Description
The City of Beacon Council Workshop from Monday, October 24, 2022
A
B
All
right,
why
don't
we
start
up
so
good
evening?
Everyone!
This
is
not
the
official
council
meeting
there.
We
have
two
kinds
of
meetings.
We
have
the
formal
ones
where
we
conduct
business
and
pass
various
things.
This
is
a
workshop
and
the
workshop
is
where
the
council
gets
ready
for
the
formal
meetings
and
most
of
this
Workshop
will
be
about
budget.
But
we
have
one
item
that
we're
doing,
because
both
our
workshops
and
our
regular
meetings
are
broadcast
to
the
community.
B
D
B
Also
have
our
finance
director
Susan
Tucker,
our
police
chief,
Sans
Frost,
our
city
administrator,
Chris,
White,
I,
think
our
attorneys
are
not
online
but
rather
are
on
call
if
we
need
them.
There
are
no
issues
tonight
that
require
any
legal
advice
and
are
we
good
to
start
up
otherwise
I
think
so
we're
good
okay.
B
E
E
About
this
amazing
opportunity
that
has
come
to
fruition
about
three
years
ago,
a
gentleman
by
the
name
of
Thomas
schneck
met
with
me
and
said:
can
we
please
do
something
between
our
two
cities,
or
at
least
this
high
school
and
Thomas?
You
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
it,
but
while
I'm
speaking
I
would
like
all
the
children
to
come
up
and
start
filing
up
so
that
we
can
get
into
our
formation.
So
we
don't
take
up
too
much
time
so
go
ahead,
come
on.
B
E
E
G
Thank
you
Kelly,
so
yeah
I
just
want
to
say
also
thank
you
so
much
for
everybody
who
was
involved
so
the
city
council,
for
making
this
an
opportunity
for
us
today,
I
want
to
say
Kelly,
you've
been
wonderful
making
this
all
happening.
Three
years
ago,
we
started
that
Journey.
The
idea
was
back,
then
that
we
were
looking
for
a
partner
school
for
the
moxporn
gymnasium
in
gammarin,
which
is
a
suburb
of
Munich.
G
G
So
I
was
a
student
in
1983,
two,
basically
the
same
age.
You
guys
are
today
just
to
give
you
some
historical
reference.
Ronald
Reagan
was
the
president
at
this
point
and
what
Cole
was
the
German
Chancellor
at
this
point
and
I
graduated
two
years
later
and
then
moved
into
the
US
in
1995,
but
the
maximum
was
a
wonderful
way
for
us
or
for
me
personally
to
get
started.
G
Also,
my
friend
Jurgen
Buffa,
who
I
also
want
to
mention
he
was
also
a
graduate
from
that
high
school
and
really
gave
us
a
good
start
for
our
professional
career
later
on,
and
so
I'm
really
moved
today
that
we
have
this
opportunity
to
come
together
and
yeah
I
want
to
just
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
making
this
possible
for
the
school
for
the
high
school
system.
G
I
want
to
welcome
gilgan
and
myelin,
as
our
teachers
here
for
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
I
wish
all
the
best
for
the
students
have
a
wonderful
time
here
in
Beacon,
and
hopefully
all
of
your
parents
were
also
great
hosts.
I
want
to
thank
you
as
well,
very,
very
much
to
be
so
open
and
I
saw
the
pictures
today
with
the
posters
how
you
welcome
to
everybody.
G
H
H
Experience
and
I
do
speak
from
experience,
because
I
took
part
in
the
school
exchange
45
years
ago
with
Chicago,
and
without
that
exchange.
I
wouldn't
be
here
and
I'm
still
in
touch
with
my
host
family
there
and
so
I
wish
you
all
the
best,
and
you
also
a
life-changing
experience,
because
it
gets
people
together
and
countries
together,
and
this
is
I
guess
what
we
need
at
the
moment.
So
have
a
good
time.
All
of
you
thank
you.
E
I
Hi
I'm
Sophia
I'm
very
glad
that
this
whole
Exchange
program
worked
out
I'm
very
interested
in
different
cultures,
and
this
is
very
exciting
for
everyone,
including
the
PTO
Kelly's,
worked
very
hard
for
years
for
this.
What
happened
so
I
think
her
and
I.
Hopefully,
I
want
to
go
to
Germany,
so
bad
and
hang
out
with
Sylvia's
family,
so
I
hope
to
do
that
in
the
future.
I
J
You
yes
well
hi,
I'm,
Sylvia
and
I'm
also
really
happy
to
finally
be
here.
I
also
want
to
thank
everybody
again,
who
worked
so
hard
on
this
project
and
make
it
happen.
It's
just
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
improve
our
English,
but
also
to
learn
about
different
cultures,
and
it's
been
so
far,
really
really
cool
and
I'm.
Also
looking
forward
to
the
future
and
see
what
the
next
two
weeks
will
bring
and.
K
Hello,
I'm
Simon,
so
today,
first
period
we
had
this
German
classroom
and
it
was
very
nice
I'm,
very
thankful
that
we've
had
a
coffee
and
those
munchkins,
and
it
was
a
very
nice
and
I'm
very
thankful
for
it
because
it
delayed
my
my
jet
lag
for
about
four
hours
and
yeah
the
the
life
in
the
school.
It
was
very,
it
was
very
funny.
K
E
I
just
want
to
quickly
thank
all
the
teacher,
all
of
the
parents
for
opening
their
homes
in
their
hearts
to
these
children,
and
we
are
going
to
do
our
best
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
program
that
is
sustainable
and
lasts
for
years
to
come,
so
that
every
every
year
a
cohort
of
sophomores
can
can
experience
this
in
our
in
our
I
think
our
town
will
be
richer
for
it
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
hand
it
over
to
Mayor
kiriaku.
Thank
you.
B
B
Students
and
two
teachers
are
visiting
from
Beacon
to
Beacon
from
the
maxborn
gymnasium
beginning
October.
23Rd
is
that
today
that
was
yesterday.
Oh,
they
arrived
yesterday
and
whereas
a
number
of
residents
of
the
city
are
acting
as
host
families
for
these
visiting
students
and
teachers
during
the
two
weeks,
they
will
be
spending
in
Beacon.
Thank
you
all
and.
L
B
B
B
Should
I
hand
them
out
individually
or
maybe
I
could
place
them
somewhere,
so
I'm
going
to
place
them
all
somewhere,
you're
gonna,
you
got
them
okay,
so
I
think
the
other
thing
we
need
to
do
is
the
photo
opportunity.
Is
that
right
see
I
get
to
have
all
the
fun
I?
Don't
didn't
have
to
do
any
of
the
work
and
I'm
happy
to
do
it?
It's
one
of
my
one
of
my
best
roles.

B
B
D
P
I
will
start
out
just
with
the
first
page,
just
reading
off
the
the
overview,
the
department
of
responsibilities,
the
department
provides
protection
and
service
to
the
community
Around
the
Clock,
including
nights,
weekends
and
holidays.
It
is
the
mission
of
the
city
of
Deacon,
Police
Department,
to
provide
an
exemplary
level
of
service,
ensuring
Public,
Safety
and
a
peaceful
quality
of
life
for
the
residents
and
businesses
of
the
city
of
Beacon
and
all
who
may
visit
the
community.
P
The
department
works
to
accomplish
this
Mission
several
ways
the
department
has
handled
over
5
000
calls
to
date
in
2022.
These
include
responses
to
things
such
as
motor
vehicle
accidents,
domestic
domestic
disputes,
disorderly
people,
mental
health
needs,
Etc,
Department
also
seeks
to
engage
in
proactive
work
such
as
rotating
traffic
enforcement
and
patrols
of
neighborhoods
apartment
complexes
and
along
Main.
Street
Department
takes
pride
in
its
focus
on
being
involved
in
community
events
throughout
the
year.
Some
community
events
highlighted
ones
I
just
mentioned.
P
As
we've
done
the
bike
safety
day
at
the
New
Covenant
Learning
Center,
the
INB
can
back
to
school
event.
We
did
two
or
two
internships
this
spring
with
Marist
College
and
we've
done
a
couple
of
child
safety,
seat
checks
and
installations,
and
we
try
to
get
out
walking
on
Main
Street
in
some
of
the
apartment
complexes
as
much
as
we
possibly
can.
Q
P
The
city
of
Beacon
police
department
will
feature
the
same
structure
as
it
had
in
2022
The
three-person
Command
Staff
will
be
composed
of
a
chief
and
two
lieutenants.
The
detective
Bureau
is
made
up
of
a
sergeant
and
team
of
four
detectives.
27
officers
are
assigned
to
the
Patrol
Division
and
currently
has
which
currently
has
four
vacancies.
Department
expects
to
two
further
openings.
Next
year
we
have
two
officers
retire
next
year.
K
P
Officers
are
supported
by
a
civilian
staff
that
consists
of
two
clerical
members
and
two
dispatchers.
The
proposed
budget
adds
another
part-time
dispatcher
to
the
team.
The
department
is
also
supported
by
a
behavioral
health
specialist
for
Mental
Health
America,
who
was
assigned
to
the
city
and
is
included
in
this
year's
budget.
Finally,
the
department
has
a
part-time
domestic
violence
advocate
from
the
domestic
abuse
response
team,
who
has
an
office
in
the
department
facilities
but
is
funded
by
Dutchess
County
in.
K
P
We
hired
a
new
police
assistant,
she's
working
full-time,
steady
evenings
Monday
through
Friday,
four
to
twelve
she's,
actually,
a
graduate
of
our
Beacon
youth
Police
Academy
a
little
while
back
yeah
she's
been
doing
a
great
job.
She's
came
with
a
little
bit
of
Prior
experience.
She
worked
for
the
town
of
East
fiscal
part-time
and
she
also
was
involved
with
the
cadet
program
in
the
town
of
Fishkill,
but
her
working
Monday
through
Friday
4
to
12
actually
helps
us
free
up
an
officer
instead
of
working
the
desk.
P
The
officer
can
now
go
on
the
street
and
handle
things
out
there.
Overtime
concerns
we've
had
a
big
problem
with
overtime
this
year.
The
overview
says
we've
had
as
many
as
eight
openings
we've
averaged
about
nine
openings.
A
month.
This
year
we
started
out
the
year
with
30
sworn
officers.
At
the
end
of
June,
we
hired
two
more
which
got
us
up
to
32
we're
budgeted
for
36..
We
had
three
long-term
injuries.
This
year
we
had
one
officer
with
a
work-related
injury
in
February
who
just
came
back
to
work.
P
This
week
we
had
another
officer
with
a
work-related
injury,
was
hit
by
a
drunk
driver
in
February.
He's
still
out
he's
had
neck
surgery
and
he's
not
scheduled
to
be
back
till
sometime
next
year,
and
we
had
an
officer
with
an
off-duty
injury
that
required
back
surgery,
and
he
was
out
for
six
months
this
year.
