Description
The City of Beacon Council workshop from November 28, 2022
A
A
B
So
we
usually
do
these
in
January
and
I'm
trying
to
get
a
little
bit
of
ahead
of
ourselves
because,
like
these
technically
expire
at
the
end
of
December,
so
I'm
I'm
trying
to
get
things
like
agreements
will
be
bringing
you
Insurance
next
week.
So
that's
in
place,
so
we're
we're,
asked
our
attorney
or
engineer
and
our
planner
to
give
us
updates.
We've
negotiated
the
prices
with
them
for
very,
very
modest
increases
and,
in
fact,
on
the
legal
services.
B
I
was
able
to
get
a
lot
more
under
the
retainer
that
we
pay
on
a
monthly
basis,
so
things
that
normally
would
have
been
charged
to
us
off
of
the
retainer
like
just
any
kind
of
small
disciplinary
action
or
labor
questions.
We
automatically
would
have
gotten
billed
on
that
and
we
haven't
been
using
the
hours
like
we
did
a
few
years
ago.
So
what
I
did
is
I
said
rather
than
us
asking
you
about
I,
don't
know
it.
B
B
You
know
some
new
things
with
them
on
how
I
want
to
operate,
particularly
with
the
legal
services
and
I
am
comfortable
for
another
year.
So
I
wanted
to
bring
those
three.
You
have
the
proposals
in
your
packets
you'll
see,
Keenan
Bean
went
up
just
slightly
one
year
there
was
no
increase.
Most
of
these
increases
are
around
for
Keenan
Bean.
It's
about
a
four
percent
increase,
which
is
pretty
reasonable
and
again
with
the
value
that
I
got
from
putting
other
things
under
the
retainer.
C
Chris
I
I,
appreciate
I
took
a
look
at
the
contract.
We
passed
the
beginning
of
this
year
and
I
appreciate
the
number
of
hours
per
month,
I
believe
also
being
called
out
in
the
in
the
contract.
I'm
wondering
related
to
that
is.
Are
you
currently
tracking
how
many
hours
a
month
we
spend
within
their
retainer
or
plan
to
track
that
with
them
moving
forward?
Yes,.
B
You
know.
Basically,
we've
averaged
somewhere
to
80
to
85
hours
a
month
on
that
retainer.
So
in
but
again
there
were
things
that
we
you
know
we
would
do
that
I
wouldn't
have
prioritized
and
then
other
things
like
property
sales
and
particularly
labor
questions
we'd
be
charged
225
or
240
dollars
an
hour.
So
we've
largely
stopped
that
and
brought
that
under
the
retainer.
B
D
C
Yeah
I'm
curious
as
much
as
is
practical
for
you
to
get
an
update
because
I
know,
particularly
there
are
times
when
we
bring
up
things
on
city
council
that
involve
legal
support,
we'd
like
legal
support
and
sometimes
you've
shared
that
you
know
we
need
to
kind
of
be
conscious
of
that.
So
I
think
the
more
you
can
then
share
with
us
kind
of
where
we
are
overall
I.
Think
that
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
understand
some
of
those
decisions
and
priorities.
Yeah.
B
I
mean
we
we've
mostly
stayed
in
the
range
like
there's
some
months.
You
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
going
on
like
in
the
middle
of
summer
or
in
December,
and
then
there's
other
months
where
we're
almost
over
100
hours,
so
so
I
I
keep
an
eye
on
it.
If
we
get
like
in
a
deficit,
I
I
definitely
will
let
you
know,
like
I'm
I'm,
trying
to
more
modify
the
way
my
office
uses
the
hours.
B
E
C
F
Chris
I
have
a
question
so
there
there
seems
to
be
a
a
new
need
of
our
attorneys
or
something
we
haven't
done
in
a
while,
which
is
the
trainings
Jennifer
Gray
recommended
that
there
would
be
that
there
was
training
required
for
the
planning
board
because
they
didn't,
you
know
really
grasp
their
kind
of
full
power.
I
think
was
her
words
and
some
of
us
on
the
council
have
been
asking
for
a
training
with
regards
to
a
pilot
but
I
think
I.
F
B
A
I
I
thought
well:
I
I've
been
to
zoning
board
and
planning
board
meetings
when
they
spend
the
first
half
hour
or
hour,
doing
training,
stuff,
yes
and
so
I
think
that's
already
built
in
I.
Think
the
you
know
whether
there's
additional
ones
I,
don't
know,
but
I
I've
sat
through
those
and
I'm
going
to
find
them
helpful.
So
yeah.
F
G
B
In
addition
to
an
initial
training
that
they
get
from
Jennifer
Clark,
they
they
have
to
do
a
certain
number
of
hours
to
comply
with
the
state's
regulations
and
Drew
is
Drew,
is
on
and
Drew
we're
talking
about
the
training
of
planning
board
members-
and
you
and
I
talked
about
that
briefly
earlier
about
Jennifer
doing
something
with
the
new
members
and
or
the
the
existing
board.
Did
you
have
a
chance
to
talk
to
her
more.
E
G
D
B
It's
kind
of,
if
you
think
about
it
in
terms
of
there's
an
initial
orientation,
and
because
we
don't
it's
not
a
cohort
like
we
had
with
your
group,
where
every
four
new
members
are
coming
in.
