A
Okay
looks
like
we
are
all
set
to
go
good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
july
6th
2022
meeting
of
common
council.
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
at
603
and
it's
good
to
see
everyone
into
it
to
still
be
daylight
outside.
B
Thanks,
laura
items,
4.10
and
4.11
are-
are
going
to
be
deleted
from
the
agenda
they're,
not
ready
for
this
month's
meeting,
so
we
will
discuss
those
at
a
future
session.
It's
also
my
understanding
that
item
4.4
will
be
deleted
and
has
been
replaced
with
a
member
file.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
and
then
I
understand
we
do
have
report
from
municipal
officials,
county
legislator,
veronica
piller
is
joining
us
this
evening
and
I
believe
she
had
link
veronica.
I
see
you
there
with
us.
D
Hi,
yes,
sorry
thank
you
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
for
having
me
yeah
happy
to
be
here.
I
be
talking
in
my
switch
to
panelist,
but
my
name
is
veronica
piller.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
but
good
to
meet
those
of
you.
I
don't
I'm
on
the
county
legislature.
D
I
live
in
the
city
and
represent
district
2
county
district
2,
which
is
basically
city,
ward,
5,
and
a
little
bit
of
ward
3.
we've
been
well
since
I
started
at
the
beginning
of
january.
D
We
at
the
county
have
been
really
grateful
to
have
george
and
patrick,
coming
and
reporting
to
all
of
our
meetings
and
sharing
out
from
the
city.
So
now
I
and
rich
john
who
represents
county
district
4,
are
going
to
be
alternating
going
forward,
giving
that
back
to
you
so
try
to
keep
it
brief.
A
few
things
I'll
use
this
to
remind
everyone
if
you
haven't
yet
to
please
sign
up
for
siren.
This
is
not
new,
but
the
new
county
emergency
notification
system.
D
That
would
be
really
helpful.
Also
brief,
covet
updates,
updates
the
testing
site
is
still
operating,
as
it
always
has
been.
There's
been
a
slight
shift
in
the
funding.
Now
the
county
is
picking
up
a
little
share,
but
we're
still
considered
a
really
important
part
of
the
response,
and
that
will
be
continuing
and
also,
if
you
haven't
heard
children
as
young
as
six
months
can
get
vaccinated.
So
please
get
on
that.
All
this
info
is
on
the
county
website.
D
We,
as
I
think
you
had
looked
at,
we
passed
a
law
to
extend
remote
meetings
if,
for
whenever,
the
executive
order
stops
getting
extended.
So
from
the
perspective
of
anyone
other
than
legislators,
it
will
work
the
way
it's
working.
Now
you
can
attend
remotely
like
you
all.
Can
the
public
can
our?
D
What
else
have
we
done?
Recently?
We
passed
the
tc3
budget.
We've
had
a
little
bit
of
turnover
in
our
staff,
our
chief
equity
and
diversity
officer,
deanna
carrithers,
who
you
all
know,
has
left
unfortunately,
and
amy
hendricks,
one
of
our
deputy
county
administrators
left,
but
bridget
nugent
has
stepped
up
into
really.
There
are
two
of
those
roles,
one
of
them
and
we're
still
working
on
hiring
another.
I'm
sure
they'll
be
looking
forward
to
meet
you.
D
The
recovery
fund
that
we
set
up
there
were
some
financial
back-end
hurdles
that
have
been
sorted
out.
We
have
hired
a
consultant
to
manage
this
for
context.
This
was
the
county's
plan
from
oh
months
ago
to
offer
grants
in
various
ways
to
community
with
individuals
and
organizations
doing
work
within
the
parameters
of
what
the
american
rescue
plan
act
was
trying
to
fund.
D
D
We've
been
talking
a
bunch
about
the
safety
issues
of
the
human
service
at
our
human
services
building,
which
is
in
the
middle
of
the
city,
and
there
is
something
on
the
docket
of
our
government
operations
committee
meeting
tomorrow
at
noon
that
only
just
got
sent
to
me.
But
I
haven't
looked
at
that
yet.
But
that's
I
just
bring
that
up
because
I
think
that's
probably
a
topic
on
your
mind
too,
and
I
think
that's
all
I
got
and
I'm
happy
to
take
questions.
B
Hey
veronica,
just
out
of
curiosity,
this
may
not
be
an
appropriate
question,
but
I
was
just
curious
if
you
had
particular
details
on
how
far
out
in
advance
folks
who's
whose
children
between
six
months
and
five
years,
how
they,
how
far
out
in
advance
they
need
to
schedule
for
that
vaccine.
Appointment.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
I'll
just
comment.
Veronica.
There
was
a
meeting
fairly
recently
between
some
city
and
county
folks
about
some
concern.
Some
safety
concerns
on
the
west
end
and
mlk
boulevard,
so
we
plan
to
meet
again
in
the
near
future
to
talk
about
ways
of
addressing
safety
issues
that
we
hear
from
a
number
of
constituents
regarding
so
more
to
come
on
that.
So
I
appreciate
you
mentioning
the
government
operations.
A
A
Okay,
jorge
did
you
have
a
question.
F
Yeah
I
did
on
the
point
of
public
comment,
I'm
hearing
from
some
folks
through
my
through
my
channels
that
there's
some
issue
getting
on
and
it
might
just
be
because
we
haven't
gotten
closer
to
public
comment,
but
some
folks
are
registering
issues
logging
on.
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that
in.
G
Case
there's
an
issue,
but
if
not
the
problem.
A
Okay,
well,
let's
move,
then
it's
a
time.
Oh,
this
is
just
one
yes
phoebe
did
you
have
a
comment
or
question.
A
Public
comment
and
julie
you
frequently
will
allow
people
in
from
the
waiting
room.
I'm
not
sure
how
many
people
are
in
the
waiting
room,
but
you
know
apropos
of
jorge's
comment.
Hopefully
you
see
a
number
of
people
that
can
be
now
allowed
into
the
waiting
room.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
jorge.
I
do
see
that
we
have
four
of
our
14
speakers
that
were
signed
up
in
the
waiting
room.
I'm
I'm
not
sure
what
the
technical
issues
are,
but
if
you
hear
from
people
either
chat
me
or
text
me
or
something
and
I'll
see
what
I
can.
I
can
do
about
that.
F
I
Okay,
well,
I
can
say
I
I
mean
I
think
I
can
see
more
people's
getting
in
right
now,
so
I
think
that
that's
working
and
I'll
go
through
my
list
of
who's
in
the
waiting
room
and
then
we'll
just
keep
trying
to
catch
up
the
people.
Normally
we
take
people
in
the
order
that
they
registered,
but
some
of
those
people
aren't
here
yet
so
we'll
start
that
and
then
we'll
we'll
see
what
we
can
do.
The
meeting
link
is
expired.
I
Okay,
I
can
maybe
I
can
resend
that
email
out
to
everybody
to
all
the
speakers
and
see
if
that
helps,
but
we'll
get
started.
Thank.
A
You
julie
just
as
we
get
started
and-
and
you
know
I
will
acknowledge
that
some
of
this
may
be
the
result
of,
or
my
fault
that
I
asked
for
julie's
assistance
just
moments
before
the
meeting
began.
A
Let
me,
by
way
of
introducing
public
comment,
remind
anyone
who
is
watching
this
evening,
who
will
be
speaking
this
evening
that
people
can
always
members
of
the
public
can
always
write
to
common
counsel.
We
read
all
of
the
comments
we
receive.
A
I
also
want
to
remind
members
of
the
public
who
will
be
speaking
that
there
is
a
maximum
three
minute
limit
to
your
comments.
So
I
believe
julie
will
let
you
know
when
your
three
minutes
are
up,
but
we'd
appreciate
you
keeping
time
for
yourselves
as
well.
So
why
don't
we
move
to
the
first
speakers?
You
have
julie
and
thanks
so
much
for
your
help
in
making
this
work
and
resending
a
link.
If
someone
has
indicated
they
had
a
message
that
the
link
was
expired.
I
J
J
Like
egregious
union
busting,
they
basically
fired
an
entire
store
of
people
after
months
of
bullying,
of
deliberately
cutting
people's
hours,
scheduling
them
outside
of
their
abilities
so
that
they
would
be
written
up
if
they
weren't
able
to
make
their
shift
just
all
kinds
of
things
and
then
giving
people
a
week's
notice
that
they
would
be
jobless.
J
It's
really
important
to
make
a
strong
statement
against
this,
because
this
isn't
the
end
of
it
right.
This
is
intended
to
scare
people
to
quash
the
union
effort
and
it's
not
the
end
right,
like
they
closed
college
avenue
and
they're
still
engaging
in
union
busting
at
the
other
stores.
