No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
D
A
Kenya's
here
yeah,
I'm
here,
I'm
sorry
my
voice
is
my
voice-
is
off
I'm
here,
no
problem,
michelle
o'lauckland
here
and
I'm
marianne
callahan.
Before
we
go
to
the
minutes,
which
is
the
first
item
on
our
agenda,
we
wanted
to
talk
about
what
our
procedure
will
be
for
this
meeting.
Usually
we
do
five-minute
presentations.
A
Sometimes
we
allow
another
few
minutes
for
questions
and
answers,
and
sometimes
we
don't
does
anyone
have
any
kind
of
idea
which
one
we
should
use
this
week.
A
Okay,
steve,
can
you
be
our
time
keeper?
Absolutely
okay,
all
right,
so
we
are
now
looking
at
the
february
23rd
minutes.
Are
there
any
changes
or
amendments
to
those
minutes.
A
D
E
A
B
What
I'll
probably
end
up
doing
for
the
public
hearing
is
I'm
gonna
keep
I'll
keep
adding
people.
Anyone
can
join
any
time,
but
as
soon
as
the
speaker
starts
I'll
mute
everyone,
but
the
speaker,
okay,
I
will
need
to
know
a
name
or
even
whatever
they
want
to
go
by.
I
please
don't
let
it
be
like
optimus,
prime
I'll
just
I
will
try
to
rather
than
have
real
names,
but
I'll
write
the
name
down
we'll
give
them
the
five
minutes.
Now.
Remember
they're,
not
this
isn't
oh
deborah's
here.
B
This
is
not
like
the
presentations.
These
are
not
well
some
agencies
kind
of
treat
it
like
the
presentations,
but
these
aren't
supposed
to
be
presentations
where
someone
says
I
got
this
program
funded.
These
are
supposed
to
be
people
saying
what
problems
there
are
in
the
community,
but
as
we
know
in
past,
when
people
do
this,
they
tend
to
like
a
lot
of
the
stakeholders,
come
and
promote
their
program
again.
So
just
be
aware
of
that,
especially
with
your
questions
and
answers.
B
This
will
be
the
only
public
hearing
you
guys
do
after
this
is
the
budget
determination
and
then
the
recommendation
goes
to
the
mayor
and
city
council.
The
mayor
will
make
a
final
budget
which
that's
when
I
do
the
action
plan
get
it
published
30
days
there
and
then
a
second
public
hearing
with
city
council.
So
once
this
is
done,
you
guys
are
out
of
the
loop
well
not
out
of
loop,
you're
you're
out
of
at
least
this
phase
of
it.
B
So
now's
the
time
where
you
can
be
talking
about
the
budgetary
process.
If
you
want,
you
got
a
little
bit
of
time,
but
I
gotta.
B
So
everyone
knows
the
home:
let's
call
it
home
cover
just
like
we
had
esg
covered
in
cdbg
cove,
but
there's
essentially
what's
a
home
covet
thing
as
well.
There's
a
lot
more
public
comment,
aspect
of
that
and
I'm
working
on
that
right
now.
It
also
requires
a
housing
market
study,
so
I
may
end
up.
We
may
end
up
having
you
guys
come
together
for
both
a
public
hearing
and
then
possibly
a
review
of
that
and
a
recommendation
on
that
budget.
B
I
gotta
get
the
I
gotta,
get
the
thing
to
contract
and
supply,
so
I
can
do
the
rfq
for
the
mount
market
study,
but
once
I
kind
of
get
it
that
out-
and
I
get
a
time
frame
on
that-
then
I'll
start
the
public
process
aspect
of
it.
We
are
hearing
a
lot
of
things
that
people
want
to
do
with
it.
So
but
yeah,
that's
that's
something
that
will
involve
you
guys
as
well
as
after
this
probably
on-site
monitoring
would
be
the
next
big
thing,
and
that
probably
will
be.
B
I
don't
know
after
july,
because
I'll
submit
I'll
be
busy
doing
the
action
plan.
But
as
soon
as
that's
submitted,
we
can
switch
right
to
the
on-site
reviews
so
and
I
think
a
few
of
you
joined
for
those
last
year.
I
don't
know
if
they'll
be
virtual
or
in
person
yet
we'll
we'll
feel
it
out
and
figure
out
which,
which
is
the
best.
A
B
H
B
Wait:
yeah,
yes,
basically,
whatever
the
next
the
meeting
after
this
or
the
meetings.
After
this,
where
you
make
a
budget
proposal
that
will
be
the
final
meeting
until
the
fall.
