And
I'm
marianne
callahan,
we
will
go
right
to
our
presenters.
We
have
megan
hyman
from
the
mayor's
office
megan.
We
do
apologize
for
the
delay.
E
That's
no
problem
at
all
thanks
marianne,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
you
all
recall-
or
I
think
we
have
some
new
faces
here,
but
I
presented
the
mayor's
budget
to
cdac
last
year.
I
was
in
a
different
role.
Then
I
was
an
assistant
to
the
mayor
for
neighborhood
and
youth
affairs.
So
I'm
happy
to
be
back
here
tonight.
E
We
don't
have
from
hud,
yet
what
our
final
allocation
for
this
fiscal
year
will
be
so
it's
difficult
to
provide
the
committee
with
concrete
numbers
that
I
can
tell
you
certainly
won't
change,
but
I'm
happy
to
speak
generally
on
what
mayor
cram's,
funding
priorities
are
and
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
on
that.
To
the
extent
that
I
can
so
just
generally
speaking,
the
mayor's
office
is
looking
to
maintain
much
of
the
funding
levels
for
fiscal
year
48
and
continue
our
support
for
many
of
the
programs
and
initiatives
funded
in
recent
years.
E
A
few
items
that
I'll
highlight,
as
always,
we'll
be
looking
to
maximize
staff
salaries
to
not
only
support
city
departments
but
also
help
offset
the
city
tax
base
and
we'll
look
to
maintain
those
funding
levels
this
year.
For
our
demolition
and
blight
removal
program,
we're
looking
to
allocate
around
200
000
this
year
to
help
meet
the
need
that
we're
seeing
in
binghamton's
neighborhoods.
E
Another
priority
area
this
year
will
be
streets.
The
mayor's
office
is
looking
to
at
this
time,
allocate
roughly
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
its
mill
and
pave
program,
I'm
sure
if
you've
been
driving
around
the
city
much
many
of
you
have
probably
noticed
the
potholes
that
are
popping
up
all
over
this
time
of
year.
E
This
has
been
one
of
the
worst
winters
we've
had
as
it
relates
to
conditions
of
city
streets.
In
the
last
eight
years,
the
city
has
has
paved
about
90
miles
of
streets,
but
this
winter,
for
whatever
reason
with
the
weather
that
we're
having
seems
to
have
set
us
back
a
bit.
The
mayor
believes
that
you
know
it's
important.
We
continue
making
investments
in
our
infrastructure,
and
that
includes
really
every
neighborhood.
E
Neighborhoods
in
binghamton
or,
if
they're,
in
a
neighborhood
with
high
rates
of
poverty
or
a
distressed
neighborhood,
so
that
will
continue
to
be
a
priority
for
us
this
year.
And
that
being
said,
if
members
of
the
cdac
have
streets
in
their
neighborhoods
or
that
you
that
you
drive
on
on
your
way
to
work
or
dropping
your
kids
off
at
school,
that
you
feel
are
in
need
of
repair.
E
Please
let
us
know
that
we're
still
in
the
process
of
working
with
the
department
of
public
works
on
identifying
the
high
priority
streets
for
this
year,
and,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
that
the
mayor
may
want
to
adjust
some
of
these
numbers
as
we
get
a
fuller
picture
of
not
just
what
our
full
cdbg
allocation
will
be,
but
also
a
better
picture
of
what
the
what
the
winner
ends
up
doing
to
our
road
conditions.
E
The
human
services
and
capital
set
aside
as
a
competitive
process
we're
looking
to
maintain
funding
levels.
There
we'll
also
look
to
continue
supporting
youth
programming
and
maintaining
funding
to
the
boys
and
girls.
Clubs
and
the
vines
youth
employment
program
will
again
be
looking
to
support
the
cares.
Backpack
and
school
supply
program,
which
I'm
not
sure
is
this,
has
been
going
on
now
since
2017.,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
ever
been
included
in
this
part
of
the
budget,
it's
something
that
we
we
seem
to
come
to
see
with.
E
When
cares
comes
to
us,
but
we've
been
working
with
them
for
several
years
now.
We
know
that
this
is
a
program
that
we
want
to
continue.
Supporting.
Last
year,
we
provided
1
000
backpacks
filled
with
school
supplies
to
city
school
district
students.
That
was
the
most
we've
ever
given
out
and
that's
a
number
that
will
at
least
want
to
meet
again
this
year.
E
We
are
looking
at
setting
aside
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
general
parks
improvements,
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
mental
health
support.
If
you
remember,
last
year,
money
was
allocated
to
empass,
the
city
is
still
working
with
m
house.
Those
funds
haven't
been
spent
yet
steve
and
I
just
met
with
with
that
agency.
They
had
some
turnover,
it's
our
understanding
that
they,
their
intention,
is
to
spend
that
funding.
It's
a
partnership
with
the
binghamton
police
department.
E
So
I
I
can't
say
I
first
see
us
allocating
more
money
to
mhas
this
year
since
they're
still
working
on
spending
what's
been
allocated,
but
we
do
want
to
earmark
money
for
general
mental
health
support
and
we
also
want
to
maintain
funding
levels
to
fairview
recovery
services,
especially
as
our
community
has
been
enduring
this
spike
recently
in
overdoses,
and
seemingly
regular
reminders
that
this
opioid
epidemic
isn't
behind
us.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
highlights.