We
essentially
should
all
Walk
Through
This
Together
in
this
case
you're,
going
to
have
probably
one
new
member
of
the
zba
one
new
member
of
the
planning
board
and
it's
probably
more
efficient
for
them
to
do
a
one-on-one
with
Jennifer.
If
there's
a
specific
topic
that
you
want
to
see
at
the
meetings,
we
can
also
do
that.
B
H
Well,
the
my
understanding
is
that
some
of
those
trainings
are
about
specific
topics,
and
some
of
those
trainings
are
in
general
about
how
the
planning
board
works
and
doesn't
work
and
I
had
made
a
request
to
have
know
what
those
dates
were,
so
that
the
public
can
reference
them.
I,
don't
know
that
we
need
to
necessarily
do
the
same
trainings
over
and
over
again
for
the
same
planning
board
members,
but
those
trainings
I
think
could
be
a
little
more
to
the
public.
So
if
people
do
have
a
question,
we
can
say
well
on
this.
H
H
C
I,
like
the
idea
of
it
being
packageable,
because
I
have
seen
one
case,
I,
don't
know
how.
Often
it
comes
up
that
sometimes
they
do
some
small
things
before
the
training
just
because
they
that
person
said
they
had
to
leave
and
so
they're
like
okay,
so
it
just
you
know,
makes
it
that
much
more
easier,
but
I
I
I
I,
like
your
idea,
generally
Paloma
of
knowing
on
which
date
is
which
one
because
to
agree
with
Lee.
Some
of
them
are
really
interesting
and
I
learn
from
them
as.
A
A
Zba,
the
fundamentals
are
probably
doable
in
a
couple
of
meetings
like
you
know,
the
distinction
between
a
use,
variance
versus
an
area
variance
and
what
the
criteria
are.
Those
could
be
packaged
in
probably
a
couple
half
hour
shots
and
then
labeled
as
such,
that
they're
not
attached
to
the
individual
meetings
when
the
trainings
occur
right.
F
H
D
I
F
F
F
E
D
E
H
B
Mean
I
think
I
think
that's
the
right
way
to
go
to
we're.
Also
looking
at
doing
that
with
our
resolutions
like.
If
you
go
to
try
to
find
one
of
our
resolutions,
it's
really
hard
and
you
have
to
know
what
you're
looking
for,
whereas
on
some
public
websites,
it
just
has
a
listing
in
chronological
order
with
the
number
and
then
a
description
of
the
title.
D
B
Has
been
working
on
that
we're
going
to
hope
to
launch
that
in
January,
as
well
so
like
having
these
areas
of
the
website
that
are
easily
navigate.
Navigated
is
navigable.
It's
helpful
and
I
know
that
our
videographer
P
has
taken
our
zba
and
planning
stuff
and
he's
moving
it
so
that
it's
easier
to
find
you
don't
have
to
dig
through
City
Council
meetings
and
you
just
go
right.
There.
A
A
E
E
I
B
E
As
a
result,
the
state
has
been
outdated,
its
regulations
that
pertain
to
the
administration
and
enforcement
of
the
state
uniform
code
and
the
state
energy
code
and
those
regulations
are
set
forth
in
19,
nycr
or
1203
and
were
officially
adopted
on
in
December
of
2021..
The
state
then
gave
instructions
that
all
municipalities
had
to
update
their
Administration
and
enforcement
provisions
and
energy
code
to
comply
with
the
new
regulation,
and
we
have
to
make
these
updates
by
December
31st
2022..
E
C
From
sorry,
I
just
want
to
interject
because
it
helpful
for
me:
I
looked
it
up.
The
uniform
code
stands
for
the
uniform
fire
prevention
and
building
code.
So
this
this
law
is
mainly
about
what
we
do
to
regulate
and
force
Fire
and
Building
standards,
and
the
energy
code
is
the
energy
conservation
construction
code.
So
just
to
give
those
listening
in
a
general
sense
of
the
topic
that
we're
talking
about
back
to
you
drew.
E
So
I'm
not
we're
not
Reinventing
the
wheel
here,
we're
really
just
kind
of
beefing
up
and
slipping
amending
chapter
119
so
that
it
matches
and
what
the
state
is
requiring
us
to
do.
So.
These
changes
have
been
reviewed
with
our
new
building
inspector
group,
aware
of
what
the
requirements
are
and
what
the
state's
expectations
are
going
forward.
E
The
state
also
issued
out
a
model
log
chapter
119
is
very
similar
to
the
model
law,
so
it's
actually
very
easy
to
add
any
update.
So
it
worked
out
very
nicely.
So
we
started
off
amending
the
definition
section
to
add
in
the
new
definition
that
state
has
adopted,
so
they
added
a
definition
for
assembly
area.
E
B
E
E
E
E
So
if
it's
not
implicit
exemptions,
it
will
require
a
building
permit
about
I.
Do
want
to
clarify
one
thing
about
swimming
pools.
Swimming
pools
that
are
less
than
24
inches
do
not
require
a
building
permit.
Under
the
uniform
code,
the
state's
logic
was
taking
it
out
of
park.
1203
was
that
if
it's
not
part
of
the
uniform
code,
it
does
not
need
to
be
regulated
and
it
does
not
need
to
be
listed.
E
F
E
When
they
were
never
subject
to
the
uniform
code
and
that
came
up
in
there
in
the
comments
to
the
regulations,
so
actually,
if
anyone
can't
fall
asleep
at
night,
you
want
to
read
all
the
comments
and
questions
that
would
need
you
preparing
the
regulations.
