All
right,
thank
you.
Everyone
I
apologize.
I
meant
to
be,
was
planning
to
be
down
there
right
until
the
last
minute.
I
just
had
something
come
up
at
home
and
thought
well
just
use
the
modern
technology,
so
it
seems
to
be
working.
Okay,
so
looks
like
everything
is
set,
mr
clerk,
can
you
do
a
roll
call
for
us.
A
B
E
E
wow,
but
the
smaller
plow
truck
we
put
in,
for
they
had
two
on
a
lot
that
we
can
have
by
january
and
that's
like
a
five
ton
truck,
which
we
use
quite
a
bit
on
the
hills.
It's
four
wheel
drive.
We
use
it
all
year
round,
it's
a
great
truck,
so
I
switched
over
to
get
those
two
instead
of
the
the
big
one
that
saved
us
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
E
I
went
to
corp
council,
we
talked
to,
I
talked
to
brian
and
we
can
beat
it
probably
if
we
fight
it
in
the
long
run,
because
we
already
signed
for
those
trucks,
but
he
said
you
know,
are
those
trucks
will
be
sold
and
we'll
be
out
out
of
three
garbage
trucks
that
we
need.
So
we
we
need
to
use
the
money
that
I'm
saving
on
the
plow
truck
to
put
towards
the
garbage
trucks.
B
E
And
also
phil,
just
just
imagine:
we
lost
three
trucks.
Last
year
I
mean
they'd
had
enough,
they
they
they're
all
trucks.
So
we
lost
three
plow
trucks.
Last
season
by
me.
Getting
these
two
550
plows,
I
didn't
realize
we
had
a
freightliner
coming,
which
was
the
big
truck.
I
had
to
cancel
this
year.
We
have
one
coming.
It
should
be
here
by
january,
so
we'll
have
those
three
trucks
to
replace
the
three
that
we
lost.
F
E
B
E
Well,
yes,
probably
in
a
year
or
two
probably
two
years,
we
might
have
to
purchase
one
but
by
then
I
I'll
look
at
other
options,
but
there
was
no
way
we
could
just
wait.
Go
through
two
winners.
Before
I
get
a
big
plow
to
replace
what
we're
losing
because
we'd
be
down,
you
know
a
plow
and,
and
god
knows
we
need
everything
we
got
because
there's
some
old
equipment.
H
G
E
G
E
No,
these
garbage
trucks
are
the
ones
that
were
ordered
last
year
and
and
they
we
did
have
a
we
paid
and
we
had
a
contract
with
these
garbage
trucks,
but
because
of
the
everything
going
up
in
the
inflation
and
what's
going
on
the
vendor
for
the
back
end
of
the
truck,
because
it's
two
different
vendors,
he
raised
the
price
by
eighteen
thousand
dollars
a
piece
and
he
said
if
you
don't
like
it,
I'll
sell
them
this
week
I
mean,
obviously
I
talked
to
the
corp
council.
We're
not
gonna
do
business
with
these
guys
again.
E
G
E
I
Councilwoman
riley,
what
we
have
is
try
to
explain
a
little
bit.
What
dan's
saying
is
we
buy
a
truck
okay,
that's
the
front
and
like
a
little
metal
piece
on
the
back,
and
then
we
buy
the
garbage
truck
that
crushes
all
the
stuff
and
put
that
on
top,
the
crusher
is
what's
costing
us
all
the
extra
money.
Okay,
it
took
a
while
to
get
the
actual
truck
here
before
we
could
put
the
crusher
on
there.
What
I
think
you
may
be
confusing
about
is
we
take
the
garbage
to
the
landfill.
I
E
G
However,
we
did
contract
when
we
needed
extra
help
with
other
vendors,
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
the
residents
knew
that
there
was
a
difference
between
a
continued
relationship
and
an
emergency-based
service
that
were
depending
on
external
contractors.
Okay,
which
is
why
we're
allocating
resources
towards
it.
It's
similar
to
what
we
kind
of
talked
about
during
the
winter,
because
there
were
times
we
were
renting
or
with
those
plows
remember-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
confusion
out
in
the
community
about
if
we
owned
our
own
trucks
or
are
we?
Are
we
dependent
upon
external
contractors?
I
E
Yes,
yes,
that's
correct
that
beat,
and
I-
and
I
explained
also
that
large
truck
that
we're
we're
not
getting
if
we
decided
to
move
forward
with
the
purchase
of
that,
you
would
have
to
wait
till
march
of
2024
to
get
it
which
isn't
going
to
help
us
for
the
next
two
snow
seasons
and
the
truck
that
we
are
getting.