B
B
B
So
for
anyone
who
wasn't
here
when
I
said
it
once
a
speaker
is
chosen,
I
will
literally
mute
every
single
other
person,
including
myself,
but
leave
the
one
speaker
unmuted
and
that
way,
there's
gonna
be
no
interruption,
while
they're
talking
and
marianne
will
go
over.
I'm
sure
the
rules
again.
B
I
B
A
Okay
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
are
here
for
the
public
hearing
and
we'd
like
to
set
a
few
ground
rules.
We
will
give
you
five
minutes
to
make
your
presentation
and
then
the
cdac
members
will
have
another
five
minutes
in
which
to
ask
you
questions,
and
we
would
hope
that
you
would
keep
your
comments
focused
on
the
needs
of
the
community
as
they
relate
to
the
block
grant.
A
B
A
I
Thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
here
so
just
a
brief
overview
again.
My
name
is
z
from
rosario.
I
work
at
the
ywc
as
a
street
outreach
coordinator
and
as
a
brief
overview
of
the
street
artists,
coordinated
housing
advocate.
Basically,
the
positions
is
as
designed
to
facilitate
and
provision
essential
services
for
unsheltered
homeless
persons
to
establishing
a
collaborative
community
relationship
to
enhance
a
rapid
access
to
emergency
shelter,
experiment,
housing,
pantry,
mental
health
services,
substance
abuse
disorder,
services
or
alcohol
abuse
use.
I
Services
anything
to
assist
the
individual
bro
for
these.
I
Populations
we
we
locate
and
I
we
located
and
engaged
unsheltered
homeless
persons
for
the
purpose
of
providing
immediate
support
and
because
of
the
contribution
of
binghamton,
the
city
of
binghamton
council.
You
know
we
thank
you
very
much
for
everything
you've
done.
It's
allowed
for
us
to
give
supplies
for
those
individuals
who
are
homeless.
Those
who
are
hotels,
try
to
get
individuals
in
in
shelters
for
those
individuals
that
are
currently
still
in
hotels
at
the
moment
or
that
are
unable
to
be
housed.
I
We
work
in
the
best
that
we
can
to
at
least
provide
services
to
keep
them
warm
or
try
to
assist,
with
advocating
at
churches
to
see
if
we
can
get
funding
from
churches
to
help
them
be
placed
in
the
hotel
for
a
couple
of
nights,
there's
also
transportation
services
that
we
are
doing
because
of
what
we're
allotted
to
dss,
to
advocate
with
them
there
to
landlords
to
to
go
with
them
with,
let's
use
landlords
if
they
feel
they
need
another
set
of
eyes.
I
Just
have
somebody
there
to
support
them,
or
even
just
to
bring
them
to
their
appointments,
to
see
landlords
for
for
locations.
Even
though,
at
this
moment
in
time,
there's
there's
a
slow
process
of
what's
going
on
with
finding
housing,
we're
still
diligent
in
working
with
landlords,
with
another
program
being
that
we
have
rapid
rehousing
in
our
program
and
I'm
doing
street
outreach.
The
individuals
that
are
allowed
to
get
rapid,
rehousing
individuals
are
who
have
to
be
considered
homeless
through
coordinated
entry
which
allows
us
to
work
with
landlords
through
rapid
rehousing.
I
So
we
connect
those
individuals
who
are
homeless
right
now
in
the
in
the
shelters
or
in
the
in
the
hotels
really
and
those
are
outside
in
the
streets
that
weren't
unable
to
be
housed.
Because
of
these
unaligned
resources.
That
are,
you
know
not
able
to
assist
with.
So
we
try
our
best.
We've
been
getting
donations
of
tents
that
because,
because
we've
been
allowed
monies
to
buy
blankets
and
things
like
that,
so
we
can
give
them
those
tents
as
well
as
blankets
to
keep
them
warm.
Also.
I
I
To
where
individuals
are
at
we're,
also
assisting
with
looking
for
housing
as
well
more
so
so
that,
because
of
so
many
individuals
right
now
because
of
this
pandemic,
that's
that
we're
coming
out
of,
hopefully
that
we're
able
to
look
for
more
and
more
more
as
possible
websites
with
landlords,
there's
more
individuals
that
we're
kind
we're
in
contact
with.
So
we
can
branch
out
even
more
so
because
of
all
the
things
that
we're
allotted
because
of
the
city
of
binghamton.
