Description
The City of Beacon Council Meeting from September 25, 2023
A
A
All
right
so
first
opportunity
for
public
comments.
I
will
read
off
those
who
signed
up
and
then
anyone
else
would
be
welcome
to
do
it.
You've
got
three
minutes
on
any
topic.
You
like,
except
the
public
hearing.
We
do
have
a
public
hearing
which
concerns
six
Commerce
streets.
We
have
any
questions
about
that
hold
off,
but
other
than
that
you
can
have
any
comment
you
like,
and
the
first
person
is
Teresa
craft.
D
Good
evening
Teresa
craft
I
attended
last
week's
Village
of
fish
go
public
hearing
on
a
new
three-story,
seven
building
project
proposed
for
Jackson
and
Main
Street.
There
was
so
much
public
outcry
residents
in
the
pack,
Town
Hall
kept
saying:
don't
allow
the
over
development
to
go
through.
Please
don't
ruin.
Our
community,
like
Beacon,
has
all
the
while
our
former
building
inspector
was
sitting
at
that
board
table
in
discomfort
and
at
the
town
of
Fishkill
board
meeting
that
I
attended
that
week.
D
The
town
board
is
already
talking
about
Beacon's
plan
to
develop
and
build
out
the
current
Route
52
car
dealer
Corridor
with
high
density
housing
and
the
impact
it
will
have
on
their
already
battled
neck
roads
in
both
town
and
the
village
of
Fishkill
and
with
all
the
shared
infrastructure.
Schools
in
water
are
the
start.
I
believe
the
city
of
Beacon
should
be
put
on
put
the
brakes
on.
D
Do
another
comprehensive
plan,
get
public
input
and
hold
off
on
any
more
major
city
changes
that
will
have
a
lifetime
impact
until
we
get
a
new
Planner
on
board.
Most
of
you
ran
on
this
platform
of
stopping
over
development
and
that's
contrary
to
what
we've
witnessed
since
this
beginning
of
this
current
Council.
Thank
you.
E
Hello,
my
name
is
Katie
helmet,
chair
of
the
spirit
of
Beacon
day
due
to
the
tropical
storm
that
advanced
on
Saturday.
We
made
a
very
difficult
decision
to
postpone
it
to
the
following:
Sunday
October
1st.
We,
the
committee,
want
to
thank
the
people
of
Beacon
who
are
ready
to
come
out
in
the
rain
and
to.
B
E
Performers,
who
were
also
ready
to
perform
in
the
rain
while
it
rained
on
the
parade
last
year,
it
was
sunny-ish
before
and
after
the
following
weekend
of
the
rain
date,
was
actually
worse
weather.
We
didn't
want
that
to
happen
again,
even
though
there
was
sunshine
on
the
following
Sunday.
This
time
the
forecast
was
flickering
when
the
weather
forecast
was
getting
worse.
On
Wednesday,
we
checked
with
all
of
our
contract
vendors
to
see
if
they
could
continue
to
the
next
weekend
and
what
the
financial
hit
would
be.
E
While
the
forecast
showed
some
rain
next
weekend,
we
stayed
the
course,
but
the
weather
worsened
on
Saturday.
We
started
hearing
from
people
who
were
packing
extra
tents
to
keep
the
kids
covered
in
any
kid
activity.
We
checked
with
different
organizations
to
get
a
read
on
the
parents
and
the
kids,
and,
as
the
wind
blew
we
made
the
decision
to
postpone.
We
didn't
know
how
bad
Sunday
would
be,
but
the
risk
was
not
worth
it
to
us.
Given
that
we
had
everything
in
place
for
the
following
weekend,
we
moved
very
quickly
to
alert
everyone.
E
We
want
to
thank
Lieutenant
Jason
Walden
for
being
at
the
ready
to
take
our
phone
call
on
Saturday
and
immediately
alert
police
and
Highway
departments
we're
prepared
to
take
the
financial
hit
of
our
rentals,
but
our
vendors
have
been
very
kind
and
generous
to
us.
We
want
to
thank
our
Porta-Potty
company
Herring
for
leaving
the
bathrooms
in
place.
Thank
you,
Durants
for
charging
us
only
a
little
extra
to
leave
the
stage
in
place.
Thank
you,
Dutchess
County,
for
giving
us
the
bus
to
Route
people
from
the
train
station
to
Main
Street
from
11
to
4..
E
Thank
you
to
all
our
430..
