Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
C
C
I'll,
also
note
at
the
start
of
our
meeting
that
today
is
the
first
day
of
pride
month
a
month
where
we
recognize
all
individuals,
and
I
I
will
also
mention
that
there
is
a
severe
thunderstorm
watch
so
to
my
colleagues
and
members
of
the
public.
We
do
not
anticipate
any
interruption,
but
should
you
see
any
interruptions
they
may
be
caused
by
local
thunderstorms?
C
C
C
And
whereas
african-americans
have
changed
the
face
of
education
in
the
united
states
by
protecting
access
and
opportunity.
Insisting
on
the
inclusion
of
all
histories
and
guaranteeing
the
rights
to
education
for
all
youth.
And
whereas
juneteenth
reminds
us
that
decades
of
collective
action
have
demonstrated
measurable
progress,
albeit
slowly,
frustratingly
and
gradually.
C
I
have
here
unto
set
my
hand
and
caused
the
great
seal
of
the
city
of
ithaca
to
be
a
fixed
to
this
proclamation,
the
first
day
of
the
month
of
june
in
the
year
2022,
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
present
this
proclamation,
and
I
understand
thank
you.
Leslie
mcqueen,
claire
bourne
is
here
with
us
this
evening
to
accept
the
proclamation.
Welcome
leslie.
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
common
council.
First,
let
me
just
take
a
moment
to
say
happy
pride
month.
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
that,
and
I
certainly
want
to
salute
all
of
her
brothers
sisters
and
all
across
the
gender
spectrum
who
continue
to
fight
for
freedom
and
equality
in
our
community
and
in
this
country.
D
My
mantra
these
days
is
not
don't
say
gay
but,
let's
all
just
say
gay.
I
say
that
with
a
sense
of
understanding
that
the
fight
for
freedom
goes
back
quite
a
long
way
in
this
proclamation,
as
indicated
that
for
african-americans
as
well
for
many
african-americans
who
were
enslaved
june
teens
began
and
became
the
path
of
true
freedom
for
many
others.
It
was
a
time
of
pride,
as
you
said,
in
the
proclamation
many
joined,
the
military
ranks
to
fight
for
our
freedom
of
our
black
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
south.
D
Among
those
brave
soldiers
were
the
26
you
mentioned
in
the
proclamation
black
men
from
tompkins
county
who
joined
the
26
regiments
of
the
united
states,
colored
infantry
after
the
war
many
returned
to
to
live
on
wheat
street
now
cleveland
avenue.
I
encourage
all
of
you
and
everybody
watching
all
residents
in
tonkins
county
in
the
city
of
ithaca,
so
please
take
a
moment
to
visit
the
monument
erected
outside
the
historics
in
january.
D
Zion
church
that
honors
these
brave
men
at
116,
cleveland
avenue
today
about
10
employees
from
the
city
and
county
participated
in
a
videotaped
abbreviated,
african-american
heritage,
walking
tour
of
the
historic
south
side.
The
video
is
about
an
hour
long
and
we
plan
to
have
the
video
available
for
anyone
to
watch
at
their
leisure.
This
is
part
of
the
series
of
events
that
the
joint
group
of
city
county,
I'm
calling
us
the
joint
city
county,
juneteen
commemoration
committee
have
put
together
on
monday.
D
I
encourage
you
to
please
tune
in
as
well
to
virtual
discussion,
monday
june
13th,
that
is
4
15
pm,
we'll
be
hosting
a
pulitzer
prize.
Winning
historian
and
texas
native
and
at
gordon
reed.
Miss
gordon
reed
is
the
author
of
a
book
called
on
juneteenth,
which
tells
us
the
story
of
juneteen's
integral
importance
to
american
history.
D
D
D
Perhaps
you
might
be
able
to
engage
in
a
riveting
game
of
pickleball
who
knows
come
on
down
to
the
thomas
county
center
for
history
and
culture
and
because
we
are
aware
that
the
salsa
community
center
every
year
takes
has
taken
on
the
charge
of
developing
and
offering
community
events
for
juneteen
we're
only
doing
those
two
days
and
then
the
south
side.
Events
begin
on
the

but
I
believe
there's
a
luncheon.
D
And
then,
on
sunday
the
19th
there's
a
health
fair
being
taking
place
at
the
bernie
milton

commons,
and
so
we
encourage
you
to
please
market
calendars
and
try
to
attend
as
many
of
the
events
here,
all
learning
opportunities,
opportunities
to
engage
and
opportunities
to
participate,
as
many
african-americans
did
back
in
the
day
when
we,
you
know,
shut
down
wheat
street
and
you
know
just
had
celebrations
just
the
joy
of
being
together
and
supporting
each
other
and
building
community.
D
C
Thank
you,
dr
mcpheen
clairvourne.
Thank
you
so
much.
Congratulations!
Thank
you.
You
won
that
accomplishment
and
thank
you
to
everyone
who
participated
in
the
planning
committee.
I
know
that
a
number
of
folks
were
involved
in
the
planning.
Where
is
the
best
place
to
see
the
list
of
all
the
activities?
I'm
so
pleased
that
there's
a
full
week
of
events,
speakers
activities
at
the
history
center.
Where
is
the
best
place
to
find
that
listing.
D
Well,
this
planning
committee
member
is
not
the
right
person
to
ask,
but
I
will
say:
southside
the
salsa
community
center's
facebook
page
is
one
place
to
find
all
the
events
that
they
have
going
on.
Tompkins
county
youtube
site
is
another
place
to
find
events
that
are
being
hosted,
city,
county
events
and
thank
you,
amir,
lose
if
you'll
endorse
me
for
just
a
few
more
seconds.
D
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
shelley
michel
nunn,
who
is
part
of
the
planning
committee,
and
she
put
in
the
chat
that
we
will
send
out
a
flyer
soon.
D
Reverend
kenneth
clark
doctor
reverend
kenneth
clark,
who
is
the
director
of
the
office
of
human
rights,
deanna
carrithers,
who
is
the
chief
equity
and
diversity
officer
of
tompkins,
county
rachel,
graham
j.r
clearborn,
and
I'm
sure
I'm
missing
somebody
else.
Brittany
greer,
who
is
part
of
tompkins
county
legislature,
clerk's
office,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
those
folks
for
the
time
they
have
put
into
helping
to
plan,
and
let
me
not
forget
ben,
whose
name
is
escaping
me
now
from
the
thompson
county
center
for
history
and
culture.
C
Wonderful,
thank
you.
So
much
all
right.
Thank
you
once
again
for
joining
us
tonight.
We
next
have
the
quarterly
employee
recognition
award,
and
this
is
an
award
for
ever
stokes.
This
nomination
came
from
suki
tabor
deputy
director
of
the
ithaca
youth
bureau
and
I'll
read
from
suki's
nomination
of
ever
tsuki
writes,
I
am
nominating
ever
because
they
initiated
the
idea
of
the
free
ride.
Youth
pass
program
which
allows
youth
up
to
age
17,
including
age
17,
to
ride
tcap
for
free
lack
of
transportation,
has
long
been
an
issue
for
young
people
in
this
community.
C
This
is
an
example
of
a
staff
member
going
above
and
beyond,
for
the
benefit
of
the
larger
community.
Ever
saw
a
need
and
worked
tirelessly
to
get
necessary
community
support
and
infrastructure
in
place
to
tackle
this
important
issue,
while
ever's
full-time
job
keeps
them
extremely
busy
ever
looked
beyond.
Just
the
needs
of
the
participants
in
their
programs
ever
saw
the
impacts
that
this
lack
of
transportation
had
on
the
youth
they
worked
with
and
realized.
C
E
Thank
you,
mayor
lewis.
I
appreciate
it.
It's
lovely
to
be
recognized
thanks
to
liz
and
suki
for
the
nomination
and
I'm
very
excited
for
the
young
people
in
this
community.
E
I
do
just
want
to
say
that
sometimes
changes
like
this
are
really
long
and
difficult
hard
battles
and
sometimes
they're
more
just
the
you
know
right
people
at
the
right
time,
sharing
ideas
coming
together
and
then
just
sort
of
collaborating
to
bring
to
bring
it
to
fruition,
and
this
was
definitely
the
latter
of
those
two
scenarios.
E
It's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
the
folks
at
tcad
and
with
tompkins
county
youth
services,
and
you
know
I'm
just
really
thrilled
with
how
expansive
they've
been
in
their
thinking
and
how
willing
they've
been
to
listen
to
the
perspectives
of
the
youth
service
providers,
about
how
how
important
this
will
be
to
at
least
remove
one
of
the
hurdles
that
youth
face
in
in
engagement
with
programs
and
opportunities
that
really
do
impact.
You
know
their
ability
to
live.
E
You
know
thriving
and
flourishing
lives
and
I'll
just
say
that
last
fall
when
this
idea
was
getting
to
a
point
where
it
felt
like
it
had
some
traction
and
might
actually
come
to
be.
I
thought
you
know.
If
this
happens,
I
am
going
to
feel
a
little
thrilled.
Every
time
I
see
a
tcat
bus
go
by
and
so
far
that
is
very
true.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
I
will
also
just
add
that
this
free
ride,
youth
pass
program
went
into
effect,
may
29th
with
the
start
of
tcat's
summer
service
and
we're
very
excited
on
behalf
of
the
tcat
board
that
this
has
been
implemented
this
year.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
suki
for
recognizing
ever
and
thank
you
to
everyone
and
liz
as
well.
Thank
you
to
everyone
at
the
youth
for
your
work.
C
C
On
friday,
the
day
before
memorial
day,
we
learned
that
the
flags
in
dewitt
park
had
been
taken
down
had
been
stolen
and
it
was
late
in
the
day
and
we
heard
from
christine
kerflet
who
works
with
the
veterans
affairs,
and
she
spoke
at
the
memorial
day,
observance
in
dewood
park
this
week,
but
she
also
wanted
to
thank
the
community
staff,
and
I
think
it
is
well
worth
acknowledging
those
I
asked
christine
for
her
comments
and
she
shared
those.
In
addition
to
her
other
comments,
what
she
said
on
monday
was.
C
C
I
understand
that
corey,
jordan
city
employee
was
almost
at
home
and
turned
around
and
came
back
to
the
city
and
helped
to
get
the
flags
back
up
in
dewitt
park
for
a
ceremony
that
was
very
meaningful
for
a
number
of
residents,
a
number
of
members
of
our
community.
So
thank
you,
julie.
Thank
you,
steve.
Thank
you,
adam
and
corey
for
your
efforts.
C
Okay,
next,
we
have
reports
of
municipal
officials,
and
I
see
richard
apollo
is
behind
us
rich
welcome
good
to
have
you
here.
F
Thanks
thanks
for
having
me
thanks
for
having
me,
I've
worked
with
a
lot
of
you.
I
know
most
of
you,
so
I
I'll
be
I'll.
Try
to
be
brief,
we'll
spare
the
introductions.
No
one
wants
to
keep
george
awake
past
his
bedtime,
so
we'll
get
right
into
this.
F
As
many
of
you
already
know,
the
town
has
been
working
on
revising
zoning
in
the
inlet
valley.
That's
the
area
south
of
the
city
between
newfield
and
the
city
line.
F
Currently,
there's
kind
of
a
jumble
of
light
industrial
uses
and
things
that
you
would
typically
see
in
the
rural
outskirts
of
town
times
have
changed,
and
I
think
that
the
town
has
a
vision
to
try
to
create
more
of
a
gateway,
feel
there
something
that
capitalizes
on
the
proximity
of
that
corridor
to
the
two
state
parks,
something
that
that
emphasizes
some
of
the
agricultural
presence
there,
some
of
the
sort
of
a
more
more
of
a
sort
of
destination
vibe
that
is
probably
about
a
month
from
being
reviewed
by
the
town
board,
there's
a
more
of
a
an
area
right
along
the
the
the
roadway
adjacent
to
the
roadway
that
accommodates
I'd,
say
a
greater
variety
of
uses
and
then
there's
a
more
transition
zone
around
that
mostly
to
the
west
of
route
13
that
would
be
transition
to
less
dense
uses
there
so
stay
tuned.
F
For
that
we
continue
to
chip
away
at
our
telecommunications
law.
I'm
sure
you
don't
want
to
hear
that
word
ever
again,
but
nonetheless,
here
we
are
a
little
bit
behind
you
guys
on
that
one.
I
think
most
of
the
folks
who
have
been
weighing
in
have
been
urging
us
to
strongly
consider
very,
very
large
setbacks
between
5g
antennas,
there's
a
lot
more
to
the
ordinance
than
5g.
F
As
you
know,
that
should
be
seeing
the
light
of
day
that
should
be
getting
out
of
our
codes
and
ordinances
committee
within
the
next
month.
I've
been
told
it's
a
rather
large
committee
and
things
take
time.
The
good
news
is
that
our
the
town
attorney
does
sit
in
on
that
committee,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
go
for
much
of
a
separate
review.
F
We've
been
working
on
community
choice,
aggregation
with
representatives
from
the
city,
I'm
sure
you,
you
guys,
took
a
look
at
that
as
well.
That
seems
to
be
coming
along.
We're
also
anxious
to
work
with
the
city
on
the
electric
electrification
initiative,
the
part
of
that
we
had
a
meeting
today
and
things
I
think
things
seem
to
be
in
a
pretty
good
state
now
that
we
know
what
the
level
of
participation
is
or
is
likely
to
be
from
the
city
side.
F
So
now
we
can
sort
of
put
those
pieces
together
we're
trying
to
revise
our
limited
historic
commercial
zone,
which
enables
property
owners
with
historic
properties
to
incorporate
certain
uses
that
wouldn't
otherwise
be
allowed
in
in
residential
zones
to
enable
them
to
afford
to
maintain
these
old
and
sometimes
expensive,
historic
properties.
That's
something
that
we
hope
to
do
kind
of,
in
conjunction
with
the
our
vision
of
collaborating
with
the
city
and
its
landmarks
preservation.
F
Commission,
that's
something
that
I
think
is
has
there's
an
ordinance
that
I
think
is
under
review
at
the
city
attorney's
office,
and
we
look
forward
to
getting
back
to
that
because
we
hope
to
codify
some
reference
to
the
landmarks
preservation
commission
in
the
new
historic
commercial
zone,
language
and
that
that
sort
of
kind
of
what
we're
in
a
nutshell,
what
we're
doing
we're
sort
of
keeping
an
eye
on
the
the
sort
of
transitional
housing
initiative
that
the
city
is
considering
for
some
homeless
folks
and
and,
of
course,
we'll
just
we're.
F
Gonna
wait
and
see
kind
of
what
happens
with
that.
But,
given
that
it's,
I
think
the
proposal
isn't
for
a
part
of
the
city
that
is
adjacent
to
the
town,
there's
some
some
interest.
Obviously,
in
what
happens
there
so
keeping
an
eye
on
that
there's.
As
you
know,
we
passed
a
short-term
rental
ordinance.
F
I
know
you're
dealing
with
that,
and
so
I
would
invite
you
anyone
who
has
an
interest
in
it
in
a
conversation
about
our
process.
I
was
on
the
committee
that
developed
that
ordinance
and
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
with
with
any
of
you
on
the
side
about
that,
and
that's
about
all
I
have
at
this
point.
F
So
if
you
I
can
put
my
email
address
in
the
chat,
if
any
of
you
want
a
sidebar
about
any
of
these
things
or
if
at
the
pleasure
of
the
mayor,
you
can
certainly
feel
free
to
ask
me
any
questions
now.
G
H
Well
I'll,
just
ask
a
question
to
say
hello
and
thank
you
for
that
very
detailed
update.
That's
a
lot
of
material
that
you
covered
in
a
short
amount
of
time.
I
really
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
town
is
looking
at
zoning
on
the
route
13
corridor
on
in
inlet
valley.
This
is,
as
you
mentioned,
a
gateway
into
the
city
into
the
the
south
and
west
end
and
what
we
can
do
to
work
together
with
the
town
to
create
a
unified,
cohesive
experience
going
through
that
corridor.
H
F
F
I
think
that
I've
tried
to
jumpstart
semi-regular
meetings
between
town
planning,
folks
and
ithaca
city
of
ithaca
planning,
folks,
as
well
just
to
see
if
there
are
any
areas
on
which
we
can
work
together
so
but
yeah
that
that's
definitely,
I
think
it's
an
important
it's
an
important
corridor
and
I
think
there
are
opportunities
for
collaboration
there.
F
C
All
right
moving
on
in
our
agenda,
we
next
have
a
presentation,
ithaca,
green
new
deal,
presentation
from
luis
aguirre
torres
director
of
sustainability,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
louise.
Louise.
Thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
Well,
I
I
have
a
very
quick
update
for
common
council
on
the
8th
agree.
New
deal.
Part
of
the
reason
for
this
update
is
some
of
you
that
are
in
your
first
year
as
members
of
common
council
were
not
involved
in
when
the
resolution
to
approve
the
cabrini
new
deal
was
passed.
So
the
intention
is
to
give
you
a
quick
overview
of
what
it
is
where
we
are
at
and
what
we're
planning
to
do
moving
forward.
I
So
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen
and
I'm
gonna
be
looking
at
the
screen.
So
please
feel
free
to
interrupt
me
by
just
screaming
really
loud.
I
Whenever
you
have
any
questions
so
the
first
one
I
have
is,
can
you
see
my
screen
in
presentation
mode?
I
don't
know
yes,
yes,
okay,
perfect!
Thank
you.
So
the
sustainability
is
part
of
planning
and
development
under
the
director.
Lisa
nicholas,
rebecca
is
also
here.
So
in
case
you
have
any
questions.
So
the
itaka
green
new
deal
is
a
resolution
that
was
passed
on
june
5th
2019.
I
And,
if
I
were
to
summarize
it,
I
would
say
it
is
a
resolution
through
which
the
city
commits
to
fight
climate
change,
at
the
same
time
that
it
commits
to
fight
economic
inequality
and
racial
injustice.
I
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
itacai
new
deal
comes
from
a
resolution
where
we
are
prioritizing
climate
justice,
which
is
the
the
convergence
of
environmental
justice
and
social
justice
and,
at
the
same
time,
we
are
committing
to
reduce
greenhouse
gases
by
reducing,
at
least
by
50
energy
intensity
in
the
city
and
at
least
by
90
carbon
intensity.
And
what
that
means
is
for
every
unit
of
energy
that
we
use
we're
going
to
try
to
make
sure
that
that
unit
of
energy
has
the
least
carbon
possible.
I
There
were
some
specific
goals
that
you
can
see
on
the
screen
and
you
can
see
in
the
original
resolution.
Some
of
those
goals,
for
example,
were
to
adopt
a
green
building
code
for
new
buildings
by
2019,
but
because
of
coffee
that
wasn't
possible.
That
happened
last
year
in
may
2021,
and
also
to
adopt
a
green
building
code
for
existing
buildings.
That
has
not
happened
mostly
because
also
the
strategy
has
changed
at
the
time
this
resolution
was
passed.
I
There
was
not
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
time
to
for
the
major
and
common
council
to
consult
with
experts.
I
Then
it
was
until
last
year
when
a
director
of
sustainability
was
higher
and
then
a
sustainability
planner
was
higher
and
we
bring
the
expertise
to
advise
the
major
and
common
council
on
how
to
proceed.
So
the
the
the
italian
deal
is
trying
to
address,
as
I
mentioned,
carbon
neutrality
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
city
can
be
the
first
100
carbon
neutral
city
in
the
united
states
and
possibly
in
the
planet.
I
So
to
do
that,
we
need
to
look
at
the
carbon
emissions
and-
and
that
is
you
know
how
how
much
we
emit
to
the
atmosphere
through
economic
activity
and
we
right
now.
We
estimate
that
we
have
about
400
000
metric
tons
of
co2,
that
we
produce
every
year
through
economic
activity
and,
and
that
is
the
equivalent
of
about
90
000
vehicles
going.
I
You
know
at
the
same
time,
so
that's
so
you
get
an
idea
of
what
the
emissions
are
in
the
city
and
when
we
look
at
the
source
of
those
emissions,
we
see
that
most
of
the
emissions
come
from
buildings
about
40
percent,
come
from
buildings,
and
that
is
energy
used
inside
buildings
to
to
heat
our
spaces
or
to
heat
water
or
to
cook
you
know,
produces
emissions,
and
that
is
about
40
of
what
we
have
in
the
city.
I
Also
40
comes
from
transportation
and,
and
that
is
mostly
from
passenger
vehicles,
but
also
from
transit
from
refuse
trucks
from
off-road
vehicles.
Anything
that
has
wheels
about
15
comes
from
the
grid,
and-
and
this
might
be
surprising
to
some
of
you,
but
the
reality
is
that,
because
of
where
we
are
in
the
electric
grid
in
the
state
of
new
york,
there
is
a
very
high
likelihood
that
our
electricity
is
almost
eighty
percent
carbon
free.
I
I
So
the
idea
was
to
then
try
to
approach
this
in
a
very
different
way,
mostly
because
all
plans
that
the
government
that
sorry
the
the
planet
had
to
fight
climate
change
was
to
try
to
achieve
carbon
neutrality
by
2050..
However,
in
this
resolution
in
2019,
the
city
decided
to
do
it
by
2030..
I
This
decision
was
validated
by
the
rest
of
the
world
because
in
glasgow,
the
climate
summit
at
the
end
of
2021,
the
entire
planet
began
to
agree
that
probably
we
need
to
accelerate
the
pace
and
we
need
to
reduce
emissions
and
right
now,
2030
is
becoming
the
target
for
most
cities
for
most
states
from
most
countries.
It
is
a
very,
very
difficult
task.
It's
one
of
those
things
that
you
know
it's
only
comparable
to
the
moon,
landing
or
comparable
to
other
other
things,
such
as
developing
a
vaccine
in
six
months.
I
It
is
very
difficult,
but
not
impossible,
so
the
strategy
that
the
city
is
having
is
doing
basically
three
things
and
we
are
lucky
effort,
one
so
we're
gonna.
Do
energy
efficiency
across
all
aspects
of
the
economy.
We're
gonna
try
to
reduce
carbon
emissions
from
the
electric
grid.
That
is
we're
gonna,
try
to
make
our
electricity
as
clean
as
possible
and
we're
gonna
try
to
electrify
everything
that
we
can
electrify.
I
I
A
way
of
looking
at
this
is,
for
example,
if
we
are
going
to
reduce
30
percent
of
our
emissions
just
by
implementing
energy
efficiency.
That
means
that
we
need
to
tackle
our
buildings
that
we
need
means
that
our
buildings
need
to
be
thermally
efficient.
That
also
means
that
we
need
to
change
the
way
we
look
at
waste
and
we
need
to
start
thinking
in
terms
of
circularity.
That
is
no
longer
waste.
We
need
to
think
about
materials
management.
I
We
need
to
reduce
the
number
of
miles
that
we
travel
in
passenger
vehicles
on
single
passenger
vehicles.
We
need
to
increase
ridership
in
in
transit,
but
we
also
need
to
provide
multiple
options,
so
people
can
have
different
alternatives
for
moving
around
in
the
city
without
requiring
to
use
their
own
vehicle.
I
When
we
talk
about
electrification-
and
we
think
that
through
electrification,
we
can
reduce
30
of
the
emissions
in
the
city,
it
means
that
our
space
heater,
our
water
heater,
our
cooktops,
our
clothes
dryers-
can
become
can
be
turned
into
electric.
That
is,
we
can
use
heat
pump
technology
that
is
widely
available
today
in
different
variations
of
the
technology,
but
that
all
of
them
could
replace
all
of
those
elements.
I
Also,
we
can
electrify,
or
at
least
promote
that
people
substitute
their
their
vehicles
for
electric
vehicles,
and
for
that
we
need
to
deploy
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure
in
the
city
in
different
ways,
and
that
includes
for
municipal
operations,
but
also
includes
the
public.
