Description
City of Beacon Council Meeting/Workshop from Monday August 1, 2022
B
A
B

Okay
and
the
meeting
is
hybrid
right,
so
we
have
a
group
online
because
it's
workshop,
we
won't
be
asking
a
lot
of
people
to
speak,
but
in
the
regular
meeting
which
we'll
get
to
after
that,
you
will
have
an
opportunity
for
public
comment
all
right.
So
first
one
is
a
recognition.
I
get
to
do
that,
john!
That's
for
you
right.
So
I.
B
D
F
B
A
I'll
just
introduce
it
so
each
year
we
do
a
number
of
streets
with
the
funding
that
we
get
through
the
chips
which
is
state
funding
and
also
pave
new
york.
We
had
a
little
extra
funding
this
year,
so
we
have
put
on
the
list
21
roads
to
streets,
to
be
repaved,
plus
three
additional
ones
that
we're
doing
on
behalf
of
central
hudson,
where
they've
put
utilities
in
the
street
and
they'll
be
paying
for
them.
A
So
you
have
a
list
in
your
packet
and
online
of
the
24
streets
that
we'll
be
doing,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
mickey's,
mickey
mansi
or
superintendent
of
streets
is
here
right
now
we
are
waiting
for
a
bid
on
the
curb
ramps
to
come
back
on
on
thursday
and
then
hopefully
we
can
move
forward
with
that
and
incorporate
it
in.
We
we
were
holding
off
on
paving-
and
I
think
now
we're
looking
at
a
late
august
or
september
start
september,
start
of
milling
and
paving
so
again.
H
I
You
want
to
answer
yeah,
typically
based
off
the
list.
I
go
through
the
streets
and
kind
of
try
to
do
an
assessment
visually
look
at
the
conditions
of
the
roads,
for
instance
like
here
right
the
first
street
down
here
I
have
a
buchanan
you
can
see.
I
have
the
streets
broken
down
into
sections
of
the
city,
so
I
try
to
spread
it
around
based
on
section
as
well
location,
but
like
the
first
one
there
buchanan
street
90
percent
of
that
neighborhood
has
already
been
since
I've
been
here
my
16
years,
it's
been
repaved.
I
Willow
street,
I
think,
was
my
first
year
and
it
the
first
year
when
I
was
here
central
hudson,
went
through
and
and
kind
of
tore
into
it
and
had
at
it,
and
so
you
can
see
as
you're
heading
towards
main
street
on
the
right
side,
where
central
huts
are
cut
in
so
that's
been
pretty
beat
up
in
in
dire
need
a
couple
other
ones
that
just
like
I
was
looking
at
aldridge
place.
I
just
come
down
the
hill
there.
I
I
I
It's
definitely
funding
has
a
lot
to
do
with
it.
Trying
to
put
together
what
it
would
be
in
material
how
much
it's
going
to
cost
the
city
to
get
it
done
and
if
we
have
enough
money
to
get
them
done.
Like
I
said
typically,
since
I've
been
here,
we
usually
do
about
10
to
12
roads
a
year.
So
this
is
a
lot
more
than
we've
done
in
the
past.
I
The
paister
we
have.
I
was
going
to
do
the
whole
thing:
it's
not
in
too
bad
of
shape
from
hidden
brook
to
washington
avenue,
but
we
since
then,
we
determined
there's
a
problem
with
the
storm
drainage,
so
we're
going
to
hold
off
on
that
repair.
The
storm
drainage
and
we'll
probably
put
that
on
the
slate
for
next
year.
I
B
Mickey,
though,
sure
the
very
bottom,
so
it
used
to
be
that
we
we
published
this
list
central
hudson,
would
somehow
get
a
hold
of
it,
and
then
they
do
road
work
on
every
road
as
soon
as
we
repave
right
and
now
they
kind
of
we've
kind
of
chasing
them
a
little
bit.
Can
you
tell
us
about
the
reimbursements
at
the
bottom.
I
Sure
they
and
this
this
is
a
big
project
that
central
hudson
took
on.
So
I
don't
think
they
were
going
to
get
into
too
much
more
than
what
they
did.
What
they
did
was
on
center
street.
They
had
to
replace
a
gas
main
because
they
had
constant
leaks
there,
so
they're
replacing
a
12-inch
main
there,
and
with
that
there
was
a
six
inch
and
a
four
inch
six
inches
on
east
street
and
a
four
inches
on
master's
place.
I
I
I
talked
to
them
and
negotiated
with
them
and
they
were
okay
with.
I
built
out
an
estimate
for
them
for
us
to
mill
and
pave
the
roads,
we're
using
our
contractors,
and
they
agreed
to
reimburse
us
for
the
work
to
be
done
for
those
three
streets.
So
those
three
are
above
and
beyond.
That's
why
chris
has
here
he
put
down
on
the
list.
Central
hudson
reimbursements,
the
city
will
be
reimbursed
for
those
streets
if
you've,
driven
by
you,
can
see
they
got
their
trenches,
dug
and
there's
item
four
in
there
and
they're
stone.
A
I
It
then
stretch
into
the
spring
or
no
it
should
be
about
three
years.
I
think
no,
I'm
teasing.
I
estimate
I
estimate
on
this
list.
It's
probably
going
to
be
about
eight
or
nine
days
of
milling.
It's
about
6700
ton
of
blacktop.
Our
contractor
likes
to
do
a
thousand
ton
a
day,
so
about
seven
days
of
paving
so
roughly
three
weeks.
I
The
only
time
we
close
roads
completely
is
for
the
blacktop,
and
it's
only
until
it
gets
to
a
cool
temperature
where
cars
can
drive
on
it,
because
otherwise
they
do
damage
kind
of
like
what
we
did
on
main
street.
The
milling
we
were
tr
will
try
to
because
they
can't,
as
long
as
we
allow
traffic
to
go
through
and
are
conscious
of
the
machines
and
the
trucks
going
through,
and
we
can
utilize
and
keep
the
traffic
rolling.
That
way.
I
It's
really
just
when
we
pave
we'd
have
to
shut
them
down
for
a
couple
hours,
and
so
what
we
do
is
usually
try
to
man
each
side
of
the
street.
We
notify
all
the
residents.
Over
the
last
couple
years,
we've
used
swift
9-1-1,
which
has
really
been
a
help.
Getting
the
word
out.
I
mean
I
think
we
really
over
communicated
for
main
street.
I
think
it
went
out.
It
went
pretty
well
overall.
I
You
know
with
a
list
like
this,
I
mean
I
try
to
estimate
how
long
our
mill
machine
and
it
it's
subcontracted.
Obviously,
so
I
try
to
guesstimate
how
long
or
how
much
they
can
get
done
in
a
day.
Sometimes
they
get
done
a
little
bit
more,
so
we
may
have
to
jump
ahead
of
our
schedule
that
we
put
out
and
post,
so
it
kind
of
has
to
be
updated,
frequently,
probably
every
day
or
every
other
day,
depending
on
we
do.
J
I
Originally,
my
original
thought
was
to
do
all
of
the
feister
from
east
maine
to
washington
avenue,
but
the
water
department
ended
up
televising
a
section
of
the
storm
drain
from
hidden
brook
to
washington,
avenue
and
there's
a
couple
spots
that
are
bad.
