A
All
right
great,
so
we
will
get
started
here.
Our
first
city
administration
committee,
meeting
of
2021,
so
welcome
just
asking.
If
we
have
any
adjustments
to
the
agenda,
anything
needed.
A
B
Just
to
let
you
know
the
item
3.2,
so
the
approval
of
the
single
audit.
I
think
if
it's
okay
with
committee,
the
report's
not
quite
ready
yet
so
I
was
hoping
to
push
that
just
to
the
to
the
council
meeting.
Okay
yeah,
so.
B
A
I
totally
understand:
that's
no
problem
all
right.
We
still
don't
see.
George,
I
guess
we
can
approve
the
minutes.
Thank
you
denise,
as
usual
for
your
fabulous
minutes.
Does
someone
want
to
move
the
minutes?
A
A
I
did
not
have
any
statements
from
the
public
emailed
through
the
portal
and
I
did
not
have
anyone
sign
up
for
public
comment
this
evening.
I
just
didn't
know
if
anybody
else
had
any
comments
that
they
had
received
in
this
coveted
land.
We
try
to
make
sure
we
read,
you
know
what
we
may
have
received,
but
I
have
not
received
anything
anybody
else
from
the
committee
have
a
public
comment.
A
Okay,
we
don't
have
any
items
on
consent,
so
we
can
move
right
into
our
voting
items
for
this
evening
and
I'm
looking

D
A
A
Thank

Thank

I
think
the
only
one
wasn't
here
when
we
talked
about
3.2
was
george.
Just
to
let
everybody
know
the
audit
isn't
ready
yet
so
we're
going
to
just
do
the
the
discussion
and
presentation
and
voting
of
that
at
the
council
meeting
right,
steve.
A
G
This
is
the
authorization
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
reach
project
inc
to
establish
a
pilot
project
for
the
lead
program
within
the
city
of
ithaca,
whereas
in
2016
the
city
released
the
ithaca
plan,
a
comprehensive
set
of
recommendations
to
address
the
opioid
crisis
and
substance
abuse
generally
within
the
city
of
ithaca,
and
whereas
our
key
recommendation
of
the
ithaca
plan
included
establishing
a
local
law
enforcement,
assisted
diversion
or
lead
program.
G
Modeled
after
programs
like
the
lead
program
in
seattle,
washington
and
intended
to
divert
people
convicted
of
jailable
offenses
to
substance,
abuse
treatment
and
whereas
the
city
and
other
stakeholders
have
continued
to
work
toward
the
goal
of
establishing
a
local
lead
program.
But
its
development
has
been
limited
by
funding
and
whereas,
in
2020,
in
response
to
a
federal
department
of
justice,
grant
solicitation
for
comprehensive
opioid
stimulant
and
substance
abuse,
site-based
program,
the
reach
project
inc,
an
ithaca-based
non-profit
harm
reduction.
Medical
practice
submitted
a
proposal
to
secure
funding
to
establish
the
ithaca
lead
program.
G
And
whereas,
in
addition
to
employing
the
case
management
staff
needed
to
support
the
lead
program,
the
reach
project
shall
assist
city
staff
in
its
responsibilities.
To
submit
and
coordinate
data
for
grant
reporting
requirements.
And
the
city
shall
be
responsible
for
overall
administration
of
the
grant
and
ensuing
that.
G
Ensuring
that
the
grant
provisions
are
fulfilled
and
whereas
the
reach
project
and
the
city
will
be
responsible
for
each
organization's
respective
costs
of
the
lead
program
in
the
first
instance,
but
shall
submit
for
reimbursement
in
accordance
with
the
grant
requirements
in
terms
of
the
agreement
between
the
parties
and
whereas
the
lead
program
will
not
require
additional
city,
staffing
or
specifically
dedicated
city
resources.
At
this
time,
program
expenses
are
considered
part
of
the
city's
2021
budget
and
subject
to
reimbursement
in
accordance
with
the
grant
requirements
and
the
terms
of
the
agreement
with
the
reach
project.
A
I
s.
Oh
bye
mayor,
I
see
the
mayor
and
travis.
So
do
you
want
to
say
anything
first
about
it
before
we
open
the
floor
for
questions.
H
Sure
I'll,
let
I'll
let
travis
say
a
few
words,
but
I
just
want
to
appreciate
everything.
Travis
and
his
team
in
the
reach
team
themselves
did
to
help
us
assemble
this
grant
and
bring
home
a
million
dollars
to
to
make
this
project
happen.
It
is
becoming
clearer
in
our
you
know,
as
it
says
in
the
resolution.
H
It's
been
from
its
inception
in
seattle,
it's
been
tried
successfully
in
several
other
cities,
including
not
far
from
here
in
albany,
and
it
is
where,
in
this
work
is
we're
now
knee
deep
in
the
process
of
reimagining
public
safety
to
find
solutions
that
are
pure
win
wins,
and
this
is
a
win-win,
and
then
it
gives
a
a
more
sensitive,
more
culturally
appropriate
approach
to
restorative
justice
and
getting
people
back
on
the
right
track,
while
also
giving
our
police
department
more
tools
and
taking
some
of
their
workload
off
their
plates.