We
need
to
have
the
necessary
infrastructure,
so
the
public
can
charge
electric
vehicles,
especially
those
that
don't
have
a
garage
or
a
place
to
have
their
own.
I
I
Right
now,
there
are
systems
that
are
at
a
point
where
they
are
affordable,
where
we
can
charge
these
batteries
with
solar
energy
during
the
day
and
then
use
the
batteries
during
the
night
and
then
slowly
but
surely
reducing
the
amount
of
electricity
that
we
consume
from
the
grid.
We're
also
looking
into
things
like
community
choice,
aggregation
that
would
enable
the
city
to
procure
to
procure
electricity
and
supply
electricity
to
the
community
from
carbon
free
sources
that
is
from
renewable
energy.
I
But
we
also
when
we
talk
about
the
carbonization
means
either
eliminating
all
the
carbon
that
is
existing
the
electricity
or
reduce
the
carbon
to
the
best
of
our
ability
in
other
forms
of
energy.
For
example,
we
use
energy
to
move
a
vehicle
by
burning
fossil
fuels.
So
if
we
were
able
to
replace
what
we
burned
to
do
that,
for
example,
if
we
were
to
have
hydrogen
vehicles,
we
would
be
able
also
to
decarbonize
previous
strokes
or
or
other
type
of
vehicles.
I
That
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
looking
into
purely
electric
forms
of
transportation,
but
we
need
to
look
at
the
alternatives
because
at
some
point
the
decision
will
need
to
be
made
in
terms
of
what
is
the
most
convenient,
most
affordable
and
most
future
proof.
We
can
say
and
and
then
there
is
a
need
to
look
at
natural
forms
of
carbon
sequestration
that
is
trees
having
more
trees
to
sequester
carbon.
We
can
also
look
at
what
we're
doing
with
organic
waste,
for
example
with
the
sludge
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
I
Can
we
actually
use
that
to
sequester
carbon
by
incinerating
everything
using
a
system
called
pyrolysis,
but
if
we
were
to
incinerate
organic
waste,
that
is
food
scraps
or
the
sludge
from
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
at
such
high
temperature
that
no
emissions
are
going
to
the
atmosphere
we
could
produce
something
that
is
called
biochar.
That
is
fantastic
for
the
soil,
for
example.
I
But
when
we
are
talking
about
doing
this,
we
need
to
remember
that
we
need
to
do
it
with
climate
justice
in
mind.
That's
what
the
green
new
deal
is
about.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it
keeping
in
mind
that
some
parts
of
the
population
in
the
city
have
not
been
served
right
so
right
now.
I
We
also
need
to
realize
that,
in
order
to
do
this
in
order
to
substitute
all
these
appliances,
for
example,
we
need
a
workforce
that
currently
doesn't
live
in
the
city
of
itaca,
so
we
need
we
need
to
be
creative
and
we
need
to
work
with
tc3
tst
bosses,
cooperative
extension
and
many
other
organizations
like
finger
lakes,
reuse
to
create
a
new
program
to
train
the
workforce
of
the
future.
I
But
when
we
do
this
the
moment
we
start
electrifying
more
aspects
of
the
city.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
electricity,
sorry
the
infrastructure,
is
reliable
and
resilient.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
when
we
electrified
the
city,
nothing
is
going
to
catch
fire.
So
we
are
doing
studies
at
the
same
time
assessing
the
reliability
of
the
current
infrastructure
and
how
resilient
it
could
be
to
a
climate
change
event
such
as
extreme
cold
or
extreme
heat
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
city.
I
If
it
is
to
meet
the
objectives
of
the
ataca
green
new
deal
and
remove
carbon
emissions,
and
that
is
electrifying
most
of
the
energy
used
in
the
city.
Then
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
energy
in
a
very
different
way.
There's
going
to
be
a
need
to
manage
the
way
we
produce
electricity
with
solar
panels,
for
example,
and
the
way
we
consume
consume
electricity
and
the
rates
that
we
pay,
and
for
that
we're
working
very
very
closely
with
the
utility
company.
I
We
are
having
meetings
on
a
weekly
basis,
just
to
make
sure
that
everything
that
we
do
is
on
right.
So,
just
to
summarize,
all
of
that
that
we
need
to
do
and
that
we're
trying
to
do
in
the
itaka
green
new
deal
is
divided
in
two
types
of
programs.
Six
of
them.
I
We
call
them
foundational
programs,
because
it's
the
plan,
the
climate
action
plan
that
we
need
to
have-
and
we
expect
to
have,
at
the
end
of
this
year
at
climate
justice
strategy,
to
make
sure
that
we
address
social
injustice
and
economic
inequality,
workforce
development-
and
we
are
also
cooperating
with
diverse
international
organizations
that
are
giving
us
ideas
and
and
better
understanding
of
the
different
options
for
financing
and
for
technology
and
also
we're
engaging
the
community
differently.
I
We
are
trying
to
have
a
conversation
with
them
and
we
are
also
working
with
different
organizations
that
want
to
have
a
scorecard
just
to
make
sure
that
we
are
delivering
on
our
promises
and,
finally,
the
programs
that
are
related
to
the
way
we
transform
our
infrastructure.
That
includes
the
way
we
look
at
waste.
The
way
we
deploy
energy
storage
or
solar
panels.
The
way
we
procure
electricity
with
community
choice
aggregation
the
way
we
look
at
our
fleet
and
the
infrastructure
that
we
need
for
our
fleet
to
be
electric.
I
We
are
also
looking
at
retrofitting
and
electrifying
as
many
buildings
as
we
can
in
the
city,
which
is
was
passed
in
a
resolution
on
november
3rd
2021,
and
also
we're
looking
at
what
sources
we
have
to
produce
low
carbon
fuels
such
as
hydrogen.
I
These
are
the
key
components
of
the
ethical
new
deal,
and
this
is
what
we're
trying
to
do
right
now
and
we're
going
to
have
many
more
of
these
conversations
and
I'll
be
very
happy
to
respond
right
now
or
later
on
on
an
individual
basis.
If
you
want
any
questions
that
you
may
have
about,
the
tech
grid,
video.
C
Thank
you
luis.
That's
a
great
presentation,
a
lot
of
information
in
there,
so
it's
good
to
have
those
slides
for
for
all
of
us
to
look
back
at
and
for
the
public
to
to
look
at,
and
I
know
that
you've
had
conversations
with
a
number
of
groups.
Organizations
neighborhood
groups.
Are
there
questions
for
luis
this
evening.
C
H
Thank
you,
luis.
That
was
a
very
detailed
presentation.
Thank
you.
So
much
can
I
presume
from
your
presentation
that
a
community-wide
energy
analysis
has
been
completed
or
is
your
presentation
based
on
estimates.
I
We
know
the
energy
that
the
city
consumes
and
we
know
where
the
energy
comes
from.
We
also
know
how
much
electricity
comes
from
the
utility
company
and
how
much
it
comes
from
energy
resources
like
solar
panels,
but
I
believe
that
you
might
be
asking
also
about
carbon
emissions,
whether
we
have
completed
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory.
I
Yes,
no
right
now
we
completed
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory
for
municipal
operations
that
we
know
now
for,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
the
number
one
and
two
sources
of
emissions
in
the
city
are
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
the
second
one
would
be
the
fleet
for
the
police
department.
I
We
are
in
the
middle
of
well,
we
are
almost
completing
the
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
inventory.
We
should
have
a
report
in
terms
of
how
much
how
many
emissions
we
have
and
where
they
come
from.
I
hope
by
october
this
year.
C
Louise,
I
have
a
question.
One
of
the
questions
I
hear
from
members
of
the
public
has
to
do
with
charging
stations
and
where
we
are,
including
incorporating
charging
stations
and
how
many
charging
stations
you
anticipate,
will
be
needed
throughout
the
city
to
reach
our
goals,
especially
if
we
are
moving
city
fleet
increasingly
to
carbon
engine.
I
Yeah,
we
have
a
projection
in
terms
of
the
number
of
electric
vehicles
that
we're
going
to
have
by
2030,
and
we
are
also
doing
a
projection
in
terms
of
how
many
of
those
are
going
to
be
second
hand.
Electric
vehicles,
and
that
is
because
we
are
also
working
with
financial
institutions
to
create
a
very,
very
affordable
program
for
low-income
people,
backed
by
the
state
government,
to
be
able
to
acquire
a
secondhand
electric
vehicle
for
very
little
money.
And
if
we
are
successful
at
doing
that,
and
we
managed
to
get
financial
inclusion
for
everybody
to
occur.
I
An
electric
vehicle
that
means
that
the
charging
stations
that
we
need
to
have
will
need
to
be
a
combination
of
what
is
called
level
two
charging
stations
for
the
current
and
the
previous
generation
of
electric
vehicles
and
also
fast
charging
stations.
We
also
believe
that
by
2030
we're
going
to
have
wireless
charging
station
technology,
so
at
this
point
the
policy
is
to
have-
and
this
is
the
recommendation
by
international
groups-
is
to
have
one
charging
station
for
every
16
vehicles.
I
So
the
intention
is
to
deploy
at
least
500
charging
stations
by
in
the
next
five
years,
and
it
would
be
a
combination
of
level
two
and
fast
charging
stations
and
also
it
would
be
a
combination
of
curbside
charging
stations
and
in
parking
lots
and
also
what
is
called
behind
defense
charging
stations,
which
would
be,
for
example,
for
exclusive
use
of
the
fire
department
of
the
jude
bureau,
diac,
etc.
I
And
the
intention
is
also
to
find
some
technology
partners
that
could
help
regular
citizens
that
regular
residents
of
the
city
that
would
want
to
have
a
charging
station
at
their
home.
So
this
year
we
should
start
this.
I
should
have
before
common
council
a
proposal
for
deploying
these
500
charging
stations,
including
a
financial
model
to
pay
for
them
and
a
revenue
model
for
the
city
to
benefit
from
the
deployment
of
this
technology.
C
I
That
is
in
addition
to
what
we
currently
have
at
this
point.
Is
it's
difficult
to
tell
how
many,
because
most
of
the
charging
stations
we
have
are
in
people's
homes?
So
so
we
don't
know
what
the
number
is
right.
Now
we
go
by
the
number
of
teslas
that
we
have
in
the
city,
they
might
be
like
150,
but
we
don't
know
the
exact
number
at
this
point,
we're
going
with
what
we
project
will
be
growth
in
the
future.
J
Thank
you
laura
louise.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation.
Am
I
correct
in
hearing
what
you
said
that
the
the
police
vehicles
are
the
second
highest
carbon
footprint
of
in
the
city
with
more
than
dpw.
I
Yeah
the
the
vehicles-
I
mean
right
now
with
the
inventory
that
we
did,
the
the
police
fleet
produces
more
emissions,
their
own
all
the
time.
I
No,
that
is
a
good
point.
It
was
separated
in
a
different
category.
So
what
what
we
didn't
do
is
just
dpw
compared
to
just
police
department
or
compared
to
just
because
we're
going
mostly
because
of
by
vehicles
versus
heating
and
activity
from
each
department.
But
rebecca
has
the
information
for
all
of
that.
So
I
am
sure
that
we
can
provide
different
ways
of
presenting
the
data.
Okay,.
B
Yes,
thanks
lauren
and
thanks
louise
for
the
presentation,
just
you
know
a
question.
Imagine
it
it's
quite
an
accomplishment
to
have
as
much
data
as
you
have
here
to
just
know
what
our
carbon
footprint
is
and
where
all
the
carbon
is
coming
from,
and
I
applaud
your
efforts
to
attain
all
that.
What
I'm
curious
about
is,
do
you
have
a
model
in
place
to
measure
or
predict?
B
I
There
is
two
elements
that
come
into
play:
one
of
them.
We
have
information
from
the
state
controller
that
tracks
economic
growth
and
and
population
changes
and
industry
changes.
We
also
have
information
from
the
state
from
the
climate
impact
assessment
that
shows
how
tompkins
count
in
comparison
with
other
counties
is
losing
or
gaining
a
population.
I
I
B
So
will
we
be
able
to
get
to
a
point
where
you
know
if
we're
experiencing
growth-
and
we
know
the
typical
amount
of
carbon
that
that
growth
adds
to
the
economy
where
we
can
also
derive
metrics,
saying
we've
numbed
the
effect
of
that
growth
consistently
based
on
our
efforts?
Will
we
be
able
to
get
there
consistently.
I
Yeah,
I
think
we
will
at
the
very
beginning,
I
said
that
the
the
part
of
what
the
resolution
meant
was
50
reduction
in
energy
intensity.
Energy
intensity
really
means
how
much
energy
per
unit
of
gdp
we
have
in
the
city,
so
by
reducing
energy
intensity
means
we
maintain
economic
growth
but
reduce
the
amount
of
energy
that
we
use
to
produce
growth.
And
then
you
reduce
the
number
of
the
amount
of
carbon
that
you
need
to
produce
that
energy
and
that's
the
way
you
are
promoting
a
reduction
of
absolute
carbon
emissions.
C
C
I
And
if
I
may
just
add
one
more
thing,
knowing
that
rob
and-
and
the
chief
are
here
part
of
what
the
sustainability
is
is
trying
to
do-
is
really
to
help
every
department
to
you
know
to
enable
this.
This
transition,
our
job,
is
not
to
get
in
the
way
it's
on
the
contrary,
giving
their
their
own
plans
and
and
the
plans
that
we
have
in
the
city
for
sustainability.
I
C
K
Yes,
yes,
I
I
I
thank
you
that
was
really
really
good
and
lots
of
information,
but
I
hear
you
speak
a
lot
about
this.
This
order
was
about
social
justice,
economic
and
you
know
really
in
in
plain
words
of
making
sure
we
focus
on
people
who
are
in
in
the
you
know,
lower
range
and
and
probably
a
lot
more
renting.
I
Sure
the
I
mean
the
answer
can
be
very
long,
but
the
short
version
is
we:
are
we
have
climate
justice
at
the
very
core
of
everything
that
we're
doing
and
planning
to
do?
The
city
passed
the
last
common
council
meeting
a
city
definition
for
climate
justice
communities
and
we
were
just
ahead
of
the
curve.
Other
cities,
I
was
having
conversations
with
rochester
and
with
elmira
and
binghamton,
and
apparently
the
proposed
definition
by
the
state
doesn't
really
match
the
needs
of
the
cities.
I
So
so
they
may
follow
the
city
of
ita
by
having
a
city
definition.
What
we
do
with
that
definition
is
to
first
recognize
those
that
have
historically
been
marginalized
or
systemically
disinvested
and
with
the
intention
of
correcting
that
and
the
way
we
correct,
that
is
by
proposing
a
designation
of
at
least
50
of
resources
to
go
to
those
communities.
I
Oh
okay,
what
that
means
is
if
we
were
to
follow
the
climate
justice
definition
in
the
city,
20
22
to
23
would
fall
in
that
category
and
if
we
were
to
have
redirect
some
of
the
benefits
to
that
group,
we
would
effectively
be
increasing
the
amount
of
support
that
we
give
those
groups
to
correct
those
historical
inequities.
K
C
I
C
L
Thank
you
and
luis
went
in
to
a
lot
of
detail
about
the
the
global
vision
for
the
city
and
its
attainment
to
the
goals
that
were
set
in
the
green
new
deal
from
the
resolution
in
2019.
L
L
It's
not
easy
in
some
respects
because
we're
dealing
with
some
very
new
technology
that
is
not
fully
developed
in
in
prime
time,
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
we're
seeing
just
this
year
a
lot
of
it's
in
concept.
But
what
I
want
to
share
with
you
is
where
what
we've
learned
and
where
we're
going
and
and
give
you
kind
of
a
road
map
in
the
direction.
It's
not
a
a
solid
road.
The
line
is
not
straight.
L
Some
of
this
will
depend
on
funding
depend
on
timing
with
other
city
priorities,
but
I
I
definitely
want
to
take
the
few
minutes
to
run
through
these
slides
and
share
with
you
and
then
leave
it
open
for
questions
at
the
end.
So,
let's
see
if
I
can
make
this
work
so
in
the
new
green
deal.
L
Obviously,
back
in
june
of
2019,
the
city
adopted
a
goal:
reducing
emissions
in
the
city
fleet
by
50,
from
the
2001
levels
to
2025,
and
the
city
was
to
adopt
goal
of
achieving
a
carbon
neutral
city
by
2030..
L
When
we
have
a
lot
of
heavy
apparatus,
it's
a
very
expensive
apparatus,
and
how
do
we
move
in
the
direction
that
the
rest
of
the
world
is
just
starting
in
and
how
do
we
get
there?
So
what
we've
done
so
far
is
we
before
we
could
have
access
to
electric
fire
apparatus
or
or
carbon
fuel?
Excuse
me,
hydrogen
fuel
apparatus
we've
been
purchasing
vehicles
with
clean
diesel
technology
vehicles
with
very
that
have
very
good
fuel
efficiency.
We
are
reducing
the
weight
of
our
apparatus
when
you're
carrying
less
weight.
L
The
battery-
and
we
are-
we-
have
our
second
engine-
that's
going
to
be
delivered
later
this
year,
we'll
that
will
have
this
technology
on
it,
and
we've
already
seen
the
re
some
of
the
savings
and
with
the
use
of
those
vehicle
without
the
use
of
those
appliances.
L
Right
now
we
have
three
hybrid
suv
staff
vehicles.
We
have
an
all-electric
pickup
truck.
That's
purchased,
we're
expecting
delivery
in
2022
we're
in
the
design
phase
of
the
still
fire
station,
which
was
we're
designing
to
be
a
hundred
percent
electric,
except
for
the
emergency
generator,
which
will
be
because
of
the
potential
for
having
long
power,
outages
and
a
natural
disaster.
L
We
do
have
to
have
emergency
generator
to
keep
the
station
operating,
so
we
have
a
diesel
emergency
generator,
but
that
will
be
the
only
internal
combustion
engine
that
will
be
in
that
station
and
we're
currently
investigating
electric
fire
truck
technology
chief
assistant.
Excuse
me,
deputy
chief
covert
and
lieutenant
jared
gebbel
went
to
indianapolis
to
a
fire
instructors
conference
where
several
of
the
large
truck
manufacturers,
including
the
ones
that
are
leading
the
way
and
electric
fire
truck
technology,
were
there.
L
They
got
a
chance
to
see
the
technology
firsthand
and
to
speak
with
the
manufacturers
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
of
what's
in
the
pipeline.
L
Currently
there
are
two
types
of
electric
fire
apparatus
being
manufactured:
one
is
a
hybrid
electric,
which
is,
if
any
of
you
have
heard.
Madison
wisconsin
is
currently
has
one
of
these
vehicles.
It's
a
concept
manufactured
by
pierce
manufacturing
in
in
in
wisconsin,
and
they
built
one
for
madison
to
test
the
concept
and
just
delivered
recently
to
the
city
of
los
angeles,
a
fully
electric
fire
truck
electric
drive
fire
truck
every
the
motor
and
the
train
in
the
and
the
the
motors
that
run
the
pumps.
L
The
motors
that
turn
the
wheels
are
all
electric
and
it
has
an
internal
combustion
engine
that
just
runs
as
a
as
a
generator
when
the
batteries
are
depleted
or
whether
it
needs
additional
power.
The
hybrid
design
is
again
is
very
similar
to
a
hybrid
automobile
there's,
a
transmission.
It
takes
input
from
an
electric
motor
power
powered
by
high
voltage
lithium
ion
batteries,
and
it
also
has
a
diesel
engine,
and
these
two
systems
are
independent.
L
The
vehicle
runs
on
batteries
for
the
most
part
until
the
batteries
are
depleted
down
to
about
20
percent,
and
then
the
diesel
engine
takes
over
at
the
scene
of
a
major
emergency
or
fire
where
the
truck
may
be
pumping
water
for
for
hours
or
so
we,
the
the
diesel
engine,
is
likely
to
take
over
and
and
and
it
has
the
capacity
and
has
the
power
to
be
able
to
pump
the
water
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
The
batteries
on
the
engine
are
only
charged
back
at
the
station.
L
There
is
no
ability
to
self
to
self
power
the
batteries
or
charge
them
up
with
this
hybrid
design,
and
the
positive
thing
about
this
is
that
this
design
can
actually
support
any
type
size
fire
truck.
So
as
we
look
at
later
on
about
aerial
trucks,
which
are
very
large,
this
type
of
system
would
be
available
and
can
power
those
madison
wisconsin's
fire
department's
experience
in
their
concept
year,
they've
run
about
1800
emergency
calls.
Average
response
is
about
eight
miles
and
the
lowest
charge
percentage
they've
seen
is
70
percent.
L
The
only
issue
they
have
had
is
heat
and
air
conditioning,
as
well
as
defrosting
the
windows
which
the
manufacturer
reminded
with
an
electric
defrost
kit.
The
electric
bill
for
the
fire
station,
where
this
truck
is
located
is
is
doubled,
since
the
truck
was
delivered
fully.
Electric
driven
fire
apparatus,
which
is
typical
to
a
european
design,
the
one
on
the
left
shown,
is
produced
by
rosenbauer.
A
european
manufacturer
in
europe.
L
They've
had
this
type
of
vehicle
in
service
for
a
couple
years
now,
so
they
have
a
little
bit
more
experience,
but
they've
now
adapted
for
the
american
fire
service
capable
of
carrying
more
water
and
having
larger
pump
capacities.
Another
manufacturer
is
also
producing
a
electric.
This
is
strictly
a
concept.
They
have
not
produced
a
production
model
yet,
but
they
expect
to
be
delivering
one.
Later.
This
year,
electric
fire
truck
the
electric
motor
powers,
the
pump,
the
motor,
the
pumps
required
about
1900
kilowatts
of
energy
to
flow
1250,
gallons,
a
minute
a
diesel
generator.
L
What's
on
there.
It
minim
produces
the
minimum
amount
of
power
to
to
keep
the
pump
going.
The
battery
capacity
varies
between
manufacturers
from
130
kilowatt
hours.
Up
to
316
kilowatt
hours
and
the
difference
is,
is
about
how
long
the
truck
can
pump
water
before
it
needs
to
use
a
diesel
engine.
L
L
Electric
fire
truck
charging
is
in-station
charging
takes
any
depending
on
the
size
of
the
batteries
35
to
90
minutes
the
it
also
has
an
electric
fire
truck
as
far
as
electric
dry
fire
truck
have
regenerative
braking.
So
when
the
truck's
going
down
the
hill,
the
the
motors
that
are
powering
the
electric
basically
can
generate
electricity
that
go
back
in
the
battery
system
and
of
course,
it
does
have
an
on
board
diesel
motor
to
supplement
when
the
batteries
are
drained
down.
L
Warranties
for
these
types
of
vehicles
are
two
to
five
years.
One
manufacturer
offers
a
bumper
to
bump
and
full
service
warranty
up
to
five
years
and
extended
warranties
are
available
for
additional
fees.
Batteries
on
these
trucks
are
warrantied
up
to
10
years.
L
As
I
said
in
in
europe,
they've
had
electric
vehicles
a
few
cup
a
few
years.
More
than
we've
had
rosenbauer
has
one
in
berlin.
It's
been
operating
for
third
for
13
months
out
of
three
different
stations
over
10
000
responses,
8
700
miles
driven,
it's
responded
to
all
alarms,
dispatch.
30
minutes
is
their
average
call
time
and
more
than
95
percent
of
the
calls
were
100
electric.
L
Only
at
10
times
out
of
those
10
000
responses.
Did
the
diesel
engine
engage
due
to
low
battery
anyway,
and
it
was
while
the
vehicle
was
returning.
