Description
The City of Beacon Council Workshop from June 5, 2023
A
B
A
Is
under
the
weather
and
we'll
proceed
with
the
five
of
us
Chris.
You
mentioned
the
city
attorney's
on
the
line
and
John
Clark
as
well.
Yes,
okay,
hey
everybody
good
evening!
So
the
first
item
we're
going
to
pick
up
is
on
six
Commerce
Street.
There's
a
proposed
rezoning
John!
You
want
to
take
us
through
that.
C
So
mayor
this
is
next
week.
I,
don't
know
if
John
is
around
you,
but
I
can
jump,
start
some
start
and
talk,
and
then
John
can
certainly
film
some
of
the
details,
so
the
city
council
and
in
your
packet
is
a
request
from
the
property
owner
Hudson
Todd
for
the
rezoning
of
a
six
Commerce
Street.
Also
in
your
package,
is
a
memo
from
John
that
goes
through
with
some
planning
Parts
with
respect
to
the
application.
So
this
is
a
request
from
a
property
owner.
The
city
council
has,
let's
has
the
legislative
discretion
to
take.
C
No
action
defer
this
to
a
plane
board
for
reporting
recommendation
further
Workshop
that
or
if
you're
in
agreement
introduce
legislation
that
would
rezone
the
property,
as
requested
by
the
property
owner
squarely
within
this
council's
discretion.
As
a
matter
of
planning
and
policy.
As
to
whether
you
wish
to
rezone
the
parcel
I
understand,
the
applicant
is
present
to
answer
any
questions
the
council
may
have
a
request
from
the
property
owner
is
to
rezone
six
Commerce
Street,
which
is
a
0.05
acre
parcel
with
an
existing
two
and
a
half
story.
C
Building
from
the
current
District
that
it's
in
the
r1-7.5
into
the
Central
Main
Street
District,
the
CMS,
Zone
and
they've
requested
this,
because
they
would
like
to
change
the
existing
use.
A
single
family
residence
into
a
commercial
use
in
the
in
their
letter,
you'll
see
they've
indicated
that
they've
had
interest
from
individuals
who
would
like
to
use
a
property
for
a
commercial
purpose
and,
as
they
say,
contribute
to
Beacon's
Main
Street
corridor.
C
B
B
Memphis
area
in
relative
detail.
The
reason
this
is
still
in
the
r1-7.5
residential
district
is
that
it
had
single
family
use
at
the
time
and
single
family
dwellings
are
not
a
permitted
use
in
the
CMS
District.
Otherwise
it
would
be
in
the
CMS
District,
because
all
the
joining
Parcels
on
that
side
of
the
street
are
in
the
CMS
District.
B
So
that's
the
reason
it
is
the
way
it
is.
It's
non-conforming,
with
the
7.5
Acres
7.5
7
500
square
feet
required
of
a
lot
in
the
in
that
District
of
the
South.
So
it
is
a
little
bit
of
anomaly
and
I
don't
see
any
reason.
I
did
lay
out
a
few
issues
that
might
be
considered.
The
fact
that
it
is,
it
will
still
be
non-compliant.
B
B
Yes
is
that
it
was
a
single
family
house
and
and
single-family
houses
are
not
a
permitted
use
in
the
CMS
District.
So
when
possible,
you
try
to
create
districts
that
are
in
compliance
with
the
use,
so
you
don't
have
grandfathered
unless
it's
for
some
reason
necessary,
and
in
this
case
it
was
an
adjoining
residential
district
so
that
that's
why
it
was
attached
that
way.
That's
my
memory,
but
it
goes
back
a
few
years
that
I
I
can't
say
for
sure.
B
E
Yeah
I'm
looking
in
the
2017
comprehensive
plan,
and
it
does
appear
that
there
are
a
number
of
homes
that
I'm
aware
of
that
do
fall
within
the
CMS
and
actually
but
also
says
that
what
we're
considering
is
actually
the
CB,
not
the
CMS,
so
I
want
I
know.
There
was
a
more
recent
update
to
zoning.
So
I'm
wondering
if
this
is
the
most
up-to-date
map
as
well.
E
And
it
doesn't
get
down
to
the
level
of
parcel
it's
more
of
a
general
overview
map.
So
maybe
that
also
would
give
us
more
detail,
because
this
would
indicate,
for
example,
along
Main
Street.