Also
because
of
the
coveted
pandemic
we
had,
an
officer
was
in
the
National.
Guard
was
activated
for
about
a
month
and
a
half
this
year
to
assist
with
that
also
because
of
covert.
P
We
have
another
officer
who's
currently
in
The
Duchess
County,
Police,
Academy
he's
scheduled
to
graduate
in
December,
and
then
he
has
three
months
of
field
training,
so
he
won't
be
starting
to
count
on
the
shifts
till
the
end
of
March,
beginning
of
April
of
next
year,
and
we
currently
today,
we've
asked
for
the
a
new
County
list,
so
we
can
start
going
off
of
that
sign
and
see
if
we
can
scramble
to
get
three
more
officers.
I.
C
P
Want
to
say
scramble
because
we're
going
to
do
our
due
diligence
with
the
backgrounds
and
everything
but
they're
talking
about
another
Police
Academy,
possibly
in
January
or
February.
So
we
need
to
try
to
hire
what
we
can
to
get
officers
into
that
Academy
and,
like
I
said
previously,
we
have
an
officer
due
to
retire
in
April
and
one
could
retire
as
early
as
September
of
next
year.
I,
don't
know
exactly
when
he's
going,
but
it
could
be
as
early
as
September.
It
might
stay.
P
P
Thanks
to
a
drunk
driver,
one
of
our
unmarked
cars
got
told
on
the
parking
lot
and
we're
going
to
replace
that
with
a
an
electric
vehicle.
The
driver
went
through
the
guardrail
up
here
and
down
into
the
lot
and
struck
our
unmarked
car
in
the
parking
lot
and
totaled
it.
So
the
insurance
company
actually
just
got
back
with
us
today
about
the
amount,
so
we
can
start
looking
to
replace
it
with
an
electric
vehicle.
Yeah.
R
D
P
Unmarked
vehicles
detectives
use
the
unmarked
Vehicles,
the
administrative
staff
uses
the
unmarked
vehicles
and
they're,
actually
it's
cheaper
to
put
them
on
the
road
than
a
marked
car.
So
if
we
don't
have
to
mark
them
up
and
put
all
the
equipment
in,
it
saves
us
some
money
with
the
unmarked
vehicles.
P
Okay,
we
are
looking
to
hire
a
police
assistant
next
year,
part-time,
try
to
cover
Saturday
and
Sunday
day
shift.
This
will
help
push
another
officer
onto
the
street
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
day
shift,
for
instance,
this
this
past
Sunday.
We
had
a
Pumpkin
Festival
in
town
and
we
had
a
dispatcher
come
in
to
help
cover
the
shift
which
freed
up
an
officer
to
work
the
Pumpkin
Festival
this
Sunday.
P
So
it's
it's
less
costly
to
pay
the
dispatcher
than
the
police
officer,
yeah
and
so
we're
looking
to
hire
this
office.
We
have
there's
just
a
police
assistance
exam
where
we
hire
our
dispatchers
from
our
police
assistance
from
and
we're
looking
to
hire
someone
off
the
new
list.
When
it
comes
out
the
dispatcher
we
have
working
now
the
police
assistant
that
works
Monday
through
Friday,
four
to
twelve
she's,
actually
on
the
police
list.
P
P
C
P
Well,
so
to
lease
force,
it
flock
safety
cameras
just
to
read
this
here.
For
you,
the
during
the
past
year,
the
city
of
Beacon
has
seen
several
unfortunate
instances
of
violent
crime.
The
department
has
found
that,
with
some
some
serious
offenses
suspects
either
come
from
outside
of
the
beacon
or
maybe
residents
but
leaving
the
area
after
the
crime
has
occurred.
To
help
address
the
concern
we
have
requested
funding
in
the
Department's
2023
budget
for
four
flock
safety
cameras
to
be
used
at
the
four
entrances,
slash
exits
of
the
city.
P
This
has
the
potential
to
save
many
investigative
hours,
which
are
vitally
important
for
making
quick
progress
on
complicated
investigations
in
our
small
detective
Bureau.
This
system
can,
let
us
know
the
direction
in
which
an
involved
vehicle
left
the
city
or
help
to
determine
if
such
never
left
Beacon
at
all.
P
This
is
an
important
initiative
to
help
our
department
better,
ensure
the
safety
of
our
residents
and
to
investigate
serious
crimes
that
are
committed
in
our
community,
so
basically
how
they
would
work
if
we
have
a
suspect
vehicle,
we
can
actually
program
the
cameras
that
this
is
the
vehicle
we're
looking
for.
With
I
mean
obviously
the
more
information
we
have,
the
less
hits
we'll
get
right.
If
we
have
a
plate
number
that's
great,
but
we
might
just
have
a
description
of
a
vehicle
and
then
we
can
put
that
in
and
then
when
a
vehicle
fit
in.
P
That
description
goes
by
the
cameras.
It
could
alert
our
phones
that
that
vehicle
just
either
entered
or
left
the
city
at
that
time,
and
that
can
help
us
when
we
get
a
violent
crime
and
get
a
vehicle
description,
help
us
to
determine
if
the
vehicles
left
the
city
or,
if
it's
even
still
in
the
city,
that
that
can
save
us
a
lot
of
time
right
now.
If
they
leave
the
city,
we
don't
know
if
we're
trying
to
play
a
guessing
game
which
direction
they
want,
and
we
can.
You
know
we're
reaching
out.
P
We
can
reach
out
down
by
Cold
Spring.
They
have
an
LPR
reach
out
to
the
bridge
Authority.
But
if,
if
we
know
where
they
went,
what
direction
they
went
in
the
first
place,
it
can
save
us
some
time
because
we
reach
out
to
the
bridge
Authority
they're
great
to
work
with.
But
there's
a
lot
of
cameras
on
averages
and,
and
it's
it
take
that's
it's
a
little
time
consuming
if
they
haven't
gone
that
way,
we're
looking
for
a
vehicle
that
never
went
there.
P
So
this
would
save
us
some
time
and
it
also
allows
us
to
to
work
with
other
agencies
that
have
this
system
right
now.
The
City
of
Poughkeepsie,
City
of
Middletown
and
Village
of
Goshen
have
this
system
in
place,
and
next
year
the
share
Dutchess
County
Sheriff's
Office,
the
town
of
Hyde
Park,
the
Town
of
Poughkeepsie
and
the
town
of
East
fishco
police.
We're
looking
to
go
to
these
cameras
so
the
way
it
works.
You
get
a
written
agreement
with
them
and
allow
us
to
share
information
back
and
forth
between
between
the
Departments.
A
P
L
P
R
P
D
The
city
has
direct
access
to
download
the
information
and
would
only
use
it
when
we
have
investigations
and
we've
had
a
couple
circumstances
where
the
Chiefs
detectives
are
chasing
videos
in
other
towns
to
try
to
figure
out
where
a
suspect
went,
and
this
would
just
give
us
a
read
on
the
license
plate
as
they
enter
and
exit
the
city.
So
we'd
know
if
the
car
was
still
here
in
Beacon.
P
The
the
money
in
the
budgets
actually
for
2023
and
we'll
cover
2024
also
it
also
uncoversed
the
installation
it
covers
any
software
upgrades
it
covers
the
you
know
the
allowing
of
sharing
with
other
departments
that
have
this
the
installation,
the
maintenance
them
showing
us.
You
know
actually
how
it
works
when
we
do
have
it
installed
up
and
running
in
the
testing
of
it.
So
that's
what
the
that's
what's
budgeted
for
is.
It
should
cover
the
2023
and
2024.
C
O
N
A
A
A
A
Centered
Society
smiley
faces
go
a
long
way,
I,
don't
know
the
cost
of
these
machines.
If
we're
saying
that,
maybe
there's
you
know,
four
entrances
and
I
get
exits
to
the
city.
Maybe
we
only
need
four
of
them.
So
if
we
can,
you
know
clock
people
when
they're
entering
town
or
we
can
move
them
around,
but
you
know
perhaps
we
could
look
into
getting
that
equipment.
S
S
P
A
B
So
certainly
anyone
who's
been
here
for
any
length
of
time.
The
most
effective
speed
limit
reduction.
Is
you
what
you
observe
in
the
village
of
Cold
Spring
right
squad,
cars?
Are
there
you
get
your
tickets
and
you
learn
really
quickly
and
I.
Think
everybody
knows
it
right.
Certainly
the
easiest
way
yeah.
D
We
go
I'm
going
back
to
the
technology
of
having
the
radar
units
I,
don't
know
that
we
need
four,
because
we
can
move
them
around,
but
I'd
like
to
the
one
that
we
have
isn't
very
good.
You
can
only
see
it
from
one
side:
it's
not
really
mobile.
It's
not
on
Wheels
I'd
like
to
actually
invest
in
something
that's
good
and
would
last
a
while.
So
what
I'd
propose
is
to
put
it
in
the
capital
budget
when
we
put
that
in
in
May.
P
A
Yeah
I
mean
you
know
we're
not
going
to
the
cab
on
our
budget
this
year
so
and
that
and
I
think
that
Delta
was
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
I'd
I
mean
I'd
be
glad
to
help
with
the
pricing
of
these
things.
If,
if
it's
just,
if
it's
just
like
the
amount
of
time
that
it
takes
to
price
them
out,
I
think
it
would
be
important
to
have
it
in
the
budget
where
we
know
that
there's
possibly
money
that
we
can
use,
and
then
we
don't
have
to
wait.
A
I
need
to
say
that,
because
we'll
get
to
May
and
that's
you
know,
that's
six
or
seven
months
from
now
and
then
we're
not
even
sure
if
it'll
be
in
the
first
year
of
the
capital
plan-
and
you
know
it
could
go
to-
could
go
down
the
road
a
little
bit
so
I'm
kind
of
eager
for
this.
It's
something
that
I've
been
thinking
about
for
a
while.
D
B
B
D
P
Definitely
up
from
covered
years
because
in
covert
was
just
the
opposite
approach,
we're
trying
not
to
be
proactive,
trying
not
to
have
too
much
interaction
unless
it
was
necessary,
the
public
to
so
we
weren't
exposed
or
nor
exposed
in
the
public
to
us
right
China.
So
there
was
a
lot
of
proactive
work
was,
was
cut
back
during
covet.
C
D
L
P
We
only
have
to
do
with
the
Manpower.
We
have
and
obviously
calls
for
service
take
a
priority,
so
that
has
to
you
know,
be
our
priority
and
then,
when
we're
not
handling
calls
for
service
or
doing
the
paperwork
on
that
afterwards,
then
we
do
vehicle
and
traffic
enforcement.
We
try
to
do
some
walking
posts.
We
have.
You
know
we
try
to
get
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods
and
Patrol.
