring.
As
such,
the
recommendations
being
proposed
for
consideration
were
adapted
from
the
from
the
audit
report
and
seek
to
directly
address
these
racial
disparities.
Please
find
them
below,
along
with
the
corresponding
findings.
Finding
one
apd
does
not
collect
race
data
for
all
traffic
stops
and
does
not
include
variables
beyond
date.
Time
address
age,
sex
and
sometimes
race
in
their
traffic.
Stop
databases
apd's
current
traffic.
Stop
data
is
broken
out
into
three
systems
which
vary
by
what
variables
are
collected.
H
In
addition,
apd
does
not
collect
much
information
about
traffic
stop
characteristics
which
can
provide
a
clear
understanding
of
disparity
in
traffic.
Stop
activity,
for
example,
if
the
reason
for
a
stop
is
documented,
apd
can
break
out
stops
by
race,
based
on
stop
reason
allowing
them
to
identify
whether
members
of
ethnic
or
racial
minority
groups
are
more
frequently
stopped
for
certain
violations.
H
The
inclusion
of
geographical
data
in
the
form
of
latitude
and
longitude
for
addresses
facilitates
analysis
of
where
traffic
stops
are
taking
place
and
can
reveal
whether
primarily
minority
neighborhoods
are
experiencing
higher
volumes
of
stops.
Finally,
documenting
search
decisions
can
help
agencies
understand
whether
disparities
by
race
are
present
in
these
decisions,
which
can
undermine
cons,
constitutional
policing,
recommendation
apd
must
revise
their
traffic,
stop
data
collection
protocols
to
achieve
the
following
objectives:.
H
Consolidate
all
traffic
stops
into
a
single
data
system,
collect
driver
race
data
for
all
traffic
stops,
as
it
is
collective
for
stops,
ending
in
warnings
and
arrests,

The
type

arrest,
search
under
plane
view,
doctrine,
inventory,
search
during

and
whether
a
seizure
resulted
from
the
search
finding
two
community
members
have
concerns
about
disparate
arrests,
for
quality
of
life
issues
and
resisting
arrest
charges.
Although
the
data
provided
by
apd
does
not
allow
the
audit
team
to
conclude
whether
there
are
disparate,
disparate
arrests
for
quality
of
life
issues
in
white
communities
versus
minority
communities,
we
determine
through
our
interviews
that
this
is
a
common
concern
in
the
community.
H
Quality
of
life
concerns
should
be
treated
equally
across
all
neighborhoods
in
the
city,
and
the
department
should
take
action
to
ensure
that
quality
of
life
changes
are
not
being
levied
disproportionately
in
minority
neighborhoods
or
against
members
of
racial
or
ethnic
minority
groups.
During
the
audit
team's
interviews
with
community
members,
one
recurring
theme
was
concerned
about
apd's
used
use
of
resisting
arrest
allegations
specifically
community
members
expressed
concerns
that
these
charges
were
made
during
incidents
in
which
no
arrest
was
taking
place
and
they
expressed
confusion
about
how
such
a
charge
could
apply.
H
If
not
during
the
course
of
an
arrest
community
members
were
concerned
that
this
charge
is
being
used
to
target
minority
community
members
during
an
applicable
incident.
In
the
audit
team's
analysis
of
reasons
for
arrests,
we
were
able
to
verify
that
black
community
members
are
represented
disproportionately
in
arrests
for
resisting
arrest
compared
with
overall
arrests.
We
cannot
state
with
certainty
that
this
this
prepare.
This
disparity
is
entirely
due
to
bias,
but
is
suggestive
and
warrants
further
investigation.
H
Finding
three
apd
does
not
currently
track
data
on
promotion
applications
or
applicants
and
promotion
decisions
in
a
formal
system
or
database
apd,
clearly
delineates
the
promotion
process
in
general
order,
2.3.10
promotional
process,
including
a
description
of
procedures
for
job
postings,
civil
service
examinations,
applications
and
criteria
for
selection
of
personnel.
The
process
and
procedures
are
described
in
detail
at
each
stage
of
the
application
process.
However,
apd
does
not
currently
record
data
on
applications
and
applicants
for
open
positions
and
promotion
outcomes.
H
Therefore,
the
audit
team
was
not
able
to
conduct
analysis
of
promotions
to
investigate
the
possibility
of
racial,
ethnic
or
gender-based
disparities
and
promotional
decisions.
Recommendations,
apd
must
establish
a
system
to
collect
and
retain
data
about
the
promotional
process,
including
applicants,
applicants,
demographic
information,
relevant
data
considered
for
promotion
decisions,
examples,
civil
service,
exam
results
and
outcomes.
H
Excuse
me
recommendations.
Apd,
must
analyze
promotion
data
annually
to
identify
racial,
ethnic
or
gender-based
disparities
in
the
promotion
process.
This
analysis
must
be
sent
to
the
albany
common
council
and
community
police
review
board
in
the
form
of
a
report
annually.
If
such
disparities
exist,
apd
should
investigate
the
root
causes
and,
if
possible,
implement
programs
to
ameliorate
those
disparities.
H
In
the
coming
months,
I
plan
to
follow
up
with
chief
hawkins
and
mayor
shan
to
request
a
plan
to
operationalize
the
recommendations
proposed
in
the
racial
bias
audit
that
were
excluded
from
the
collaboratives
report.
While
I
agree
that
these
changes
to
the
general
orders
are
a
huge
step
in
reforming
our
police
department,
legislating
these
recommendations,
ensures
sustainability
and
elevates
these
racial
disparities
and
the
elimination
of
them
as
a
top
priority.
I
welcome
the
opportunity
to
address
the
public
safety
committee
and
full
council
to
further
discuss
this
request
and
to
answer
any
questions.
A
M
P
I
see
some
hands
raised.
