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
A
Sixth
district,
this
evening
we
will
hear
your
presentations
we'd
like
you
to
keep
them
to
five
minutes.
If
that's
at
all
possible-
and
we
will
have
a
short
period
of
question
and
answer
after
that-
we're
hoping
to
give
you
the
most
efficient
timings
so
to
get
you
home
before
the
Snows
comes,
but
we
will.
We
will
be
asking
you
some
questions
afterwards.
So
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
ask
us.
E
F
Okay,
so
good
evening,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
and
also
I.
Do
want
to
say
thank
you,
because
we
have
been
supported
by
the
city
of
Binghamton
through
the
cdgb
for
a
number
of
years
for
our
parents
as
Leaders
Family
Resource
Center.
My
name
is
Sharon
chess
and
I'm
executive
director
of
mothers
and
babies,
and
the
pal
Center
is
a
drop-in
center
for
parents
with
infants
and
toddlers.
Our
idea,
our
goal
there
is
I,
was
going
to
give
myself
a
timer,
so
I,
oh.
F
You
out,
oh
good,
okay,
we're
a
drop-in
center.
The
whole
concept
behind
a
Family
Resource
Center
is
to
reduce
the
incidence
of
child
abuse
and
neglect.
How
do
we
do
that?
We
help
do
that
by
helping
parents
do
the
most
important
job
in
the
world
caring
for
their
children,
and
we
all
know
how
difficult
it
can
be
to
to
raise
a
child.
F
So
you
know
we're
there
as
a
resource
for
families
and
oftentimes
people
think
that
we're
really
there
for
the
children
and
while
we
are
ultimately
because
we
want
that
optimal
health,
wealth
and
development
of
the
babies
and
children
really
the
goal
and
key
to
that
is
through
the
parents.
So
our
goal
is
to
support
parents
in
whatever
aspect
they
need.
F
If
it
is
formal
parenting,
education,
we
provide
that
if
they
need
one-on-one
in
any
sort
of
respect,
we
provide
that
that
they
need
housing,
assistance,
food
assistance,
whatever
it
is,
we'll
get
them
connected
to
the
right
organization.
We
help
introduce
a
lot
of
other
community
services
to
families
through
small
invitations
in
the
center
or
through
or
or
connecting
the
family
directly
with
the
center
I
wanted
to.
If
I
can.
F
I
apologize
I
meant
to
do
that
in
the
beginning.
Just
a
couple
of
pictures
that
show
you
that
the
center
is
really
a
place
where
parents
can
call,
and
they
are,
it
is
a
safe
place
where
they're
themselves
and
their
children.
We
also
worked
closely
with
the
family
courts
and
with
DSS,
and
we
do
a
number
of
supervised
visits
throughout
the
year
this
past
year
we
hosted
we
average
around
50
to
70
visits
per
year
per
month
for
families
who
are
working
towards
reunification
with
their
children.
F
213
of
those
total
are
actually
cdgb
eligible,
so
you
can
see
that
we
really
are
fitting
the
goals
that
the
city
has
with
the
funding
that
you
all
receive
from
HUD
of
the
supervised
visit
parents.
There
are
53
parents
that
we're
actively
doing
visitation
with
over
the
past
year
and
23
of
those
are
again
cdgb
eligible
and
again,
as
I
mentioned,
averaging
50
to
70
visits
per
month.
The
goal
that
we
have
is
to
really
work
with
parents
and
to
never
judge.
F
Everyone
knows
that
the
pal
Center
is
a
safe
place
for
parents
to
come
with
their
children,
predominantly
infants
toddlers,
but
really
up
to
five
to
six
years
of
age
and
again,
with
our
partnership
with
DSS
and
family
court.
We
often
see
families
with
older
children
as
well.
Our
goal
again
is
to
help
them
address
the
issues
that
they
are
having,
whether
they
are
there
for
a
visit
or,
if
they're,
just
there
for
a
drop
in
in
general
support.
F
Bonnie
is
our
health
center
coordinator
she's
been
with
us
10
years,
so
I
picked
up
the
phone
this
afternoon
and
called
her
and
said
Bonnie
I'm
meeting
with
cdgb
tonight.
Tell
me
again
why
you're
still
here-
and
the
first
thing
she
said
is
don't
make
me
cry,
but
she
said
I'm
here,
because
I
see
the
difference
that
we
make
with
families
we
let
parents
breathe
when
they
come
in
and
they've
maybe
had
stressors
in
the
home,
or
they
don't
have
enough
at
home
to
sustain
themselves
or
their
children.
F
They
don't
have
the
right
play
things
for
their
children.
They
know
they
can
come
in
and
this
is
a
safe
place
for
them
to
be,
with
their
child,
an
opportunity
to
connect
with
other
families,
other
parents
to
talk
about
some
of
the
challenges
of
being
parenting
and
to
help
their
kids
connect
with
other
children.
