B
Good
evening,
we're
here
for
the
August
2023
City
Administration
committee,
meeting
I'm
Donna
Fleming
I'm,
an
older
person
from
the
Third
Ward
I'm
chairing
temporarily
in
the
absence
of
our
chair,
Robert
cantelma
who's
on
his
way,
I'm
joined
by
Chris,
Hayne,
sharp
and
by
Jorge
defendini
and
George
McGonagall
is
on
his
way
Here
Comes
our
chair,
but
while
he
gets
seated,
are
there
any
changes
to
the
agenda
for
the
evening?
B
Nope
we're
good
all
right
so
who
would
like?
Oh.
D
A
B
All
right,
sorry
about
sorry
about
that
momentary
glitch.
Would
anybody
like
to
move
the
minutes
from
the
June
28th
meeting?
B
B
F
Good
evening
Matt,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
my
name
is
Caitlin
Hunter
and
I'm.
The
community
organizer
with
Planned
Parenthood
of
Greater
New
York,
also
known
as
ppgny,
focusing
on
this
region
and
I
work
out
of
the
Planned
Parenthood
ithaca's
Health
Center
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
Enfield
New
York
I'd
like
to
thank
alderperson
defendini
for
championing
the
important
legislation
package.
That'll
come
up
later
to
help
ensure
trans
and
gender
non-conforming
young
people
in
this
city
can
safely
get
the
care
that
they
need
and
deserve.
F
I'm
here
today
to
issue
a
statement
of
support
of
the
trans
Safe
Haven
resolution
on
behalf
of
ppgny.
For
over
a
hundred
years,
ppgny
has
provided
sexual
and
reproductive
Health
Care
to
all
New
Yorkers
in
need,
including
residents
of
Ithaca
in
2022
ppgny
conducted
over
a
hundred
thousand
patient
visits,
providing
care
to
all
those
in
need,
regardless
of
immigration,
status,
Identity
or
ability
to
pay
for
services.
We
are
committed
to
removing
barriers
to
care
and
creating
a
community
in
which
health
and
wellness
are
accessible
for
lgbtq,
plus
people.
F
Gender
affirming
care
is
Central
to
our
work
and
integral
to
our
mission
to
increase
Health
Equity
throughout
New,
York,
State,
transgender
hormone
therapy
and
other
gender.
Affirming
Health
Care
is
provided
at
Health
Centers
across
our
affiliate,
including
the
health
center
right
here
in
Ithaca.
Access
to
high
quality
Health
Care
is
important
for
all
communities,
but
especially
in
a
community
that
is
being
targeted
in
other
states
throughout
our
country.
F
In
fact,
over
400
anti-lgbtq
bills
have
been
introduced
just
this
year
alone,
many
of
which
directly
Target
the
transgender
Community,
while
the
2019
gender
expression,
non-discrimination
act,
also
known
as
agenda,
prohibits
discrimination
on
the
basis
of
gender
identity
in
New
York
state.
We
are
still
seeing
a
tax
on
trans
and
non-binary
people
across
the
country.
Legislation
in
Oklahoma
in
South
Carolina
would
make
it
a
felony
to
provide
hormonal
and
surgical
transition.
Treatment
to
transgender
people
younger
than
26.
F
other
bills
in
states
such
as
Kansas
and
Mississippi
would
ban
this
kind
of
Health
Care
up
to
the
age
of
21..
The
passage
of
the
trans
Sanctuary
City
resolution
would
help
ensure
Ithaca
is
a
place
where
gender
affirming
Healthcare
is
a
right.
While
New
York
state
has
already
passed
legislation
to
protect
transgender
rights
and
medical
professionals,
we
must
ensure
localities
in
our
state
do
all
that
they
can
to
protect
this
community
section.
F
Two
part:
two
of
this
resolution
ensures
that
whatever
happens
on
the
state
level,
including
the
removal
of
protections
Ithaca,
would
remain
a
safe
haven
for
gender,
affirming
care,
and
it's
our
duty.
It's
our
responsibility
to
ensure
that
our
community
is
a
safe
and
inclusive
place
for
all
members,
where
everyone
can
access
the
health
care
that
they
need,
regardless
of
the
politics
at
the
state
level.
Thank
you
again
to
the
Ithaca
common
Council
and
Alder
person
defendini
for
taking
these
important
and
bold
steps
to
protect
the
rights
and
safety
of
trans
and
genderqueer
people
in
Ithaca.
G
That
is
a
bad
thing,
because
we've
got
problems
as
it
is
down
there.
The
cops
are
down
there,
all
the
time
and
they're
short-handed,
and
they
don't
need
to
be
short-handed
anymore.
What
they
are
and
I'm
against
putting
another
bar
and
I
mean
we've
got
too
many
bars
in
the
city.
Now
we've
got
one
on,
we've
got
the
range
on
the
commons
and
we
got
a
few
others
around
chanticleer
I
mean
sure
they've
been
around
for
a
long
time.
G
That's
fine,
but
we
don't
need
no
new
ones
and
I'm
looking
out
for
the
safety
of
all
the
people
down
there.
Not
just
myself
and
I
spoke
at
the
meeting
with
Cynthia
Brock
back
in
July
and
safety.
G
We
don't
need
that
kind
of
trouble.
We
want
to
live
down
there
peacefully,
that's
what
the
Western's
supposed
to
be,
but
the
way
it
looks
like
now,
it's
not
going
to
be
that
way
and
they're
supposed
to
be
building
in
more
housing
and
I
mean
if
they
do,
that
I
mean
there's
people
down
there
get
children.
G
G
G
I
just
want
you
folks
to
know
that
how
I
feel
about
having
another
bar
in
town,
we
don't
need
it
take
one
another
bar
put
it
up
there
with
the
old
thing
is
from
79.,
where
it's
out
of
the
way
and
ain't
going
to
bother
nobody,
because
I
mean
up
there
where
that
was
I
mean
they
may
have
had
problems,
but
didn't
they
haven't
I,
don't
think
they
had
as
many
problems
that
the
city
was
having
right
now
was
crying
we've
got
to
think
of
the
crime.
G
That's
going
to
take
place,
as
that
bar
goes
in
and
I'll
tell
you
right
now.
If
anyone
breaks
into
my
apartment
with
the
intent
to
commit
bodily
harm,
I'll
kill
them,
and
the
Troopers
told
me:
I
have
the
right
to
do
so,
and
I
don't
want
to
have
to
do
that
and
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
other
people.
Don't
want
to
have
to
pull
that
go
that
route,
but
I
mean
we
will
to
protect
ourselves.
E
I
saw
him
sign
up,
but
okay,
all
right
in
that
case,
I
will
turn
to
colleagues
for
an
opportunity
to
respond.
Colleagues
Jorge.
D
Thank
you
to
to
Caitlin
and
ppgny
for
coming
here
and
speaking
today,
for
your
continued
support
and
advocacy
for
this
legislation
and
the
work
that
you
do
in
general
to
make
sure
that
reproductive
and
gender
rights
are
accessible
and
and
attainable
for
folks
here
within
the
city
of
Ithaca
and
across
the
country,
it
was
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
work
that
you've
put
into
this
effort.
I'm
very
happy
to
be
considering
this
resolution
today.
D
I
know
that
we
won't
be
voting
in
full
on
the
entire
package
and
I
know
it's
not
what
everybody
hoped
for,
but
I
do
believe.
We
are
taking
tangible
material
steps
in
creating
protections
in
the
face
of
everything.
That's
happening.
D
I
know
that
there's
I've
spoken
to
folks
within
the
community
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
fear
and
uncertainty
about
what
the
future
holds
in
the
in
the
state
of
New
York
and
within
the
country
with
presidential
elections
and
Congressional
elections
looming
and
a
lot
of
prejudice
and
hysteria
being
put
out
there.
And
so,
as
Caitlyn
said,
it's
important
that
municipalities
take
every
step.
D
We
can
to
ensure
that
this
place
is
a
safe
haven
and
Sanctuary
for
all
members
of
our
community,
and
so
I
will
continue,
even
after
this
to
push
for
greater
protections
and
greater
safeties
for
the
transgender
and
genderqueer
community.
In
all
communities
who
face
marginalization
by
people
in
power,
we
have
a
power
as
a
local
government,
whether
it's
advocacy
or
actual
policy
and
and
implementation,
and
so
we
have
a
responsibility
to
use
that
with
people's
best
interests
in
mind.
D
E
Thanks
already
other
colleagues
all
right,
seeing
none
will
move
to
I
need
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing
of
the
2023
sidewalk
improvement
district
assessment
moved
by
Donna,
segregated
by
Jorge
all
those
in
favor
of
opening
the
hearing
and
that
carries
4-0.
E
Being
joined
by
it's
okay,
we
did,
we
are
being
joined
by
older
president
McGonagall,
so
we
are
now
up
to
five
full
membership.
Are
there
any
do
we
receive
any
comments?
Comment
cards
for
the
public
hearing,
all
right.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
on
the
sidewalk
assessments?
E
Okay,
in
that
case
may
I,
have
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing,
move
by
Jorge
seconded
by
Donna,
all
those
in
favor
of
closing
the
public
hearing
and
that
carries
unanimously
five
zero.
Thank
you
up.
Next.
In
that
case,
I
will
invite
our
representatives
from
bike
walk
Tompkins,
who
have
a
brief
presentation
on
mobility
in
the
city.
Please
you're
welcome
to
join
us
up
here.
H
Thing
I
was
prepared,
thanks
for
having
me
down
here.
I
wanted
to
give
everybody
some
positive
things
to
talk
about
and
some
things
that
we're
doing
here
that
are
really
working.