Motion
passes
moving
on
to
considerations
of
local
laws,
mr
anani.
A
P
P
You
we're
moving
on
to
the
agenda
reports
of
any
standing
committee
reports.
I
know
we
had
a
few
when
miss
farrell
like
to
go
miss
pharaoh.
J
I
thought
you'd
never
ask.
I
would
love
to
go.
The
finance
committee
made
it.
The
finance
committee
met
on
march
4th
and
we
discussed.
We
had
an
update
from
our
treasurer
and
the
budget
director
on
city
finance
in
the
process
that
they
go
that
they're
going
through.
We
passed,
we
discussed
ordinance
number
44.122.20,
which
authorizes
the
which
authorizes
the
closing
of
scots
scott
street,
which
passed
through
with
amendment
and
that
amendment
we're
actually
going
to
be
looking
through.
J
J
Again
that
was
passed
through
the
committee
with
a
positive
recommendation
with
amendment
and
we'll
be
reviewing
the
amendments
and
before
they
come
to
the
full
council
resolution
number
13.21.21,
which
is
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
which
is
the
resolution
to
eliminate
one
full-time
position
and
create
another
full-time
position
which
slightly
increases
the
salary
that
is
was
discussed
to
support
our
hr
department
and
the
chief
diversity
officer,
and
that
was
passed
out
with
a
unanimous,
positive
recommendation.
E
I
do
thank
you
very
much,
mr
president,
so
the
housing
and
community
development
committee
met
last
week
for
miss
andrews
to
go
over
attentively
the
award
the
the
budget
for
the
year
47
allocation
of
community
development
block
grants.
It
was
a
very
informative
meeting.
E
She's
advised
us
that
she
had
not
yet
sent
out
the
proposed
award
letters
to
applicants.
She
will
be
sending
those
out
shortly
and
we'll
be
letting
sharing
that
with
the
council
when
she
does.
There
is
a
hearing
scheduled
a
joint
hearing
scheduled
with
the
agency
and
the
common
council,
housing
and
community
development
committee.
E
For
anybody
who
wishes
to
appeal
the
tentative
award
notifications,
including
any
declinations
of
funding
or
reductions
in
in
funding
that
there
might
be.
We
expect,
then,
to
be
making
a
final
action
on
recommendations
for
year
47
and
author
and
passionate
committee.
The
resolution
authorizing
the
mayor
to
execute
the
documents.
E
If
there
are
any
issues
with
that,
we
have
tentatively
scheduled
another
meeting
for
april
15th
to
finalize
our
work
for
the
year.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you.
The
general
services
committee
will
be
meeting
on
the
18th
of
march
to
consider
three
items.
The
first
one
is
an
after-action
on
a
resolution
that
we
passed
a
few
weeks
ago
regarding
pedestrian
safety
and
mobility
by
improving
snow
and
ice
removal
from
city
sidewalks,
street
crossings
and
bus
stop.
Djs
is
going
to
report
on
some
of
the
measures
they
plan
on
taking
to
accomplish
that
item,
which
we
which,
as
I
said,
we
had
already
passed
last
month.
G
Next
item
is
ordinance
number
4.31.21
in
relation
it's
a
presentation
by
the
albany
water
department
in
relation
to
lead
pipes,
and
the
final
item
is
resolution,
27
3121,
a
resolution,
the
common
council
honoring
the
life
and
legacy
of
warren
mackey
and
renaming
a
portion
of
livingston
avenue
in
his
honor.
So
that's
march
18th.
F
Thank
you.
Mr
president,
the
planning
committee
met
on
march
3rd
regarding
the
reappointment
of
jeffrey
sperry
to
the
albany
parking
authority
that
was
passed
out
with
positive
recommendation,
and
we
also
received
an
update
on
the
unified
sustainable
development
ordinance
from
the
planning
department.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr
president,
the
public
safety
media
committee
met
on
march,
2nd
and
march
8th
to
discuss
the
police
reform
collaboration
and
work
on
resolution,
26,
31
21
and
came
up
with
what
we'll
be
offering
tonight,
as
amended
for
passage
for
that
and
then
also
on
march
24th.
The
public

e
by
mr

and
four-wheelers
that'll
be

P
P
Problem,
I
just
want
to
check.
Thank
you
continue
on
considerations
of
ordinances
when
ordinances
is
introduced,
miss
fahey.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
president,
I
noticed
ordinance,
5,
32
21
and
asked
for
its
introduction.
H
H
P
A
L
H
L
L
Rebel
stovall,
has
dedicated
his
life
and
his
ministry
to
serving
not
only
the
physical
but
the
spiritual
needs
of
the
people
of
the
city.
Reverend
stovall
has
mentored
many
young
people
and
many
of
them
look
to
him
as
a
father
figure.
L
Reverend
stovall
I've
known
him
to
be
an
advocate
on
many
community
issues,
and
he
is
often
sought
after
for
his
gentle
wisdom
and
insight
on
a
variety
of
subjects.
So
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilwoman
joyce
love
and
all
of
my
colleagues
here
on
the
council
for
agreeing
to
co-sponsor
this
revolution
resolution
to
honor
reverend
snowball.
P
E
P
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
it's
with
great
sadness
and
a
great
deal
of
pleasure
that
I'm
introducing
this
resolution
to
honor
miss
wallace,
my
oldest
son,
had
her
first
grade
teacher
and
she
could
not
have
shown
us
or
our
son
anymore,
love
and
kindness
and
patience,
while
also
figuring
out
how
to
teach
them
to
read
and
write
and
do
basic
math.
E
Children
walk
into
first
grade,
most
of
them
not
knowing
how
to
read
and
write
and
do
basic,
math
and
they're
expected
to
know
how
to
do
all
those
things
as
they
walk
out
of
first
grade
and
miss
wallace
was
a
master
at
doing
that,
while
showing
little
five
and
six-year-old
kids
all
the
love
that
they
need
to
have
the
confidence
to
know
that
they
can
really
do
this
and
that
they're
going
to
be
supported
in
it.
