A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
wednesday
may
25th
meeting
of
the
city
administration
committee
go
ahead
and
call
this
meeting
to
order.
I'm
joined
by
person
mcgonagall
all
the
person
when
all
the
person
bargain
and
all
the
person,
definitely
starting.
First
just
for
agenda
review.
Colleagues,
I
have
two
items
that
I
am
going
to
ask
for
unanimous
consent
to
add
to
the
agenda
this
evening.
One
is
an
emergency
repair.
Authorization
for
the
ipd
hvac
system
submitted
to
me
as
an
emergency
repair
for
the
building
for
air
conditioning.
A
I
believe
and
just
received
it
this
evening,
so
they
can
get
started
on
this
afternoon.
Excuse
me
so
they
can
get
started
on
work.
I'm
fixing
that,
and
the
other
item
to
add
is
a
request
to
release
restrict
restricted
contingency
funding
for
the
community
justice
center
resolutions
have,
I
believe,
been
circulated
via
email
to.
Colleagues.
Apologies.
A
We
will
add
those
for
the
public's
benefit
to
the
agenda
packet
if
they
are
added
to
this
resolution
to
the
agenda.
Excuse
me,
but
just
for
the
purposes
of
adding
them
to
the
agenda
this
evening.
Do
I
have
any
objections
to
adding
these
items
to
the
agenda.
A
Okay,
great
so
we'll
add
those
as
4.8,
I'm
sorry,
we'll
add
those
as
yes,
4.8
and
4.9
respectively,
we'll
go
to
review
of
the
april
minutes.
So
do
I
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
minutes.
A
George,
thank
you.
Is
there
a
second
so
jeffrey?
Thank
you
I'll
I'll.
Just
make
one
minor
comment.
I
I
just
see
procedurally
underexcused
we
had
all
the
persons
brock
and
acting
mayor
lewis,
and
they,
I
think,
should
be
under
the
others
present
they.
They
were
not
excused
or
absent
for
that
matter,
but
otherwise
I
don't
think
there's
any
issues
any
further
additions
or
deletions
to
the
minutes.
A
Okay,
all
in
favor
of
accepting
the
april
minutes
and
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
We
will
turn
to
statements
from
the
public
this
evening
and
I
believe
eric
lerner
is
our
only
individual
signed
up
for
public
comment
this
evening.
So
I'll
give
him
a
moment
to
join
steve.
I
see
in
the
chat
that
the
that
it's
possible
that
the
cjc
resolution,
or
one
of
these
resolutions
only
made
it
to
you
and
I
this
afternoon.
A
Could
you
would
you
mind
just
forwarding
that
to
the
group
or
faith,
if
you
have
it
just
while
we're.
B
A
But
yeah
it
was
just
to
us:
apologies,
y'all,
okay!
So,
mr
leonard,
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
this
evening.
As
as
you
know,
you
have
three
minutes
and
apologies.
We
will
not.
We
will.
We
will
not
interrupt
you
during
your
time,
but
we
will
remind
you
when
your
three
minutes
are
up.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
the
floor
is
yours.
D
Okay,
thanks
rob
good
evening,
I'm
eric
lerner.
I
live
on
south
plain
street
in
the
second
ward,
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
coalition
for
snow,
free,
sidewalks
and
crosswalks,
which
includes
bike,
walk,
tompkins
finger
lakes,
independence
center
and
the
tompkins
county
office
for
the
aging,
our
goal
is
for
ithaca's,
crosswalk,
sidewalks
and
other
pedestrian
walkways
to
be
cleared
of
snow
and
ice
as
effectively
as
our
streets.
D
D
Thanks
rob
for
following
up
by
communicating
with
margaret
johnson
and
jan
lynch
yesterday
and
today,
rob
suggested
that
he
could
facilitate
scheduling
one
or
more
informational
sessions
for
council
members
with
our
coalition.
This
would
help
bring
council
members
up
to
speed
on
this
issue
without
taking
up
scarce
agenda
time
at
regular
ca
committee
meetings.
D
D
D
D
I'd
like
to
remind
you
that
we
posted
our
list
of
questions
for
dpw
online
back
in
the
winter
and
they
are
still
online
on
my
website.
The
link
is
in
the
transcript
of
what
I'm
reading
to
you
right
now.
Anyone
who's
watching
can
find
us
by
googling
the
coalition
for
snow,
free,
sidewalks
and
crosswalks.
D
A
Eric
all
right,
I
believe
that
is
the
only
public
comment
this
evening,
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
colleagues
for
response
privilege
of
the
floor.
I
would
just
start
by
saying
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
recent
tragedies
in
buffalo
and
ivaldi.
A
Speaking
personally,
you
know
my
heart
has
been
the
victims
of
this
senseless
mass
violence
and
I
hope
that
our
elected
federal
and
state
leaders
can
find
the
will
and
the
moral
courage
to
take
real
action
to
pass
stricter
regulation
and
weapons
in
this
country
to
prevent
these
atrocities
from
happening
again
jorge.
I
saw
your
hand.
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
those
words
robert.
I
echo
them
entirely
it's
time
to
get
our
act
together
and
actually
govern
and
solve
these
problems.
That
being
said
on
the
topic
of
governing
eric,
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
It
was
really
wonderful
and
well
thought
out
when
I
was
canvassing
last
year,
knocking
doors
within
my
within
my
district.
F
The
perhaps
the
number
one
issue
that
was
coming
up
for
folks
was
infrastructure,
sidewalks
road
maintenance,
how
these,
how
our
roads
and
our
walkways
are
in
disrepair
and
for
you
know
I
have
you
know
in
my
ward,
a
collection
of
college
students
and
long-term
residents,
many
of
them
elderly
and
some
disabled,
and
so
these
are
you
know.
These
are
pertinent
issues
with
them
and
you
know,
with
you,
know,
winter
being
a
closer
to
a
10-month
ordeal
here
in
ithaca
or
close
to
it.
F
It
feels
like
it's
a
big
issue,
and
so
I
would
love
to
reach
out
and
set
up
some
conversation
with
you
guys.
You
know
you
guys
can
reach
out
to
me
at
any
time.
You
know
my.
I
can
provide
my
email
in
the
chat,
but
thank
you
for
this.
This
is
wonderful
work
and
I'd
love
to
support
it
in
every
way
that
I
can.
A
Thank
you
jorge.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
acting
mayor
lewis
has
joined
us.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening.
Any
further
comments
from
colleagues
at
this
time.
G
This
is
a
question
for
jorge
last
last
month.
You
mentioned
that
it
might
be
possible
to
organize
students
to
help
clear
corners
is.
Is
that
a
realistic
proposal.
F
Definitely
something
that
we
could
talk
about
absolutely
I
mean
my
in
my
in
my
times
here
at
on
cornell.
You
know
I
I
came
from
a
progressive
group
of
cornell
progressives
who
take
you,
know
progressive
infrastructure
as
a
matter
of
public
safety
and
something
that
they're
very
concerned
about
they've
got
a
lot
of
free
time.
You
know
as
long
as
it's
not
prelim
season,
they
could
definitely
help
out
with.
In
that
regard.
F
I
also
know
there
are
a
lot
of
different
organizations
that
focus
on
service,
whether
it
be
community
service
or
or
trying
to
help
out
and
build
inroads
within
the
cornell
community,
but
also
the
ithca
community.
So
I
can
definitely
start
arranging
for
those
conversations,
so
they
want
them
to
happen.
F
Obviously,
folks
are
going
to
be
gone
for
the
next
couple
of
months
because
of
summer
internships
and
graduation,
what
not
but
definitely
make
those
inroads
and
make
those
connections
so
that
we
could
have
something
ready
when
winter,
very
quietly,
but
quickly
approaches
on
us
after
august.
Definitely.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
again
for
mr
warner
joining
us
this
evening.
So
we'll
move
on
to
our
our
voting
items.
First
on
the
docket
is
3.1
police
amendment
to
personnel
roster.
Could
I
get
a
mover
for
this?
Please
george.
A
Moving
first
and
then
and
then
second
after
the
motion.
So
if
you.
A
Yes,
but
we
would
just
read
the
at
least
the
results
and
the
resolution
before
we.
G
That
merits
a
reclassification
of
the
position
to
administrative
assistant
and
whereas
the
ithaca
civil
service
commission
will
review
the
proposed
reclassification
of
the
offices
office
assistant
position
to
administrative
assistant
at
their
june
1st
2022
meeting
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
subject
to
the
approval
of
the
ithaca
civil
service.
Commission,
the
personnel
roster
of
the
ithaca
police
department
be
amended
as
follows.
A
Thank
you,
george.
May
I
have
a
second
thank
you
jeffrey
all
right,
so
discussion
and
I'll
just
also
invite
you
know.
I
know
chief
julie's
here.
If
there's
any
preparatory
comments,
you'd
like
to
add
to
this
discussion.
H
Sure,
thank
you
this.
This
resolution
here,
I
think,
is,
is
really
important
for
the
department.
I
think
part
of
just
a
couple
different
reasons
why
this
is
important
and
hopefully
I'll
gain
your
support.
Tonight
we
have
an
ip
several
civilian
employees
that
operate
in
different
parts
of
the
department.
H
This
particular
position
is
assigned
to
the
investigative
division
and
the
position
description
of
their
was
written
and,
and
that
position
was
filled
quite
some
time
ago
and
over
the
last
decade
the
duties
and
responsibilities
that
have
gone
along
with
that
position
have
grown
tremendously
as
hr
has
reviewed,
and
they
would
agree-
and
I
think
it's
important-
that
we
recognize
that
the
hard
work
that
is
put
in
by
all
of
our
employees
sworn
and
civilian
staff
that
we
ensure
that
their
positions
are
classified
properly
and
that
they're
paid
appropriately
and
that
there's
also
room
for
job
growth
and
a
career
ladder
and
path
for
them
to
go
for
all
the
swing
staff.
H
So
this
would
help
me
accomplish
all
those
things
and
also
it
just.
This
position
is
very
necessary
for
me
and
I
it
allows
the
smooth
functioning
of
the
investigative
division
this.
This
position
helps
out
with
many
different
large-scale
cases
assist
with
office.
You
know
paperwork
but
also
interact
with
the
public.
The
courts
there's
there's
a
lot
of
different
duties
that
have
been
built
into
this
position,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
that
and
that's
what
this
resolution
is
for.
A
Thanks
chief
discussion
comments,
questions
from
colleagues.
A
Okay,
seeing
none
go
to
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
the
resolution.
A
And
that
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you
very
much
move
to
3.2
approval
of
lexapol
policy
services
contract.
Would
someone
like
to
move
that.

