Description
The Committee reviewed Local Law N of 2020, Ordinance 23.101.20, and Ordinance 45.122.19.
A
A
I'm
trying
to
think
what
we're
missing
here.
Let's
see
no
sonia
and
no
michael
bryan
if
they
come
in
and
brett
brett
williams
is
here
brent.
I
ask
you
to
come
in
because
when
kelly
is
signing
this,
he
just
said
law.
I
did
it.
I
did
it
years
ago.
I
believe,
but
I
didn't
know
there
might
be
questions
in
public
comment
tonight
or
is
there
anybody
signed
up
for
public
comment
yet
yeah?
No,
yes
and.
A
D
Hit
the
ladder
yeah
so
chapter
363
of
the
code
deals
with
vendors
363.9
specifically
deals
with
door-to-door
vendors
and
sub-section
c
thereof,
makes
kind
of
an
oblique
reference
to
licenses
and
states
that,
in
order
to
get
a
license
to
then
door-to-door
an
applicant
must
consent.
To
a
background
check,
this
request
came
to
my
office.
I
think
from
danielle
she
had
had
several
people
come
in
inquiring
about
door-to-door
vendor
licenses.
As
I
understand
it,.
E
D
Do
our
background
checks
through
the
department
of
criminal
justice
services
or
dcjs
somewhere
along
the
line?
Dcjs
made
us
aware
that
our
current
law
is
insufficient.
It
doesn't
meet
the
requirements
and
since
it
doesn't
meet
the
requirements,
they've
warned
us
that
they're
not
going
to
continue
to
process
background
checks
for
us,
but
they
did
fortunately
send
us
a
list
of
requirements
of
what
they
want
to
see
in
a
local
law.
D
D
Historically
chapter
363
has
been
amended
by
ordinance,
but
all
the
dcgs
literature
on
this
refers
to
a
local
law
and
they
specifically
require
proof
that
the
local
law
has
been
filed
with
the
secretary
secretary
of
state's
office.
So
that's
why
it's
being
done
as
a
local
law
this
time
around,
rather
than
as
an
ordinance?
D
A
D
A
B
A
B
B
F
A
E
G
D
A
A
A
A
A
E
Know
if
you
acknowledge
judy's
on
with
us
right
now,
I
did
okay,
guys
we're
raising
her
hand
yeah.
So
we
we
passed
this
last
september.
We
put
a
two-year
sunset
on
it,
because
people
are
kind
of
nervous.
This
is
a
big
step
for
the
city
albany
back
in
2010.
I
believe
it
was
vetoed
by
the
mayor
and
they
did
not
do
an
override.
E
I,
from
what
I've
heard
there
hasn't
been
too
many
complaints,
some
minor
stuff-
and
I
looked
at
the
report
that
michelle
sent
out,
looks
like
we've
issued
16
permits
with
74
hens.
So
we
feel
that
owusu
and
judy-
and
I
felt
that
you
know,
let's
try
to
make
this
a
permanent,
and
you
know
if
there
is
problems
that
come
down
the
future.
We
can
always.
E
G
Yeah
and
we've
come
nowhere
close
to
that
16.
I
I
thought
we
set
like
a
75
limit
for
the
whole
75
yeah
and
we've
come
to
16,
I'm
I'm
only
aware
of
one.
In
my
word.
I
got
a
notification
of
one,
and
that
was
shortly
after
we
passed
it.
That
was
on
rap
road.
I've
heard
no
complaints,
so
if
they're
yeah,
because
I
thought
they
were
passing
to
us
all
the
applications
in
case
we
had
a
problem
within
our
warden.
I
didn't
so
I'm.
H
I
also
I
I
mentioned
this
last
time,
but
I
I
think
it's
important
to
actually
realize
that
this
doesn't
just
allow
hens.
It
also
creates
a
process
if
hens
are
not
being
kept
appropriately,
because
I
don't
have
any
of
my
ward,
but
I
did
have
somebody
that
was
trying
to
keep
hens
and
like
cat.
How
was
it
like?
You
know
the
cat
storage
cat
carriers,
that
I
don't
have
cats
and
it
it
just.
It
was
not
a
good
situation
for
the
hens
and
I
believe
that
those
pens
ended
up
with
scott.
H
So
thank
you,
scott
for
taking
those,
but
it
because
of
this
legislation.
There
was
actually
a
process
on
what
could
happen
with
them.
