Description
The City of Beacon Council Meeting from June 12, 2023
A
A
And
I
think
I
see
everyone
here.
If
you're
not
here,
speak
up
but
I
see
Full
House
and
serves
as
a
council.
The
mayor
is
also
here:
I
see
the
city
administrator
I
actually
see
the
City
attorney
in
person.
Welcome
Nick.
Is
there
anyone
online
from
from
the
city?
Nope?
Okay?
So
that's
our
roll
call.
We
got
everybody,
there's
a
quick
Community
segment.
So
there's
a
Fourth
of
July
event
that
we
traditionally
do
here
at
City,
Hall
and
Dennis
pavlock.
Will
you
just
come?
Tell
us
about
it.
D
D
D
D
Our
readers
this
year
is
John
Foreman
and
the
guy
sitting
right
next
to
you.
Chris
is
Dan
R
marbler
this
year
we
have
a.
We
went
back
to
the
list
this
year,
so
if
anybody
wishes
to
wants
to
read
this
document,
find
me
get
a
hold
of
me,
I'm
very
around
the
area.
Everybody
knows
who
I
am
I
want
to
say
they
used
to
know
him
more
than
they
do
now.
D
D
D
Now
let
me
say
this
as
well,
because
you
know
I
I
mentioned
it
last
year
and
I'm
going
to
say
it
again,
everything
that
we
do
Raffles
attractions
it's
coming
out
of
the
committee's
pocket.
We
don't
have
a
budget,
so
if
anybody
wants
to
ante
up
to
help
out
offset
our
costs,
it'd
be
great.
If
you
want
to
do
that,
help
out
and
and
be
a
part
of
you
know
be
a
part
of
it.
D
D
So
that's
it
for
here
what
we're
I'm,
hoping
to
I'm
hoping
to
have
a
larger
crowd
this
year
than
we've
had
the
last
two
years.
It's
going
to
be
on
the
front
page
of
the
big
and
Free
Press
on
June
21st
Edition.
So
we
took
the
picture
here
Saturday
morning.
So
it's
going
to
be
on
the
front
page
and
Chris
I'd
like
to
ask
you
the
mayor
and
whoever
else
is
in
charge.
D
If
I
can
get
the
the
police
signed
by
the
Memorial
Park,
if
you
can
get
that
to
put
on
there,
we
got
it
previously
years
and
we
had
two,
ladies
from
Iowa
back
in
2019
drive
by,
they
were
I
guess
in
the
area
visiting
family
and
they
stopped
in
and
they
said.
Oh,
this
is
a
great
thing
that
you
do
all
the
way
across
the
map.
We
got
two
people
from
Iowa
two,
ladies
from
Iowa.
D
At
our
event,
so
that's
the
farthest
right
now
that
people
have
come
to
this
event
for
this
event
to
come
in
and
visit
us
and
visit
beacon
in
Dutchess
County,
so
we're.
We
were
pleased
about
that.
The
lady
told
me
about
that
when
she
was
here,
so
that's
it.
If
anybody
wants
to
like
I
said
help
out,
monetarily
it'd
be
great.
Just
get
a
hold
of
me.
Call
me
text
me
and
go
from
there
and
then
hope
to
see
you
there,
everybody
there.
Thank
you.
A
I
was
going
to
remind
people
that
public
comments
available
is
the
first
opportunity
you
have
up
to
three
minutes
on
any
topic
except
a
public
hearing.
We
have
one
public
hearing
tonight,
which
is
on
a
one-way
Street
of
South
Avenue
for
a
temporary
basis.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
that,
public
hearing
just
hold
off
on
that,
I
will
ask
very
very
politely
that
people
on
that
particular
public
hearing
try
to
stick
to
the
topic
and
with
that
it's
wide
open
for
public
comment.
D
D
That
was
out
there
the
date,
so
people
can
know
what
day
it
was
and,
and
whatever
the
case
may
be,
with
the
rain
date
included
in
that,
and
also
I
wanted
to
say
that
the
city
is
making
resolutions
and
passing
laws
regarding
to
streets
and
and
avenues
here
in
the
city.
But
you
know
I
I
I
feel
that
the
residents
are
are
coming
in.
