B
C
I
just
want
to
say
a
few
quick
words
I'm
very
honor,
very
proud
to
be
here
tonight.
To
can
you
find
these
fantastic
athletes.
C
Of
my
daughters,
cheered
for
Colony
popular
and
Martin
here
was
the
was
a
driving
force
because
the
phenomenal
job,
South
County
popped,
water.
C
We
would
easily
win
the
local
competition.
We
do
very
well
in
the
state
competition
we
make
it
our
way
to
the
the
retail
and
some
of
our
teams
even
made
it
beyond
the
statistics.
The
normal
organization
teaches
the
girls
teamwork,
hard
work.
We
we
start,
they
start
on
this
first
of
August
practicing
and
it's
for
four
nights
a
week
Monday
through
Thursday
and
I.
Believe
it's
like
from
six
to
eight
is
that
right
and
in
August
it's
really
hot.
It's
really
hot,
and
these
girls
were
very
very
hard
practicing
then
come.
B
G
H
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
reparations
again
today,
but
before
that
I
urge
everybody
here
to
look
at
Thursday's
out
to
month,
Enterprise,
which
contained
the
longest
article
I
have
ever
seen
there
and
it's
about
Serena,
who
is
here,
Lincoln,
Pharmacy
and
Genoa,
and
when
you
the
night
is
evolved
and
people
you
all
talked
Jennifer
Whelan,
said
stuff
about
Insider
baseball.
Well,
you
read
this
article
and
you're
going
to
see
it's
a
whole
lot.
Worse.
H
Okay,
about
reparations
slaves
built
this
country.
They
built
the
White
House.
They
built
part
of
the
U.S
Capitol.
They
built
Mount,
Vernon
and
many
many
other
places
taking
this
closer
to
home.
H
They
built
the
governor's
mansion,
the
State
education
building
and
many
other
buildings
that
you
know,
I
have
driven
by
many
times
and
never
realized
who
built
it
well
what
they
literally
built,
and
you
can
Google
all
that
yourself
and
see
how
many
places
they
built,
but
what
they
literally
built
is
just
a
small
part
of
how
they
built
this
country.
H
Thank
you,
I'm
waiting
till
you
finish
talking,
okay,
thank
you
all
righty.
Well
now,
where
was
I?
Oh
yeah,
I
I,
hope
you
didn't
count
that
time.
We
were
waiting,
not
okay,.
I
H
Starting
over
I
just
want
to
continue
okay,
so
they
built
this
country
with
their
labor.
They
built
it
picking,
cotton,
they
built
it
harvesting
tobacco
and
they
created
vast
wealth
for
a
slave
owners,
which
in
turn
create
a
generational
wealth
for
their
children,
their
children,
their
children's
children
right
up
until
the
present.
Meanwhile,
of
course,
this
generational
poverty
white
people
profit
every
single
day
from
their
labor.
Now,
what
I'm
asking
is
that
a
task
force
be
established
to
come
up
with
recommendations
about
how
to
do
reparations
and.
H
A
K
I,
don't
know,
can
everybody
hear
me
okay,
good
evening
my
name
is
Roy
Hoffman
again,
I
am
a
local
president
for
local
775,
New
Albany
County
correctional
officers.
A
couple
of
months
ago,
Sheriff
Apple
was
here
speaking.
K
I,
don't
know
if
you
remember
it
was
like
50
some
odd
numbers
here.
He
basically
told
us
that
a
football
analogy
that
we're
on
the
five
yard
line
we
are
so
close
to
signing
our
contract.
It's
all
said
that
was
a
lot
of
Hope
and
a
lot
of
dreams,
I
guess,
because
we're
no
farther
from
there.
Okay,
there
was
a
fumble
on
the
four
yard
line,
and
here
I
stand
today
and
I
put
my
hand
out
many
times.
I've
been
to
many
of
fundraisers
asking
for
help
and
now
I'm
coming
here.
K
To
tell
you
the
truth.
The
negotiation
team
for
Albany
County
has
done
nothing
but
stall.
This
negotiation
with
us.
Okay,
our
contract,
was
over
the
end
of
21
starting
off
in
2022..
We
have
done
nothing
but
wait,
wait
and
wait
for
offers
to
be
given.
We
had
a
final
offer
given
to
us
on
the
16th
of
last
month
and
it
was
horrible
other
counties.
The
county
across
the
river
is
offering
starting
pay
of
52
thousand
dollars.
Schenectady
is
following
suit.
K
Every
County
around
here
is
following
Sue,
trying
to
have
a
competitive
market
for
law
enforcement
and
Corrections.
Nobody
wants
this
job
and
Albany
County
still
wants
to
offer
41
000
to
starting
officers.
Okay,
how
can
we
be
competitive?
We
cannot
be
competitive
at
that
level.
Okay,
we
offer
a
counter
proposal
and
the
negotiation
team
tells
me
it's
somewhere
around
five
hundred
thousand
to
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
us
to
come
together
and
then
I
get
told.
Albany
County
has
no
money.
K
K
K
The
negotiation
team
thinks
it's
possible
to
drag
that
out
for
two
years
for
Union
people.
Okay,
your
union
employees,
are
the
employees
that
keep
this
place
running.
My
correctional
officers
are
the
officers
that
stand
on
the
line
every
day,
16
hours
a
day,
because
we
don't
have
enough
officers
to
stay
in
that
facility.
Okay,
one
last
thing
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
we
have
over
160
Federal
borders
in
that
facility
160.
K
That
is
three
tiers:
okay,
that
have
to
be
manned
by
officers
as
we
run
short
and
you'll
hear
from
my
fellow
brothers
and
sisters
as
they
can't
go
home
they're
made
to
stay
at
the
jail
while
the
county
profits
from
these
borders.
I'm
asking
for
all
of
your
help
to
understand
that
the
situation
you
put
these
officers
in
is
astronomical.
Think
for
one
second.
What
would
this
place
be
without
my
brothers
and
sisters
without
any
correction
officers
to
stand
on
the
line?
Thank
you
very
much.
L
I'm
Brian
dongwick
I'm
the
treasurer
for
the
for
the
union
to
follow
up
on
what
Rory
to
say
most
of
us
work
16
hour
days,
three
four
days
a
week.
L
It
takes
a
tremendous
toll
on
us,
physically
mentally
on
our
families.
Last
week,
Tuesday
night
before
I
went
to
bed
I
told
my
wife
I
would
talk
to
her
Saturday
morning,
because
I
knew
that
I
wasn't
going
to
be
home
for
the
next
three
days
and
that's
exactly
how
it
worked
out.
L
L
Thankfully,
my
kids
were
all
older,
so
I'm
not
having
to
tell
my
young
kids
that,
but
we
have
quite
a
few
officers
that
have
young
kids
at
home.
They
have
to
tell
them
the
same
thing.
