We'll
come
back
around
to
that
one.
We'll
start
off
with
rl's
23-66
and
68
Chief
Gardner
floor
is
yours.
D
D
This
is
an
ordinance
to
accept
the
state
municipalities
grant
for
the
purchase
of
turnout
gear.
We
were
awarded
150
000
for
for
turnout
gear.
D
You
may
or
may
not
know
our
geared
ages
out
at
at
10
years
and
we
have
to
get
rid
of
it
and
replace
it,
and
a
lot
of
it
is
approaching
that
age.
So
this
is
very
timely.
These
grants
are
kind
of
hard
to
come
by,
but
this
is
through
Dental
Opera's
office
and
very
appreciative.
B
Related
to
date
for
the
grant
or
anything
like
that,
yeah.
Thank
you.
Chief
Council
discussion,
councilwoman
Freeman.
E
D
It's
it's
gonna
purchase
like
helmets,
I'll
purchase,
gloves.
It's
all
special
firefighting
gloves
the
coats
and
the
pants
and
the
boots
are
basically
that's
a
turtle
instead
of
turnout
gear
and
they
they
run
about
3
500
to
4
000.
Now
a
set.
D
E
E
F
Wanted
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
having
us
at
the
fire
station
for
the
just
two
days
ago
and
what
great
experience
we
appreciate,
the
you
know
welcoming
and
certainly
feeling
very
proud
for,
having
any
part
of
play
and
that
what
a
great
facility-
and
you
know.
D
D
F
G
Thank
you.
So
this
is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
sale
of
183
Water
Street
to
the
Water
Street
local
Development
Corporation,
that
is
the
site,
that's
being
developed
into
the
new
parking
garage
next
to
Boscov's.
E
Thank
you,
president
Guernsey
hi
Rachel.
How
are
you
good?
How
are
you
good
who
owns
this
property
right
now,
the
city,
the
city,
okay,
so
the
city,
even
though
the
or
okay
I'm?
So
sorry,
the
Water,
Street
local,
Development
Corporation.
Is
that
not
a
city
that
is
a
city
committee
right,
yeah,.
G
So
it's
the
right
word:
they
call
it
Blended
component
with
the
city.
So
it's
the
LDC,
which
is
kind
of
like
the
bldc
same
basic
Blended
component
structure,
I.
G
Yeah,
so
that's
a
sale
for
a
dollar
and
it
just
transfers
the
property
to
the
LDC
gotcha.
B
B
H
H
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
overview
and
let
our
our
engineer
professional
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this,
but
essentially
this
has
to
do
with
the
Memorial
Bridge
Project,
and
what
I
wanted
to
emphasize
is
that
the
scope
of
what
we're
looking
to
get
approved
tonight
relates
to
sort
of
a
phase
one
of
design,
Community
engagement,
which
is
going
to
be
critical
as
part
of
this
process
and
a
lot
of
analysis,
which
includes
traffic
analysis
of
these
intersections
of
that
bridge,
to
determine
what
is
possible.
H
The
biggest
thing
that
we
want
to
get
out
of
this
first
phase
is:
what
do
the
numbers
tell
us
about
traffic
flows,
both
pedestrians,
cyclists
as
well
as
vehicles,
and
you
know
what
is
possible
for
that
bridge.
We're
not
making
the
bridge
wider,
we're
not
making
it
longer
we're
we're
using
the
existing
geometry,
and
we
will
be
guided
by
the
Numbers.
We're
not
going
to
do
something
that
inhibits
traffic
to
Lourdes
Hospital
makes
wait
times
unnecessary
on
Riverside
driver
Front
Street.
H
So
this
part
of
the
process
is
really
in
important
to
guide
the
future
final
design,
which
will
will
conduct
this
year.
As
well
as
part
of
a
second
phase,
but
I
just
want
to
make
clear
that
that's
what
this
is.
Certainly
city
council
will
have
ample
opportunity
to
provide
feedback
to
attend.
These
meetings.
Take
the
survey
that
we
plan
and
again
this
is
all
in
the
the
goal
and
vision
of
reimagining
the
memorial
Street
Bridge.
H
Excuse
me:
Memorial,
Bridge
to
be
friendly
for
pedestrian
cyclists
and
and
really
slow
down
traffic
and
make
it
safer
for
people
that
are
that
are
coming
into
the
city
of
Binghamton
and
specifically
on
the
west
side.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over.
I
So,
to
build
on
phase
one
is
tasks
one
through
three,
so
the
provided
pamphlet
that
you
had.
We
did
provide
all
of
the
scope
ideas
based
on
the
total
project,
but
there
were
just
so
many
different
ways
based
on
the
decisions
and
the
outcomes
of
these
analysis
and
the
traffic
studies
and
whatnot.
It
was
just
basically
you
know
you,
you
couldn't
really
nail
down
the
exact
scope
and
it
was.
It
was
too
too
broad,
so
also
included
in
this
phase.
Is
the
community
engagement
portion,
so
we
would
hold
the
stakeholder
meetings.
