A
A
Thank
you,
mr
clark,
will
you
take
a
roll
call
for
us?
Please.
D
Yes,
councilman
scoring,
it
looks
like
he's
absent,
councilwoman
rosnetti
present
councilwoman
riley
president
councilwoman
friedman,
president
councilman
burns.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
As
we've
done
before,
we
will
take
a
quick
moment
for
people
that
are
watching
from
your
right
to
left.
As
you're
watching
of
councilwoman
friedman.
We
have
our
clerk
lee
rogers
phil
strong.
We
have
councilman
scanlon
and
councilman
burns
and
our
presenters
will
probably
come
up
to
to
your
far
left
as
you're
watching
the
screen,
if
they're,
if
they're,
live
and
not
on
on
zoom,
so
we
could
skip
that
start.
Mr
kruger
emailed
us
a
little
bit
ago
and
said
for
a
couple
reasons.
A
He
does
not
need
this.
This
rl
so
he's
withdrawn
that
correct.
So
we
will
go
right
to
lori.
You
you
out
there
lori!
Yes,
okay,
tell
us
about
rl
2290,
please,
okay,.
F
This
rl
is
to
allocate
arpa
money
for
I.t
upgrades
and
improvements.
Due
to
the
pandemic,
there
has
been
a
decentralization
of
computer
operations
and
tasks
performed
by
the
city
workforce
and
the
implementation
of
remote
work.
This
means
enabling
remote
remote
resources
and
services
that
were
previously
internal.
F
We
are
restructuring
the
city
network
infrastructure
in
response
to
the
current
pandemic
and
preparing
for
future
emergencies.
Consequently,
the
city
needs
to
upgrade
hardware
and
software
and
implement
additional
security
protocols
to
protect
the
network
while
allowing
for
increased
remote
activity.
F
F
A
Okay,
thanks
lori
anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments
for
lori
on
rl2290.
F
E
Good,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
these
transfers
correctly,
because
it
says
six
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
over
a
three
year
period
and
then,
when
it
has
the
budget
lines,
it's
four
lines,
each
of
which
say
increase
by
670
thousand
dollars.
E
F
Accounting
entry
yeah
hold
on
and
have
the
accounting
entry
in
front
of
me,
but
the
money
is,
we
have
to
increase
it
in
the
general
fund,
increase
the
estimated
revenue
increase,
the
transfer
to
capital
and
then
expend
the
transfer
to
capital
which
puts
it
and
increases
the
estimated
revenue
in
the
capital
fund.
It
increases
the
budget
line
in
the
capital
fund
in
order
to
spend
it
which
begins
with
age
1680
and
it's
in
the
capital
fund,
because
we
will
spend
these
these
funds
over
a
three
year
period.
F
E
A
F
A
Appreciate
it.
Okay,
I
see
mr
lake
on
the
on
the
screen.
Are
you
there,
mr
lake?
I
am
here.
Okay,
tell
us
about
rl
2288.
C
Rl
2288
is
for
the
state
street
the
art
deco
district.
We
are
now
ready
to
go
to
construction,
we've
bid.
It
we've
had
a
change
order,
reducing
the
bid
price,
so
we
could
handle
it,
and
this
is
for
the
construction
services
by
by
the
engineer,
which
is
bart,
mendel
judas
and
it's
for
319
000
and
that's
to
take
us
through
construction.
So
they
can
get
that
project
completed.
A
Okay,
mr
crumb
is
joining
us
at
the
table
here
and
charlie
you
out
there
on
yep
I'm
here.
Do
we
have
anybody
anybody
else
from
the
joint
sewage
treatment
plant?
That's
going
to
be
talking
about
any
of
these
things.
A
Yes,
just
charlie
and
ed.
Okay,
we'll
start
so
you
guys
got
an
email
late
this
afternoon,
so
charlie
and
ed
will
explain
that
in
a
minute.
So
let's
start
with
2280
and
2295
for
charlie,
and
then
we
can
go
to
the
to
the
other
one.
G
When
we
did
the
budget
first
time
around,
we
had
not
received
any
information
from
hank
lee
allen
regarding
their
expenses.
For
this
year
we
got
something
late
after
the
budget
was
already
in
place,
so
in
order
to
accommodate
what
they
anticipate
spending
for
bath
legal
fees,
we're
asking
for
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
be
increased
into
the
job
af
legal
line,
which
is
54430.j0baf.
G
The
sources
of
that
we'd
like
to
take
340
thousand
dollars
from
the
reimbursed
village
debt
service.
It
was
not
used
in
the
2021
budget.
260
000
from
the
reimbursed
city
debt
service
also
not
used
in
the
2021
budget,
136
000
from
contingency
89
000
from
health
insurance
for
retirees,
forty
one
thousand
dollars
from
electricity
and
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
from
maintenance
agreements.
G
All
of
these
were
unspent
in
the
2021
budget.
I
believe
the
comptroller
still
has
the
opportunity
to
get
this
in
and
encumber
it
from
last
year's
budget,
even
though
it
is
very
late
in
the
year
for
that.