F
She
told
me
about
one
particular
mom,
who
has
a
special
need
child
and
she
felt
she's
she's
often
times
very
hesitant,
to
go
out
into
public
areas,
because
her
child
will
routinely
sort
of
misbehave
nodding,
acting
as
that
normal
child,
and
she
said
that
she
knows
that
when
she
comes
to
the
pal
Center.
This
is
really
a
safe
place
for
her
little
boy
that
he
can
do
what
he
needs
to
do.
F
He
can
play
and
we
can
actually
help
her
find
the
right
activities
for
him
developmentally
and
if
he
should
act
out,
we
have
private
spaces
where
he
can
go
and
de-stress
and
relax
a
little
bit.
So
the
work
that
we
do
is
really
critical
in
helping
families
in
every
aspect
of
their
life.
The
pictures
show
you
just
a
quick
samples
of
the
activities.
We
have
a
reading
activity
that
goes
on
on
a
weekly
basis.
F
Up
to
five
or
six
so
the
pale
Center
itself
is
predominantly
designed
for
families
with
infants
and
toddlers
children
up
to
age,
five
or
six.
But
as
I
mentioned
when
we're
doing
visitation,
then
we
will
take
families
with
older
children.
We
just
don't
have
a
lot
of
the
same
activities.
You
know
for
the
older
children,
so
we
try
to
be.
You
know
we
try
to
make
sure
we
have
some,
but
predominantly
it's
that
under
six
population.
F
Clients
come
to
us
in
a
variety
of
ways.
We
partner
very
closely
with
a
lot
of
other
organizations
in
the
city
and
in
the
county,
and
so
among
many
of
the
home.
Visiting
programs
bring
their
families
over
to
us.
They
introduce
them
to
the
center.
Through
our
community
health
workers,
which
work
with
our
pregnant
moms
and
new
families,
they
often
refer
a
family
over
to
the
center.
We
get
a
lot
of
referrals
from
acbc
because
of
the
people
are
in
care
and
we
also
work
closely
with
the
methadone
clinic.
F
F
F
F
I
would
honestly
need
my
staff
to
answer
that
more
definitively,
but
I
know
that
when
we
were
doing
tracking
on
timing
for
our
visitations,
we
had
families
that
would
visit
anywhere
from
one
hour
up
to
three
hours
and
we
do
have
families
who
you
know
again
come
to
tend
and
stay
for
at
least
two
to
three
hours.
A
minimum,
usually
in
the
center,
where
we
have
very
short
term,
is
because
we
have
our
children's
clothing
closet.
Anybody
can
come
in,
they
don't
have
to
be
registered
at
the
center.
F
They
don't
have
to
be
routinely
coming
to
the
center.
They
can
simply
stop
in
and
pick
up
clothing
for
their
child,
particularly
this
time
of
year.
There's
a
lot
of
Need
for
children's
coats
and
mittens
and
hats,
and
things
like
that,
and
so
really
anybody
can
refer.
Someone
or
a
family
can
just
drop
in
and
get
their
clothing.
F
F
Clearly,
with
covet,
you
know,
first
of
all,
with
covet
we
had
to
shut
down.
You
know
for
the
probably
the
first
nine
months
of
2020,
you
know
as
covet
hit.
We
then
had
to
set
up
private
stations
and
so
that
naturally
limited
the
number
of
families
that
could
come
in
and
more
particularly
limited,
the
number
of
supervised
visits
we
could
do
at
any
one
time.
F
At
the
beginning
of
this
year
we
actually
received
a
small
Grant
from
United
Way,
and
then
we
had
to
use
some
of
our
Reserve
funds,
but
we
created
two
private
rooms
and
that
then
allowed
us
to
bring
more
families
back
in
on
the
drop
and
then
still
have
dedicated
space
for
visitation.
So
our
numbers
definitely
have
decreased
slowly.
Coming
back,
as
both
parents
are
more
comfortable.
You
know
coming
back
in
and
continuing
to
grow.
That
way.
A
G
E
I
E
E
J
A
J
So
yeah
the
Noma.
What
we
are
is
really
a
community
anchor
for
the
census
track.
13..
If
you
want
to
switch
slides,
that's
our
new
location.
We
used
to
be
at
well.
We
still
are
technically
at
85
Walnut
Street,
but
we're
moving
to
30
Main
Street
overview
of
census,
tract
13..
It's
between
the
railroad
tracks,
Main
Street,
Jarvis,
no,
now
Jarvis,
Clinton
and
Front
Street.
J
We
have
some
statistics
for
census,
tracts,
13.,
you'll,
see
the
median
household
income
and
population
below
the
property
line,
childhood
poverty
rate
and
all
of
that
is
significantly
lower
or
higher.