P
The
the
Youth
Academy
is
in
there,
which
is
actually
the
advisory
committee,
was
a
police
advisory
committee
was
asking
for
us
to
put
that
in
there
and
we
actually
ran
the
Youth
Academy
this
year
and
a
lot
of
times
that's
been
getting
done.
Basically
asking
people
for
money
right,
we've
been
getting
donations
to
run
that,
and
the
advisory
committee
was
kind
of
adamant
like
Elena
white.
Why
do
we
have
to
rely
on
that?
P
Can't
we
just
budget
that
so
we
put
four
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget
for
that
most
of
that
would
go
to
play
for
bus
to
pay
for
busing,
because
it
involves
some
of
the
week
involves
field
trips.
We
brought
the
kids
to
Westchester
County
Police
Department
to
the
state
police,
Aviation
unit
city
of
Newburgh,
Court
courtroom.
When
we
broke
some
of
that's
on
field
trips,
because
we
just
don't
want
the
kids
sitting
in
a
classroom
all
day
and
they
do
some
classroom
stuff.
They
we
they
see
different
people
within
the
law
enforcement
agency.
P
We
had
an
FBI
agent,
come
in
a
D.A,
investigator
leshavius,
our
behavioral
health
specialist
I
gave
her
presentations
to
them,
see
what
he
does
with
us,
and
we
try
to
you
know,
did
his
canine
demonstration.
We
try
to
mix
it
up
and
also
the
teenagers
we
give
them
lunch
every
day
and
teenagers
eat
a
lot.
P
Been
a
great
interaction
with
us
and
the
and
the
teenagers
to
take
part.
It's
for
kids
through
9
through
12
grade
9
through
12.
in
the
the
first
classes.
We
did
are
just
coming
of
age
where,
if
they're
interested
in
the
criminal
justice
field
they're
starting
to
to
come
of
age,
for
that,
we
our
dispatchers,
actually
a
graduate
from
this,
and
we're
doing
a
background
right
now.
If
everything
finishes
up
good,
that
person
he's
also
a
graduate
from
the
from.
P
Youth
Academy
and
that's
just
it's
just
to
show
them
a
little
bit
about
the
criminal
justice
field.
That
builds
up
a
great
bond
with
the
officers
and
the
kids
involved,
and
then
let
me
just
show
them
different
things
about
it.
If
they're
interested
they
go,
you
know
we
do
a
practice,
Civil
Service
tests
with
them.
We
show
them
what
the
physical
fitness
test
is
about
and
it's
the
kids
in
the
officers
seem
to
have
a
great
week
and
that
that
Bond
seems
to
stay
for
a
long
time.
A
A
I
think
the
council
is
supposed
to
review
the
recommendations
of
the
committee
and
then
and
then
vote
to
determine
which
ones
we're
going
to
proceed
with
so
I'm
inclined
to
you
know
if
we're
if
we're,
if
we
don't
find
money
for
the
for
the
speed,
the
radar
meters
to
take
it
from
this
spot.
Possibly
the
only
way
I
can
really
see
keeping
this
in.
It's
we're
doing
an
academy
for
only
one
part
of
the
city
government.
A
P
D
P
B
So
that's
that
piece
and
again
it's
just
been
sitting
in
my
office
for
a
while
and
someone
has
to
get
to
it.
So
we
will
and
then
yeah
the
we
run,
the
equivalence
we
run,
one
for
fire,
one
for
police.
We
won
the
Green
teens,
those
are
the
ones
we
do.
We
don't
do
one
for
Highway,
Department
I
guess
we
could.
D
R
D
The
community
investment
Grant
yeah
and
we
have
hired
off
of
green
tin,
so
the
I
mean
it
is
again
we're
we
look
at
pipelines
to
try
to
figure
out
how
how
we
get
people
to
be
interested
in
all
all
parts
of
Public
Service
and
again
we
found
that
these
academies
give
students
that
might
normally
not
think
about
a
career
with
policing
or
fire.
You
know
again,
if
you
don't
have
that
in
your
family,
you've
not
been
exposed
to
it.
So
in
trying
to
diversify
our
ranks,
these
economies
actually
offer
a
chance
to
say:
hey.
M
A
Four:
zero:
zero,
zero
yeah;
yes,
okay!
So
it's
the
I'm
just
looking
at
the
numbers
here.
The
story
is
that
we
we
projected
to
get
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand.
We
only
got
35
it'll,
probably
go
up
a
little
more
during
the
holidays,
and
then
next
year
we
hope
to
do.
63.
was
like
120,
an
unattainable
number.
Was
it
related
to
Staffing
or.
E
P
Yeah
no
I
mean
like
I
said:
tickets
are
up
now,
maybe
a
lot
of
it
was
down
due
to
covid
and
even
I'll.
Take
his
parking
or
or
moving
violations
were
down.
I
know:
I
got
to
work
quite
quickly
in
Thornton
Cove,
because
there
was
nobody
on
the
road
in
front
of
me
right.
So
there
was,
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
traffic.
There
wasn't
a
lot,
no
Main
Street
business
would
close
down.
So
a
lot
of
the
parking
problems
and
and
traffic
problems
were
weren't
around
during
covet.
A
L
P
Know
there
was
a
email
sent
out
just
to
answer
some
questions
on
that
there
was
a
question
about
the
school
crossing
guards
and
we
have
eight
posts,
and
over
the
summer
we've
been
able
to
hire
enough
people
to
fill
all
eight
posts
and
have
two
backups,
so
that
should
help
us
out,
because
when
we
didn't
have
those
filled
either
highway
department
or
us
we're
we're
filling
some
of
those
posts.
So,
like
I
said,
we
have
eight
positions.
The
eight
positions
are
filled
with
two
backups.
P
N
P
And
there
was
a
question
about
case
management
which
is
452021,
and
that
is
our
contract
with
Mental
Health
America
and
having
leshavius
working
with
us
as
a
behavioral
health
specialist.
That
program's
been
doing
very
well
and
actually
we've
become
a
model
for
other
agencies
us
and
say
because
we
have
had
it.
P
Actually,
myself
and
leshavis
went
to
the
conference
of
Mayors
earlier
this
year
and
talked
about
the
program
up
there
with
the
different
mayors
from
from
around
the
country,
and
it
seems
to
be
picking
off
picking
up
and
hopefully
hopefully
it
spreads
the
other
agencies
and
they
absorb
this
and
get
the
program
going
in
their
departments
and
I.
Think
the
retirement
was
another
question
right.
N
There
was
a
question
about
why
there
there's
not
an
amount
in
the
22
budget.
At
this
point
for
retirement,
the
payment
for
retirement
is
made
in
December
of
each
year.
It's
actually
prepayment
for
the
following
year,
so
it
the
22
actual,
is
really
on
a
cash
basis.
At
what
you
see
here
and
so
I
wouldn't
accrue
the
amount
if
it
spread
over
another
year,
there
would
be
in
a
girl,
so
the
the
retirement
amount
of
a
million
dollars
will
be
it's
actually
December
15th.
R
P
It's
it's
been,
it's
mixes
up
a
little
bit
each
year,
but
it
has.
They
have
spoken
to
a
judge.
They
have
spoken
to
a
defense
attorney
that
we
we
try
to
mix
it
up
as
best
we
can.
Obviously
we
have
a
block
week
and
then
we
we
have
to
get
people
who
are
available
to
help
us
out
that
week,
so
they
they
do,
try
to
mix
that
up,
and
they
have
done
that
in
the
past
and
this
year
they
went
to
a
city
of
Newburgh
Courthouse
to
watch
how
things
were
working
over
there.
L
R
F
C
L
C
F
P
Unfortunately,
it's
just
the
rise
in
cost
of
everything,
we're
not
doing
anything
different
than
we
do
this
year,
we're
meeting
all
the
training
requirements
that
we
get
through:
New
York
state
division
of
Criminal,
Justice,
Services,
New,
York,
State,
accreditation
and
there's
case
law.
That
also
dictates
what
we
do
and
it's
really
just
compensating
for
increases
and
and
whether
it's
ammunition
Firearms
parts.
We
do
you
know
cleaning
supplies,
targets,
purchasing
targets,
purchasing,
hearing
protection,
eye
protection,
just
the
cost
of
things,
Rising,
there's
just
no
additional
things,
we're
adding
to
it.
F
P
Well,
we
do
two
eight
hour
blocks
of
firearms
training.
Every
year
we
do
two
eight
hour
blocks
of
Patrol
rifle
training,
not
everybody
has
a
patrol
rifle
assigned
to
them
and
then
in
that
that
incorporates
shoot,
don't
shoot,
drills
and
shoot
rates
right
now
we're
doing
the
night
shoot
because
that's
just
covered
in
case
law,
because
most
police
involved
shootings
are
done
at
night.
F
P
P
D
B
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
add
an
anecdote
which
was
I,
was
walking.
Main
Street
on
Saturday
and
saw
two
of
the
officers
out
walking
and
I
was
really
pleased
because
they
were
part
of
the
regular
shift
right.
So
it
wasn't,
it
wasn't
an
overtime
situation
right,
they
parked
their
cars
nearby
and
they
walk
a
couple
blocks
and
I
thought.
That's
just
excellent
right,
because
our
our
history
and
you've
been
around
long
enough
to.
P
L
P
C
P
Got
to
compliment
my
officers,
I
really
got
a
good
crew
down
there.
I
their
their
work
ethic
is
is
very
good.
You
know,
I,
don't
have
any
bullies
I,
don't
have
anybody
trying
to
prove
anything,
I
think
if
they
could
come
to
work
and
not
have
a
problem
all
day
they
would.
It
would
be
quite
that's.
It
would
be
a
blessing
right.
It's
just
to
keep
that
up.
So
the
work
ethic
downstairs
I
think
is,
is
very
good
and
my
my
officers
I
think
do
a
really
good
job
out
there
on
the
street.
P
Even
when
they're
dealing
with
people
upset
they've
been
doing
a
really
good
job
with
the
escalating
de-escalation
and
everything,
and
they
do
do
a
good
job
with
our
mental
health,
our
Behavioral
Health
Specialists.
You
know
he
he's
here
40
hours
a
week,
but
he
follows
up
on
things
that
happen
overnight
on
weekends
and
they're
good
at
you
know
talking
with
him
and
relaying
information
to
him,
whether
it's
through
email
or
notes
or
or
talking
to
them
in
person
and
I-
think
that's
been
a
it's
been
good.
P
P
Yeah
myself
and
you
know,
I,
don't
make
this
decision
myself.
I
talk
to
lesabis
I
talked
to
his
boss
and
just
looking
at
the
workload
having
two
behavioral
self-help,
Specialists
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
the
workload
to
to
justify
the
expense.
So
you
know
leshavis
is
you
know,
I
think
we
definitely
have
in
one
full-time
behavioral.