and
being
further
resolved.
A
Thank
you,
duckson.
Is
there
a
second
seconded
by
jeff
barkin,
thank
you
and
chief
I'll
invite
you
again
to
share
any
preparatory
comments
you
have
for
our
discussion
here.
H
Thank
you
this.
If
I
can,
I
guess
I'll
start
with
a
little
bit
of
history,
why?
I
think
this
is
very
valuable,
again
and
hope
to
gain
your
support
here
for
the
entire
length
of
time
that
I've
been
at
ipd.
We
have
as
a
department
taking
multiple
attempts
over
that
17
years
to
try
to
prioritize
the
policies,
get
them
up
to
date,
put
them
in
a
format,
that's
easily
accessible
by
all
officers
and
for
a
very
short
period
of
time.
H
Recently,
I
restructured
the
department
and
assigned
a
supervisor
that
would
be
responsible
for
policies
and
accreditation,
which
is
the
ultimate
goal
for
this,
and
in
doing
so
I
had
a
conversation
fire
chief
chief
parsons
reached
out
and
expressed
his
his
support
for
lex
bowl
for
the
fire
policies,
and
he
explained
that
he
thought
it
was
a
very
worthy
company
to
join
and
it
was
very
successful
with
the
fire
department.
H
He
set
up
a
a
demo
for
me
and
several
of
the
instructors,
and
I
sat
through
this
demo
and
I
hopefully
you've
all
gotten
some
copies.
I
submitted
some
additional
information
to
try
to
provide
more
background,
but
ultimately,
lexapol
provides
police
policy
services
for
over
160
departments
in
new
york
state
and
with
this
subscription
they
would
assign
us
a
college,
a
policy
manager
and
help
us
with
the
implementation,
which
would
ex
essentially
between
that
and
also
the
sergeant
who
have
designated
you
know.
H
According
to
lexical,
we
should
have
all
the
policies
up
and
running
in
six
to
nine
months,
which
would
be
a
a
huge
huge
progress
for
the
department,
and
I
also
think
that
we've
had
a
couple
of
difficult
years
between
you
know,
starting
with
the
death
of
george
floyd
and
the
protests
and
the
different
ways
that
we
tried
to
avoid
conflict
with
the
community
in
a
different
way
that
we
tried
to
really
learn
and
hear
what
the
community
needed
from
the
police
department
and
make
adjustments
to
to
meet
those
needs.
H
And
then
also
we
rolled.
You
know
dovetailed
right
into
to
cover,
and
I
think
that
for
me,
as
the
chief,
the
the
really
the
most
efficient
best
way
to
move
forward
and
to
get
the
officers
out
there
active
is
to
really
provide
them
with
clear
guidelines
of
what
is
expected
of
them,
a
clear
resource
that
they
can
go
to.
So
they
have
100
understanding
of
what
the
department
expects
from
them.
H
What
the
current
course
of
action
should
be,
what
the
you
know,
the
newest
best
practices
are
and
that
they
have
an
easy
way
to
reference
it,
and
that
would
all
be
accomplished
through
this
subscription
service.
Here,
the
17
000
a
year
in
annual
fees
is
not
required.
There's
no
length
of
time
that
we're
committed
to
this.
H
At
this
point,
it
would
be
nice
to
have
that,
because
what
that
allows
us
for
is
they
continue
to
give
us
quizzers?
They
continue
to
give
us
information
to
push
out
this
training
related,
that
that
shows
that
there
is
an
understanding
of
the
officers
that
tracks
the
training,
but
it
also,
whenever
there's
a
legislative
update,
it
automatically
updates
the
policies
and
pushes
them
out
to
all
users,
which
would
be
very
efficient
and
helpful
for
us
to
stay
at
the
cutting
edge
of
all
this.
H
However,
if
we,
you
know,
review
that
subscription
and
feel
that
we
don't
need
to
spend
that
money,
we
can
always
drop
that
part
of
it.
We
would
have
all
the
policies
to
use
thereafter.
H
The
police
one
subscription
also
includes
some
wellness
wellness
training.
I
mean
there
is
a
huge
catalog
of
courses
there's
over
1200
courses
that
are
online.
There
are
10
minutes
or
less,
which
could
be
used
for
roll
call.
Trainings
there's
also
like
I
said
well
on
this,
but
all
these
other
topics
that,
where
officers
we
could
assign
them
to
go
in
there
log
in
and
it's
all
tracking
the
system
and
software.
H
H
That
is
a
comparable
amount
of
money
to
that
with
power
dms
as
a
software
service
that
we
use
right
now
to
manage
our
current
policies,
which,
once
we
move
to
lexico,
we'll
no
longer
need
to
use
that
that
software,
and
that
will
then
free
up
the
necessary
funding
that
we
need
in
our
budget
currently
to
continue
with
the
police,
one
academy,
which
is
that
training,
the
access
to
that
training
database.
H
So-
and
I
noticed
in
the
paperwork
that
I
had
submitted-
the
annual
cost
of
the
police,
one
academy
was
four
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
dollars
and
seventy
six
cents
that
actually
includes
a
part
of
the
software
that
we're
not
gonna
take
advantage
of
that.
We
would
not
be
signing
up
for
the
inventory
portion
of
that
because
we
measure
inventory
into
different
different
software.
So
we
don't
need
that
700,
so
it
actually
a
little
bit
less
expensive.
E
Thanks
chief
faith,
you
okay.
E
C
So
you
should
have
all
received
something
from
the
fire
chief
in
your
email,
probably
a
few
minutes
ago,
about
his
support
for
this
project.
C
J
Yeah
thanks
chief
for
the
the
overview
there
you
answer
actually
most
of
my
questions.
I
just
have
a
general
question.
You
know
what
was
our
process
for
for
landing
on
lexical.
Did
we
review
any
other
possible
options
for
this
service
in
in
comparison.
H
Sure
that's
a
great
question,
so
we
landed
on
lexi
poll.
Like
I
said
it
was
we
knew
of
lexico.
We
actually
looked
at
lexical
back
in
2018
and
at
that
time,
their
quote
to
for
us
to
utilize
them
for
the
same.
The
same
implementation
was
over
65
000.,
so
we
elected
to
use
a
daigo
law
firm
at
that
point
in
time,
but
we
didn't.
It
was
a
similar
service
that
we
got
from
them
where
they
provide
us
policies.
However,
it
didn't
include
any
annual
subscription
type
of
thing.
H
It
didn't
include
continual
updates
the
policies
we
could
certainly
reach
out
to
them,
pay
them
hourly
after
the
fact,
and
they
could
give
us
updates,
but
it
wasn't
quite.
It
was
very
similar
kind
of
like
chevy
and
ford.
If
you
will
at
that
time
and
then
since
then,
we
we
needed
at
this
point
really,
you
know
as
a
goal
for
the
department.
I
really
wanted
to
dive
into
this
and
get
this
done
as
quickly
and
efficiently
as
we
can,
because
it's
such
a
huge
issue.
H
It
affects
internal
discipline,
it
affects
so
many
different
aspects
of
you
know.
Managing
leading
the
department
and
lexapol,
like
I
said,
was
something
that
was
recommended
by
the
fire
chief,
that
I
look
into
and
they're
very
rapid
call
me
they're
as
far
as
I
know,
they're
the
largest
company
in
the
country
that
does
this
and
they
have
a
huge
presence
in
new
york
state
so,
as
I
kind
of
alluded
to
they've
reduced
their
costs
significantly
in
this
go
around
for
us.
G
Yeah,
I
I'm
gonna
support
this.
I
anything
that
involves
community
policy,
community,
policing,
training
and
ethics
and
all
these
different
aspects
of
training.
I
support.
Can
you
remind
me
chief
because
I've
been
this
has
been
explained
before,
and
I
forget
the
importance
of
certification
for
the
department?
H
So,
along
with
the
the
policies,
they
will
assist
us
in
getting
getting
us
accredited
with
new
york
state
and
then
what
will
happen
is
they'll.
This
implementation
manager
will
work
with
our
sergeants
assigned
to
this,
and
then
we'll
also
have
somebody
assigned
to
us
from
from
the
state
to
work.
So
the
three
of
those
individuals
work
together
to
ensure
that
we
meet
the
requirements
to
become
accredited
and
what
happens
once
we're
accredited.
H
H
You
know,
I
guess,
that's
really
dependent
upon
our
insurance
company
and
how
much
that
goes
down,
but
essentially
it
ensures
that
the
state
has
reviewed
our
policies
that
we
meet
120
plus
different,
set
criteria
that
the
state
has
set
out
there
for
us
to
be
a
professional
agency
and
doing
everything
from
managing
evidence
managing
property,
ensuring
the
policy
compliance
has
to
do
with
facilities,
and
then
we
could
ultimately
then
also
potentially
be
have
acts
greater
access
to
grant
funding
through
the
state.
A
We'll
go
to
a
vote
all
in
favor
of
resolution,
3.2.
A
All
right
next
3.3
approval
of
final
block
power,
electrification
contract.
Would
someone
like
to
move
that?
Please.
A
F
I'm
gonna
come
to
the
docs
all
right,
whereas
government
administration,
human
resources
and