I
We
would
also
do
this
Community
surveys.
We
would
also
reach
out
to
pod
and
get
their
initial
input,
as
well
as
the
shippo
initial
consultation.
So
we
can
know
what
type
of
process
and
length
of
process
and
that
shippo
is
going
to
require,
but,
based
on
this,
we
feel
confident
that
this
number
it
includes
everything
that
we
will
need
to
provide
three
renderings
for
the
city
to
make
that
decision.
Preliminary
cost
estimates
as
well
as
it's
a
good
opportunity
to
look
for
funding
sources.
I
So
at
this
point
you
can
look
for
the
funding
sources
and
apply
and
then
also
adjust
your
engineering,
based
on
the
funding
that
you're
going
to
get
whether
it's
with
Federal
funding,
State
funding,
and
you
know
they
all
have
requirements.
No,
that's
why
we
chose
this
location
for
phase
one
excellent.
F
A
quick
question,
and
how
long
are
we
looking
at
for
this
particular
phase
or
those
three
steps
to
be
completed
right.
I
So
it's
probably
about
four
months
everything
that
is
included
in
that
is
in-house
bergman's
able
to
do
we
we
could
try
to
get
out
and
be
a
little
bit
more
aggressive
with
it,
but
you're.
Looking
at
multiple
studies,
survey
alone,
you
know
to
go
out
there
and
to
do
that
takes
about
a
month
to
get
all
the
information
back
and
input
getting
the
utility
information
back
reaching
out
and
having
nice
that
respond
and
tell
you
where
things
are
located
so
about
a
four-month
process
from
Project
takeoff
to
having
your
concept
plans.
F
And
I
think
you
touched
on
it
a
little
bit.
What
will
the
community
engagement
or
feedback
look
like
yeah.
I
So
so
we
can
provide
like
QR
codes,
which
is
the
first
step.
So
that
way
anybody
can
have
like
a
certain
like
we'll
come
up
with
the
mayor
and
other
stakeholders
to
to
have
like
survey
questions,
so
that
will
just
be
a
broad
General,
we'll
put
those
out
to
local
businesses.
You
know
to
get
basic
input.
We
will
have
one
Community
engagement.
We
thought
maybe
at
the
Roberson
Museum
would
be
a
good
location
to
have
it
where
we
will
have
like
a
main
event
and
invite
people
to
come
in
person.
I
We
will
provide
the
renderings
and
and
and
whatnot
and
and
also
like
the
landscape,
architect
of
common
and
a
couple
other
planners
will
come
and
attend
that
as
well,
and
then
we
will
have
one-on-one
stakeholder
meetings.
So,
aside
from
the
city,
we
will
reach
out
to
like
the
local
people
who
are
close
by
so
maybe
like
the
people
who,
on
the
student
housing
there.
Roberson
will
be
one
of
them
and
see
what
it
is
that
they're
looking
for
and
having
this
type
of
amenity
close
by.
I
F
Okay,
so
just
last
question,
and
so
when
you
do
have
the
Community
engagement
event,
where
you're
actually
inviting
people,
so
the
the
stakeholders
thing
is
different.
So
how
do
who
do
you
invite
for
that
like?
How
do
you
reach
out
to
folks
for
that?
One
who
comes.
I
To
that,
how
do
you?
How
do
we
advertise
right
right
so
I
mean
you
can
do
social
media?
You
can
do
Flyers.
You
can
also
send
out,
like
like
student
emails,
because
there's
a
lot
of
student
housing.
That's
local!
Just
word
of
mouth
is
Big
on
the
Binghamton
City
website.
We
could
add,
we
would
advertise
on
there.
So
there's
lots
of
opportunities
so.
F
E
Thank
you,
president
Karen
G.
All
right
I've
got
a
few
questions.
The
first
one
is
how
was
Bergman
selected?
Was
there
an
RFQ
or
an
RFP
for
this.
H
Yes,
there
was
an
RFQ,
it
was
whittled
down
to
three
shortlisted:
firms
per
the
city,
Charter,
the
chair
of
the
Public
Works
committee,
said
and
on
those
interviews,
councilman
resonady,
and
there
was
a
scoring
that
was
done
and
Bergman
came
out
on
the
top.
E
Okay,
that's
great,
thank
you,
so
my
next
question
is
that
my
understanding
from
from
reading
this
proposal
is
that
the
the
bridge
is
structurally
sound
correct
that
there's
no
infrastructure
issues.
This
is
just
kind
of
I,
don't
want
to
say
just
Aesthetics,
because
it
is
functionality,
but
it's
an
it.
It's
not
dealing
with
the
core
like
structure
of
the
bridge.
Is
that
correct?
No.
E
It
Street-
okay,
yes,
okay
and
my
last
question
is
that
on
so
on
page
18
of
the
contract.
There's
the
summary
of
the
cost
estimate
there's
a
line.
That's
just
listed
as
expenses
and
that's
22
000.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
is
actually
included
in
that.