P
Health
specialist
is
good
for
this
city
and
he
spends
a
lot
of
time
following
up
and
trying
to
get
people
help
and
obviously
not
everybody
says
he
has
to
help
right
away
right
and
but
I
I,
don't
think
we
can
justify
too
and
I.
Don't
think
Mental
Health
America.
Well,
they
agree
with
me.
They
don't
believe
it
justifies
the
second
person
here
either.
P
P
So,
whether
he's
dealing
with
social
services
or
other
people
in
the
mental
health
field,
you
know
that's
that's
when
he
can
make
most
of
his
contacts
he's
good
to
follow.
One
up,
you
know.
So
if
we
deal
with
somebody,
eight
o'clock
tonight
and
Los
Angeles
comes
in
tomorrow
morning
and
someone
left
to
me
plus
he
has
access
to
our
cases
and
our
blotters
and
our
arrest
report.
A
P
When
he
comes
back,
we
follow
up,
but
another
thing
with
Mental
Health
America,
with
their
expansion.
They
actually
asked
if
we
could
be
a
site
for
them
to
field
trained
also
so
when
they
get
people
who
are
going
to
work
with
other
agencies
to
have
them
come
down
here
and
work
with
the
savias
and
us
and
spend
some
time
on
the
street
with
us
to
see
what
leshavis
is
doing
and
how
things
work
in
there.
So
that
was
a
nice
compliment
that
they
offered
that
to
us.
They
consider
us
for
that.
R
D
We
didn't
put
any
in
the
budget
we
did
have
actual,
though
that
came
in
okay
and
that
we
paid
that
line
for
so
we
track.
If,
if
there's
a
film
we
let
them
know
what
the
cost
is
going
to
be
up
front,
they
have
to
agree
to
pay
for
it
in
order
to
get
the
permit
and
then
that's
tracked
by
Finance.
So
it
goes
back
against
the
line.
So
there's
a
different
expense
line,
I
believe
right.
Sue.
We
did
that
there.
N
Was
a
different
expense
line
for
films,
so
if
some
officers
were
assigned
to
a
film,
it
would
go
through
payroll,
a
charge
to
that
line
when
we
received
the
reimbursement
for
that
we've
net,
we're
now
breaking
it
up
and
the
piece
that's
just
police
overtime
of
the
film
goes
to
one
line,
which
is
the
police
event
overtime
for
films
and
the
other
piece
is
up
a
little
bit
higher
and
that
would
be
the
overhead
for
films.
So
Chris
wanted
to
separate
those
two
out,
so
we
could
track
that
separately.
D
R
I
had
a
question
about
the
canine
unit.
I
recall
a
couple
years
ago.
A
conversation
about
there
was
an
officer
who
had
been
with
this
unit
for
a
long
time,
but
was
maybe
going
to
be
retiring
soon,
and
we
wanted
to
extend
the
program
because
it
had
been
helpful
in
the
past,
but
that
we
would
maybe
the
city
might
reevaluate
the
program
after
this
officer
retired.
Is
that
still
the
idea.
R
P
R
P
L
N
N
D
D
And
while
Gary's
getting
ready,
I'm
I'm
going
to
just
take
a
moment
to
honor
Gary,
because
he
retired
this
year
after
eight
years
with
the
city
and
a
long
career
in
firematics,
and
he
has
come
back
part-time
to
work
with
us
until
we
hire
a
new
fire
chief.
And
we
are
working
on
that
diligently.
But
we're
awfully
glad
that
Gary's
still
here.
C
Q
Q
They
honored
it
yes,
1200
yep
so
anyway.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
evening
tonight,
I'll
just
highlight
through
here
I,
don't
have
to
read
everything
about
the
the
fire
department,
like
the
police,
department
or
public
service
servants
to
the
city,
and
our
mission
is
not
to
protect
lives,
property
and
respond
to
fires,
natural
disaster,
emergency,
medical
emergencies
and
accidents
and
there's
a
long
list
of
other
things
that
we
do
I
mean
once
somebody's
in
trouble.
Q
They
call
9-1-1
either
the
police
fire
or
the
ambulance,
we're
all
going
to
that,
and
with
that,
it's
typical
with
responses
over
1900
and
2021.
We're
on
we're
on
a
course
to
be
close
to
that
again
and
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
EMS
cost,
but
also
when
you
have
a
city
of
five
square
miles
and
we
build
more
buildings,
different
things
and
you
put
a
stove
in
every
apartment
or
something
like
that.
Q
We're
not
talking
anything
crucial,
hopefully
doesn't
happen,
but
things
happen
everything
now
with
code
enforcement's
in
our
favor,
you
have
smoke
detectors.
You
know
how
easy
they
go
off.
Someone
has
to
answer
every
one
of
those
calls
and
mitigate
that
so
I
predict
our
calls.
Volumes
will
go
up
on
that
something
I'm
really
happy
about
this
year.
So
on
the
bottom
there's
the
book,
fire
prevention,
education,
we've
already
gone,
gone
out
and
reached
out
and
over
900
from
preschoolers
to
elementary
schools,
fire
prevention,
safety
presentation
that
Coba
took
away
from
us.
Q
We
could
even
see
in
my
budget
for
a
couple
years:
I
didn't
buy
any
fire
prevention
items
and
I'm
happy
to
say
the
crew,
the
crews
they
they
have
they
like
it.
You
get
the
little
picture
there.
You
can
see
that
and
it's
interesting
from
how
we
interact
with
the
preschoolers
and
then
when
we
get
to
the
third
fifth
graders
they've
been
there.
They
are
they.
They
throw
some
great
questions
out
there
on
that.
Q
Our
staffing
we're
trying
to
budget
for
an
extra
person
to
17
career
firefighters,
I'm,
happy
to
say
this
year.
Now
we
have
like
right
now,
there's
a
lieutenant
on
duty.
All
the
time.
There's
four
firefighters
on
duty.
One
of
them
is
an
officer
I
mean
they
went
to
the
waste
treatment
plant
while
I've
been
here.
Q
You
know,
unless
it's
you
know
really
bad
incident,
I
monitor
on
my
phone
and
different
things,
they're
taking
care
of
that
situation
with
that
which
adds
later
on
to
cost
they
go
to
four
weeks
to
New
York
City
to
a
fire
officer's
class,
that's
paid
by
the
state
of
New
York
that
whole
time
that
they're
down
there
and
then
we
do
have
to
back.
Then
we
have
to
pay
for
overtime
for
that
that
situation
they
pay
for
transportation.
Q
Everything
so
two
out
of
the
four
there's
a
big
list:
that's
usually
New
York
City
guys
get
it
first,
but
I've
been
kind
of
pushy
because
who
knows
I
got
two
last
year
and
I
have
scheduled
two
this
year,
one
for
February
one
for
April.
So
then
we'll
be
up
to
code
by
New
York
State,
the
requirements
that
an
officer
needs
to
have
on
that.
Q
So
whether
we
talk
about
we
talk
about
some
things
to
help
out
EMTs
the
vnemt,
which
is
a
big
demand
out
there
now.
But
if
a
volunteer
firefighter
wants
to
be
an
EMT,
we
have
a
female
firefighter
right
now
in
a
class.
They
they
pass
the
class
we
meeting
the
city
we
pay
them
for
the
classes
like
700
dollars
and
Senator
would
be
a
volunteer
to
send
him
to
be
an
EMT.
Q
Q
Q
Of
course,
we
all
know
about
the
fire
station
that
we're
working
on,
and
there
were
some
questions
about
budgeting
items
for
that
we
may
get
in
some
little
things
later.
Soft
cost
things
maybe
Furniture
something
like
that,
but
that
won't
be
till
2024,
we'll
know
well
into
the
fall
of
next
year.
If
we're
gonna
have
to
buy
some
different
items
this
night,
but
we
I
pretty
much
think
we
got
them
covered.
Q
Q
When
that
just
going
back
there
there's
some
things
that
could
be
auctioned
to
like
the
generator
that's
over
there.
He
has
30
years
old,
but
someone
will
buy
that
and
about
four
years
ago
there
was
two
new
boilers
put
in
Tompkin
hose
we'll
auction
them
off.
The
city
will
get
some
money
back
from
that.
The
volunteers
have
been
doing
a
great
job
of
Lewis
Tompkin
hose
and
it's
a
hard
for
them
over
100
Years
of
items
they
have
in
there.
Q
They
are
moving
stuff
out
for
January
one
date
to
shut
the
firehouse
down
for
HazMat
mitigation,
on
that
so
they're
doing
a
great
job.
With
that
I'll
talk
about
the
fire
academy,
so
we
we
actually
started
the
fire
academy
and
then
the
police
jumped
in.
We
did
it
the
week
before
a
week
after,
but
I
did
it
sorry
Chief
a
little
different.
Did
the
city
help
us
a
little
bit
in
a
sense,
maybe
I?
That's
why
Susan
wants
me.
Q
I
used
other
outside
nature,
like
the
star
State,
Fire,
Marshals
I
had
them
come
in,
the
resources
would
come
in
set
up
a
Smoke
House.
They
have
an
extinguisher
system
where
use
an
extinguisher
put
a
fire
out.
Newburgh
firefighters
would
bring
their
boat
over
we'd,
get
them
all
on
the
boat,
go
down
to
Bannerman's
Island
this
and
that
the
sheriff's
department
at
arson
dog
would
bring
at
be
vac
taught
CPR
to
them.
That's
all
at
no
cost.
Q
Q
You
know
they
didn't
have
overtime,
demand,
they're
two
guys
with
the
boat
to
come
over,
but
we
used
to
do
meals,
I,
think
our
local
communities
like
brothers
and
sows
one
day
we'd
have
pizza
the
Elks
Club
donated
money
to
buy
their
t-shirts,
so
I
just
kind
of
went
out
and
solicited
a
little
bit
to
get
help
from
different
people.
My
wife
was
there
many
days
because
we
had
we
had
females
there.
If
we
had
a
big
fire
I
had
to
leave,
you
know
so
we
had.
Q
We
made
sure
the
cupboard
the
union
would
cook
for
them.
Lunch
one
day
right
there
at
the
fire
outside
the
firehouse
here,
but
I
brought
in
we
talked
about
not
just
being
a
firefighter
I
was
opening
their
eyes
up
to
other
avenues.
I
had
the
Red
Cross
come
here
and
talked
about
disasters
one
day
for
for
about
an
hour.
I,
let
be
back
talk
about
well,
we
had
Mobile
Life
come
in
with
our
hand,
let's
show
them
what
a
real
trauma
rig
is.
Q
We
we
had
that
too,
and
so
we
had,
and
we
had,
the
sheriff's
department
come
in
with
that
with
the
dog,
so
we
told
them
there's
other
avenues
to
go
in.