and
the

have
therefore
negotiated
thereafter

F
Now,
therefore,

of
million
dollar
words
in
that
resolution.
A
Thank

jorge.
Is
there
a
second
seconded
by
ducks,
and
thank
you
and
I'll
note,
ari

rebecca,

any
questions
on
this
either

you.
Have
any
preparatory
comments,
you'd
like
to
add.
A
Okay,

A
Seeing

F
G
A
All
right
seeing

we'll
go

call

a
vote.
All
those
in
favor.
A
We
will
now
move
to
resolution
3.4
adoption
of
redistricting
report
and
colleagues
following
along
in
their
agenda
packet.
There
is
a
good
deal
of
scrolling
to
do
begins.
On
page
38,
I
believe
someone
like
to
move.
I
Adopt
report
and
recommendation
of
the
redistricting
working
group,
whereas
every
10
years
following
the
decennial
federal
census,
the
city
of
ithaca
reapportions,
its
common
council
by
adopting
new
ward
boundaries
to
be
set
forth
in
section
three
of
the
city
charter.
Whereas
the
city
formed
a
redistricting
working
group
composed
one
member
from
each
of
the
city's
five
words
to
develop
new
word
boundaries
to
be
proposed
to
common
council
for
adoption.
I
Whereas
the
redistricting
working
group
held
bi-weekly
meetings
to
examine
the
city's
population,
changes.
Consider
the
relevant
statutory
requirements
generate
potential
word
maps
for
discussion
and
solicit
input
from
the
public
and
relevant
stakeholders
regarding
proposed
word
boundaries,
whereas
the
redistricting
working
group
submitted
its
written
report
and
unanimous
recommendation
for
new
ward
boundaries
to
the
acting
mayor
and
common
council
on
april
19
2022
and
delivered
a
presentation
of
the
same
at
a
meeting
of
the
common
council
held
on
may
5th.
2022
now
be
it
here
by
now.
That
will
be
resolved.
I
That
common
council
adopts
the
report
and
recommendation
of
the
discriminating
working
group
in
full
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
common
council
intends
to
implement
the
report
and
recommendation
of
the
redistricting
working
group.
Following
a
public
hearing
and
friends.
Discussion
by
common
council.
E
Thank
you,
duckson.
Is
there
a
second
seconded
by
jorge
discussion,
mayor
lewis,.
K
I'm
sorry,
I
believe
the
date
of
the
council
meeting
was
may
4th.
L
That's
correct,
my
apologies.
Thank
you
for
that.
F
Yeah,
I
imagine
we'll
get
into
further
discussion
about
this
as
time
goes
on
with
council,
but
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
didn't
mention
something
that
I've
been
thinking
about.
First,
I
just
want
to
get
out
of
the
gate,
immense
amount
of
gratitude
and
thanks
to
all
the
people
who
work
tirelessly
on
on
these
maps,
hank
katie
seth,
all
the
folks
who
are
involved
in
that
tremendous
work,
and
I
cannot
express
my
gratitude
enough
to
you
guys
for
a
really
a
thankless
job.
So
thank
you
for
that.
F
But
with
that
being
said,
I
do
have
some
concerns
regarding
particularly
how
some
of
the
awards
are
are
they're
sort
of
realigned
and-
and
I
don't
mean
sort
of
I'm
just
sort
of
concerned
about
how
some
sort
of
how
some
communities
are
going
to
be
held
together
versus
how
others
will
sort
of
be
impacted
by
this.
In
particular.
F
I
I
think
it
would.
It
would
be
remiss
not
to
mention
that
the
one
of
the
first
you
know
women
of
color,
that
we've
had
in
a
long
time,
older
person
brown
is
not
going
to
be
like
districted
into
this
new
into
her
existing
seat
right
now,
as
it
stands,
should
these
maps
hold-
and
you
know
to
me
that
sends
a
message
of
how
how
how
is
this
impacting
the
communities
that
are
as
they
exist
currently,
and
so
that
was
just
a
point.
F
I
wanted
to
bring
up
and
that's
not
to
sort
of
say
I'm
going
to
vote
against
this
or
whatnot.
It's
just
a
point
of
discussion.
I
think
we
should
be
having
and
seeing
how,
because
I
know
this
is
something
that
was
taught
kept
into
consideration
with
the
working
groups,
and
so
I'd
like
to
maybe
do
a
deeper
dive
in
the
future
into
how
into
how
these
were
sort
of
organized
and
oriented
and-
and
hopefully
we
can
get
some
more
folks
to
weigh
in
on
that.
F
But
it
was
just
something
that
that
you
know
flagged.
You
know
flied,
my
eye
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
attention.
E
Thank
you
jorge
further
discussion
from
colleagues.
E
I
Get
a
little
more
detail
about
what
the
process
is,
so,
let's
go
to
council
then
council
will
adopt
it
and
then
public
hearing
and
further
discussion.
When
do
we
expect
a
final
vote.
L
Yeah
they're
they're
you're
right,
so
I
think,
there's
two
steps
here
and
I
think
it
will
take
step.
One
is
as
a
resolution
on
whenever
council
feels
ready
that
says
what
direction
you
want
to
go
with
this,
and
the
next
step,
as
you
said,
is
a
local
law
that
will
actually
amend
the
city
charter
to
implement
the
new
maps.
If
council
is
going
in
the
direction
that
the
working
group
recommendation
suggests,
it
does
not
implicate
a
referendum
and
therefore
the
timeline
is
reasonably
flexible.
L
I
anticipate
that
it
would
take
two
to
three
months:
I'm
hoping
for
two
to
have
the
local
law.
I'm
ready
the
final
local
law
ready
for
council,
which
would
be
in
ample
time
for
the
upcoming
cycle.
If
it's
not
going
to
referendum,
there's
no
problem
there.
L
L
Well,
yeah,
I
think
you'd
want
to
are
you
compelled
to?
L
I
guess,
that's
a
chat
if
council
is
looking
at
taking
an
extremely
long
time,
you
know
you
know
past
past
early
fall,
I
think
then
we
should
have
a
chat
with
the
board
of
elections
and
and
then
I
have
a
little
more
insight
on
that.
I
I
think
it
would
be
wise
to
actually
take
a
final
action
by
sometime
in
the
fall.
At
least
I
don't
know
if
julie,
if
you
have
any
recollections
around
previous
redistricting
cycles
and
any
deadlines
that
those
hit.
M
No,
I
mean,
I
think,
we're
on
pace
right
now
to
do
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
I'm
I'm
not
familiar
with
any
time
that
we've
elongated
the
process
so
much
as
to
come
up
close
to
when
it
was
petition
carrying
time
for
the
upcoming
election
that
this
would
be
in
effect
for.
A
Seeing
them
go
ahead
and
call
for
a
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
resolution,
3.2
3.4
excuse
me.
A
All
right,
our
last
item,
under
this
section
3.5
a
local
law
authorizing
the
use
of
video
conferencing
for
meetings
of
public
bodies.
J
I
was
off
to
a
running
start
sure:
item
three:
five
3.5
government
administration,
human
resources
and
policy,
a
local
law
authorizing
the
use
of
video
conferencing
for
meetings
of
public
bodies,
whereas
part
ww
of
chapter
56,
of
the
laws
of
2022,
amended
the
public
officers
law
to
permit
the
use
of
video
conferencing
by
public
bodies
under
certain
circumstances,
and
whereas
the
city
has
employed
video
conferencing
as
authorized
by
executive
order
and
statute
throughout
the
course,
the
kova
19
pandemic,
and
found
that
video
conferencing
has
positively
impacted
public
access
and
participation
in
public
meetings,
reduced
burdens
on
city
staff
and
increased
transparency
in
the
important
work
of
the
city's
various
public
bodies
and
whereas
the
city
desires
to
adopt
video
conferencing
procedures
consistent
with
sections
103
and
103a
of
the
public
officer's
law.
J
On
behalf
of
all
of
its
public
bodies.
Now,
therefore,
being
enacted
by
the
common
council
of
the
city
of
ithaca
as
follows:
local
law
number,
2022,
section,
1,
legislative
fund,
findings,
intent
and
purpose.
The
common
council
makes
the
following
findings:
video
conference,
one
video
conferencing,
is
a
valuable
tool
that
has
the
potential
to
increase
public
engagement
with
city
processes,
reduce
burdens
on
city
staff
and
provide
flexibility
for
members
of
public
bodies
in
the
event
that
extraordinary
circumstances
or
emergencies
prevent
in-person
attendance
of
public
meetings.
J
Two
the
city
has
employed
video
conferencing
throughout
the
coca-19
pandemic
and
developed
the
processes
and
expertise
to
implement
its
use
on
an
ongoing
basis.
Three
the
city
has
and
and
the
public
will
benefit
from
the
continued
availability
of
video
conferencing
for
future
meetings
of
public
bodies
in
accordance
with
the
procedures
adopted
in
this
local
law
based
upon
the
above
findings.
The
intent
and
purpose
of
this
local
law
is
to
authorize
all
public
bodies
of
the
city,
to
use
video
conferencing
for
public
meetings
and
to
promulgate
a
uniform
set
of
written
procedures
governing
video
conferencing.
J
That
is
consistent
with
sections
103
and
103a
of
the
public
officers
law.
Section
two
video
conferencing
and
remote
attendance
for
local
public
bodies,
a
each
and
every
public
body
is
authorized,
but
not
required
to
use
video
conferencing
to
conduct
its
business
as
permitted
by
sections
103
and
103a
of
the
public
officers
law
and
pursuant
to
the
requirements
of
this
local
law
b.

