Who
will
continue
to
read
the
benefits
of
such
a
proud
legacy
of
selfless
service.
Whereas
staff
sergeant
brian
m
fazen,
a
native
resident
of
the
city
of
beacon,
did
make
the
ultimate
sacrifice
on
june
17
2022
during
his
army
service
overseas.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
ailee
kiriakou,
mayor
of
the
city
of
beacon,
do
hereby
proclaim
saturday
july
16th
2022
as
staff
sergeant
brian
m
fazenday.
A
E
A
A
C
B
A
C
A
L
L
A
So
for
the
audience
we've
got
a
few
items
in
the
summer.
We're
trying
this
out
to
run
workshops
at
the
same
time
as
council
meetings,
so
we're
going
to
pick
up
a
few
items
in
a
workshop
and
then
come
back
to
the
formal
council
meeting.
Once
we
finish
the
items
in
the
workshop,
the
we
will
come
back
to
public
comment
and
then
reports,
and
then
we've
got
three
laws
and
resolutions
and
an
approval
of
minutes.
Okay.
A
C
We
put
out
a
bid
and
received
seven
responses,
which
is
a
really
good
response
this
time
of
year
and
the
low
bidder
was
precise
enterprises,
two
ltd
from
wall
hill,
new
york,
with
a
price
of
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
eight
dollars,
they
were
off
by
36
cents,
so
I'll
note
it
at
88
cents.
So,
despite
that
minor
discrepancy
in
their
math,
they
are
the
low
bidder
and
our
city
engineer
has
reviewed
the
bid
and
recommended
the
award
of
this
project
to
them.
C
The
project
the
engineer's
estimate
was
185,
so
we
were
just
over
slightly,
which
is
is
great.
Considering
the
volatility
of
commodities
and
labor
these
days.
This
project
would
move
forward
starting
in
late
august
or
september.
If
we
award
this
tonight
and
and
the
funding
for
this
is
coming
from
the
county's
community
development
block
grant
funding
that
the
city
receives.
M
C
K
C
K
B
C
K
I
had
a
question
about
this
contract
and
the
next
one
and
looking
at
them,
they
seem
like.
There
wasn't
a
lot
of
detail
in
the
contract
itself,
like
even
the
space
where
you
put
in
the
contractor
information,
and
I
didn't
know
it's
possible
that
I
have
missed
in
previous
contracts-
that
that's
how
we
do
these
things
or
if
that
was
just
because
of
the
timing
of
when
the
bids
went
out
and
when
we
had
this
meeting
that
that
information
would
be
would
be
filled
out.
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask
that
to
see.
J
F
J
J
Requirements
on
that
layout,
the
specifications
for
the
project
to
layout
the
performance
bond
requirements,
so
there
are
all
those
other
requirements
that
are
in
the
hundreds
of
pages
that
go
into
the
bid
document
that
are
prepared
by
john
russo's
office.
So
this
is
just
the
agreement
that
gets
signed,
but
they've
also
submitted
you
know
and
are
required
to
fulfill
all
the
other
requirements
in
the
bid.
K
Thank
you.
My
last
question
is,
I
didn't,
go
and
physically
look,
but
are
there
any
trees
that
are
within
those
sidewalks
right
now?
I
know
that's
the
case
on
the
west
side,
I
can't
think
of
the
east
side
and
just
want
to
confirm
if
anything
will
be
done
differently
or
if
any
new
sidewalk
will
just
go
around
the
existing
trees.
C
C
C
C
Yes,
so
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
two
projects
involving
fishgail
avenue.
One
is
a
major
roadway
project
that
we
hope
to
launch
next
year
to
redo
all
of
teller,
avenue
and
fishkill
avenue,
including
new
sidewalks
on
both
sides
of
the
street,
all
the
way
from
walcott
to
the
town
of
fishkill
boundary.