I
heard
that
at
the
commons
location
nobody
had
been
scheduled
for
more
than
20
hours.
I
think.
J
Next
week,
one
worker
there
has
been
skipping
meals
because
they
can't
afford
both
food
and
rent
they
passed
out
in
their
apartment,
had
to
have
had
to
get
someone
from
the
union
to
come
and
scoop
them
off
the
floor.
It's
it's
just
really
bad
they're
deliberately
purging
people,
and
you
might
say
well.
Why
do
we
want
starbucks
here
at
all?
Well,
the
first
thing
is
the
workers.
J
J
Another
thing
like
this
is
what
star
wars
is
doing,
is
really
gross
and
egregious,
but
it's
not
unique
to
starbucks
right,
like
lots
of
companies
union
bus,
if
you've
been
around
ithaca
for
a
minute
there
have
been
union
drives
at
other
local
cafes
and
coffee
shops
in
ithaca,
and
if,
if
you
don't
know
what
happened
in
those
instances,
I
would
be
happy
to
discuss
that
with
you
connect
you
with
people
involved,
because
it's
bad
right
now.
J
Starbucks
is
the
only
union
coffee
shop
in
ithaca,
and
I
really
think
that,
especially
in
this
moment,
it's
very
important
for
democrats
to
show
up
for
labor.
This
is
what
we're
asking
you
to
do.
I
really
appreciate
the
individuals
who
sign
on
to
the
letter
that
you
know
we
asked
for
people
to
sign
a
few
months
ago,
but
things
have
escalated.
I
think
the
city
needs
to
really
make
a
strong
statement
here
that
you
support
workers.
Thank
you.
J
D
Hello
again
I'll
try
to
keep
it
brief.
I'm
also
here
just
as
a
member
of
the
public
now
to
talk
about
the
starbucks
resolution.
I
think
this
is
your
item.
6.1,
basically
supporting
what
stephanie
said.
I
think
that
this
is
important.
I
hope
you
all
pass
it.
I
know
I've
heard
from
some
other
people
concerns
about
the
you
know.
Some
of
my
colleagues
concerns
about
the
specificity
of
the
resolution
naming
a
particular
corporation
and
concerns
about
like
overstepping
what
is
in
the
bounds
of
government
to
do,
but
I
wanna.
D
I
think
this
is
like
the
wrong
way
to
think
about
it.
The
naming
starbucks
specifically
is
because
starbucks
specifically
is
taking
egregious
union-busting
actions
like
in
our
city,
specifically
that,
as
stephanie
said
impact
you
know,
people's
ability
to
live
and
work
and
play
here,
and
so
part
of
supporting
city
residents
would
be
supporting
these
starbucks
workers,
who
are
really
really
struggling
like
right
now,
as
she
described
and
in
terms
of
like
whether
it's
the
city's
role
to
do
this.
D
I
don't
know
that
it's
been
really
really
helpful
when
governments
pass
resolutions,
you
know,
even
though
it's
not
like
doing
anything
legal
per
se
to
give
them
support,
because
the
you
know
the
power
they
have
now
is
in
messaging,
as
in
collective,
organizing
and
a
resolution
like
this
would
be
really
really
helpful
for
hopefully,
exactly
the
people
that
you
want
to
help.
D
And
that's
that's
all
on
that.
If
I
can
slip
in
a
different
thing,
just
robert,
I
asked
someone
about
your
question
about
the
vaccines
for
children,
they're
all
the
county's
not
doing
clinics,
but
they're
all
being
offered
through
one's
kids,
primary
care
provider
or
pharmacies,
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
you
can
get
them
pretty
quickly
in
either
place
or,
if
you're,
over
three
for
a
pharmacy.
A
Well,
thanks
veronica,
for
that
quick
update
and
for
your
earlier
comment
next
speaker.
I
I
I
apologize
is
colin
benedict
and,
following
colin
will
be
deep.
C
K
K
K
K
This
decision
robs
millions
of
people
across
the
country
of
the
right
to
control
their
bodies
and
personal
health
care
decisions,
giving
it
instead
to
politicians
and
leaving
them
without
access
to
safe
and
legal
abortion.
Health
care
as
a
local
new
york
planned
parenthood.
Health
care
provider
with
a
health
center
right
here
in
ithaca
ppgny
understands
the
critical
role
this
community
will
play
in
ensuring
access
to
abortion
for
people
traveling
to
new
york
from
abortion,
hostile
states
like
ohio
and
pennsylvania.
K
K
One
of
ppgny's
top
priorities
in
the
coming
months
is
to
expand
abortion
services
in
new
york's
southern
tier
to
mitigate
unnecessary
delays
and
people
accessing
health
care.
We
will
expand
karen
ithaca
and
corning
to
provide
abortion
into
the
second
trimester
and
are
actively
recruiting
expert
health
care
providers
who
are
experienced
in
providing
this
care.
K
While
we
are
fortifying
our
healthcare
services,
we're
working
with
local
and
state
legislators
to
strengthen
legal
protections
for
abortion
care
within
new
york
state.
One
of
our
legislative
priorities
is
to
encourage
local
governments
to
establish
their
counties
and
cities
as
safe
harbors
for
abortion
access.
K
This
ordinance
also
allows
any
person
detained
in
violation
to
sue
the
city
of
ithaca
on
grounds,
for
unlawful
detention
and
for
any
damages
which
were
incurred.
We
commend
the
writers
of
this
legislation
for
this
extra
layer
of
protection
to
ensure
government
officials
are
complying
with
this
ordinance.
K
We
encourage
local
governments
throughout
new
york
state
to
introduce
similar
resolutions
and
publicly
commit
to
prohibiting
city
resources
from
being
used
to
impede
an
individual's
ability
to
obtain
abortion
care.
Thank
you
to
the
ithaca
common
council
and
elder
person
kintama
for
taking
these
important
bold
steps
to
protect
abortion
access
in
ithaca
city.
K
We
applaud
your
efforts
in
paving
the
path
to
ensure
abortion
rights
are
protected
for
our
community
members
and
for
folks
traveling
here
from
out
of
state.
This
legislation
signals
to
other
cities
in
new
york.
That
now
is
the
time
to
stand
up
and
protect
our
fundamental
rights
to
health
care,
no
matter
what
thank
you.
L
Next,
up
is
deepak
and
following
deepak
will
be
zach
win.
A
And
deepak
welcome.
Could
I
ask
for
the
record
that
you
state
your
last
name.
M
Yeah
sure,
can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
cool.
My
name
is
deepak
ilongo.
I
am
a
resident
of
ward
five.
I
love
stewart
avenue,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
guys
in
favor
of
the
starbucks
resolution.
M
That's
on
the
docket.
I
think
that
it
is
very
important
that
the
city
of
ithaca
pass
this
legislation
or
just
pass
the
statement
put
it
out
there
in
general.
I
think
there's
there's
been
a
bit
of
a
question
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
supporting
this
resolution
falls
within
the
purview
of
city
government.
I
think
that
it
does.
M
I
think
what
the
purpose
of
city
government
is
to
represent
the
overwhelming
views
of
citizens
of
that
city,
and
I
think
that
citizens
of
ithaca
have
proven
over
and
over
again
that
they
do
in
fact
overwhelmingly
support
the
star
wars,
workers,
united
and
the
starbucks
unionizing
efforts.
People
hundreds
of
people
have
either
shown
up
to
protest,
have
donated
to
strike
funds
and
are
just
in
general,
trying
to
help
these
workers
you
know,
have
retain
a
modicum
of
dignity
in
terms
of
wages,
working
conditions
and
whatnot.
M
So
I
think
that
it
is
very
important
that
city
of
ithaca
puts
out
the
statements
supporting
these
workers
and
condemning
starbucks's
actions,
particularly
because
they
are
the
biggest
as
of
right
now
perpetrators
of
unfair
working
conditions
like
that.
So
I
I
want
to
stress
the
importance
of
this,
not
just
as
sort
of
a
statement
that
goes
out
into
the
ether,
but
as
a
motivating
factor
that
draws
people
into
this
as
an
organizing
movement,
but
also
as
something
that
supports
the
citizens
of
ithaca
who
actually
work
at
these
places.
M
Who
are
feeling
the
effects
of
this
gives
them
a
leg
to
stand
on,
knowing
that
they
have
the
power
and
the
backing
of
the
city
of
ithaca
behind
them.
Also
within
this
legislature
is
a
call
to
directly
report,
starbucks
services,
college
time,
location
specifically
to
the
nlrb.
I
think
that's
really
really
important
in
terms
of
getting
stuff
done,
providing
these
workers
with
legitimacy
in
terms
of
what
they're
doing,
and
so
I
highly
highly
encourage
that
you
all
support
this
piece
of
legislation.