So
we
have
to
look
into
that
and
possibly
upgrade
and
change
the
storm
storm
drain.
There
got.
F
I
I
I
Hot
box,
you
can
actually
utilize
as
long
as
the
millings
are
fine
enough.
You
can
utilize
the
millings
in
this
hot
box
to
create
blacktop,
there's
an
ad
everything.
It's
like
an
oil
additive
that
you
put
in
there
to
create
it,
but
you
put
it
in
there.
You
heat
it
up
and
you
can
reuse
the
millings
like
a
black
top
like
a
hot
mix,
so
that
there
was
another
advantage
to
that
machine.
F
I
Right
now
we
have,
I
have
my
two
masons
are
going
through
right
now
they
go
through
street
by
street.
I
don't
think
they're
following
necessarily
following
this
order
right
now,
but
they
go
through
each
street
that
we're
gonna
mill,
the
pave
checking
all
the
catch
basins,
making
sure
that
if
there
are
issues
with
the
block
work
on
the
top
they'll
rebuild
them,
so
people
may
start
seeing
the
guys
out
on
some
of
these
streets
and.
I
Water
does
their
water
valves
and
and
manholes
and
anything
that
they
think.
That
is
an
issue
as
far
as
the
milling.
Obviously
we
have
the
big
machine
come
in,
but
our
our
guys
will
drive
the
trucks
and
haul
the
millings
away,
and
sometimes
we
bring
some
outside
contractors
in
to
help
haul
it.
They
keep
the
material
as
part
of
them,
keeping
that
machine
rolling
and
not
slowing
that
machine
down
because
we
paid
by
the
day
for
it.
F
I
They
we
don't
pay
for
them
to
drive
their
trucks,
we
don't
pay
for
fuel
for
them,
driving
a
truck,
so
they
and
like
I
mean
we
do
have
a
pretty
good
stockpile
of
it.
Right
now
and,
like
I
said,
we
have
6700
ton,
roughly
a
blacktop
that
we
will
be
putting
down.
So
it's
pretty
much.
We
take
out
an
inch
and
a
half.
We
put
down
an
inch
and
a
half,
so
it's
pretty
much
the
equivalent.
A
And
it
helps
to
keep
the
workflow
like
we,
we
keep
what
we
need,
but
then
we
trade,
the
value
of
that
for
somebody
being
there
on
call
taking
the
millings
like
when
we
did
main
street.
You
saw
the
trucks
lining
up
six
and
seven
and
eight
deep.
Some
of
those
were
our
trucks,
but
some
were
also
people
in
the
area
that
wanted
the
the
millings.
A
I
I
It
takes
the
guys
longer
to
get
back.
You
know,
get
their
load
down
to
the
highway,
dump
it
and
get
back.
So
that's
all
timed
down.
So
if
we
just
stuck
with
our
four
or
five
trucks
that
machine
wouldn't
move
as
fast
as
it
does
so
it
really
helps
us
keep
it
rolling
like.
I
said
we
pay
by
the
day
as
a
contract
price
for
that
mill.
Machine.
C
H
I
So
that's
why
we
went
through
that
list
and
it
wasn't
extensive
because
quite
a
few
of
the
streets
don't
even
have
sidewalks
at
this
time,
but
then,
like
I
said
there
were
a
couple
areas
where
there
was,
I
think,
two
or
three
in
an
area.
It
was
really
just
when
you
go
through
the
road
and
you
say:
hey
it
kind
of
just
has
a
square
abutment,
there's
no
ada
compliance
here
we
have
to
add
a
ramp.
B
So
the
only
thing
I'd
add
is
when
we
redo
a
road
from
start
to
finish,
it's
it's
in
the
millions
of
dollars,
but
when
you
do
it
the
right
way
it
lets
you
do.
I
don't
know
how
many
rounds
of
milling
and
paving
can
you
do
over
how
many
years
before
you
have
to
redo
a
road
and
it's
it's
very,
very
cost-effective.
I
A
I
I
We
come
through
with
crack
fill
to
prevent
that
from
getting
any
worse.
Because
what
happens
is
the
moisture
gets
in
there?
The
roads,
it's
cold
in
the
winter
time
heaves
you
start
getting
cracking
and
it
starts
spidering
the
road.
So
if
we
can
catch
that
early
enough,
as
you
get
a
couple
of
those
fine
cracks,
it'll
prevent
any
further
damage.
I
You,
no,
I
don't
think
so.
I
mean
basically
I'm
looking
at
this
as
say
like
for
right
now
we
got
a
little
bit
of
late
start
because
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
was
in
there
versus
our
reimbursements
from
last
year
and
what
we
had
as
a
balance,
but
as
far
as
the
reimbursements,
I
think,
once
we
get
all
our
paperwork
to
them.
I
think
it's
turned
around
pretty
quickly.
Yeah.
A
And
and
what
mickey
is
talking
about
in
the
capital
plan
we're
aiming
for
about
400
000
a
year?
We
had
leftover
funds,
so
I
said:
let's,
let's
get
that
out
in
the
field
and
see
what
we
can
do
and
that
lets
us
go
down
the
wish
list
of
streets
further
and
then
next
year,
cues
up
the
next
round.
That
might
not
have
been
until
two
years
later.
B
K
Good
evening,
everybody
good
evening,
I
think
everybody
knows
me,
I'm
rachel
saunders,
I'm
the
attorney
in
charge
of
the
dutchess
county
office
for
legal
services
of
the
hudson
valley
with
me
are
two
members
of
the
poughkeepsie
office.
Patience
hughes
is
the
staff
attorney
who
represents
tenants
in
eviction
proceedings.
K
She
is
the
attorney
who
does
most
of
the
beacon
cases,
so
she
is
often
here
in
this
courtroom
representing
tenants,
stephen
maholic
you're,
going
to
hear
from
in
a
moment,
and
he
is
the
paralegal
who
is
assigned
to
this
grant.
So
I
thought
it
was
important
to
hear
directly
from
him
because
he
is
the
person
who
is
on
the
front
lines
doing
the
work
day
to
day
and.
K
A
K
K
I
talked
about
this
program,
you
voted
on
it
and
you
voted
to
have
this.
You
know
this.
This
chunk
of
of
money
dedicated
to
tenant
advocacy
services,
so
the
first
thing
we
did
is
we
worked
with
nick,
who,
I
believe,
is,
is
out
there
somewhere
in
the
in
the
ether
and
chris,
and
we
we
hammered
out
a
contract
and
we
really
talked
through
you
know
what
does
this
look
like
in
practice
and
and
how
does
it?
What
is
what
are
the
things
that
we
can
create?
K
That
will
really
benefit
this
community
and
our
tenants
who
are
facing
an
eviction,
so
we
do
have
that
contract.
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
chris,
that
you
provided
to
the
council,
but
you
know
really
very
clearly
states,
you
know
what
what
our
obligations
are
and
what
we
report
about.
You
know
what
data
points
were
reporting
on
then
I
assigned
a
staff
member
that
would
be
stephen
to
this
grant
and
you
know
I
had
the
benefit
of
stephen
knew.
What
was
coming
he's
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
around.
K
You
know
working
with
tenants,
so
you
know
this
community
had
the
benefit
of
somebody
who
really
was
came
with
a
lot
of
experience.