So
I
would
ask
the
owners
to
approve
this
legislation
to
allow
us
to
continue
with
the
baaf
legal
case.
A
Okay,
go
on
to
2294.
G
G
A
Okay,
charlie
and
ed
tell
us
about
the
the
path
that
we
got.
I
guess
there
was
an
emergency
meeting
friday
afternoon
and
the
path
that
we
got
to
this
afternoon
for
this,
this
rl
that
we
just
got
this
afternoon.
Can
you
tell
us
about
that?
We
have.
G
Surfpro
is
currently
on
site
and
has
been
working
diligently
when
they
did
their
initial
estimate.
They
couldn't
get
access
underneath
the
aluminum
grading,
that's
in
the
bath
complex
and
once
they
actually
got
down
and
started
to
dig
in
that
media.
They
didn't
realize
that,
instead
of
being
a
nice
long
channel,
it's
actually
a
labyrinth.
There's
pipes,
fittings,
there's
concrete
anchors,
so
they're
having
a
heck
of
a
time
actually
getting
people
in
there
to
remove
the
media.
So
they've
already
done
a
change
order
of
140
500.
G
Beyond
the
cleanup
of
the
media,
we've
also
employed
the
services
of
a
public
adjuster,
and
his
fees
will
not
be
able
to
be
paid
from
insurance
recoveries.
We
have
to
pay
them,
it's
a
percentage
of
the
recoveries,
but
we
can't
use
that
money
to
pay
him.
Obviously,
the
insurance
company
won't
pay
us
for
help
in
that
line.
G
A
Okay,
edward's
like
to
add
anything
to
the
discussion.
H
One
thing
I'd
add
just
in
terms
of
the
physical
physical
location
in
this
bafcn
gallery,
you're
talking
about
a
multi-storey
area
and
it's
24
feet
from
the
lower
level
to
the
top
of
the
main
level
I'll
call
it
the
main
level,
because
that's
where
people
have
a
there's,
a
walkway,
that's
grading,
and
what
mr
pearsall
is
explaining
is
that
the
work
that's
ongoing
now
in
the
lower
level
is
underneath
the
grating
they
have
to
take
sections
of
the
grating
up
to
obtain
access
and
then
climb
down
using
ladders
and
there's
equipment
piping,
and
when
I'm
talking
about
piping,
I'm
talking
about
large
diameter
24
to
36
inch,
diameter
piping,
there's
also
wiring
chases,
which
of
course
are
de-energized
right
now,
but
to
work
in
there.
H
It
was
underwater
when
the
original
quotation
was
given
to
the
sewage
plant
and
the
board,
and
now
that
they
realize
what
they're
dealing
with
it's
taking
much
more
time
and
effort
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done
to
clean
it
out
and
then
decontaminate
it.
So
then
the
trades
workers
can
come
in
to
do
the
assessment
on
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
to
rehabilitate
the
space
and
get
these
cells
back
into
operation.
A
Okay,
thank
you
any
questions
for
charlie
or
ed
on.
Do
we
even.
A
There's
no
number
for
this
at
this
point.
So
so,
while
we
have
them
here,
any
questions
for
ed
or
charlie
on
this
additional
councilman
scanlan
go
ahead.
H
Well,
the
issue
here
is
that
we
have
a
sewage
plant-
that's
not
functioning
in
the
secondary
process
in
the
baf,
it's
not
able
to
meet
the
permit
and
our
community's
obligation
to
the
chesapeake
bay
watershed
and
the
river
there's
an
exposure
under
the
permit
to
the
city,
the
village
and
the
board,
which
ultimately
would
be
a
cost
to
the
ratepayers
in
terms
of
non-compliance.
H
So,
given
the
inundation
of
the
lower
level
of
the
baf
and
electrical
systems,
there's
99
automated
valves
that
have
to
be
addressed.
H
This
is
a
big
job
and,
what's
before
you
in
terms
of
legislation,
right
now
is
the
beginning
stages
of
it.
This
isn't
the
last
time
we'll
be
here
with
budget
amendments
because,
as
you
know,
the
sewage
board
has
no
authority
to
borrow
so
the
financing
for
this.
Hopefully
most
of
it
can
come
from
insurance
proceeds.
H
I
would
also
note
that
the
city,
as
the
lead
agency
has
not
issued
any
notice
of
acceptance
of
the
baf
facility,
so
the
board
and
its
employees
have
what's
called
beneficial
use
and
occupancy,
and
so
it's
not
it's
not.
It
turned
over
a
full
turned
over
completed
project
yet,
but
we
need
to
get
back
to
where
the
performance
of
the
plant
since
april
1st
of
2020
can
be
achieved
again
as
soon
as
possible.
All
right.
I
A
Okay,
any
additional
questions
for
mr
psl
or
mr
crum,
while
they're
here.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
you
know,
I'm
definitely
supportive
to
have
this
now
in
on
wednesday,
I'm
assuming
that
you
guys
would
be
available
tomorrow,
email
or
whatever.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
in
between
I'm
assuming
you
would
I
just
since.
E
A
Has
any
additional
questions?
I
think
we
can
understand
the
the
urgency
and
why
it
came
this
way.