C
Part
of
that
is
in
anticipation
of
that
we're
trying
to
replace
the
sewer
along
fishkill
avenue
and
through
hannah
lane.
So
we
put
this
out
to
bid
again.
We
had
a
robust
response
of
eight
bid
proposals.
The
lowest
responsible
bidder
was
sunup
construction,
who
has
done
other
work
for
us
and
they
were
at
981
849.20.
C
C
I
Is
correct
so
so
that's
sort
of
answered,
but
I
still
am
just
curious
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
to
the
extent
that
you're
able
to
provide
detail
on
so
I
know
that
you
know
if
I'm
replacing
sewage
pipe
around
my
house,
it
could
be
several
thousand
dollars
and
it
could
be
tens
of
thousands
if
it's
a
bigger
section,
but
this
is
much
much
more
than
that.
Even
so.
I
C
So
these
are
sewer
mains
and
the
main.
The
main
sewer
feed
comes
down,
fishkill
avenue,
and
then
it
turns
it
handling
and
it
goes
down
to
main
street,
and
these
pipes
are
pretty
they're
not
so
far
below
the
surface,
and
we've
had
issues
with
them.
Not
having
enough
slope
to
clear
so,
like
all
of
all
of
our
sewage
is
mostly
gravity
fed
other
other
than
where
we
have
these
pump
stations
that
kind
of
force
it
through
and
even
there
you
want
to
have
a
better
slope.
C
So
what
we're
doing
by
replacing
these
is
taking
out
a
smaller
older
pipe,
and
I
don't
remember
the
the
width
and
putting
in
a
larger
pipe
and
then
also
trying
to
configure
it
so
that
we
get
a
better
slope
for
the
sewage
to
flow,
and
we
worked
with
italics
condominium,
which
was
very
helpful
in
assisting
us
with
a
new
sewer
easement.
We
did
have
a
sewer
easement,
but
we
actually
had
to
move
it
away
from
the
water
line
when
these
were
originally
done.
Those
lines
were
much
closer
together.
C
C
Several
hundred
yards
of
fishkill
avenue
and
they'll
take
out
in
one
case,
they'll
take
out
the
old
pipe
and
fish
skill
will
leave
the
old
pipe
at
hannah
and
put
in
the
new
pipe
with
again
you
put
a
lot
of
gravel
around
it
and
and
then
build
up
a
sub
base
and
then
we'll
be
repaving
all
of
hannah
lane
to
kind
of
make
amends
for
the
mess
that
we
make
on
hana
lane,
which
is
privately
owned
and
similarly
we'll
we'll
patch
over
fishgail
avenue.
But
we
won't
do
that.
I
C
I
I
C
C
Actually
that's
just
the
advertisement
for
bid,
so
we
we'd
have
to
get
it
from
john
russo.
But
typically
these
bids
have
you
know
all
of
the
specifications
for
what
you're
doing
and
then
they
have
a
list
of
items
so
that
they
bid
by
item.
So
you
know
a
36
inch.
Diameter
pipe
will
be
x,
amount
per
linear
foot
and
then
repaving
is
x,
amount
per
square
foot,
so
they
have
different
items
and
then
they
they
bid
on
all
of
those.
F
C
I
C
What
you
approved
in
the
2023
to
2027
capital
program
was
the
unfunded
portion
of
fishgail
avenue,
teller,
avenue,
roadway
work,
so
they're
separate
the
underground
utilities
are
being
paid
for
in
part
by
cdbg
money
again,
so
we
got
money
in
2021
that
we're
allocating
towards
that
the
rest
of
it,
the
city's
bonding
and
then
the
fishgail
avenue
teller
avenue
project
is
80,
federally
reimbursed,
15
state
and
5
percent.
Local
and
again
we
think
we
have
the
5
local
covered
by
another
funding
pot.
C
C
I'll
jump
in
okay
great
so
when
we
repave
streets
using
chips,
funding
which
is
a
state
dedicated
fund
for
repaving
part
of
the
requirement
of
that
is
all
of
the
curb
ramps
in
the
work
in
the
project
area
have
to
conform
to
ada
standards.