Swimming
pools
is
one
of
those.
Why
don't
you
take
it
out
and
then
that's
how
we
came
to
realize
that
it's
the.
E
E
E
K
I
I'm
sorry
I
had
a
question
just
about
the
fee
schedule
and
I
think
this
might
be
more
for
Chris
I,
don't
know,
but
I
saw
that
it
says
that
the
city
council
sets
the
fee
schedule
and
is
that
something
that
at
one
point
we
talked
about
at
all
or
something
that
I
just
missed?
Or
is
that
something
that
we
do
at
some
point?
Just
like?
B
I
E
E
E
E
You
know
whether
it
is
important:
let's
go
back
to
our
elements
of
construction,
let's
say
they
just
put
a
framing
and
it
needed
to
be
inspected
you
would.
It
would
all
be
done
with
a
camera,
even
just
a
simple
cell
phone
camera,
where
you're,
FaceTiming
and
you're
walking
around
and
you're
showing
live.
What?
B
B
E
K
L
E
K
E
We
can
make
it
a
practice
that
the
inspection
results
Mark,
whether
or
not
it
was
in
person
or
remote
at
this
time.
You
know,
since
this
is
brand
new,
it
has
never
been
used,
but
the
inspection
result
I,
don't
know
if
it's
a
form
or
just
how
we
how
he
does
for
how
he's
going
to
do
it.
But
we
can
talk
to
him
about
that
about
noting
person
or
remote.
B
E
Right
so
then,
you
know
we
get
to
the
inspection
results
from
Denver
State
as
mandated
is
that
all
inspection
results
include
a
citation
to
specific
code.
Provisions
that
have
not
been
met
for
some
building
is
better
this
year
more
generalized
stations
that
you
know
your
door
isn't
secure
as
an
example,
but
now
it's
okay
to
secure
that
the
violation
of
this
section
of
the
uniform
code
so
just
being
a
little
bit
more
specific
orders.
E
L
E
C
E
E
In
if
they're
coming
into
the
city
and
that
they
will
be
required
to
get
an
operation
and
fill
out
paper
operating
permit
and
to
get
the
inspection
for
that
operating
permit
again,
this
is
for
inspections.
The
state
again
has
allowed
with
remote
inspections
for
operating
permits
as
well,
so
the
remote
inspection-
it
still
is
an
option
within
this
category.
K
I
had
a
question
specifically
around
the
tents
and
temporary
special
event
structures.
So
if
somebody
wanted
to
put
up
like
a
tent
in
their
yard
for
a
wedding,
would
they
have
to
then
get
an
operating
permit
for
that
and,
if
so
like,
how
does
the
inspection
work
because,
usually
that's
something
that
gets
set
up
like
the
day
of
or
the
week
of,
and
not
necessarily
like
a
month
beforehand
or
so.
E
Of
how
big
they
are
they'd
be
exempts
if
they're
not
regulated
by
the
uniform
code,
so
it
would
depends
if
you're
throwing
a
wedding
and
you're
putting
in
very
large
10
structure.
Up,
that's
going
to
you
know,
be
placed
into
a
day
or
two
or
a
couple
days
before
the
event.
Yes,
it's
going
to
require
an
operating
permit.
It's
going
to
want
to
contact
the
building
department
to.
D
E
Sure
that
everything
is
okay
again,
it's
just
about
safety,
because
now
you're
putting
up
a
very
large
attention.
If
that
doesn't
collapses,
people
could
be
at
risk.
So
that's
why
the
operating
so
that
is
so
important.
But
again
it's
going
to
depend
on
the
size
of
the
test
and
I
just
bend
over
I
know.
B
And-
and
we
do
this
like
when
we've
had
festivals
down
at
the
riverfront
and
they
propose
tents,
we
do
that.
What
I've
been
told
is
that,
if
it's
done
by
a
professional
company
they
they
know
how
to
do
this.
So
there's
no
issue,
like
so
I
think
we
have
a
comfort
level
with
vendors
that
we
know
have
set
these
up
and
never
had
an
issue.
K
And
this
isn't
something
we
really
have
flexibility
in
right.
This
is
just
the
the
state
has
set
these
codes
and
that's
what
it
is.
I
just
I
know
a
lot
of
people
like
to
get
married
and
Beacon
and
granted.
We
do
have
venues
but
I.
Just
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this,
as
we
set
this
forth,
that
we're
not
creating
a
workload.
That's
overbearing
for
our
building
department.
E
F
But
I
did
at
the
time
when
we
had
the
discussion
voice,
concern
about
the
smoke
shops
or
the
smoke
bars
and
a
small
business
owner
on
Main
Street
expressed
concern
recently
about
what
is
going
to
play
out
here.
Do
we
see
that
those
regulations
showing
up
in
our
code
or
are
they
just
going
to
be
state
regulations
that
those
businesses
have
to
follow
and
to
what
extent
would
we
be
able
to
adapt
those
regulations.
E
Yeah,
so
actually
it's
going
to
be
a
combination
between
the
state
issuing
regulations
and
then
the
city
between
local
regulations
to
supplement
what
the
state
did.
The
state
has
issued
a
proposed
proposed
regulation
for
retail
dispensaries,
one
place
those
regulations
are
available.
The
candidates
Control
Board
website
for
me,
like
I,
said
for
retail
dispensaries.