How
do
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
who's
in
charge
of
that
Scott?
Thank
you.
Oh,
my
name
is
Jeff
goodmark
I'm,
the
director
of
micro
Mobility
for
Center
for
Community
Transportation.
Technically,
not
bike,
walk
Tompkins,
but
bike
walk.
Tompkins
is
one
of
our
programs
that
we
are
that
we
work
together
with,
on
a
regular
basis,
a
sister
program
of
CCT.
A
H
No
problem,
Ithaca,
Bike
Share,
launched
in
November
things
have
gone
really
well
and
have
been.
We've
been
received
very
favorably
in
the
community.
The
most
common
feedback
that
we
get
on
a
daily
basis
is
that
people
can't
find
bikes
when
they
want
to
use
them.
H
That's
mostly
due
to
the
fact
that
our
current
Fleet
is
about
only
one-third,
the
actual
size
of
the
kind
of
Fleet
that
we
would
want
to
have
to
serve
a
city
with
this
kind
of
demand
there
we
go
so
we're
making
connections.
This
is
what
we're
saying
here
and
so
basically
we're
making
a
lot
of
different
kind
of
connections
for
one.
You
can
see
the
literal
physical
connections
between
all
the
places
in
town.
H
This
is
a
small
sample
just
of
a
few
months
of
just
what
kind
of
trails
that
our
bikes
are
leaving
around
City.
You
can
certainly
see
heavy
activity
on
Cornell's,
East
Hill,
as
well
as
main
parts
of
downtown
next
slide.
Please,
if
you
got
that
worked
out
excellent,
we're
also
making
connections
to
a
lot
of
Community
Partners,
which
is
a
big
part
of
our
goal,
is
to
be
integrated
into
other
organizations
and
town
that
are
doing
similar
work
and
that
can
help
us.
You
know
forward
our
our
needs
and
so
park.
H
Foundation
has
been
a
big
supporter
of
ours
from
the
beginning.
Luckily,
with
their
support,
we
were
able
to
get
started
to
begin
with.
H
Mike
Tompkins,
as
you
mentioned,
as
you
introduced
before,
is
one
of
the
main
partners
of
Center
for
Community
Transportation,
and
we
work
with
them
hand
in
hand
on
a
daily
basis
to
do
a
bunch
of
bike
and
pedestrian
advocacy
programs,
and
we
work
with
with
Aaron
in
the
city
as
well.
As
you
know,
lots
of
other
programs
and
go
Ithaca
who
is
currently
administrating
our
easy
access
program,
which
is
how
people
get
free
access
to
Bike
Share.
H
We
work
with
them.
We
have
ways
on
our
website
and
our
people
come
to
us.
We
go
through
the
go
Ithaca
program.
They
can
sign
up
free
membership
there
and
basically
get
access
to
our
program
at
no
cost.
We
do
also
have
a
reduced
cost
benefit
through
goethica
as
well,
which
is
basically
a
half
price
membership
for
people
that
can't
quite
afford
it,
but
don't
quite
meet
the
free
guidelines.
H
Next
slide.
Please,
and
our
biggest
connection
that
we've
made
so
far,
is
that
we
have
signed
up
NYSEG
as
our
title
sponsor.
H
They
have
provided
us
with
essentially
25
percent
of
our
operations,
income
for
2020,
three
also
2024
and
2025.,
and
so
we
have
this
baked
into
our
finances
moving
forward
and
it's
been
a
really
great
sponsorship,
they're.
Obviously,
a
huge
part
of
the
green
New
Deal
they're,
investing
a
ton
of
money
into
electrifying
the
city
and
to
upgrading
making
upgrades
to
the
grid.
H
So
we
can
support
all
this
electric
infrastructure
they
felt
Transportation
was
largely
missing
in
the
green,
New,
Deal
or
certainly
micro
mobility,
and
wanted
to
be
able
to
help
support
that,
and
so
it
was
a
good
partnership
that
we
made,
and
it's
been
a
really
good
partnership.
So
far,
you'll
see
some
of
the
bikes.
H
If
we
can
see
the
next
slide
that
have
that
there
we
go
and
then
I
said,
logos
that
are
on
the
front
and
there'll
be
a
couple
of
other
logos
that
we
add
when
our
next
batch
of
bikes
comes
we'll
be
doing
a
little
slight
redesign
just
cosmetically.
That
will
include
a
little
bit
more
of
them.
Trish
Nielsen,
their
CEO,
has
been
really
great
to
work
with.
H
She
saw
this
vision
from
the
very
first
day,
which
was
when
I
met
her,
which
happened
to
be
her
very
first
day
publicly,
speaking
at
the
Electrify
Ithaca
launch,
which
was
in
like
July
of
last
year,
and
she
helped
bring
this
all
the
way
through
to
the
end.
And
so
it's
been
really
good
partnership
next
slide.
Please.
H
45
580,
as
of
when
I
just
got
here,
we
continue
to
do,
but
around
300
new
rides
every
single
day
in
the
city
of
the
population
of
32
000.
That
average
is
basically
more
than
1.4
chips
for
every
person
who
live
in
the
city.
H
The
overall
adoption
of
our
program
has
been
has
been
huge
and
people
use
it
all
the
time
the
our
average
user
who's
using
on
a
daily
basis,
is
taking
between
three
and
six
trips
in
a
single
day,
leaving
their
apartment
going
to
work,
going
to
the
store,
going
shopping
somewhere
on
the
way
home
and
going
home
or
going
to
class
if
they're
on
campus,
very
utilitarian.
Very
short
trips
I
have
the
data
for
that
as
well.
Next
slide,
please,
ten
thousand
right.
H
Just
in
the
last
six
weeks,
we
continue
to
grow
on
a
on
a
fast
pace,
with
our
only
really
Factor.
H
That's
holding
us
back
is
that
we
just
don't
have
enough
vehicles
for
everybody
that
wants
to
get
their
hands
on
them
with
our
average
TVD,
which
is
chips
for
vehicle
per
day
being
over
three
somewhere
between
three
and
four
trips
for
every
bike,
and
if
you
multiply
that
by
10
minutes
that
you
know
these
bikes
are
in
high
demand
and
people
decide,
they
want
to
take
a
bike
and
they
go
outside
and
they
just
can't
get
their
hands
on
one.
H
So
we're
trying
to
fix
that
problem
and
that
and
I'll
show
you
some
solutions
for
that
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
here's
just
a
quick
map
of
what
it
looks
like
these
are
start
points
on
the
left
and
endpoints
on
the
right,
and
you
can
certainly
see
how
they're
distributed
over.
H
You
know
our
infrastructure
and
where
people
are
located,
but
you
also
can
kind
of
get
the
sense
of
that
really
zooming,
then
that's
kind
of
everywhere,
which
is
exactly
the
point
of
this
program
and
how
dockless
Transportation
can
go
everywhere
and
what
what
why
that's
so
useful
next
slide.
Please
nafsa
just
released
yesterday
their
2022
report
and
it
had
some
really
really
fascinating
information
in
it
of
all
the
surveys
that
they
ran
this
year.
H
H
It's
really
really
working
people
are
really
starting
to
rely
on
it
and
the
more
that
we
can
provide
the
service
the
more
that
people
will
know
that
they
can
rely
on
it
and
even
get
greater
reliability
in
our
program,
which
will
make
people
choose
it
more
often,
you
can
see
modes
that
are
replaced
by
shared
Mobility,
so
yeah.
Certainly,
a
lot
of
people
would
walk
and
instead
of
walking
they're
taking
a
bike,
but
that's
you're
taking
a
25
minute.
H
You
know
mile
walk
and
replacing
it
with
a
30
second
or
45.
Second,
bike
ride
or
you're,
taking
a
longer
walk
of
an
hour
where
you're
going
a
few
miles
and
you're
replacing
that
with
a
five
minute
bike.
Ride,
so
that's
really
really
great.
One
of
the
other
things
that
this
has
shown
us
is
that
a
lot
of
people
are
actually
going
out.
H
They
say
six.
Six
percent
of
people
of
these
trips
are
actually
people
that
are
going
out
to
do
something
that
would
have
not
otherwise
not
gone
out
at
all.
They
wouldn't
have
taken
any
trip.
They
would
have
made
other
plans,
they
wouldn't
have
done
anything,
and
so
now
we're
getting
more
people
out
in
the
community
and
people
that
are
using
these
bikes
are
really
going
to
destinations.
H
H
So,
obviously,
if
we're
saving
a
ton
of
car
trips,
we're
certainly
saving
a
ton
of
money,
a
ton
of
greenhouse
gases
and
we're
really
reducing
our
carbon
footprint
in
the
city-
and
this
is
all
completely
in
line
with
all
the
goals
that
are
set
forth
with
green
New
Deal
and
all
the
other
things
that
we're
working
on.
H
So,
even
though
we're
not
technically
part
of
that
program,
we're
really
providing
a
lot
of
data
and
a
lot
of
results
that
are
that
are
right
in
line
with
these
programs
next
slide,
please
we've
had
600
new
users
in
the
last
three
weeks
alone,
and
actually,
in
the
last
24
hours,
we've
had
about
75
new
signups.
H
Obviously,
students
are
just
getting
here
now
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
influx
of
people
in
town,
2,
000,
new
users
since
June
1st,
though,
and
that
was
really
people
over
the
summer,
who
were
not
students
who
were
not
here
for
for
the
universities
who
were
either
here.
As
you
know,
tourists
or
people
who
are
coming
to
check
out
Ithaca
for
the
future
or
generally
people
that
are
living
here
and
working
here
all
summer
who
are
who
have
gotten
into
our
program.
