Description
20:42 - Reimagining Public Safety Collaborative Update
B
B
I
do
have
one
change
to
the
agenda,
so
I'd
like
to
pull
what
was
a
member
filed
resolution
to
perform
a
study
on
the
streetery
in
order
to
open
it
by
2022,
I'd
like
to
pull
that
if
I
could
so
that
was
coming
directly
from
me
when
it
was
clear
that
there
weren't
the
votes
out
of
the
city
administration
committee,
wanted
the
chance
to
regroup
and
see
if
we
could
put
together
a
plan
that
would
build
support.
It
looks
like
we
have
not
been
able
to
do
that.
B
The
consensus
fuel
council,
the
members
have
spoken
to
seems,
like
you
know,
closing
warrior
street
is
nice,
as
they
sometimes
think,
and
if
there
was
the
opportunity
to
close
it
on
certain
nights
or
weekends.
If
we're
festival
weekends,
we
could
do
that,
but
keeping
it
closed
on
a
semi-permanent
basis,
like
we've
done
these
last
two
years,
not
totally
workable.
B
So
we're
going
gonna,
bring
it
back
in-house
and
ask
the
staff
to
consider
for
future
years,
starting
in
2023
and
beyond.
What
could
be
done
to
make
the
aurora
street
easier
to
open
and
close
and
we'll
make
sure
to
consult
with
the
not
only
the
businesses
down
there,
but
the
folks
who
travel
to
and
from
south,
though,
who
are
most
directly
impacted
traffic
wise?
B
Okay,
so
before
we
get
into
a
regular
order
of
business,
I
do
have
a
few
proclamations
four
to
be.
In
fact,
the
first
I'd
like
to
read
to
you,
whereas
donna
fleming
has
represented
the
third
ward
on
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council
for
three
terms
throughout
which
time
she
has
always
shown
respectful
engagement
with
colleagues
and
members
of
the
public
on
even
the
most
challenging
issues,
whereas
donna
has
been
a
long-standing
contributor
to
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee.
B
I'm
not
done
with
you,
yet
I
don't
know
yet
so
so
hold
on.
I
have
three
more
proclamations
where
is.
Graham
kirslik
has
represented
the
fourth
ward
in
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council
for
three
terms
serving
on
the
city
administration
committee
for
much
of
that
time,
whereas
one
of
graham's,
most
notable
accomplishments
on
council,
has
been
his
role
in
the
revision
of
the
college
town
plan.
B
B
G
B
B
B
That
was
that
was
one
last
attempt
to
get
that
to
fill
in
his
acting
mayor.
As
I
was
saying,
the
the
the
sheer
volume
of
of
events
and
meetings
to
which
my
office
gets
invited
to
that
deb
and
seth
have
filled
in
for
over
the
last
decade.
It's
hard
really
to
describe
and
they've
just
done
an
incredible
job.
B
Tompkins
who
worked
with
students
at
ithaca
college
in
tc3
and
now
is
associate
vice
president
at
tc3,
whereas
deb's
numerous
accomplishments
is
older.
Person
are
difficult
to
capture.
She
seems
to
have
the
ability
to
be
in
two
places
at
once.
However,
her
leadership
is
noteworthy
to
all
who've
worked
with
her.
C
C
K
A
K
K
K
B
L
I
mean
just
to
echo
what
everyone
said.
I
can't
have
asked
for
a
better
group
of
folks
to
start
with,
like
you
know,
sort
of
my
first
real
thing
in
public
office
and
public
service.
I
am
so
thankful
that
I
can
be
able
to
look
back
on
this
like
50
years
from
now
and
be
able
to
look
at
the
group
of
people.
I
was
able
to
work
with
and
get
to
have.
L
Is
that
sort
of
first
government,
family
and
I'd
be
remiss
not
to
say
how
much
thanks,
I
o,
graham
as
being
my
fourth
word
buddy
and
the
amount
of
text
and
private
zoom,
stats
and
stuff
that
I've
bombarded
with
him
in
the
past
two
months.
Graham,
the
ward
is,
is
sad
to
see
you
no
longer
be
our
representative
and
we're
sad
to
see
you,
but
I
can
almost
promise
you
that
there
will
at
least
be
one
mandatory,
come
to
ctb
and
say
hi
to
all
of
us,
even
if
you're
no
longer
a
council
member.
M
M
You
know
the
the
respect
that
I
see
among
this
group
of
colleagues,
even
when
we,
you
know
when
we
agree,
but
even
when
we
don't
agree
on
things
is
really
sets
the
bar
high
for
the
work
that
we
do
and
you'll
be
missed
and,
of
course,
we're
happy
that
you'll
still
be
around
here,
so
we'll
have
those
opportunities
to
connect.
But
thank
you
and
a
very
special
thanks
to
my
ward,
mate
donna.
She
certainly
has
been
a
leader
in
our
community
for
a
while.
M
N
I
can't
believe
it's
been
10
years.
A
lot
of
us
came
on
together,
cevante,
when,
when
you
were
elected
mayor
you,
you
had
practically
a
whole
new
council
except
for
deb,
who
helped
steer
us
and
guide
us
to
come
together.
I
I
remember
one
of
the
first
things
we
did
was
we
had
a
council
retreat
and
onboarding
with
which
dad
helped
to
organize.
N
And-
and
we
all
went
through
this
crash
course
of
of
learning
how
to
be
on
council
and
our
roles
and
setting
a
vision
for
our
community
and
we
a
lot
of
good
work
came
out
of
that.
And
I
I
remember,
deb
encouraging
us
to
watch
the
lego
movie,
which
I
don't
think
I've
actually
seen
yet
to
to
talk
about
how
we're
all
in
this
together
and
that
really
set
a
framework
and
a
tone
for
the
relationship
we've
had.
As
a
group.
