the
non-preferred

Chair
recognizes
councilman
Scanlon
for
the
purposes
of
emotion
regarding
introductory
ordinance,
23-120
thank.
B
F
This
makes
me
a
little
bit
nervous
because,
yes,
the
number
one
initiative
that
our
constituents
said,
that
they
wanted
the
arpa
money
to
go
to
is
affordable
housing.
However,
the
way
that
this
is
set
up
for
the
pre,
the
pre-development
cost
this
could
be
a
stunt
cost
for
us.
My
understanding
is
that
the
way
that
the
affordable
housing
credits
work,
it
is
a
it
is
difficult
to
achieve
them.
F
So
I'm
worried
that
we're
going
to
give
2.2
million
dollars
to
and
an
out
of
town
developer,
who,
yes
has
a
connection
to
Binghamton
and
I-
do
appreciate
that
that's
not
lost
on
me,
but
then
what
happens
if
the
project
does
not
go
through?
We
have
now
sent
millions
of
dollars
to
a
for-profit
company
and
the
reason
why
councilwoman
Riley
asked
for
the
other
the
information
regarding
how
the
other
municipalities
have
done.
It
is
it
we
want
to
know
more
about.
How
like
is
this
going
to
be
a
worthwhile
investment?
F
How
does
it
work,
then?
You
know:
do
we
see
a
return
on
our
on
investment,
or
are
these
going
to
be
rental
properties
that
may
or
may
not
get
built
with
again
the
extractive
model
of
taking
rent
money?
Who
gets
that
rent
money
right
who
profits
off
of
that
rent
money?
So
I
am
hesitant
to
support
this
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
Thank
you,
council.
President
I
did
tell
my
co-council
member
to
go
first,
but
she
did
State
many
of
the
concerns
and
qualms
I
have
so
I'm
going
to
step
away
from
my
own
again
thoughts,
but
I
will
state
the
facts.
Number
one
I
received
several
emails
about
us
again
supporting
an
out
of
town
developer.
E
And
yes,
we
are
aware
there
may
not
be
a
lot
of
Upstate
developers
or
local
developers
that
can
and
or
project
of
this
magnitude,
but
where
they
afforded
the
opportunity.
That
was
their
question.
The
second
set
of
email
requests
and
concerns
I
received
was
about
the
allocation
of
properties
based
upon
the
a
m
I
and
again
with
the
60
40
split
or
a
50.
E
E
But
again
a
majority
of
the
population
still
would
not
fit
the
criteria
that
we've
set
as
the
guidance
or
the
marker
for
this
affordable
quote:
unquote:
housing
so
again,
because
my
constituents
have
reached
out
and
verbally
and
in
written
form,
asked
us
to
reconsider
this
project
and
and
seek
further
information,
one
of
which
I
spoke
with
and
I'm
going
to
make
up.
The
name
is
not
Amy.
E
Sarah
Sarah
verbally
I
did
not
follow
up
in
writing,
but
I
did
follow
up
again
verbally
requesting
information
directly
from
the
two
groups
that
were
here
that
spoke
to
support
from
legislators
in
New
York
City
that
we
can
reach
out
to
and
find
out
how
they
felt
about
their
projects
and
their
working
relationships,
which
again
we
need
data
to
go
back
to
our
constituents
and
say
hey
well,
council
person.
This
has
worked
with
them,
blah
blah
blah.
It
might
be
a
good
idea
so
because
I
am
I
have
yet
to
receive.
F
B
Introductory
ordinance,
23-120
motion
has
been
made
and
exercised
by
councilman
rally
to
hold
over
seconded
by
councilwoman
Friedman
introductory
ordinance.
23-120
is
held
over.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
on
chair
recognizes
councilman
residenti
for
the
purposes
of
introductory
ordinance
23-121
as
a
general
reminder
to
the
body
as
well
as
to
our
residents.
Watching
this
evening.
Any
sale
of
property
requires
six
votes
in
the
affirmative
to
pass.
Chair
recognizes
councilman
resonating.
D
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
Mr,
Ordnance,
passkey
Seeker,
the
following
secret
motions
are
in
reference
to
the
legislation
before
us
introductory
ordinance.
23-121
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
sale
of
nine
Slauson
Avenue.
The
Metro
boom
Properties
Inc
for
one
dollar
I,
make
a
motion
declares
city
council
as
lead
agency
under
secretary.
B
D
D
D
A
motion
to
issue
a
negative
declaration
under
secret
for
the
following
reasons:
the
proposed
sale
will
not
conflict
with
an
adopted
land
use
plan
or
zoning
regulations.