Besides
being
a
firefighter
with
that
class,
we
did
get
a
couple
Volunteers
in
a
short
time.
Then
they
moved
on
to
other
departments
this
and
that
we
do
have
a
volunteer
right
now
was
actually
from
the
very
first
class.
He
joined
the
new
Beacon
Volunteer
Fire
Department.
Q
So
that's
the
answer
about
the
money,
so
the
city
didn't
really
pay.
Much
like
I'd
have
to
something
to
spend
like
we'd
go
the
air
guard
which
they
could
look
at
military
firefighters.
We
went
to
the
station
over
there.
We
would
go
and
have
to
rent
a
school
bus
for
something
like
that
on
the
way
back,
we
stopped
at
McDonald's,
Newburgh
and
Louis
Tomkin
hose
bought
lunch
for
everybody
volunteers
who
did
that
so
I
kind
of
solicit
everybody
on
that
deal
excited
about
the
creation
of
a
new
firefighter
position.
Q
Q
We
hire
hour
for
our
firemen
for
farming,
there's
four
guys
on
a
day
when
one's
off,
if
they're
off
12
hours,
we
have
to
hire
12
hours,
we're
almost
hiring.
We
probably
are
hiring
every
day
it
could
be,
maybe
just
12
hours,
January
February,
not
so
much,
but
with
the
crew
time
off,
but
this
year,
overtime.
Well,
first
I'll
go
back
to
this
person.
This
person
is
going
to
fill
in
for
extended
periods
when
we
know
this
year
was
the
most
unhealthy
year
for
the
fire
department
in
nine
years
with
two
Duty
injuries.
Q
You
know
not
severe,
but
I
mean
one
was
actually
a
slip.
I
don't
have
to
tell
a
slip
on
our
floor
up
there,
which
the
new
floors
will
have
some
anti-slip
that
just
it's
smooth
as
the
stable.
A
young
man
hurt
his
knee.
So
with
that,
if
we
had
this
extra
person,
we
could
jump
that
person
on
someone
that's
off
for
two
months,
something
like
that
and
fill
in
that
day.
Q
So
we
don't
have
to
hire
and
also
we
had
some
not
as
bad
as
before,
but
we
did
have
people
off
on
covet
and
then
you
have
your
normal
loan
sickly,
but
I
mean
if
someone
breaks
their
arm
leg,
that's
six
weeks
off.
They
can't
be
a
firefighter
come
in.
That's
where
we
can
utilize
this
person
also
with
having
having
a
person
a
floater
person
like
early
this
year,
I
had
to
pay
overtime
for
six
months
for
one
person,
because
Mike
Merritt
had
retired,
there's
only
academies
spring
and
fall.
Q
So
we
already
missed
the
fall
one:
okay,
so
I'm
already
putting
name
you
know
a
John
Doe
and
for
maybe
for
someone
next
year
to
hold
it
a
class.
So
if
we
had
this
person
already
on
board,
say
someone
retired
or
left,
we
could
put
that
person
on
that
shift
right
away.
We
would
not
have
to
hire
every
day
for
that
person.
That's
off.
It
would
fill
in
for
that.
Q
Of
course,
every
year
asked
for
four
extra
guys,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
you
know,
get
one:
let's
take
some
baby
step.
First
on
that,
so
we're
exciting.
That
happens
and
goes
through
just
a
couple
other
things
and
I'll
leave
it
to
you.
We're
looking
forward
to
also
coordinate
with
the
building
department.
Q
So
right
now
our
firemen
we
go
out
with
the
construction
in
the
city
and
all
the
vendors
are
very
good
when
they're
building
a
building
we
go
right
from
there
put
the
foundation
in
we'll
go
a
couple
months
later
before
the
drywall's
in
we're
on
a
facility
tourist
in
service.
We
go
through
the
buildings
and
look
at
them,
but
we're
really
looking
to
help
the
building
department
and
the
career.
Q
To
be
retiring,
but
our
biggest
thing
is
it's
retention
of
firemen.
We
have
a
very
young
fire
department
like
the
police
department
too,
and
there's
you
know,
they're
single.
They
don't
have
a
commitment
here.
They'll
go
someplace
and
that
makes
a
short-handed
and
we
don't
usually
have
a
big
notice
on
that
when
someone's
leaving
or
going
some
other
place
so
we're
hoping
with
the
contract,
they
had
a
five-year
contract.
One
year's
gone.
Now
we
did
that
we're
gonna
get
a
new
station,
we
have
lieutenants
and
hopefully
that's
that's
a
big
retention
point.
Q
Right
so
they
have
a.
They
have
a
retirement
plan
that
most
departments
don't
have
foreign
state
of
New
York
Civil
Service,
Dutch
County.
Here
you
were
on
20
years.
You
get
50
percent,
so
I
had
guys
get
on
20
years
and
go
leave
and
go
through
another
job.
Someplace
good,
good
people
and
many
other
departments
say
the
same
thing.
So
now
we
have
more
on
the
Senate
worth
the
longer
you
stay,
the
bigger
percent
you
can
get
to
retire.
N
So
as
part
of
with
Gary's
overtime,
too,
his
overtime
number
number
estimate,
that's
just
for
shift
coverage
for
vacation
personal
leaves
and
holidays
so
which
amounts
to
6152
hours.
So
he
across
16
people.
So
what
he
was
saying
there
is
that
each
each
position
has
to
be
covered
by
another
firefighter.
So
that's
why
we
want
to
add
in
that
floater
and
cover
some
of
those
6
000
Plus
hours,
not
to
mention
an
injury.
N
Increasing
the
overtime
budget,
because
we
we
would
have
to
implement
this
he's
estimating
this
based
on
16
firefighters,
with
their
with
their
time
off.
This
doesn't
include
any
injuries.
So
if
we
were
to
go
forth
with
this
budget,
it'd
be
December
by
the
time
we
get
somebody
in
the
academy
and
hire
someone
and
get
them
on
shift.
We're
talk,
we're
going
to
be
in
September,
so
so.
D
D
Somebody
did
ask
by
email
about
Kelly
days
and
I'll
just
give
a
quick
intro
on
Kelly
days.
It's
a
little
bit
of
a
misnomer.
If
you
look
up
Kelly
days,
it's
a
very
specific
thing
that
started
in
the
70s.
This
is
a
term
of
art
that
ended
up
in
our
contract
and
it
really
essentially
talks
to
the
104
hours
per
year
that
firefighters
work,
but
they
don't
get
paid
for
essentially
every
every
week
they
average
two
hours
because
of
their
24-hour
shifts.
D
They
end
up
working
an
extra
four
hours
every
two
weeks
because
they
rotate
through
on
these
24-hour
shifts.
So
what
this
did
is
when
we
negotiated
the
contract,
it
put,
it
started
to
pay
them
for
25
percent
of
those
hours,
50
75
and
then
in
2025
100,
so
you'll
see
this
number
went
up
from
last
year,
when
we
were
at
a
quarter
now
we're
at
a
half.
Next
year
we
go
to
three
quarters
and
then
the
final
year
we
go
to
104
and
then
it
it
will
stay
the
same
except
for
salary
increases.
R
So
it
sounds
like
to
go
back
to
the
fire
academy.
It
sounds
like
a
really
awesome
program
and
you
put
a
lot
of
your
own
volunteer
time
and
your
wife's
volunteer
time
into
into
making
it
happen
in
terms
of
it
continuing
and
maybe
happening
next
year.
Would
a
budget
line
item
help
with
that?
Or
is
it
really
just
a
matter
of
the
new
Chief
wanting
to
put
in
the
time
and.
Q
B
I,
don't
know
if
you
recall,
but
I
I
was
a
private
citizen
when
you,
when
there
was
a
proposal
to
hire
a
full-time,
Chief
and
and
I
was
not
supportive
because
we
were
doing
a
fair
number
of
tax
increases
and
my
two
cents
was
to
find
ways
to
you
know:
keep
that
low.
I
came
back
on
Council
I
think
a
year
after
that,
and
my
experience
has
been
that
the
professional
Chief
position
has
been
incredibly
important
and
you've
done
an
exceptional
job
at
it.
I.
B
T
D
T
T
If
you
don't
know
what
our
department
does
we're
in
the
recreation
department
and
responsible
for
programming
within
our
Parks
throughout
the
school
year
summer
months,
we
run
a
public
pool,
we're
a
department
of
four
full-time
one,
part-time,
cleaner
and
everyone
else.
We
hire
we
hire
seasonally,
whether
it's
after
school
staff
at
three
locations
or
our
our
summer
programming
and
there's
sometimes
Consultants,
sometimes
employees.
T
So
you
know
we
do
our
best
with
what
we
have
I
can't
speak
enough
to
and
you'll
probably
see
it
throughout
what
I've,
what
I've
sort
of
drawn
up
for
you,
sort
of
the
Partnerships
and
relationships
within
our
department.
So
you
know
in
no
way
in
any
of
this
report
in
my
training
to
take
credit
for
anyone
else's
hard
work
and
dedication.
But
you
know
there
is
quite
a
bit
we
do
to
synergize
or
support
other
organizations.
T
Other
groups,
whether
it's
Youth
Sports,
Civic
organizations,
Community
organizations,
farming
groups-
you
know
the
kind
of
list
goes
on.
You
know
if
somebody
calls
the
rec
center
and
needs
a
place
to
do
something
and
the
calendar
allows
we
make
the
space
available.
If
there's
some
public
benefit
to
what
they're
doing
then
I
want
to
make
sure
they
are
supported
in
some
way,
shape
or
form
you
know,
and
that
that
kind
of
goes
through.
T
Everything
Chris
had
made
mention
of
the
Green
Team
program,
which
is
a
a
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension
Duchess
County
program
that
that
rents
off
the
space
in
our
building
but
is
integral
to
what
we
do
over
there.
More
teens
and
and
now
middle
schoolers
come
through
that
building.
Now
that
you
know
they're
running
a
club
program
for
younger
kids
to
sort
of
you
know
excite
them
about
the
potential
of
being
participating
in
Green
Team.
So
it's
a
work
study
program.
T
It
teaches
kids
about
having
a
job
and-
and
you
know
maybe
they
get
interested
in
him
in
the
you
know,
sort
of
growing
or
farming
Fields
or
not.
You
know,
at
least
at
the
very
least.
They
walk
away
with
some
principles,
you
know
for
employment,
we
did
the
same
with
our
CIT
program
in
a
very
simple
way,
but
you
know
we.
T
You
know
we
we
work
with,
you
know,
sort
of
teenage
and
older
kids,
and
and
this
year
we
sponsored
a
couple
lifeguards.
You
know
there
was
a
couple
of
brand
new
lifeguards
that
we
told
if
they
got
their
card
and
worked
for
us
all
summer.
We'd,
you
know
split
the
split
the
bill
with
them.