N
I've
had
a
chance
to
get
to
know
some
of
you
really
well
donna
and
graham
and
seth
a
little
bit,
and
I
wish
it
had
a
chance
to
build
more
of
that
personal
relationship.
But
our
professional
relationship
has
always
been
professional,
respectful
compassionate
with
the
highest
level
of
dedication,
and
all
of
you
really
set
the
tone
for
that,
and
I'm
so
grateful
and
appreciative
of
of
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
N
B
You
can
get
away,
but
not
too
far
away
so
more
to
say
more
to
celebrate,
looking
forward
to
the
to
the
15th.
But
I
really
want
to
appreciate
wanted
to
appreciate
all
of
you
and
make
sure
that
it
got
into
the
record
and
followers
support
and
encouragement
to
remember
that
this
is
technically
the
last
council
member
meeting,
not
the
15th,
so
that
we
got
to
do
it
today.
B
P
I'm
just
getting
it
set
up
for
us,
okay,
I
think
I
have
it
now.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Yes,
savante
just
introduced
me
for
those
who
don't
know
who
I
am
and
tonight
we
will
not
take
up
any
more
time
than
we
normally
do,
but
I
will
be
sharing
this
presentation
with
eric
rosario
and
I
believe
we
have
hans
from
the
center
for
policing,
equity
and
deanna
carrillo's,
who
are
also
here
as
backup.
P
F
F
F
You've
asked
us
to
compose
it
as
outlined
here:
ipd
staff,
city
staff,
older
persons.
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
laura
duckson
and
george
for
their
excellent
service
and
also
to
rob
gearhart
who's
on
one
of
our
subcommittees,
which
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later.
We
have
you
know
wide
range
of
community
members
and
a
wide
range
of
limited
experiences,
and
also
technical
experts
and
consultants.
F
We
partnered
with
the
center
for
policing
equity
to
help
provide
programming,
support
and
so
we're
our
charts,
as
I
said,
to
outline
the
structure
of
the
new
public
safety
system
and
then
submit
those
recommendations
to
you
on
council.
I
think
there
are
a
few
more
slides
about
where
we
are
with
the
reimagining
public
safety
writ
large
with
the
county
and-
and
I
will
come
back
when
we
come
back
to
the
work
the
working
group
has
been
doing
specifically
so
I'll,
be
right
here,
I'll
just
let
shelley
and
deanna
take
it.
P
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
eric
quickly.
I
just
want
to
note
this
beautiful
mural
that
is
attached
to
this
powerpoint.
This
is
our
very
own
harmony.
Malone.
I
think
this
is
stunning,
and
I
want
to
thank
dominic
again
for
making
sure
that
we
can
represent
these
beautiful
murals
in
a
in
our
presentation.
Harmony.
Malone
did
I
mention
she's,
a
gx
staffer
and
a
descendant
of
cecil
malone
quickly
in
terms
of
progress.
Update,
we've
had
two
kickoffs
this
past
month.
P
One
was
naming
of
the
city
department
and
what
we
did
with
the
working
group
is.
We
had
them
identify
possible
names
for
the
new
department.
Then
we
went
to
the
community
via
the
website
and
also
through
the
tompkins
weekly
and
asked
the
community
to
provide
their
suggestions
and
ideas
for
a
new
name
for
the
new
department
of
public
safety.
So,
and
at
this
point
we
will
be
looking
at
those
names
we've
developed,
a
rubrics
will,
which
will
be
used
to
sort
of
evaluate
the
the
different
names.
P
So
we're
really
excited
that
this
is
moving
forward.
Also
done
some
work
around
alternative
response,
evaluations
with
the
call
delineations
and
more.
We
are
again,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
and
highlight
our
website.
This
is
a
great
tool
for
assessment
and
we
use
it
for
transparency
and,
once
again,
I'll
just
reiterate,
it's
use
we're
developing.
We
have
a
collaborative
rubric
tool
that
we
are
developing
for
the
website.
P
P
We
are
working
on
the
on
onboarding
for
the
individual,
making
sure
that
when
they
come,
they
have
the
support
and
the
resources
and
they
are
making
the
right
contacts
in
order
to
you
know,
get
on
the
ground
and
running
right
away,
because
that's
exactly
what
we
will
need
you.
You
may
recall
that
their
roles
and
responsibilities
they
will
be
leaving
the
implementation
of
the
collaborative
plan.
P
P
We
launched
the
plan
on
the
website
and
are
getting
input
from
the
community.
There
was
a
forum
last
night,
actually
a
well
attended
forum
well
conducted
forum.
We
they
talked
about
call
breakdown
mike
steikle
was
there
who's
the
head
of
doer
harmony.
Ayers
was
there
from
the
the
mobile
crisis
center,
our
acting
chief,
john
jolie,
the
sheriff,
and
there
were
numerous
individuals
who
participated.
It
was
very
engaging
in
terms
of
information
and
questions,
so
that
was
last
night
and
that
has
been
recorded.
P
P
P
For
some
reason:
okay,
sorry,
I
I
had
a
little
glitch
here,
so
let
me
just
double
check
this
so
in
in
terms
of
what's
next,
we
are
looking
at
launching
the
traffic
stop
enforcement,
and
by
launching
I
mean
this
will
go
on
to
our
website
district
attorney
assigned
council
officer,
wellness
and
recruitment
and
retention.
We
have
met
with
all
the
internal
stakeholders
for
that
and
we
are
continuing
to
move
forward
in
these
areas.
F
I
just
thought
briefly
just
tell
us
zoom
out
and
pointing
out
that
we
have.
You
know
we're
in
the
phase
where
we
have
broken
out
of
the
subcommittees
and,
as
I
mentioned,
rob
gearhart
is
on
one
of
those
and
by
the
way
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
my
phenomenal
co-lead
karen
yearwood,
who
I
had
not
at
the
very
beginning
of
this,
and
we
could
not
do
this
without
her.