Any
future
development
of
the
site
will
be
subject
to
at
a
minimum
site.
Plan
review
and
approval
in
secret
reviews
by
the
Planning
Commission.
The
proposed
sale
will
not
impair
the
character
or
quality
of
the
existing
community
proposed
sale
will
not
have
an
impact
on
a
critical
environmental
area.
The
proposed
sale
will
not
impact
traffic
or
infrastructure
energy
use
for
water
and
soil
infrastructure.
D
B
D
B
B
D
F
F
You
all
know
how
I
feel
about
arpa
I
feel
like
we
need
to
be
extra
extra
careful
about
that,
but
as
far
as
the
the
actual
building
of
the
property
and
this,
the
this
sale
of
property
I
do
feel
comfortable.
Supporting
this
legislation
and
I
think
that
it
does
show
that
we
are
invested
in
having
this
building
this
project
go
through
with
appropriate
funding
sources.
Of
course,
thank
you.
Thank.
B
F
A
C
E
A
D
B
D
I'm
a
commotion
to
issue
negative
declaration
under
secret
for
the
following
reasons:
the
proposed
action
will
not
conflict
with
unadopted
land
use
plan
and
resulting
regulations
no
result
in
a
change
of
land
use.
The
proposed
action
will
not
impair
the
character
or
quality
of
the
existing
Community
proposed
action
will
not
have
an
impact
on
a
critical
environmental
area.
The
proposed
action
will
not
impact
traffic
or
infrastructure,
energy
use
or
water
and
sewer
infrastructure.
The
proposed
action
will
not
negatively
impact
important
historic
resources.
A
B
E
Thank
you
again,
council
president.
So
here
we
are
I've
talked
about
the
same.
Every
time
this
is
presented
to
us,
I
highlight
the
city's
rise
Grant
and
why
we
were
selected.
Yes,
the
city's
riots
Grant
the
city's
rise
Grant
is
to
support
the
revitalization
of
blighted
and
unused
untaxed
properties
with
prioritization
on
those
that
are
unhoused
or
unable
to
afford
housing.
Again.
E
Our
goal,
as
I've
talked
about
over
and
over
again,
is
to
support
the
needs
of
those
who
are
not
able
to
achieve
or
obtain
the
loans
that
would
be
required
for
many
of
the
houses
once
we
rehabbed
or
refurbished
them,
but
particularly
for
properties
that
we,
the
city
of
Binghamton,
have
rehab.
We
had
a
certain
criteria
within
the
rubric
to
determine
who
is
eligible
for
such
properties
and
one
of
which
was
owning
other
properties
in
the
county.
E
Now
we
did
hear
from
Dr
Spurling
that
this
property,
because
we
received
the
property,
not
knowing
the
depth
of
issues
related
to
restoring
it
to
its
full
capabilities.
We
expended
more
than
we
thought,
and
she
said,
she's
open
to
hearing
other
ideas.
One
great
idea
would
be
to
take
some
of
this
arpa
money
we
just
discussed
and
added
to
this
treasury
or
this
line
so
that
we
can
bring
the
building
up
to
code
and
and
bring
it
up
to
a
status
where
it
can
be.
E
It
can
be
used
for
families
and
the
like,
and
then
we
can
find
someone
that
does
not
own
several
properties
in
the
county,
and
this
can
be
their
first
home.
That's
our
goal:
to
increase
home
ownership,
not
increase
landlords
and
and
well
not
for
this
grant,
particularly
I
just
think
again.
We
need
to
think
about
what
the
grant,
what
we
purpose
to
do
with
the
Grant
and
what
we
desire
to
do
in
terms
of
providing
opportunities
for
our
residents.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
So
this
piece
of
legislation
like
councilwoman
Riley,
said
this
is
the
the
second
time
that
we're
seeing
it
I
mean
it's
a
little
teeny
bit
different
and
I
understand
that
this
property
was
more
difficult
than
expected
to
bring
it
up
to
Snuff
and
I.
Appreciate
that
it's
there
is
still
work
that
is
required
on
this
property
and
that's
not
attainable
for
everyone,
but
again,
like
councilwoman
and
councilwoman
Riley
said:
who
is
the
city's
rise
grant
for
sure?
F
One
benefit
that
we
have
achieved
with
this
property
is
bringing
a
a
blighted
property.
You
know
giving
it
a
facelift
and
taking
it
you
know
kind
of
transforming
it
for
the
benefit
of
the
neighborhood,
but
also
giving
priority
to
people
who
are
first-time
home
buyers
and
so
I
I.