A
highlight
from
this
year
coming
up
is
our
hope
to
run
a
lifeguard
training
program
which
will
use
a
Dutchess
County
Grant
to
do
so,
it'll
be
free
to
anyone
that
wants
to
participate.
T
So
what
we
use
for
our
swim
lessons
annually
we're
going
to
try
to
repurpose
into
a
lifeguard
training
program,
because
there
is
a
national
shortage
and
and
selfishly
I
wouldn't
mind
having
a
few
more
lifeguards
around
for
the
summer
months.
So
I
know
I'm
bouncing
around
a
little
bit,
but
you
know
we
had
a
pretty
good
year
this
year.
The
budget
for
23
reflects
basically
a
a
baseline
of
what
we
typically
do
with
a
little
expansion.
T
Our
hope
is
to
sort
of
stretch
out
the
after
school
program,
meaning
we
want
to
serve
some
more
kids
per
site.
Our
summer
programming.
We,
we
tried
a
little
tot
soccer
camp
this
year
and
we
tried
a
Spanish
language
sort
of
younger
kid
Camp.
They
were
nice
little
programs
one
week
program,
so
we
hope
to
do
more
stuff
like
that,
our
summer
camp
Camp
will
probably
operate
in
a
similar.
T
A
little
bit
excited
about
all
of
those,
so
we
have
a
couple
over
at
the
rec
center
and
there
was
one
down
at
the
sewage
treatment
plant
that
I
personally
selected
all
the
seeds
for,
but
it
looked
great
all
year
it
was,
it
really
did
you
know,
sort
of
change
how
it
looked
down
there
so
and
we're
identifying
spaces
for
next
year.
I
think
green
team's
feedback
was.
It
was
fun
to
do
with
the
kids.
T
They
learned
a
lot
more
about
you,
know,
sort
of
native
species
and
and
beneficial
bugs
and
plants,
and
you
know-
and
it
made
the
city
prettier.
We
also
partnered
with
one
down
at
the
waterfront
with
the
CAC.
So
I
guess
that's
really!
Oh
and
summer
Hoops
saw
the
biggest
enrollment
in
the
last
several
years
and
the
return
of
the
older
age
group,
which
is
18
year
old
kids,
got
to
play
again
this
year
and
doesn't
seem
like
much.
T
But
the
younger
kids
end
up
hanging
around
to
watch
the
older
kids
play
and
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
community
down
there
on
nights
that
ball
games
are
being
played
so
that
group
of
volunteers
again
I
I,
collect
money
and
I
pay
for
basketballs
and
shirts,
and
that's
about
all
I
do
with
the
program.
Besides,
you
know,
support
them
and
completely
volunteer
besides
the
the
referees
which
are
community
members,
but
we
do
play
a
small
stipend
for
those,
so
really
a
great
program.
T
T
That
part
will
feel
sort
of
finished
on
that
end,
probably,
hopefully,
some
of
the
fence
work
depending
on
how
much
that
is,
we're
looking
at
currently
replacing
or
revising
or
renewing
the
top
Park,
which
will
mean
surfacing
playground,
structures
and
fencing,
so
it'll
be
almost
a
whole
new
top
park.
Hopefully,
if,
if
everything
aligns
nicely
and
then
we
look
forward
to
seeing
the
completion
of
the
community
report,
you
know
the
survey
is
still
open.
T
As
of
this
morning,
we
had
908
surveys,
so
that's
getting
close
to
that
thousand
Mark.
That
I'm
hopeful
to
achieve
I
think
it'll
feel
like
a
real
survey.
If
we
can
get
over
a
thousand,
we
have
a
couple
little
more
Outreach
things
going
on,
so
we've
been
picking
up,
50
or
100
a
week
for
the
last
several
weeks,
so
I
think
we'll
get
to
a
thousand,
which
is
good
so
we'll
be
able
to
sit
with
that.
T
T
D
T
T
T
Oh,
that's
a
support
step,
so
in
the
covet
times
we
sort
of
shrunk,
our
Consultants,
so
our
yoga
teachers
are
karate.
Teachers
are
cooking
classes,
stuff
like
that,
so
that
goes
directly
to
pay
Consultants
to
come
in
and
offer
different
types
of
programming.
You
know
throughout
the
throughout
the
school
year.
T
S
A
C
T
T
Their
own
not-for-profit
ran
essentially
that
the
programming
we
did
in
schools-
first,
the
better
part
of
20
plus
years
down
at
fishco,
runs
after
school
programming.
I
think
it
varies
by
Community,
but
unless
it's
a
bigger
School
District
with
lots
of
grant
money,
I,
don't
think
you're
going
to
see
much
after
school
programming.
T
We're
still
working
on
that
that
we
had
planned
to
implement
that
this
year
we
were
going
to
use
a
sap.
The
sap
DEC
sapling
stale
happens
annually.
So
it's
cheap,
starter
stuff.
They
kind
of
fumbled
my
order,
so
it
sort
of
put
us
back
a
little
bit
so
I'm
still
talking
to
them
about
a
potential
pilot
Nursery
to
see
see
where
that
can
go.
M
T
D
C
D
N
F
D
T
Yep
we
just
did
a
fall
planning
of
a
bunch
of
Birches
at
the
settlement
camps
and
blueberries
at
settlement
Camp,
three
or
four
trees
on
the
street
tree
checklist.
The
street
committee
was
has
identified
as
Replacements,
so
they
were
Barren
well,
so
we,
but
but
those
in
and
I
think
there
were
some
other
ones
too.
We.
T
T
T
T
T
So
kids
that
may
not
know
necessarily
All
The
Strokes
or
need
a
little
work
with
that
Nate.
Our
assistant
director
is
a
a
water
sports
safety
instructor,
so
he
can
work
with
kids.
That
may
be
just
this
side
of
being
able
to
be
a
lifeguard
because
of
the
skill
set
and
maybe
get
them
ready
to.
You
know,
get
their
cards
so.
R
A
N
J
L
R
And
yeah
yeah
typo
and
then
my
sort
of
general
question
was
for
you
is
I,
know
that
I've
seen
the
recreation
department
like
punch
way
above
your
weight,
because
you
are
very
good
collaborators
and
you
work
with
a
lot
of
team
members
and
I
know
that
we're
getting
ahead
of
a
bit
of
the
recreational
needs
study
and
we're
going
to
find
out
a
lot
more
once
that
comes
through,
but
I'm
curious.
If
you
feel
like
an
added
staff
member
would
help
you
accomplish
even
more.
T
Yeah
I
mean
more
hands.
More
money
is
always
is
the
equation
that
helps
I,
don't
know
how
to
utilize
them
right
now.
I
think
we're
I
feel
good
right
now,
where
we
are,
what
we're
doing
I
I
do
lean
into
the
getting
this
report
back
to
understand.
You
know,
because
they're
supposed
to
make
recommendations
on
all
of
that
stuff,
so
I
would
hate
to
work
on
a
hunch.
Our
pickle
right
now
is:
where
do
I
put
them?
You
know
what
I
mean
I
don't
have
room
currently
for
another
full-time
staff
or
you.
T
We've
often
thought
about
trying
to
utilize
a
like
one
of
the
after
school
staffers
in
a
lot
longer
capacity.
You
know
maybe
freeing
up
a
little
bit
Nate's
time,
bringing
up
a
little
bit
of
my
time
so
we're
all.
You
know
we
have
some
some
sketches
on
on
the
wall,
about
how
how
we
would
expand,
because
we
do
feel
we're
on
the
cusp
of
of
some
some
type
of
expansion.
T
L
T
K
L
D
T
Believe,
there's
there's
some
type
of
committee
and
I
think
out
of
the
study
too
it'll
it'll
point
to
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
I'm
hoping
you
know
what
I
mean.
That's
you
know
and
it's
finding
people
finding
some.
You
know
finding
purpose.
You
know
the
thing
with
the
committee
over
the
years
was
I.
Don't
think
we
had
enough
purpose
to
keep
people
engaged.
It
was
great
to
sit
down
and
talk
about
things
and
talk.
C
T
Things
and
talk
about
things
but
I,
think
there's
you
know
people
want
to
be
involved.
If
there's
purpose
you
know
and
I
I
would
hesitate
to
do
anything
until
we
have
a
good.
You
know
purpose
in
place.
You
know
you
know.
Besides
some
volunteer
efforts,
you
know
it's
some
serious,
maybe
actually
absorbing
And.
Discussing
this
study
would
be
a
great
starting
point
for
a
new
committee
or
evolution
of
that
committee.
You
know
I
mean
really
dig
into
what
they've
told
us
and
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
get
there.
You
know
type
thing.
R
A
O
T
The
only
feedback
I
would
have,
if
you
know
it,
sort
of
it
involves
I
would
do
it
a
little
earlier
make
sure
the
folks
did
didn't
get
funding
new
as
well.
You
know,
just
you
know,
good
luck,
try
again
type
stuff,
and
you
know
that
was
really
it
I
think
it
was
very
simple.
I
think
people
appreciated
that
and
I
can
guarantee
you
pretty
much.
Anyone
that
was
funded
used.
It
almost
immediately
I'm
going
to
send
an
email
out.
You
know
before
the
end
of
the
year.
L
A
What
I
liked
about
the
process,
too,
was
that
it
kind
of,
even
though
there
was
only
a
few
that
got
the
grand
we
learned
about
needs
around
the
city
that
we
may
not
have
otherwise
found
out
in
the
city.
I
think
if
I
remember
correctly,
was
able
to
actually
take
care
of
some
of
those
things
without
it
being
a
financial
transaction
too
yeah,
it's
great
yeah.
B
B
And
you
know
I
think
that's
multiple
councils
over
the
years
and
kind
of
a
recognition
that
I
think
when
we
were
a
poor
Community.
You
know
this
was
sort
of
expendable
right.
You
have
to
do
some
other
things
and
I
I
think
that's
been
a
really
important
investment
to
pull
that
off,
especially
with
Susan
in
the
room.
B
So
in
order
to
make
those
budgets
work,
the
one
piece
that's
important
is
having
the
growth
I
mean:
we've
we've
been
had
the
the
you
know:
ability
to
increase
our
tax
base
without
increasing
increase
taxes
on
our
existing
consumers
residents.
Because
of
that
growth,
and
then
we've
got
this,
you
know
the
sales
tax
benefit
coming
into
play
this
year
and
then
for
subsequent
years.
Some
of
that
was
investment,
and
you
kind
of
saw
it
in
in
these
budgets.
B
You
know
an
extra
dispatch,
an
extra
staffer,
a
growth
in
this
budget
and
we're
kind
of
trying
to
put
our
investments
in
place
in
terms
of
people,
and
then
we've
also
got
the
piece
that
we're
doing
with
respect
to
Capital,
and
we
just
have
to
be
careful.