I
We
appreciate
all
that
you're
giving
to
us
and
the
we've
gone
down
about,
I
want
to
say
about
50,
50
or
so
individual
households
from
the
last
the
last
time
I
I
spoke
in
front
of
the
individuals
here
from
112
households
we're
down
to
about
50
right
now,
so
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
and
hope.
I
got
everything
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
ywca.
A
I
have
one
quick
one
for
you,
ephraim
the
tents
where
people
put
the
tents
up
wherever
they
are.
Is
that
how
that
works?.
I
Yeah
sometimes
they'll
have
friends
and
family
members
that
will
allow
them
to
live
in
their
backyards
for
a
bit
or
if
an
individual
has
an
apartment.
Where
there's
a
it's
a
house
where
there's
different
families,
the
landlord
will
sometimes
allow
the
individual
to
stay
there
for
a
couple
of
nights
in
the
in
the
backyard,
of
course,
with
the
permission
of
other
tenants
that
are
there.
I
So,
with
these
donated
tents
that
were
given
to
us,
we're
allowed
to
give
it
to
them,
and
they
let
us
know
if
it's
working,
if
you
make
sure
that
it's
okay
for
it
for
use
and
safe.
So
we
we
give
them
the
blankets
we
have
headlights.
I
should
also
say
that
I've
got
the
headlamps
that
I've
was
allowed
to
buy
as
well,
so
that
when
it's
nightfall,
if
they're
doing
any
reading
or
something
but
yeah,
sometimes
they're
at
they
call
it
rock
bottom
by
the
susquehanna
river.
I
Sometimes
they
go
fishing
there
and
stuff
like
that.
I've
had
an
individual
who
was
at
five
mile
point
or
five
mile
park
or
something
so
he
puts
it
up
and
and
takes
it
down
in
the
morning.
Sometimes
there's
individuals
by
webster
court
buildings,
I
believe
it's
owned
by
607
properties.
I
They
also
has
a
have
a
pathway
down
through
there
to
the
river
as
well,
but
yeah
they
they
more
more
or
less.
They
do
more
at
like
family,
family
homes
or
friend
properties,
so
that
you
know
they've
been
once
or
twice
actual.
Please
don't
go
somewhere
where
you're
not
supposed
to
go,
because
there
could
be
some
issues
when
it
comes
down
to
being
on
a
place
where
the
police
will
not
allow
you
to
stay
so,
but
it's
allotted
to
them
and
to
use
when
it's
needed.
A
D
I
just
wondered
how
many
tents
have
you
given
out
in
this
past
year.
I
Oh
wow,
so
at
one
point
the
donation
came
from
individuals
that
lived,
I
want
to
say,
maybe
vestal
about
seven
of
those
I
had
to
get
rid
of,
but
I
was
able
to
keep
at
least
20,
it's
25.,
so
the
the
70
that
we
gave
to
the
boys
and
girls
club,
which
they
decided
to
clean
and
still
use
it
so,
but
the
ones
that
were
still
in
boxes
are
the
ones
that
I
kept.
I
So
I
would
say
about
15
17
that
I've,
given
some
agencies,
like
truth
farm,
have
come
to
see
us.
I've
donated
some
to
them
as
well,
because
they
have
individuals
who
don't
want
to.
I
want
to
say,
don't
don't
want
to
be,
they
want
to
remain
anonymous.
I
So
there
are
some
some
individuals
that
want
to
remain
anonymous.
I
ask
and
I
speak
with
them
as
well,
and
it
gets
with
truth
from
they
had
a
little
the
difficulty
so
to
keep
the
individual.
They
wanted
to
stay
anonymous,
which
was
understandable
so
because
it
was
a
donated
thing
that
I
actually
keep
at
my
house.
I
give
it
to
them
or
any
other
agency
that
gets
it.
I
I
ask
them:
you
know
if
I
can
speak
with
the
individual,
if
I
can
give
them
any
services,
and
so
besides
just
the
tent,
so
I
don't
wanna.
I
wanna
be
sure
that
the
individual
at
least
has
something
so
I'll
also
add
like
a
whatever
I
can
with
if
they
need
hygiene
supplies
and
stuff,
so
blankets,
but
yeah
about
15
17
about
that.
J
A
F
Just
a
question:
has
there
been
any
outreach
to
the
city
or
towns
or
villages
or
police
departments
where
these
tents
are
being
erected
so
that
there's
some
dialogue
to
prevent.
F
With
the
individual,
just
so
there's
not,
I
don't
know,
I'm
honestly
a
loss
of
words,
but
there's
some
type
of
open
dialogue
or
communication.