Also,
you
know
not
to
repeat
everything
that
councilwoman
Riley
just
said,
but
I
do
I,
do
appreciate
what
Dr
Burling
was
explaining
to
us
that
they
maybe
didn't
they
weren't
expecting
what
they
were
getting
with
this
property
again.
F
F
I
I
just
have
I.
I,
also
think
that
there
is
a
way
that
we
could
make
this
property
attainable
for
a
first-time
homebuyer
or
someone
who
for
whom
property
acquisition
is
typically
out
of
their
reach
I
and
it
it's
all.
It's
also
not
lost
on
me
that
you
know
I.
Don't
want
us
to
look
at
this
as
oh.
We,
this
is
a
sunk
cost.
We
put
so
much
money
into
this
property,
and
now
it's
just
sitting
there,
but
I
think
that
we're
so
close
to
making
this
for
for
changing
someone's
life
with
this
property.
F
If
we
can
just
make
it
available
to
someone
who
typically
would
not
be
able
to
acquire
property
and
might
be
forced
to
live
in
at
a
reduced
rate
right,
who
might
be
forced
to
live
in
a
a
housing
complex
with
fifteen
hundred
dollar
rent,
so
yeah
I
know
this
is
a
difficult
case
and
I.
You
know
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
who
worked
on
this,
but
I.
Don't
think
this
is
the
best
use
of
of
this
money.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
D
G
G
So
if
we're
not
going
to
do
it
and
it's
become
too
much
for
the
program
to
do
it,
so
we're
now
going
to
have
to
sell
it
that
if
we
delay,
then
this
property
will
remain
in
eyesore
or
who
knows
how
long
and
it's
finally
coming
to
fruition.
I
know
the
neighbors
all
over
there
just
want
it.
They
don't
want
to
look
the
way.
It
looks
anymore.
G
The
you
know
the
people
that
are
going
to
buy
it
aren't
going
to
even
fall
into
this
category
of
the
people
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
buy
it.
So
I
think
you
know
it's
a
great
idea.
We,
if
we
turn
it
over
to
the
land
bank
or
if
we,
if
we
just
you,
know
fixed
it
up
or
but
the
problem
is,
is
that
it's
nothing's
been
happening
over
there.
G
E
Thank
you
again
for
that,
council,
president
and
again
I.
Thank
you
for
the
discussion
we're
having,
as
you
mentioned
in
your
closing,
we
have
not
reimagined
what
to
do
with
this
property,
based
upon
the
conversation
that
even
Dr,
Burling
and
initiated
when
she
was
here.
You
mentioned
talking
to
the
land
bank.
Has
anyone
inquired
as
to
the
next
step
so
that
we
can
reap
the
same
benefit
from
this
property
and
both
entities?
The
Strategic
partnership
meets
their
goals
and
still
helps
address
housing
needs
in
the
city.
E
E
Not
only
are
we
not
investigating
other
methods
to
ensure
the
renovation
of
the
property,
we
are
also
not
again
using
this
time
to
think
strategically
to
ensure
that
we're
doing
what
we
committed
to
in
the
rubric
for
the
ownership
of
this
property
if
this
land
again
I'm
not
against
landlords,
let
me
say
that
on
the
record
before
somebody
misquotes
something,
but
if
she
wanted
this
to
rehab,
because
she
has
the
wealth
or
the
cash
resources
to
do
so,
this
property
has
been
vacant.
It
could
have
been
done
then.
E
B
G
B
B
B
H
I
agree
with
councilman
I
mean
keeping
this
property
sitting
there
heading
towards
winter,
when
it's
just
an
eyesore
and
Ben.
It's
it's
it's
it's
foolish.
Actually,
we
have
other
properties.
We
could
work
with
in
the
city
they're
all
over
the
place
as
I've
been
walking
around.
If
we
want
to
try
to
reimagine
something
else
with
with
any
kind
of
funds,
but
Dr
Burling
is
the
most
probably
the
most
honest
straight
shooter
that
we
have
in
City
Hall.
Well,
there's
a
lot
of
them,
but
she's.
H
Just
very
you
know
non-partisan
and
you
know
I
trust.
Her
and
they've
been
working
hard
on
this,
so
just
that
their
time
is
going
on
and
on
to
take
care
of
this
and
I
just
think
to
not
move
forward
with
it
and
get
this
back
maintained
on
the
tax
rolls
and
off
the
blighted
properties
is
crazy.