E
I
could
go
on
with
many
little
vignettes
of
how
my
son
created
challenges
for
ms
wallace
and
she
rose
to
them
all
she
taught
at
school
19
for
28
years.
E
She
was
a
very
beloved
teacher
and
and
before
that
she
had
worked
at
st
catharines
for
ten
years,
also
taking
care
of
our
young
children
and
showing
them
love.
E
I
noticed
for
garland
funeral
homes
on
the
on
the
tribute
wall
for
her
two
comments
that
really,
I
think,
speak
for
us
all.
One
of
her
former
students
said
she
always
showed
us
all.
E
She
showed
all
of
us
love
her
patience
and
love
for
children
lives
on
through
those
who
were
lucky
enough
to
have
had
her
as
a
teacher
and
another
person
who
was
not
a
a
student
of
hers
but
who
visited
her
often
after
school
said.
E
She
taught
us
mostly
how
it
should
feel
to
be
loved
in
this
world,
for
that
she
will
be
greatly
missed
and
never
will
her
memory
be
forgotten
by
all
those
that
loved
and
adored
her,
in
addition
to
teaching
at
school,
19
and
just
being
an
institution
there
for
so
many
years
that
other
teachers
relied
on
for
her
wisdom.
E
She
also
was
a
sunday
school
teacher
and
sang
in
the
choir
at
metropolitan
new
testament
mission
baptist
church
and
she
also
did
ministry
for
feeding
the
hungry,
visiting
the
aged
and
the
sick
and
the
shut-in.
I
do
want
to
note
she
was
also
a
ninth
ward
resident.
E
We
have
great
residents
in
the
ninth
ward
and
I
would
have
honored
her
during
african-american
history
month
at
one
point
if
it
wasn't
for
the
fact
that,
as
she
was
in
early
selection
of
mr
sano,
for
that
event,
she
also
was
recognized
in
who's
who,
among
american
teachers
as
one
of
the
best
teachers
in
america,
1998
2000
2004
through
2005
and
2005
through
2006,
and
she
received
many
other
awards
that
are
well
deserved.
E
And
it's
my
pleasure
to
ask
for
the
passage
of
this
resolution.
Honoring
her
life
and
legacy
on
behalf
of
the
residents
of
the
ninth
ward,
who
knew
her.
The
children
were
lucky
enough
to
have
her
as
a
teacher
and
all
the
residents
in
the
city
of
albany
that
benefited
from
her
wisdom.
I
want
to
make
one
final
comment
when
I
read
that
comment
from
this
person
about
she
taught
us
mostly
how
it
should
be
felt
to
be
loved
in
this
world.
F
Thank
you,
mr
president.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
co-sponsor
this
resolution.
F
My
children
did
not
have
miss
wallace,
but
she
was
certainly
well
known,
and
I
have
very
fond
memories
of
parents
who
had
kindergartners
and
would
stand
around
and
think
about
the
challenges
of
first
grade,
and
we
talk
about
the
you
know:
the
children
who
may
have
a
little
more
difficulty
and
and
need
that
really
extra
special
touch
that
kindness
that
extra
you
know
ability
to
make
children
feel
confident,
and
you
know
we
would
say,
oh
that
child
really
and
we
hope
that
child
gets
miss
wallace,
because
she
truly
did
was
a
standout
in
terms
of
how
she
treated
children
in
such
a
kind
and
loving
manner
and
still
managing
to
teach
them.
F
You
know
the
very
difficult
jump
that
they
have
to
make
to
learn
to
read
and
write,
so
she
will
truly
be
missed
in
our
communities
so
fortunate
to
have
someone
like
that
as
a
resident.
Thank
you.
B
First
of
all
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
sponsor
because,
as
I've
stated
at
caucus,
mrs
wallace
is
a
family
member
and
also
I
went
to
school
19.
My
brother
had
her
as
a
teacher,
and
I
just
speak
from
our
family.
That
was
my
brother's
best
year
as
a
a
student
in
public
school,
and
you
know
as
a
as
an
educator.
B
I
understand
the
accomplishment
for
her
to
be
able
to
work
in
one
building
for
26
years,
and
you
know
I
I
would
have
to
wonder
how
easy
that
was
for
her
under
the
conditions
that
she
had
to
work
being
the
only
brown
teacher
in
the
building
for
a
long
time-
and
you
know
she
also
worked
with
the
academically
talented
group,
which
was
you
know,
a
special
group
of
kids
to
work
with.
So
I
just
was
saddened.
B
When
I
learned
of
her
passive,
I
wasn't
able
to
attend
the
service
and
I
just
feel
like
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
be
able
to
represent
and
speak
up
on
her
behalf
and
one
of
the
things
that
there's
many
nice
things
said
about
her,
but
she
was
one
of
the
most
humble
people
that
I
ever
came
in
contact
with,
because
you
know
everyone
has
something
good
to
say
about
her,
because
she
was
just
that
type
of
person
and
she
never
really
really
relied
off
of
that.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
you
know
I
will
try
to
continue
the
great
work
that
she
has
done
as
an
educator
and
the
other
work
that
she
was
doing
in
the
community
and
just
supporting
the
community
in
the
manner
that
she
did.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
again
and
rest
in
power.
Miss
wallace.
Thank
you.
L
President,
yes
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
miss
wallace
was
my
first
sunday
school
teacher
and
I
served
alongside
her
on
many
ministry
opportunities
at
metropolitan,
one
of
them
being
a
part
of
the
home
mission
ministry,
where
we
would
go
out
on
the
weekends
and
visit
those
who
were
in
hospitals
and
in
nursing
homes,
and
she
was
a
very
beloved
member
of
metropolitan
and
some
time
ago
I
heard
a
quote
that
said:
without
teachers,
life
would
have
no
class,
and
this
quote
is
this
quote:
epitomizes
the
impact
that
miss
wallace,
dignus
wallace
has
had
on
the
lives
of
many
people
who
was
entrusted
to
her
teaching.