Sorry,
income
is
lower
population
below
the
poverty
line
and
childhood
poverty
are
significantly
higher
than
both
the
city
of
Binghamton
and
Broome
County,
and
you
also
see
that
we
have
a
significantly
lower
rate
of
people
with
bachelor's
degrees.
J
J
You
get
that
from
having
people
interact
with
each
other.
We've
had
folks
who
their
kids
would
skip
school
if
their
parents
were
sick
and
they
didn't
have
someone
to
walk
them
to
school,
say
horse
man
or
what
have
you
and
they
met
up
with
other
people
who
you
know
over
at
the
Noma
Community
Center
to
they
made
connections
and
they
would
walk
to
school
together
with
their
kids,
making
it
so
that
those
kids
didn't
have
to
skip
class.
J
J
J
So
we've
got
a
number
of
programs
over
there.
First
off,
but
most
significant
is
our
Saturdays.
We
have
we
serve
lunch.
We
have
Binghamton
food
rescue,
who
is
a
partner
of
ours.
They
collect
food
and
produce
from
the
farmer's
market.
They
bring
it
over
from
the
farmers
market
closes
distributed
to
people
waiting
in
line,
so
they
can
have
fresh
produce
at
no
charge.
J
J
J
J
This
is
our
Fall
Festival
this
year.
Normally
it's
done.
It
was
done
in
Walnut,
Street
Park,
with
the
assistance
of
city
of
Binghamton
and
Binghamton
University.
This
year
we
had
it
at
our
85
Walnut,
Street
location.
It
was
a
really
big
turnout.
It
was
really
impressive.
We
had
did
I
strung
up
a
bunch
of
apples
between
the
trees
they
had
kids
biting
on
them
and
everything.
J
Next
slide,
we
have
family
fun
days
with
words
and
their
Aces
program
and
if
you're
not
familiar
with
Aces,
it's
acronym
for
advanced
childhood
experiences,
which
is
there's
a
scale
that,
based
on
the
type
of
experience,
Which
experiences.
A
child
has
can
determine
potential
health
issues
later
on
in
life,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
to
identify
it
and
also
work
with
people
who
have
experienced
events.
Adverse
childhood
experiences,
there's
also
a
Zumba
class
which
I
have
not
participated
in
yet
next
slide
for
Christmas.
J
Next
slide,
you
may
have
seen
the
news
bit
on
around
the
tears.
This
just
went
out
yesterday
announcing
the
Santa's
workshop
and
going
into
detail
about
all
of
that
again.
That's
this
Saturday
11-1
stop
by.
If
you'd
like
to
see
there's
some
candy
canes
I
brought
in,
we
got
some
pancakes
that
are
going
to
be
cooked
up
check
out
the
new
digs
next
slide
and
we
also
have
cooking
classes
where
we,
some
of
our
partners,
are
Cornell
Cooperative,
Extension
Vines.
J
J
Just
you
know
a
meal
and
next
slide.
So
our
new
chapter
we're
looking
for
funds
to
support
our
program,
expand
hours
and
programming
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
I
didn't
touch
on
teacher
Tuesdays.
Also,
we
we
have
We
Make
A,
home-cooked,
Meal
hot
meal
sent
home
with
the
kids.
We
also
have
community
members
join
us
and
we
just
chat
and
hang
out
and
yeah.
It's
just
a
place
where
people
can
come
and
just
focus.
Thank.
J
A
J
A
K
K
Yeah
is
this
better?
Is
that
good?
Okay?
Third
year?
Yes,
my
name
is
Grace
invited
by
Brandy,
who
I'm
very,
very
fond
of
and
of
Noma.
Just
in
general
I've
had
some
of
my
best
experiences
as
a
student
at
NoMa,
currently
I
co-lead,
the
art
group
on
Saturdays,
which
is
a
lot
of
fun.
We
get
to
engage
with
kids,
and
sometimes
we
can
wrap
in
some
adults
to
do
some
painting
with
us
as
well,
which
we
really
enjoy.
K
I've
also
helped
with
the
bfr
food
drive,
which
I
think
is
really
important.
If
we're
looking
at
the
statistics
on
the
board,
seeing
what
percentage
of
the
population
lives
in
poverty
and,
of
course,
they're
going
to
be
dealing
with
food
insecurity
and
all
these
other
issues
and
Noma
is
just
such
a
phenomenal
integrated
space
that
has
access
to
all
of
these
resources.
K
We
get
a
really
good
turnout,
every
Saturday
and
throughout
the
week
as
well,
because
there's
a
really
large
population
of
us
that
are
invested
in
this
community,
even
though
it's
like
our
adopted
or
host
community,
and
we
want
to
do
what
we
can
to
have
it
be
the
best
that
it
could
be
so.
Noma
is
a
wonderful
place
very
happy
that
I've
gotten
the
experience
to
be
a
part
of
it
and.