E
I
It's
basically
pavement
cores
asbestos
testing,
mileage
and
day
rates
for
the
people
who
are
coming
to
do
the
analysis
for
people
to
come
down
for
meetings
because
a
lot
of
our
team,
you
know
we
all
were
scattered
throughout
New
York
state,
so
we
do
mileage
for
that.
But
I
want
to
say
mostly
it
has
to
do
with
like
Transportation
testing,
so
I
can
provide
that.
I
E
B
I
To
kind
of
you
know
introduce
the
project
the
mayor.
Obviously
this
one
isn't
going
to
work
when
we
were
in
our
interview
with
there
needs
to
be
three
lanes.
That's
going
to
come
up,
you
know
when
we
do
our
analysis.
Those
type
of
things
are
going
to
come
up,
so
this
was
just
basically
okay.
J
Yeah
yeah
yeah,
yeah
and
I
was
looking
at
that
I
thought.
A
roundabout
at
Front
Street
would
would
settle
the
people
turning
right,
I.
J
Right
and
also
well,
this
isn't
the
rendering
it
doesn't
I
have
to
say,
but.
A
I
J
I
J
I
E
H
Got
digital
versions
of
this
that
maybe
we
can
we
can
Center
the
city
clerk
again.
This
was
just
one
design
showing
a
possibility
kind
of
getting
people
imagining
what
it
could
be
and
they
show
it
at
night
during
the
day
different
views.
So
it
just
shows
you
that
there's
a
lot
more
space
on
that
bridge
than
it
seems
because
of
the
two
lanes
of
traffic
in
each
Direction,
yeah.
E
B
B
A
B
K
H
H
Just
that
information
is
really
critical,
getting
as
many
vehicles
off
we're
looking
to
get
some
significant
snowfall,
maybe
the
biggest
storm
of
the
season.
So
just
wanted
a
quick
reminder.
You
can
push
that
info
out
any
questions.
You
know
how
to
reach
me.
Thank
you,
use
the
garbage
to
get
pushed
to
Wednesday.
That
was
Tuesday.
It's
just
going
to
be
suspended
for
for
this
week,.
B
You
that
being
said,
we'll
move
on
to
rl's
23,
58
and
59,
and
ask
Steve
Carson
to
please
join
us.
B
Callahan
president
of
the
cdac
is
joining
us
as
well.
L
So
a
couple
things
are
going
on
here,
so
we'll
do
the
home
ARP
first,
so
I
don't
tie
up
Marianne's
time
more
than
it
is
so
due
to
the
time
constraint
on
getting
this
done
too
HUD
by
the
end
of
this
month.
We're
kind
of
pushing
things.
I
have
been
ccing
city
council
in
the
mayor's
office,
so
everyone's
kind
of
on
board,
with
what's
going
on,
knows
what's
going
on.
L
Nothing
can
officially
be
approved
on
any
of
this
until
I
think
your
third
meeting
in
March,
which
I
think
is
28th
or
29th.
So
that
gives
some
time
in
there
for
people,
if
there's
any
issues
or
or
or
cause
of
concern,
but
regardless
the
Consultants
presented
to
cdac,
which
was
last
Wednesday
after
they
did
a
public
hearing.
L
L
So
at
this
point,
I'll
just
say
it.
Basically,
the
consultant
made
one
budget
recommendation
and
cdac
slightly
altered
that
budget
recommendation.
So
Marianne
is
here
to
talk
about
the
CD
EAC
version.
It's
not
different
enough
that
you
need
a
separate
budget
or
anything
like
that,
because
it's
just
the
CD,
it's
the
CDA
I
hate
to
say
just
it's
the
cdac
recommendation.
L
The
mayor's
office
was
informed
about
the
consultant's
decision
versus
the
cdac
and
went
ahead
and
said:
okay,
let's
go
with
what
the
consultant's
decision
was.
So
I
will
pass
this
over
to
Marianne
to
talk
about
as
much
of
the
process
as
possible,
as
well
as
the
difference.
M
I
want
to
say
first
that
my
colleagues
and
I
we,
we
really
grilled
the
consultant.
We
asked
for
definitions.
There
was
a
presentation
that
was
given
to
us
that
stated
things
like
trba
tbra,
non-supportive
Services.
We
asked
him
what
all
of
that
meant.
We
asked
him
what
he
meant
by
World
War
II
buildings
era,
buildings.
We
really
grilled
him
and
I
think
that
most
of
the
questions
were
answered
either
by
the
consultant
or
by
Steve,
who
actually
supplemented
his
information.
M
My
colleagues
wanted
to
be
more
specific
than
that,
so
they
took
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
Administration
acquisition
and
development.
I
have
to
put
my
glasses
on
for
this
one.
M
The
admin,
acquisition
and
development
of
non-congregate
shelters,
which
we
have
found,
has
a
broad
range
of
definitions
and
the
tibra
the
tenant-based
rental
assistance.
We
would
take
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
out
of
each
of
those
line.