They
also
touch
upon
aspects
of
the
social
Equity
program
and
then
pertain
to
face
them
effect,
requirements
that
these
facilities
would
have
to
follow.
E
Those
were
issues
there's
a
60-day
comment
period.
We
anticipate
that
they're
going
to
be
changing
a
lot
they're,
pretty
vague
I
was
a
little
disappointed
in
how
they
came
out,
but
anyway,
this
is
that
point
so
they're
they
just
were
posted
last
week.
Actually,
so
the
60-day
conduct
period
has
just
started.
So
if
you
want
to
take
a
look
and
I
can
actually
send
them
around
you,
but
once
those
are
adopted,
the
cities
should
consider
then
adopting
different
regulations
to
regulate
retail
dispensaries.
E
F
E
Control
board
and
you
go
to
their
main
website,
auditions
they'll,
be
they
have
a
chart
about
proposed
regulations
and
then
addition
comments.
So
anyone
from
any
member
of
the
public
gives
you
comments.
Oh
also,
on-site,
retail
dispensaries,
then
even
further
down
the
line,
the
state
hasn't
even
touched
upon
traditional
on-site
licenses.
They
haven't
issued
regulations,
they
haven't
talked
about
how
applicants
get
those
licenses.
So
that's
amazing.
We
will
not
be
seeing
on-site
consumption
facilities
coming
to
our
communities
anytime
soon,.
E
E
E
E
D
E
Office
of
fire
prevention
and
control,
now
fire
prevention
and
the
office
of
fire
prevention
and
control
will
continue
to
do
the
inspection
for
our
public
schools
and
private
schools
and
colleges.
But
now
the
state
doesn't
think
that's
fine,
but
they
have
to
submit
and
report
to
the
municipality.
That
report
has
to
be
reviewed
by
the
code
enforcement
officer
and
he
has
to
be
satisfied
that
the
inspection
is
sufficient
to
Best
Buy
performance
of
the
state
regulations.
D
E
E
E
E
A
big
intersection
is
condition
assessments
of
parking
garages.
This
is
new
to
part
1203,
but
building
inspectors
have
known
that
this
is
coming,
so
they
have
been
working
with
parking
garage
garages
to
ensure
the
right
inspection
is
done.
I,
don't
think
we
can
have
a
lot
of
parking
garage
structures,
so
this
is
less
of
a
big
deal
for
Beacon.
But
again
the
language
is
mandated
that
we
included
in
the
code.
C
E
Yes,
there's
no
room
for
creativity
in
here.
This
is
all
straight
from
the
1203
complaints
about.
If
this
is
record,
keeping
about
the
condition
assessment
reports
being
part
of
the
record,
keeping
patient's
always
done
a
program
review
and
Reporting,
and
then
we
have
our
enforcement
and
our
penalties,
which
are
staying
the
same
and
oh
I'm.
Sorry.
This
is
the
last
new
section
with
client,
climatic
and
Geographic
design
criteria.
E
E
Again.
This
is
also
something
that
it
has
been
looked
at.
It
just
was
never
set
forth
in
the
code
AS
clearly
as
it
is
going
to
be
once
we
adopt
this
local
law.
So
it's
not
a.
It
looks
like
a
lot
in
a
little
bit
of
a
shock,
but
it's
things
that
have
already
really
been
Incorporated,
we're
just
setting
setting
it
forth
in
chapter
119
and
that
that's
it.
J
B
B
E
21.
and
that's
it's
been
a
provision
in
the
city
code
for
for
a
long
time
as
I
understand
it,
so
it
is
possible
that
some
of
these
requirements
get
forgotten.
So
it's
good
to
kind
of
look
at
this.
This
whole
chapter
over
which
one
and
you
can
go
and
just
demand
the
sections
that
needed
it.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
the
whole
chapter
was
included.
So
we
can
kind
of
get
our
eyes
on
on
everything
and
then
getting
updates
that
we
need
to.
B
H
H
J
D
D
F
E
You
can't
do
it
that
way,
because
the
inspections
are
separately
regulated
where
the
the
school
district
can
do
their
Inspire
and
safety
infections
with
the
ofpc,
but
they
have
to
be
reviewed
by
the
city.
So
we
can't,
even
if
they're
visible,
get
rid
of.
You
know
that
responsibility,
but
it's
more
about
like,
as
the
mayor
said,
building
inspector
was
a
great
example.
So
I
mean
you
don't
have
departments
at
all,
and
so
maybe
the
county
runs
that
municipality
building
department.
E
F
E
E
Of
the
2020
code
changes
so
I,
you
know
every
now
and
then
you
might
see
little
little
changes
as
the
state
realizes
that
some
of
their
Mansions
weren't
working
out,
they
might
say
you
know,
here's
the
change
and
I
think
municipalities
can
can
respond
to
that.
This
is
at
least
in
my
experience,
I've
been
with
with
Amy
since
2016..
This
is.
F
E
Well,
I:
there
are
municipalities
that
have
beefed
up
their
bladder
prevention
and
building
codes
to
require.
You
know
different
requirements
like
instruction
management
plans,
or
you
know,
added
different
Provisions
that
are
kind
of
outside
what
the
state
requires.
So
you,
you
can
add
Provisions.
If
you
want
again,
it
would
just
be
a
matter
of,
is
it?
Is
it
allowed
by
the
state?
Is
it
preempted
in
any
way?
So
we
have
to
look.