J
It's
not
not
a
lot
of
it's
not
a
as
much
outside
space,
but
we
have
usage
two
days
a
week
of
the
fellowship
hall,
it's
at
the
First
Congregational
Church
and
that's
a
gym
with
a
stage
and
there's
a
commercial
kitchen.
So
it's
it
really
is
an
upgrade
and
there's
another
spot
that
we're
working
on
getting
up
a
technology
enabled
classroom
so
with
a
65-inch
flat
screen
and
a
bunch
of
laptops
and
such.
J
J
A
E
A
E
E
L
L
Yes,
so
I'm
gonna
rely
on
my
notes
a
little
heavier
than
I'm
accustomed
to
it's,
not
a
problem.
If
not
I
would
could
be
unruly
and
I'd
run
really
long
and
I'm
pretty
sure
you're
the
hook
I've
been
hearing
about
it's
not
rated
for
me,
so
my
name
is
Steven
mushok
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
triple
cities
making
space.
L
L
D
K
L
Of
examples
of
what
that
might
look
like
especially
pre-pandemic,
we
partner
with
a
school
or
a
library
or
have
a
presence
at
a
community
event
for
examples.
One
of
the
schools
that
we
partnered
with
revolved
around
a
Mars
were
over
challenge.
We
helped
the
school,
create
a
pretty
elaborate
Mars
landscape.
We
built
basic
Rovers
for
the
students
to
that
they
could
operate
with
a
cell
phone.
L
L
Well,
we
have
gathered
what
I
consider
to
be
a
wide
range
and
an
impressive
amount
of
tools
and
Technology
into
one
location.
The
real
value
of
the
Makerspace
is
the
membership.
We
have
members
from
all
walks
of
life
with
diverse
backgrounds,
from
artists
to
engineers,
ranging
in
age
from
five
to
members
in
their
80s
Professionals
in
their
fields.
L
With
all
these
resources
and
talent
and
wanting
to
do
more
for
our
community,
the
Makerspace
started
Workforce
Development
programming
and
advanced
manufacturing
catering
to
distressed
populations,
including
the
unemployed,
underemployed,
marginalized
communities
and
veterans.
That
program
is
underway,
and
we
currently
have
nine
students
going
for
the
program.
This
program
is
free
and
after
they
complete
the
program,
we
will
try
to
assist
them
with
finding
gainful
employment
with
local
manufacturers
desperate
to
fill
open
positions.
L
You
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
we're
also
in
the
process
of
launching
an
art
for
all
program.
Art
is
known
to
have
therapeutic
and
cathartic
effects
on
Mental
Health
through
artistic
resources
and
programming.
We
are
looking
to
provide
a
healthy
outlet
for
vulnerable
populations
such
as
those
suffering,
the
mental
and
emotional
stresses
of
the
pandemic.
The
special
needs
individuals
and
their
families,
and
the
community
at
Large.
L
The
pandemic
had
an
especially
profound
effect
on
those
within
the
special
needs
community
and
their
families.
There
are
limited
access
to
resources
and
social
socialization
outlets
for
those
types
of
families
and
the
pandemic
only
made
that
worse
as
an
organization.
We
understand
that
resources
are
always
Limited
and
that
the
priority
rightly
goes
to
programs
that
address
the
most
immediate
needs
of
the
most
vulnerable
in
the
community
like
housing
and
nutrition,
but
I
believe
we're
also
offering
something
essential
like
most.
L
Our
business
was
and
in
some
ways
still
continues
to
be
harmed
by
the
pandemic,
our
long-term
strategies
for
being
self-sustaining,
while
maintaining
these
types
of
programs
has
been
set
back
by
the
pandemic.
However,
we
are
still
making
progress.
In
fact,
as
planned,
we
have
started
to
take
on
work,
utilizing
the
makerspace's
resources
to
raise
those
funds.
L
Recently
we
were
approached
by
Rob
salamida
meet
a
speed,
salamita
Speedy,
sauce
Fame
his
product
line
had
been
shut
down
after
a
part
broke
that
is
no
longer
being
manufactured
for
most
advanced
manufacturing
companies.
Manufacturing
a
single
or
limited
part
is
not
cost
effective
enough
to
take
on
for
us.
It's
exactly
the
kind
of
thing
we're
looking
for
every
time.
I
tell
this
story.
It
gets
a
little
bit
better
right
now
we
are
responsible,
perverting
the
great
Speedy
crisis
of
2022.
L
L
The
Makerspace
in
a
lot
of
ways
realizes
the
goal
of
a
diverse
Melting,
Pot
Members
Exchange,
their
knowledge
collaborate
share
their
experiences
when
they
help
one
another.
As
a
result,
the
overall
group
benefits
from
the
diversity.
My
daughter
has
a
genetic
condition.
