A
Okay:
this
is
a
meeting
of
the
general
services
committee
to
consider
two
ordinances,
both
by
council
member
anani.
They
are
ordinance
number
13.72
for
and
ordinance.
A
14.72.20
we
have
present
committee
members
presence,
are
council,
member
myself,
councilmember
o'brien,
councilmember
flynn,
council
member
anani
other
count,
councilmember
fahey,
other
council
members
present
our
council
member
igo
council
president
cory
ellis
representatives
from
the
department
of
general
services,
and
we
also
have
a
representative
from
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative,
exactly
simpson.
A
So
I
guess
I'll
start
by
letting
council
member
wussu
explain
the
two
ordinances
and
what
he
is
hoping
to
accomplish
with
those
ordinances.
B
Good
evening,
I
hope
everyone
is
well
the
first
piece
of
legislation
that,
as
it
relates
to
the
forestry
I
am
going
to
put
it
on
hold,
because
there
are
members
of
the
neighborhood
association
that
would
like
to
weigh
in
and
also
I'll
be
working
with
administration
moving
forward,
so
that
one,
the
fourth
street
legislation,
I'm
gonna,
put
it
on
hold
so
further
discussion.
B
But
as
it
relates
to
hello,
I
can
hear
you.
Yes,
it
relates
to
the
legislation
for
the
quality
of
life,
shorten
the
time
period
and
also
increasing
the
fee.
B
I
like
to
say,
quality
of
life
in
this
city
of
albany
has
been
a
primary
concern
for
many
residents
in
our
city.
As
a
council
member,
I
want
to
make
a
dent
in
addressing
a
long-standing
quality
of
life
issue,
that
issue
being
the
need
to
ensure
that
property
owners
are
taking
care
of
their
properties
when
property
owners
decide
that
they
don't
want
to
do
the
work
or
pay
someone
to
work
to
take
care
of
their
properties.
B
That
impacts
our
communities.
It
enco
encourages
wild
animals,
insects
and
the
pets
to
take
root.
In
these
neighborhoods,
a
poorly
maintained
property
drags,
the
value
of
surrounding
neighborhoods
properties
down
and
in
turn,
impacts
the
tax
base
before
it
gets
to
that
point,
we
as
a
city
have
to
be
proactive
in
making
sure
property
owners
are
taking
care
of
their
buildings
and
loans,
which
is
why
I'm
introducing
this
legislation.
B
Currently,
if
there
is
a
property
that
the
property,
if
the
property
is
not
being
taken
care
of,
if
there's
a
litter
in
front
of
property
garbage
or
if
there's
overgrown,
weeds,
the
city
of
albany
is
notified
and
the
department
of
generous
service
is
notified
and
from
that
notification,
dgs
will
make
a
post
to
that
property
and
once
that
post
is
made,
it's
given
five
days
to
that
owner
to
rectify
correct
that
mishap.
B
What
we
have
witnessed
over
the
past
couple
of
years
is
that
that
five
days
is
not
encouraging
residents
to
take
care
of
their
property,
and
we're
also
witnessing
that
even
with
those
five-day
notice,
dgs
is
not
getting
there
in
time
or
having
enough
time
to
post
them
in
a
lengthy
and
appropriate
time,
so
the
property
owner
can
take
care
of
property.
So
I
want
to
encourage
the
parliament
general
service
with
this
legislation,
but
also
encourage
the
property
owners
to
correct
the
litter
and
overgrown
weeds
in
front
of
their
property.
B
I
know
that
there's
been
court
decisions
that
have
been
made.
That
five
days
is
too
short
and
you
know
being
on
the
council.
I've
learned
one
thing:
well
several
things,
but
one
of
it
is
that
some
fights
are
worth
having
whether
it
has
to
go
to
court
and
I'm
willing
to
go
to
court
to
fight
this,
because
I
believe
that
no
one
in
our
neighborhood
should
languish
in
litter,
with
garbage
with
health
being
a
top
priority
in
the
neighborhood.
B
A
Okay,
I
believe
we
have
francioli
and
sergio
penunzio
from
dts.
So
two
things
I
would
invite
them
to
comment
on
the
proposed
ordinance.
I
guess,
if
you
want
to
comment
on
the
tree,
one
you
can,
but
that's
going
to
be
held
yes
and
then
also.
I
believe
you
are
going
to
demonstrate
to
us
how
the
new
portal,
which
you
established
a
few
weeks
ago,
you're
going
to
demonstrate
the
operation
of
that
portal.
So
it's
yours
to
comment.
C
We
we
have
no
problem,
as
is
written
as
a
matter
of
fact.
We
want
to
commend
councilman
for
increasing
the
fine,
that's
that
is
a
huge
issue
and
it's
a
beginning
to
reowning
our
own
keyboards
as
we
agree
with
it.
As
is
written.
We
have
no
objection
and
we
welcome
the
change.
A
C
A
Okay,
so
basically
you
don't
have
a
problem
with
either
the
raising
the
surcharge
or
the
three
day.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could,
just
I
invited
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative
to
come
because
they've
been
tracking
since
covet
anyway
they've
been
tracking,
I
believe
about
400
complaints,
not.
D
A
On
trash
and
overgrowth,
but
on
all
sorts
of
complaints
that
are
made
to
see
quick
fix,
I
assuming
you
folks,
keep
track
of
some
of
your
data
for
how
long
it
takes.
First
of
all,
to
you
know,
acknowledge
the
complaint:
do
a
site
visit
do
a
citation
if
necessary
or
correct
the
problem.
E
Well,
let
me
first
start
by
saying
you
know
this
legislation
where
it
works
is
so
it.
This
will
ensure
that
you
know
we
will
go
out
and
post
the
property
within
three
days,
and
you
know
so
really
it's
not
gonna.
You
know,
I
don't
know
that
we're
it's
going
to
do
anything
to
clean
the
property,
any
quicker,
because
you're
going
to
give
people
the
time
to
do
it.
You
got
to
give
it
mail
time.
You
know
we're
still
going
to
get
to
it
schedule
to
get
it
cleaned.
E
I
think
the
percentage
the
surcharge
and
the
fines
is
a
great
deterrent.
So
I
hope
that
it
works.
You
know,
but
us
getting
out
there
and
us
you
know
getting
it
done
within
three
calendar
days.
Getting
the
the
posting
done
within
three
calendar
days
is
not
a
problem,
that's
not
a
problem,
but
I
think
we
need
to
make
it
clear
that
it's
not
gonna
be
cleaned
in
three
calendar
days,
because
you
still
have
to
give
the
notice-
and
you
know
what
we
stopped
to
mail
out.
A
Okay,
now
I
don't
I
was
at
a
finance
committee
meeting.
We
were
given
some
data
regarding
vacancies
and
I
noticed
that
general
department
of
general
services
has
probably
about
40
some
vacancies,
but
I'm
not
and
and
a
number
of
them
are
laborers
labor
supervisor.
I
assume
that's
the
kind
of
personnel
which
are
going
to
be
out
there
doing
the
site
visits.
So
I
was
wondering
maybe
we
could
just
tell
us
to
what
to
what
degree
you've
been
impacted
in
terms
of
you
know,
carrying
out
quality
of
life,
complaints.
E
E
Impacted
highly
impacted,
you
know
those
vacancies
that
have
hurt
us
to
be
able
to
you
know
get
some
of
this
done,
whether
it's
parks,
whether
it's
lots
whatever
it
is
all
quality
of
life
issues,
have
been
affected
by
getting
you
know,
by
being
able
to
fill
positions
and
getting
people
in
you
know,
look
you
know
when
unemployment
has
been
paying
more
than
in
the
hourly
wages.
It's
been
difficult,
so
you
know
we've
got
seasonal
positions
available,
we've
got
you
know.
C
You
know
again
it's
just
difficult.
We
are
recruiting
every
camp
that
we
can
possibly
recruit,
but
in
the
getting
the
response
of
unemployment,
this
thing
more
and
I'm
gonna
let
the
unemployment
rate
out.
A
Could
you
give
us,
you
know
a
demonstration
of
the
portal
that
you
announced
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
then
maybe
explain
to
us
how
it's
going
to
help
facilitate
your
effort
to
track
everything
and
and
and
keep
up
on
quality.
So.
E
Okay,
so
let
me
just
quickly,
you
know
this
is
very
quick
for
everybody.
So
basically,
this
is
this.
Neighborhood
portal
was
put
together
for
the
reasons
of
we.
E
We
were
going
to
the
neighborhood
to
a
lot
of
the
neighborhood
groups
to
the
association
meetings
and
people
were
complaining
that
there
wasn't
one
place
they
could
go
to
get
quality
of
life
information,
so
it
kind
of
spurred
an
idea
for
us
to
put
together
one
spot
wherever
we
could
go
to
get
information
and
one
springboard,
if
you
will
that
they
could
go
to
do
certain
things.
Okay
and
like
anything,
this
is
the
beginning
of
something
I
think
it
will
evolve
over
time.
E
So
there'll
be
more
things,
but
let
me
give
you
a
quick
little
tutorial
of
some
of
the
things
that
it'll
do
obviously
an
easy
place
to
ask
a
question:
you
click
here.
It
opens
up
a
information
box
where
you
can
ask
the
question
of
bgs.
E
This
box
automatically
connects
you
to
see
click
fix
to
the
city
of
albany.
Okay.
This
would
be
an
alerts
area,
a
city
of
albany
news
area.
So
as
we
alert
and
have
news
of
different
events
that
will
start
to
be
added,
okay,
you
hit
this
it'll.
Take
you
to
to
a
list
of
different
news
articles
as
as
that
starts
to
develop
this
section
over
here
subscribe
now
or
my.
My
mouse
is
right
here.
E
If
you
click
that
it
will
take
you
into
an
area
where
you
can
give
your
email
address,
so
that
when
we
are
going
to
announce
something,
we
can
send
you
an
email,
an
email
update,
put
you
on
an
email
list
to
be
able
to
say,
hey,
there's
a
snow
emergency
there's
a
spring
where
there's
a
there's,
a
hazardous
waste
schedule
that
just
came
out
there's
a
shrinking
event
happening,
there's
something
we
think
you
need
to
know
we're
yard
waste.