G
So
megan,
in
light
of
today's
the
article
that
was
in
the
presence
on
bulletin
today,
regarding
that
the
the
the
recreation
center
is
probably
a
no-go.
What
about
then,
are
you
going
to
work
to
reallocate
that
was
a
million
dollars?
I
believe
that
when
we
met
with
pat
mcginnis
that
that's
what
he
was
presenting
to
us,
yeah.
E
So
I
think
it
was
1.1
million
in
cdbg
that
had
been
allocated.
That
was
a
portion
of
the
funding.
The
city
had
also
set
aside
some
arca
money
for
that
project.
The
cdbg
portion
of
that
money
had
a
sunset
provision.
If
I'm
saying
that
correctly
steve,
where
we
had
a
certain
time
to
spend
those
funds,
city
council
is
actually.
E
So
city
council
is
actually
voting
tonight
if
they
don't
hold
it
over
on
legislation.
That
would
use
a
portion
of
that
cdbg
funds
to
meet
a
public
public
safety
need
with
the
fire
department.
They
needed
a
new
fire
truck
apparatus,
so
a
portion
of
that
has
already
been
earmarked.
It's
awaiting
city
council
approval
the
other
point
on
the
columbus
park
youth
center
project.
E
I
think
this
was
mentioned
in
the
newspaper
article-
is
that
the
city
has
been
following
for
some
time
now,
conversations
with
another
non-profit
in
saint
mary's
rec
center,
which
we
are
very
supportive
of
we're
kind
of
we
voice
our
support
both
to
saint
mary's
and
the
nonprofit
organization
that
is
pursuing
that
should
that
come
through,
which
we're
hopeful
of
we
would
have
city
support
to
put
behind
that
in
place
of
the
you
know,
the
new
construction
news
center
at
columbus
park,
st
mary's
rec
center,
is
right
across
the
street
and
would
hopefully
fill
the
same
need.
E
H
E
No,
I
don't
think
we
do
at
this
time.
There
was
an
earmark
that
the
mayor
wanted
to
make,
and
I
I
I'm
sure
that
the
parks
department
probably
has
several
shovel
ready
projects.
A
Mate,
this
may
be
a
question
more
for
steve,
but
megan
are
there
any
plans,
since
we
are
expanding,
what
code
enforcement
is
doing?
Is
there
any?
Are
there
any
plans,
or
can
there
be
any
plans
to?
Maybe
you
know
give
these
guys
a
little
bit
of
a
salary
bump.
They
they
are.
You
know
they
do
very
hard
work
and.
E
So,
as
part
of
the
code
reform
package
that
the
mayor
rolled
out
last
week,
there
is
a
new
code
inspector
position
being
funded
by
arca
in
terms
of
the
salaries
for
the
existing
code
officers.
Those
are
union
negotiated,
okay,
so
it's
not
as
simple
as
a
process.
Unfortunately,
okay.
A
As
time
goes
by,
can
you
give
us
figures
for
the
money
that
will
go
to
the
fire
department
and
to
st
mary's
and
anything
else
that
comes
out
of
that
money?
Sure.
E
D
E
What
city
council
is
voting
on
tonight
and
yes,
as
the
saint
mary's
progresses,
we'll
do
our
best
to
keep
every
everyone
in
the
loop
on
that.
C
Megan
this
is
deborah
hogan.
I
would
be
very
interested
because
it
seems
like
a
withdrawal
and
yet
again
another
disappointment
for
center
city.
So
I
would
be
very,
very
interested
to
see
what
program
in
what
support
we
will
be
garnering
in
the
near
future
and
projected
probably
the
next
12
months
I'll,
be
very
interested
in
hearing
that
bit
disappointed
with
the
news,
but
not
surprised,
but
thank
you
for
presenting
tonight.
E
Yeah
and
the
context
of
that
is
the
bids
for
that
new
construction
youth
center
projects
came
in
about
30
percent
higher
than
what
we
expected.
So
there
really
wasn't
a
way
for
the
city
to
move
forward
with
it.
We
had
allocated
our
funds
and
cdbg
funds
and
we
still
had
a
funding
shortfall.
E
There
is
a
separate
columbus
park,
improvement
project
that
my
understanding
is
still
moving
forward,
so
that's
upgrade
to
the
playground
area
and
and
the
park
in
general.
So
that's
a
positive,
but
we
are
hopeful
on
the
saint
mary's
rec
center
and
we'll
we'll
keep
you
posted.
C
E
It
wasn't
sent
out
for
rebid.
I
will
tell
you
that
it
was
a
long
process
with
cpl
the
firm
that
the
consultant
with
us
on
the
project.
It
was
reimagined,
at
least
throughout
that
process
several
times,
and
there
were
discussions
about
how
you
know.