They
don't
see
their
kids
for
days.
They
don't
see
their
significant
others
for
days
and
it's
it.
It
really
does
do
damage.
Does
damage
to
us
does
damage
to
the
families
you
try
not
to
bring
it
to
work,
but
that
happens.
It's
it's.
L
It's
a
tough
environment
for
us,
these
borders
that
Roy
talked
about
that
generates
a
lot
of
revenue
for
the
county
and
that's
being
done
on
our
backs
and
we're
short
staffed.
We
don't
have
the
staff
to
do
this,
but
that
money
is
being
generated
and
that
Revenue
goes
to
the
county
and
then
for
us
to
be
told
that
there's
no
money
to
pay
us,
that's
real
tough
to
swallow.
L
That's
that's
a
hard
one
to
swallow,
and
we,
you
know,
we
just
see
the
article
about
the
unexpected
windfall
from
the
the
tax
revenues
for
the
the
sales
from
the
NCAA
tournament.
L
L
M
Good
evening
my
name
is
Patrick.
Lyman
I've
been
a
correction
officer
with
the
Albany
County
Sheriff's
Office
for
the
last
five
years.
I've
also
been
Chief
shop
steward
for
local
775.
For
the
last
two
years,
I
come
today
to
help
shed
some
light
on
the
issues
facing
us
correction
officers
over
at
the
Albany
County
Correctional
Facility,
we're
assigned
to
a
four-day
work
schedule
with
two
days
off.
Our
regular
shifts
are
eight
hours
long.
The
correctional
facility
has
been
in
a
Manpower
crisis
for
the
last
three
years.
M
M
M
Some
of
them
have
to
have
dinner
with
their
significant
others
out
in
the
parking
lot
just
to
get
that
time
with
them
16
hours
in
one
of
the
most
stressful
environments.
Four
days
in
a
row,
it's
nothing
without
experiencing
experiencing
it.
You
have
no
idea
what
it's
like
a
lot
of
new
officers
experience
this
and
they
realize
they
need
to
get
out
and
find
a
new
job,
and
more
often
than
not,
they
can
find
a
job
that
pays
about
the
same
with
significantly
less
demanding.
M
M
M
We
continue
to
miss
birthday
parties,
athletic
events
and
other
accomplishments
accomplishments
of
our
families.
This
precious
time
loss
cannot
be
gained
back
by
increasing
the
base
pay
you
can
help
get
them
home
be
with
their
families,
have
a
life
outside
of
that
jail.
A
higher
starting
pay
will
incentivize
people
to
take
the
job
as
a
correction
officer
help
resolve
our
Manpower
crisis.
M
N
N
I
came
here
today
as
one
of
the
people
that
my
president
and
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
are
talking
about.
I
am
one
of
the
single
moms
in
the
jail
I
chose
in
2012
to
get
pregnant.
On
my
own,
it
was
my
choice
and
in
2013
I
was
lucky
enough
to
give
birth
to
two
beautiful
boys.
N
I
did
my
time
at
the
jail
when
I
started
in
2002.
We
were
told
put
your
time
in
get
through
your
overtime.
The
first
10
years
is
going
to
be
hell,
but
you
can
do
it
and
I
did
it.
I
did
my
time,
but
now
I
can't
go
home
to
my
kids
in
April.
I
had
to
choose
to
go
back
to
midnights,
because
I
couldn't
get
out
at
three
o'clock
every
day
to
get
my
kids
I
had
to
rely
on
my
sisters
flying
to
school,
because
I
was
mandated
last
minute
and
I
didn't
know.
N
I
couldn't
afford
it
even
with
overtime
money,
because
babysitting
is
astronomical
to
pay
for
it.
I'm
asking
for
your
help.
I
didn't
have
my
kids
to
become
a
surrogate
I.
Had
my
kids
to
be
a
mom
and
I
can't
do
that
at
this
job.
When
we
became
into
crisis
three
years
ago,
if
I
didn't
have,
my
family
I
would
have
had
to
resign
with
19
years.
N
It's
excruciating
to
know
that
I
won't
see
my
babies
for
three
days,
because
I
have
to
take
on
the
burden
of
that
jail,
and
it's
not
right,
and
it's
not
fair.
Even
if
I
had
one
ear
on
the
job,
but
having
21
years
on
the
job,
it
should
not
be
happening
to
us.
We
need
help
and
I'm,
not
the
only
one
if
I
could
find
a
job
and
leave
today.
N
O
My
name
is
Andrew
Lacoste
I'm
a
19
year
veteran
with
the
Albany
County
Sheriff's
Office
I
have
two
little
ones
at
home.
I
spend
four
days
of
work
at
the
jail
16
hours
every
day.
Our
pay
needs
to
be
upped.
I'm
not
saying
make
us
rich
I'm,
not
looking
for
that.
I
want
us
to
have
food
on
the
table.
I
would
like
to
work
less
my
wife's,
a
stay-at-home
mom.
We
decided
after
having
our
second
child,
that
she
would
stay
home
because
daycare
is
too
expensive.
O
So
for
me
to
do
the
extra
16
to
24
hours
a
week
helps
out,
but
you
know
what
everything
has
gone
up
when
we
first
did
this.
Over
a
year
ago,
gas
is
going
up.
Food
has
gone
up,
I'm
working
all
four
days.
The
only
time
I
see
my
kids
is
two
days
a
week
and
that's
how
my
days
off
I'm
a
42
year
old
man
with
six
years
left
I,
don't
want
to
have
a
heart
attack.
O
P
Good
evening,
everyone
for
those
who
don't
know
me
I'm,
Patricia,
Sevilla
and
I'm
speaking
on
half
of
on
behalf
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters
of
Albany
County.
Tonight
we
felt
a
great
amount
of
thankfulness
when
the
legislature
reached
out
to
the
league
about
the
I
voted
sticker
contest,
something
we
asked
the
Board
of
Elections
about
shortly
after
hearing
of
it
in
Ulster
County,
the
Ulster
County
effort
last
fall,
and
we
heartily
appreciate
the
legislative
proposal
proposed
resolution
152,
which
would
increase
voter
education
about
their
rights.
P
We
hope
you
will
support
and
promote
the
League's
efforts
in
educating
citizens
via
our
online
voter
guide,
vote
4-1-1,
as
well
as
which
is
by
the
way,
one
of
the
only
sources
that
the
voters
have
to
learn
about
their
candidates,
candidates,
speaking
in
their
own
words,
as
well
as
to
help
support
us
in
our
candidate
forums.
We
truly
appreciate
the
support
that
you
have
shown
us.
Thank
you
for
letting
us
speak
tonight.