I
Next,
up
is
zach
nguyen
and
following
zach
is
sheila
out.
Give
me
just
a
moment
zach
to
let
you
in
the
room.
N
All
right,
my
name
is
zachary
nguyen,
and
I
live
here
in
ithaca
new
york.
I'd
like
to
start
out
by
saying
these
ongoing
zoo
meetings
are
unnecessary
and
I
believe,
unacceptable.
It's
obviously
an
impediment
to
people
being
able
to
participate,
particularly,
I
imagine
the
elderly
and
other
people
who
are
not
as
tech
savvy
as
the
people
here
in
this
meeting,
I
would
also
like
to
call
on
members
of
council
to
reject
political
violence,
roadblocks
and
other
acts
of
intimidation
like
showing
up
to
people's
homes.
N
Specifically,
I
asked
members
of
the
solidarity
slate
council
person
win
and
can
telmo
to
reject
these
tactics.
The
fourth
ward
candidate
for
council
and
the
independent
candidate
for
mayor
both
participated
in
illegal
roadblocks
on
clinton
street
at
least
twice
this
year,
something
I
have
personally
witnessed,
and
I
would
like
you
all
to
please
reject
those
tactics.
So
I
would
also
like
to
ask
that
the
council
vote
to
reject
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
report.
N
It
is
a
result
of
a
contaminated
process
that
is
continually
under
investigation,
and
the
substance
of
that
investigation
has
yet
to
even
be
exposed
to
the
public.
N
There's
been
a
number
of
conflicts
of
interest
throughout
specifically
yasmin
rashid,
who
sits
on
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
or
did
is
vice
president
of
black
hands
universal,
which
received,
I
believe,
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
funding
from
the
city,
and
I
believe
that
might
have
impacted
her
ability
to
be
objective.
N
And
the
data
that
formed
the
basis
of
the
working
groups
report
was
several
thousand
calls
were
omitted
from
what
was
given
to
matrix
consulting
from
the
ithaca
police
department.
I
believe-
and
you
know,
there's
been
no
accounting
of
where
those
calls
went
and
why
they
were
not
factored
into
the
to
the
the
group's
work.
I
also
believe
that
there
is
a
another
ad
hoc
committee
being
formed
related
to
reimagining
public
safety.
N
I
believe
that
you
know
there's
been
a
member
of
council
who
has
spoken
about
wanting
to
get
rid
of
10
ithaca
police
department
officers
and
has
spoken
openly
about
their
their
bias
towards
law
enforcement,
and
I
don't
believe
that
that
person
or
any
person
with
such
open
biases
should
be
serving
on
a
committee
with
such
a
weighty
and
important
charge
that
could
have
such
long
lasting
consequences.
A
Jayla,
are
you
there,
you're,
muted.
O
Okay,
I'm
sorry,
I
just
unmuted
myself,
I'm
a
little
anxious,
because
I
took
me
so
long
to
get
into
the
zoom
with
technical
difficulties.
But
I
wanted
to
just
say
a
few
words
in
support
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
report
and
certain
aspects
that
we
can
certainly
move
forward
to.
It's
been
a
long
time
in
the
works
and
it
should
move
forward
even
if
it's
not
perfect,
because
it
never
will
be
perfect.
O
And
I
I
think
we
should
be
moving
forward
with
it
now.
And
the
the
data,
collection
and
reporting
will
be
crucial
to
gain
the
trust
of
the
public
on
in
an
ongoing
process
because
it
will
be,
it
will
always
be
a
work
in
process
and
the
collected
data
will
give
this
the
city
the
opportunity
to
see
what's
working.
What
might
need
to
be
tweaked
in
the
in
this
year's
long
process
and
the
public
reporting
should
help
the
public
feel
more
confident
about
the
whole
process,
and
that's
all
I
had
to
say
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
sheila
glad
you
mastered
the
the
technology
challenges.
P
Hello,
my
name
is
ruth
yarrow.
I
live
at
224
cleveland
avenue,
I'm
the
vice
chair
of
the
county,
human
rights
commission
and
I'd
like
to
share
with
you.
I
can't
won't
share
the
whole
thing
because
it
would
be
too
long,
but
our
statement
about
reimagining
public
safety,
the
purpose
of
the
tompkins
county
human
rights
commission,
is
to
foster
understanding
and
respect
among
all
persons
in
tompkins
county
to
encourage
equality,
discourage
discrimination
and
serve
as
an
advisory
board
to
the
office
of
human
rights
in
the
tompkins
county
legislature.
P
P
Personally,
I
will
be
very
proud
when
s
ithaca
votes,
to
launch
this
reimagining
public
safety
initiative
and
take
a
step
towards
a
more
humane
public
safety
situation
in
our
county.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
ruth
and
ruth.
You
will
share
your
statement
with
all
of
us.
Can
you
forward
it?
I
we
may
have
received
it
earlier,
but
do
you
mind
sharing
it
again.
P
Q
Hi,
thank
you
yeah.
I
am
here
also
to
speak
in
support
of
the
statement
on
starbucks.
I
I
know
that
several
people
have
spoken
about
this
already.
Q
I
have
lived
in
fall
creek
for
10
years
and
I
have
been
a
volunteer
with
the
poor
people's
campaign
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
in
town
and
one
of
my
friends
is
steph
heslop,
who
spoke
first
and
when,
when
I
was
you
know,
I've
been
exposed
throughout
the
time
that
she's
been
working
at
starbucks
to
the
problems
that
they're
having
there,
and
I
also
have
a
background
in
working
in
non-profit
communications,
and
I've
noticed
that
I
mean
this
is
really
for
us.
Q
It's
a
local
struggle
and
for
the
workers
at
the
stores,
it's
a
local
struggle,
but
this
is
also
a
national
struggle.
This
story
about
ithaca,
I'm
not
talking
about
the
starbucks
unionization
campaign
in
general,
I'm
talking
about
the
closure
of
the
college,
app
store
and
other
measures
that
are
being
taken
in
ithaca
has
been
picked
up
by
numerous
national
media
outlets,
including
bloomberg
in
these
times
various
podcasts,
and
the
reason
is
that
the
the
way
this
union
drive
is
happening
is
store
by
store.
Q
So
we
have
low-wage
workers
with
very
limited
hours
who,
as
steph
was
testifying
earlier
often
are
in
in
this
time
of
severe
inflation
are
not
able
to
put
together
enough
money
to
live
literally
choosing
between
food
and
rent
and
and
on
the
other
side,
we
have
a
multi-billion
dollar
corporation,
that
is
in
every
city
in
the
country
and
all
over
the
world.
Q
Q
I
believe
that
people
here
support
the
right
of
workers
to
stand
up
for
dignity,
for
safe
working
conditions
to
be
treated
with
respect,
to
make
a
decent
wage
to
have
predictable
hours,
and
I
believe
that
it
would
make
an
enormous
difference
to
them
if
the
city
would
make
a
statement
in
support
of
them
and
and
that
that
the
city
does
not
turn
a
blind
eye
to
to
blatant
union
busting
against
poor
and
disadvantaged
workers
in
arsenal.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
R
Hi
sorry,
my
internet
just
cut
out
hold
on
a
second.
Can
you
hear
me.
R
Okay,
cool
so
my
good
evening
to
the
common
council.
Thanks
for
allowing
me
to
speak,
my
name
is
evan
sunshine.
I
live
in
the
city
of
ithaca,
ward,
3.
and
I'm
a
college.
I
I
was
a
college
avenue,
starbucks
worker
and
I'm
here
to
provide
some
information
about.
What's
been
going
on
with
the
closed
college,
avenue
store
as
a
worker
at
that
store,
what's
been
going
on
with
bargaining,
so
we've
been
closed
for
almost
one
month
now
and
college
avenue
partners
are
still
not
back
to
work.
R
Starbucks
refuses
to
guarantee
us
the
appropriate
amount
of
hours
or
compensation
for
workers
who
wish
to
separate
from
the
company
due
to
an
inability
to
travel
or
emotional
costs
associated
with
the
closure.
They've
been
very
stubborn
about
a
lot
of
what
we're
saying
they
refuse
to
offer
us
certain
pieces
that
we
feel
are
really.
You
know
necessary
for
us
to
be
able
to
go
back
to
work.
R
I
mean
this
is
blatant
union
busting.
I
I
feel,
like
you
know,
it's
it's
hard
to
really
put
into
words
how
this
has
affected
me
and
my
fellow
partners
at
my
store
and
the
partners
at
the
other
two
stores
that
are
affected
by
the
closure
as
well
as
stephanie
put.