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
performers
for
being
available
again
table
vendors
have
been
amazing,
most
are
still
coming
and
we
just
got
a
new
sign
up,
most
importantly,
the
school's
ptas
ptos
parents
and
kids.
You
were
ready,
then,
and
you
said,
a
big
yup
when
we
rescheduled.
In
fact,
one
of
the
first
texts
I
received
was
thank
you
now.
If
only
soccer
would
cancel
regarding
the
farmers
market
closing,
so
that
the
DMV
parking
lot
can
be
available.
E
The
Farmers
Market
and
the
beacon
flea
vendors
take
a
large
Financial
loss
when
the
market
closes
with
a
spirit
of
Beacon
day,
as
is
in
their
contracts
for
this
rain
date,
the
city
of
Beacon
has
agreed
to
let
both
markets
be
open
in
their
parking
lots.
This
is
huge,
and
everyone
should
tell
your
friends
to
park
at
the
MTA
train
station
to
use
a
free
bus
which
will
come
every
25
minutes
next
year.
Both
markets
should
continue
to
be
open,
as
they
are
a
huge
enhancement
to
the
city
of
Beacon.
E
For
those
vendors
the
weekend
markets
cover
some
of
their
payrolls,
so
they
need
to
stay
open.
We
tried
to
reconfigure
them
in
a
map
within
the
spirit
of
beacon
block,
but
the
nature
of
the
refrigerated
Vans.
Several
of
the
vendors
need
to
resupply
their
inventory
and
they
really
need
to
stay
in
the
same
parking
lot
spot.
Regular
customers
can
find
them
easier.
Also,
thank
you
to
the
spirit
of
vegan
committee.
We
are
blessed
to
have
each
other
and
keep
each
other
calm
and
ask
good
questions
as
we
sort
out
logistics.
F
G
B
F
The
larger
environment
that
is
Beacon
needs
to
have
a
community
review
where
views
are
expressed,
debated
and
fought
over
because
we
need
to
be
mature
enough
to
Discord
is
the
strength
of
America
because
you
are
granted.
The
blessing
of
leadership
does
not
give
you
the
blessings
of
royalty
engagement.
B
A
I
The
past
several
weeks
and
I
have
lived
there
for
almost
35
years
and
I
have
concerns
I
look
every
day
at
a
beautiful
mountain
which
I
have
heard
four
stories
mentioned,
and
that's
gone
not
only
for
me,
but
for
anybody
who
comes
into
the
the
that
Corridor
coming
in
from
Fishkill
I
have
major
concerns
of
the
view
sheds
and
it's
not
just
a
sliver
I
mean
anybody
walking
on
the
sidewalk
in
Fishkill
Avenue,
between
Conklin
and
and
Townsend.
It's
an
amazing
view.
I
Mill
Street,
that's
another
amazing
view
shed
and
to
even
put
more
even
the
35
feet
is
too
high
to
cover
the
views
that
people
could
see.
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
and
wonder
if
this
Council
should
maybe
have
more
of
the
input
from
the
county
and
from
neighboring
communities
before
they
make
a
decision
that
this
is.
This
is
a
big
decision
that
looking
back
at
two
comprehensive
plans,
there
is
hardly
any
mention
of
this
area.
I
I
have
concerns,
and
this
area
is
just
an
amazing
area
to
look
at
the
views.
There's
a
lot
of
issues
in
this
area,
but
those
views
make
up
for
it.
The
there's
50
residential
homes,
single
family
in
this
neighborhood
and
I,
am
against
them
pulling
any
of
those
single-family
properties
into
this
Zone
that
are
on
meat,
Avenue
there's
at
least
seven.
One
is
two
away
from
me
that
all
these
years,
that
owner
has
known
it
is
residential
single
family.
I
B
I
The
residence
is
a
huge
concern
losing
the
natural
beauty
of
the
mount
Beacon
due
to
the
buildings
blocking
what
beautiful
views
we
have
between
Townsend
and
Conklin,
and
around
Mill
Street
will
be
devastating
and
I
question
drive-throughs
gas
station
and
car
washes
that
they
would
be
an
issue
with
noise
throughout
that
area.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
Shelly
Blumenthal
and
I've
lived
on
Conklin
Street
for
14
years
and
I'm
here
to
provide
comments
on
the
proposed
Fishkill
Avenue.