L
So
thank
you,
councilwoman
doshay,
for
putting
this
resolution
together
to
honor
her
legacy.
P
O
R
R
Thank
you,
mr
president.
We
unfortunately
lost
steve
winters
earlier
this
earlier
this
year
and
wanted
to
bring
this
forward
to
honor
his
legacy.
Steve
was
truly
a
community
man
and
a
community
activist
he
dedicated
his
professional
life
and
also
his
personal
time
to
really
being
a
voice
for
the
neighborhood.
O
R
Also
involved
in
the
south
and
the
south
end
improvement
corporation
and
he
volunteered
in
many
other
community
groups,
including
the
southern
neighborhood
association.
Second,
half
neighborhood
association,
honest,
honest
weight,
food
co-op
as
well
as
the
league
of
women
voters.
On
a
personal
note,
I
had.
R
Of
getting
to
know
steve
as
part
of
the
first
war
democrats-
and
I
will
say
every
single
interaction
with
him
was
a
great
memory
for
me.
He
would
always
say
something
to
make
us
laugh,
make
us
smile,
and
he
would
always
take
time,
no
matter
what
the
event
was
to
really
spend
five.
Ten
minutes
with
me
talking
about
specific
improvements.
He
would
like
to
see
to
the
first
word,
so
it's
a
true
testament
to
his
character.
He
always
put
everyone
above
himself
and
he
will
be
greatly
missed,
not
only
in
the
first.
L
I
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
don't
I
I've
known.
I
knew
steve
I
longer
than
I
can
remember
and
I'll
tell
you
the
last
time
I
saw
him
actually
was
an
event
for
miss
frederick.
I
I
guess
it
was
late
last
year,
and
so
it
was
kind
of
shocked
to
to
see
and
learn
of
his
passing,
but
anyone
who
was
involved
in
neighborhood
community
or
even
the
the
political
reform
efforts
of
those
early
days
when
I
first
got
involved,
had
a
chance
to
know
steve
because
he
was
involved
in
so
many
different
ways,
and
so
many
different
ventures
and
efforts
to
really
improve
the
city
for
those
in
need
vulnerable
populations
to
make
it
more
transparent
to
reform
the
political
process
and,
to
you
know,
deal
with
equality
and
equal
justice,
including
for
the
lgbt
community.
I
So
he
leaves
behind
a
really
rich
legacy
of
involvement
of
caring
of
kindness.
Of
I
don't
know,
friendship,
all
the
good
words
you
can
really
think
of.
I
can
you
know
you
can
say
encapsulate
what
steve
was
all
about
and
how
he
genuinely
cared
and
was
part
of
the
community
and
wanted
to
make
things
better.
His
passing
is
a
loss
for
all
of
us.
I
It's
you
know
a
loss
for
the
city,
you
know
a
voice
that
was
really
really
important
and
not
loud,
but
quiet
and
involved
and
made
a
difference.
So
I'm
very
sad
was
very
sad
to
hear
of
his
passing
and
really
do
extend
condolences,
and
I
appreciate
this
resolution
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr.
F
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
councilmember,
conte
and
councilmember
frederick
said
steve
steve
winters,
what
a
wonderful,
wonderful
person
he
was
and
and
we're
so
sorry
that
he
has
passed.
I
think
all
of
us
here
we
know
when
you
think
of
our
awards.
F
We
represent,
there's
always
those
individuals
who,
just
you
know,
they're
involved
they
they
and
they
truly
stand
out
and
they
care
and
and
and
you
you,
as
a
council
member,
you
have
many
conversations
with
them
about
all
the
issues
that
here
in
our
city
and
even
though
steve
was
not
in
my
word,
he
was
in
councilmember
frederick's.
F
P
I
don't
know
if
everyone
was
co-sponsored
so
we'll
do
a
voice.
Vote
roll
call
vote
on
this
miss.
Madam
clerk,
can
you
please
call
the
roll.
H
H
O
H
P
Resolution
passes
continue,
resolutions
held
miss
farrell.
J
Thank
you,
mr
president,
I
noticed
resolution
13.2
r
and
ask
for
its
passage.
H
G
G
G
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Just
an
observation.
You
know
the
parking
authority
is
a
state-created
public
authority.
Public
authorities
are
really
quite
powerful
in
terms
of
their
ability
to
make
policy
the
resources
they
have
and
they
don't
have
the
same
level
of
public
accountability,
as
other
branches
of
government
might
have.
The
council
itself
has
no
direct
oversight
in
a
sense
of
how
the
parking
authority
or
other
public
authorities
operate.
The
only
you
know
way.
I
We
have
some
oversight
is
through
the
confirmation
process,
but
and
we've
we've
delegated
a
lot
of
responsibilities
indirectly
to
the
parking
authority
over
the
years,
including
enforcement
of
parking
violations
and
the
whole.
I
You
know
public
safety
office,
public
safety
officer
process,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
just
again
to
note
the
confirmation
process,
which
is
the
only
real
you
know,
ability
we
have
to
have
some
oversight
and
how
important
it
is
again
that
we
get
these
confirmations
or
appointments
on
a
timely
basis,
so
that
we
can
exercise
that
oversight.