We
have
people
working
on
incredibly
low
number
of
hours
per
week
to
the
point
where
some
people
are
making
double-digit
paychecks.
They
can't
live
off.
Of
that.
You
know
they
can
barely
pay
for
food
necessities.
R
It's
hard
to
pay
the
rent,
you
know,
and
so
I'm
the
acting
communications
latest
on
between
starbucks
management
and
my
fellow
partners
in
our
bargaining
efforts.
Starbucks
blames
a
lot
of
its
poor
decisions
on
business
needs
and
maintaining
the
engine
words
that
they
refuse
to
define
because
they
simply
have
no
definition
in
the
words
of
a
regional
manager
and
a
partner
relations.
Employee
business
needs
encompasses
an
infinite
amount
of
factors
and
can't
be
any
more
specific
than
what
it
is
and
they
used
inefficiencies
in
the
engine.
R
As
one
of
the
reasons
why
starbucks
closed
our
store,
another
word
without
an
official
definition
and
it
allegedly
encompasses
partner
relationships
or
may
be
missing
an
ice
bin
on
one
side
of
the
bar
that
we
were
not
actually
missing,
but
the
regional
manager
who
decided
to
close
our
store
actually
had
never
visited
and
assessed
our
store
before
deciding
to
close
it.
In
fact,
it
was
right.
R
After
we
announced
a
new
campaign,
they
decided
to
close
our
store
and
then
waited
to
tell
us
until
a
week
before
the
closure,
so
they
actually
knew
a
while
and
they
made
the
decision
to
close
our
store
earlier
this
year
or
something
that
we
found
out.
So,
as
you
can
see,
starbucks
relies
on
abstract
constructs
as
like
a
scapegoat
to
justify
its
union
busting.
So,
while
starbucks
language
is
weak
and
flimsy,
we
can
make
sure
our
language
is
strong.
R
E
Hi,
I
am
jamie
jett.
I
am
a
west
coast
resident.
I
have
been
for
16
years
and
I'm
just
voicing
my
concern
about
the
police,
the
public
safety
imaging
that
to
please
table
the
vote
until
after
the
ethics
investigation
is
complete.
I
think
it's
completely
unnecessary
to
do
it
before
then
just
to
make
sure
for
all
involved
that
the
best
possible
outcome
happens
thanks.
I
Up
next
is
logan
morales
and
I
believe
that's
our
last
speaker.
We
did
have
a
couple
more
signed
up,
but
I
do
not
see
them
in
the
room
and
I've
tried
to
email
the
group
two
times
two
or
three
times
the
link
so
we'll
see
if
they
join
while
logan
is
speaking.
S
Sweet
I'll
get
started,
then
hey
everyone,
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
in
favor
of
the
starbucks
resolution
to
stand
against
illegal
union
busting.
S
S
It
goes
without
saying
that
I
have
some
strong
thoughts
on
what
our
politics
should
be
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
we're
doing
in
politics
should
be
to
help
people
like.
That's
it
nothing
else,
no
more,
and
to
do
that
to
help
people,
our
representatives
need
to
actually
be
representing
the
people
of
the
city
and
showing
solidarity
when
they
ask
for
it.
The
workers
of
starbucks
have
clearly
asked
for
your
support.
S
You
have
the
power
to
support
workers,
not
just
at
starbucks
but
in
any
other
business
who
may
fall
victim
to
disgusting,
anti-union
tactics
in
the
future
and
it's
time
to
grow
a
backbone.
The
burden
should
not.
It
should
not
fall
on
us.
Your
constituents
to
ask
you
to
do
your
job
and
protect
us.
The
right
to
unionize
is
a
right
guaranteed
by
the
government,
and
now
is
the
time
for
you,
the
government,
to
guarantee
that
right
and
I'm
sorry.
S
A
Thank
you,
logan
was
there
anyone
else,
julie,.
I
A
Yes,
she's
with
the
farmer's
market
that
we'll
get
to
later
in
the
agenda.
A
As
well
as
michelle
palmer,
those
two
individuals
will
be
speaking
on
the
farmer's
market.
I
Yes,
that's
all
I
have
for
public
speakers.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
julie
responses
from
members
of
council.
A
T
Yeah,
if
I
can
I'd
like
to
actually
read
some
remarks,
I've
prepared
here
and
really
to
oh,
you
guys-
can
hear
me
right.
Yes,
yeah,
okay,
great,
I
wasn't
sure
if
I'd
unmuted
yeah,
so
I
wanted
to
begin
by
reading
a
note
that
my
predecessor
and
counsel
donna
fleming
wrote
to
colleagues
this
morning.
I
think
her
remarks
really
serve
well
to
preface
our
discussion
tonight,
and
so
these
are
what
she
this
is
what
she
wrote.
T
She
said
to
elder
persons,
brock,
mcgonagall
brown,
nagoyan,
gerhardt
barkin,
defending
mailer
and
kentamo
into
acting
mary
louis
as
you
prepare
to
deliberate
over
items,
4.2
and
4.3
on
your
agenda
tonight.
Please
think
about
the
following:
the
reimagining
report
of
march
2021
contained
19
recommendations.
T
18
of
those
resulted
from
intense
collaboration
among
representatives
from
the
city
and
the
county
who
considered
input
from
focus
groups,
surveys
and
the
community
recommendation
number
one
was
a
surprise
edition
generated.
I
now
believe,
but
then
mayor,
cevante
merrick.
It
was
not
the
result
of
a
community-wide
research
surveys
and
collaboration
that
recommendation
recommendation
originally
called
for
designing
a
new
public
safety
agency
led
by
civilian
police
executive
director.
That
would
include
a
cohort
of
unarmed
first
responders.
T
Whatever
problems
of
racism,
sexism
or
excess
use
of
force
existed
in
ipd.
What
currently
are
the
specific
problems
in
our
ipd,
not
that
of
any
other
u.s
city
that
can
only
be
addressed
with
this
change.
How
are
these
problems?
Measured?
Your
resolution
4.2
on
march
2nd
2020
or
says
on
march
2nd
2022.
T
The
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
affirmed
that
civilian
leadership
of
public
safety
is
necessary
to
cultivate
a
culture
of
service
and
transparency
and
to
provide
extensive
project
management
and
interdisciplinary
leadership
skills.
What
other
alternatives
were
ruled
out
in
order
to
determine
that
this
scheme
was
necessary
to
achieve
the
goals
of
performing
ipd?
How
will
you
or
your
successors,
know
in
two
or
five
years
if
ipd
is
correcting
these
problems,
and
if
improvements
can
be
uniquely
attributed
to
this
organizational
change?
T
Presumably
the
role
of
this
new
deputy
chief
of
staff
will
mutate.
Yet
again
if
we
are
successful
in
creating
a
city
manager
role.
This
is
all
very
confusing
to
people
in
the
public
who
are
paying
attention
if
they
are
sufficiently
confused.
Such
they
vote
no
to
the
much
needed
reorganization
of
city
government
with
a
city
manager.
It
will
be
a
very,
very
bad
thing.
I
regret
having
felt
pressured
to
vote
on
30
on
the
31st
of
march
2021,
for
something
about
which
I
had
serious
and
reasonable
qualms
kind
regards
donna
fleming
elderperson
2012-2021.
T
T
T
It's
going
to
take
countless
leaps
of
faith
on
the
part
of
individuals
for
neighbors
to
renew
their
curiosity
and
compassion
for
one
another.
I
spent
the
morning
today,
actually
at
south
side,
witnessing
a
devoted
community
rally
to
kick
off
an
incredible
summer,
filled
with
music,
dance,
arts
and
joy
really
for
the
most
diverse
group
of
children.
I've
ever
seen
assembled.
T
T
So
if
the
divisions
sewn
over
this
reform
package
were
necessary
to
land
beyond
those
steps
this
morning,
admittedly
outside
of
my
comfort
zone
and
yet
in
such
good
company,
that
I
think
it
was
all
worthwhile
and
donna
shouldn't
regret
her
vote,
but
we
can't
ignore
the
divisions
that
persist
and
the
valid
questions
she
has
raised
in
the
final
analysis
of
our
discourse
over
these
past
years.
A
A
U
Thanks
jeff,
thanks
for
your
comments
and
and
donna
fleming,
thank
you
for
for
your
words,
as
always
very
well
thought
out.
U
I
I
just
like
to
briefly
comment
on
some
of
the
things
that
zach
said
zach.
I
agree
that
swarming
people's
cars,
while
they're,
trying
to
drive
to
ag
way
and
and
going
to
public
officials,
houses
on
the
weekends
and
and
scaring
their
partners,
is
not
acceptable
political
activity.