D
Second
on
that,
with
their
with
their
concerns
and
their
are
not
being
addressed
and
I'm
just
wondering
you
know,
you
know,
I
believe
that
and
I
feel
that
the
residents
are
being
second
with
that
and
they're
not
getting
what
they're
you
know
getting
what
they
have
complaints
and
they're
not
being
addressed,
but
once
again
the
city
is
passing
laws
for
streets
and
resolutions,
and
that's
what
I
wanted
to
just
bring
out.
Thank
you
all.
A
E
Taking
bus
Subway,
then
Metro
North,
the
cost
of
Metro
North
30
to
40
dollars
a
person
followed
by
the
cost
of
an
Uber
or
a
taxi
which
can
be
to
Greenhaven
prison,
for
example,
30
to
40
dollars.
One
way
we
have
made
that
trip
a
little
less
onerous
for
these
hundreds
of
people
visiting
their
loved
ones
and
incarcerated.
New
Yorkers
are
often
moved
from
one
prison
to
another.
E
With
no
regard
to
where
they
came
from
and
where
their
family
is
so,
not
only
are
we
serving
people
coming
from
New
York
City,
but
we've
also
served
people
coming
from
what
we
consider
a
prison
country
Upstate
having
to
make
the
trip
by
Amtrak
to
Metro
north
and
then
making
that
last
leg
of
the
journey
just
a
little
bit
easier.
This
has
proved
to
be
a
gratifying
experience
for
our
volunteers.
E
Riders
that
they
will
have
a
safe
and
a
safe
drive.
We
are
happy
to
pair
any
new
driver
with
one
of
our
seasoned
volunteers.
To
make
that
process
easier,
Beacon
prison
rides,
I'm.
Sorry,
prisonridesproject.org
is
our
website.
I
would
love
to
share
these
with
each
of
you
so
that
you
have
the
basic
information.
That's.
G
Good
evening
I
see
on
tonight's
agenda,
proclamations,
honoring,
all
sorts
of
flags,
and
yet
many
can't
honor
the
full
flag
in
full
the
flag.
That's
hanging
on
the
wall
that
helped
build
this
city.
The
silence
I
hear,
is
deafening
and
later
on,
the
agenda,
a
resolution
that
will
set
a
precedent
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
changing
the
Zoning
for
a
one-off
parcel
project.
G
Is
it
the
city's
responsibility
to
deal
with
the
developer,
investing
a
lot
of
money
into
a
residential
building
and
turning
it
into
a
business
venue,
even
though
they
haven't
taken
the
necessary
steps?
First,
is
this
not
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse?
Please
stop
allowing
variances
for
parking
requirements,
especially
in
light
of
the
firehouse
build
out
and
the
future
visitor
parking
needs.
We
don't
really
have
all
that
parking
that
you
say
we
do.
Our
community
has
been
watching
a
planned
venue
for
the
past
18
months,
bringing
countless
revisions
to
the
proposal
at
this
table.
G
Recently,
many
residents
saw
the
photo
taken
by
the
local
newspaper
posted
on
social
media
of
the
four
City
Beacon
mayor
sitting
around
the
mayor's
table,
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
the
previous
Mayors
did
not
Envision
the
landscape
of
our
community
becoming
unrecognizable
with
additional
build
outs.
If
you
look
back
at
the
past,
public
workshops
held
while
updating
every
draft
of
our
living
comprehensive
plan,
the
historic
preservation
and
the
cultural
Rich
fabric
of
our
city
was
always
front
and
center
to
honor,
Beacon's,
historic
district
and
overlay
zones.
G
A
A
H
I
A
J
Maybe
white,
while
Ben
is
pulling
that
up
for
to
show
the
what
I
can
explain
the
why
we
did
a
groundbreaking
for
the
firehouse
project
last
week,
we're
going
to
be
mobilizing
Construction
in
the
next
week
or
so,
and
we're
going
to
be
losing
parking
spaces
on
the
parking
lot
below.
So
the
idea
of
making
this
one
way
was
to
enable
us
to
add
25
parking
spaces
along
South
Street
to
serve
St,
Andrews,
Church
and
and
others
in
that
neighborhood
South,
Avenue,
I'm,
sorry,
South,
Avenue.