E
G
E
Have
to
disseminate
the
information
it
can
be
talking
directly
to
the
residents.
We
want
the
residents
to
sign
up
to
this,
so
we
can
talk
directly
to
them.
We
don't
have
their
direct
information.
This
way
we
can
going
down
here.
Okay,
this
faq
information,
each
one
of
these
sections
are
major
areas
of
dgs
information.
Okay,
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
I'm
going
to
go
into
one
section,
just
to
show
you
waste
collection.
Okay,
you
click
on
it
read
more
about
waste
collection.
E
When
you
hit
this
okay,
it
gives
you
different
waste
collection,
information
things
that
these
are
questions
that
we
get
a
lot
okay.
How
do
I
find
out
what
my
trash
day
is?
You
click
this.
It
answers
the
question
for
you.
In
some
cases
there
might
be
another
hyperlink
in
here
I'm
going
to
try
to
find
one
that
might
have
a
hyperlink.
You
know
here
relating
to
this
subject:
click
here,
you
click
here,
it'll.
Take
you
to
the
information
regarding
that.
E
So
you
don't
have
to
look
in
a
lot
of
different
places
to
get
that
information
all
right.
It's
all
in
one
place,
if
you
do
not
find
your
question
here,
you
can
hit
this
button.
It'll.
Take
you
to
a
form
that
you
fill
out
a
couple
of
different
questions.
That'll
ask
you
then
submit
it
and
we
can
get
back
to
you
with
the
question.
If
it's
a
good
question
that
an
faq
type
question
will
add
it
to
that
list.
E
Okay,
so
the
idea
is:
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
there's
a
lot
of
different
questions
here
that
we
can
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
answer?
Okay,.
A
Okay,
I
just
want
to
note
we
have
more
participants
in
the
meeting
now
we
have
been
joined
by
david,
gallon
chief
staff,
the
mayor
common
council
president
corey
ellis
council
member
judy,
dochette
council
member,
alfredo
ballerin
and
councilmember
richard
conte
and
I'll.
Let
you
finish
your
demonstration
and
then
I
was
gonna
open
it
up
to
first
questions
by
council
members
and
then
questions
by
other
members,
and
then
I
was
going
to
open
up
to
a
presentation
by
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative.
A
E
Me
all
right,
let
me
finish
my
presentation
here
then
mike
okay,
so
the
faq
information
and
down
here
is
the
dgs
codes.
These
are
all
codes
that
are
very
important
to
dgs
the
ones
that
we
maintain.
Of
course,
citywide
there's
a
lot
of
others,
but
these
are
the
ones
that
dgs-
and
here
are
the
information,
and
this
will
take
you
directly
to
the
the
code
on
generalcode.com,
okay,
which
will
give
you
more
information
again
one
stop
shop
hit.
It
takes
you
right
there
into
the
middle
as
we
go
down
further.
Actually
farther.
E
This
is
our
youtube
page
you're
able
to
like
the
page.
Take
you
to
the
page
again.
Some
people
don't
realize
where
it
is,
they'd
have
to
go
to
youtube
and
search
it.
Here's
a
way
just
to
click
it.
It's
there
moving
to
the
middle
again,
a
nice
video
we
put
together
on
on
the
census.
You
want
to
learn
more
about
the
census
there.
That
is
facebook.
This
will
our
facebook
page
to
visit
again.
One
stop
shop
way
to
jump
to
it
not
having
to
go
to
different
places.
E
Potholes
very
important.
A
lot
of
people
like
to
see
this
immediately
brings
you
to
see
click
fix
to
do
to
go
ahead
and
request
that
pothole-
and
this
is
a
direct
link
directly
into
c
click
fix
on
this
side
here.
This
part
here
is
requesting
and
registering
all
right.
This
is
something
that
people
have
asked
for.
So
when
people
there's
a
lot
of
neighborhood
groups
that
want
to
host
a
neighborhood
cleanup,
they
need
tools,
they
want
bag
collection.
They
want
us
to
help
them
with
stuff.
By
doing
that,
they
click
here.
E
It
opens
up
a
form
they
fill
out.
They
submit.
It
gives
us
all
the
necessary
information.
We
need
to
then
respond
back
to
them
and
be
able
to
help
them
schedule
that
cleanup
okay,
it,
otherwise
they
call
they
get
somebody
it
gets
lost
in
the
sus.
This
way,
it's
very
easy.
They
fill
out
the
form
we
have
all
the
information
we
need.
We
get
back
to
them
pretty
quickly
and
be
able
to
say
yes,
we
can
help
you.
We
can
give
you
what
you
need.
It's
healthy.
The
next
one
request
the
meeting
attendance.
E
We
get
a
lot
of
requests
for
sergio
myself
to
attend
neighborhood
meetings
to
go
to
civic
groups
whatever.
This
is
a
good
way
to
request
for
us
to
go
that
way,
you're
not
going
through
different
points
of
contact.
Oh
I
tried
to
call
this
is
a
good
way
of
doing
it
as
well.
Streetlight
requests
again,
there's
always
been
an
online
portal
from
the
city's
website.
Again,
all
this
does
is
it's
one-stop
shop.
All
this
is
right.
There
you
hit
this.
It
takes
you
to
that
spot.
It's
always
been
on
the
city's
website.
E
This
just
takes
you.
There
registering
for
hazardous
waste
again
same
thing.
It's
been
on
the
hazardous
way,
the
page
for
hazardous
waste.
You
hit
it.
It
takes
you
there,
but
again
it's
quicker.
It's
right
here,
one
spot
easy!
You
go
to
one
page
and
there
you
go
applying
for
permits.
Grading
permits,
right-of-way
street
openings
currently
right
now
there
is
no
way
to
do
these
digitally
online,
where
you
fill
it
out,
pay
for
it,
and
all
of
that
it
is
something
we'd
like
to
do
eventually
we're
working
on
it.
E
But
right
now,
at
the
very
least,
you
can
download
the
application,
and
here
it
is
again
also
available
on
the
city's
website,
but
sometimes
difficult
to
find.
People
have
said
that
this
makes
it
very
easy
right
there
to
find
it
and
then
some
related
website
websites
to
save.
We
are
hoping
that
at
some
point
this
will
include
some
surveys:
lots
of
video
information,
there's
a
ticker
here
that
goes
across
the
screen.
When
something
needs
to
be
understood,
there's
you
know
storm
going
on
we're
doing
something,
so
the
idea
would
be
we
want.
E
A
Okay,
okay,
I
have
only
one
question
and
then
I
would
open
it
up
to
other
committee
members.
My
question
is:
this
seems
like
a
terrific
idea.
Are
any
other
departments
to
your
knowledge,
gonna
work
into
a
similar
kind
of
approach
for
taking
complaints
or
or
don't
you
know
that
again.
E
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
make
clear
to
everybody
is
that
this
in
no
way
replaces
c-clip
fix
or
the
website.
All
this
is
is
trying
to
streamline
for
quality
of
life
issues
to
be
able
to
make
it
a
little
easier.
While
we
try
to
you
know,
just
try
to
get
to
things.
It
was
a
you
know.
It
was
a
way
to
get
get
it
so
that
it
was
easier
for
people
to
find
quality
of
life
information,
especially
from
the
city
of
law,
from
the
department
of
general
service.
E
At
this
point,
at
some
point,
maybe
other
quality
of
life.
Information
for
other
departments
could
end
up
on
this
page,
but
for
right
now
it's
dgs
related
is
so
that
we
have
a
better
way
of
talking
directly
to
neighborhoods.
It's
it's.
You
know
about
quality
of
life
issues.
That
was
the
idea
so
that
it
was
easy.
A
Okay,
I'll
open
it
up
to
other
committee
members.
If
they
have
questions
and
bear
in
mind,
we
have
one
other
presentation
coming
up,
but
I
thought
you
might
have
some
questions
for
the
commissioner
and
for
frank
zioli,
the
committee
members
I
share
and
you
can
I
I
can't
say.
Oh
yes,
I
say
yeah
cassie
faye
committee
member
has
raised
her
hand
so
kathy.
A
H
Thanks
mike
yeah
I
well,
the
portal
looks
great.
It
really
looks
great
everything's
much
more
centralized,
so
I
think
this
is
you
know
a
terrific
step
forward.
So
congratulations
on
that,
but
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
legislation.
H
And
I
just
wanted
to,
I
mean
you
know
on
the
face
of
it.
This
is
this
looks
great
because
I
agree
with
owusu
that
it's
a
real
problem
to
get
get
our
properties
cleaned
up
to
get
whether
it's
the
residents
who
live
there,
the
landlord's
not
taking
care
of
it
whatever
it
is.
We
need
to
it's
a
huge
quality
of
life
issue.
H
I
totally
agree,
but
I
guess
I
I
wanted
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
how
you
came
up
with
you
know
some
of
these,
like
the
25
surcharge,
what
you
know
I
was
curious
to
know.
What's
what
is
the
typical
surcharge
with
one
of
these
cases,
or
how
did
you
come
up
with
that
and
also
the
define
for
increasing
it
won't
exceed
500?
Now
it's
going
to
be
a
thousand.
How?
How
did
you
come
up
with
those
numbers?
H
And
you
know
I'm
also
concerned
that
you
know
because
of
this
you
know
we're
doing
everything
virtually.
It
doesn't
seem
like
we're.
We
have
enough
time
for
the
public
to
weigh
in
on
some
of
these
issues,
so
usually
back
in
the
day
when
we
were
meeting
in
person,
you'd
have
you'd,
have
the
landlords
here
and
they'd
be
they'd,
be
at
least
commenting
and
aware
that
this
is
happening.
I'm
concerned
a
little
concerned
that
that's
not
happening
here.
H
So
if
you
could
comment
on
on
some
of
that,
awuso
and
also
dgs
staff.