That's
my
thoughts.
F
Thank
you,
president
grungy
I
would
be
well.
Let
me
let
me
make
a
suggestion
before
saying
that
I
would
be
willing,
but
I
believe
that
it
might
be
worthwhile
to
allocate
arpa
money
toward
this
to
close
the
gap
between
it
being
in
live-in
condition,
and
not
right
now
can
I
take
a
a
temperature
check
with
my
colleagues
to
see
if
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
appealing
just
out
of
curiosity,
to
make
this
this
property
to
get
it
on
the
tax
bills
again
to
have
someone
living
in
it.
F
C
Feelings
we
should
take.
We
should
take
a
vote
on
this
now
because
it
fails
and
it's
likely
it
will
then
they'll
be
forced
to
go
back
to
drawing
board
so
I
think
we're
kind
of
beating
this
up
a
little
bit
my
opinion.
We
should
take
a
vote
and
if
it
fails
or
fails
and
then
it'll
be
forced
to
go
back
to
drawing
board.
Thank
you.
B
B

As
it
relates
to
any
request
for
legislation
as
body,
we
have
a
right
to
amend
it,
do
whatever
we
want
with
it.
That's
how
we're
right
that
that
that's
not
that's,
not
an
issue
from
a
logistical
perspective.
Here
are
the
concerns
operationally
that
I
have,
because
this
is
a
home
buying
initiative
that
is
actually
codified
in
our
city,
Charter
process,
I,
don't
know
to
what
extent
a
line
like
arpa
is
usable
off
the
cuff,
it
seems
to
me
like
it
would
be
that's
my
own
personal
opinion,
and
we
can
have
that
discussion
if
we
want.
B
But
the
question
is:
if
we're
going
to
amend
this
legislation
right
now,
I'm
operating
on
the
Assumption-
and
please
tell
me
wrong,
but
I'm,
assuming
all
seven
of
us
do
not
have
an
actual
budget
line
here
to
pull
something
from
so
considering
that
we
don't
have
that
at
least
right
now,
logistically
amending
that
in
that
fashion,
not
morally
wrong,
just
not
possible
or
feasible
at
this
particular
moment.
So
that's
one
thing.
The
second
thing
is
is
because
of
the
process
that
is
codified
in
the
city
Charter
with
the
first
time
home
buyer
program.
B
D
B
G
When
I
came
in
tonight,
I
was
in
support
of
it.
But
after
listening
to
my
colleagues,
I
would
like
to
change
and
I
was
thinking.
I
mean
the
land
bank.
We
gave
we
sat
here
and
approved
three
million
dollars
to
go
to
the
land
bank.
All
right.
Why
doesn't
the
land
bank
she's
going
to
have
to
spend
another
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
fix
it
up?
Why
don't
we
get
sixty
thousand
dollars
from
you
know
all
right.
B
C
B
E
B
A
F
At
the
work
session,
oh
thank
you.
President
work
session,
Chief
Zuki
said
that
most
of
the
shots
fired
are
to
destroy
animals,
so
this
seems
like
a
steep
price
to
pay,
even
with
the
the
buyback
which
would
be
I
forget
exactly
how
much
thirty
five
thousand
fifty
five
thousand
I
don't
remember
exactly,
but
that's
still
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
guns
to
shoot
animals,
don't
love
it.
F
G
G
So
we're
not
we're
not
adding
money
to
the
to
the
police
budget
and
having
had
my
family
recently
deal
with
the
police
department,
I
have
to
say
that
if
they're
carrying
guns
I
want
them
to
have
a
gun,
that
is
that
what
they
consider
the
safest
for
them
and
for
constituents
within
the
city
of
Binghamton
and
so
I
I'm
I'm.
For
this
thanks.
Thank
you.
Council
members.
C
Thank
you
Mr
President,
so
obviously
you
know
how
I
feel
about
the
Binghamton
Police,
Department
and
I.
Think
if
they,
if
chisholacy
comes
down
here
said
these
guns
are
better
for
the
police
department,
they're
better
for
men
and
women
as
big
as
the
police
department
I'm
all
for
it.
Obviously
so
I
will
support
you.
This
thanks
thank.
D
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
agree
with
a
comment,
so
we
just
made.
First
of
all,
there
is
a
transfer
here
and
it's
not
costing
additional
money.
Also,
you
know
when
you
hear
that
other
law
enforcement
agencies,
including
the
FBI,
for
example,
are
moving
towards.