L
Here's
the
shocking
part,
and
it
shouldn't
be
shocking,
because
I
think
we
all
understand
when
you're
dealing
with
new
technology
and
new
power
systems,
they're
expensive,
united
states,
a
traditional
us
bumper
design
with
an
internal
combustion
engine,
cost
about
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars.
When
we
look
at
a
hybrid
or
electric
fire
pump,
the
costs
are
going
to
be
at
about
1.4
to
1.6
million
dollars,
and
this
is
a
range
for
a
fire
pumper
one
that
pumps
water
and
carries
water.
L
As
we
look
at
the
fire
stations,
they
need
to
be
upgraded
to
so
that
they
accommodate
rapid
charges
for
the
fire
trucks
and
doing
some
rough
numbers.
Based
on
what
some
information
we've
got
from
tcat
that
that
cost
to
convert
our
three
three
fire
stations
is
except
these
tail
fire
station,
which
we're
going
to
build.
That
and
design
is
about
a
million
dollars
to
upgrade
the
fire
stations.
L
One
of
the
challenges
on
upgrading
the
fire
stations
is
these
chargers,
take
up
quite
a
bit
of
space
and
the
fire
stations
were
not
designed
to
have
these
chargers
in
those
in
the
apparatus
room.
So
we're
going
to
have
to
be
looking
about
creative
ways
to
to
install
these
so
that
the
vehicles
can
be
charged
as
well.
As
you
know,
there's
plenty
of
working
space
around
the
trucks
for
firefighters
to
service
or
work
on
the
vehicles
themselves.
L
Tcat
is
it's
a
challenge
if
you've,
if
any
of
you've
been
down
the
tcat
and
seeing
their
their
chargers
inside
they're
out
of
their
garages,
you'll
notice,
they
take
up
quite
a
bit
of
space
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
room
between
the
buses
and
the
chargers.
So
we're
going
to
be
faced
with
a
little
bit
of
that
challenge,
but
you
know
we're.
We
have
time
to
be
thinking
about
it,
how
we
can
be
creative
about
how
to
make
this
work.
L
Monetary
estimates.
So
this
comes
from
one
of
the
manufacturers
and
they
using
an
estimated
17-year
urban
apparatus,
estimate
they.
Their
total
savings
for
transitioning
from
internal
combustion
engine
to
an
electric
fire
engine
is
savings
about
155
000.
They
estimated
their
fuel
cost
in.
This
was
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
just
in
diesel
fuel.
L
I
did
a
calculation
for
the
same
period
based
on
our
current
usage
on
our
on
our
clean
diesel
engines,
and
we
would
save
about
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars
not
not
about
three-quarters
of
what
they
they
calculated
in
their
monetary
estimates.
So,
if
there's
an
expectation
that
somehow
transitioning
from
internal
combustion
engine
powered
fire
trucks
to
electric
fire
trucks
is
going
to
be,
you
know
vast
amounts
of
savings.
L
There
isn't
the
the
point
is
the
transition
is
about
getting
to
a
carbon
neutral
community
and
the
way
we
have
to
do
that
is.
We
have
to
move
despite
the
cost
in
the
direction
of
of
electric
powered
vehicles.
Lewis
did
mention
about
hydrogen
fuel
right
now
in
the
industry
and
I'm
not
aware
of
it
in
the
large
truck
industry,
but
but
at
least
in
the
fire
apparatus
or
injury.
There
is
no
testing
or
concept
vehicles
being
investigated
using
hydrogen
as
a
fuel
source.
L
Everything
is
being
designed
for
battery
battery
systems,
so
the
fire
department
plan
for
the
green
new
deal
goals
for
the
vehicles
is
in
2023
is
to
move
forward
to
purchase
one
electric
powered
heavy
rescue.
This
is
a
truck
that's
due
to
be
replaced
this
coming
year
and
as
well
as
pop
purchase,
two
electric
powered
pumpers.
L
L
cost
of
those
three
vehicles
is
4.8
million
dollars,
and
our
goal
was
to
have
them
delivered
in
2024
right
now,
because
the
the
the
industry
is
just
tooling
up
to
produce
these
we're
expecting
it's
going
to
be
at
least
two
years
from
the
time
we
order
them
until
their
time
they're
delivered
2023
we're
put
pushing
forward
with
modifying
three
stations
for
electric
chargers
for
electric
powered
fire
trucks.
We
believe
it'll
be
around
a
million
dollars,
maybe
a
little
bit
less
and
the
again.
L
We're
also
hoping
to
complete
the
construction
of
the
steel
fire
station,
which,
which
will
be
fully
electric
with
the
charging
stations
for
electric
fire
trucks,
and,
and
that
is
our
goal
for
2024
as
far
as
completion
after
that
in
2026,
we'll
be
looking
at
purchasing
a
first
electric
powered
aerial
truck
we're
estimating
cost,
based
on
the
current
cost
of
a
of
a
internal
combustion
aerial
truck
with
a
electric
drive
system
at
about
3.3
million
dollars
for
one
vehicle
and
again
we're
looking
for
a
two-year
from
the
time
we
order
till
the
time
that's
delivered
it's
2028.
L
and
then
in
2028.
The
goal
would
be
to
purchase
two
more
electric
powered
fire
pumpers
at
3.2
million
for
delivery
in
2030.
and
and
by
2033.
We'll
actually
begin
we'll
be
at
the
point
where
we'll
be
phasing
out
all
of
our
internal
combustion
engines,
powered
engines
so
we'll
be
purchasing
two
additional
electric
powered
pumper
trucks
and
one
electric
powered
aerial
truck,
and
we
expect
that
cost
in
and
around
2033,
and
I
haven't
done
any
inflationary
adjustments
at
about
5.5
million
dollars
with
a
goal
of
having
it
delivered
by
2035..
L
So
these
are
pretty
pretty
pretty
hefty
challenges
we
have
ahead
of
us,
but
I
wanted
to
at
least
get
this
out
in
front
of
you,
so
you
see
what's
coming
and
I
wanted
to
put
some
real
dollars
out
there.
So
you
see
that
you
know
this
is
this
is
going
to
be
very
expensive,
but
you
know
these
are
very
important
goals
that
the
city's
has
committed
itself
to
meet
and
as
part
of
that
effort
as
a
department
that
you
know
that
has
heavy
apparatus
we're.
L
This
is
the
direction
we
have
we're
we're
heading
to
the
one
other
point
I
didn't
put
in
the
slide
set
is
that
we
are
slowly
moving
in
the
direction
that
all
our
replacement,
smaller
vehicles
will
be
electric
vehicles
moving
forward.
L
We
may
have
a
couple
more
hybrids
added
to
the
fleet,
but
we're
every
year
we're
going
to
try
to
replace
through
our
operating
budget
by
adding
another
additional
electric
vehicle
to
the
fleet,
so
that
eventually
we'll
get
all
our
smaller
vehicles
converted
over
in
about
you
know,
six
or
seven
years
so
anyways
any
questions
that
you
may
have
and
I'm
sorry
it
took
so
long.
I
was
trying
to
do
this
in
15
or
less
like
too
much
information.
That's.
C
M
Thank
you
laura
thanks
chief
for
the
presentation,
one
question
about
batteries.
What
is
the
estimated
lifespan
of
the
battery?
I
saw
in
your
presentation
there
that
they're
warrantied
for
10
years,
if
they're
anything
like
consumer
rechargeable
batteries,
I
I
would
kind
of
want
to
know
how
significant
the
cost
of
replacement
is
relative
to
the
cost
of
the
apparatus
overall,
given
that
we'll
likely
want
to
extend
the
life
of
the
apparatus.
I
also
know
that
we
have
some
existing
apparatus
that
were
procured
around
the
time
that
I
was
born.
L
We're
we
typically
try
to
keep
you
know
our
turnovers
about
15
years
for
apparatus
it
used
to
be
20
and
25,
and
we
were
spending
so
much
money,
keeping
them
going
but
get
to
the
question
about
the
batteries.
I
honestly
don't
know
I
I
do
know
what
we
you
know.
We
know
we
have
hybrid
vehicles
with
early
battery
technology,
they're
on
the
road
today
and-
and
they
they've
been
on
the
road
for
15
years
or
more
without.
I
suspect
that
these
batteries
are
going
to
have
a
long
life
span
beyond
10
years.
L
But
if,
if
there's
a
battery
failure
or
some
type
of
system
failure
within
the
battery
management
system,
we
may
end
up
having
to
replace
them
sooner
and
obviously
we
are
hoping
that
battery
technology
will
actually
mature
so
that
we're
actually
getting
more
power
per
pound
of
battery
than
that's
on
the
truck.
So
it
may
be
actually
advantageous
for
us
in
10
years
to
start
replacing
batteries
because
we'll
be
getting
more
power
out
of
them
and
and
and
more
longer
life.
L
So
again,
we're
we're
at
the
end,
at
the
at
the
opening
of
the
the
door
of
this
industry,
united
states
we're
trying
to
get
our
foot
in
there
and
trying
to
you
know,
move
in
a
direction
cautiously.
But
I
I
don't
have
a
crystal
ball
to
predict
what
this
is
going
to
be
like
in
10
years,
thanks
chief.
N
Super
quick
comment:
you
probably
know
this
already,
but
it's
important
to
note
that
tcat
didn't
pay
for
those
buses.
There
was
fta
federal
transit
authority
grants,
the
vw,
dieselgate
scandal,
money
and
nicer
the
the
new
york
state
energy
effort,
what
they
stand
for,
but
in
short,
lots
of
grant
money
out
there,
especially
if
we
are
among
the
first
to
act
thanks
chief
great
presentation.
O
P
Yeah
duckson
hit
my
question
so
I'll
just
add
my
thanks
for
a
really
great
thorough
presentation,
and
I
do
hope
that
being
one
of
these
sort
of
early
adopters
behind
the
green
new
deal
and
other
initiatives
will
put
us
in
a
good
place
for
some
of
that
grant
money
that
could
close.
That
gap
so
really
appreciate.
Having
this
opportunity
to
see.
You
know
what
this
commitment
means
for
the
city.
So
thanks
chief,
thank
you.
B
Yes,
thanks
chief
great
presentation-
and
you
know
just
really
exciting-
that
we're
investing
in
these
vehicles
and
planning
for
the
future.
B
In
this
way,
I
think
it'll
be
something
that
all
the
things
can
be
proud
of,
but
you
know
I
just
noticed
in
the
midst
of
this
luis
answered
the
question
of
the
batteries
here
at
the
end
of
the
line
here,
life
for
those
types
of
batteries
should
be
20
years
with
warranties
of
10
years,
which
can
be
renewed
at
the
end
of
each
period,
but
makes
me
think
you
know
elise
might
have
a
bit
more
to
add
here
in.
B
In
reflection,
I'm
sure
you
guys
have
been
collaborating
to
come
to
these
this
approach
to
the
future
of
the
fire
department,
but
perhaps
we
could
bring
louise
to
you
know
just
kind
of
reflect
on
what's
been
presented
here
and
offer
another
perspective.
If
we
could
invite
him
in.
I
Yeah,
if
I
were
to
add
anything,
is
that
you
know
drop
in
the
fire
department
is
probably
one
of
the
most
knowledgeable
persons
for
electric
vehicles
that
we
have
in
the
entire
city,
and
I'm
very
sure
that
you
know
all
of
this
information
has
been
well
researched.
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
is
you
know
the
entire
transition
for
the
interior
new
deal
for
the
city
might
cost.
You
know
in
the
order
of
two
billion
dollars,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
need
to
pay
that
money.
I
There
are,
you
know
a
lot
of
stimulus.
There
is
a
a
lot
of
programs
with
the
federal
government
with
the
state
government,
and
there
are
ways
of
involving
private
players
to
participate
in
these.
So
I
believe
that
there
is
a
way
we
can
reduce
the
cost
of
this
transition
for
the
fire
department
alone
by
at
least
50
percent.
I
You
know
using
a
combination
of
funds
and
blended
finance
schemes,
so
I'll
continue
working
with
the
fire
department
to
make
this
happen
and
about
the
batteries
the
batteries
now,
especially
with
the
type
of
use
that
the
fire
department
will
give.
It
should
be
about
20
years
and
and
that
can
be
corroborated
by
the
manufacturer
for
sure,
but
I
agree
with
synthetic.
We
just
need
to
have
an
official
note
from
the
manufacturer
about
that.
C
Thank
you
thanks
george
and
then
cynthia.
C
J
L
I
I
don't
I
I
suspect,
if
they
become
more
mainstream,
they
will
but
it
obviously
tcap
buses
haven't
decreased
in
their
prices,
they're
about
twice
the
cost
for
an
for
a
non-electric
vehicle
that
adding
to
electric
and
that's
what
we're
seeing
in
the
fire
press
industry.
It's
about
twice
the
cost.
L
Works
but
chief
cover
can
answer
that,
but
it's
last
I
knew
he
said
that
it
was
expected.
The
end
of
this
year.
H
Thanks
as
I
look
through
the
investment
in
equipment
and
possible
changes
to
all
of
our
fire
stations,
obviously
we
have
tcat.
We
have
other
equipment
uses.
Is
this
an
opportunity
that
we
might
look
at
working
with
neighboring
municipalities
or
other
departments
to
share
charging
stations
or
elements
like
that?
Presumably,
once
a
vehicle
is
charged,
it
could
be
then
returned
back
to
its
home
base
and
that
charging
station
could
be
used
for
another
vehicle
and
so
on.
What
made
me
think
about
this?
H
I'm
just
looking
at
how
we
could
reduce
redundancies,
how
we
can
reduce
costs,
how
we
can
integrate
more
of
our
departments
for
these
same
investments
so
that
we're
not
replicating
it
all
throughout
the
city.
C
Thanks
thanks
chief,
I
had
a
question
as
more
and
more
municipalities
may
be
looking
at
reducing
their
use
of
fossil
fuels
and
reducing
carbon
use.
C
Do
we
anticipate
longer
wait
time
on
ordering
some
of
the
vehicles
that
we
may
be
thinking
you
you
laid
out
what
would
be
ordered
in
2022,
2023
and
so
forth?
Right
now,
we
don't
have
a
large
capacity
production
in
in
the
united
states,
so
in
terms
of
supply
chain,
how
realistic
is
it
the
expectation
to
place
an
order
and
get
vehicles
on
the
timeframe
indicator.
L
Q
Q
You
know
they're
constrained
by
the
same,
you
know
constraints
with
availability
resources
that
a
lot
of
industries
are
now,
so
it
is
difficult
to
say,
but
all
the
manufacturers
are
planning.
You
know,
they've
put
a
lot
of
research
and
development
in
these
products
and
they're
very
excited
about
them,
and
they
want
to
get
them
out
into
into
real
fire
stations
to
do
more
real
world
get
more
real
world
information.
So
they're
certainly
looking
to
get
these
out
there.
C
Great,
thank
you
and
and
question
follow-up
to
chief
parsons
and
chief
covert.
We
have
a
cost
sharing
with
the
town.
Can
you
comment
on,
you
know,
have
you
presented
to
the
town
to
town
board
and
are
they
supportive
of
especially
these
increased
costs?
We
may
be
seen.
L
Well,
we
we've.
We
came
to
visit
the
common
council
first,
we
certainly
will
have
a
conversation
with
the
town
to
make
sure
we
have
their
buy-in,
but
I
think
rich
depaolo
expressed
the
sentiment
of
what
the
town's
trying
to
where
they're
heading
with
carbon
neutrality.
I
think
this
aligns
with
that.
It's
just
a
matter
of
the
timing
and
the
speed.
C
O
B
Yeah
not
another
question
just
you
know.
I
think
I
wanted
to
say
something
about
kind
of
on
the
lines
of
what
luis
was
saying,
that
as
we're
going
to
gain
more
momentum
as
we
go
here,
and
I
think
what
people
really
recognize
outside
of
ithaca
and
beyond
is
is
just
the
courage
that
we're
showing
that
we're
making
every
choice.
You
know
focused
on
this
agenda
and
as
that
builds
momentum,
I
think
we're
going
to
see
inbound
investment
in
the
city.
That's
going
to
help
us
afford
some
of
these.
C
Thanks
jeff
phoebe
did
you
have
a
question
or
comment.
C
All
right
any
additional
questions
or
comments
from
colleagues,
council,
colleagues,.
C
Okay,
well,
thank
you,
so
much
chief
parsons
chief
covert
pleasure
to
have
you
here
this
evening
for
this
presentation
and
to.
C
Thank
you,
okay.
We
will
now
move
on
with
consent.
C
A
G
Okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
good,
okay,
hi!
My
name
is
marty
hiller,
I'm
a
resident
of
fall
creek,
I'm
here
tonight
to
voice
my
support
for
ducks
and
lillian's
proposal
to
move
toward
establishing
a
new
department
of
community
safety
using
the
structure
recommended
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group.
G
I
want
to
thank
duckson
for
his
leadership
on
this
important
issue.
It
takes
courage
to
step
into
such
a
controversy
and
I
think
he's
right
that
we're
ready
to
move
forward
and
we're
ready
to
give
the
public
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
I've
read
the
working
group
report
dated
february
23rd
and
its
recommendations
seem
sound
and
well
grounded
to
me.
G
The
group
is
highly
qualified
to
do
this
work.
We
couldn't
have
asked
for
better
leadership
and
I've
been
impressed
by
what
I've
seen
of
the
collaborative
and
evidence-based
approach
used
by
the
center
for
policing
equity.
It
makes
sense
to
bring
policing
and
community
solutions
together
side
by
side
in
one
department.
G
G
G
C
And
I
should
have
mentioned,
as
we
moved
into
public
comment,
that
each
speaker
will
have
up
to
three
minutes
and
I
think
julie,
you'll.
Let
people
know
once
they
reach
them.
Three
minutes.
R
Yep,
thank
you
yeah.
Thank
you.
For
the
time
hello,
my
name
is
carson
and
as
a
20
year
old
black
man,
I'm
here
to
plead
with
the
council
to
not
waste
this
opportunity
to
move
towards
a
system
of
public
safety
that
will
better
serve
all
ithacants,
including
those
that
look
like
me,
I'm
so
inspired
by
the
way
that
members
of
this
community
have
come
together
to
explore
the
best
ways
to
improve
our
current
system
and
I'm
ready
to
see
ithaca
lead
the
way
in
the
progress
on
this
critical
and
deeply
personal
issue.
R
My
dad's
black
and
my
mom
is
white,
and
my
maternal
grandparents
spend
winters
in
florida
every
year
and
before
I
left
for
college,
I
would
occasionally
take
their
or
take
care
of
their
yard
shovel
snow
do
whatever
yard
work
they
needed,
while
they're
in
florida,
and
one
day
shortly
after
george
floyd
was
killed.
I
went
over
to
blow
leaves
and,
as
I
was
walking
along
the
side
of
their
house,
I
found
myself
feeling
terrified.
R
You
know
what,
if
somebody
saw
me
and
felt
like
I
didn't,
belong
there,
what
if
they
called
the
police,
I
began
plotting
how,
if
I
could
just
persuade
the
police
officers
to
come
inside
in
the
house
and
look
at
the
pictures
of
me
on
the
mantel
and
on
the
fridge,
and
they
would
know
that
I'm
here
helping
my
grandparents,
I'm
just
a
kid:
do
some
yard
work
and
I'm
not
some
home
intruder,
but
you
know
I
didn't
know
if
I'd
have
the
chance
to
convince
them
of
that,
you
know
I've,
nothing
against
police.
R
My
uncle
on
my
mom's
side's,
a
police
officer,
he's
a
wonderful
man.
I've
always
been
a
rule,
follower
myself
and
never
really
got
into
much
trouble,
and
in
that
moment
I
was
trying
to
convince
myself
that
I
had
no
reason
to
fear,
but
I
know
that
unconscious
bias
has
terrorized
countless
people,
including
people
of
color,
those
experienced
poverty,
those
experiencing
homelessness,
those
struggling
with
their
mental
health,
and
I
know
that
we
can
do
better
than
this
current
system.
R
I
believe
that
the
structure,
the
training
and
the
methods
of
data
collection
and
reporting
included
in
this
plan
will
go
a
long
way
to
bring
needed
change
change
that
will
be
better
for
the
police
and
better
for
all
citizens.
Please
bring
the
reimagining
public
safety
plan
up
for
a
vote
and
please
pass
this
bill.
Thank
you.
S
S
S
It
seems
certain
members
of
common
council
believe
their
constituents
are
all
property
people
wanting
the
ithaca
police
to
keep
their
property
values
safe.
I
am
here
to
assure
you
these
constituents
are
grossly
outnumbered
by
people
who
do
not
feel
safer
with
the
policing
status
quo.
In
fact,
quite
the
opposite.
S
Having
no
legitimate
means
to
get
rid
of
reimagining
public
safety,
a
couple
common
council
members
seek
to
derail
it
through
ethics
concerns,
apparently
prioritizing
a
cozy
relationship
with
the
ipd
and
property-owning
constituents
who
dial
9-1-1
at
the
first
sign
of
a
student
party.
It
will
be
disgusting
if
we
let
them
get
away
with
it.
S
With
the
goal
of
obtaining
as
clear
of
you
as
possible
of
the
current
state
of
policing
and
the
community
perceptions
of
policing,
end
quote.
I
wholeheartedly
support
the
new
department
of
community
safety
and
the
structure
recommended
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group.
Let's
get
this
bill
passed.
Thank
you.
A
Next
up
is
david.
Oh
next
up
is
david
west.
I
was
having
some
trouble
getting
him
in,
but
I
see
he
should
be.
Connecting
now
following
davis
will
be
nicholas,
danila.
T
Thank
you.
My
name
is
david
west,
I'm
a
city
of
ithaca
resident,
I'm
here
to
voice
my
support
for
moving
forward
with
them,
reimagining
public
safety
recommendations
and
bringing
them
up
for
a
public
vote.
The
recommendations
in
the
report
are,
in
my
opinion,
relatively
weak.
They
don't
do
very
much
and,
despite
the
vociferous
and
frankly,
embarrassing
complaints
from
the
pba,
the
city
should
really
be
doing
much
more
than
the
small
steps
outlined,
but
we
have
to
start
somewhere.
T
I'm
proud
that
the
city
has
already
made
a
few
small
common
sense
changes
as
a
result
of
this
process.
We
ended
the
dangerous,
no
knock
warrant,
surveying
policy
and
rebranded
the
swat
truck.
These
were
easy
first
steps
and
we
need
to
go
much
farther
having
a
civilian
leader
over
the
police
department
testing,
a
small
number
of
unarmed
community
solutions,
workers
endure
better
doing
better
training
and
record
keeping
is
hardly
controversial
among
ithacans.
T
T
It's
possible
missteps
were
made
in
the
way
funding
was
procured,
but
we
should
be
really
careful
that
we
don't
throw
out
what's
really
a
good
practice
if
we
want
underrepresented
people
involved
in
our
planning
in
our
decision
making,
the
best
thing
we
can
do
is
find
ways
to
pay
them
for
their
time.
It's
unfair
to
expect
people
who
work
multiple
jobs
are
economically
disadvantaged
or
have
other
reasons
not
to
participate
to
do
so
without
providing
some
compensation.
T
U
There
we
go,
I'm
sorry
I
was.
I
was
still
on
mute
all
right,
so
hi,
my
name
is
nicholas.
I'm
a
business
owner
downtown
and
a
resident
of
the
city
of
ithaca
as
someone
both
personally
and
professionally
tied
to
how
safe
people
feel
walking
the
streets
of
this
city
and
as
a
man
getting
ready
to
start
a
family.
Here
I
have
deep
personal
reasons
to
be
concerned
with
the
state
of
public
safety.
I
really
believe
it
needs
to
change.
U
I've
had
houseless
individuals
seek
shelter
from
the
rain
and
wind
in
front
of
my
business,
and
if,
at
that
time
we
had
unarmed
officers
to
handle
the
situation,
I
would
have
had
someone.