Medically
fragile
terminal
and
two
of
the
students
in
our
Workforce
Development
program
asked
if
they
could
say
a
prayer
for
her.
They
are
immigrants
from
Haiti
and
they
recited
a
song
in
prayer
in
their
native
language.
L
Aside
from
being
moving,
The
Experience
itself
struck
me
where
else
in
my
travels
would
I
be
able
to
encounter
something
like
that
one
moment
and
be
exchanging
knowledge
with
someone
who
worked
at
Nasa
the
next
next
August
2023,
the
Makerspace
will
celebrate
its
10th
anniversary
as
a
business
in
Broome,
County,
seven
years
of
which
have
been
at
our
Binghamton
location
as
I
mentioned.
This
is
our
organization's
first
year
applying
for
this
funding.
L
This
funding
will
allow
us
to
continue
on
that
path,
fund
operations
and
allow
us
to
expand
and
share
our
membership
with
community
members
that
otherwise
could
not
afford
to
participate.
We're
asking
for
your
help
to
expand
our
reach
deeper
into
the
community,
so
that
more
people
may
benefit
from
what
we
have
to
offer.
Okay,
with
our
funding
request,
would
we
would
be
able
to
subsidize
membership
for
up
to
32
individuals
or
more
members
if
they
include
their
family
members
for
one
year?
L
I
L
L
M
A
A
L
L
That
one
started
it
was
basically
a
group
of
a
couple
people
who
had
a
bunch
of
maker
spaces.
Is
they
crop
up
in
cities
with
similar
enthusiasts?
Ours
came
the
same
way.
A
few
people
who
were
technologically
inclined
who
had
a
bunch
of
resources
got
together
and
started
it
and
then
it
kind
of
Grew
From
There.
We
started
in
Johnson
City
the
old
school
building,
we
kind
of
outgrew.
L
L
B
L
Well
like
right
now,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
doing
a
Workforce
Development
program
and
a
certain
percentage
I
would
personally
like
to
be
that
to
keep
them
on
and
around
the
Makerspace
to
continue
using
the
resources
we
have.
Should
they
not
be
employed,
they
can
keep
developing
their
skills
until
we
can
get
them
employed,
so
I
think.
Basically
we
would
go
out
and
search
for
them
as
underprivileged
people
who
could
not
normally
afford
it.
A
L

Good
evening,
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Bob
Bundy
and
I'm.
The
Broome
County
Council
of
Church's
ramp.
It
up
coordinator
I'd
like
to
thank
thank
Steve
Carson,
and
the
committee
for
inviting
me
tonight
to
have
the
opportunity
to
opportunity
to
apply
for
a
twenty
thousand
dollar
Community
Development
block,
grant
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
little
information
tonight
about
ramp.
N
It
up
tell
you
what
one
of
our
clients
had
to
say,
and
this
was
an
unsolicited
email
that
I
got
from
from
her
and
why
we
indicated
that
we
will
build
263
feet
of
ramp
for
some
citizens
living
in
Binghamton
and
then
finally
have
a
slideshow
that
will
show
you
some
of
the
projects
that
we
have
done
and
the
people
that
are
responsible
for
building
the
ramps
and
then
open
it
up
to
questions
and
answers
ramp.
It
up
has
been
around
since
2009.
N
N
So
we've
helped
an
additional
28
people
out
over
the
years,
which
brings
it
to
a
total
of
232
people
that
we've
helped
to
improve
their
Mobility
here
in
Broome,
County
and
the
program
is,
is
possible
through
the
generosity
of
all
the
residents
of
Broome
County
All,
the
Monies
that
we
have
come
from
donation
and
here's.
What
one
of
our
clients
had
to
say
about
the
program.
I'll
read
this
email
to
you,
hello,
Bob
and
all
the
other
ramp
builders.
N
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
this
amazing
ramp.
I
came
home
in
September
from
hospitals
and
rehab.
After
a
spinal
cord
injury,
my
house
was
inaccessible,
I
needed
a
ramp
and
I
found
the
ramp
It
Up
program.
I
spoke
to
Bob
Bundy,
find
out
found
out
that
I
qualified
and
then
sort
of
forgot
about
it.
Since
there
were
so
many
other
pressing
issues
but
ramp
it
up,
didn't
forget
ramp.
It
up
persisted
visited
me,
found
a
design
that
worked
and
made
plans
for
a
June
build
when
the
date
was
set.
N
It
sank
in
that
this
was
real,
but
I
didn't
know
what
that
meant.
I
was
picturing,
some
planks
nailed
together
to
get
me
off.
The
porch
boy
was
I
wrong.
You
build
a
huge
addition
to
my
life,
not
just
a
way
to
get
out
of
the
house.
It
was
a
way
to
enjoy
the
outdoors
again
expand
my
living
space,
get
the
exercise,
I
need,
and,
most
importantly,
it's
given
me.
