From YouTube: September 1, 2021 Common Council Meeting
Description
The Reimagining Public Safety Collaborative provides Common Council with a progress update.
B
B
I'll
say
before
we
get
started
that
we
appreciate
that
julie,
especially
worked
so
hard
to
learn
all
these
new
rules
and
I'm
sure
you'll,
be
relieved
to
know
that
next
month's
meeting
will
probably
be
completely
different
again,
as
the
governor
is
asked
for
an
extraordinary
session
of
the
legislature,
which
started
today
to
do,
amongst
other
things,
change
the
open
meetings
law
to
allow
for
virtual
participation,
yeah,
which,
which
you
know
we've
been.
I
know
many
of
us
have
been
lobbying,
for
it's
really
hindered
a
lot
of
our
boards
and
committees.
B
A
lot
of
folks
who
have
served
for
many
many
years,
don't
feel
comfortable
coming
back
in
person,
and
we
still
want
their
talents
and
their
contributions
to
this
work.
So
really
good
news
for
the
functioning
of
the
city,
really
bad
news
for
julie,
which
we'll
have
to
figure
out
all
over
again
how
to
make
these
city
meetings
work
in
a
hybrid
format.
B
I
want
to
appreciate
to
everybody
who
is
here
continuing
to
wear
your
masks
throughout
the
duration
of
the
meeting,
for
the
folks
who
might
be
watching
at
home
may
not
see
the
social
distancing,
that's
happening
in
the
in
the
crowd.
We
appreciate
that
and
pulling
that
off
requires
quite
a
bit
of
a
forethought
evacuation
plan.
For
those
who
are
here
does
it
exit
in
the
back
exit
also
in
the
front
in
case
of
an
emergency,
we
do
ask
folks
to
huddle.
Oh,
it's
actually
interesting
used
to
be
the
green
street.
B
Parking
garage
does
not
exist
anymore
as
of
like
two
days
ago,
so
we'll
meet
at
cuba
street
we'll
meet
at
green
and
cuca
in
case
of
an
evacuation
just
head
out.
One
of
those.
B
An
emergency
of
a
different
sort,
I
think
that's
all
the
housekeeping
I've
got.
B
Yes
they're
they're
good
about
that
I'll
check
for
texts
for
my
mom.
Is
there
a
we'll
call
me
to
order
any
changes
to
the
agenda?
I
appreciate
council's
patience
with
some
last-minute
editions.
Yes,.
C
The
only
thing
we
wanted
to
clarify
a
vote
we
took
on
the
the
north
side,
housing
that
was
last
month.
There
was
a
slight
change,
that's
needed,
I
think,
julie,
emailed
everybody
to
correct
resolution.
So
I
I
guess,
we'll
address
that
during
the
planning
committee
meeting
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
comfortable
moving
forward
with
this
amended
resolution.
C
B
Thank
you,
yeah,
we'll
add
that
under
under
planning
right
side,
all
right,
then
we'll
begin.
We
actually
have
a
couple
of
presentations.
We've
got
three
presentations
today,
and
so
we
want
to
move
to
those,
but
first
have
an
award
that
I'd
like
to
give
out.
A
B
So
so
important
and
was
really
a
grounding
force
for
those
of
us
who
had
to
make
decisions
about
it,
but
it
also
just
I
found
made
living
in
the
city
more
enjoyable
and
I
still
to
this
day
will
will
bore
guests
because
I'm
like
that's
a
william
henry
miller,
house
and
they're
like
we
don't
know
who
that
is
like
you
should
and
I'll
show
you
three
other
examples
of
it
in
it
and
it
well
for
all
those
reasons
and
more,
I
would
like
to
as
mayor
proclaim
and
offer
our
gratitude
and
thanks
to
the
retiring
city
historian,
mary
tomlin,
and
an
urge
all
in
our
community
to
thank
and
celebrate
mary's
numerous
contributions
to
the
city
of
ithaca
that
has
touched
so
many
lives
in
such
a
profound
way.
A
D
D
D
D
B
In
mary's
trademark,
humility,
of
course,
dom
plays
her
many
contributions,
including
what
was
a
fascinating
and
extremely
useful
report
to
the
reimagining
public
safety
group
about
the
history
of
policing
in
ithaca.
Thank
you,
mary,
and
thank
you
for
working
right
up
to
the
wire
you
kept
going.
B
Next,
we
do
have
a
couple
special
presentations.
Speaking
of
reimagining,
our
director
of
human
resources,
shelly
michelle
nunn
who's,
one
of
the
liaisons
to
the
reimagining
public
safety
task
force,
he's
going
to
provide
a
brief
update.
F
G
Julie,
let
me
know
when
we're
ready-
oh
great,
all,
right
good
evening,
everyone
for
those
who
may
not
know
me.
I
am
shelley
michelle
nunn.
As
the
mayor
said,
director
of
human
resources
for
the
city
of
ithaca.
I
also
serve
on
the
project
management
team
for
the
reimagining
public
safety,
which
is
why
I
am
here
tonight
with
you.
E
G
So
it's
important
that
we
keep
in
the
forefront
of
our
minds
what
the
executive
order
has
basically
asked
us
to
do
the
it's
clear
in
the
order
that
this
work
is
being
done
to
address
racial
bias
and
disproportionate
policing
of
communities
of
color,
and
that
must
be
centered
in
terms
of
this
process
that
those
voices,
the
voices
of
the
community
of
color,
must
be
centered
and
they
have
to
be
engaged
and,
in
some
cases,
leading
this
process
also
in
terms
of
our
charge.
G
Council,
you
all
know
you
and
the
legislative
bodies
passed
the
resolution
giving
us
direction
in
terms
of
what
we
needed
to
do,
the
all
the
work
that
we're
doing
is
inclusive
when
we
we're
working
collaboratively
the
city,
the
the
town
and
our
outside
consultants,
we've
also
been
asked
to
create
and
implement
a
community
justice
center.
G
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
collaboration.
This
is
truly
a
collaborative
a
collaboration
and
it
involves
many
many
players.
First,
I
want
to
acknowledge
my
colleagues
deanna
carrillos
and
dominic
recchio,
who
have
been
with
this
initiative
since
the
first
phase.
G
They
each
have
intimate
knowledge
of
the
plans
and
the
process,
and
they
are
truly
the
engine
of
this
plane
that
we
are
flying
while
we
are
building
it.
This
is
a
saying
that
the
mayor
always
says,
and
it
really
feels
like
that,
we're
in
the
plane
we're
flying,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
we're
building
it
also
joining
our
team.
This
phase
has
been
melody
faraday
from
public
information
office
and
she
is
adding
extreme
value.
G
Her
focus
is
on
communications
around
specifically
geared
toward
the
city
and
the
city
initiatives
and
last
just
to
acknowledge
the
center
for
policing,
equity.
G
G
They
offer
data
statistics
and
just
many
tools
that
enable
us
and
help
us
with
our
efforts,
specifically
around
community
engagement
and
and
those
strategies.
G
So
for
tonight
we
just
want
to
touch
on
these
four
areas
and
I'll
talk
specifically
about
three
of
them
later,
but
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
in
on
this
slide,
the
city
of
if
the
working
group
which
has
convened-
and
you
had
a
presentation
by
ducks
and
not
too
long
ago,
to
give
you
an
update
there,
I'm
not
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
this.
But
I
did
want
you
to
know
that
the
working
group
has
been.
G
They
are
now
in
the
process
where
they're
looking
at
they're
doing
call
delineation
and
looking
at
the
different
call
tights
that
police
are
called
out
on
and
last
week
they
worked
with
more
than
60
call
types
that
they
did
sort
of,
what
we're
calling
a
gut
check
and
they
sort
of
placed
them
in
different
categories,
and
now
we
will
be
bringing
in
our
technical
advisors
to
meet
with
them
and
to
react
to
where,
where
some
of
the
places
that
they
put,
these
call
types
are,
and
also
to
provide
information.
G
So
let
me
just
move
through
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
community
justice
center.
What
happened
hang
in
there
yeah
here
we
go
so
the
community
justice
center.
This
is
the
entity
that
is
responsible
for
the
implementation
of
the
plans
and,
right
now
we
have
a
search
going
on
where
we
are
in
the
process
of
recruiting
and
looking
to
hire
the
project
director,
as
well
as
the
data
analysts.
G
G
The
community
justice
center
now
will
be
staffed
with
the
project
director
on
a
project
analyst,
but
we
feel
very
strongly
that,
because
of
the
amount
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done,
that
these
individuals
will
need
to
be
supported
by
administrative
support,
so
I'm
just
giving
you
a
heads
up
about
that.
It's
it's
it's!
It's
very
much
needed
right
now
in
terms
of
location,
both
deanna
and
dominic
have
been
literally,
you
know,
walking
the
pavement
looking
for
suitable
facilities
for
to
house
the
community
justice
center.
G
G
G
We
have
invitations
out
to
individuals
to
participate
in
that
process
and
and
and
once
the
the
the
advisory,
the
long,
the
permanent
one
that
that
the
advisory
committee
for
this
initiative
they
will
guide
and
advise
the
plans
and
implementation
of
of
our
process.
So.
G
G
We
can't
do
everything
all
at
once
and
some
things
need
to
happen
before
other
things
in
order
to
do
to
to
to
complete
the
next
phase.
So
we
have
put
together
this
massive
matrix
that
has
all
of
the
plans
and
the
sequence
of
the
order
in
which
they
will
occur,
and
right
now
we're
focused
on
the
of
course
reimagining
ipd
and
the
community
healing
plan.
The
community
healing
plan
is
really
critical.
This
will
address
the
trauma
that
exists
in
the
community.
It
will
focus.
G
You
know
we
talked
about
it,
focusing
on
the
relationships
between
the
community
and
police,
and
it
will
certainly
do
that,
but
we're
finding
too
that
within
communities
there
needs
to
be
some
healing.
So
we
will.
We
will
be
looking
to
do
that.
The
we
have
a
framework
that
has
been
provided
to
us
by
cpe,
and
it's
this.
This
is
a
this
is
going
to
be
a
massive
initiative
in
our
community.
G
In
order
to
do
it
right
and
that's
that's,
our
intent
is
to
do
it
right
and
have
very
positive
effects
as
a
result
of
it,
and
also
work
is
continuing
on
the
basically,
it
was
still
evaluating
existing
models,
alternative
models
that
are
out
there.
G
We
do
have
a
few
that
pretty
well
known
the
eugene
model,
the
camden
model,
there's
a
colorado
model
and
others,
but
we
really
need
to
get
to
focus
on
looking
at
all
the
various
different
models
that
are
out
there,
so
we,
we
will
probably
be
working
with
outside
consultants
or
resources
in
order
to
get
this
done,
and
then
I'll
just
mention
briefly
that
we
do
have
a
rollout
process
and
it's
related
to
the
next
slide,
which
is
our
website
and
community
engagement
tool.
G
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
extremely
exciting.
I
have
to
thank
dominic
and
his
team
deanna
and
melody
on
all
the
work
that
they
have
done.
This
will
be
an
opportunity
for
the
community
to
engage
in
this
process,
basically
on
an
almost
real-time
basis.
G
Dominic
is
going
to
be
providing
us
with
a
demonstration
just
so
you
have
an
idea
of
of
what
to
expect
we
did
send.
I
think
you
should
have
received
invitations
to
to
sign
up
and
and
sort
of
play
around
with
it,
but
this
is
a
tool.
That's
going
to
be
heavily
used
to
communicate,
to
get
information
out
to
the
community,
and
I
know
that
some
of
you
are
saying
or
thinking
that
everybody
doesn't
have
access
to
technology.
G
We
also
have
a
plan
in
place
to
enable
people
who
don't
have
access
to
be
able
to
to
utilize
this
tool
too.
So
we
we
we
we're
very
aware
of
it,
and-
and
we
have
you
know,
plans
for
those
who
may
not
have
access
to
get
access
to
this
process.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
turn
it
over
to
dominic
and
do
I
have
to
share
and
then
dominic
will
just
give
us
a
demonstration
of
the
tool.
F
F
Great
you
all
should
be
able
to
see
that
now
there
so
as
shelly
showed
this
is
the
url
people
can
go
to
to
get
to
this
website
is
publicsafetyreimagine.org
or
dot
com.
It
works
with
either
one
I'm
gonna
do
a
very
high
level
overview.
I
know
you
all
have
a
lot
of
stuff
on
your
agenda
tonight
and
we're
gonna
talk
about
what
this
website
does
and
how
people
can
interact
with
it
and
interested
in
any
questions
from
common
council
afterward.
F
If
you
have
any
after
shelly's
done
with
the
rest
of
the
presentation,
so
the
website
is
broken
up
into
sort
of
three
different
sections.
The
what
you
see
here
and
what
is
open
to
the
public
is
the
community
engagement
portion
that
includes
these
plans
and
ideas
and
I'll
go
over
those
in
a
minute.
F
The
other
things
that
this
does
is
it
allows
us
to
have
a
news,
feed
and
I'll
click
into
that
to
show
you
as
well,
where
we
can
post
all
updates
that
we
have
about
the
plans
that
we
put
in
place
and
the
process
as
we
go
along,
and
it
also
allows
us
to
do
project
management
in
the
back
end.
Everything
from
assigning
different
tasks
to
project
managers
or
to
working
group
members
working
group
members
would
be
able
to
use
this
to
rate
different
ideas.
F
Things
like
that,
so
there's
a
there's
a
lot
of
functionality,
but
really
what
we're
kicking
this
off
with
is
the
community
engagement
functionality?
So
you
can
see
here.
This
is
the
home
page
of
the
website
and
you
can
see
what's
described
as
plans
here
and
we'll
use
the
community
healing
plan
as
as
a
sample.
So
each
of
those
dozens
of
plans
that
shelly
was
speaking
about
will
be
added
to
this
website,
one
at
a
time,
and
we've
really
kicked
off
with
the
healing
plan
and
the
unarmed
first
responders.
F
Once
you
click
into
one
of
these
plans
here
and
I'm
signed
into
my
account,
so
you
might
see
my
name
pop
up
in
a
few
places.
It
asks
a
a
prompt
here,
so
you
know
we're
looking
at
the
healing
plan
and
we're
looking
for
the
community
to
tell
us
their
ideas
under
this
prompt.
You
know
describe
the
actions
needed
to
move
the
process
forward
in
developing
a
comprehensive
healing
plan.
What
is
your
role
and
then
describe
the
role
of
the
community
in
the
healing
process
and
there's
a
little
bit
more
information
here?
F
E
F
Describe
it
as
as
thoughtfully
as
I
as
I'd
like,
I
am
going
to
put
sample
here
so
when
I
submit
this
anyone
who's
using
the
website
will
know
that
I
can
add
an
image
and
we've
provided
dozens
and
dozens
of
great
images
of
the
city
and
county
that
the
community
can
use
and
we're
taking
photos
of
all
the
justice
murals
around
the
city
of
ithaca
as
well
that
people
can
use
to
represent
their
ideas.
F
I
can
search
for
a
co-author
and
you
know
add
deanna
to
that,
and
then
I
could
add
an
attachment.
Maybe
it's
an
article
I've
read
or
something
like
that.
I
could
select
it
to
be
anonymous
because
it's
a
sample
one
I'm
going
to
do
that,
and
this
is
probably
one
of
the
only
plans
that
will
allow
confidential
access
that
would
come
just
to
the
working
groups
or
just
to
the
staff
and
volunteers
working
on
it.
F
But
for
now
I'm
not
going
to
bother
clicking
that
I'll
click
submit,
and
you
can
see
that's
a
little
slow
here.
Sorry
about
that
yeah.
You
can
see
that
I've
submitted
that
plan,
and
this
is
what
will
show
up
under
under
my
idea
here.
So
the
top
here
shows
how
far
along
in
the
process,
it
is
every
single
idea
submitted
by
community
members,
have
to
go
through
an
evaluation
process,
so
it'll
have
our
working
groups
and
our
staff
evaluating
every
idea
that
the
community
submits.
F
Ideally,
we
have
hundreds
of
ideas
across
our
different
plans
that
community
members
are
are
adding.
You
can
see
all
the
details
here
can
add
a
comment
on
the
plan,
so,
if
around
my
idea,
so
if
I'm
looking
at
someone
else's
idea-
and
I
like
it
or
think
it
could
be
changed
or
want
my
perspective
to
be
heard
on
it,
I
can
add
a
comment.