H
Now
most
of
the
solutions
we
look
at
are
not
such
clear
win
wins,
but
this
one
was:
what
was
the
only
lose
is
that
we
didn't
have
the
money
for
the
program
and
travis
and
his
team
took
turned
that
into
a
win
as
well.
So
here.
I
J
The
mayor,
pretty
much
summed
it
up.
The
program
is
a
long
time
coming
to
the
community.
It
took
a
lot
of
work
to
get
here
a
few
years
ago,
when
we
did
our
first
rfp.
We
worked
out
a
lot
of
the
issues.
A
lot
of
the
roadblocks
got
our
key
stakeholders
involved.
J
We
actually
in
the
last
week,
have
finalized
and
got
our
mou
signed
between
all
the
stakeholders.
So
we
have
everybody
committed
at
the
table.
Still
I've
been
I've
met
with
folks
like
mike
ellis
from
children
and
family
services,
to
see
how
the
see
how
we
could
really
collaborate
with
the
the
caseworker
program.
The
outreach
program
there
dennis
and
I
are
trying
to
work
out
whatever
roadblocks
we
have
with
the
pd
to
keep
them
involved
from
john
barbour
to
pete
to
dennis
the
chiefs
of
chiefs
has
always
been
on
board.
J
I
know
that
the
department
is
going.
Some
do
some
rough
times
right
now,
but
dennis
is
committed
to
make
lead
happen
before
he
leaves.
We
have
some
meetings
coming
up
next
week,
but
what
I
don't
know
what
you
I
guess
it
would
be:
deputy
chief,
monticello,
myself
and
dennis-
and
I'm
gonna
do
some
conversations
with
some
of
the
folks
from
the
pd
about
what
lead
is
and
why
it's
important,
and
so
it's
just
a
really
exciting
time
to
get
this
thing
happening.
A
C
J
The
caseworkers
and
case
manager
will
be
housed
at
the
reach
building,
but
the
idea
of
lead
in
the
case
work
is
that
the
workers
go
to
where
the
people
are
so
very
rarely
are
there
going
to
be
appointments
in
office?
Very
rarely
are
people
going
to
be
coming
to
the
building
the
caseworkers
go
to
where
folks,
where
they
are,
they
meet
them
where
they
are,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
reach
has
been
doing
well,
especially
with
kovic.
So
that's
that
that's
that's
the
idea
of
it.
F
Hi
travis.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
on
this.
So
the
it's
for
three
years
right
and
each
year
looks
like
it's
300
000
115
goes
to
reach
to
support
the
their
outreach
person
and
the
city
takes
in
185
000
of
that
for
organizational
stuff
and
meeting
the
reporting
demands
of
the
grant
right.
J
J
There
is
money
to
fund
the
project
manager
and
the
the
community
engagement
worker.
Those
two
positions
are
housed
at
giac
and
then
there's
money
for
the
mandatory
trainings
and
supplies
and
things
of
that
nature.
K
I'm
good
this
is
terrific
and
I
think
it's
great
that
you
got
the
grant
and
we're
moving
along.
I
think
it's
wonderful.
I'm
curious.
I
think
the
answer
to
this
is
yes,
but
I
want
to
clarify
clients
who
are
not
abusing
substances
are
will
also
be
eligible.
Is
that
right.
J
Yeah,
so
let
me
explain
just
so
everybody
is
is
and
us
on
the
same
page.
The
idea
of
lead
is
to
work
with
folks
that
are
experiencing,
that
that
are
involved
in
crimes
of
of
of
social
issues,
so
around
poverty,
addiction
and
mental
health,
so
would
have
found
that
folks,
that
are
dealing
with
one
of
those
three
issues,
some
folks
are
dealing
with.
All
three
at
the
same
time
tend
to
clog
up.
J
The
justice
system
tend
to
take
a
lot
of
time
away
from
officers
actually
dealing
with
crimes
that
are
are
more
crimes
that
are
greater
to
deal
with
for
folks
that
really
aren't
criminals.
These
are
folks
that
are
dealing
with
other
issues
and
find
themselves
engaged
in
activities
that
are
illegal
because
they
have
other
issues.
J
So
if
you
can
get
them
help
in
regards
to
those
other
issues,
if
you
take
a
a
21
year
old
18
year
old
kid
who
is
on
the
streets,
selling
20
bags
of
marijuana
right,
don't
really
want
to
be
out
there
to
get
caught
up
and
they
get
into
the
program
and
really
what
they
need
is
some
housing,
some
job
training,
some
employment
and
now,
instead
of
that
person,
ending
up
on
probation,
ended
up
violating
probation,
maybe
ending
up
in
prison,
maybe
end
up
in
day
reporting
for
years,
because
they
they
can't
pay
their
way
out
of
it.
J
J
Yeah,
so
you
it's
not
just
for
folks
who
are
dealing
with
heroin
issues,
addiction
issues.