Obviously
we
try
not
to
do
that,
but
in
this
situation
there
wasn't
wasn't
much
much
opportunity,
especially
with
the
board
meeting
at
5
30
on
friday.
So,
but
if,
if
you
guys-
and
I
could
email
mr
wagner
as
well
to
see
if
you
know
just
just
tomorrow,
if
anything
comes
up,
please
reach
out
to
them.
So
you
get
any
information
you
need
before
before
wednesday.
A
Thank
you,
okay
is
mr
carson.
You
out
there.
A
J
A
Okay,
tell
us:
you
can
go
through
each
one.
Well,
we'll
stop
on
each
one
to
see.
If
you
have
any
questions,
so
go
ahead
and
start
and
tell
us
about
our
l2281.
J
Okay,
so
2281
is
modifying
last
year's
capital
projects,
agreement
with
greater
opportunities
they
had
originally
planned
to
do
an
exterior
refurbishing
projects.
They
had
moved
a
little
too
quickly
on
it
and
had
started
that
project
before
all
the
paperwork
was
done.
That
was
needed
by
hud,
and
so
this
is
a
request
from
them
to
change
that
project
scope
to
an
actual
carpet
replacement
instead
of
exterior
and
the
funding
source,
and
the
amount
remain
the
same,
and
this
goes
along
with
the
resolution
from
last
year
authorizing
the
original
amount.
A
Okay,
any
questions
for
steve
carson
on
2281
councilwoman
friedman
go
ahead.
J
E
Wanted
to
comment
that
part
of
this
legislation,
the
initial
one
was
the
door
replacement
for
family
planning
and
executed.
Today
we.
E
J
E
A
Okay,
go
on
to
2284.
J
So
2284
is
authorizing
us
to
go
into
an
agreement
with
the
bldc
for
the
amount
that
they
were
awarded
for
the
2022
action
plan.
This
money
is
in
the
budget
under
cd6889
five,
four:
zero,
zero
cdy47
contractual.
So
the
money
is
already
obligated
within
the
budget
itself.
This
is
just
allowing
us
to
enter
into
contract
with
them.
J
Okay,
so
this
one
might
take
a
little
bit
more
to
explain
very
similar
to
bldc.
This
money
has
already
been
budgeted
within
the
fund
for
2022..
J
If
you
look
at
the
home
budget,
you'll
see
that
there
was
this
amount
awarded
for
tbra
that
stands
for
tenant-based
rental
assistance.
This
is
a
a
hud.
The
the
grant
is
from
the
home
grant,
which
we
usually
use
for
rent
for
rental,
rehabs
and
home
rehabs.
J
This
is
another
use
of
this
money.
We've
had
discussions
with
bha
on
how
they
can
utilize
it.
We
originally
intended
them
to
expand
their
section
8
program,
but
this
is
going
to
sound
weird.
The
amount
we're
offering
is
not
enough
for
them
to
expand
their
section
8
program
just
because
of
the
additional
overhead
they
would
need,
but
in
discussion
with
them
and
reviewing
the
rules
and
regulations
regarding
it,
what
we
can
do
is
supplement
their
existing
section,
8
and
public
housing
clients
by
providing
funding
for
security
deposits.
J
So
this
is
really
whenever
they
have
turnover
of
units
or
someone
new
comes
onto
section
8
or
someone
in
section
8
moves
to
a
new
unit.
This
would
help
offset
those
costs
of
security
deposits.
J
Technically
it
is
a.
I
don't
want
you
to
call
it
a
loan,
but
it's
the
security
deposit
should
be
returned
to
the
city
once
that's
paid,
we
are
going
to
into
that
into
the
contract
a
lot
of
times.
Security
deposits
go
right
straight
to
repairs,
so
we
may
or
may
not
get
some
of
this
money
back,
and
this
is
a
long
term
four
and
a
half
year
program
that
should
allow
us
to
meet
the
requirements
from
hud
to
spend
the
home
money
within
five
years.
J
Initial
obligation
date
and
allow
us
to
over
time
spend
down
this
money.
We
don't
foresee
needing
the
the
tebra
money
to
be
redone
until
at
least
2026.
A
K
K
Sure
so
this
is
to
extend
the
city's
lease
with
the
discovery
center
for
their
use
of
city
property
at
ross
park.
This
is
a
25-year
lease
extension,
so
it
gives
the
discovery
center.
Some
stability
and
security
for
planning
purposes
going
forward
from
the
city's
perspective.
It
solidifies
the
discovery
center's
place
in
our
community
for
essentially
the
next
generation.
K
One
note
on
the
last
page
of
the
lease
that
was
sent
out
exhibit
b
about
halfway
through
the
page.
It
talks
about
an
account
for
capital
projects
and
that
that
first
sentence
there
it
mentions
non-capital
projects,
that's
a
typo.
That
fund
will
be
for
capital
projects
since
it's
a
city
facility.
K
This
is
very
in
line
with
what
the
city
did
last
year
with
the
zoo
at
ross
park
and,
like
I
said
before,
the
lease
should
be
included
in
your
in
your
work:
packets
in
entirety.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions
for
megan
on
rl
2291
release
with
the
discovery
center.