Rezoning
I
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
all
the
members
of
city
council
who
have
already
had
so
much
thoughtful
discussion
about
the
opportunities
presented
to
us
with
the
sale
of
the
Healey
property
on
Route
52.
J
I'm,
truly
excited
about
the
ways
that
the
sale
of
this
property
presents
us
with
an
opportunity
to
consider
and
discuss
what
comes
next
in
this
area
of
Beacon
that
my
neighbors
and
I
love
so
much
to
begin
I'm
personally
in
favor
of
a
rezoning
of
this
important
area.
But
I
would
Advocate
that
our
Council
not
rush
into
rezoning
without
a
planning
process
that
is
as
Democratic
and
inclusive
of
the
concerns
of
community
members,
as
our
City's
comprehensive
plan
requires
us
to
be
I'm
here
tonight.
J
To
ask
that
that,
in
the
council's
deliberations
about
Fishkill
Avenue,
please
continue
to
consider
the
following
concerns.
One
please
think
broadly
about
how
this
neighborhood
fits
into
the
larger
picture
of
the
city
of
Beacon,
including
such
important
things
as
the
proposed
rail
trail.
Our
need
to
protect
the
Fishkill
Creek
environment
and
how
this
area
of
Beacon
will
connect
in
the
future
to
development
at
Camp
Beacon.
Please
don't
rush
into
rezoning
that
fails
to
consider
these
significant
issues.
J
Two,
please
do
not
allow
this
part
of
Beacon
to
become
yet
another
area
where
developers
get
rich
by
only
putting
in
apartments
that
the
average
beaconite
cannot
afford
to
rent
or
buy
any
residential
use
that
is
permitted
in
a
rezoning
should
incentivize
housing
units
that
are
affordable
to
people
who
already
live
in
Beacon.
Three
I've
been
speaking
to
many
of
my
neighbors,
and
we
object
strongly
to
the
inclusion
of
the
parcels
on
Mead
Avenue
that
are
currently
zoned.
J
Residential
are
1-5
in
the
new
Fishkill
Avenue
Zone
Mead
Avenue
is
a
quiet
residential
street
with
27
homes,
and
these
spacious
spaces
should
remain
residential
spaces.
Please
leave
these
Parcels
out
of
the
rezoned
Fishkill
Avenue
District
Four.
As
Pam
said,
there
are
beautiful
mountain
views
in
this
area
of
Fishkill
Avenue
and
they
should
be
preserved.
Please
ensure
that
rezoning
protects
the
mountain
views
that
can
be
enjoyed
by
everyone
in
Beacon
from
this
area
and
include
height
limits
on
any
new
building.
J
I
believe
that
we
have
a
rare
opportunity
to
come
together
as
a
community
and
work
together
to
say
what
our
hopes
and
dreams
are
for
a
neighbor
that
neighborhood
that
we
can
all
share
and
enjoy.
My
hopes
and
dreams
do
not
include
dense
luxury
housing
chain.
Restaurants
with
drive-throughs
or
naughty
noisy
Automotive
uses
that
my
neighbors
can
hear
through
their
bedroom
windows.
Let's
not
waste
this
chance
to
make
this
part
of
Beacon
more
beautiful,
welcome,
15.
K
Hi
Thomas
Wright,
24
Grove
Street
just
want
to
make
a
quick
announcement
about
an
event
that
will
be
taking
place
at
the
rec
center
on
Center
Street
next
Wednesday
October
4th
from
17
30.
It
is
an
electrification
education
event,
sort
of
brought
to
you
by
Community
quarterly,
been
working
with
Dan
I'm,
our
Blair
and
Paloma
wakay.
To
prepare
a.
K
B
K
B
A
B
A
H
A
C
C
Initially,
it
was
a
single
family
home
which
is
not
allowed
in
the
CMS
District,
but
there
has
been
a
change
or
proposed
change
of
use
in
the
property,
and
so
this
would
be
consistent
with
surrounding
properties.
This
recommendation
has
already
been
recommendations
have
already
been
provided
by
the
city
planner,
the
city
planning
board,
as
well
as
the
county
of
Beacon
Although,
our
County
I'm,
sorry
County
of
Duchess,
which
said
that
the
this
was
a
matter
of
local
concern.
A
C
D
Teresa
Kraft,
my
stance
on
the
zone
change
is
against
it.
It
sets
a
precedent
and
Beacon
to
switch
residential
and
Commercial
zones
without
difficulty.