So
you
know
we,
you
know
we.
The
first
thing
we
did.
Is
we
drafted
a
flyer?
I
realized
I
wish
I'd
put
it
in
the
powerpoint
so
that
people
online
could
see
it,
but
I
did
include
it
with
the
email.
K
This
is
a
flyer.
Chris
looked
it
over,
we
all
had
some
comments
and
we
came
up
with
a
flyer,
and
I
would
you
know,
welcome
anyone
I'm
happy
to.
I
keep
dropping
off
to
chris.
If
you
know
if
you
go
low,
but
if
anybody
in
the
community
would
like
some,
you
know
really,
it
is
finding
tenants
who
you
know.
I
think
people
who
are
coming
to
this
courthouse
oftentimes
know
to
call
us,
but
it's
getting
somebody
who,
for
example,
you
know,
was
served
with
a
predicate
notice.
K
The
other
thing
we
did
is
we
met
with
the
judges
and
the
court
staff,
because
really
you
know
as
community
members
as
legal
services,
you
know
we
can
shout
it
out.
We
put
it
on
our
facebook
page.
You
know
our
attorneys,
you
know
we're
talking
to
people,
people
talk
to
each
other,
but
you
know
we
really
want
the
hearts
and
minds
of
the
court
of
the
court
staff
when
they
see
somebody
to
say,
hey
call
legal
services,
so
we
did
meet
with
them.
It
took
a
while
it
took.
K
K
We
talked
to
them
about
this
project
and
what
it
was
and
they
took
the
flyers.
I
don't
know
to
be
perfectly
honest:
if
the
flyers
are
distributed
or
not.
I
know
that
we,
every
time
we
come
I've
sent
stephen
to
distribute.
I
know
that
chris,
you
know
very
kindly
put
some
outside
so
that
people
coming
in
and
out
could
see.
K
So
I
think
at
this
point
and
we
have
a
good
relationship
with
the
court
in
terms
of
when
we
want
you
know
when
we
want
to,
for
example,
get
a
file
from
the
court
or
we're
putting
in
our
notice
of
appearance
like
we
have
a
good
relationship,
but
we
we
do
want
the
court
to
send
people
over
so
and
then
you
know
we
do
the
intake
and
we,
you
know
stephen
works
up
a
case
that
comes
to
us.
So
that's
what
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
six
months.
K
K
K
K
I
will
say
that
nick
did
ask
me
if
I
could
parse
out
like
lease
violations
from
you,
know,
landlords
who
are
evicting
because
they
want
their
lease
possession
back.
That's
not
something
that
the
court
takes.
Statistics
on
that
would
be
interesting.
You
know
tell
us
something,
but
that
doesn't
exist.
K
K
That's
when
an
eviction
actually
happens
when
the
sheriff
comes
to
your
door
and
you
get
a
notice
on
your
door.
You
have
time-
and
you
know
that
it's
going
to
happen
so
those
eviction
warrants
there
have
been
21
issued
since
the
contract
date
22
this
year
and
I
think
in
the
end
my
last
slide
is
really
about
some
challenges
and
I
think
you
know
why
there's
only
been
that
number
has
a
little
bit
to
do
about
the
current
state
of
the
law
and
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
at
the
end.
K
So
on
this,
so
that
all
is
public
information.
You
can
find
that
at
any
point
and
I'll
send
around
where
you
can
it's
a
little
confusing.
So
if
anybody
anybody
wants-
or
I
can
show
ben
or
I
can
show
chris
how
to
use
it
and
then
they
can
show
you
because
you
know
it
it's
not
exactly
user
friendly,
but
you
can
get
information.
K
K
Now
why
is
it
only
two
because
again
we'll
talk
about
in
a
moment?
There's
a
couple
reasons.
One
is
we
only
count
it
when
the
case
is
closed.
So
we
added
the
below
sentence,
which
we
worked
very
hard
on
to
to
articulate
some
of
the
reasons,
because
there
are
cases
that
are
not
yet
closed,
but
but
we
anticipate
that
they're
going
to
show
that
hopelessness
was
prevented.
K
The
other
thing
is
that
a
lot
of
people
are
getting
what
I
think
most
people
might
have
heard
of
e-wraps
days,
so
their
eviction
is
not
continuing
because
they
have
a
little
bit
of
a
breather
because
of
money.
That's
coming
in
from
the
state
to
pay
arrears
or
money
is
owed,
I'm
just
going
to
read
the
last
sentence
and
as
if
anybody
has
questions
about
it,
so
we
talked
about
those
37
matters
that
were
provided
assistance
under
this
grant.
K
K
L
And
so
what
this
looks
like
is
clients
will
be
referred
to
me
directly,
either
through
our
central
intake
line
or
because
they've
seen
advertisements
in
beacon.
That
will
have
my
direct
phone
number
on
them
and
I'll.
Do
the
initial
intake,
where
I
assess
whether
they're
eligible
for
our
services
and
I'll
collect
all
the
necessary
facts
and
information
on
the
case,
so
that
I
can
present
it
to
the
attorney.
L
If
there
is
a
court
case,
I
will
request
the
court
file
from
beacon
city
court
and
then
I
will
schedule
any
in-person
or
telephone
meetings
with
the
attorney
which
sometimes
I'll
be
present
for
sometimes
we're
trying
to
get
a
case
dismissed.
And
so
I
will
work
with
clients
and
assist
in
drafting
an
affidavit
in
support
of
the
motion
to
dismiss
I'll
also,
sometimes
provide
advice
to
clients.
If
it's
been
provided
to
me
by
an
attorney-
and
I
will
apply
for
arrears-
assistance
in
cases
where
there's
rental
arrears,
so
next
slide.
K
K
It's
not
easy,
and
so
we
know
anecdotally
that
there
are
people
who
probably
would
qualify
for
rental
assistance,
rental
arrears,
there's
programs
that
pay
for
all
kinds
of
things
that
people
can't
access,
because
it's
it's
very
onerous,
it's
very
difficult
and
if
you
don't
provide
exactly
the
right
documentation,
you're
going
to
be
denied,
I
can
tell
you,
as
the
manager
in
my
office,
I
review
every
application
and
oftentimes
we're
going
back
and
forth.
You
know
to
get
this
client,
the
arrear.
K
You
know
arrears
money
to
fit
under
this
specification,
and
so
we
work
hard
as
a
team
and
we've
got
a
paralegal,
an
attorney
and
a
manager
and
a
whole
grants
department.
But
when
we're
going
to
other
agencies,
it
can
often
be
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
pushing
so
my
last
slide
before
I
open
it
up
for
questions.
K
Is
you
know,
sort
of
anticipating
some
of
the
things
that
I
thought
people
would
you
know
would
raise
as
issues
and
the
first
one
I'm
going
to
actually
raise
is.
Is
what
dan
asked
me
as
we
were
walking
in
the
courtroom,
which
is
probably
the
biggest
question
that
people
have,
which
is
if
we
can't,
if
a
person
doesn't
qualify
for
our
services,
where,
where
do
you
set
them?