Some
optimism
about
the
future.
N
David
and
I
are
grateful,
I'm
sure
we're,
not
the
only
ones
keep
up
the
good
work,
and
that
was
from
Alexandria
and
I'm
sure
you
want
to
know
how
this
process
gets
started
and
usually
it's
from
a
phone
call
and
the
phone
calls
go
something
like
this
Bob.
My
my
father-in-law
is
coming
home
from
the
hospital
next
week
and
I
need
a
ramp.
N
N
When
do
you
need
the
ramp,
and
most
always
it's
always
sooner
than
later-
and
you
know
next
week
would
be
great
when
he
comes
home
and
at
that
point,
I
have
to
say
geez,
I'm,
sorry
and
we
won't
be
able
to
meet
your
your
deadlines,
but
I'd
encourage
you
to
fill
out
an
application
and
get
involved
in
the
program
and
I
go
into
a
lot
more
detail.
But
in
the
interest
of
time,
I
won't
go
into
that
tonight
and
then
I
asked
them.
N
How
many
steps
are
there
to
get
from
where
you
enter
the
house
to
where
you'd
like
the
ramp
to
end
and
I'm,
going
to
say
four
steps?
Just
for
the
sake
of
explaining
this
example
to
you,
a
step
is
usually
between
seven
and
eight
inches,
so
they're
telling
me
that
there's
28
to
32
inches
of
height
to
be
able
to
get
from
the
ground
up
to
the
ramp
and
I
asked
Kenya.
If
she'd
assist
me
with
this
example.
So
if
you
could
come
up
here,
can
you.
E
I
G
E
I
I
I
I
A
Actually,
as
we're
watching
the
slides,
I
I
would
have
a
question
for
you
and
I
preface
it
with
the
fact
that
the
question
is
out
of
curiosity.
It
is
not
to
be
taken
in
any
way
as
a
negative,
but
I
know
that
the
first
word
Action
Council
also
builds
ramps,
I
think
especially
for
senior
citizens.
Would
you
consider
yourself
a
supplement
or
an
enhancement
to
their
program,
or
do
you
not
consider.
N
A
A
And
it's
good
to
know
that
you
take
them
apart
too,
because
I've
often
wondered,
as
you
know,
elderly
people
leave
the
neighborhoods,
and
that's
that
lovely
ramp
there.
If
the
person
who
owned
the
house
called
you,
you
would
be
willing
to
come
and
dismantle
it
absolutely
awesome
that
will
allow
you
to
do
more.
Yes,
we.
G
N
You
one
thing
I'd
like
to
to
leave
you
with,
is
when
I
I
learned
about
the
grant
opportunity,
I
had
I
think
it
was
83.
Applications
on
file,
so
I
went
through
those
and
looked
for
residents
in
the
city
of
Binghamton
and
I.
I
picked
the
neediest
one
which
I
I'm,
able
to
drive
in
numerical
score
from
the
application
process
and
I
went
out
and
visited,
and
this
doesn't
happen
very
often,
but
this
particular
household
I
could
not
put
a
ramp
in
there
because
there
was
167
inches
of
elevation.
N
So
you
know
this
was
30
that
was
160.
and
I
talked
with
the
parent.
They
have
a
a
seven-year-old,
that
is
multiple
handicapped
and
they
live
in
a
split
level
home
and
the
only
way
that
they
can
get
this
child
in
and
out
of
the
house
right
now
is
to
carry
them
up
downstairs
and
in
a
few
years
that's
not
going
to
be
possible.
N
I
I
worked
with
the
mother
and
we
located
a
place
in
the
house
where
we
could
locate
a
lift
and
build
a
shaft
for
the
lift
to
go
in
to
get
this.
This
youngster
from
the
first
floor,
which
is
a
drive-in
basement
driving
garage
basement
area
up
to
the
first
floor,
where
the
living
quarters
are
problem
is
a
project
like
that
and
I'm
giving
you
a
real
rough
number
would
probably
be
around
thirty
five
thousand
dollars,
but
this
child
seven
years
old.
N
A
M
M
Is
to
see
new
programs
to
be
considered
many
times.
We
have
the
same
programs
over
and
over
and
over
again
without
any
seeking
of
other
funds.
So
I'm
just
welcome
to
our
consideration
phenomenal
demonstration
in
that
family.
If
you
contact
Steve,
there's
another
program
for
modification
of
their
home,
that
would
not
be
part
of
this
foreign.
A
H
A
E
A
A
O
O
Of
the
way,
obviously
so
I
am
here
to
talk
about
a
Safety
and
Security
Grant
for
those
of
you
who
have
been
on
this
committee
for
a
while.
This
is
probably
going
to
look
familiar
because
we
requested
this
funding
last
year
and
the
mayor
had
different
plans
for
cdbg
funding,
so
he
reallocated
some
things
to
another
property
on
our
site.