J
A
You
and
I'll
just
say
to
kind
of
preface
our
conversation.
I
know
ari
and
julie
are
both
here.
To
answer
questions
I
would
also
say
you
know
recall
this:
is
a
local
laws
had
to
be
laid
on
the
table
in
accordance
with
the
the
guidelines?
So
you
know
we
could?
A
The
group
could
very
well
pass
this
on,
even
if
there
are
changes
that
we
decide.
We
would
like
to
make
and
then
could
amend
this
law
following
its
initial
passage,
correct,
ari.
L
L
And,
and
in
fact,
if
the
committee
finds
that
it
wants
to
make
amendments,
I
think
you
should
feel
free
to
go
ahead
and
do
so,
but,
as
robert
suggesting
I
think
it
would
be
very
beneficial
for
you
to
also
vote
an
unamended
version
of
this
on
the
council
as
well,
so
that
on
the
unamended
version
is,
will
will
have
aged
sufficiently
because
we
waited
on
the
table
in
advance
of
this
meeting
that
it
can
be
adopted
at
the
upcoming
council
meeting
and
therefore
permit
hybrid
meetings
as
of
june
9th.
L
The
amended
version,
of
course,
has
not
been
laid
on
the
table
yet
because
we
don't
know
what
amendments
will
have
for
us
and
therefore
wouldn't
be
able
to
take
effect
until
after
the
july
common
council
meeting,
which
is
why
you'll
want
that
unamended
version,
but
it
certainly
could
and
so
effective
after
the
july
common
council
meeting,
they
could
supersede
the
initial
version
that
had
been
passed
and
go
exactly
where
the
committee
wants
to
go.
L
Lastly,
I'll
note
I
refer
to
that
june
9,
I
do
believe
will
be
able
to
narrowly
get
there,
but
I
do
want
to
note
that
it
will
be
a
tight
squeeze
actually
even
with
the
version
that
was
laid
on
the
table
to
get
us
so
for
for
us
and
especially
julie,
to
be
able
to
jump
through
the
relevant
hoops
after
the
june
1st
council
meeting
to
get
the
local
law
in
effect
on
time.
So
I
do
want
all
of
us
to
be
cognizant
of
the
challenges
there
as
well.
L
Yeah
sure
so
I
think
all
of
us
are
aware,
but
also
for
members
of
the
public,
the
existing
new
york
state
laws
that
permit
these
fully
remote
meetings
to
be
occurring
as
public
meetings
expire
as
of
the
beginning
of
june
9th.
L
And
what
we
don't
know
is
whether
new
york
state
will
end
up
having
a
state
of
emergency
declared
that
will
continue
to
authorize
fully
remote
meetings
for
some
period
of
time
in
there.
But
if
that
state
of
emergency
is
not
in
effect,
then,
as
you
know,
this
local
law
is
is
the
furthest.
Frankly,
that
new
york
state
law
will
allow
municipalities
in
new
york
to
go
in
the
way
of
holding
remote
meetings,
and
it
will
no
longer
be
fully
remote,
absent
that
state
of
emergency,
rather
a
majority
of
the
body.
L
So,
for
example,
a
majority
of
this
committee
being
three
members,
because
it's
a
five
member
committee
would
need
to
be
present
in
person
in
a
location
or
locations
that
are
physically
available
for
public
attendance
and
then
additional
members
of
the
body
who
satisfy
the
extraordinary
circumstances.
Requirements
set
out
in
state
law
could
then
attend
remotely.
L
We've
included
in
the
agenda
packet
as
you've,
probably
seen
right
after
the
local
law,
a
memo
that
we
put
together
addressing
what
new
york
state
law
appears
to
mean
by
extraordinary
circumstances
and
what
sorts
of
circumstances
would
qualify
for
a
member
of
council
or
the
planning
board
or
the
zoning
board,
or
whatever
public
body
they
might
be
talking
about
to
attend
remotely
and
which
ones
I
might
not
qualify.
L
So
that
is
there
and
lastly,
I'll
note,
as
jeffrey
just
expertly
read
us
through
there's
a
lot
in
this
local
law.
The
core
elements
of
the
local
law
are
not
really
negotiable
under
state
law,
that's
just
dictated
by
state
law.
I
do
want
to
note,
however,
that
there
are
additional
elements
that
we
tried
to
sort
of
fill
in
some
blanks
around
some
areas,
so
that
we
would
have
a
clear
policy
for
everyone
to
follow
that
that
could
be
amended.
L
So
if
there
are
particular
areas
that
council
has
concerns
around,
let
us
know
what
those
are,
so
we
can
talk
about
them
and
figure
out
which
ones
can
be
changed
and
which
ones
can't.
A
Thanks
so
much
ari,
I
just
have
two.
What
I
hope
are
minor
questions,
one
I
I
imagine
it
is
under
under
b
subsection
12.
It
is
sufficient
for
the
city's
website
to
serve
as
the
official
website
for
any
of
the
public
bodies
in
question.
A
And
then
the
I
would
just
wonder
if,
for
our
and
the
public's
benefit,
you
could
maybe
help
interpret
2c
a
little
bit
more
for
us.
I'm
reading
that,
as
the
local
law
of
course
doesn't
apply
in
a
state
of
emergence,
a
state
of
disaster
emergency
is:
is
there
a
way
so,
like
my
presumption
would
be
state
of
emergency?
Could
very
well
look
like
it
has
for
the
last
several
years
right
and
we're
then
able
to
meet
fully
remotely.
A
One
could
also
imagine
a
scenario
where,
where
maybe
one
couldn't
but
there's
there's
a
state
of
emergency
where
we're
not
allowed
to
do
remote
meetings
and
then
have
we
prevented
ourselves
from
from
utilizing
this
mechanism
or
are
we
like?
Is
there
essentially
like
a
way
to
opt
back
into
it
under
those
conditions,
or
is
the
question
moot.
L
I'm
not
positive,
I
followed
the
question,
but
let
me
attempt
to
answer
and
see
if
I'm
answering
the
right
question,
you
tell
me
if
I'm
not
there,
the
new
york
state
law
on
this
subject
now
requires
that,
in
order
to
hold
a
fully
remote
meeting,
two
things
be
true:
one
is
there
has
to
be
a
disaster
state
of
emergency
state
disaster
or
emergency,
and
the
second
is
that
we,
the
city,
the
public
body,
concludes
that
the
type
the
reason
for
that
declaration
of
emergency
is
a
reason
that
would
justify
meeting
remotely.
L
So
if
the
reason-
and
so
so
I
mean
you
can
imagine
some
emergencies
where
maybe
it
doesn't
have
much
to
do
with
the
common
council
meeting
in
person,
but
on
the
other
hand,
if
this
all
the
streets
are
flooded,
that
would
seem
like
a
pretty
good
reason
to
say.
Well,
people
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
navigate
to
a
location
together,
and
so
they
can
meet
remotely
and
if
there's
a
emergency
declaration
around
that,
that
would
count
too
right.
So
I
does
that
answer
your
question.
100.
L
I
I
The
main
risk
being
that
decisions
made
by
said
body
would
could
be
validated,
and
you
know
not
that
I'm
looking
to
to
push
the
limits
of
the
law
here,
but
I'm
curious,
do
you
think,
that's
more
applicable
to
the
quasi-judicial
bodies
like
bpw
and
the
planning
board
versus,
say
an
advisory
commission
where
they,
they
really,
you
know,
pass
along
ideas
to
us
and
their
decisions
don't
actually
have
any
legal
weight.
As
far
as
I
understand
it,.
L
There's
no
doubt
that
these
rules
definitely
need
to
be
fully
followed
by
the
quasi-judicials
to
your
to
your
point,
because
they
do
make
binding
decisions
and
those
binding
decisions
sometimes
are
subject
to
challenge.
I
mean
the
vza
sometimes
ends
up.
You
know
that
ends
up
being
litigation
over
the
determinations
that
the
vca
makes
as
an
example.
L
This
needs
to
be
fully
followed
by
the
quasi
judicials,
but
your
question
is
about
the
more
advisory
bodies.
L
L
State
law
there
is,
there
are
no.
There
aren't
different
gradations
of
open
meetings,
law
requirement
for
different
types
of
public
bodies
that
are
subject
to
the
open
meetings
law.
It
is
true
that
there
are
public
bodies
that
excuse
me
that
there
are
groups
of
people
working
on
things
in
connection
with
city
government
who
do
not
qualify
as
a
public
audio
under
the
open
meetings
law.
L
And-
and
that
can
happen
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
including
you
know,
it
could
be
a
group
of
staff
who
meet
every
week
to
work
on
a
particular
project
that
they're
working
on
together.
What
have
you?
There
are
different
forms
of
groups
that
certainly
are
not
subject
to
the
open
meetings
law,
in
which
case
none
of
this
has
anything
to
do
with
their
meetings
at
all
right.
L
But
it
is
also
very
clear
under
new
york
state
law
that
a
whole
variety
of
the
advisory
bodies
that
the
city
of
ithaca
maintains
our
commission
structure,
for
example,
are
absolutely
subject
to
the
open
meetings
law,
which
brings
me
back
to
my
statement
that
their
new
york
state
law
offers
no
gradations
of
applicability
of
the
open
meetings
law.
And
so
I
don't.
J
Yeah,
I
just
have
a
question.
You
know
the
language
that
interests
me
is
this
reduced
burdens
on
city
staff
is
sort
of
the
observation
that
we
made
throughout
this
process
of
having
gone
remote
in
the
first
place-
and
I
guess
what's
unclear
to
me-
is
whether
or
not
the
hybrid
model
will
still
provide
any
reduced
burden
on
staff
or,
if
it's
going
to,
you
know
immediately
because
functionally
we're
having
meetings
now
in
in
live
meetings
in
person,
so
that
obviously
has
a
cost
attached
to
it.
J
You
know
you've
got
to
have
staff
available
security,
for
example,
so
just
curious,
if
there's
any
data,
you
know
that
kind
of
offers
us
a
comparative
analysis
point
for
you
know
just
what
was
the
utility
of
this
on
a
cost
basis
on
a
time
basis
for
that
staff,
because
I
think
you
know
it's
a
conversation
that
should
continue
and
perhaps
there's
you
know
a
way
to
pressure
for
the
state
for
more
flexibility
on
this
going
forward.
L
I'm
not
sure
who's
best.
To
answer
that,
I
can
say
on
on
my
behalf
that
I'm
not
aware
of
any
sort
of
data
that's
been
formally
gathered
on
the
staff
burdens
of
in-person
versus
remote
meetings.
I
am
certainly
aware
of,
and
julie
can
probably
speak
best
to
it.
The
additional
staff
elements
that
absolutely.
L
L
And
I
think
that's
a
relevant
conversation,
but
I
can
also
say-
and
I
know
a
lot
of
staff
who
feel
this
way-
that
it
definitely
has
been
useful
for
the
wide
array
of
staff
who
might
need
to
attend
a
small
portion
of
one
of
the
many
public
meetings
that
the
city's
public
bodies
hold
to
be
able
to
do
that
remotely.
Rather
than
sitting
in
council
chambers.
For
what
could
be
three
hours
for
a
two-minute
conversation.
L
Other
work
done
sitting
at
their
desk
somewhere
or
putting
their
kids
to
bed
or
eating
some
dinner
or
any
number
of
other
things
right.
So
those
are
the
main
comments
that
I
have,
but
julia,
I'm
sure
can
speak
more
to
the
matter
of
running
the
remote
meetings
in
hybrid.
M
Yeah,
I
agree
with
ari
that
for
the
greater
good
that
that
there
is
a
benefit
to
staff
and
for
all
the
reasons
that
ari
just
enumerated,
I
will
tell
you
it's
my
personal
opinion
that
hybrid
meetings
are
much
more
staff
intensive
than
remote
meetings
or
in-person
meetings,
because
now
we
have
to
not
only
manage
the
remote
and
technical
aspects
of
a
meeting,
but
we
need
to
manage
the
in-person
aspects
of
the
meeting
take
minutes
and
we
also
have
some
level
of
room
management.
M
I
guess
we're
trying
still
to
keep
numbers
down
in
council
chambers
we're
trying
to
follow
social
distancing
guidelines,
not
as
strict
as
the
beginning
of
covid.
You
know
the
six
feet,
but
we
tried
to
narrow
it
to
three
feet
to
help
people
feel
more
comfortable
in
the
room,
but
in
order
to
do
that
there
is
an
element
of
management
getting
people
cycled
through.
If
there's
large
crowds
in
the
room,
it
may
require
additional
security
to
help
us
cue
people
downstairs
and
send
them
up
and
then
get
people
back
down
and
and
cycle
through.
M
I
personally
also
think
that
the
majority
people
have
really
embraced
remote
meetings.
I
think
a
lot
of
our
public
speakers
will
continue
to
speak
remotely
and
I
think
a
lot
of
our
presenters
may
prefer
to
present
remotely.
So
you
know
now
we're
just
kind
of
waiting
to
see
how
all
this
will
play
out.
No
one's
really
sure.
So
it
could
be
a
matter
that
we're
actually
going
to
need
more
staff
for
this
hybrid
model,
but
it
you
know
that
may
not
pan
out
either
we're
preparing
for
the
worst
and
hoping
for
the
best.
I
Just
a
quick
comment,
too,
is
that
we
may
find
that
we
need
more
investments
in
equipment
to
make
it
a
first-class
experience
for
the
people
in
the
room
and
to
the
public.
You
know
we
often
we've
all
had
people,
that's
one
time
or
another
to
me,
texting
us
to
speaking
to
the
microphone,
because
they
can't
hear
a
damn
thing.
We're
saying
it'll
get
all
the
harder
when
we're
trying
to
juggle
that,
and
so
you
know,
julie
always
does,
but
I'm
sure
you
know,
I
encourage
you
to
come
forward
with
ideas.
I
J
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
thank
ari
and
julie
for
for
their
answers
before,
but
you
know
just
also
wanted
to
stress,
though
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
just
recognize
we're
on
the
vanguard
of
a
brand
new
experiment
and
that,
if
we
can
keep,
you
know,
make
a
point
to
take
down
some
data
get
a
sense
of
what
the
cost
is
and
how
costs
escalate
throughout
this
period.
J
I
think
that
would
be
enormously
helpful
just
to
understand
you
know
we
have
this
technology
and,
like
we
said
you
know,
we've
really
perfected
its
usage.
I
don't
think
that
I
think
we
can.
You
know,
put
pressure
on
the
state
to
to
be
more
flexible,
potentially
in
the
future,
if
it,
if
it
suits
us
and
is
economical.
A
All
right.
Moving
on
to
item
4.1
request
to
increase
funding
for
capital
project
906
for
enterprise-wide
permitting
software
will
someone
please
move.
I
Crest,
increased
capital
or
sorry
funding
for
capital
project
96
for
enterprise
wide
permitting
software,
whereas
department
of
pit
submitted
a
capital
project
proposal
which
was
approved
as
part
of
the
2022
city
of
ethical
budget
amount
of
100
dollars
to
purchase
open,
go
software
for
the
purpose
of
enterprise-wide
permitting.
I
Whereas
several
software
demonstrations
have
been
conducted
over
the
past
year,
which
includes
staff
from
department
of
planning,
building
and
economic
development,
ifd
ipd
dpw
and
the
department
of
pid.
And
whereas
each
of
the
aforementioned
departments
have
identified
multiple
permitting
processes,
they
believe
would
become
more
efficient,
collaborative
and
transparent.
I
Projected
capital
project
cost
by
63
525,
and
the
annual
subscription
costs
exceed
projected
costs
by
42.
000
now,
therefore
be
resolved,
that
capital
project
906
be
amended
by
an
amount
not
to
exceed
sixty
three
thousand
five
hundred
twenty
five
dollars
for
a
total
project.
Authorization
of
one
hundred
sixty
two
thousand
five:
twenty
five
for
the
procurement
of
open,
gov
software
and
related
services
through
a
cooperative
purchasing
agreement
and
be
it
for
the
results
that
funds
necessary
for
said
software
pr
project
and
then
be
allocated
for
resisting
our
funds.
A
Discussion
on
this
item,
I'll
also
note
that
I
believe
julie
is
able
to
answer
questions
julie.
Is
there
any
preparatory
comments,
you'd
like
to
add.
M
I'll
just
tell
you
that
you
know
we
started
looking
at
software
early
in
2021,
honestly,
I
was
selfishly
doing
it
because
I
needed
a
better
platform
for
special
event
permitting,
but
once
we
started
looking
at
the
options
available
to
us,
it
quickly
became
clear
that
we
have
a
huge
opportunity
right
now
to
implement
probably
one
of
our
first
enterprise-wide
processes.
M
M
I
think
that
it
will
also
make
some
of
our
processes
more
transparent,
as
everybody
can
see
what
stage
each
permitting
process
is
in
who
needs
to,
you
know,
add
something
or
prove
something
or
or
whatever
I
have
to
say
in
my
33
years,
for
the
city.
This
is
the
project
I'm
most
excited
about,
because
I
believe
this
is
the
one
that
will
start
tying
us
together
as
an
organization
instead
of
operating
separately
as
as
12
different
departments.
M
So
I
am
really
looking
for
your
support
on
this,
as
I
believe
all
the
departments
involved
are
everybody's
very
excited
about
this
and
we're
really
hoping
that
that
we
do
get
your
support
and
jeff
I'll.
Maybe
preempt
one
of
your
questions
that
you
asked
chief
jolie
about
lexapol
and
and
all
of
that
we
actually
started
looking
at
a
different
software
product
called
my
government
online,
which
was
developed
by
an
economic
development
district
in
louisiana
after
hurricane
katrina,
and
we
started
doing
demonstrations
looking
at
that.
M
The
costs
were
unbelievably
low
because
they
were
a
not-for-profit
making
entity
and
we
thought
we
could
do
what
we
needed
to
do
with
special
event.
Processing
permit
processing
with
that
software,
but
as
more
departments
started
getting
involved
and
started,
seeing
the
opportunities
that
were
ahead
of
us
chief
parsons,
actually
brought
to
our
attention
that
the
town
of
ithaca
was
was
looking
at
open,
gov
and
was
moving
forward
with
that.
When
we
looked
at
their
software,
it
was
so
much
more
feature-rich
than
what
we
were
originally
looking
at.
M
I
you
know
everybody
kind
of
just
it
was
love
at
first
sight
and
and
the
opportunities
that
were
afforded
to
us.
Not
only
will
we
be
collaborating
better
within
our
own
organization,
but
the
ability
to
collaborate
for
with
contractors
and
all
that
who
do
business
in
both
the
town
of
ithaca
and
the
city
of
ithaca.
They
can
have
a
single
set
of
logging
credentials
and
they
can
see
their
projects
in
both
municipalities,
and
that
also,
I
think,
is
one
of
one
of
our
well.
M
Not
we
do
a
lot
of
shared
services,
so
I
won't
say
that,
but
this
is
also
another
exciting
opportunity
for
not
exactly
a
shared
service,
but
something
similar.
E
Thanks
very
much
julie,
discussion
from
colleagues.
E
M
The
163
dollars
is
the
is
a
one-time.
Get
us
up
help
us
build
all
of
these
permit
processes,
but
there
is
an
annual
subscription
cost
of
right
around
91
000,
which
makes
this
project.
Why
I
worked
so
hard
on
it?
Was
it's
not
economically
feasible
for
an
individual
department
to
pursue
or
one
or
two,
but
when
we
have
multiple
city
departments,
and
I
think
once
we
once
we
start
with
the
departments
that
we
have
involved
right
now
and
we
become
familiar
with
the
product
and
we
know
what
it
can
do
at
you
know.
M
Opengov's
goal
is
to
train
us
train
the
trainer
model
so
that
we
can
then
develop
our
own
permit
applications
and
all
that.
I
think
that
we
will
be
able
to
bring
on
additional
city
departments
as
well
with
different
permitting
processes
so
for
for
ninety
one
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
multiple
city
departments.
I
don't
think
that's
that
bad.
M
If
you
know,
especially
if
you
looked
at
lexapol
and
all
of
these
other
department,
specific
software
programs
that
that
we
already
have
engaged
and
are
paying
for
it-
will
allow
us
perhaps
to
get
rid
of
some
of
those
legacy
products
and
you
know,
consolidate
into
opengo-
that's
going
to
take
time.
That's
not
going
to
be
right
away.
I
Yeah,
I
mean
you
know
free
up
last
half
time
yeah,
so
you
mentioned
facade,
which
is
my
next
question.
Will
we
be
able
to?
Is
it
just
permitting
or
will
we
be
able
to
consolidate
some
of
the
various
services
we
currently
use
for
paying
water
bills
and
parking
tickets
and
taxes
and
stuff.
M
It's
primarily
a
permitting
software,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
give
too
many
promises,
because
I
know
my
office
right
now
is
in
a
situation
where
we're
sharing
software
with
the.
If
to
youth
bureau,
which
is
a
nice
software
package.
But
it
is
designed
for
recreation
programming,
not
for
dog
licenses
or
you
know,
accessible
parking
permits
and
the
things
that
we're
forcing
it
to
use.
But
it
does
have
a
point
of
sale
system.
One
of
the
I
think
things
that
attracts
the
building
department.
M
The
most
is
that
people
can
pay
online
themselves,
and
so
you
save
staff
time
in
processing
all
these
payments
and
and
all
that
it
may
be
able
to
include
things
like
pavilion,
reservations
and
and
different
things
like
that,
as
we
get
dig
a
little
deeper
into
it
and
see
what
it's
capable
of.
But
you
know
it's
never
going
to
replace
some
unis
or
you
know
any
of
those
other
type,
software
programs
that
we
have
and
it
it's
not
going
to
do.
M
The
policies
that
lexicals
going
to
do
and-
and
you
know,
they'll-
do
some
of
the
things
that
the
fire
department
software
does
but
not
its
work
orders,
and
you
know
some
of
those
things
but
but
we'll
know
more
as
we
get
more
familiar
with
it
too.
A
All
right
we'll
go
to
4.2.
G
G
Ahead:
yeah,
okay,
okay,
4.2
access
oversight,
committee
budget
amendment,
whereas