The
two
smaller
trucks
are
very,
very.
They
help
us
out
a
lot
in
the
hills
in
the
smaller
streets,
because
the
bigger
trucks
can't
get
down
it.
So
we
use
those
quite
a
bit.
E
B
Welcome
before
we
mine
just
real
quickly,
I
could
see
pretty
good,
but
for
some
reason
I
don't
just
feel
free,
just
to
politely,
speak
up
and
and
don't
necessarily
wait
for
me.
If,
for
some
reason,
I'll
see
you
down
there
to
raise
your
hands,
I
don't
want
to
want
to
hold
anybody
up
from
any
questions.
So.
B
B
B
J
All
right
will
we
sorry.
We
already
have
a
lease
agreement
with
metro
interfaith,
to
use
those
two
lots
for
a
community
garden,
22
and
24
new
street.
They
would
like
to
fence
the
gardens,
for,
I
guess,
they're
having
some
issues
with
people
vandalizing,
so
they'd
like
to
fence
the
gardens,
says
vines
and
spence
the
other
gardens,
but
because
it's
fema
property
they
can't
put
the
fences
on
the
property,
so
they
can
attach
to
our
existing
fences.
J
So
I
would
like
to
just
have
that
added
to
their
lease
as
an
addendum
to
allow
them
to
place
the
front
fence
along
six
inches
of
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
their
garden,
and
it
would
attach
to
fences
that
are
either
owned
by
metro,
the
joining
properties
owned
by
metro,
interfaith
or
already
existing
fences
which
we're
allowed
to
do
with
fema.
We
just
can't
install
any
new
permanent.
B
Okay
for
us,
but
yeah,
that's
too
bad!
Here
I
can
sit
on
my
back
porch
and
watch
people
using
those
gardens.
It's
very
nice
to
see
and
very
enjoyable.
I
have
not
seen
any
of
the
ends
of
those
personally
that
that's
unfortunate,
but
but
that
street
is
kind
of
dead
down
there
anyway.
So
I
don't
think
there's
six
inches
of
sidewalks
dead
in
the
sense
of
well.
It
is
dead
zen's
at
434,
so
I
don't
think
six
inches
of
sidewalk
is
gonna.
Hurt,
hurt
anything
down
there.
B
B
K
K
This
doesn't
require
an
amendment
to
the
action
plan
it's
staying
within
housing
activities,
but
the
issue
is
that
we've
sort
of
geared
up
our
our
rehab
program
after
covid
and
we
haven't
taken
into
account
that
we
haven't,
we
haven't
funded,
lead
in
a
while
because
we
had
so
much
in
there
from
past
years,
but
we're
getting
to
the
point
where
we're
gonna
need
to
have
additional
lead
testing
money
for
each
of
the
rehab
programs.
So
that's
that's.
G
This
is
councilwoman
riley
hi,
mr
carson.
How
are
you
doing
all
right?
How
you
doing
good?
We
don't
have
any
of
the
background
paperwork
that
is
associated
with
this
rl.
So
can
you
tell
us
what
is
this
risk
assessment?
Who
will
be
responsible
for
it?
What
what
do
you
have
anything
you
can
add
to
this
proposal.
K
So
that
involves
prior
to
rehab
work,
going
through
doing
testing
to
see
where
there's
potential
lead
safety
issues
that
in
and
of
itself
can
change
the
nature
of
the
rehab
program.
So,
for
example,
if
there's
kids
in
the
in
the
property,
we
may
change
the
nature
of
exactly
how
we're
going
to
do
the
to
do
rehab
work
because
sometimes
you
can
stabilize,
but
sometimes
you
have
to
fully
remediate.
G
G
K
So
essentially,
this
is
taking
from
the
money
that
potentially
could
go
towards
a
housing
project,
but
no
more,
it
would
be.
Oh,
let's
say
a
third
of
a
full
rehab
project
or
even
three
first-time
homebuyer
projects,
but
it's
kind
of
necessary
and
there's
essentially
no
other
source
of
these
fun
funds.
For
this
it
has
to.
G
G
G
K
K
K
I
double
checked
the
numbers
and
yes,
that
was
15
000
is
correct.
That'll
do
approximately
slightly
over
15
of
our
rehabs
the
lead
testing
for
slightly
15
of
our
rehabs,
which
from
pete
in
my
office,
that's
approximately
how
many
he
anticipates
before
the
beginning
of
the
next
fiscal
year,
which
would
be
september
1st
2023.