So
a
thank
you
for
having
me
tonight
and
also
thank
you
for
the
previous
support
that
you
have.
O
E
O
So
Robertson
Museum
and
Science
Center
has
been
an
operation
for
almost
70
years.
We
serve
the
west
side
of
Binghamton
and
have
been
an
integral
part
of
the
city
for
many
years,
offering
programs
in
art,
history
and
science
to
people
of
all
ages
and
I.
Don't
really
have
my
notes
because
they're
on
the
computer,
so
I'm
going
to
kind
of
wing
it,
but
what
we
are
requesting
today
is
an
outdoor
lighting
request
and
I
have
some
visuals
to
share
about
that.
O
O
O
O
A
O
O
So
here's
an
example
of
some
footage
for
our
security
camera.
This
was
at
20,
20
20
hours
was
20
hours.
Somebody
helped
me
out
with
the
eight
block
two
it's
eight
o'clock
at
night
right,
so
we
have
some
visitors,
they
walk
through
the
Museum's,
not
open,
but
it's
dark
it's
dangerous
and
we
would
like
people
moving
through
over
to
the
right.
You
can
actually
see
one
of
our
holiday
displays
tonight.
O
In
fact,
we
are
hosting
the
second
night
of
uhs's
holiday
party
at
the
Museum
and
the
folks
who
were
outside
from
UHS
directing
traffic.
They
were
wondering
if
we
had
any
more
lighting
because
they
couldn't
see
so
some
changes
need
to
happen
there,
but
you
know
visitors
biking
through
taking
selfies
with
the
dog
in
front
of
the
holiday
decorations.
This
is
all
pretty
typical
Behavior.
Oh
there's
the
kids
setting
up
the
decorations
again.
These
are
last
year's,
but
we
do
have
new
decorations.
O
O
This
image
just
shows
the
three
light
poles
at
the
end
of
the
driveway.
That's
those
are
the
green
circles.
Those
lights
are
on
actually,
so
just
think
about
that.
I
guess
that
yeah,
it's
a
problem
and
also
the
huge
dark
area
over
to
the
right
again
lights
that
are
on
the
top
three
I
think
are
functioning
the
bottom
one
is
not
working.
My
car
is
actually
parked
there
and
I
always
park
there,
because
I
feel
like
if
anyone's
going
to
be
asked
to
park
there.
It
should
be
me:
that's.
O
Here's
a
light
that
we
replace
is
attachment
building.
This
is
what
the
whole
parking
lot
should.
Look
like.
Essentially,
you
know
well
lit
again:
we've
got
a
lightning
fixture.
It's
not
on
doesn't
function
been
there
since
probably
1960.,
and
all
this
ties
into
blueprint,
binghamton's
larger,
comprehensive
plan,
which
I
think
is
still
the
Strategic
plan
for
Binghamton
last
I
knew
hasn't
been
updated.
Since
then,
our
application
has
some
details
about
that.
O
That
I
won't
bore
you
with
and
I,
also
didn't
memorize
them,
because
my
notes
are
on
the
computer,
but
this
does
fit
into
the
comprehensive
plan
a
few
different
ways.
We
do
see
every
single
Binghamton
City
of
Binghamton,
fourth
grader
for
our
Native
American
programming,
as
well
as
I,
think
we
see
every
third
grader
now
I
think
that
just
started
happening
too.
So
we've
been
an
important
part
of
a
lot
of
people's
educations.
If
you
grew
up
in
Binghamton
or
even
in
the
greater
Binghamton
area,
Roberson
was
probably
your
first
Museum.
O
D
I
remember
this
presentation
from
before
and
I'll
ask
the
same
question
because
I
don't
remember
the
answer
where
the
lights
will
be
replaced
by
the
river
house.
Is
that
going
to
be
an
issue
with
the
residents
that
there's
too
much
lighting
they
do
have
to
get
permission
through
Planning
Commission?
You
have
to
go
before
the
afford
to
get
approval
to
have
the
lights,
because
you
know.
Are
you
going
to
run
into
issues.
O
I
do
remember
this
question
from
last
year.
Thank
you
and
I
think
my
answer
last
year
was
the
the
lights.
Now
are
the
light
heads
that
we
would
be
getting
would
be
very
specially
focused,
so
there
would
be
less
light
bleeding
into
other
various
areas
and
they
would
be
more
directed
down
towards
the
driveway
and
we
do
have
enough
of
them,
but
we
could
also
install
multiple
heads
to
spread
out
the
puddle
of
light,
as
it
were.
D
O
A
I
have
a
question
for
you
and
it's
rather
delicate
and
might
even
be
a
little
bit
on
the
political
side,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
if
the
River
Project
and
the
whole
Bridge
thing
goes
through,
your
lighting
is
incumbent
upon
the
city
of
Binghamton.