Is
there
a
way
to
pare
this
down
that
it's
a
little
bit
more
feasible
and
we
did
and
it's
we
still
never
quite,
never
quite
got
it
to
the
point
where
those
those
dollar
figures
or
those
cost
figures
were
so
high.
E
A
H
So
it
looks
like
both
ryze
rice
is
here
and
captain
goodwill
is
here.
Sorry,
if
I
said,
is
officer
still,
okay,.
H
I
don't
know
if
there's
like,
if
there's,
if
there's
no
okay,
okay,
all
right
schedule,
wise
marianne
ryze
was
first
but
it's
up
to
you.
Well.
A
I
Yeah,
absolutely
I'll
be
quick,
so
some
of
you
guys,
I
do
know
some
of
you.
I
don't
for
those
that
I
don't.
My
name
is
dave
bidwell.
I
am
a
captain
with
the
binghamton
police
department
and
I
am
the
director
of
the
solitaire
crime
analysis
center,
which
we
do
work
for
all
law
enforcement
agencies
in
the
southern
tier.
I
So
as
far
as
the
police
department,
we
are
looking
for
funding
to
the
tune
of
25
000,
to
fund
walking
patrol
over
time
bike
patrol
and
then
also
to
fund
for
officers
to
go
over
to
the
boys
and
girls
club
for
the
after
school
program
and
then
without
knowing
kind
of
what
the
budget
is.
If,
if
the
city
had
lots
of
money
to
give,
we
would
also
look
to
reinstitute
the
citizen
police
academy.
I
So
for
some
of
you
guys
that
don't
know
what
that
is,
it's
usually
a
10
or
12
week
program
where
citizens
get
to
sign
up,
and
then
the
police
department
kind
of
runs
them
through.
What
we
do
so
every
week
would
be
something
different
one
week
might
be
the
community
response
team
kind
of
going
over
what
they
do.
We
might
have
training
in
there
one
day
to
kind
of
take
them
through,
like
a
firearms
class.
I
The
next
week
we
went
we'll
have
a
representative
from
the
detective
division
going
through
what
the
detectives
do,
just
to
kind
of
so
the
citizens
get
to
meet
the
people
in
the
law
enforcement
and
get
the
meeting
department.
And
then
it's
just
a
good
little
community
relationship.
I
25
would
be
for
walking
patrol
for
bike
patrol
and
the
boys
and
girls
club
if
there
was
if
there
was
more
money
to
be
had
and
they
were
looking
to
go
towards
the
police
department.
The
citizen
police
academy
would
without
having
the
exact
numbers,
but
it
would
probably
go
between
six
and
eight
thousand
for
the
12-week
class.
B
A
Dave
where
would
the
walking
and
the
bike
patrols
go?
How
would
that
work.
I
H
C
Thank
you
just
if
there
is
the
extra
money
for
citizen
police
academy,
I'm
a
multiple
and
having
neighbors
from
across
the
city,
learn
about
the
department,
what
the
different
that
most
important
is
putting
a
face
to
that
particular
department.
I'm
just
learning
you
know
tonight,
there's
a
change
in
crime
prevention.
I
don't
know
the
new
officer
being
able
to
be
in
those
classes.
It
is
a
phenomenal
program
and
they
even
have
a
spin-off.
Several
years
ago
it
was
a
youth
police
academy
and
the
dividends
it
pays
for
community
relations
is
phenomenal.
A
Any
are
there
any
other
questions
for
the
officer,
one
more
question
about
the
walking
in
the
bike
patrol
because
just
as
deb
is
very
fond
of
the
classes,
I'm
very
fond
of
a
presence
in
the
neighborhoods.
I
think
that
makes
a
huge
difference,
and
we've
talked
about
that
even
at
our
neighborhood
watch
meetings,
if
you
could
get
more
money
for
that
program,
would
that
allow
you
to
do
more
and
to
be
in
more
places.
I
Yeah,
absolutely
so
as
far
as
crime
prevention
for,
like
our
our
budget's
pretty
small
when
it
comes
to
overtime,
we
we
kind
of
marry
it
with.
So
septet
is
crime
prevention
through
environmental
design,
so
they
kind
of
go
hand
in
hand,
and
so
it's
a
it's
a
limited
pot.
So
I
write
grants
for
it
every
year
and
I
mean
it's:
it's
a
small
number
that
we
pull
from,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
chief
of
police.
I
J
A
B
J
I
H
A
I
A
F
Hi,
my
name
is
nicole
barron.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
rise
and
just
to
give
you
some
background
on
rise.
We
were
founded
in
1979
and
we
provide
comprehensive
domestic
violence
services,
so
we
actually
operate
one
of
the
oldish
domestic
violence,
shelters
in
new
york
state
and
we
have
a
capacity
of
up
to
20
beds.
At
a
time.
F
So
basically,
what
that
is
is
our
non-residential
programs.
We
have
advocacy
services
and
we
work
out
of
various
departments.
We
have
two
at
local
police
station
police
departments,
two
at
child
protective
services
and
then
one
at
family
court,
and
we
also
have
a
counseling
program
and
community
education
program.