H
We
have
a
total
of
6
500
total
registered
users,
that's
people
who
have
gone
to
our
website,
who
have
downloaded
our
app,
who
have
set
up
an
account
who
have
verified
their
email
and
who
have
taken
at
least
one
trip.
So
that
is
a
huge
impact
on
creating
impact
on
a
ton
of
different
people.
Only
18
of
these
trips
are
signed
up
with
Cornell
email
address.
H
We
actually
estimate
that
it's
closer
to
probably
30
percent
Cornell
students
that
use
the
program,
but
only
18
are
using
their
Cornell
net
ID,
because
we
can
extrapolate
that,
based
on
the
data
that
we
have
from
people,
the
bikes
on
campus
during
the
day
like
on
a
day
where
there's
100
trips,
40
or
50
of
them,
will
be
on
campus
next
slide.
Please.
H
So
we've
traveled
76
369
total
miles.
The
average
trip
length
is
12
minutes.
Currently,
92
of
all
of
our
trips
are
four
or
five
star
rated
and
our
average
chip
length
that
people
are
riding
is
1.65
miles.
H
These
are
all
completely
right
in
line
with
First
and
Last
Mile
Transportation
connections
across
the
city,
and
you
know
getting
people
in
and
out
of
areas
where
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
other
options
other
than
their
own
car,
which
we
don't
want
them
to
use
in
in
for
1.65
miles
the
why
people
ride
breakdown
is
pretty
interesting.
H
A
lot
of
people
are,
you
know
it's
very,
it's
very
social
which
is
really
great,
because
that
makes
your
city
feel
alive
when
you
go
out
and
people
are
out
there
all
the
time,
and
you
see
people
going
by
on
bikes.
It's
just
really
a
great
thing
exercise
and
Recreation
for
us
is
not
exactly
what
this
survey
showed.
We
have
a
little
bit
lower
number
for
recreation.
H
Although
we
as
a
program,
love
Recreation
trips,
they
tend
to
be
much
longer
and
require
less
customer
service
and
tend
to
honestly
have
a
higher
higher
bottom
line,
because
people
are
taking
longer
trips.
We
don't
have
that
many
of
those,
although
we
did
this
summer,
we
see
a
lot
of
very
short
trips
and
days
where
one
person
will
take
five
or
six
2019.
We
had
lime
e-bikes.
H
H
Next
slide,
please
just
looking
at
our
user
data
in
a
few
different
ways
on
the
left,
you
can
see
our
membership
breakdown,
which
is
33
membership
or
31,
which
is
exactly
The
Sweet
Spot
that
we're
looking
for
and
the
a
lot
of
people
are
post
pay,
which
means
that
they're
just
paying
by
the
minute
which
their
average
ticket
is.
You
know
225
or
three
dollars
or
something
like
that,
and
we
do
have
like
I
said,
mentioned
our
voucher
program.
H
We
have
about
60
members
of
the
easy
access
program
who
are
completely
getting
free
service
completely
that
have
signed
up.
Those
are
not
exactly
represented
on
that
little
graph
and
we
have
a
lot
of
day
pass
purchases
which
is
20
bucks
for
an
hour.
That's
just
an
easy
way
to
for
people
to
buy
for
two
hours.
Excuse
me
for
people
to
buy
service
for
one
day
and
ride
around.
H
They
don't
get
charged
the
unlock
fees
when
you,
when
you
purchase
it
in
bulk,
so
it
works
out
really
good
for
them
and
then
hourly
breakdowns.
It's
amazing,
like
I
I,
go
to
sleep
late
and
I.
Wake
up
early
and
somehow
75
rides
have
happened
like
in
that
time.
It's
like
amazing
people
are
using
it
all
hours
of
the
day
and
night.
H
This
is
just
a
breakdown
of
like
the
last
few
weeks,
just
like
trying
to
group
by
hour
just
to
see
that
there's
no
time
when
people
aren't
using
this
two
o'clock
in
the
morning
three
o'clock
in
the
morning.
These
are
people
who
are
working
and
are
getting
off
late
and
have
no
other
options
to
get
home,
and
they
really
email
me
and
say
how
much
they
appreciate
this
kind
of
service.
Did
you
have
a
question
George.
H
Not
no
that's
one
of
the
few
ideal
deployment
zones
in
the
downtown
area,
that's
truly
out
of
the
way
of
pedestrians
and
it's
easy
because
of
the
way
that
the
ramps
are
caught
there
for
people
to
get
on,
and
so
that's
just
been
like
a
really
no
kind
of
no-brainer
hub
for
us.
We
can
pull
right
up
with
our
van
and
put
bikes
there
all
the
time
and
it's
Community
located
for
everyone,
so
it
just
kind
of
works
out
really
well
and
to
be
honest,
it's
a
long-standing
business.
H
H
So
here's
a
little
bit
peek
into
the
numbers
of
what
we're
looking
at
and
how
we're
and
how
we're
doing
and
and
what
our
program
looks
like
and
so
trips
column
is
total
trips.
In
that
month
we
had
over
7
000
trips
in
July,
which
is
just
incredible.
I
mean
we
knew
May
would
be
our
our
busiest
month
and
probably
September
will
actually
be
our
busiest
month.
We're
anticipating
somewhere
around
8
500
trips
in
September,
revenue
is
proportionate
to
trips,
and
revenue
per
trip
is
the
rpt
column.
H
When
lime
was
here,
even
the
lime
was
more
expensive.
The
revenue
per
trip
actually
only
averaged
around
325.
We've
had
many
times
that
were
over,
that
our
chips
are
just
longer
and
more
luxurious.
H
The
average
cost
of
the
average
ride
and
you
can
see
in
July
how
that
was
much
higher,
and
that
was
mostly
due
to
the
factoring
in
the
Leisure
trips
that
people
were
taking
around
the
park
or
on
the
waterfront
Trail
for
an
hour
an
hour
and
a
half
and
those
brought
that
that
total
up
you
can
see
when
it's
colder
like
in
March
and
February.
That
number
is
much
lower,
because
people
are
just
going
literally
as
fast
as
they
can
from
one
place
to
another
question.
Yeah.
E
Jeff
on
that
I
actually
was
wondering
if
you
could
help
us
interpret
the
February
March
a
little
bit
more
sure
just
I
know.
Obviously
the
November
reflects
like
the
initial
launch,
but
I'm
actually
very
pleased
to
see
4
000
in
February.
H
4
000
trips
in
February.
Now
we
happen
to
have
a
slightly
more
mild
February
than
than
you
think
about
when
you
think
about
Ithaca
in
February
this
year,
but
transportation
and
micro
Mobility
as
a
service
offers
a
different
kind
of
Freedom.
That
no
other
service
offers
right.
You
don't
have
to
plan
ahead.
You
can
go
out
any
time
of
the
day
or
night.
You
can
open
up
your
phone
they'll.
Tell
you
exactly
where
the
things
are.
H
I
know
I,
don't
do
a
lot
of
bike
riding
in
February,
but
lots
of
people
did
and
you
become
to
rely
on
a
service
and
if
it's
available,
people
are
going
to
use
it
and
one
thing
to
factor
in
when
you're.
Looking
at
the
revenue
on
per
trip
line,
especially
March
15th,
we
changed
our
pricing
structure
to
better
accommodate
the
ridiculously
high
credit
card
and
transaction
fees
that
we
were
being
charged.
H
When
we
were
down
to
1.70
for
a
trip,
we
were
basically
giving
that
almost
all
of
that
away
to
credit
cards.
We
weren't
good.
There
was
nothing
left
for
us
like
40
cents
after
everything,
so
we
in
March
15th,
we
increased
our
unlock
fee
by
50
Cents
and
we
increased
our
per
minute
price
by
five
cents.
A
minute.
H
H
The
revenue
per
trip
is
going
to
go
up,
people
are,
might
take
a
little
side
trip
or
go
around
a
longer
way,
because
it's
nice
out
and
you're
on
a
bike,
and
it's
just
like
kind
of
a
nice
thing.
So
we
see
that
the
numbers
mostly
reflect
that
average
RVD.
That
means
that
bike
went
out
in
that
day.
How
much
is
each
bike
earning
in
each
day?
That's
RVD
Revenue
per
vehicle
per
day
trips
per
vehicle
per
day
is
TVD.
H
If
you
have
a
successful
program,
you
have
bikes
out
you're
getting
one
trip
per
vehicle
per
day.
That's
considered
a
successful
program,
so
looking
at
our
2.5S
and
threes,
and
this
month,
August
last
week
alone
has
been
closer
to
four.
H
H
Any
other
questions
on
the
on
these
particular
numbers.
Next
slide,
please
George.
I
Are
the
bikes
that
are
currently
parked
on
West
Hill,
like
on
Elm,
Street
and
Chestnut
Street?
Are
those
being
used
heavily
or.
H
Those
are
not
currently
being
used
heavily,
but
they
are
being
used.
So
West
Hill
has
a
few
challenges,
obviously
one
of
which
is
getting
back
up.
West
Hill
when
you
on
bike
is
not
the
easiest
trip.
H
There's
some
improvements
coming
into
Elm
Street
right
now
that
are
going
to
make
that
a
little
bit
better
any
of
the
bikes
that
we
start
on
West
Hill
find
their
way
downtown,
no
matter
what
and
then
they're
getting
multiple
trips
there's
a
lot
more
trips
that
we
can
create
at
West
Hill
once
we
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
second
on
a
different
slide.