A
All
right
chuck,
I
don't
see
check
on
the
screen
chuck.
Are
you
out
there
yeah
I'm
out
here?
I'm
lori's
name:
okay,
okay,
cool!
Go
ahead
and
walk
us
through.
I
guess
we'll.
A
L
This
is
adding
a
new
fun
to
our
chart
of
accounts
for
a
custodial
trust.
We
used
to
have
everything
underneath
the
ta
account.
The
state
went
along
with
gasby
84,
and
that
requires
a
different
type
of
trust
to
report
things
under
it's
a
pretty
simple
rl,
just
adding
those
new
accounts.
E
Thank
you,
council,
president
hi
chuck.
How
are
you
good
so
this
is
just
creating
the
account
not
funding
it.
Well,.
L
You
don't
have
to
fund
the
trust
accounts,
there's
no
budget
entries
associated
with
it.
It's
if
we
have
someone
donates
money
to
us
for
something.
That's
where
the
trust
accounts
come
into
play.
A
Okay,
want
to
a
2278
check.
L
2278
is
requesting
that
we
add
tiger
state
bank
as
a
bank
that
the
city
or
any
of
its
affiliates,
such
as
bureau
or
bldc
or
the
ldc
can
do
business
with.
L
We
do
not
have
tiger
state
as
a
bank,
and
I
plan
on
I'd,
hopefully
put
the
water
street
development
corp
with
them
to
one
of
the
few
banks
that
we
don't
do
business
with
in
the
city.
A
Okay,
any
questions:
what's
that
go
ahead:
councilman
scanlon.
L
Is
to
establish
a
state
revenue
for
grants
in
the
ram
funds.
This
is
to
accept,
grant
money
for
the
southern
holly
street
project.
We
never
had
this
set
up
before
never
never
had
a
need
for
it.
L
Is
to
establish
a
debt
reserve
in
the
ramp
fund.
When
I
went
out
to
bond
last
year,
I
estimated
that
we'd
get
1.6
million
dollars
and
grant
money
from
the
state
for
seven
holly
street
based
off
of
the
percentages
they
were
going
to
pay.
It
was
a
percentage
of
how
much
you
spent
we
spent
less
than
we
anticipated
in
the
original
grant
application.
L
A
Okay,
go
on
to
2286.
2286.
L
L
2287
is
moving
additional
arpa
funds
into
the
lost
revenue
when
we
did
the
rl
last
year
to
move
money
onto
the
lost
revenue.
At
that
time
it
was
based
off
of
a
four
point:
one
percent
growth
rate.
In
the
final
rule.
They
upped
that
to
5.2
growth
rate,
so
we
want
to
take
that
additional
940
000
dollars.
I
believe
it
is
964
943
I
attached
the
original
form
that
we
used
to
do
the
calculation
at
4.1
and
the
new
one
at
5.2.
E
E
We
have
found
that
we
needed
you
know,
in
other
words,
not
taking
this
equation
into
account
of
you
know
the
maximum
possible
amount
that
we
could
allocate
or
calculate
in
terms
of
lost
revenue.
But
do
we
have
any
information
on
how
much
revenue
we
have
actually
estimated
that
we
have
lost.
L
I
don't
basically,
we
still
have
to
account
for
this
as
arpa
funds,
it
just
has
less
strings
attached
to
it.
So
when
I
do
my
quarterly
or
annual
report,
I
have
to
outline
on
the
reports
that
go
to
the
treasury
on
how
this
money
was
spent.
B
L
L
A
Okay,
go
on
to
22.92
22.92.
L
Is
a
resolution
increase
the
assessor
salary
from
55
500
to
85
000.?
I
believe
mayor
kram
sent
out
an
email
to
everyone
explaining
some
of
the
difficulties
we
had
in
filling
this
position
over
the
last
couple
months.
M
Thank
you,
council
president,
so
how
was
this
number
calculated?
I
know
in
the
email
he
talked
about
needing
to
increase
the
salary,
but
did
we
do
a
market
analysis.
N
Your
councilman
riley,
we
did,
I
should
say
I
did
a
market
analysis,
pulling
assessor
salaries
from
competitive
areas,
including
the
assessor's
website,
which
is
a
new
york
assessor's
website
with
the
most
recent
postings,
which
include
the
city
of
binghamton,
but
a
number
of
municipalities,
including
down
state
where
the
city
fell,
was
drastically
below,
for
our
population
size,
the
competitive
rate
for
market,
even
at
85,
we
are
a
little
below
where
assessors
for
a
municipality
of
our
size
are.
N
N
Not
increasing
and
assessors
are
not
qualifications
that
are
merely
set
by
civil
service
they're
qualifications
set
by
the
state,
and
they
require
to
be
certified
from
an
educational
services,
actually
body
agency
body
of
the
state.
So
essentially
the
qualified
pool
is
shrinking,
as
people
are
aging
out
right
and
then
the
price
of
those
qualified
people
is
increasing
and
the
assessor
salary
has
not
been
increased
in
the
market
rate
here
at
the
city
of
binghamton.