Items
and
put
them
into
two
line
items
for
not
profit
or
operating
and
non-profit
capacity
building,
and
that
was
the
motion
that
passed
and
basically
that
was
it.
L
So
just
everyone's
aware,
the
C,
the
home
ARP
funding,
is
specifically
in
a
nutshell:
it's
it's
housing
for
individuals
that
are
at
risk
of
homeless
or
are
homeless.
That's
the
very
specific
aspect
of
this
funding.
So
that's
what
it's
supposed
to
be
used
for,
and
but
there
are
of
course
many
ways
to
get
to
that
end.
The
consultant
did
a
survey.
That
survey
is
still
open.
We
are
still
taking
public
comments.
L
We've
actually
had
the
Continuum
of
Care
involved
with
this
to
get
their
feedback
on
it.
The
consultant
has
reached
out
to
multiple
stakeholder
holders
in
the
area,
so
that's
kind
of
where
all
this
came
around
too.
So
after
cdac
made
the
recommendations
I
presented
both
numbers
to
the
mayor's
office,
the
mayor's
office
said
you
know,
let's,
let's
go
ahead
and
go
with
what
the
the
consultant
recommended-
and
that
is
the
budget
before
you
right
now
for
the
home,
arp.
E
Thank
you,
president
scrunchie
hello,
thank
you
for
being
here
so
I
I
do
have
a
few
questions,
so
I
was
able
to
attend
the
the
meeting.
I
was
the
one
member
of
the
public
who
said
something
because
you
all
know
I'll
always
say
something
so
I
will
I.
E
Maybe
it
was
an
an
illegal
rent
hike
or
something
like
that,
and
so
I
I
was
worried
that
the
landlord
is
asking
for
an
unreasonable
amount
of
money
and
is
then-
and
maybe
their
house
is
kept
up
to
code
and
everything,
but
then
they're
giving
them
the
money
that
they're
asking
for
and
it
kind
it
doesn't
really
fix
the
situation
of
the
landlord
asking
for
really
more
than
they
more
than
they
ought
to
be
and
I
know
it's
a
free
market,
I
I
personally,
don't
think
that
privatize
housing
is
the
best
way
to
go.
E
That's
a
whole
different
story,
but
the
the
consultant
was
able
to
explain
the
tenant-based
rental
assistance
isn't
always
like
a
direct.
E
E
I,
don't
know
that
I'm
sold
yet
on
having
the
The
Lion's
Share
the
the
largest
chunk
going
to
tenant-based
rental
assistance
that
that's
one
hesitation
I
have
it's
at
least
a
better
situation
than
I
initially
thought
it
was.
But
that
makes
me
a
little
bit
nervous.
I'm,
not
gonna
lie
to
you.
So
that's
that's
a
I
guess
a
comment.
L
Tibra
in
many
ways
can
be
thought
of
almost
acting
regulatory
as
the
same
as
Section
8
housing
assistance,
and
because
of
that
that
ensures
one
is
that
the
properties
are
up
to
a
minimum
standard.
The
hqs
standards,
which
is
not
the
best,
but
it
actually
can
be
better
than
many
of
the
apartments
in
the
area
and
number
two
properties
must
be
considered.
Rent
reasonable,
and
this
comes
back
to
the
market
rate
aspect
of
the
of
the
housing.
L
All
Section
8
units
are
the
same
way
and
Housing
Authority
has
to
abide
by
this
as
well
as
do
our
choto
properties
with
how
much
they
charge
so
yeah.
That's
that's
built
into
the
HUD
system
that
you
cannot
charge
more
than
essentially
the
going
rate
for
housing
in
the
area,
and
then
that
is
what
is
essentially
subsidized
an
amount
between
that
that
market
rate
and
the
amounts
that
the
whatever
your
program
is.
It
says
that
you
you
do
have
to
pay
which
I
believe
in
most
programs,
including
tibra,
will
be
I.
L
Think
30
of
your
income
has
to
go
towards
your
housing.
That's
the
reason.
They're,
getting
assistance
is
because
more
than
30
of
their
incomes
going
towards
housing.
So
we
we
knock
that
back
down
to
the
30
of
the
the
difference
in
the
subsidy.
So
the
there
is
that
inbuilt
mechanic
in
there
to
prevent
someone
from
gouging
like
you're,
saying,
okay,.
E
I
I
appreciate
that
information,
a
lot
that
does
assuage
some
more
of
my
concern.
I
think
that
you
know
the
the.
E
Root
of
where
I'm
coming
coming
from
is
that
I
I
feel
like
the
the
Hebrew
doesn't
get
at
the
root
of
the
issue
of
like
okay,
a
government
subsidy
is
going
to
a
private
lender
almost,
but
but
that
is
helpful
information,
and
thank
you
for
for
adding
that.
E
So
my
question
now
is,
since
the
the
budget
that
we're
looking
at
is
only
the
the
consultant
suggestion
without
the
change
that
feedback
suggested.
If
we
do
approve
this
plan,
it
would
not
have
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
change.