I
I
I
think
mr
sperry
is
a
good
good
representative,
I'm
happy
to
vote
for
his
confirmation,
but
those
are
things
that
you
really
need
to
be
cognizant
of
when
you
deal
with
some
of
these
confirmations,
especially
for
public
authorities,
where
there's
very
limited
oversight
that
the
council
has
yet
it
has
a
huge
impact
on
the
city
of
albany
policy
and
how
things
are
developed,
and
you
know
we,
as
the
local
legislative
body
in
effect,
are
cut
out
so
really
again
pay
attention
to
these
confirmations
and
the
importance
they
have
as
a
you
know,
a
way
that
you
have
oversight
over
some
of
these
bodies.
P
Thank
you,
mr
conte.
Any
further
discussions
seeing
no
hands
clerk
restart.
B
H
A
I
A
Thank
you.
Mr
president,
I
request
intro
and
passage
of
resolution
26
31
21r
thank.
H
A
Yeah,
mr
kimbrough,
yes,
so
I
just
this
is
the
culmination
of
of
that
police
collaborative
process
but
the
beginning
of
our
work
to
to
reform
and
reimagine
the
police
here
in
in
the
city.
So
I
I
you
know,
I
don't
agree
with
everything.
That's
in
that.
I
think
it
falls
short
in
some
ways,
but
I'm
willing
to
move
forward
with
the
understanding
that
this
is
the
beginning
of
this
process,
and
I
hope
my
other
my
council
colleagues
will
see
it
as
the
same
and
support
it.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mr
president.
First
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
members
of
the
collaborative
for
all
their
hard
work
and
excellent
recommendations
contained
in
the
the
second
part
of
the
report.
E
The
executive
order
requires
us
to
adopt,
and
rather
will,
ratify
or
adopt
a
plan
for
reforming
police,
reinforcing
and
and
and
reinventing
police.
E
At
least
three
members-
and
I
think
many
more
have
agreed
that
this.
What
we
have
been
presented
with
in
the
way
of
this
report
is
not
a
plan
that
has
been
stated
in
public
meetings
repeatedly
by
common
council
members,
including
the
sponsor,
has
said
it's
not
a
plan,
but
we're
supposed
to
be
adopting
a
plan
pursuant
to
executive
order.
E
E
I
also
want
to
remind
members-
I
have
great
frustration
about
this,
but
the
administration
frankly
has
felt
very
comfortable,
ignoring
resolutions,
the
contents
of
resolutions
that
we
have
passed
over
the
years.
This
has
been
equated.
Our
resolution
now
with
these
caveats
in
it,
has
been
equated
to
our
budget
intent
resolution.
E
Our
budget
intent
resolution
for
the
last
three
years
included
comments
regarding
the
need
for
an
actual
capital
plan
not
only
is
required
by
a
resolution
but
required
by
our
city
charter,
and
it
took
three
years
before
that
actually
wound
up
being
part
of
the
budget.
E
It
took
us
entry
us
commenting
on
it
and
commenting
on
it
and
commenting
on
it
until
the
administration
had
no
choice
but
to
listen
to
us.
Our
budget
intent
resolution
every
year
since
I
have
been
on
the
council
says
oh
and
this
is
now
required
to
be
published
as
part
of
the
adopted
budget,
and
it
never
has.
The
administration
feels
free
to
completely
ignore
the
contents
of
our
resolutions.
E
E
E
But
in
reality,
when
it
comes
to
this
executive
summary,
where
they've
assigned
time
frames
for
implementation,
they've
left
out
massive
quantities
of
the
recommendations.
E
The
question
has
been
legitimately
asked
whether
those
were
rejected.
The
administration
is
never
put
in
writing
further
justification
for
why
they
have
made
those
adjustments
and
what
their
intent
is.
With
regard
to
that-
and
I
have
great
concerns
about
that-
that's
part
of
the
hard
work
of
this
collaborative
is
those
recommendations
that
were
dropped
and
we
know
about
those
recommendations
being
dropped
in
at
least
three
of
the
chapters,
because
people
have
looked
at
those
chapters
have
brought
that
to
our
attention.
E
E
In
any
case,
the
report
alice
greene
has
commented
about
how
it
doesn't
have
a
vision
and
guiding
principles,
and
that
is
part
of
my
frustration
is
that
should
have
been
core
to
what
this
report
is
about.
E
It's
something
that
we
owe
to
members
of
the
collaborative
to
put
in
writing
it's
something
we
owe
to
the
public,
and
I
want
to
say
most
importantly,
we
owe
it
to
the
police
as
they
move
forward
with.
Looking
at
this
report,
I
don't
know
what
a
police
officer
makes
about
all
of
these
different
ideas
and
recommendations
that
have
been
put
in
this
report.
There's
no
cohesive,
bringing
together
of
the
report
with
regard
to
a
vision,
it
appears
as
though
the
governor's
office
guidance
document
that
was
published
in
august
of
2020
was
not
considered
not
regarded.
E
There's
also,
finally,
the
issue
of
the
fact
that
there
isn't
any
assignment
of
specific
responsibility
for
implementation
of
any
parts
of
this
report.
Timelines
have
been
assigned,
which
I've
noted,
I
think,
are
excessive
with
the
soonest
time
frame
for
which
any
deliverable
is
due
as
a
hardcore
under
the
executive.
Summary
is
12
months
from
now.
E
And
and
there's
no
there's,
there's
no
clear
path
forward
for
who
is
accepting
responsibility.
How
we're
going
to
accomplish
things.
We
note
that
there
are
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed
on
the
state
level
with
regard
to
changes
in
legislation,
and
I
really
hope
that
somebody
on
the
public
safety
committee,
working
with
the
administration,
puts
together
a
resolution
that
actually
spells
out.
What
is
it
that
we
want
the
new
york
state
legislature
to
do
in
order
to
help
facilitate
addressing
all
the
issues
and
the
recommendations
that
are
contained
in
this
report?
E
So
I
think
it's
appropriate
based
upon
all
those
problems
with
it,
based
upon
the
fact
that
our
resolution
doesn't
really
provide
is
of
is
of
no,
as
they
say
in
law,
schools
of
no
moment,
and
I
think
it
really
should
be
sent
back
to
the
administration
to
ask
them
to
finish
the
job.