I
was
comfortable
calling,
so
we
could
help
these
people
here
in
our
city.
We
there
have
been
multiple
lawsuits
and
accounts
of
our
police
force,
showing
signs
of
behavior
like
they
were
a
secretive,
fraternal
order.
We
cannot
afford
even
the
appearance
of
impropriety
in
the
people
who
should
be
sworn
to
protect
and
serve
the
public
and
the
civilian
commissioner.
U
If
it
did,
if
they
did
nothing
more
than
make
sure
our
officers
are
living
up
to
that
oath,
then
they
would
be
worth
every
effort
in
every
taxpayer
dollar.
I
want
my
business
and
future
children
to
be
safe
here,
and
I
believe,
moving
forward
with
the
reimagining
public
safety
plan
is
exactly
how
to
make
sure
that
happens.
Thank
you.
A
Up
next
is
zachary
nguyen
following
zach
is
karen
friedeborn.
V
Thank
you.
My
name
is
zachary
nguyen,
and
I
am
speaking
tonight
to
discourage
adoption
of
council
person
wins
proposed
amendment
of
city
charter
to
enable
the
common
council
to
create
a
commissioner
of
community
safety
position.
The
reimagining
public
safety
process
is
currently
the
subject
of
both
the
county
and
city
investigation,
the
latter
of
which
the
public
has
been
told
virtually
nothing.
V
The
recommendation
for
a
commissioner
of
community
safety
is
based
on
a
working
group
report
that
is
in
it
is
an
illegitimate,
biased
document
that
was
created
using
data
processed
by
matrix,
matrix,
consulting
with
thousands
of
calls
somehow
omitted
from
a
data
set
provided
to
matrix.
Consulting
with
no
explanation
having
been
offered.
Creating
a
commissioner
of
community
safety
would
be
a
major
reform
and
is
not
something
to
be
rushed
to
a
public
referendum.
V
Furthermore,
the
proposed
timetable
with
a
vote
occurring
july
6
to
send
the
referendum
to
voters
is
too
short.
I
suggest
discussion
of
the
proposal
be
delayed
until
at
least
the
conclusion
of
the
upcoming
tompkins
county
ethics
board
inquiry
into
reimagining,
public
safety
center
for
policing,
equity,
matrix
consulting
and
the
actions
of
former
mayor
merrick.
I
believe
rushing
council
person
wins
proposal
through
council
will
further
undermine
public
confidence
in
the
reimagination
process.
Council
person
win
has
expressed
a
desire
to
quote
do
something
rather
than
nothing.
V
I
suggest
that
doing
nothing
on
the
matter
right
now
would
be
the
correct
course
of
action.
Further
complicating
a
process
already
fraught
with
major
questions
as
to
its
transparency
and
legitimacy
and
in
legitimacy.
By
instigating
such
a
drastic
change
will
potentially
potentially
further
alienate
the
remaining
members
of
the
ithaca
police
department
or
doom,
the
otherwise
worthwhile
legislation
from
passing
in
november.
V
I
would
also
like
to
ask
regards
to
the
I
think,
a
green
new
deal
if
a
nuclear
reactor
would
potentially
be
a
solution
not
just
for
ithaca
but
for
surrounding
communities.
The
2
billion
figure
was
mentioned
again
this
evening
during
the
presentation.
So
thank
you
very
much.
W
X
W
W
W
I
was
shocked
when
I
heard
the
obsession
and
delay
tactics
on
display
at
the
city
administration
committee
meeting
when
there
is
a
clear,
well
thought
out
set
of
recommendations
put
forth
by
the
working
group.
The
structural
change
of
having
a
department
of
public
safety
led
by
a
civilian
commissioner
of
community
safety
are,
in
my
view,
the
recommendations
that
could
actually
result
in
a
shift
of
culture
in
the
police
department.
W
W
Y
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
adil
and
I'm
a
business
owner
downtown.
I
would
like
to
just
to
I'm
so
shocked.
You
know
all
this
time
that
you
guys
they
gave
to
talk
about
green
energy
new
deal
in
ethica.
Meanwhile,
we
just
had
a
big
incident.
You
know
we
just
had
a
big
shooting
in
texas
and
nobody
is
talking
about
it.
Y
I
would
like
to
know
what
the
steps
that
the
city
took
to
prevent
what
happened
in
texas
and
explain
it
to
us
as
ethicans
how
the
what
the
steps
the
city
took
to
prevent
it
and
to
protect
our
kids,
our
schools
and
our
teachers.
Also.
I
know
for
a
fact
that
mayor
cevante,
past
me
or
satan
did
not
like
the
police
department
and
he
invited
all
the
criminals
to
town
you
want
to
be.
You
want
to
commit
a
crime.
Come
here,
we'll
arrest,
you
and
we'll.
Let
you
go
next
day.
Y
You
want
to
use
drugs
come.
Will
he
let
you
use
that
will
help
you
with
drugs.
This
is
what
he
did
and
we
suffer
from
it.
As
africans,
I
know
that
the
and
the
police
department
are
under
stats.
The
city
should
hire
more
police
officers.
I
don't
see
you
guys
downtown.
Y
Probably
you
guys
go
home
at
six
o'clock
at
seven
or
seven,
but
I
don't.
I
don't
think
that
you
guys
have
any
idea
about
what's
going
on
downtown,
even
if
you
guys
work
or
live
downtown,
because
I
don't
see
you
guys
downtown
at
all,
so
I
I
advise
you
to
go
out
after
eight
o'clock
downtown
and
see
what's
going
on
with
your
own
eyes.
Also.
Y
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
the
most
of
ethicans,
good
ithacans
don't
come
downtown
anymore
because
of
the
shooting,
the
robberies,
the
drugs
and
everything
and
the
city
is
not
doing
anything
about
it.
I
don't
understand
why
you
guys
are
not
talking
about
this
issue.
I
don't
I
really
I'm
really
really
mad
that
you
guys
seems
like
you
don't
care
about
about
our
safety.
We
are
not
safe,
our
kids
are
not
safe.
Our
businesses
are
not
safe.
The
city
should
do
something
about
it.
It's
very
important.
Y
I
mean
you
guys
are
willing
to
spend
a
lot
of
money
in
this
green
energy
you're
willing
to
spend
a
lot
of
money
and
other
stuff.
Meanwhile,
our
roads
are
destroyed
are
not
fixed.
We
need
more
police
officers,
the
the
the
fire,
the
farmer
and
the
staff,
and
you
guys
are
willing
to
spend
millions
on
those
trucks.
How
are
you
going
to
spend
millions
on
those
trucks
and
the
fire
department
and
their
staff?
Y
First,
you
should
hire
more
fire
department
workers,
then
you're
looking
to
buy
the
trucks,
you
don't
buy
the
trucks
first,
then
you
hire
the
you
hire
the
fire
department
workers.
I
am
very,
very
upset
the
way
how
etiga
got
into
we
are
not
safe
anymore,
and
you
guys
should
do
something
about
it.
We
don't
want
another
cervantee
in
town,
cevante,
messed
up
our
city.
We
are
the
taxpayers
and
it's
your
job
to
offer
us
the
safety,
because
we
are
not
safe
and
again
you
guys
are
not.
Y
I
don't
see
you
guys
out
there
after
eight
o'clock,
I
don't
know
what
you
guys
live
in
ethical
or
not,
but
you
sure,
as
officials,
you
guys
should
be
out
there
and
see
with
your
real
with
your
own
eyes.
I
don't
need
to
tell
you
what's
going
on,
but
it's
your
job
to
go
out
and
see
what's
going
on
in
town.
Thank
you
and
I'm
sorry.
I
don't
want
to
make
anybody
upset,
but
the
way
how
the
etiquette
got
into
these
days.
It's
very
very
bad.
We
are
not
safe,
our
kids
are
not
safe.
Y
You
know
all
the
good
speaking
and
the
name
of
the
good
etiquette,
the
taxpayers.
We
need
safety
in
town.
We
are
not
safe.
You
need
to
hire
more
police
officers.
I
beg
you,
you
need
to
hire
more
good
trained
police
officers.
I
don't
care
if
people
don't
like,
don't
let
police
officers
or
they
hate
them
or
they
like
them,
but
we
don't
need
them,
those
guys
that
we
need
them
so
that
we
can
stay
safe
and
our
businesses
and
our
kids
can
be
safe.
Thank
you.
So
much.

Hi,
how
you
doing
my
name
is
jordan.
Clemens,
I'm
about
sixth
seventh
generation
of
here
in
ithaca.
I
probably
don't
need
an
introduction,
so
I'll
just
get
right
into
it.
I've
heard
a
lot
about
community
and
everyone's
perspective
is,
is
valid.
I'm
concerned
I'm
concerned
about
the
direction
of
our
community.
Z
Despite
all
the
work
that
I
personally
have
done
in
2020
on
being
charged
by
the
former
mayor
to
well,
I
actually
produced
a
comprehensive
plan
and
the
idea
of
reimagining
public
safety
before
it
was
branded
at
the
rallies.
Everybody
remembers,
you
know
from
there
on.
You
know:
I've
been
working
very
close
with
department
heads,
you
know:
economic
development,
stakeholders
of
the
city,
community
residents,
community
leaders-
you
know
you
name
it.
I've
worked
with
them,
I'm
working
with
them.
Z
We
currently
have
six
projects
capital
projects.
Right
now
in
2020
we
were
charged
to
submit
a
capital
budget
to
the
city
and
we
participated
in
the
city's
capital
project
request
and
we
were
told
that
we
would
be
supported
by
the
city,
and
we
said
we
supported
a
comprehensive
plan
in
2020
before
the
before
the
state
even
got
ahead
of
you
know.
All
the
stuff
that
had
the
civil
uprising
that
had
happened
in
2020..
Z
Because
I
see
I
see
what's
going
on
and
you
have
human
beings
who
are
both
coming
from
it
from
all
sides,
but
the
people
who
are
most
affected
by
all
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
do
not
represent
the
collaborative
effort
in
steering
the
city
in
the
best
comprehensive
way
to
address
the
root
issues,
which
is
what
my
approach
is.
I
could
do
that
because
I
am
the
ithaca
story.
I
am
of
the
people
I
am
in
my
community,
despite
overcoming
a
lot
of
the
adversities
that
we
are
trying
to
fix.
Z
That
is
why
unbroken
promise
initiative
was
able
to
produce
a
comprehensive
plan
that
even
the
state
is
supporting.
You
know
I've
just
spoken
at
the
regional
economic
development
council.
You
know
I've
met
with
anna
kellis,
you
know
I've.
You
know
economic
as
far
as
a
community
development
project
economic
development
project
with
social
equity.
You
know
comprehensive
addressing
all
of
the
root
issues
in
our
community.
Z
Z
I
am
concerned,
and
so
I
ask
you
know
the
new
administration.
Why
has
unbroken
promise
initiative
not
been
a
part
of
the
amendment?
Why
has
you
know
interim
mayor
lewis
not
reached
out?
You
know
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
I'm
concerned
I'm
gonna
be
tuning
in
because
I
just
want
to
support.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
people's
perspectives
are
at
the
table
that
give
our
administration
the
best
of
ability
to
make
the
greatest
decision
as
a
whole,
and
so
I
yield
my
time.
Z
C
Okay,
thank
you.
Julie,
response
from
council,
duckson
see
your
hand
first.
N
Thank
you
mayor
thanks.
Everyone
who
offered
comment
and
criticism
for
the
thing
we'll
discuss
later
today.
First,
I
just
want
to
give
amaya
culpa.
I
should
have
brought
this
way
sooner.
They
would
have
been
better
at
ca
or
earlier.
I
have
my
excuses.
N
F
N
Mention
that
I
personally
appreciate
that
my
colleagues
put
up
process
and
ethics
questions,
and
the
only
thing
I
believe
is
that
we
can
do
things
in
parallel,
and
I
think
robert
has
said
the
same.
So
you
know
I,
I
don't
wanna
have
great
respect
for
the
members
of
council
who
have
brought
up
those
concerns
that
I
think
they
should
be
addressed,
and
I
also
want
to
be
clear
that
both
to
the
public
and
to
my
colleagues
that
this
isn't
the
only
path
to
reimagine
public
safety
that
I'm
committed
to.
N
I'm
hoping
we
can,
as
we
discussed
form
an
ad
hoc
we're
standard
committee
for
public
safety,
began
the
search
for
a
permanent
police
chief,
which
we
are
happy
to
see,
the
that
the
civil
service
commission
put
out
their
job
description
today.
Maybe
a
resolution
to
accept,
adopt
or
endorse
the
ips
report
or
any
other
legislation
or
policy
updates
or
to
gather
data
and
and
improve
our
training.
So
there
are
multiple
ways
we
can
do
this.
N
C
J
Thanks
duck,
I
thought
that
was
a
good
op-ed
piece
in
the
voice
today.
J
J
It's
our
job,
there's
many
aspects
to
this
first
recommendation
and
we
can
accept
all
of
it
or
a
part
of
it
or
none
of
it,
and
so
it
takes
time
to
discuss
it
and
decide
where
we're
at
as
a
council
I'll
save
my
more
particular
comments
till
we
get
to
the
study,
but
we're
not
delaying
we're
doing
our
job.
C
Thank
you,
george
phoebe.
I
see
your
hand
up.
K
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
not
everyone
who
made
comments.
There
was
a
few
that
I
didn't,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
the
community
for
coming
out
and
stepping
up
and
and
and
reminding
us
of
the
work
that
we
are
here
to
do
for
for
the
community
right.
People
voted
us
in
to
do
this
work
right.
Thank
you,
duckson.
K
You
are
the
bomb
right.
Thank
you
very
much
for
pushing
us
for
making
me
think
outside
the
box
for
making
me
try
to
understand
how
important
this
reimagining
public
safety
is
right.
How
important
it
is
how
it
has
brought
so
many
attitudes
and
the
real
personalities
of
many
people
like,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
community
who
stepped
up
to
do
this
work
that
we
had
gotten
an
executive
order
from
our
governor
to
work
on
right,
and
I
think
we
keep
forgetting
that
piece
right.
K
This
was
charged
to
us
because
of
what
has
been
happening
to
black
and
brown
people
in
the
united
states
of
america
right
george
floyd
was
just
the
the
the
lit
to
the
to
the
match
right
or
whatever,
but
I
think
what
we're
forgetting
is
that
people
worked
really
hard.
Community
members
came
out
and
worked
really
hard
community
members
are
coming
on
here
and
really
expressing
their
hearts
right
and
like
this
whole
anyway.
C
I
will
just
mention
that
we
will
have
a
discussion
later
this
evening
on
the
member
filed
local
law
that
duckson
has
provided.
It
is
a
discussion
only
item
we've
held
a
number
of
committee
of
the
whole
meetings.
Does
anyone
else,
though,
have
comments
in
response
to
the
public
right
now,
patrick?
I
see
your
hand.
AA
It's
a
little
separate
actually
from
what
we
heard
today,
but
something
I
wanted
to
bring
to
just
everybody's
attention.
As
of
yesterday,
the
ordinance
that
council
passed
in
april
relating
to
days,
people
have
to
let
them
make
the
renting
decision.
O
AB
AA
Effect
yesterday,
so
I
just
wanted
everybody
to
be
aware
that
that's
now
codified
set-
and
I
do
actually
want
to
thank
both
cornell
and
the
lambros
who
very
proactively
have
been
working
with
me
to
get
that
shared
with
as
many
people
as
possible.
So
my
thanks
to
them
and
just
for
everyone's
knowledge.
It's
no
more
waiting
period,
it's
all
said
and
posted,
and
I
don't
think
it
helps
for
people
watching
on
youtube.
But
I
put
in
the
chat.
If
you
go
to
page
42
of
council's
april
agenda,
the
full
ordinance
is
listed.
C
I
will
just
add
my
thanks
as
always
to
community
members
who
come
and
share
their
concerns,
their
views,
their
questions.
We
very
much
appreciate
hearing
from
community
members,
those
who
speak
at
our
meetings
and
those
who
may
not
be
speaking
tonight
but
who
have
written
to
common
council.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
in
the
public
who
reached
out
to
us.
C
I
will
comment
later
on
some
of
what
I
see
as
some
progress
that
has
been
made
already
in
addressing
some
of
the
community's
concern
for
transparency,
for
accountability,
for
increased
training
of
officers
and
for
crisis
intervention,
but
we
will
get
to
those
topics
as
we
move
through
the
agenda
tonight.
C
So
any
other
comments
before
we
move
into
the
consent
agenda.
The
agenda
item
I
hastily
tried
to
move
to
before
public
comment
and
again
my
apologies
for.
C
C
Okay,
so
that
passes
and
zero
thanks
very
much
on
that.
C
The
drafts
action
plan
and
I
believe,
nels
or
anisa,
may
be
here
with
us
tonight.
I
think
I
saw
oh
hi
anisa.
I
thought
I
saw
you
there.
We
discussed
this
the
hot
action
plan
at
planning
and
economic
development
committee,
and
at
that
time
we
knew
there
was
the
possibility
of
some
allocations
being
altered
by
hud
and
there
were
contingency
plans
in
the
event
that
the
cdbg
allocation
was
less
than
anticipated
or
greater
than
anticipated,
and,
similarly
that
the
allocations
for
the
home
grants
would
be
less
or
greater
than
anticipated.
C
C
City
of
if
the
hud
entitlement
program,
whereas
the
city
of
ithaca
is
eligible
to
receive
an
annual
formula
allocation
of
funds
to
address
community
development
needs
through
the
us
department
of
hud
entitlement
program
from
the
community
development
block
grant
program
and
the
home
investment
partnership.
C
C
Three
hundred
sixteen
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
five
dollars
home
2022
actual
allocation
resulting
in
a
revised
total
amount
available
of
one
million.
Eighty
four
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
and
thirty
six
cents,
whereas
the
iura
recommended
action
plan
includes
contingencies,
to
accommodate,
possibility
that
actual
cut
allocations
may
differ
than
the
anticipated
allocations.
C
The
changes
that
would
be
implemented,
whereas
the
iura
used
an
open
and
competitive
project
selection
process
for
development
of
the
2022
action
plan,
in
accordance
with
the
city
of
ithaca
citizen
participation
plan
and
whereas
a
public
hearing
on
the
draft
action
plan
was
held
at
the
may
18
2022
pedc
meeting.
Now,
therefore,
it
be
resolved
that
the
common
council
hereby
adopts
the
city's
2022
hud
entitlement
annual
action
plan,
including
the
attached
summary
table.
C
M
Thanks
mayor,
I
need
to
thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
today.
I
have
a
question
about
the
attached
draft
action
plan.
One
area
in
particular
that
I
noted
sort
of
hoping
to
get
more
clarity
on
on
page
80
of
the
report.
It's
noted
that
56
of
renders
are
cost
burdened
in
the
city,
41
percent
being
severely
so
and
throughout
the
rest
of
the
report.
We
look
at
evaluation
of
our
our
indicator
targets
under
the
under
the
previous
cycle.
M
I
was
curious
if
there
was
any
expected
measure
to
mitigate
those
figures.
You
know
do
we?
What
are
we
anticipating
to
see,
as
as
as
we're
able
to
move
towards
the
recommendations
in
this
action
plan,
and
how
can
we
help
reduce
the
cost
burden
for
the
folks
living
in
the
city.
X
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Okay.
So
the
data
about
the
56
of
people
cost
burdened
is
from
hud
provided
data
that
was
provided
at
the
time
of
our
consolidated
plan
that
we
created,
and
it
should
be
noted
that
hud
data
always
lags
by
about
three
years.
So
even
then
it
was
you
know
not
the
most
current,
so
we
can
certainly
expect
that
things
have
changed,
especially
during
the
pandemic,
while
this
action
plan
does
not
necessarily,
I
wouldn't
say,
directly
addresses
that,
aside
from
the
funding
of
security
deposits,
various.
X
However,
through
a
process
that
the
mayor,
the
acting
mayor
is
very
familiar
with,
a
group
of
stakeholders
was
brought
together
in
the
city
to
develop
and
apply
for
funding
to
address
needs
of
people
who
are
a
housing
cost
burden.
So
this
is
a
comprehensive
project
known
as
the
ithaca
eviction
displacement
defense
project.
X
X
All
of
these
are
components
of
a
project
that
has
been
privately
funded.
There
are
no
tax
dollars
in
there
and
there
are
no
hud
entitlement
dollars
in
there.
However,
I
will
say
that
hud
mandated
that
we,
the
city,
undertake
an
assessment
of
fair
housing.
This
was
an
obama
era
initiative
to
understand,
for
each
entitlement
community
to
understand
its
local,
fair
housing
landscape
and
develop
its
own
milestones
and
goals.
X
The
city
of
ithaca
was
one
of
the
first
125
communities
to
do
such
a
study
before
the
subsequent
administration
paused
and
later
deactivated
that
process.
So
we
are
continuing
to
work
through
those
goals
to
those
goals.
Even
though
hud
entitlement
funding
does
not,
we
don't
get
extra
entitlement
funding
to
work
for
those
goals
or
anything.
So
it's
kind
of
a
two-part
question,
because
hud
mandated
us
to
look
at
exactly
what
you're
asking
and
we've
done
that
and
we're
working
toward
those
goals
using
other
dollars.
H
Hi
thanks,
I
appreciate,
as
always,
all
the
work
and
thought
and
care
that
goes
into
reviewing
and
selecting
all
of
the
programs
for
funding.
H
H
I
will
say
on
the
record-
and
I
hope
that
this
can
be
put
into
the
minutes,
that
I
I
continue
to
stand
in
opposition
as
utilization
of
housing,
trust
programs.
I
do
believe
and
support
increasing
homeownership
for
low
and
moderate
income
individuals.
I
think
we
can
do
that.
H
Utilizing
fee,
simple
strategies
and
perhaps
building
in
deed
limits,
where
individuals
must
own
that
home
for
seven
to
ten
years
before
is
being
put
on
the
market,
but
that
would
allow
that
property
owner
to
not
only
be
able
to
recapture
the
investment
in
their
home
to
benefit
from
any
kind
of
market
valuations.
H
H
I
look
to
my
home
state
of
hawaii,
where
the
housing
trust
program
has
been
in
place,
for
I
think,
since
we've
become
a
state
in
1940
in
1950,
I
believe,
and
I've
seen
the
challenges
and
disadvantages
to
families
and
individuals
who
have
been
in
the
housing
trust
program
and
not
able
to
capture
their
investment
in
their
property,
so
I
will
vote
for
it,
but
I
I
ask
that
my
opposition
for
that
program
be
on
the
record.
Thank
you.
C
H
M
Thank
you
anissa.
I
also
wanted
to
just
touch
on.
I
know
the
the
latter
part
of
the
action
plan
refers
to
some
of
the
other
actions
that
the
city
is
pursuing
to
address
housing,
the
planned
notes,
for
example,
the
recent
discussions
in
pedc
about
short-term
rentals,
as
well
as
the
discussion
around
accessory
dwelling
units-
and
I
was
wondering
if
and
if
this
is
sort
of
orthogonal,
I'm
happy
to
have
a
separate
conversation.
M
But
I
was
curious
how
our
relationship
with
this
particular
program,
as
well
as
our
relationship
with
other
hud
programming,
might
interact
with
the
biden
administration's
new
housing
plan,
where
they're
trying
to
incentivize
revision
of
land
use
policy
around
basically
incentivizing
it
with
higher
federal
grant,
scores
and
and
other
funding
mechanisms
which
I'll
note.
President
biden
very
thoughtfully,
announced
this
policy
on
duckson's
birthday.