You
can
tell
they're
they're
well
trained,
you
ask
them
questions
about,
could
you
use
another
one
and
they
say
no,
not
right
now
and.
B
T
N
I
put
it
in
the
budget,
and
you
know
we
needed
it.
I
just
saw
everything
that
was
happening
in
the
community
and
at
the
time
the
mayor
and
the
city
administrator,
you
know
acquiesced
and
then
the
council
voted
on
it,
but
it
worked
because
you
know
watching
him
work
and
every
everything
that
he
handled
part-time,
we're
talking
19
hours
a
week.
You
know
I
wanted
to
scoop
him
up
before
somebody
else
took
him,
so
can
also
work
in
the
accounting
department.
M
L
D
R
D
L
A
One
kind
of
General
question
abundant
to
know
we
did
this
in
2020,
where
the
initial
budget
didn't
go
to
the
tax
cap
and
then
we
were.
We
had
some
ideas
of
things
that
we
wanted
to
spend
money
on
at
that
time,
bathroom
cleaning
and
whatever
they
were,
and
we
asked
if
we
could
see
what
how
someone's
tax
bill
would
change.
If
we
went
to
the
cap
I
think
in
your
presentation,
you
had
a
couple
sample
prices.
Do
you
think
the
next
time
that
we
meet?
A
N
N
B
B
B
A
N
A
A
N
L
N
A
C
K
A
C
A
I
mean
I
know
that
we
have
to
always
have
a
certain
amount
of
water
infrastructure,
sewer
infrastructure
and
other
things
going
on
at
all
times
and
I
know.
We
don't
want
to
borrow
like
crazy,
so
I'm
trying
to
navigate
that
as
well
and
I'm.
Just
thinking
of
you
know
if
there
was
a
way
that
we
could
take
like
an
initial
chunk
of
money,
put
it
into
a
fund,
it
starts
gaining
interest
and
we
can
start
using
that
to
build
sidewalks,
and
then
we
find
a
way
another
way
to
replenish
it.
O
L
D
But
I
I
also
think
there
probably
is
enough
here
for
a
separate
Workshop
item
on
sidewalks,
because
it's
not
just
the
money.
It's
also
the
responsibility
under
our
code.
If,
if
a
sidewalk
is
run
down,
it's
the
property
owner,
the
adjacent
property
owner's
responsibility
to
replace
it.
Now,
then,
then
there
are
exceptions
like
when
we
fully
redo
a
road
like
we're
fully
redoing
Fishkill,
teller,
Avenue,
we're
redoing,
approximately
that's
1.7
miles,
and
maybe
you
know
on
both
sides.
It's
about
maybe
2.5
miles
worth
of
sidewalk
we're
doing.
D
All
of
that
we
did
South
Avenue
because
it
goes
along
our
park,
but
I
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
broader
conversation
with
the
attorneys
about
what
we're
allowed
to
fund.
There
is
a
an
item
in
the
city
code
that
says:
if
we
do
certain
sidewalks,
we
were
supposed
to
pay
half
of
that,
like
let's
say
we
did
Walcott,
which
is
between
South
Avenue
and
tyrond.
D
It's
in
pretty
rough
shape
and
I've
thought
about
trying
to
cue
that
up
for
a
future
Capital
project
and
in
that
case,
I
would
just
put
it
in
the
capital
fund
for
the
half
that
we're
supposed
to
pay,
but
I
want
to
understand
from
the
attorneys
and
have
a
broader
discussion
like
you
know,
what
are
we
allowed
to
do?
What
should
we
be
doing?
How
many?
D
A
Yeah
I
I,
remember,
I
I
really
enjoy
doing
this,
but
the
one
thing
that
has
been
kind
of
disappointing
about
being
on
city
council
since
I
when
I
was
when
I
first
ran
for
office.
I
was
talking
to
people
about
sidewalks
and
I,
had
a
list
of
sidewalks.
That
I
was
hoping
that
we
could
repair
and
I've
been
asking
how
to
repair
sidewalks
for
almost
three
years
and
I
have
not
gotten
a
single
sidewalk
repaired.
So
I'd
love
to
make
progress
on
this,
because
people
ask
me,
but.
D
But
if
I,
if
I,
could
give
a
different
opinion,
you
have
gotten
sidewalks
done
you,
as
a
body
authorized
the
the
funding
that
we
spent
on
South
Avenue
and
we
have
a
beautiful
new
sidewalk
there.
You
authorized
in
the
five-year
Capital
program,
teller,
fiscal
Avenue-
that
that's
a
that's
like
one
of
the
most
important
corridors
of
the
city
and
in
the
annual
budgets
that
you've
done.
We
have
enough
money
that
we're
grinding
sidewalks
on
Main
Street.
D
So
in
the
next
few
weeks
we're
going
to
be
fixing
some
I
mean
there's
about
30
different
property
owners
who
we
could
go
and
say
we
got
to
fix
your
sidewalk
and
we
get
all
manner
of
little
patches
and
fixes
and
we
decided
to
just
pay
the
10
it's
about
ten
or
eleven
thousand
dollars
to
go
and
just
grind
these
down,
so
that
the
sidewalks
aren't
disheveled
and
don't
have
trip
hazards.
You
know
so
you
are
taking
care
of
sidewalks
by
voting
on
these
various
items.
D
D
So
we
were
actually
as
soon
as
we
got
done
with
the
ones
at
South,
Avenue,
South,
Davis,
Terrace,
called
us
and
said:
hey
our
sidewalks
are
really
bad.
You
know
we're
subsidized
housing.
Can
you
guys
fix
the
ones
on
our
side
of
the
street
and
and
the
engineer
and
I
went
and
looked
at
it
and
they're
they're
really
bad?
A
A
You
know
we
have
a
ton
of
cars,
we
have
a
lot
of
cars
parked
and
there's
no
way,
there's
there's
nothing
separating
pedestrian,
cycling
and
vehicle
traffic
on
some
roads
that
are
actually
quite
dangerous,
and
so
that's
I'd
like
to
know
that
we
were
like
always
kind
of
chipping
away
at
that.
In
addition
to
doing
some
of
these
bigger,
larger
scale
projects
that
people
were
noticing
that
their
sidewalks
were
being
updated
in
their
neighborhoods
and
not
just
on
Main
Street
or
South,
Avenue
or
someplace,
or
a
tourist
scope,
so.
D
Yeah
and
I'm
I'm
hopeful
as
we
get
these
big
projects
through
that
we
can
do
more
of
that,
because
I
I
do
think
the
sidewalk
system
is
really
important.
It's
part
of
your,
you
know
your
mobility
and
your
Public
Safety
so
and
when,
when
we
can
we
try
to
do
it,
like
you
may
remember,
we
said:
Central
Hudson
was
paying
for
re-paving
of
some
areas
around
Masters
place
and,
and
we
tried
to
parlay
that
into
new
sidewalks
there.
D
D
O
Sidewalks,
better
foot
benefit
the
community
at
large
yeah
and
no
one
should
sometimes
they're
community
members
say:
oh
we'd
love
to
have
a
sidewalk.
Oh,
we
have
to
pay
for
it.
I
don't
want
the
sidewalk,
so
the
whole
block
decides
they
don't
want
a
sidewalk
right
because
they
have
to
pay
for
it
and
maintain
it.
Yeah.
L
C
D
So
we
did
the
benefits
right,
someone
has
to
pay
for
it
and
we
did
a
sidewalk
study
showing
where
the
sidewalks
are,
but
it
doesn't
prioritize
where
the
investment
should
go.
I
I'd
like
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
planning
study.
Maybe
the
county
can
help
us
at
some
point
on
this.
With
figuring
out.
You
know,
Main
Street,
we
all
know,
is
a
vital
Corridor
and
that
that
we've
invested
in
you'll
see
we've
done
parts
of
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
churches
and
stuff.
D
That
will
never
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
fix
that.
We've
been
putting
Ada
ramps
and
everywhere
we
repair.
But
how
do
you
prioritize
the
next
thing
down
from
Main
Street?
You
know
everybody
thinks
their
street
is
the
most
important,
so
you
have
to
have
some
kind
of
criteria.
Is
it
on
a
on
a
route
to
schools?
You
know
that
that
to
me
is
a
natural
one,
or
is
it
in
a
low
end?
The
ones
in
the
low-income
neighborhoods
make
sense
like
South
Avenue,
it's
on
a
park.
D
B
L
L
D
A
Know
I
I
thought
we
had
to
recoup
money
in
order
to
pay
that
off,
which
was
like
you
know
the
like.
We
can
upgrade
Water
and
Sewer
forever,
because
we
collect
money
from
residents,
but
I
didn't
want
to
I
would
never
have
thought
to
propose
stuff
in
the
capital
budget
that
doesn't
actually
I
mean
I,
guess
the
firehouse
is
in
it
so
and.
D
N
N
N
A
N
A
D
It's
not
just
the
money,
it's
just
getting
all
the
stuff
done,
like
you
remember,
with
those
Ada
ramps,
we
put
those
out
to
bid
and
it
just.
It
was
a
crazy
high
amount
and
we
ended
up
doing
it
in-house
for
like
less
than
ten
thousand
dollars,
but
it
it
took
a
crew
two
and
a
half
weeks
and
and
like
the
Milling.
Now
we
get
great
value
out
of
our
folks
work
on
that,
but.
N
R
I
wanted
to
add
one
more
layer.
I
was
talking
to
I,
can
I
agree
with
everything
that
everyone's
saying
about
it
being
a
priority
and,
and
perhaps
the
way
to
do
it,
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
a
constituent
who
added
that
it
would
be
even
better
if
our
sidewalks
were
also
beautiful
and
an
opportunity
for
artwork.
R
She
had
a
very
simple
idea
about
just
imprinting,
very
basic
designs
in
the
sidewalks
that
are
teaching
moments
for
students
and
people
who
are
walking
by
and
just
want
to
add
a
layer
for
us
to
consider
as
we're
planning
these
major
infrastructure
projects
that
there
could
be
opportunities
for
for
art
or
interaction
that
would
potentially
be
very
cheap
and
easy
to
do
or
I
mean
I
shouldn't
say
easy
to
do,
because
it's
still
adding
a
step.
But
it's
literally
just
like
adding
a
few
lines
into
the
into
the
pavement.
D
C
N
C
N
So
if
there's
any
any
changes,
so,
for
instance,
we
were
going
to
look
into
the
cost
for
the
the
radar
signs.
We'll
look
at
that
and
I'll
make
the
change
for
the
salary,
and
that
would
be
the
only
changes
thus
far
and
if
it
would
have
to
be
any
other
questions
that
you
would
have,
we
don't
have
any
more
presentations
coming
forth.
D
So,
each
year
the
county
processes
Federal
money
that
comes
through
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban,
Development
that
our
Monies
to
benefit
low
and
moderate
income
families.