C
Hi
everybody
hi-
this
is
22-193.
This
is
a
resolution
to
approve
it's
essentially
all
one
loan
for
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
claw
industries.
It's
broken
up
into
two
separate
loans,
two
separate
accounts,
but
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
will
function
as
one
loan.
This
is
to
support
part
of
a
larger
project
that
claw's
doing
to
be
able
to
scale
up
their
operations
at
their
griswold
street
location.
C
It
will
flag
that
the
loan
is
contingent
upon
clock
and
in
the
rest
of
their
financing,
they're,
currently
working
with
several
different
banks
to
determine
where
that
financing
will
come
from,
but
this
will
enable
them
to
be
more
flexible
when
that
financing
comes
in
we'll
have
everything
set
up
on
rm,
but
it
will
be
contingent
upon
them.
Getting
that
other
financing
and
happy
to
take
any
other
questions.
G
Absolutely
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
tied
that
in
so
that
again
our
constituents
understand
that
these
young
men
have
a
novel
idea.
They
won
the
competition,
we're
trying
to
support
them,
and
this
ties
into
that
press
release
that
our
constituents
typically
get
before
we
get
legislation,
so
I
just
wanted
to
tie
it
all
together
with
a
pretty
bow.
Thank
you.
F
Councilman
stron,
so
this
is
to
extend
the
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
school
district
for
school
resource
officers
at
binghamton,
high
school
and
the
middle
schools.
Council
last
approved
an
extension
in
august
2021
this
one's
for
the
22-23
school
year.
There
have
been
no
changes
to
the
agreements
outside
of
the
mayor's
name
and
the
dates
on
the
on
the
contract.
B
B
D
Megan,
how
are
you
hi,
council,
member,
I'm?
Well,
how
are
you
I'm
good,
so
I
it
was
hard
to
hear
the
last
thing
that
you
said.
Did
you
say
that
there
have
been
no
no
changes
in
this
or
have
there
been
changes
in
this
contract,
and
this
is
simply
an
extension
duplicating
this.
This
agreement
for
the
following
year,
nope.
F
F
B
H
Yeah
megan,
I
know
don
and
vessel,
they
have
sro
officers
at
the
elementary
schools,
and
you
know
that
thing
that
happened
in
texas,
texas
was
in
elementary
school.
Then
a
couple
of
the
major
shootings
have
been
elementary
schools
and
I'm
just
wondering
I
don't
know.
If
you
have
the
answer
or
not,
it's
why
we
don't
have
an
sro
at
the
elementary
schools.
F
The
school
district
hasn't
approached
us
about
that
councilman
burns.
I
I
can't
really
speak
any
any
further
to
it
than
that,
but
I
know
we
started
with
an
sro
at
the
high
school
and
then
several
years
later,
they
requested
one
in
each
of
the
middle
schools
and
that
that's
where
we're
at
with
with
them
right
now,.
F
B
I
I
196
is
increasing
the
salary
from
the
current
position
through
the
end
of
the
year
by
158
dollars
and
46
cents
per
pay
period,
there's
10
and
a
half
left,
and
that
total
amount
is
1,
63
and
83
cents.
This
person
is
going
to
come
from
another
department
and
they're
going
to
do
part
of
their
other
job
through
the
end
of
the
year.
D
D
D
D
D
I
Legislation
we
passed
back
in
april
6,
where
we're
taking
everything
from
trust
accounts
to
or
what
they
call
ta
accounts
to
custodial
accounts.
Okay,
when
I
did
that
one,
I
forgot
to
move
the
actual
money
over,
so
this
is
just
moving
that
money
over.
So
you
can
see
the
different
trust
accounts.
We
have
aca
memorial,
kaboom
rebuild
911
memorial,
all
the
items
listed
there
and
the
dollars
we're
just
transferring
them
from
the
ta
fund
to
the
tc
fund.
I
I
B
I
H
I
H
I
I
B
Yep,
okay,
I
definitely
agree
not
that
I'm
sure
they're
fine
and
not
that
it's
not
not
nothing
for
them
personally,
I'm
assuming,
but
we
but
it
is.
It
is
an
issue.
We've
had
a
couple
people
down
for
now
for
a
work
session,
though
that's
that's
the
first
time
for
a
work
session.
So,
okay,
we
will
work
with
the
administration
corporate
council
on
that.
Just
to
see
what
we
should
do
for
that.