M
I
assume
as
a
present
to
him,
but
if
there's
any
way
that
this
plan
might
inter
interact
with
these
like
sort
of
federal
push
for
land
use
revision,
and
if
this
is
a
conversation,
that's
better
to
have
at
another
time,
I'd
be
happy
to
do
so.
X
X
X
I
I
again
we
we
would
look
to
hud
to
understand
what
hud
requires
of
us,
but
what
I
will
say
is,
as
you
already
noted,
the
action
plan
does
discuss
other
topics
in
our
housing
landscape
that
are
not
necessarily
funded
by
our
entitlement
funds
or
things
like
that
to
inform
our
regional
office
in
buffalo
about
other
local
initiatives.
What
is
happening
in
our
community?
What
else
we
are
doing
so
as
things
develop
and
change,
we
will
continue
to
report
upon
that.
X
C
Thank
you
so
much
thanks
anisa
and
I
will
say
that
in
my
experience
as
council
liaison
and
now
a
voting
member
of
the
iura,
the
iura
committees,
the
economic
development
committee,
the
public
facilities,
housing
committee
really
looks
at.
C
A
number
of
programs
and
projects
that
are
available
anisa
mentioned
the
ithaca
guaranteed
income
program
that
which
is
not
part
of
the
iura
but
is
related
to
housing
matters
you
were
asking
about.
I
think
robert
other
programs
that
help
with
cost
burden
and
inhs
inhs's
housing.
Trust
is
one
of
those
where
individuals
do
have
equity
in
their
home
and
there's
an
assurance,
then
that
homes
are
retained
in
the
affordable
market
in
perpetuity,
which
was
not
the
case
before
the
housing
trust
model.
C
So
there
is
a
great
deal
of
service
being
provided
and
people
available
to
ask
about
those
services
and
to
help
connect
them
to
the
various
services
that
exist.
You
know
we
are
a
community
where
there
is
a
multiplicity.
There
is
an
abundance
of
support
services.
It
can
be
very
hard
to
untangle
the
web
of
all
the
good
programs
that
that
are
available,
but
these
hud
entitlement
projects
are
one
of
the
very
clear
ways.
Each
year
of
using
these
funds
to
support
our
community
movement.
K
I
had
a
comment
and
a
comment.
I
wanted
to
thank
anisa
for
sitting
down
with
me
and
really
helping
me
to
understand
the
iura
and
the
hud
funding
in
a
much
concise
way
right.
K
My
my
comment
is,
I
am
thinking
about
talking
about
this
entitlement.
K
I
mean
these
programs
about
helping
lower
income
people
to
become
homeowners
and
different
things,
and
I
don't
think
we
talk
much
about
many
of
these
programs
inha
inhs
right,
which
who
many
of
the
people
that
we
are
talking
about,
empowering
are
are
denied
because
of
credit
and
different
things.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
I'm
on
a
wrong
a
different
tune
or
whatever,
but
I
remember
trying
to
get
out
get
on
a
house
with
inhs
I've.
K
K
X
Matters,
it
definitely
matters,
and
there
has
been
discussion
about
that
and
thank
you
for
sitting
down
with
me
and
for
your
questions
and
that's
something
I'd
be
happy
to
meet
with
any
older
person
at
any
time,
especially
new
older
people
who
may
be
you
know,
a
hood
I
like
to
say
is
not
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
layers
to
it.
So
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
complexity.
There's
a
lot
to
understand.
I'm
learning
every
day
so
happy
to
always
talk
about
that.
X
X
At
that
very
carefully,
this
is
a
project
which
could
be
further
developed
and
brought
together
forward
in
the
future.
It
wasn't
funded
in
this
action
plan
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
the
main
reason
normally,
although
I
I
would
like
to
remind
everybody-
I
think
you
know
this,
but
it's
the
board
and
the
committees
that
make
the
recommendations
and
decisions,
not
staff.
X
So
as
with
any
project
that
comes
forward
through
the
action
planning
process,
it's
often
a
learning
curve
developing
that
project,
bringing
it
to
the
ira,
so
the
first
time
an
organization
does
it.
You
know,
there's
there's
a
lot
to
learn
and
now,
and
I
think
that
a
lot
a
lot
is
of
knowledge
is
built
through
that
process
for
the
applicant.
X
So
I
always
encourage
applicants,
even
if
they
haven't
been
funded
to
consider
going
through
the
process
again-
and
we
are
always
available
throughout
the
summer-
is
a
great
time
to
get
technical
assistance
to
work
further
on
those
projects.
So
there
was
a
project
that
came
forward
around
affordable
home
ownership.
There
is,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
matrix
it
kind
of
gives
you
the
the
matrix
is
really
colorful.
X
You
know
it's
blurry,
you
can't
see
it,
but
the
colorful
spreadsheet
gives
you
the
totals
of
our
requests
and
the
total
money
that
we
had
to
work
with.
As
you
heard,
we
had
even
less
than
we
thought,
but
there's
in
excess
of
a
million
dollars
extra
of
requests
that
we
have.
So
that
is
always
the
first
constraint.
X
Also
there
are
a
lot
of
regulatory
issues,
there's
a
lot
of
compliance
and
regulatory
things
to
pay
attention
to
when
devising
a
project
such
as
providing
direct
assistance
to
first-time
homebuyers.
So
it's
a
pretty
complex
thing
to
do.
A
head
has
a
lot
of
rules
about
it.
Has
rules
about
what
the
the
highest
value
of
a
home
can
be.
X
That
is
being
that
someone
is
accessing,
first-time
homebuyer
funds
for,
and
things
like
this,
so
so
I
think
those
are
things
that
if
this
project
comes
forward
again,
there
might
need
to
be
some
additional
thought
given
to
that.
There
is
also
the
the
board
and
committees
noted
that
there
is
at
least
one
other
or
there
are
other
sources
in
the
community
right
now,
nhs
being
one
which
I
understand.
X
I
I
heard
what
you
said:
alternatives
also
provides
assistance
to
first-time
homebuyers.
However,
there
is,
there
are
a
lot
of
factors
involved
in
a
and
credit
sports
do
tend
to
be
a
prohibitory
factor
for
people
who
are
looking
to
get
into
their
first
home
that
they
own.
C
C
Okay,
seeing
none
are
we
ready
to
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
the
draft
2022
pod
action
plan.
C
C
Here,
let's
hope
there
is
more
funding.
Occasionally
there
will
be
increases
occasionally
decreases
this
year.
Sadly,
there
were
decreases
on
both
cdbg
and
home
funding,
never
enough
to
fund
everything.
The
iura
and
the
city
would
like
to
but
anisa.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
from
announcing
the
applications
working
with
people
to
get
their
applications
submitted.
C
All
the
work
you
do
to
make
this
possible.
So
thank
you.
C
In
addition
to
cash
consideration
of
5.1
million
dollars
to
be
paid
to
the
city
on
the
terms
contained
within
the
option
agreement
and
whereas
section
507
of
general
municipal
law
authorizes
disposition
of
real
property
without
auction
or
sealed
bid
via
an
urban
renewal
process.
And
whereas
the
common
council
requests
the
iura
review.
The
terms
of
the
proposed
option,
agreement
and
structure
a
proposed
disposition
agreement
to
relocate
the
east
hill
fire
station.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
acting
mayor
subject
to
review
by
the
city
attorney
is
hereby
authorized
to
one
transfer.
C
B
Laura
sorry,
sorry
to
interrupt,
I
just
I
need
to
recuse
myself
here
I've
to
avoid
the
appearance
of
a
of
a
conflict.
I'd
like
to
step
out.
C
Okay,
thank
you
jeffrey
for
acknowledging
that
so
turn
off
your
camera
step
away.
C
And
I
see
that
chief
parsons
is
still
here:
nells
iura
is
here.
J
Yeah
I'd
like
to
add
something
to
the
resolved
that
the
developer
be
required
to
reopen
the
nine
spa
restaurant
and
create
and
have
an
acceptable
buy
common
council
acceptable
version
of
nine's
pizza.
C
Well,
we
might
miss
the
pizza,
but
we
do
have
some
other
good
pizza
options
in
town
and
there
will
be
no
requirements
on
use
of
the
parcel
going
forward.
Sadly,
george
plus.
AA
My
heart
is
screaming
second,
but
I
know
I
can't
no.
I
I
just
want
to
share
two
things,
one
and
thank
you
to
everybody
that
spoke
with
kyle
stanwood
counseling,
all
of
us
about
the
fire
station
moving.
I
really
appreciate
all
of
your
feedback
and
I
know
rob-
and
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
listening
to
that
feedback
about
the
fire
station
moving,
but
I
also
just
wanted
to
thank
chief
parsons
and
nelson
everybody's
worked
on
this
project.
It
ties
directly
back
into
the
green
new
deal
stuff
we
were
doing
earlier.
AA
C
Thanks,
patrick
cynthia.
H
H
The
two
things
that
I
want
to
learn
more
about
is,
first
of
all,
what
we're
doing
is
basically
enabling
an
investigation
and
negotiation
and
review
not
only
with
regards
to
this
proposal,
but
there
were
other
proposals
that
had
come
forward
in
my
understanding
in
the
rfp,
and
so
we
are
starting
a
process
where
then
we
can
evaluate
this
proposal
in
conjunction
with
previous
offers
that
have
been
made.
Is
that
correct
I'll.
C
Turn
to
nels
for
this,
so
the
rfei
is
there
were
requests
submissions
to
the
request
for
expressions
of
interest,
but
nelson
will
be
far
better
at
responding
to
that
question.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Please.
AC
Yes,
the
the
ira
views
itself
is,
is
being
charged
with
an
independent
evaluation
of
the
proposed
deal
to
make
sure
it's
in
the
best
interest
of
the
community,
and
they
do
want
to
look
at
both
proposals
that
were
responded.
That
responded
to
the
rfei
to
make
that
to
to
make
that
recommendation
to
common
council.
So
they
do
them
view
themselves
as
independent
reviewer
of
those
proposals
to
make
sure
the
city
is
getting
the
best
deal.
H
H
The
second
question
I
had
is:
can
we
receive
assurance
either
by
adding
resolved,
if
that's
necessary
or
somehow
through
the
process
that,
when
the
city-owned
property
might
be
transferred
to
a
new
owner,
that
that
property
will
stay
on
the
tax
rolls
and
not
be
tax
abated
as
a
as
a
part
of
this,
or
as
a
result
of
this
transfer.
AC
I
can
respond
to
that.
The
the
agency
did
record
that
comment
from
your
earlier
statement
and
would
like
to
consider
how
to
address
that
concern
in
their
recommendation
of
the
common
council
if
they
recommend
this
proposal
and
the
ira
has
actually
structured
a
similar
agreement
on
another
property
previously.
So
they
do
have
a
model
that
they
could
use
in
terms
of
protecting
the
taxable
status
of
the
property.
C
Thank
you
rob
gerhart.
I
see
your
hand
up.
P
Yeah
not
really
a
question
just
a
comment
to
ensure
my
colleagues
that
this
was
a
very
lengthy
discussion
at
the
iura
meeting.
Was
that
just
last
week
nells,
I
can't
remember,
I
think
it
was,
and
so
so
you
understand
that
this
this
is
being
taken
really
seriously
by
not
only
the
staff
but
the
board
as
well.
So
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everyone
understood
that.
C
Yes,
and
just
as
a
reminder,
we,
the
city,
has
been
considering
a
new
fire
station
east
hill
fire
station.
We've
had
discussions
about
this
for
eight
years,
so
this
is,
I
think,
cynthia
referred
to
this
others
have
referred
to
this
and
it's
clearly
in
the
memo.
This
is
something
that
has
been
of
concern
for
the
city
for
for
eight
years.
C
Nels
did
you
have
additional
comments
to
to
make
in
support
of
this
resolution?.
AC
Now,
really
just
want
to
note
that
this
is
the
next
step
in
a
process
that
will
be
going
on
for
a
couple
more
months
and
if
the
member
is
interested
in
following
or
the
public
the
ira
process,
the
economic
development
committee
of
the
ira
is
going
to
take
the
lead
on
this
and
they
have
scheduled
a
july
19th
meeting
to
be
kind
of
their
deep
dive
meeting
into
the
issue.
And
so,
if
you,
if
you
want
to
follow
it,
they
meet
at
3
30.
AC
On
tuesday
july
19th
is
going
to
be
an
important
meeting
and
they
hope
to
bring
back
a
recommendation,
make
their
finding
the
recommendation
by
july.
28Th
is
the
goal.
C
Thank
you
nels,
and
that
july
19th
meeting
that
I
take
it
will
be
an
in-person
meeting.
Will
it
also
be
a
recorded
meeting
in
the
event
that
people
cannot
make
it
there.
C
Other
comments,
questions
okay,
looks
like
we
are
ready
to
vote
on
this
east
hill
fire
station
relocation
resolution
all
those
in
favor.
C
Okay,
it
looks
like
that's
nine.
Someone
can.
C
We
next
have
a
resolution,
and
this
is
a
topic
that
we've
discussed
before,
but
the
resolution
is
to
accept
the
proposed
policy
regarding
encampments
on
city
property.
It
is
not
to
endorse
the
proposed
policy,
but
rather
to
accept
the
proposed
policy,
and
that
stated
may
2022.
C
C
And
now
we
can
move
into
some
discussion
and-
and
I
should
say
that
there
will
be
additional
discussion
at
future
planning
and
economic
development
committee
meetings.
We've
had
a
number
of
discussions
already
about
the
ways
to
address.
C
The
city
land
and
the
proposed
policy
regarding
encampments
that
are
on
city
property-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
reiterate
and
the
the
proposal
of
course
is
attached
a
couple
of
things.
There
is
no
interest
in
criminalizing
homelessness
for
one.
C
There
is
a
code
blue
during
the
winter
months
that
hotel
rooms
are
used
for
emergency
emergency,
shelter,
overflow,
but
there
are
still
vacancies
and
there
are
still
needs,
I
should
say-
and
few
vacancies
in
transitional
permanent
housing.
Those
are
rare.
There
is
no
currently
no
formal
encampments
in
the
city
of
ithaca.
C
C
I
won't
say
policy
because
we
don't
really
have
a
policy,
but
the
approach
that
has
been
followed
thus
far
by
the
city
is
intended
to
support
a
harm
reduction
model.
That
is
tacit
acceptance,
but
we
have
real
interest
in
moving
forward
with
our
proposal
and
and
diplomacy,
so
open
it
up
for
comments
and
questions
from
others
jorge.
I
see
your
hand
up.
AD
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
an
opportunity
for
discussion
on
this
and
would
appreciate
any
insight.
I
haven't
been
able
to
follow
this
as
well
as
I'd
like
to
it
being
in
in
the
committee
that
I'm
not
assigned
to,
and
it's
been
a
hectic
couple
of
months,
but
I
do
have
some
questions,
and
perhaps
these
are
better
suited
for
future
times
of
discussion.
If
that's
the
case,
so
be
it,
but
just
some
questions.
AD
I
would
like
to
ask
in
regards
to
the
policy
being
recommended
before
us,
I'd
like
to
sort
of
ask
a
couple
things
in
regards
to
for
these
new
sort
of
locations
that
will
be
established
or
new
areas
that
will
be
sanctioned
and
approved
by
the
city,
where
we
ideally
are
hoping
to
relocate
individuals
from
from
these
current
informal
encampments.
AD
What
type
of
restrictions
are
we
looking
at?
Are
there
going
to
be
rules
of
engagement
or
procedure?
That
of
individuals
will
be
camping
here
will
have
to
have
to
follow.
What
are
we
looking
at
in
terms
of
population
sizes?
Are
these
new
locations
going
to
be
able
to
accommodate
all
the
people
who
have?
AD
You
know
been
been
there
presently
and
in
these
current
encampments
are
we're
going
to
have
enough
room
for
them,
and
newer
sites
are
set
up
or
a
guaranteed
housing
setup
for
them
in
some
way,
shape
or
form,
and
then
the
means
of
which,
how
we,
how
we
intend
to
deal
with
folks
who
you
know,
are
more
resistant
to
to
wanting
to
be
relocated
and
what
that
looks
like.
AD
I
really
do
appreciate
the
sentiments
that
have
been
echoed
about
not
wanting
to
criminalize
houselessness,
but
I
do
worry
about
potential
externalities
and
how
we
deal
with
executing
this
and
not
harming
people
in
the
process
of
trying
to
seek
better
housing,
and
I
am
and
my
final
question.
I
know
I've
rapid
fire
them
and
I'm
willing
to
repeat
them.
AD
If
these
I'm
curious
to
see
how
what
was
the
standard
through,
which
we
deduced
that
some
of
these
were
more
sensitive
or
high
interest
areas,
rather
than
others
that
were
more
low
interest
and
and
what
sort
of
went
into
the
the
mythology
of
of
that
and
how
that
was
put
together.
Those
are
some
of
my
questions.
If
anyone
is
capable
of
answering
them.
C
C
C
We
have
no
camping
on
city
property
currently,
and
yet
that
is,
has
not
been
enforced.
That
is,
captures
the
tacit
acceptance
that
we've
seen
and
a
harm
reduction
model
if
there
are,
if
there
is
an
area
identified
for
sanctioned
encampments.
C
There
are
questions
about
how
the
city
and
the
county
partner
in
developing
such
sanctioned
encampment.
There
are
cost
implications,
there
are
land
availability
implications
and
then
some
of
the
questions
you
raise
about
you
know
would
there
be
rules?
Would
people
be
compelled
to
abide
by
rules?
C
What
would
be
the
application
process
for
people
to
we
provided
this
shelter
in
temporary
transitional
housing?
I
think
when
richard
apollo
was
here
earlier
this
evening.
He
referred
to
transitional
housing
and
that's
what
my
understanding
sanctioned
encampments
would
be,
and
then
what
the
capacity
would
be.
What
is
the
population
numbers
that
could
be
served
by
such
transactional
housing
and
what
about
individuals
who
choose
either
not
to
avail
themselves
of
such
an
option,
or
what
do
we
do
with
numbers?
Are
that
are
too
great
to
be
able
to
serve
by?
C
C
It
it's
jor
it's
nels's
proposal,
so
let
me
turn
to
nels
first
and
then
to
george
and
and
cynthia.
AC
Okay,
I'll
try
to
take
a
crack
at
responding
to
those
questions,
but
first
I
want
to
make
make
it
clear
that
the
report
is
really
first
and
foremost
asking
the
city
to
consider
what
should
be
the
correct
policy
regarding
encampments
in
city
property.
The
city
doesn't
historically
provide
housing
directly.
You
know
we
don't
play
a
role
as
a
landlord
for
residential
uses
and
we
don't
have
any
staff
or
departments
that
provide
social
services.
AC
But
in
terms
of
the
direct
response
to
the
questions
in
terms
of
the
restrictions
on
station
encampment
and
the
rules,
this
policy
does
not
recommend
at
this
point
in
time
that
that
be
a
component
of
the
project
of
the
of
the
city
policy.
That's
really
more
of
an
initiative
that
I
think
the
tides
working
group
has
brought
forward
as
an
option
to
address
the
issue
as
as
providing
an
option
that
is
not
currently
provided
in
the
response
system.
AC
Right
now
that
we
have
the
homeless
response
system,
which
relies
primarily
on
the
emergency
shelter
to
provide
night
to
night
safe,
safe
housing
for
people
on
a
nightly
basis,
but
not
everybody
is
eligible
to
be
in
the
show
and
that
that
prohibit
that
so
in
terms
of
restrictions
on
rules
and
encampment,
this
policy
is
not
recommended
at
this
point.
The
city
determine
those
issues
and
and
make
a
decision
on
that.
It's
talking
about
what
is
the
primary
role
of
the
city
as
it
relates
to
management
of
its
own
property.
AC
AC
In
terms
of
the
population
sizes
of
persons
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness,
it
does
deviate
quite
a
bit
seasonality
on
a
seasonality
basis
during
the
cold
weather
policy,
roughly
from
thanksgiving
until
april,
the
population
who
presents
to
the
emergency
shelter
increases
dramatically
by
about
from
you
know,
75
or
80,
to
150
to
180
persons
yeah
and
this
last
year
and
for
a
couple
years
in
a
row
once
the
capacity
of
the
shelter
is
exhausted,
the
20
or
so
beds
there.
AC
Those
people
are
provided
with
safe
housing
and
motels
during
the
summer
during
the
non-winter
season,
when
it's
below
freezing
at
night,
we
see
an
increase
in
encampments.
So
we
think
that
that
number
is
generally
somewhere
in
the
range
of
30
to
50.
it
does.
It
has
been
lower
at
times,
and
it's
been
near
that
50
number
at
other
times.
My
sense
is
that
the
city's
tacit
acceptance
policy
will
lead
to
an
increase
and
a
proliferation
of
encampments
as
we
go
forward.
AC
AC
If
there
are
people
who
are
if
there
is
an
encampment
and
there
are
people
who
a
sanction
encampment,
I
believe
that
you're
right
there
will
be
people
who
will
be
resistant
to
that,
and
that's
one
of
the
challenges
is
what
what
is
their
proper
policy
when
you
have
an
offering
for
an
encampment
and
not
everybody,
agrees
to
participate
in
that
and
wants
to
continue
camping.
AC
Part
of
that
is
designing
a
process
which
has
as
few
rules
as
possible
and
as
low
barrier
to
entrance
as
possible
consistent
with
safety
and
health,
and
you
know,
and
not
not
adversely,
impacting
your
neighbors
in
the
encampment
and
then.
Finally,
I
think
the
question
is
what
was
it
was.
What
is
the
standard
for?
C
It
was
low
barrier
or
low
sensitivity
and
higher
sensitivity.
Oh.
AC
Right,
okay,
so
the
policy
essentially
suggests
that
one
approach
to
this
is
to
codify
the
policy.
That
camping
is
not
permitted
on
city
property,
but
recognize
on
a
temporary
basis
that
we
don't
have
solutions
for
everybody,
and
so
it
essentially
recommends
that
there
be
a
kind
of
a
priority
of
enforcement
that
the
resources
involved
with
enforcing
that
policy,
which
eventually
means
clearance
of
some
camps,
is
applied
first
and
foremost,
and
to
those
areas
that
are
most
sensitive
to
impacting
ed.
AC
You
know:
resources
of
the
city,
natural
resources,
residential
neighborhoods
and
other
areas
where
the
impact
is
going
to
be
more
significant.
AC
That's
the
suggestion
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
say
that's
where
enforcement
resources
should
be
prioritized
in
that
other
areas
of
the
city
which
can
be
defined
by
the
common
council
would
be
areas
where
the
where
kind
of
the
harm
reduction
model
would
would
take
precedence
over
enforcement
of
the
prohibition,
and
it
would
be
on
a
temporary
basis
until
there's
more
choices
available
for
people
in
an
area
where
enforcement
wouldn't
be
priority
and
prioritized
unless
there
was
a
major
issue
that
came
up
in
terms
of
you
know,
harming
adjacent
property
owners
or
or
negative
impacts
on
natural
resources
or
other
issues
that
come
up.
AC
AC
But
again
that
would
be
the
council
could
make
their
own
decisions
on
how
you
define
what
is
an
appropriate
place
to
prioritize
uses
of
resources
by
the
city
in
terms
of
enforcing
that
and
again
it's
it's
that
walking.
That
line
between
criminalizing
homelessness
and
managing
the
adverse
impacts
that
that
unregulated
encampments
can
have
on
the
community
and
the
environment.
C
Thank
you,
george,
did
you
have
a
common
question
and
then
I'll
turn
to
phoebe.
J
Yeah
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
report
that
nells
wrote
up
is
really
a
remarkable
piece
of
work.
Nels
really
lays
out
all
the
problems
in
understandable
terms,
and
the
big
issue
is
affordability
of
housing
and
access
to
to
housing
for
people
who
are
now
homeless
and
the
the
enforcement
or
prioritizing
which
camps
will
be
allowed
and
which
won't.