A
A
A
B
K
I'm
sorry
I'm
I'm
sorry.
I
missed.
If
there
were
introductions,
because
I
couldn't
hear
any
of
your
audio
initial.
A
Oh
okay,
jesse!
Let
me
I'm
marianne
calhoun,
I'm
the
chair
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
have
five
minutes
to
tell
us
your
concerns
and
your
issues
as
they
relate
to
the
block
grant
and
there
will
be
a
five-minute
period
of
questions
asked
by
the
group
and
you
can't
you're
coming
in
fine.
So
please
go
ahead.
K
I'm
gonna
ask
you
if
I
can
try
to
go
out
and
come
back
in
later
and
I
understand
there's
an
order,
everyone,
but
I'm
still
getting
the
echo.
A
A
Yeah,
this
is
eriola,
someone
from
the
ywca
ephram
and
sean
will
be
speaking
on.
Our
behalf,
april's
already
talked,
but
sean
will
be
talking
about
the
shelter
coming.
B
A
Oh
okay,
so
you're
here
to
listen.
G
Good
evening,
everybody
excuse
me,
my
name
is
preston
evans.
I
am
the
vice
president
of
development
and
donor
relations
for
achieve.
I
thank
you
for
all
the
past
funding
that
you
have
through
this.
These
community
development
block
grant
funds
supplied
us.
We
traditionally
every
year
apply
for
these
funds
for
our
children's
summer
rec
program.
This
is
a
six
week,
recreational
program
that
we
operate
from
the
beginning
of
july
through
mid-august
each
summer
in
a
traditional
non-coveted
year.
G
This
program
is
available
to
about
110
students
from
broome
county
about
40
of
whom
are
from
the
city
of
binghamton.
In
the
in
this
past
year,
we
had
to
afford
social
distancing
limit
that
number
to
65
students,
of
which
I
believe
about
20
were
student
were
city
of
binghamton
residents.
This
program
is
our
oldest
program,
it's
kind
of
a
foundational
program
for
our
organization
when
it
was
founded
back
in
1952..
G
It's
designed
to
fill
the
educational
gap
for
children,
it's
kind
of
known
as
the
summer
slide.
It's
a
loss
of
learning
that
occurs
while
children
are
not
in
school
for
the
summer,
but
studies
show
the
average
student
loses
about
one
month's
worth
of
learning
over
summer
break,
whereas
children
with
developmental
disabilities
and
who
come
from
low-income
households
lose
substantially
more
and
it
takes
a
lot
longer
for
them
to
regain
those
educational
like
missed
opportunities.
So
the
program
is
open
to
students
ages,
five
through
21..
G
It's
our
only
program
that
we
offer
at
achieve
for
adult
for
non-adults
it's
for
chill
for
our
children
that
are
identified
as
having
a
disability
through
the
office
for
people
with
developmental
disabilities
that
have
an
individualized
education
plan
or
an
iep
or
a
504
plan
in
school.
So
the
program
like
I
said
it's
designed
to
hold
to
limit
the
summer
slide
that
occurs
with
students
who
are
disabled
during
the
summer.
When
they
do
this,
it's
kind
of
learning
through
fun.
They
don't
it's
kind
of
all
hidden
in
a
variety
of
different
activities.
G
You
know
grows
and
fine
motor
skills,
development,
social,
interactive
interaction,
physical
activity,
drama,
music.
It
ends
the
summer
usually
ends
with
a
big
talent,
show
where
the
students
kind
of
work
together
or
even
themselves
just
to
present
for
this,
as
part
of
this
talent
show
again
like
I
said
this
is
our
oldest
program
and
it
fills
that
gap
that
occurs
in
the
summer.
G
So
our
the
other
one
kind
of
unique
aspect
of
this
program
is
that
there
is
a
work
study
program
built
into
it,
so
students
that
are
ages
14
to
21.
We
actually
just
opened
up
our
applications
for
this
last
week,
but
they
get
the
opportunity
to
work
for
one
hour
each
day
and
then
participate
in
program
activities.
G
So
they
are
hands-on
involved
in
developing
the
activities
for
the
next
day
with
program
counselors
and
then
you
know
they're
earning
a
paycheck
they're
they
get
paid
for
it
and
they
are
just
learning
valuable,
so
vocational
skills
in
the
process.
So
every
year
the
funding
that
we
apply
for
here
we
are
heavily
regulated
and
are
required
to
maintain
a
one
to
three
counselor
to
student
ratio,
and
so
we
have
to
hire
these
staff
to
be
able
to
bring
in
110
students
every
summer.