F
So
my
thanks
to
karen
for
agreeing
to
co-lead
with
me
on
this
effort,
so
we
started
off
in
july
with
a
focus
on
delineating
call
type
responsibility.
As
you
see
here,
as
basically
a
committee
of
the
whole,
the
working
group
decided
every
everyone
really
wanted
to
work
on
community
call
type.
So,
rather
than
break
that
out
into
a
subcommittee.
We
focused
on
that
and
it
made
sense
because
that's
the
foundational
work
to
all
of
this
right.
F
It's
part
of
your
charge
create
a
new
department
in
which
there'd
be
a
unit
of
armed
officers
and
unarmed
officers,
unarmed
staff
who
would
respond
to
certain
non-violent
call
types
which
have
to
be
determined
by
this
committee
by
this
working
group
and
which
take
into
account
their
safety.
So
that's
a
very
big.
F
F
So
you
know
we've
more
than
doubled
the
number
of
community
members
who
are
involved
with
this
process
again
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
as
much
input
and
as
much
perspective
as
possible
and
also
again
with
the
help
of
all
of
this,
is
being
informed
with
the
help
of
technical
experts
who
are
being
called
in
as
needed
with
each
of
the
subcommittees
and,
of
course,
and
informed
by
by
data
which
will
lead
me
to
the
next
slide,
which
is
not
this
one.
I
know
this
one.
P
F
I
feel
bad
for
the
computer,
whatever
chance
it
had
just
blew.
It
tonight
sounds
like
you're
sad
on
that,
so
you
know
we.
We
want
to
be
as
evidence
driven
as
possible
right.
We
want
to
have
data,
and
if
we
didn't
have
data,
I'm
sure
I'm
going
to
guess
that
maybe
one
or
more
council
members
would
say
hey.
Do
you
have
any
data?
F
F
F
There
are
trends
that
this
these
findings
are
conveying
that
were
analyzed
over
the
course
of
the
five-year
period
culminating
in
2019
and
and
one
of
those
are
that
there
hasn't
been
a
consistent
increase
in
calls
for
service
over
the
past
five
years,
but
that
the
number
of
officer
initiative
officer,
initiated
activities
that
are
conducted
like
traffic
stops,
has
dropped
significantly.
That's
at
least
based
on
the
data
that
was
given
and
so
in
terms
of
called
version.
F
You
know
conversation
around
that,
and
this
is
just
another
piece
so
again
I'll
emphasize
that
this
will
just
be
a
part
of
the
conversation
and
we
thought
it
important
to
have.
You
know
an
evidence
driven
process,
but
not
you
know
not
one.
That's
going
to
be
dominated
by
any
one
part
of
all
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
in
order
to
do
this,
so
it's
it's
really
a
comprehensive
approach
and
trying
to
do
right
by
your
charge.
F
Q
I
know
I
think
you
did
a
great
job
eric.
The
only
thing
I
would
I
might
clarify,
though
it's
I
think
I
think
you're
really
not
out
of
the
park-
is
that
that
41
that
you
referenced
does
include
the
the
officer
writing
the
reports,
so
vote
number
two
here
in
the
findings,
but
that's
really
minuscule,
so
a
great
job
on
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
Eric.
F
I
appreciate
that,
thank
you,
honest
for
that,
for
that
for
that
correction.
So
that's
that's
it
on
the
ipd
workload
and
analysis
on
that
analysis
and
I
hope
I've
conveyed.
You
know
that,
as
as
you
know
clearly
as
possible,
but
also
say
that,
because
we
know
we
have
limited
time
tonight,
this
wasn't,
this
wasn't
meant
to.
F
B
F
Okay,
rob
you
got
it.
Okay
deb
said
that
she
did
get
it
cynthia.
I
don't
know
what
happened
there,
but
I
can.
I
can
really
send
it
to
you
sorry
about
that.
I,
but
it
was
my
intent
to
send
it
to
you
all,
and
I
also
like
to
add
that
I
copied
acting
chief
john
jolie,
who
had
seen
that
presentation
actually
even
before
the
working
group
did
and
copied
him
on
it.
F
C
B
I
Yeah
thanks
devonte,
I
just
just
for
council's
information
and
and
I'm
not
making
a
position
on
this
one
way
or
the
other,
but
the
matrix
study
and
their
data
was
strongly
questioned
by
the
members
of
ipd
who
were
on
the
on
the
task
force.
They.
They
really
didn't,
think
those
that
data
was
accurate.
F
I
just
wanted
to
say
no
george
george
is
right
and
I
said
in
what
I
wrote
to
all
of
you.
This
happened
with
the
slides
and
all
that
and
tried
to
convey,
because
I
try
to
also
kind
of
respect
the
the
confidentiality
that
the
working
group
has
been
working
under
in
terms
of
you
know,
current
debate
and
that
kind
of
thing,
but
I
wanted
to
stay
there
there.
F
You
know
within
the
working
group
as
well
as
I'm
sure,
within
the
community
and
elsewhere,
and
and
that's
why
it's
a
part
of
it
and
as
a
part
of
our
process,
you
know
we'll
have
to
reconcile
those
right
and-
and
so
that's
part
of
it
and
that's
why
it's
a
conversation,
but
it's
important
to
have
data
right
to
start
from
and
then
see
what
it's
saying
and
then
you
go
from
there
and
I
think
that's
the
best
we
can
do.
But
george,
you
know
thank
you
for
lifting
that.
F
I
Q
And
eric,
if
I,
if
I
could,
because
I
think
george
is
right
there,
there's
a
lot
of
the
bruce
department
represented
saying
that
they
they
don't
agree
with
the
findings.
One
of
the
one
of
the
disagreements,
I
think
there
were
few
was
the
way
they
received
the
idea
of
discretionary
time.