A
By
jorge
and
jorge,
the
art
liaison
to
this
body
is
here
to
provide
some
preparatory
comments
for
this
resolution.
F
Yeah,
this
is
pretty
standard,
straightforward
stuff.
In
regards
to
our
access
oversight
committee,
things
are
going
pretty
well
over
there.
This
is
just
approval
for
some
stuff
with
the
website,
along
with
general
other
things.
For
instance,
some
of
the
cameras
need
to
be
repaired
or
or
replaced
some
issues
specifically
with
like
the
menu
buttons
or
the
power
buttons.
Some
of
the
stuff
is
a
little
bit
older.
F
Some
of
that
equipment
is
a
little
bit
on
the
older
side,
but
this
is
just
pretty
standard
approval
for
for
budget
that
will
help.
You
know,
get
us
into
the
21st
century,
hopefully,
but
with
that
being
said,
I
can.
I
can
answer
any
any
specifics.
If
anyone
has.
A
Thanks
all
right
questions,
comments
from
colleagues.
E
Poor
dachshund
excuse
me.
I
F
I
believe
so,
and
I
believe
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
talking
about
doing
a
project
that
we
were
talking
a
couple
months
ago
was
potentially
looking
into
seeing.
If
somebody
could
help
us
with
a
twitch,
I
believe
to
help
us
with
some
of
our
some
of
our
our
oversight.
This
is
something
that
we
were
you
know
discussing,
and
I
don't
know
if
anything's
been
been
concrete.
F
Yet
I
hope
I
haven't,
you
know
blown
the
blown
the
case
wide
open,
but
but
yeah
something
are
is
in
the
process,
and
you
know
it's.
It's
been
really
good
stuff
and
the
folks
who
are
on
that
board
are
really.
You
know,
doing
a
thankless
job,
doing
a
lot
of
work
for
a
very
public,
very
valuable
public,
good
necessity.
E
Thank
you
further
comments
or
questions.
A
All
right,
let's
call
for
a
vote,
then
all
those
in
favor
of
resolution
4.2.

A
Seconded
by
george
and
there's
a
lot
of
folks
here
to
speak
to
this,
I
think
I'm
listed
as
the
presenter.
This
is
a
great
grant
opportunity
that
I
emailed
council
about
a
couple
weeks
ago
talked
with
senior
staff
about.
Essentially
you
know
it's
one
of
the
things
it's
in
parallel
to
sort
of,
I
think
some
of
our
broader
public
safety
conversations.
This
is
federal
monies
that
are
available
to
law
enforcement
agencies
for
exploring
the
types
of
opportunities
discussed
in
this
resolution.
A
This
is
authorization
of
a
of
a
grant
to
of
a
grant
application
essentially
and
and
chief.
I
know
this
is
something
we've
spoken
about
and
my
mind
training.
The
department
is
also
supportive
of
of
this.
F
Firstly,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
for
looking
into
this
robert
and
for
finding
for
helping
find
us
find
us
this
grant.
You
truly
are
a
wiz
when
it
comes
to
this
type
of
stuff,
and
I
appreciate
your
your
help
with
that,
and
I
think
this
is
something
very
wonderful.
F
I'm
going
to
invoke
something
that
was
that
was
joked
about
at
our
previous
comment,
council
and
repeat
one
of
my
famous
idioms
that
we
should
chew,
bubble,
gum
and
walk
at
the
same
time
when
we
are
approaching
public
safety
and
how
to
reimagine
it-
and
I
think
this
passing
this
and
working
towards
doing
this
is
living
that
that
sort
of
that
you
know
value,
and
so
I'm
100
in
support
of
this,
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
we
can
start
to
reimagine
public
safety
as
we
move
towards
adopting
a
comprehensive
plan.
G
A
That's
correct,
that's
correct
george!
This
is
350
000
with
zero
city
match
required.
I
would
also
just
note
for
council,
on
the
public's
benefit,
that
one
of
the
conditions
of
this
award
is.
It
can
be
spent
on
many
things.
Training
recruiting
on
arm
crisis
of
engineering
uniformed
personnel
are
not
an
allowable
cost
on
this
award,
so
this
would
go
for
training.
You
know
supplies
and
equipment.
You
know
these
new
crisis
intervention
individuals,
but
that
funding
is
restricted
and
cannot
be
used
for
for
for
uniform
personnel.
A
Yes,
sorry,
the
salary,
yes,
the
salary
is
not
allowed.
Yes,
training.
You
know
we
would
be
free
to
design
how
that
training
would
be
applied
in
in
the
grant
in
the
grant
process.
H
Chief,
please
sure
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
a
little
bit,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
taking
the
lead
finding
this.
I
think
this
is
a
great
opportunity,
really
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
we'll
get
the
full
amount
of
the
grant
we
can
implement
some
of
this.
I
think
this
aligns
very
well
with
things
have
identified
by
the
community
as
needs
as
well
as
by
the
department.
H
E
Just
just
read
the
federal
registry
for
further
discussion.
A
A
Next
is
four
point.
Well
with
next
we
have
a
series
of
bond
approvals,