Everything
between
Maine
and
church
is
either
CMS
or
PB,
and
it's
not
residential
in
its
zoning.
But
I,
don't
know
if
that
reflects
reality
or
if
that's
more,
what
was
needed
for
the
comprehensive
plan.
C
G
That
I
had
sort
of
a
one
of
101
zoning
question.
I
understanding
is
that
we're
not
supposed
to
in
the
opening
someone
could
break
down
for
me
what
what
that
means
and
how
this
is
not
that
and
what
the
difference
is.
That
would
be
very
helpful.
I'd
like
Molly
was
trying
to
research
it
on
my
own,
but
since
we
have
you
all
on
the
line.
D
A
H
H
Change
made
at
the
time,
I'm
not
sure
it's
particularly
relevant,
but
the
single
that
building
had
a
if
you
walk
around
it.
If
you're
familiar
with
the
the
street
in
the
neighborhood,
you
walk
around
it.
It's
kind
of
a
surrounded
by
very
different
uses
than
you'd
normally
find
in
the
r175
zone.
It
was
had
multiple
uses
over
the
years.
H
Its
most
recent
use
up
until
two
and
a
half
three
years
ago
was
single
family,
but
just
for
a
period
of
time
by
the
custodian
for
the
adjoining
properties,
and
that
was
before
our
ownership.
He
continued
in
Residence
and
in
our
employment.
After
after
we
purchase
the
adjoining
properties
in
2016-2017.
H
C
But
let
me
just
this
is
parcel
Access
First,
so
you
can
just
see
it
in
right,
City
Hall
over
here
and
here's
the
parcel
parking
lot
and
then
Main
Street
and
let
me
switch
now
to
the
zoning
map,
and
this
is
the
air.
This
is
the
part
that
we're
talking
about.
So
you
see
it's
within
the
r
1-7.5
and
it
juts
out
on
Commerce
Street,
to
jump
to
the
other
side
to
include
this
parcel.
I
A
Yeah
I've
known
as
a
parcel
for
obviously
a
long
time
it
was
in
my
the
award
I
originally
represented.
It's
always
been
a
an
interesting.
It's
a
two-story,
Second
Empire
mansard,
roof
home
on
a
matchbox
lot
behind
Main
Street.
So
you
know
I
think
the
uses
make
a
lot
of
sense
that
they
would
be
commercial,
I,
think
I
think
we
would
welcome
office
space
there
we'd
welcome
something
that
would
help
in
terms
of
employment
along
Main,
Street
and
bringing
traffic
having
watched
it
over
the
years.
A
H
We
were
in
the
process
of
redoing
that
whole
back
section
to
better
accommodate
the
services
for
the
Bank
building,
which
was
for
60
years
of
church
and
the
services
behind
the
the
bank
Square
building,
which
runs
from
129
to
137.
Maybe
so,
we've
we've
we're
moving
the
trash
containers
into
a
fenced
and
landscaped
enclosure
on
Commerce
Street
between
six
Commerce
and
the
corner,
so
to
make
the
whole
place
more
attractive
and
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
phased
approach
to
just
kind
of
improving
the
looks
of
the
place.
G
G
C
District,
it's
able
to
use
any
of
the
permitted
uses
within
that
District.
You
can
do
it
as
conditional
zoning
that,
as
a
result
and
only
subject
to
if
they
do
xyzing,
so
they
would
not
be
beholding
to
do
what
they
said
here
would
be
subject
to
whatever
the
community
within
that
District.
But
this
is
not
any
specific
in
mind.
E
Yeah
to
kind
of
piggyback
what
Paloma
just
said,
I
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
potential
uses
in
the
including
the
letter
was
a
cafe
and
I
know.
There
have
been
other
cases
where
businesses
that
aren't
that
are
along
Main
Street,
but
aren't
Main
Street
facing
there's
been
some
conflict
with
residents
depending
on
the
hours
and
uses
of
that
business.
So
what
I'm
hearing
is
we
can't
zone
for
that
or
that
the
Zone
doesn't
allow
us
to
kind
of
be
specific
about
the
uses,
even
if
it
isn't
facing
Main
Street?
E
But
can
we
is
that
something
we
could
through
the
building,
permit
process
kind
of
help
to
control
the
hours
or
would
that
be
something
where,
as
a
city
council
we'd
have
to
set
it
for
all
businesses
and
in
certain
zones
or
areas?