We
would
say
the
the
presenters
would
say
discretionary
time
and
what
we
said
back
is
free
time,
and
I
just
want
to
kind
of
clarify
that
this
question
every
time
isn't
free
time.
Q
It
isn't
legs
up
on
the
dashboard
reading
the
paper
it's
just
really
times
that
they're
not
called
for
service
and
the
recognition
is
that
police
officers
are
proactively
doing
things
and
so
well.
I
agree
with
george
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
folks
didn't
agree
on
one
of
the
things
that
I
felt
like
just
required
a
lot
more
clarifications
that
no
one
was
accusing
the
officers
or
not
doing
anything
during
that
discretionary
time,
and
that
in,
in
my
view,
was
for
some
people
the
way
it
was
being
received.
B
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
being
with
us.
Thanks
to
our
council
members
who
continue
to
serve
as
liaisons
to
reimagining.
We
know
it's
been
a
long
road
in
the
next
couple
months.
It's
gonna
feel
like
fast
forward,
because
we're
approaching
the
finish
line
here
so,
if
you're
not
tuned
in
now,
is
the
time
to
tune
in
and
and
participate.
B
D
M
R
R
Yep,
great
okay,
so
I'm
sure,
since
so
many
of
you
have
been
I've
been
on
council
for
so
long.
Congratulations
to
all
of
you,
and
that
was
a
very
nice
accommodation.
You,
you
know
the
history
that
this
was
founded
by
susan
blumenthal
when
she
was
on
the
city
planning
board
and
thought
that
owners
and
developers
of
property
who
went
the
extra
mile
should
receive
recognition.
R
She
approached
the
president
of
rotary
at
the
time,
don
comp,
and
so
the
awards
were
born.
So
with
that
introduction
we
have
six
awardees
this
year
and
I'd
like
to
start
with
the
first
one-
and
this
is
oh
well
sorry,
first
process,
we
solicit
recommendations
from
the
public
from
rotary
and,
of
course,
from
our
committee.
Everything
has
to
be
within
the
boundaries
of
the
city
of
ithaca
and
has
to
be
accessible
and
visible
from
the
public
road.
R
Of
course,
all
of
the
country,
all
of
the
projects
contribute
to
the
betterment
of
the
community
and
we've
recognized
a
wide
variety
of
projects
over
the
years,
including
art
installations
and
murals,
even
gate
at
cascadilla
creek.
So
it's
been
a
really
diverse
group
of
presentations
over
the
years.
Since
I've
been
over
the
years
since
I've
been
involved,
so
our
first
awardee
is
zach
boggs
and
isabelle
fernandez.
R
This
is
the
cliff
house.
The
unique
architectural
experience
of
this
900
square
foot
structure
named
cliff
house
is
inspired
by
a
tree
house
and
in
context
perched
on
trees
and
birds.
Above
the
children's
garden
and
the
black
diamond
trail.
It
has
been
called
the
treehouse,
the
bird
house,
the
spaceship
or
the
teeter-totter,
the
home
purchased
a
purchase
above
250
foot,
long,
steel
I-beams,
allowing
for
a
small
foundation
and
250
foot
long
steel
I-beams,
allowing
for
sorry
that
create
the
illusion
of
a
floating
structure,
which
is
quite
an
engineering
feed
it
cantilevers
over
the.
R
The
puzzle-like
interior
includes
an
interconnected,
plywood,
stair
and
office
cabinet
and
bedrooms
that
are
partially
stacked
together,
including
small
footprints,
with
sleeping
lofts.
The
owners
liken
this
to
living
on
a
boat.
The
integration
of
environmental,
technological
and
recreational
features
was
of
utmost
importance
to
the
owners.
The
features
include:
a
low
carbon
footprint,
locally
milled
materials,
solar
panel
infrastructure,
a
high
efficiency,
wood,
burning,
stove
and
many
other
features.
R
O
S
S
They
love
their
home,
which
features
view
of
the
inlet
and
cass
park.
They
gave
it
a
new
color
scheme
in
2013.
That's
what
you
can
see
here:
the
red
beige
and
brown,
but
the
property
had
some
drawbacks.
The
driveway
for
their
very
small
garage
was
very
steep
and
the
property
next
door
at
509
cliff
street
was
not
only
very
close,
but
in
very
bad
condition.
And
that's
what
you
see
here
in
2015.
S
S
At
the
same
time,
demolished
the
garage
attached
to
their
own
house
and
immediately
began
designing
what
would
take
its
place
over
the
next
few
years.
They
built
a
detached
double
garage
with
a
luxury
one-bedroom
apartment
upstairs
and
approximately
the
same
footprint
as
the
former
house.
Additionally,
a
new
huge
retaining
wall
separated
the
garage
mahal
as
they
call
it
from
the
house
and
supported
a
more
forgiving
level.

place
of
the
old

After
a
quick
photo
shoot
with
the
subject,
harmony

spent
four
days
using
spray
paints
to
complete
the
project
she
intentionally
allowed.
The
concrete
background
to
remain,
as
is,
to
keep
his
harmony
naturally
in
the
space
and
environment
throughout
the
process.
Community
members
of
all
ages
shared
their
support
for
the
choice
of
malone
and
johnson
noted
quote:
I
am
certain
of
the
light
she
brings
and
positive
impact.
She
has
on
the
community
of
ithaca
through
this
collaboration
and
of
visiting
local
visiting
and
local
artists
and
venerated
local
institutions.
S
Yes,
when
christopher
and
laura
batten
purchased
a
house
on
ridgedale
road
in
2018,
they
were
sure
they
had
found
their
forever
home
they'd
been
living
in
bell
sherman
for
nine
years,
wanted
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood.
Their
new
home
had
been
enlarged
by
the
previous
owners,
and
it
was
on
a
double
lot
close
to
the
elementary
school.
But
the
house
was
not
exactly
what
they'd
been
looking
for.