K
The
reality
is
there
is
no
other
provider
in
dutchess
county
or
in
most
of
our
counties
that
provides
free
civil
legal
services
to
tenants
facing
evictions
right
now,
I've
got
three
full-time
attorneys
doing
housing,
eviction
work,
and
so,
as
you
can
imagine
in
for
every
case
that
comes
to
us
in
dutchess
county,
we
try.
Our
best
to
you
know,
put
people
in
the
right
direction.
K
My
agency
runs
a
pro
bono
unit
that
sometimes
can
can
assist
and
they're
really
trying
to
prevail
upon
the
private
bar
to
do
some
of
this
pro
bono
work,
and
so
we
do
see
cases
in
court
where
a
pro
bono
attorney,
that
is
a
private
attorney
who's
agreeing
to
represent
a
tenant
free
of
charge.
We
do
see
that
from
time
to
time
and
that's
something
that
we
hope
to
build
up,
but
that's
the
reality.
K
So
you
know
some
of
the
trends
and
challenges
when
we
talk
about
e-wraps
day
so
e-wrap
is,
is
the
pot
of
money
from
the
government
to
help?
I
think
people
have
heard
of
this
15
months
that
you
can
apply
for
to
pay
for
arrears
funding
once
so
and
and
per
the
law
if
you've
applied
for
that
funding,
your
court
cases
is
is
halted,
however,
what
we're
finding
more
increasingly
patients
were
up
here.
K
What
she
would
say
is
that
that
15
months
for
a
lot
of
her
clients
are
coming
to
an
end,
and
so
the
judges
are
so.
If
you
owe
more
than
the
15
months,
the
judges
are
now
saying:
well
forget
that
15
months,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
with
this
case
based
on
money,
is
owed
outside
of
that
15
months,
so
we're
finding
people
who
that
is
coming
to
an
end.
K
Now.
What
does
that
lead
to
our
next
big
challenge?
Where
do
people
go?
I
mean
you
know.
I
know
this
council,
you
know
talks.
A
lot
has
been
very
thoughtful
about
affordable
housing.
Where
do
people
go,
but
it
is
really
really
an
issue.
We
have
the
section.
8
wait
list
is
actually
growing
shorter
and
shorter,
because
people
can't
avail
themselves
of
that
section.
K
We
haven't
seen
it
full,
you
know
full
on,
but
as
time
goes
on,
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
seeing
more
and
more
more
and
more
people.
You
know
the
sheriff
is
going
to
be
coming
effectuating
that
eviction
and
the
question
is:
where
does
that
family
go?
I
mean
we
hope
that
it
doesn't
get
to
that
point.
We
try
when
we
get
a
client
who
has
that
section,
8
voucher,
for
example,
we
try
to
get
them
out,
because
section
8
will
still
work
with
them.
If
the
sheriff
hasn't
come.
K
So
we
try
to
get
people
out
as
quick
as
we
can.
We
are
very
excited
to
be:
I'm
actually
hiring
right
now.
Somebody
who's
going
to
be
more
like
a
social
worker
case
manager
and
that
person
is
going
to
be
really.
I
think,
a
big
part
of
their
job
is
going
to
be
helping
people
find
affordable,
housing
and
pounding
the
pavement
in
every
housing.
G
G
F
K
A
F
K
F
K
It
is
against
the
law
to
not
accept
a
section
8
voucher,
but
if
the
unit
I
mean
this
is
going
farther
into
sort
of
the
legality,
you
know
the
the
legalities
of
eviction
law
and
I
will
say,
as
an
chris
and
I
have
talked
about
this,
we
are
happy
to
do
like
a
know.
Your
rights
presentation-
we've
talked
about
doing
it
right
before
city
council
meeting,
and
so
that
would
be
something
we
could
talk
about.
K
A
A
G
A
K
You
know
where
affordable
housing
is,
you
know
helping
people,
you
know,
sometimes
it's
just
the
overwhelming
task
of
looking
and
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
go
and
what's
affordable,
and
you
know
what
the
transportation
is
potentially
to
work,
and
you
know
figuring
all
of
that
out.
So
so
I
think
you
know,
I
think
patience
is
very
excited
that
we're
going
to
be
having
that
role
in
our
office
we
used
to
many
years
ago,
and
it
was.
K
Absolutely-
and
we
do
it
all
the
time
one
of
my
attorneys,
who
does
most
of
the
city
of
poughkeepsie
eviction
cases
is
doing
it.
I
think
tomorrow,
night
with
community
voices
heard
with
eli,
who
I
think
you
all
know,
I
think
many
of
you
have
met
justin
haynes
who's,
my
supervising
attorney.
He
did
one
saturday
morning
and
we
we
go
to
where
communities
want
us
to
go.
K
F
H
K
If
you,
as
a
city
council,
want
to
you,
know,
keep
on
top
of
how
many
you
know
how
many
eviction
cases
are
happening
in
this
period
of
time,
if
you
know
you
want
to
look
and
see.
Okay,
let's
like
take
a
similarly
situated
city
with
about
the
same
population
size,
you
can
look
at
the
tenant
dashboard
and
get
that
information.
K
H
I
was
just
curious
going
back
to
this
question
of
you
know:
people
you
can't
afford
to
represent.
Do
you
know?
I
know
this
is
outside.
Maybe
your
knowledge
of
are
just
seeing
that
new
york
city
has
initiated
their
own
right
to
counsel
program
within
the
boundaries
of
new
york
city
for
residents.
There
do
you
know
of
anything
outside
of
new
york
city.
That's
taken
shape
like
that
anything
duchess
or
westchester,
or
any
other
places
that
you
also
work
in.
So
I
think.
K
We
we
did
share
this
in
an
initial
meeting
that
we
do
have
a
program
in
yonkers,
where
you
know
they
are
interested
in
right
to
counsel,
and
so
we
do
have
dedicated
attorneys
who
are
focused
on
that
court
and
we're
funded
to
do
that.
So
you
know
there
is,
I
think,
interest
in
in
this.
So
yes,
we
have
seen
that.
A
And
under
the
contract
there
are
eight
reporting
requirements
per
quarter.
We
haven't
seen
any
reports
yet
from
legal
services,
but
maybe
as
a
follow-up
to
this
meeting,
you
can
send
that
on
to
us
with
what
you've
done,
based
on
what's
required
in
the
contract
and
then
we'll
distribute
that
to
all
of
the
council
and
that
that
has
much
more
data
than
you
just
got.
M
B
M
A
B
A
You
you
have
a
memo
from
the
planning
department.
We,
if
you
remember,
we
last
referred
this
to
our
city,
beacon,
planning
department,
asking
for
their
opinion,
specifically
on
this,
the
exclusion
of
smaller
lots
and
they
came
back
with
the
memo.
That's
in
your
packet
and
nick
is
on,
and
john
clark
is
on.
If
you
have
any,
if
either
or
both
of
them
have
anything
on
this.
B
Okay,
yeah,
so
from
what
I
could
see,
the
planning
board
basically
said
they
did
not
support
limiting
the
accessory
apartments
and
not
allowing
them
on
r15s
and
r175.
So
r15
is
a
50
by
100
foot
lot.
So
one
of
the
lots
you'd
see
near
main
street
and
then
an
r175
is
the
single
family.
Lot
that's
about
75
by
100,
instead
of
50
by
100,
so
about
half,
again
larger
and
again,
obviously
they're,
not
always
exactly
that
size
in
terms
of
the
dimensions.