E
But
the
language
that
we've
added
here
tonight
is
strictly
a
result
of
Park
1203
at
a
demanding
from
the
state.
That's
not
the
thing!
You
can't
go
and
add
other
things
to
test
the
119
or
make
additional
additional
changes
that
Park
mandated
by
the
station,
and
that
can
happen
at
any
time.
It's
just
right
now.
We're
focused
on
the
1203
changes,
because
we
have
this
deadline,
we're
up
against
with
December
31st.
F
B
I
was
going
to
introduce
this
just
a
little
bit,
so
the
the
discussion
tonight
comes
about
questions
that
were
raised
about
how
we
could
budget
for
sidewalks
so
that
we
can
begin
to
rebuild
the
the
sidewalk
system
in
in
Beacon.
One
of
the
questions
I
had
and
I
asked
Drew
to
work
on
a
memo
about
is
under
what
circumstances
do
private
owners
have
to
pay
for
that
versus
the
city
or
there's
some
shared
cost
between
those,
so
that
we
can
begin
to
understand
like
if
we're
going
to
invest
I'm
in
sidewalks?
B
B
So
Drew
is
going
to
walk
you
through
that
and
I.
We
thought
this
is
again
just
kind
of
a
foundational
conversation
as
we
move
towards
our
Capital
program
in
May,
and
you
know
again,
we
are
exploring
other
sidewalk
projects
that
are
going
to
require
some
money
from
the
city.
So
I
think
this
is
going
to
keep
coming
up
and
we
should
kind
of
just
understand
what
our
code
says
and
see.
If
there's
anything,
we
might
need
to
change
so
Drew.
Could
you
walk
us
through
your
framework.
E
D
D
E
E
E
E
Cost
the
cost
over
your
period,
you
know
so
these
Provisions
have
existed,
for
you
know
a
while
and
the
part
about
property
owner
being
responsible
for
sidewalk
damage
and
repairs.
That's
common
in
almost
all
the
municipalities.
I
have
not
come
across
from
municipality.
That
does
not
make
that
requirement.
E
D
E
Little
bit
more
unique
to
Beacon.
Now
the
state
is
the
municipality
of
the
authority
to
set
forth
these
requirements.
It's
in
both
state
law.
It's
public
policy,
it's
important.
It's
supported
the
case
law,
so
the
city
is
not
unique
in
its
program
or
policy,
but
these
are
the
requirements
that
the
city
has
to
follow
because
it
is
set
forth
in
our
city
code.
B
E
Over
maintaining
their
sidewalk,
so
that
includes
snow
and
ice
removal.
They
alone
are
responsible.
Someone
gets
hurt
because
they
slip
and
fell
on
ice
in
front
of
their
property.
The
city
is
not
responsible.
It's
not
liable
that
liability
remains
with
a
property
owner,
because
the
property
owner
has
that
responsibility
to
maintain
the
sidewalk.
That's
at
the
reference
to
snow
and
ice
maintenance
is
referenced
separately
in
the
city
code,
chapter
191.
B
And
and
again,
I
think
we've
been
trying
to
address
things
in
a
fair
and
efficient
manner.
So
we
had
recently,
you
may
have
seen
somebody
out
doing
grinding
of
the
sidewalks
on
Main
Street,
where
they
didn't
meet
anymore
and
we
needed
to
Bevel
them
so
that
you
didn't
have
a
trip
in
Fall
Hazard.
There
were
there
were
over
a
hundred
of
these
things
and
and
just
to
do
the
figure
out
the
billing
and
go
back
after
all.
These
owners
made
no
sense
at
all.
B
So
what
we
did
is
we
just
did
it.
You
know
as
about
ten
thousand
dollars
of
work,
and
it
addressed
I
think
143
issues
along
Main
Street.
So
so
there
are
compelling
cases
you
know,
I
would
argue
like
on
a
Main
Street.
The
the
benefit
is
mostly
public,
rather
than
just
the
person
that
lives
there.
Similarly,
like
we've
done
the
road
project
that
we're
doing
on
Fishkill
Avenue
teller
Avenue
is
going
to
replace
all
of
the
existing
sidewalks.
None
none
of
the
owners
they're
going
to
have
to
pay
for
that.
F
F
C
E
This
depends
on
exactly
where
the
city
wanted
to
place.
The
sidewalk,
where
someone's
private
property
was
you'd,
have
to
evaluate
you
know
you'd
have
to
whether
we
have
to
purchase
that
space
or
whether
the
property
owner
would
be
acceptable
than
the
easement.
But
that's
that's
rare.
If
you
look
at
our
tax
map
and
where
sidewalks
are
they're
the
property
lines
above
the
sidewalk
and
the
sidewalk
remains
property
is
public
property.
B
E
I
think
the
easiest
way
is,
like
Chris,
said,
to
acquire
that
our
additional
property
that
you
need.
That
would
just
be
the
cleanest
way
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
city
has
can
install
decide
what
they
want,
but
it
does
become
one
stall.
The
property
education,
property
owner
is
responsible
for
maintaining
it
and
then
repairing.
F
B
B
So
again,
I
think,
what's
what's
weird,
is
on
major
thoroughfares
like
we
won
a
five-foot
sidewalk,
but
if
somebody
has
a
three
foot
sidewalk
in
their
neighborhood
and
it's
you
know
it's
it's
enough.
It's
enough
to
pass
a
wheelchair
or
the
minimum
width.