Is
that
correct,
correct,
okay,
I
understand,
of
course
the
consultant
has
some
level
of
expertise,
but
I
I
think
it
it
would
be
nice
to
have
you
know
the
the
cdac
is
comprised
of
representatives
from
all
over
the
city
and
I.
Don't
believe
that
the
consultant
is
local,
no.
E
Out
of
Atlanta
Georgia
so
I,
they
certainly
have
some
expertise
that
our
cdac
Representatives
don't
have,
but
I
also
think
it's
valuable
to
take
into
account.
The
suggestions
of
the
people
that
we
have
chosen
to
to
represent
our
district,
so
I
I
personally,
would
want
to
accept
the
budget
as
amended.
E
That's
just
my
my
personal
opinion.
I
know
it's
not
so
so
much
different
and
just
to
clarify
it
would
be
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
each
to
non-profit,
operating
and
non-profit
capacity
building.
Is
that
correct
that
that
was
the
addendum
that
was
or
the
amendment
that
was
suggested.
M
Yes,
the
amendment
that
actually
passed
is
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
operating
funds
for
a
not-for-profit
and
the
capacity
building
of
a
not-for-profit
and
as
a
personal
aside,
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
was
the
only
person
that
voted.
No,
there
was
one
abstention.
Everybody
else
voted
for
this.
My
feeling
is
that
fifty
thousand
dollars
is
not
enough
to
do
anything.
It's
not
enough
to
pay
for
a
director's
salary
and
benefits.
M
So
the
person
that
made
the
motion
indicated
that
this
was
a
good
faith
gesture
on
her
part
to
do
this,
and
everybody
voted
for
it
except
me,
because
I
feel
that
our
recommendations
need
to
be
very
practical
and,
in
my
personal
opinion,
this
one
is
not
mm-hmm.
That's
only
my
personal
opinion,
but
I
wanted
to
clarify
that.
E
Yeah
no
I
I
appreciate
you
sharing
that.
Thank
you,
yeah
I,
wonder
if
right,
non-profit,
operating
or
capacity
building
could
be
a
supplement
to
a
non-profit
that
is
already
operating
rather
than
certainly,
fifty
thousand
dollars
would
not
be
able
to
start
a
non-profit.
M
E
B
E
So
my
my
question
is
you
know
one
one
option
we
have
is
to
accept
the
budget,
as
is
another
option,
would
be
to
amend
it
in
the
way
that
the
CDA
fee
passed
and
a
third
option
I'm.
My
question
is:
is
this
a
viable
third
option?
Could
we
codify
that
suggestion
of
if
there's
money
left
over
in
these
lines,
it
must
be
allocated
toward
a
b
and
c?
Is
that
an
allowable
so.
B
Yeah,
so
so
good
question
on
that,
so
so
just
for
process
so
bless
all
of
the
members
of
the
cdac
and
Steve
for
all
the
the
work
that
they
do
right
at.
So
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they
are
a
recommending
body,
so
they
will
have
that
budget
that
they've
aggregated
based
on
all
of
their
knowledge
experience.
Everyone
they've
talked
to
public
hearings.
B
What
technically
happens
ordinally
from
that
point
is
the
cdac's
budget
recommendation
is
technically
a
budget
recommendation
to
the
mayor's
office,
and
then
the
mayor
will
review
it
and
have
his
input
and
ultimately,
what
we,
as
a
body
get
is
the
mayor's
budgetary
proposal
based
upon
the
recommendations
that
cdac
has
made
and
then
at
that
point
that
final
draft
version
of
what
we
get
will
either.
As
you
said,
a
be
voted
down.
B
Be
voted
for
or
c
a
proposed
amendment
could
be
made,
and
that
would
either
be
voted
up
or
down.
E
Right
so
would
it
be,
would
it
be
possible
to
codify
a
an
if
then
scenario
like
if
there
is
money
left
over
from
the
lines,
and
you
suggested
the
acquisition
and
development
line?
Is
that
correct.
M
Well,
the
money
that's
being
asked
to
change
to
be
allocated
into
is
the
acquisition
and
the
operating
from
the
acquisition
and
the
tibra
to
those
not-for-profit
funding.
The
other
suggestion
was
that
if
there
were
any
administrative
and
planning
fees
left
over,
so
there
were
two
distinct
IC
discussions.
E
G
M
But
the
discussion
was
because
Steve
pointed
out
that
this
city
is
very
very
good
at
at
allocating
and
doing
things
with
funding
290
000.
Some
odd
dollars
were
allocated
to
that
line.
Steve
indicated
during
the
course
of
the
whole
presentation
that
there
might
be
money
left
over
because
the
city
is
very
good
at
spending
its
money
wisely.
So
that's
when
the
discussion
began
about
what
to
do
about.
If
we
were
going
to
make
a
recommendation
to
change
this,
could
we
change
it
in
that
line?
E
B
E
B
No
absolutely
so.