We
know
some
of
us
in
this
room
know
folks
that
take
up
a
lot
of
ipd
time.
They
have
mental
health
issues
and
need
some
services,
and
it's
not
to
say
that
ithaca
doesn't
have
plenty
of
programs.
They
we
do,
but
not
every
program
fits
everybody's
needs.
Otherwise
we
wouldn't
have
these
issues
right.
It's
like
you
know
it's
like
education.
You
can't
teach
our
kids
the
same.
J
D
Thanks
tim
hi
travis,
congratulations
to
you
and
the
team
for
securing
this
grant.
I
know
you
worked
a
lot
on
it.
My
question
I
guess
similar
to
dachshunds,
so
I'm
one
of
the,
whereas
it
says
there's
no
additional
staffing
needed.
So
you
have
all
the
people,
these
program,
managers
and
everything
you
have
them
in
place
already
so
they're
ready
to
go
or
how
does
that?
How
is
that
gonna
work.
J
No,
so
what
happens
next
now
that
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
city
in
reach,
reach
is
going
to,
they
have
to
advertise
their
case
worker
the
two
case,
worker
positions
and
advertise
the
case
manager
position.
J
F
So
we
don't
know,
what's
going
to
come
out
of
the
the
academic
group
from
the
reimagining
effort
yet,
but
I
don't
know,
do
you
feel
like
it's
adaptable
to
any
kind
of
major
reforms
that
might
come
out
of
that
effort?.
J
My
hope
would
be
that
this
is
something
that's
in
I'm
on
a
to-do
list
right
to
establish
lead
in
a
community.
It
should
be
it's
something
that
is
already
here
and
can
be,
can
be
done
like
the
cool
thing
about
about
lead.
Is
this.
J
One
it's
what
it
does
for
for
the
clients
right,
but
but
two,
if
you
have
a
police
department,
any
police
department
in
this
country
officers
have
two
tools:
they
arrest
you
or
they
don't,
and
so,
when
I
went
to
seattle,
the
first
time
like
it
was
really
weird
for
me
to
be
in
a
room
with
nothing
but
officers
and
hear
about
a
program
that
the
officers
were
doing
for
the
community
until
I
sat
down
with
a
few
of
the
officers
and
they
started
talking,
and
these
officers
are
the
ones
that
jump
off
the
back
of
the
trucks
kicking
the
doors,
that's
what
they
started
with
and
they're.
J
So
when
an
officer
started
saying
that
the
thing
about
lead
for
him
was,
it
gave
him
compassion
and
policing,
it
allowed
him
a
different
tool
to
start
looking
at
people
who
we
knew
weren't
criminals,
but
he
had
to
treat
as
such
as
humans,
and
that
made
me
stop
and
pause,
and
I
was
kind
of
like
wow.
This
is
this
is
what
I
what
I
wanted
to
hear.
So
it's
a
win-win
situation
for
the
pd
in
the
community.
J
You
now
have
a
program
and
the
gateway
right
now
is
through
policing,
it's
through
officers
to
say
ducks
and
look
man.
I
know
you're
struggling
with
some
things.
I
got
a
program
for
you,
it's
called
lead.
This
is
what
it's
like.
Let
me
call
cevante
he's
one
of
the
outreach
workers
and
he
can
tell
you
more
about
the
program.
J
J
This
is
an
issue
in
this
community,
but
I
do
think
that
the
program
allows
for
ipd
to
be
seen
differently
to
be
engaged
differently
and
to
be
involved
differently.
I
think
it's
a
win.
So
if
the
reimagining
police
group
shelly
doesn't
put
this
on
the
list
of
things
to
do,
it
would
be
a
huge
missed
opportunity,
especially
it's
here,
the
funding's
here,
why?
Why
would
we
not
it's
a
definite
win
for
the
city,
the
police
department
and
the
community
from
day?
One.
F
Thanks
for
that,
and
thanks
for
walking
through
the
process
for
anyone,
who's
watching
who
doesn't
already
know
how
lead
works,
walking
through
exactly
what
happens
when
an
officer
encounters
that
situation.
Thank
you.
J
J
You
incorporate
lead
into
what
they're
already
doing
so,
if
I'm
a
lead
officer,
I'm
doing
my
regular
job
until
somebody
commits
a
crime
that
falls
into
the
categories
and
I
can
offer
them
lead.
So
if
ari's
another
officer
and
he's
like
hey
trav
you're
on,
I
got
a
situation
over
here
at
tops.
This
young
woman
was
shoplifting
she's.
She
doesn't
have
a
job.
She's
got
a
few
kids.
I
think
she'd
be
good
for
that
lead
program.
You're
always
talking
about.
I
can
come
over
and
take
over.
We
can
get
her
into
the
program.
J
I'm
not
like
on
lead
duty,
I'm
on
my
regular
duty,
and
I
know
I'm
trained
to
offer
lead
to
to
folks
and
once
you
fill
up
in
the
first
year,
you're
only
looking
at
40
to
50
clients.