I
think
the
code
allows
us
to
put
back
what
what
was
there.
B
D
G
K
B
We
are
moving
the
utilities
for
the
Fishkill
teller
Avenue
project,
but
like
in
one
one
segment
along
Fishkill
Avenue
we're
still
going
to
have
poles
in
the
middle
because
there
was
literally
nowhere
else,
there's
no
other
real
estate
to
put
them
on.
It
is
a
problem.
We've
had
it
with
our
own
infrastructure.
I've.
B
Had
our
water
department
move
two
hydrants
that
were
right
in
the
middle,
so
we
are,
we
are,
as
we
again
I
think
you
could
find
that
pretty
widely
in
a
lot
of
communities
where
we've
we've
made
it
almost
an
impenetrable
system
for
someone,
that's
not
able-bodied
or
has
a
stroller,
I
think
I
think
there's
a
trade-off
with
like
it's
it's
it's
really
hard
to
get
those
pulls
moved.
Even
when
we
have
a
federal
and
state
project.
B
We
just
had
a
meeting
last
Monday
with
two
department
heads
and
three
utilities
about
getting
them
to
move
these
utilities
before
we
start
the
project
next
spring
and
we're
we're
struggling
just
to
do
that.
What
we're
trying
to
do
going
forward
is
not
allow
any
more
of
this
to
be.
You
know
to
encumber
the
system
and,
as
we
can
remove
the
barriers
every
time
we
do
chips
all
of
the
the
chips
repaving
we
did
this
year.
We
also
where
there
weren't
ADA
Compliant
crosswalks.
B
We
we
had
to
update
those
so
we're
doing
them
a
little
bit
at
a
time
it's
it's
kind
of
like
you
have
to
know
where
we
want
to
go,
and
then
each
year
we're
you
know,
as
we
have
opportunities
to
fix
here
and
there
you
do,
but
like
on
Fishkill
I
was
disappointed
because
there's
just
literally
nowhere
else
to
put
the
polls
and
I
can't
take
up
more
of
the
road.
So
we
are
going
to
have
a
couple.
Pinch
points
there.
B
J
B
Could
teach
you
how
to
do
that?
We
are
they
promised
to
teach
me
yeah
day,
all
right,
I,
don't
know
we
and
you
you'll
see.
We
did
that
on
South
Avenue,
going
around
the
large
trees
that
we
didn't
want
to
remove
you,
you
have
a
little
jog
around
yeah
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
we
can
get
there.
We
don't
own,
always
own
the
property.
B
The
other
impediment
for
Ada
access
is
just
the
condition.
There's
a
lot
of
sidewalks.
Where
the
you
know
the
tree
roots
have
pushed
something
up
and
you
can't
get
over
a
bump
like
if,
if
something's
more
than
a
quarter
inch,
it's
technically
not
88,
compliant
yeah,
it's
hard
to
see
I
did
a
sidewalk
evaluation
as
one
of
my
last
projects
in
Ulster,
County
and
I
did
all
of
the
communities
in
Ulster
and
I
graded.
H
I
think
the
other
thing
that
I'm
hearing
in
Justice's
question
is:
are
we
in
this
discussion?
Are
we
gonna
talk
about
our
priorities?
If
we
want
to
we,
we've
talked
about
prioritizing
sidewalks
around
schools.
Obviously
teller
Fishkill
is
a
thoroughfare.
I
would
argue
for
plank.
Is
another
thoroughfare
that
has
issues.
B
Yeah
I
I
think
that's
where
this
Heads
next
I
mean.
Maybe
we
have
John
Clark
on
to
talk
about
or
or
some
other
you
know,
somebody
who's
dedicated
to
pedestrian
planning
to
figure
out,
like
you
know,
typically,
when
you
rate
the
importance
of
a
sidewalk.
These
are
the
factors
now
for
the
cdbg
for
next
year.
B
We
just
look
to
do
South
Avenue,
because
we
had
a
route
to
school
in
a
low-income,
neighborhood
right
along
subsidized
public
housing,
and
it's
like
you
know,
I
needed
I
needed
to
do
something
quickly
because
they
only
opened
it.
It
was
like
okay
in
three
weeks
you
have
to
have
a
letter
of
intent
and
kind
of
knowing
what
you're
doing-
and
it
was
like.
B
A
B
A
A
We
wrote
it
down
or
not
and
we
can
just
pull
it
out.
It's
it's
not
hard
to
do,
but
then
someone
has
to
kind
of
go
rank
or
rank.
Just
like
you
know,
people
rate
the
roads,
so
I
think
it'll
take
a
couple
of
steps,
and
maybe
one
of
the
steps
is
just
kind
of
you
know
just
see
what
was
done.
The
last
time
see
if
there's
any
records.
B
H
B
Or
maybe
I'm
assuming
there
are
because
I
know
like
I,
didn't
administer
the
program
when
I
was
in
the
planning
department,
but
we
had
a
safe
route
to
school.
So
clearly
the
federal
government
said
you
know
the
these
major
thorough
Affairs
that
kids
walk
to
school
are
a
priority
so
that
that
one's
a
pretty
easy
one
for
me,
areas
that
are
low
income
and
comply
with
the
cdbg
benefit.
The
primary
benefit
has
to
be
to
low
and
moderate
income.