J
J
All
the
time
the
businesses
in
that
area,
both
large
businesses
and
small
businesses,
are
broken
into
almost
on
a
nightly
basis,
which
is
not
to
say
that
everybody
who's
living
nearby
in
a
tent
is
is
doing.
These
are
doing
these
things,
but
this
part
of
the
city
could
use
some
relief.
J
J
A
modicum
of
that
deserves
enforcing
safety
and.
J
That's
it.
I
mean
this
is
a
serious
problem
and
we
don't
want
to
criminalize
people
who
are
living
outdoors,
but
I
think
we
need
to
move
them
away
from
nate's
floral
estates,
and
there
are
other
places
that
that
have
a
less
of
an
impact
and
the
other
thing
I
would
suggest
that
we
do
as
a
council
is
encourage
cleaner
camping.
J
The
environmental
condition
of
that
area
now
is
a
disaster,
and
I
think
even
the
residents
of
nate's
would
would
not
be
as
upset
if,
if
the
encampments
were
cleaner
and
dpw
is
working
on
this
right
now
in
in
hopes
of
putting
dumpsters
that
can
be
locked
so
that
they're
not
full
of
hypodermic
needles,
so
an
education
process,
maybe
the
advocates
can
help
us
with
this
to
to
just
clean
things
up
and
and
live
more
safely
within
the
encampments.
C
Thanks
thanks
george
phoebe.
K
K
I
mean
these
lands
where,
where
people
have
been
camping
without
where
they
shouldn't
be
right,
and
so,
if
even
if
we,
so
what
I'm
thinking
here
is,
would
that
city
code
need
to
be
changed
if
we
begin
to
say
say,
for
instance,
we
say:
okay,
this
this,
this
city,
land
right
here-
is
a
place
where
we
can
develop
for
homeless.
People
would
would
that
code
need
to
change
the
city
code.
C
That's
a
great
question:
it's
one
of
the
questions
that
has
been
discussed.
Nels.
I
see
that
ari
is
here.
Cynthia
you've
been
involved
in
these
discussions.
AC
That
may
be
a
legal
issue.
It
certainly
is
a
legal
issue
at
some
level,
but
the
current
city
code,
when
I
search
through
the
code
for
encampments,
the
only
place
I
see
the
word
used
is
it
is
that
it's
expressly.
AC
In
designated
natural
areas,
now
the
entire
city
has
a
zoning
ordinance
and
nowhere
in
the
zoning
do
we
list
camping
as
a
permitted
use.
So
you
could,
you
could
draw
from
that
that
they
are,
it
is
prohibited
everywhere,
but
again
people
are
not
pulling
permits
to
set
up
their
encampments.
So
you
know
you
have
that
whole
issue
of
whether
they
are
you
know,
legally
permitted
or
or
or
just
occurring,
but
they
you
know,
the
city
on
its
own
land.
Zoning
is
you
know
is.
AC
Is
is
not
something
that
the
city
has
to
abide
by
for
municipal
uses
and
if
the
city
determined
it
was
a
municipal
use
to
make
some
of
a
camping,
unauthorized
use
on
city
land.
I
think
there
could
be
an
argument
made
that
it
it
could
be
permitted
without
changing
the
city
code.
H
Thank
you
appreciate
these
questions
jorge
and
and
phoebe
have
taken
notes
so
that
we
can
address
them
also
in
in
future
conversations
you
know,
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
consider
that
that
this
report
that
nells
created
was
really
a
summary
of
of
where
we
are
how
we
got
to
this
place.
What
our
challenges
are
moving
forward.
The
tides
proposal
is
is
independent
of
of
this.
H
H
When,
when
we
talk
about
providing
alternatives
for
people
to
be,
I
do
hope
that
there
would
be
a
fair
number
of
individuals
who
would
see
the
benefits
of
the
safety
and
security
of
the
resources
in
terms
of
showers
and
bathrooms,
and
and
management
wrap-around
services
access
to
support
services.
That
tides
would
provide
and
would
voluntarily
go
there
for
individuals
who
would
not
be
interested.
H
I
hope
that
there
would
be
a
continuous
engagement
with
outreach
personnel
to
try
to
assist
them
to
get
them
into
more
appropriate
housing,
but
where
those
individuals
end
up
being,
I
think,
becomes
the
question
that
we
would
need
to
address
in
a
city
policy,
but
definitely
we
want
to
be
compassionate.
We
also
want
to
I
I
have
to
admit
and
recognize
that
I
do
sometimes
question
that
everybody
who
is
residing
in
this
way
is
actually
technically
unhoused.
H
You
can
go
down
there
and
see
brand
new
tents
and
very
expensive
barbecue
grills
and
canoes
set
up
on
the
inlet
on
city,
property
and
you're
going.
It
just
seems
like
a
fun
place
to
camp
during
the
summer,
where
you're
right
downtown
in
ithaca
I've,
I've
heard
of
similar
campsites
in
six
mile
creek,
for
example,
in
the
reservoir,
where
people
are
camping
there
during
the
summer.
So
you
know
not
everyone
who
camps
is
homeless.
H
Technically,
not
everyone
who
is
engaging
in
these
behaviors
that
george
is
mentioning
is
also
associated
with
with
homelessness.
So
I
do
want
to
caution
those
assumptions
there,
but
I
appreciate
this
coming
forward.
I
think
there's
a
lot
to
consider
as
we
work
to
address
homelessness
in
the
community
and
making
forward
that
whatever
we
do
making
sure
that
whatever
we
do,
we
do
it
with
compassion
and
we
do
it
with
dignity
and
care
and
support
for
for
all
of
our
residents.
K
I
I'm
sorry.
Yes,
I
still
had
another.
The
other
question
was:
is
it
any
way
that
we
can
get
a
sort
of
a
map
or
a
picture
of
where
these
different
city-owned
property
is
and
the
places
in
which
people
are
beginning
to
camp
or
or
or
you
know?
How
do
we
know
where
they
are?
K
C
Because
yeah
question-
and
there
is
the
easier
question
to
answer
of
course-
is
that
there
is
a
map
that
identifies
city,
land,
yeah,
okay,
harder
question
that
I
think
may
be
at
the
heart
of
your
question
is:
where
are
encampments
popping
up
and
some
of
them
have
moved
george.
You
have
a
comment
on
that.
K
Sure
I
would
love
that.
That's
what
I
was
thinking.
I
was
thinking
as
us
all
going
as
a
common
council.
You
know
team
right
to
see,
but
I
would
love
that
I
I
I
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I'd
love
that,
let's
set
up
some
time.
J
J
C
Great
yeah
duckson
and
I
and
a
former
council
colleague
did
something
similar
a
few
years
ago
right
right
before
kovid.
K
My
last
comment
and
I'm
gonna-
stop
because
I'm
I'm
real
concerned
about
the
piece
that
you
talked
about
is
the
hygiene
piece
and
the
you
know
getting
so,
like
you
said,
nates
would
probably
they
wouldn't
be
so
upset
if
it
was
if
people
was
more,
took
care
of
of
their
place
right
and
so
yeah
that
that's
another
piece.
I'd
like
to
talk
more
about
when
we
get
together,
george.
C
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
and
you
know
I
think.
In
every
conversation
we
have
about
homelessness,
unhoused
and
certainly
about
unsanctioned
encampments,
there's
a
recognition
that
this
is
a
really
complex
challenge.
It's
a
community-wide
challenge.
It's
something
that
does
not
have
easy
solutions
does
not
have
single
solutions.
There's
a
need
for
multiple
approaches
on
this,
so
this
discussion
will
continue,
but
in
tonight's
agenda
I
would
like
to
call
for
a
vote
on
the
resolution
that
is
before
us,
and
that
is
proposed
policy
regarding
encampment
on
city
property.
C
Thank
you,
and-
and
we
have
talked
about
this
a
number
of
times-
and
we
will
continue
to
talk
about
this
this
issue,
but
thank
you
all
for
for
your
questions,
and
now
I
will
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague.
M
Thanks
laura,
I
will
first
motion
to
extend
our
time
for
an
hour,
because
we've
got
13
items
on
the
city
administration
agenda
and
we
had
three
voting
items
on
the
last
one.
So
I
think
we're
gonna
need
that
time.
AA
C
Yeah
we
can
talk
about
that
for
future
meetings.
Essentially,
it's
items
that
there
is
no
anticipated
discussion
needed
our
items,
move
to
consent.
AA
AA
Our
extension
to
11.
all.
C
H
M
All
right
with
that
being
said,
we'll
turn
to
5.1
approval
of
lexapol
policy
services
contract,
whereas
the
ithaca
police
department
has
set
department
goals
of
updating
the
current
general
orders,
policies,
procedures
and
obtaining
new
york
state
accreditation
and
whereas
meeting
these
established
goals
will
better
align
the
department
with
the
six
pillars
of
law
enforcement,
as
identified
in
the
final
report
of
the
president's
task
force
on
the
21st
century,
policing,
specifically
in
building
trust
and
legitimacy
and
policy
and
oversight.
M
Ongoing
policy
updates
a
web-based
delivery
platform
and
mobile
app
reports,
supplemental
publication
services
and
whereas
the
total
cost
of
these
services
in
year,
one
is
thirty.
Seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
eleven
dollars,
including
a
one-time
twenty
thousand
two
hundred
and
seven
dollar
implementation
cost
with
an
annual
renewal
subscription
of
seventeen
thousand
two
hundred
and
four
dollars
for
subsequent
years,
and
I
will
jump
to
the
results
here,
resolved
that
funds
needed
for
said
lexical
contract
in
the
amount
not
to
exceed
forty.
M
And
I
will
just
also
note
chief
gave
a
very
useful
overview
of
these
services
at
city
administration,
so
chief,
perhaps
might
want
to
just
give
us
a
quick
summary
of
those
remarks.
AE
AE
Historically,
looking
at
the
police
department,
we
have
made
several
attempts
to
try
to
update
our
policies
over
the
last
15
years
or
so
and
there's
been
kind
of
a
push,
and
then
we
generally
have
tasked
this
to
someone
that
has
other
duties
as
well,
and
so,
although
we've
made
some
progress,
it's
slowed
over
time
and
we
haven't
gotten
where
we
need
to
be
and
recognizing
that
we
have
made
the
best
progress
in
the
past,
we
had
a
designated
supervisor
assigned
to
manage
this.
AE
That's
the
direction
that
I've
tried
to
push
us
in
at
this
point,
so
we've
restructured
some
of
the
supervisory
duties.
I
have
a
supervisor
now
sergeant
position
that
is
specifically
assigned
to
manage
the
policies
and
also
accreditation,
which
will
be
the
very
next
step
once
we
get
the
policies
in
order
we've
made
attempts
in
the
past,
like
I
had
mentioned,
and
back
in
2018,
we
approached
lexapol
and
got
a
quote
from
them
as
well
as
one
of
their
another
company.
AE
We
went
with
daigle,
we
did
make
progress,
we
implemented
many
of
the
policies.
However,
we
have
many
more
policies
that
we
need
to
get
implemented
in
order
for
us
to
be
in
alignment
with
new
york,
state
accreditation
and
also
for
best
practices,
and
that's
where
lex
bull
comes
in
lexical
currently
has
they
represent,
or
they
work
with
8
100
agencies
across
the
country
they're,
the
largest
company
that
provides
the
service.
AE
They
have
170
policies
that
are
specifically
designed
for
new
york
state
and,
as
part
of
this
implementation,
this
20
000
implementation
plan.
What
they
will
do
is
they
will
assign
us
specific
employees
from
lexical
that
will
meet
with
us
twice
per
week
and
help
us
expedite
rolling
out
and
implementing
these
new
policies
throughout
the
department
and,
along
with
the
services
that
they
provide
anytime,
there's
a
legislative
change.
AE
They
will
update
a
policy
that
is
directly
affected
by
that
it
will
automatically
push
that
out
through
the
program
that
we
would
utilize
to
access
all
this
information
and
then
each
time,
an
officer
logs
in
they
would
see
that
this
policy
changed
why
the
policy
changed.
They
would
read
through
and
acknowledge,
they've
seen
and
read
and
understand
the
change.
AE
AE
Additionally,
in
this
contract,
they
would
provide
us
support
for
grant
fund.
Grant
writing.
So
if
there
are
specific
items
that
we
would
like
to
have
replaced
or
purchased,
they
will
search
out
related
grants
that
may
apply
and
they
will
direct
us
towards
those
grants
and
for
an
additional
fee.
They
will
actually
file
and
manage
the
grant
for
us,
but
included
in
this
this
current
contract.
They
will
help
us
find
grants
for
that
are
applicable
and
they
will
review
our
grant
applications
for
us
all
included
in
this.
AE
Additionally,
what
they
this
will
all
link
into
an
app
and
that
app
will
allow
us
to
to
monitor
and
see
where
everybody
is
assigned
different
questions.
Also,
we
can
push
out
through
this.
AE
The
training
which
is
an
additional
part
of
this
police
one
academy,
and
that
that
policeman
academy
has
an
enormous
number
of
training
videos
in
there
there's
over
1200
videos
that
are
10
minutes,
long
or
less,
which
are
designed
for
briefing
trainings
or
short
assigned
trainings,
where
the
officers
can
log
in
while
they're
on
duty
review
the
tr
review
the
video
and
then
you
know,
answer
some
questions
and
once
they
complete
it,
it
will
all
track
through
the
training,
module
and
we'll
be
able
to
see
all
the
training
that
has
been
completed
successfully
by
all
the
officers.
AE
We
can
also
assign
specific
tasks,
specific
trainings
with
deadlines,
and
it
all
comes
through,
like
you
know,
one
specific
easy
to
follow
place
that
will
help
us
really
move
forward
with
our
goal
for
increased
transparency
and
accountability
and-
and
I
think,
like
I
had
mentioned
in
the
ca
meeting,
the
last
couple
years
have
been
very
challenging
for
the
community
and
the
police
challenging
on
the
relationship
between
the
two,
the
two
of
us-
and
you
know,
it's
really
crucially
important,
I
believe,
to
have
sound
policies
in
place
to
not
only
limit
liability
but
also
ensure
that
the
officers
have
a
very
strong
understanding
of
what
the
guidelines
are,
what
the
expectations
of
the
department
are
and
that
we
provide
them
with
easy
access
and
ensure
that
they
have
the
training
to
have
the
confidence
to
go
out
and
interact
with
the
public
and
maintain
safety
for
both
the
public
and
and
the
officers.
AE
And
I
think
this
is
you
know
it
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
I
think
for
what
we'll
be
gaining
from
it.
It's
very
efficient,
also
the
17
000
annual
the
annual
subscription
fee
that
there's
no
contract
deadline.
So
we'll
review
that
annually
and
if
we
internally
decide
that
we
don't
need
to
continue,
we
don't
feel
we're
getting
the
value
out
of
it
that
we
can
stop
at
any
time.
M
Thanks
chief
I'd,
also
just
note,
we
received
an
email,
I
think
all
colleagues
did
in
an
in
advance
of
the
ca
meeting
from
chief
parsons,
who
I
believe
is
no
longer
with
us,
but
ifd
also
utilizes,
lex
bull
and
and
they
very
much
appreciate
those
services.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
for
the
chief
since
he's
not
here.
AE
Thank
you
robert.
I
forgot
to
mention
that
that's
actually,
chief
parsons
was
the
one
that
directed
me
and
suggested
that
I
you
know,
have
it
do
a
demo
or
bring
some
people
along
and
listen
to
a
lexical
demo,
because
they
were
very
satisfied
with
service.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
good
point,
george
and
then
cynthia.
J
Thanks
laura,
I
I
support
this.
I
I
just
want
to
direct
our
attention
to
the
second
to
last,
whereas,
where
it
talks
about
developing
individual
officers,
knowledge
base
and
skill
sets
in
a
broad,
broad
range
of
topics,
including
addressing
homeless
populations,
de-escalation,
health
and
wellness,
community,
policing,
police
leadership
duty
to
intervene
and
ethics.
J
These
are
all
things
that
people
are
talking
about
in
the
reimagining
process
and
I
think
live.
Live
training
is
always
the
best,
but
these
are
things
that
we
need
to
encourage.
So
I
support
it.
H
Thank
you.
I
also
support
this.
As
the
chief
mentioned,
this
actually
has
been
a
priority
of
counsel
for
many
years.
I
I
want
to
say
and
I'll
look
to
my
colleagues
here
that,
as
far
back,
I
want
to
say
is:
like
26
council
actually
funded
the
deputy
chief
of
professional
standards
for
the
purpose
of
having
an
individual
focus
on
achieving
accreditation
and
that
first
step
towards
accreditation
is
a
full
and
complete
set
of
policies
and
procedures
as
well
as
adequate
training.
H
So
I
I
do
recognize
that
over
the
years
with
staffing
shortages,
those
individuals
were
not
able
to
focus
on
that
objective.
We
we
haven't,
made
the
progress
that
we
intended
to
make
and
by
utilizing
this
this
contract.
I
think
it's
a
significant
step
to
getting
there.
H
The
individual
walks
away
with
with
no
response
and
feeling
like
the
system
is
not
there
to
protect
them,
but
rather
to
protect
police
officers,
but
there's
a
high
level
of
dissatisfaction.
Nobody
looks
good.
We
all
come
away,
seeking
more
clarity,
more
transparency
and
more
accountability.
H
C
Thanks
cynthia
ducks
and
then
phoebe.
N
Actually
forget
if
you've
mentioned
this
before,
but
you
talk
about
how
there's
a
sergeant
assigned
to
this
right
now
and
I'm
curious
if
you
have
some
sense
of
how
many
hours
this
might
free
up
for
them
to
do.
You
know
tackle
these
things.
AE
AE
So
they
will
coordinate
closely
with
the
operations
sergeant
the
training
coordinator,
to
ensure
that
when
we
roll
policies
out,
we
also
roll
out
the
applicable
training
and
that
we're
doing
you
know
a
full
circle,
complete
and
sound
roll
out,
and
that
there's
you
know,
reality-based
training
scenarios
later
on,
that
all
will
reinforce
this,
but
this
will
be
a
dedicated
person
to
ensure
that
these
policies
are
in
place
and
then
once
they're
in
place
that
they're
reviewed
and
they're
updated
and
that
people
are,
you
know
following
policies
as
well.
AE
So,
I'm
sorry,
maybe
I'm
misunderstood,
but
having
this
implementation
service
will
expedite
the
rollout.
So
what
they
told
us
is
by
this
additional
service,
the
implementation
within
six
to
nine
months,
with
their
assistance
and
someone
dedicated
from
ipd.
We
should
have
fully
implemented
and
rolled
out
all
the
policies
thanks
we're
paying
to
help
expedite
with
some
assistance
from
them.
C
Thanks
phoebe.
K
K
K
AE
Yeah,
I
might
be
able
to
clarify
a
little
bit
phoebe
for
you.
What
we'll
be
paying
for
is
for
this
company
to
provide
us
with
the
policies
and
then
they'll
also
provide
us
with
updates
legal
updates
to
any
of
the
policies.
They'll
monitor
the
changes
in
any
legislative
body,
whether
it's
new
york,
state
or
federal.
That
impacts
any
of
these
policies
and
they'll
immediately
change
the
policy
and
push
out
the
notifications.
AE
It
comes
through
an
app
so
the
officers
if
they're
on
a
call
somewhere
and
they
run
into
say
a
person
with
dementia,
for
example,
they
can
search
dementia
in
their
phone
at
the
scene
and
it
will
it
will
direct
them
to
any
policy
or
procedure.
We
have
related
to
dementia,
so
if
there,
you
know,
needs
a
refresher
on
how
to
move
forward
or
where
they
go
or
what
they
call
or
what
services
are
available
in
the
community
for
dementia
people
or
patients,
then
they
would
just
give
them
a
reference
point.
AE
They
could
easily
access
that
and
so
we're
paying
this
company
to
provide
us
with
legally
sound
policies
for
us
to
roll
out
for
the
department
to
ensure
that
we
are
transparent
and
that
we're
following
the
guidelines
and
all
these
policies,
as
we
roll
them
out,
also
be
rolled
out
on
our
website.
So
they'll
be
free
for
the
public
to
access
without
foil
they'll
be
available.
You
know
immediately
once
they're
rolled
out,
but
we
will
be
doing
the
training
internally,
the
the
part
of
the
training.
AE
I
think
that
you're,
maybe
referencing,
is
the
online
training,
this
police
one
academy,
and
that
is
then
put
together
by
experts
from
across
the
country
and
bill
and
we'll
still
be
assigning
that
internally.
This
will
be
monitoring
it,
but
they're
they're
creating
the
content
which
we
would
just
never
be
able
to
to
handle
on
our
own.
H
I
did
have
a
follow-up
question.
You
mentioned
that
this
will
expedite
the
rollout.
What
timeline
do
you
see
that
we
would
anticipate
in
terms
of
achieving
accreditation
for
our
police
department.
AE
That's
a
good
question,
so
I
think
the
first
step
is
getting
the
policies
rolled
out,
so
I
you
know,
I
would
like
to
say
that
we'll
have
them
in
that
six
to
nine
month
window
will
have
all
the
policies
you
know
up
to
date
and
rolled
out.
That's
the
goal
and
then,
as
soon
as
we
do,
that
lexico
will
also
assist
us
in
the
accreditation
process
and
as
well
we've.
AE
I
recently
submitted
a
request
for
accreditation,
which
I
believe
the
mayor
has
signed
so
I'll,
be
submitting
that
and
once
that
gets
turned
over
to
the
state.
The
state
will
also
assign
us
kind
of
like
a
coach
or
a
manager
from
the
state,
and
so
together
with
the
assistance
from
the
state
accreditation,
assistance
from
lexical
and
an
assigned
person,
I
think
we
would
be
on
a
really
good
track
to
get
that
accreditation.
I
know
that
currently
there
are
some
barriers
to
getting
that
accreditation
that
have
to
do
with.
AE
You
know
like
our
building
and
certain
facility
type
issues
that
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
have
to.
You
know,
work
through,
but
there's
120
different
things
we
need
to
meet.
There
are
some
things
that
we
can
get
waivers
for
if
we're
unable
to
fix
them
immediately.
So
I'm.
F
AE
Hundred
percent
up
to
speed
on
how
quickly
that
process
will
happen
or
which
specific
items
we're
gonna
have
the
hardest
time
with.
I
haven't
seen
the
list
recently,
but
I'm
committed
that
this
is
a
priority
and
we've
assigned
a
sergeant
to
do
this,
and
this
is
this
will
be
done
as
quickly
as
we
can
do
it
as
long
as
we're
doing
it
correctly.
C
I
would
just
like
to
add
robert
mentioned
that
ifd
uses
lexapol,
which
is
beneficial,
that
both
ipd
and
ifd
would
be
using
the
same
system.
I'll
also
add
that
this
addresses
one
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
recommendations
that
calls
for
increased
training,
updated
policies,
transparency
of
of
policies
and,
as
you
said,
these
policies
would
be
on
the
website,
so
they
would
be
available
to
the
public
as
well,
and
I
think
that
does
speak
to
some
of
the
recommendations
that
were
made
by
the
remedying
public
safety
working
group.
C
K
Oh
yeah.
AE
M
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the

5.3
adopt
report
and
recommendations
of
the
redistricting
working
group,
whereas
every
10
years
following
the
decennial
federal
census,
the
city
of
ithaca
reapportions,
its
common
council
by
adopting
new
ward
boundaries
to
be
set
forth
in
section
three
of
the
city
charter
and
whereas
the
city
formed
a
redistricting
working
group
composed
of
one
member
from
each
of
the
city's
five
ward
to
develop
new
boundaries
to
be
proposed
to
common
counselor
for
adoption.