H
But
we
are
part
of
the
nyserda
EV
program
and
we're
targeting
a
few
areas
specifically
areas
on
West
Hill,
which
will
have
10x
the
deployments
that
they
currently
have
now,
which
will
provide
a
lot
more
opportunity
for
people
to
get
into
Ithaca
that
way
and
then,
of
course,
people
will
go
back
once
they
start
to
become
more
familiar
with
that
as
a
mode
of
transportation,
but
currently
it's
kind
of
low,
mostly
due
to
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
enough
bikes
for
everyone,
and
so
we
don't
really
distribute
them
anywhere.
H
We
just
pick
up
the
ones
that
need
a
new
battery
or
need
to
be
fixed,
and
then
we
put
those
out
in
convenient
places
when
we
can.
Thank
you.
This
is
just
a
quick
view
of
the
zones.
This
is
just
for
reporting
purposes.
We
can
create
little
zones
in
our
software
and
we
can
drill
down
data,
we're
still
kind
of
working
out
exactly
what
kind
of
reports
we
can
pull
from
these
they're
fairly
new.
H
But
it's
going
to
be
super
important
to
get
the
data
that
we
want
as
when
we
move
forward
next
slide,
please
yeah.
So
I
mentioned
the
nicerata
it
ieta
V
prize,
so
this
I
think
this
is
shared
with
everyone.
I
don't
know
if
you
share
this
with
everyone.
Okay,
so
you
can
look
at
our
final
report.
The
link
to
the
final
report
is
here.
This
has
been
submitted
submitted
to
nyserda.
H
We
should
be
expecting
within
literally
any
day
now
or
practically
any
minute,
450
000
from
nyserda
for
this
grant,
which
will
purchase
us
an
additional
160,
e-bikes,
Parts
and
batteries
that
we
need
to
expand
our
Fleet
for
the
first
expansion
with
those
particular
bikes
and
this
nicer
of
money
like
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
are
working
on
a
few
target
areas
next
slide.
Please
and
there's
lots
of
details
in
the
report,
but
you
can
kind
of
see
the
green
area
is
our
West
Hill
expansion
area.
H
The
blue
area
is
our
South
Side
expansion
area,
all
the
red
red
squares
or
rectangles
are
supposed
to
be
future
free
parking
hubs
that
we'll
be
creating.
H
We're
trying
to
make
it
as
easy
for
people
to
park
in
an
orderly
fashion
by
creating
free
parking
hubs
everywhere,
but
people
are
also
can
go
right
home
to
their
front
door
if
they
want
for
a
one
dollar
out
of
Hub
parking
fee.
Next
slide,
please
for
more
info.
This
is
also
live.
You
can
click
on
our
website
there.
This
is
our
active
map.
This
shows
all
of
our
free
parking
hubs.
H
Anybody
who's
interested
in
our
program
wants
to
know
where
they
can
park
can
go
to
this
map
right
here
and
you
can
zoom
all
the
way
into
the
slight
details
of
where
everything
is
I
created
about
six
more
hubs
today,
I
take
feedback
from
Riders
all
the
time
about
where
they
wish.
H
There
was
a
hub
and
then
I
create
one
for
them,
because
compliance
is
comes
out
of
convenience,
I'm
trying
to
make
it
as
easy
for
everyone
to
park
for
free
as
they
as
they
can,
and
maybe
it's
not
right
at
their
front
door,
but
maybe
it's
a
block
away
and
that's
seems
like
it's
worth
a
dollar
to
walk
that
one
block.
H
If
for
people
that
are
you
know,
budget
conscious
and
want
that
that
choice
next
slide,
please
here's
a
link
here,
I,
don't
know-
probably
nobody
saw
this,
but
this
is
a
really
great
article
about
our
program
and
ithaca's.
You
know
in
general
about
how
we're
what
is
important
to
us
as
a
community
and
for
transportation,
and
it's
written
pretty
well
here
by
Kieran
here
but,
and
you
can
read
that
came
out
in
July,
I've
been
sharing
it
around
and
it's
gotten
some
good
feedback
I
just
wanted
to
make
everyone
aware
of
it.
H
Next
slide,
please
fine!
Just
an
update.
When
we
originally
launched
our
program,
we
were
12
and
up
our
insurance
allowed
for
that.
We
have
come
to
learn
and
there's
been
some
things
classified
I'm
not
classified
clarified.
Excuse
me
that
New
York
state
law
requires
the
minimum
age
to
be
16
years
to
ride
any
e-bike.
Even
a
class,
one
pedal
assist
Evike.
H
So
that's
the
rule
we're
following
the
rules,
so
our
our
up,
our
all
of
our
materials
in-house,
are
all
updated
to
reflect
that
in
our
terms
of
service
and
all
that
other
stuff.
Those
are
all
the
different
links
again
if
anybody
cares
to
go
to
those
are
all
the
articles
about
either
people
saying
why
it
should
be
or
why
they're
against
it
or
why
there's
age
limits
on
these
things
or
whatever,
but
there
are
and
their
laws
and
we're
following
them
next
slide,
please
so
in
closing.
H
What's
really
important
for
us
is
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
know
that
this
program
is
going
to
exist
in
the
future
and
that
we
don't
have
to
continuously
be
looking
for
for
financing
here
and
getting
money
here
and
it's
it's.
It
takes
so
much
time
away
from
customer
service
and
actual
operations
of
being
able
to
just
provide
the
best
program
that
we
can
possibly
provide.
H
Our
title
sponsorship
is
about
25
of
our
income,
and
this
Community
Partners
tranche
is
the
rest
of
what
we're
looking
for,
and
we've
had
Park
Foundation
in
the
Community
Partners
Department
for
a
while
and
and
we
hope
to
have
them
for
a
few
more
years,
but
we
also
need
other
local
organizations
to
be
to
think
about
who
Bike
Share
is
serving
and
what
it
is
that
we
could
do
if
we
were
not
worried
about
these
things
and
really
focus
on
service
and
delivery,
and
all
these
great
other
things
that
we
can
provide.
H
So
it's
about
total
for
us
to
run
in
an
entire
year
is
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It's
our
overall
number.
H
H
We
have
some
very
preliminary
agreements
in
place
with
Ithaca
College
that
we
just
started.
They
seem
very
on
board
with
being
able
to
provide
this
service
for
their
students.
Cornell,
of
course,
is
probably
benefiting
the
most
of
anyone,
because
their
students
are
using
it.
The
most
and
I
haven't
been
able
to
get
them
to
commit
financially
to
our
program
yet,
but
that's
a
work
in
progress
and
we're
hoping
that
other
organizations,
potentially
even
the
city,
will
be
able
to
look
at
our
program
and
include
us.
H
You
know
in
in
the
budget.
These
funds
are
for
our
operations
to
get
to
tomorrow.
H
We
need
to
also
build
out
our
capex
purchasing
ability,
which
is
basically
our
next
expansion,
which
is
round
two,
which
will
either
be
in
Fall,
2024
or
potentially
spring
2025,
but
that's
going
to
be
another
160
bikes,
which
is
like
one
batch
and
that's
around
450
000.
So
that's
the
money
that
if
we
go
over
with
our
Revenue
that
will
begin
to
be
saved
for
that
purchase
and
we're
looking
for
Grants
and
we're
looking
for
funding,
for
you
know
for
Capital
expenditures,.
H
So,
overall,
it's
been
a
really
positive
experience.
From,
from
my
perspective,
I
spend
a
lot
of
my
time
personally
answering
every
single
question
that
comes
into
our
app
and
resolving
issues
and
doing
customer
service
and
making
sure
that
our
team
is
in
order
and
that
our
bikes
are,
you
know,
maintaining
to
the
best
of
their
ability.
We
have
a
really
small
lean
team,
just
four
of
us
right
now
that
are
doing
this
with
160
new
bikes
by
Spring.
H
That
will
probably
be
up
to
six,
maybe
seven
people
on
staff,
but
everybody's
working
hard
and
doing
a
really
great
job
and
I'm
really
thankful
that
I
have
such
a
good
team
in
place,
because
we
can
do
it
with
such
small.
A
small
amount
of
people
I
would
love
to
open
up
the
floor
for
any
other
questions
that
we
didn't
get
to,
and
oh
I
just
had
a
couple.
H
These
are
some
just
quick
ideas,
so
one
one
thing
that
we're
not
really
from
my
perspective
that
I'm
not
really
satisfied
with
is
that
we
have
these
digital
parking
hubs
that
I
showed
on
the
map,
which
are
free
and
people
know
where
they
are,
but
when
they
get
to
State
Street
or
when
they
get
to
the
books,
the
adult
bookstore
there's
nothing
there
to
tell
them
where
the
bike
goes,
and
so
what
happens
is
a
lot
of
people
are
like
well,
I
want
to
do
the
right
thing.
I
want
to
be
a
good.
H
You
know,
user
of
this,
so
I'm
going
to
put
this
bike
on
the
bike
rack,
and
so
that's
pretty
good.
That's
a
lot
of
thought
went
into
that,
but
that's
not
exactly
needed
and
now
we're
taking
space
away
from
people
who
actually
need
to
lock
their
bikes
up.
So
we
don't
really
want
that,
but
there's,
but
without
signage,
without
parking
Corrals,
without
something
even
a
painted
Square
on
the
ground
to
tell
them
where
the
target
is
it's
really
hard
to
get
any
more
compliance
than
we
have.
H
Currently,
we
have
61
compliance
within
Hub
parking,
which
is
actually
amazing,
but
it
still
can
be
messy,
because
it's
an
entire
block
is
the
Hub
as
opposed
to.
If
we
had
a
Target
area,
which
was
like
a
12
foot
square
or
one
parking
space
or
anything
like
that.