Now,
therefore
be

by

All

libya
of
such
bonds
and
bond
anticipation
notes
may
be
contested
only
if
such
obligations
are
authorized
for
an
object.
The
purpose
which
says
city
is
not
authorized
to
spend
the
money,
two
provisions
of
law,
which
should
be
complied
with
at
the
date
of
publication
or
the
resolution
are
not
substantially
complied
with.
I
Three
such
obligations
are
authorized
in
violation
of
the
provisions
of
the
constitution.
Section
nine
resolutions
will
constitute
a
statement
of
official
intent
for
purposes
of
treasury
regulations,
section
1.150-2
and
section
10.
This
resolution,
which
they
expect
immediately,
should
be
published
in
full
or
summary
form.
It's
like
the
journal,
the
official
newspaper,
together
with
the
notice
of
the
city
clerk
and
substantially
performed
by
section
81
of
local
finance
law,
and
I
move
as
written,
not
as
I
speedily
mentor.
A
Thank
you
ducks,
and
can
I
have
a
second
second
to
buy
jorge
steve
any
predatory
comments.
You'd
like.
B
Just
to
note
that
these
authorizations
allow
us
to
go
out
and
borrow
the
funds
to
pay
for
the
projects.
That
and
again
all
these
projects
were
previously
approved
by
council
at
some
point
generally,
and
these
all
all
four
of
these
projects
were
approved
in
2022,
but
generally
it's
any
projects
that
we
are
in
need
of
authorization
for
funding.
B
So
it
just
allows
us
to
borrow
the
funds,
and
we
generally
do
this
twice
a
year
in
january
and
then
again
in
in
june
or
july,
depending
on
the
you
know,
exact
timing,
but
again
you'll
see
these
things
come
through.
I
think
in
january
they
came
through
and
again
in
june
or
july.
You'll
see
them
come
through
on
an
annual
basis,
as
we
try
to
pay
for
all
the
projects
that
we
can't
afford
through
a
normal
cash
payment.
I
I
actually
wonder
if
I
could
move
college
f,
stuart
ave
and
east
mlk
all
together.
A
A
George.
Are
you
voting
on
this?
Can
you
hear
me
okay,
great
okay,
so
that
passes
unanimously?
Thank
you
ducks,
and
would
you
like
to
move.
I
Yes,
similarly
stated
resolutions
for
a
million
dollars
for
college
f,
300
000
for
east
mlk
and
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
for
the
design
of
stewardev.
I
A
I
have
second
of
a
second
for
that
motion
seconded
by
jeff.
A
Would
probably
say
the
same
thing
he
just
said
about
the
first
one.
Any
questions
on
any
of
these.
I
Oh,
can
I
ask
what's
the
interest
rate
situation
looking
like.
B
Yeah,
so
the
certainly
the
interest
rate
market
is
currently
in
flux,
a
little
bit
with
everything
going
on.
You
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
activity
relating
to
inflation
and
other
things
are
putting
pressure
on
on
the
rates,
so
the
rates
are
beginning
to
come
up
for
sure.
We
still
believe
that
we
will
get
pretty
low
rates
at
this
point,
because
we're
just
now
entering
the
phase
where
the
the
interest
rates
are.
They
are
increasing.
B
B
So,
but
we
have
over
the
past
several
years,
we've
been
in
historically
low
interest
rate
markets,
so
we've
been
able
to
really
see
interest
rates
well
below
one
percent,
in
this
case,
we'll
probably
see
interest
rates
between
one
and
one
and
a
half
percent
for
these
for
these
short-term
rates,
but
they
are
definitely
increasing
and
we'll
have
to
look
at
that
as
we
move
forward.
If
the
current
environment
continues,
as
it
is.
B
F
No
questions
but
very
excited
to
see
some
good
developments
happening
in
my
in
a
lot
of
my
ward,
and
so
thanks
and
to
you
guys
for
helping
out
with
that.
G
G
A
All
right
I'll
call
for
a
vote
on
this
motion.
All
those
in
favor
of
these
resolutions.
A
Steve
I'll
remind
colleagues
we
added
two
items
to
the
agenda
at
the
beginning
of
this
4.8
will
be
emergency
repair
authorization
for
ipd
hvac
system.
You
have
this
in
your
email
and
I
would
ask
for
someone
to
move.
Please.
E
J
Unless
there
is
an
emergency
situation
and
whereas
a
competitive
bid
process
will
extend
the
repair
time
from
five
weeks
to
eight
or
nine
weeks,
bringing
the
completion
date
to
early
august
and
increasing
the
cost
of
temporary
temporary
air
conditioning
unit.
Rentals.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
common
council
agrees
that
the
loss
of
air
conditioning
capability
at
the
ithaca
police
station
at
the
start
of
the
summer
constitutes
an
emergency
and
further
be
it
resolved.
A
A
By
duckson
questions,
comments
or
discussion,
I
don't
believe
mike
thorn's
with
us,
but
I
know
the
chief
is
here.
A
I
don't
know
if
you
can
hear
me
george.
That's
I'm
just
saying
that
out
loud.
Maybe
you
can
any
questions
from
other
colleagues.
H
H
I
do
know
the
dpw
plans
on
doing
a
lot
of
the
work
themselves,
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
all
of
it
or
if
there
is
additional
contract
or
work
that
will
be
included.
To
be
honest,
sorry.
A
I
was
just
gonna,
say
george,
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
We
can.
We
can
obtain
that
information.
Yes
before
before
wednesday's
meeting.
K
Sorry,
if
I
missed
this
information
but
steve,
do
you
know
how
much
money
is
in
that
emergency
repair
fund.
B
Yeah
we
currently
have
about
350
000
in
that
fund
plus
we
did
also
put
a
reserve
into
the
operating
funds
for
2022
of
150
000..
So
for
this
type
of
unanticipated
emergency
projects
for
city
facilities,
we
have
roughly
hundred
thousand
dollars
available.
Currently,
thank
you
sure.
A
And
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
Our
final
voting
item
this
evening
is
4.9
regret,
butchered
that
request
to
release
restricted
contingency
funding
for
community
justice
center,
and
you
will
also
find
this
item
in
your
email.
I
believe
steve
forwarded
us
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
Thank
you
very
much
steve.
J
Let's
see
common
council
request
for
least
restricted
contingency
funding
for
community
justice
center,
whereas
as
part
of
the
authorized
2022
city
budget,
307,
666
dollars
was
included
in
the
restricted
contingency
account
for
the
city
share
of
the
community
justice
center,
a
jointly
funded
city
county
collaborative
to
implement
the
reimagining
public
safety
plans
and
whereas
the
county
is
putting
together,
the
community,
justice,
staffing
and
program
funding
for
2022,
including
a
project
director
data
analyst
and
admin
assistant
and
related
fringe
benefits
and
other
program
expenses
at
annual
estimated
cost
of
two
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
nine
hundred
six
dollars
and
whereas
the
city
already
funded,
124
thousand
four
hundred
thirty
thousand
dollars,
which
was
transferred
from
unrestricted
contingency
in
2021
and
encumbered
to
2022
for
the
community
justice
center
city
share
of
funding.
J
But
this
amount
did
not
include
funding
for
a
shared
admin
assistant
position
and
whereas
the
estimated
additional
city
share,
funding
needed
need
for
2022
is
and
14
three
or
sorry.
Fourteen
thousand
twenty
three
dollars
for
the
admin
assistant
position.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolve
that
community
common
council
hereby
release
an
amount
not
to
exceed
fourteen
thousand
dollars.
Fourteen
thousand
twenty
three
dollars
an
account
from
account:
a1990,
restrict
contingency
and
transfer
it
to
account
a30205435.
A
By
jorge,
I
believe,
faith
is
here
to
provide
professional
comments.
C
I
can,
and
I'm
sure
steve
already
could
jump
into
or
laura
so
this
was
passed
in
the
budget,
but
it
was
put
into
a
restricted
contingency.
So
this
is
actually
releasing
this
funding
from
restricted
contingency.
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none
we'll
go
ahead
and
call
for
a
vote
for
4.9
all
those
in
favor.
A
That
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right,
so
we
have
a
couple
of
discussion
items
this
evening.
Hopefully
we
will
not
be
long,
but
we
have
three
items.
First
is
a
5.1
discussion
of
the
existing
gifting
and
solicitation
policy
and
perhaps
to
just
kind
of
start
our
discussion,
you
know
ari,
would
you
mind
providing
just
a
historical
summary
of
of
this
document
as
it
stands,
and
what
what
new
york
state
governs
and
is
unchangeable
versus
what
the
city
has
the
autonomy
to
change.
L
Sure
yeah
thank
you
and
I'll
I'll
start
absolutely
at
the
very
beginning
of
this
conversation.
Just
by
noting
that
I
was
surprised
to
discover
this
evening
because
I
already
know
what's
in
the
gifting
and
solicitation
policy,
so
I
didn't
go
and
look
at
it
that
is
it
not
in
this
actual
agenda
packet.
L
Unfortunately,
that
appears
to
be
the
case,
so
our
collective
apologies
that
it
didn't
make
it
into
the
agenda
packet.
I
will
next
start
by
saying
that
I
think
the
collective
goal
of
folks
who
brought
this
onto
the
agenda
was
simply
to
foster
awareness
and
conversation
around
it
and
to
see
if
council
had
any
concerns
or
feedback.
I'm
happy
to
provide
a
basic
summary.
Now,
if
that's
helpful,
I
I
will
also
I'm
having
heard
that
I
will
email
it
around
this
very
moment
to
all
of
you
in
case.
L
You
want
to
look
at
it
as
we
talk,
but,
lastly,
to
the
ext.
This
is
not
deeply
time
sensitive
and
to
be
it
was
for
discussion
only
in
any
event,
if
the
committee
would
prefer
to
save
this
for
a
future
month,
that's
another
option,
so
I'll
pause
there
for
a
moment
and
ask
what
what
you
all
and
then
especially
robert's
chair,
would
like
to
happen
in
light
of
the
way
that
pacquiao
is
put
together.
A
Thanks,
sorry,
I'll
I'll,
kick
it
to
colleagues,
I
I
do
have
a
copy
of
this
policy
and
know
it,
but
I
also
like
you
was
surprised
to
see,
wasn't
the
agenda
so
if
colleagues
want
to
take
a
moment
to
just
read
through
it
or
if
they
would
like
to
discuss,
as
already
said,
not
necessarily
time
sensitive,
just
something
that
probably
warrants
reevaluation
ari.
Can
you
just
for
for
context?
How
old
is
this
policy
and
what
is
best
practice
in
terms
of
often
they're
reviewed
and
updated.
L
Yeah
for
sure,
no
that's
helpful
yeah,
so
this
policy
was
formally
ordered
into
effect
for
all
city
staff
by
the
mayor
in
september
of
2016.
L
L
A
good
idea
for
for
council
to
at
least
have
had
a
brief
discussion
around
it
and
made
sure
that
it's
where
council
wants
things
at
this
point.
If,
additionally,
there
are
any
number
of
the
particular
elements
of
this
policy
that
could
be
adjusted.
So
if
council
would
prefer
adjustments
in
the
way
some
of
these
elements,
work
and
and
I'll
point
to
one
particular
area.
L
That
obviously
has
recent
relevance
on
council's
dealings,
which
is
the
types
of
donations
to
the
city
that
require
varying
levels
of
approval
in
order
for
the
city
to
accept
those
donations
and
that's
treated
right
at
the
beginning
of
the
policy,
that's
an
area
that
definitely
there's
there's
room
to
sort
of
to
shape,
if
council
would
prefer
different
procedures
for
how
the
city
accepts
donated
goods
services
money.
What
have
you?
Those
are
things
that
could
be
definitely
adjusted
in
this
policy.
So
the
policy
covers
three
basic
areas.
L
I
mean
in
fact
it
says
right
at
the
beginning.
It
has
three
questions.
Issues
governed
by
this
policy
are
one:
can
the
city
of
ithaca
adopt
donations,
slash
gifts
of
goods,
services
or
funds,
and
the
subtext
to
that
is?
How
can
the
city
accept
donations
of
things
to
the
city?
Question
number
two
is:
can
city
employees
or
officers
solicit
donations
or
gifts
on
behalf
of
the
city?
The
short
answer
to
that
is
no,
and
that
is
not
a
matter
to
robert's
question
of