N
For
well
over
a
decade,
and
so
as
a
means
to
attempt
to
see
whether
or
not
we
would
get
somebody
who
met
the
qualifications,
we
were
seeking
and
bear
in
mind.
This
city
has
not
had
a
reassessment
in
in
quite
a
while
to
kind
of
find
a
an
assessor
who
would
meet
that
goal.
N
We
or,
I
should
say,
would
have
the
qualifications
to
examine
our
pool.
We
increased
the
posting
salary
to
see
what
kind
of
qualifications
we
would
get.
The
closest
thing
to
a
qualified
assessor
we
had
was
one
prior
to
increasing.
It
was
one
candidate
with
less
than
one
year
of
assessment
experience
under
his
belt.
M
Well,
thank
you
for
that.
My
thing
is,
though,
when,
when
we're
bringing
candidates
forth
forward
and
there's
already
been
a
discussion
about
salary,
you're
asking
council
to
accept
something
with
no
evidence
it
would,
it
would
benefit
us
to
see
the
market
analysis.
So
we
know
where
we
stand,
and
so
we
can
support
you
having
reviewed
the
evidence.
So
we
appreciate
your
verbal,
your
verbals
witnessing
the
research,
but
we
don't
have
any
of
that
and
that
would
have
helped
us
come
in
a
little
bit
more
prepared
similar
to
what
we
did.
N
N
To
my
knowledge,
we
are
presenting
this
to
council
and
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
happy
to
do
between
this
work
session,
and
the
next
is
provide
counsel
with
a
list
of
the
comparable
municipalities.
But
I
think
it
should
also
be
made
aware
that
many
municipalities
have
a
drastic
difference
between
their
posting
salary
because
they
still
do
not
have
assessors.
N
N
So
I
think
I
agree
with
you
with
regards
to
what
is
ideal
practices,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
try
and
do
is
fill
the
gap
when
we
know
it's
urgent
and
that's
exactly
what
the
city
has
tried
to
do
here.
So
what
I
can
do
in
between
this
work
session
and
the
next
is
provide
you
with
some
comparables
in
the
area.
However,
I
think
when
it
comes
to
finding
an
assessor
equipped
for
our
size
on
the
timeline
that
we
have,
this
is
reasonable.
C
M
And
then
we
want
to
move
from
playing
in
the
defense
to
being
prepared
offensively
right.
So
this
is
something
that
we
are
continuing
to
see.
Every
time
a
new
position
is
posted.
So
if
we
are
better
prepared
and
have
the
information,
then
we
would
have
kind
of
less
questions
during
the
work
session,
because
we
would
have
been
able
to
kind
of
prepare.
N
I
don't
so
I
will
tell
you
this
I'll,
put
my
corporation
counsel
hat
on
right
now
for
a
second
take
away
personnel.
So
work
session
is
the
place
for
questions.
There's
no
problem
with
that.
We
expect
it
and,
as
you
know,
as
a
result,
we're
happy
to
provide
any
information.
That
would
be
useful.
So
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
would
be
useful
would
be
comps
in
the
area,
other
comparable
job
descriptions
or,
for
example,
what
are
the
municipalities
our
size?
Give
it
to
this
particular
service?
N
M
N
Absolutely
is
reasonable,
I'm
happy
to
provide
it,
but
most
I
just
want
to
kind
of
set
the
expectations,
because
you
know
you
guys
know
me
more
personally
than
you
do
many
department
heads
who
are
presenting-
and
I
I
think,
most
people
most
department
heads
when
they
present
before
you
look
to
work
session
as
an
opportunity
to
identify
what
are
the
pieces
of
information
you
want
in
order
to
make
your
decision,
we
don't
necessarily
come
armed
with
the
we
don't
necessarily
post
to
the
agenda.
M
No
and
that's
why
I'm
asking
so
that
we
can
start
doing
things
and
expedite
processes,
and
this
is
my
request,
so
that's
all
and
and
that's
your
thought
and
then
we'll
just
we'll
just
table
it
here,
so
we
can
move
on
to
other
discussions.
But
if,
if
we
can't
expect
to
know-
and
I've
said
this
with
anyone
that
brings
data
to
the
table,
for
example
like
with
I
mean
you
can
just
review
the
records,
but
if
we
the
more
data,
we
have
the
better
prepared
we
are
to
discuss.
M
L
Councilwoman
riley,
I
fully
respect
what
you're
saying.
Let
me
throw
a
couple
other
things
in
just
the
county
union's
assessor,
I
believe,
is
that
94
000,
I
believe,
that's
available
on
their
website,
which
sharing
can
supply
to
everybody.
I
also
went
out,
and
I
talked
to
different
appraisers
and
talked
about
the
salaries,
and
I
was
amazed
to
know
with
all
the
home
sales
right
now.
Apprais
people
that
are
in
the
appraisal.
Business
are
making
well
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
would
have
no
interest
in
coming
here,
but.
N
A
N
That's
correct
the
the
board.