B
Yeah
I
like
to
yield
to
the
dgs,
but
anyway,
as
it
relates
to
the
shortening
of
the
time
period.
One
of
the
things
that
I
have
we
have
noticed,
and
many
people
in
the
neighborhood
have
noticed,
is
that
whenever
a
property
is
posted,
typically
a
constituent
takes
extra
time
to
kind
of
remedy
the
problem,
and
I
think
by
showing
it
it's
going
to
encourage
djs
and
also
encourage
the
property
owner
to
take
care
of
it.
B
But
as
it
relates
to
the
number
from
currently
as
a
stand,
I
believe
the
maximum
fine
that
dgs
could
put
on
a
property
which
has
litter
is
up
to
500.
B
There
should
be
no
reason
why
residents
have
to
endure
the
amount
of
litter
and
trash
on
individuals,
properties,
their
property
tax
are
going
down
and
as
it
relates
to
the
landlords
having
a
sale,
property
owners
having
to
say,
quite
frankly,
yes
they're
part
of
the
problem,
some
of
them.
So
I
believe
that
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
B
It's
not
going
to
solve
the
problem
of
the
problem,
but
I
believe
if
we
get
the
message
out
that,
if
you
don't
take
care
of
property
you're
going
to
be
held
accountable
and
that
we're
going
to
enforce
these
existing
codes,
I
think
it's
going
to
change
the
direction
that
we're
witnessing
all
across
our
city.
I'm
tired
of
doing
cleanups
in
the
pine
hills
neighborhood
every
weekend,
there's
a
cleanup
every
other
day.
There's
a
cleanup.
My
council
colleague,
alfredo,
is
doing
four
cleanups
in
his
neighborhood.
B
Tell
us
remember:
we
have
priorities
that
we
have
to
focus
on.
We
should
be
doing
six
seven
cleanups
in
one
month,
it's
time
that
some
of
these
property
owners
take
ownership
in
the
way
their
streets
and
their
neighborhood
look,
and
I
believe
this
is
sending
the
right
message.
C
I
I
I
I
thank
councilman
for
expressing
he's
right.
A
lot
of
these
properties
are
absentee
landlord
land
owners
they're,
rather
paid
to
find
they
actually
take
care
of
it.
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
point
out
is
that
up
to
five
hundred
dollars,
but
it's
not
zero
to
five
hundred.
It's
escalating,
so
your
first
offense
it's
a
hundred
dollars.
Your
second
offense
might
be
250
your
third
offense
300.
C
So
we
give
you
enough
time
to
remedy
and
correct
your
problem
and
what
we
hear
all
the
time
it's
my
tenant,
it's
my
tenant!
Well,
the
tenant
is
paying
right,
you're,
the
property
owner.
You
have
to
take
some
responsibilities,
and,
and
with
this
fine
I
I
we
have
we're
finding
out
that
it's
cheaper
for
the
landlord
to
pay
the
fine
rather
than
conform
to
the
ordinance,
and
it's
not
fair
to
the
property
owner
that
maintains
this
property
that
takes
care
of
his
lawn
and
he's
concerned
about
the
neighborhood.
C
So
increasing
defined
is
definitely
one
of
our
priorities
to
address
this
quality
of
life,
issues
that
keep
on
putting
the
burden
on
the
city
rather
than
on
the
property
owners,
collecting
rents,
who's,
collecting
profits
and
making
profit
on
the
property.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
the
first
offense
is
not
500,
it
it
escalates.
C
Clearly
it
escalates
and-
and
we
have
hearing
you
have
opportunity
for
the
for
the
property
owner
to
come
to
a
dgs
hearing
and
gives
a
statement
why
it
wasn't
done,
and
so
I
I
think
this
is
the
right
approach
and-
and
I
really
want
to-
I
want
to
praise
conservative
muslim
for
taking
the
step
and
sticking
his
neck
out,
because
no
one
really
wants
to
do
this.
But
we
need
to
address
this
issue.
Then.
H
And
sergio
how
about
the
25
surcharges
does
that?
Did
you
take
a
look
at
what
the
cost
is
to
go
in
and
clean
up
some
of
these
situations?
I'm
just
curious
how
you
determine
that?
Well,.
E
Let
me
tell
you,
let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
how
it's
done
so
so
there
it's
the
cost
of
the
cleanup
all
right.
So
what
we
will
do
is
we
charge
for
every
truck
every
person?
That's
used
every
piece
of
equipment,
that's
used,
so
that's
one
line,
that's
one
bill,
one
part
of
the
bill
and
then
the
next
part
is
the
fine
which
is
the
500
or
to
be
increased
to
a
thousand
as
per
this
legislation.
E
So
so
we
it's
there's.
The
cost
of
cleanup
part
of
what
this
15
to
the
25
is
is
administrative
surcharge.
That
includes
what
it
takes
for
us
to
do
our
end.
You
know
on
this
end
the
billing,
the
notices,
the
cost
of
the
certified
mail-
and
you
know
all
of
that-
and
that
is
we
work
that
at
the
15
currently
so
it
would
be
at
the
25,
and
I
don't
really
know
I
haven't
really
looked
at.
You
know
what
what
it's
costing
us.
E
You
know
it's
been
at
that
forever
because
that's
what
the
code
said
it
was.
You
know
what
I
mean.
I
don't
know
what
the
actual
cost
of
our
staff
and
our
all
of
the
stuff
that
we
do
could
be
more
than
that,
but
you
know
I
think
this
is
up
to
together
with
a
cost
of
25
surcharge.
I
mean
again,
I
think,
if,
if
your
concern
is
that
we
need
to
back
that
number
up
before
we
start
charging
it
I'm
sure
what
we
can
do.
E
There
could
be
interpretation
there
that
we
could
look
and
see
that
we're
not
overcharging
so
that
we
could
take
a
look
and
see
for
the
administrative
surcharge.
End
of
things
make
sure
it's
fair
right.
Knowing
we
can
go
up
to
25,
you
know,
but
the
fine
I
agree
should
be
higher
and
the
we
we
charge
the
cost.
The
cost
is
the
cost.
C
Of
what
it
costs
us
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
done
just
again
to
be
fair
to
the
violator,
even
though
we
shouldn't
be
fair,
but
we've
used
the
rates
that
we
use
at
the
fema
rates.
So
if
fema,
which
is
the
federal
government,
says
that
a
truck
is
1.50
for
an
hour
and
they
accept
that
and
that's
how
they
reimburse
us,
we
feel
I
felt
that
it
was
a
right
number.
C
So
we
use
a
rate
that
is
consistent
to
the
northeast
courier
by
the
federal
government
and
the
only
thing
that's
different,
that
increases
that
cost
or
not
is
the
amount
of
value
of
the
of
the
waste
that
we
have
to
pick.
Obviously,.
G
H
A
Thank
you
guys.
I
also
want
to
know:
we've
been
joined
by
councilmember
frederick,
but
jack
flynn
has
had
his
hand
up
the
longest
and
he's
a
committee
member,
so
jack
you're
right,
michael.
I
Sergio
and
frank,
so
this
question
goes
to
you.
As
you
know,
278
whitehall
in
my
award
gets
noticed
every
time,
so
you're
saying
they're
fine.
Now
it's
going
to
go
from
500
to
a
thousand,
which
I
agree
with
because
they
never
do
it.
So
is
that
true.
E
Yeah,
so
this
is
what
this
is
the
way
it
would
work
the
first
defense,
so
you
know
the
way
that
it
works.
Currently,
first
offense
on
any
property
is
one
100.
Second
offense
200.
Third
offense
is
three
three
and
then
fourth
is
3.75,
and
actually
I
think
we
stopped
at
375.
I
don't
think.
I
I
I
E
F
D
F
A
we
have
a
case
where
we
were
sued
on
it
back
in
2017.
It
was
15
of
the
cost
of
the
cleanup.
I
B
B
C
E
A
Okay,
the
order
of
hands
raised
all
right,
councilmember
conte,
then
council,
member
igo
and
council
member
ballerin,
and
I
want
to
note
that
we
have
been
joined
by
pro
tem
president
kelly
kimbrough.
J
Thank
you
a
couple
of
questions
as
I
recall,
and
I
used
this
for
sergio
or
frank
that,
while
the
current
standards
is
the
five-day
notice
that,
if
there's
a
situation
where
the
lot
presents
an
imminent
public
health
or
safety
concern
sanitary
concern
that
you
can
act
immediately
without
the
need
for
prior
notice,
that
is
correct,
correct.
That
is
correct.
J
Okay,
and
I
I
thought
that
was
in
code
someplace,
but
I
don't
seem
to
be
able
to
find
it.
C
We
would
have
to
get
involved,
for
example,
if
it's
a
tree
that
fell
down
right
structure,
we
would
have
to
get
the
fighter
bomb
and
say
the
structure
is
no
good,
but
yes,
there
are.
There
is
a
mechanism
there
to
say.
If
it's
an
imminent
danger
to
people
in
prophecy,
we
can
act
immediately
to
abate
in
the
immediate
dangers.
The
people
it's
a
fourth,
you
have
to
fill
out.
E
J
All
right
this
proposal
here
also
requires
that
you
have
to
upon
receiving
a
complaint.
You
have
to
inspect
the
property
within
three
calendar
days.
Calendar
days
is
includes
weekends,
holidays.
Whatever
is
that
something
that
you
would
be
able
to
do?
Yeah.
E
Yeah
well,
no,
I
would
probably
say
it
should
be
business
case.
This
is
dead,
yeah,
not
calendar
days.
I'm
sorry!
I
I
glanced
over
that.
So
so
that's
gonna
have
to
be
count.
J
In
just
for
posting
right,
okay
and
again,
this
doesn't
change
the
notice
provisions
or
the
time
frames
once
the
property
owner
has
been
noticed.
I
have
a
question
on
the
penalty
section,
not
the
surcharge
provision,
but
the
amendment
to
chapter
258
that
that
penalty
has
broader
application
than
just
this
particular
chapter,
so
that
that
is
the
default
penalty
system.