G
A
L
Hi
this
is
belinda
hi.
My
name
is
belinda
ellison.
I
I
work
for
the
ywca,
I'm
a
residential
assistant
to
the
case
manager,
but
I'm
training
to
be
the
new
shelter
case
manager
for
the
ywca.
This
is
my
first
meeting.
L
I
was
asked
to
join
this
meeting
for
the
first
time
to
watch
and
listen
and
see
how
the
meeting
goes.
So
I
am
prepared
for
future
meetings
like
this
one.
A
B
B
All
right,
okay,
yeah!
If
anyone
doesn't
know
this
in
the
action
plan,
I
have
to
put
so-and-so's
name,
then
what
they,
what
they're,
supporting
or
whatever
so
you
everyone's
comments
are
basically
given
to
hud.
C
C
In
the
past.
This
program
has
provided
some
funding
for
historic
preservation,
as
well
as
for
community
safety,
and
I
really
just
wanted
to
jump
on
say
thank
you
for
the
prior
support
and
just
make
sure
that
everyone
knows
how
much
we
appreciate
it
and
that
we
we
recognize.
This
is
an
important
part
of
our
community
and
I
can
answer
any
questions
about
the
museum
or
you
know
whatever
else.
If
anybody
has
anything,
they
want
to
ask.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
michael.
H
Yes,
I
I
believed
somebody
was
in
in
contact
with
you,
but
we
are
going
to
be
on
the
television
on
april
12th
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
up
the
roberson
museum.
A
A
B
A
B
A
J
Hi,
this
is
sean
johnston
case
manager
for
the
ywca.
J
First
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
this
platform
allowing
us
to
speak.
We
greatly
appreciate
it.
You
all
have
met
belinda.
She
will
be
replacing
me
here
soon,
sad
to
say,
but
just
to
give
you
a
little
insight
on
how
our
shelter
is
going.
Last
year
we
housed
over
13
women
and
single
moms
were
their
children.
J
J
It
has
exceeded
my
expectations.
Sadly,
to
say
our
shelter
has
been
full
the
past
at
least
three
months
at
capacity
and
because
of
code
blue.
We
do
offer
additional
cots,
so
we
do
exceed
our
number
of
21
beds.
At
times
we
do
have
women
that
come
in
we're
at
capacity
we
find
them.
A
soft
comfy
chair,
put
them
in
our
library
to
sleep,
just
always
remembering
housing
first,
allowing
these
women
to
get
off
the
streets,
even
if
it's
just
for
a
single
night.
J
J
We
do
have
a
couple
women
right
now
who
have
been
with
us
three
months:
it's
a
long
process,
doing
a
spoa
application
applications
for
opportunities
for
broome,
and
we
have
our
outreach
worker
ephraim
as
well
as
an
ra
who
possibly
will
go
with
them
to
these
appointments,
because
they
don't
understand
the
complexity
of
the
questions
being
asked
on
the
application
or
just
in
general,
meeting
somebody
and
and
working
through
all
of
that
processes.
J
It's
quite
tiring
just
for
us
as
caseworkers
to
do
that.
I
can't
imagine
being
on
on
the
other
end
and
what
they're
going
through.
But
it's
a
true
struggle.
J
I
I'm
not
that
long-winded.
So
once
again,
I
thank
you
for
this
platform
and
all
that
the
city
does
for
us.
We
greatly
appreciate
it
and
your
continued
support
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
A
Doesn't
seem
so
thank
you
for
everything
you've
done.
A
H
Hello,
I
was
just
composing
something
to
send
to
stephen,
but
as
long
as
you
call
my
name
I'll
say
something
well,
I
have
an
apartment
that
I
tore
down
to
studs
the
second
floor
apartment
and
then
we
had
a
flood
and
then
my
daughter
got
married.
So
I
had
no
money
to
put
this
thing
back
together.
Is
there
any
hud
money
that
can
assist
with
putting
this
back
together
and
making
it
a
habitable
apartment?.
A
Steve,
I
think,
that's
a
question.
We
can't
field.
B
B
Unfortunately,
the
city
doesn't
have
any
landlord
capital
project
assistance
programs,
the
they're
difficult
to
do
with
hud
with
home
and
cdbg
money
because
of
certain
regulatory
requirements.
For
those
we
used
to
do
a
two
family
structure
improvement,
but
we
don't
do
that
anymore,
because
I
think
there
were
some
weird
shenanigans
going
on
with
it.