So
once
you
fill
up,
then
you
don't
have
new
clients
coming
in
on
a
regular
basis,
because
you're
full
until
clients
leave
or
we
demonstrate
how
successful
the
program
is,
and
we
get
more

F
Thanks
lydia
for
asking
or
sorry
for
answering
my
last
minute
questions
about
the
the
revenue
that
we're
going
to
get
for
sharing
the
effluent
that
we
are
not
allowed
to
give
it
away
for
free
and
that
it
it
does
represent
the
opportunity
cost
for
the
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
for
it
to
want
to
do
its
own
energy
reclamation.
C
G
You're
welcome
george.
It
was
driven
by
cynthia
for
the
most
part
and.
D
Did
you
finish
or
yeah,
I'm
done?
Oh
okay!
So
I'm
just
looking
at
this
fee,
scott
or
cynthia.
So
this
this
is
an
annual
fee
that
there's
no
time
limit
on
that
or
is
there
a
specific
time
table
for
that
or
is
it
in
perpetuity.
L
The
fee
goes
for
the
duration
of
the
agreement,
which,
I
want
to
say,
is
about
40
years.
L
A
F
Yeah
I
want
to,
I
think
this
is
an
incredible
project
and
something
perfectly
in
line
with
our
green
redo
energy
goals.
But
do
you
know
a
fan
this
might
be
in
this
long
stuff,
but
offhand
how
much
energy
savings
they
expect
compared
to
you
know
traditional
electric
air
source
heat
pump.
L
Well,
the
I
haven't
calculated
it
in
terms
of
dollar
in
terms
of
wattage,
but
we
did
calculate
it
in
terms
of
cost
per
per
watt,
and
so
you
can
see
that
what
we
are
charging
is
essentially
just
15
of
the
the
energy
savings
that
they
are
receiving
by
using
effluent
source
heat
instead
of
air
source
heat
pumps.
L
And
if
you
consider
air
source
heat
pumps
to
be
kind
of
the
the
cadillac
in
terms
of
energy
efficiency,
you're,
getting
a
sense
of
the
the
really
fantastic
savings
in
terms
of
energy
that
they're
receiving
as
a
result
of
this
project.
You
know,
I
think,
when,
when
this
is
finally
approved
and
put
into
place,
people
across
the
nation
will
be
looking
to
this
project
as
as
a
source
of
inspiration
to
see
how
it
can
be
replicated
in
other
locations.
L
K
A
Nope
again,
thanks
so
much
for
all
your
work
on
this,
it
is
pretty
groundbreaking,
trailblazing,
etc.
So,
thanks
all
those
in
favor
and
that
carries
unanimously
excellent.

may

reimbursement
for

including
from

that

D
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
city's
mayor
director
of
human
resources
and
controller
shall
take
such
actions
as
they
deem
necessary
or
desirable
to
document
and
communicate
or
to
cause
the
administer
administrator
of
the
city's
plans
to
document
and
communicate
these
plans.
These
plan
amendments
to
employees
eligible
for
participation
in
the
plans
and
to
implement
the
foregoing
amendments
and
make
the
amendment
plan
features
available
to
employees
as
promptly
as
practical
and
iso
move.
A
A
Beginning
of
one
talks
about
2020
rolling
over
into
2021,
then
the
end
of
number
one
talks
about
2021
rolling
into
2022,
but
then
number
two
also
talks
about
2021
rolling
into
2022.
Right
right,
I
didn't
see
a
distinction
between
those
two
things.
Maybe
I
am
missing
something,
but
I'm
just
saying
as
a
friendly
amendment.
I
think
we
probably
we
either
don't
need
number
two
at
all
or
we
need
to
take
out
the
duplicate
in
number
one.
M
M
Yeah
yeah
yeah
you're
right.
I
I
that's
weird.
I
never
saw
that
yeah
yeah
because
it
does
say
number
two:
we
can
delete
number
two.
A
D
F
D
K
Up
until
now
has
there
been
a
I'm
familiar
with
the
cornell
plan,
there's
like
a
three
month
carryover
into
the
next
year.
Has
that
been
the
case
up
until
now,
so.
M
So
currently
we
have
yeah,
you
can
roll
up
till
the
end
of
march.
You
can,
you
know,
file
a
claim
yeah.
So
we
currently
have
a
carryover
right
now
of
maximum
is
550
dollars
only
for
medical
uh-huh.
M
So
what
this
is
doing,
it's
allowing
it
not
only
to
apply
to
to
be
unlimited
in
terms
of
the
amount
that
you
can
carry
over,
and
it
applies
not
only
to
medical
but
to
to
also
to
dental.
M
L
N
And
donna
I
I
totally
agreed-
I
I
think
there
are,
I
think
what
you're
referring
to
when
you
ask
about
cornell
versus
the
city,
is
also
the
fact
that
the
federal
regulations
around
this
provide
two
options
for
flexibility
when
you're
not
looking
at
the
special
pandemic.