B
B
And
then
they
also
said
they
were
supportive
of
waiving
the
parking
requirement
that
allowing
the
planning
board
to
waive
the
parking
requirement,
which
would
be
a
case-by-case
situation.
They
were
supportive
of
allowing
that.
I
think
those
are
the
two
items
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
public
could
hear
what
they
were.
What
the
planning
board
was
saying.
H
N
B
In
that
section
it
may
not
be
as
far
as
south
as
well
caught
me
more
be
like
west
center,
but
those
tend
to
be
between
those
two
tend
to
be
r15
or
some
r175
they
get
bigger.
When
you
go
up
the
tree
streets
or
south
of
wolcott,
I'm
just
trying
to
remember
mount
beacon
park
is
more
of
an
r175
john,
not
an
r15,
maybe
even
r110,
I'm
not
sure,
but
you
can
get
a
sense
of
yeah.
The
the
closer
in
to
main
street
are
the
ones
that
tend
to
be
smaller
right.
H
D
So,
procedurally,
the
next
step
would
be
to
consideration
of
scheduling
the
local
law
or
public
hearing
which
you
can
schedule
for
your
august
15th
meeting.
It
does
not
need
to
be
referred
back
to
the
city
planning
work
because
they've,
given
you
two
opinions
already
that
were
received
and
reviewed
in
his
most
recent
format,
it
would
need
to
go
to
dutchess
county
one
more
time.
Just
for
review.
Justice
county
did
previously
comment,
favoritely
on
a
prior
path
to
the
local
law.
A
H
Yeah,
that
was
my
only
question
and
I'm
I
don't
have
a
strong
opinion
either
way.
If
we
did
have
a
public
hearing,
would
we
want
to
wait
until
september
is
august
a
time
when
people?
I
know
that
last
time
it
came
up
for
the
previous
council,
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
it,
so
I
didn't
know
if
the
public
would
prefer
to
wait
or
because
they
already
said
a
lot
and
are
already
aware
that
there's
not
a
need
to
delay.
If
we
did
want
to
have
a
public
hearing,
it
was
a
question
I
had.
B
B
So,
just
to
remind
everyone
the
way
this
is
written
now
the
r15
and
r175
are
still
permitted
in
this
draft.
Okay,
are
there
things
that
we
would
want
to
discuss
that
people
have
that
we'd
like
to
get
into
this
law
or
are
we
thinking?
Are
we
ready
to
just
start
hearing
what
the
public
has
to
say
and
then
go
back
and
have
a
look
at
what
we've
got.
F
F
How
is
it
monitored?
I
know
that's
sort
of
based
in
there,
but
do
are
we?
I
think
I
would
feel
a
lot
more
comfortable
if
I
felt
like
the
building
department
or
whoever
enforces
it
is
prepared.
If
there's,
the
number
of
these
things
do
increase
that
there
is
an
ability
to
monitor
it
on
a
regular
basis.
A
B
I
thought
what
we
had
heard
was
that
that
program
would
be
able
to
check.
I
don't
know
40
some
sites
for
rentals
and
and
importantly
that
that
would
be
evidence
of
you
know
sufficient
evidence
to
demonstrate
a
short-term
rental
at
a
site,
so
that
plus,
is
it.
Owner-Occupied
is
sort
of
all
we
need
to
know
the
way
the
law
is
now
set
up,
so
I
think
we've
got
it
right.
Obviously,
we
want
to
see
that
it
works,
but
I
think
that
would
be
good.
B
The
first
you
know
if
we
pass
this
law
tomorrow,
it'd
be
six
months
before
an
accessory
apartment
would
come
out
of
it
right
because
you
got
to
get
through
the
planning
process
and
then
actually
construct
the
unit.
So
I
I
don't
think
it
should
be
a
problem
unless
you
think
it's
dead
in
the
water
but
you're
just
saying
it's,
it's
a
little
slow
to
start
up.
It's
not
that
it.
A
B
A
B
All
right,
good,
all
right,
so
that
sounds
like
a
plan
and-
and
you
know
again
we're
not
solving
everything
we're
just
starting
up
the
public
hearing.
There
may
be
bits
that
we
can
go
back
and
forth
on
right.
Okay,
we
good
to
go
on
yeah,
so
five
fish
kill,
creek,
green
and
green
infrastructure.
We're
holding.
We
just
got
the
information,
we'll
pick
it
up
on
the
15th
and
then
six
is
just
appointing
thomas
wright
to
the
cac,
and
I
received
an
application.
I
also
received
a
question
the
committee,
I'm
certainly
fine
with
that.
M
B
H
B
A
Sure
we
are
going
to
be
renovating
the
topkins
hose
firehouse.
As
you
know,
we
put
it
in
the
capital
plan.
It
is
part
of
the
15-year
consolidation
from
three
fire
houses
to
one
we
hope
to
be
breaking
ground
on
the
firehouse
project
next
march
or
april,
and
we're
in
the
design
phase.
Now
a
couple
of
things
we
we
had
initially
talked
about
having
a
clerk
of
the
works.
That
would
be
part
time.
In
that
discussion,
it
came
out
that
we
really
should
be
doing
a
full-time
construction
management
firm.
A
The
palumbo
group
gave
us
the
best
the
best
proposal.
I've
also
worked
with
the
palumbo
group
on
a
8
million
dollar
project
in
kingston.
That
went
very
well.
So
I
have
a
level
of
familiarity
and
comfort
with
the
principal
lou
palump,
lupelumba,
lou
rodriguez,
and
so
the
contract
would
be
for
eighty
383
thousand
three
hundred
eighty
seven
dollars.
A
It
includes
a
phase
where
they
participate
in
the
design,
so
they're
gonna
help
look
at
value
engineering
opportunities,
they're
gonna,
help
the
architect
think
about
phasing
the
project
and
bidding
how
we
break
down
the
bid
so
that
we
get
the
best
price.
We
get
the
best
quality
and
we
get
through
the
project
as
quickly
as
possible,
the
the
less
time
it
takes
us
to
construct
this,
the
less
it
will
cost.
A
So-
and
I
know
I
live
in
newport's
and
he
just
did
the
new
pulse
firehouse
and
it
it
just
went
very
well,
and
he
also
did
the
firehouse
in
poughkeepsie.
So
he
he's
done
a
spade
of
public
projects
k
through
12
projects
in
in
the
case
of
the
project
we
did.
It
was
a
community
college
project,
so
he's
very,
very
knowledgeable
about
wick's
law,
which
requires
that
we
bid
this
broken
down
by
trades.
A
A
I'll
I'll
be
the
owners,
rep
and
also
john
russo.
Our
city
engineer
has
been
working
with
me
so
that
he
can
keep
an
eye
on
the
civil
aspects.
The
civil
design
aspects
of
the
outside,
so
john
russo's,
been
on
my
team
gary,
our
fire
chief
is
there
for
any
of
the
firematic
questions,
and
then
we
have
already
included
lou
in
the
first,
his
first
discussion
and
and
again,
I
think,
he's
he's
ready
to
hit
the
ground
running.
A
It
isn't
in
the
scope
of
work
for
the
for
the
architect.
We
are
trying
to
some.
Sometimes
you
can
have
a
greener
building.