F
Most
of
our
plans
will
allow
sort
of
a
five-star
voting
system.
This
particular
one
doesn't
healing
plan
is
something
that's
very
personal,
and
we
wanted
to
remove
that
sort
of
voting
on
things
from
this
particular
one.
So
the
other
thing
that's
really
exciting
about
this
is
that
people
can
subscribe
to
things.
So
if
I'm
looking
at
someone
else's
idea,
I
can
click
to
subscribe
to
all
updates
that
happen
on
any
new
changes
any
any
way
it
moves
along
the
process
here,
etc.
F
And
the
last
thing
I'll
show
you
before
I
hop
out
of
shared
screen
is
when
there
are
a
few
ideas
you
can
sort
of
explore
the
different
ideas
that
people
have
put
in,
so
members
of
the
community
will
be
able
to
go
to
this
and
see
oh
wow.
There's
you
know
a
couple
of
ideas
here.
I
can
engage
with
these.
F
I
can
leave
comments
like
here,
for
example,
I
I
haven't
voted
on
this
one,
but
this
is
a
you
know
suggesting
that
for
animal
barking,
complaints,
it's
an
unarmed
response
in
the
future
and
I
can
click.
You
know
I
really
like
that.
I'm
gonna
give
that
five
stars.
I
think
that's
a
great
use
for
an
unarmed
response
and
you
can
see
there
that
both
of
these
are
have
an
average
of
five
stars
and
in
addition
to
the
plans
and
ideas,
there's
that
news
function.
F
I
talked
about
earlier
too,
where
everything
that
we
do
related
to
reimagining
public
safety.
All
of
our
press
releases-
and
you
know
recordings
like
this
one
we
have
tonight-
will
all
live
here
in
sequence,
one
by
one
and
I'll
make
sure
that
image
of
deanna
doesn't
keep
cutting
off
that
way.
F
But
this
should
be
really
a
comprehensive
one-stop
shop
for
people
who
are
looking
to
get
more
information
on
the
process,
provide
their
input
and
ideas,
react
to
other
people's
input
ideas
and
then
it'll.
Allow
us
as
staff-
and
you
know,
elected
officials,
volunteers,
etc,
to
gauge
ideas,
see
what
works
and
then
help
implement
them
over
time.
And
that's
that's
all
I
have
unless
there
are
any
questions-
and
I
don't
know
if
there
were
any
more
slides
showing.
G
Yeah,
no,
I
just
just
had
the
last
slide
and
I
was
just
going
to
open
it
up
for
questions
if
there
are
any
and
deanna
and
melody
you're
welcome
to
take
your
mute
off
too.
Are
there
questions?
What
did
you
hear
about.
I
Thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
that
looks
like
an
incredibly
powerful
website.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
So
am
I
understanding
correctly
that
people
need
to
register
to
be
able
to
use
that
site
and
in
the
registration
process
will
they
indicate
where
they
live?
So
we
can
understand
if
they're
a
city
resident
a
town
resident
resident
or
they
live
in
arizona
or
some
other
place
absolutely.
F
And
it
does
ask
demographic
questions
as
well
that
are
optional,
so
we'll
be
able
to
to
look
at
the
sign
ups
and
see
or
answers
or
comments
you
know,
etc,
and
and
look
at
everything,
from
race
to
income
to
neighborhood,
etc
and
see
who
we're
missing
as
well.
F
So
then
we
can
go
out
and
try
to
try
to
pull
those
people
into
the
process
and,
as
shelly
mentioned
earlier,
there
are
various
plans
to
meet
the
needs
of
people
who
may
not
have
direct
access
to
the
internet
at
home,
and
this
has
been
shared
with
and
all
of
the
local
libraries
and
librarians
have
engaged
with
this.
So
they
know
how
to
train
community
members
or
walk
them
through
or
things
like
that.
F
Yeah,
there
are
certainly
some
things
built
into
the
software
to
to
protect
for
that,
and
because
it's
it's
a
I'm
trying
to
think
dual
factor,
authentication,
I
think,
is
what
they
call
it.
So
you
have
to
come
in.
You
have
to,
you,
know,
sign
up
with
a
an
email
and
it's
not
just
an
automated
process,
so
it
won't
allow
typical
bots
or
things
like
that
to
come
in.
J
B
Thank
you,
yeah.
J
And
dominic
and
shelly,
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
So
I
guess
if
this
has
been
done
previously
in
terms
of
reimagining,
as
you
mentioned,
some
of
the
other
communities
that
have
done
this,
do
you
have
any
sense
of
what
would
be
a
kind
of
good
response
to
this
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
kind
of
engagement
and
ideas?
K
Sure
I
would
just
want
to
contextualize
the
answer
to
this
when
we
think
about
minoritized
voices,
it's
never
the
number.
It's
really.
We
really
try
to
look
at
a
qualitative
perspective,
and
so
what
we
know
we
will
have
feedback
from
multiple
dimensions
of
equity,
and
so
we
think
about
that.
Whether
it
is
the
black
around
folks
for
folks
with
ability
or
disability,
the
the
the
way
in
which
we
receive
feedback
will
be
through
this
tool,
but
it
also
may
be
through
paper
forms
or
something
like
that,
depending
on
what
we
do.
K
It
could
be
true,
because
dom
has
lots
of
brilliant
ideas.
It
could
be
the
newspaper,
so
we
look
at
the
totality
of
feedback,
as
I
think
as
we
I
just
wanted
to
frame
this
in
terms
of
this
feedback.
We
also
can
tell,
for
example,
I'm
sure
you've
all
had
this
before
you
may
get
an
email
of
a
thousand.
They
all
say
the
same
thing,
and
so
we
always
have
to
look
across
spectrum
and
looking
across
different
dimensions
to
be
able
to
answer
that,
and
so
we
will
look
at
some
of
those
numbers.
K
But
I
also
just
caution
or
say
that's
one
of
many
things
that
we
try
to
do
as
we
look
at
this,
and
also
knowing
that
tompkins
county
and
the
city
of
ithaca
are
unique
is
I
is
an
understatement.
I
think,
with
this
extremely
dynamic
community.
So
when
we
say
that
we're
gonna,
you
know
they
say
my
mom,
always
my
mom
used
to
always
say
they
broke
the
rule.
K
When
they
made
me,
I
think
they
broke
the
mold
when
they
created
thomas
county
and
the
city
of
ithaca
and
so
we're
starting
something
new,
and
I
think
the
numbers
will
tell
one
story,
but
also
engagement
will
be
through
the
numbers,
but
also
be
through
spaces
like
this.
We
will
need
you
to
help
train
and
encourage
other
people
to
use
it
as
well,
and
so
our
engagement
will
again
not
just
be
through
what
we
get
from
this,
but
how
we
see
the
power
of
the
influence
and
it
multiplying
over
a
series
of
times
so
dom.
F
Right
know
that
that's
great
contact
deanna,
I
completely
agree
and
I'll
I'll,
just
add
that,
while
it's
an
incredibly
powerful
way
for
people
to
input
their
ideas,
our
expectation
will
also
be
that
all
of
the
ideas
of
working
groups
or
staff
etc
also
get
put
into
this.
Even
if
the
plan
is
to
implement
them
over
time,
we're
still
going
to
put
them
in
as
ideas
so
that
people
can
track
them
along
the
process.
F
F
So
I
did
think
about
that
through
our
process
of
creating
this
and
looked
into
that
a
bit
and
looked
back
at
our
meeting
with
with
the
white
bird
folks
and
and
certainly
their
innovation
was
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
different
and
a
little
bit
more
based
on
trying
something
seeing
what
worked
and
then
moving
on
to
the
next
thing.
Whereas
we're
trying
to
collect
all
that
information
on
the
front
end.
B
B
So
please
do
feel
free
not
only
to
use
it
but
to
spread
the
news
on
your
list.
Serves
social
media
et
cetera,.
K
Oh
yes,
one
final
thing,
mr
mayor.
Thank
you.
We
also.
This
is
our
first
presentation
of
our
monthly
presentation,
so
we
thank
you
shelley
and
for
and
common
council
for
allowing
us
to
do
the
first
presentation
of
our
again
monthly
cycle.
We
will
do
the
same
presentation
or
something
similar
at
the
legislators
meeting
on
the
seventh.
I
believe
it's
next
tuesday
and
so
you'll
see
the
same
group
of
folks,
but
we'll
be
doing
this
monthly,
and
so
we
want
to
be
transparent.
K
L
M
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
tonight.
As
you
know
or
may
know,
you
should
know.
The
farmer's
market
is
in
the
process
of
redesigning
the
both
the
design
and
the
and
the
the
actual
construction
is
going
to
be
grant
funded
and,
as
the
you
know,
it's
on
city
land.
As
you
all
know,
it's
such
an
iconic
area
for
people
and
many
many
of
your
constituents
as
well
as
you
feel
ownership
of
this.
So
and
as
this
this
council
is
an
involved
agency
in
the
environmental
review.
M
E
A
N
All
right,
thank
you,
lisa.
My
name
is
kate
chesbro,
I'm
here
from
widam
planning
and
design,
I'm
joined
by
anton
burkett
representing
the
farmer's
market
and
we'll
go
through
these
slides
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
give
everyone
an
overview
of
where
we
are
in
process,
so
we
can
jump
in
so
the
next
slide
is,
if
you
go
to
the
next,
an
overview
of
where
we
are
in
space.
The
farmer's
market
is,
you
know
the
market
is
the
namesake
of
the
new
market
district
for
the
re-zoned
area
of
the
west
end.
N
N
N
N
There
are
a
number
of
easements
that
run
through
the
site.
The
easement
shown
in
an
orange
color
is
a
nice
egg.
Easement
there
are
large
utility
overhead
lines
and
in
the
purple
that
is
the
sewer
easement.
The
sewer
easement
currently
is
underneath
the
footprint
of
the
market
building
and
there's
another
on
the
the
bottom
side
of
the
property
line
shown
here.
So
we
are
working
with
a
small
group
from
the
wastewater
treatment
facility
to
talk
through
some
of
those
existing
easements
and
how
it
relates
to
the
plans
for
this
project.
N
Let's
go
to
the
next,
so
we
brought
up
a
few
images
to
remind
all
of
us
what
it
is
like
there
in.
Let's
go
back
one,
what
it's
like
at
the
existing
parking
area.
N
N
It's
right
on
the
key
yoga
waterfront
trail
and
it
is
beloved
and
beautiful
and
could
even
be
improved.
There
are
some
challenges,
though,
the
way
that
the
interface
of
the
trail
goes
through.
This
site
makes
it
difficult
to
see
where
you're
headed,
especially
if
you're
on
a
bike-
and
there
are
true
accessibility
issues
with
steps
and
uneven,
paving.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
N
N
A
lot
of
those
are
functionally
necessary
for
vendors
to
access
their
booths
during
market.
It's
also
currently
the
emergency
access
route
and
that
will
change
as
part
of
the
site
redesign.
So
those
are
some
of
the
existing
conditions
on
the
waterfront.
Let's
go
to
the
next,
be
looking
at
the
building.
N
N
N
But
as
we
look
further
at
this,
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
there
are
issues
around
this
building.
The
exterior
is
especially
if
you
had
to
wait
in
line
during
our
past.
You
know
coveted
years.
You
can
see
that
the
exterior
of
the
building
is
truly
dominated
by
cars.
It's
it's
really
an
inward
facing
experience
during
any
windy
or
rainy
events.
Weather
makes
its
way
into
the
market
and
can
really
disturb
events
that
are
going
on.
N
Vendors
are
truly
ingenious
in
their
ways
of
making
it
work
they're
on
site
now,
but
the
the
design
team
is
looking
at
how
we
can
make
this
function
better
in
the
future.
Let's
go
to
the
next,
so
we
wanted
to
give
an
overview
of
the
farmers
markets,
planning,
process
and
public
outreach
efforts
that
we've
done
today.
Let's
go
next
in
2016,
the
market
began
its
strategic
planning
process,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
probably
familiar
to
members
of
this
board,
as
the
market
team
has
been
in
front
of
the
board.
As
it's
been
doing
these.
N
So
the
strategic
plan
in
2016
then
led
to
a
feasibility
study
for
a
new
parking
area
and
a
circulation
study
in
2020.
There
was
a
study
for
a
new
year
round,
building
on
the
site
and,
as
part
of
all
of
this
planning,
the
market
has
really
learned
the
importance
of
the
market.
To
so
many
people,
they've
done
a
lot
of
their
own
outreach
to
the
community.
They
did
a
survey
with
over
150
responses
within
their
own
group
of
vendors.
N
N
So
in
april
of
2020,
the
market
issued
two
requests
for
qualifications
which
led
to
our
firm
whitman
planning
and
design
leading
the
site
design
process
with
our
consultants
at
shoemaker,
civil
engineers
and
siena
environmental
engineers.
So
we're
handling
those
elements
of
the
project.
Right
now
and
n
architects,
a
brooklyn-based
architectural
firm
will
be
handling
the
building
design,
as
lisa
mentioned.
N
We
just
met
with
the
planning
board
for
our
first
time
in
in
their
past,
their
meeting
that
just
happened
in
august,
so
we
are
getting
hopefully
a
seeker
approval
of
the
whole
project
this
year
and
that
will
include
the
parking
improvements,
waterfront
improvements
and
the
design
for
the
new
building.
The
final
design
of
the
new
building
will
happen
later
and
so
this
year
again
final
site
plan
for
parking
seeker
for
the
whole
thing
in
2022,
hoping
for
construction
of
the
parking
area.
N
N
We've
done
a
public
outreach
of
our
own
as
part
of
this
design
process.
This
year,
that's
been
both
virtual
and
in
person.
We've
been
reaching
out
to
the
vendor
groups
with
an
online
survey.
We
got
57
responses,
then,
and
the
market
continues
to
coordinate
with
them
and
for
the
public
survey
that
was
put
out.
N
There
are
really
special
elements
to
preserve.
At
this
site.
People
are
looking
to
see
some
significant
and
unique
features
like
outdoor
seating
and
views
to
the
inlet
and
everybody
hates
the
potholes
and
dust.
We.
We
also
appreciate,
as
lisa
said,
that
many
people
are
very
connected
to
the
way
that
the
market
is
today
and
that
also
came
across
quite
clearly
in
the
outreach
that
we've
done
so
we're
doing
our
best
to
answer
what
we've
heard.
As
part
of
all
of
that,
let's
keep
going.
N
Oh
sorry
and
finally,
we'll
show
you
some
of
the
schematic
designs
that
are
out
there
now.
As
we
said
working
with
the
planning
board,
we've
just
started
that
process.
So
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
N
This
conceptual
layout
is
the
one
that's
been
shared
to
date
and
it
shows
the
overall
plan
again.
These
are
phased
and
will
happen
over
time.
But
as
we
look
at
the
parking
layout
here,
this
shows
much
more
open
sight
lines
from
3rd
street
toward
the
building.
So,
as
you're
approaching,
you
can
clearly
see
your
destination.
N
This
shows
bioretention
areas
between
the
parking
stalls
as
you
get
closer
to
the
building
and
you
can
access
the
building
either
on
foot.
You
can
take
the
route,
that's
there
on
the
waterfront
trail
and
there
are
new
sidewalks,
but,
as
you
get
closer
to
the
building,
there
will
be
a
pedestrian
promenade,
that
vendors
will
be
able
to
load
and
unload
from,
but
then
park
away
from
the
building
they'll
be
able
to
access
the
site
with
their
vehicles,
but
then
park
away
from
it.
N
So
this
is
an
overall
picture
of
what
we're
thinking
for
the
parking
and
the
waterfront
and
we'll
focus
on
those
for
the
site
design.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide
quickly,
we
wanted
to
mention
that
during
the
upcoming
september
planning
board
meeting,
there
will
be
a
discussion,
as
we
often
do,
of
of
an
updated
design
that
we
think
responds
better
to
the
sense
of
scale
and
preserving
some
of
the
character
of
the
existing
parking
area.
N
N
If
you
can
notice
the
center
area,
that
will
be
the
year-round
winterized
portion
of
the
building,
it's
it's
in
the
middle,
so
it's
sort
of
like
a
a
building
surrounded
by
a
pavilion,
but
it's
all
under
one
roof,
and
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
wanted
to
really
clearly
show
that
this
new
building
design
really
opens
up
the
market
in
more
ways
than
one
to
people
coming
in
from
all
different
directions.
N
So
this
has
much
more
porosity.