I
actually
have
something
good
there.
If
they're
going
to
keep
that
staircase.
A
O
O
O
Has-
and
we
do
our
best
to
keep
it
clear
and,
like
I
said
we
we
don't
mind
people
using
our
parking
lot.
For
that,
that's
fine,
there's
people
are
still
playing
Pokemon,
go
in
our
parking
lot
on
their
phones,
believe
it
or
not.
It's
still
a
thing
that
happens
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
We're
a
service
to
the
community.
That's
what
we're
there
for
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
feels
comfortable
frankly,
including
my
staff.
A
A
D
M
A
H
H
A
O

C
A
Cool
well
I
I
brought
up
the
stairs
because,
as
the
city,
you
know,
as
as
the
block
grant
and
City,
we
need
to
take
those
things,
perhaps
into
consideration,
or
at
least
raise
them
for
the
city
to
understand
that
there
might
be
liability
that
goes
beyond
Roberson
there,
and
that
was
the
only
reason.
I
brought
that
up.
If
the
stairway
weren't
there,
it
would
be
very
clear-cut
because.
C
A
E
A
A
P
P
Here
my
name
is
April
Ramsey
I'm,
the
director
of
program
development
at
Family,
Enrichment
Network.
Thank
you
for
inviting
me
to
this
meeting.
We
are
asking
for
funding
to
support
our
emergency
Solutions
Grant
funded
caring
homes
program
with
the
carrying
homeless
program.
We
provide
assistance
to
support
individuals
so
that
they
can
remain
stably
housed
or
so
that
they
can
secure
stable
housing.
We
offer
financial
assistance
for
rent
of
rears
utilities,
shutoffs
or
security
deposits.
P
So
when
somebody
comes
to
us,
they're
referred
to
us
by
the
coordinated
entry
program,
so
someone
will
call
211,
for
example,
and
explain
the
situation
and,
if
they're,
in
need
of
financial
assistance
for
those
things
that
I
just
mentioned
two
on
one
will
then
do
an
assessment
and
if
they're
in
the
city
of
Binghamton,
we'll
refer
them
to
us
once
we
get
that
call.
We
go
through
a
series
of
questions.
We
then
meet
with
the
individual
and
we
talk
about
you
know
where
are
you
and
where
you
want
to
be
right?
P
We
also
in
addition
to
offering
the
financial
assistance.
In
the
case
management,
we
offer
Home
Inspection.
So
if
somebody
wants
to,
you
know
a
move
because
they
can
no
longer
live
in
their
apartment
or
their
house,
our
case
manager
will
go
in
and
offer
an
inspection
to
make
sure
that
it's
habitable.
P
P
With
this
funding,
we
propose
to
serve
30
individuals
over
the
course
of
the
year
and
I.
Think
Debbie
made
a
very
important
point
when
she
said
you
know:
agencies
come
to
us
year
after
year,
asking
for
funding
for
the
same
programs.
I
think
that's
really
important
that
she
raises
that
we're
one
of
those
who
come
to
you
year
after
year
asking
for
funding
for
this
program.
But
it's
Disturbed
this
city
of
Binghamton
residents.
P
We
have
submitted
proposals
to
the
Broome
County
United
Way
before
and
were
successfully
awarded,
and
what
we
did
with
that
funding
is
provided
the
same
service
but
to
individuals
outside
of
the
city
of
Binghamton.
So
all
within
the
county
of
you
know,
Broome
County
I
also
submitted
a
proposal
to
New
York
State
solutions
to
end
homelessness
program.
It
was
approved
but
not
awarded.
K
P
M
M
I
know
I
try
to
spread
the
word,
and
people
have
gone
to
that,
but
a
larger
reach
than
just
a
voice
would
maybe
be
the
new
program
on
WBNG
it's
in
the
morning.
It's
like
an
expanded
Community
morning,
as
well
as
possibly
one
of
the
radio
shows,
because
you
never
know
who
you're
going
to
reach.
It
might
be
a
reminder
for
an
agency
person.
Oh
that's,
a
family
I
could
help.
It's
always.
You
know
getting
your
message
out
there,
because
you
folks
do
a
great
job
and
it's
really
needed.
So.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
A
Q
I
I
need
to
stress
something:
I
do
apologize
that
at
the
end
of
every
single
section
of
minutes
there
is
the
budget
that
was
just
because
I
copied
and
pasted
the
old
minutes
and
then
updated
and
keep
forgetting
to
take
the
tables
out.
So
the
tables
of
budgets
do
not
need
to
be
in
there
they're,
not
other
than
me,
just
kindness
endlessly,
reminding
you
guys
of
what
the
budget
was
approved
for
last
year.
That
there's
no
need
for
those
to
be
in
there.
Well.