If
we
want,
if
we
felt
that
that
was
something
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
residences,
weren't
negatively
impacted
by
businesses
that
might
have
evening
events.
B
It
transfers
to
a
commercial
use,
it
would
require
site
plan
approval
and
then
the
planning
board
could
regulate
hours
of
operation
or
at
least
during
the
secret
process.
Consider
neighboring
impacts
correct
that
it
might
have
on
the
adjacent
Residential
Properties
on
the
south
side
of
the
street,
so
there
would
be
some
level
of
consort
control,
but
it
wouldn't
be
able
to
say
you
can't
have
Cafe
there.
B
It
would
just
say
that
the
cafe
could
maybe
have
to
close
at
eight
o'clock
or
be
careful
about
its
noise
or
you
know,
have
outdoor
eating
in
the
rear
or
some
other
you
could.
You
know
you
could
use
the
environmental
impact
process
to
to
look
at
it
at
any
negative
impacts
on
residential
uses
in
the
area.
C
It
would
so
the
process
would
be
if
the
council
were
inclined
to
proceed.
It
would
be
the
drafting
of
a
local
law
to
rezone
the
property
fairly
straightforward,
we'll
throw
all
of
that
movement
law
to
the
planning
board
for
reporting
recommendation
from
both
the
county
claim
board
and
the
city
planning
board,
and
then
there
would
be
a
public
hearing
at
that
point,
you
can
proceed
to
Grant,
it
deny
it
or
just
take
no
action.
It
really
is
within
your
legislative
discretion
as
to
how
you
want
to
proceed
on
the
zoning
change.
G
C
I've
not
seen
a
survey,
so
I
can't
speak
to
that,
but
even
if
it
were,
it
is
a
public
sidewalk.
So
under
the
city
code,
it
is
the
responsibility
of
the
property
owner.
It's
also
something
that
your
own
site
plan
review
that
would
be
looked
at
and
if
it
needed
to
be
widened
or
improved
or
connected.
That
would
be
something
the
planning
board
would
look
at
in
good
condition.
Approval
on.
A
H
C
C
A
E
E
You
know
in
line
with
what
we,
as
a
comprehensive
plan,
have
talked
about
for
the
city
as
a
whole
and
the
way
that
it
is
that
it
seems
to
be
as
kind
of
was
mentioned
in
the
letter
kind
of
in
line
with
what
we
want
for
that
side
of
Commerce
Street,
so
I'm
I'm
curious
to
hear
the
Public's
take
on
it
and
also
the
planning
boards,
in
whatever
order,
is
appropriate
to
get
both
of
those
things.
True,
because
there
might
be
nuances
of
this,
that
I'm
I'm
missing
as
well.
C
A
E
C
G
C
C
G
C
I
would
suggest
I
don't
know
that
you
need
to
Workshop
it
again,
because
it's
really
just
redrawing
the
line
of
the
map.
There's
no
text
to
it.
It's
not
like
a
substantive
zoning
law
where
we're
talking
about
setbacks
and
things
of
that
nature,
so
I
think
working
with
John
it
would
I
would
be
ready
for
this
upcoming
Monday's
agenda
meeting
or
in
two
weeks
after
that,
I.
Don't
think
you
need
to
Workshop
it
again,
given
the
simple
nature
of
it
in
terms
of
its
review.
A
Okay,
all
right,
so,
let's
proceed
that
way
and
whenever
you
all
are
ready,
just
bring
it
forward
and
I
think
we'll
just
do
as
soon
as
we
introduce
it.
We'll
just
do
a
referral
all
right,
understood:
okay,
everyone,
good
yeah,
Highland
place,
there's
a
utility
easement.
We
need
to
accept
apparently
right
Nick.
Will
you
tell
us
about
that?.
C
I
will
yes,
so
this
is
with
respect
to
a
subdivision
that
the
training
board
has
approved
and
the
apple
is
now
working
through
the
conditions.
One
of
the
conditions
that
game
board
identified
and
please
let
me
know
if
you
can't
hear
me
I-
understand
I'm
using
a
computer
where
the
audio
is
not
as
good
as
when
I'm
calling
from
my
phone.
D
C
E
H
K
E
K
A
I
A
I
I
I
I
I
do
so:
we've
had
a
position
open
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
of
senior
Wastewater
mechanic
and
we
had
posted
that
job
internally.