Wherever
a
penalty
is
not
specifically
mentioned
in
a
certain
part
of
the
code
or
there
might
be
a
reference
back,
258
is
the
default.
J
So
actually
we
doubled
this
penalty
provision
a
couple
of
years
ago
it
stopped
being
doubled.
Again,
I
don't
know
how
broad
an
impact
or
what
other
provisions
of
the
code
that
actually
applies
to.
I
did
a
quick
search
earlier
today
and
I
found
about
eight
sections
of
the
code
that
reference
258
as
the
the
penalty
for
a
violation.
J
There
are
probably
other
sections
where
it
applies
where
it's
not
mentioned.
So
if
a
penalty
is
not
mentioned,
it
goes
back
to
258..
J
I
don't
know
if
it's
appropriate
in
that
case,
to
increase
this
particular
default
penalty,
which
has
a
lot
broader
application
to
situations
less
serious
than
this
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
or
if
we
should
consider
establishing
a
totally
separate
penalty
provision
for
this
section
with
the
graduated
penalty
that
you
administratively
do
right
now,
but
without
knowing
how
broad
258
applies
to
other
sections
of
the
code.
I'd
be
concerned
about
what
we're
doing
I
mean
it
relates
to
litter.
I
mean
if
you
drop
a
piece
of
litter
or
whatever.
J
It
also
does
relate
to
the
vacant
lots.
But
there
are
other
areas
like
protest.
You
know,
violations
of
large
group
events
auctions,
I
mean
just
there's
a
whole
bunch
that
come
up.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
the
right
way
of
doing
that.
E
E
Because
you
know
for
the
record,
just
so
everybody
knows
is
that
our
max
penalty
right
now
for
the
for
legal
trash
and
for
the
overgrowth,
the
lots
as
we
call
them.
If
the
max
is
375.
all
right
all
right,
we
don't
even
go
to
the
500.,
so
it's
375.
once
you
get
to
that
which
is
the
fourth
defense,
the
fifth,
the
sixth,
the
seventh.
The
eighth
is
375.
Every
time
we've
never
actually
gone
to
the
500..
E
J
Are
not
within
dgs's
jurisdiction,
and
you
know,
that's
that's
a
concern
without
knowing
what
the?
How
broad
the
applicability
is
that
we're
increasing
this
without
having
a
good
sense
as
to
how
what
we're
doing.
A
Okay:
three
hands
raised
council
member
igo,
councilman,
ballerin,
council
member
dochette,
so
joe
you
are
next.
D
Yes,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
for
taking
this
matter
up
and
frank.
First
I'd
like
to
commend
you
for
putting
that
portal
together,
and
I
don't
want
to
bring
those
questions
in
right
now,
but
I
think
that
should
be
expanded
as
fast
as
possible,
especially
for
people
looking
for
that
can't
get
nexl
and
looking
at
some
of
the
things
like
when
that
bridge
was
out
the
other
day
on
where
henry
johnson
boulevard
or
one
of
those
people
don't
know
all
that
the
faster
you
could
tell
you
with
them.
D
That
would
be
very,
very
beneficial
and
I
had
the
same
concerns
richard
did
with
the
business
day
and
taking
care
of
that.
But
now
I
most
of
my
problems.
Issues
have
been
people
that
are
have
been
deceased.
Their
house
has
been
sitting
there
and
they
aren't
in
the
hands
of
the
bank,
yet
there
might
be
an
estate
this
and
that
I
don't
know
what
to
do
there.
I
found
the
worst
offenders
will
be
in
the
banks
and
and
realtors
realtors
it's
in
their
hands
at
foreclosure.
D
D
Back
to
the
portal
again,
click
fix
has
been
a
an
issue
for
some
of
the
more
senior
people.
Okay
and
I
believe
people
that
don't
have
the
internet
don't
have.
The
web
also
would
agree
with
that.
So
click
fix
is
a
little
difficult
for
some
people.
D
D
E
434-City
and
we
put
it
into
c-clip
fix
ourselves,
so
we
still
have
that
outline
for
those
of
you
for
a
few
of
you
that
have
been
around
as
long
as
I've
been
around
and
I've
started
managing
the
434
city
line
and
that
still
actually
happens
right.
So
we
answer
the
calls
we
put
it
in
and
that's
where
it
goes
so.
D
A
Up
council,
member
ballerin,
councilmember,
joshua
and
councilmember,
frederick
and
after
those
three
are
done
with
questioning.
I
want
to
bear
in
mind.
We
still
have
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative
that
is
going
to
do
a
powerpoint
on
their
tracking
of
trash
and
unkempt
lawns.
So
alfredo
you're
on.
I
C
If
you
have
to,
at
the
five
after
the
five
day,
posting
some
some
of
these
violations,
we
find
a
good
11
to
12
to
about
20
are
abated
by
the
owner
yeah,
not
not
every,
not
every
violation,
not
every
posting
results
into.
K
C
C
There
was
a
lawsuit
involved,
we
went
to
court
and
the
judge
ruled
that
we
have
to
give
a
five
days
notice
of
abatement.
You
have
to
get
basically
what
he
said.
You
have
to
give
the
property
owner
a
chance
to
resolve
the
issue
before
it
gets.
What
this
ordinance
does
is
that
guarantees
that,
within
three
days
that
we
us
receiving,
we
put
eyeballs
on
it
and
we
send
we
stop.
We
start
the
clock,
we
stop
the
clock,
that's
what
this
ordinance
does
and
it
every
system
and
increases
the
fire
and
escalating.
You
know
instrumentally.
K
K
So
from
when
they
receive
this,
they
have
five
days
to
correct
the
problem
before
they
get
any
fines.
That's
correct!
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
public
understands,
so
it's
not
a
situation
where
you
get
fined
if
there's
a
complaint
against
your
property.
If
this
complaint
against
your
property,
you
once
you
complain,
you
have
five
days
to
correct
the
issue.
All
contact
dgs
took
out
the
problems.
What
I
see
in
my
ward
is
overgrowth
growing
on
grass.
That
is
a
constant
problem.
K
That
is
a
landlord's
responsibility.
That
is
not
a
tenant's
responsibility,
that
is
the
property
owner's
responsibility.
If
a
property
evidence
is
putting
trash
in
their
property
or
or
putting
trash
in
front
of
their
property
like
it's
another
issue
that
they
deal
with
constantly,
that
is
a
landlord's
issue
with
their
tenant.
K
E
C
We
agree
and
again
one
of
my
policy
and
not
frankly
my
one
of
my
positions
as
commissioner
of
dgs
has
always
been.
That
would
be
punitive.
We
want
people
to
change
and
correct
their
behavior,
but
after
a
while,
if
you
don't
change
and
correct
your
behavior,
then
I
have
to
be
punitive.
So
your
first
fine
and
like
you
said
you
got
five
days.
If
you
call
us
up
and
say
hey,
I
just
got
the.
I
just
got
this
notice.
C
C
K
A
Sounds
good,
okay,
the
next
hand
up
is
council,
member
dochette
and
then
councilmember
frederick,
and
then
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative,
so
judy
you're
on.
L
Thank
you.
I
had
sent
awasu
some
recommendations
for
some
changes
in
this.
One
of
them
was
because
c
click
fix
specifically
says
that
it's
not
legal
notice
that
I
thought
that
we
should
be
including
upon
receiving
a
complaint.
L
Add
language
in
there
saying,
including
a
complaint
submitted
via
seek
click,
fix
to
make
it
clear
that
this
three-day
period
would
would
start
to
tick
when
c-click
fix
is
filed.
I
thought
a
wuzu
had
agreed
to
that.
B
Yes-
and
I
do
agree
john
rafael-
can
we
add,
is
that
in
there.
A
C
I
I
think
you
need
to
be
prudent
on
that,
and
maybe
I
should.
I
should
give
that
legal,
because
that
box
boxes
you
in
to
a
fine
where
now
the
language
is
vague
enough
to
give
flexibility.
L
The
second,
the
second
thing,
oh,
this
is
good
to
have
this
up
there.
The
second
thing
I
noted
is
the
intro
language
for
section
one
and
two:
it
we're
not
having
all
of
this
section.
L
313-51.1
read
as
follows:
we're
only
amending
subsections
b
and
e
of
that,
and
and
it
doesn't
reference.
L
313-51-1
a
chapter
when
actually
the
chapter
is
313,
and
this
is
section
we're
amending
313-51.1
of
chapter
313
of
part
two
of
the
code,
so
that
was
another
thing.
The
other
thing
I
have
noticed
this
is
kind
of
interesting.
L
This
subsection
b
only
applies
to
violations
of
article
four
and
five,
which
are
litter
and
applies
to
article
four
is
litter:
bacon
lots
is
number
five,
and
that
has
the
stuff
about
noxious
wheat
and
overgrowth,
etc.
It
is
actually
section
313-51
that
has
in
paragraph
in
subsection
or
subdivision
a.
However,
you
want
to
label
it.
L
That
actually
applies
it
to
all
other
lots,
and
that
is
actually
in
a
different
article.
It's
in
article
v,
a
I
don't
know
why
that
got
numbered
that
way,
but
it's
very
clearly
a
different
article
from
article
four
or
five,
so
I
think
that
that
should
also
be
added
in
there.
This
is
apparently
some
you
know,
oversight
again,
I
don't
know
why
he
got
labeled
va,
but
that's
an
issue
section
two
also
has
the
issue
with
regard
to
the
intro
language.
L
With
regard
to
it's
not
we're
actually
amending
section,
258-1
of
article
258
of
part,
2
of
the
cup
city
code,
etc,
so
those
changes
should
be
made
from
a
technical
aspect
of
this,
and
the
final
thing
that
I
had
mentioned
to
owusu
is-
and
I'm
kind
of
curious,
commissioner
and
frank-
the
issue
of
weeds
in
sidewalks,
one
of
the
most
unsightly
things
that
exists
throughout
the
city
and
adds
to
that
feeling
of
blight
is
foot
high,
two
foot
high
weeds
in
the
sidewalk
or
by
city
trees
in
front
of
properties.