F
F
We
provided
311,
safe
shelter,
nights
to
171
adults
and
children,
and
then
we
also
provided
an
additional
68
motel
bed
nights
when
we
couldn't
accommodate
victims
due
to
covet
exposure
infection,
and
then
we
provided
560,
individual
and
group
counseling
sessions,
so
it
seems
like
every
year
our
numbers
keep
getting
higher.
F
So
one
of
the
things
you
know,
if
we
had
unlimited
financial
resources
is
we
put
it
towards
like
staff
funding
because
we,
like,
especially
with
you,
know,
like
pay
rising
at
other
places
like
it's,
a
struggle
for
non-profits
to
pay
staff
competitively,
and
our
staff,
like
you
know,
deals
with
the
secondary
trauma
they
get
compassion.
Fatigue
is
common.
We
get
a
lot
of
burnout,
so
you
know
just
having
money
to
pay
staff
competitively.
F
F
F
We
actually
were
very
fortunate.
We
got
through
the
office
of
prevention
for
domestic
violence.
We
received
like
some
sizable
funding
to
actually
help
survivors
with
rent
and
utilities
and
like
safety
updates
and
even
like
furniture
and
things
like
that.
The
problem
is
like
there's,
not
a
lot
of
housing
available.
So
even
though
we
have
this
money,
they
have
to
like
first
find
something
so
I'd
say
for
domestic
violence.
Survivors
too,
this
is
like
a
huge
struggle
because
I
mean
not
having
like
a
safe
place
to
live.
F
You
know
that
they
can't
heal
from
their
trauma.
They
can't
be
safe.
So
one
of
the
things
with
our
shelter
clients
is,
you
know
we
struggle
to
find
them
safe,
affordable
housing,
so
they
can
discharge
and
because
they're
staying
in
shelter
longer.
That
means
we
don't
have
space.
You
know
to
help
the
next
victim.
F
So
that's
been
been
a
large
problem.
The
other
thing
is:
we've
actually
had
to
recently
advise
someone
who
called
her
hotline
seeking
assistance
to
kind
of-
I
guess,
judge
judge
accordingly,
because
she
had
a
real
threat
to
her
safety.
However,
she
was
also
in
a
great
housing
program,
so
you
know
we
had
to
advise
her.
It's
really
hard
to
find
safe
housing.
F
You
know,
so
you
can
make
this
decision
on
your
own,
but
just
know
that
you
know
it
might
be
hard
to
move
into
something
else,
so
these
are
kind
of
our
biggest
problems.
I'd
say:
affordable
housing,
you
know,
has
been
up
there
for
quite
some
time
and
I'm
sure
you
hear
that
a
lot,
but
it
from
the
domestic
violence
side
it
really
is-
has
a
huge
impact
on
how
we
provide
services.
H
Just
real
first,
you
answered
my
barriers
questions.
I
always
ask
these
group,
the
groups,
the
stakeholders,
the
barriers
question:
do
you
have
any
recent
studies
or
data
on
numbers
of
db,
domestic
violence,
victims
in
the
area,
any
breakdowns
by
types
of
db
or
breakdowns
of
specific
groups
affected
more
than
others
ethnicities.
F
So
we
do
I'd
actually
have
to
pull
it.
I
don't
know
it
off
hand,
some
of
the
data
that
we
have
like
on
a
county
level.
It's
it's
not.
It's
usually
like
a
couple
years
coming
out,
delayed
yeah.
F
So
really
what
we
have
is
like
our
own
data,
and
that
would
just
be
you
know
like
survivors
that
actually
come
to
us
for
assistance.
There's
so
many
more.
You
know
that
aren't
seeking
help.
H
Is
there
any
way
I
could
get
data?
Obviously
you
clean
it
up,
filter
it
take
out
all
the
identifying
stuff,
but
I'm
just
looking
for
numbers
even
at
the
county
level,
especially
changes
in
numbers.
So
if
there's
been
an
increase
or
decrease
of
certain
groups
and,
like
I
said
before,
broken
down
into
ones
that
are
you
know
what
you
would
call
a
normal
db
and
then
say
individuals
that
have
been
victims
of
sex
trafficking
or
anything
like
that
as
well.
These
are.
H
A
F
A
Oh
wow,
oh
my
god.
One
of
the
things
that
you
do
mention
is
things
that
we're
hearing
from
so
many
other
agencies
is
the
how
you
know
the
lack
of
affordable
housing,
and
I
don't
quite
know
what
we
can
do
about
it.
But
it's
good
for
us
to
know
that
this
is
happening.
G
Yeah,
I
have
a
quick
question:
nicole,
you,
those
are
really
high
numbers
of
all
the
people
that
you've
helped
and
that
have
gone
through.
Can
you
tell
me
how
little
your
staff
is?
I
mean
how
many
people
have
does
it
take
to
help
all
these
people?
I
mean.
I
know
you
could
always
use
more,
but
how
many.
F
We
have
20
staff,
members
total
and
I
think
about
two
of
them
are
part-time
and
the
rest
are
full-time.
D
G
H
Ahead,
I
have
one
more
question.
I
know
ryze
obviously
focuses
on
women.
Do
you
have
any
programs
or
even
recommendations
for
male
or
transgender
male
clients
that
are
victims
of
tv
as
well.