The
bar
review
process
is
shortly
upon
us
and,
like
I
said
before,
I'm
happy
to
provide
data
and
information
between
the
work
session
and
the
next
work
session
and
then
the
business
meeting
in
which
this
council
deliberates.
However,
I
think
the
expectation
of
every
department
head
who
presents
is
to
identify
what
information
would
be
of
assistance
to
counsel
in
making
its
determination,
which
is
absolutely
a
reasonable
request
between
now,
its
next
work
session
and
the
business
meeting.
A
Okay,
thank
you
any
other
questions
for
chuck
or
sharon
on
20
rl2292.
A
Okay,
chuck
2293
2293.
L
Is
requesting
that
we
increase
the
insurance
recovery's
account
and
increase
the
equipment
account
for
the
four
damaged
vehicles
that
occurred
late
last
year
on
state
street?
L
A
Okay,
any
questions
for
chuck
on
rl
2293.,
councilman
scanlan
go
ahead.
I
Chuck,
do
you
anticipate
the
the
funds
coming
in
from
bert
adams?
Insurance
will
cover
the
100
000
out
for
not
necessarily.
A
Okay,
anything
else
for
check
on
that
one
or
these
series
of
rl's
before
before
we
let
them
go
councilman
burns
going
yeah.
B
B
So
do
you
feel
that
that
this
candidate
is
qualified
to
lead
a
reassessment
when.
N
The
time
comes,
this
candidate
has
formerly
performed
a
reassessment
as
a
sole
assessor
in
a
prior
city.
While
I
can't
speak
for
the
mayor's
office
that
that
is
imminent,
certainly
an
understanding
of
the
road
to
reassessment
I
think
is
necessary
at
the
city.
I
think
the
mayor
would
agree,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
this
candidate
is
is
qualified
is
because
of
their
experience
in
performing
a
reassessment
of
their
own
as
a
soul,
assessor.
B
N
You
know
I
will
remind
yeah
I'm
happy
to
remind
this
council
that
the
retirement
of
our
assessor
was
sudden
and
the
staff
in
the
office
has
less
than
you
know.
One
year
of
office,
work
or
two
years
of
office
work
underneath
their
belt
assessment
is
very
specific.
It
requires
certification
and
educational
requirements,
and
you
want
somebody
who
knows
how
to
lead
the
charge.
A
Okay,
thank
you
chuck.
A
Okay,
before
we
get
to
pending
legislation,
my
understanding
is
sharon
has
some
an
idea
to
go
over
with
us.
Another
item,
yeah.
N
Yes,
so
last
business
meeting,
we
voted
on
permanent
ordinance
22-41,
which
was
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
2022
central
services
budget
for
the
position
of
stores
keeper.
There
was
a
typo
in
that
legislation
having
to
do
with
the
way
that
the
pdf
form
is
filled
out
in
the
rls.
It
kind
of
cuts
off.
Unless
you
are
extremely
diligent,
it's
a
small
typo.
It
went
from
instead
of
21.5.
N
It
is
21.57
that
is
the
contractual
rate
set
by
the
teamsters
contract
to
remind
council
the
languages,
whereas
teamsters
contract
requires
the
wages
to
go
to
90
and
then
there's
a
schedule.
So
there's
a
typo
in
that
legislation.
So
instead
of
21.50,
it's
21.57,
which
seems
quite
small
and
in
the
fact
in
the
past,
we've
actually
authorized
the
comptroller
to
make
this
correction
as
is,
but
because
it
affected
the
overall
total
annual
increase
and
the
transfer
from
decrease
and
transfer
to
increase.
N
The
office
of
corporation
council
and
office
of
personnel
are
requesting
that
a
member
of
city
council
who
voted
in
favor.
This
went
unanimously
do
a
reconsideration
of
this
piece
of
legislation
so
that
we
don't
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
null,
avoiding
it
at
the
next
business
meeting.
Reconsideration
for
those
of
you
who
have
not
been
here
been
through
it
before
is
anybody
who
voted
in
favor
of
it,
as
I
should
say,
who
was
on
the
prevailing
side,
can
make
a
motion
for
reconsideration.
N
We
would
move
to
reconsider
it
and
then
amend
it
so
that
the
total
annual
increase
is
not
75
16
but
is
7666
and
that
the
transfer
is
870
to
870,
as
opposed
to
720
to
720..
It's
a
difference
of
150
dollars,
however,
because
it
affects
those
budget
lines
explicitly,
we
thought
it
best
to
go
through
a
reconsideration
process
rather
than
a
null
and
void
process
in
the
past.
N
What
we've
done
is
corporation
council,
writes
a
little
script
to
or
prompt
to
help
the
person
making
the
motion
for
reconsideration,
which
is
a
motion
to
reconsider,
then
a
motion
to
amend
and
then
a
motion
to
accept,
as
amended
as
this
was
a
unanimously
passed
ordinance
with
150
difference.
We
didn't
believe
that
it
would
require
null
avoiding
the
amendment,
we're
repealing
it
or,
I
should
say
no
avoiding
the
ordinance
or
repealing
it.
A
Yes,
nobody
has
a
problem
with
that:
okay
go
ahead
and
add
that
get
the
verbiage
to
the
clerk's
office
and
I'm
assuming
it's
probably
councilman
strange-
will
do
that.