B
So
generally,
we
only
assist
with
rehabs
of
owner-occupied
buildings
single-family
and
then
for
rental
rehabs,
that's
usually
done
through
the
home
money
and
what
are
called
chotos,
which
are
agencies
that
will
take
a
building
that
has
five
units
and
they'll
rehab
them
for
low-income
households,
so
nothing,
unfortunately,
for
private
private
entities.
Unfortunately,
okay.
B
Thank
you.
I.
I
will
make
a
note,
though,
and
I'll
put
that,
since
it's
sort
of
like
a
request,
is
funding
towards
landlord
type
project.
So
if
something
does
pop
up,
we'll
have
identified
that
as
something
that
someone
has
put
an
interest
into
in
the
in
the
con
and
the
action
plan
public
hearing
part
of
it.
So
I'm.
J
F
This
is
deborah.
I
was
wondering
if
the
mr
cabot's
council
person
may
be
able
to
work
with
him
and
see
if
there's
any
assistance
that
might
be
an
appropriate
referral.
B
I
certainly
you
know
what
do
you
know
who
your
council
person
is,
mr
at
mr
cabot.
H
Tremont
avenue
probably
27..
I
don't
know
districts
that
well.
G
A
G
A
Steve,
I'm
not
showing
anyone
else.
Is
there.
B
K
Well,
I'm
so
sorry,
I
don't
know
why
my
laptop
was
being
disgruntled
this
evening
and
I
can
turn
myself.
I
have
not
used
my
cell
phone
to
do
this
in
a
very
long
time
so,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Is
this
when
you
want
me
to
speak
now
before
I
just
start
rambling
away?
K
Okay.
So
first
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
for
being
a
tremendous
support
over
the
years
for
our
medicare
counseling
programs.
K
Our
medicare
counseling
program
works
with
close
to
3
000
people
a
year
from
all
walks
of
life,
but
the
city
support
is
particularly
important
because
it
provides
us
support
to
do
a
lot
of
outreach
to
city
of
binghamton
residents,
many
of
whom
you
know
are
in
a
position
where
they
might
have
to
go
without
medications.
They
might
be
choosing
not
to
go
to
their
doctor
enough.
K
They
because
the
cost
of
their
health
care,
they
believe,
is
just
simply
too
expensive
for
them,
so
they're
going
out
with
they're
going
without
it,
and
especially
if
they're
lower
income
in
the
first
place,
they
likely
have
long-term
chronic
health
issues,
so
they
need
to
be
getting
the
services
and
what
they
don't
realize
is
if
they
don't
come
to
us.
There
often
are
savings
programs
that
they
can
access
and
our
counselors.
K
I
have
a
wonderful
group
of
counselors.
I've
got
one
and
a
half
staff
people
and
then
16
volunteer
counselors.
They
are
considered
peer,
counselors,
almost
all
of
them,
with
the
exception
of
one
qualified
for
medicare
themselves,
and
so
they
understand
the
lives
of
the
individuals
that
they're
counseling
and
are
in
their
own
position.
K
So
they
go
through
all
the
options
that
are
available
for
an
individual
based
on
their
individual
health
care
needs,
and
there
are
a
number
of
different
programs
that
an
individual
may
qualify
for
discounted
drug
programs,
in
particular
we're
very
lucky
in
this
community
that
we
have
both
boards
in
uhs
that
have
wonderful
discount
assistance
programs
for
medications
that
people
are
not
aware
of.
K
There's
other
programs
like
new
york,
state
epic,
that
many
people
qualify
but
they're
not
aware
of
a
lot
of
these
programs
that
people
can
qualify
for
are
fairly
hard
to
navigate
and
they
really
do
need
someone
often
to
walk
them
through
it's,
not
it's
not
just
a
level
of
education,
they're,
complicated
programs,
sometimes
you're,
not
just
dealing
with
us
as
an
agency.
You
might
be
dealing
with
department
of
social
services
to
figure
out
how
to
navigate
through.
K
So
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
end
up
going
without
it,
so
our
outreach
is
particularly
important
because
of
covid.
We
had
to
step
back
from
that
we
weren't
able
to
get
into
low-income
housing
sites.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
is
a
top
priority
for
our
staff
and
in
fact,
we've
I've
been
actively
looking
to
secure
additional
support
from
local
foundations
to
do
additional
outreach
this
year,
because
it
was
back
burnered
for
so
long
with
covet
just
out
of
necessity.