N
Setting
one
of
them
is
that
up
to
500
can
be
rolled
into
the
ensuing
plan
year
and
be
part
of
that
entire
plan
year,
which
is
what
the
city
does
and
the
other,
which
I
believe
is
what
cornell
does
is
that
all
of
the
money,
not
just
500
from
one
plan
year
can
be
rolled,
can
be
have
a
flexible
period
that
runs
through
the
first
few
months
of
the
ensuing
plan
here
and
those
are
two
different
approaches.
N
The
city
uses
the
500
cap
that
rolls
into
the
entire
ensuing
plan
year,
whereas
cornell
does
the
entire
dollar
amount.
That
is
only
flexed
into
the
first
few
months
of
the
ensuing
plan
year,
but
either
way
this
the
the
federal
bill
that
was
just
passed
as
a
result
of
coded
allows
a
full
year
of
flexibility.
A
All
those
in
favor
and
that
carries
unanimously
it
looks
like
4.4,
is
relatively
similar
to
someone
who
I.
C
Can
do
that?
I
can
do
that
because
denise
printed
it
out
for
me.
C
Agree
with
that
ready
here
we
go
city,
administration,
human
resources
and
policy.
A
resolution
authorizing
extension
of
leave
time
made
available
pursuant
to
the
family's
first
coronavirus
relief
act
through
march
31st
2021,
whereas
on
march
18
2020,
the
federal
government
adopted
the
family's
first
coronavirus
relief
act,
which
is
the
ffcra,
whereas
the
ffcra
required
certain
employers,
including
the
city
of
ithaca,
to
provide
specified
paid
leave
benefits
to
employees
to
assist
them
in
managing
illness
and
family
care
demands
during
the
coven
19
pandemic,
including
leave
pursuant
to
the
emergency
family
and
medical
leave.
C
Expansion
act,
the
f
e,
f
m
l,
a
leave
and
the
emergency
paid
sick
leave
act.
The
epsla
leave
effective
honor
about
april
2nd
2020
and
whereas
the
ffcra
mandate
for
covered
employees
to
provide
ef,
mla
leave
and
epsla
leave
expired
on
december
31
2020
and
whereas
section
286
of
the
consolidated
appropriations
act
of
2021,
the
caa
authorized
employers
to
voluntarily
extend
the
time
by
which
employees
must
use.
C
Efmla
leave
and
epsla
leave
from
december
31st
2020
to
march
31st
2021
on
the
terms
stated
in
the
initial
ffcra
enactment
and
without
increasing
the
limits
on
mandated
leave
contained
in
the
ffcra
and
whereas
the
caa,
like
the
initial
ffcra,
does
not
extend
any
subsidy
or
refundable
tax
credit
to
public
sector
employers
to
defray
all
or
a
portion
of
the
cost
of
efmla
leave
or
epsla
leave,
and
whereas
the
city
nevertheless
desires
to
allow
employees
continued
use
of
paid
leave.
Benefits
provided
under
the
terms
of
the
ffcra
is
initially
adopted
through
march
31st.
2021.
A
M
Oh
yeah,
so
this
the
paid
sick
leave
is
basically
awards,
10,
full
10
days
of
full
pay
for
anyone
who
goes
into
isolation,
quarantine
or
is
sick,
okay
and
then
the
ef
mla
is
related
to
child
care
needs,
and
it's
it's
it's
two-thirds
pay,
but
that
they
can
offset
that
with
leave.
Leave
time.
C
A
D
A
C
A
Great
okay,
so
those
were
all
of
our
voting
items
for
today,
but
we
have
a
couple
of
discussion
items.
George
has
brought
the
county
broadband
issue
to
our
attention
and
from
what
I
understand
they
are
looking
for.
A
representative
from
the
city
is
that.
C
Right,
that's
correct:
they
they
want
to
have
a
the
email
came
from
rod
howe
at
the
town
of
ithaca.
I
I
forwarded
it
to
everybody
and
they're
looking
to
create
a
committee
to
study
broadband
county-wide
and
they'd
like
a
representative
of
each
municipality
in
the
county,
okay,
if
anybody's
eager
to
do
that,
I
welcome
them
to
do
it.
I
go
to
the
tcog
meetings
anyway,
so
I
could
do
it
if
you
want,
but.
A
If
there
isn't
anyone
else
interested
I'm
we
would
be
pleased
to
have
you
do
it.
George,
I
think
probably
the
best
way
is.
If
we
just
had
someone
nominate
you,
then
we
second
it
and
then
we
send
it
on
or
something
like
that
we
can.
We
could
write
a
you
know
three
line
resolution
that
we
can
include
in
the
consent
agenda
for
council
that
appoints
you
as
the
rep.
Does
that
make
sense.
C
F
C
But
it
would
definitely
benefit
the
city
in
the
in
a
number
of
ways
that
businesses
in
the
city
could
reach
out
to
the
countryside
more
effectively,
and
there
are
some
other
things
that
it
would
definitely
benefit
the
city.
In
my
opinion,.
A
C
We
could
share
it
doc.
We
could
like,
if
one
of
us
was
out
of
town,
we
could
share
it
or
that
sounds.