Yes,.
F
Yeah
I
wouldn't
add
much
to
what
Chris
said.
There's
a
visual
that
everyone
should
be
able
to
see
showing
the
portion
of
the
roadway
that
will
be
converted
as
just
between
Maine
and
Beacon
Street,
and
it
does
have
a
sunset
provision
in
the
law,
and
it
would
allow
for
parking
to
be
built
out
on
the
street
to
help
accommodate
for
the
municipal
lot
being
part
closed
down
during
construction.
G
F
D
A
B
A
F
C
I
I
B
B
I,
also
wanted
to
share
with
everybody
that
on
June
Wednesday
June
28th
at
7
pm,
we
will
be
hosting
at
the
rec
center,
an
event
called
how
do
I
Electrify,
and
what
this
is
is
an
event
in
which
we're
going
to
hear
from
from
a
few
Partners
experts
in
this
area,
who
are
going
to
tell
us
how
we
can
take
advantage.
The
public
can
take
advantage
of
state
and
federal
incentives
to
Electrify
the
appliances
in
their
homes
and
their
vehicles,
and
you
know,
as
I
say,
like
the.
B
We
took
a
very
important
step
earlier
this
year
by
capping
the
emissions
on
our
buildings
starting
January
1st,
but
that's
only
capping
and
so
for
us
to
draw
down
our
emissions.
We
now
need
to
for
those
of
us
or
have
the
ability
and
who
are
willing
to
start
replacing.
Our
fossil
fuel
burning
appliances
in
our
lives
and
one
of
the
ways
to
do
that
is
to
take
advantage
of
sometimes
for
for
many
people.
B
A
D
K
K
Then
oh,
it's
been
a
busy
time
in
Beacon,
so
I
just
wanted
to
also
thank
the
city
schools
for
hosting
an
incredible
calico
ball,
there's
an
awesome
tradition
and
it
lifts
up
the
Traditions
from
our
families
who
are
from
all
around
the
world,
so
that
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
superintendent
and
Brian
Archer
for
the
invitation
to
the
Calico
bomb.
It
was
inspiring
and
that's
it
for
me.
If
you
would
like
to
meet.
Please
email
me
at
w-l-o-n-g-n-o
at
beaconny.gov.
Thank.
H
You
thanks
Ren
I
was
out
of
town
this
weekend,
but
a
thank
you
to
all
of
the
amazing
community
events
that
went
on
this
past
weekend.
I
was
sorry
to
miss
them,
but,
looking
ahead
to
next
weekend,
I
will
Echo
what
Ren
said.
There's
some
really
exciting.
Pride
related
events
happening
starting
on
Thursday
through
Saturday.
H
You
can
follow
begin
lgbtq
on
Instagram
for
more
details
and
information
for
myself
diploma
for
Beacon.
For
that
and
same
information
and
also
I'm
sure
Justice
will
talk
more
about
this.
But
Monday
is
the
first
annual
Juneteenth
Riverfront
Park
celebration,
which
will
be
I'm
grateful
that
the
government
on
multiple
levels
has
recognized
this
as
a
national
holiday
and
that
Beacon
is
moving
forward
with
a
community
event
to
celebrate
it's
important
day
and
I
will
just
Echo
what
Lori
said
about
Beacon
prison
rights
program.
H
I,
know
personally
many
of
the
drivers
for
this
program
and
will
attest
that
it's
incredibly
fulfilling
form
of
service
for
some
people
who
are
just
trying
to
visit
their
loved
ones
that
are
in
really
difficult
circumstances.
So
if
you
have
the
time
and
a
safe
vehicle,
I
really
encourage
you
to
sign
up
and
to
serve
our
community.
In
this
way,
Beacon
is
a
prison
town.
It's
sometimes
easy
to
forget
that,
but
it's
important
that
we
not
neglect
or
forget
these
members
of
our
community
thanks.
C
Good
evening,
nothing
specific
to
report,
but
I,
read
recently
that
we,
the
City
of
Poughkeepsie
and
the
City
of
Beacon,
now
have
the
right
to
charge
a
hotel
tax
and
I
was
wondering
if
we're
going
to
consider
actually
implementing
that
tax.