This
only
makes
sense,
I
think
that
we
can
do
what
we
can
to
support
our
our
law
enforcement.
E
Q,
council
president
and
again,
thank
you
colleagues
for
your
comments.
We
pretty
much
knew
what
would
be
said
based
upon
what
was
shared
again,
that
data
that
was
given
to
us
as
Council
people
and
many
of
us
researchers.
It
was
from
2014..
It
was
mentioned
that
this
is
something
that
the
county
and
other
municipalities
are
moving
to
do,
but
we
did
not
subsequently
receive
the
data
to
support
that
this
is
the
top
the
latest
and
the
greatest
in
terms
of
innovative
strategies
for
the
police
department.
I
also
asked
the
chief.
E
If
we
were
to
do
a
survey,
if
he'd
done
an
anecdotal
survey,
would
they
be
happy?
He
said
he
hadn't
asked
they
might
complain
about
holsters,
then
I
asked
well.
Would
they
prioritize
guns
as
one
of
the
top
needs
in
the
agency?
He
also
said
he
had
not
asked
so
I,
don't
want
us
to
say
things
on
the
mic
that
people
will
repeat
that
were
not
necessarily
what
was
provided.
E
We
did
not
have
data
to
say
that
this
is
where
police
academies,
police
departments
are
going
period
that
was
from
2014
and
when
I
asked
when
that
literature
came
out.
Did
we
make
a
motion
to
move
in
that
direction?
One
had
not
now
that
does
not
say
that
I
don't
support
having
something
someone
believes
to
be
true
and
the
best
and
I
also
support
the
fact
that
again,
we
are
decreasing
the
revenue
in
one
line,
obviously
that
we
didn't
need
to
support
such
so.
B
Or
any
other
discussion,
I'll
just
I'll
just
add
I
I'll
be
I'll
I'll,
just
be
very
honest,
given
my
own
training
I
I
was
actually
I
was
a
little
surprised
at
this
that
a
that
a
40
cal,
you
know
being
replaced
with
a
nine
millimeter,
would
would
be
kind
of
put
forward
in
a
proactive
manner.
I
I
can
understand
some
of
the
the
aspects
of
it
in
relation
to
things
like
recoil
and
things
like
that.
B
B
B
The
argument,
I
guess
is,
is
that,
from
a
from
a
defensive
perspective,
a
firearm
that
discharges
a
40
caliber
because
of
the
because
of
the
size
and
the
ability
and
the
speed
of
that
bullet,
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
recoil
with
a
handgun
in
particular
that
discharges
a
bullet
in
the
size
of
a
40
caliber
right.
So
the
recoil
is
when
you're
holding
the
firearm
and
you
pull
the
trigger
and
the
bullet
discharges.
The
Recoil
is
the
amount
at
which
that
firearm
bounces
back
that's.
B
Why
they
call
it
recoil,
so
it
coils
back.
A
nine
millimeter
will
recoil.
Generally
speaking,
less
than
a
40
caliber
will
so
I
guess.
The
the
argument
is
is
if
there's
less
recoil,
and
that
is
an
issue
for
an
officer
where
I
could
see
that
potentially
could
be,
depending
on
the
individual
person
less
recoil
in
those
few
seconds
that
an
officer
has
to
make
that
split
decision.
They
can
aim
more
appropriately.
They
can
aim
more
directly
and
so
the
that
that
fired
shot
would
be
more
accurate,
so
I
I
can
understand
that.
B
E
B
D
A
B
G
G
B
B
Thank
you.
Madam
clerk
introductory
ordinance
23-126
passes.
I
know
this
was
I
know
this
was
in
depth
and
councilman
Burns
I
I
will,
for
the
record,
I
understand
this.
This
hits
you
on
a
personal
sense
with
you
and
your
family
and
I
appreciate
you
sharing
that
I
know,
there's
a
lot
there
to
that
and
I.
Thank
you
all
for
the
discussion.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Councilman
Burns
all
right.
That
being
said,
we
will
move
on
to
Communications
from
Council
and
chair
recognizes
councilman
resinetti.
D
Thank
you,
I,
don't
really
have
much
to
say
just
continuously
I
guess,
I
want
to
repeat
my
gratitude
to
DPW
and
all
the
work
that
they're
doing
construction
season
is
still
going
on.
I
also
have
seen
the
sweepers
out
there
really
at
full
force
and
I,
don't
know
if
this
they're
out
there
all
the
time,
but
it
just
feels
like
they're
out
there
a
lot
recently,
maybe
just
timing,
they're,
doing
an
amazing
job.