B
People
I
I
think
we're
going
to
have
that
as
a
funding
source
for
a
number
of
years,
so
I
would
build
off
that
and,
and
so
I
think
we
can
work
towards
a
plan,
but
I,
don't
think
there's
you
know
again
if
I
think
we
could
probably
look
at
this
from
that
point
of
view
and
figure
out
what
the
next
three
or
four
projects
are
because
I,
it's
not
like
I
mean
like
we,
we
priced
out
South
Avenue
on
the
west
side.
We
just
did
the
east
side
next
to
the.
D
B
And
to
do
all
the
way
from
Davies,
Avenue
down
to
Wolcott
was
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Now,
that's
three
years
so
far
allotment
and
you
know
what
we're.
What
we're
going
to
try
to
do
is
see
if
we
can
afford
to
break
it
into
two
and
ask
you
to
put
you
know:
fund
balance
into
the
other
piece
of
it.
B
B
The
problem
is
I
had
to
put
a
letter
of
they.
They
had
a
month
in
which
we
had
to
put
a
letter
of
intent
of
what
project.
So
we've
queued
up
that
again.
I
have
to
have
a
final
I'm
I'm
running
to
do
survey
work
so
I
have
a
basis
for
even
doing
the
application
on
the
14th.
So
again,
I
think
for
this
year,
like
I,
didn't
I,
didn't
know
they
were
going
to
open
this
and
then
say
hey
in
30
days.
You
have
to
have
this
done.
F
F
F
J
F
F
Think
I
got
I,
think
it's
in
there
and
sorry
and
I
only
bring
this
up
now
because
I,
we
would
have
brought
it
up
when
we,
when
we
thought
that
discussion
was
going
to
take
place,
but
I
I
think
it's
a
legitimate
safety
concern
and
I
don't
want
to
detract
from
anything
that
wants.
You
want
to
do
down
by
South
Avenue,
but
if
there's
already
a
new
sidewalk
there,
maybe
that's
not
the
priority
place
to
put
a
second
new
sidewalk
that
maybe
we
want
to
have
another
sidewalk
and
another
school
Corridor.
D
B
D
B
K
B
A
B
J
B
I
B
A
C
Another
thing
too,
about
Grove,
because
there's
that
lot
at
the
corner,
Grove
in
Highland,
that's
a
new
development
I,
don't
know
if
now
is
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
them
about
their
sub
I,
don't
know
where
they
are
in
the
planning
process
if
they
have
approval
or
what
they'd
be
open
to.
But
if
we
wanted
to
prioritize
it
having
them
help
with
that
could
be
an
opportunity.
G
G
E
G
L
G
Was
going
to
be
a
sidewalk
on
one
side
or
the
other,
and
people
were
battling
saying
I,
don't
want
it
on
my
side,
because
I
don't
want
to
pay
the
50
yeah.
So
the
argument
then
was
this
serves
the
Entire
Computer,
the
community,
the
entire
block
and
everyone
that
uses
it.
So
it
should
be
shared.
You
know,
city-wide,
so
I
think
we
should
I'd
like
to
revisit
that
and.
D
A
G
Well,
yeah,
because
it
complicates
the
planning,
because
people
are
some,
some
people
might
like
it
see
it
as
an
asset
or
you
know,
improve
the
you
know
the
the
value
of
their
house
or
something
like
that,
but
other
people
might
not
want
to
assume
the
maintenance,
the
costs
everything
associated
with
it.
So.
B
And
you
know
like
the
way
that
we
do
roads
like
dot,
has
really
moved
to
a
preservation
first
model,
where
they're
trying
to
regularly
do
the
roads
like
we
do
so
that
you
don't
have
to
rebuild
the
whole
thing.
You
just
do
the
top
we're
so
far
off
from
that,
but
we
we
might
be
able
to
get
there.
One
of
the
things
lessons
I
would
take
out
of.
It,
though,
is
the
prioritization
of
what's
construct
of
maintaining
what's
constructed
rather
than
doing
new
construction.
B
We
have
so
many
already
constructed
sidewalks
that
are
in
disrepair,
I,
wouldn't
even
jump
like
I,
think
long
term.
You
do
want
to
fill
in
your
sidewalk
system,
but
I
I
think
unless
those
are
strategic
little
pieces
at
this
point,
you're
you're,
probably
better
off,
trying
to
replace
in
kind
what
you
have
there
right
and
upgrade.
F
I
F
G
A
Cautious
about
it
simply
because
you
know
it's
expensive
and
for
the
entire
city-
and
there
is
very
direct
benefit
usually
to
those
who
live
on
that
street
I
think
that
was
the
concept,
but
we
should
certainly
talk
about
it.
We're
not
going
to
finish
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
a
prioritization
tonight
right.
A
B
I
F
B
Pass
but
I'm
not
nice
about
it.
Oh
I
just
go
and
grind
them.
No
I
I'm,
just
joking
the
it's
mostly
based
on
complaint
and
based
on
claims,
so
somebody
trips
and
falls
it
it.
They.
Usually
the
liability
falls
to
the
adjacent
owner,
but
they
still
sue
the
city,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
I
wanted
to
do.
The
grinding
on
Main
Street,
like
we
know
we're
gonna
get
sued
anyway,
any
any
because
we're
the
deep
pocket.