There
are
multiple
entrance
points
and
the
way
that
the
market
stalls
are
arranged.
Those
are
the
teal
colors,
creates
these
volumes
for
seating
and
other
functions
that
happen
at
the
market,
like
weddings
parties.
Things
like
that
and
the
the
yellow
lines
that
face
in
and
out
are
just
a
nod
toward
the
fact
that
the
design
team
is
trying
to
make
the
market
more
outward
facing
than
it
is
today.
N
So
this
will
give
the
vendors
the
opportunity
to
sell
facing
the
waterfront
or
facing
the
promenade,
so
it
won't
all
be
within
the
building.
You'll,
be
able
to
see
people
buying
and
selling
and
chatting
hanging
out
through
all
around
the
building
and
let's
go
to
the
last.
This
just
shows
the
second
floor
plan.
N
N
B
Yes,
laura.
O
O
My
question
is
so
the
design
the
conceptual
design
is
for
a
two-story
building.
What
and
I
understand
that
it's
conceptual
at
this
stage,
but
what
is
the
time
frame
for
such
construction
and
I'm
just
trying
to
envision?
You
know,
would
the
existing
building
be
demolished
and
then
the
new
building
constructed
what
happens
to
the
market
and
to
vendors
in
the
interim,
and
what's
that
kind
of
construction
time
frame.
P
You
want
to
take
that
sure.
It's
anton
burkett,
I'm
executive
director
at
the
farmer's
farmers
market,
still
not
close
enough-
is
that
a
little
better
there
we
go
okay,
so
anton
burkett,
I'm
the
executive
director
at
the
farmer's
market.
This
year
we
submitted
a
grant
under
the
state
cfa
process
for
the
parking
lot.
P
We'll
know
whether
we
got
that
in
december,
and
hopefully
we
will,
and
if
we
do,
then
the
construction
can
begin
on
the
parking
lot,
potentially
as
early
as
the
fall
of
2022
next
year,
we'll
be
seeking
funding
for
waterfront
improvements
through
the
cfa
and
for
phase
two
and
same
thing.
It
would
be
2023
or
so
before.
P
We'd
be
able
to
and
probably
fall
spring
is
tends
to
be
our
construction
window
there,
because
so
we
can
maintain
as
much
as
possible
of
the
the
growing
season
and
selling
season
for
our
vendors
at
the
site
and
so
doing.
The
waterfront
improvements
in
in
2023
ish
fall
of
2023
spring
of
2024
and
then
in
2020
four
right.
We
would
be
looking
for
grant
funding
for
the
pavilion
itself
and
at
that
point
the
cost
of
this
new
facility
would
be
exceeding
any
grant
funding.
P
And
yes,
we
would
be
deconstructing
the
current
facility
and
and
hopefully
as
modularly
as
possible,
reconstructing
the
new
one
and
doing
it
on
the
shoulders
of
the
construction
season
as
best
as
we
can
so
that
we
can
maintain
at
least
some
interrupt,
uninterrupted
selling
at
the
farmers
market
during
this
part
of
the
season.
Q
Thanks,
I
I
don't
know
how
many
weeks
or
months
the
market's
not
active
in
the
wintertime
now,
but
what?
What
would
be
the
advantages?
What
do
you
hope
to
gain
by
having
a
year-round
market.
P
I
guess
april
through
december,
and
so
you
know
it's
it's
already
a
year-round
market.
It
would
be
nice
to
house
it
all
in
one
location
from
a
customer
standpoint
and
another
thing
we
didn't
really
mention
too
much
this
in
this
presentation,
but
I
really
would
like
to
see
this
facility
be
able
to
be
utilized
more
consistently
throughout
the
week,
maybe
for
other
functions
collaborations
with
community
education
groups.
Things
like
that
to
be
able
to
kind
of
fully
utilize.
E
P
P
You
see
it
all,
and
so
it's
a
really
nice
space.
It's
one
of
the
few.
You
know
public
water
access
locations
that
ithaca
the
city
of
ithaca
has
right
on
its
dock
docket.
So
we
would
like
to
see
that
enhanced
those
are
some
of
the
kind
of
increased
use
case
that
we're
looking
at
for
it,
but
yeah
in
terms
of
backing
up
to
just
the
winter
market.
Piece
of
it
we
already
are
a
year-round
market
and
having
it
all
housed
in
the
same
location
would
be
great.
Q
Would
would
that
require
additional
infrastructure
provided
by
the
city
like.
P
In
the
future,
and
and
you
know
so,
it
would
be
essentially
a
public
park
maintained
by
a
non-profit
and
farmers
market
cooperative
partnership.
B
Okay,
any
other
questions
all
right.
We
appreciate
you
coming
here
to
help
kick
off
this
this
process
at
this
level.
I
know
you've
been
at
it
already
for
for
quite
a
while,
but
hoping
to
to
see
more
folks
engaged
in
this
public
conversation.
So
thank
you
for
for
being
here.
We
really
appreciate
it.
Thank.
B
And
I'll
see
you
for
a
burrito
this
saturday,
this
is
my
tradition.
B
Next
is
louise
and
an
update
on
the
city
of
ithaca's
green
new
deal.
R
Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
luis,
I'm
the
director
of
sustainability,
I
haven't
met
all
of
you
so
but
believe
me,
I
work
for
you.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
space
to
give
you
an
update
on.
What's
going
on
with
the
green
new
deal,
we
could
go
to
the
next
one.
Just
a
quick
reminder.
You
know
it
was
june
2019.
It
seems
like
you
know
so
many
years
ago,
but
it
really
was
just
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
we
decided
to
go
for
a
green
new
deal.
N
R
From
next
please
next,
please
so
it
all
comes
from
you
know.
The
green
new
deal
came
from
washington.
It
was
an
idea,
a
grand
plan,
to
tackle
climate
change
that
happened
in
washington.
The
idea
was,
to,
on
one
hand,
address
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
but
on
the
other
it
was,
the
idea
was
to
you
know,
promote
climate
justice
in
the
united
states.
This
you
know,
starting
washington,
came
all
the
way
to
ithaca.
R
You
are
all
familiar
with
the
sunrise
movement,
and
you
know
the
force
that
they
can
have
when
they
work
together.
So
we
have
a
green
new
deal
today.
Next,
one
please,
but
then
you
know
covet
hit
the
next
one,
but
then
2021
next
one
291
comes,
and
you
know
there
is
this
global
risk
outlook
we're
talking
about.
You
know
the
year
right
after
the
pandemic
and
still
the
number
one
risk
for
humanity
is
climate
action
failure.
R
We
have
a
new
federal
government.
Well,
not
so
new
anymore,
but
you
know
they
are
putting
everything
behind
the
fight
against
climate
change
and
climate
injustice.
Next
one
please,
the
state
of
new
york
is
also
trying
to
lead
the
country
with
very
aggressive
targets
for
current
emission
reduction
next
piece,
and
just
a
week
ago
you
know
a
new
report
was
published.
Basically
saying
you
know
we're
kind
of
late
to
the
party.
Things
are
changing.
R
R
So
we
still
need
to
do
our
part,
but
I
believe
we
need
to
accelerate
what
we
have
to
do
so
we're
back
here,
and
what
I
want
to
show
you
now
is
what
the
green
new
deal
has
become
in
the
last
five
months
since
I
joined
the
city
next
place.
R
Yes,
so
this
is
the
green
new
deal.
This
is
the
way
we
are
talking
about
the
green
new
deal
today,
so
I'm
not
going
to
read
what's
on
the
screen.
What
I
want
to
say
is
that
it,
it
truly
is
a
mission
oriented
collaborative
approach.
We
are
talking
about
something
almost
impossible,
we're
talking
about
a
moonshot
we're
trying
to
redefine
the
way
we
you
know
relate
to
each
other
relate
to
the
planet,
we're
trying
to
redefine
the
economy.
It
is
definitely
a
people
first
approach.
R
We
are
talking
about
elevating
social
capital,
we're
talking
about
making
sure
that
everything
that
makes
all
the
principles
that
make
this
community
unique
are
at
the
very
forefront
of
everything
that
we're
trying
to
do.
We're
also
trying
to
make
sure
that
equity,
justice
and
sustainable
prosperity
are
at
the
very
core
of
everything
that
we
do
so
when
we
set
up
the
green
new
deal
at
the
very
beginning,
we
talked
about.
You
know,
sharing
the
benefits
with
members
of
the
community
and
making
sure
that
nobody
was
left
behind,
but
I
believe
that
that's
not
enough.
R
What
we
need
to
do
is
to
put
it
at
the
center,
so
it
is
a
people
first
approach
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
make
life
better
for
everybody
who's
part
of
this
community.
So
that's
what
the
green
new
deal
is.
It
is
part
of
a
global
imperative
and
we're
also
trying
to
think
about
it
differently.
The
role
of
government
is
not
to
pay
for
it.
The
role
of
government
is
not
to
do
everything.
R
R
Okay,
so
what
we
do.
The
first
thing
that
we
need
to
do
is
to
identify
the
emissions
and
the
source
of
the
emissions.
So
we
want
two
more
please
so
we
identify
there
is
400
000
metric
tons
of
co2.
That
is
a
lot
we're
talking
about
four
million
cars
in
circulation
at
the
same
time,
so
you
get
an
idea
what
we're
talking
about.
I
believe
there
is
a
way
of
mitigating
this
strategy.
R
These
emissions,
you
know
instead
of
thinking
about
it
like
the
way,
a
lot
of
the
time
we
do,
which
is
you
know,
vertically
thinking
about
sectors
we
can
think
about
it
horizontally.
We
can
think
about
it
in
terms
of
cross-cutting
measures
that
could
actually
help
the
entire
city.
Every
single
industry
reduce
emissions,
so
we're.
R
Just
thinking
about
energy
efficiency,
we
can
reduce
emissions
by
25
by
talking
about
electrifying
our
buildings.
That
is
replacing
anything
that
causes
combustion
in
your
house.
In
every
building.
We
can
actually
reduce
emissions
by
25
and
by
decarbonizing
the
grid.
That
is
making
sure
that
all
the
energy
that
we
get
in
the
city
is
from
renewable
energy
sources.
Then
we
can
reduce
the
remaining
30
percent
next
one.
There
is
still
something
there,
one
more
yeah
there,
which
is
this
20,
that
you
know
it
may
be
difficult
to
get
to.
R
But
you
know
we
have
time
we're.
Gonna
have
to
take
a
look
at
carbon
capture
technologies
in
the
future,
but
we're
gonna
do
that
next,
please
so,
one
more
so
in
in
the
state
of
new
york.
You
know
the
emissions
come
from
different
places.
It's
not
different
for
the
city
of
ithaca.
Most
of
the
missions
come
from
buildings
and
transportation,
and
some
of
the
emissions
obviously
come
from
a
natural
natural
gas
which
is
used
for
part
of
the
electricity
that
we
receive
here
in
the
city.
R
So
the
strategy
is
centered
around
those
three
things,
but
we
are
also
considering
waste
management,
we're
also
considering
food
systems
and
a
number
of
things
that
are
really
around
this
to
to
make
it
possible.
R
Can
you
do
three?
Okay,
so
the
way
we're
looking
at
this
is
you
know?
One
of
the
big
changes,
perhaps,
is
that
climate
change
for
those
who
could
do
this
for
a
living
climate
change
is
not
really
an
environmental
issue.
It
is
an
economic
issue.
It
is
an
economic
issue
with
horrific
social
and
environmental
ramifications.
R
So
we
treat
it
as
an
economic
problem.
We
need
to
look
at
it
for
what
it
is,
and
there
are
you
know,
asymmetries
of
power,
symmetries
of
information,
preponderant
players.
We
have
a
market
failure,
so
we're
treating
this
and
and
the
strategy
of
the
sustainability
office
is
to
treat
climate
change
as
a
market
failure,
and
what
that
means
is
that
we're
going
to
deploy
first,
economic,
then
institutional
and
then
regulatory
incentives,
sorry
instruments
and,
and
the
reason
why
this
is
necessary
is
because
first,
we
need
to
give
people
an
option.
R
We
need
to
give
the
market
an
option
to
react.
That
is
the
economic
incentive.
Then
we
as
government,
we
need
to
show
commitment,
and
then
we
need
to
come
in
with
regulation
to
close
everything.
We're
going
to
do
this
in
order
to
mitigate
and
adapt
to
climate
change,
and
we're
going
to
do
this
also.
R
So
the
city
is,
has
a
resilient
infrastructure,
we're
going
to
do
it
in
five
phases,
but
they
are
going
to
run
concurrently
because
we
don't
have
time
to
wait
for
one
to
be
completed,
so
we're
going
to
gather
as
much
data
we're
doing
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory.
It's
going
to
take
us
about
a
year,
but
we're
going
to
do
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory
to
make
sure
that
we
know
exactly
where
the
emissions
are
coming
from
and
whether
we
need
any
special
program
to
tackle
a
particular
source
of
emissions.
R
We're
going
to
have
a
phase
when
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
efficiency,
energy
efficiency,
also
connectivity
and
circular
economy.
I'll
explain
in
detail
in
a
second,
then
there's
going
to
be
a
phase
where
we're
going
to
be
decarbonizing.
We're
going
to
try
to
decentralize
energy
resources,
we're
going
to
try
to
bring
more
renewable
energy
assets
into
the
city
and
we're
going
to
try
to
digitalize
energy,
we're
going
to
do
electrification,
and
this
goes
for
transportation
and
for
buildings,
and
then
we're
gonna
do
carbon
capture
next,
please!
R
This
we're
gonna
be
doing
this
concurrently,
as
I
mentioned,
but
then
at
the
very
core
of
everything.
There
is
these
principles.
You
know
one
of
them
is
climate
justice.
That
is
perhaps
the
most
important
thing
that
we're
considering
with
everything
that
we
do
in
in
the
green
new
deal,
we're
talking
about
innovation,
but
innovation
for
economic
development.
Those
two
things
go
hand
in
hand,
no
separately,
we're
not
just
figuring
out
which
technologies
are
the
coolest
and
we're
gonna
bring
them
here.
R
No
we're
gonna
figure
out
which
innovations
can
actually
help
us
achieve
our
targets,
so
reach
our
targets
and
also
promote
economic
development.
We
cannot
do
this
alone.
We
need
to
have
a
form
of
democratic
engagement
with
the
community.
The
the
type
of
public
engagement
that
the
green
new
deal
is
promoting
right
now
is
an
engagement
that
leads
to
a
model
of
shared
governance
that
eventually
could
lead
to
participatory
budget.
R
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
work
with
the
community
not
to
consult
with
the
community
work
with
them
and
we're
going
to
do
this,
not
in
isolation,
because
I
believe
that
climate
change
is
a
problem
that
we
all
share
and
it
is
just
like
coffee.
You
know.
If
one
person
went
home,
it
was
not
going
to
go
away.
When
everybody
went
home,
we
started,
you
know
making
progress.
So
it's
the
same
thing.
R
This
is
going
to
be
very
expensive.
This
is
going
to
cost
2
billion
dollars.
I
don't
know
if
you
thought
about
this
when
when
you
approved
the
green
new
deal
at
the
very
beginning,
but
you
know
this
is
how
much
it's
going
to
cost
you
shouldn't
feel
too
bad.
You
know
the
cost
for
the
united
states
to
do
what
the
buying
administration
wants
to
do
is
3.4
trillion
dollars.
So
you
know
it's
not
too
expensive,
but
then
I
want
you
to
think
about
this
in
the
next
10
years.
R
It's
estimated
that
the
us
is
going
to
spend
about
3
trillion
in
toys.
So
when
you
think
about
it,
toys,
climate
change,
you
know
it
depends
on
your
priorities,
but
I
can
see
well,
you
know
where
the
money
should
go
next,
please
so
the
next.
If
you
could
do
several,
probably
five
more
that
then
I'll
go
over
this
very
quickly,
so
we
have
actually
12
programs
so
three
more
pieces.
So
the
first
thing
that
we're
doing
is-
and
I'm
talking
about
programs-
because
these
are
these
are
complex.
R
You
know
tasks
that
we
are
implementing.
All
of
them
were
working
with
members
of
the
community
because
you
know
so
far.
The
staff
for
the
green
new
deal
is
just
me.
So
the
first
one
is
is
the
climate
action
plan
and
the
greenhouse
gas
inventory
that
we're
working
on
this?
It's
all
about
identifying.