D
D
Also
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
fantastic
it
is
to
see
red
park
so
full
of
life.
It's
been
embraced
by
all
the
tennis
players,
the
pickleball
players
one
day,
I'll
find
out
what
that
is
all
about
pickleball
and
it
just
it
just
looks
great.
It
looks
fantastic
and
I
guess
before
we
meet
next
time,
we'll
be
done
with
summer
right.
B
E
Thank
you
again,
council
president.
So,
yes,
similar
to
my
colleague,
I,
want
to
give
kudos
to
Parks
and
Rec,
because
not
only
do
they
make
sure
that
the
typical
parks
are
beautiful,
we
have
other
Parks
too,
that
don't
have
necessarily
pools,
but
they
are
just
as
pretty
like
Walnut
Park
and
they
make
sure
that
the
neighbors
have
a
park.
That's
just
as
much
fun
with
it
within
walking
distance
of
their
homes
and
the
thing
is
they
don't
end
in
the
summer?
E
So
we
have
a
lot
of
fall
activities,
so
I
want
to
again
give
kudos
to
that
entire
department.
I
also
want
to
wish
a
happy
Yom
Kippur
to
those
who
celebrate,
we
will
be
approaching
I
know,
don't
look
at
me.
I
took
your
I
can
say
it
too.
Those
that
are
that
celebrate
as
we
approach
another
high
holiday
and
then
again,
the
Girl
Scouts
women
of
Distinction
event
will
be
occurring
next
week.
E
G
E
What
that
means
is
it's
getting
cold
and
those
of
you
that
don't
know
we
have
a
lot
of
unhoused
residents
that
again,
because
we
are
unable
to
find
shelter
are
living
in
tents
that
we
supported
from
the.
Why
and
it's
not
the
I
mean
again
it's
an
option,
but
that
means,
if
you
have
codes,
if
you
have
blankets,
if
you
have
items
that
would
be
beneficial
to
these
residents,
our
neighbors,
please,
please
donate
them.
There
are
very.
There
are
several
donation
sites.
E
There
is
going
to
be
a
buy,
nothing
broom
event,
I
know
you'll,
councilwoman
Friedman
will
talk
at
length
about
that,
but
again
it's
time
to
think
of
those
that
are
less
fortunate
and
if
we
have
something,
let's
support
residents,
who
feel
is
safer
to
stay
in
the
tent
than
to
move
in
some
of
the
housing
options
we
provide,
and
that
says
a
lot.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
president
scrunchie.
The
mayor
today
sent
me
a
picture
of
Morgan
Street,
so
construction
has
finally
started
on
Morgan's,
which
is
very
exciting.
I
hear
about
that
street,
the
most
that
is
in
need
of
repaving.
It
was
on
the
list
for
in
the
cdbg
fiscal
year
action
plan
for
last
year.
Then
it
got
taken
off
because
there
were
issues,
and
so
finally
we're
going
to
do
it
right,
we're
going
to
repeat
it
hopefully
next
year,
but
I'm
so
excited
that
construction
has
finally
started
on
that.
So
that
is
very
exciting.
F
F
They
help
a
lot
of
unhoused
people
in
the
area
and
the
Phoenix
awards
are
an
annual
award
ceremony
to
honor
on
Heroes,
doing
excellent
work
in
our
communities.
That's
going
to
be
at
a
trio
Banquet
Hall,
which
I
recently
learned
is
pronounced,
not
atrio,
so
I've
been
pronouncing
it
wrong
for
years.
So
anyway,
that's
tomorrow
also
on
Monday
is
before
that
is
the
most
important
Jewish
holiday.
Believe
it
or
not.
It
is
not
Hanukkah,
even
though
that's
the
one
that
most
people
know
so
young
Kippur
is
a
very
very
holy
day.
F
If
you
Jewish
people
in
your
life,
it's
not
customary
to
wish
people
a
happy
Yom
Kippur,
but
you
can
wish
them
an
easy
fast.
Many
people
will
choose
too
fast
on
that
day
and
you
can.
You
can
wish
them
a
meaningful,
Yom
Kippur
and
a
an
easy
fat
is
the
appropriate
thing
to
say
and
the
buy
nothing
Market
is
also
on
that's
on
Sunday
and
that's
at
the
church
on
Chenango
Street.
F
Is
that
right,
549,
Shenango,
Street,
councilwoman
Riley's
verifying
for
me,
but
that's
a
great
opportunity
to
first
of
all
clean
out
your
closets
and,
secondly,
get
a
bunch
of
good
stuff
second
hand
for
free,
it's
literally,
to
buy
nothing.