J
J
J
It
is
a
challenge
to
come
to
terms
with
one's
nation's
history
of
injustices
and
I
saw
this
recently
a
similar
type
situation
when
in
January
I
visited
Northern,
Iraq
Kurdistan
and
amongst
it
was
a
wonderful
trip
made
one
a
lot
of
wonderful
people,
but
amongst
the
things
I
did
is
I
visited
three
museums
of
Saddam
Hussein's
genocides
against
the
Kurds,
and
though
this
was
a
very
difficult
thing
to
see.
I
realized
that
knowing
our
history
is
really
really
important.
J
J
Q
Good
evening
I'm
Dr
Zarina
Jalal
I'm,
the
supervising
pharmacist
at
Lincoln
pharmacy,
located
here
in
Lake
in
Albany
I've,
been
to
this
Podium
a
lot
of
times
in
the
past
few
months,
and
each
time
I've
asked
you
to
scrutinize
a
relationship
that
the
county,
a
Department
of
Mental
Health,
has
with
General
Pharmacy,
and
this
past
week
the
Altamonte
Enterprise
published
an
article
on
the
topic,
and
it
echoed
the
concerns
that
I
repeatedly
raised
here.
Q
But
honestly,
what
stood
out
most
to
me,
especially
in
the
past
six
months,
is
how
this
decision
was
made
with
so
little
data.
One
of
the
claims
made
was
that
the
injections
were
switched
because
of
medical
necessity
that
patients
needed
to
use
Genoa
because
they
were
just
showing
up
without
appointments
and
never
mind
the
medicine
behind
that
doesn't
make
sense.
But
there
were
never
any
numbers
that
were
shared
to
you
on
how
many
patients
actually
missed
a
dose
when
Lincoln
was
providing
those
injections.
Q
In
the
past
few
years,
I
was
told
that
that
information
couldn't
be
provided,
because
that
data
didn't
exist
honestly,
I,
don't
know
if
I
should
believe
that
or
not,
but
in
December
this
body
you
promised
that
you
would
take
a
look
at
the
RFP
process
and
it's
been
four
months
and
answers
to
the
most
basic
questions
aren't
even
available.
Q
I
have
heard
you
have
discussions
in
committee
meetings
about
the
solutions
that
you
want
to
have
for
other
things
like
how
to
stifle
the
alarming
rate
at
which
commercial
real
estate
grows
vacant
in
this
community,
your
desire
to
improve
health
care
access
and
health
care
services
to
the
most
vulnerable
parts
of
this
community,
but
if
you
want
to
turn
it
around
in
Albany
County,
if
you
want
to
move
past
the
problems
that
have
been
magnified,
post,
covid
I
suggest
you
start
by
taking
action
when
the
professionals
and
the
community
stakeholders
tell
you
there
is
a
problem.
R
My
name
is
Francis
grimac
I'm
a
20-year
vet,
the
Albany
County
Correctional
Facility.
You
heard
my
brothers
and
sisters,
talk
about
money
and
pay
scale
and
contract
I'm
going
to
do
the
same.
The
county
executive,
the
sheriff
and
the
Comptroller
have
received
no
less
than
five
percent
raises.
Over
the
last
12
years.
You
yourselves
have
received
the
32
thousand
dollar,
raise
thirty.
Two
thousand
dollar
raise
voted
on
all
voted
on
by
you,
we're
not
asking
for
that.
R
R
If
we
don't
get
new
officers
in
that
jail
and
by
raising
the
starting
salary
and
keeping
officers
by
keeping
the
salaries
competitive,
you
guys
will
lose
that
six
million
dollars
a
year,
because
the
federal
government
will
pull
their
160
borders
out
and
you
guys
will
be
out
we're
not
asking
you
to
empty
your
coffers.
But
we're
asking
you
to
dip
into
it.
R
R
S
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Marco
Flagg
I
work
at
a
United
tenants
of
Albany,
also
just
a
Community
member
of
Albany,
and
here
I
believe
you
know
it's
important
and
it's
helpful
for
the
leadership
of
the
County
DSS
to
hear
from
community
members
and
organizations
that
help
DSS
serve
the
community
to
hear
about
some
gaps
in
policy,
and
it's
really
sometimes
those
gaps
need
to
be
experienced
and
found
in
order
to
be
addressed,
and
that's
why
it's
it's
important
that
organizations
like
United
tenants
of
Albany
and
others
continue
to
bring
Community
Voices
to
this
critical
policy
conversation
here,
as
as
members
of
the
County
Legislature
I'd
like
to
Briefly.
S
Summarize
summarize,
my
experience
with
the
United
a
client
I'll
call
her
a
a
b
or
just
a
client
to
illustrate
how
County
DSS
policy
has
exposed
exposed
a
newly
evicted,
Elder
tenant
to
unnecessary
and
mental
physical
trauma
and
I
hope
to
transform
this
experience
into
a
a
really
simple
policy
demand
that
could
call
for
a
County
DSS
to
reform
their
policy,
especially
when
working
with
community
members
registered
on
the
County
Special
Needs
registry
I
worked
with
this
client
for
months,
and
she
herself
worked
for
months.
S
Looking
for
new,
she
lost
her
Section
Eight
right,
and
so
she
was
looking
for
new
housing
talking
to
Folks
at
the
Health
Equity
partnership,
various
other
social
services
and
whatnot
just
to
find
an
affordable
place
to
live
it's
incredibly
difficult,
particularly
for
folks
that
lose
their
their
housing
vouchers.
S
She
was
not
able
to
find
that
in
time,
and
so
as
well
as
she
suffered
a
myriad
of
health
problems
stemming
from
various
issues.
So
basically,
what
happened
was
all
that
preparation
that
she
herself
did:
UTA
Health,
Equity
partnership,
lazny
and
others
completed
in
order
to
protect
her
from
the
trauma
of
Street.
Homelessness
were
wasted
due
to
this
policy
and
really
had
I
not
been
there
to
assist
her.
S
This
immuno
compromised
would
have
been
locked
out
on
the
street.
Basically,
she
was
caught
in
a
limo,
limbo.
Okay,
she
was
caught
in
a
limbo
where
the
eviction
was
scheduled
but
had
not
been.
The
lockout
had
not
occurred
because
of
that
she
was
not
able
to
access
any
services
or
shelters
now
her
being
on
the
special
needs
registry.
She
definitely
has
special
needs
there.
She
came
to
DSS
early
at
that
time
as
they
are
both
County
entities
DSS
and
the
sheriff's
department.
S
Dss
could
have
called
the
the
sheriff's
department
without
telling
the
tenant
when
and
where
sorry,
when
the
lockout
would
occur,
just
to
prepare
a
safe
shelter
for
the
client
and
then
could
have
just
given
her
like
a
piece
of
paper
or
something
like
that
and
said:
listen
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
when,
when
exactly
the
okay,
the
lockout
is
just
give
this
to
the
sheriff,
and
the
sheriff
will
give
you
a
ride
to
that
shelter.
S
A
We
have
a
full
copy
of
Marco's
testimony
in
regards
to
the
policy
we'll
get
that
out
to
the
members
this
week.