So
these
have
to
be
used
for
a
particular
purpose
and
they
typically
are
geographically
based
in
a
low
to
moderate
income.
Neighborhood
and
that's
done
by
census.
Tract
now,
Beacon
used
to
be
almost
half
the
city
was
eligible,
we're
down
to
three
census
tracts
in
which
we
now
have
eligibility
and
South
Avenue,
fortunately,
is
one
of
them
and
along
Fishkill
Avenue
was
one
of
them.
D
So
the
last
two
years
we've
spent
our
cdbg
allocation
on
upgrading
the
sewer
along
Fishkill
Avenue
and
then
doing
the
South
Avenue
sidewalks.
The
county
has
just
opened
its
2023
Grant
Round
And.
As
part
of
the
grant
requirement.
You
have
to
hold
a
public
hearing
to
say
we're
going
to
receive
ideas.
The
public
we'd
like
to
set
that
public
hearing
when
you
vote
on
November
7th
and
we
would
set
it
for
I-
think
the
20th
or
21st
21st.
D
So
we
we
will
be
putting
in
the
required
letter
of
intent
and
then
our
application
is
is
due
very
quickly.
After
that,
on
December
9th
what
I,
what
I'm
vetting
right
now
with
the
engineer,
is
seeing
what
sidewalks
would
cost
along
South
Davies
Terrace
on
South
Avenue,
because
I
think
we
really
again,
you
have
a
school,
you
have
a
park,
you
have,
you
know
low
income,
housing
and
it
and
it
hit
it's.
It's
a
an
allowable
use,
so
I'm
trying
to
get
some
kind
of
cost
estimate
on
what
that
would
be.
D
D
D
D
D
D
Yeah,
it
shows
it
the
map
I
can
I
will
email
it
around
it.
It's
pretty
easy
to
find
if
you
Google,
Duchess,
County,
Community,
Development
block
grant
and
you
go
to
their
page.
There's
an
eligibility
map.
The
eligibility
map
is
for
2022,
but
it
really
isn't
going
to
change
for
2023
and
the
level
of
detail
on
it
isn't
great.
So
what
we
usually
do
is
ivet
a
project
and
then
I
call
the
county
and
I
say
just
just
you
know
confirm
for
me.
This
is
on
the.
D
It
in
two
seconds
but
you'll
see
the
subsequent
Pages
or
these
other
talents
where
they
have
much
more
detailed
maps,
and
we
have
you
know
not
a
very
detailed
map,
so
the
the
process
is
we
would,
we
would
apply
by
December,
it's
a
little
perfunctory.
We
do.
We
do
get
our
allocation
of
15.
We
just
have
to
put
in
a
grant.
That
again
is
for
an
allow,
an
eligible
use
in
a
la
in
an
allowed
area.
D
D
Yeah
I'm
I'm
trying
to
get
more
data
on
what
the
sidewalk
would
cost.
My
goal
is
to
do
it
from
Wolcott
Avenue
all
the
way
up
to
across
from
the
school
where
it
goes
into
Davie,
South,
Terrace,
I,
don't
know
that
we
have
enough
money
to
do
it
so
that
that
might
be
one
where
I
come
and
say
look
I
can
do
three
quarters
of
it
for
what
we
think
we're
going
to
get
or
I
can
do
the
whole
thing.
D
U
U
Okay,
well
up
here,
okay,
so
the
Traffic
Safety
Committee,
as
everyone
knows,
reviews
constituent
and
Resident
concerns
each
month
and
then
after
a
couple
come
together,
then
we'll
bring
them
to
a
bundle
for
you
to
review
this
time.
We
have
two
recommendations
for
you
to
consider
the
is
making
the
intersection
of
South
Brett
and
Beacon
Street
at
four-way.
Stop
is
currently
a
two-way
stop,
so
this
would
be
adding
two
new
stop
signs
and
putting
that
in
the
code
as
well
to
make
that
enforceable.
U
This
comes
from
a
number
of
constituents
who
had
raised
this
issue.
Wasn't
just
one,
and
the
committee
considered
this
to
be
a
pretty
straightforward
recommendation
and
I
can
answer
any
questions
on
that,
but
I'll
do
both
of
them
at
once.
So
we
can
just
go
to
questions
for
everything.
The
second
one
is
one.
That's
actually
come
before
you
before
it's
been
amended
a
little
bit
since
then.
U
This
came
up
a
few
months
back
where
the
fire
chief
and
the
Traffic
Safety
Committee
had
recommended
increasing
no
parking
Zone
from
the
existing
at
the
intersection
of
West
Church
and
cross
street
really.
In
effect,
this
would
just
add.
20
feet
of
no
parking
radius
along
West,
Church
Street
on
the
North
side
to
accommodate
emergency
vehicle
access.
The
law
does
also
State
30
feet
on
the
south
side,
but
that
is
actually
the
default
radius
in
all
intersections.
So
it's
really
just
for
clarity.
U
That
already
has
a
30
foot
radius,
and
this
is
based
off
the
measurements
taken
by
Chief
van
Voris
about
what
is
necessary
to
accommodate
our
emergency
vehicles
to
make
a
turn
at
that
intersection.
As
you
can
see
from
the
yellow
lines
here,
there's
a
number
of
existing
no
parking
rules
that
are
at
this
intersection.
I
left
them
there.
Just
so
it's
clear
to
you
what
exactly
the
whole
situation
for
the
intersection
is,
but
the
blue
is
the
only
thing
being
added
by
this
law
and
in
effect,
it's
really
just
the
north
side.
U
U
F
F
M
U
I,
don't
think
we
have
a
formal
procedure
for
notifying
residents.
I
will
note
that
the
last
time
this
came
to
you,
we
did
have
some
residents
from
there
come
to
the
public
hearing,
which
is
why
this
was
tabled
and
reconsidered.
So
I
believe
they
were
aware
of
it.
The
last
go
around
and
we
do
hold
a
public
hearing
on
all
these
local
Law
changes
that
they
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
at
I.
R
You
thanks
Ben,
so
this
is
a
resolution
for
the
city
to
support
a
piece
of
State
legislation
called
This
Clean
Slate
act.
What
this
act
would
do
is
that
when
a
person
has
completed
their
jail
or
prison
time
has
completed
their
probation
or
parole
is
not
on
the
sex
offender
registry
and
has
no
subsequent
New
York
State
conviction
or
pending
New
York
State
charges.
R
Their
criminal
record
would
be
automatically
sealed
after
one
year
for
misdemeanors
or
three
years
for
felonies
and
their
record.
If
all
of
this
is
still
true,
including
that
they
have
no
subsequent
convictions,
they
would
those
records
would
be
automatically
expunged
after
five
years
for
misdemeanors
in
seven
years
for
felonies.
So
the
idea
here
is
that,
once
somebody
has
already
served
their
time
for
a
past
crime
that
they
should
not
be
continually
punished
or
unfairly
penalized
by
a
society
for
an
old
mistake.
R
We
know
from
the
data
that
oftentimes
housing
and
job
discrimination
is
acted
against.
People
who
have
a
past
record
without
any
a
real
understanding
of
what
the
crime
was.
It
could
have
been
a
petty
theft
of
some
kind.
It
could
have
been
possession
of
an
illegal
substance
that
they
had
as
a
young
person
and
they
are
then
penalized
through
discriminatory
practices
or
un
implicit
bias
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
There
are
other
states
who
have
adopted
such
measures,
including
Pennsylvania,
Michigan,
Utah
and
Connecticut,
and
have
had
no
adverse
effects.
R
The
reason
that
I
think
that
this
is
important
for
Beacon,
in
addition
to
being
important
for
any
New
York
State
person,
is
that
we
have
a
couple
of
ways
in
which
Beacon
is
a
prison
town.
We
have
prisons
within
our
city
walls,
and
we
also
have
several
programs
that
serve
the
nearby
prisons,
including
the
beacon
prison
rides
program
which
has
dispatched
I
believe
about
1900
rides
in
the
last
five
years.
R
We
also
have
the
beacon
books
project,
which
has
distributed
about
2
000
books
to
incarcerated
people
who
are
looking
to
stay
connected
to
the
outside
world
and
I
just
want
to
read
something
from
one
of
The
Advocates
from
these
groups.
We
believe
in
Redemption
and
then
Humanity
of
incarcerated
people
like
those
of
us
on
the
outside.
These
are
people
with
families
who
love
them,
with
intellectual
and
spiritual
interests,
with
goals
and
dreams
for
their
life
beyond
prison.
Our
projects
recognize
those
commonalities
and
try
to
help
the
general
public
come
to
that
understanding
as
well.
D
F
D
So
we
have
added
to
the
packet
you
you
received
by
email,
and
the
public
has
an
updated
packet,
a
draft
side
letter
agreement,
which
is
a
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
patrolmen's
benevolent
Association,
the
PBA,
we're
trying
to
again
figure
out
how
to
deal
with
our
overtime
issue
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
ways
that
we'd
like
to
deal
with.
It
is
by
buying
back
unused
vacation
and
giving
more
flexibility
and
using
vacation.
D
Because
what
happens
now
with
the
the
shift
coverage
that
we
have,
we
have
so
few
officers
to
cover
the
shift
if
one
takes
vacation,
we're
basically
backfilling
with
overtime.
So
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
two
things.
One
is
offer
a
buyback
of
up
to
10
days
of
vacation
this
year
and
10
days
of
vacation
next
year,
because
we
again,
we
have
this
pipeline
that
we're
trying
to
get
new
officers
in.
But
it's
going
to
have
a
lag.
It's
going
to
have
we're
going
to
be
facing
challenges
with
overtime
well
into
2023..
D
The
other
thing
it
does
is
it
allows
them
to
use
individual
vacation
days
for
some
reason
years
ago.
I
guess
one
of
the
police
Chiefs
got
into
the
contract
that
if
you
were
there
be
less
than
seven
years,
you
could
use
five
individual
days,
but
no
more,
then
you
had
to
take
them
in
blocks
of
five
and
the
unanticipated.
It
does
make
scheduling
a
little
easier,
but
the
unintended
consequences
at
the
end
of
the
year
is
somebody
has
used
their
individual
days
and
they
want
to
take
two
days
off.
D
They
end
up
having
to
take
five,
so
we're
filling
that,
with
five
overtime
shifts
the
PBS
a
has
agreed
to
this.
They
would
bring
this
to
a
vote
at
their
meeting
on
November,
2nd
I
wanted
to
put
it
before
you
and
see.
If
you
could
approve
it
on
the
seventh
and
then
it
would
go
into
effect.
If,
if
you
have
a
sense
that
this
is
okay
with
you,
we
we
do
have
the
money
to
cover
the
the
buyback.
We
don't
think
everybody's
going
to
use
it.
A
lot
of
people
want
to
use
the
time
and.