E
To
finish
the
job
of
turning
this
report
and
the
recommendations
of
the
collaborative
into
an
actual
plan
for
implementation,
with
accountability
and
then
have
them,
bring
it
back
to
us
in
a
couple
weeks
and
we
can
pass
it
on
march
31st.
So
I
will
be
voting
against
this
because
I
think
that
that
is
the
appropriate
course
of
action.
Thank
you.
N
N
N
This
is
one
of
the
most
detailed,
comprehensive
and
actionable
plan
of
any
city
in
our
area,
if
not
the
state.
That
is
a
fact,
and
I
know
that
as
the
capital
of
new
york,
we
have
to
set
the
bar
high,
but
I
want
to
repeat
this
again:
this
is
the
most
comprehensive
and
actionable
plan
of
any
city
in
our
area.
If
not
the
state,
it
has
recommendations,
it
has
actions
to
achieve
them
and
it
has
time
frames.
N
N
I
know
there
are
some
people
that
would
like
to
see
you
know,
recommendations
from
the
executive
chamber,
but
let's
be
clear,
this
collaborative
was
led
by
community
members.
It
was
led
by
council
members
also-
and
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
collaborative
you
know,
jamel
robinson
many
hours
of
talking
about.
N
What's
going
on
with
the
meetings
12
hour
days
talking
some
of
the
recommendations
and
reforms,
you
know
kelly
kimbrough
same
thing:
hours,
hours
and
hours,
working
with
our
police
department
working
with
stakeholders
listening
to
public
comment
to
come
up
with
these
reforms,
jay
farrell
same
thing.
So
again,
don't
let
the
perfect
be
the
enemy
of
the
good.
N
This
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
we
have
to
restore
some
confidence
in
a
residential
body
to
know
that
when
it
comes
to
our
police
department,
we
are
looking
to
reform
the
police
department
work
for
the
residents
of
the
city
of
albany.
If
the
residents
of
our
city
wants
the
reforms,
we're
going
to
enact
them,
and
that
is
going
to
be
the
step
taken,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
was
involved
in
coming
up
with
this
thing.
S
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
you
can.
Thank
you
first.
I
wanted
to
thank
everyone
who
worked
on
this
on
this
part,
and
that's
that's.
That's
that's
what
I
I
ordered.
It
took
a
lot
of
work.
There
was
no
question.
S
A
lot
of
work
went
into
this
94-page
document
and
we
are
very
appreciative
of
all
those
individuals
who
volunteered
their
time
to
do
that
and
we're
very
lucky
as
a
city
to
have
so
many
people
who
are
willing
to
do
that.
We're
willing
to
give
up
so
much
of
their
time
to
work
on
this
document
and
to
create
a
framework.
S
S
I
think
it's
important
that
we
acknowledge
that
you
know
there
was
a
attempt
to
get
a
lot
of
community
input
and
there
was
a
lot
of
work
and
a
lot
of
energy
put
on
that
emphasis,
but
the
numbers
of
individuals
that
attended
these
forms
were
not
were
not
great.
There
was
a
lot
of
written
documentation,
which
is
appreciative,
but
you
we've
got
to
recognize
the
concerns
with
the
documents.
S
If
we
don't
recognize
the
concerns
of
the
documents,
we
are
just
reinventing
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we
have
in
our
city,
with
trust,
with
trust
in
government
requests
and
our
police
department
and
so
forth.
So
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
recognize
that.
S
I
think
it's
also
important
for
us
to
recognize
that
you
know
we
are
far
ahead
for
many
of
the
municipalities
that
are,
you
know,
border
our
city,
we've
already
passed
reforms,
we've
already
passed
wars
that
are
addressing
some
of
these
issues,
so
we
are
far
far
ahead
than
other
municipalities
that
have
put
this
documents
their
own
documents
together.
S
But
I
do
agree
with
the
house,
woman
doj.
I
don't.
I
don't
feel
that
this
is
the
plan.
The
way
we
would
have
hoped
to
have
had
it
you
know,
but
I
do
believe
that
it
is
a
starting
point.
I
do
believe
that
it
gives
us
a
framework
to
work
with.
I
do
believe
it
puts
it
on
us
puts
it
on
us,
puts
it
on
those
individuals
that
worked
on
this
put
it
on
those
individuals.
S
I
don't
think
we've
done
that.
I
think
we've
done
more
than
what
was
required.
I
think
we've
done
more
than
what's
expected,
but
I
think
it's
up
to
us
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
this
does
not
sit
on
the
shelf,
that
this
does
not
just
collect
dust
in
somebody's
dresser.
S
I
also
want
us
to
be
fully
aware
of
the
implications
that
we're
in
we
have
a
state
that
is
still
in
difficult
financial
situations.
I
don't
want
this
to
be
an
excuse
for
them
not
to
give
us
our
fair
share.
They
already
don't
give
us
our
first
shirt.
S
Let's
be
100
honest
about
that,
but
I
don't
want
this
to
be
an
excuse
for
them
not
to
give
us
the
state
aid
that
we
desperately
need
and
desperately
deserve,
especially
when
we've
done
more,
where
we've
put
in
more
time
where
we've
put
in
more
effort
where
we've
put
in
more
energy
than
so
many
other
of
our
municipalities,
of
our
peer
municipalities.
S
So
I
I
am
going
to
vote
to
support
this,
but
I'm
also
with
the
mentality
that
we
cannot
allow
this
to
be
something
that
sits
on
the
shelf
for
all
those
individuals
that
have
been
pushing
this
for
years
and
dr
green
is
someone
that
has
been
pushing
this
before
many
of
us.
Some
of
us
were
even
born.