B
L
B
L
L
G
L
M
B
L
L
It
would
be
the
proposed
change
to
the
definition
of
family
or
actually,
the
functional
equivalent
of
a
family
and
the
proposed
zone
changes
from
r1
to
r2
and
r2
the
minor
zone
changes,
and
then
that
map
will
be
reviewed
by
planning
commission
and
they
might
make
changes
or
referrals
and
then
it'll
be
shipped
back
to
the
planning
to
this
city.
Council
43,
for
it.
B
D
L
Of
legislation-
and
there
is
a
draft
some
draft
language
that
the
planning
commission
will
have
to
review.
They
will
then
count
on
it
and
then
they'll
either.
Sometimes
they
say,
they'll
give
their
approval,
just
as
it
is
sometimes
that
they
will
distribute
change
or
that
everything-
and
this
should
be
added
to
that-
can
be
taken
out.
M
What
I,
if
I
could,
what
I
would
say
is
that
the
planning
commission
is
the
first
body
that
takes
any
sort
of
discretionary
action
on
legislation
involving
rezoning.
So
in
the
past
the
the
map
or
the
text
amendment
would
be
included
in
the
work
session
packet.
But
council
wouldn't
act
on
that
anyway.
They
would
just
sort
of
make
a
motion
or
or
go
ahead
and
refer
to
the
planning
commission
and
then,
when
it
comes
back
to
the
next
work
session,
council
typically
would
deliberate
at
that
point.
L
D
Okay,
so
I
know
I
know
that
the
the
cannabis
rezoning
has
been
available
for
public
comment
on
the
website.
I
haven't
seen
anything
formal
regarding
the
the
student
or
the
rather,
I
sense
the
rezoning
from
our
sorry.
I
don't
know
the
form
the
functional
family
rezoning
in
essence,
and
even
I
don't
think
that
the
cannabis
legislation
has
been
in
our
packets.
Officially
I
mean
I
just
had
like.
I
think
I
opened
the
link
like
from
my
email
or
something
but
yeah.
So
I
think,
like
I
agree
with
councilman
reilly.
D
D
L
G
Councilwoman
riley
again,
particularly
when-
and
this
is
why
I
keep
bringing
up
the
timing
press
release
legislation,
because
our
constituents
call
us
immediately
and
if
we're
not
a
prize
that
bring
our
red
into
what's
happening,
we
can't
adequately
provide
a
response,
and
if
there
is
draft
language
and
we're
expected
to
reply,
refer
or
recommend
whatever
the
language
is.
As
elected
officials,
we
should
be
apprised
of
that
information.
We
should
be
given
the
information
because
we
are
held
accountable
for
knowing
this
information,
particularly
when
there
are
even
council
members
quoted
in
the
press
releases.
G
G
B
B
M
That
that's
correct
and
we
we
can
distribute
the
materials
tomorrow.
First
thing
in
the
morning:
they
the
the
final
draft
for
the
student
housing
and
the
final
map
for
the
student
housing
legislation,
was
not
done
at
the
time
that
at
the
rl
deadline.
So
that's
the
explanation
for
for
that.
Okay,
but.
E
B
B
Okay,
because
then
we
could
just
make
it
formal,
because
because
we
typically
wouldn't
vote
or
do
anything
I
don't
know
typically
in
a
work
session.
I
guess
we
could,
but
it
seems
like
that
would
be
a
more
normal
normal
course
of
action.
Anyway,
if,
like
I
said,
I
won't
hold
anything
up
and
it
appears.
H
B
M
M
L
H
N
G
L
L
M
I
would
also
point
out
that
that
there
will
be
additional,
the
planning
commission
will
will
have
a
public
hearing
for
the
legislation,
but
then
of
course,
council
will
have
you
all
will
have
your
own
public
hearing.
So
there'll
be
additional
opportunity
to
comment
even
after
the
planning
commission
meeting.
M
Not
true,
no,
that
that's
not
that's,
not
correct.
A
referral
from
city
council
is
just
basically
a
request
from
whatever
commissioner
agency
you're,
referring
the
matter
to
a
request
that
they
give
you
their
opinion
on
it.
So
it's
the
first
step
before
you
all
form
your
opinion.
You
want
that
sort
of
expert
advice
from
the
planning
commission,
since
it's
a
zoning
matter.
G
D
D
B
D
L
B
H
L
M
M
F
G
L
I
know
that
I
received
a
number
of
calls
asking
for
detail
and
I
declined
to
give
them
comments
because
I
was
like
until
the
planning
commission
has
reviewed
it
until
it's
gone
to
the
city
council
for
review
and
there's
been
public
comment,
I
can't
tell
you
what
effect
it's
gonna
have
any
property,
because
right
now
what
it's
proposed
could
change
before.