Additionally,
all
of
our
hubs
are
on
the
sidewalk
and
we
don't
want
people
to
ride
on
the
sidewalk,
and
so
why
are
we
sending
them?
H
The
message
that
we
don't
want
you
to
ride
on
this
side,
but
when
you're
done
bring
your
bike
on
the
sidewalk
and
then
every
time
they
go
to
start
a
trip.
Where
are
they
standing,
they're
standing
on
the
sidewalk?
And
so
if
we
had
on
Street
Corrals
or
some
kind
of
space,
there's
one
more
slide.
If
you
want
to
get
to
the
end
of
that,
just
there's
a
million
options
of
how
to
do
this.
H
Some
are
fancy
and
nice
and
some
buildings
and
restaurants
want
to
make
them
awesome
and
some
just
want
to
like
paint
a
square
on
the
ground
and
any
one
is
fine.
They
all
do
the
same
job,
which
is
getting
bikes
off
the
sidewalks.
In
general
and
people
really
know
that,
if
this
is
the
Corral
that
they
need
to
park
in
the
bike
will
be
in
there,
it
won't
be
the
sideways
five
feet
away
or
anywhere
else,
because
they'll
they'll
want
to
be
compliant
so
yeah.
So
that's
just
how
that
that
that
goes.
H
We
had
talked
with
Aaron
Cudahy
a
little
bit
about
targeting
a
few
spaces
downtown
that
may
or
may
not
be
available
as
to
to
try
like
sort
of
like
a
pilot,
to
see
what
we
could
do
or
if
we
could
get
a
few
spots
and
build
a
few
things
or
even
just
paint
some
lines
and
not
worry
about
it
in
the
winter,
and
do
it
again
in
the
spring
or
come
up
with
a
plan
start
in
the
spring
like
something
as
to
further
solidify
the
visuals
of
how
to
park
correctly
and
perfectly.
H
So
any
other
questions
or
anybody
have
anything
else
that
they
wanted
to
add
or
ask.
E
I
have
two
Jeff
one:
can
you
give
us
a
sense,
I'm
glad
to
see
the
plan,
for
you
know
further
deployment
of
bikes?
What's
the
lifespan
of
a
bike,
it's.
H
A
great
question,
so
the
lifespan
of
the
bike
is
directly
proportionate
to
the
total
number
of
trips
that
it
takes
right,
and
so
our
our
number
one
bike
bike
number
57
has
already
700
trips
on
it,
and
so,
if
you
think
about
that
for
a
second,
if
it
was
your
bike,
that
would
be
like
basically
riding
it
every
single
day
for
two
hours
for
two
years
like
it
needs
it's
gonna
need
stuff,
and
so
we
do
regular
maintenance,
not
only
daily.
H
Every
bike
gets
seen
by
our
team
in
the
field,
but
then
we
bring
them
into
the
shop
when
they're
needed.
So
the
answer
to
the
question
of
the
lifespan
is
essentially
forever
as
long
as
we
can
continue
to
replace
the
parts
that
we
need
and
have
access
to
those
everybody's
heard
supply
chain
issues.
Sometimes
things
come
up
and
we
have
a
few
bikes
in
the
shop
right
now
that
need
new
rear
wheels
or
rear
wheels
getting
delivered
tomorrow.
H
It's
been
like
three
weeks,
and
so
we
have
like
seven
bikes
that
we
can't
use
until
the
park
comes
in,
and
so
you
can
fix
almost
every
aspect
of
them
and
continue
them
to
move
forward.
Ideally,
you
would
get
three
full
years
of
use
out
of
a
bike.
That's
what
our
like
depreciation
model
looks
like
great.
E
Thank
you
and
then
just
a
second
question:
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
with
the
new
deployments?
What
your
projected
trips
for
2024
will
look
like.
H
Yeah,
so
right
now,
on
an
average
day,
we
have
about
71
bikes
that
are
out
there,
and
so,
if
we're
putting
out
160
more
bikes,
we're
basically
going
up
about
130
percent,
and
we
believe
that
there's
probably
all
of
that
meat
on
the
bones,
and
by
that
I
mean
our
TVD,
won't
go
down
that
much
we'll
still
be
at
two
or
three
trips
per
bike
per
day,
but
it
will
be
with
220,
bikes
or
230
bikes,
which
will
be
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
you
know,
600
to
800
trips
a
day.
H
We
had
a
couple
days
that
we
hit
880
rides
in
the
in
the
fall
and
days
that
we
we're
averaging
650
trips
a
day
for
long
stretches
of
time,
months
of
months
upon
months,
so
we
it's
all
there
and
we
just
need
to
be
able
to
provide
that
service.
As
with
every
transportation
service.
Reliability
is
key.
What
makes
buses
work
is
that
you
know
when
they're
going
to
come.
What
makes
Uber
work
is
that
you
look
at
your
phone,
you
see
when
it's
coming.
H
If
you
want
to
ride
a
bike
and
you
can't
get
one,
it's
not
very
reliable,
and
so
until
there's
really
enough,
people
can
really
Buy
in
and
know
that
it's
going
to
be
available.
It
can't
be
like
a
choice
that
you
make
all
the
time
for
everybody,
so
we
really
want
to
be
able
to
get
to
that
level
and
and
potentially
there's
more
than
lime
ever
did
more
people
know
about
bikes
here
now
than
they
did
five
years
ago,
it's
much
more
like
accepted
around
the
world.
H
We
I
get
almost
no
questions
about
how
it
works.
Everybody
knows
how
it
works,
and
so
I
think
that
we're
gonna
you
know
over
the
next
few
years,
hopefully
build
up
to
the
point
where
we'll
get
to
a
level
we'll
say:
okay,
today
we
had
400
bikes
out
and
we
only
had
399
rides.
So
that's
like
a
that's
like
a
limit
and
because
we're
so
flexible
in
terms
of
our
daily
deployments,
it's
going
to
snow
tomorrow,
we
can
bring
50
bikes
in.
H
E
J
I'm,
just
I'm,
assuming
the
answer
is
yes,
but
you
have
the
facilities
to
safely
deal
with
that
many
more
batteries
yeah.
It's
a
great
question.
Thank
you
very.
H
Much
we
have
built
where
our
shop
is.
We
have
built
a
battery
charging
facility
that
is
capable
of
charging
60
batteries
at
one
time,
which
is
be
good
for
about
200
bikes.
H
It's
going
to
be
a
little
slow
once
we
get
above
200
bikes
on
the
regular,
but
we
can
only
you
can
only
have
so
much
capacity
to
do
that
in
a
safe
Manner
and
we
have
the
Ithaca
fire
chief,
come
down
and
oversee
our
system
and
make
sure
everything
was
code
and
we
had
it
installed
professionally
and
everything
is,
is
really
great,
plus
I've
been
at
in
Bike
Share
for
many
years
and
I've
set
up
dozens
of
warehouses
around
the
country
with
these
systems,
and
so
I
have
a
ton
of
experience
doing
it,
and
we
have
a
really
great
just
a
really
great
system
that
works
really
well,
and
so
the
batteries
are
removable.
H
H
And
so
that's
why
this
is
such
a
data
driven
business.
We
look
at
that
on
the
daily
and
we
see
how
many
bikes
were
out,
how
many
rides
there
were,
and
then
we
can
make
those
decisions
whenever
we
need
to
803
cascadilla
Street,
which
is
the
Enterprise
Rent-A-Car
building,
but
we
have
the
whole
back
section
of
that
building.
That's
the
CCT
headquarters,
bike,
walk
Tompkins
and
Ithaca
bike
share.
Thank.
A
K
D
I've
used
it
in
the
past
to
after
a
common
council
meeting
to
get
up
the
hill
and
so
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
who
either
don't
have
a
license,
don't
drive
can't
drive.
D
You
know
feel
this
is
an
accessibility
need
that's
met
by
you,
guys
and
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
service.
I
look
forward
to
using
and
and
seeing
continue
here
in
the
city.
D
Before
I
do
move
it,
there
has
been
a
dialogue
between
council
members
about
revisions
made,
and
we
have
a
a
new
version
of
a
draft,
and
so
I'd
like
to
ask
the
committee
specifically
the
chair.
If
they
feel
it's
appropriate
that
we
read
the
resolution
as
it
is
first
and
then
make
a
motion
to
amend
it
with
the
new
language
or
begin
with
the
amended
language
and
just
take
a
have.
A
discussion.
Vote
on
that.
So.
E
Procedurally,
you
have
to
move
the
resolution
in
the
packet.
However,
you
do
not
have
to
read
that
entire
thing.
You
can
move
the
resolution
as
written
and
then,
if
you
are
yourself
offering
an
amendment
or
if
or
if
it's
friendly
to
you
yeah,
you
can
read
that
in
in
full
sure.
D
So
currently
I
will
read.
I
will
move
the
motion
as
written.
D
Now
I
will
motion
to
to
make
to
read
an
amended
language,
please
to
draft
resolution
declaring
the
city
of
Ithaca
a
safe
haven
for
gender,
affirming
Health
Care
by
supporting
New
York
State
Bill
s247,
slash
a6046,
whereas
in
June
2023
Governor
hokel
signed
legislation
protecting
persons
seeking
gender,
affirming
medical
and
psychological
care
in
New
York
state.
Our
state
is
now
one
of
12
states.
D
Affirming
care
in
New
York
state
prohibit
issuers
of
medical
malpractice
insurance
from
taking
action
against
Health,
Care
Providers
solely
because
that
provider
offers
gender
affirming
care
where
at
and
whereas
21
states
have
banned
or
limited
gender.