We
we
didn't
have
any
candidates
who
would
take
it,
so
we
have
put
it
out
broadly
in
the
field
and
the
person
who
currently
operates
the
village
of
Reinbeck
water
Wastewater
system,
which
is
a
much
smaller
two-way
system,
is
interested
in
coming
here
to
work
on
our
4A
system.
I
The
reason
that's
attractive
is
because,
in
order
to
get
a
higher
license,
the
higher
the
number
in
Wastewater
the
better
the
license
in
order
to
get
a
4A
license,
applicants
would
have
to
work
in
a
4A
plant
under
supervision
of
somebody
with
a
4A
license.
So
this
is
a
really
good
opportunity
for
us
and
it's
a
good
opportunity
for
Brian.
E
I
And
had
a
lot
of
mechanical
talents
before
that
as
well,
so
we're
looking
for
somebody
he's
both
a
2A
operator
and
a
mechanic
which
is
a
nice
combination
of
where
we're
trying
to
go
with
our
new
hires.
We
used
to
really
have
a
rigid
line
between
a
wastewater
operator
and
a
mechanic,
and
in
this
case
we
have
somebody
who's
going
to
be
essentially
the
head
mechanic
who
also
operates
the
plan.
It.
G
I
No
that's
in
a
different
department,
the
water,
the
water
meters,
are
part
of
the
drinking
water
system.
Those
are
rolling
out
sometime
in
the
next
months,
we've
been
acquiring
the
inventory
necessary
to
do
the
job
we
have
maybe
500
meters
in
and
when
we
get
to
a
thousand
we'll
start.
The
first
round
of
meter
mxu
replacements,
yeah.
A
F
Yes,
thank
you.
So
some
of
the
council
members
had
asked
that
we
refer
this
item
over
to
the
traffic
and
safety
planning
committee
at
their
last
meeting.
They
did
take
a
look
at
this
proposal.
Nope
pull
up
an
image
here
to
go
along
with
it
and
they
came
away
with
a
couple
of
findings
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
tonight.
It's
all
put
in
writing
in
the
memorandum
as
well,
but
just
for
the
record
they
are
generally
in
favor
of
this
proposed
law.
I
Question
not
yet
we're
we're
lining
that
up
right
now,
you'll
see
signs
that
have
been
installed
and
they're
covered,
because
we
were
assuming
we're
going
to
move
in
this
direction.
We're
going
to
be
starting
the
the
firehouse
project
next
week.
So
before
we
close
off
the
lot
to
begin
drilling,
geothermal
Wells,
we
needed
to
have
replacement
parking
to
offer
the
church
so
we'll
be
all
the
most
of
the
signs
are
up.
All
of
them
will
be
up
by
the
time
you
vote
on
it.
I
We
haven't
you
asked
for
Outreach
to
South
Avenue,
school
and
I.
Did
that
and
they
appreciated
us
talking
talking
with
them
and
they
had
no
concern
and
again
I.
Think
you're,
going
to
the
the
concern
you're
going
to
hear
is
about
noise
because
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
rock
removal
on
the
North
part
of
that
you
know
again:
I
I
know
it's
going
to
be
a
bit
of
an
inconvenience,
but
we'll
try
to
get
through
it
as
quickly
as
possible.
E
Yeah
one
thing
too
that
I
brought
up
in
the
parking
Traffic
Safety
Committee
meetings
just
to
sit
here
too,
is
especially
if
they're
going
to
be
fewer
spots
along
South
Avenue
because
of
it
narrowing
at
some
points.
If
there's
any
consideration
to
also
striping
stalls
along
the
north
side
of
Beacon
Street
that
goes
sort
of
around
the
church
property
before
you
get,
however,
far
down,
it
can
go
towards
90
before
you
get
to
the
parking
lot.
I'm,
not
sure
what
access
is
going
to
be
needed
for
large
vehicles,
but
we
didn't
think
the
South.
E
I
E
I
E
Yeah
yeah.
It
was
also
interesting
to
hear
from
the
applicant
for
six
Commerce
that
sounds
like
they're
gonna,
maybe
because
they've
paved
behind
their
other
property.
To
actually
have
that
parking
lot
be
you
can
pull
all
the
way
through
and
exit
onto
Commerce
is
what
I
was
understanding
from
what
he
was
saying,
so
that
could
also
help
alleviate
some
of
the
the
issues
that
we
might
or
concerns
that
we
had
about
people
backing
up
onto
back
onto
South.