That's
not
leed
certified
like
so
lead
is,
is
one
specific
program
that
get
awards
points
for
a
variety
of
things
like
if
you
have
bike
lockers
or
something
you
get
points
for
that
or
you
use
a
company
that
recycles
some
of
the
demolition
materials.
A
So
you
know,
am
I
going
to
have
every
little?
Sometimes
you
look
at
those
lead
lists
and
you're
like.
I
can't
believe
they
gave
two
points
for
that
right.
You
know,
so
I
really
rather
not
if,
if
we
can
get
there
yeah,
but
I
want
to
focus
on
the
big
stuff
that
actually
matters
in
terms
of
environmental
impact
so
for
sure.
H
A
Just
finished
it
and
I
think
they
had,
I
think
they
they
did
a
ceremony
for
it
a
couple
weeks
ago,
but
they're
in
the
closeout
phase,
so
they're
running
through
they're,
getting
all
of
the
as
built
they're,
making
sure
that
all
of
the
paperwork
is
in
alignment.
But
it's
beautiful.
If
you
just
go
up
the
thruway
and
it's
right
off
the
throughway.
H
H
There's
nothing
after
2015
to
now-
and
I
get
part
of
that
is
probably
covid
related
and
then
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
they're
working
on
right
now.
So
I
had
a
curiosity
about
the
the
reason
for
that
gap
and,
knowing
you
know,
they're
a
small
enough
company
that
there
might
have
been
staffing
changes
or
things
like
that
and
just
wanting
to
make
sure.
A
I
don't
think
he
put
every
project
in
that
he's
done.
I
think
when
they
do
these
proposals
they're
looking
at
the
most
relevant
projects
to
what
we've
done.
So
I
know
they
finished
the
firehouse
in
new
paltz
and
I
know
that
went
really
well
and
they're,
not
that
small
they're.
One
of
the
things
you
would
ask
me
is
to
look
for
a
firm
that
had
a
bench.
A
M
B
A
Sure
so
the
project
is
an
upgrade
of
all
the
water
meters,
the
residential
water
meters
throughout
the
city.
It's
a
project
that
was
approved
in
the
2020
capital
budget
and
because
of
covid
we
didn't
move
forward
with
implementing
it
and
now
we're
trying
to
queue
it
up.
The
contract
is
for
one
million
five
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
two
dollars
and
it's
with
core
and
main
lp,
and
basically
what
they're
doing
is
they're
the
company
that
have
provided
the
water
meters
that
we
already
have
we're
replacing
the
the
item.
A
A
C
A
A
But
we're
excited
about
it.
One
of
the
worst
calls
I
get
is
when
somebody
has
one
of
these
large
bills
and
there's
honestly
very
little,
you
can
do
about
it
because
they
used
the
water.
It
went
through
their
meter
and
if
we
have
an
alert,
we
can
call
somebody
and
say:
hey
you,
just
your
water,
just
spiked
at
10
times
what
you
normally
use.
You
have
a
leak.
We
think.
H
Sort
of
related
to
that,
if
people
are
able
to
check
real
time,
I'm
under
the
assumption
that
maybe
I'm
misunderstanding,
how
it
works.
But
if
someone
were
to
check
you
know
late
on
a
friday
afternoon
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
call
the
city,
they
might
not
get
a
response
until
monday
and
then
they
might
get
frustrated
that
they're
liable
for
the
water
over
the
weekend.
A
To
those
kinds
of,
but
again
I
mean
now,
it's
not
just
waiting
two
days,
it's
waiting
two
months
right,
so
it
would
be
limited
if
it
was
bad
enough
if
there
was
a
broken
pipe
and
it
was
flooding
somebody's
basement
and
they
called
the
police,
I'm
I'm
guessing.
Our
water
department
would
come
in
and
try
to
address
it
and
they
have
in
the
past.
Okay,.
H
B
H
B
C
H
A
And
they're
excited
about
it
too.
So
this
the
implementation
again
ed
talked
a
little
bit
about
it
and
cora
main
talked
a
little
bit
about
it.
If
we
pass
the
contract,
it
will
be
about
a
two-year
project
and
they
will
put
out
letters
and
announcements
on
working
with
the
city
and
using
our
letterhead,
letting
people
know
when
we
need
to
get
in
scheduling
this.
But
it's
it's
a
lot
of
work.
It's
over
4000
meters,
so
we
expect
about
24
months,
minimum.
B
Okay,
any
questions
again,
we'll
hear
it
again
at
the
approval
session,
so
we're
just
determining
any
questions
before
we
move
move
it
forward
for
approval
the
the
last
three.
I
guess
we
can
cover
them
together,
because
nick
you're
going
to
take
us
through
them.
Two
of
them
are
bond
authorizations,
one
for
melzinga
the
dam
and
then
one
for
the
firehouse
renovations.
B
A
Let
me
give
a
quick
summary
and
then
I'll
let
nick
dive
into
details.
So
the
reason
that
you
have
two
bond
authorizations
to
approve
is
that
in
the
2023,
the
2027
capital
program,
there
were
two
major
items
that
we
weren't
just
going
to
use
our
fund
balance.
For
so
it
was
the
firehouse
at
at
over
10
million
dollars
and
it
was
mel
zinger
two
point:
what
are
we
at
2.9?
Yes,
the
the
repeal
is
basically
housekeeping,
so
we
did
authorizations
years
ago.
A
The
scope
of
work
changed
the
amount,
the
cost
of
it
changed,
or
we
didn't
finish
all
of
the
projects
we
decided.
There
was
something
better
to
do
so.
What
susan
tucker
our
finance
director
did
is
go
through
and
look
at
all
of
the
unex
unexpended
funds
and
then
cl
we're
going
to
close
those
out.
So
it's
kind
of
like
closing
out
a
credit
card
that
you
haven't
used
in
a
while.
That's
holding
up
your
available
credit.
C
D
The
resolution
sets
forth
a
couple
of
requirements.
One
is
noting
that
it's
subject
to
permissive
referendum,
the
other
is
the
use
of
the
funds,
and
one
of
the
required
items
is
also
the
state
environmental
quality
review
act.
Will
this
have
an
impact
on
the
environment?
This
is
considered
a
type
2
action
exempt
from
secret
review,
because
the
issuance
of
the
bonds
are
being
used
to
repair
and
maintain
the
existing
structure
of
the
dam.
D
The
project
includes
construction
of
new
square
footages
of
over
one
hundred
thousand
four
over
four
accents
where
it
be
so,
it
is
subject
to
secret
as
an
unlisted
action
and
that's
why
you'll
find
in
your
agenda
package.
The
environmental
assessment
form
parts
one
and
two
and
we've
prepared,
what's
called
the
negative
declaration,
finding
that
the
construction
of
the
improvements,
as
well
as
the
additional
work
being
done
within
the
existing
building,
will
not
have
a
significant
adverse
environmental
impact.
D
Remember
this
project
is
building
on
the
existing
lodge,
so
you're,
not
disturbing
trees
and
large
areas
that
have
not
been
relatively
disturbed.
You
have
existing
water
and
sewer
character.