U
It's
it's
bullying
and
also,
I
would
just
say
that
yes,
mean
rasheed,
has
my
complete
confidence
in
her
own
integrity,
and
I
think
the
way
you
call
out
people
by
name
is
is
kind
of
in
the
same
line
as
as
the
so-called
political
activity
that
you
object
to.
So
I
would
encourage
you
not
to
do
that
and
yasmine
is
a
good
leader
in
this
community
and
there
is
no
connection
between.
V
Thank
you
laura.
I
too
would
like
to
express
loudly
that
I
support
yasmine
rasheed.
I
I
do
not
feel
that
her
involvement
in
the
working
group
was
in
any
way
compromised.
V
Her
involvement
with
unbroken
promises
and
her
leadership
in
our
community
is
significant
and
is
applauded,
and,
as
with
with
all
things
we
do
in
this
small
community,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
will
on
at
one
time
or
another,
find
themselves
lending
their
voice,
supporting
our
efforts
as
a
city
while
also
being
active
in
their
own
organizations.
V
As
long
as
you
do
so,
transparently,
without
any
hesitation
or
or
hiding
those
affiliations.
You
know
we
all
recognize
the
the
many
roles
that
people
play.
So
I
definitely
want
to
share
george's
concerns
and
caution
in
in
the
tactic
that
was
mentioned
by
zachary
nguyen.
I
I
thank
jeff
for
bringing
forward
donna's
comments.
She
is
absolutely
correct
in
articulating
and
reminding
us
all
that
recommendation
number
one
did
not
come
from
the
city
county
joint
collaborative
effort.
It
did
not
come
from
the
public
outreach
process
that
was
engaged
in
in
2020.
V
It
didn't
come
from
any
of
the
working
groups
in
the
city
county
effort.
It
didn't
come
from
the
technical
advisors,
mayor,
myrick
admitted
to
council
after
council
adopted
portions
of
recommendation
number
one.
He
admitted
that
he
was
the
author
of
that
recommendation
and
so,
in
march,
of
2021
council
took
portions
of
that
recommendation
and
council
created
the
working
group
to
explore
and
examine
what
it
would
look
like
if
the
city
were
to
develop
these
ideas.
V
V
First,
I
should
recognize
that
the
city
does
not
have
any
role
or
responsibility
in
punishing
organizations
for
illegal
activities.
In
this
case,
this
is
the
role
of
the
nlrb.
They
have
the
obligation,
they
have
the
responsibility.
They
have
the
legal
jurisdiction
to
to
file
lawsuits
against
starbucks
for
their
illegal
activities.
V
Council
absolutely
should
and
must
lend
its
voice
to
support
our
constituents
and
to
protect
the
rights
of
individuals
to
collectively
organize
to
have
employment
opportunities,
free
from
threat
and
harassment
and
retaliation
in
the
exercising
of
their
rights,
and
so
I
do
believe
that
the
substitute
resolution
that
has
put
forward
does
take
that
stand
and
lend
our
voice
to
the
support
of
our
constituents
and
employees
and
reaches
out
to
the
nlrb
to
ask
them
to
protect
the
rights
of
ithacans.
H
Hello,
everybody,
my
heart,
is
really
beating
right
now
I
want
to
just
I
want
to
support
the
starbucks,
because
the
I
understand
now
that
we
have
no
right
with-
and
I
don't
even
know
what
the
nlrb
is.
If
someone
would
give
me
that,
but
I
do
know
that
many
of
the
workers
are
our
constituents
and
we
should
support
them
because
to
know
that
they
are
losing
housing
as
a
possibility.
They
can
lose.
H
Housing
cannot
feed
themselves,
could
not
function
well,
with
these
hours,
cut
and
and
and
other
hard
places
to
work,
really
really
breaks
my
heart
and
know
that,
in
order
to
be
the
reason
why
I
wanted
to
be
on,
this,
council
was
for
the
constituents
in
my
ward
and
throughout
this
community.
H
So
wanting
to
see
employees
in
our
community
better
off
is
why
I
joined,
and
it
is
important
to
me
to
also
notice
that
starbucks
there
are
many
people
who
have
been
who
work
in
these
facilities,
who,
I
know,
have
double
strikes:
they're
persons
of
color
and
also
are
being
harassed
because
of
where
they
work,
and
that's
means
a
lot
to
me.
I
do
want
to
talk
about.
I
do
want
to
respond
to
zachary
nguyen,
who
I
understand.
H
Change
is
frightening,
but
it's
inevitable
right,
so
reimagining
public
safety.
When
I
mentioned
what
I
mentioned
in
the
past,
was
because
I
had
no.
I
hadn't
already
seen
what
was
put
in
place,
also
to
put
russia
to
put
yasmine
rasheed
name
out
in
a
way
of
of
of
sad
character.
Assassination
is
really
painful,
because
I've
watched
this
young
woman,
I've
known
her
since
she
was
a
child,
and
I
watch
her
in
this
community
work
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
this
community
is
a
better
place.
H
So
it's
it's
that
kind
of
comments
that
make
my
heart
beat,
knowing
that
there
are
people
who
didn't
even
mention
the
correct
place
of
her
where
she
works,
who
she
works
with,
but
it
it
just
makes
me
pretty
sad,
sometimes
to
understand.
H
There
are
still
people
who
aren't
open
for
change
and
I
continue
to
re-evaluate
and
take
a
look
at
myself
so
and
question
some
of
the
remarks
I'm
trying
to
be
the
best
person
I
can
be
because
I
do
this
work
not
for
me,
but
for
the
people
in
this
community,
and
so
I
will
continue.
H
A
A
Seeing
no
other
hands
raised
at
the
moment,
why
don't
we
move
to
the
consent
agenda?
Would
someone
like
to
move
robert,
a
second
on
the
consent
jorge?
Thank
you.
A
Right
vote
on
consent
agenda.
All
those
approving.
A
Okay,
it
looks
like
that
is
unanimous.
Thank
you
so
much
before
we
move
off
of
the
consent
agenda.
However,
I
would
like
to
ask
city
attorney
levine
if
he
would
offer
a
comment
on
one.
W
V
E
X
Problem
yeah!
No,
no
thank
you
yeah.
So
now
that
council
has
as
a
function
of
this
consent
agenda
agenda
just
now
approved
the
funding
for
outside
counsel
for
the
investigations
potential
ethics
issues
involved
in
the
reimagining
public
safety
process.
The
mayor
had
asked
me
to
share
the
outside
council,
whom
the
city
has
identified
to
conduct
that
investigation
for
the
city,
as
the
common
council
already
knows
that
individual
is
kristin
smith.
X
She
is
a
partner
at
bon
chennik
and
king,
which
is
one
of
the
leading
law
firms
in
upstate,
new
york
and
perhaps
more
importantly,
up
until
what
must
be
about
four
months
ago.
She
was
for,
I
believe,
four
years,
the
corporation
council
for
the
city
of
syracuse,
so
she
is
deeply
familiar
with
the
municipal
setting.
X
X
Here
in
ithaca
as
well
and
and
so
we
are
very
pleased
that
she
has
agreed
to
undertake
this
investigation
as
an
outside
independent
set
of
eyes,
ears
and
and
mind
for
for
the
city
and
to
provide
that
report
to
the
city.
So
that
is,
I
think,
the
basic
information.
Y
That
we
were
looking
to
share
there
and
I'm
just
looking
very
briefly
to
provide
it's
there.
I'm
sorry
ready
to
go.
X
Right
so
just
to
provide
a
reminder
that,
at
the
end
of
3.8
I
just
passed
by
council-
I
I
just
want
to
highlight
for
the
public
that
the
very
last
resolved
says
resolve
that
said.
Investigation
shall
result
in
a
final
written
report
to
me
to
be
made
publicly
available,
and
so
kristen
smith's
investigation
will
result
in
a
final
report
that
will
be
made
publicly
available.
A
And
thank
you
thank
you,
ari
for
that.
For
that
update.
A
Okay:
next,
we
will
turn
to
the
city
administration
committee,
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
chair
ken
tomorrow.
B
The
common
council
makes
the
following
findings,
but
the
protection
of
reproductive
rights
is
essential
to
health
care
and
well-being
of
individuals
that
new
york
state,
legalized
abortion
in
1970,
prior
to
the
landmark
roe
v
wade
case
enshrined
these
protections
in
the
constitution,
based
on
the
above
findings
and
consistent
with
the
10th
amendment
united
states
constitution.
The
enactment
of
this
article
is
intended
to
achieve
the
following
objectives.
B
A
no
city
resources,
including,
but
not
limited
to
time,
spent
by
employees,
officers,
contractors
or
subcontractors
while
on
duty
or
the
use
of
city
property,
shall
be
utilized
for
1..