A
N
A
Right,
thank
you.
Okay,
mr
clerk,
pending
legislation,
anything
noteworthy
anything
we
should
be
aware
of
prior
to
wednesday's
meeting.
D
So
we
do
have
one
holdover
from
two
weeks
ago:
it's
the
demo
properties,
then,
in
addition
to
that,
there's
just
what's
listed
here,
we
do
have
seeker
for
the
sale
of
property
and
the
local
law
or
the
the
weed
and
grass
height
from
10
inches
to
8
inches.
A
Okay,
any
council
councilwoman
friedman
go
ahead.
E
I
didn't
mean
to
go,
but
one
thing
that
popped
into
my
head
is
now
that
we
are
starting
to
come
back
in
person.
I'm
wondering
what
y'all's
thoughts
are
about
going
back
to
the
way
that
we
used
to
sponsor
legislation
instead
of
automatically
sponsoring
it
and
then
choosing
to
unsponsor.
I
D
I
mean
ultimately,
it's
up
to
council
how
you
want
to
sponsor
or
not
sponsor
something
as
a
body.
I
know
it
was
becoming
cumbersome
after
a
while
tracking
down
people
remotely.
You
know
if
they
didn't
say
so
during
the
meeting
which
ones
they
wanted
to
sponsor.
A
Okay,
my
understanding
is
the
governor
extended
the
emergency
order
for
at
least
another
month.
So
you
know
there's
four
of
us
here.
I
think
I
think
when
we're
all
here.
We
should
definitely
do
that.
I'd
love
it.
If
we
all
came
down
here
now,
I
don't
think
I
don't
think
we're
ready
to
compel
people
to
do
that.
Necessarily
so
let's
talk
about
it
further
I
mean
I,
I
think
that
I
like
I
like
signing
them
out
like
that
too.
But
I
don't
know
you
know.
A
Councilwoman
resident
he's
been,
I'm
not
sure
I
mean
honestly
council,
councilman,
ryland,
council,
vince
grinde
are
the
ones
that
probably
haven't
been
here,
whether
they
consider
coming
down
here
or
not.
I'm
not
sure.
That's,
I
guess
that's
up
to
them
for
now,
but
so
I
guess
we'll
leave
it
for
now
and
then
my
guess
is
at
some
point.
If
we
don't
have
another
surge
that
the
governor
will
at
some
point
compel
us
all
to
come
back
down
here
anyway.
A
So
then
we
can
get
back
to
back
to
back
to
normal.
E
Because
I
was
thinking
that
you
know,
I
don't
want
to
compel
anyone
to
come
down
here
earlier
than
they
need
to
be,
but
I
you
know
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
it's
annoying
tracking
people
down
and
I
definitely
was
a
guilty
of
not
always
remembering
to
specifically
you
know
after
a
meeting
send
an
email
to
sponsor
legislation,
but
I
mean
I
wonder
if
we
could
do
like
a
hybrid.
E
You
know
if
that's
not
too
cumbersome
and
I'm
just
putting
it
out
there
for
consideration.
If
we
had,
you
know
the
people
in
the
room
could
sign
it
out
and
then
maybe
the
people
attending
virtually
could
like
send
an
email
or
something,
but
I
don't
want
to
make
it
to.
I
don't
want
to
make
it
more
complicated
than
it
needs
to
be.
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
on
people's
radar.
E
A
Anybody
else
have
anything
for
the
good
of
the
order.
Councilwoman
riley
go
ahead.
M
Right,
I
know
we
did
talk
about
last
work
session
and
you
just
provided
the
update
from
the
governor
once
things
change,
and
there
are,
I
know
we're
now
allowed
to
convene
in
public
and
larger
groups.
M
A
I'm
not
sure
I
actually
emailed
corporate
council
earlier
this
or
late
last
week.
I
believe-
and
I
haven't
heard
back
from
him
yet
because
I
want
to
just
get
his
take
on
whether
you
know
once
people
come
down.
My
understanding
is
right.
A
Now
it's
optional
that
we
could
have
everybody
come
in
now,
we'd
have
to
let
laurie
know
so
she
could
engage
security
downstairs
at
the
in
the
lobby
for
people
to
come
in,
but
we're
not
sure
yet
whether
it
could
be
it's
all
or
nothing
could
we
have
media
come
and
not
public
is
if
anybody
comes
obviously
we're
already
doing
hybrid,
because
some
of
us
are
here,
and
some
of
us
aren't
so,
whether
it's
just
members
that
could
be
a
hybrid
as
far
as
in
person
or
not-
I'm
not
sure
so,
hopefully,
hopefully
he'll
get
back
to
me.
A
N
Everybody,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry,
president
strong,
I
did
speak
with
attorney,
see
chris
today
and
he
apologizes
for
not
getting
back
to
you
in
in
writing.
Although
I
know
he
has
a
draft
response
ready
for
you,
so
the
short
of
it
is
at
least
to
the
cliff
notes
version.
N
We
can't
allow
some
members
of
the
public
and
not
others
right.