You
know
the
source
of
greenhouse
gases,
define
our
targets
and
our
mitigation
strategies.
We
can
anticipate
some
of
those
and
that's
why
we
started
working
the
next
one
is
justice
50..
R
Initially,
the
green
new
deal
said
that
we
are
gonna.
We're
gonna
share
the
benefits
with
members
of
the
community.
The
biden
administration
recommends
40
of
the
benefits
the
the
state
is
recommending
between
35
and
45
of
the
benefits,
and
and
these
not
these
numbers
don't
come
out
of
nowhere.
These
numbers
actually
need
to
be
calculated
and
determined.
R
So
it
is
our
recommendation
to
have
to
redirect
50
of
the
benefits,
and-
and
this
has
to
be
quantifiable,
like
we
are
talking
about
improving
people's
lives
and
we're
talking
about
a
debt
that
we
have
with
society,
and
we
want
to
use
this
to
start
paying
back.
The
next
one
is
green
workforce
development.
This
is
terribly
important
right
now.
R
You
know
we're
coming
back
from
covet,
hopefully
we're
coming
back
from
covet
and
and
the
economy
you
know,
needs
a
boost
right
now
we're
trying
to
find
ways
of
creating
jobs.
We
have
one
program
right
now,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
it
in
a
second
which
is
the
retrofit
and
electrification
of
6000
buildings
in
the
city.
R
We
believe
that
has
that
program
alone
has
the
potential
of
creating
400
jobs
in
the
next
three
years,
so
we
are
actually
partnering
with
other
organizations
who
are
specifically
partnering
with
bay's
roots
of
success,
which
is
the
program
that
banjons
and
rachel
pinderhughes
developed
before
banjons,
went
to
work
with
obama,
administration
and
became
the
greens.
The
green
jobs
are.
This
is
a
program
that
has
been
proven
to
work.
R
It
targets
disadvantaged
communities,
but
it's
much
broader
than
that,
and
I
believe
that
we
can
bring
it
to
ita
and
that
can
be
the
solution
to
create
the
workforce
that
we
need
and
here's
the
other
thing,
the
green
new
deal.
You
know
I'm
talking
about
two
billion
dollars,
we're
talking
about
a
number
of
programs
and
a
number
of
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
make
it
happen,
but
at
the
same
time,
I'm
talking
about
creating
industries
that
don't
exist
today.
R
Here
the
number
of
jobs
and
the
quality
of
the
jobs
that
we
need
to
create
are
not
going
to
come
from
the
industries
and
the
businesses
that
we
have
today.
We
need
to
create
new
businesses,
new
industries
and
that's
going
to
attract
qualified
workers,
and
it's
going
to
help
us.
You
know,
develop
the
economy
even
further
number
four
is
really
important.
R
This
is
going
to
cost
two
billion
dollars.
It's
not
going
to
come
from
savante
just
half
of
it,
but
what
we
need
to
do
is
to
figure
out
a
way
of
attracting
investment.
We
need
to
become
a
catalyst
for
investment,
so
we
need
to
identify
ways
in
which
we
can
actually
mitigate
the
risk
associated
with
investment
in
our
community.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
find
ways
of
unlocking
and
the
risk
in
finance,
so
we
can
attract
investment.
That
is
the
exercise
that
we
did.
R
This
is
has
been
the
focus
of
of
my
first
five
months
here.
It's
been
in
identifying
ways
of
mitigating
risks,
so
we
can
attract
investment.
Number
five
is
share
governance.
We
are
trying
to
establish
a
new
model
of
democratic
engagement.
We
want
people
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
We
don't
want
to
just
consult
them.
We're
also
we're
going
to
implement
community
choice
aggregation,
so
we
can
procure
100,
carbon-free
electricity
for
the
entire
city,
we're
already
making
progress,
we're
working
with
the
town
of
itaca
and
sustainable
tompkins.
R
I
believe
in
12
months
we'll
have
a
proposal
for
the
public
service
commission
and
I
believe
in
18
to
24
months
we're
going
to
be
able
to
procure
100
carbon
free
electricity
for
everybody
in
the
city.
We're
also
trying
to
figure
out
a
way-
and
this
comes
mo.
This
is
a
financial
issue.
You
know
how
we
can
deploy
more
renewable
energy.
R
If
we
were
to
electrify
the
city,
we
were
to
bring
electric
vehicles
to
the
city,
the
load,
basically,
the
the
the
pressure
that
is
going
to
put
in
the
distribution
circuits
in
the
city
you
know
is
going
to
be
much
greater
than
we
have
today.
It
was
not
designed
for
that.
So
what
we
need
to
do
is
to
put
more
renewable
energy
within
city
boundaries,
so
we
reduce
the
dependency
that
we
will
have
on
the
transmission
distribution
grid.
R
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
we
need
at
least
one
megawatt
of
rooftop
or
ground-mounted
solar
pv
projects
in
the
city,
we're
already
working
and
talking
to
a
couple
of
developers
about
potentially
deploying
even
you
know
three
times
that
within
the
next
couple
of
years
then
number
eight.
That
is
the
start
today.
It's
the
energy
efficiency
and
electrification
program.
R
As
I
mentioned
the
the
first
five
months
and
I
consulted
with
the
major
I-
I
worked
with
the
staff
of
the
planning
department
and
we
tapped
onto
some
private
investors,
and
we
were
able
to
raise
100
million
dollars
to
deploy
a
program.
So
we
could
retrofit
1
600
buildings
within
city
boundaries
and
also
replace
anything
that
does
combustion,
that
is,
heating
systems,
water,
heaters,
clothes,
dryers,
replace
them
with
with
heat
pumps.
That
would
also
provide
air
conditioning
during
the
summer.
R
We
believe
that
you
know
the
the
hundred
million
dollars
that
we
have
will
be
no
for
1
600
buildings.
There
is
a
soft
commitment
from
investors
to
invest
250
million
dollars
in
the
city,
so
there
is
a
the
potential
for
for
this
to
be,
you
know
completely
funded
by
private
sources
and
the
conditions
we
are
not.
You
know,
merging
the
town,
we're
not
doing
anything
that
we'll
put
at
risk
the
town.
R
This
is
something
that
we
work
together
with
the
major
we
discuss
with
the
city
attorney
with
the
comptroller,
so
everybody
is
on
board
and
understands
that
the
risk
for
the
city
is
practically
zero.
R
We
have
a
program
to
attract
electric
vehicles
to
the
city
and
deploy
the
right
infrastructure,
we're
talking
about
deploying
two
wheel
and
four
wheel:
light
light-duty
electric
vehicles
and
charging
infrastructure
just
very
quickly.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
is
very
unique
and
it's
different.
R
For
example,
one
idea
that
we
are
running
by
some
ev
manufacturers
and
by
a
private
equity
fund
is
the
idea
of
separating
the
battery
from
the
vehicle
and
being
able
to
sell
second-hand
electric
vehicles
for
a
thousand
dollars,
literally
for
a
thousand
dollars
a
second
hand,
electric
vehicle
and
then
lease
the
battery
for
80
dollars
a
month.
So
we
are
in
in
that
way
we
would
be
able
to
put
second-hand
electric
vehicles
in
the
hands
of
the
low
and
moderate
income
community.
R
We're
also
looking
at
the
type
of
charging
infrastructure
that
we
could
have,
and
I
know
some
of
you
have
asked
for
a
fast
charging
infrastructure,
but
fast
charging
infrastructure,
for
example,
is
only
beneficial
for
luxury
cars,
so
we're
trying
to
identify
what
is
it
that
that
you
know
the
regular
car
electric
vehicle
car
can
need
in
terms
of
infrastructure,
so
we
can
actually
have
a
plan
to
deploy
infrastructure.
Eventually,
we
will
deploy
all
types
of
infrastructure
that
is
needed.
R
We
need
to
figure
out
a
way
of
doing
it
and
a
way
of
paying
for
it
alternative
to
fossil
fuels.
Not
everything
can
be
electrified.
We
need
to
figure
out
a
way
of
removing
fossil
fuels
from
some
activities,
but
that
is
you
know
for
future
undertaking
and
then
solid
waste
management.
R
We
want
to
implement
a
circular
economic
model
and
then
for
food
systems,
we're
also
working
with
the
community
trying
to
find
a
way
of
identifying
how
we
need
to
handle
the
food
scraps
and
food
donations
law
in
new
york
state
and
we're
talking
about
things
like
extended
responsibility
in
the
upstream
side
of
the
food
production,
those
who
actually
exceed
the
amount
of
waste
in
the
the
average
amount
of
waste,
for
example
in
restaurants.
R
Next
one
please,
where
are
these
several.
E
R
This
is
the
implementation
plan.
Don't
get
lost
with
the
colors.
Is
you
know,
10
years
of
work?
What
you
see
at
the
top
are
the
foundational
elements
of
the
green
new
deal
strategy.
This
is
what
we
need
to
make.
Whatever
is
underneath
happen.
We
need
to
have
a
climate
action
plan.
We
need
to
have
a
model
for
climate
justice,
we
need
to
have
the
workforce
and
the
financial
risk
mitigation
strategy
and
the
way
of
engaging
the
community.
R
We
have
a
plan
and
what
you
see
is
the
way
we're
going
to
implement
this
and
at
the
very
end
of
every
line.
What
you
see
is
the
deliverable
for
every
project
that
we
have
in
the
ataca
green
new
deal.
So
we
started
working
and
we
are
running
where
we
there
is
a
sense
of
urgency.
Things
are
going
to
change
in
washington.
Things
may
change
in
albany,
so
we
need
to
do
things
as
fast
as
possible.
R
Also,
climate
change
is
a
reality,
so
we
need
to
get
going
so
next
one
just
a
couple
of
slides
more.
I
promise
you
so
we're
working
with
the
community.
We
created
a
series
of
working
groups
because
I
believe
that's
the
only
way
we
can
get
this
done.
These
working
groups
are
associated
with
every
pillar
of
the
green
new
deal,
including
international
cooperation
that
we
haven't
talked
about
next
one,
please
much,
but
I'll
explain
in
a
second,
we
are
preparing
a
steering
committee.
R
I
believe
that
this
is
a
project
with
and
for
the
community,
so
I
believe
members
of
the
community
should
be
able
to
steer
the
green
new
deal
so
right
now
and
I
believe
she
joined
us
on
the
call
anna
sims
bartel,
who
will
I
am
proposing
for
chairwoman
of
the
steering
committee
and
then
every
other
person
in
the
steering
committee
nyanon
alex
travis
richard
rivera
ken
schlatter
susan
holland,
who
is
here
hector
chang
and
david
k
had
have
confirmed
that
they
want
to
be
part
of
the
steering
committee
and
we
are
awaiting
response
from
two
other
persons,
hoping
that
they
will
agree
to
be
part
of
the
steering
committee
of
the
green
new
deal.
R
We
believe
that
these
people
are
not
only
representative
of
different
parts
of
the
community,
but
they
also
have
the
understanding
necessary
to
guide
the
project,
which
is
on
one
hand
very
technical,
but
on
the
other,
very
social,
next
one
please
so
just
a
couple
of
things
that
we
have
done
on
june
24th,
the
major
presented
at
a
joint
un
sponsor
event
where
other
countries
were
talking
about
ratifying
their
commitment
to
the
paris
agreement.
R
Right
now,
if
you
go
to
the
united
nations
energy
compact
website,
you
will
see
that
the
only
city
in
the
entire
planet
that
has
committed
to
reduce
emissions
beyond
what
the
federal
government
is
doing
is
the
city
of
ita
we're
the
only
city
in
the
world.
Today
we
might
not
be
the
only
one
by
the
end
of
the
year,
but
right
now
we're
setting
the
pace
and
we're
setting
an
example
for
the
rest
of
the
country
and
perhaps
for
the
rest
of
the
world.
R
Because
of
this
there
has
been
relationships
with
different
countries
and
different
cities
in
different
countries.
The
major
share
the
stage
with
oh:
where
was
it
major
nambia?
I
think
yeah.
R
I
apologize,
but
was
it
was
very
interesting
conversation
you
know
about
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
the
united
states
and
in
africa
for
example.
Next,
please,
and
then
we
released
an
rfp
recently
to
hire
a
program
manager
that
could
you
know,
administer
the
project
for
energy
efficiency,
retrofitting
and
thermal
load,
electrification
for
initially
for
1
600
buildings,
but
on
in
phase
2
for
a
total
of
6
000
buildings
in
the
city
of
itaca.
R
It
is
the
most
ambitious
program
that
that
exists
in
the
united
states
for
removing
carbon
emissions
from
buildings.
This
is,
on
one
hand,
very
cool
to
be
honest,
but
on
the
other
you
know
it.
It
resulted
in.
You
know
a
lot
of
attention.
We
we
got
an
article
in
the
guardian
and
that's
the
fourth
article
that
was
printed
on
this
topic.
It
was
just
the
more
visible
one.
R
We've
been
working
with
the
local
media
too,
and
what
that
article
says
it's
very
interesting
and
I
want
to
clarify
they
are
not
saying
this.
Is
you
know
this
has
a
hundred
percent
chance
of
succeed?
What
they're
saying
is
it's
very
difficult
good
for
these
guys,
they're
gonna
need
all
the
help
they
can
get.
R
So
that's
pretty
much
what
we're
into
right
now
and
just
to
finish
so
what
we're
doing
right
now,
it's
a
project
that
you
know
we're
calling
1000,
because
we're
trying
to
do
1000
electrified
buildings,
create
1,
000
jobs,
electrify
1000
vehicles
and
have
1000
conversations
with
the
community
in
1
000
days.
B
B
That's
one
bite
at
a
time,
but
I
think
in
this
upcoming
budget
we
could
take
several
bites
out
of
this
elephant,
so
we're
developing
that
budget
right
now,
but
thought
this
was
an
important
time
to
get
an
update
from
luis
in
advance
of
that
any
questions
or
discussion.
Yes,
george.
Q
R
Q
My
excitement
surrounds
the
green
jobs
in
the
10
years.
I've
been
on
this
body.
The
city
has
reduced
the
amount
of
industrially
zoned
space
in
the
city
in
a
very
large
way.
Q
So
do
you
have
an
idea
of
how
much
space
these
industries
will
will
need
and-
and
is
there
a
target
for
for
how
many
and
how
many
good
paying
jobs
they'll
create?.
R
Yeah
we're
estimating
that
I
mean
when
we
talk
about
energy
efficiency,
retrofitting
and
thermal
load
electrification.
You
know
it's
a
lot,
we're
talking
about
a
number
of
things
that
need
to
happen.
For
example,
we're
talking
about
if
the
whole
city
is
electrified.
If
every
building
is
electric,
every
car
is
electric
there's
going
to
be
a
need
to
interact
with
the
electric
grid
so
grid.
Interacting
technologies
are
very
advanced
technologies.
We're
going
to
be
the
only
city
in
america
to
have
it
so
naturally
we're
going
to
attract
companies
that
are
developing
those
technologies.
R
We
are
installing
first
and
second
generation.
You
know
equipment
like
heat
pumps,
for
example.
So
it's
about
the
installation,
it's
about
the
maintenance,
it's
about
the
remote
administration
of
some
of
these
elements.
So
there's
going
to
be
software
industries,
there's
going
to
be
hardware
industries,
there's
going
to
be
construction,
we've
been
contacted
by
a
large
number
of
companies.
For
example,
there
is
this
company
that
is
willing
to
donate
an
incredible
amount
of
products,
so
we
can
have
also
solar
buildings.
They
actually
embed
solar
panels
in
the
in
the
cement,
so
they
can.
R
Actually,
you
know
offer
that
to
for
some
city,
so
some
buildings,
so
we
can
test
it
out
and
prove
that
it
works.
So
we've
been
contacted
already
by
a
large
number
of
organizations
and
companies
that
wanna
wanna
do
this.
So
I
I
don't
know
what
space
we
will
need.
I
don't
know
how
many
jobs
I
can
see
that
we're
gonna
go
over
a
thousand
in
the
whole
process
of
the
green
new
deal.
R
Our
objective
right
now
is
400
in
the
next
three
years,
and
it's
going
to
be
all
kinds
of
jobs:
the
program
for
workforce
development
that
we
are
proposing,
we're
actually
trying
to
develop
a
different
type
of
curriculum,
because
we
don't
want
people
to
have
to
transition
from
a
blue
collar
job
to
a
blue
green
color
job.