So
you
have
an
ada
ramp
with
a
morning
detected
detection
strip.
You
see
those
like
kind
of
hard
plastic
strips,
and
then
they
do
the
wings
of
this.
Of
of
the
curbs
as
well.
C
We
put
this
out
to
bid.
We
thought
we
had
a
project.
According
to
our
engineer
that
should
have
been
in
the
forty
five
thousand
dollar
range.
We
only
received
one
bid,
and
that
was
for
ninety
two
thousand
and
we
think
people
are
kind
of
busy,
and
this
wasn't
a
big
enough
project
and
we
might
not
have
put
the
word
out
widely
enough.
C
So
our
recommendation
from
the
engineer
is
to
reject
the
bid
and
go
back
out
to
bid
and
then
really
beat
the
bushes
to
say:
hey
come
on
here's
a
project
in
beacon,
because
it's
ironic
that
you
got
eight
or
nine
on
those
larger
projects
and
they're
already
going
to
be
mobilized
for,
like
the
sidewalks.
There's,
no
reason
that
someone
shouldn't
jump
on
this.
B
J
All
yeah
bids,
so
once
you
have
put
a
you
used
to
notice
the
bid
out
there,
you
open
them.
If
you're
not
going
to
award
any
of
the
bids,
you
need
to
formally
reject
them
all.
So
that's
what
this
resolution
does,
and
it
also
simultaneously
authorizes
the
city
to
rebid
so
you're
rejecting
the
bid,
because
if
you
know
you
only
got
one.
B
C
C
A
H
H
I
forget-
I
don't
have
the
numbers
with
me
right
now,
but
the
noise
is
what
I've
gotten
a
complaint
about
the
most.
But
I
think
it
goes
without
saying
that
they're
contributors
to
local
pollution
and
climate
change
being
small,
gasoline
engines
and
yeah,
and
so
I
asked
if
we
could
put
this
on
the
agenda
and
drew
or
nick
put
together
a
presentation
of
what
our
options
are.
J
B
J
They
are
independent
if
they're
used
between
daytime
hours
in
the
city
of
beacon
hours
are
from
7
00
am
to
9
9
pm,
which
is
pretty
standard
actually
for
other
justice.
Township
municipalities,
except
we
noted
that
the
town
of
fish
hill
went
and
restricted
the
hours
of
operation.
That's
actually
the
only.
J
So
that's
something
to
consider
seventh
mag
is
pretty
broad,
but
again,
there's
there's
other
options
and
other
things
that
municipalities
have
been
doing
with
respect
to
league
bloggers
that
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
city
council
was
aware
of
kind
of
what's
going
on
around
to
be
a
beacon,
and
then
you
know
put
that
forward.
You
can
contemplate
your
your
options,
so
you
know
one
of
the
things
besides
just
restrict
further
restricting
your
noise,
so
daytime
hours
are
currently
when
it's
at
seven
to
nine.
J
J
That
is
something
more
more
popular,
especially
in
westchester
county
communities,
and
there
are
some
municipalities
that
have
gone
even
further
than
that
to
completely
ban
gasoline
power
leaf
lowers
the
focus
is
on
gasoline
powered
leaf
blowers
because
they
tend
to
be
louder
and
they
tend
to
pick
up
more
dust
and
cause
more
public
health
concerns
compared
to
electrically
slower.
But
it
really
does.
The
focus
really
is
about
dust
control
and
noise.
B
J
H
So
drew
I
noticed
that
the
the
communities
that
have
have
prohibited
leaf
blowers
prohibited
exclusively
gas-powered
leaf
blowers,
and
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
experience
with
leaf
blowers,
but
are
the
electric
leaf
blowers?
I
assume
get
out
your
sears
catalog.
Does
it
make
the
same
amount
of
noise
as
a
gas
powered
leaf?