F
Common
misconception
we
help
victims
like
regardless
of
gender,
ethnicity,.
B
F
Yeah,
so
we
actually
would
just
house
like
we
do
have
like
a
smaller
number
like
male
identifying
survivors,
but
what
we
do
is
we
just
everybody
has
their
own
separate
bedroom,
so
there's
seven
separate
bedrooms,
so
we
just
place
them
in
separate
bedrooms.
H
Does
that
ever
create,
like
fear
issues
where
say
a
woman
in
your
shelter,
sees
a
man
in
the
shelter
as
well
and
automatically
might
react
fearfully
from
like
ptsd
kind
of
thing.
F
We
haven't
really
come
across
that
actually
we've
we
have
some
male
staff
members
currently
and
in
the
past,
like
usually
when
we
have
contractors
or
something
we
will.
You
know
kind
of
tell
the
shelter
residents
that
there's
going
to
be
people
coming
through
that
aren't
familiar
to
them,
but
yeah
we've
never
had
an
issue
with
that.
A
F
Yep
yeah,
we
actually
got
a
lot
of
calls
for
the
2-1-1.
A
lot
of
people
will
call
like
the
state
hotline
and
get
referred
to
us.
Our
hotline
number
is
on
our
website
social
media.
Like
any
time
we
do
like
radio
announcements
or
any
kind
of
advertising.
We
make
sure
that
our
hotline
number's
out
there
it's
on
any
of
our
business
cards,
our
email
signatures.
So
it's
it's
out
there.
A
F
Yeah
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
kind
of
harmed
us
is
when
we
first
opened.
We
were
known
as
the
sos
shelter
and
that
was
in
place
for
I
think
around
most
of
our
time,
but
I
think
sometime
around
2014
or
so
we
were
branded
to
rise,
which
is
kind
of
like
a
more
uplifting
name
and
kind
of
reflected
all
the
services
we
provided.
D
Can
you
hear
me
yeah,
because
I
can't
hear
myself
so
I
was
just
wondering
you
said
there
was
an
increase
in
the
numbers.
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
had
a
rough
estimate
on
the
increase
during
the
covid
period
over
what
you'd
had
before.
If
it's
been
a
significant
rise,
or
it's
just
been
kind
of
steady
up.
F
Yeah,
so
it's
kind
of
interesting,
like
initially
well
during
lockdown,
is
kind
of
what
you
expect.
You'd
expect,
as
we
got
a
lot
a
lot
fewer
people
reaching
out
for
help.
We
did
kind
of
in
response
to
people
sheltering
at
home.
F
We
had
a
new
online
chat
program
so
that
people
could
reach
out
for
help
because
previously
was
just
calling
through
the
telephone,
and
you
obviously
can't
do
that
if
your
abuser's
in
the
next
room,
so
numbers
have
kind
of
picked
up
with
like
covid
restrictions,
loosening
our
shelter
has
actually
been
pretty
low
capacity
compared
to
like
previous
years,
but
I
think
it's
understandable,
like
people
don't
really
want
to
be
in
a
congregate
setting
when
there's
a
pandemic
going
on,
but
our
non-residential
program
has
continued
to
have
very
high
numbers.
F
A
F
H
Nicole
always
feel
free,
I
know
you
guys
are
not
located
in
binghamton,
but
if
you
are
looking
to
do
any
sort
of
expansion
generally,
we
only
assist
programs
that
assist
binghamton
residents.
H
Shelters
are
kind
of
weird
because
homeless
doesn't
really
have
an
address
so,
but
if
you
guys
ever
want
to
do
any
sort
of
expansion
or
if
you
guys
wanted
to
work
with
the
y
on
some
sort
of
expansion,
I
know
they're
doing
it
was
like
saturday,
skype,
scattered
site
tv,
rental,
assistance
programs.
H
If
you
wanted
to
partner
with
with
them-
and
you
were
looking
at
some
costs,
come
give
me
a
call
we
can
talk
about.
You
know
what
what
funds
would
be
available
in
like
a
time
frame
when
you
could
get
them,
and
if
you
wanted
to
apply
for
a
program,
so
you
should
have
my
phone
number
in
the
email
it's
announced,
so
yeah,
please
feel
free
to
contact
me
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah
see
it's
all
real,
it's
so
real.
The
last
thing
we
have
to
do
before
we
adjourn
is
the
minutes.
H
Yeah,
I
can
make
these
short
and
sweet
okay.
So
just
like
everything
else,
these
are
all
related
and
I'm
going
to
tell
you
from-
and
these
are
just
my
the
the
anecdotal
stuff
and
what
I'm
exposed
to
with
the
csc
meetings,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
mental
health,
homelessness,
disabilities
and
even
veterans
stuff
can
be
all
mixed
together.
Mental
health.
You
have
essentially,
you
have
your
developmental
disabilities
but
think
like
achieve
what
they
do
and
that's
one
aspect.
H
But
then
you
have
the
other
source
of
mental
health
problems
which
is
ptsd.
You
have
just
depression.