Detaining
persons
for
performing
or
aiding
in
the
performance
of
an
abortion
within
this
state
or
in
procuring
an
abortion
in
this
state
if
the
abortion
is
performed
in
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
article
25a
of
the
public
health
law
or
any
other
applicable
new
york,
state
law
or
two
cooperating
with
or
providing
information
to
any
individual
or
out-of-state
agency
or
department.
B
The
court
in
issuing
any
final
order
in
any
section
brought
pursuant
to
this
section,
may
award
cost
of
litigation
to
the
prevailing
party
whenever
the
court
determines
such
an
award
is
appropriate.
The
section
does
not
limit
or
abrogate
any
claim
or
cause
of
action.
Such
person
has
under
common
law
or
by
other
law
or
rule
and
I'll
move.
The
rest
is
written.
B
I'm
happy
to
just
provide
preparatory
comments,
laura
that's
the
yes!
So
the
the
the
item
which
we
had
two
discussions
at
ca
about
you'll
note
that
essentially,
what
we're
doing
here
is
again
similar
to
what
we
did
with
non-non-cooperation
with
ice
investigations.
B
B
My
goodness,
sorry,
if
you
heard
those
fireworks,
I
just
went
off
outside
my
house,
they're,
not
mine
and
and-
and
I
think
the
other
germain
piece
that
that
rei
may
ask
you
to
comment
on,
as
I
have
already
is
that
we
are
explicitly
allowing
in
the
event
unlikely,
as
it
may
be,
that
someone
violates
this
prohibition
of
information
sharing.
We
are
granting
the
aggrieved
party
the
right
to
sue
us.
X
Yep,
that's
right
and
I'm
glad
to
comment.
That's
helpful.
I
I'm
not
terribly
concerned
about
the
liability
profile
for
the
city
from
that.
I
think
that's
a
very
unlikely
scenario
and
where
it
to
occur.
I
can
you
know
so
it's
a
policy
choice
for
council,
but
I
think
I
can
probably
see
why
the
city
would
want
to
provide
that.
So
I
I
have
no.
I
have
no
legal
decisions.
U
U
Are
there
potential
costs
here
in
this
provision.
X
Thanks,
george,
and
just
to
clarify
you
just
said,
even
if
it
was
undefendable,
I
think
you
mean,
even
if
the
city
had
an
iron-clad
defense,
yes
yeah,
yeah
yeah,
it's
always
possible
that
any
time
you
create
a
potential
cause
of
action.
That
means
that
people
they
may
try
to
use
it
at
some
point
and
could
sue
the
city
as
a
result
which
could
take
time
and
resources
to
defend.
So
that
is
true.
X
I,
to
the
extent
that
the
city
hadn't
violated
any
of
the
provisions
of
this
ordinance,
it's
hard
for
me
to
see
how
or
why
the
city
would
end
up
named
in
the
first
place
and
what
benefit
frankly,
that
would
provide
to
a
plaintiff.
So
again,
I
don't
harbor
any
deep
concerns
over
this
provision
being
included,
but
an
answer
to
your
question.
X
Yes,
I
do
believe
it
could
somewhat
increase
the
unlikely
but
potential
costs
to
the
city
in
the
way
of
defending
a
frivolous
action,
and
when
I
say
frivolous,
I
mean
an
action
that
named
the
city
where
the
city
in
fact
had
not
violated
this
ordinance.
L
V
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
everyone
on
the
ca
committee
and
to
robert
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
really
like
the
way
this
is
written.
It
is
very
similar
to
the
legislation
or
or
the
policies
that
we
passed
as
a
city
in
2017,
which
is
a
policy
of
non-compliance
and
non-participation
by
city
staff
and
the
enforcement
of
immigration
regulations.
V
So
I
see
this
functioning
very
much
the
same
way.
I
do
think
it's
entirely
inappropriate
for
city
staff
in
their
official
capacity
to
any
way
be
utilized
by
an
out
of
state
investigation
into
into
abortion.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
do.
There
is
one
word
that
only
stood
out
to
me
as
it
was
verbally
read
out
loud
and
to
this
I
have
a
question
for
ari.
V
It
says
that
under
article
7
and
I'm
looking
at
the
last
line,
you
know
the
purpose
and
intent
of
this
article
and
it
says
that
these
rights
are
upheld
for
all
residing
within
the
city
of
ithaca.
I
just
looked
it
up
very
quickly
that
the
definition
of
residing
means
for
those
who
live
here.
V
I
do
believe
the
intent
is
also
to
include
individuals
who
come
here
seeking
services,
even
though
they
may
not
be
a
resident
of
the
city
of
ithaca.
In
which
case
could
we
find
a
substitute
word
that
is
more
all-encompassing
and
and
not
as
limited
as
the
word
for
those
residing
in
the
city
of
ithaca.
B
V
A
Thank
you.
Cynthia
phoebe.
H
Thank
you
cynthia
and
thank
you
jorge.
My
question
is
out
of,
I
guess
not
not
being
clear,
because
hoku
passed
that
people
could
come
to
new
york
city
that
doesn't
she
didn't
it's
not.
It
doesn't
include
new
york
state.
A
You're,
referring
to
governor
hochul's
state
yeah,
yes,.
H
I
and
maybe
I'm
I
thought
she
made
it
a
safe
haven
for
people
that
wanted
to
come
to
new
york
state
or
maybe
I'm
wrong.
H
A
So
is
your
question
phoebe
if
a
resolution
such
as
this
is
necessary
in
ithaca,
if
the
governor's
statement
applies
statewide,
yes,.
A
Robert
did
you
want
to
respond
to
that?
Yes,.
B
Please
thank
you,
so
I
would
say
I
I
know
phoebe
that
she
did
as
of
two
weeks
ago,
like
yeah
declare
that
the
state
would
be
a
safe
harbor
for
those
seeking
abortions
and
her
commitment
to
abortion
rights,
and
I
know
there
there
is
there-
was
movement
and
continues
to
be
interest
around
further
policy
changes
in
legislation.
B
I
I
would
say
you
know
my
my
argument
in
favor
of
this
is,
as
we
know
right
it's
it's
I
I.
I
applaud
the
governor's
statement
until
such
time
that
all
protections
are
in
place
versus.
W
B
Is
a
what
is
a
expedient
statement
of
support?
You
know,
I
think
I
think
we
can
take
a
small
measure
to
to
extend
those
protections
here,
while
the
state
legislature
continues
to
work
on
other
reproductive
health.
A
G
Yeah
really
quickly
I'll,
be
brave.
I'm
very
supportive
of
this.
I'm
very
grateful
for
robert
for
bringing
this
up
for
us
to
go
and
to
consider
on.
F
I
think
we're
doing
a
really
important
job
here,
not
just
ensuring
reproductive
rights
and
bodily
autonomy
for
all
those
who
reside
in
ithaca
and
who
would
come
here
to
seeking
you
know
seeking
support
in
line
with
our
values,
but
I
think
we're
setting
an
important
precedent
for
other
cities.
I
believe
I
think
we
should.
F
This
should
be
a
model
for
other
states
to
be
following
in
terms
of
what
you
should
be
doing
when,
when
the
federal
government
or
state
government,
depending
where
you
are,
fails,
you-
and
so
I
applaud
this
motion.
I
look
forward
to
supporting
it
and,
I
hope,
more
more
places
throughout
the
united
states
that
are
not
as
safe
as
ithaca
do
the
same.
So.
A
Thank
you
jorge
phoebe
is
yours
a
new
hand.
H
A
All
right,
seeing
no
other
comments,
I'll
call
for
the
vote.
All
those
in
favor
of
approving
4.1.
B
Thank
you
moving

response
to

To

manage
various
public

functions
in
the
city,
consisting
of
a
unit
of
unarmed
first
responders
to
respond
to
certain
non-violent
call
types
and
a
unit
of
armed
uniformed.
First
responders,
who
shall
qualify

It's

B
Now,
therefore,
be

That

report
of
the
reimagining

working

and
thanks
the
reimagining

resolved
that

the
following
actions:
establish
a
civilian
leadership
position
with
authority
designated
by
the
mayor
to
oversee
the
city's
public
safety
response
systems.
B
Establish
an
ad
hoc
public
safety
committee,
require
community-centered
training
for
both
armed
and
unarmed,
first
responders
supply,
improved
technology
for
community
safety
efforts,
implement
improved
data
collection
and
public
reporting
of
such
data
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
common
council
commits
to
implementing
those
portions
of
the
report
with
continued
public
input
and
further
review
by
common
council.
Iso
move.