L
You
go
down
morton
avenue,
you
know!
That's
one
place,
I
notice
eagle
of
eagles
the
swan
street.
I've
noticed
this,
and
so
so
many
places
you
know
in
arbor,
hill
and
south
end.
So
we
don't.
I
was
thinking
that
it
might
help
you
guys
with
enforcement
and
notice,
and
we
should
be
putting
people
on
notice
of
a
certain
height.
L
I
suggested
six
or
nine
inches
would
be
appropriate
and
I'm
kind
of
wondering
do
you
guys
ever
cite
people
for
weeds
growing
in
the
sidewalk
and
the
pavers
etc
in
front
of
a
building
number
one
and
number
two.
If
so,
what
height
does
something
have
to
get
to
before?
And
you
know,
and
I
think
for
the
council-
it's
like
okay,
so
and
and
do
we
do.
L
E
It's
part:
well,
it's
it's
part
of
the
it's
part
of
that
code.
For
the
five
day,
you
know
the
five
day
notice
for
the
property
of
the
property
maintenance
code.
You
know
the
rear
of
the
prop
in
front
of
the
property
they're
supposed
to
maintain
the
true
wells
in
front.
You
know
the
the
the
right
way
you're
supposed
to
mow
it
and
maintain
free
litter
and
trash.
That's
all
part
of
it.
You.
E
Unfortunately,
we
don't
really
go
that
far.
You
know
we
had
had
some
ideas
this
year
before
covered,
maybe
getting
a
couple
seasonals
and
get
out
there
and
maybe
start
with
the
program,
and
you
know
really
try
to
hit
it
and
then
covet
it
and
the
money
issues
that
the
federal
government.
Everything
else
did.
So
I
I
don't
I
don't
know.
E
Maybe
we
can
try
a
do-over
in
2021,
hopefully,
but
one
of
one
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about,
because
I
agree
with
you
and
very
unsightly
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
when
we
first
started
this
program
and
that
could
happen.
But
the
grades
need
to
be.
We
looked
at
some
of
the
tree.
C
Grades
things
that
we
look
at
technology
out
there
that
prevents
the
weed
from
growing
as
rapid
and
also
have
in
our
traffic
areas,
a
crew
that
goes
out
there
and
actually
looks
at
his
grades,
cleaned
them
up
and
apply
some
of
this
new
technology
which
is
matty.
It's
not
really.
It's
not
really
a
steel,
but
the.
E
Roots,
don't
go
through
and
we'd
go
through,
but
it
happened.
L
C
I
mean
I
I
I
I
would
like
to
see.
None
yeah,
you
look,
you
look
at
you,
know,
scotland,
you
look
at
delaware.
You
look
at
some
of
these.
This
beautiful
area
of
restaurants
and
people
eating
outside,
and
you
see
these
tree
trunk
with
bushes,
going
over
it.
The
business
districts,
don't
even
collect
them
up
so
which
that's
something
that
we
wanted
to
engage
with
as
well,
and
hopefully
the
portal
will
allow
us
to
do
that,
because,
eventually,
what
I
like
to
see
on
the
portal
is
eventually
come.
L
Can
say
that
you
can
help
us
by
doing
this.
You
can
help
us
by
doing
that
yeah,
but
it
really,
for
example,
I
think
when
I
drive
along
ontario
between
madison
and
providence.
L
There
are
you
know
there
are
some
places.
Some
of
them
are
businesses,
and
some
of
them
are
just
rental
properties
where
the
weeds
are
two
feet
high
and
some
of
some
of
them
are
are
trees
and
it's
not
necessarily
in
a
tree.
Well,
it's
growing
up
between
the
cracks
in
the
sidewalk
and
I
just
think
what
a
difference
it
would
make.
L
If
that
was
all
addressed,
a
certain.
A
Well,
kenneth
addressed
in
this
particular
ordinance
and
judy.
I
had
a
question
for
you.
You
said
that
we
should
also
add
a
reference
to
article
roman
numeral.
Eight.
Did
I
hear
that
correctly.
L
A
L
A
F
F
I
know
where
it
needs
to
go.
It's
it's
a
it's
a
the
way
the
code
is
structured
is
very
weird,
so
that's
where
probably
where
the
mishap
happened,
because
what
she's
specifying
is
it's
supposed
to
be?
Like
section
5.1
of
article,
the
a
of
chapter
313
of
part,
two
of
the
code
of
the
city?
That's
what
it's
supposed
to
be
like.
It's.
G
L
J
F
F
L
E
L
J
A
Going
to
say
that
yeah,
because
we
got
a
couple
of
questions
and
then
we
have
waiting
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative
folks.
D
The
city
I
looked
at
the
portal
and
there
was
one
question
there:
when
is
it
good
for
me
to
put
out
my
trash
bags
lawn
waste,
okay
and
say
my
word
the
days
they
pick
it
up
on
tuesday,
wednesday,
the
you
know
the
regular
garbage
pickup,
but
it
always
seems
like-
and
I
know
you
have
problems
now,
because
the
covenant
and
lack
of
you
know
could
be
a
couple
weeks
tonight.
I
welcome
the
idea
that
people
could
drop
their
stuff
off
up
in
north
albany,
but
say
in
my
neighborhood
here.
D
Okay,
we
put
our
trash
out
on
a
wednesday
night
to
be
picked
up
on
thursday
morning,
so
it
used
to
be
presumed
that
sometime
in
that
day,
they
would
also
pick
up
your
even
lawn
waste.
It's
then
it
ended.
Up
being
always,
it
seemed
like
on
a
saturday
and
it
ends
up
having
people
put
out
every
day
of
the
week
and
not
knowing
when
they
should
so.
E
Like
them
to
put
it
out
on
their
trash
day,
if
we
could,
you
know
it's
been
a
little
difficult
because
of
this
we've
been
behind
because
of
the
issues
that
we've
talked
about,
because.
D
E
G
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question
for
sergio
and
frank.
So
in
terms
of
these,
these
instances
of
cleanup
do
you
go
over
the
thousand
dollar
threshold.
E
In
cost,
oh,
what
do
you
mean?
You
mean.
G
So
say
you
go
say
you
go
to
pick
up
a
property,
the
expenses
that
you
incur
via
staff,
trucks,
etc.
Does
that
ever
go
over
the
thousand
dollars.
G
E
C
G
So
I
asked
that
because,
if
we're
talking
about,
like
repeat
offenders
and
we're
really
looking
to
instill
some
punitive,
you
know
things
into
the
mix
that
they
start
taking
care
of
their
property.
E
Well,
right
now,
right
now,
currently
we
would
charge
them.
We
could
charge
them
up
to
500
plus
that
1300
bill,
so
they
would
go
eighteen
hundred
dollars.
M
Councilman,
I
just
wanted
to
circle
back
on
a
point
council
member
conte
made
regarding
the
penalties.
M
I
I
think
I'm
I'm
curious
if
councilmember
inani,
if
you'd
be
willing
to
amend
the
penalties,
porsche
provision
to
have
it
specific
to
this
particular
violation,
because
the
way
I'm
reading
this
as
it
is
now,
we
actually
are
amending
all
the
penalties
for
violations
in
the
city
code
that
aren't
already
specified
in
a
particular
section.
B
M
M
Basically,
just
so,
it's
not
like
right
now,
as
as
I'm
reading
it,
it
looks
like
we're
we're
we're
amending
the
provision,
the
blanket
penalties
provision
at
the
end
of
the
city
code.
Well,
it's
not
really
at
the
end.
It's
it's!
It's
its
own
standalone
chapter
right
now
that
we
would
be
amending
as
opposed
to
the
penalties
provision
within
this
particular
violation
in
313.
M
F
It
will
because
you
have
penalty
violations
for
every
every
different
section,
so
article
one
two
three
like
seven:
they
all
have
their
own
penalties
of
offenses
and
they
have
their
own
progulations.
This
is
this.
The
provision
that
we
were
just
amending
was
just
the
notice
of
violation.
So
if
we
want
to
move
from
chapter
58
to
the
rest
of
313,
we
would
have
to
go
through
every
other
penalty
of
offenses.
G
F
A
A
N
A
Sure
j.r
is
the
principal
host,
so
I
think
he
can
exactly
already
have.
N
N
Okay,
so
everybody
can
see
my
screen
yep
we're
good
to
go
okay,
so
I'm
zach
simpson.
I
am
the
founder
and
program
coordinator
of
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative
program.
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
some
data
that
we
have
collected
as
end
users
of
the
c-click
fix
reporting
tool.
Before
I
do
that,
I
just
want
to
commend
councilman
anani
for
his
ordinance.
I
think
it's
a
it's.
I
I
agree
with
its
spirit.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
tighten
up
things
with
property
owners.
N
So
the
uptown
neighborhood
cooperative,
it's
a
community
collaborative
that
includes
five
neighborhoods,
the
beverage
eagle
hill
melrose
pine
bush
in
the
upper
washington
avenue
neighborhoods.
Our
first
official
meeting
kicked
off
may
of
2020.
N
N
The
purpose
of
our
program
is
to
help
residents
address
a
lot
of
the
issues
like
code
violations.
You
know
problems
that
you
see
within
the
neighborhood
and
we'll
talk
about
that
next
slide.
N
So
we
really
you
know
during
covet
19.
I
know
that
personally,
I
walked
every
day
in
my
neighborhood
and
others,
and
this
was
something
I
kind
of
harnessed
with
our
program-
is
to
encourage
others
to
not
just
walk
in
your
neighborhood
walk
into
other
neighborhoods
and
just
look
around
focus
on
things
that
don't
look
right
and
things
that
are
c-click
fixable.
N
So
we
look
for
all
types
of
things
like
unsafe
buildings,
property
overgrowth,
which
is
very
relevant
tonight,
graffiti
streetlight
issues
being
out
or
flickering.
We
look
for
problematic
sidewalks.
We
look
for
sinkholes
things
with.
You
know,
issues
with
trash,
potholes,
big
or
small
issues,
with
trees
and
and
many
more
before
I
started
this
program
which,
just
so
you
know
it
started
as
a
three
neighborhood-wide
program
became
five.