What
was
okay
and
what
wasn't
okay
and
there
were
some
standards,
and
so
it
it
actually
helps
on
both
sides.
It
protects
the
hens
and
it
gives
the
you
know:
people
an
ability
to
have
them.
A
I
And
and
and
that
you
know,
I
asked
the
question
as
to
whether
or
not
there
were
any
recommendations
for
any
changes.
You
know
based
upon
our
experience
today
and
he's
indicating
that
he
thinks
that
this
is
good
legislation
and
he
doesn't
feel
the
need
for
any
changes
to
what
we
have
done
in
the
past.
A
J
No
tom
just
asked
me
to
come
into
the
meeting
and
answer
any
questions.
I'm
sorry
that
anybody
might
have
it's
been
working
well.
On
our
end,
we've
had
a
mou
with
the
city
about
ways
to
handle
sorry
delinquent
hens
or
hens
that
are
out
of
compliance
or
ones
that
are
not
permitted,
and
just
that
one
instance
that
jimmy
farrell
mentioned
where
there
were
some
that
were
brought
over
by
the
animal
control,
and
we
made
some
modifications
to
the
mou
based
on
that.
But
that
was
the
only
instance.
G
B
B
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
echo
some
of
the
sentiment
that
my
colleagues
made
specifically
with
tom
hobie,
especially
in
this
challenging
time
that
we're
in
there
are
individuals
who
are
trying
to
grow
their
own
food.
Many
of
us
don't
feel
comfortable
going
to
some
of
the
big
chains,
grocery
stores
that
we
have
here,
particularly
we
look
at
market
32
or
even
going
to
walmart
individuals
like
to
have
their
own
source
of
food
being
produced
right
in
their
backyard.
B
So
I'm
just
glad
that
you
know
we
we
did
the
pilot
and
the
results
is.
You
know
it's
not
surprising
to
me
specifically,
but
I
think
that
this
is
about
addressing
some
disparities,
particularly
in
communities
that
are
having
food
deserts,
but
I
think
making
a
permit
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
I
wholeheartedly
support
making
this
permanent
it's
going
to
change
lives
and
it
has
already
changed
lives
already.
B
There
are
individuals
who
are
struggling
and
because
of
having
this
piece
of
legislation
go
through,
it
was
able
to
help
individuals,
as
relates
to
their
food
source.
I
know
there
are
some
people
who
are
in
opposition
to
it,
but
I'm
glad
that
we
have
data
to
support
that
this
has
not
been
a
barrier
to
anyone,
and
these
type
of
legislations
is
what
make
this
city
the
envy
of
the
capital
region.
So
I
just
want
to
you
know
thank
judy.
B
A
E
K
So
there's
a
problem,
an
inconsistency
you
might
say
when
you
have
a
snow
emergency
and
you
declare
the
availability
of
parking,
but
there's
also
a
special
event
going
on
that
utilizes
that
very
those
various
areas
for
the
event
and
then
would
prevent
residents
from
being
able
to
use
that.
So
in
my
the
the
issue
here
is
the
the
light
show
in
the
park.
Capitol
hills,
light
show,
and
it's
it's
only
happened.
K
I
think
twice
during
my
time
on
the
council
once
during
the
jennings
administration,
where
we
had
a
declared
snow
emergency,
while
the
light
show
was
going
on
and
at
that
point
the
the
mayor's
office
did
intervene
and
they
they
did
suspend
the
event
and
then
but
we
did
also
have
a
problem.
Last
year
when
we
had
this
new
emergency
emergency
declared
in
I
guess
december.
I
think
it
was
november
december.
I
forget
when
it
was.
It
was
a
year.
L
K
We
were
able
to
get
access
there,
so
this
would
provide.
I
mean
it's,
it's
inconsistent,
because
the
the
the
very
roadways
you
would
park
in
are
blocked
and
also
the
show
itself
brings
in
a
lot
of
cars
and
traffic
to
a
densely
populated
area
at
a
time
when
you're
also
being
asked
to
keep
off
the
street
so
as
not
to
impede
snow
removal
and
there's
a
lot
of
vehicles
that
go
into
the
park
and
create
other
issues.
K
K
I've
been
told
also
since
last
year
and
as
this
process
has
moved
forward
by
both
dgs
and
the
mayor's
office,
that
this
is
the
policy
that
they
will
pursue
in
the
event
that
there
is
no
emergency
this
year.