A
A
A
F
C
Excellent
question:
let
me
find
that
out
at
the
next
tcog
meeting.
A
Right
yeah,
I
don't
think
we
need
to,
but
I
don't
know
what
might
develop
down
the
road.
So
I
don't
hey.
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
entire
council
and
b.
I
don't
know
if
there
might
be
something
down
the
road
where
additional
resources
might
be
needed,
so
I
feel
like
you
could
always
just
bring
it
back
to
ca
if
that
develops
either
one
of
you.
If
now
that
you're
going
to
be
on
the
committee.
A
Hi
did
you
want
to
talk
quickly?
I
know
you
mentioned
this
in
the
state
of
the
state
state
of
the
state
state
of
the
city.
Sorry,
there's
a
lot
of
state
of
state
of
the
city
talking
about
putting
a
group
of
people
together
to
look
at
the
city
government.
Do
you
want
to
say
a
little
more
about
that?
First,
before
I
kind
of
pose,
my
idea
was
to
pose
a
number
of
different
questions,
at
least
to
this
group,
to
start
digging
into
the
kind
of
work
that
we're
going
to
need
to
do.
A
M
H
Overdue
for
a
re-examination.
The
last
time
we
took
a
hard
look
at
how
the
city
functions
from
the
executive
standpoint
was
10
years
ago
with
the
novak
report.
They
identified
that
look.
You
have
a
chief
executive,
that's
elected
with
a
blend
of
strong
mayor
and
not
so
strong
mayor
qualities.
I'm
not
talking
about
any
particular
mayor.
H
I
mean
the
actual
form
of
government
here,
the
strong
mayor
and
that
the
mayor
supervises
the
staff
it's
weak
mayor
and
the
the
mayor
cannot
summarily
dismiss
the
staff,
they
all
have
civil
service
protections
and
that
that
is
unusual.
That's
a
blend
of
the
two
different
forms
of
local
government
that
you
see
around.
What's
also
unusual
is
the
number
of
people
that
report
to
the
mayor
with
about
12
direct
reports
that
is
frankly
too
many
and
with
12
direct
reports
and
a
complicated
city
to
run.
H
H
Also
when
you
compare
it
to
other
cities,
much
less
other
organizations,
non-profit
and
for-profit
organizations.
The
compensation
for
the
mayor's
office
is
way
too
well,
something
many
of
us
on
council
we've
just
known
this
forever.
One
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
the
novak
report
was
well.
H
It
would
help
if
there
was
a
chief
of
staff,
so
we
created
a
chief
of
staff
position
about
nine
years
ago
now,
but
especially
with
some
of
the
terms
of
council
members
who
have
been
here
for
a
while,
most
notably
chair,
malinov
city
administration,
we
thought
well,
this
might
be
the
year
to
take
a
deep
dive
in
and
see.
If,
if
it's
possible,
to
fix
this
and
what
changes
we
should
make
to
help
the
city
run
more
efficiently
and
deliver
the
services
that
we
have
to
for
for
the
people
we
represent.
H
So
I
asked
deb
if
she'd
be
willing
to
do
that.
She
kindly
agreed
to
to
leave
that
work
here
in
her
final
year
on
council
and
to
form
a
committee
that
would
work
through
city
administration
to
bring
some
recommendations
to
the
full
council
and
also
to
the
public,
if
that's
necessary,
via
a
referendum.
A
Great
and
we've
talked
a
little
bit
offline,
so
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
now
is.
We've
got
two
mem
two
council
members
from
each
committee
that
have
agreed
to
help
with
this,
so
it'll
be
myself
and
rob
and
donna
and
sef
are
going
to
be
the
council
members
taking
a
look
at
this
and
shelley
will
be
helping
dan
will
be
helping,
I'm
sure
ari.
A
We
will
need
you
at
some
point
if
we
have
to
go
down
the
referendum
road
or
any
or
any
other
major
changes
to
charter
code
or
whatever
so
we'll
certainly
keep
you
in
the
loop
and
jason
molino
who's.
Our
county
administrator
has
also
agreed
to
be
sort
of
a
honorary
member.
He
served
as
a
city
manager
and
has
said
that
he
could
give
us
whatever
insights
we
might
need.
So
what
I
thought
this
evening
just
really
quickly.
I
hey,
I
don't
want
to
duplicate
work,
we've
already
done
and
honestly.
A
This
is
a
big
undertaking
in
maybe
a
short
period
of
time.
So
what
I
want
to
hear,
I
guess
from
the
group
first-
is
essentially
if
we're
going
to
make
a
big
decision
like
this.
What
information
might
you
need,
or
what
might
be
the
most
helpful
for
you
and
I'm
kind
of
looking
at
maybe
three
arms
of
what
we
may
end
up
putting
in
a
proposal?
A
The
first
one
would
be
a
change
in
the
form
or
structure
of
city
government,
so
that
would
be
something
that
like
like
savant
cevante,
might
have
talked
about.
Where
does
that
mean?
We
modify
chief
of
staff,
change
to
a
city
manager,
take
a
look
at
a
different
form
of
government.