S
You
know
it's
important
that
we
we
we
have
those
individuals
and
we
appreciate
those
individuals
and
those
individuals
continue
to
push
us
to
make
sure
we
don't
allow
this
to
be
something
that
sits
on
a
child.
So
thank
you.
R
As
a
member
of
the
public
safety
meeting,
our
public
safety
committee,
we
had
a
couple
meetings
where
we
really
listened
to
all
the
community
comments,
and
it
was,
you
know,
acknowledgement
from
other
council
members
that
it
wasn't
the
easiest
thing
to
go
through
right.
There
were
tough
conversations
had
there
were
things
brought
up
that
were
lacking
in
the
report,
and
so
we
took
that
right
and
we
took
every
comment
and
we
put
that
into
our
resolution.
R
So
not
only
is
this
saying
we
adopt
the
plan
but
saying
we
adopt
the
plan,
and
here
are
the
changes
we
want
to
have
seen,
including
the
vision
which
we
talked
about.
We
had
a
discussion
about
earlier
today
in
public
comment,
including
a
conversation
about
the
fact
that
we
want
to
move
on
these
changes
before
12
months.
R
We're
going
to
get
things
done
in
addition
to
the
things
that
we've
already
done
this
year,
acknowledgement
of
the
fact
that
there's
missing
parts
that
we
need
to
have
included,
and
also
a
tie
back
to
that
saying
that
not
only
will
the
abc
priorities
be
be
put
forward,
but
we're
also
going
to
look
at
the
additional
pieces
that
are
missing
and
all
the
reports
from
all
the
working
groups
to
make
sure
that,
if
there's
other
recommendations
in
there
that
weren't
highlighted
as
a
priority,
we
still
consider
those
when
we
talk
about
police
reform.
R
So
we
acknowledge
that
there
are
changes
that
need
to
be
made,
but
we
are
not
going
to
at
least
from
my
perspective,
put
a
stop
to
this
progression.
That
we've
been
going
through.
I
think,
passing
tonight
is
a
step
towards
the
next
phase
in
this
process.
We're
really
going
to
dive
in
we're
going
to
make
legislation
to
make
sure
that
we
put
our
money
basically
where
our
mouth
is,
and
we
make
changes
here
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
and
I
will
be
supporting
this
resolution
tonight.
P
Thank
you,
mr
holy.
M
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
find
it
significant
that
today
is
the
idea
march,
and
you
know
the
roman
senate
thought
that
by
killing
caesar
that
they
could
change
and
make
democracy
stronger,
what
they
actually
did
was
make
it
weaker.
I
want
to
apologize
to
dr
green
when
I
said
she
was
satisfied
with
the
whole
document.
It
was
the
vision
statement
and
I
understand
that
you
know
we're
the
legislative
body.
M
We
have
the
power
and
we've
already
done
an
override,
so
any
changes
that
we
want
to
make
as
a
council
we
can
make,
and
we
can
change
at
any
point
and
that's
what
I'm
confident
about
that.
We
can
do
these
things
that
we
that
are
needed
to
be
done.
Let's
talk
about
local
law,
h,
local
law,
high
local,
hard,
j,
we're
also
going
to
do,
and
I
hope
that
everybody
will
vote
like
I
am
to
ban
using
tear
gas.
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
coming
up,
so
we
have
the
power
through
the
ordinance.
M
B
You
know
I
have
a
lot
of
mixed
feelings
about
this,
because
I
I
sat
in
on
a
public
safety
committee
meeting
and
you
know
I
heard
loud
and
clear
that,
although
it
was
an
effort
put
forth,
the
community
really
didn't
participate.
I
think
that
they
said
it
was,
you
know,
maybe
10
meetings
and
was
under
10
people
that
participated
in
all
the
meetings,
and
I
just
feel
like
I
hear
fear-mongering
like
we
have
to
do
this
before
april
1st
in
order
not
to
lose
funding.
B
I
think
that
the
executive
order
was
clear.
It
asked
for
a
plan
and
it's
been
stated
repeatedly
that
they
don't
see
a
crystal
clear
plan
as
as
a
council,
we
want
to
be
respected
as
people
that
speak
up
for
exactly
what's
going
on
and
you
you
know,
like
I
hear
you
know
we're
always
appreciative
of
the
effort
that's
put
in
by
the
volunteers
by
the
community.
B
But
you
know
time
and
time
again
you
know
our
you
know.
Certain
communities
have
been
on
the
receiving
end
of
acts
that
have
brought
us
to
this
point,
and
you
know
I
you
know
I
hear
george
floyd's
name
mention,
but
I
have
to
bring
up
dante
ivey.
You
know
people
have
been
calling
for
police
reform
for
a
long
time
and
for
us
now
to
be
put
in.
You
know
a
situation
where
april
1st
we
got
to
move.
B
We
got
to
push
something
that
clearly,
you
know,
dr
green
doesn't
speak
for
our
whole
community,
but
she
is
a
weighted
voice
in
our
community.
B
She
has
brought
up
many
points
that
are
valid
and
and
don't
speak
to
what
was
acts
to
be
done
and
but
yet
we're
saying
we're
ahead
of
other
municipalities
in
in
the
state.
You
know
that
that
that
means
neither
here
nor
there
to
the
community
members
of
our
of
our
community,
because
they
are
calling
for
a
change
for
albany
and-
and
you
know,
it's
been
put
in
our
possession
to
make
a
to
vote
yes
or
no
on
something.
B
So
it's
it's
hard
for
me
to
just
go
along
with
this
document,
because
we
don't
want
to
lose
aid.
I
don't
want
to
lose
another
life.
I
don't
want
to
wake
up
and
hear
you
know
some.
A
family
member
has
been.
B
B
I
just
don't
want
to
be
in
this
situation
where
we're
constantly
saying
this
is
not
what
you
know,
what
what
exactly
is
needed,
but
we're
going
to
make
it
better.