That's
a
one-way
street.
So.
A
C
I
am
there
so
good
evening
again
in
your
packet,
where
three
items
pertaining
to
this
topic-
the
conservation
advisory
committee
memorandum
regarding
leaf
blower
regulations,
which
have
been
updated-
the
barstorms
memo
from
March
15
2023-
which
in
essence
was
a
decision
tree
that
was
Rewritten
to
reflect
the
decisions
discussed
during
a
prior
meeting
and
then
your
request
included
was
a
draft
local
law
to
establish
seasonal
limitations
for
leaf
blowers.
So
these
are
the
materials
you
would
request.
C
I
think
you
want
to
have
some
policy
discussions
about
the
scope
and
the
intent
and
I
think
the
need
for
this
law.
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
you
may
have
on
the
draft
local
law,
but
I
think
the
discussion
Point
here
is:
how
do
you
want
to
proceed?
I
think
noted
at
a
prior
meeting,
given
that
we're
in
the
season
we're
in
you're
not
going
to
adopt
this
immediately.
It's
not
an
immediate
concern,
but
it's
something
that
you
wanted
to
revisit
so
I'm,
guided
going
to
be
guided
by
your
discussion.
D
Yeah,
if
I
may
so
I
I
suggested
originally
that
we
take
up
this
issue
and
to
some
extent
my
colleagues
have
seen
this
as
something
that
I'm
advocating
for,
because
when
I
was
out,
you
guys
postponed
the
conversation
and
waited
for
me
and
I.
Appreciate
that
but
I
have
you
know.
I
I
really
strongly
believe
that
that
leaf,
blower
leaf
blowers
are
in
fact
a
public
health
risk
and
that
need
to
be
addressed
at
the
same
time.
G
There
were
a
lot
of
suggestions
in
it
alongside
the
policy
itself,
around
information
sharing
around
utilizing
buyback
programs,
which
is
not
something
that
I
think
the
city
itself
should
fund,
but
I
think
would
be
an
important
complement
to
rolling
out
a
policy
like
this,
but,
of
course,
like
most
Industries.
It's
something
that
the
landscapers
themselves
are
doing.
What
somebody
has
asked
them
to
do
specifically
and
so
I
think
it
putting
the
onus
more
on
property
owners
to
consider
alternate
landscaping
and
less
on
the
people
operating
the
leaf
blowers
themselves
could
be
a
more
winning
Direction.
E
Maybe
this
isn't
a
thing
to
know
tonight,
but
when
it
comes
to
putting
education
towards
that,
if
there's
any
amount
of
of
funding
and
or
staff
capacity,
that
would
go
into
some
of
the
suggestions
that
the
CAC
made
around
education,
and
should
we
consider
that
when
we
consider
the
budget
for
next
year?
Is
that
something
that
there
is
room
for?
We
want
to
try
to
make
room
for
I
also
saw
and
I
have
no
idea
where
it
is
that
there
is.
Maybe
it's
been
going
for
a
while.
E
C
G
J
I
agree
with
you
Dan
that
I
think
the
education
regarding
gardening
in
general
is
apt,
and
you
know
I
had
reservations
about
identifying
leaf
blowers
as
the
only
problem
I
think
it's
ultimately
you
know
a
weed.
Whacker
is
pretty
damn
loud
as
well,
electric
or
gas,
but
so
I
think
education.
You
know
in
terms
of
limiting
all
the
use
of
all
this
equipment
would
be
more
appropriate
and
I
would
hope
that
the
CAC
could
help
us
draft
some
sort
of
pamphlet
or
something
that
we
could
include
on
the
website.
D
A
A
I
I
I
like
that,
because
the
hard
part
in
this
area
was
there
were
just
a
lot
of
kind
of
compromises
to
kind
of
get
around
stuff,
and
you
know
we
had
hours
limitations
and
timing
and
exemptions.
But
then
the
city
was
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
and
then
Parcels
over
an
acre,
yeah
I
prefer
that
approach
and
it
actually
may
get
at
the
problem
in
a
better
way
in
the
longer
run
right
because
I
mean
I
think
there
are
things
that
will
change
over
time.
So.