Blower
do
we
know.
J
I
J
B
A
B
B
M
H
M
B
M
B
B
M
J
That
way,
you
have
all
the
facts
and
you
can
kind
of
make
the
right
decision
for
the
community
a
suggestion
that
we
have
to
do
it.
I
just
that's
where
all
these
questions
have
come
up
in
other
places,
and
so
it
might
be
good
to
slow
down
and
get
a
group
together
to
figure
out
what
the
issues
are
and
come
up
with.
You
know
the
actual
decimal
numbers.
H
I
C
I
I
just
looked
it
up
quickly
and
a
gas
leaf.
Blower
is
80
to
90
decibels
and
they're,
saying
the
range
for
a
battery
pack,
one
is
65
to
70
and
an
electric
is
65
or
a
little
less.
So
again,
there's
three
types
and
we
actually
tried
the
battery
packed
and
the
superintendent
of
the
streets
used
it
on
main
street,
because
we
we
blow
the
streets
off,
we
blow
the
debris
into
main
street,
and
then
we
run
behind
with
the
street
sweeper
to
basically
vacuum
it
up.
C
B
B
H
I
agree
with
some
of
the
exceptions
that
would
need
to
be
made.
I,
whoever
owns
the
craig
house,
will
probably
want
to
use
leaf
floors
instead
of
rakes
but
they're
also
very
far
from
everybody,
and
I
think
the
city
should
have
some
flexibility
here
too
for
dealing
with
memorial
park
and
other
big
parks
too,
and
that's
probably
what
austin
was
getting
at
by
prohibiting
everything
on
a
half
on
a
half
acre
or
less
was
allowing
you
know,
people
who
have
to
do
a
lot
of
you
have
a
lot
of
leaves.
You
could
do
it.
H
J
Yeah
you'll
see-
and
I
think
the
chart
shows
that
there's
a
lot
of
diversity
to
these
laws
pertaining
to
leaf
blowers
and
that
diversity
really
does
come
out
with
the
public
hearings
of
what
what
are
the
needs
of
the
community,
and
you
might
not
even
realize
it
initially.
I
think
if
president,
though
one
that
we
became
they
became
aware
of,
was
the
artificial
turf,
the
turkeys
need
to
have
a
gasoline
powered
seat
blower
to
get
them
back
into
place
after
a
big
storm.
That
was
one
of
their
big
topics.
J
J
Is
the
city-
and
this
is
you
know,
we're
talking
about
exam
there's?
There
are
other
options
such
as
controlling
the
hours,
because,
right
now
it
is
unrestricted
between
the
hours
of
seven
and
nine,
so
you
could
also
just
consider
reducing
that
restriction.
That
is
that's
what
the
direction
you
could
go
in.
B
I
H
I
was
going
to
add
that
breaking
isn't
even
a
good
idea,
because
it
it's
covering
grass
that's
already
dormant
and
when
it
when
it's
time
to
rake
it
up,
all
of
the
wildlife
is
everybody
that
was
underneath
the
leaves
laying
eggs
is
done
and
four
days
over
40
degrees.
You
can,
you
can
bring
the
leaves
up
or
you
can
leave
them.
H
A
I
would
suggest
we
check
with
the
county.
They
must
have
kind
of
dealt
with
something
like
this
before,
but
I'm
just
guessing.
I
I
don't
guess
it's
not
a
zoning
issue
per
se,
but
I'm
thinking
there's
some.
There
might
be
some
knowledge
there
or,
and
I
think
we
should
also
check
with
our
own
building
department,
because
you
know
the
experience
that
chris
mentions.
A
We
should
kind
of
make
sure
we
have
like
how
does
it
affect
us
and
can
we
do
it
like
you
can't
mulch
the
sidewalks
right
on
main
street
right?
I
like
the
idea
of
leaving
the
leaves
where
they
are
and
mulching
them
right,
and
I
love
I'd
love
to
understand
if
that's
a
uniformly
doable
proposition
everywhere
but
yeah.