K
So
that's
my
quick
little
update
on
where
the
program
stands.
If
there
are
questions.
K
They
all
our
largest
program
is
our
medicare
counseling
program,
which
the
city
of
binghamton
is
one
of
our
funders,
for
we
get
money
from
office
for
aging,
which
would
basically
provide
less
than
a
full-time
person.
So
we
receive
funding
from
a
number
of
other
sources,
including
the
city
of
binghamton,
to
provide
the
services
we
do
and
compared
to
other
counties
across
the
state.
A
B
I
believe
that
is
everybody
it's
up
to
the
cdac,
if
you
wish
to
keep
it
going
and
holding
it
open
and
then,
whenever
you
wish
to
quote
you'll
need
a
motion
and
then
a
vote.
A
What
does
everyone
think
should
we
give
it
a
couple
more
minutes
just
in
case
just
to
say
that
we
tried
to
make
sure
that
we
got
everybody?
Would
that
be
a
five?
Well,
I
don't
know
steve
five
more
minutes.
Seven
fifteen.
A
Any
any
feedback:
what
do
you
guys
think
we
should
do?
Should
we
close
the
public
hearing
at
this
point,
I
think
you.
E
A
B
B
A
Well,
our
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for.
B
It
would
be
in
two
weeks
so
you're,
looking
at
the
sixth
of
april,
which
will.
A
B
Virtual,
yes
still
going
to
be
virtual,
so
what
I
will
do,
let
me
see
here
I
will
send
out
the
blank
spreadsheet
with
last
year's
numbers.
B
And
then
I'll
have
in
there
like
little
red
boxes.
Now
we
updated
it
last
year
where
there
was
a
page,
for
it
was
a
is
in
excel.
Is
everybody
comfortable
with
excel.
D
B
With
excel
call
me,
I
used
to
do
like
help:
videos
for
it,
it'll
be,
there
will
be
a
main
page.
There
will
be
certain,
so
all
you're
going
to
do
is
put
numbers
in
red
boxes.
Some
are
calculated
so
there's
a
spreadsheet
for
like
service
programs
and
then
there'll
be
a
spreadsheet
for
capital
programs,
and
I
think
I
do
a
separate
spreadsheet
for
esg
programs
as
well.
So
all
of
those
will
have
red
boxes,
you'll
put
numbers
in
for
agencies.
B
You
want
to
fund
I'll
put
all
the
ones
for
agencies
that
put
in
applications.
B
I
will
try
to
remember
if
the
mayor's
office
specifically
said
if
they
wanted
certain
programs
or
not
so
you'll-
have
that
I'll
double
check
with
megan
mayer's
numbers
other
than
that
it'll
be
up
to
you
to
make
a
determination.
You
can
add
things.
That's
not
there's
nothing
wrong
with
adding
things,
especially
if
you're
seeing
something
in
the
community.
Well,
I
almost
did
it
for
everybody.
Sorry
I
was
trying
to
quote
so
you
can
add
things
you
can
add
items
if
you're
not
sure
throw
it
in
there
we'll
talk
about.
B
It
will
determine
if
it
would
fit
somewhere
else
or
if
it's
eligible
or
ineligible,
don't
be
afraid,
be
a
you
know,
be
an
advocate
for
what
you're
you're
wanting
the
cdbg
home
and
esg
money
to
be
used
for
I'll
have
minimums
that
we
have
to
spend
and
then
I'll
have
the
maxims
as
well.
B
So
you
should
be,
it
should
be
fairly
user
friendly,
but
if
you
feel
uncomfortable
with
it-
and
it's
just
weird,
come
up
your
own-
some
numbers
of
your
own
just
on
a
piece
of
paper,
bring
it
in
and
when
we
do
the
virtual
meetings
and
we'll
work
on
the
spreadsheet,
with
everybody's
input
going
on
at
once.
So
if
it
just
gets,
weird,
don't
worry
about
it.
We
can
talk
at
the
next
meeting
as
is
but
go
ahead
and
start
be
thinking
of
the
numbers
you
want
to
put
in
programs.
B
You
want
to
support
activities,
you
want
to
support
and
I'll
get
that
to
you
guys
and
then
I'll
get
the
all
the
other
cdac
stuff.
So
if
you
cannot
vote
by
that
meeting,
hopefully
we
can
come
to
or
you
guys
can
come
to
a
decision,
if
not
we'll
do
another
meeting
two
weeks
later
or
if
we
want
to
do
one
even
a
day
or
two
later,
if
everyone
feels
like
they
could
they
want
to
get
this
done
quickly,
so
that
would
be
the
next
step.