R
So
what
we
need
is
for
people
to
to
be
to
have
the
opportunity
to
continue
installing
solar
panels
if
that's
what
they
like,
but
also
to
move
into
software,
perhaps
and
manage
you
know,
installations
we
want
people
to
be
able
to.
You
know
choose
a
path,
so
the
workforce
development
program
that
we
are
trying
to
set
up
with
roots
of
success,
with
the
help
of
cornell
cooperative
extension,
is
really
for
people
to
develop
a
career
without
having
to
go
to
college.
R
I
I
You
know
I'd
love
it.
If
we
could
fold
in
our
our
existing
infrastructure
systems,
I
I
notice
you
have
the
installation
of
solar
panels,
one
of
the
things
living
up
in
in
our
area.
You
know
we
can
think
about
solar
panels,
but
we
also
need
batteries
right
because
at
night
and
during
the
winter
time
that
has
limited
use,
I'd
love
to
see
the
use
of
our
dams
and
reservoirs
as
an
energy
battery
that
might
be
available
if
we
could
be
able
to
find
funding
that
would
support
the
dredging
of
our
reservoirs.
I
R
No,
no,
it
is
for
a
program
manager.
What
we
did
was
to
raise
the
necessary
capital
to
to
upfront.
You
know
the
necessary
money
to
do
the
retrofit
and
electrification
in
all
of
these
buildings.
Also,
the
conditions
that
we're
trying
to
set
up
for
this
allows
us
to
create
a
financing
facility
to
develop
very
specific
financial
products.
So
we
could
have
zero
percent
interest
loans
to
members
of
the
community
and
in
some
cases
we
go
even
beyond
that
it
would
be
equivalent
to
negative.
R
We
can
actually
offer
you
know
an
economic
incentive
for
people
to
take
on
this
program.
We
are
asking
for
a
program
manager
which
is
a
company
that
could,
on
one
hand,
manage
that
amount
of
money
set
up.
A
financing
facility
create
the
financial
products.
What
the
city
is
offering
is
giving
them.
The
status
of
you
know
recognize
a
contractor
for
the
city
to
implement
the
vision
of
the
green
new
deal,
and
at
this
moment
there
is
no
hiring
we're
not
we
are
selecting
it's
just.
I
use
the
word
hiring.
R
We
are
selecting
a
program
manager.
I've
been
working
with
the
city
attorney
we're
going
to
develop
a
contract,
so
by
selecting
them
they
commit
to
help
us
implement
this
vision,
but
there
is
not
going
to
be
a
transfer
of
money
from
the
city.
R
What
we
want
to
do-
and
this
is
something
that
I've
been
talking
to-
the
major
is,
if
you,
when
you
get
money
from
private
equity,
it
comes
with
an
outside
cost
of
capital
and
that
cost
of
capital
at
the
end
represents
interest
rates.
If
you
were
to
develop
a
financial
product,
either
leasing
or
lending,
you
know
it's
going
to
have
a
cost.
R
So
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
you
can
do
to
reduce
risk,
so
we're
actually
implementing
all
of
them,
but
there
is
one
of
them,
which
is
a
long
guarantee
we
cannot
provide
as
a
city.
We
cannot
provide
a
long
guarantee
for
100
million
dollar
program,
because
the
city
will
be
on
the
hook
for
far
too
much
money.
So
we
went
to
nicer
that
we
went
to
the
state
and
the
state
has
a
program
where
they
can
create
a
loan
loss
reserve.
R
Then
there
is
the
element
that,
if
we
are
distributing
risk
that
way,
nyserda
takes
some
of
the
risk.
The
contractor
takes
some
of
the
risk
if
we
were
able,
as
the
city
to
create
something
similar
to
this
loan
loss
reserve
or
if
we
were
able
to
create
through
an
italki
electrification
fund.
You
know
to
have
enough
capital
so
that
capital
could
be
used
to
cover
the
interest
that
money
would
be
multiplied
by
20
in
terms
of
the
impact
it
could
have.
R
So
that
is,
we
have
a
right
now,
working
with
the
with
the
investors,
we
managed
to
bring
this
down
to
two
or
three
percent
of
a
hundred
million
dollars.
R
So,
if
you
think
about
in
those
terms,
then
you
know
perhaps
for
the
life
of
the
program,
just
in
interest
is
gonna,
be
I
don't
know
seven
million
dollars
out
of
for
for
the
hundred
million.
You
know
once
you
put
it
to
work,
what
if
we
were
to
provide
seven
million
dollars?
What
if
we
were
to
provide
one
million
dollars
to
cover
the
interest
rates
for
everybody
that
is
qualifies
as
low
and
moderate
income?
R
So
if
we
were
to
use,
for
example,
our
phones
to
to
cover
that
we
could
literally
offer
not
only
to
low
income
but
to
low
moderate
and
moderate
income
people,
zero
percent
interest
loans
for
retrofit
and
electrification?
It
is
something
that
minneapolis
is
doing
right
now.
Minneapolis
put
all
the
money
from
arpa
all
the
money
from
copied
relief
into
electrification,
so
they
are
developing
a
program
over
there.
So
it
is
a
complicated
matter.
I
I
don't
think
it's
easy
and
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
priorities
in
the
city.
R
Towards
this
program,
we
would,
we
would
multiply
the
impact,
at
least
by
20.,.
I
R
I
Love,
I
see
the
appeal
as
you
describe
it.
You
know.
Obviously
this
is
going
to
take
a
and
a
high
amount
of
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that,
because,
basically,
what
you're
proposing
is
once
selected,
it
would
be
a
a
city
backed
sole
source,
financer
of
energy
improvements
to
low
and
moderate
income
people
using
a
financing
scheme
which
is
not
a
traditional
loan
and
so
perhaps
does
not
come
with
the
standard.
I
Disclosures
and
education
of
the
individual
that
is
required
by
law
is,
if
you
were
to
go
and
get
a
traditional
loan
on
your
home,
you
know
how
how
does
a
sophisticated
per
or
how
does
someone
who
is
a
low
and
moderate
income?
Would
they
be
able
to
have
the
skills
to
understand
what
they
might
be
committing
themselves
to,
and
once
you
have
the
city
stamp
of
approval
on
that,
obviously
we're
giving
certain
guarantees
to
that
person
that
that
they're,
not,
incidentally,
perhaps
putting
their
situation
at
risk.
I
So
you
know,
I
think
it's
just
it's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
responsibility
and
obligation
that
comes
with
this
process.
I
was
unaware
that
the
city
was
putting
its
name
or
its
commitment
behind
doing
something
like
this,
so
I
was
kind
of
surprised
to
to
hear
about
the
rfp
having
gone
out,
and
you
know
I
I
feel
very
cautious
in
proceeding
in
this
way.
I
I
understand
and
I'd
like
to
learn
more,
but.
I
It
it,
I
hope
that
we
are
are
bringing
in
individuals
who
are
highly
expert
in
these
types
of
financial
structures
to
make
sure
that,
in
the
selection
process,
we
are
truly
providing
a
service
and
guarantee
to
our
community
members
that
in
participating
in
this,
that
they
aren't
taking
unnecessary
risk.
R
It
is
a
regulated
financing
facility.
It
has
to
comply
with
all
the
federal
requirements,
state
requirements.
What
we
don't
have
is
the
overhead
that
a
bank
or
a
credit
union
would
have,
but
it's
regulated
and
it's
gonna
be
open
book.
So
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
transparency
and
in
terms
of
education
and
outreach.
That
is
something
that
you
know.
We
are
definitely
working
on.
I
we
don't
have
the
program
fully
defined,
but
yeah
we're
working
on
on.
R
You
know,
educating
everybody,
because
it's
an
opt-in
program,
you
know,
nobody's
gonna,
be
forced
into
it,
so
we
are
gonna,
try
to
present
it
to
the
public.
We're
gonna
try
to
present
it
to
them.
Say
like
you
know,
we
can
do
this
and
we
can
do,
for
example,
zero
percent
interest
and
we're
gonna.
Try
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
everybody
understands,
but
I
I
do
hear
you
and
we'll
take
the
necessary
steps
to
to
make
sure
that
you
know
everything
is
done.
The
right
way.
I
Yeah,
so
definitely
if
you
could
share
that
information
and
and
just
a
process,
question
does
did
this
come
through
committee
as
as
a
pre-approved
decision
that
that
the
city
was
entering
into
this,
did
I
miss
it
is
my
question.
I
So
so
any
information
you
can
share,
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
be
transparent
about
what
it
is
exactly
that
the
city
is
is
proposing
and
putting
forward.
Thank
you.
R
There
is
anna
bartel
who
will
chair
the
steering
committee.
She
is
the
member
of
the
community
that
that
will
help
steer
the
green
new
deal.
The
the
proposed
scheme
is
that
the
steering
committee
would
be
that
watchdog
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
interacting
directly
with
common
council,
not
through
me
and
anna
bartel
has
agreed
to
to
chair
this
community-driven
steering
committee
and
she's
here,
and
I
believe
that
she's
prepared
like
a
minute
statement,
if
you
wanna.
I
I
A
S
I
just
wanted
to
say
hello
to
share
my
enthusiasm
for
being
part
of
this
process,
and
I'm
really
appreciating
hearing
both
the
you
know
really
energetic
vision,
and
you
know
this
whole
new
universe
of
possibilities
and
the
the
caution
and
the
wisdom
and
the
commitment
to
process,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
that's
a
big
piece
of
what
I'm
excited
about
in
this
work,
you
know
jointly
holding
our
feet
to
the
fire
of
our
own
commitments
that
include
transparency
and
participation
and
community
benefit
and
being
part
of
something
that
is,
you
know,
hopefully,
quite
literally,
going
to
change
the
world.
S
So
it's
an
exciting
time.
I'm
grateful
to
be
here
and
look
forward
to
more
conversations
with
all
of
you
as
we
move
ahead.
Thank
you.
B
J
Thank
you,
luis
yeah,
I'll.
Second,
my
colleagues
comments
there
about.
You
unloaded
an
awful
lot
of
information
for
us.
Some
of
it.
I
hadn't
expected
I'm
looking
forward
to
playing
the
tape
again
at
half
speed,
so
I
can
go
through
the
information,
but
I
think
it
is
important
to,
as
we've
just
said,
have
this
to
be
a
transparent
if
we're
working
with
the
community
to
make
sure
they
understand
through
us
or
by
themselves,
the
actual
process
to
to
become
involved
in
this.
J
As
we
know,
many
countries
have
set
all
these
very
laudable
goals
for
addressing
climate
change,
and
many
of
the
targets
have
been
missed.
So
one
of
the
things
I
would
like
to
emphasize
is
that
if
you,
if
you
have
these
targets-
and
I
really
like
those
specific
targets
that
you've
outlined-
I
think
it's
important
for
council
to
hear
on
a
regular
basis.
J
I
don't
know
what
that
is,
maybe
every
six
months
or
something
how
progress
is
going
and
what
the
roadblocks
might
be,
because
I
think
you
have
to
maintain
this
kind
of
enthusiasm
over
the
long
term,
and
that
means
showing
people
how
we're
doing.
I
think
so.
It's
really
important,
I
think,
for
everybody
to
get
a
sense
of
the
successes
and
the
hundred
million
dollars
sounds
great,
but
I
don't
know
how
that
was
raised,
what
it's
going
to
be
used
for
how
the
buildings
are
going
to
be.
J
So
I
think
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we
hear
regular
updates
on
on
these
programs
because
they're
exciting,
but
I
I
still
I'm
not
sure
kind
of
when
I
hear
creative
financial
instruments
I
get
nervous,
and
so
I
think
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
and
my
colleagues
understand
how
this
fits
in
with
the
city
operations.
Basically
so,
but
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
It's
really
interesting.
B
Yes,
I
think
this
is
yes.
We
should
continue
these,
if
not
monthly,
close
to
monthly.
I
think
in
the
five
months
you've
been
here.
This
is
your
third
presentation,
maybe
to
council,
so
we
will
continue
that
pace
and
and
possibly
add
some
committee
meetings.
In
case
you
get
bored
louise.
B
B
And
he
puts
one
of
those
together
like
every
week.
It's
really
amazing
the
the
productivity
we're
seeing
so
can't
wait
to
see
him
surrounded
by
more
stuff.
We'll
move
now
to
public
comment.
I'm
sorry!
Do
we
have
a
municipal
report?
Do
you
know
if
anybody
from
the
town
of
ithaca
is
here?
Okay,
then
we
can
go
now
to
public
comment.
B
First
is
susan
holland.
Susan
will
be
followed
by
micah
beck.
T
T
So
thank
you
for
having
me
I
hated
following
louise,
but
also
very
excited
about
working
with
him,
and
that's
not
what
I'm
going
to
speak
on
tonight,
but
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
that
historic
ithaca
has
been
working
on
sustainability
efforts,
because
preservation
is
sustainability
so
more
on
that
later,
but
I'm
actually
here
to
talk
about
the
east
hill
expansion,
the
historic
district
expansion
and
first,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
resolution
for
mary
tomlin
and
congratulations
to
her.
T
We
thank
her
for
her
collaborations
and
research
and
mentoring
with
historic,
ithaca
and
tonight.
In
fact,
I'm
asking
for
your
support
for
the
east
hill
historic
district,
which
was
a
project
that
we
worked
on
with
mary
tomlin
with
the
city
of
ithaca,
brian
mccracken,
the
planning
department
and
us,
of
course,
and
the
city
has
been
a
long
time
champion
of
preservation.
T
We're
a
certified
local
government.
Clg
is
the
terminology.
We
use
a
designation
from
the
new
york
state,
historic
preservation,
office
and
very
fitting.
In
1970,
we
had
one
of
the
first
very
first
preservation
ordinances
in
new
york
state
and
the
current
plan.
Ithaca
reiterates
that
commitment
to
preservation
specific
to
this
case
is
pages
78
and
79..
T
Cornell
university
has
one
of
the
country's
premier
preservation
programs
and
the
city's
vast
historic
fabric
is
often
the
basis
for
their
education,
while
they're
here
we're
also
the
host
site,
if
you
didn't
know,
for
the
statewide
preservation
conference
this
year-
okay,
it's
virtual,
but
it's
still
the
host
site
so
we'll
be
doing
some
exciting
ethical
things.
So
a
duty
of
the
ilpc,
as
you
know,
is
to
be
responsible
for
recommending
to
the
common
council,
the
designation
of
identified
structures
or
resources
as
individual
landmarks
and
historic
districts
within
the
city.
T
Therefore,
we
ask
you,
the
common
council,
to
support
this
work.
I
hope
you've
had
a
chance
to
read
the
rationale
and
I
hope
you've
also
had
a
chance
to
get
to
know
what
was
happening
out
there
and
maybe
take
a
tour
with
brian
of
the
properties.
It
gavely
definitely
gives
a
good
picture
of
why
it
should
be
done
so.
T
Bringing
the
19
properties
into
the
district
will
achieve
coherence
and
allow
the
property
owners
to
apply
for
incentives
such
as
the
historic
tax
credit
programs
that
are
now
available
to
the
property
owners
in
the
original
east
hill,
district,
historic
district
and
new
york
state.
If
you
didn't
know,
this
is
one
of
the
leader,
the
nation's
leaders
in
historic
tax
credits,
it
may
be
the
leader.
T
One
final
thought:
the
funding
from
the
new
york
state
historic
preservation
office
and
its
clg
was
from
the
clg
grant
program,
so
shippo
considered
this
research
worthy
of
funding
and
supported
the
goal
of
the
district's
expansion.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
support.
U
E
Good
evening
my
name
is
mike
beck,
I'm
addressing
you
also,
as
regarding
the
historic
district,
I
am
one
of
two
owners
of
321
north
aurora
street.
E
Thank
you,
hello,
good
evening.
I
am
also
addressing
you
as
regards
the
east
hill,
historic
district
expansion
proposal,
I'm
one
of
the
two
owners
of
321
north
aurora
street,
one
of
the
19
properties
affected
by
this.
My
brother
and
I
are
the
third
generation
of
our
family
to
own
this
property
and
cumulatively,
we
have
observed
and
preserved
this
building
for
more
than
a
third
of
its
roughly
150-year
lifespan.
E
So
we
feel
that
we
have
a
better
perspective
on
its
history
than
almost
anyone
living.
I
was
dismayed
to
observe
how
little
discussion
took
place
in
the
meeting
of
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee
before
this
proposal
was
passed
on
to
common
council.