A
I
had
a
couple
of
comments
if
no
one
else
does
at
this
time.
I
did
want
to
comment
that,
in
addition
to
the
working
group
that
met
common
council
had
a
number
of
discussions
around
reimagining
public
safety,
we
debated
the
questions.
The
topics
at
the
center
of
the
working
groups
work
at
the
center
of.
In
my
view,
common
council's
work
was
centering
the
voices
especially
of
the
black
and
brown
residents
of
our
city.
A
However,
I
believe
that
is
something
that
we
are
permitted
to
do,
even
though
it
is
slightly
unusual,
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
comment
that
a
number
of
these
recommendations
here
it
says
actions
they're,
really,
recommendations.
A
There
has
been
movement
to
date
on
a
number
of
these
recommendations
so
later
in
the
agenda,
I
will
be
announcing
the
appointment
of
a
special
committee
of
common
council
members
to
carry
further
the
city-specific
recommendations
on
public
safety.
The
final
item
implement
improved
data
collection
and
public
reporting
of
such
data.
There
has
been
considerable
progress
on
that
one
item
already
with
the
public-facing
dashboard,
the
lexapol
effort
that
common
council
passed
that
will
provide
for
policy
updates,
as
well
as
for
training
for
police
officers.
A
These
initiatives
are
well
underway
and
they
directly
respond
to
the
recommendations
from
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
in
terms
of
increased
transparency,
accountability
and
providing
information
to
the
public
in
real
time,
and
I
just
wanted
to
offer
those
updates
in
response
to
not
only
this
resolution.
But
in
response
to
a
few
of
the
comments
that
were
made
during
the
public
comments
section
of
our
meeting.
A
U
Okay,
I
was
a
member
of
the
task
force
and
the
the
one
recommendation
that
we're
listed
here
that
I
have
mixed
feelings
about
is
the
one
that
establishes
a
civilian
leadership
position.
U
Sorry,
I
think
we
should
all
remember
that
the
police
are
overseen
by
a
civilian
now
and
that's
the
mayor,
and
if
we
go
to
a
city
manager
arrangement,
the
city
manager
will
be
a
civilian
overseeing
all
the
departments,
including
public
safety.
U
I've
said
many
times
that
I
think
this
arrangement
is
is
top-heavy
and
that
we
can
use
this
money
more
effectively
to
reimagine
public
safety
by
getting
more
boots
on
the
ground.
U
I
think
it's
vital
that
this
position,
the
job
description,
is
very
clear
on
what
we
want
and
and
that
it
it's
a
real
job
I
mean
so
I
I
think
that's
really
really
important
that
we
map
out
exactly
what
we
want
and
in
fact
we're
looking
for
a
full-time
chief
of
police
and
that
individual
should
should
have
some
of
these
same
qualities
that
we're
looking
for
in
a
deputy
city.
U
City
manager
or
whatever
it
is
so
that's
typical,
inarticulate
mcgonagall.
So
I'm
done.
V
I
think
it's
important
you
know,
and
and
as
you've
outlined
mayor
lewis,
this
has
been
a
long
process.
This
is
just
one
procedural
step
of
a
many
step
process
that
doesn't
end
here,
but
definitely
continues
on
to
into
the
future
and
as
as
donna
articulated
and-
and
you
know
I
mentioned
earlier
recommendation
number
one-
which
the
working
group
was
tasked
on
exploring
portions
of
it
tasked
by
council
on
exploring
portions
of
it
recommendation
number
one
did
not
come
out
of
a
community-based
effort.
V
It
came
individually
from
one
person
and
what
we
have
found
out
along
the
way
since
council
adopted
the
resolution
on
march.
31St
2021
was
that
in
the
creation
of
the
working
group
which
council
created
and
tasks
with
exploring
these
items
that
outside
groups
were
brought
in
and
contributed
significantly
to
this
report
outside
groups
which
were
neither
screened,
they
were
not
hired
by
the
city.
V
We
as
council,
it
is
our
duty
and
our
obligation
to
expect
and
demand
from
our
working
groups
the
highest
ethical
standards
based
on
what
we
know
now.
The
information
that
is
public
and
we
have
received,
I
cannot
vote
to
accept
this
report
as
a
valid
unbiased
report
of
a
unbiased
working
group.
V
I
do
appreciate
and
and
value
and
and
honor
the
work
of
the
members
of
the
working
group
who,
I
think,
got
caught
up
in
a
process
that
which
they
had
no
awareness
into
its
poor
design,
and
I
appreciate
their
work
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
their
contribution.
So
I
value
that,
but
I
cannot
in
good
conscience.
I
I
believe
it
would
be
negligent
of
me,
as
a
council
member,
to
accept
this
report
on
behalf
of
the
city.
Thank.
A
You
cynthia
you've
expressed
these
concerns
before
these
concerns
are
in
many
respects
being
addressed.
I
will
just
take
issue
as
another
member,
along
with
george
and
duckson
on
the
working
group
and
rob
gerhart
on
one
of
the
subcommittees.
A
I
can
assure
you
that
we
represented
our
community
and
that
the
working
group
represented
our
community.
We
spoke
openly
and
freely,
so
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
there
was
integrity
in
the
working
group
process,
the
eight
months
of
meetings
we
engaged
in
a
very
robust
discussion,
so
I
just
I
do
take
issue
with
some
comments
that
at
times
are
dismissive
of
the
work
of
the
working
group
members
and
I
just
felt
I
had
to
respond
to
that
phoebe.
I
see
your
hand.
H
However,
I
do
know
that
many
of
the
community
of
color
found
these
recommendations
and
actually
put
forth
many
of
these
recommendations
and,
like
I
said-
and
I
agree
with
the
the
mayor-
that
some
of
the
wording
you
know,
demeans
the
work
of
people
who
I've
lived
in
this
community
over
27
years,
I'm
losing
count
because
I
thought
I'd
be
back
in
harlem,
real,
quick
and
I'm
still
here.
However,
I
know
many
of
the
people
who
worked
on
this
are
usually
many
people
who
don't
get
involved.
H
So
I
believe
this
is
very
important
to
a
large
part
of
the
community
who
usually
stand
back
and
because
of
our
leaders
who
led
this
initiative,
this
just
reimagining
public
safety
and
at
one
time
I
really
was
like
standoffish
from
it,
but
when
I
think
of
the
people
who
stepped
up
and
got
involved
because
they
believed
in
change,
they
want
to
see
something
new,
something
fresh,
something
that
governor
cuomo
in
his
executive
203
order
asked
for
that
right
now,
you
know
I
I
I
I'm
just
want
to
thank
them.
Thank
them.
H
I've
watched
communities
who
never
never
took
this
much
interest
in
the
work
that
we
do
because
they
thought
it
would
never
come
to
fruition.
They
thought
that
nobody
was
listening
to
them,
but
they
jumped
out
there
for
this.
That
means
a
lot
to
me
and
I
hope
it
means
to
a
lot
to
people
on
this
council.
H
A
You
thank
you
ducks
and
I
see
your
hand.
Z
I
just
want
to
quickly
second,
what
phoebe
just
said
in
that
you
know.
S
Z
A
member
of
the
working
group,
the
a
lot
of
the
content
that
you
see
came
out
of
up
or
down
votes
and
yeah.
I
know
george,
for
example,
didn't
feel
qualified
to
do
call
type
delineation
and
that's
true.
I
don't
feel
fully
qualified
either,
but
the
point
of
that
exercise
was
to
kind
of
get
the
sentiment
of
the
community
and
what
made
sense
to
them.
As
lay
people.
Z
W
They
felt
safe
with
in
terms
of.
Z
Very
much
reflects
the
the
sentiments
of
the
of
the
community
and
the
people
that
we
asked
to
participate
in
that
process,
and
it's
for
that
reason
that
I
believe
very
strongly
that
we
should
accept
this
work.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
yeah
cynthia
did
you
have
another
comment.
V
Yeah,
I
thank
you
and
and
respect
that,
and
I
I
do
agree
that
the
community
input
is
is
very
reflective
in
this
report
and
I
recognize
the
insight
and
the
experience
and
the
suggestions
that
brought
forward,
and
I
believe
that
they're
strong
and
valid
I'm
looking
at
the
report
in
its
entirety
in
looking
at
the
rest
of
the
resolution
in
the
second
resolve,
for
example,
and
the
bullet
points
articulated
there
about
the
actions
which
we
will
bring
forward.
I
do
support
that
wholeheartedly.
V
V
That
the
role
of
community
members
in
this
process
is
held
with
the
the
highest
integrity
and
and
esteem,
although
I
do
again
question
that
working
group
members
were
paid
by
third
parties
without
the
approval
or
awareness
of
council,
and
I
believe
that
provides
some
question
into
the
process
itself.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Okay
final
comment:
jeffrey
before
we
vote.