H
A
lot
of
that
is
then
linked
in
or
inherently
connected
with
drug
usage,
specifically
opiates,
and
then
we
have
issues
with
the
opioid
crisis.
You
know
that
that
say
fairview
deals
with
so
I
did
reach
out
to
the
veterans
group.
The
groom,
the
broom
county
veterans
support
services
never
got
a
call
back,
I'm
probably
next
time.
I
would
contact
soldier
on
something
like
that.
They
deal
with
veterans,
homelessness,
specifically
or
possibly
even
the
va,
but
understand.
All
of
these
issues
are
interconnected.
H
We
do
have
homeless
veterans
still
and
understand
it's
not
as
simple
of
all
the
groups
that
we've
talked
about.
That's
the
one
group.
That's
it's
difficult
to
sometimes
get
those
people
into
programs
because,
as
a
veteran
told
me
once
you
get
done,
you're
done
with
people
telling
you
what
to
do,
you're,
you're
and
whatever
you've
dealt
with
you
don't
want
to
be
around
people.
So
a
lot
of
them
do
this
sort
of
like
eternal
camping
kind
of
thing,
but
that
we
do
have
street
outreach
to
the
y
and
stuff
like
that.
H
Trying
to
get
immense
programs
and
support
programs
va
soldier
on
all
those
work
together.
So
we
do
have
some
choto
projects
for
veterans
like
the
fine
street
project,
where
they're
getting
supportive
assistance
and
either
assisted
or
free
housing.
So
those
things
exist
out
there.
I
don't
know
if
there's
like
a
sudden
uptick
with
you
know,
with
afghanistan
and
iraq,
we
even
have
more
recent
veterans,
obviously
with
their
with
their
issues,
and
who
knows
what
might
happen
here
in
the
near
future?
H
You
know,
hopefully
nothing
but
veterans
as
a
group
are
exposed
to
things
that
moral
people
often
aren't
so
just
be
aware
of
that
and
like
just
like
every
I
swear,
every
group
has
said
that
affordable
housing
is
the
big
deal,
and
that
is
true,
but
also
supportive,
housing.
There
are
reasons
people
are
homeless.
There
are
reasons
people
are
doing
drugs
there.
H
They
may
not
be
what
you
would
think
of
as
good
reasons,
but
there
are
reasons
people
are
in
these
situations,
so
the
affordable
housing
is
one
aspect,
but
the
support
services
that
are
also
necessary
to
keep
them
in
housing.
Those
are
useful
as
well
just
to
keep
people
just
honestly.
Just
the
case
work
that's
important
as
well.
So
that's
all
I
really
wanted
to
talk
to
about
that
with
mental
health
and
veterans
groups.
So
just
be
aware
of
those
things
when
you
make
your
decisions.
A
H
Yeah
well,
we've
had
some
trouble
reaching
out
to
them
and
they
because
the
the
mms
program
that
the
city
wanted
to
support
last
year
was
the
crisis
counselor.
I
think
they
call
it
a
crisis,
something
it's
the
one
where
the
police
run
into
someone
and
they've
had
the
training
to
say.
Okay,
this
person
has
a
mental
health
issue.
Let
me
call
him
and
then.
H
Seen
these
guys
but
they're
like
tech
gear,
they
are
ready
to
deal
with
anything
and
they
come
in
and
they
help
talk
to
and
communicate
with
the
with
the
individuals.
So
there
are
grants
for
that,
but
the
city
was
providing
them
ms
funds
to
expand
last
year.
H
Nothing
came
of
it
because
they
had
a
bunch
of
staff
turnovers,
so
we're
talking
to
them
this
year
about
getting
them
assistance,
but,
depending
on
how
you
wanted
to
find
mental
health,
there's
also
achieve
the
summer
program.
There's
also
chemical
dependency
groups
like
fairview
and
then
like
I've,
said
before
the
homelessness
situation.
H
That's
just
a
mixed
bag
of
everything.
So
you're
going
to
see
people
that
check
every
single
box
of
of
problems
they
have
and
mental
health
is
almost
almost
always
one
of
them,
and
that's
so
yeah
so
understand.
When
you're
supporting
groups
you're
going
to
be
dealing
with
several
probably
categories
at
once,.
J
H
They
were
going
to
be
funded
last
year
and
they
are
currently
funded
through
some
other
programs,
but
yeah
you'll
see
them.
It
was
a.
H
Probably
saw
something
that,
had
it
literally
says,
m
hats
to
cross
their
stab
vests
and
they
have
helmets
on.
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
amazing
so,
but
yeah
yeah
impasse
is
one
of
the
groups
that
is
currently
being
assisted
and
the
mayor's
office
will
probably
automatically
allocate
funds
to
them.
A
Okay,
yeah,
maybe
I
missed
it,
I
don't
have
it
on
my
list
of
the
things
that
she
talked
about.
So
is
there
anything
else
that
you
want
to
talk
about
steve.
H
Bha
is
supposed
to
give
me
some
numbers,
so
if
they
want,
if
we
want
to
do
tbr
next
year,
which
would
be
what
you
guys
are
making
a
decision
on
now.