We
know
the
applicant
jumped
the
gun
and
the
commercial
space
had
a
soft
opening.
We
saw
it.
I
am
opposed
to
this
rezone
for
multiple
reasons.
One
is
the
properties
across
the
parcel
on
Commerce.
Street
will
have
a
hard
time
to
sell
or
build
residential
housing
in
the
future,
who
would
want
to
live
across
from
a
commercial
store
or
without
a
doubt,
a
restaurant?
D
It's
stated
in
the
planner's
letter
that
the
city
is
under
no
obligation
to
Grant
this
rezoning
request.
The
planning
board's
endorsement
didn't
sway
all
of
its
planning
board
members
and
again
there's
the
lack
of
parking
and
the
city's
answer
is.
They
could
use
the
same
municipal
building
and
County
Center
and
the
plan
Firehouse
public
lot,
but
isn't
that
exactly
where
the
prophecy
Hall
is
placing
all
of
their
influx
of
traffic
and
parking?
Oh
right,
it's
a
walking
City.
D
A
F
Vision
of
the
city
loose
language,
such
as
the
fiscal
District,
where
no
development
occur
near
the
water,
are
subject
to
arbitrary
concepts
of
what
is
permissible
and
what
is
not
would
be
an
example,
but
it
doesn't
stop
there.
It's
it's
like.
If
we
go
back
a
couple
years,
we
look
at
the
isolated
proposition
of
the
CVS
opposite
the
police
station.
F
B
F
F
F
Been
County
planners
and
then
we
have
our
counter
planning
a
legacy
between
two,
a
particular
individuals
that
go
back
to
the
early
70s
when
land
use
planning
first
evolved
once
again
since
for
the
first
time
since
Al
Smith
in
1926,
and
and
so
we
have
this
movement
in
the
70s
the
to
have
Master
plans.
And
here
we
go
from
there.
The
point
is:
is
that
we've
become
stagnant
without
having
the
deeply
rooted
intellectual
economic
framework
that
an
appraiser
brings
to
the
highest
and
best
used
equation?
F
B
F
May
be
bad
decisions
made
several
years
ago,
and
it
will
then
we'll
have
a
desert
not
only
as
a
food
desert,
but
we'll
have
a
pharmacy.
Does
it
it's
appropriate
that
in
relationship
despite
zoning,
that
you
could
tell
it
as
much
as
possible,
but
I
do
recognize
the
Impractical
reality
that
you
might
as
well
approve
this
particular
instance.
Thank.
B
H
A
H
Good
evening,
everyone
I
want
to
thank
Katie
helmuth
and
all
those
involved
with
the
spirit
of
Beacon
day
for
persevering
to
another
weekend
and
I
fingers
crossed
that
the
weather
looks
ends
up
being
as
lovely
as
it
appears
right
now
on
all
the
weather
apps
that
I'm
checking
for
next
Sunday.
For
those
of
you
who
are
aware
that
we
have
a
cannabis
showcase
now
here
in
Beacon
called
the
station,
and
our
mayor
may
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
it
because
he
got
chance
to
be
part
of
the
opening
ceremony
before
it
was
past.
H
Friday
I
bring
it
up
just
to
mention
that
for
those
who
have
any
questions
about
this
or
notice,
any
Behavior
want
to
learn
more
about
it,
that
this
location
is
actually
controlled
by
the
state.
So,
while
you're
welcome
to
bring
your
comments
and
questions
to
the
city
council
that
the
state
has
a
line
for
anything
and
if
you
go,
they
have
a
whole
website
about
it.
Cannabis,
c-a-n-n-I-a-b-I-s,
dot,
new
york.gov
and
you
can
register
anything
there.
There's
something
actually
the
state
is
in
charge
of
I
will
say.
H
I
personally
am
really
excited
to
see
this
big
law
that
was
Past
come
through
fruition
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
that
the
community
be
part
of
making
sure
that
it
plays
out
exactly
as
we
would
like
it
to,
and
it's
great
to
see
someone
who
was
already
involved
in
the
community
bringing
this
forth.
H
The
other
thing
I
want
to
bring
up
is
that
starting
in
or
really
ending
in
late
August,
we
were
talking
about
affordable
housing
and
I
appreciate
we've
switched
our
Focus
to
Fishkill
Avenue,
because
that
seems
to
be
a
more
pressing
need
and
also
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
return
to
that
at
some
point.