In
june
I
looked
at
a
lot
of
the
current
c-click
fix
tickets
that
were
out
there
and
I
was
concerned.
N
I
actually
did
a
full
review
of
all
three
neighborhoods
and
all
the
c-click-fix
tickets
that
were
out
there,
and
I
saw
some
issues
so
I
was
prepared.
So
I
decided
before
I
started
collecting
data
with
our
program.
I
was
going
to
create
a
real,
robust,
excel
spreadsheet,
color-coded,
keeping
real
track
like
finger
on
the
pulse
of
every
specific
issue
that
was
reported
through
our
program,
the
address
that
where
was
reported,
the
unique
ticket
id
that's
assigned
to
it.
N
What
neighborhood
it
was
reported
in
the
data
which
was
reported,
the
date
was
acknowledged,
the
date
it's
been
resolved
or
or
not.
So
I'm
going
to
present
some
of
that
data
tonight.
N
You
know
every
month,
every
month
since
since
june,
I've
been
releasing
a
c-click
fix
progress
report
I
close
out
at
a
specific
date
every
month
and
it
kind
of
gauges
how
the
city
is
doing
from
the
end
user
perspective,
not
dgs,
not
you
know.
If
the
end
users,
and
as
of
august
9th,
we
have
submitted
403
c
clicked
fixed
tickets
in
our
program,
which
is
a
lot
so
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
the
latest
report
we
released.
It
was
an
august
9th
I'll
get
my
little
pointer
here.
N
So
if
you
look
across
the
top,
we
have
our
five
different
neighborhoods
and
then
you
know
you
look
the
next
line
we
have
our
potholes
beverwick
is
actually
doing
quite
well.
N
Congratulations
alfredo,
but
there's
other
issues
in
other
neighborhoods
with
potholes,
but
based
on
what
I'm
seeing
dgs
you
know
they
get
a
pothole,
they
fill
it.
They
close
it
out
in
about
three
weeks
to
a
month,
sidewalk
repair.
You
know.
N
Either
it's
deemed
it's
not,
it
doesn't
need
any
fixing
and
it's
it's
closed
or
they
determine
that
a
tripping
point
needs
to
get
repaired
and
they
do
that
or
they
they
just
put
it
on
the
sidewalk
replacement
list.
Now
these
two
next
areas
here
they're
important
for
tonight,
because
they
focus
on
property
overgrowth.
N
If
you
look
across,
we
have,
I
think
we
have
about
41
issues
of
property.
Overgrowth
out
of
the
403.
N
N
So
when
we
released
our
first
report
for
c-click
fix
the
issue,
resolution
rate
for
the
city
of
auburn
is
about
3.49
and
then
every
and
then
two
weeks
later
we
had
our
meeting
and
I
do
a
revised
report
for
every
meeting.
N
It
was
4.65
and
then
in
the
next
meeting
the
next
flyer
we
sent
out,
I
was
about
17.4
and
then
it
went
up
to
30.32
in
the
latest
report,
which
was
on
the
previous
screen.
The
city
is
up
to
36.32,
so
it's
it's
doing
better.
N
And
this
next
slide
shows
you.
The
total
number
of
c
click
fix
tickets
that
we
have
submitted
through
the
program
and
as
as
you
see,
there
was
a
bit
of
a
spike
here,
and
that
was
because
we
actually
annexed
eagle
hill
and
pine
bush,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
issues
that
came
in
during
this
time
period.
N
Issues
so
let's
focus
first
on
the
trash
issues,
so
I
pulled
out
data
for
just
trash,
there's,
11,
total
out
of
403
and
pretty
much.
They
have
focused
on
beverwick
and
upper
washington.
The
other
three
neighborhoods
didn't
have
any
issues,
but
the
next
part
I
just
want
to
focus
in
so
we
have
11
issues
total.
N
N
The
ticket
is
closed.
That's
the
ideal
scenario,
but
then
you
start
seeing
three
other
things
happening
with
c
click
fix.
You
see,
you
submit
a
c
click
fix
ticket,
it's
acknowledged,
the
property
is
inspected
and
then
there's
no
update,
nothing,
nothing
for
the
end
user.
The
person
actually
took
the
time
to
submit
this
ticket.
N
N
So
this
is,
you
submit
a
c-click
fix
ticket,
it's
acknowledged,
location
is
inspected
and
the
ticket
is
closed.
This
was
in
the
beverage
neighborhood
the
date
in
which
it
was
submitted
was
june.
9Th
there
was
an
issue
with
trash
piled
up
on
a
porch.
N
N
This
is
that
second
scenario:
you
submit
a
c
click
ticket
fix
ticket,
it's
acknowledged,
and
then
it's
inspect
and
there's
no
update
the
last
update
on
this
ticket
here,
which
was
an
issue
with
it,
looks
like
a
concrete
slab
that
was
just
dropped
there.
Three
years
ago
july,
6th
six
weeks,
no
update,
here's
another
issue,
you
submit
a
c
click
fix
ticket,
the
ticket
is
acknowledged,
it's
inspected
and
posted
and
there's
no
update
this
one
was
acknowledged
and
on
the
11th
june
11th
it
was
posted,
no
update
and
here's
the
final
one.
N
N
Acknowledged
so
what
I
did
was
because
the
scenarios
two
through
four
there's
no
real
close
out,
there's
no
close
out.
So
I
took
the
data
I
had
for
scenario
one
and
I
looked
at
how
the
quickest
it
got
resolved
the
highest
it
got
resolved
in
the
average.
So
the
time
elapsed
from
the
date
of
the
issue
was
submitted
to
the
date.
The
issue
was
closed.
The
lowest
was
four
days
the
highest
was
30
and
the
average
is
20.
N
So,
let's
move
on
to
property
overgrowth,
which
is
a
you
know,
it's
a
larger
sample
size
41
out
of
403
about
you
know
what
10
percent
somewhere
in
there
again
beverwick
had
14
eagle
hill
had
zero
melrose
had
nine
pine
bush
had
two
upper
washington
had
16
and
the
issue
resolution
rate
for
overgrowth
is
19.51.
N
So
again
this
is
a
larger
sample
size
but
we're
seeing
kind
of
the
same
problems
with
the
scenarios.
First
scenario,
which
is
see,
click
fix
working
as
designed
exp.
You
know
this
is
what
you
expect.
As
an
end
user
of
this
program,
you
submit
a
c-click
fix
ticket,
it's
acknowledged
location
is
expected
and
it's
closed.
N
N
N
N
So
here's
a
real
example
of
the
c-click
fix
ticket
system
working
as
designed
you
submit
a
ticket.
It's
acknowledged,
it's
inspected
it's
closed.
This
was
one
in
the
upper
washington
neighborhood
overgrowth
of
lawn
submitted
on
the
2nd
of
june,
actually
got
acknowledged
a
day
a
day
later
and
then
got
resolved
about
20
days
later
the
property
had
been
cleared.
N
Number
two:
you
submit
a
c
quick
fix
ticket,
it's
acknowledged
and
it's
inspected
and
posted
no
update.
So
this
was
one
in
beverwick
where
it
was
an
overgrowth
issue
submitted
on
the
8th
of
june,
acknowledged
33
days
later
inspected
about
a
month
later,
based
on
c-click-fix
data,
and
there
was
no
resolution.
N
N
And
then
the
final
scenario
you
submit
a
ticket-
it's
acknowledged-
oh
I'm,
sorry,
never
acknowledged,
never
acknowledged.
May
27th
never
acknowledged.
I
even
asked
a
month
later
for
acknowledgement,
never
got
acknowledged.
N
So
I
just
want
to
hit
on
five
recommendations.
I
have
right
now
for
c
click
fix
based
on
me
really
looking
at
as
an
end
user,
how
it's
working
number
one.
I
do
believe
all
departments,
utilize
c-click,
fix
in
a
uniform
way.
It's
not
happening
right
now,
for
example,
traffic
and
engineering.
N
They
don't
acknowledge
most
of
my
secret
fix
tickets.
I
don't
know
why,
which
creates
a
lot
of
uncertainty
for
me
as
an
end
user
number
two,
when
a
property
is
inspected
and
posted
by
the
city,
the
c-click
fix
tickets
should
be
updated
across
the
board
with
the
final
resolution.
N
Instead
of
no
update
and
number
three
instances
where
there
is
no
acknowledgement
of
a
ticket
is
really
bad
should
always
be
avoided
and
number
four
one
thing.
I've
noticed
is
that
sidewalks,
be
it
like
with
a
tripping
point
or
on
these?
It
needs
a
patch
there's
instances
where
that
is
being
done,
but
it's
not
being
updated
in
the
tickets,
and
I
think
that's
important
to
show
people
that
you
know
you
submit
a
ticket.
N
Something
is
being
done
on
which
which
what
you're,
what
you're
complaining
about
and
then
a
five-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
case,
but
if
it
is
feasible,
I
think
the
city
should
develop
an
internal
issues,
tracking
system
to
import
the
data
from
c
click
fix
and
manage
it
in
a
better
way.
A
Okay,
does
anyone
have
any
questions
for
zach?
I
guess
my
question
to
sergio
and
frank
would
be:
could
they
encore,
obviously
zach's
in
the
uptown
system?
Here
only
takes
a
little
piece
of
albany.
A
Is
there
any
way
of
tracking
data
city-wide
to
kind
of
you
know,
figure
out
how
to
address
the
glitches
that
may
come
up
where
a
ticket
is
basically
never
fully
resolved?
So
I
guess
that's
my
question
to
the
dgs
folks
and
then
anyone
else
any
other
council
members.
If
they
have
any
questions
and
zach,
you
presented
your
actual
excel
sheets,
which
I
attempted
to
send
to
every
ev
everybody
so
and
you're
going
to
continue
where
your
group
is
going
to
continue
this
process
for
the
foreseeable
future.
I
would
assume.
N
Absolutely
absolutely
and
the
idea
of
a
downtown
neighborhood
cooperative
is
in
the
works.