a
few
minutes
ago.
L
New
york
state
law
does
not
permit
us
to
solicit
gifts.
We
can
accept
we,
the
city,
but
I
say
we
individuals.
This
is
not
about
individuals.
This
is
about
the
city
of
iraq
right.
The
city
of
ithaca
certainly
can
accept
donations
for
city
purposes.
It
cannot
solicit
those
donations,
which
is
different
than
applying
for
an
advertised
branch.
By
the
way
and,
and
then
question
number
three
is:
can
the
city
donate?
L
Can
the
city
donate
things
that
the
city
owns
to
outside
entities
and
the
short
answer
to
that
is:
no?
The
city
can
there's
a
clause
in
the
new
york
state
constitution.
Actually
that
prohibits
the
gifting
of
municipal
assets,
so
that
again
is
different
than
establishing
programs
that
we
fund.
Obviously,
the
city
does
regularly
and
certainly
can
but
actual
outright
gifting
of
city
assets
is
not
something
that's
constitutional
actually
in
new
york
state.
So
that's
the
three
basic
areas
that
are
governed
by
this,
as
you
can
hear.
L
The
second
and
third
topics
to
robert's
point
are
pretty
well
constrained
by
new
york,
state
law
and
actually
by
the
new
york
constitution
in
the
case
of
the
third
point,
but
the
first
point
in
terms
of
in
particular
how
the
city
goes
about,
can
go
about.
Accepting
donations
to
the
city.
L
Government
is
an
area
that
there's
a
fair
amount
that
can
be
adjusted
and
shaped,
and
I
would
imagine,
is
the
primary
area
that
the
committee
might
be
interested
in
discussing
now
or
at
a
future
meeting,
however,
is
best
for
you.
A
I
would
say
also
just
one
of
the
areas
where
this
may
be
important
to
just
think
about
how
things
might
change
forward-looking
in
the
eventuality
that
the
city
manager
referendum
passes
right.
The
the
question
of
you
know
the
role
of
the
mayor's
office
will
substantially
change,
and
you
know
I
think,
colleagues
we
would
want
to
have
a
sense
of
what
responsibility
should
be.
A
You
know
the
city
manager
level
versus
the
council
level
there,
but
yes
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
group
at
this
point.
If
there
are
questions
or
if
folks
want
to
take
a
little
bit
more
time
to
digest
jorge,
I
see
your
hand.
F
Hello,
I
thank
you
for
providing
this
with
us,
providing
this
with
us
all
right.
My
only
question
I
wanted
to
ask
just
want
to
make
sure
for
my
brief
skin
of
this,
that
my
understanding
of
the
situation
is
that
the
only
way
that
council
could
not
accept
a
accepted
donation
would
be
if
a
donation
was
made
to
multiple
departments
and
council
did
not
approve.
F
It
did
not
like
like
authorize
it,
as
opposed
to
just
the
mayor
when,
in
the
case
that
a
a
donation
is
made
to
a
singular
department.
Is
that
my
understanding,
or
am
I
missing
something
in
my
my
brief
skin.
L
Yeah
sure
I
do
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
question.
You
said
the
only
way
that
the
council
cannot
accept
a
donation,
so
it's
entirely
up
to
the
city
and
varying
elements
of
the
city,
depending
on
the
type
of
gift
under
this
policy,
whether
to
accept
so
the
city
can
decline,
a
gift
for
any
reason
whatsoever.
If
that's
the
question
is
that
the
question
that
you're
asking
yes.
F
L
Yeah
I
gotcha
also
yeah.
No,
the
answer
is
that
the
city
and
common
council
is
obviously
the
preeminent
body
to
act
on
the
city's
behalf.
Yeah
can
decline
acceptance
of
a
gift
for
any
reason
whatsoever.
The
city
is
never
compelled
to
accept
gifts
that
are
offered
to
it.
A
A
A
All
right,
5.2
is
also
not
in
the
agenda
packet,
but
that's
because
the
only
thing
I'm
really
doing
here
I
mentioned
briefly
at
the
end
of
our
last
very
long
ca
meeting
that
we
were
going
to
be
picking
up
a
project
that
council,
the
previous
council
had
been
working
on,
which
is
revising
the
rules
of
procedure,
and
I
have
a
copy
of
that
working
document.
That
was
given
me
by
rob
gearhart,
and
you
know
again.
A
These
are
just
kind
of
the
rules
that
govern
meetings
and
council
meetings
and
committee
meetings
and
the
use
of
letterhead,
and
things
like
that,
and
I'm
really
at
this
point
just
looking
for
perhaps
two
colleagues
who
might
be
willing
to
volunteer
to
take
the
lead
on
reviewing
the
edits
that
currently
exist
and
working
on
those
further
together
and
then
at
some
future
time,
presenting
some
an
updated
draft
of
the
rules
to
this
body
and
then
eventually,
counsel.
A
F
Please
yeah
question:
what
would
be
this
one?
What
would
be
the
timetable
on
this,
because
my
schedule
is
about
to
become
very
insane
for
the
next
couple
of
days
or
weeks
and
then
very
not
insane,
and
so,
depending
on
what
your,
what
this
sort
of
the
the
range
we're
talking
about
here,
I
could
potentially
be
interested
in
doing
so.
A
Well,
I
will
give
you
my
initial
reaction
and
then
I
will
actually.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
our
mayor
here.
So
I
will
ask
if
she
has
thoughts
as
well.
I
would
say
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
legislative
year
and
it
doesn't
seem
necessarily
urgent
to
change
how
we
have
rules
of
procedure,
midstream
and
in
the
same
way,
that
I
think
ari
answered
the
question
about
the
redistricting
report.
A
Earlier
we'd
probably
want
to
have
a
a
revised
draft
presented
to
committee
sometime
in
the
fall
so
that,
by
the
end
of
the
year,
council
could
move
to
adopt
the
new
rules
of
procedure.
But
mayor
lewis,
did
you
have
any
thoughts
on
this.
K
A
I
I
would
love
to
say
yes,
but
jorge
you
know
I've
got
I
I'm
I'm
not
volunteering
myself
as
much
as
I
love
rules.
I
I
I
have
enough
on
my
plate.
I
will
not
be
volunteering
myself
for
this
project,
but
I
will
happily
accept
your
your
nominating
yourself.
Thank
you,
other
colleagues.
I
Be
clear
like
we
don't
have
a
mission,
this
is
just
a
regular
review
to
see
what
we
feel
is
outdated.
You
know.
A
A
But
I'll
just
note,
you
know
revisions
and
questions
have
already
been
raised
in
a
working
document
and
it's
really
just
kind
of
systematically
going
through
and
I
would
say
and
and
laura
or
ducks
and
or
george
you
know,
colleagues
who
were
on
the
previous
council
correct
me
if
my
understanding
is
is
not
right,
but
I
think
it's
just
it's
as
much
about
updating
rules
of
procedure
as
it
is
to
bring
our
rules
of
procedure
in
line
with
what
our
accepted
practice
tends
to
be
in
terms
of
formatting
and
order
of
operations,
and
things
like
that.
K
I'll
be
glad
to
nominate
someone
who
is
not
here,
and
that
is
certainly
they
have
to
talk
with
him,
but
alder
person
gearhart
has
worked
on
this
in
the
past,
so
you
may
want
to
touch
base
and
see
if
he
would
be
willing,
particularly
because
there
is
not
a
rush.
This
can
be
worked
on
over
summer
late
summer,
early
fall.
J
Coming
back
to
earlier
discussions
about
the
you
know,
moving
to
hybrid
meetings,
but
there's
probably
going
to
be
a
real
implication
here,
for
you
know
just
understanding
what
we're
playing
with
in
that
arena.
So
you
might
want
to
hold
off
too
till.
So
you
have
a
sense
of
that
perfect.
A
Yeah,
it
sounds
like
okay,
so
jorge
jeff,
great
job
volunteering.
Thank
you
so
much
and
and
and
rob
which
constitutes
not
a
quorum
of
any
given
body.
So
great,
thank
you
so
much
because
that's
such
an
insightful
point
jeff
about
hybrid
meetings
that
you've
raised
all
night,
and
so
I
think
your
insight
will
be
particularly
valuable.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
All
right
great,
thank
you,
colleagues.
So
our
final
discussion
item
this
evening
is
is
a
draft
ordinance.
You
know,
as
we
all
know,
there
is
really,
I
think,
a
grim
expected
news
coming
out
of
the
the
supreme
court
about
the
prospect
for
protections
of
reproductive
rights
and
I'm
just
offering
for
consideration
and
discussion
and
and
potential.
A
You
know
moving
forward
of
an
ordinance
that
would
enshrine
these
protections
in
our
in
our
city
code,
as
well
as
the
the
important
pieces
here,
not
allowing
I'll
I'll.
Just
read
as
written
here.
No
city
resources,
including,
but
not
limited
to
time,
spent
by
employees,
officers,
contractors
or
subcontractors
while
on
duty
or
the
use
of
city
property,
shall
be
utilized
for
detaining
persons
for
performing
or
aiding
in
the
performance
of
an
abortion
within
this
state
or
procuring
an
abortion
in
this
state.
A
There
have
been
some
states
in
anticipation
of
a
forthcoming
court
decision
to
not
only
limit
access
to
reproductive
autonomy
in
their
own
borders,
but
but
seek
to
extend
the
reach
of
some
of
these
draconian
laws
to
other
states.
And
this
provision
would
not
permit
cooperation
with
those
efforts.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
robert
for
working
on
this
and
bringing
it
forward.
I
wonder
if
we
do
want
to
move
ahead
and
share
this
with
council.
A
That's
a
great
suggestion,
laura
you
know
I
I
will.
I
want
to
note
that
I
will.
I
will
well
one
procedurally.
I
think
that
would
require
unanimous
consent
to
change
this
to
a
voting
item
right
and
the
other
thing
is.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
I
I
would
want
to
consult
arie.
A
I
don't
mean
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
I
of
course
want
to
make
sure
that
the
attorney's
office
has
had
appropriate
time
to
digest
something
like
this
before
we
were
to
move
it
forward.
As
a
voting
item.
L
We
have
reviewed
it
I'll
want
to
review
it
further,
but
I
don't
believe
that
that
should
inhibit
the
committee
from
moving
it
forward.
If
that's
what
you'd
like
to
do.
A
Great
thank
you.
Then.
I
would
following
the
very
suggestion
like
to
make
a
motion
to
make
this
a
voting
item
rather
than
a
discussion
item
jorge
I
see.
Is
that
a
south
take
that
as
a
second
I
just
realized.
I
made
the
motion
for
public
benefit.
I
think
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
read
the
the
the
draft
ordinance
since
it.
B
A
Been
a
discussion
item
so
we'll
just
I'll
I'll
amend
that
motion
to
say
I'll,
move
an
ordinance
amending
chapter,
215
of
the
city
of
municipal
code
entitled
human
rights,
protection
to
add
article
7
protection
of
reproductive
rights,
whereas
the
city
of
ithaca
hereby
affirms
and
expresses
support
that
the
core
values
of
our
community
include
creating
a
climate
of
welcome
and
inclusiveness,
protecting
and
preserving
democracy,
freedom,
human
rights
and
the
dignity
of
all
people,
and
whereas
the
2019
reproductive
health
act
affirmed
new
york,
state's
commitment
to
comprehensive
reproductive
health
care
as
a
fundamental
component
of
health,
privacy
and
equality,
and
whereas,
in
anticipation
of
an
expected
supreme
court
ruling,
some
state
legislatures
have
moved
to
criminalize
out-of-state
abortions
and
whereas
the
new
york
state
legislature
is
actively
considering
the
a
10-148.
A
The
reproductive
freedom
and
equity
program
act.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
and
enacted
by
the
common
council
of
the
cities
as
follows:
section
one
legislative
findings,
intent
and
purpose.
The
common
council
makes
the
following
findings,
but
the
protection
of
reproductive
rights
is
essential
to
health
care
and
the
well-being
of
individuals
to
that.
A
The
new
york
state
that
new
york
state,
legalized
abortion
in
1970
prior
to
the
landmark
roe
v
wade
case
enshrined
the
prior
the
chinese
protections
in
the
us
constitution,
based
on
the
above
findings
of
fact,
and
consistent
with
the
10th
amendment
to
the
united
states
constitution.
A
The
enactment
of
this
article
is
intended
to
achieve
the