I
think
we
just
need
some
more
research
here.
I
just
don't
know
who
the
right
party
is
to
get
the
research
done.
That's
all.
C
L
A
C
A
M
M
H
Yeah,
there's
like
a
if
there's
a
specific
application
for
these
things
with
milling
and
paving
or
any
other
kind
of
city
function
other
than
doing
an
entire
park
or
parking
lot.
Perhaps
that
could
be
a
carve
out
that
we
put
in
as
well.
You
know
if
there's
like
a
specific
task
for
a
specific
amount
of
time,
we
can
leave
it
to
the
discretion
of
the
city
administrator
to.
C
M
C
I
think
that,
from
a
practical
point
of
view,
once
these
offices
are
closed,
the
person
who's
going
to
respond
to
the
police,
because
it's
not
an
ongoing
activity.
It's
not
like
you
know,
mr
smith,
has-
is
building
a
garage
in
his
yard
and
they
can
catch
him
on
monday.
If
you
weren't
there
on
saturday
to
catch
him,
I
I
think
this
is
going
to
end
up
a
police
function.
If,
if
we
do
it
on
ours,
that
building
department
staff
aren't
there.
B
H
B
A
C
A
G
G
Are
we
as
a
city
and
residents
paying
attention
to
a
new
application
before
the
town
of
fishkill
planning
board?
They
are
considering
changing
the
zoning
district,
with
a
special
use
permit
to
allow
a
large
self-storage
facility
complex
at
a
location
that
we
all
know
as
a
historic
1800s
country
estate
up
by
the
route,
90
and
84
corridor.
G
If
we
think
the
traffic
is
horrendous,
now
at
this
location,
just
wait,
your
concerns
must
be
heard
at
the
town
of
fishkill
meeting
level.
Let's
not
forget.
We
saw
this
room
filled
recently
to
capacity
with
out-of-towners
for
our
own
local
agenda
items,
keep
a
watch
on
the
outskirts
of
our
city
limits,
because
it
does
impact
the
quality
of
our
life
and,
while
I'm
mentioning
quality
of
life,
I
would
like
to
see
this
council
address
the
mental
health
issue
and
the
lack
of
services
playing
out
on
our
city
streets.
G
A
F
Jennifer
backwoods
nine
falconry
street-
I
don't
know
if
you're
supposed
to
stay
in
it,
and
this
is
about
the
leaf
blowers.
Also,
as
was
mentioned
by
drew,
who
did
some
reese
research
larchmont
has
completely
banned
gas
powered,
and
this
is
really
just
about
the
gas
powered
blonde
leaf
blowers,
19
towns,
cities
and
villages
prohibit
certain
times
of
day
or
certain
times
of
the
year.
F
F
Particulates,
but
the
missions
are
really
a
big
deal
these
all
these
engines
are
two-stroke
engines
that
burn
gas
and
oil
and
a
lot
of
that
gas
gets
just
thrown
into
the
air
if
it's
if
it
was,
if
it's
not
burned
off
edmunds.
The
auto
information
company
has
like
said
that,
dr
that,
using
a
a
a
leaf
blower
for
half
an
hour
is
similar
to
driving
a
pickup
truck
from
texas
to
alaska.
F
F
The
decibel
level,
the
the
figures
I
got
were
7
70
to
100
decibels
for
the
gas
powered
and
that's
100
decibels
is
like
the
sound
of
a
jet
plane
taking
off,
and
so
it
does
a
lot
of
harm
that
and
that's
kind
of
also
because
of
the
low
sound
that
it
makes
you
can.
You
can
hear
you
can
hear
it
through
walls.
I
mean
it's
one
of
those.
Those
are
that
that
kind
of
sound
just
permeates
everything.