A
Okay,
so
sergio
and
frank
and
any
suggestions
or
comments.
E
Well,
I
think
we
would
welcome
a
discussion
of
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
this
and
I'm
seeing
some
things
that
I
kind
of
don't
add
up.
I've
got
numbers
that
don't
jive
with
these
numbers.
I've
got
a
lot
of
questions
that
have
come
up,
so
I
think
I
would
want
to
to,
I
think,
get
some
answers
to
be
able
to
figure
some
things
out.
E
As
always,
I
think,
with
any
with
anything,
there's
always
there's
room
for
improvement,
and
I
think
that
also,
I
think
that
there's
communication
ways
we
can
communicate
better.
Hence
the
reason
why
the
portal
is
out
there.
I
think
if
people
have
better
information,
they
may
do
things
better,
and
maybe
we
can
avoid
some
of
these
issues
and
that's
part
of
what
I
think
is
trying
to
do
tonight,
and
I
think
we
can
do
that.
There's
a
lot
of
things,
there's
a
lot
of
things.
C
N
So
let's
talk
about
potholes,
so
I
work
up
in
columbia.
Circle!
Yes,
and
there's
columbia,
circle,
columbia,
circle,
west,
columbia,
circle,
east!
Are
they
all
maintained
by
the
city
of
albany.
N
E
And
did
you
at
any
point
when
you
felt
you
weren't
getting
a
response?
Did
you
ever
send
an
email
possibly
or
make
a
phone
call
to
talk
to
anybody?
Okay,.
E
All
right
so
I
mean
there
are
ways
there
are
things
that
will
fall
through
the
cracks.
We
get
a
lot
of
calls.
A
lot
of
potholes
come
in
again
limited
resources,
a
lot
going
on
with
a
lot
going
on
with
cobin.
As
you
know,
you've
recently
put
a
lot
of
potholes
in
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
at
one
point,
you
found
200
locations
in
one
day.
E
So
in
order
for
us
to
either
100
locations
in
one
day
you
know
sometimes
you
know
it
takes
a
while
to
get
out
there
for
our
guys
who
out
there
look
at
them
and
things.
If
you
see
something
and
you
see
something
falling
through
the
cracks,
give
us
a
call,
you
know
what
email
mom
email
us,
let
us
know,
and
then
sometimes
something
will
fall
through
and
we
will
take
care
of
it.
C
Just
for
the
record,
I
look
at
the
data
analysis
almost
daily.
We
are
now
at
71
percent
of
pothole
last
year.
This
time
we
so
the
the
workforce
is
impacted,
our
ability
to
perform
duties.
Last
time
I
looked,
it
was
7
898
potholes
that
were
filled
that
would
receive
through.
C
The
decoded
the
workforce
restrictions
to
prevent
us
from
spreading
the
cold
aid
which
we
went
from
30
percent
loss
of
workforce
went
to
40
percent
result
by
the
governor
60
percent
worth
of
lost
workforce
has
had
an
impact.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
was
telling
frank
the
other
day.
I
was
looking
comparison
because
we're
closing
out
third
quarter
now
compared
to
up
third
floor
left
here.
It
kind
of
makes
me
cry
because
our
performance
is
not
up
there
as
it
were,
should
be.
A
C
Updates
we're
doing
it
on
a
monthly
basis,
figure
out
how
many
potholes,
how
many
complaints?
How
many
click
clicks?
That
close?
We
can
send
you
that,
but
that's
what
I
usually
gauge
gauge
my
thing
and
the
loss
of
manpower
has
really
impacted
our
ability
to
perform.
At
the
same
time,.
A
L
Mike
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
richard
says
that
the
common
council
should
never
have
to
foil
anything,
but
data
that
is
collected
by
any
government
agency
of
that
kind
of
nature
is
automatically
accessible
to
the
entire
public
via
freedom
of
information
law.
It's
you
know,
it's
not
an
opinion.
It's
they're
collecting
and
tracking
data.
So
you
know.
L
I
don't
think
that
we
should.
There
should
be
any
question
that
we
should
be
provided
with
that
information.
A
L
L
So
zach
thanks
very
much
for
your
analysis.
I
I
have
created
a
watch
area
for
my
entire
ward,
so
I
see
you
know
every
single
item
that
is
complained
about
and
its
acknowledgment
and
I
will
say
in
my
ward,
I
rarely
see
anything
saying
this
has
been
closed
or
followed
up
on
now.
My
neighborhood
associations
are
not
doing
what
you're
doing,
but
you
know
whether
the
work
is
being
done
or
not
is
one
issue
but
the
but.
L
Issue
is
the
frustration
of
people
having
bothered
to
report
things
and
then
none
of
us
knowing
whether
the
lack
of
an
entry
means
it
hasn't
been
done,
nothing's
been
done
about
it
or
that
the
work
might
have
been
done,
and
so
often
I
I
I
don't
do
anything
with
most
of
those
kinds
of
entries.
I
just
kind
of
monitor
it,
but
when
I
see
a
follow-up,
you
know
a
month
later
from
somebody
expressing
frustration
that
something
is
not
being
taken
care
of,
then
I
know
that
it's
still
open.
L
L
Want
to
emphasize
what
you're
saying
that
the
the
follow
up
the
reliable
follow-up
in
entries
on
secret
fix
on
a
timely
basis
would
be
very
helpful
and
I
think
it's
very
frustrating
to
members
of
the
public.
L
A
lot
of
the
members
of
the
public
are
going
to
know
that
something
was
taken
care
of,
but
I
think
that
other
people
want
to
know
that
there
has
been
some
sort
of
response
to
things
and
I
want
to
say
I
got
so
many
sarcastic
snippy
remarks
from
the
series
of
c-click
fixes
that
were
just
closed
within
the
last
month
about
sidewalks
not
being
shoveled,
and
I
mean
people
were
just
kind
of
up
in
arms
because
it
was
acknowledged.
It
was
under
review
and
nothing
else
was
ever
done
about.
L
You
know
said
about
it
and
then
all
sudden
it's
closed,
and
there
was
about,
I
don't
know
10
or
10
of
them
that
were
closed
and
whether
it
was
you
know,
snowplowing
a
particular
street
that
needed
to
be
better.
L
A
lot
of
them
were
sidewalks,
not
being
shoveled,
and
so
I
think
that
we
want
this
particular
people
to
believe
in
this
particular
program
and
report
things
in
this
way
and
feel
like
they
are
going
to
be
followed
up
on
and
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
response,
and
so-
and
this
has
been-
this
is
not
just
a
covet
issue.
This
has
been
an
issue
for
most
of
my
time.
You
know
on
the
common
council,
where
people
are
frustrated
in
not
knowing
what,
if
anything
is
being
done
about
particular
issues.
L
Potholes
not
being
filled,
you
know,
is
an
issue
that
I've
had
complaints
about
for
many
years
and
and
then
you
know,
I
can
list
other
things,
and
I
understand
that.
There's
a
lot
of
things
to
be
addressed
in
the
city,
and
it
would
be
really
helpful
if
we
had
our
landlords
taking
seriously
their
obligations
and
which
is
why
I
think
awusu's
legislation
to
increase
the
fines
and
to
tighten
up
the.
G
L
Time
frames
etc
is
a
great
move,
and
thanks
for
putting
that
on
the
agenda.
A
Council
member
fahey
has
her
hand
up.
Is
it
cassie.
H
Thanks
mike
zach,
I
think
this
kind
of
information
can
be
very,
very
helpful,
this
kind
of
data-
and
you
know
using
it
to
move
forward.
I
I
think
it's
really
difficult
to
to
evaluate
what's
going
on
this
year,
given
all
that's
going
on
in
our
community,
I
almost
would
rather
see
it
in
a
future
year
where
things
are
a
little
bit
back
to
normal.
H
So,
but
it's
you
know,
and
I'd
also
like
to
see
it
you're
working
more
closely
with
department
general
services
to
have
some
of
these
conversations,
because
I
think
you
know
perhaps
they
can
use
some
of
the
methods
that
you
use.
Possibly
those
conversations,
I
think,
are
important.
D
Well,
first
of
all,
zach
you
did
a
good
job
on
that.
Okay,
I
think
it
was
a
tough
time
that
you
were
doing
it
through.
Okay
and
I'd
like
to
thank
frank
for
and
sergio
for
coming
up
with
that
portal,
I
think
it
will
hopefully
work
much
better
and
I
hope
it
doesn't
fall
to
the
wayside
similar
to
what
we
used
to
get
from
the
apd
we
used
to
get
weekly
or
monthly
crime
reports.
We
don't
get
them
at
all
anymore,
and
that
should
never
happen.
D
I
don't
think
it
will
okay,
but
thank
you
and
thank
every
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
workers
of
dgs
for
doing
what
they
can
with
the
numbers
that
they
have
they've
done
a
great
job.
Thank
you.
A
So
we
have
a
quick
question.
Oh
sorry,
oh,
do
we
have
any
members
of
the
public
who
sent
letters
or
want
to
comment
jr?
Do
you
know
whether
we
do.
A
B
I'm
gonna
ask
really
quick
we're
going
to
see
click
fix
dj,
how
many
people
work
on
c
click
fix?
Is
it
one
person
or
is
it
multiple
people
who
are
you
know,
working
with
a
c
click
fix.
E
It's
it's
mainly
one
person,
molly
gets
the
c
click
fixes
that
comes
from
the
outside
and
distributes
them
where
they
need
to
go.
There
are
a
couple
people
that
will
actually
close
some
things
out
and
have
access
to
it,
but
it's
the
way
that
our
our
supervisors
and
our
workforce
don't
all,
have
access
to
computers
and
have
access
to
systems.
So
it's
very
difficult
with
the
way
that
our
system
is
and
the
way
that
our
people
work
for
them.
To
do
that,
we
have
a.
We
have
to
schedule
things
out.
E
E
Your
issues
come
where
something
gets
complete
and
it
doesn't
get
completed
in
the
system
for
a
while,
but
it's
been
done.