I
find
that
the
arguments
put
forth
by
the
ithaca
landmarks
preservation
commission
fall
far
short
of
a
justification
for
including
these
properties
within
the
east
hill,
historic
district,
and
I
ask
that
these
arguments
be
scrutinized
rather
more
thoroughly
tonight
than
they
were
by
the
pedc.
E
E
Secondly,
it
is
argued
that
there
is
a
preponderance
of
architectural
value
within
these
19
properties,
but
similar
such
buildings
can
be
found
all
throughout
the
city
of
ithaca.
They
are
in
no
danger
and
they
do
not
need
an
imposed
preservation.
If,
when
william
henry
miller
is
in
danger,
you
can
preserve
his
buildings
individually.
E
Thirdly,
it
is
argued
that
there
is
upon
preponderance
of
historical,
important
persons
who
occupied
these
buildings
again.
The
majority
of
this
city
is
nearly
just
as
old
and
has
had
humans
living
and
working
in
it
for
just
as
long
that,
various
people
have
eaten
slept
and
worked
in
a
given.
Building
for
a
little
over
a
century
is
not
history,
those
facts
are
already
recorded
and
they
are
not
in
danger
of
being
lost.
E
If
then,
there
are
no
further
arguments,
and
I
have
heard
none
for
this
expansion,
then
these
buildings
do
not
need
an
intervention
by
this
government
in
order
to
be
preserved.
They
are
already
being
preserved
for,
as
tolkien
says,
in
his
silmarillion
of
bliss
and
glad
life.
There
is
little
to
be
said
before
it
ends
as
works.
Fair
and
wonderful,
while
they
still
endure
for
the
eyes
to
see,
are
their
own
record
and
only
when
they
are
in
peril.
Do
they
pass
into
song?
E

B
V
Hi,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
climate
change
and
how
we
need
to
take
extraordinary
steps
to
address
climate
change
and,
I
think,
there's
an
education.
V
V
V
V
V
Subsidized
these
industries,
the
meat
and
dairy
industries,
are
subsidized
by
our
federal
government
and
no
and
people
are
looking
the
other
way
as
to
how
not
only
when
the
poopoo
comes
off
these
farms
and
goes
downstream.
V
V
B
Thank
you
very
much,
we'll
now
go
to
our
online
participants.
W
Thank
you,
I'm
sarah
colada,
I'm
a
city
resident
and
I
work
professionally
in
the
clean
energy
space.
I'm
here
to
talk
about,
I
think,
a
green
new
deal.
I
spent
five
years
with
local,
firm,
tatum
engineering,
and
now
I
work
with
siemens,
smart
infrastructure,
a
global
company.
W
My
team
focuses
on
energy
efficiency
and
renewable
energy
projects
in
upstate
new
york.
We
work
with
colleges,
school
districts
and
municipalities,
I'm
also
appointed
by
the
tompkins
county
legislature
to
the
climate
and
sustainable
energy
advisory
board,
and
I
serve
as
chairperson
of
that
board
this
year,
so
I've
been
advocating
for
and
following
the
progress
of
the
ithaca
green
new
deal
since
it
was
proposed
and
approved
in
2019
and
have
been
following
case.
Our
our
advisory
board
has
been
meeting
and
hearing
updates
from
luis
since
he
was
came
on
board
with
the
city.
W
So
I
I
know
that
it's
amazing,
this
plan
that
he's
already
developed
that
is
so
broad
and
and
yet
so
deep
and
we
he
has
really
been
truthing
it
as
it's
been
developed,
he's
been
consulting
with
local
folks
with
academia
with
people
at
the
state
level
regionally
internationally,
and
so
I
think,
I'm
here
really
to
endorse
that.
This
is
the
right
approach.
We
truly
do
need
a
moonshot
of
initiative
and
it's
amazing
and
wonderful
that
we
get
to
work
on
it
here
in
ithaca.
W
He
has
great
confidence,
so
you
know
he's
already
accomplished
much,
but
there
does
need
to
be
staff
in
order
for
the
reporting
to
happen
in
order
for
the
community
engagement
in
order
for
common
council
to
be
regularly
brought
up
to
speed
for
the
public
to
know,
what's
going
on
and
have
the
opportunity
to
take
advantage
to
to
get
trained
earn.
You
know
jobs
and
good
incomes
to
improve
their
housing
stock,
their
their,
whether
it's
an
investment
asset
or
the
comfort
of
their
own
lifestyle.
W
W
We
do
need
to
look
at
what
we
can
carve
out
of
the
17.2
million
dollars
of
the
american
rescue
plan
funding,
and
we
need
to
also
start
thinking
about
this
as
a
10-year
initiative
that
year,
one
it
doesn't
have
any
budget
because
there's
no
history,
but
we
need
to
start
building
that
budget
this
year
in
2022
and
and
think
about
how
we're
going
to
work
with
that
going
forward.
So
I
just
want
to
sort
of
validate
celebrate
and
encourage
us
to
really
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
to
make
this
moonshot
a
reality.
X
Hello
graves
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening.
My
name
is
siobhan
hull
and
I
am
a
resident
both
of
the
greater
ithaca
area
and
a
student
at
cornell
university,
I'm
here
similarly
tonight
to
talk
about
the
ithaca
new
deal
as
a
member
of
climate
justice,
cornell
sunrise
ethica
and
as
a
member
of
our
community.
X
X
These
are
incredibly
lofty
goals
and
ones
that
I
am
so
glad
our
city
has
committed
to
achieving.
However,
as
with
anything,
they
will
remain
goals
without
a
plan
and
the
funding
to
implement
them.
The
proposals
from
the
director
of
sustainability
need
financial
support.
Community
programs
need
to
be
developed
and
funded
staff
need
to
be
supported.
Public
communication
efforts
need
to
be
undertaken.
X
X
My
ass
today
is
very
simple.
Please
include
the
ithaca
green
new
deal
in
the
upcoming
budget,
allocate
money
towards
staff
positions,
programs,
community
events,
public
communication.
I
am
urging
you
to
remember
the
commitments
that
you
made
to
this
community.
I
urge
you
to
hold
our
city
accountable
for
the
promises
that
it
has
made.
I
urge
you
to
prove
that
small
cities
can
make
a
difference
in
combating
climate
change
and
that
a
green
new
deal
is
not
some
unobtainable
fantasy.
X
We
are
a
city
of
great
ambition
and
drive.
That's
why
we
passed
the
in
the
degree
new
deal
in
the
first
place,
but
passing
it
was
just
the
first
step
in
a
very
long
journey
and
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go
passing
it.
The
green
new
deal
was
a
commitment
to
action,
not
just
to
ideals,
and
we
need
funding
to
make
that
happen.
H
H
These
funds
will
be
pivotal
and
the
appropriate
source
of
these
funds
could
and
should
come
from
the
federal
and
state
rescue
funds
which
are
partially
earmarked
for
build
back
better
for
lewis
to
succeed
by
2030.
He
will
need
to
implement
energy
efficiency
measures
and
develop
local
renewable
energy
resources
in
a
trained
workforce
to
build
and
maintain
them.
At
the
same
time,
lewis
will
need
to
develop
a
plan
for
integrating
these
clean
energy
resources
into
one
dedicated
and
equitably
clean
energy
system
for
ithaca
residents.
H
U
Thank
you.
John
next
up
is
hannah,
followed
by

I'll,

I
hate
this
job
because
I
have
so
much
trouble
to
nard.
Thank
you.
Y
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
okay?
Yes,
we
can
great.
Thank
you
well,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
I'm
hannah
and
I
am
a
senior
in
environmental
engineering
at
cornell
and
a
member
of
this
community-
and
I
am
also
in
climate
justice
cornell
and
I'm
here
to
speak
tonight
to
express
enthusiasm
about
this
green
new
deal
as
well
and
to
encourage
the
common
council
to
allocate
more
city
resources
to
its
implementation.
Y
Y
U
Thank
you.
Hannah
next
up
is
ava,
followed
by
irene
weiser.
Z
Hi
there,
if
it
makes
you
feel
any
better,
my
own
family
doesn't
really
know
how
to
pronounce
my
second
last
name.
So
I
think
you
did
a
great
job
yeah
I
mean
I
so
I'm
eva
I
have
lived
in
ethica
since
I
was
four
and
I
don't
really
have
much
to
add
to
what
everyone
else
has
said.
I'm
also
here
to
voice
my
support
for
the
green
new
deal
and
ask
that
funding
be
allocated
to
it.
Z
I
feel,
like
I've,
been
here
a
lot
doing
that,
so
I
don't
really
need
to
repeat
myself.
I
know
like
two
years
ago.
I
remember
so
vividly
asking
for
to
hire
another
staff
member
and
covered
put
a
wrench
in
everything,
and
now
we
have
lease,
which
is
amazing.
Z
That
has
been
an
amazing
next
step
and
luis
has
done
an
amazing
job
so
far,
and
we
just
need
to
like
continue
this
very
strongly
and
put
money
behind
it.
I
think
it's
there's
not
much
else
to
say
on
that.
I
just
want
to
be
here
and
that's
what
I
want
to
put
forward.
AA
Great
thanks,
hi
everyone
irene
weiser
here
from
the
town
of
caroline.
Many
of
you
know
me
I'm
no
longer
on
the
caroline
town
board.
I
am,
however,
continuing
in
my
role
as
the
coordinator
of
fossil
free
tompkins,
and
I
I,
along
with
sarah
colada,
serve
on
the
county's
sustainable
energy
advisory
committee.
AA
So
so
I
gotta
say
I
get
it
that
nobody,
none
of
you
expected
the
whirlwind
that
is
luis
aguiare
torres,
there's
so
much
happening
so
quickly
that
it's
hard
to
keep
track,
no
less
evaluated,
and
I
get
that
it's
scary,
especially
given
the
responsibility
you
feel
as
elected
officials
to
be
fiscally
responsible
and
to
protect
your
constituents,
but
here's
what
else
is
scary,
lumbering
along
with
the
business
businesses
usual
approach
in
the
face
of
the
accelerating
climate
emergency,
literally
code
red
for
humanity.
AA
AA
So
I
ask
that
you
trust
me
when
I
tell
you
that
luis
is
turning
heads
in
albany
in
a
good
way
in
a
way
that
has
people
at
the
state
thinking
that
his
plan
may
be
the
breakthrough
that
is
needed
to
clear
the
way
for
electrifying
all
the
buildings
in
new
york.
State
luis
is
guiding
us
on
a
course
through
uncharted
territory.
AA
AA
When
I've
spoken
to
you
previously,
I've
quoted
a
bumper
sticker
that
that
haunts
me
and-
and
it
says
the
climate
is
changing
faster
than
we
are,
I
think,
with
luis's
leadership
in
the
green
new
deal.
We
have
a
change.
We
have
a
chance
to
change
that
and
to
lead
the
state
and
perhaps
even
the
country.

U
Thank
you.

next

AC
Okay,
my
name
is
elisa
evert
and
I'm
a
resident
of
the
town
of
caroline
and
though
I'm
not
currently
an
ithaca
resident.
I
grew
up
in
cornell
heights
and
have
lived
in
the
ithaca
area
for
66
of
my
76
years.
AC
I
might
add
that
what
happens
in
ithaca
affects
all
of
us
who
live
in
the
surrounding
towns
and
it's
night,
it's
not
hyperbole
to
suggest
that
your
decisions
can
in
fact
affect
the
future
of
this
planet.
It
seems
that
the
recent
catastrophic
weather
events
have
finally
begun
to
wake
people
up
to
the
reality
of
climate
change.
AC
We
need
our
governments
at
all
levels
to
act
boldly
to
make
ideas
like
the
green
new
deal
a
reality
now
before
it
is
too
late.
I
urge
the
ithaca
city
council
to
allocate
the
necessary
funds
to
support
the
ithaca
green
new
deal.
I
applauded
the
city's
adoption
of
a
green
new
deal
some
time
ago
was
encouraged
by
the
creation
of
the
sustainability
director
position
and
have
greeted
with
enthusiasm
the
city's
choice
to
fill
that
position.
AC
AD
Hi,
can
you
guys
hear
me?
Yes,
I
don't
see
mine
okay,
my
name
is
lisa
marshall.
I
am
the
program
director
of
heat,
smart
tompkins.
If
you
guys
don't
know,
heatsmart
tompkins
is
the
very
first
as
far
as
I
know,
grassroots
building
electrification
program
ever
conceived.
It
is
my
this
is
our
program
that
started
here
in
thompson's
county
that
nycerta
based
their
statewide
heat,
smart
programs
on
what
we
were
doing
here
and
it's
my
great
privilege
to
be
the
lead
administrator
for
that
program.
AD
So
what
we
do
at
heatsmart
is
try
to
work
on
helping
people
to
electrify
their
homes
and
buildings
with
heat
pumps
and
weatherization,
and
we
work
with
people
on
an
individual
basis.
We
also
advocate,
at
the
state
level
for
policies
that
help
make
that
easier,
more
equitable,
more
affordable,
more
accessible
to
to
all
homeowners,
and
we
have
had
tremendous
success.
AD
That
said,
with
all
our
tremendous
success
that
leads
the
state
that
leads
the
nation
here
in
tompkins
county.
We
are
constantly
coming
up
against
the
fact
that
we
cannot
go
fast
enough.
We
cannot
scale
the
building
electrification
in
a
way
that
meets
the
challenge
of
the
time
and
both
as
heat
smart
program
director
as
a
state
leadership
team,
member
of
mothers
out
front
and
a
member
of
the
renewable
heat
now
campaign
that
works
and
advocates
in
new
york.
AD
We've
been
asking
ourselves
question
this
question
for
years:
how
do
we
get
to
scale?
How
do
we
do
this
faster,
more
affordably,
more
equitably?
We
need
vision,
some
we
need
vision,
we
need
capital
and
we
need
workforce
and
we
need
community
engagement.
AD
So
what
luis
has
presented
tonight,
I
will
admit
I
can
understand
the
concern
on
the
members
of
the
common
council
and
it's
it's
all
happening
extremely
fast.
It's
big
sums
of
money
that
none
of
us
is
comfortable
with,
and
it
is
the
only
thing
that
I
can
imagine
that
will
accomplish
the
goals
of
the
deal
in
terms
of
building
electrification
and
on
the
other
things
that
we
talked
about.
But
building
electrification
is
the
number
one
it
is
just
so
incredibly
important.
One
thing
luis
didn't
have
time
to
go
over
in
his
presentation.
AD
Is
that
this
isn't
just
a
climate
solution.
It's
a
it's
a
comfort
solution
for
the
people
who
live
in
the
building
a
well
insulated,
well,
weatherized,
building
with
a
heat
pump,
heating
and
cooling
system
provides
a
building
that
is
much
more
healthy
with
healthy
air
quality,
comfort,
sustainability,
longevity
of
the
building
structure.
It
is
a
building
where,
if
the
power
goes
out,
you're
still
going
to
be
more
comfortable
for
hours
and
hours,
even
without
power.
Because
of
the
weatherization
of
the
buildings,
the
good
windows,
the
sea,
the
air
sealing
et
cetera,
it's.
AD
AD
Thank
you
so
much,
I'm
just
wrapping
up
to
say
that
this
is
something
that
we
are
extremely
excited
about
and
very
much
in
support
of.
It
will
take
a
lot
of
community
engagement.
We
need
to
have
all
voices
at
the
table
and
we
need
to
keep
every
everybody
accountable
and
we're
here
to
help
accomplish
this,
this
lofty
and
important
goal.
AD
AD
AE
Thank
you.
My
name
is
zach
nguyen
two
billion
dollars,
or
a
hundred
million
dollars
is
quite
an
insane
figure,
and
for
that
price,
could
the
city
not
buy
a
nuclear
reactor
and
then
just
have
cheap
co2
free
power?
AE
I
also
am
curious.
How
can
this
reimagining
process
continue
when
it
is
police
reform?
That
is
the
exact
reason
why
law
enforcement
is
leaving
the
community
to
serve
in
other
jurisdictions.
AE
The
police
reimagination
has
effectively
reversed
the
flow
of
officers
into
the
county
in
what
the
sheriff
called
an
unprecedented
situation.
AE
AE
AE
I
also
am
curious,
with
overdoses
in
tompkins
county
having
doubled
over
the
previous
five
years.