The
answer
to
that
question
is
assuming
for
a
moment
that
mayor
cram's,
proposed
budget
100
reflects
what
the
cdac
moves
forward
at
that
moment
in
time.
If
you
so
chose,
you
could
propose
an
amendment
to
the
budget
to
move
n
number
of
dollars
from
line
X
to
Y
Line
y.
That
would
essentially
act
as
an
amendment
to
the
RL
itself.
That
would
have
to
be
voted
on
as
a
separate
question
and
then
once
if
that
passed
assuming
so
then
we
would
vote
on
a
motion
for
the
budget
as
Amendment
amended.
E
So
my
original
question
there,
then
is
there-
is
no
way
to
codify
an
if
then
scenario
and
I'm
not
saying
I
I
do
or
don't
want
to
do
that,
but
we
couldn't,
at
city
council,
approve
this
budget
with
an
asterisk
saying.
If
there
is
money
left
over
in
administration
and
planning,
this
money
must
go
to
that.
This
other
line.
B
Yeah
I
I
see
what
you're
saying
so
on
a
technicality.
Emotion
like
that
wouldn't
even
need
to
be
made
because
the
way
the
process
is
laid
out
ordinally,
we
are
actually
the
last
stakeholder
that
touches
the
budget,
so
you
wouldn't
even
need
an.
If,
then,
you
literally
could
just
make
a
motion
to
say:
I'd
like
to
amend
this
budget
to
again
move
n
dollars
from
line
X
to
line
Y
again,
assuming
that
there
were
extra
funds
there
right.
A
L
L
Any
changes
and
the
way
we
could
have
it
codified
in
our
assistant
Outreach
plan.
Any
changes
to
the
overall
type
of
funding
requires
city
council
approval
require
public
input
of
a
period,
I
think
a
minimum
15
days
with
a
with
an
ad
in
the
paper.
All
that
occurs
so,
for
example,
if
x
amount
is
put
into
admin
and
we
and
I
honestly
I,
don't
I,
don't
feel
that
we'll
spend
15
of
that
on
admin
but
we'll
see.
L
But
if
we
don't
and
then
the
mayor's
office
says
we
want
to
move
this
to
somewhere
else,
we
have
to
go
through
the
whole
process
of
doing
an
additional
Amendment
to
the
action
plan.
Public
feedback
add
in
the
paper,
come
back
to
City
Council,
saying
take
money
from
X
and
put
it
into
y,
so
the
body
would
net.
This
body
would
not
be
cut
out
of
that
process
at
all
right
right.
L
E
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
me.
I
do
have
one
more
question
on.
E
There
was
a
table
that
I
had
a
question,
oh
on
so
on
page
48
of
the
packet
which
I
don't
I
apologize,
I,
don't
know
what
page
of
the
this
document
that
is,
there's
a
table
of
eligible
activities
for
ARP
money
and
the
number
of
persons
benefiting.
E
These
are
all
two
or
three
digit
numbers,
and
then
crime
awareness
is
44.
000
750
people
is
that,
like
the
whole,
can
you
talk
more
about
what
crime
awareness
is
and
how
this
number
was
arrived.
L
L
Thanks
Marianne,
thank
you.
This
is
I
believe
this
is
an
amendment
to
the
to
two
previous
rants
from
last
year
and
this
year
for
Tri-Cities
Opera.
We
were
doing
gonna
do
twenty
thousand
last
year
and
then
in
1705
this
year,
so
you're
looking
at
37.5.
Originally
that
was
going
to
go
into
ADA
compliance
for
Tri-Cities
Opera.
They
were
going
to
install
a
a
really
nice
ramp
or
possibly
a
lift
chair
to
allow
people
to
have
additional
access
to
their
facilities.
Unfortunately,
the
situation
has
changed
slightly
for
them.
L
They
are
now
at
risk
of
having
severe
damage
to
the
building
due
to
a
roof
problem,
so
my
suggestion
to
them,
and
they
they
were,
they
were
good
with
that
they
originally
it
was
gonna,
be
a
much
smaller
scale,
but
it's
become
even
bigger,
since
then
was
just
simply
to
fix
the
the
water
retention
going
in
behind
the
one
wall.
This
is
now
changed
and
it's
looking
at
a
larger
project
of
approximately
300
000
plus
dollars.
L
The
funding
can
be
moved
over
to
this.
It
doesn't
really
it's
not
an
amendment
to
the
action
plan,
but
it
is
a
change
in
scope
from
ADA
compliance
to
this
sort
of
what
is
considered
under
cdbg
rules,
historical
revitalization,
which
is
not
a
an
LMI
or
LMI
specific
group
that
it
targets.
We
can
only
do
a
certain
amount
of
this
per
year.
Doing
this
would
still
be
eligible
and
they
would
still
have
to
get
the
additional
grant
funding
to
do
the
rest
of
the
roof.
L
I
have
spoken
with
the
executive
director
told
them
to
you
know:
please
contact
the
historical
office
in
New,
York
state,
there's
a
lot
of
funding
that
is
available
for
this
kind
of
assistance,
but
that
37.5
is
still
sitting
there
as
an
additional
thing.