S
Look
so
planning
began
in
january
of
2020,
and
you
know
what
happened
next,
despite
the
shutdown
communication
difficulties
and
the
sudden
challenges
of
working
and
schooling,
two
children
from
home
chris
and
laura
were
able
to
work
with
staff
at
stream
collaborative
to
design
their
project
and
work.
The
end
in
earnest
in
late
summer,
2020
with
bob
stoir,
the
builder
contractor,
the
tiny
colonial
revival
covered
stoop
on
the
original
house
was
removed
and
replaced
with
an
expansive
covered
porch
with
composite
steps
and
porch
floor
tongue
and
groove
ceiling
and
tapered
wooden
columns.
S
The
original
house
and
1990s
edition
sported,
a
mixture
of
aluminum
and
vinyl
cladding
shutters,
were
removed
and
the
front
section
floor
dormers
were
resided
with
cedar
shakes,
careful
color
selection
and
painting
by
ernst
company
of
portland
unified
the
disparate
parts
of
the
exterior
and
broad
freezes
in
benjamin
benjamin
moore,
green,
mount
silk
reinforced
the
craftsman.
Look.
S
The
garage
is
indeed
a
handsome
building
with
cedar
shakes
above
clabberts
on
all
sides
and
a
beautiful
blue
stone,
retaining
wall
and
overhead
doors.
Faced
with
wood
to
look
like
traditional
hinged
doors,
the
path
of
blue
stone
pavers
connects
the
garage,
porch
deck
and
backyard
landscaping
and
hardscaping
whereby
cuba,
landscape,
richdale
road,
is
a
steep
street
and
the
batons
did
not
want
to
cause
water
issues
for
their
downhill
neighbors
on
ridgedale
or
valley,
road
part
of
the
site.
S
Preparation
involved,
building
a
drainage
system
that
collected
water
from
the
house's
roofs
and
gutters
and
directed
it
to
the
municipal
storm
sewer,
which
they
discovered
stopped.
Their
house
pipes
were
dug
down
into
the
street
to
connect
the
city
system
into
the
city
system
and
the
great
in
the
driveway
collects
runoff.
All
excavation
was
done
by
sdm
landscaping.
S
Upon
reflection,
chris
and
laura
have
decided
that
home
improvements
in
the
time
of
covid
were
not
such
a
bad
thing.
They
were
home
all
the
time
and
could
see
the
work
unfold
steadily,
rather
than
just
at
the
end
of
the
day,
allowing
them
to
communicate
easily
with
a
work
crews.
Furthermore,
they
provided
hours
of
entertainment
for
their
neighbors,
who
were
also
home
all
the
time,
including
two
young
boys
who
regularly
settled
across
the
street
in
camp
chairs
and
with
a
good
supply
of
snacks,
to
watch
the
progress
of
the
construction.

Kallastown
house
replaces
three
boarding
houses
that
were
commonly
owned
since
1960s
the
team
of
icon
five
architects,
trobbage,
wolf
and
michael's
landscape.
Architects
worked
closely
with
the
city
of
ithaca
planning
department
to
arrive
at
a
zoning
compliance
standard
lot
coverage
and
a
45
building
height
requirement.
Icon

worked
to
make
the
design
meaningful
to
a
broader
audience.
In
the
city
of
ithaca,
the
pride
ownership
committee
commenced
the
design
for
advancing
the
street
facades
that
contribute
an
architecture
of
modern
material
layers.
T
T
The
architects
indicated
that
the
designers
were
allowed
to
choose
and
detail
fiber
cement
panel
systems
commonly
known
as
rain
screen.
The
ceramic
tile
cladding
suggests
a
history
of
spanning
a
history
spanning
19th
to
21st
centuries.
This
involves
placing
panels
on
rails
that
allow
for
inner
airspace
to
temper
weathering
building.
All
sides
with
type
of
system
is
expensive,
with
this
type
of
system
is
expensive,
but
tends
to
enhance
the
durability.
T
This
modern
construction
approach,
along
with
geometries
and
play
fullness,
is
commendable.
Fritted
striped,
colored
glass
projections
are
made
to
curve
to
form
light
bay
windows.
The
plan
indicates
public
street
entrances
and
then
become
a
private
series.
After
crossing
the
building's
facade,
fresh
solutions,
such
as
concrete
walls
with
vines,
become
part
of
the
natural
environment
that
is
so
often
ignored.
T
We
are
relatively
unaware
of
mechanical
systems,
and
I
won't
bore
you
with
this,
but,
needless
to
say,
we
are
not
seeing
them
and
that's
a
good
thing.
However,
it
is
very
much
an
air
temperature
system
inside
then
cummings
at
icon.
5
also
explain
that
careful
design
addresses
faculty
students
in
college
to
and
and
college
town.
That
is
to
be
expected.
T
The
entries
lead
to
interior
lobbies
to
allow
access
to
deeper
units
within
there
are
horizontal
vertical
walkways
in
in
intended
discrete
unit
entries
are
in
this
way
possible
without
having
one
or
two
shared
corridor
access,
as
done
elsewhere
at
college
avenue.
Further,
a
large
courtyard
is
used
to
bring
natural
light,
as
we've
mentioned,
other
contiguous
property
landlords
are
in
favor
of
the
design
contribution
to
this
area.
T
In
conversation
with
the
architect,
it
appears
that
zoning
did
not
restrict
design
but
made
the
rules
clearer.
The
design
responds
to
planning
concerns
in
its
appropriateness
in
density
and
other,
shall
we
say,
creative
ways
of
seeing
that
density
break
down
into
multiple
units.
Arvind
deku,
I
believe
that's
how
he
pronounces
it.
So
forgive
me
said
that
the
building
is
meant
to
be
as
casual
an
environment
as
a
building
can
be
entry.