Just
so
everyone's
aware,
members
of
the
social
services
committee,
working
closely
with
the
chair
on
implementing
some
of
these
changes
and
analyzing
things,
we
can
do
better
in
Albany
County.
T
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Tabora
Marcus
I
am
the
President
of
the
West
Hill
neighborhood
association.
I
am
I'm
here
today,
I
came
today
to
really
talk
about
some
of
the
properties
that
people
have
been
putting
put
out
of
that.
We
feel
you
guys
should
be
looking
into
home
ownership
for
these
folks.
These
are
the
people
who
should
be
owning
these
properties
that
you
guys
are
locking
out
I'm
at
least
giving
them
the
opportunity.
We
talked
about
lifelong
residents
of
the
city
of
the
county.
T
They
should
definitely
be
something
in
place
that
can
help
folks
to
start
owning
these
properties.
I
know
you
guys
normally
turn
the
properties
over
to
the
land
bank,
which
then
you
know,
there's
a
whole
lot
going
on
there,
but
I
think
sitting
in
the
back
of
the
room
and
hearing
a
lot
of
people
come
up
and
talk
about
the
correction
officers.
I
I
want
to
reflect
a
little
bit
me
standing
here.
T
Hearing
I'm
I'm,
someone
who
have
a
kid
that's
currently
serving
time
and
a
lot
of
times,
I
get
the
conversations
from
my
kid
that
the
officers
are
angry.
They
they're
doing
things
to
them,
while
they're
in
prison
and
just
listening
to
their
voices
a
lot
of
times.
We
can
see
there's
a
different
story
that
might
happen
here.
These
folks
are
being
burnt
out.
T
They
aren't
being
heard
that
reflects
on
our
children,
who
are
now
in
prison
during
prison
time
if
you're
mistreating
them
that
mistreatment
now
trickles
down
to
our
family
members,
so
I
think
you
guys
should
really
really
look
into
getting
better
pay
like
no
one
wants
to
work,
an
officer,
a
correction
officer
getting
paid
less
than
I
do
and
I
pretty
much
just
kind
of
do
some
things
in
the
city
and
talk
to
folks
and
give
them
resources,
and
these
are
people
who
are
putting
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day
in
these
facilities.
T
Some
are
definitely
burnt
out
and
they're
angry,
so
that
kind
of
pushes
off
into
our
children
or
our
loved
ones.
That
are
doing
time
so
I
urge
you
guys
to
really
look
into
giving
giving
folks
competitive
wages
and
and
being
competitive
with
someone's
quality
of
life.
I
mean
we
we're
talking
about
Equity
here
right
now
in
the
city,
the
county
and
everywhere
else,
and
what
I
just
heard
these
folks
talk
about
is
just
despicable
for
someone
to
not
be
able
to
spend
time
with
their
family.
T
If
my
job
required
me
to
do
that,
I
would
definitely
have
to
just
give
my
time
up
and
find
something
else
to
do
and
I
think
none
of
us
would
want
to
see
our
correction
officers
put
their
badges
on
the
table
and
just
walk
out
and
say
you
know
it's
a
free
fall
for
our
our
loved
ones
who
are
in
prison.
So
thank
you
guys.
U
Good
evening
my
name
is
Thomas
pleet.
You
heard
my
brothers
and
sisters
speak
earlier.
They've
been
here
for
the
last
20
years,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
my
opinion
for
someone
who's
been
to
jail
for
the
last
10
months
since
I
started
there
I'm
a
former
member
of
the
United
States
military
I've,
been
the
U.S
army
for
the
last
three
years.
U
Love
it
decided
to
take
myself
a
service
somewhere
else,
so
I
started
working
at
the
jail
like
I
said:
I've
been
there
for
10
months
and
there's
only
been
four
days
since
I've
been
there,
but
I've
been
able
to
walk
and
go
home.
My
base
pays
41
000
a
year
and
I
have
to
work
65
70
hours
a
week
to
make
any
money.
I
don't
live
at
home.
U
I
have
to
fend
for
myself
since
I've,
been
there
I've,
seen
numerous
staff
assaults
I've
seen
inmates
put
their
own
fecal
matter
in
cups
and
chocolate
Mattis
swear,
they
hate
us,
but
we
still
put
on
our
uniform
and
our
badge
every
single
day
with
pride,
with
a
smile
on
her
face
when
we
go
in
there
speak
for
someone.
From
my
perspective.
U
That's
absolutely
disgusting
that
I
have
to
go
in
there
and
I
make
less
than
19
an
hour
less
than
nineteen
dollars
an
hour
and
I
have
to
go
in
there
and
I
have
to
deal
with
that.
But
for
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
back
I
put
on
my
shield
I
put
in
my
uniform
every
single
day
with
pride,
because
I
know
that
they've
been
through
it.
U
We
come
here
and
we're
asked
for
help
and
we're
never
here
the
last
time
you
saw
us
maybe
what
four
months
ago
and
there
were
50
of
us
tonight-
11a
stands
proud,
strong
and
I
know
every
single
brother
and
sister
I
have
in
the
back
of
that
Jail's
back
and
what
we're
doing
right
now.
So
please,
please
take
consideration
as
of
what
this
is
what's
going
on
today.
Thank
you
for
listening.
A
A
Before
we
get
started
tonight,
if
you'll
indulge
me
for
five
minutes
been
reflecting
a
lot
on
my
past
several
years
as
chair
of
the
legislature
and
all
the
things
we've
accomplished
together,
both
Democrat
and
Republican,
which
is
why
what
we're
seeing
unfold
in
Tennessee
is
so
troubling
and
problematic
to
me
and
I
wanted
to
share
some
some
thoughts
before
we
get
started.
Both
Democrat
Republican
conservative
Progressive,
we've
all
accomplished
a
lot
together
during
my
time
as
chair.
We
consider
the
facts.
You
would
consider
the
situation
and
we
make
the
best
decision.
A
We
can
at
the
time
and
take
a
motion
out
of
it
and
we
do
it
with
respect
for
one.
Another
I
think
we're
very
fortunate
here
in
Albany
County
to
have
that
capability
to
work
in
a
bipartisan
manner
in
the
manner
in
which
we
were
elected
to
serve
in
Tennessee
this
past
week,
following
another
mass
shooting
that
took
the
lives
of
six
people,
including
three
children
under
the
age
of
10.
students
from
across
that
state
marched
on
their
state
house
demanding
action
from
their
lawmakers.
A
These
lawmakers
and
the
majority
party
refused
to
listen,
except
for
three
of
them.
Tennessee
state
representatives,
Justin
Jones,
Justin,
Peterson
and
Gloria
Johnson.
Instead
of
listening,
the
majority
party
in
Tennessee
attempted
to
intimidate
the
Tennessee
threes
have
been
since
known
by
stripping
them
of
their
rights
as
duly
elected
legislators,
causing
their
districts
to
go
unrepresented.