We
can
help
them
with
potentially
exceed
money
for
the
rest
of
their
grant.
Funding,
Steve.
B
I,
just
on
behalf
of
the
first
district
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
office
for
fast
tracking.
This
I've
been
in
quite
a
bit
of
communication
with
the
executive
director
over
at
Tri-Cities
as
well,
and
also
working
on
with
them
with
options
with
the
county,
as
well
as
with
the
state
reaching
out
to
assembly,
woman,
lopardo
and
okay,
some
others.
So
I
appreciate
that
yeah.
L
Just
to
let
you
know,
I've
only
got
word
back
from
shippo
and
they're
going
to
have
to
change
the
scope
a
little
bit
but
since
they're
having
to
change
the
entire
scope
to
include
the
the
whole
the
giant
hole
in
the
roof.
That's
gonna
change
everything
a
little
bit.
So
this
is
not
a
project.
That's
going
to
be
done!
The
next
few
months,
it's
probably
going
to
be
done
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
Yeah.
E
You,
president
scramji,
so
I'm
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
speak
to
this
Steve,
but
I'm
wondering
actually
why
they
Tri-Cities
Opera,
hasn't
spent
that
money.
Yet
on
the
Ada
improvements.
Is
there
a
reason
why
they
still
have
that
money
to
begin
with.
E
L
Originally,
the
money
was
going
to
be
used
for
a
separate
project
that
was
last
year
two
years
ago.
They
moved
on
it
too
quickly
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you've
been
here
when
I've
talked
to
city
council
about
agencies
moving
on
projects,
especially
environmental
capital
projects
that
need
environmental
review.
They
move
before
environmental
review
was
done.
So
at
that
point,
zero
HUD
dollars
can
go
into
a
project.
L
If
you
move
on
that,
which
is
why
I
stressed
my
agencies
now,
pre-application
and
even
pre-contract
release
do
not
start
until
I
tell
you
to,
but
the
money's
still
there,
and
so
they
were
trying
to
figure
a
way
to
to
utilize
it.
L
The
ADA
compliance
thing
came
up
and
we
were
pursuing
that,
but
it
was
one
of
those
ones
where
they
didn't
have
enough
funding
from
last
year
to
do
it,
so
they
had
just
asked
for
additional
funding
for
for
basically
the
year
that
started
2022
and
that
was
granted
to
them,
so
that
plus
last
year's
would
then
be
ADA
compliance.
And
now
we've
got
the
situation
where
they're
dealing
with
an
environmental
issue
in
their
property,
which
is
just
you
know,
it
is
a
historical
property.
It
is
registered,
I
think
nationally.
L
It's
the
old,
Armenian
Club
yeah,
okay,
it's
the
old,
Armenian
Club.
It's
nationally
registered
so
unfortunately
with
historical
projects.
Properties
like
that,
especially
with
any
sort
of
government
funding,
but
they
really
should
also
with
private
lending.
You
have
to
go
through
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
Loops.
You
got
to
make
sure
you
use
the
right
material
and
you
get
the
right
so
yeah.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
situation
with
it.
So
they've
gone
from
they've
gone
from.
L
L
I
did
a
calculation
last
year
and
approximately
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
projects
had
to
be
changed
or
canceled
because
of
agencies
moving
too
quickly,
and
that's
an
unfortunate
thing
and
I
do
try
to
stress
to
the
agencies.
Please
do
not
move,
please
do
not
move,
but
it's
just
the
nature.
It
happens,
there's
confusion,
they
get
a
contract
and
they
think
it's
good
to
go.
The
contract
says:
don't
move
until
you
get
an
environmental
review.
I,
don't
blame
them
just
because
so
many
other
agencies
have
done.
L
This
I
actually
kind
of
blame
myself
for
not
stressing
it
enough
at
the
out
at
the
outset,
but
now
I
absolutely
stress
it
at
the
outset
that
I've
seen
enough
of
these
to
say.
Please
do
not
hire
your
contractor
and
start
work
until
you're,
ready
until
I,
say
it's
okay,
just
because
there's
so
many
rules
about
that.
But
the
environmental
rule
is
always
the
biggest
one.
B
You
Council
any
other
discussion
Steve.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
you.
This
time,
I'd
like
to
ask
Megan
Hyman
the
executive
assistant
to
the
mayor
to
join
us
for
rl's,
2361
and
65.
O
B
Thank
you
so
much.
If
you
don't
mind,
you
want
to
start
off
with
65
for
the
general
fund
for
cheap
sakowsky,
or
did
you
want
to
do
the
other
one,
the
property
first.
O
The
same
lines
I'll
have
Pat
McGinnis
is
in
here
tonight,
so
I'll
have
RL
2367.
appreciate.
O
Okay,
RL
2365:
this
is
an
end
of
your
housekeeping
item.
It's
that's
sort
of
to
balance
the
2022
budget.