Market
I've,
gotten
a
pair
of
pants
there
before
and
I
was
able
to
get
rid
of
a
bunch
of
stuff
that
I
no
longer
wore
drum
roll.
Okay,
it's
gonna
be
from
11
to
2
on
Sunday,
and
it
is
at
5
49,
Shenango
Street,
also
in
the
fourth
district
and
this
month's
buy
nothing.
F
B
G
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
then
guess
I'll
jump
on
the
parks
department,
bandwagon,
the
the
Tennis
Courts
at
MacArthur.
They
realigned
them
this,
they
repaved
and
they
realigned
them
and
put
the
pickleball
lines
in
there
and
I
went
by
today
and
yesterday
and
everybody's
playing
pickleball
and
the
hardcore
tennis
players.
Don't
like
the
pickleball
lines.
G
And
then
they
figured
that
this
part
of
the
sidewalk.
This
one
square
was
good
cement.
So
they
won't
replace
that
and
then
they
replaced
a
couple
more
and
then
they
didn't
replace
so
it
it
was
a
complete
mismatch.
In
front
of
these
poor
people's
houses
and
I
mentioned
it
to
him,
and
this
week,
they're
they're,
adding
more
sidewalk
to
Vestal
Avenue,
but
they're
going
back,
they're
matching
the
cement.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor.
It's
nice
to
be
heard,
and
that's
it
for
me.
Thanks
thank.
H
Yes,
I
actually
got
stopped
at
that
detour,
where
they're
putting
those
sidewalks
in
on
vessel
lab
not
to
just
relay
the
same
thing,
but
I
legitimately
have
heard
several
people
last
night
from
my
side
of
town,
commenting
on
Rec
Park
as
well
looks
great
pickleball
as
well
all
over
the
place,
even
though
it
was
original
state
project.
I
think
the
city
will
have
some
maintenance
responsibility,
but
the
new
walkway
on
the
south
side
is
being
used.
H
A
lot
and
it
looks
nice
looks
great
all
lit
up
at
night,
so
and
actually
one
of
the
people
that
mentioned
talked
to
you
yesterday
was
councilman
Burns's,
son-in-law
first
time
up
in
several
years
at
Ely,
Park
and
absolutely
loved.
It
he's
a
golfer
but
just
hasn't
been
up
there
until
I
think
just
this
week
and
said
he
couldn't
believe
how
good
it
looks
so
Rec
opportunities,
this
fall
abound
in
in
the
city
of
Binghamton.
So
there's
pile
on
that
subject.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
so,
to
reiterate
what
all
my
colleagues
have
been
saying
that
Parks
have
never
looked
better
in
the
city
of
Binghamton,
we're
fortunate.
We
have
Rec
Park
in
the
middle
of
the
city,
there's
not
too
many
cities
that
have
a
park
besides
a
Rec
Park,
you
know
in
their
in
their
area.
So
it's
really
nice
to
see
in
all
the
activity
right
park.
C
C
C
So
it's
all
positive
stuff,
one
more
thing
in
my
district
there's
a
gentleman
who
was
I
think
the
American
them
six
times
in
the
past
three
weeks
and
the
neighbor
called
me
and
said:
should
they
limit
the
amount
they
can,
how
many
times
they
can
Narcan
somebody
I
said:
well,
these
First
Responders
don't
think
like
that
they
want
to
get
there.
They
want
to
save
them.
That's
they.
C
They
don't
they're,
not
going
to
hesitate
because
they've
been
there
five
times
before,
they're,
not
going
to
take
their
time
they're
going
to
try
to
save
the
who's
ever
evolved
there
and
I
hope
the
gentleman
gets
help
someday,
but
and
it's
not
by
districts
all
over
the
city,
the
Narcan
and
I
I.
Don't
even
want
to
know
how
many
times
people
are
Narcan.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
Scanlon
myself,
with
just
a
few
things
kind
of
a
little
scattered
around
between
whether
it's
the
first
district
or
city
of
Binghamton.
So
first
I
wanna
want
to
thank
the
thank.
The
BPD
I
actually
heard
a
an
amazing
story
today,
the
first
part
of
which
I
knew
but
the
second
I
I
didn't
I
literally
heard
this
today.
B
That
was
awesome.