A
I
can
only
hope
they
will
be
reappointed
to
their
respective
seats
and
continue
to
fight
for
the
children
of
Tennessee.
Again
we're
very
fortunate
here
in
Albany
County
to
work
alongside
one
another
and
I
know.
If
students
marched
into
this
building,
we
would
listen
to
every
single
one
of
them
and
we'd
do
so
out
of
respect
for
them
and
respect
for
one
another.
V
As
we
look
back
at
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
we
realized
at
that
time
just
how
bad
these
disparities
were,
and
it
was
demonstrated
by
the
data
that
came
out.
We
felt
that
right
here
in
our
own
County,
as
we
sat
day
by
day
and
week
by
week,
I
understand
you've
got
many
of
the
people
that
were
in
our
church.
Community
had
died
and
we
realized
just
how
bad
those
kind
of
disparities
had
come
home
to
lose
by
myself
have
family
members
who
have
gone
to
the
hospital
and
misdiagnosed
in
the
hospital
and
not
been
treated.
V
Literacy
and
an
estimated
60
of
racialized
minority
patients
over
the
age
of
18
believe
it
is
at
least
somewhat
important
to
visit
a
health
care
provider
who
shares
or
understands
their
culture
in
Albany
County.
Health
disparities
continue
to
persist
among
communities
of
coaching.
We
have
higher
rates
of
chronic
diseases,
mental
health
issues
and
mortality
rates
more
than
any
other
non-binary
community.
V
Addressing
those
Health
disparities
requires
collaboration
and
commitment
from
all
Albany
County
stakeholders,
including
how
share
providers,
public
health
professionals,
Community
organizations
and
government
agencies
and
January
2021.
The
Albany
County
Legislature
formed
the
minority,
health
and
Equity
task
force
to
review
policies,
practices
and
procedures
within
the
county
and
identify
opportunities
to
create
and
create
more
fair
and
active
World
Health
outcomes
for
minority
community.
V
C
V
Year,
the
theme
is
focused
on
Better
Health,
through
better
understanding.
The
legislature
will
continue
to
focus
on
improving
Health
outcomes
for
racial
and
ethnic
minority
communities
by
encouraging
culturally
and
linguistically
competent,
Health,
Care,
Services
information
and
resources
and,
at
the
end
of
the
Proclamation
States.
V
This
be
observed
that
the
Albany
County
Legislature
does
nearby
proclaim
the
month
of
April
2023
as
National
minority
health
month
in
Albany
counties,
and
call
us
upon
the
people
who
reside
in
the
county
of
Albany
to
participate
in
appropriate
programs
and
activities
that
promotes
co-equity
and
improves
Health
outcomes
for
all
of
our
residents
in
our
communities.
Thank
you,
chairman.
Thank

About
the
disease
and
bring
attention
to
ongoing
search
for
a
cure
and
for
prevention,
CDC
reports
to
Parkinson's
is
the
second
most
common
neurog
degenerative
disease
in
the
United
States
Parkinson's,
as
you
might
know,
very
from
person
to
person
that
can
include
Tremors
difficulty
with
balance
cognitive
impairment,
dementia
mood
disorders
on
things
like
that
and
other
non-motor
symptoms,
including
loss
of
sensors,.
X
X
X
X
So
we
are
fighting
for
a
cure,
we're
trying
to
help
those
who
have
the
disease
now,
but
there
are
avenues
for
finding
a
betterware
with
better
way
to
control
a
better
way
to
use
herbicides,
a
better
way
to
control
use
of
toxic
chemicals
that
can
lead
to
reducing
the
prevalence
of
the
disease,
so
increased
research,
education
and
Community
Support
Services
are
needed
to
find
more
effective
treatments
and
provide
access
to
Quality
Care
to
those
living
the
disease.
Today,
our
Proclamation
is
going
to
be
presented.
X
So
I'd
like
to
thank
the
members
of
this
body
if
you're
not
yet
Capital
District,
Parkinson's
support
group,
large
group
there's
at
least
3
000
patients,
just
at
all
the
medical
center
disorders
clinic
alone.
So
it's
very
prevalent
and
tying
into
what
legislators,
Juan
Willingham
was
saying:
Parkinson's
doesn't
discriminate
against
people
of
color,
but
they
are
underrepresented
in
the
Care
Group
support
group
community.
So
I'd
welcome
hearing
more
from
folks
of
color
who
have
this
have
loved
ones
with
this,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
everyone
is
as
healthy
as
they
can
be.
It's.
B
X
X
So,
thanks
to
all
of
you
who
are
exciting
for
Proclamation,
it's
ready
to
worry
about
Parkinson's
disease
and
let's
have
a
little
hope
for
preventing
this
disease
in
the
future,
as
well
as
my
figure.
B

A
A

G
F

Y
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I'm,
going
to
vote
to
support
this
engineering
and
planning
documents,
but
I
share
many
of
Mark's
concerns.
I'm
a
member
of
the
Public
Works
committee
have
been
for
almost
eight
years
now
and
we've
never
really
talked
about
the
future
of
Lawson
Lake
I
asked
some
questions
in
the
committee
was
a
secret
required
for
this
and
was
told
that
we
didn't
need
one
to
do.
Y
An
architectural
review
and
now
I
find
out
that
there
are
different
phases
to
this
plan,
which
will
overnight
cabins
potentially
water
treatment
facilities,
water
sewer,
there's
no
Seeker,
which
has
been
done
at
this
point
and
I
am
very
concerned
that
we're
going
down
a
road
where
we
could
be
spending
in
a
marched
out
of
mind
about
six
million
dollars,
which
is
in
the
master
plan
that
I'm
not
sure
the
members
of
of
this
body
are
aware
of
so
I'm,
not
sure
how
we
get
a
better
handle
as
to
what
the
county
wants
to
do.
Z
Y
Y
Accommodations
business
you're
talking
about
24-hour
staff,
responsibilities,
liabilities
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
sure,
we've
completely
thought
out
where
this
is
going,
but
it's
could
lead
to
a
tremendous
expenditure
of
funds.
I'll.
S
Y
For
it
forward
and
support
at
least
seeing
what
the
planning
documents
say,
but
I
think
we
as
a
legislature
need
a
very
hard
look
as
to
where
this
is
ultimately
going
and
not
taking
piece
by
piece
by
piece.
That's,
you
know
segmented
review
and
there
really
has
to
be
a
master
plan
that
everybody
is
understands
and
is
supported
us.
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman
all.

A

G
G
G
A

A
A
G
A
I
AA
Thank
you
what's
going
on.