I,
don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
I'd
like
to
at
least
talk
about
it.
But
it
was
legislation
that
was
passed
recently
in
Albany.
That.
A
L
H
C
Right
right,
yeah,
so
I
hope
we'll
act
on
that
when
we,
when
we're
able
to
and
I,
also
like
to
say
that
I've
heard
a
lot
of
people
asking
questions
about
Airbnb
and
what
their
rights
are
and
so
on
so
I
think.
The
program
that
we've
established
here
in
the
city,
cracking
down
on
illegal
ones,
is
really
having
an
effect
and
I
think
an
overall
positive
effect.
So,
thank
you.
That's
it.
I
I
Echo
everyone
and
talk
about
all
the
events
that
have
happened
this
past
weekend
and
are
coming
up
this
coming
weekend.
I'll
add
the
Poughkeepsie
Duchess
Pride
event
that
took
place
on
Saturday
up
in
Poughkeepsie,
and
just
the
theme
of
having
all
these
community
members
coming
out
and
supporting
that
I
was
able
to
attend
flag
day
as
well
as
stop
by
the
Strawberry
Festival
fitting
in
all
the
things
on
Sunday
as
well.
So
it
was
just
great
to
see
all
the
ways
that
we
support.
I
B
I
I
think
it's
great
I'm
sure
it
can't
hurt
and
hopefully
does
help
when
you
have
communities
who
say
to
our
legislatures
as
as
a
collective
as
leaders
in
our
community
that
yes,
we
support
this
as
well
and
for
those
of
you
listening.
If
you
have
any
concerns
about
the
Clean
Slate
Act,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
one
of
us
and
we
can
talk
more
about.
What's
actually
in
the
legislation,
it
changed
a
little
bit
from
what
was
initially
proposed
as
well.
I
So
if
you
have
any
concerns
or
questions
about
it,
we're
happy
to
dig
in
and
learn
more
alongside
you
and
lastly,
I'll
say
that
I
will
have
office
hours,
Sunday,
June
25th
from
3
to
5
p.m.
In
pole,
Hill
Park,
which
is
the
park
across
the
street,
from
where
we're
meeting
right
now
in
city
hall
or
in
Bank
square,
if
it's
too
rainy
to
meet
in
the
park
and
I'll
pass
it
to
Yuli.
A
I,
don't
have
too
much.
I
actually
had
an
opportunity,
myself
and
John
Gunn
to
walk
through
all
of
the
developments
that
have
happened
in
Beacon
and
asking
the
question
whether
it
was
done
consistent
to
the
comprehensive
plan
and
as
we
went
through
it,
we
realized
Not
only
was
every
everyone
was
either
no
more
dense
than
what
was
in
the
com,
but
a
note
of
them
were
actually
less
dense
than
was
originally
put
into
the
comprehensive
plan.
A
The
other
thing
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
do
and
someone
mentioned,
is
to
have
a
session
with
all
four
mayors
of
the
past
34
years,
so
that's
Claire,
Lou,
Gould,
Steve,
gold,
Randy
Casal
and
myself.
This
was
at
the
my
suggestion,
which
is
we
should
get
them
all
together,
as
opposed
to
just
talking
to
one
or
two.
It
was
actually
lovely
and
it
was
a
really
a
pleasure
to
see
them.
Chris
and
I
had
seen
Claire
Lou
recently
and
I
said
it
was
just
a
pleasure.
A
She
was
exactly
as
she
was
as
mayor,
which
was
always
sort
of
encouraging
people
to
have
discussions,
not
necessarily
having
a
strong
view
herself,
but
usually
going
in
the
right
direction.
I
thought
Steve
and
Randy
were.
You
know
very
welcome
to
join
us,
and
it
was
a
very
pleasant
time
had
by
all
I
think,
I
I've
been
particular,
but
I.
Think.
Everyone
else
also
noted
that
one
of
the
strengths
of
the
city
of
Beacon
is
our
Charter,
which
was
put
into
place
not
actually
when
Claire
Lou
began
as
mayor.
A
A
There's
been
some
really
short
ones
and
part
of
that
process
is
once
someone
is
in
it
actually
takes.