It's
increasing
the
lines
were
shifted,
differential
and
for
field.
The
field,
training
officer.
O
Rl
23-61:
this
is
for
the
city
to
accept
the
donation
of
86
farview
Avenue.
This
is
the
wooded
lot
on
the
city's
South
Side.
E
Good
okay,
so
you
said
this
is
a
wooded
lot
right
now,
and
this
is
this
is
currently
a
city
lot.
Is
that
correct.
E
O
So
I
think
the
the
fact
that
it's
what
it
means
that
it's
not
any
extra
maintenance
for
our
parks,
department
or
DPW.
It's
not
a
vacant
lot
in
the
sense
that
we
might
think
about
them
and
the
property
owner
reached
out
looking
to
get
rid
of
it.
I
think
it's
just
beneficial
for
the
city
to
to
acquire
it
and
and
be
able
to
have
control
over
it
rather
than
a
random
person.
Okay,.
O
Don't
believe
that
there
are,
this
is
sort
of
in
a
wooded
area,
I'm,
not
sure
if
there
are
any
Property
Owners
adjacent
to
it.
That
would
benefit
from
like
an
extension
of
their
yard
and
those
side.
Lots
are
typically
where
we
have
demolished
properties,
so
they're
level
and
no
trees.
Okay,.
E
Okay,
that's
all
my
question.
Thank
you.
B
O
Okay,
23-67
in
line
with
the
the
first
RL
from
the
police
department.
This
is
the
end
of
year
housekeeping
item.
It
is
to
balance
the
2022
budget.
O
B
At
this
time,
we'll
review,
RL,
23-64
general
fund
budget
items.
N
Problem
all
right
yeah.
This
is
another
one
of
those
budget
housekeeping
items
from
last
year,
and
so
this
is
the
amend
the
22
General
budget
for
over
budget
item,
which
was
caused
by
again
a
good
friend
covid,
which
pushed
back
a
lot
of
the
civil
service
exams.
N
B
Rl
23-70
amend
chapter
26
of
the
code
of
the
city
of
Binghamton
colleagues,
as
I
pointed
out
at
the
last
meeting.
If
you
read
chapter
26
of
the
city
Charter,
which
is
the
chapter
of
the
city
Charter,
that
deals
directly
with
everything
that
is
chamber
related
for
the
legislative
branch.
B
I
had
pointed
out
in
subsection
26
that
a
very
standardized
practice
that
we
have
with
respect
to
when
we
amended
the
charter
a
few
years
ago
to
allow
a
motion
and
a
second
to
be
conducted
to
hold
over
first
read
legislation
to
the
next
business
meeting.
It
meaning
making.
It
second
read:
legislation
that
there
isn't
an
explicit
statement
in
the
city
Charter
that
codifies
the
past
practice
of
requests
for
legislation
needing
to
be
second
read
that
they
have
to
be
voted
on
when
they
fall
into
that
second
read
status.
E
Thank
you,
president
scurringji.
This
is
minor,
but
I
wonder
if
the
word
shall
ought
to
be.
The
word
must.
G
K
E
K
This
does
is
codify
the
long-standing
practice.
It's
like
been
20
years
that
I've
been
here
yeah.
If
you
hold
it
one
time,
it's
got
to
be
voted
at
the
next
meeting
right.
This
just
puts
that
in
words
that
are
very
clear,
I
believe
it's
implicitly
there
already
that
it
comes
back
to
the
floor
automatically
right
and
something
that
comes
to
the
floor
either
voted
up
or
voted
down.
That's
right!
It's
on
the
floor,
but
this
makes
it.
K
J
B
On
absolutely,
even
if
it's
already
been
held
over
your
Your
sponsorship
is
your
right
as
a
council
person,
yes,
sir,
so
why
don't
we
for
the
clerk's
office,
Madam,
Clerk
and
Corp
Council?
If
we
could
take
note
if
the
last,
if
the
word
shall
could
be
changed
to
the
word,
must
I've
been
moved
and
I
don't
even
know
any
other
discussion?
B
Thank
you
for
the
suggestion,
excellent.
That
being
said,
really
quickly,
I'd
like
to
make
an
announcement
to
council
members.
If
you
remember
last
week,
I'm
at
our
last
business
meeting
that
there
was
a
sign
out
issue
which
I
took
responsibility
for
with
respect
to
RL
23-46,
which
was
the
discussion
Around
The
Mending,
the
city
of
Binghamton
historic
design,
guidelines,
chapter
seven,
that
was
the
signage
discussion
that
we
didn't
have
a
sign
out
sheet,
so
I
have
that
sign
out
sheet
in
hand.
So
I
am
passing
that
sign
out
sheet
around
now.
B
Any
discussion
on
that
that'll
come
around
shortly.
Okay.
That
being
said,
we
have
two
RLS
left
which
are.
K
E
I
apologize,
that's
for
both
of
them
both.
E
B
B
Do
I
hear
a
second
motion
by
councilman
strong
seconded
by
councilwoman
resinetti
all's
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