D
D
G
I
think
it's
definitely
focused
on
the
on
the
sort
of
positive,
Alternatives
and
sort
of
the
possibilities
of
alternative
quote-unquote,
alternative
land
or
lawn
management
and
I
know
that
we,
we
talked
through
the
reasons
why
the
city
itself
couldn't
be
a
leader
in
terms
of
stopping
the
use
of
leaf
blowers.
However,
I'm
curious,
if
they're
on
the
flip
side
and
Chris
I,
feel
like
in
many
ways
you're
already
doing
this.
G
The
city
could
be
a
leader
in
those
alternative,
Land
Management
practices,
I
mean
I,
know
that
you're
already
planting
trees.
We
have
a
pollinator
pathway
in
front
of
the
Waste
Management
Center.
There
are
I
think
ways
in
which
we're
already
moving
in
this
direction.
But
if
we
can
be,
you
know,
thinking
about
or
looking
critically
at
our
own,
like
lawn
practices.
I
I
I
Yeah,
well,
we
have
sheep
coming
to
the
solar
field
to
try
to
pilot
whether
or
not
we
can
do
non-motorized.
We
don't
do
the
management
of
that
BQ,
energy
or
solar
Beacon
is
responsible
for
the
maintenance
and
owns
the
the
solar
panels
there.
They
approached
us
about
a
a
pilot
to
allow
sheep
to
manage
the
vegetation
there,
so
we
actually
have
done
they
did
a
contract
which
gives
us
the
absolute
right
to
cancel
the
program.
I
I
So
yeah
we
are
we're
trying
to
be
Innovative,
and
you
know
we've
even
looked
at.
Do
we
really
need
to
mow
the
lawn
every
week
and
I've
raised
that
question
for
certain
Fields?
The
answer
is
definitely
yes.
The
ball
fields
really
require
that
hidden
Brook,
probably
not
so
we
we
will
try
to
keep
moving
in
that
direction.
I
D
They
may
have
done
the
same
thing
with
hidden
Brook
this
year.
I
was
driving
by
and
it
looked
like
they
mowed
only
a
part
of
it.
Yeah.
One
thing
to
note,
though,
is
when
they
didn't
mow.
Last
year,
a
very
aggressive
invasive
species
thrived
in
that
Garden.
What
is
it?
Barbarian,
I,
don't
know
my
wife
was
over
there
and
she
said:
oh
yeah.
No,
you
guys
got
to
mow
that
because
there's.
E
G
A
K
A
I
I
The
next
step
in
that
was
for
us
to
take
your
feedback
and
and
make
changes
so
you'll
recall.
You
asked
for
the
sidewalk
funding
to
be
extended,
not
just
for
2024,
but
for
the
four
subsequent
years.
We
did
add
that
what
Susan
has
come
with
tonight
and
is
in
your
package
is
a
financing
plan
to
show
where,
where
this
money
would
come
from
and
again
to
remind
people
that
didn't
see
the
earlier
presentation,
it's
we're.
L
So,
as
Chris
mentioned,
we
did
add
the
sidewalks,
the
500
000
to
each
year
in
the
five-year
Capital
plan.
That
was
the
only
change
that
was
requested,
so
the
draft
Capital
program
from
2024
to
2028
stays
the
same.
Besides
that,
with
the
financing
plan,
we
are
proposing
to
use
of
the
5.6
million
that
we
need
from
the
the
general
fund
we're
going
to
use
a
4.8
million
from
general
fund
fund
balance.
L
L
So
we're
looking
for
800
000
in
Grants
and
proposing
to
use
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
recreation
trust
fund
to
cover
Parks
items
in
the
water
fund.
We
there's
only
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
expenses
proposed
we're
going
to
use
fund
balance
to
cover
that
in
the
water
fund
of
the
1.9
million
in
sewer
fund
that
we're
proposing
to
spend
one
hundred
thousand
would
be
coming
from
fund
balance
and
1.8
million
would
be.
L
This
would
take.
We
have
a
unreserved
fund
general
fund
balance
of
11.8
billion,
and
this
would
bring
it
down
to
a
little
over
6
million
and
that
would
still
keep
us
within
the
range
with
Moody's
of
maintaining
a
fund
balance
that
they
like
to
see.
So
we
won't
lose
our
our
bond
rating
also
each
year,
I
try
to
add
a
little
bit
to
fund
balance
by
not
spending
our
full
expenses,
and
we
have
some
one-time
revenues
like
last
year.