B
D
I
have
a
question:
what
about
the
money
that
was
earmarked
for
the
columbus
community
center,
that
pool
of
money
from
our
last
time.
B
So
that
has
so
right
now,
between
last
year
and
the
year
before
a
sum
total
of
1.1
million
dollars
earmarked
for
the
columbus
park
youth
center,
the
mayor,
the
the
the
I
my
understanding,
is
the
bid
came
in
way
way
over
right
and
they've
even
tried
to
mess
with
the
bids
like
to
do
a
partial
pain.
You
know
partial
this
or
do
it
in
stages,
and
it
just
looks
like
unless
a
ton
more
money
falls
on.
You
know,
out
of
the
sky,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
what
they
envisioned.
B
E
B
E
Steve
can
I
just
I
asked
that
question
to
megan
at
the
last
meeting
and-
and
I
do
have
a
question
where
I
thought
about
it-
she
said
no,
they
had.
They
were
meeting
at
city
council.
That
night
we
had
our
meetings.
They
were
going
to
market
to
buy
a
fire
truck.
Yes,
how
can
you
use
cd?
How
can
you
use
that
money
to
buy
a
fire
truck,
see.
B
Fire
trucks
are
eligible
under
cdbg,
okay,
okay,
so
yeah.
That's
that's
the
one
there's
certain
things
that
you
would
not
expect,
but
like
fire,
trucks
and
emergency
vehicles
and
emergency
equipment
are
eligible
and.
E
B
And
just
so,
you
guys
are
aware:
it's
not
like
they
just
take
the
thing.
There's
we
actually
had
a.
We
put
a
notice
in
the
paper,
letting
a
legal
notice,
letting
people
know
the
money
is
going
to
be
pulled
from
that
onto
this
fire
truck
project.
30
days
of
public
comments,
city
council
may
have
do
a
public
hearing,
I'm
not
sure
that's
up
to
their
prerogative,
but
no
one's
communicated
anything
to
me
about
any
issues
with
the
fire
truck
so
far,
so
this
becomes
an
amendment
to
the
last
two
years.
B
Well,
it's
gonna
be
last
year's
action
plan.
So
it's
not
really.
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
unfortunate
because
there's
not
much.
They
can
do
with
that
now,
they're
still
leaving
200
000
in
the
columbus
park,
I
think
in
columbus
park
they're
still
leaving.
Are
they?
Oh?
No?
No!
No!
It's
all
going
to
be
used
up.
Yep
yep
of.
F
F
B
F
D
B
It
was
30
days
and
I
think
the
cutoff
is,
I
think,
the
night
they
vote,
which
will
be
next
wednesday.
I
think,
or
maybe
tomorrow,
get
it
to
me
as
soon
as
you
can.
Okay.
Thank
you
a
few
days
late,
I'm
not
gonna,
you
know
say
no,
I
mean
I
I
and
then
this
is
not
just
because
you
guys
are
cdac
members.
If
members
of
the
public
give
me
a
comment,
you
know
one
or
two
days
later,
I
I
will
still
accept
it
and
put
it
in
that's,
not
a
big
deal
but
yeah.
F
Yeah,
it
just
seemed
you
know
just
to
have
a
brief,
open
discussion.
If
I'm
understanding
the
news
story,
I
saw
the
former
urban
league
is
now
going
to
be
the
yw's
daycare
center,
so
that
just
seems
like
a
a
perfect
mix.
You
know
with
the
incubator
there
I
just
saw
so
many
collaborations.
B
Yeah
and
they
and
it
it
wasn't
just
my
understanding,
it
wasn't
just
a
one-off,
it
wasn't
like
they
got
one
bed
and
they
said
it's
too
much
and
ran
away.
They
did
they
sat
down
worked.
It
said
what,
if
we
removed,
this
would
have
removed
that
and
it
was
just
construction
materials
that
period
of
time
just
was
too
much.
So
unfortunately,
I
don't
know
if
they're
going
to
come
back
to
in
the
future.
B
I
hope
they
do,
because
we
have
a
plan,
for
we
have
a
design,
as
far
as
I
know
so,
and
that's
been
paid
for
with
cdbg.
So
that's
the
plan's
done
and
I
think
they're
leaving
a
little
bit
in
for
additional
columbus
park
improvements,
but
yeah
the
vast
majority
is
getting
pulled
out,
except
for
the
new
fire
truck.