So
I
can't
tell
you
what
the
long
term
I
can
tell
you
sort
of
in
general
terms,
what
it's
supposed
to
do
or
what
it's
intended
purpose.
L
Either
the
standard
process
is,
it
comes
down
it
gets
on
for
on
the
agenda.
Someone
stands
up.
I
make
a
motion
that
we
refer
this
matter
to.
It
gets
referred
to
the
planning
commission
and
it
comes
back
a
month
later
and
then
you
have
a
public
meeting
and
then
you
hit
the
issue.
Listen
to
the
comment.
Have
they
have
a
public
meeting?
They
write
back
their
input
on
that.
Let
the
suggested
legislation.
L
B
Okay,
so
we'll
look
for
that
tomorrow,
tomorrow
in
the
morning
sometime
and
hopefully,
that'll
give
us
enough
information
to
do.
We
need
to
do
wednesday
and
move
the
process
forward
so
that
people
can
speak
into
it.
Mr
clerk,
anything
on
pending
legislation,
that's
noteworthy
for
wednesday,
any
changes
anything
we
should
be
aware
of.
A
L
D
B
I'll
have
I'll
have
brian
or
any
of
the
corporate
council
representatives
speak.
I
mean
my
understanding
is
that
we're
officially
extended
till
august
14th?
It
is
highly
unlikely
that
the
governor
will
not
extend
it
with
the
elections
coming
up,
but
that's
not
for
sure.
That's
just
my
opinion,
so
you.
N
B
My
personal
thought
is
that,
sometime
after
labor
day,
regardless
of
what
she
does,
we
should
have
a
discussion
about
opening
everything
up
back.
But
if
we
do
that,
then
then
everybody's
going
to
need
to
need
to
come
down,
I
believe
is
that
is
that
correct
brian.
If
we
decide
to
open
everything
back
up.
D
Okay,
yeah,
I'm
I'm
wondering
if
we
are
able
to
have
that
conversation
or
start
to
have
that
conversation
now,
so
that
after
labor
day
comes
we'll,
be
ready
for
in-person
meetings
again,
if
possible.
I'm
just
saying
this
because
I
know
I
have
constituents
who
are
anxious
to
come
back,
and
I
know
that
it
involves
some
logistical
concerns
like
having
security,
and
you
know
considering
some
legal
considerations
as
well
in
terms
of
what
does
that
mean?
For
you
know
what
kind
of
virtual
participation
is
allowable,
but
I'm
just
you
know.
B
L
B
B
B
So
then,
we'll
know
for
sure
whether
you
know
where
you
know
whether
it's
just
on
our
option
or
whether
it's
it's
being
dictated
otherwise
so-
and
I
don't
know-
I
guess
that's
just
me
being
upstate
new
york,
bingham
tony
and
that
the
when
school
starts
back
up,
everybody
seems
to
get
back
and
I
guess
we
could
do
any
time.
But
that
would
be
the
last.
Those
would
be
the
last
august
meetings.
B
I
don't
think
it'd
be
feasible,
so
probably
would
be
the
first
round
potentially
in
september
that
we
would
look
to
do
that
anyway,
and
we
could
work
with
lori
and
chuck
to
see
what
it
would
take
to
get
security
back
down
there
or
to
do
to
do
something
else
temporarily
for
security.
If
we
needed
to.
D
Yeah,
I
think
that
that
would
be
great.
I
think
I
I
would
really
appreciate
that,
and
I
mean
my
personal
opinion
is
that
you
know
the
virtual
meetings
were
implemented
as
a
covid
mitigation
strategy
and
now
that
we
we
we've
pretty
much
given
up
every
covid
mitigation
requirement
or
like
guideline
except
for
having
virtual
meetings,
and
so
I
you
know,
I
can
understand
why
people
are
getting
frustrated
because
it
seems
like-
and
I
know
it's
it's-
a
top
down
decision.
It
comes
from
the
governor's
office,
but
it
does
seem.
D
B
D
L
B
G
B
N
Well,
we
made
exceptions
for
public
hearings
due
to
the
public's
rights,
to
be
heard
primarily
due
to
the
fact
that
sending
people
home
after
they
came
would
deprive
them
of
their
right
to
be
heard.
Because
of
some
confusion,
please
remind
your
constituents
that
they're
participating
or
remotely
then.