It
was
mortgage
tax.
We
went
significantly
over
with
sale,
a
property.
L
I
And
then
you
had
also
asked
us
for
the
list
of
milling
and
Paving,
which
are
now
included
in
capital
program
in
your
packet.
You
have
the
proposed
2023,
milling
and
Paving
list.
That's
conservative,
because
we
might
still
add
one
or
two
additional
streets,
but
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
much
we're
going
to
need
to
spend
on
the
Ada
curb
ramps.
When
we
use
this
dot
funding
through
chips,
one
of
the
requirements
is
any
of
the
curbs
adjoining.
Those
roadways
have
to
be
upgraded
to
Ada
standards.
I
I
I
J
I
E
I
Is
that
correct?
At
this
time
there
you
do
have
a
plan
from
the
county
from
some
years
ago
about
putting
an
additional
sidewalk
on
the
North
side.
At
some
point,
we
could
go
back
and
look
at
that.
It's
it's
just
it
that
that's
a
huge
huge
project.
What
we
will
be
doing
is
putting
a
ramp
where
the
one
crosswalk
that
goes
down
to
the
station
doesn't
doesn't
have
a
curb
yeah.
I
Also,
removing
the
parking
spots
around
that
so
that
pedestrians
are
visible.
We
we
have
been
in
touch
with
Metro
North.
When
we
do
Beekman
Street,
they
will
be
responsible
for
repainting
the
parking
areas
we
will
take
care
of
the
crosswalk
and
we'll
make
sure
that
that
crosswalk
is
no
longer
parked
upon
that's
great.
E
Similarly
and
I
don't
know
how
much
of
this
responsibility
of
the
developments
that
are
going
in
because
part
of
it
was
talked
about
them,
but
the
intersection
of
West
Main
and
Beekman
too,
to
make
that
crosswalk.
If
there's
re-striping,
that
can
be
done
to
meet
it.
You
know
to
be
like,
like
our
Main
Street
crosswalks,
to
be
the
more
visible
kind
that
don't
wear
out.
That
would
be
great
yeah.
B
E
D
Just
a
question
about
on
Beekman:
could
we
paint
a
bike
lane
on
Beekman?
It
seems
wide
enough,
at
least
was
that
north
of
the
station
entrance
I
know
going
south
and
going
as
I
said.
Yeah
South
around
DIA
is
a
little
tight
and
dangerous,
but
perhaps
a
bike
lane
if
it
would
fit,
are
we
allowed
to
paint
it
or
does
it
have
to
be
approved
by
the
state
or
what
are
the
guidelines
around
adding
a
bike
lane.
I
We
we
could
paint
it
and
it
was
actually
there
was
one
bike
lane
that
was
proposed
as
part
of
the
county
study,
which
was
done
in
27
or
2018.,
and
what
they
suggested
was
a
bike
lane
on
the
south
side
of
Beekman
going
uphill
and
the
the
the
thought
process
that
the
County
Planning
Department
told
me
was
that
it's
you
know
you're
going
at
a
slower,
Pace
up
uphill
you're,
probably
less
stable.
That's
where
you
would
want
a
dedicated
bike
lane
on
the
other
side.
I
I
We
we
can
repave
it
and
kind
of
put
back.
What's
there
with
a
few
modest
improvements
or
we
could
hold
off
and
then
do
a
better
planning
process
to
look
at
the
bike.
Lanes
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable
doing
the
bike
Lanes
without
having
a
traffic
engineer,
go
back
and
really
nail
it
down,
so
that
I
don't
put
a
bike
lane
in
a
way
that
then
somebody
says:
well,
you
put
a
bike
lane
here
in
it
and
it
caused
a
conflict
with
a
vehicle
at
this
location.
So.
D
I
K
D
K
I
E
E
To
hold
fire
on
yeah,
the
one
thing
is
that
that
crosswalk
with
the
parking
space
in
it,
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
do
something
with
that
this
year,
just
to
make
it
a
little
less
hazardous
and
dangerous
for
all
the
people
who
walk
up
like
that.
We
want
to
cross
from
Ferry
street,
but
but
yeah,
but
I'm
I'm
not
familiar
I,
don't
drive
along
Beekman
that
often
so
I
know
Dan
and
others
on.
The
council
commute
more
so
I
I
feel
like
and
I
walk
down
there.
So
I'm.