I
mean
I
I
I've
heard
over
and
over
again
just
the
amount
of
positive
energy
that
I'm
hearing
from
residents
again,
whether
it's
First,
District
or
anywhere
in
the
city,
and
you
know
I
think
again,
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
that
the
allocation
of
the
officers
who
are
actually
walking
the
foot
patrols
they're
volunteering
for
that.
So
they
actually
really
want
to
do
it
right,
not
that
other
officers
do
not,
but
there's
just
an
even
greater
passion
there
and
I.
B
B
That's
running
through
that
in
the
first
district,
more
specifically
just
like
Parks,
whether
it's
families
or
friends
or
family
playing
basketball
over
the
First
Ward,
Park
or
tennis
over
in
rec
park,
or
even
some
of
our
smaller
Parks
like
sunflower,
Park.
It's
just
a
it
just
looks
amazing.
So
whether
it
was
self-start
Parks
like
sunflower,
Park
was
back
in
the
late
2000s
early
2010s,
with
the
residents
over
in
the
first
district
and
I
think
Walmart
Street
Park
is
actually
one
of
those
Parks
as
well.
B
I
might
be
wrong
about
that,
but
the
community-based
park,
rather
I,
should
say
Walnut
I,
I
drove
by
there.
Actually
just
the
other
day.
It
looks
great
and
I
just
I
want
to
thank
the
parks
department
as
well
as
all
as
our
residents.
It's
just
great
to
see
everybody
out
and
all
that
type
of
stuff.
We
had
a
neighborhood
watch
meeting
in
down
the
ward
we
had
over
almost
50
people
attended.
B
It
was
absolutely
amazing,
it's
just
it's
it's
growing
again
as
we're
as
we're
getting
out
of
the
post.
Hopefully
continuing
postcode
pandemic
and
people
are
coming
back
out
again,
which
is
a
great
discussion,
and
it's
just
great
to
see
that
I'm
I'm,
actually
gonna,
follow
up
on
something
councilman
Riley
said
I
know
a
lot
of
people
like
myself
or
families
where
I
usually
do
like
a
spring
or
a
summer
cleaning.
You
know
and
house,
or
something
like
that.
B
You
know
Saint
Pat's,
on
on
on
the
Wet
Side
they've
got
a
they've,
got
a
great
clothing
drop
off
and
there
are
other
awesome
clothing
drop-offs
in
throughout
the
city.
If
you
do
have
something,
please
drop
it
off,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
shoes
whether
it
be
sneakers
shoes
boots
with
their
codes.
You
know
whatever
it
might
be,
especially
with
the
with
the
weather.
B
So
you
know,
if
you're
doing
any
summer
cleaning
just
keep
that
in
the
back
of
your
mind,
I
know
I'm,
probably
going
to
be
doing
that
next
week.
Actually,
the
roads
are
just
looking
amazing,
whether
it's
finishing
up
a
Glenwood,
floral,
Floral
Ave
and
all
the
updates
that
are
going
on
there
across
the
councilwoman,
resinetti
and
and
the
first
her
District
that
she
represents
in
the
first
district
is,
is
great
to
see
all
the
way
to
the
the
JC
line.
B
So
I
definitely
want
to
thank
DPW
all
the
third
party
people
who
are
putting
in
the
sidewalks
whether
it's
torto
mayor
kram
and
the
mayor's
office
for
prioritizing
all
that
stuff.
It's
just
great
to
see
all
those
roads.
I
know
we
get
a
lot
of
phone
calls
about
this.
You
know
I
I,
don't
think
we
thank
them
enough.
We
really
have
an
awesome
for
the
core
group
that
they
are.
We
really
have
an
amazing
code
inspector
department.
They
do
a
lot
of
work.
B
They
really
really
do
whether
it's
citations,
whether
it's
following
up
whether
it's
the
court
system
I
just
I,
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
them
for
for
all
the
work
that
they
do
and,
lastly,
to
any
of
my
friends
or
colleagues
that
separate
I
hope
you
had
a
happy
Rosh,
Hashanah,
happy,
New,
Year
and
you
know
I
think
it
is
important
to
remember,
for
those
who
do
celebrate.
Yom
Kippur
is
a
very,
very
solemn
and
and
holy
holiday
for
for
those
who
celebrate.
B
So
in
the
spirit
of
of
that
tradition,
I
wish
you
councilwoman
Freeman
and
all
those
who
celebrating
Yom
Kippur
in
the
easy,
fast
and
and
I
hope
you
have
a
a
holy
holiday.
So
that
being
said,
that's
the
remain
around
my
remarks.
Thank
you
for
everyone
for
all
the
great
discussion
today.
This
time
you'll
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
so.