Okay,
there's
some
see,
there's
some
secret
fix
issues
with
secret
fix
that
we've
been
back
and
forth
with
where
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
updates
to
their
program
that
I
wish
that
they
would
do
yeah.
E
They
were
supposed
to
do
a
conference
with
them
actually
to
do
to
talk
about
some
changes
and
they
cancel
it
to
covet
so,
but
I
think
that
there's
some
things
that
you
know
some
of
the
numbers
you
know
I
just
there's
the
only
one
of
the
only
ways
that
we
can
keep
things
up
is
internal
comments
and
there's
there's
there's
an
entire
archiving
system
with
the
comments.
E
Stop
that
the
end
user
cannot
see.
If,
if
a
comment
stops,
if
a
two
week
period
comes
up
after
the
last
comment,
it
and
it's
closed,
it
archives
it
and
that's
something
that
an
end
user
cannot
say
you
have
to
be
on
the
internal
part.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
the
system
doesn't
do
that.
We
I
think
that
we're
evolving
and
I
think
it
would
make
it
easier
if
it
did
do
it
right.
E
So
there's
things
that
we
need
to
continue
to
look
at,
and
I
think
that's
part
of
some
of
some
of
the
problems
that
we
see.
But
you
know
we
take
it.
So
a
lot
of
this
stuff
may
get
done
and
it's
just
not
getting
closed
out.
So
we're
trying
to
work
for
more
get
more
people
trained
using
ipads
using
you
know,
whatever
they
have
available
to
close
things
out
and
be
able
to
access
the
comment
section.
B
Yeah-
and
I
just
want
to
say
you
know,
I
think
about
my
dad-
you
know
growing
up
whenever
I
do
my
homework
out.
You
know
I
tell
them
I'm
you
know,
and
I
think
that
you
know
it's
a
sense
of
pride.
You
know,
especially
on
the
city
part.
If
we
fill
a
pothole,
we
should
acknowledge
it.
I
mean
it's
as
simple,
as
that
like
it
should
be,
it
should
be
incentive.
B
I
A
A
Okay
and
council
member
alfredo,
has
to
stand
up
now,
for
you.
K
Thank
you,
professional
performance.
I
apologize
if
this
question
has
already
been
asked.
I
got
kicked
off
the
last
few
minutes.
One
thing
you
know
I
I
totally
understand
that
covert
has
made
this
a
much
more
difficult
situation.
I
can
expect
that.
I
also
understand
that
you
know
it's.
It's
been
tougher
to
get
manpower
to
do
the
job
that's
needed.
K
I
think
what
I
would
like
to
know
is
what
is
needed
so
that
we
can
get
these
issues
addressed,
because
these
have
been
a
problem
in
the
past.
You
know-
and
I
think
maybe,
if
we
really
clear
pictures
what
dgs
needs
you
know,
how
can
we
address
it
beyond
what
we're
dealing
with
now
you're
down
40
people?
We
get
that.
K
So
what
well
two
things
one:
what
is
it
that
we're
paying
our
staff
so
low
I'll
say
it
again?
I
I've
said
I
said
a
couple
of
meetings
now
that
we're
paying
our
staff
so
low
that
they're
better
off
on
unemployment,
so
where's
the
data
that
you
can
give
us.
It
shows
what
other
municipalities
are
paying
and
maybe
we
should
be
paying
our
our
staff
members
to
have
this
issue,
and
what
is
the
funding
that
you
need?
You
know
now
is
the
time
you
know
we're
going
into
the
budget
season,
not
the
time
to.
K
Let
us
know
what
what
is
it
that
would
be
needed
these
concerns
so
that
we're
not
having
these
conversations
yeah
and
again,
I
am
I'm
not
upset
of
people
on
the
ground,
because
you
know
I
think,
when
you're
40
under
you
know
it's
tough.
So
then
what
is
it
that
we
can
do
to
make
sure
that
these
these
issues
get
corrected
sooner
rather
than
later.
C
Well,
that's
a
that's
a
very
broad
question.
Today
I
had
today
I
had
a
meeting
with
our
legal
counsel
about
some
things
that
we
could
do
on
our
new
upcoming
contractual
bargaining
agreement.
As
you
know,
we're
union
shop
we
have
to
be
following
with
the
contract.
C
We
talked
to
legal
counsel
today
about
some
ideas
and
how
do
things
do
things
better?
Djs,
certainly
incentive
payment
incentive
is
definitely
a
plus.
I
don't
think
we're
we're
that
far
off
from
our
our
surrounding
communities,
but
we
are
off
also
one
of
the
things
that
we
to
answer
your
question.
It
takes
some
multiple
components:
it's
not
just
money.
We
have
we.
I
I
believe
that
in
the
last
two
years
we
have
shifted
enough
personnel
to
minimize
the
impact.
C
At
one
time
we
were
out
68
people
72
people
at
the
peak
of
the
kobe.
That's
that's
one
third
of
our
workforce.
Well,
one
time
for
two
months,
for
eight
weeks,
all
we
were
doing
was
collecting
garbage
and
collecting
recycling.
We
weren't
doing
anything
in
the
box.
We
weren't
doing
anything
else.
C
Year,
but
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
in
the
process,
including
compensation.
Look
at
some
compensation.
Look
at
some
training.
Our
workforce
is
an
older
workforce.
Once
you
put
a
you,
give
them
a
an
ipad
in
front
of
their
eyes.
They
panic
it's.
That
generation
like
who
says
father.
You
know
you
put
a
you,
put
an
ipad
and
put
up
from
an
older
guy
and
you
they
used
to
do
things
in
papers
with
something
difficult
for
us
to
attract
information.
So
your
answer.
C
It's
now
one
particular
thing:
it's
not
just
money,
it's
not
just
it's
just
that.
I
I
believe
that
we're
made
progressive
steps
to
make
things
better.
We
looked
at
some
shifts.
We
reassigned
employee
and
personnel
and
some
things
that
got
better,
and
then
you
know
this.
This
is
a
terrible
year.
A
Okay,
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
start
wrapping
up.
I
believe,
there's
been
some
amendments
proposed
and
j.r.
Could
you
just
put
screen
share
the
amendments
and
explain
them
for
us.
F
Sure
can
so
I
made
the
amendments
regarding
the
receiving
a
complaint
which
says
right
here
upon
receiving
a
complaint,
including,
but
not
limited,
to
see,
click
fix
just
and
then
amendments
with
business
days
as
opposed
to
calendar
days.
Okay,
I
struck.
I
took
out,
I
striked
out
chapter
258
and
created
penalties
as
per
the
sponsor
regarding
litter
and
vacant
lots.
F
So
now
we
are
amending
section
313
44
of
article
4,
which
is
titled
litter
of
chapter
313,
which
is
their
penalties
offense,
which
referred
back
to
chapter
5
258
of
the
code,
struck
it
out
and
put
in
a
thousand
dollars
that
shall
not
exceed
a
thousand
dollars
in
the
amount
or
by
imprisonment
not
exceeding
15
days
or
both,
and
it's
the
same
thing
for
vacant
lots,
as
in
section
313-49
of
article
5
vacant
lots
of
chapter
313.
It
is
the
mirror
language
as
above
for
litter.
A
Okay
to
my
recollection,
that
does
complete
all
the
amendments
which
were
discussed.
Any
other
comment
on
on
that.
Or
does
anyone
want
to
make
a
motion
for
the
to
approve
those
amendments,
and
does
anyone
want
to
make
a
motion
to
make
a
recommendation?
A
L
I
can
I
jump
in
there
sure
so
notice
again
we're
only
dealing
with
litter
and
vacant
lots.
You
know
changes
that
affect
that.
L
A
F
Councilwoman
dolce
is
actually
incorrect
when
you're
talking
about
the
the
cost
of
abatements.
Are
you
talking
about
the
fines
separate
from
the
administrative
fee,
or
are
you
talking
about
fines
in
terms
of
the
violation
that,
because
those
are
two
different
things
and
what
what
what
we're
trying?
What
we've
been
establishing
before
the
thousand
dollars
that
refers
back
to
chapter
258,
but
they
go
under
the
provisions
of
44
and
49
of
313
of
those
respective
articles.

richard
and
I
were
texting

be
done.
I
was

using
the

Would
make
that
motion,
but
I
want
to
vote
it
out
with
a
favorable
recommendation
and
then
we'll
make
that
amendment
before
it
gets
voted
on.
Come

There's
a

on
the

was

go
mike.
Okay,.

A
We've
had
a
discussion
all
those
in
favor
hi,
hi
hi,
it's
unanimous
for
in
favor.
B
Yeah,
just
really
quick,
commissioner,
can
you
just
talk
about,
and
this
is
a
question
I've
been
asking
other
department,
the
police
chief
came
to
speak
and
I
asked
him
the
same
thing
and
these
challenging
times
that
we're
in
or
just
overall
what
is
the
morale
in
your.
C
Briefly,
we
had
a
high,
we
had
a
high
around
then
all
sudden
it
started
going
down
and
it's
fun
part
of
it,
because
the
the
troops
feel
unappreciated.
C
Some
of
the
troops
are
watching
these.
These
meetings
they're
aware
of
some
of
the
comments
that
are
being
said
about
the
department
specifically
and
and
they're.
Not
it's
not
helping,
also
they're
getting
beat
up,
because
we
have
a
staff
shortage
of
44
people.
C
Everybody's
got
a
good
download
and
then
some
I
plan
to
to
have
go
back
to
a
regular
meeting
session
september.
1St
I've
told
the
staff
that
we
will
have
more
meetings,
discuss
specific,
but
morale.
Is
it
it's
it's
not
as
good
as
it
was
eight
months
ago.
I'm
gonna
say
that,
and
I'm
just
gonna
leave
it
at
that.
A
Okay,
is
there,
do
I
hear
a
motion
to
adjourn
our.
B
A
Second,
all
in
favor
aye,
aye
aye.
I
think
that
is
unanimous.
So
thank
you
for
everybody
who
participated
and.