Railings
help
to
make
sunlight
come
through
the
shapes
in
semi-transparent
patterns.
They
do
not
obstruct
the
sunken
basement
spaces.
T
O
So
this
is
the
ithaca
art
house,
facino
group,
rising
above
the
transforming
industrial
area
of
cherry
street.
The
ithaca
art
house
is
an
affordable
and
supportive
housing
building
that
provides
art
amenities
for
residents,
earning
50
to
80
percent
of
the
area,
medium
income,
this
100
000
square
foot,
development
in
the
newly
zoned
waterfront
district
features,
124
studios,
one
bedroom
and
two
bedroom
residential
units.
O
The
project
includes
studio
and
gallery
space
for
residents,
as
well
as
an
office
for
the
cherry
art
staff
who
will
help
manage
the
arts
activities
within
the
building
showcase,
the
art
produced
by
building
residents
and
bringing
artists
and
their
work
from
the
wider
community.
If
you
haven't
seen
it,
you
should
go
down
to
the
office.
It's
marvelous
in
a
partnership
with
tompkins
community
action,
the
project
reserves,
40
units
of
set-aside,
housing
office,
space
and
staff
to
provide
permanent
supportive
housing
services
for
transition;
age,
youth,
that's
18
to
24
that
are
formerly
homeless.
R
B
A
U
Thank
you,
hi
everyone.
Just
first
of
all,
you
know
I
do
want
to
thank
everyone
for
your
service.
You
all.
I
know
it's
a
lot,
you're
not
being
paid
much
for
this
and
you
spend
a
lot
of
time
going
to
this
issue.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
and
I
wish
the
best
to
those
moving
on.
Secondly,
about
what
the
mayor
mentioned.
Taking
that
resolution
off,
I
love
this
seasonal
worship
eatery.
U
U
Mainly
I
want
to
speak
on,
is
something
I've
been
speaking
to
you
all
about
for
a
while,
but
I'm
very
pleased
to
see.
I
just
have
a
look
at
the
agenda
and
see
this
resolution
on
tonight's
agenda
to
remove
those
editions
of
minimum
wireless
data,
speed,
transfer
requirements
from
our
recently
updated
code.
You
know
I
I
believe
there
was
really
good
intention
behind
the
desire
to
add
this
minimum
wireless
data
speed
requirement.
It
seems
like
it
makes
sense,
but,
however,
I
think
in
practice
it
just
sets
us
up
us
the
city
for
for
failure.
U
We
already
have
sufficient
wireless
data
speeds
within
ithaca,
which
I
utilize,
and
I
you
know
thankful
for
that,
but
because
the
speeds
vary
so
much
by
time
of
day
device
carrier
and
even
the
same
device,
a
telecom
applicant
can
simply
submit
cherry
picked
and
or
false
records
of
insufficient
speeds
as
their
proof
of
gap
in
coverage,
in
order
to
install
as
many
wireless
transmitters
as
they
can
and
wherever
they
want,
if
they
can
prove
this
gap
in
coverage.
This
way.
U
U
It
and
it'll
just
only
bring
us
back
to
where
we're
before
and
removing
it
just
strengthens
our
code.
So
I
hope
each
of
you
will
move
forward
in
past
member
resolution
5.1
of
tonight's
agenda
to
protect
our
codes
as
they
were
initially
intended.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
have
a
good
evening.
V
Thank
you
as
this,
as
this
is
the
final
meeting
of
the
common
council
with
its
current
makeup,
I
felt
compelled
to
address
you.
While
I
have
the
utmost
respect
for
you
as
individuals.
The
common
council,
with
the
exception
of
mr
mailer,
have
completely
failed.
Not
only
your
constituents,
but
everyone
who
lives,
works,
travels
or
does
business
in
ithaca.
V
The
reimagining
public
safety
process,
approved
unanimously
by
this
body,
has
accomplished
nothing
but
to
alienate
law
enforcement
recruitment
efforts
and
render
the
ithaca
police
department
into
a
pool
from
which
other
law
enforcement
agencies
can
recruit.
The
shootings,
stabbings,
burglaries
and
now
methamphetamine
distribution
are
not
being
conducted
by
quote
knuckleheads
and
quote
two
groups
known
to
each
other.
As
the
mayor
put
it,
the
people
responsible
are
gang
members
and
drug
dealers.
V
V
V
B
E
B

H

C
C
Just
reiterate
to
everybody
watching
that
thanks
joy
for
pushing
this
for
many
years,
glad
we
can
make
it
happen
this
year
and
I
did
get
buy-in
from
constituents
about
this
too.
They
they
think
that
we
deserve
a
living
wage
as
well,
even
though
it's
their
tax
dollars,
which
I
think
says
a
lot
about
about
this
and
our
work.
So
thank
you.
B
B
C
C
M
L
A
G
G
Our
21
budget
was
estimated
at
thirteen
million
eight
hundred
and
forty
three
thousand
dollars
so
far
we
are
exceeding
the
budget
and
sales
tax
recovery
seems
to
be
moving
faster
than
certainly
I
anticipated.
So
that's
definitely
good
news.
We
just
need
to
remain
cautious
in
this
area,
but
certainly
happy
with
the
current
increasing
trend
for
sure.
G
However,
we
still
continue
to
have
concerns
related
to
unemployment,
supply
demand
and,
of
course,
other
covet
variants
and
and
inflationary
factors.
All
of
those
things
are
now
playing
a
very
large
part
in
our
local
state
and
national
economy.
These
factors
will
continue
to
make
it
challenging
for
to
forecast
for
the
near
future.
G
We
did
budget
what
we
believe
to
be
a
conservative
number
for
sales
tax
in
2022.
That
number
was
14
million,
nine
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
Time
will
tell
if
that
number
is
a
good
number
for
comparison.