Affirming
care
for
minors,
exasperating
the
Despair
and
alienation
of
those
patients
and
their
families.
D
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
of
Ithaca
endorses
and
supports
the
New
York
state
law,
protecting
access
to
gender,
affirming
care
to
minors
and
adults.
We
are
grateful
to
state
senator
Leah,
Webb
and
state
assemblywoman
Anna
Kellis,
for
co-sponsoring
this
bill
in
the
New
York
assembly.
D
Seeking
information
about
our
extradition
of
clients
seeking
or
practitioners
offering
lawful
care
reaffirm
that
gender
expression
or
identity
is
not
grounds
for
discrimination
against
people
seeking
housing,
employment
or
access
to
services
in
the
city
of
Ithaca
and
finally,
that
in
in
the
event,
any
law
or
regulation
is
passed
in
New
York
state
that
imposes
criminal
punishment,
civil
liability,
administrative
penalties
or
professional
sanctions
on
a
person
for
providing
seeking,
receiving
or
assisting
another
person
who
is
seeking
gender.
Affirming
Health
Care
City
personnel
will
make
enforcement
of
said
law
or
regulation
their
lowest
priority.
I
move
azereth.
E
Thank
you
is
that
friendly
Donna,
okay,
all
right,
so
the
language
on
the
table
is
the
amended
language
that
Jorge
just
read:
I'll
open
it
up
for
discussion,
Jorge
I.
D
Mean
I'll
just
start
off
with
discussion
by
thanking
my
colleague,
older
person,
Donna
Fleming,
for
help
in
in
revisions
to
the
draft
for
the
resolution,
tightening
up
the
language
and
providing
some
context
on
somewhere,
as
is
that
I
think,
are
very
beneficial
and
provide
some
more
clarity
on
on
this
resolution.
D
I
think,
as
we
heard
from
public
comment
today,
this
is
a
very
important
issue
for
people
in
our
community,
but
also
people
who
might
be
coming
to
our
community
for
refuge
and
so
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
consider
it
and
and
I.
Thank
you
Donna
for
your
help
on
this
matter
and
to
the
folks
in
ppgny
who
have
helped
with
this
as
well.
B
Well,
you're
welcome
and
I
preached
that,
and
it
was
a
pleasure
working
on
this
I
I
learned
quite
a
bit
in
reading
about
the
New
York
state
law
and
I'm
pleased
that
the
New
York
State
Assembly
once
again
showed
some
good
judgment
and
vision
and
compassion
and
so
I'm
pleased
that
we
came
to
to
this
wording
and
was
pleased
to
be
able
to
work
on
this.
E
None
move
to
a
vote,
all
those
in
favor
of
4.1
as
amended
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.

George
is
our
second
seconded
by
Donna.
I
know
Peggy
is
on
zoom
in
case
there
are
any
questions.
Any
discussion
from
colleagues
or
any
questions.
E
I
will
also
just
note.
She
gave
an
excellent
presentation.
Well,
I
think
it
was
last
week
on
Zoom,
so
George.
I
Hi
Peggy,
so
what's
going
on
with
sidewalks
on
Cecil
a
Malone
Drive
and
Cherry
Street.
L
L
M
I
guess
I
wasn't
clear
what
the
question
was:
what
are
we
doing
with
she's
laying
alone
and
I'm?
Sorry,
I.
Don't
remember
off
top
my
head,
I!
Don't
have
the
plan
right
in
front
of
me
if
we've
programmed
funds
for
Cecil
a
Malone.
I
M
We've
got
the
sidewalks
in
on
the
new
bridge
and
we
included
them
with
the
railroad
for
the
railroad
crossing,
and
we
were
kind
of
thinking
that
more
development
would
be
scheduled,
particularly
on
the
north
side
of
the
street
west
of
the
bridge,
and
now
that
seems
to
be
maybe
more
in
question.
We're
not
really
sure
what
the
status
of
that
is.
So
we
decided
to
wait
a
little
bit
until
that
kind
of
settled
in
and
and
and
just
wait
until
we
have
a
better
sense
of
what's
going
on
with
more
development
down
there.
M
The
the
other
thing
is,
you
know,
until
we've
kind
of
have
a
streetscape
plan,
we're
a
little
hesitant
to
put
just
sidewalks
in,
without
really
understanding
a
better
sense
of
what
the
street
ought
to
look
like.
Do
we
want
Street
trees?
Do
we
need
to
move
curbs?
Do
we
need
to
do
anything
else
with
drainage
Etc,
so
we're
kind
of
hanging
out.
I
I
understand
that
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
there's
a
five-story
apartment
building
down
there
now
and
it's
a
half
a
mile
from
Wegmans
and
there's
no
sidewalks
in
between
and
I
get
a
lot
of.
Complaints
about
that.
M
Yeah
and
I
can
totally
appreciate
that
I
I
think
we
do
need
a
street
plan
for
sea
slate
Malone
and
for
Cherry
Street,
and
it's
not
really
clear
to
me
that
we
have
such
a
thing.
We
have
not
had
the
capacity
to
move
forward
with
that
from
my
office
this
past
year,
but
we
we
do
need
to
figure
that
out,
especially
because
it
doesn't
look
like
development's
done.
We
just
don't
really
know
exactly
what
the
next
step
is.
I
guess.
M
M
Be
a
more
general
fund,
expense
I
did
not
submit
it
for
a
capital
project
request.
Maybe
I
should
have
to
look
at
that,
but
yeah.
Let's
keep
talking,
let's
figure
out
how
we
can
move
that
forward.
Okay,.
L
No,
no,
it's
500
feet
linear
feet,
it's
running
from
the
Hector
Street
to
Chestnut
and
then
there'll
be
two
ramps
installed.
M
M
E
Further
comments
or
questions
from
colleagues
all
right,
seeing
none,
we
can
move
that
to
a
vote,
all
those
in
favor
of
5.2
those
opposed,
and
that
carries
four
to
one.
Thank
you,
Peggy
and
Tim.
E
J
0.3
2024
Water
and
Sewer
Service
connection
and
design
review
rates
resolution,
whereas
chapter
262-41
of
the
Ithaca
City
code,
authorizes
rate
adjustments,
Water
Service
connections,
sewer
rental
fees
and
special
fees,
and
whereas
staff
have
provided
recommended
rate
adjustments
for
Water
and
Sewer
Service
connection
applications
and
project
design.
Review
for
2024.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
adopts
the
following
rate:
changes
as
of
January
1st
2024
and
the
rates
are
effective
until
changed
basic
application
for
Water
and
Sewer
Service
connection.
E
Oh
and
perfect,
yeah
Scott,
so
is
there
any
sort
of
Preparatory
comments
you'd
like
to
share
here
perhaps
about
the
Decades
of
unchanged
fee.
N
I
always
have
comments.
How
are
you
doing
everybody?
Well,
as
as
the
resolution
is
put
on
the
table,
we're
talking
about
two
rate
changes.
One
is
a
a
rate
increase
that
we've
gone
back
in
time.
We
can't
find
any
historical
data
as
to
when
ten
dollars
per
service
application
was
set,
but
my
get
best
guess
is
post
World,
War
II,
so
we're
talking
1945
1946,
of
which
ten
dollars
back
then
was
worth
a
hundred
and
sixty
dollars
today.
N
So
our
proposal
is
to
increase
that
rate
to
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
Now
what
is
a
water
and
sewer
service
application?
There's
several
types.
It
is
essentially
the
beginning
of
a
permit
process
for
either
Water
and
Sewer,
install
a
water
and
sewer
abandonment
or
a
water
and
sewer
decommissioning,
and
the
decommissioning
is
defined.
Basically,
as
somebody
comes
into
our
office,
they
speak
to
our
receptionist.
They
fill
out
an
application.
The
receptionist
takes
ten
dollars
that
application
then
goes
to
the
meter
Department.
N
The
meter
Department
then
spends
some
administrative
time
talking
with
the
owner
about
why
they
want
to
decommission
their
service,
and
that
usually
involves
some
coordinated
scheduling
with
the
owner
to
go
and
physically
shut
the
water
off
at
the
curb
and
then
go
into
the
residence
and
pull
the
meter.
That
usually
is
done
for
a
water
transition.
You
know
a
service
transition,
such
as
a
real
estate
transaction.
N
The
problem
is,
with
a
lot
of
these
things
is
post
covet.
Nobody
wants
to,
let
you
in
their
house
so
a
lot
of
times.
The
meter
Department
ends
up,
calling
and
then
calling
again
and
and
not
getting
anywhere
with
the
schedule,
even
though
the
real
estate
office
might
in
fact
be
the
the
ones
who
start
the
application
process.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
administrative
burden
for
an
example
like
that,
the
others
are
a
physical
disconnection
of
service
or
a
physical
addition
of
service,
and
that
is
usually
somebody
that
comes
in.
N
They
fill
out
an
application
they
take.
We
take
ten
dollars,
the
receptionist
dispatches
that
to
the
Engineering
Group.
Who
then
look
at
the
the
you
know
the
layout
of
the
infrastructure
to
determine
if
there's
any
utilities
in
the
way
we
use
our
utility,
locating
team
to
go
out
and
put
markouts
out
in
the
pavement.
There
may
be
some
back
and
forth
administratively
with
the
owner
about
what
it
is
that
they
want.
Typically,
they
we
have
to
do
a
field
visit
or
you
know,
a
pre-survey
to
do
the
actual
activity.
N
So
there's
some
there's
some
running
around
and
then,
of
course,
there's
is
the
actual
construction,
which
means
digging
holes
in
the
street
and
tying
traffic
up,
and
you
know,
there's
a
there's
a
cost
to
the
construction,
of
course,
and
that's
not
what
we're
talking
about
tonight.