This
seems
to
be
a
common
practice
and
a
position
that
we're
putting
about
legislation
about
legislation,
that's
supposed
to
make
a
difference
and
bring
about
the
change
that
the
community
is
is
looking
for.
B
So
I
just
feel
like
we
keep
getting
put
in
these
positions
where
we're
not
providing
the
community
with
what
the
community
wants
and
that's
important
when
you
are
the
voice
of
the
community,
so
I
just
wanted
to
go
on
record
and
state
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
P
If
not
I'd
like
to
say
something
on
this
legislation
on
this
resolution
as
well,
I
I
too,
mr
anani,
was
on
the
collaborative
as
well.
We
thank
all
those
members
of
the
volunteers
on
the
collaborative
we
thank
them
for
their
time
and
their
effort.
P
The
time
frame
to
get
something
like
this
done
was
very
short
time
frame
to
get
something
this
comprehensive
done
in
that
time
frame
where,
where
there
wouldn't
be
mistakes
or
mishaps,
it
was
not
long
enough,
and
so,
as
I
was
on
the
collaborative
and
also
on
this
body,
I'd
like
to
say
this
body
as
a
council
started,
this
reform
started
the
forum
by
the
laws
we've
passed
before
the
governor's
executive
order,
so
the
community
needs
to
understand
this
council
was
out
in
front
of
this
when
we
had
our
press
conference
this
summer
and
that
hot
heat
and
we
passed
our
reforms,
our
local
laws,
not
just
resolutions
but
local
laws,
and
also
with
understanding
the
work
that
was
done.
P
P
P
P
Looking
at
policing
in
the
city
of
albany
in
a
different
way
in
a
different
light,
we've
got
I've
got
commitments
from
community
members.
We've
already
heard.
Other
people
want
to
be
a
part
of
this.
So
when
camera
council
chair
of
public
safety,
kelly
kimbrough
majority
leader,
ms
farrell
others
have
said,
this
is
just
the
beginning,
it
really
is,
it
is
the
beginning.
P
So,
even
though
we
had
to
because
of
an
executive
order,
council
members,
we
had
to
put
something
in
writing
up
front
to
match
the
at
the
first
deadline,
and
it
was
tough
talking
to
people
in
the
community
that
convinced
them
that
this
is
not
april.
1St
is
not
the
cut-off
date.
That
is
the
cut-off
date
that
the
governor
has.
That
is
not
the
cut-off
date
for
this
council.
That
will
be
not
the
cutoff
date
for
the
for
future
councils.
P
This
is
going
to
be
a
work
in
progress,
we're
going
to
ask
people
to
look
and
and
and
see
a
different
type
of
policing
in
this
city
and
we're
going
to
work
hard
and
we're
going
to
in
this
council.
I
believe
this
council
has
shown
that
it
has
the
ability
to
look
at
things
different
and
it
has
the
ability
to
move
forward.
P
So
I
would
like
to
commend
everyone,
especially
this
council,
for
the
reforms
they
we've
passed
already,
and
some
of
them
have
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
we
will
continue
to
move
forward.
This
is
the
april.
First
is
not
the
cut-off
date.
So
the
council
members
who
said
the
community's
asking
for
this,
the
community
will
have
a
chance
again
to
weigh
in
and
we
will
ask
them
over
and
over
again
to
weigh
in
and
hopefully
we
will
be
blessed
where
this
pandemic
will
be
behind
us.
P
So
we
don't
have
to
rely
on
people
having
to
log
into
facebook
or
log
into
youtube
or
log
on
to
zoom,
where
we
will,
we
will
be
able
to
go
out
and
and
share
this,
the
vision
and
the
message
and
get
that
from
individuals
in
the
community
face
to
face
with
community
meetings
and
moving
forward
and
then
bringing
it
to
our
public
safety
committee
and
our
other
council
members.
So
we
can
really
look
at
where
we
are
where
people
want
to
go
and
what
we're
going
to
do.
P
So
with
that
being
said,
I'm
glad
that
we're
moving
forward.
We
did
have
a
deadline,
not
any
you
know,
not
anything
of
our
own,
but
that
was
what
the
governor
stated.
So
we
are
moving
forward.
The
document
was
presented
to
this
council.
The
council
had
had
continued
to
say
what
it
didn't
see,
but
we
what
we
as
a
council
have
agreed
that
this
is
enough
to
continue
to
move
forward.
This
is
enough
to
start
to
build
on,
and
we
will
do
that
as
a
council.

Okay,
thank
you,
mr
president,
the
remainder
of
the
resolutions
are
held.
A
I
think
mr
hoey
has
his
oh.
I
didn't
see
that
go
ahead.
M
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
last
week.
Well
at
the
caucus
we
had
talked
about
the
the
motorcycle
and
atv
legislation,
and
you
know
there
was
a
comment
made
in
text.
You
know
on
the
phone
excuse
me,
I
did
talk
to
somebody
who
works
for
d.o.t
and
they
gave
me
some
laws
that
concern
about
driving
without
insurance.
It's
a
pretty
serious
offense.
I
did
talk
to
to
president
corey
about
it
and
but
I
didn't
get
any
response.
M
Is
that
something
that
when
we
go
to
public
safety,
we
can
have
somebody
look
into
those
law,
references,
the
motor
vehicle
law
that
we're
not
just
at
the
meeting,
not
knowing
what
we're
talking
about.
A
Absolutely
yes,
yes,
absolutely
we'll
get
a
member
of
apd
there
from
traffic
safety
who
can
speak
to
to
to
those
laws.
K
I
don't
know
we
have
an
expert
per
se,
but
something
I
can
certainly
look
into
and
be
prepared
to
discuss
at
that
meeting.
Thank
you.

Brown:
hey
no
further
business
movie
adjourned.