What
have
effect
has
low
ipd
staffing
had
on
first
responder
narcan
administration
response
time
when
someone
is
overdosing
and
not
breathing
minutes
and
even
seconds
can
count,
and
I
am
curious
if
the
elevated
number
of
overdoses
has
translated
into
a
corresponding
increase
in
overdose
deaths
are
people
dying
who
would
not
be
otherwise
dying
before
the
police
reimagination?
AE
I
also
had
addressed
a
number
of
questions
to
the
council,
the
police,
reimagination
committee,
the
police
board
and
the
thompson
county
legislature,
and
none
of
those
questions
have
been
addressed
so
far,
and
I
am
curious
if
you
believe
the
makeup
of
the
committee
as
it
stands
is
appropriate,
especially
the
woman
named
yasmin
rashid,
who
has
personally
led
roadblocks.
AE
I
believe
I
showed
you
evidence
of
that
and
committed
what
essentially
our
crimes
in
the
name
of
justice,
and
I
am
wondering
if
that
is
an
appropriate
person
to
be
serving
on
a
police
reform
committee.
I
yield
the
remainder
of
my
time.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
wonderful
evening.
AF
Good
evening
my
name
is
kareem
beers.
I
live
on
west
hill,
two
houses
up
from
george
I'm
here
not
only
as
a
resident,
but
also
as
a
father
of
two
young
boys
and
someone
who
works
in
climate
change,
education
and
mitigation
in
ithaca
and
the
surrounding
areas
with
get
your
greenback
tompkins
we're
in
a
climate
emergency.
AF
Every
community
needs
to
make
bold
decisions
to
curb
carbon
emissions,
to
reduce
the
worst
impacts
from
climate
change,
and
I
commend
the
city
of
ithaca,
the
mayor,
the
common
council
for
boldly
taking
on
the
green
new
deal
to
become
carbon
neutral
by
2030.
So
now
we
must
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
and
heart
is
or
are.
Please
support
the
implementation
of
the
green
new
deal
generously.

B
Thank
you,
we'll
move
now
to
the
and
with
appreciation
for
all
of
the
speakers.
B
Thanks
julie
with
appreciation
for
all
the
speakers,
of
course,
the
the
budget
process
will
start
in
earnest
next
month.
I'm
still
working
with
all
the
department
heads
to
put
together
the
draft
budget,
but
we
are
looking
to
include
as
many
of
the
priorities
of
the
if
the
greener
deals
we
can
for
all
the
reasons
mentioned
by
the
speakers
tonight,
I'll
ask
now.
B
If
there's
anyone
from
council
who'd
like
to
enjoy
privilege
of
the
floor,
and
I
will
first
say
to
council,
you
know
if
the
meeting
seemed
presentation
heavy
tonight
it
was,
and
it's
my
fault-
that
it's
8
30
and
we
haven't
yet
got
to
the
voting
items.
B
That
was
in
part
because
we
had
a
lot
of
presentations
of
folks
who
wanted
to
come
before
council
and
I
wanted
to
stack
them
at
this
month's
meeting,
because
next
month
and
the
month
after
we'll
be
very
busy
with
the
budget
and
also
because
we
had
very
few
voting
items
so
not
more
than
48
hours
ago
did.
I
say
I
hope
I
did
not
jinx
us
to
julie
and
julie
said
you
probably
did
just
jinx
us
for
a
very
long
meeting
and,
as
usual,
julie
was
right,
so
privilege
of
the
floor.
L
It
took
a
while,
but
I
appreciate
the
presentations
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
our
fallen.
Comrade
our
daily
departed,
steve
smith,
who
left
us
for
new
york
city.
L
Might
as
well
be
no,
I
I
I
I
miss
him.
He
didn't
speak
a
whole
lot,
but
when
he
did,
you
knew
that
he
really
cared
about
a
topic
and
I
really
was
getting
enjoying
getting
to
know
him
a
lot
better
over
the
past
few
years
and
it's
a
shame,
he's
gone,
but
I
appreciate
his
work
and
his
friendship
and
we'll
miss
him.
Thank
you.
AH
B
Smith
is
still
alive
and
well,
but
has
yes
is,
is
in
the
process
of
moving
into
a
home
in
new
york
city,
with
his
wife
genevieve,
who
was
accepted
to
a
doctoral
program
at
columbia.
B
B
Q
Q
I
consider
her
a
mentor,
much
different
style,
but
he's
just
a
real
remarkable
person,
and
I
thank
you
mary
for
everything
you've
given
to
this
city
and
to
all
the
people
who
spoke.
I
I
appreciate
your
enthusiasm
and
those
of
you
who
live
outside
the
city
we'd
be
happy
to
take
your
donations
at
the
chamberlain's
office
to
help
us
with
our
tax
tax
burden.
Thank
you.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
so
we
can
move
now
to
consent
agenda.
Would
anyone
like
to
move
the
consent
agenda
move
by
dab
second
by
graham
all
those
in
favor
and
that
carries
unanimously
so
go
now
to
the
city,
administration
committee
and
chairman.
AH
Therefore,
we
resolve
that
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
ithaca
is
authorized
and
directed
to
submit
an
application
for
funding
to
the
new
york
state
department
of
transportation,
in
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
the
transportation
alternatives
program
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
two
million
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
about
approval
of
the
request
to
enter
into
and
execute
a
project
agreement.
Be
it
further
resolve
that
contingent
upon
award
of
the
funds
common
council
authorizes
the
establishment
of
capital
project
888
to
pay
in
first
instance,
100
of
the
federal
and
non-federal
shares.
AH
Be
it
further
resolve
that
contingent
upon
award
of
the
funds
that
some
not
to
exceed
550
000
is
appropriated
from
cereal
bonds
made
available
to
cover
the
cost
of
participation
in
the
project.
Be
it
further
resolve
that
the
total
project
cost
shall
not
exceed
2
million
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand,
with
the
understanding
the
breakdown
of
funds
to
be
approximately
two
million
two
hundred
in
federal
transportation
and
five
hundred
and
fifteen
in
serial
bond
financing
to
be
administered
by
superintendent
of
public
works.
AH
Be
it
further
resolve
that
the
federal
and
non-federal
shares
if
they
exceed
the
common
council,
will
convene
as
soon
as
possible
to
appropriate
the
excess?
Be
it
further
resolved
that
the
mayor
is
authorized
to
execute
all
the
necessary
agreements?
Superintendent
of
public
works
is
authorized
to
execute,
certifications
and
reimbursement.
Requests
requests
be
further
resolved
that
a
copy
of
the
resolution
be
filed
with
new
york
state
commissioner
of
transportation,
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
resolution
shall
take
effect
immediately
and
so
moved.
B
Thank
you
second
about
crime,
discussion.
AH
AI
AI
So
I
think
we
can
get
away
with
just
carrying
about
ten
percent
of
the
project
costs.
AH
Right,
so
we
were
pretty
excited
about
that
to
hear
that
at
city
administration
we
left
the
language
and
the
resolution
the
way
that
it
is
because
again
it's
just
sort
of
a
verbal
agreement.
So,
regardless
of
how
that
works,
the
city
would
still
have
to
bond
the
money,
and
then
we
could,
just
you
know,
potentially
get
that
money
reimbursed
from
park.
So
we
can
leave
the
resolution
the
way
that
it
is,
but
we
just
want
to
thank
tim
for
working
with
new
york
state
parks
in
order
to
get
us
that
offsetting
cost.
AH
This
is
an
incredibly
small
amount
of
money
for
a
really
wonderful
project.
So
thank
you
tim
for
doing
that.
Yeah.
AI
B
Yes,
cynthia.
I
Hey
tim,
congratulations
by
the
way.
I
know
you've
been
working
on
this
for
forever,
so
I'm
really
excited.
Can
you
just
confirm
to
us
that
the
three
bridges
have
been
funded
then
as
part
of
this
program?
I
I
see
two
bridges
mentioned
in
the
memo,
but
the
third
bridge
that
connects
csum
alone
that
is
already
secured
and
underway
correct.
AI
That
is
correct,
yeah
that
one
has
been.
We
received
the
same
funding
source
a
couple
years
ago,
so
that
is
in
final
design
right
now,
we'll
go
out
to
bid
this
year
and
we'll
be
in
construction
next
year
to
build
that
trail
across
the
flood
control
channel,
approximately
in
line
with
sea
slam
alone,
and
then
this
project-
that's
in
the
resolution
tonight,
would
then
extend
from
essentially
that
point
down
the
east
side
of
the
flood
control
channel.
AI
There's
a
bridge
down
near
the
fish
ladder
that
needs
to
get
across
the
water,
and
then
it
goes
through
the
nagundo
woods
area
and
then
there's
a
second
bridge
kind
of
behind
home
depot.
That
would
make
the
connection
to
the
tr,
the
town
of
ithaca's
project,
the
gateway
trail
that
will
open
the
bridge
to
nowhere
and
provide
the
kind
of
back
door
access
in
the
buttermilk
falls
state
park.
I
AI
I
Wow,
this
is
incredibly
exciting,
I'm
I'm
absolutely
thrilled
and
I
definitely
look
to
you
as
the
person
who
made
all
of
this
happen.
So
thank
you.
AH
AI
I
think
so
we've
been
very
successful
with
this
program.
I
think
it
hits
all
the
major
points
that
they're
looking
for
and
we've
got
positive
feedback
on
a
pre-application
just
yesterday,
so
I
think
so
and
also
with
our
connection
with
state
parks,
I
think
they'll
help
put
a
little
extra
support
behind
it
as
well.
A
O
Thanks
and
thanks
tim
for
sharing
that
good
news
tonight,
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
we
talked
frequently
about
the
black
diamond
trail
as
a
recreational
trail
that
connects
us
with
parks.
But
we've
been
talking
about
sustainability,
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
there
are
many
uses
of
the
trail
people
get
to
work.
People
get
to
school,
so
the
trail
is
used
for
multiple
purposes,
and
I
believe
it
also
addresses
some
of
our
sustainability
concerns.
Thanks
tim.
AI
AI
AH
4.2
is
an
adjustment
of
the
managerial
compensation
plan,
wellness
program
and
updated
sick
leave
buyout.
This
is
kind
of
a
complicated
resolution.
I'll
try
to
read
it
as
best
I
can
here,
whereas
in
january
2015
the
city
implemented
a
new
management
compensation
plan
which
sought
to
address
internal
equity
concerns.
The
city's
ability
to
attack
and
retrain
retain
quality
talent
and
compression
issues
that
resulted
from
a
lack
of
salary
increases
in
multiple
prior
years
and
whereas
it
is
necessary
to
periodically
update
this
management
compensation
plan.
AH
And
whereas
council
authorized
funding
in
the
2020
city
budget
to
update
the
compensation
plan,
as
recommended
by
human
resources
and
whereas
common
council
subsequently
revoked
the
adoption
of
the
2020
plan
due
to
the
financial
uncertainties
created
by
kovid.
And
whereas
the
federal
stimulus
payments
have
improved
stability
in
the
face
of
those
uncertainties.
AH
And
whereas,
in
the
face
of
the
pandemic,
the
city
changed.
Health
insurance
options
for
management
and
confidentials
to
establish
the
platinum
plan
as
the
standard
health
option
for
those
employees.
And
whereas
in
summer,
2021
csea
agreed
to
labor
contract
establishing
the
platinum
plan
as
the
standard
health
insurance
option
for
membership.
AH
AH
In
turn,
increasing
the
city's
annual
borrowing
costs
and
whereas
the
new
labor
contract
and
the
csea
ratified,
said.
Post-Retirement
liabilities
resulted
in
a
change
to
sick
leave,
buyout
polity
policies
limiting
the
amount
of
time,
the
sick
time
that
can
be
used
in
retirement
and
whereas,
as
a
matter
of
fiscal
prudence
and
internal
equity
with
other
bargaining
units,
it
is
necessary
that.
AH
Buyout
policies
adjust
in
parallel
with
cse
contract.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
current
management
compensation
plan
be
amended
by
deleting
the
entry
level
step
one
and
adding
a
new
step.
Five
that
produces
a
20
spread
effective
july
1
2021,
as
reflected
in
the
spreadsheet,
included
entitled
managerial
employee
grade
plan.
AH
Be
it
further
resolved
that
on
july
2021,
all
managerial
staff,
who
were
on
step
5
of
the
2019
plan
on
june
30th,
2020
she'll,
move
to
step
five
of
the
2021
plan.
Be
it
further
resolve
that
on
july
2021
managerial
staff,
who
were
below
step
five,
shall
be
slotted
into
the
salary
step
that
most
closely
reflects
their
current
salary
and
shall
continue
to
move
one
salary
step
annually
on
their
respective
anniversary
dates
in,
according
with
existing
procedure,
be
it
further
resolve
the
fringe
benefits
for
managerial
personnel
policies
shall
be
amended.
AH
My
computer
just
went
crazy
in
2021,
but
in
succeeding
full
years
at
100
value,
subject
to
achieving
applicable
targets.
As
provided
in
the
contract
to
which
confidential
compensation
and
benefits
is
standardly
tracked,
and
I
so
move.
AH
B
AH
I
think
that's
it
for
voting
items,
just
a
quick
reminder
that
we
have
a
committee
of
the
whole
on
september
22nd,
which
will
be
preceded
by
a
public
hearing,
and
then
we
will
have
a
discussion
and
a
vote
on
the
5g
design
guidelines
at
that
meeting.
And
then
hopefully
we
will
have
a
super
short
city
administration
committee
meeting
as
well
that
evening
yeah
and
now
I
just
jinxed
it
out
loud,
like
like
we
did
this
evening.
B
Yes,
thank
you
for
for
hanging
in
we
know
it's
been
an
extraordinarily
busy
week
at
tc3
as
well
steve
for
the
controllers
report.
AJ
AJ
Is
here
definitely
a
lot
of
development
happening
on
the
budget
for
us
in
our
department,
but
so
over
the
next
month
we
really
go
through
the
budget
development
and
we
have
for
the
22
budget.
We
have
already
had
the
departmental
budget
submitted
to
us
and
we
are
currently
meeting
with
each
department.
We
have
a
handful
left.
AJ
We
should
be
done
with
that
process
by
the
end
of
next
week.
Capital
project
review
committee
continues
their
work
on
capital
projects
that
have
been
submitted
so
hopefully
we'll
get
that
approved
here
in
the
next
couple
weeks
as
well
and
we'll
have
a
special
special
meeting
the
end
of
september,
to
talk
about
those
projects
that
have
been
recommended
for
approval
on
the
22
budget.
So
the.
AJ
AJ
AJ
Like
that,
in
addition,
we
have
heard
from
new
york
state
retirement
that
our
pension
costs
for
2022
will
go
down
a
bit.
They
take
a
look
at
the
average
costs
and
based
on
their
averages.
It
looks
like
the
regular.
AJ
For
our
direct
costs,
because
our
percentages
come
out
a
little
different
because
we
have
different
options:
the
what
they
put
out
from
new
york
state
pension
is
the
averages
over
over
the
full
full
cost.
So
we
will
get
those
actual
percentage
changes
here,
hopefully
in
the
next
week
or
so
so
that
obviously
is
good
news
that
the
pension
system,
costs
and
contribution
for
the
city
will
be
re
going
down
for
us-
and
you
know,
new
york
state
retirement
system
is
one
of
the
best
and
largest
pension
pension
systems
in
the
united
states.
AJ
So
definitely
good
news
to
hear
that
lower
rates
are
reflective
of
the
investments
that
they
had
over
the
last
year
period,
ending
331.21,
so
they
did
a
very
good
job
in
investing
in
our
funds
and
so
that
helps
lower
our
costs.
So
a
couple
larger
of
larger
drivers
of
our
cost
for
the
22
budget
coming
in
a
little
lower
than
anticipated,
so
that
will
help
definitely
help
us
as
we
try
to
fund
the
remaining
portions
of
our
22
budget
on
the
21
activity.
Just
a
couple
things
quickly.
Sales
tax
collections
continue
to
increase.
AJ
AJ
I
should
say
that
we
still
have
many
concerns
with
sales
tax
going
forward,
including
unemployment
supply
and
demand,
also
the
delta
variant
and
inflationary
factors,
and
so
we'll
have
to
see
how
those
things
play
into
our
future
revenue
collections
in
this
area,
but
certainly
worried
a
little
bit
about
the
rising
covet
cases
that
we're
seeing
currently,
obviously
we're
at
the
highest
point
that
we
have
been
since
the
pandemic
started.
So
we'll.
AJ
Our
local
economy,
as
we
move
forward
on
building
permits,
we
have
collected
a
million
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
building
permits
to
date.