The
the
construction
is
typically
anywhere
from
three
thousand
to
five
thousand
dollars
for
a
regular
residential
service.
N
So
that's
not
a
cheap,
you
know
Endeavor
and
so
we're
looking
at
the
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
as
sort
of
incidental
to
something
like
that,
so
we're
constructing
whether
we
abandon
the
service
and
physically
disconnect
it
from
the
system
or
we're
adding
a
service.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
these.
Are
you
know?
Basically,
the
rate
increases
to
cover
the
administrative
burden
and
the
oversight
of
the
application
process.
N
The
second
that
we're
asking
for
is
a
design
review
fee.
Now
we
that
pretty
much
pertains
to
a
larger
construction
project-
let's
say
a
apartment,
complex
going
in
in
college
town
and
that's
tied
with
a
site
plan
review
process.
These
are
typically
larger
projects
that
demand
larger
Services.
There's
a
lot
of
back
and
forth.
There's
coordination,
there's
design
review
and
building
specification
review
with
the
Department.
N
We
may
meet
several
times
over
several
months
to
discuss
layout
capacity
issues
with
the
sewer
whether
they
have
adequate
pressure
for
service
and
fire
flow
and
there's
actually
a
lot
that's
entailed.
If
I
had
my
druthers
I
would
say
we
would
make
this
an
escalating
fee
based
on
Project
size,
but
all
we're
doing
is
we're
asking
for
250
dollars
for
a
basic
design
review
process,
and
just
you
know
just
to
throw
out
there
our
sister
municipalities,
such
as
the
town
of
Ithaca
for
one
the
county.
N
They
all
have
various
sliding
scales
for
design
review
fees.
You
can
go
on
their
website
and
check
them
out.
The
county,
for
instance,
has
a
fee
pretty
much
for
everything,
whether
it's
sampling
permits
design
review
and
these
these
rates
go
anywhere
from
hundreds
of
dollars
to
thousands
of
dollars.
So
you
know
we're
basically
saying
that
we
don't
think
that
the
two
costs
are
completely
unreasonable
in
2023.
B
So
why
did
you
settle
on
the
250
flat
rate
instead
of
the
sliding
scale
that
would
be
more
commensurate
with
the
work
entailed?
That's
one
question,
and
then
you
said
something
about
there
being
a
three
or
four
thousand
dollar
construction
expense
clarify
what
you
meant
by
that
is
that
who
that's
borne
by
the
property
owner
is.
N
That
right,
yeah,
yeah
first
question
is
the
250
design
review.
We
would
need
to
build
an
administrative
component
around
some
of
this.
A
flat
fee
is
certainly
easier
to
charge.
We
can
certainly
move
into
a
sliding
scale
in
the
future.
N
There'd
have
to
be
a
big
a
bit
of
a
more
administrative
component
for
a
sliding
scale,
based
on
our
recommendation
by
the
plumbing
inspector,
for
instance,
a
lot
of
the
sliding
skills
based
on
the
number
of
what
in
the
plumbing
Trader
called
water,
closets
and
layman's
terms
are
bathrooms,
so
the
number
of
water
closets,
for
instance,
for
an
apartment,
complex,
might
be
200
and
that
sliding
scale
would
be
based
on
the
number
of
of
of
services
to
to
that
building
or-
and
so
it's
a
good
question
and
it's
one
that
we
definitely
could
consider.
N
The
second
is
you
asked
about
the
construction
fees
so
the
way
the
city
law
works?
Is
that
there's
several
several
reasons
for
back
charging
the
owner?
The
owner
owns
the
actually
the
entire
line,
from
the
main
to
the
the
dwelling
until
the
the
line
from
the
main
to
the
curb
is
modernized
from,
say,
a
steel
or
a
lead
service
to
Copper.
Once
it's
modernized
to
Copper
any
work,
that's
done
on
that
copper
is
now
City
owned
and
City
maintained.
N
That
said,
these
applications
are
for
install
or
removal,
and
so
anytime
somebody
is
forcing
the
public
right
away
to
to
be
opened
up.
That
cost
is
then
borne
by
the
owner,
doesn't
matter
if
it's
copper
or
anything
that
that
would
naturally
fall
on
the
owner's
responsibility.
B
This
is
not
a
question
for
Scott;
it
might
better
be
a
question
for
our
chief
of
staff.
Would
it
are
we
undergoing
any
kind
of
systematic
review
of
all
the
fees
that
the
city
charges
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
decades-long
oversight
again
in
something
like
this.
O
This
has
come
up
in
like
seven
meetings
in
the
midwest
week,
especially
with
having
to
make
a
whole
bunch
of
adjustments
to
this
agenda,
knowing
that
some
of
the
fees
that
they
wanted
to
change
in
the
building
department
that
whole
legislative
equivalency
issue.
Not
only
is
it
that
we
don't
review
our
fees,
often
enough
that
they
are
all
in
different
places
and
have
to
be
changed
different
ways,
so
some
of
them
need
ordinances.
Some
of
them
can
just
be
done
by
resolution.
O
Some
of
them
can
just
be
changed
administratively
and
don't
have
a
need
to
go
to
council
and
they're
all
over
the
place.
So,
yes,
we're
gonna
undergo
like
I,
would
say
a
real,
comprehensive.
Look
at
that.
I'm,
not
sure
anything
will
happen
with
that
next
year,
but
you
could
many.
Other
municipalities
have
gone
to
a
fee
schedule
that
is
integrated
as
part
of
the
city's
budget
process.
O
So
that's
what
I
would
recommend,
and
that
could
be
something
that
next
Council
next
mayor,
whoever
the
city
manager
is,
takes
a
look
at
and
they're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
changes
to
the
budget
process.
So
it
would
be
a
good
time
to
take
a
look
at
that.
So
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
would
have
to
happen.
You'd
have
to
do
like
a
scrub
of
the
current
city
code
and
Charter
to
figure
out
where
all
the
fees
are
that
are
in
there
and
then
look
at
you
know.
O
Can
they
be
pulled
out
and
then
baked
into
the
budget
process
and
then
what
you
could
have
departments
do
is
every
year
when
they
submit
their
budget.
They
also
submit
a
fee
review.
You
know,
do
the
do
the
fees,
but
that
is
a
little
bit
more
work
than
I
think
we're
ready
to
tackle
for
this
year,
specifically
because
we've
got
so
much
just
general
change
in
the
form
of
government
coming,
but
it's
on
it's
on
the
list.
O
I
would
say
higher
on
the
list
of
things
to
do
for
next
year,
but
it's
a
very
good
question
and
one
that
I've
had
a
lot
of
newer
people
in
some
new
positions
and
they're
coming
on
and
asking
a
lot
of
really
good
questions
and
then
a
secondary
question
will
be.
What
do
we
do
about
accepting
credit
cards,
and
is
it
time
to
do
like
a
cost
benefit
analysis
of
do
departments?
O
So
that's
another
conversation
that
needs
to
be
added
into
the
because
of
the
to
the
discussion
about
fees
and
what
we're
charging,
especially
if
we're
moving
to
open
gov,
to
do
more,
permitting
and
accepting
that
it's
more
likely
that
people
are
going
to
want
to
use
that
credit
card,
but
they're
not
likely
to
want
to
pay
that
fee,
even
how
small
it
is.
So
we
need
to
look
at
our
fees,
not
only
in
adjusting.
Are
they
appropriate,
but
are
they
also,
including,
and
not?
O
E
A
E
For
our
next
Resolute
for
our
next
item,
I
would
also
just
direct
colleagues
to
the
email
just
surfaced
by
the
chief
of
staff.
We
do
need
to
I.
Think
procedurally
I
think
it's
fine
for
us
to
move
this.
E
Oh
I'm,
sorry!
Yes,
there
is
jumping
ahead
of
myself.
So
can
I
get
a
mover
for
5.4
I.
Think
thank
you.
Donna.
B
I
can't
get
my
angle
straight.
All
right,
5.4,
ordinance,
amending
Ithaca,
City
code,
chapter
262-41
rates
in
terms
of
payment,
whereas
chapter
262-41
authorizes
the
determination
and
position
of
rates
and
fees
for
water,
service
connections
and
consumption,
sewer,
rental
fees,
special
fees
and
charges
for
hydrant
service
and
whereas
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Ithaca
desires
to
amend
chapter
2
6241
of
the
Ithaca
code
to
include
a
fee
for
project
design
review,
along
with
minor
language
changes.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
and
enacted
by
the
common
Council
section.
B
E
Seeing
none
those
in
favor
of
5.4
and
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Colleagues.
Thanks
again,
Scott.
E
So
the
next
item
in
the
agenda
is
5.5.
It
does
appear
in
the
packet
as
5.4
as
well.
I
think
there's
just
a
typo,
but
this
is
the
thing
that
I
was
just
referencing,
so
the
who,
whoever
will
move
this
please
do
move
it
with
the
corrected
language
and
the
relevant
section
that
the
chief
of
staff
has
just
circulated.
So
may
I
have
a
mover
for
this.
Please.
O
O
You
have
to
show
the
actual
changes
that
are
being
made
to
the
legislative
language
and
for
some
reason,
when
it
got
turned
into
a
PDF
like
the
strikethroughs
and
the
other
pieces
didn't
come
through.
So
all
it
means
is
that
when
we
put
it
in
the
council
packet
you
you
just
have
to
actively
show
it
did
say
this
and
now
it
says
this
when
all
you
have
in
your
packet
was
just
what
the
future
language
will
be,
but
what
we
should
have
provided
was
what
it
looks
like
now
with
the
visible
changes
to
it.