You
know
two
steps
to
take
some
air
and
a
council
to
change
an
administrator
and
I
think
that
has
served
the
city
really
well
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
those
couple
of
things.
I've
got
two
proclamations:
I
want
to
read
I'm
going
to
do
the
one
for
Flag
Day.
A
We
remember
too,
the
sacrifices
that
so
many
have
made
to
protect
our
nation,
to
defend
the
rights
of
all
our
fellow
citizens
and
to
advance
our
nation's
principles
both
at
home
and
abroad.
So
now,
therefore,
I
declare
I
Proclaim
June
14th
to
be
flagged
in
the
city
of
Beacon
and
encourage
residents
to
reflect
on
all
that
it
represents.
A
And
whereas
President
Bill
Clinton
in
2000
declared
June,
gay
and
lesbian
pride
month
and
then
in
2009.
President
Obama
expanded
that
to
include
bisexual
and
transgender
pride
and
then
on
June,
2nd
2021
and
May
31st
2022
President
Biden
further
expanded
the
commemoration
to
include
queer
and
NSX
Pride
respectively.
A
J
J
J
A
A

So
this
position
is
in
the
city's
wastewater
treatment.
Plant
Brian
has
been
in
wastewater
treatment
since
2016..
He
currently
is
the
operator
of
the
village
of
Reinbeck
system,
which
is
a
smaller
Wastewater
system
than
we
have.
He
has
a
two-way
license,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
by
him
coming
to
Beacon
to
move
up
to
a
4A
license
because
we
have
a
larger
plant
and
to
get
that
license.
You
need
to
have
experience
in
the
plant
he's
very
good
at
the
cmms,
which
is
computerized
maintenance
management
system.
Thank
you.
H
A
So,
let's
move
it
forward,
so
all
those
in
favor
of
appointing
Brian
baccamo
to
the
position
of
senior
Wastewater
maintenance,
mechanics
AI.
Anyone
opposed
the
next
one
is
a
resolution.
It's
a
local
law
concerning
stop
signs
onto
wind,
Street
and
parking
restrictions
on
East
Main
can
I
get
a
motion
in
second
and
Ben
will
describe
it
for
us
motion.
Second,.
B
F
Yep
I'll
just
do
a
quick
refresher
for
everyone.
We've
workshopped
this
we've
talked
about
it
at
a
public
hearing
and
now
it's
time
to
bring
it
to
a
vote
or
at
least
to
discuss
it
at
a
vote
now
and
I
will
give
you
a
quick
refresher
on
what
it
involves.
There's
two
aspects
to
this
local
law
Amendment.
F
The
first
is
making
the
intersection
of
DeWitt
Street
and
South
Walnut
Street
into
a
four-way
intersection,
rather
than
a
two-way
I've,
marked
out
the
current
stop
signs
there
now
and
which
ones
would
be
added,
and
secondly,
this
would
be
expanding
the
no
parking
during
any
hours
along
East
Main
from
Mountain
Lane
to
pocket.
Road
and
we've
previously
addressed
this
in
this
area
before
with
some
some
no
parking
restrictions.
B
A
A
K
A
F
F
Mickey
and
chief
Lucchesi
have
worked
together
to
kind
of
figure
out
where
they'll
be
lining
them
out.
So
I
wasn't
a
part
of
that
actual
evaluation,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
updated
traffic
parking
stall
count,
as
shown
in
the
memo,
reflects
the
appropriate
number
of
parking
or
roughly
thereabout,
to
accommodate
the
narrowing
at
certain
portions
and
also
the
turn
radius
for
the
apparatus
coming
onto
sub.
I
J
What
we
would
do
is
we
we
need
to
make
sure
all
the
signs
and
I
think
as
of
Friday
all,
but
one
we're
in
when
I
have
all
the
signs
and
we'll
unveil
them
and
and
and
probably
put
up
signage
and
then
have
a
police
officer
at
least
the
first
state.
Just
letting
people
know
that
that's
changed.
We've
also
asked
Highway
Department
to
do
Flyers
at
all
the
houses
along
there.
A
A
Were
comments
about
wanting
to
make
sure
that
this
was
a
temporary
change?
Obviously,
that's
the
nature
of
the
law.