We're
still
about
I
mean
if
you're
looking
at
the
calendar
and
comparing
that
the
budget
were
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
off
of
budget
at
this
point
in
time.
But
these
things
come
in
and
lump
sum,
so
it's
difficult
to
really
take
a
look
at
that
and
make
any
estimates.
AJ
But
definitely
things
have
picked
up
since
construction
season
opened
up
here
in
in
april,
and
I
think
that
will
do
it
for
me
tonight.
AJ
Parking
is
parking,
revenues
continue
to
be
a
slow
collection
for
us.
We
have
collected,
I
think,
about
a
million
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
date
we're
off
budget.
By
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
had
anticipated.
AJ
You
know
many
of
the
changes,
especially
with
the
green
garage
development,
but
there's
a
lot
more
construction
activity
and
it
was
obviously
the
first
part
of
the
year
was
very
slow
in
collections.
So
we
have
been
making
ground
slowly
over
the
last
couple
months
and
we
probably
will
continue
to
do
that.
But
we'll
have
to
see
how
that
plays.
E
AJ
I
believe
senate
seneca
garage
is,
we
haven't
seen
a
big
increase,
I
believe
in
the
keuger
garage
dryden
road
has
also
seen
an
increase,
but
obviously
that
really
changes
based
on
student
activity,
so
yeah.
Q
AJ
J
B
Good
evening,
yes,
good
to
see
you
I'll
see
you
four
or
five
times
again
tomorrow,
as
is
our
custom
these
months
and
we'll
go
to
seth
for
the
planning
economic
development
committee.
C
So
first
up
was
the
the
resolution
I
mentioned
from
the
ithaca
housing
authority.
This
came
from
lindsey
hendricks,
just
pointing
out
to
us
that
I
guess
there
was
a
parcel
that
wasn't
included
in
the
sale
so
that
was
removed
in
the
new
resolution.
I
don't
know
julie.
Were
you
looking
for
a
vote
or
just
sort
of
consensus
that
this
is
okay,
that
we
we
use?
This
version.
U
Yeah
lindsay
had
asked
us
to
give
her
a
certified
resolution
corrected
with
that
property
off
of
it,
and
I
didn't
feel
comfortable
doing
that
without
at
least
the
unanimous
consent
of
common
counsel.
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
vote
on
it
again
per
se,
but
I
need
to
have
you
acknowledge
that
that
was
basically
a
typo.
U
We
were
sent
the
wrong
version
of
the
legislation
for
the
agenda
and
I'm
happy
to
correct
that,
with
your
permission,.
I
C
And
then
the
only
thing
we
have
for
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee
is
5.1.
The
expansion
of
the
local
east
hill,
historic
district
to
include
a
number
of
properties,
and
I'm
not
going
to
name
all
of
them.
But
they're
on
east.
C
On
aurora
street
north
aurora
street
east
court
street
and
lynn
street
I'll
try
to
summarize
this
as
best
I
can
the,
whereas
the
ithaca
landmarks
preservation
commission,
his
recommended
designation
of
individual
landmarks
and
districts
of
historic
and
cultural
significance,
whereas
they've
held
a
public
hearing
for
the
purpose
of
considering
a
proposal
to
expand
the
local
east
hill
historic
district
to
include
the
aforementioned
properties,
whereas
this
is
a
type
2
action
under
seeker
and
no
further
environmental
review
is
required.
C
Whereas
the
municipal
code
states
that
the
common
council
show
within
90
days
of
said,
recommendation,
designate,
approve,
disapprove
or
refer
back
to
the
commission
for
modification,
the
recommendation
designation
and
whereas
set
forth
the
municipal
code.
The
planning
board
shall
file
a
report
with
the
council
with
respect
to
the
relation
of
such
designation
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
The
zoning
law
projected
public
improvements
and
any
plans
for
renewal
of
the
site
or
area
involved.
C
A
copy
of
the
planning
board's
report
has
been
reviewed
by
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee.
Now,
therefore,
be
a
resolve
that
the
ithaca
common
council
finds
that
the
designation
of
these
19
properties
will
not
conflict
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
Existing
zoning
projected
public
improvements
or
any
plans
for
renewal
of
the
site.
An
area
involved,
be
it
further
resolved
at
the
east
hill.
C
By
virtue
of
its
unique
location,
are
singular
physical
characteristics
and
is
an
area
which
constitutes
a
distinct
section
of
the
city
by
reason
of
possessing
those
qualities.
That
would
satisfy
such
criteria
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
ithaca
common
council
I'll
move
this
as
approved.
So
I
mean
we
can
discuss.
It,
approves
the
expansion
of
the
local
east
hill,
historic
district
to
include
the
aforementioned
properties
under
section
228
3
of
the
municipal
code
and
iso
move.
B
Thank
you
so,
second,
second,
by
dachshund,
discussion.
C
So
I'll
just
say
you
know
I,
I
didn't
really
know
much
about
the
history
of
this
part
of
the
of
the
city,
but
I
did
I
did
meet
with
brian,
and
I
took
a
tour
and
duckson
and
I
did
the
same,
and
you
know
brian
kind
of
laid
out
the
rationale
for
why
we
would
want
to
preserve
the
properties
in
this
in
this
neighborhood,
mainly
having
to
do
with
the
architectural
style
of
many
of
the
buildings,
and
you
think,
particularly
the
italian
eights
that
are
down
along
court
street
right.
C
There
are
really
impressive,
and
also
just
the
the
history
of
the
individuals
that
were
involved
with
the
the
design
of
the
buildings
and,
in
particular
you
know,
william
henry
miller
and
other
architects
in
town
that
had
kind
of
prominent
architects
at
the
time
that
designed
the
building.
So
you
know,
after
taking
the
tour
and
kind
of
looking
at
it.
I
kind
of
saw
the
justification
that
it
was
similar
enough
to
the
rest
of
the
historic
district
that
justified
the
expansion.
So
I
supported
this
in
committee
and
I'll
vote
for
it
tonight.
B
Thank
you,
george.
Q
I
guess
I
have
a
question
for
brian
or
for
anybody
else
that
knows
more
about
it
than
I
do.
What
would
be
the
downside
of
this
for
a
property
owner.
AG
AK
AK
AK
The
projects
that
are
denied
the
the
property
owner
knows
going
in
that
they're
not
going
to
be
approved
and
the
reasons
why
and
then
that
ability
to
or
the
lack
of
the
ability
to
demolish
the
property.
K
AL
As
the
liaison
to
the
ilpc,
I've
been
involved
in
these
conversations
for
several
months,
and
I
had
a
private
email
exchange
with
micah
a
few
days
ago,
mr
beck
a
few
days
ago,
but
I
think
his
questions
are
worth
addressing
and
I'm
particularly
interested
in
the
question
of
the
merit
of
preserving
or
naming
an
entire
district,
rather
than
the
particularly
special
properties
within
the
district.
AL
I
think
he's
right
that
not
all
of
the
19
properties
are
that
great,
and
so
I
think
it's
worth
making
public
with
the
making
public.
Clearly
what
the
reason
is
for
having
a
district,
rather
than
designating
those
properties.
AK
AK
The
reason
why
you
look
at
them
as
a
whole
is
their
impact
is
greater
as
a
whole
than
it
is
as
an
individual
property,
so
with
individual
landmarks,
their
their
setting
can
change
dramatically
over
time,
but
with
a
historic
district,
you
maintain
that
overall
cohesive
feeling
of
an
of
a
historic
environment,
the
19
properties
in
the
expansion
area,
I
would
say
17
out
of
the
19
of
them-
meet
at
least
one
of
the
criteria
for
local
designation
on
their
own
merit,
either
architecturally
or
with
their
association
with
significant
local
people
or
with
their
association
with
significant
local
themes.
AM
You
know
brian,
thank
you
for
the
for
this
and
I'm
sorry
if
I
missed
it,
but
I
was
trying
to
find
something
that
would
help
understand
the
the
sense
of
how
these
some
of
these
are
adjacent
to
the
district
currently
and
I'm
just
wondering
how
they
were
not
included
originally
or
why
is
there
any
history
that
can
help
us
understand
that.
AK
So
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
started
this
project
about
three
years
ago.
Is
I
couldn't
find
a
justification
for
why
these
properties
were
excluded?
Some
of
them
are
literally
10
feet
away
from
an
adjacent
property.
That's
in
the
east
hill,
historic
district.
They
have
a
similar
architectural
style,
a
similar
period
of
development,
some
of.
AK
J
It's
been
my
experience
and
I
think
you
quoted
some
numbers
about
the
number
of
properties
that
are
considered
and
approved
in
terms
of
changes
and
stuff,
and
it's
certainly
been
my
experience
that
working
with
the
ilpc
gives
a
level
of
oversight
but
they're
very
willing
to
consider
plans.
I
mean
that's
been
my
experience
and
I
put
a
lot
of
faith
in
their
consideration
of
preserving,
I
mean
preserving,
sounds
like
a
bad
word.
J
I
mean
I
think,
there's
been
some
significant
changes
to
historic
buildings
that
have
been
achieved
in
collaboration
with
the
ilpc,
so
I
mean,
I
think,
is
it
fair
to
say
I
mean
I've
read
that
actually
sometimes
property
prices
can
be.
The
value
can
actually
be
increased
by,
including
in
a
historic
district.
Can
you
sort
of
confirm
that
suspicion
or
that
that
reading
that
I've
had
in
the
past.
AK
Yes,
so
just
quickly,
I
highly
recommend
a
study
that
was
recently
done
for
saratoga
springs.
It
was
done
by
place
economics
in
2019
that
explores
that
topic
extensively.
They
look
at
property
values
and
historic,
designation
from
several
different
angles.
AK
But
what
this
study
found
is
is
yes,
historic,
designation
increases
property
values,
but
it
also
it
stabilizes
them
through.
You
know
natural
fluctuations
in
the
market,
so
you
know
where
other
properties
and
historic
or
in
non-designated
areas
may
fluctuate
rapidly.
Given
you
know,
market
conditions,
typically
properties
within
historic
districts,
maintain
their
value.
So
so
to
your
question,
the
short
answer
is
yes,
and
so
you
mentioned
preservation
I
like
to
use
management
of
change
rather
than
preservation,
because
alterations
are
routinely
approved
for
the
properties
in
historic
districts.
AL
One
of
my
early
reactions
to
the
proposal,
and
one
which
mr
beck
also
picked
up,
was
whether
the
set
of
criteria
being
used
in
this
designation
are
loose
enough,
that
you
could
almost
designate
any
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
ithaca.
Could
you
address
that.
AK
AK
You
know
there
are
areas
of
the
city
that
have
connections
to
the
past,
but
you
know
those
connections.
You
can't
easily
read
on
the
buildings
there
because
they
have
changed
so
significantly
over
time
in
historic
districts.
Typically,
the
buildings
that
are
there
still
reflect
their
historic
character,
and
that
may
not
be
something
that
you
would
see
in
in
an
area
of
fall,
creek
or
some
of
the
other
other
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
L
L
L
B
Okay,
thank
you
now
to
report
of
council
liaisons
any
reports,
yes
cynthia
and
then
george.
I
We
will
be
working
with
our
members
to
negotiate
with
the
village
of
kuga
heights
to
put
in
a
plant
to
plant
agreement
with
the
village
of
keuka
heights
wastewater
treatment
plant.
They
we
have
what's
called
the
klein
road
intercept
which
had
been
delivering
waste
from
the
old
village
of
kuga
heights
to
our
wastewater
treatment
plant.
I
That
is
going
to
be
diverted
back
to
kegel
heights,
but
when
there
is
a
rain
event
such
as
recent
events,
anything
over
500,
000
gallons
per
day
will
come
to
our
plant,
so
we're
working
on
establishing
a
set
of
agreements
that
had
been
agreed
to
15
20
years
ago,
but
never
been
signed.
So
we're
trying
to
address
that
and
that's
in
negotiation.
Now
on
a
new
topic,
which
is
kind
of
a
fun
topic.
I
I
So
we
started
off
with
a
stakeholder
group
meeting
today,
but
basically
the
city
applied
to
be
one
of
I
think
about
two
dozen
water
treatment
plants
throughout
the
state
that
has
receiving
support
from
the
state
to
put
together
a
survey
and
analysis
of
our
watershed
of
possible
locations.
I
First,
we
will,
they
will
map
our
watershed,
for
us
identify
our
priorities
and
resources,
delineate
protection
areas,
possible
sources
of
contamination,
look
at
local
land
use
and
land
cover
create
an
inventory
of
what
we
have
and
then
work
with
our
our
organization,
as
well
as
state
and
other
governments
to.
I
Address
and
fund
potential
sources
of
contamination
to
our
water
supply,
so
this
is
a
great
program.
It's
just
at
the
first
meeting
I
was
very
happy
to
be
in
invited
to
participate,
and
part
of
this
will
continue
to
reach
out
to
both
obviously
the
city,
but
then
the
municipalities
in
which
the
six
mile
creek
watershed
lies
caroline
dryden
town
of
ithaca,
I
think
brookton
dale,
so
obviously
successful.
I
I
Is
and
and
the
amount
of
expertise
we're
working
with
with
ecologic
and
barton
and
the
judas,
and
because
of
the
state
funding,
they
will
be
providing
a
lot
of
the
technical
assistance
and
putting
this
report
together.
So
it's
a
it's
a
really
wonderful
program.
B
Thank
you.
I
have
george
and
then
laura.
Q
Yes
thanks,
mr
mayor,
I
haven't
given
a
report
on
the
board
of
public
works
in
quite
some
time
because
they
they
haven't
met,
but.
Q
Streets
and
facilities
is
real
busy
this
summer
and
they've
done
a
lot
of
good
work
in
the
first
ward.
I
know
at
hudson
street
and
hook
place,
which
was
notoriously
bad,
has
been
repaved,
and
so
we're
very
thankful
for
that.
I'm
curious
that
there
will
be
a
board
of
public
works
meeting
next
week
or
two
weeks
from
now,
and
if
anybody
has
constituent
complaints
about
the
new
street
lights,
I
I
wouldn't
mind
hearing
them.
Q
B
You
laura
and
then
graham.
O
Thank
you.
A
couple
of
things,
iura
liaison
notes
were
sent
to
council
earlier
today,
and
there
was
one
question
request
for
clarification
in
the
iura
meeting
and
that
had
to
do
with
the
inlet
island
vote
to
include
ground
level
activity.
O
C
O
A
C
C
A
C
He
felt
like
there
was
some
creative
things
that
could
be
done
with
like
having
some
activation
like
around
the
building
with
like
food
trucks,
and
maybe
some
like
kind
of
pop-up
type
things
that
could-
and
I
think
the
question
is
like-
would
that
satisfy
the
street
level
active
usage.
We
don't
need
to
get
into
the
weeds
tonight,
but
that
was
the
issue
that
was
raised
so.
L
B
I'm
gonna
check
with
nils.
I
have
no
problem,
bringing
it
straight
back
to
full
council
either,
but
but
if
it
requires
some
wordsmithing,
maybe
committee's
better
so
yeah.
B
Let's,
actually,
let's
go
to
planning
committee:
let's
bring
it
to
the
planning
committee
to
discuss
those
two
amendments
and
then
bring
it
back
to
council.
O
O
O
O
Still
listening
to
our
meeting
that
the
human
services
coalition
2-1-1
housing
specialists
are
available
to
assist
in
questions
about
the
e-wrap
application,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
someone
whose
e-wrap
application
is
in
process
or
is
pending
is
protected
from
eviction
until
there's
a
decision
made
on
on
their
application.
B
J
Yeah,
this
isn't
actually
reported
as
a
response
to
george's
question,
so
I've
had
a
couple
of
comments
appreciating
the
the
brighter
light
on
the
streets
and
on
the
sidewalks,
but
I
I
personally
have
experienced
this
higher
light.
On
the
second
floor,
I
have
a
street
light
right
in
front
of
our
house
and
it
definitely
shines
higher
than
it
used
to
so
if
there
is
a
way
for
them
to
consider
adjusting
that,
I
think
it
would
be
beneficial.
So
I
just
give
you
that
immediate
input.
B
U
A
I
B
Great
thank
you
yeah.
That
is
good
to
know.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Now
is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
moved
by
crime?
Second,
by
laura
in
the
steve
smith's
position,
all
those
in
favor
of
a
tournament
that
carries
eight
to
zero,
we'll
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