The
neighbor
is
not
changing
because
it's
already
a
fire
station,
and
so
the
secret
impacts
are
do
not
rise
to
the
level
that
an
environmental
impact
statement
needs
to
be
prepared,
and
that's
why
the
resolution
proposes
a
negative
declaration
and
again
the
same
word
of
the
plate,
language
and
bond
concerning
the
issues
of
the
funds.
D
J
A
I
know
that
we
changed
the
the
design
of
the
mount
beacon
reservoir
work
to
do
less
concrete
in
the
front,
because
we
had
a
larger
like
when
the
bids
came
in.
It
was
about
a
million
dollars
over.
So
I'm
wondering
if
that
might
be
what
you're
talking
about.
I
don't
know
that
the
2.9
has
changed.
Okay,
I
think
that's
what
I've
known
it
to
be
since.
A
A
M
A
It
it
depends.
It
was
mostly
scope
changes
to
the
project
so
like
they
might
have
anticipated,
starting
out
doing
something
with
the
sewer
improvements
and
then
they
they
ended
up
doing
something
or
they
or
they
decided
not
to
do
it
at
that
time,
so
these
authorizations
sometimes
aren't
fully
utilized.
In
other
cases,
we
got
money
like
with
the
fire
truck.
We
got
money
back
from
the
sale
of
our
a
fire
truck.
We
did
really
well
on
that,
and
then
we
got
a
grant
from
assemblyman
jacobson
that
helped
defray
the
local
cost.
H
I
have
a
question
from
the
short
environmental
assessment
form
I
was
just
looking
through
and
it
says
that
has
a
question
about:
does:
does
the
site
contain
any
species
of
animals
or
associated
habitats
listed
by
the
state
or
the
feds
as
threatened
or
endangered,
apparently
atlantic
sturgeon
and
short
nose
show
up?
Is
that?
Because
it's
in
the
watershed,
I
assume
there
aren't
any
of
those
underground
in
the
site?
Is
that.
A
A
Well,
I'm
not
gonna
start
now
and
and
we
we
added
the
bats
too.
You
have
at
least
one
species
of
bat,
but
but
again
it's
a
disturb
sight
already,
so
it
it's
really
hard
to
argue
that
we're
doing
anything,
that's
not
more
environmental
you're,
making
the
building
a
lot
more
efficient
than
it
was
and
reusing
a
brownfield
site.
Essentially.
A
Yeah-
and
I
I
if
ben
will,
let
me
share
my
screen-
I
just
would
as
we're
talking
about
these
large
capital
projects,
I'd
love
to
just
show
you
quickly
a
photo
of
what
the
pocket
dam
looks
like
the
thanks
ben
now.
I
just
have
to
figure
out
how
how
the
heck
do
it,
so
the
pocket
dam
and
mount
beacon
are
something
that
you've
already
approved.
A
And
this
is
a
photo
of
what
it
looks
like
this
week,
so
the
whole
face
of
the
dam
has
been
taken
off.
That's
rebar.
That's
been
set
up
to
receive
new
con
concrete.
This
is
our
smallest
dam,
which
is
at
the
bottom
of
the
creek
that
emanates
out
of
mount
beacon.
So
this
will
be
done
this
year
and
then
mount
beacon
will
be
done
the
following
year.
So
if
you
go
up,
let
me
see
if
I
can
grab
the
other
one
quick.
A
B
E
Good
evening,
teresa
craft
beacon,
as
a
resident
I'd
like
to
see
a
moratorium
on
accessory
dwelling
units
throughout
the
city
of
beacon,
regardless
of
what
zoning
district
they
are
located
in.
In
the
recent
past,
the
city
planner
stated
that
there
were
only
a
small
handful
of
requests
in
the
last
few
years,
but
anyone
with
eyes
can
see
that
in
the
last
few
months
there
has
been
a
large
uptick
in
the
number
of
applications
submitted
and
even
more
troubling
are
the
many
that
don't
go
through
the
city
channels.
E
Perhaps
it
could
be
a
double
moratorium
and
put
a
hold
on
short-term
rentals.
The
influx
of
rolling
luggage
and
ubers
in
every
neighborhood
is
a
red
flag.
Let's
follow
what's
going
on
down
in
cold
spring
and
in
the
other,
hudson
river
cities
and
municipalities
we're
seeing
so
many
shovels
in
the
ground
with
large
development
projects,
starting
to
finish
coming
to
fruition.
E
I'm
sure
I'm
not
the
only
one
looking
but
I'd
like
to
see
more
attachments
included
in
the
agendas
regardless.
If
it's
a
workshop
in
reviewing
tonight's
workshop
packet,
the
segment
regarding
fishkill
creek
and
the
green
infrastructure,
there
were
no
supporting
documents.
I
heard
you
take
it
off
tonight's
agenda
because
it
came
just
recent,
but
this
is
also
seen
in
other
agendas
at
other
meetings
and
the
fish
go
creek
and
the
green
infrastructure
is
a
hot
topic
in
beacon,
so
we'll
be
following.
Thank
you.
P
M
C
M
We'll
work
our
way
around
yeah
thanks
just
one
thing
for
me
that
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
and
congratulations
to
joe
pimentel
to
the
we
play
community
project
to
the
beacon,
rec
department
and
all
the
children
and
all
the
parents
who
got
in
on
painting
the
the
bathroom,
the
the
shed
in
green
street
park.
It
looks
beautiful.
M
J
O
G
G
I
don't
know
if
this
has
been
an
increase
or
what
but
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
of
loud
bikes
in
the
evening
and
a
lot
of
other
my
neighbors
have
as
well
like
loud
motorcycles
and
whatnot,
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
we
could
do
about
it
per
se.
I
don't
know
if
that's
happening,
I
don't
know
if
that's
residents
of
beacon
or
people
who
are
just
driving
through,
but
if
you
are,
if
you
do
live
in
beacon.
G
G
Somebody
was
telling
me
some
neighbors
on
dennings
avenue
were
talking
about
how
there
used
to
be
a
slow
children,
sign
there
and
there's
not
one
anymore,
and
they
were
wondering
if
that
could
get
back
there,
and
so
maybe
that's
something
that
we
could
look
into,
and
I
also
want
to
encourage
people
to
download
the
dutchess
county
public
transportation
app.
You
can
type
in
dcpt
in
the
app
store
or
google
play
store
and
it
has
the
buses
the
public
transportation
in
real
time.
You
can
track
them
as
they're
going.
G
So
if
you
want
to
catch
the
free
loop,
but
you
don't
know
where
it
is,
you
can
see
where
it
is
in
real
time,
and
I
think
that's
really
amazing
yeah.
No,
it's
really
wonderful,
especially
when
things
aren't
running
on
time.
Do
you
want
to
know
if
you
missed
it
or
if
it's
late
check
the
app?
So
again,
you
can
just
type
in
dc
pt
in
the
app
store
or
google
play
store
or
dutchess
county
public
transportation.
It's
it's
a
really
good
app
to
just
have
and
another
thing.
G
I
want
to
congratulate
the
howland
for
150
years.
Their
celebration
is
august.
5Th
at
5
p.m,
at
the
holland
cultural
center.
If
you
have
the
opportunity
to
go,
I
really
encourage
you
to
do
so,
and
I've
also,
just
over
the
past
couple
of
months,
seen
a
lot
of
fires
in
the
area,
especially
in
my
ward
and
I'm
wondering
if
maybe
the
fire
department
could
do
some
sort
of
fire
safety
presentation,
maybe
for
in
at
the
council
or
somewhere
else.