M
M
And
whereas
the
redistricting
working
group
submitted
its
written
report
and
unanimous
recommendation
for
new
ward
boundaries
to
the
acting
mayor
and
common
council
on
april
19th
of
this
year
and
delivered
a
presentation
of
the
same.
At
a
meeting
of
the
common
council
held
on
february
4th
of
this
year.
Now,
therefore
be
it
resolved.
The
common
council
adopts
the
report
and
recommendation
of
the
redistricting
working
group
in
full
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
common
council
intends
to
implement
the
report
and
recommendation
of
the
redistricting
working
group.
C
AA
Just
wish
to
express
my
thanks
and
gratitude
to
hank
delay
and
the
committee
for
all
the
work
that
they
did.
I
just
I
just
have
to
say
that
hank
did
a
phenomenal
job
of
engaging
student
voters.
They
had
a
specific
town
hall
meeting
just
to
engage
with
student
voters,
which
I
you
know
all.
Voters
within
the
city
have
an
equal
say
in
what
we
do
and
I'm
really
appreciative
of
him
intentionally
reaching
out
to
try
to
figure
out
how
we
can
hear
from
the
situation
that
sometimes
little
quiet.
C
Yeah,
I
heartily
agree
with
that
comment.
I
think
the
redistricting
committee
did
a
great
job
of
engaging
as
many
people
in
the
city
as
possible,
so
kudos
to
that
committee.
H
H
The
first
question
is,
since
we
are
sticking
with
five
wards,
we
do
not
need
to
send
this
to
referendum.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
that
is
correct.
Okay.
The
second
question
is:
could
someone
clarify
please
if
the
county
legislative
districts
as
it
pertains
to
the
city
boundaries?
C
It's
my
understanding
that
there
will
be
16
county
districts
moving
up
from
14,
which
has
been
the
case.
Currently
I
don't
have
their
map
right
at
hand,
but
the
goal
was
for
there
to
be
better
alignment.
F
AA
H
Yeah,
I
I
do
recall
that
some
of
the
boundaries
or
some
of
the
districts
that
cover
the
city
would
expand
into
the
town.
But
I
I'm
more
concerned
with
the
boundaries
within
the
city
if
they
are
overlaid
with
the
the
county
boundaries
and
if
anybody
knows
that.
H
No
never
mind.
My
question
is
that
the
district,
the
county
districts
and
the
ward
boundaries
would
they
be
the
same
within
the
city?
But
I'm
I'm
hearing
that
we
don't.
Okay,.
N
N
You
know
the
county
district
goes
to
fulton,
so
the
between
the
two
issues.
So
there
is
at
least
that
bit
of
a
difference
and
there
may
be
more
okay.
C
J
I
I
didn't
say
anything
during
the
process,
so
I
I've
got
no
right
to
complain,
but
it's
unfortunate
that
the
large
increase
in
population
but
like
on
on
cascadilla
creek
south
of
the
golf
course
isn't
realized
yet
because,
if
it
was,
I
would
suggest
that
that
be
part
of
the
first
ward
and
and
that
the
north
side
not
get
carved
up
as
badly
as
it
is.
In
this.
This
plan.
C
There
was
a
very
deliberative
process
and
the
working
group
can
only
count
no.
C
Is
addressed
every
10
years.
J
C
Years
time
there
will
be
significant
changes
in
population
in
different
parts
of
the
city,
so
but
yeah.
H
Yeah
to
that
cynthia.
To
that
note,
the
last
time
we
did
redistricting
the
whole
area
that
was
college
town
terrace
had
been
torn
down
during
the
census,
so
there
were
no
homes
there
and,
of
course,
as
soon
as
the
new
maps
went
online
college
town
terrace
went
online.
So
ward
one
ended
up
with
a
thousand
more
people
than
was
there
previously.
So.
C
H
C
Can't
count
projected
population
only
current
population
right,
that's
a
challenge.
Every
time
there
is
a
study,
redistricting.
Okay,
any
other
questions
right
now,
all
right.
O
Thank
you
laura.
I'm
just
wanted
to
add
a
brief
comment
that
assuming
council
does
support
this
vote
this
evening.
O
I
want
to
add
a
shout
out
to
in
particular
in
particular
the
city's
gis
team
for
beginning
work,
not
only
for
all
of
their
work
so
far,
which
has
been
fantastic
on
this,
but
also
for
beginning
work
on
converting
these
maps
into
the
meets
and
bounds
necessary
to
a
local
wall,
which
we
would
aim
to
bring
to
the
city
of
the
city
administration
committee
and
then
the
common
council
in
the
coming,
hopefully
two
months
to
certainly
not
more
than
three
months
is
my
goal
anyway,
to
have
an
implementing
local
one.
C
C
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
shout
out
to
gis.
Hank
delay
was
very
clear
in
expressing
his
gratitude
for
the
gis
team
as
well.
Yeah
thanks.
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
of
5.3.
M
M
And
what
follows
is
a
local
law
with
section
one,
as
you
see
the
legislative
finding
intents
and
purposes
which
I
will
not
read
section
two
video
conferencing
and
remote
attendance
for
local
public
bodies.
M
Each
and
every
public
body
is
authorized,
but
not
required
to
use
video
conferencing
to
conduct
its
business
as
permitted
by
sections
103
and
103a
of
the
public
officers
law
and
pursuant
to
the
requirements
of
this
local
law
b.
The
following
requirements
and
procedures
shall
apply
whenever
video
conference
is
employed
by
a
public
body,
and
there
is
a
lot
of
arcane
detail
here
that
our
our
city
attorney's
office
has
helpfully
distilled
down
for
us
in
various
emails.
So
I
will
also
not
read
these
13
points
c.
Notwithstanding
the
foregoing.
M
If
the
public
body
determines
that
the
circumstances
necessitating
the
emergency
declaration
would
affect
or
impair
the
ability
of
the
public
body
to
hold
an
in-person
meeting
in
the
event
of
such
a
determination,
no
physical
location
need
be
noticed
or
made
available
to
the
public
for
in-person
attendance
and
all
members,
and
non-members
may
participate
remotely
section.
3
and
details
severability
and
section
4,
the
local
law
shall
be
affected
immediately
after
filing
in
the
office
of
the
secretary
of
state,
and
I
will
move
this
law
as
written.
M
And
I
would
just
for
everyone's
edification
share
something
we
discussed
in
ca
this
month,
which
is
given
the
I
believe
it's
june.
9Th
re
when,
when
we
have
to
have
this
in
place
by
my
understanding,
is
that
the
prudent
thing
for
us
to
do
would
be
if
there
are
any
changes
to
the
proposed
local
law
for
us
to
still
approve.
M
This,
then
make
any
subsequent
changes
that
may
arise
from
discussion,
deliberation
or
necessity
just
so
that
we
can
begin
some
sort
of
framework
for
being
able
to
hold
these
remotely.
But
are
you
probably
can
put
that
better
than
I.
O
Yeah,
no,
that's
exactly
right,
I
think
you're
robert,
because
this
local
law
has
already
been
laid
on
the
table.
If
council
wants
to
make
any
amendments,
that
can
certainly
happen,
we
would
just
recommend
that
you
pass
this
version
and
also
work
to
amend
another
version.
That
would
then
need
to
be
laid
on
the
table
and
passed
at
a
subsequent
council
meeting.
O
O
It
does
have
some
limitations
as
opposed
to
the
local
law
and
therefore
we
do
still
need
the
local
law,
but
the
resolution
can
fill
any
gap
between
when
this
local
law
takes
a
fact
effect
and
excuse
me,
between
I'm
june
9th
when
the
status
flow
expires
and
when
this
local
law
takes
effect,
which
will
be
a
tight
timeline
to
get
this
in
effect
by
june
9..
So
the
resolution
can
fill
what
might
be
a
week's
gap
instead
of
something
like
that.
C
O
C
H
I
believe
I've
read
either
through
email
commentary
or
or
an
exchange
between
elected
officials
that
under
this
law
it
is
the
expectation
that
the
public
be
able
to
see
everyone
participating
in
the
meeting
by
that
it
is
understood
that
your
faces
need
to
be
shown
so
our
current
process
on
youtube,
for
example,
where
you
only
see
the
speaker
and
you
do
not
see
the
panel
of
attendees
would
have
to
be
changed
so
that
all
the
attendees
would
be
visible
by
all
members
of
the
public,
not
just
the
person
who's
speaking.
H
O
It
is
true
that
the
law
will
require
video
participation,
not
just
audio,
which
includes
obviously
seeing
people's
faces.
I
have
no,
I
I'm
not
ready
to
opine
on
the
question
of
exactly
I
mean
again.
O
Folks
faces,
of
course,
can
be
seen
in
speaker
view
when
they're
speaking,
so
my
understanding
of
the
law
is
that
it's
targeted
at
preventing
you
know
calling
into
a
by
phone
without
video
participation.
I
am
happy
to
evaluate
further
the
question
of
whether
that
impacts.
The
way
that
you
do
broadcast
works
or
not,.
H
H
While
somebody
else
is
speaking,
which
is
the
whole
purpose
that
people
should
be
able
to
attend
in
person
so
that
they
can
observe
what
everyone
is
doing,
not
just
the
speaker,
but
that
was
the
the
rationale
that
was
given
in
that
discussion
as
to
why
it
was
expected
that
all
members
of
the
the
body
would
be
visually
available
over
youtube
or
video
conference.
H
A
So
yeah
so
we'll
be
using
a
meeting
owl,
which
is
basically
a
motion,
sensitive
camera
that
will
pan
the
room.
So
I
there
will
be
a
panoramic
view
of
the
entire
body,
but
that
camera
will
move
as
speakers
talk
or
get
up
if
it's
a
presenter
and
follow.
So
if,
if
there
are
further
restrictions
on
this,
the
sooner
we
find
out
about
it,
the
better
from
a
technological
aspect,
if
we
have
to
put
other
solutions
in
place.
O
Yeah
again,
all
that,
I'm
aware
of
in
the
law
and
the
requirement
that
all
members
participating
participate
via
video
conference,
not
merely
telephone
which
does
not
work,
which
in
turn
does
not
necessarily
suggest
that
the
broadcast
has
to
at
all
time
show
all
faces.
But
but
again
we'll
look
at.
C
Any
other
comments
or
questions
before
we
have
a
roll
call
vote
on
the
local
law,
and
then
I
was
just
searching
my
email.
We
did
receive
a
resolution,
an
accompanying
resolution.
I
can't
locate
that,
but.
C
C
This
one
thank
you,
that'd,
be
helpful,
sure
other
I
I
see
phoebe's
hand
rob
gerhart's
hand.
Those
are
the
two
hands.
I
see
up
right
now.
If
you
have
comments
or
questions
on
the
local
law.
K
Yes,
my
question
is:
will
this
affect
also
the
to
meet
the
so
I'm
on
the
economic-
and
I
don't
know
planning
and
economic
committee,
so
will
this
also
affect
that
too?
Yes,
okay,
it.
C
Will
yes,
it
will
so
all
for
our
well
for
things
I
can
think
of
most
readily
are
common
council,
of
course,
our
two
standing
committees,
planning
development
city,
administration,
planning
board,
all
ari
you'll,
know
the
language
better
than
me
all
public
meetings
where
there
are
votes
likely
to
be
taken
so.
O
Yeah,
no,
that's
a
good
question
phoebe
and
I
think
for
the
public
benefit
as
well.
It's
probably
worth
I'm
just
briefly
rehashing
what
this
does
and
doesn't
do
so.
New
york
state
law
was
recently
amended
on
this
subject,
effective
june
9th
the
the
status
quo
that
just
permits
fully
full
zoom
meetings
on
an
ongoing
basis
for
for
open
meetings.
A
lot
of
public
meetings
will
that
the
status
quo
will
no
longer
be
in
effect,
and
the
new
york
state
amendments
permit
us
to
opt
in
through
the
local
law.
O
That's
before
you
right
now,
in
a
manner
that
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
complexity,
but
the
short
summary
is:
it
does
two
things:
one
where
there's
not
a
state
of
emergency.
In
effect.
O
It
well,
it
does
two
things
so,
where
there's
not
a
state
of
emergency,
in
effect,
it
will
permit
a
limited
number
of
a
members
of
the
public
body,
in
this
case
the
common
council
to
jointly,
but
only
where
they
satisfy
an
extraordinary
circumstances
test,
and
we
did
share
a
memo
on
that
subject.
O
That
explains
what
that
covers.
Some
that's
in
your
agenda
packet,
so
I
won't
go
into
that
in
further
detail
right
now,
but
that's
only
where
a
quorum
of
the
body
is
physically
present
in
a
location.
O
Part
one
and
part
two
very
briefly,
is
where
there
is
a
state
of
emergency,
in
effect
generally,
as
declared
by
the
governor
and
the
body.
In
this
case,
the
common
council
concludes
that
that
state
of
emergency
is
it
prevents
the
body
from
from
gathering
physically,
then
a
fully
zoom
a
fully
remote
meeting,
zoom
meeting
like
the
one
that
we're
holding
right
now
is
permissible.
So
those
are
the
basic
points
that
come
out
of
this.
C
P
P
So
since
these
will
be
hybrid
meetings
and
there
will
be
the
chance
to
participate
as
a
public
member
of
the
public
or
city
staff
does
that
imply
that
there's
no
participation
by
the
voting
members
of
the
board?
Can
they
attend
that
meeting
remotely
or
not?
And
if
they
are
attending
they're,
obviously
not
voting,
but
can
they
participate
in
discussion,
or
should
they
not
even
be
there.
O
That's
a
really
interesting
question
rob
I
think,
there's
no
doubt
that
they
can
attend
in
the
same
capacity
that
any
member
of
the
public
can
attend
if
they
want
to
see.
What's
going
on,
they
clearly
cannot
vote,
as
you
said,
and
I
believe,
though,
I
need
to
think
about
a
little
more.
My
inclination
is
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
participate
in
the
discussion
because
they
would
not
be
there.
As
a
member
of
the
body.
C
Thank
you,
jeff.
B
Question
I
might
be
in
here
and
I'm
just
overlooked
it,
but
members
of
the
public
participating
would
public
comment
all
have
to
be
in
person
as
well
or
folks.
Gonna
still
be
able
to
zoom
in.
O
I
know
that
public
can
zoom
in
as
long
as
the
body
wants
to
let
them
and
in
fact,
in
some
cases,
that's
to
the
extent
that
the
meeting
is
being
held
on
a
hybrid
basis.
I
believe
the
public
must
be
permitted
to
participate
remotely,
if
I
recall
correctly
and
yeah.
O
If
you
want
to
see,
I
think
it's
some
paragraph,
nine
in
part
b,
where
public
comment
or
participation
in
the
meeting
is
authorized
or
required
that
the
public
would
be
that
the
body
shall
provide
the
opportunity
for
members
of
the
public
to
comment
or
participate
via
video
conference
in
real
time
yeah.
That's
it.
C
Which
also
makes
sense
in
at
least
in
the
near
future.
As
we
move
to
in-person
meetings,
we
will
have
limited
capacity
for
public
attendees,
because
we
will
still
want
to
pay
attention
to
some
social
distancing.
C
Cynthia
did
you
have
a
follow-up
jeff.
B
Yeah,
I'm
just
going
to
add
that
you
know
one
thing
that
might
make
sense
to
add
to
that
though
I
I
don't
know
if
we
can
add
it
now
or
not,
but
just
some
procedures
surrounding
how
folks
present
themselves
during
public
comment
to
make
sure
that
they
are
residents
of
ithaca
of
the
city.
You
know
so.
B
Gotcha,
it's
something
that
I
wonder
about.
If
maybe
we
should
have
that
requirement
and
no.
C
Yeah
so
I
seconded,
let's
have
a
vote
then
all
those
in
favor
of
calling
the
question.
H
B
N
K
I
I
Q
AE
A
Elder
person,
lewis
hi,
carries
nine
to
zero.
M
To
now
discuss
the
same
thing,
I
will
move
the
resolution
version
of
this
resolution
authorizing
the
use
of
video
conferencing
for
common
council
on
its
committees.
M
Whereas
part
wwe
of
chapter
56,
of
the
laws
of
2022
amended
the
public
officer's
law
to
permit
the
use
of
video
conferencing
by
public
bodies
under
certain
circumstances,
and
whereas
the
city
of
ithaca
has
employed,
video
conferencing
is
authorized
by
executive
order
and
statute
throughout
the
course
the
coveted
19
pandemic
and
found
that
video
conferencing
has
possibly
impacted
public
access,
participation,
public
meetings,
reduced
burdens
on
city
staff
and
increased
transparency
in
the
important
work
of
the
city's
various
public
bodies,
whereas
the
common
council
of
the
city
of
ithaca
desires
to
adopt
video
conferencing
procedures
consistent
with
sections
103
and
103a
of
public
officers,
law
for
itself
and
its
committees
prior
to
the
effective
date
of
a
local
law
that
would
implement
video
conferencing
on
behalf
of
all
the
city's
public
bodies.
M
Now,
therefore,
be
it
now
sorry
be
it
hereby
resolved
that
common
council
makes
the
following
findings.
Video
conferencing
is
a
valuable
tool
that
has
the
potential
to
increase
public
engagement
with
city
processes,
reduce
burdens
on
city
staff
and
provide
flexibility
for
members
of
public
bodies
in
the
event
that
extraordinary
circumstances
or
emergencies
prevent
in-person
attendance
at
public
meetings.
M
But
the
common
council
finds
that
the
circumstances
necessitating
the
state
disaster
emergency
declared
by
the
governor
with
respect
to
the
ongoing
covet
19
crisis
in
executive
orders
11
through
11.6
and
any
subsequent
extensions
thereof,
do
affect
or
impair
the
ability
of
common
council
and
its
committees
to
hold
in-person
meetings
and
that
fully
remote
meetings
are
therefore
authorized
for
the
duration
of
the
state
disaster
emergency
and
be
a
further
resolve
that
this
resolution
shall
be
effective
immediately.
Upon
passage,
I
saw
move.
C
For
a
second
jorge,
thank
you,
is
it
acceptable
to
have
the
local
law
listed
in
our
agenda
as
5.4
a
and
this
resolution
5.4
b?
Is
that
acceptable
to
the
mover.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
comment.
O
Yes,
just
a
very
brief
one,
which
is,
as
you
can
see,
this
is
incredibly
similar
to
the
local
law.
The
relevant
hold
on
the
relevant
difference
to
site
is
simply
that
the
resolution
is
not
capable
in
this
particular
context,
of
acting
on
behalf
of
bodies
other
than
the
common
council
and
its
standing
committees.
As
you
can
see,
so.
The
local
law
acts
for
all
public
bodies
in
the
city
of
the
resolution,
which
can
take
effect
immediately.
N
H
O
Sent
to
you
is,
I
think,
specifically
on
behalf
of
council
and
ca
and
bdc.
M
Including
5.4
b
will
move
to
5.5
request
to
increase
funding
for
capital
project
906
enterprise-wide,
permitting
software,
whereas
the
department
of
public
information
and
technology
submitted
a
capital
project
proposal
which
was
approved
as
part
of
the
2022
city
of
ithaca
budget
in
the
amount
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
purchase
open,
gov
software
for
the
purpose
of
enterprise-wide
permitting.
M
Whereas
each
of
the
aforementioned
departments
have
identified
multiple
permitting
processes
that
they
believe
would
be
more
efficient,
collaborative
and
transparent
through
the
use
of
opengov
software.
Whereas
opengov
software
is
web-based
and
allows
information
to
be
shared
across
departments
in
the
office
or
in
the
field
through
a
robust
mobile
device
platform.
And
it
also
integrates
with
existing
city
software
programs
such
as
laserfiche
for
document
management
and
newer
financial
processing.
M
Two
thousand
dollars
now,
therefore
be
a
result
that
that
capital
project
906
be
amended
by
an
amount
not
to
exceed
53
525
for
a
total
project,
authorization
of
one
hundred
and
sixty
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
for
the
procurement
of
open,
gov
software
and
related
services
through
a
cooperative
purchasing
agreement
and
yet
further
resolved
that
funds
necessary
for
said
project
amendment
be
allocated
from
existing
arpa
funds.
Iso
move.
C
None
patrick
did
you
have
a
question.
AA
It
might
just
be
on
the
agenda,
but
5.5
says
authorizing
cevante.
M
You
are
pages
above
where
we
are
we're
on
page
98.,
that's
an
old
resolution.
That's
supporting
documentation
for
the
block
power
contract.
M
5.6
authorization
of
fy22
implementing
crisis
intervention
teams,
community
policing
development,
solicitation
application,
whereas
in
2021
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council,
resolved
to
evaluate
existing
models
and
implement
an
alternative
law
enforcement
response
system
for
crisis
intervention
and
wrap
around
health
and
human
service
delivery,
and
whereas
the
u.s
department
of
justice,
community-oriented
policing
services,
cops
grants
program,
makes
federal
funds
available
to
advance
work
that
promotes
civil
rights
and
racial
equity.
Increased
access
to
justice
supports
crime,
victims
and
individuals.
M
We
have
further
resolved
that
the
acting
mayor
of
the
city
of
ithaca
b
and
is
hereby
authorized
and
to
execute
all
necessary
agreements
and
that
the
chief
of
police
is
hereby
authorized
to
execute
all
certifications
and
reimbursement
requests
for
funding
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
ithaca
in
connection
with
the
advancement
or
approval
of
the
project
and
providing
for
the
administration
of
the
project
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
this
resolution
shall
take
effect
immediately.
M
And
I'll
just
start
with,
since
I
think
I'm
listed
as
the
presenter
on
this
colleagues
you'll
all
know
that
I
I
circulated
this
opportunity
when
it
first
became
available
via
email.
M
M
I
would
note
for
colleagues
edification
that
this
funding
is
explicitly
not
allowed
for
existing
uniform
services,
so
it
would
be
required
that
training
which
would
be
available
to
anyone
or
the
development
of
unarmed
non.
You
know,
non-traditional
uniformed
individuals
would
be
under
the
scope
of
the
grant
project.
Even
anything
you
want
to
add.
AE
AE
Welcome
the
opportunity
and
anything
I
do
to
support
this
and
help
out
in
the
grant
process.
Please
let
me
know,
I
think
this
is
a
huge
step
forward
and
I
appreciate
it.
K
Hello,
I
fully
support
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
for
finding
this.
It
goes
along
with
the
reimagining
public
safety,
my
only
so
it
would
this
money
be
for
the
the
the
group
that
they're
gonna
be
getting
through
reimagining
public
safety,
or
would
this
be
a
grant
that
could
promote
others
in
the
community
that
are
already
doing
this
type
of
work
with
their
community.
M
Laura
you
would
be
right
if
I
respond
to
that.
Yes,.
C
M
Thanks
for
that
question
phoebe,
so
what
the
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
what
we
can
put
into
the
grant
in
terms
of
who
we
might
work
with
on
developing
training
modules
or
things
like
that,
the
the
funding
is
specifically
scoped
for
in
terms
of
personnel
costs,
it
would
require
us
to
hire
unarmed
crisis
intervention.
Folks,
but
george,
oh
george,
is
back
great
george
asked
a
great
question
at
ca,
which
was
like
well.
If
we
develop
trainings,
is
it
only
eligible
to
people
who
are
in
this?
M
You
know
this
new
crisis
intervention
response.
Even
no
that's
not
the
case.
The
training
could
be
available
more
widely
than
that
and
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
offline.
If
you'd,
like
about
some
of
the
more
specifics
of
the
grant,
call
for
proposal
as
we
develop,
the
the
the
submission.
AD
Yeah,
no,
no
questions
here.
Just
I
just
like
to
highlight
that
I'm
real
I'm,
I'm
very
glad
and
grateful
for
robert's
client
for
finding
this
and
for
putting
the
work
into
this.