I
will
note
in
the
input
that
I
provided
to
Ben
and
the
Traffic
Safety
Committee
was
that
they
take
a
comprehensive
look,
not
only
at
South
Avenue,
but
also
at
Commerce,
Street
and
also
Cliff.
A
Not
hearing
any
other
discussion
so
all
in
favor
of
adopting
a
temporary
one-way
on
South
Avenue
from
Main
Street
southbound
to
Beacon
Street,
say
aye
hi.
Anyone
opposed
okay.
Thank
you.
So
the
next
one
is
a
resolution.
Accepting
a
utility
easement
for
12
Highland
Place
can
I
get
a
motion
and
a
second
for
that
motion.
I
L
You
mayor
so
be
planning
board
to
prove
that
four
lot
subdivision
on
a
property
at
the
corner
of
Grove,
Street
and
Highland
Avenue
as
part
of
one
of
the
conditions
of
the
approval
of
the
subdivision,
was
a
requirement
that
stormwater
drainage
to
be
installed
and
connected
to
these
cities.
Stormwater
infrastructure.
There
is
a
portion
of
that
piping
that
will
be
located
on
lot,
one,
which
is
a
lot
at
the
corner
of
Highland
and
grow
for
about
75
feet.
L
So
the
city
is
accepting
an
easement
that
will
give
the
city
the
right
to
have
its
infrastructure
located
on
this
lot,
one,
including
a
catch
Basin,
and
once
it's
installed
and
inspected
by
the
city's
Engineers
the
city
will
then
Council
then
be
asked
to
accept
the
dedication
of
that
storm
water
piping.
So
the
first
step
is
to
accept
the
easement
that
allows
the
height
on
the
Ambit
on
the
private
property
lot.
One
today
we're
at
the
first
step.
I
Thank
you
for
providing
the
map
you
provided
over
email
because
I
question
I
know
they
have
other
easements
that
are
on
the
corner
of
Highland
place
and
Grove,
but
this
seems
like
a
new
easement
that
runs
through
more
the
middle
of
the
subdivision,
based
on
the
map
you
provided.
So
that
was
useful
to
understand
that
this
is
not
the
current
easements.
This
is
an
additional
easement,
probably
because
they've
split
it.
That's.
L
I
B
A
L
You
mayor,
so
the
city
council
received
a
request
from
a
property
owner
at
six
Commerce
Street
requesting
their
property
be
rezoned
from
the
Zone.
It's
currently
in
the
r1-7.5
to
the
CMS.
So
at
the
last
Workshop
meeting
the
city
council
heard
from
the
property
owner
as
well
as
the
city,
planner
reviewed,
the
city
planner's.
D
L
As
well
as
our
written
request
of
a
property
owner,
the
city
council
also
reviewed
the
zoning
map
and
observed
the
current
location
that
this
is
the
only
lot
on
that
side
of
Commerce
group
that
is
in
the
r
1-7.5
and
the
city.
Planner
explained
the
rationale
for
moving
into
the
CMS,
and
we
also
spoke
about
it
solely
within
the
discretion
of
the
city
council
if
they
felt
that
was
warranted.
L
The
city
council
at
that
time
decided
to
at
least
get
the
movement
process
along,
not
schedule
public
hearing,
but
get
the
input
from
the
County
planning
board
and
the
city
planning
board
on
this
proposal.
So
our
office
prepared
a
draft
local
law,
and
the
resolution
for
you
tonight
does
not
schedule
a
public
hearing,
but
rather
request
that
the
local
law
be
referred
to
the
planning
board
city
and
county
for
them
to
provide
a
reported
recommendation
back
for
further
consideration.
Discussion
by
the
council.
B
L
They
would
not
be
able
to
get
a
used
bearings
because
they
could
not
satisfy
the
New
York
state
legal
criteria,
because
they'd
have
to
show
they
could
not
get
an
economic
return
from
the
existing
use
of
the
property
which
is
residential,
which
they
had
to
be
able
to
do
so.
So
the
only
way
to
change
the
use
of
a
property
is
to
one
conform
of
what's
allowed
on
existence
only
or
ask
for
to
be
rezoned
to
a
different
zoning
District.