Some
things
there
were
some
talks
about
Beacon
housing
authority
and
the
county
lot.
The
DMV
just
wanted
to
see
if
there's
any
updates
around
there.
There
was
also
some
talk
about
some
parking
minimums.
H
If
we
wanted
to
tie
that
to
affordability
or
general
in
the
city,
if
that's
something
we
wanted
to
bring
up,
we
brought
it
up
and
I
wasn't
sure
where
we
are
with
that
so
see.
If
that's
something,
the
council
has
any
thoughts
on
collectively
and
then
also
is
this
idea
of
inclusionary
zoning
and
the
idea
of
an
overlay,
be
it
tied
to
senior
affordability,
which
are
maybe
larger
issues
that
we're
not
quite
sure
of
our
full
next
steps.
Some
of
that
might
take
some
more
time.
H
L
On
to
Ren,
thank
you,
molly,
I'm,
so
glad
that
you
brought
that
up
about
affordable
housing.
Again.
I
also
would
love
to
continue
that
discussion
and
remind
ourselves
what
our
next
steps
were.
I
know
we
were
going
to
have
the
county
in,
and
then
we
were
going
to
look
at
maybe
having
other
Professionals
in
to
talk
to
us
about
different
kinds
of
of
housing.
But
I
also
would
like
to
continue
that
discussion
and
I
think
it
could
also
inform
the
rezoning
and
the
community
discussion
around
rezoning.
L
I
really
appreciate
those
of
you
who
came
out
tonight
to
talk
about
the
Fishkill,
rezoning
and
I
would
urge
everyone
in
the
community
to
speak
up
if
you're,
not
comfortable.
Speaking
up
at
a
city
council
meeting,
send
us
a
note.
We
will
read
it
and
as
the
process
moves
forward,
we'll
take
all
of
these
thoughts
into
consideration.
L
Thank
you
to
for
the
I
Echo,
the
thanks
to
the
spirit
of
Beacon,
Katie
and
all
of
the
other
volunteers,
for
your
work
in
in
reconvening
for
the
first
I
will
be
out
of
town,
so
I
wore
my
t-shirt,
I
thought
about
wearing
my
baseball
cap,
but
I
thought
you
might
not
be
able
to
see
my
face
so
I'll
be
putting
that
on
to
keep
my
face
out
of
the
rain
anyway.
But
the
swag
is
great.
So
that's
another
way,
I
think
to
support
the
spirit
of
Beacon
day.
L
If,
like
me,
for
some
reason,
you
can't
participate.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
a
Community
member
and
be
back
volunteer
who
brought
to
my
attention
the
Senate
Bill
s,
1466
that
has
been
signed
by
the
Senate
and
the
assembly
it
has
passed
and
is
waiting
for
the
governor
to
sign
authorizing
payments
to
non-participating
or
non-preferred
providers
of
ambulance
services
licensed
under
Article
13
of
the
public
health
law.
L
It
is
the
opinion
of
this
Community
member
that
this
would
be
helpful
to
our
volunteers
at
bevac
and
urged
me
myself
to
look
at
and
urge
the
governor
to
sign
this
bill,
and
perhaps
this
is
something
that
all
of
us
on
the
city,
council
and
all
of
us
listening
in
tonight
could
take
a
look
at
it
again.
It's
s,
1466,
and
if
you
agree
that,
like
our
volunteers
that
the
governor
should
be
signing
this
now,
then
please
call
an
urger
to
do
so.
Thank
you.
M
I
know
three
minutes
isn't
a
lot
of
time
to
get
a
lot
of
information
and
even
writing
an
email
can
not
quite
get
the
full
scope
of
what
what
you
want
to
say
so
I
am
I,
do
hope
to
find
time
to
to
speak
further,
and
in
that
vein,
I
did
have
to
cancel
my
last
scheduled
office
hours,
because
I
was
sick,
but
I
will
be
releasing
new
office
hour
times
later
this
week
via
the
city
website
or
my
social
media.
So
please
hope
to
keep
the
conversation
going.
G
All
right
a
couple
key
dates
and
announcements,
so
my
office
hours
will
be
for
the
month
of
October
will
be
the
third
Sunday
which
is
October,
15th
and
I'll,
be
at
tracks
at
one
East
Main
from
10
to
12..
So
if
you
want
to
discuss
anything,
come
on
down
as
Thomas
Wright
mentioned
earlier,
we
have
an
event
on
October
4th
at
the
Beacon
Rec
Center
called
how
do
I
Electrify.