So,
if
you're,
allowing
media
you
have
to
allow
in
person
hybrid
as
we're
using
is
tricky,
particularly
when
it
involves
the
public.
So
he
wants
to
do
some
research,
for
example.
If
the
public
was
in
person,
could
I
should
say
if
council
was
in
person,
could
we
still
engage
in
public
and
then
what
those
requirements
would
be?
And
then,
with
regards
to
court
security,
I
should
say
broome
county
security.
N
N
Attorney
seacrest
will
be
back
in
touch
with
you
in
writing
on
a
num,
because
I
know
you
asked
some
micro
questions
on
a
number
of
those
questions
later
this
week
and
to
hopefully
be
as
detailed
with
you
as
possible,
but
I
think
the
short
of
it
is
if
we
were
to
do
in
person
for
the
public,
we
would
lead
at
least
30
days
notice.
A
At
least
I
mean
I'm
assuming
they
could
do
it
if
they
they
got
back
to
us,
and
if
we
did
it's
it's,
we
do
know
that
we
could
invite
everybody
in,
but
we're
not
sure
whether
it's
any
hybrid
other
than
I
guess
us,
because
we're
already
doing
that
so,
but
we're
staff
of
the
city-
and
obviously
everybody
in
here-
is
an
employee
of
the
city.
So
we
don't
necessarily
need
need
security.
In
that
sense,.
N
N
That's
correct,
okay
and
you
I
mean
that's,
why
you
can
see,
for
example,
media
is
here
during
the
times
of
day
when
the
public
is
here.
If
they've
done,
press
conferences,
et
cetera,
but
not
in
after
hours,
because
we
don't
have
the
security
and
that
hybrid
interaction
by
members
of
the
public
has
not
been
addressed
by
the
legislature.
I
A
Well,
as
we
await
any
further
information
from
corporate
council,
I
mean
I
certainly
would
entertain
your
your
thoughts
or
your
opinions
on,
because
it
does
look
like
it
is
our
option
to
do
that
now
if
we
want
to
with
a
approximately
30
days
for
security.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
spent
the
money
in
this
room
to
have
a
room
where
people
could
come
and
do
that.
So
I
am
open
to
to
your
thoughts
on
that
over
the
next.
K
N
If
we
go
outside
the
remote
process-
and
we
say
our
meetings
are
in
person,
but
some
members
of
council
are
going
to
participate
remotely
that
would
trigger
the
old
open
meetings
law
or
the
existing
open
meetings,
law
provision
which
allows-
or
I
should
say,
mandates
the
publication
of
that
participants
that
council
member's
address
and
the
ability
of
the
public
to
view
your
deliberations
from
home
right.
N
N
So
I
think
that's
it's
kind
of
like
a
two-part
question
and
the
question
is:
what
are
the
procedures
that
govern
a
particular
type
of
participation,
whether
or
not
it's
by
council,
members
or
members
of
the
public,
and
I
think
council
has
a
large
discretion
and
then
new
york
state
prescribes
various
procedures
associated
with
your
choices?
Does
that
make
sense.
M
N
N
Okay,
but
if
you
are
using
the
state
emergency
remote
system
where
everybody
is
permitted
to
participate
remotely,
including
council
members,
it's
an
exception
to
the
rule,
which
means
that
the
public
does
not
have
access
to
you
if
you
are
participating
remotely
as
a
council
member
or
a
board
member
okay,
if
we
use
the
regular
teleconferencing
remote
procedures
which
existed
before
coved
right
council
board
members,
I
should
say
our
notice
requirements
require
that
we
post
where
council,
members
and
board
members
are
participating
from
which
is
a
whole
nother
thing.
N
Okay,
so
what
you're
trying
to
do
or
we're
trying
to
do
is
thread
the
needle
okay,
where
we
don't
allow
necessarily
the
public
to
come
into
our
living
rooms
if
we're,
if
we're
participating
remotely,
but
we
still
allow
them
some
amount
of
hybrid
public
access,
and
that
is
the
open
question
that
the
legislature
has
not
yet
spoken
on.
So
while
there
are
things
within
the
discretion
of
city
council,
the
procedures,
process
and
notice
requirements
are
not
necessarily
set
in
stone
and
depend
on
which
provision
you're
using.
I
Sharon,
so
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying,
let's
assume
for
a
minute,
that
governor
hulkel
on
april
15th
decides
that
everybody
can
go
back
meeting
them
in
person
and
that
so
at
that
point
as
council,
we
didn't
have
a
decision
to
make.
Do
we
allow
people
to
remotely
join
the
meeting
and
come
here
or
we
we
changed
from
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
Am
I
saying
that
correct.
N
That's
correct
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear-
that
open
meetings
law
for
nearly
five-
maybe
eight
years-
has
permitted
council
members
or
council
boards
to
participate
via
teleconference
or
right.
So
the
only
thing
the
state
of
emergency
did
was
expand
this
to
quote
video
conferencing,
which
is
kind
of
like
a
newfangled
thing.
So
it's
not
so
much
of
a
change,
but
I
think
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head:
councilman
scanlan.