Yes,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
on
this
I'm
in
favor
of
it,
but
I'd
just
like
to
have
the
record
reflect
the
history
of
you
know
what
we've
already
done
with
respect
to
security
and
other
recommendations,
to
make
it
safe
down
at
the
Board
of
Elections,
so
Board
of
Elections
task
force
committee
was
convened
by
this
body
in
2020
to
look
at
Safety
and
Security
issues
at
the
Board
of
Elections.
I
was
appointed
to
be
on
it.
AA
Along
with
to
serve
on
this
committee,
along
with
Bill
Ricard
Justin,
Reedy,
Carolyn,
McLaughlin
and
Lynnwood
caucus,
we
worked
tirelessly
the
whole
coveted
summer.
We
interviewed
the
Commissioners.
We
interviewed
all
the
employees
down
there
that
were
appointed
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
we
recommended
via
an
extensive
30-page
report,
our
findings
that
were
limited
to
that
were
including,
but
not
limited
to
offense
landscaping
and
other
reconfigurations,
along
with
security.
If
you
made
at
the
Board
of
Elections
Plaza,
everyone
in
this
room
got
a
copy
of
that
report.
AA
We,
after
that,
we,
this
body,
also
gave
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget
process
to
dedicate
to
following
up
on
our
recommendations
and
an
engineering
consultant
was
hired
and
a
report
was
issued
that
resulted
in
the
December
vote
on
offense,
which
hasn't
gone
up.
Yet
our
hard
work
and
efforts
have
obviously
been
stalled.
So
I
would
like
to
it's
obviously
like
if
people
are
still
asking
you
for
security,
we've
had
sheriffs
down
there,
and
you
know:
we've
been
asking
for
fences
and
security
and
everything
for
three
years.
AA
AA
Ask
that
we
have
a
report
that
not
just
touch
upon
the
security
but
also
give
a
status
report
regarding
the
other
plans
that
were
in
our
commission
report
and
that
the
hired
engineer
consultant
recommended
in
a
report
along
with
and
accounting
as
to
how
our
hundred
thousand
that
we
gave
was
spent
and
when
the
Spence
is
going
to
be
installed
around
the
perimeter,
which
also
I
might
add,
I.
Think
when
we
redeveloped
that
as
a
offense
is
required
by
the
city
of
Albany
code,
which
I've
argued
to
the
county
executives.
AA
Folks,
there
as
well
I
think
were
actually
a
dereliction
of
of
the
city
code
by
not
having
an
offense
there
and
I'd.
AA
AA
AA
Have
never
had
any
Grievances
and
I
started.
Thinking
about
that
and
I
thought.
Well,
you
know,
Board
of
Elections
is
closer
to
the
streets.
Not
so
far
back.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
that
goes
through
the
parking
lot,
but
you
know
a
lot
of
those
folks
in
those
other
agencies
are
represented
by
unions
and
the
Board
of
Elections
employees
are
not
elected
by
Union
representatives
and
instead
they're,
you
know
they're
bringing
their
grievances
to
us,
which
I'm
very
happy
to
advocate
for
them
when
it
comes
to
their
safety,
but.
AA
We
should
consider
doing,
is
you
know,
looking
into
getting
Union
representation
into
the
Board
of
Elections
for
the
employees,
because
they
certainly
have
had
a
lot
of
concerns
over
the
last
few
years
about
their
you
know
their
safety
and
whether
or
not
anyone
really
cares
about
it,
and
so
I
thought
that
that
might
be
something
also
interesting
to
explore.
AA
Maybe
for
another
time,
but
but
anyway,
I
am
happy
to
to
also
you
know
be
added
as
a
sponsor
onto
this
resolution
and
I
thank
Mr,
Ethier
and
Mr
Clay
for
pushing
us
along,
because
certainly
we
need
help
with
with
that.
Thank
you.
W
A
difference
between
the
health
department
in
the
world,
that's
an
awesome
as
soon
as
you
walk
into
the
Health
Department
Security
right
there.
That's
all
it's
worth.
It
is
more
secure
bill.
I
put
I
made
my
one
seven
four
year,
treat
to
the
Board
of
Elections,
but
and
I
had
no
no
problem.
There's
nobody
to
can
I
walked
right
in
with
no
people.
Nobody
around.
No,
it's
not
I
mean
legit
without
the
employees,
aren't
don't
feel
safe
in
their
working
environment.
W
That
concerns
me
and
that
that's
what
Bob's
name
also
about
this
and
I
think
with
the
chairman
of
Public
Safety.
What
is
it
the
people's
down
there
and
it
says-
and
he
thinks
that
it's
a
necessary
thing
to
move
forward,
I
support
it
100.
Y
We
issued
a
report
bipartisan
report
for
22
Academy
of
technique,
and
we
made
recommendations.
We
put
money
in
the
budget
for
offense
defense
was
designed,
I
think
we
we
did
defense
and
it's
not
there.
Y
Yet
I
got
a
little
bit
of
concern
because
for
many
times
during
the
year
we
actually
had
sheriff's
deputies
there,
not
security
and
I,
don't
know
whether
those
are
Provisions
that
are
required
in
the
election
law
when
it
an
election
is
ongoing
but
I'd
like
to
know
how
I
don't
want
to
lose
the
sheriff's
presence
that
is
down
there
and
I
think
that
has
to
be
integrated
into
any
security
operations
that
take
place.
Y
I'm,
not
sure
I.
Think
most
of
the
people
at
the
board
of
elections
are
concerned
about
the
environment
outside
I.
Don't
know
that
they're
threatened
in
their
workplace,
I
think
they're
threatened
by
their
environment
and
needles
in
the
parking
lot
sort
of
that
certain
members
of
the
publisher
doing
on
the
street
Etc
and
I
hope
that
whatever
Security
Options
take
place
do
something
to
protect
that
parking
lot
as
well
as
I.
Y
Just
don't
want
to
see
a
security
guard
in
a
vestibule
to
allow
people
in
and
in
and
out
of
the
Board
of
Elections.
So
I
don't
know
if
there
are,
as
chairman
of
the
Personnel
committee
and
the
Public
Safety
Committee.
If
there
have
been
any
discussions
with
any
executive's
office,
but
can
can
anyone
Enlighten
us
to
what
what
the
position
of
the
county
is
on
implementing?
Y
Gee,
we've
done
all
these
things.
Why
don't
you
tell
us
in
60
days
what
you're
going
to
do
I'm,
not
quite
sure,
given
the
chronology
of
the
way,
this
is
unpacked.
What
the.
Y
A
I
respect
that
I
can
say:
we've
been
working
closely
at
the
County
exec's
office
and
ugs
over
the
past
two
years,
plus
on
implementing
some
of
these
recommendations
that
our
task
force,
you
know,
works
so
hard
on
implementing
and
coming
up
with
they're
great
recommendations.
I
think
this
initial
discussion
here
about
getting
the
security
guard
in
is
a
lot
of
us
have
gone
down
to
the
Board
of
Elections
over
the
past
several
weeks.