There's
there
are
actually
more
than
one
forms
of
government,
so
maybe
a
different
form
of
government
is
is
more
useful
for
us.
Given
the
current,
you
know,
climate
and
whatnot
number
two,
an
increase
or
a
reduction
in
the
mayor's
role,
responsibility
and
salary.
A
A
Are
the
responsibilities
clearly
defined
and
is
the
salary
commensurate
with
what
we
ask
that
person
to
do
so,
and
these
are
not
a
these-
aren't
really
an
either
or
we
could
do
one
two
or
three
of
these
things
or
just
one
of
them
and
then
the
last
thing
I
thought
we
should
look
at
is
a
change
in
the
structure
of
the
staffing
of
the
mayor's
office.
So
just
the
support
staff
in
the
mayor's
office
is
it
enough
is.
Is
it
correct
right
now
the
there
are
at
will
positions?
A
If
we
look
at
the
mayor's
responsibility,
then,
is
there
enough
admin
staff
to
support
what
we
may
ask
the
mayor
to
do
you
know?
What
does
that
look
like?
So
that's
the
direction
I
think
we're
going
to
head
with
this
group.
We
have
had
a
preliminary
conversation
with
with
the
group.
I've
also
started
collecting
some
resources
that
we're
going
to
use,
so
I
guess
I'll,
stop
there
quickly
and
say
so.
A
If
those
are
the
things
we
will
bring
to
council
with
a
with
a
potential
proposal
for
changes,
what
data,
what
information
would
drive
your
decision-making
process
like?
What
do
you
need
to
know
or
understand
more
about
if
you
were
going
to
vote
something
about
a
change
up
or
down
and
I'll
just
open
the
floor
to
dan?
Are
you
taking
notes,
or
do
you
want
me
to
try
to
scribble
stuff
down
thanks,
stan,
graham.
F
Okay,
I
mean
I
was
just
gonna
say:
public
public
input
would
be
part
of
it
too.
You
know
as
much
as
we
analyze
data
in
other
cities.
A
Right
so
my
my
pl,
my
second,
the
second
part
of
our
discussion
tonight
is
talk
about
what
would
be
the
most
useful
for
a
public
information
input
campaign
right.
So
I
think
that
before
we
do
the
work
of
actually
putting
a
proposal
together,
I
think
we
wanted
to
hear
you
know
how
how
much
data
do
we
need
how
you
know?
What
do
you
have
a
particular
idea
of
which
direction
makes
more
sense
to
you?
Is
there
information
you,
you
would
need?
D
So
so
this
is
really
focused
on
the
the
the
mayor
and
the
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
city
manager.
It
doesn't
extend
to
council
right.
I
mean
this
is
not
you're
not
going
to
be
looking
at
the
role
of
council,
because
I
know
in
the
past
we've
talked
about
that.
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
what
the
scope
of
reforming
government
means.
I
guess
in
the
context
of
this
working
group.
A
Yeah,
so
that's
a
good
question.
I
think
there's
two
things
we
have
to
kind
of
with
two
things
we
have
to
remember:
one
is
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
There
will
be
the
redistricting
committee
that
could
look
at
modifications,
maybe
to
the
even
even
the
number
of
council
members,
the
number
of
wars
or
whatnot.
That's
also
coming
so
we
didn't
want
to.
We
didn't
want
to
delve
into
that
arena
too
much
if
there
was
any
potential
changes,
but
one
of
the
reasons
I
think
rob
and
donna
will
be
key
on
this
committee.
A
Is
we
were
working
on
those
rules
of
procedure
right,
so
there
may
be
things
that
we
might
look
at.
I
don't
know-
maybe
maybe
there's
a
council
president
or
maybe
the
mayor
gets
to
vote,
or
you
know
so
that
kind
of
stuff
might
be
something
that
we
might
find
would
be
useful
to
introduce
and
then
that,
wouldn't
matter
necessarily
how
many
awards
or
council
members
there
were,
but
it
would
be
an
adjustment
or
a
modification
in
our
form
of
government.
D
D
And
things
comes
up
because
sometimes
that's
unclear
to
people
is,
is
cevante
part
of
council.
Is
he
separate
from
council?
I
mean
I
I've
heard
that
I've
had
that
discussion
with
with
residents,
and
so
some
kind
of
clarification
of
that
connection
or
or
the
relationship
would,
I
think,
be
useful.
Going
forward.
A
Okay,
good
and
there
there
are
different
forms
of
government
where
the
mayor
plays
greater
and
lesser
roles.
So
I'm
also
hearing
it,
maybe
that
you
need
to
have
an
understanding
like
if
we
say
strong,
may
or
form
or
if
we
say
this
form
of
government,
a
quick
primer
on
what
all
those
forms
of
government
are.
A
If
that
would
be
helpful.
Okay,
george.
C
Yeah,
I
I
guess
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
us
to
decide
is
whether
we
consider
the
office
of
mayor
a
full-time
job
or
a
part-time
job.