F
E
E
E
K
Sure
I
would
like
to
thank
the
fire
department,
both
professionals
and
volunteers,
who
helped
with
the
tragic
fire
at
mr
bell's
and
amy's
breeding
raids
on
main
street.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago
was,
you
know,
a
tragic
loss
for
them
and
I
hope
great,
to
see
all
the
people
who
came
out
to
support
them
and
have
contributed
to
various
ways.
K
I
wanted
to
amplify
something
that
is
on
our
beacon
website
right
now
that
new
york
project
hope
one
of
their
partners
is
aster
children
after
services
for
children
and
families,
and
so
there's
information
on
there
that
anyone
can
reach
out
for
free
mental
health
support
related
to
covid.
So
I'll
give
you
the
contact
information
for
the
person,
who's,
coordinating
it
megan
wright
and
you
can
reach
megan
at
845
at
204-523
or
if
you
prefer
email.
K
It's
m
right,
m-w-r-I-g-h-t
at
asterservices.org,
and
you
can
find
more
information
on
our
website
as
well
beaconny.gov
and
they
also
have
a
list
of
free
classes
and
just
meetings
and
meetups
that
you
can
join
over
zoom
and
you
don't
have
to
register
in
advance
and
you
can
show
up
and
those
are
also
free.
So
anyone
who
think
they
might
benefit
and
want
to
check
it
out.
It's
both
for
youth
and
for
families.
M
I
happen
to
know
the
person
that
we
lost.
He
was
a
young
man
who
did
something
that
he
shouldn't
have
been
doing.
He
was
fit.
He
was
a
wonderful
person
and
thought
he
would
live
forever
and
he
took
these
chances
that
I
hope
no
one
in
the
future
does
and
that
will
remember
to
keep
to
not
swim
in
that
reservoir,
because
it's
there
is
no
one
there
to
look
out
for
you
and
you
also
compromise
the
integrity
of
our
water
system.
M
So
please
take
that
into
consideration.
It's
it's
dangerous.
It
may
not
seem
so,
but
even
the
young
and
strong
can
suffer
that
you
know,
can
drown.
So
please
be
aware
of
that,
and
then
chris
I
was
wondering
too
I've
been
receiving
some
complaints
from
business
owners
on
main
street,
because
they've
noticed
a
few
food
wagons.
M
C
C
Justifiably
they're
the
ones
paying
taxes
and
then
somebody
comes
and
sets
up
shop
outside.
No
one
has
a
permit
to
do
that.
There's
only
one
licensed
food
truck
in
the
city
right
now
and
that's
at
the
waterfront,
and
that
was
done
through
an
open,
transparent,
competitive
process,
an
rfp
process
yeah.
M
H
Maybe
we
can
maybe
we
can
look
at
other
opportunities
for
for
for
the
food
trucks
like.
Maybe
the
parking
lot
at
the
mountain
could
be
a
place
where
we
allow
a
food
truck
because
there's
other
than
bob's
there's
some
you
know,
but
only
bob's
is
there
there's,
no
other,
there's
no
other
brick
and
mortar.
I
don't
know,
maybe
there's
some
other
locations
where
we
could.
C
M
L
I
And
I'll
forget
so
I'll
say:
my
office
hours
are
wednesdays.
My
email
address
is
on
the
website.
They
fill
up
about
a
week
in
advance,
so
email
me
if
you
can
and
we'll
make
an
appointment.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
superintendent,
monzy
and
the
highway
for
clearing
the
under
growth
or
overgrowth
on
the
sides
of
the
roads.
That
is
a
really
cool
machine.
C
I
Deaths
on
stone
street,
I
think
it
does.
I
mean
it's
still
a
tricky
intersection
there,
but
it
does
make
a
difference,
I
think,
probably
all
over
the
all
over
the
city,
but
that
that
place
is
really
on
my
radar
and
primaries
august
23rd.
So
please
educate
yourselves
on
the
candidates.
We
have
a
new
district.