In
2019
we
collected
fifteen
million
four
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollars,
and
that
was
our
highest
collection
ever
so
that
was
in
2019,
and
it
is
possible
with
a
good
holiday
season.
G
We
could
come
close
to
that
2019
number
in
2021,
so
obviously
good
news
on
the
sales
tax
front
for
sure
on
parking
revenues.
Although
we
continue
to
see
slow
improvements
in
parking
revenues,
we
are
still
well
off
budget.
To
date,
approximately
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
have
collected
a
million
five
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
in
parking
revenue
to
date.
Lots
of
construction
in
and
around
the
downtown
area
and
also
covet
issues
may
be
impacting
our
revenues
in
this
area.
G
The
parking
garage
part
of
that
project
to
be
online
some
somewhere
like
mid
2022,
and
we
did
anticipate
in
our
2021
activity
the
loss
of
the
garage
revenue
from
green
street
in
building
permit
revenues.
We
increased
significantly
the
2021
budget
to
reflect
the
higher
construction
activity
anticipated
inside
the
city.
G
We
have
collected
a
million
six
hundred
and
thirty
two
thousand
dollars
in
permanent
revenue.
To
date,
our
budget
was
estimated
at
two
million
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
so
items
out
of
our
control,
such
as
reduced
project
costs
for
certain
projects
and
project
delays
are
impacting
some
of
our
collections
in
this
area.
G
As
far
as
fine
revenues,
we
budgeted
780
000
in
2021
for
anticipated
revenues
for
fines.
To
date
we
have
collected
530
000.
We
anticipate
this
budget
to
be
under
budget
as
we
move
forward
again.
Many
areas
are
difficult
to
budget
in
a
normal
environment,
but
this
revenue
source
is
more
difficult
than
most
to
budget
and
many
factors
play
into
those
collections
and,
of
course,
we're
looking
for
compliance
in
this
area
too.
So
it's
it's
a
it's
a
difficult
revenue
source
to
project.
G
G
G
Our
november
cpi
will
come
in
at
the
end
of
next
week,
so
we'll
see
how
that
data
comes
in,
but
to
date,
cpi
is
running
at
4.3
percent
for
the
year.
So
on
one
hand,
this
is
good
for
our
cornell
mou
payments,
but
mostly
it
means
higher
operating
costs
for
city
operations
and
also
higher
costs
for
the
consumers.
G
G
G
We
will
be
looking
at
that
amount,
as
we
may
want
to
place
that
money
in
a
reserve
to
help
offset
any
future
conference
center
cost
issues
that
may
arise
we'll
be
looking
at
that
possibility
over
the
next
month
and
if
we
believe
we
should
put
some
of
that
those
funds
into
reserve.
We
will
bring
that
back
to
council
for
for
an
approval
to
go
in
that
direction.
G
The
payment
is,
is
due
february
of
2022,
but
we
can
pay
early
on
12
15
of
this
year.
So
that's
in
a
couple
weeks,
if
we
do
that,
we
do
receive
a
discount,
so
we
certainly
pay
early
if
at
all
possible
cash
flow
dictates
that
if
we
can
make
that
payment,
we
do
look
like
we
will
be
making
the
payment
early
again
this
year.
So
our
total
pension
bill
for
2021
will
be
5
million,
269
000
and
that
number
compares
to
our
hundred
4.
G
Seventy
four
thousand
dollar
payment
in
2020
and
just
the
breakdown
of
that
520
to
the
5.
5
million
269
thousand
dollar
payment
will
be
for
police
and
fire
retirement
is
two
million
nine
hundred
and
sixty
two
thousand
dollars
and
for
our
regular
employee
retirement.
That
breaks
allocates
to
two
million
three
hundred
and
six
thousand
dollars.
So
the
good
news
here
is
that
that
will
come
in
under
budget
for
21.
So
again
that
will
help
us
navigate
the
activity.
G
K
G
G
In
addition,
we'll
also
see
some
some
funds
coming
in
for
some
fema
funding
that
will
help
us
for
some
21
expenses
that
we
had
related
to
covid.
It's
not
a
huge
number,
but
it's
probably
roughly
in
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
range
for
21.
and,
of
course,
we're
we're.
Looking
at
the
infrastructure
activity,
you
know
the
the
funds
through
the
infrastructure
bill
that
was
approved
and
see
how
those
might
impact
us
in
the
future.
G
B
D
D
I
did
want
to
note
that
we
had
talked
about
having
a
committee
of
the
whole.
I
think
we
are
just
going
to
post
it
as
the
regular
pedc
meeting,
but
other
members
of
the
of
council
are
more
than
welcome
to
join,
and
particularly,
if
folks
are
going
to
be
here
next
year,
you
might
want
to
join
just
to
discuss
the
good
cause
legislation,
because
I
imagine
that
might
be
taken
up
by
a
future
council.
B
We
should
consult
the
history
books
julie
when,
when
we
get
a
free
minute,
if
that
ever
happens,
to
see
the
longest
serving
chairs
of
standing
committees,
because
the
city,
administration
and
planning
and
economic
development
chairs
have
seen
us
through,
it's
been
at
least
eight
years,
but
it's
been
a
long
eight
years
and
the
the
number
of
challenges
I
mean
two
global
recessions,
one
pandemic
all
sorts
of
technological
and
democratic
upheaval
and
you've
steered
the
legislation
at
the
city.
More
than
capably
you
both
have
steered
it.
B
B
I
don't
think
I
have
a
conflict
anymore,
but
you
know
what,
in
order
to
continue
avoiding
the
appearance
of
a
conflict
and
unsettling
the
waters.
At
this
point,
I
will
recuse
because
I
have
a
family
member
that
was
a
formerly
a
an
employee
of
of
verizon.
So
I
had
recused
myself
from
all
these
discussions
and
I'll
continue
to
do
so.
Just
for
continuity,
sync!