When
I
first
moved
to
this
town,
the
mayor
was
a
two-year
position
and
was
considered
by
just
about
everybody
to
be
a
part-time
job.
C
F
I'm
assuming
this
is
already
part
of
the
process,
but
certainly
comparisons
with
other
municipalities
and
and
maybe
even
if
it's
easy
to
get
the
you
know,
residents
reactions
to
how
they
work.
K
C
C
A
G
Yeah,
I
know
I
guess
this
was
hinted
at,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
maybe
make
both.
You
know
our
own
committee,
but
by
extension,
this
group
and
council
as
a
whole
and
ultimately
the
public
aware
of
the
importance
of
the
the
timelines
that
are
there
we're
up
against.
So
you
mentioned
redistricting.
G
A
Sure
I'll
try
to
work
on
that
as
what
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
is
sort
of
put
a
little
scope
of
work
together
for
the
group.
That's
what
I
wanted
this
feedback
for
and
then
we'll
make
sure
that
we
understand
very
clearly
from
ari
if
something
has
to
go
to
referendum.
A
What's
the
timeline
for
that,
if
I'm
assuming
what
we
do
is
going
to
have
to
go
to
referendum,
if
we
make
any
changes,
there's
maybe
a
few
things
we
could
do
that
wouldn't,
but
anything
like
this,
I
think
is
gonna
have
to
go,
and
I
think
that
means
we
pretty
much
need
to
be
wrapped
up
and
voted
on
it
by
september.
A
Okay,
so
I
will
work
with
ari
and
dan
on
making
sure
that
we
have
the
work
done.
The
good
news
is,
is
this
has
been
done
all
over
the
country
in
a
lot
of
different
municipalities,
so
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
to
just
take
a
look
at
the
research
and
the
benchmarking
and
come
to
some
sort
of
consensus
around
what
we
think
is
the
best
for
the
city.
So
I
don't
know,
I
don't
think
the
research
phase
of
this
will
take
long,
it'll
just
be
gathering
what
already
exists.
I
M
I
D
A
A
Yeah,
if
you
thought
getting
something
through
a
referendum,
is
difficult:
get
a
municipality
to
vote
themselves
out
of
existence
very
challenging,
but
we'll
see
we'll
tackle
that
at
the
next
round,
we'll
tackle
that
when
I'm
not
on
council
anymore,
how
about
that
you
can?
You
can
have
fun
with
that
one
all
right!
I
think
this
is
good.
I
think
the
you
know
it's
good
feedback,
and
we
will
try
to
put
this
on
as
a
standing
agenda
item
for
ca.
A
Maybe
keep
everybody
updated
with
where
we're
at
and
what
we're
doing
and
get
feedback
along
the
way
that'll
probably
have
it
move
a
little
faster,
so,
okay,
that
was
it
for
our
agenda
items.
A
The
only
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
your
attention
to
was
that
we
did
have
all
the
future
meetings
listed
on
the
second
page
of
the
agenda
packet
and
just
the
ones
that
were
highlighted,
not
that
any
of
us
can
think
about
november
or
december
right
now,
right
that
seems
like
42
years
away,
but
that
we
are
going
to
need
to
take
a
look
at
alternate
dates
for
those
just
because
of
where
the
holidays
fall.
So
right
now
this
is
tentatively
what
we've
proposed.
A
Obviously,
as
we
get
closer
to
december,
we'll
need
to
choose
which
which
meeting
we
would
prefer
I'm
leaning
towards
the
20th,
but
we'll
leave
that
to
our
decision
down
the
road.
So
I
know
people
wanted
these
dates
for
their
calendars,
so
here
they
are
all
right
anything
else.
Pressing
shelly
did
you
want
to
talk
about
what
you
talked
to
me
about
for
reimagining,
police
timeline
or
we'll
just.
M
M
Looking
at
february
17th
as
being
the
date
at
which
the
we
will
publicly
communicate
a
draft
of
the
recommendations
and
then
from
the
17
basically
another
30
days,
we
will
take
to
gather
input
from
the
community
regarding
their
reactions
to
the
recommendations,
and
that
includes
council
and
elected
officials
and
then
we're
looking
at
doing
a
a
presentation
to
council
on
the
24th
of
february,
which
is
ca,
and
then
there
will
be
another
session
for
you
all
to
deliberate
and
discuss
the
recommendations
on
the
following
month
same
day
as
ca,
whether
or
not
it's
a
part
of
ca
or
a
special
meeting.
M
I
leave
that
up
to
to
deb
and
and
and
julie
to
determine
that
and
then
the
vote
to
adopt
the
plan
will
take
place
on
march
31st.
So
we
will
have
to
have
a
special
meeting
for
that.
D
Yeah,
but
a
quick
follow-up
for
shelley,
so
shelly,
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
public
outreach
as
part
of
this
initiative.
So
in
addition
to
the
recommendations,
will
there
be
some
kind
of
summary
of
that
process
or
I
don't
want
to
make
work,
but
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
people
to
know
how
much
work
has
gone
into
the
public
outreach
effort
of
this.