I
B
I
I
So
also
during
our
week
off
I'll
put
that
in
quotes,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
around
and
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
proposals
that
have
been
put
before
the
council
and
they're
in
various
stages
of
development,
whether
it's
just
the
concept
designs
or
you
know,
neighbors
coming
in
and
talking
about
some
of
their
issues
and
I'll
just
say
it's
it's
interesting
to
me.
I
I
want
to
know
that
we're
doing
a
good
job
and
that
what
what
our
systems
are
in
place
are
working
or
not
working.
I
I
You
know
our
wetlands,
the
and
and
the
safety
of
pedestrians,
and
you
know
where
there
are
sidewalks
and
where
there
are
not
is
already
a
matter
of
concern.
The
condition
of
the
sidewalks
is
already
a
matter
of
concern
and
we're
putting
so
many
resources
into
working
on
that,
but
I
think
sometimes
our
vision
for
block
by
block
isn't
necessarily
in
in
step
with
what
that's
going
to
do
to
the
safety
of
the
streets.
So
I
just
couldn't
I'm
concerned
about
that,
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
everyone.
H
You
may
well
be
on
vacation
in
the
month
of
august,
so
please
go
to
the
board
of
elections
website
and
get
yourself
an
absentee
ballot.
If
you
plan
on
being
away
in
that
vein,
I
will
be.
I
will
not
be
having
office
hours
in
the
month
of
august,
because
I'll
be
traveling
with
my
family
and
I'll
be
out
of
the
office
for
the
last
few
weeks
of
august
and
will
be
unresponsive
to
email
for
a
while
in
case
you're.
H
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
this:
saturday
is
beacon's
annual
cookout,
which
will
start
at
10
a.m
and
go
late
on
saturday
and
they're
still
accepting
donations.
If
you
visit
their
the
facebook
page
for
beacon
annual
cookout,
there
are
so
there
is
still
a
need
for
donations
and
see
you
saturday.
C
Molly,
thank
you
for
thanking
the
fire
department
about
the
fire
on
main
street.
I
just
want
to
again
echo
how
effective
they
were
in
responding
to
that
they
were
on
on
the
call
within
one
minute,
and
then
our
our
police
joined
them
in
evacuating
all
of
the
residents
from
that.
So
the
fact
that
we
got
through
that
with
the
fire
knocked
down
quickly
very
limited
smoke
damage
because
they
brought
in
large
fans
to
blow
out
the
smoke
and
they
cleared
everybody
with
no
injuries
just
speaks
to
how
well
those
two
departments
responded.
C
C
C
So
as
of
tomorrow,
all
of
the
customers
in
beacon
that
were
part
of
this
program
are
going
to
be
shifted
back
from
columbia
utilities
with
their
green
power
at
a
fixed
rate
back
to
the
utility,
which
is
central,
hudson
gatson,
electric
at
a
variable
rate.
Fortunately,
that
variable
rate
is
currently
lower
than
the
fixed
rate.
So
people
aren't
going
to
see
a
bump
in
the
bill.
But
when
demand
goes
up
again
like
it
did
last
winter
you
they
are
going
to
see
it.
C
C
L
C
They
are
also
preparing
talking
points
that
will
be
distributed
to
all
of
you
and
put
on
our
website
so
that
when
you
get
calls
as
you
inevitably
will,
you
can
have
something
to
hand.
People
and
central,
hudson
and
jewel
will
be
rolling
out
letters,
so
we're
in
the
process
of
reviewing
the
draft
letter
from
joule
just
to
make
sure
it's
clear,
like
you
know
what
exactly
happened.
C
A
Are
we
ready
to
go
on
all
right?
There's
three
items
for
resolutions.
The
first
one
is
authorizing
the
city
administrator,
execute
agreement
with
precise
enterprises,
two
for
the
south
avenue
sidewalk
replacement.
That's
the
item
we
talked
about
during
workshop.
Can
I
get
a
motion
in
a
second
motion.