G
This
is
an
event
where
you
can
learn
all
the
steps
to
electrifying
your
home
and
how
to
take
advantage
of
the
all
the
money
and
credits
that
are
available
out
there.
So
that'll
be
the
October
4th
Wednesday
October
4th
from
7
to
8
30
at
the
Beacon
rec
center
and
I'll
just
say
that
the
event
that
we
had
in
the
early
summer
this
year
got
I
got
all
this
information,
and
my
wife
and
I
were
able
to
take
the
first
steps
in
electrifying
our
home
from
the
first
session.
G
G
The
the
federal
lead
and
copper
rule
revisions
went
into
effect
two
years
ago
and
as
part
of
that
law,
it
necessitates
that
all
that
all
Municipal,
not
just
municipalities
but
all
water
districts
or
anybody
supplying
water,
conducts
a
lead
service
line
inventory
to
to
document
how
many
service
lines
throughout
the
municipality
are
made
of
lead,
which
of
course,
is
toxic
and
leads
to
severe
effects
in
in
humans
and
I'm.
Not
sure
if
that
report
is
is
underway
yet
because
it's
not
due
until
October
2024.
But
it's
a
it's
something.
G
That's
very
important
to
me
and
and
I'd
like
to
know
if,
when
that
work
begins
or
reaches
any
key
Milestones,
if
we
could
just
get
a
presentation
on
how
it's
going
here
at
city,
council
and
then
lastly,
you
may
have
received
this
postcard
annual
drinking
water
report
and
this
postcard
every
year
reminds
me
that
I
think
we
can
do
better
with
communicating
to
the
public
and
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
something
that's
mandated
by
the
state
or
the
county.
G
But
when
I
get
when
I
get
a
postcard
and
it
doesn't
have
the
information
on
it
and
it
tells
you
how
to
go
get
the
information
it
usually
makes
me
feel
like
something's
being
hidden
and
it's
not
because
our
drinking
water
is
great
in
Beacon.
What
it
means
to
me,
though,
is
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
do
better
with
communicating
with
the
public
and
I
think
one
of
the
key
ways
of
doing
that
is
with
print
I.
A
Thank
you
all.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
thank
yous.
I
just
want
to
offer
a
couple,
so
I
just
am
very
appreciative
for
the
all
the
volunteers
for
Spirit
of
Beacon.
Thank
you
very
much
and
then
for
people
providing
input,
whether
it's
on
this
particular
public
hearing
or
some
of
the
zoning
that
we're
thinking
through
I'm,
very
attentive
to
your
views
and
I'm
very
interested
in
them,
and
please
feel
free
to
speak
up.
A
If
you
want
to
reach
out
separately,
I'm
happy
to
do
that,
because
I'm
not
sure
that
we
all
have
I,
don't
want
to
speak
with
the
council
but
I.
This
is
an
interesting
area
and
I'm
not
sure
we
have
all
clear
views,
and
so
hearing
input
is
really
important
and
I'm
very
appreciative
of
that.
That's
all
I
got
City
minister.
N
B
N
When
we
implement
the
meter
upgrades,
part
of
that
is
determining
where
the
service
lines
might
still
be
led.
So
we
already
have
the
gis
framework
for
mapping
that
and
we'll
be
filling
data
in
as
we
go
forward,
so
we're
well
along
I
think,
probably
in
the
first
or
second
quarter
next
year
we
could
have
the
superintendent
of
water
come
and
give
you
an
update
on
where
we
stand
on.
Thank
you
so
much
Chris.
That's
all
I
have
here
a.
N
We
may
be
announcing
that
we
we've
been
waiting
on
inventory
of
the
mxu
units
that
have
to
go
in.
It
looks
like
we
may
make
an
announcement
in
two
weeks
about
targeting
our
first
Ward
I.
Think
we're
going
to
do
it
in
four
parts,
because
we
can't
get
the
entire
inventory
at
one
time.
Okay,
great
so
I'll
give
you
advance
notice
and
and
we'll
publicize
it
at
the
city
council
meeting,
but
we're
still
waiting
for
the
go.
A
H
C
I'd
be
happy
to
so.
The
mayor
is
correct.
This
is
just
corrections
to
the
local
zoning
code
that
were
pointed
out
to
us
from
the
city
planner.
One
of
them
includes
the
deletion
of
the
parking
overlay
district.