E
Thank
you
Deb.
Would
someone
like
to
move
5.5
please.
B
But
I'm
confused
because
it's
showing
I
know
I
just
lost
my
place.
Darn.
B
E
Thank
you,
Donna
seconded
by
Jorge
and
perfect
Rob
is
here
so
Rob.
Can
you
give
us
just
a
quick
Preparatory
comment
on
the
changes
proposed
here
before
we
open
it
up
for
discussion.
C
Okay,
the
base
fee
that
the
city
charges
for
a
building
point
is
35
for
building
from
an
application.
That
Base
fee
covers
costs
of
construction
up
to
five
thousand
dollars.
C
That
is
not
a
sufficient
fee
that
is
being
generated
to
cover
the
administrative
costs,
the
the
labor
costs
associated
with
taking
in
a
permit
application,
doing
a
code
review
or
permit
review,
administering
the
permits,
doing
the
inspection
and
closing
out
the
permit.
Oh,
the
intent
is
that
all
of
the
fees
are
being
upgraded
to
more
accurately
or
at
least
get
us
moving
in
the
right
direction
of
accommodating
the
expenses
incurred
by
our
department
to
administer
these
permits.
C
I
did
a
comparison
with
about
eight
other
municipalities
in
the
area.
The
base
fee
ranged
from
35
to
75,
and
so
Ithaca
was
the
lowest
with
thirty
five
dollars,
the
average
of
all
of
those
departments.
All
of
those
municipalities,
the
average
base
fee,
was
fifty
dollars.
So
that
was
my
proposal
to
do
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
raise
the
base
feed
of
fifty
dollars.
It
would
still
cover
construction
costs
up
to
five
thousand
dollars.
C
The
next
change
would
be
to
go
to
a
sliding
scale
where
the
percent
of
total
valuation
of
work
changes
based
on
the
dollar
amount
for
the
construction
cost,
starting
with
the
highest
percent
at
one
percent
of
the
total
valuation
for
projects
costing
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
then
sliding
down
to
zero
point.
Seven
percent
of
the
total
valuation
of
work
for
projects
that
are
over
five
million
dollars
and
at
the
moment
that
0.7
percent
is
what
we
are
charging
now.
C
It's
in
other
words,
seven
dollars
per
thousand,
but
with
a
sliding
scale,
I
I,
think
it's
more
accurately,
reflecting
or
or
repositioning
the
income
for
the
fees
based
on
the
level
of
work
involved
to
administer
those
smaller
permits.
C
C
The
credit
card
service
charge
that
is
assessed
by
opengov
is
based
on
a
percentage
of
the
fee
amount.
So
I
was
trying
to
align
with
that,
rather
than
having
the
applicant
figure
out.
What
the
cost
per
thousand
is
they
they
would
have
to
right
now
they
would
have
to
raise
their
cost
amount
to
the
nearest
one
thousand
dollars
and
then
charge.
We
would
charge
seven
dollars
per
thousand
under
this
setup.
It
would
be
just
a
straight
percentage
of
the
valuation
of
work.
C
There
will
be
no
rounding
up
to
the
nearest
one
thousand
dollars
and
that
would
also
align
with
how
the
the
charge
card
administrative
fee
would
be
assessed
is
basically
a
percentage
of
the
cost
so
just
trying
to
just
basically
trying
to
streamline
how
the
permit
applications
are
moving
forward
through
up
and
gov,
and
trying
to
align
the
costs
for
lower
cost
projects
to
better
reflect
what
the
actual
services
are
involved
for.
Those
permits.
E
Thanks
so
much
Rob,
so
with
that
colleagues,
any
comments
or
questions
George.
B
I
Yeah,
so
you've
made
adjustments
based
on
credit
card
fees.
C
There
is,
there
is
still
the
option
to
walk
into
City,
Hall
and
pay
by
check
or
money
order.
That
option
is
still
available
and
some
people
will
choose
that
option
be
most
likely
because
they
do
not
want
to
pay
the
associated
credit
card
fee.
So
those
options
are
available.
This
this
sliding
scale
again.
This
was
an
attempt
to
try
to
recoup
some
of
the
costs
for
administering
permits
for
the
lower
cost
projects.
C
Again,
if,
if
the
project
came
in
at
five
million
or
more,
there
will
be
no
change
in
the
fee,
because
right
now
we're
currently
charging
seven
dollars
per
thousand
for
any
project.
It's
just
the
smaller
projects
which
we
have
plenty
of
them,
I'd,
say
probably
75
percent
of
the
projects
that
we
get
the
permit
applications
that
we
get
have
a
cost
of
less
than
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
So
it's
those
smaller
projects.
Yes,
the
the
fee
will
be
increased
because
it's
a
one
percent
or
a
point.
Nine
percent
of
the
valuation
of
the
work,
but
that
will
more
accurate,
accurately
reflect
the
amount
of
effort
involved
in
administering
those
permits.
C
Not
not
necessarily
a
bigger
job
but
they're,
there's
just
as
much
as
administrative
paperwork
involved,
whether
it's
a
large
project
or
a
small
project,
sometimes
we're
we're
actually
repeating
inspections.
C
So
so
there
there's
double
effort
involved
during
the
construction
and
inspection
phase,
sometimes
we're
working
hand
in
hand
with
either
the
owner
or
the
contractor
to
resolve
some
issues
because
they
might
not
have
a
design
team
on
on
board
like
the
larger
projects
would
have
so
there's
just
for
for
the
scale
of
the
project,
there's
just
a
a
a
larger
amount
of
effort
involved.
C
Well,
at
this
point,.
C
The
larger
projects
historically
have
brought
a
large,
a
quite
sizable
amount
of
income
to
the
city,
which
far
exceeds
the
effort
involved,
and
essentially,
the
large
projects
are
currently
subsidizing.
Our
expenses
of
involved
for
the
small
projects.
C
E
Thanks
Rob
Donna.
B
C
Well,
the
the
fee
that
the
building
division
charges
is
the
same.
It's
the
additional
service
fee
that
is
assessed
through
opengov,
and
that
is
basically
you
can
call
it
a
convenience
fee,
because
somebody
could
apply
for
the
application
at
11
59
pm.
C
When
our
office
is
closed,
they
could
do
their
application
online
and
pay
for
it
and
we
would
go
in
the
next
morning
and
boom.
There's
a
permit
application.
The
fees
been
paid.
You
know
it's,
it's
really
a
convenience
fee
that
they
are
paying
it.
It's
not
something
assessed
by
the
building
division.
It's
only
assessed
by
opengov
for
processing
online
payments.
I
C
You
we
always.
We
always
welcome
the
public
to
come
to
our
office
and
go
through
the
permit
application
process,
and
if
they
want
to
still
do
that,
that's
fine.
We
just
know
that,
whether
it's
Cornell
or
some
of
the
larger
construction
projects
they
would
rather
just
you
know,
go
online
and
get
it
done
with
and
and
not
even
half
bother
with
coming
downtown.
E
E
Thank
you
rob
thank
you
for
item
six
on
the
agenda.
There
is
nothing
submitted
for
city
manager
transition,
so
I'll
just
take
this
opportunity
to
remind
colleagues
that
the
mayor's
office
has
requested
any
additional
changes
or
comments
written.
Please
submit
it
in
advance
of
our
next
discussion,
which
I
believe
is
the
September
6th
council
meeting.
E
O
Yeah
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
remind
everybody
that
we
have
this
entity,
which
is
new
with
CJC
headed
by
Mona
latest
Smiley,
and
she
is
actually
employee
of
the
county
and
the
city.
This
is
a
joint
Department
that
is
working
on
implementing
The,
Joint,
City
and
County
pieces
of
the
reimagining
process,
so
we're
still
kind
of
trying
to
work
out
exactly
what's
the
best
way
to
flow
information,
because
oftentimes,
the
county
and
the
city
are
on
different
budget
schedules
and
different
meeting
schedules.
O
O
She
made
this
presentation
to
the
public
safety
Committee
of
the
county
I
believe
last
week
or
was
intending
to
do
that
last
week
and
then,
since
we
already
had
scheduled
her
to
give
an
update
to
you
at
the
September
13th
special
meeting
with
the
work
plan
and
just
to
kind
of
review
where
things
stand
with
the
CJC,
we
didn't
think
it
made
sense
for
her
to
come
here
and
to
that
meeting
next
month.
So
you're
getting
the
information
at
the
same
time
that
the
Public
Safety
Committee
of
the
county
did.
O
But
you
can
ask
Mona
any
questions
about
what
this
is
and
then
you'll
get
the
Fuller
picture
of
the
work
plan
and
how
it
kind
of
works
with
the
County's
budget
process
and
the
city's
budget
process.
So
nothing
to
do
with
this,
just
making
sure
you
had
it.
At
the
same
time,
the
county
legislators
did.
E
Thank
you
Deb.
Any
quick
questions
for
Deb
on
this.
No
all,
right
with
that
I
will
see
any
announcements
that
colleagues
want
to
share.
E
No
I
will
just
say,
happy
Independence
Day
to
Ukraine,
which
it
is
not
in
our
time
zone,
but
it
is
theirs,
so
hope
they
have
a
lovely
Independence
Day
George
did
you
have
an
announcement.
E
You
have
until
September
27th
our
next
meeting
to
come
up
with
that
joke
and
in
that
case,
I
will
now
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
move
by
Jorge
seconded
by
Chris,
all
those
in
favor
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you,
colleagues.
Thank
you,
the
public,
thank
you.
Staff
oops.