I
want
them
to
give
me
those
numbers,
so
we
know,
like
I
said,
they're
doing
it
a
little
different
because
they
don't
what
we're
giving
them.
Even
though
we
were
giving
them
238
thousand
dollars,
it's
not
enough
money
for
the
number
of
clients.
They
would
serve
plus
administrative
costs
for
them
to
expand
their
section
8
program
with
it.
H
So
they
basically
said
no
but
we'd
like
to
do
security
deposits,
which
we
can't
currently
do
with
section
eight
and
you
can
do
with
tibra,
and
they
said
I
said
how
many
people
asked
for
assistance
with
security
deposits
and
she
goes
100
and
I
went
okay.
So
that
seems
like
a
reasonable
thing,
and-
and
I've
heard
it
through
other
things
too-
that
security
deposits
sometimes
are
one
of
the
more
difficult
things
to
pay
for
the
homelessness
prevention,
and
our
funds
do
can
include
security
deposits,
so
I
think
finn
does.
H
If
they
need
it,
they
will
help
them
with
that
as
well.
I
think
what
else
has
changed
recently
we
are
working
on
a
home,
arp
thing
that
requires.
I
have
to
get
the
a
housing
study
going
soon.
H
I've
gone
to
the
coc
about
it,
but
what
that
is
is
we
got
an
additional
2.2
million
dollars,
almost
a
million
dollars
of
home
funds,
and
it's
specifically
for
rental
creation,
rental
rehabs
for
people
that
are
homeless.
That's
it's
like
a
combination
of
things
so,
but
it's
we're
still
working
on
that.
That
will
come
to
you
guys,
probably
later
this
year
to
talk
about.
H
I
don't
know
how
long
the
housing
study
is
going
to
do
it's
going
to
take,
but
more
than
likely
it's
gonna
be
some
sort
of
like
choto
rental,
rehab
type
thing.
H
So,
like
a
channel
project
is
when
an
agency
like
first
award
or
family
enrichment
network
or
well
sorry,
it's
greater
opportunities.
Now
they
will
take
the
units,
usually
they'll,
either
build
new,
which
is
possible
or
they'll.
Take
like
a
multi-family
unit
and.
H
It
rehab
it
and
then
the
money
we
give
them
is
is
going
to
be
used
to
provide
x
number
of
low-income
rental
units.
I'm
trying
to
think
of
some
examples
of
that.
Like.
A
The
noma
projects
and
the
things
that.
H
Yeah,
oh,
the
435
state
street
part
of
that
was
done
as
a
choto.
The
the
veterans,
one
on
pine
is
a
choto,
those
kinds
of
things
and
that's
one
way.
People
are
saying:
affordable,
housing.
That's
one
way
of
dealing
with
that.
I
will
say
that
a
lot
of
those
aren't
just
affordable
housing,
they're,
supportive
housing,
in
that
it
is
affordable
housing,
but
it
includes
case
management
aspects
as
well,
so
non-case
management,
affordable
housing.
H
That
is
not
as
common,
but
there
are
some
programs
like
broome
county.
I
had
a
ds.
The
crumb
county
had
a
hud
grant
to
do
lead
abatement
for
rental
units.
H
Oh
one
thing
I
I
had
thought
about
after
the
last
thing
with
the
was
stick
presenting
and
I
talked
to,
did
I
tell
you
guys
about-
maybe
I
didn't
tell
you
guys
about
this:
an
idea
to
use
cbdbg
funding
for
removing
barriers
for
rental
units,
and
the
idea
is
a
lot
of
landlords.
Do
not
want
to
deal
with
like
cdbg
funds,
because
then
they
have
to
do
income,
verification
for
x
number
of
years,
they're
not
going
to
deal
with
that.
H
I
don't
blame
them,
but
what
we
could
do
with
by
removing
barriers
is
that's
fine,
we've
removed
barriers,
it
doesn't
matter
who's
living
in
it.
We've
removed
disability
barriers,
so
we
could
come
to
a
landlord
or
who's
like.
I
would
like
to
rinse
you,
but
I
can't
afford
to
widen
doorways
and
put
grab
bars
well.
The
city
steps
in
widens
doorways
installs,
grab
bars
and
then
that
unit
is
now
able
to
be
used
by
anyone
who
needs
wider
doorways
and
grab
bars.
So
the
mayor's
office
seemed
somewhat
interested
in
this.
H
When
I
talked
to
him
about
it,
I
got
to
do
a
little
bit
more
digging
on
that,
but
that's
one
way
of
increasing
the
availability
units,
at
least
for
the
disabled.
H
As
a
you
know,
some
other
things
we
thought
of
was
installing
the
the
flashing
smoke
alarms
for
individuals
with
vision
or
hearing
loss,
and
things
like
that,
because
those
don't
really
intrinsically
add
that
much
value
to
a
home.
It's
not
like
you,
can
it's
not
like
we're
going
to
do
a
roof,
and
then
the
landlord
is
going
to
be
like
I'm
kicking
this
guy
out
and
I'm
going
to
charge
the
next
guy
more
rent.
You
can't
really
do
that
with.