A
You
know
doing
petitioning
and
talking
with
the
employees
talking
with
the
Commissioners
I'm
sure
Mr
Ethier
had
a
conversation
with
with
the
Democratic
commissioner
and
we're
talking
to
everybody,
and
this
issue
came
back
up
and
a
lot
of
us
have
gone
down
over
the
past
two
weeks
to
file
and
yeah.
You
have
to
ring
a
buzzer
to
get
in,
and
an
employee
has
to
come
out
from
around
the
desk
to
open
the
door.
So
every
other
County
building
and
County
facility
has
some
type
of
security.
A
Why
wouldn't
the
Board
of
Elections
have
the
security
guard
as
well
to
manage
that
door
and
to
watch
that
door?
So
I
think
that's
where
this
comes
out
of?
Is
that
conversation
this
is
kind
of
like
a
quick
fix
solution
in
tandem
doing
what
we
did
with
the
the
Board
of
Elections
task
force,
recommendations
which,
which
are
more
comprehensive.
It
may
take
a
little
more
time
to
implement,
but
we
are
working
on
them.
Mr
Clay.
AB
Seemed
to
be
growing
in
complication,
it
was
it
kind
of
started.
I
went
down
there
to
the
Board
of
Elections
and
I
was
met
by
two
employees,
one
lady
who
said
she
was
leaving
because
she
was
busted
out
in
the
parking
lot
that
one
and
then
someone
from
one
of
the
security
people
from
the
Department
of
Health
or
middle
of
hygiene.
AB
I,
don't
know
why
it
was
so
complicated.
Every
County
Building
around
here
has
a
security
I
mean
they
just
have
a
security
person
in
it,
and
and
it's
it's
so
why
couldn't
we
just
ask
to
come
and
get
exactly
or
issue
30.
now
over
in
the
Department
of
Health?
They
mentioned
that
that
there
used
to
be
a
camera
system
that
has
since
been
disabled
or
removed
or
whatever,
where
the
security
people
over
in
Department
of
Health
could
monitor
the
whole
parking
lot.
AB
That
is
not
operational
at
this
point
and
they
told
us
that
the
bill
was
over
there
and
they
said
well.
We
used
to
be
able
to
look
at
Sea.
We've
been
monitor,
we
could
see
everything
was
happening,
but
that's
going
to
say,
I
I,
don't
know
why
it's
so
complicated,
but
whether
you
go
to
a
state
job
or
whether
you
go
to
a
county
building
where
they
go
to
the
feds.
They
have
a
person
there,
a
security
person
there
I
am
graduated
conditions,
are
such
today
that
we
need
security.
AB
The
whole
time
and
then
Miguel
and
I
got
together
and
we,
you
know
why
can't
we
just
say
to
the
county
attack
we
as
the
as
the
County
Legislature
is
requesting
not
procrastination
that
you've
been
doing,
but
we
wanted
to
have
a
map.
E
I
was
part
of
the
task
force
and
I
was
proud
to
be
honest.
I
live
in
Wisconsin
and
I
travel,
South,
Broad,
Street
everything
I
broadcast
the
Board
of
Elections.
E
B
E
But
every
time
this
conversation
comes
up
in
here,
I'm
offended
I'm
offended
because
I
live
in
that
community
I
know
people
who
walk
those
streets
every
day
and
the
way
we
talk
about
that
communication.
Is
it's
effective
to
me
and
I'm,
very
emotional
about
it,
because
I
grew
up
in
that
community
and
I'm
still
living
less
than
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
there.
E
E
In
the
Board
of
Elections
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
Integrity
of
my
community,
so
we're
going
to
style
this
problem.
Do
not
do
it
at
the
expense
of
talking
about
a
place
right
there.
Every
day
where
I
have
to
walk
you're
talking
about
me
because
I
walk
those
streets,
you
could
be
afraid
of
me
because
I
think
a
lot
of
the
jobs
have
to
do
with
the
color
of
my
skin.
Yes,
but.
B
E
I
respect
the
people
in
that
Community
the
happiest
and
the
have-nots,
and
that's
what
I
expect
when
we
have
this
conversation
to
me.
It
is
to
us
a
simple
picture:
if
you
have
security
out
there,
when
the
elections
were
taking
place,
why
not
just
keep
them
there
and
the
people
that
are
coming
to
work
in
the
morning
going
to
lunches
at
noon
and.
E
E
S
E
B
E
Your
pristine
community
in
Devil
I
have
been
going
after
yesterday.
Oh
yes,
so,
let's
be
fair
about
this
thing.
I
need
to
security
with
me
when
I
go
through
those
communities,
but
if
I
ask
you
for
that,
you
know
so
I'm.
Just
asking
please
give
due
respect
to
the
community
as
we
try
to
solve
this
problem
of
the
safety
of
the
employees
of
the
Board
of
Elections.
I
want
them
to
come
to
work.
I
don't
want
anybody
quit
because
they
won't
feel
safe
at
their
place
of
work.
A
A
A
It's
not
the
people
that
work
there
and
we're
building
off
that
solution
now,
so
there
will
be
no
denigrated
comments
on
the
people
of
the
south
end
or
the
people
of
the
South
End
Community
here
tonight,
but
we
will
work
together
to
solve
the
problem.
We'll
have
a
few
we'll
have
Mr
Ethier.
The
clerk
has
not
even
read
the
resolution
yet
so
final
comments
from
the
sponsor
and
then
we'll
vote
on
it
and
we'll
have
MS
Willingham
as
well.
I
I
I
We
stopped
work
right
there
for
at
least
10
minutes
and
we
built
and
we
address
the
whole
room.
That's
all
we're
gonna.
Do
then
we're
doing
what
we
did.
Nothing
about
fences,
nothing
about
task
force,
nothing
about
that
stuff.
We
want
a
table
to
put
down
there
with
two
guards.
Now,
if
a
boy
can't
do
that,
he
should
make
it
more
bottom.
One.
V
C
V
Back
with
this
whole
thing,
as
far
as
the
Board
of
Elections
start
from
the
Board
of
Elections
being
moved
from
across
the
starting
thing
and
so
I'm
thinking.
One
thing
that
we
have
to
realize
is
this:
we
have
children
that
are
afraid
to
go
to
school
because
of
other
children
in
secure
just
just
within
the
past
month.
V
B
V
V
V
Far
as
I'm
concerns,
that
is
an
immediate
resolution
to
the
problem.
Yes,
I
did
run
into
the
same
thing
that
Bill
ran
into
when
he
went
down
there.
V
V
So
that's
not
like
to
me
it's
just
it's
wobbling
man
and
how
we're
talking
about
this
here
tonight.
Okay,
let's
do
what
we
have
to
do.
We've
got
intelligent
people
in
this
room.
We
have
people
that
have
been
in
security.