the
importance
of
reproductive
health
as
a

and
to
ensure
that,

utilized.
For
said,
one
and
two,
as
was
read
earlier
b,
nothing
in
this
section
shall
prohibit
the
investigation
of
any
criminal
activity
in
this
state,
provided
that
no
information
relating
to
any
medical
procedure
performed
on
a
specific
individual
may
be
shared
with
an
out-of-state
agency
or
other
individual
c.
A
The
court
in
issuing
any
final
order
in
any
section
brought
pursuant
to
this
section,
may
award
costs
of
litigation
to
the
prevailing
party.
Whenever
the
court
determines
such
an
award
is
appropriate,
the
section
does
not
limit
or
abrogate
any
claim
or
cause
of
action.
Such
a
person
has
under
common
law
or
by
any
by
other
rule
or
law,
and
then
section
three
and
four
are
severability
and
effective
date,
which
I
will
move
as
which
I
will
move
is
written.
I
do
recognize
that
I
have
to
first
call
for
a
vote.
A
To
unanimously
add
this
to
the
agenda,
but
that
is
what
we
would
be
adding
to
the
agenda
as
a
voting
item.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
adding
this
to
the
agenda.
A
The
intention
of
this
would
be
not
sharing
some
of
this
sensitive
medical
information
with
other
state
agencies
outside
of
new
york
that
are
attempting
to
investigate
this.
G
L
So
that's
that's
a
very
complex
legal
question.
Actually,
george.
I
I
think
what
robert's
getting
at.
E
L
Oh,
I'm
sorry,
can
you
hear
me
yep
yeah.
There
is
at
least
consideration
in
some
states
and
I
think
laws
potentially
on
the
books
in
some
states
that
would
criminalize.
A
I
think
ari
froze
again
but
criminalized.
L
Abortions,
that
are
goodness,
I'm
very
sorry,
I'm
going
to
turn
off
my
video
and
see
if
that
improves
the
audio.
If
that's
better,
I'm
sorry
about
that.
So
the
point
is
that
criminal
proceedings
in
one
state
can
sometimes
seek
to
employ
information
from
outside
that
state.
L
There
can
be
you
know
subpoenas
and
so
on
that
they
go
ahead
and
seek
information
from
outside
that
state
and
that's
the
cooperation
of
law
enforcement
agents
outside
that
state
as
well,
and
so
that,
I
believe,
is
what
what
this
this
ordinance
would
be
targeted.
G
A
No,
and
in
fact
we're
I
mean
in
fact,
if
it's
not
unanimous
it
won't,
it
won't
change.
That's
that's!
That's
our!
That's!
The
prerogative
of.
E
G
A
Jeff,
oh
so
I
guess
so
I'll
call
that
we're
in
the
well
I'll
say
that
that
that
motion
fails
and
we
can
presume
discussion
on
unless
this
is
a
motion
on
the
motion
jeff.
But
I
suspect
it's
not.
I
suspect
it's
discussion.
J
It's
a
it's
a
question
for
discussion.
J
I
guess
what
I'm
wondering
you
know
in
line,
perhaps
with
georgia's
thinking
is:
should
we
anticipate
you
know
just
broader
state
by
state
action
to
protect
ourselves
from
these
exploratory
missions
that
may
take
place
on
account
of
states
that
want
to
prosecute
what
they
view
as
abortion
crimes
and
related
there?
There
too,
you
know,
can
we
should
we
anticipate
that
you
know
just
the
state
will
take
care
of
this
kind
of
issue,
or
is
it
really
important
that
individual
municipalities
look
to
to
protect
themselves
and
their
citizens?
A
I'm
not
sure
who
your
question
is
directed
at
I'll
I'll
answer
and
say
you
know
I
feel
like
I
don't
my
my
personal
view
is
we
are
in
in
in
moving
forward
with
something
like
this.
We
are
maintaining
a
commitment
to
a
right
that
has
existed
to
the
entire
country
for
longer
than
I've
been
alive
and
to
in
the
same
way
that
this
city
has
declared
itself
a
sanctuary
city.
A
I
would
like
to
envision
us
as
being
very
clear
that
we're
a
community
that
that
believes
in
in
reproductive
freedom
and
the
right
of
an
individual
to
have
autonomy
over
their
own
body,
and
so
whether
the
state
does
decide
to
move
forward
with
this
excellent.
I
hope
they
do
until
that
time.
I
would
say
that
my
view
is
that
it
is
important
for
us
to
extend
whatever
protections
we
can
to
the
people
who
are
living
in
this
city.
F
Yeah
I
mean
I
just
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
that,
robert.
If
I
could
sum
up
my
my
sentiments
on
democratic
leadership
in
general,
both
in
this
country
and
the
state
with
one
word,
it
would
be
disappointment
I
feel,
like
our
party
has
fallen
asleep
at
the
wheel,
despite
the
fact
that
we
control
congress,
we
control
you
know
the
majority
of
power
in
the
state
and
waiting
banking
on
like
kicking
this
up
to
the
can
and
banking
on
leadership,
to
act
and
and
organize
on
a
more
efficient
level
and
letting
them
work.
F
That
out
is
when
we
have
agency
and
capacity
to
do
so.
At
our
level
I
mean
all
politics
is
local
in
my
estimate,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
should
be
doing.
You
know
whatever
we
do
here
is
going
to
have
more
impact
on
our
neighbors
more
so
than
anything
that
gets
done
at
the
federal
level
and
right
now,
they've
I've
at
the
both
at
the
federal
and
at
the
state
level.
F
I
in
my
estimate
have
seen
frankly
incompetency
in
terms
of
leadership
and
how
we
are
organizing
stuff,
and
so
I'm
not
going
to.
If
I
can
have
any
say
over
it,
I
don't
want
it
to
be
left
to
the
devices
of
those
folks
and
would
like
us
to
take
more
of
a
proactive
role
in
that
and
so
100
support.
What
you're
saying
robert
and
and
would
support
this
ordinance
once
we
can
get
it
to
a
voting
item.
G
Yeah,
I
obviously
this
is
an
important
issue
and
governor
holcol
it's
one
of
her
primary
issues
I
get.
I
guess
I,
the
language
that
is
before
us
now
is
is
pretty
convoluted
it
where,
where
did
the
language
come
from?
G
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with,
but
this
is
a
long,
complex
piece
of
writing.
A
Yeah,
absolutely
george
and
again
I
you
know
so
so
to
answer
your
question.
You
know
there
are
advocacy
groups
that
care
about
this
issue
and
that
you
know
have
shared
sort
of
information
and
resources,
and
I
I
worked
to
draft
this.
This
was
on
the
agenda
as
a
discussion
item
right.
It
was
not
intended
to
force
force
a
vote.
You
know
the
first
time
us
seeing
it.
A
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
have
a
chance
to
digest
things
and
discuss
them
as
a
group,
and
I
don't
I
want
to
just
say
I
don't
view
your
desire
to
read
this
and
digest
it
as
signaling
in
any
way
opposition
or
anything
like
that.
I
just
I
understand
that
this
is
this.
Is
I
mean
it's
a
convoluted
ordinance
right
legislation.
G
Is
complicated
so
I'm
looking
at
two
different
computers
with
with
the
agenda
on
one
and
everybody's
picture
on
the
other-
and
I
haven't
read
through
this,
so
I'd
like
a
chance
to
do
that.
A
G
E
G
There's
going
to
be
a
a
bicycle
activity
at
south
side
during
juneteenth
celebration,
and
I
would
encourage
everybody
to
join
in
that
celebration
at
southside
and
tomorrow
drumroll,
please
somebody
there's
going
to
be
a
kickball
game
between
gx
staff
and
members
of
ipd
at
11
o'clock
in
the
morning
at
that
little
baseball
field
across
from
ga.
F
I
do
have
an
announcement,
but
I
am
proud
of
my
drum
roll.
That
being
said,
another
side
note
is:
I
definitely
think
we
need
to
get
some
type
of
kickball
going
for
a
family
council.
Maybe
we
can
play
the
county,
I
don't
know
but
but
yeah.
My
my
my
announcement
is
is
something
smaller
I
just
want
to.
As
a
representative
award
for
overseeing
college
town
on
parts
of
west
campus,
I
wanted
to
shout
out
a
big
congratulations
to
all
of
my
constituents
who
will
be
graduating
later
this
week.
F
Congrats
to
you
all,
and
I
will
miss
you
when
I
lose
you
guys
as
constituents,
but
you
always
have
a
home
here
in
ithaca.
Should
you
decide
to
come
back
and
congratulate
those
seniors.
A
Congrats
to
all
of
our
grads
worldwide
or
citywide
rather
county,
any
further
announcements
great.
So
yes,
our
next
meeting
will
be
june,
22nd
and
I'll
say
in
terms
of
review
agenda
items
for
next
meeting.
We
will
in
fact
have
I
will
be
submitting
the
the
the
ordinance
just
discussed
as
a
voting
item
and
ducks,
and
very
helpfully
has
just
reminded
us
all-
that
this
next
meeting
will
be
in
person
pending
some
unforeseen
extension
of
the
state
of
emergency,
which
has
already
happened
to
us
a
few
times.