I
think
that
might
be
really
helpful
or
beneficial
and
oh.
G
Lastly,
I
don't
know
that
I
have
office
out.
I
don't
have
office
hours
yet
this
month,
however,
you
can
book
an
appointment
with
me
whether
it's
coffee
or
a
zoo,
meeting
or
phone
call.
If
you
go
to
my
website,
it's
link
tree
slash
justice
mccray.
So
it's
l,
I
n
k,
t
r
dot
e
e,
slash
justice,
mcrae,
and
you
can
also
sign
up
to
my
newsletter
and
find
other
helpful
links
there
and
that.
H
H
Thanks
justice,
as
was
mentioned
by
a
member
of
the
public,
that
there
is
a
bunch
of
construction
going
on
on
the
west
side
of
ward
one.
So
that's
everything
that
is
to
the
west
of
north
avenue,
wolcott
and
9d
there's
a
couple
of
projects
that
are
either
about
to
break
ground
or
in
the
works,
and
I
just
wanted
to
name
that.
H
H
I
will
not
be
having
office
hours
in
august
and
I
will
return
in
september
with
those
and
lastly,
I
got
a
chance
to
use
the
local
beacon
pool
this
weekend,
which
was
fabulous,
and
I
hope
those
of
you
who
want
to
take
advantage
of
it
and
just
a
reminder
that
what
they're
doing
this
year
is,
if
you
want
to
use
it,
you
need
to
register
in
advance.
You
can
find
the
information
on
the
website
about
accessing
it.
H
B
B
So
we
had
that.
That's
the
one
that
was
mentioned.
That's
240
some
units,
including
25
units
of
affordable-
it's
actually
supported
financially
by
the
community
preservation
corporation,
which
has
been
instrumental
in
wow
almost
every
one
of
our
major
projects
in
terms
of
renovating
and
beacon
over
the
years
and
we're
just
very
appreciative
of
their
support
along
with
orange
bank
and
trust
and
salisbury
bank
saturday
was
employee
appreciation
day.
B
We
actually
tried
that
for
the
first
time
in
beacon,
chris
will
probably
tell
you
more,
but
the
food
was
really
good
had
a
lot
left
over
somehow
baklava
appeared
and
a
good
time
was
had
by
all,
and
I'm
just
always
appreciative
of
how
of
how
hard
our
employees
have
worked.
I,
I
will
say
it
feels
different
sitting
in
in
this
seat.
B
I
feel
a
lot
of
just
appreciation
of
how
hard
everyone
has
to
work
and
we
all
think
it
happens
and
don't
even
notice
and
they're
out
there
doing
the
job
every
day
in
every
apartment.
So
I'm
I'm
just
very
appreciative.
The
last
one
I
just
want
to
mention
is
that
we
had
a
meeting.
It
was
chris
myself
and
gary
van
vuers,
the
chief.
B
A
So
I
wanted
to
echo
dan's
comments
about
green
street
park
and
now
that
I've
learned
how
to
share
screen,
I
wanted
to
show
a
photo.
Oh
it's
on
mine
there.
It
is
so
this.
This
is
what
the
new
bathroom
looks
like,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
the
volunteers
that
participated
in
this
and
again
kudos
to
mark
price
in
our
recreation
department
for
thinking
of
this
and
making
it
happen
and
all
right
now,
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing.
A
If
I
can
figure
out
how
to
do
that,
I
I
wanted
to
announce
that
we
received
a
municipal
investment
grant
from
dutchess
county
in
the
amount
of
nearly
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
self-contained
breathing
apparatus
or
sba
gear
for
our
fire
department.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
duchess
county
transportation
council.
A
A
B
J
M
M
H
B
B
And
I
will
just
say
that
I
I
still
learn
things.
This
is
the
first
time
that
the
city
is
not
using
a
clerk
of
the
works
approach
and
I
think
of
a
project
this
size.
I
think
this
is
absolutely
right
given
this
is.
This
represents
three
to
four
percent
of
the
total
budget
and
I've
already
heard
things
that
will
be
hopefully
being
translate
into
cost
savings.
B
I
think
the
clerk
of
the
works
probably
around
half
this,
but
I
actually
think
the
level
of
professionalism
is
really
appropriate
for
a
large
project
things
as
basic
as
do
we
do
all
the
construction
at
once
and
reduce
the
time
frame
down.
I
heard
a
proposal
of
going
from
14
months
to
10
if
we
were
able
to
find
different
locations
for
the
fire
trucks,
and
just
do
it
all
at
once,
as
opposed
to
the
original
idea
of
first,
we
build
the
new
bays.
B
B
B
M
A
Yeah,
it
comes
from
the
from
the
water
fund
and
it
would
be
out
of
bonds
and
some
of
it
from
the
fund
balance.
So
each
fund,
the
general
fund,
the
water
fund
and
the
sewer
fund-
all
we
all.
We
have
a
savings
account
there,
and
I
think
I
think
what
susan
had
proposed
to
do
on
this
is
mostly
from
the
fund
balance,
because
we
have
a
pretty
healthy
front
balance
it
in
the
water
in
the
water
fund
fund,
yeah
right.
B
So
we
have
to
keep
a
separate
fund
balance
for
water
sewer
and
then
the
general
fund
right
right
and
the
when
you
do
bonding
in
the
water
and
sewer
it's
the
fees
that
are
coming
in
that
support
those
bonds,
as
opposed
to
our
general
bonds
like
for
the
firehouse.
There
aren't
any
fees
associated
with
it,
so
that's
sort
of
a
general
obligation,
as
opposed
to
a
revenue
bond.
If
I've
got
the
terms
right.
Nick
will
probably
correct
me
right
now.
B
Okay
shock:
okay,
any
other
discussion
on
that.
So,
let's
come
up
with
a
vote
all
in
favor
on
executing
agreement
with
corn
maine
for
water
meter
upgrades,
say:
aye
aye
aye.
Anyone
opposed
okay,
so
the
next
one
is
authorizing
bond
issuance
for
the
melzinger
reservoir
dam
and
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
in
a
second.
B
B
B
But
because
well
george
was
raising
issues
about
the
time
that
someone
also
got
involved,
and
let
us
know
that
we
had
to
do
a
bunch
of
changes
with
our
storm,
water
and
sewer,
and
that
was
a
pretty
hefty
bill
and
now
we're
doing
the
water
piece,
and
I
think
really,
this
just
sets
us
up
for
a
long
time.
I'm
just
really
impressed
at
the
ability
to
just
kind
of
keep
having
at
it
a
little
bit
at
a
time.
The
roads
are
exactly
the
same.
B
You
know
we
can't
possibly
afford
to
redo
roads,
the
the
milling
and
paving
component
that
we
do.
If,
if
you
go
to
another
large
city
in
the
valley,
I
won't
call
anyone
names,
but
the
look
at
the
roads
and
be
careful
when
you're
driving
right
awesome.
So
we've
done
stunt
a
lot.
We've
got
more
to
do,
but
I'm
just
I'm
just
telling
you
I'm
really
impressed
and
excited
so
excuse
the
babble
let's
go
on
the
next
one
is.