H
Oh,
your
doorways
are
widening
and
we
put
grab
bars
in
the
shower.
I
mean
it's,
so
it's
it's
something
that's
useful:
to
expand
the
amount
of
existing
housing
to
more
people.
It's
kind
of
the
way
I
was
thinking
about
it
and
it
should
be
okay
from
a
hud's
perspective
that
we
don't
have
to
track
the
incomes
of
the
the
residents
in
the
future.
So
that
was
just
one
other
thing
we
had
come
up
with.
H
A
Landlord
has
done
that
kind
of
thing
because
of
the
transient
nature
of
rentals
sometime.
Is
there
a
list
or
something
is
I
mean?
What's
what's
the
continuation
of
that,
that
being
an
apartment,
that's
disabled?
Well,
I
mean.
H
It's
the
landlord
then
can
rent
to
anyone
who
is
disabled.
It's
it's!
It's
not
the
the
modifications
aren't
going
to
make
it
into
a
situation
where
he's
now
automatically
going
to
be
able
to
charge
more
she's
going
to
have
a
higher
quality
apartment,
but
it's
now
allows
him
him
or
her
to
rent
to
anyone
who
needs
who
just
needs
that
sort
of
access,
so
that's
kind
of
the
way,
my
thinking
of
it.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
can
think
about
it
too.
H
I'm
still
trying
to
formulate
my
in
my
head
on
how
to
work
on
something
like
this
as
a
sort
of
different
sort
of
rehab
program
than
our
home
owner
rehab.
But
it's
just
an
option.
I'm
trying
to
think
what
else
new
housing
we
can
do,
but
it's
it's
we'd
have
to
do
it
through
home
and
it
gets
very
expensive
and
very
much
more
cumbersome.
Cdbg
funds
are
really
hard
to
use
for
new
new
units.
It's
almost
always
rehab
of
existing
units
and
with
a
hud.
H
H
What
we
don't
have
are
very
many
quality,
affordable
units,
so
that
is
an
issue
yeah
and
then
unfortunately,
modifications
and
existing
units
can
sometimes
be
more
expensive
than
tearing
down
and
building
new
plus
our
historical
planners
shot
down
my
idea
of
saying
what,
if
we
demolished
a
building
and
built
it
back,
the
exact
same
look
with
brand
new
materials
that
would
be
like
you
know:
twenty
percent
cheaper
and
it's
like
you,
can't
I'm
not
changing
the
nature
of
the
neighborhood
come
on,
but.
H
H
Especially
but
yeah
most
I
mean
most
of
it
is
rents
in
the
city
itself
and
a
lot
of
them
are
those
a
lot
of
them
in
the
situation
where
you
know
my
parents
died.
I
grew
up
in
that
house.
I
live
somewhere
else,
I'm
going
to
rent
it
to
have
extra
money
and
then
the
buildings
are
sold
and
they
have
so
many
environmental
hazards
and
things
trying
to
crap.
And
then
you
have
the
speculator
kind
of
things
where
people
come.
D
H
H
H
A
H
H
A
H
C
Steve
this
is
stubborn,
just
a
quick
thing.
Other
communities
have
done
the
curb
appeal
to
like
the
front
porch
for
funding.
Is
there
any
small
loans
that
homeowners?
You
know?
Small
landlords
kind
of
the
everyday
people
could
access.
H
C
Basically,
curb
appeal:
if
the
sidewalk
does
need
to
be
done
right
now,
it's
a
50,
50
split,
you
know
with
the
city
for
some
people
that's
off
putting,
but
just
you
know,
front
porch,
repairs,
stair,
repairs,
anything
again
that
improves
the
look
and
feel
of
the
neighborhood.
It's
you
know
kind
of
skin
deep,
just
curious.
H
Well,
I
mean
the
rehab
program
is
the
best
example
of
home
homes
being
rehabbed.
It's
difficult
to
use
cdbg
funds
for
rehabs
of
for
rehabs
beyond
our
rehab
program,
because
people
on
the
rehab
program
have
been
on
the
waiting
list.
10
years
might
get
very
upset.
We
try
to
think
regarding
sidewalks
absolutely.
I
know
there's
a
5050
program
and
I
thought
I'd
talk
to
dpw
about
this.
You
could
use
cdbg
funds
to
maybe
pay
that
50
or
even
cover
the
whole
cost.
H
As
long
as
the
the
where
it
is
is
qualifies
would
be
a
low
mod
residential
area,
we
can
do
business
facade
improvements,
bldc
has
a
restricted
loan
account,
but
it
can
be
used
for
some
facade
improvements
in
business
districts
and
business
areas
or
just
in
front
of
businesses,
but
yeah.
The
sidewalk
thing
is
going
to
be
or
the
front
porch
is
going
to
be
difficult
outside
of
our
existing
rehab
program
and,
like
I
said,
that's
got
like
a
really
long.
A
A
That's
what
I
was
just
about
to
do
so,
do
we
do
we
have
any
discussion
about
the
minutes
or
do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve.
A
G
A
Okay,
then
I
guess
we
have
an
a
motion
to
adjourn
and
then
I'll
take
attendance.