H
H
This
doesn't
necessarily
change
my
opinion
of
sending
this
along
to
the
planning
board
for
further
review,
but
I
just
want
a
voice
that
I'm
still
have
sort
of
some
dubious
understanding
of
why
we
are
singling
out
this
particular
property.
There
are
other
sort
of
oddly
shaped
zoning
lines
along
the
CMS
outside
of
this
particular
one,
and
it
just
is
I'm
so
sort
of
fundamentally
confounded
by
the
sort
of
Ethics
behind.
If
we
are
reconsidering
our
commercial
zoning,
should
we
not
be
reconsidering
our
commercial
zoning
overall
versus
responding
to
this
one
particular
request.
L
To
avoid
that
I
think
it
goes
to
the
zoning
process.
The
individual
could
have
come
out
at
the
time.
This
was
being
re-zoned
or
zoned
into
the
CMS
district
and
made
the
same
comment
that
was
made
was
made
tonight.
So
it
was
always
that
opportunity
to
for
a
property
owner
to
comment
on
zoning
spot.
Zoning
would
be
more
if
it's
in
a
different
area
and
it's
not
contiguous
or
adjacent
to
the
existing
Zone
that
you're
trying
to
move
it
into
this
Council
also
has
a
right
to
look
at
other
Parcels.
It's
yours
only
District.
L
L
H
A
A
H
L
You
mayor
so
the
city
of
Beacon,
City,
Charter,
section
5.04
as
part
of
the
section
on
this
fiscal
policies
requires
that
the
mayor
prepare
and
present
a
five-year
Capital
plan
by
May
31st
of
every
year
through
the
city,
administrative
cities,
Finance
director
that
Capital
plan
was
prepared.
It
was
presented
in
just
by
May
31st
and
discussed
at
least
at
two
meetings
with
the
council.
L
The
city
Charter
requires
them
that,
once
it's
being
prepared
to
discuss
the
council,
the
city
council
then
schedule
a
public
hearing
so
that
the
public
has
an
opportunity
and
then
they
had
to
be
voted
on
by
the
city
council
by
no
later
than
July
31st.
So
have
you
received
the
proposed
Capital
plan
discussed
if
you
want
to
the
next
step
of
scheduling
the
public
hearing,
which
will
be
done,
of
course,
with
the
requirements
on
the
charter.
A
So
I
will
note
that
I
frequently
request
a
five-year
Capital
plan
on
Council
over
the
years.
They
have
been
more
or
less
Five-Year
Plan
some
years
there
were
less
of
a
five-year
plan
and
more
of
a
one.
This
one
I
look
forward
to
because
it
is
a
full
Five-Year,
Plan
and
I'm,
respectful,
I'm,
also
pretty
patient.
It's
takes
it's.
It's
actually
hard
work
to
act
to
Think
Through.
A
What
funding
that's
used
to
pay
for
long-term
capital
programs
in
terms
of
bonding
is
rolling
off
what
sort
of
room
you
might
have
in
terms
of
paying
principal
interest
and
then
what
you
want
to
schedule.
It's
also
harder.
If
you
try
to
do
the
ones
that
we
might
get
grants,
for
it
is
not
a
straightforward
process
and
I
am
respectful
that
and
grateful
that
we've
managed
to
do
a
pretty
good
one
this
year
and
it's
actually
looking
at
five
years.
So
those
are
my
only
comments.
A
A
A
I
There,
in
the
minutes,
we
had
a
public
hearing
regarding
stop
signs
and
parking
restrictions,
I
think
for
a
dewint
in
East
Main
that
we
just
passed
and
the
second
part
of
that
says
motion
to
pass.
The
resolution
I
think
that's
probably
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing,
as
we
didn't
actually
pass
it
until
tonight.
J
H
I
A
With
that
one
change
with
respect
to
the
public
hearing
and
the
adoption,
as
opposed
to
the
closing
of
the
public
hearing,
all
in
favor
of
approving
the
minutes
of
May
22nd,
say
yes,
say:
aye
aye
anyone
opposed.
So
this
is
the
second
opportunity
for
public
comment.
I
see
no
one
in
the
physical
presence
of
the
council
who
can
make
a
public
comment
who
didn't
make
one
at.