There
is
only
two
references
in
the
City
Zoning
code
to
that,
and
that
is
in
the
zoning
map
and
also
an
establishment
District.
C
So
it
doesn't
really
actually
have
any
function,
and
then
there
are
some
other
corrections
to
update
and
make
consistent
with
the
zoning
regulations
and
what
are
they
yeah
and
then
there's
also
some
updates
that
were
unfortunately
made
previously
with
previous
local
laws
and
then
another
subsequent
local
law
was
passed,
which
failed
to
include
that
update.
And
So
It
reversed
back,
and
so
this
local
law
is
making
corrections
to
that
foreign.
H
That
was
one
of
my
questions
as
to
why
it
was
four
weeks
and
not
two
weeks
so
I
appreciate
that
clarification
about
needing
time.
I'm
also
curious,
I
noticed
in
the
packet
that
I
think
there
is
are
the
pictures
that
are
in
the
descriptions
of
the
standards
or
those
new
Christian.
Do
you
happen
to
know.
C
N
A
Okay,
any
other
comments
or
concerns
all
right,
so
all
in
favor
we're
setting
a
public
hearing
on
this
particular
local
law
of
various
corrections
to
the
zoning
code
for
October
23rd,
say
aye,
aye
aye.
Anyone
opposed
next
item
are
some
budget
amendments.
Do
I
get
a
motion
in
a
second
to
prove,
approve
the
Amendments
that
are
proposed
and
we'll
have
Chris
take
us
through
them.
A
N
As
we
discussed
last
week's
Workshop,
we
have
one
budget
amendment
proposed
for
the
sewer
fund
and
three
for
the
general
fund.
The
one
in
the
sewer
fund
is
to
transfer
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
from
our
contingency
fund
to
overtime,
as
we
discussed
we're
trying
to
staff
overnight
when
we
have
these
torrential
rains
to
make
sure
that
the
plant
is
functioning.
N
We
also
had
a
couple
vacancies
earlier
in
the
year
and
we're
covering
those
shifts
through
overtime,
the
Second
Amendment
to
is
to
the
general
fund,
and
that
is
for
repair
of
equipment
for
two
pieces
of
apparatus
in
our
Highway
Department,
the
leaf
vacuum
truck
and
the
backhoe.
This
would
transfer
twenty
thousand
dollars
from
contingency
to
repair
of
equipment
and
Highway.
N
The
third
amendment
is
relates
to
our
recycling
cost.
We
we
pay
two
costs
for
recycling.
One
is
a
pickup
charge
which
we
pay
to
Royal,
and
then
we
pay
a
disposal
cost
for
Republic,
which
is
the
recycling
facility
on
Route
52.
As
we
discussed
last
week,
the
market
for
the
end
products
have
basically
collapsed,
so
we're
now
paying
for
recycling
that
at
one
point
we
were
paid
for
and
the
price
that
we
paid
has
gone
up
substantially
so
to
get
through
the
year.
N
We
would
propose
to
move
sixty
one
thousand
dollars
from
contingency
to
recycling
charges
and
the
last
one
is
a
pass
through
where
our
Recreation
Department
saw
that
there
was
a
child
care
worker
bonus
in
the
governor's
budget.
And
so
what
this
would
do
is
take
state
aid,
that's
associated
with
that
and
pass
that
through
to
worker
bonuses
for
staff
that
work
on
our
after
school
program
and
that's
in
the
amount
of
11
142
dollars.
A
D
A
A
G
I,
just
throw
in
one
quick
thing:
Lee
Yes!
It
just
struck
me
tonight
that
when
we
were
discussing
the
local
laws
and
resolutions
that
you
asked
if
there
was
anything
that
we
wanted
to
discuss
and
nobody
said
anything
and
just
be
go
ahead
and
vote
for
people
who
might
be
coming
to
this
meeting
for
the
first
time.
We
actually
do
have
a
discussion
about
these
things,
but
they're
at
the
workshop
the
week
prior.
G
A
Yes,
thanks
Dan
yeah
absolutely
so
we
go
through
all
of
these
in
our
Workshop
the
the
week
before
that's
our
informal
meeting
and
we
try
to
provide
enough
information
because
we've
heard
it
once
and
so
to
at
least
give
people
a
sense
of
what
the
topic
is
about.
But
we
may
not
always
have
the
same
conversation
twice
so
yeah,
absolutely.