During
the
show
that
the
sponsors
are
aware
that
if
there
is
no
emergency,
there
will
be
a
suspension
to
allow
resident
parking.
K
So
this
would
simply
would
basically
codify
what
is
now
the
policy,
as
stated
to
me
by
both
dgs
and
the
mayor's
office.
So
there
wouldn't
be
any
confusion
in
the
past
and
that's
something
that
happened
since
the
this
was
originally
introduced.
Last
year
I
will
say
it
is
rare.
I
mean
the
show
itself
only
runs
through,
like
you
know,
around
thanksgiving
to
dress
day
after
new
year's
day,
so
it
is
rare
to
have
a
snow
emergency
declared
in
that
period.
K
G
K
M
N
Well,
I'm
surprised
he's
not
here
today,
because
you
know,
if
I
could
just
add
just
from
the
face
of
it,
I'm
in
opposition
to
I'm
in
opposition
to
it.
You
know
this
is
a
wonderful
non-profit
that
does
wonderful
work
in
the
city
of
albany,
not
just
for
pine
hills
residents
for
residents
all
across
our
city
and
they
don't
ask
the
city
for
a
penny
and
most
of
their
fundraising.
N
A
N
It's
not
just
a
center
square
issue.
People
in
the
10th
ward
have
issue
with
parking
people
all
across
our
city
have
issues
with
parking
so
to
legislate,
to
cancel
all
special
events
and
watch
them
park
during
a
snow
emergency.
I
generally
have
some
concern
I
like
to
hear
from
lenny,
as
relates
to
his
thoughts
on
it,
but
I
will.
G
N
N
About
it
I
mean
closing
it:
how
many
families
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
services
that
the
police,
athletic
police
athletic
league
provide,
and
that's
something
that
I
have
some
concern
about
so
right
now
I
I
I'll
be
voting.
No
until
I
hear
further,
you
know
information
from
the
executive
director
of
the
police
athletic
league.
I
really
don't
feel
comfortable
in
shutting
down
a
park
because
of
snow
emergency
individuals.
I'm
sorry
that
you
have
to
walk
10
minutes
to
find
parking
in
your
neighborhood
welcome
to
albany.
L
M
M
Try
and
then
someone
else
can
talk
jesus,
so
so
yeah
so,
but
I
mean
you
have
to
weigh
the
needs
of
of
residents
with
you
know
versus
the
needs
of
power.
This
bothers
me
also.
I
you
know
I
I
happen
to
know
it
is
the
largest
fundraiser
we
most
of
the
the
programming
throughout
the
years
run
off
of
off
of
funding
from
lights
in
the
park.
But
you
you
you
gotta,
there's
got
to
be
a
balance
and
there
are
so
few
snow
days
so
few
days
and
so
few
times
that
this
happened.
M
G
G
O
K
Yes
and
that's
something
that
happened
and
kelly
pointed
out
it's
in
the
mou
agreement
with
them
and
that's
something
that
happened
as
a
result
of
the
the
issue
last
year,
so
that
the
issue
the
contract
or
the
mou
for
this
year's
show
includes
that
provision
and
also
just
just
note
that
the
language
in
my
ordinance
says
the
cancellation
would
be
to
the
extent
that
the
event
would
otherwise
restrict
the
availability
of
snow
emergency
parking.
So
there
is
some
flexibility
in
there
as
well.
K
A
K
I
think
in
my
time
it's
only
happened
twice
once
was
last
year.
The
other
was
sometimes
during
the
jennings
administration.
I
forget
how
far
back
it
goes,
but
also,
I
think,
mike's
point
is
pretty
good,
that
if,
if
there
is
a
cancellation
of
for
a
couple
of
days,
I
don't,
I
wouldn't
see
a
problem
in
adding
additional
days
on
at
the
other
end
when,
instead
of
it
ending
on
january
first,
you
know
extend
it
for
a
couple
of
days
more
to
make
up
for
that
lost
time.
A
I
I
This
is
a
safety
issue
and
it's
not
only
a
safety
issue
for
residents
generally,
but
also
those
people
who
might
say.
Oh,
let
me
go
to
the
lights
in
the
park
and
also
for
the
people.
Then,
who
are
volunteering
there
to
be
able
to
collect
money?
The
number
of
people
who
should
be
going
to
that
would
be
minuscule
in
terms
of
the
financial
impact.