B
H
I
I
H
I
I
H
K
K
The
funding
applications
for
the
hud
entitlement
grant
program
is
january,
28th
and
that
two
is
about
a
month
earlier.
So
some
of
the
dates
in
the
process
are
earlier
in
2022
than
they
were
in
2021.
However,
the
final
presentation
of
public
hearing
number
two
will
be
at
planning
and
economic
development
committee.
K
K
This
will
be
for
city
residents,
very
specifically
city
residents,
who
are
caregivers,
caregivers
of
young
children
of
elderly
persons
or
disabled
persons,
in
planning
this
with
the
mayor's
for
guaranteed
income
program,
and
there
are
a
number
of
cities
across
the
country
that
have
guaranteed
income
programs,
we're
fortunate
to
receive
funding
for
our
program.
So
the
funding
for
this
program
is
from
mayors
for
guaranteed
income.
There
is
not
an
impact
to
city
taxpayers
other
than
a
very
positive
impact.
K
K
Information
can
be
obtained
on
the
human
services
coalition
website,
but
this
is
a
very
exciting
program.
It's
been
something
that
has
been
worked
on
for
quite
some
time
with
partners
in
the
city
and
I'm
just
so
pleased
that
this
is
moving
forward,
because
it
will
really
help
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
community
members.
I
don't
know
svante
if
you
want
to
add
any
further
enthusiasm
for
this
program.
B
Yes,
I
was
I'm
and
I'm
as
enthused
about
it
now,
as
I
was
12
hours
ago,
when
we
launched
the
the
homeless
housing
task
force.
Laura
just
said
it
perfectly.
She
in
the
the
barger
anissa
nelstabone
and
the
iura
done
an
incredible
job
crafting
this
program
and
bringing
in
the
funds
that
are
gonna
make
it
possible
to
to
not
only
change
the
lives
of
this
test
group.
The
athletes
that
receive
the
direct
cash
benefit
every
month
for
12
months,
but
adding
to
the
amount
of
evidence.
B
The
growing
amount
of
evidence
that
this
is
a
form
of
benefit
that
should
be
replicated
nationwide,
that
the
federal
government
should
pick
up
this
form
of
direct
cash
transfers,
and
if
it
does,
it
will
not
only
cut
down
on
poverty
and
reduce
the
the
traumatic
effects
of
poverty.
But
it
helps
people
go
back
to
school.
Stay
in
school
helps
people
get
better
jobs
do
better
at
their
jobs.
B
The
evidence
is
mounting
and
I
think
the
study
that
the
u-pen
researchers
will
be
doing
while
we
administer
the
it
can
guaranteed
income
program,
will
demonstrate
that
that
it
works.
So
yes,
as
laura
said,
keep
an
eye
on
when
that
application
goes,
live
and
forward
to
anybody.
You
think,
might
be
interested
in
participating.
K
And
it
will
be
important
to
share
this
information
widely
because
I
will
say
the
application
window
will
be
a
about
one
week-
seven
perhaps
ten
days,
but
it's
a
very
narrow
window
for
application.
So
we're
really
trying
to
get
as
much
information
out
this
morning
was
the
first
public
launch.
I
wanted
all
of
you
to
know
about
it
and
the
information
is
available
on
the
human
services
website.
K
Well,
we
wanted
this
program
to
serve
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
the
community
and
we
were
not
able
to
serve
those
at
a
higher
income
because
we
want
to
capture
there's
not
a
specific
racial
equity
lens.
On
this
program,
however,
we
know
that
those
who
are
caregivers,
who
fall
within
this
income
range
may
very
well
be
single
moms,
seniors,
single
moms
women
of
color,
so
that
income
range
was
was
determined
as
being
where
we
could
have
the
greatest
impact.
B
B
Snap
snap
grocery
support
things
like
that.
This
additional
income
could
push
them
over
the
threshold,
but
what
we're
thinking
and,
of
course
this
is
a
pilot,
so
we're
going
to
find
out
if
we're
right
is
that
there's
you
know
if
you
are
at
80
percent
of
ami
and
you're
living
in
the
city
of
ithaca,
you're
struggling
and
if
you
are
living
it
80
of
ami
in
the
city
of
ithaca
and
taking
care
of
somebody
child,
a
parent
person
with
a
disability,
you're
struggling
mightily
and
may
not
qualify
for
other
of
those
mainstream
benefits.
B
E
B
N
N
N
That
this
is
is
out
of
reach
for
most
of
them
because
of
the
difficulties
that
individuals
would
face
if
they
lost
their
ssi
or
snap
or
you
know,
having
forbid
their.
You
know
housing,
vouchers
and
so
on.
So
I
I'm.
I
applaud
this
effort
and
I'm
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
see
how
this
turns
out
at
the
end
of
the
program
and
the
results
that
come
from
it,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
cevante
and
laura
for
bringing
this
together.
D
B
B
Those
folks
are
extraordinarily
vulnerable
that
they're
not
traditionally
caught
up
in
in
the
benefit
scheme-
and
you
know
I
know
folks
who
are
if
you're,
making
39
000
a
year
and
you've
got
a
child
or
two
every
day
is-
is
terrifying.
Your
dick
is
very
scary.
Making
the
rent
dealing
with
transportation
costs
utility
costs
grocery
costs,
so
I
do
think
it
was.
You
know
it
was
a
matter
of
art
where
the
working
group
put
that
number,
but
I
think
it
was
pretty
well
placed.
B
A
Okay,
so
I
will
pause
the
recording
and
end
the
live
stream,
and
I
would
because
we
still
have
people
in
our
waiting
room
or
attendees
in
here.
I
would
direct
you
to
your
email
that
you
should
have
received
from
me
on
monday,
I
believe,
with
the
link
to
the
executive
session
meeting,
so
we're
going
to
jump
back
and
forth
so
email
or
text
me.
If
you
have
problems
with
this.