B
F
K
And
I
think
this
might
be
more
for
Drew,
and
it's
in
regards
to
things
that
are
obstructing
sidewalks
that
aren't
necessarily
on
sidewalks
but
like
Hedges
and
trees
that
like
come
over
sidewalks
and
are
you
would
have
to
either
move
off
of
the
sidewalk
in
order
to
pass
it
or
you
have
to
like
really
Crouch
underneath
in
order
to
get
through.
Is
there
a
code
around
that
or
is
what's
our
situation.
E
That
goes
to
the
maintenance
of
the
sidewalk
as
well.
The
adjacent
property
owner
should
is
responsible
for
making
sure
that
the
sidewalk
is
accessible
and
can
be
walked
on
so
those
Hedges
should
be.
You
know,
cut
back
and
I
or
removed
I
guess
if
it's
impossible,
that
cut
it
back
enough,
so
the
city
should
be
made
aware
of
where
the
exists
or
that
we
could.
You
know,
proceed
as
appropriate.
B
Yeah
and
then,
if,
if
something's
blocking
our
signs,
that's
coming
off
private
property,
we
usually
just
clip
it
again.
It's
just
owner
is
trying
to
hunt
somebody
down
to
cut
two
branches.
So
we
just
go
in
and
clear
that,
but
we've
we've
gone
in
and
cleared
sidewalks
and
then
back
build
people
for
that.
K
Jumping
back
to
you,
mayor
where
you
said:
what
do
we
want
to
do
for
like
next
steps?
I
think
we
could
probably
all
agree
that,
like
long-term
goal
is
to
have
all
sidewalks
accessible
and
have
sidewalks
in
places
where
we
need
and
that's
not
going
to
happen
within
a
year
within
two
years.
That's
a
decades-long
project
but
I.
K
Think
as
a
council,
I
would
like
to
conceptualize
some
sort
of
long-term
plan
to
get
started
and
see
like
where
we
want
to
go
over
the
next
several
years
and,
of
course,
that's
something
that
can
change
but
like
it's
a
mix
of
needing
new
sidewalks
and
also
repairing
the
ones
that
we
have
and
figuring
out.
What
are
the
priorities
or
what
are
our
priorities
right
now,.
A
Yeah
and
I
think
that's
what
a
you
know
a
planner
would
want
to
do
is
take
the
Long
View
and
it
will
help
us
get
a
handle
on.
You
know
how
big
a
problem
are
we
talking
about
that?
Will
help
us
decide.
Oh,
how
do
we
do
costs
so
there's
a
lot
of
issues
that
that
get
solved
when
you
take
that
long
view
and
that's
what
I
certainly
would
like
our
planner
to
be
doing
so.
D
A
K
I
also
just
want
to
say
that
I
really
look
forward
to
hearing
the
Insight
of
fellow
council
members,
because
I
know
several
of
them
have
children
that
walk
the
streets
and
play
on
the
streets
and
know
where
things
might
be,
that
we
might
not
even
think
of
and
I'm
a
council
member
that
doesn't
have
a
car
and
so
I'm
walking
all
over
Beacon.
All
the
time
and
I
trip
frequently
I
should
sue
the.
F
K
K
A
I
E
Yeah,
so
this
mayor
exactly
correct
in
2018
the
planning
board
grants
and
final
subdivision
approval.
Now
they
have
to
name
the
rest
of
Townsend
Street.
The
city
code
requires
that
the
streets
be
named
for
the
continuation,
so
part
of
its
talented,
so
the
remaining
part
has
to
be
Townsend.
This
is
just
for
consistency.
It's
for
safety.
It's
for
you
know,
9-1-1,
to
understand
where
they're
responding
to
and
then
the
city
council
is
required
to
confirm
the
name
of
the
street
as
Townsend
Street.
But
again
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
discretion
here.
A
A
A
Arterial
was
built
which
routed
90
from
South
Avenue.
Over
there
there
was
a
one
block,
Long
street
named
Park,
Avenue
and
I'm
sitting
on
the
council,
and
you
said
9-1-1,
which
has
reminded
me
of
that.
So
for
9-1-1
they
were
insisting
on
renaming
streets
and
renumbering
streets,
and
so
my
you
know,
our
16
Park
Avenue,
our
neighbors
18
Park
Avenue,
were
changed
to
1076
Wolcott
10.8
Walcott,
with
a
single
no
vote
on
the
council
largely
smiling,
but
in
protest.
So
I'm.
K
D
B
D
B
B
D
C
B
B
You
know,
I
thought
it
was
worth
it
yeah
and
then
the
second
one
is
the
traffic
signs
that
we
talked
about
that
monitor
speed.
Again,
one
of
them
has
the
programmable
emojis.
The
other
one
is
a
conventional
sign.
We
did
have
enough
funds
in
contingency
to
buy
the
two
units,
so
they're
going
to
be
ordered
either
this
or
next
week,
so
that
we
can
get
them
out
and
thanks
for
being
flexible
and
not
putting
that
in
the
budget.
B
B
Yeah
and
and
a
hybrid
well,
we
have
two
hybrid
Ford
Explorers
or
called
the
Intrepid,
and
we
had
in
our
Capital
program,
two
more
electric
vehicles,
so
we're
we're
making
good
good
progress
on
that
and
if,
if
they
come
out
with
a
decent
package
for
the
patrol
cars
are
what
are
tough
because
they
get
really
beat
up
and
they
need
a
lot
of
power
and
oftentimes
they're
at
a
scene
for
a
long
time
running
their
lights
running
their
communication.
So
the
battery
life
is
still
an
issue
with
them.