D
I
E
I
He
proposed
it
because
I
identified
that
it
was
one
of
the
gateways
that
people
come
to
the
city,
you
you
come
and
you
walk
up
and
the
the
pavement
quality
isn't
great.
We've
made
some
improvements
down
there.
You
see,
we
repainted
the
Fishkill
Landing
sign
I
had
them
take
down
a
bunch
of
dead
trees
on
red
Flynn
drive,
we
planted
a
whole
bunch
of
new
trees.
I
I
had
to
move
it
hydrant
out
of
the
smack
in
the
middle
of
the
of
the
sidewalk
I,
don't
know
how
they
get
in
the
middle
of
the
sidewalk
and
I
just
thought
that
was
that
absent
doing
a
full
rebuild
that
that
was
kind
of
a
logical
next
step
in
fixing
up
but
I'm.
Also
not
you
know
we
we
can
retool
that
and
then
do
a
bunch
of
other
other
streets
and
I.
Don't
think
it
precludes
us
from
going
back
and
fixing
that
sidewalk
that
that
crosswalk,
that
we've
highlighted,
is
an
issue.
E
Yeah
yeah
I
think
yeah.
My
instinct
right
now
is
it's
probably
better
to
do
it
when
we
can
do
more
comprehensive,
look
at
it,
there's
more
bandwidth
but
as
I
say,
I,
don't
aside
from
representing
it
and
knowing
that
there's
stuff
coming
online.
That
would
affect
the
west
main
part
of
that
Beekman
I'm
curious
to
hear
if
others
have
any
strong
thoughts,
either
way
or
just
thoughts.
Even
if
they're
not
strong
yeah.
A
I
D
D
I
Different
cars,
so
we
don't
have
the
the
ones
that
are
all
electric
are
used
by
detectives
and
they're,
not
marked
cars
and
they're
used
in
a
very
different
manner
than
the
patrol
cars.
The
only
the
only
currently
available
package
police
package
for
us
is
the
Ford
Interceptor,
which
is
made
in
a
hybrid
so
when
they
come
up
with
an
electric
version
of
that,
that's
something
we
would
readily
adopt
so.
I
Yeah,
it's
it's
just
not,
and
and
even
when
we
buy
these
cars,
there's
a
cost
from
nycomco
to
upgrade
them
with
the
certain
lights.
Sometimes
we
need
to
put
a
cage
in
the
back
again
for
for
the
detective
cars
they
don't
get
the
the
wear
and
tear
of
the
patrol
Vehicles.
So
anything,
that's
not
a
patrol
vehicle.
We
look
at
all
electric
and
the
cost.
The
cost
has
gone
up
on.
All
of
these.
A
new
cars
have
skyrocketed,
so
we're
going
to
be
slow
to
replace
cars.

I
have
probably
not
a
question
for
you
more
for
Chris,
but
I'm
thinking
of
the
future
of
May's,
Hook
and
Ladder,
once
it's
no
longer
needed
to
house
all
the
equipment
and
firefighters
that
it
is
right
now.
Is
there
any
expectation
that
that
they'll
be
we
have
to?
We
should
be
planning
to
make
a
decision
on
the
future
of
that
in
fy24
that
we
should
be
talking
about
that
as
part
of
our
Capital
planning
for
2024.
That's
really
not,
and
if
we
did
anything
with
it,
it
wouldn't
be
until
the
following.
I
Optimistically
we
wouldn't
decommission
the
building
until
October
of
2024.
okay
like,
and,
to
give
you
some
perspective,
we're
we
decommissioned
Beacon
engine
back
in
December
of
2021
and
I'm
still
negotiating
how
to
settle
that
and
hope
hoping
to
bring
you
something
soon
on
that,
okay,
okay,
great
we've
we
have
looked
at
I
I,
would
want
to
look
at
May's,
Hook
and
Ladder
as
a
potential
option
for
a
city
hall
relocation.
Our
city
offices
are
very
cramped
here.
I
E

K
I
A
I
Our
our
next
step
is
to
set
the
public
hearing
at
next
week's
meeting,
so
the
at
the
meeting
on
the
12th
you'll
be
setting
a
public
hearing
for
the
26th.
After
that
public
hearing
the
following
meeting,
you
are
able
to
adopt
it
and
we
just
need
to
adopt
it
by
the
end
of
July.
So
we
still
have
a
good
time.