I've
supported
it
supported
ncaa
and
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
it
now,
and
I
just
want
to
just
highlight
a
point
that
both
robert
and
phoebe
have
made
is
that
this
is
reimagining
public
safety.
AD
We
are
taking
recommendations
from
the
existing
reports
and
and
really
acting
on
them
right
now,
and
I
I
cannot
stress
enough
that
we
are,
we
are
proving
what
I've
said
before.
Is
that
we
don't.
We
don't
have
to
wait
on
certain
things
that
you
know
there
are
certain
things
we
might
want
to
develop
and
discuss,
but
right
now
there
are
things
we
can
do
right
now:
they're
living
up
to
the
the
aspirations
that
they
came
to
us
from
the
working
group,
and
so
I'm
very
glad
to
support
this.
AD
AA
M
Yeah
I
mean
I
would
say
my
estimation
is
that,
given
that
the
city
has
invested
time
and
resources
into
developing
a
pretty
comprehensive
plan,
oh
I
have
my
blurred
background
on.
You
can't
see
me
holding
up
the
reimagining
report,
but
you
know
that
we've
devoted
a
lot
of
time
and
thought
into
how
we
would
pursue
this
type
of
work.
That
certainly
is
a
contributing
factor
to
the
readiness,
the
kind
of
shovel
readiness
of
the
project,
and
so
I
would
say
you
know
it's
it's.
M
C
Yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
robert
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
I
agree
with
jorge's
comments
too.
This
really
does
speak
to
us.
Have
a
couple
of
things
that
we've
talked
about
and
we'll
continue
to
talk
about
tonight,
really
address
moving
forward
on
the
reimagining
public
safety
initiatives
and
recommendations.
M
Add
one
last
thing:
sorry
laura
just
for
the
public's
benefit,
because
I
I'm
sure
it's
all
in
our
mind
as
a
given,
but
this
grant
funding
would,
of
course
you
know
the
the
project
in
question.
It
would
go
for
two
years
and
then,
of
course
you
know
we
would
I'm
at
you
know,
support
whatever
we
stand
up
with
operating
funds
in
future
years.
But
just
again,
a
value
of
of
this
type
of
funding
is
that
it
allows
us
to
ramp
up
what
we're
doing
at
a
much.
M
All
right
we're
halfway
through
the
ca
items,
5.7
emergency
repair
authorization
for
ipd
hvac
system,
whereas
the
hvac
system
at
the
ipd
building
recently
failed
and
is
in
need
of
immediate
repair
to
provide
air
conditioning
as
we
approach
summer
and
limitations
on
temporary
air
conditioning
units
prevent
adequate
cooling
for
the
entire
building
and
whereas
the
estimated
cost
of
repairs
is
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
which
normally
requires
the
city
to
seek
competitive
bids.
M
Unless
there
is
an
emergency
situation,
whereas
a
competitive
bid
process
will
extend
the
repair
time
from
five
weeks
to
eight
or
nine
weeks,
bringing
the
completion
date
to
early
august
and
increasing
the
cost
of
temporary
air
conditioning
unit.
Rentals
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved.
The
common
council
agrees
that
the
loss
of
air
conditioning
capability
at
the
ithaca
police
station
at
the
start
of
summer
constitutes
an
emergency
and
be
it
further
resolved.
M
M
Moving
to
5.8
request
to
release
restricted
contingency
funding
for
community
justice
center,
whereas
as
part
of
the
authorized
2022
city
budget,
307,
666
dollars
was
included
in
the
restricted
contingency
account
for
the
city
share
of
the
community
justice
center,
a
jointly
funded
city
county
collaborative
to
re,
to
implement
the
reimagining
public
safety
plans
and
whereas
the
county
is
putting
together,
the
community,
justice,
staffing
and
programming
program,
funding
for
2022,
including
a
project
director
data,
analyst
and
administrative
assistant
and
related
fringe
benefits
and
other
program
expenditures
at
an
annual
estimated
cost
of
two
hundred
and
seventy
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
six
dollars.
M
And
whereas
the
city
already
funded
a
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirty
dollars,
which
was
transferred
from
unrestricted
contingency
in
21
and
encumbered
to
22
for
the
community
justice
center
city
share
of
funding.
But
this
amount
did
not
include
funding
for
a
shared
administrative
assistant
position
and
whereas
the
estimated
additional
city
share
of
funding
needed
for
22
is
fourteen
thousand
and
twenty
three
dollars
for
the
administrative
assistant
position.
M
Now,
therefore
be
a
resolve.
That
common
council
hereby
release
an
amount
not
to
exceed.
Fourteen
thousand
and
twenty
three
dollars
from
the
appropriate,
restricted
contingency
account
to
the
appropriate
community
justice
center
account
for
the
purposes
of
funding
city
share
of
administrative
assistant
position
for
the
jointly
funded
community
justice
center.
I
saw
a
move.
M
All
right,
whereas
the
capital
project,
sorry,
this
is
a
resolution
authorizing
the
issuance
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
bonds
for
the
city
of
ithaca,
tompkins,
county
new
york
to
pay
certain
new
york.
Sorry,
certain
new
city
costs
of
the
cass
park,
ice
rink
in
and
for
said
city,
whereas
the
capital
project
here
and
after
described
as
proposed,
has
been
determined
to
be
a
type
2
action.
M
Pursuant
to
the
regulations
of
new
york
state
department
of
environmental
conservation
promulgated
pursuant
to
the
state
environmental
quality
review
act,
which
regulates
which
regulations
state
that
type
2
actions
will
not
have
a
significant
adverse
effect
on
the
environment
and
whereas
it
is
now
desired
to
authorize
bonds
for
the
financing
thereof.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
affirmative
vote
of
not
less
than
two-thirds
of
the
total
voting
strength
of
the
common
council
of
the
city
of
ithaca,
tompkins,
county
new
york
as
follows,
and
I
will
move
this
as
written.
C
Yeah,
is
there
any
comment
or
steve?
Did
you
have
any
comment
on
this.
AB
No
just
that
these
next
four
resolutions
are
all
bond
resolutions
authorizing
the
for
us
to
go
out
and
issue
funds
for
the
city
to
pay
for
the
projects
that
council
has
previously
authorized.
So
we
get
these
bonding
resolutions
from
our
bonding
attorney.
So
that's
why
they're
written
in
a
different
text,
but
definitely
have
to
pass
if
we
want
to
authorize
me
to
go
out
and
issue
those
funds
to
pay
for
the
projects.
C
Q
J
N
S
P
I
I
T
M
M
Next,
a
resolution
authorizing
the
issuance
of
an
additional
1.85
million
dollar
bonds
of
the
city
of
ithaca,
tompkins
county
new
york
to
pay
part
of
the
cost
of
the
reconstruction
of
college
avenue
in
and
for
said
city.
And
I
will
move
this
all
as
written.
C
Go
ahead
with
roll
call,
please
julie!
Oh
the.
U
U
S
M
P
I
believe
it's
like
the
tuning
fork
to
mitchell
street.
Maybe
is
that
right.

I
Q

AE
AE
AD
B
AB
Do
I'll
give
a
quick
report
if
that's
okay,
I'll
be
super
quick,
because
I
see
it's
late,
just
updates
sales
tax
we're
running
23
ahead
of
2021,
so
that's
great
news
continue
to
be
impressed
with
sales
tax
as
we
move
through
this
uncertain
time
period.
Building
permit
revenues,
we've
collected
almost
a
million
dollars
of
our
two
million
and
seventy
thousand
dollar
budget,
so
starting
to
make
progress
there,
cpi.
As
we
all
know,
inflation
is
very
high.
AB
The
april
cpi
was
8.3
percent
that
was
down
just
a
bit
from
8.5
percent
in
march.
AB
Cpi
is
running
8.1
for
the
first
four
months
of
2022,
and
that
is
a
40-year
high
and
continues
to
drive
much
higher
costs
for
all
our
operations
for
the
city
mortgage
tax,
our
2022
budget
for
mortgage
tax
is
500
000
and
we
get
installments
semi-annually
and
our
first
payment
came
in
and
we
collected
544
thousand
dollars
so
doing
very
well
right
up
off
the
bat
and
mortgage
tax,
so
that's
up
297
000
from
the
same
period
and
from
2021
and
then
lastly,
capital
project
submittals
are
now
due,
but
to
the
for
the
departments
to
submit
to
us
we'll
start
our
review
process
on
july
1st,
and
we
are
now
in
process
of
developing
our
2023
budget
guidelines,
which
will
likely
go
out
in
about
three
weeks
or
so
for
departments
to
submit
their
budgets
to
us
around
august
1st,
and
with
that
I
will
end
my
report
and
if
there's
any
questions,
I
can
answer
those
thanks.
C
Okay,
let's
move
on
to
6.1,
that
is
the
individual
member
filed
item
from
all
the
person.
When
just
a
reminder,
this
is
not
a
voting
item.
It
is
a
discussion
item
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague
other
person
win.
N
And
because
it's
not
a
voting
item,
I'm
not
going
to
read
it.
You've
had
a
chance
to
read
it,
and
I
also
note
that,
because
it
was
done
hastily,
I
mean
I
am
not
a
lawyer.
So
basically
I
searched
the
code
for
chief
of
police
and
police
chief
and
made
some
some
calls
of
which
ones
should
be
moved
over
and
didn't
even
get
through
them
all,
hence
the
embarrassing,
etc.
N
At
the
end,
and
so
I
won't
say
much,
I
think
you
know
my
position
and
those
much
of
those
much
of
those
feelings
were
articulated
by
some
of
the
people
who
spoke
earlier
tonight.
N
So
I'm
going
to
have
in
the
interest
of
time
put
forward,
and
you
know
everyone
can
speak
about
whatever
they
want,
but.
N
Is
my
specific
ask
will
be
whether
there
is
interest
in
convening
a
meeting,
a
cow,
or
maybe
it's
not
called
a
cow
depending
on
how
many,
so
our
rules
of
procedure
allow
six
members
of
council
to
convene
a
meeting,
and
I
think
my
specific
ask
of
you
tonight
with
knowing
that
we've
had
a
long
meeting
already.
N
Is
that
we
convene
a
meeting
specifically
to
discuss
this
issue
and
I'll
leave
that
and
allow
everyone
else
time
to
speak.
C
N
Thank
you
yes,
not
only
before
july,
but
with
sufficient
time
to
craft
something
better
and
to
allow
it
to
age
and
fulfill
the
public
hearing
requirements.
C
So
our
next
council
meeting
is
july.
6.
C
I
turned
to
city
attorney
for
a
reminder
on
the
the
timing.
What
before
I
do
that,
let
me
just
make
a
couple
of
comments.
If
I
may,
I,
as
my
colleagues
know,
served
on
the
rematch
in
public
safety
working
group.
C
C
There
was
a
vote
tonight
on
the
community
justice
center,
which
we
have
supported
financially
already
and
additional
support
tonight.
C
C
C
There
is
one
large
recommendation
that
we're
discussing
tonight,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
that
we
have
taken
action
on
recommendations
that
came
out
of
the
remedy,
re-mentioning
public
safety
working
group-
that's
not
to
say
we
don't
have
considerable
more
work
to
do.
I
don't
want
to
be
patting
ourselves
on
the
back
and
saying:
okay,
we're
done.
We
are
by
no
means
completed
in
the
work
of
reimagining.
We
have
plenty
to
do.
C
C
I
am
concerned
about
moving
too
quickly
same
concern
came
up
in
our
reimagining
public
safety
working
group.
The
working
group
report
was
intended
to
be
submitted
to
council
earlier
than
the
late
february
early
march
date.
It
actually
was
the
reason
for
that
is
a
number
of
us
saying
we
needed
more
time.
We
needed
time
to
be
thorough,
deliberative
in
what
we
were
going
to
be
submitting
and
that
same
concern
about
the
time
needed
to
discuss.
C
Answer
questions.
There
are
a
number
of
unanswered
questions.
To
my
mind
that
need
to
be
addressed
before
I
would
feel
ready
to
vote
to
move
forward
on
a
referendum,
but
there's
also
the
timing
question
that
doesn't
completely
dictate
our
decisions,
but
it
is
a
part
that
we
have
to
take
into
consideration
as
well.
That
being
said,
I'll
turn
over
to
ari
for
those
that
timeline.
O
Sure
yeah,
thank
you
laura,
so
speaking,
just
to
the
procedural
issues
and
not
not
to
the
sort
of
unanswered
questions,
of
which
I
think
that
there
definitely
are
some
that
council
may
want
to
sort
through,
but
speaking
just
to
the
procedural
timeline
of
a
local
law
itself.
I'm
assuming
that
the
council
knows
exactly
what
it
wants
to
do
on
that
timeline
and
feels
that
all
questions
that
it
needs
answered
have
been
answered.
O
The
bottom
line
is,
we
would
need
counsel
to
instruct
provide
pretty
precise
instructions
on
exactly
what
that
local
law
should
look
like
by
the
end
of
week
after
next.
So
you
pretty
much
have
the
next
two
weeks
next
week
and
the
week
after
that,
in
which
to
provide
clear
instruction
on
what
that
local
law
would
look
like,
so
that
final
preparations
in
terms
of
precise
polishing
of
the
local
law
could
be
made
early
the
following
week.
O
In
order
to,
if
you
were
to
settle
the
matter
by
friday,
the
17th,
which
is
the
end
of
week
after
next
then
in
the
beginning
of
the
following
week
on
the
28th
and
21st
staff,
could
take
any
last
steps
needed
to
make
sure
that
the
local
law
was
precisely
prepared
to
be
laid
on
the
table
and
it
would
need
to
be
laid
on
the
table
in
the
middle
of
that
week
on.
O
I,
I
believe
it
would
be
on
wednesday
the
22nd
that
would
need
to
be
laid
on
the
table
in
order
to
age
sufficiently
under
new
york.
State
law
under
the
municipal
home
rule
law
requirements
to
be
eligible
for
a
final
vote
at
the
july
6th
common
council
meeting.
So
that
is
the
somewhat
short
version
of
the
procedural
story.
There's
a
lot
else
that
goes
into
getting
a
law
to
take
effect.
But
that's
a
key
timeline
issue
that
you
need
to
know
about
right
now.
C
K
This
is
phoebe,
and
I
don't
know
as
a
black
woman
who
have
seen,
inequities
and
and
injustices
in
my
community.
K
When
I
hear
y'all
say
we
need
to
take
our
time
or
we
need
to
be
exactly,
we
need
to
be
sure,
sits
uncomfortably
in
my
in
my
gut
right,
because
we've
been
waiting
for
a
very
long
time,
and
so
for
me
I
I
I
want
to
see
some.
I
I
I'm
just.
I
just
needed
to
make
that
comment,
because
we've
been
waiting
a
very
long
time
to
feel
some
changes
to
feel
that
we're
valued
to
feel
that
this
executive
order
give
us
some
peace
of
mind.
AD
Yeah,
I
was
if
we're,
if
we're
going
to
be
discussing
about
potentially
having
a
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
or
something
of
of
the
of
that
light
that
nature
prior
to
our
next
year,
a
july
meeting.
I
know
we're
going
to
be
it's
meetings
of
that
nature,
pretty
specific
and
what
we
are
allowed
to
talk
about,
and
I
know
we
want
to
hone
in
on
the
question
of
civilian
oversight
of
of
the
you
know
the
department
of
community
solutions
or
division
of
police
whatever
it
may
be,
fully
support
that.
AD
I
definitely
want
to
move
forward
on
legislation
like
that.
Of
that
regard.
I'd
like
to
see
us
have
a
more
robust
conversation
about
it,
with
more
transparency
with
the
public.
I
would
also
like
to
see
if
we
can
make
room
to
talk
about
an
idea
that
has
been
you
know
brought
up
prior
in
the
past
couple
of
discussions
regarding
public
regarding
reimagining,
public
safety
and
return
to
the
question
of
a
committee,
a
standing
committee
regarding
public
safety.
AD
I
think
we
should
be
having
those
conversations
in
tandem
with
the
conversations
of
legislation
regarding
civilian
oversight,
because
I
feel
like
they're,
going
to
have
to
be
very
dependent
on
one
another
in
terms
of
how
we
are
dealing
with.
You
know
how
we're
dealing
with
how
this
person
will
be.
You
know
vetted
and
looked
through,
but
also
how
we're
going
to
make
sure
we're
doing
long-term
commitments
to
the
projects
of
reimagining,
public
safety
and
the
the
work
and
efforts
of
the
working
group.
AD
And
so
I
know
we're
going
to
have
to
get
very
specific
with
what
we
can
talk
about
at
this
next
meeting.
And
I
was
hoping
we
could
maybe
earmark
some
some
time
for
that
at
that
meeting
as
well.
C
Now
you
mentioned
standing
committee,
and
I
know
this
came
up
in
one
of
our
earlier
committee
of
the
whole
meetings.
It
may
be
that
we
can
decide
on
an
ad
hoc
committee
in
the
short
run,
to
have
this
these
discussions
and
then
look
at
the
possibility
of
instituting
or
recommending
a
standing
committee
going
forward.
AD
Sure
I
I
whatever
I
would
just.
I
would
like
a
discussion
on
the
us
to
have
a
conversation
of
that
subject
matter
to
be
to
be
on
the
table.
However,
structure
that
takes
shape
or
whatever
structure
takes
shape
as
a
result
of
that
I'm
open
to
discussing.
AD
C
J
J
Generally
speaking
and
all
the
work
that
shelley
michelle
nan
did
to
to
get
those
people
to
talk.
J
And
I
take
that
very
seriously
and
that's
why
council
last
april
or
whenever
it
was
passed,
these
resolutions
or
recommendations.
J
I
am
not
convinced
that
this
is
the
best
organizational
method
moving
forward
and
I'll
I'll
say
why,
as
simply
as
I
can,
I
think
it's
a
top-heavy
organization.
J
Excuse
me
we're
about
to
also
perhaps
select
a
city
manager,
so
a
city
manager,
and
then
a
commissioner
of
public
safety
would
both
oversee
the
department
of
community
solutions
and
the
police
department.
J
Is
problematic
because
it
doesn't
really
fit
into
our
current
schedule
or
and
shelley
could
tell
explain
this
better
than
I.
But
if
a
commissioner
is
the
head
of
a
department,
then
there
would
be
compression
below
that.
The
chief
of
police,
salary
might
decrease
and
then
that
squishes
in
with
the
lieutenants,
etc,
etc,
or
the
other
option
is
for
the
commissioner
to
have
a
higher
salary
than
all
the
other
department
heads.
So
that's
a
problem.
J
J
So
that's
something
to
consider
the
other
thing
that
bothers
me
is
that
I
mean
cevante,
believes
in
this
structure,
so
much
that
he
has
actually
hired
at
least
four
people
to
promote
this
idea,
and
perhaps
even
two
of
the
people
who
spoke
at
public
comment
today
are
employed
by
people
for
the
american
way,
so
that
group,
which
now
calls
itself
reimagining
public
safety
in
ithaca,
is
lobbying
hard
throughout
the
community
to
get
their
version
of
community
public's
their
version
of
reimagining
they're,
not
going
to
tell
you
about
these
problems
that
exist
with
this
one
particular
position.
J
So
I
I'm
concerned
that
the
public
isn't
getting
the
full
story,
and
I
know
that
duck
and
laura
feel
very
strongly
that
we
should
have
this.
Commissioner,
there
are
advantages
to
it.
I
I
grant
you,
but
I
have
concerns
about
it,
and
I
think
we
can
reimagine
not
necessarily
making
this
the
centerpiece.
C
C
Some
of
this
strikes
me
is
the
kind
of
discussion
we
would
want
to
we're
talking
about
personnel
issues.
We
often
do
that
in
in
executive
session
I'll
turn
to
ari
and
shelly
for
any
comments
on
george's
comments.
M
C
Okay,
is
there
a
second
to
extend
to
11,
30
or
hey?
I
see
that
hand
go
up
slowly,
all
those
in
favor
of
extending
to
11
30.
yeah,
that's
unanimous.
I
know
opposed.
P
K
C
M
C
Yeah,
I
I
heard
members
saying
that
there
is
interest
in
a
special
meeting
of
council,
so
what
I
would
suggest
is.
C
C
I
see
heads
nodding
on
that.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
other
at
least
one
other
agenda
item
that
I
really
must
have
us
get
to
tonight
and
we
have
an
executive
session.
So
is
there
agreement
to
table
this
discussion
for
a
special
meeting
of
council
to
be
determined
in
the
next
few
days,
the
date
of
which
will
be
determined
in
the
next
few
days?
C
C
Okay,
thank
you.
I
didn't
want
to
just
leave
after
having
asked,
especially
okay.
There
is
one
agenda
item
that
I
sent
to
council.
This
is
under
mayor's
appointments
and
this
is
the
appointment
of
a
director
of
planning.
C
I
circulated
this
apologies
for
it
being
late,
but
we
were
working
on
the
offer
and
the
acceptance
of
the
offer
and
notifying
other
candidates,
which
is
why
this
came
to
you
as
late
as
it
did.
But
resolution
appointment
of
the
director
of
planning
and
development
resolved
that
lisa
nicholas,
be
and
hereby
is
appointed
to
the
position
of
director
of
planning
and
development
at
the
2021
management
compensation
plan,
salary
of
103
300..
Oh.
K
C
Dollars
effective
june,
2nd
2022
and
appointments
of
department
heads
require
a
vote
of
council,
which
is
why
I'm
bringing
this
forward.
But
this
has
my
full
support
and
the
unanimous
support
of
the
search
committee.
C
C
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor.
C
Thank
you.
This
is
a
valued
staff
member
and
I'm
pleased
that
we
have
been
able
to
make
this
so
we
have
did.
We
approve
the
extension
to
11
30
to
allow
for
executive
session.
C
Let's
vote
on
extending,
we
will
waive
reports
from
any
council
liaisons
and
staff
and
city
clerk
and
city
attorney,
but
all
those
in
favor
of
moving
to
executive
session
to
discuss
pending
litigation.
M
So
I
will
again
motion
that
we're
extending
to
11
20
to
do
executive
session.
I
think.
C
11
30,
if
we
finished
by
11
20
great
jorge
jorge
seconds
that
all
those
in
favor.
C
Two,
so
that's
eight
to
two:
we
will
extend
to
11
30..
The
reason
I
wanted
to
extend
to
11
30
is
because
we
have-
I
don't
know
how
many
hours
so
I
would
like
to
ask
and
people
would
be
willing
to
take
a
five
minute
break
and
then
come
back.
C
We
have
a
separate
zoom
link
for
the
executive
session.
Wait
a
minute.
O
Think
is
where
laura
may
have
been
going
and
that's
right.
There's
a
separate
zoom
link
for
the
executive
session.
We
will
need
to
council
will
need
to
vote
vote
into
that
executive
session,
but
there
is
an
anticipated
resolution
to
be
voted
on
coming
out
of
the
executive
session,
which
would
be
voted
upon
back
here
in
public
session.
So
I
just
want
everyone
to
know
that.
O
C
So
would
my
colleagues
prefer
that
we
just
move
now
directly
to
the
executive
session?
Okay,
all
right
robert
is
making
a
motion
to
move
to
executive
session
and.
C
Pending
rob
robert
and
seconded
patrick.
C
All
right,
it
looks
like
that
is
unanimous
to
move
into
executive
session,
just
a
reminder
that
is
on
a
separate
link.
So
we.
C
No
because
we're
not
adjourning
yet
remember,
we
have
an
executive
session
and
then
we
anticipate
needing
to
return
to
open
meeting
to
vote
on
something
that
may
come
out
of
executive
session.
So
we're
not
a
journalist.
C
Okay,
see
people
momentarily
fingers
crossed
in
the
executive
session.