We
know
what
to
do.
Let's
just
take
care
of
it.
Stop
you
know.
People
feel
like
that
the
community
in
which
they
live
has
been
denigrated.
Let's
just
stop
that.
That's
not
the
message.
I
know
that
we
want
to
I
know
that.
So
let's
just
do
what
we
need
to
do.
V
AC
A
Before
the
clerk
region
resolution
154,
there's
a
lot
of
strong
United
voice
in
this
room
tonight
for
the
necessary
improvements
that
need
to
get
made
to
the
Board
of
Elections
based.
A
I
heard,
but
I
would
like
to
you
know
in
addition
to
building
your
or
putting
a
security
guard
at
the
Board
of
Elections.
It'd
be
good
in
our
conversations
with
a
me
folks.
It'd
be
good
to
get
with
the
county
executive
and
say
this
body
is
in
full
support
of
implementing
every
single
one
of
those
recommendations
that
our
task
force
implemented.
So,
in
addition
to
the
security
guard,
we
need
to
move
forward
with
all
the
full
recommendations
of
the
task
force
published
and
move
forward
with
that
and
fulfill
our
responsibility.
Z
Mr
chairman
I,
think
Mr
was
first
Mr
Ricardo.
Thank
you.
They're
called
on
you.
I
just
want
to
say
a
couple
things
I
I
too
went
down
here.
Last
Thursday
and
Friday
and
I
was
taken
back
that
you
know
we
had
it
buzzed
in
for
like
a
minute
or
so
I.
Don't
care
about
myself
to
be
honest
with
you,
because
I
have
to
but
yeah
I
work
with
it.
B
Z
An
everyday
citizen
actually
I,
don't
think
that's
right
from
anywhere
in
Albany
County
to
go
down
there.
After
with
that
said,
I
did
the
win
there.
On
Thursday
and
Friday,
like
I,
said:
I
had
to
use
the
restroom
right.
All
right
and
I
couldn't
find
a
restaurant
I
knew
where
the
restroom
is,
but
I
couldn't
find
it.
Why
couldn't
we
fight
it?
Well,
someone
accommodation
put
put
this
on
top
of
it.
They've
got
a
duct
tape
around
it
and
Herbert
design.
Z
Z
So
I'm
just
trying
to
say
that
you
know
the
buzzing
in
not
right
for
that
County
as
a
whole,
any
individual's
activities
in
there.
But,
aside
from
that
security
guards,
I
think
that's
a
good
great
solution.
I
think
we
all
are
agreement.
Automatic
I
think
we
need
to
do
that
right
away,
but
on
the
same
token,
it's
not
fair
for
employees
have
to
work
under
that
environment
in
the
workplace
and
outside
of
workplace
whoever
it
is.
D
AC
D
With
the
security
you
know,
I
live
on
Delaware
off
Delaware
Avenue
and
there's
a
security
guard
at
the
little
CVS.
There,
I've
been
going
there
for
25
years
and
this
year
there's
a
security
guard
there
now,
probably
because
they
need
one.
You
know
it's
not
a
good
state
of
the
world,
but
you
know
our
next
time.
Neighborhood
there
there's
a
school
right
there.
You
know
the
mission
is
right.
There,
they're,
building
a
new
gas
station
and
I
certainly
hope
that
we're
able
to
keep
that
whole
air.
D
We,
the
city,
the
all
the
people
who
live
around
here,
the
schools
to
keep
that
area
safe,
because
I'm
kind
of
shocked
by
the
allowing
more
traffic
to
be
there
in
that
cluster
of
you
got.
The
Orange
Street
is
right
there,
where
the
fire
and
the
police
are
I.
D
Right
there,
if
they,
if
they're,
just
adding
some
gas
stations
right
now
so
the
Boe.
So
just
remember
this
is
a
big.
It
is
a
big
problem.
It's
a
big
problem
with
many
solutions,
but
I
think
that
the
security
guard
won't
be
a
little
more
welcoming
than
bossing
the
Bell
and
the
show
the
community
that
we
do,
employees
that
we
care
about
them,
but
also
the
community
that
we
care
about
the
community
as
well.
Definitely
this.
C
AD
You
very
much
Mr
chairman
when
this
was
ongoing.
I
was
a
little
angry
myself
too,
but
Caroline
Curry
talked
about
a
lot
of
them
already
so
I'm
going
to
let
those
go
and
great
job
Caroline
from
bringing
those
up
and
the
khakis
and
Ricard
covered
a
lot
of
what
I
wanted
to
say
as
well.
It's
a
great
job
to
everyone
that
spoke
before
me
now.
AD
What
I
just
want
to
add
to
it
is
that
a
lot
of
these
things
that
we
are
discussing
tonight,
we
are
having
to
discuss
it
because,
like
Caroline
said
a
lot
of
the
people
that
live
in
that
District
in
that
area,
look
like
people
like
me
so,
and
a
lot
of
these
people
also
are
people
that
have
mental
health
issues
and
having
to
deal
with
homeless
home
homelessness.
AD
AD
Think
that
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
solve
these
type
of
issues
that
we
are
discussing
tonight
so
I
think
we
should
not
end
at
just
providing
security
for
that
area,
but
figure
out
how
to
better
deal
with
homeless,
homelessness
and
mental
health
in
urban
economy.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
tonight,
Mr
chairman,
thank
you.
AC
A
few
years
ago,
when
this
was
discussed,
everybody
was
in
agreement
had
the
Board
of
Elections,
more
speed
order
which
you
should
make
with
public
and
for
the
people
that
are
living
there
and
I
think
we're
all
at
the
same
place
today.
The
difference
is
that
if
some
things
I
don't
know
what
happened
in
the
process,
some
of
these
things
I've
already
done,
and
they
haven't
been.
AE
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I'm,
going
to
be
brief,
because
this
is
Rocklin
Thomas
Jefferson,
any
others
covered
a
lot
of
what
I've
the
way
I
feel.
But
it's
my
district,
so
I
just
want
to
say.
Yes,
we
should
pass
this.
We
need
to.
We
need
to
prioritize
the
security
of
the
people
who
are
who
work
at
the
Board
of
Elections
who
go
to
the
Board
of
Elections.
But,
as
many
have
already
said,
we
we
also
have
to
convert
people
who
live
in
that
Community.
AE
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
struggling
in
that
Community
homelessness
is
on
the
rise.
A
lot
of
people
have
mental
health
issues
and
we
need
to
really
do
a
better
job
of
addressing
that
people.
The
the
students
at
Giffin
Elementary
School
their
parents.
They
come
to
me
because
they
feel
they're
concerned
about
the
safety
of
their
children,
and
so
you
know
it
is
a
wonderful
Community,
but
we
to
focus
on
addressing
the
issues
that
exist:
homelessness,
mental
health
issues
and
making
the
community
overall
a
safe
in
place.