T
Yeah,
so
I
just.
W
T
To
speak
to
the
resolution
itself,
because
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable
with
how
this
particular
resolution
came
to
be
and
and
mainly
for
what
laura
highlighted
you
highlighted
at
the
start
that
the
uncommon
nature
of
having
accepts
and
adopts
in
the
same
resolution.
T
I
think
that
that
speaks
to
the
confusion
that
I
referenced
earlier
by
donna's
remarks,
and
you
know,
george,
raises
valid
concerns
about
the
top
heaviness
of
of
these
proposals,
and
I
think
we
do
have
to
be
honest
about
the
fact
that
there
is
big
media
projecting
misinterpretations
and
and
of
what
we
produce
here
in
council
is
already
underway.
Doing
that
spinning
this
resolution.
T
So
I
I
would
have
wished
that
we
could
have
tightened
the
language
here
been
more
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
there
is
a
difference
between
adopt
and
accept,
and
I
understand
that
actually
this
is
none
of
this
is
really
truly
binding.
We
do
have
an
opportunity
to
to
evaluate
things
going
forward
forward
as
we
develop
this
role,
but
my
heart,
you
know,
of
course,
recognizes
what
it
takes
to
step
up
in
the
community
and
participate
in
government
to
participate
in
working
groups.
T
I
absolutely
want
to
acknowledge
and
and
and
just
thank
the
folks
who
who
took
on
a
really
challenging
issue
throughout
the
past
two
years
in
the
working
groups
and
in
common
council
who
have
been
invading
the
steadily,
but
I
also
acknowledge
the
fault.
It's
underlying
the
whole
setup
here
that
cynthia
has
pointed
out-
and
I
agree
that
until
we
know
more,
there
are
two
ongoing
investigations
until
we
know
more,
I
I
can't
stand
behind
this.
This
product.
A
Okay,
thank
you
jeffrey
I'd
like
to
move
forward
cynthia.
A
V
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
replace
in
the
first
resolve.
The
word
accepts
with
acknowledges.
A
Seeing
no
second
that
fails,
I'm
sorry
jeffrey,
were
you
seconding.
T
Yeah,
if,
if
we
could
have
the
word
accepts
in
there
that
I
think
doesn't
prove
a
lot
to
me.
A
B
Yeah
I
mean,
are
we
going
to
discuss
because
I
have
a
question:
if
that's
the
case,
otherwise
I'll
not
raise
my
hand,
I
don't
want
to
confuse
anybody.
Yeah.
V
A
Discussion
on
the
mind,
all
right
is
there
a
discussion
on
the
change
of
term
in
the
first
result
from
accepts
to
acknowledges,
and
as
we
are
discussing
this,
let
me
just
highlight
that
in
common
council
rules
of
procedure,
in
terms
it
states
very
clearly,
the
options
in
terms
of
receipt
of
reports
acknowledges
is
not
one
of
those
options,
I'll
just
state
that,
as
we
are
engaging
in
in
this
discussion,.
Z
Z
Yeah,
so
I
actually
the
original
version
of
this
that
I
drafted
adopted
the
report,
and
I
was
very
thankful
that
cynthia
and
other
members
of
council,
except
came
up
with
this
compromise
language
that,
while
unorthodox
nonetheless,
the
defining
action
here,
is
to
accept
the
report,
and
so
given
the
the
conversation
and
the
again
the
compromise
that
we
achieved
here,
I
support
it
as
written.
Thank
you.
A
B
Just
that
I
I
hear
my
colleagues
and
some
of
the
comments
that
they
raise.
I
would
just
note
that
this
past
unanimously
out
of
committee,
a
committee
which
some
colleagues
are
members
and
did
not
raise
these
objections
at
that
time,
and
so
I'm
also
going
to
vote
against
the
proposed
amendment.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
will
just
point
out,
while
I
also
will
vote
against
this
motion
to
change,
accepts
to
acknowledges.
I
I
will
point
out
that
someone's
vote
in
committee
doesn't
necessarily
bind
them
to
voting
in
it
the
exact
same
way
once
we
get
to
full
council
if.
B
Well
sure,
let
me
just
clarify,
since
that's
a
comment
on
my
comment:
I'm
not
suggesting
at
all
that
it
binds
someone
to
support
it.
I'm
suggesting
that
one
should
propose
operational
and
working
changes
in
the
committee
in
which
resolutions
are
prepared.
A
Got
it
got
it?
Okay,
jeffrey.
T
I
just
was
going
to
say
I
mean
I
deserve
the
right
to
change
my
mind
and
I
I
think
we
need
time
to
think
about
these
things
and
we
don't
always
have
ample
time
or
find
ourselves
moved
to
reconsider,
and-
and
you
know
sometimes,
you
don't
know
where
your
feelings
rest
until
you
know
until
you're
really
called
to
vote-
and
I
I
come
back
to
you
know
something
that
my
dad
told
me
right
when
I
took
office.
T
He
said
you
know
right
from
wrong
and
as
a
doctor
who
took
care
of
many
people
in
this
community-
and
I
I've
wrestled
with
this
for
a
long
time
now-
this
issue-
I
can't
I
can't
support
it
without
this-
without
a
change
of
language
here
that
that
I
think,
protects
this
body
from
more
of
the
just
infiltrations
into
our
governance
that
are
improper
that
are
being
investigated.
A
Understood,
thank
you
cynthia
and
then
phoebe
and
george
will
have
the
last
comment
and
then
I
think
we
should
call
the
question
on
this
proposed
amendment
to
the
language
cynthia.
V
V
So
I
think
to
reject
it
is
too
harsh,
but
I
also
think
except
looks
aside
at
the
the
questions
with
regards
to
the
report,
so,
which
is
why
I'm
proposing
this
alternate
language
which,
if
adopted,
I
would
be
able
to
wholeheartedly
vote
for
the
rest
of
the
resolution.
V
A
All
right,
thank
you,
phoebe
and
then
george.
H
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
do
not
want
to
see
this
amendment
amended
and
I
also
someone
who've
been
hearing.
The
word
wait
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember
and
to
know
that
people
like
me
have
been
hearing
the
word.
Wait
for
as
long
as
we
can
remember,
it
is
imperative
that
we
move
on.
A
I'll
know
better
next
time,
okay,
the
question
has
been
called
on
the
proposal.
The
motion
that
cynthia
moved
jeffrey
seconded
to
change
you.
V
A
X
A
Let's
go
to
vote
all
right,
so
the
motion
has
been
made
by
cynthia
seconded
by
jeffrey
all
those
in
favor
of
in
the
first
resolved.
A
W
A
So
george,
did
you
have
another
comment.
U
Not
on
that
change,
no,
I
I
have
a
question
about
the
set.
The
second
resolved.
A
Z
V
A
V
A
So
they
were
early
in
the
agenda,
folks,
colleagues,
so
the
second
resolved
remains
that
common
council
adopts
the
following
actions.
A
B
Moving
to
four
4.3
established
deputy
chief
of
staff
for
public
safety,
whereas
on
june
12
2020
governor
cuomo
issued
executive
order
203,
which
charged
local
governments
to
perform
a
comprehensive
review
of
current
police
police.
Excuse
me,
police
force
deployments
strategies,
policies,
procedures
and
practices
and
develop
a
plan
to
improve
such
deployments,
strategies,
policies,
procedures
and
practices
for
the
purpose
of
addressing
the
particular
needs
of
the
community,
served
by
such
police
agency
and
promote
community
engagement,
to
foster
trust
fairness
and
legitimacy
and
to
address
any
racial
bias
and
disproportion
of
policing
communities
of
color.
B
Memorandum
of
agreement
and
interest
arbitration
awards,
as
applicable
and
remaining
subject
to
all
duties
and
obligations
required
of
them
under
each
of
the
foregoing.
And
under
the
rules
and
regulations
of
the
ithaca
police
department
and
whereas
on
march,
2nd
2022.
The
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
affirmed
that
civilian
leadership
of
public
safety
is
necessary
to
cultivate
a
culture
of
service
and
transparency
and
to
provide
extensive
project
management
and
interdisciplinary
leadership
skills.
And
whereas,
on
june
6
2022,
the
common
council
discussed
establishing
a
deputy
chief
staff
for
public
safety.
B
That
would
ensure
civilian
oversight
of
relevant
departments
and
comply
with
the
aforementioned
parameters
for
organizational
redesign.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
common
council
reaffirms
its
support
for
civilian
leadership
and
city's
public
safety
departments
and
be
it
further
resolved.
The
common
council
directs
the
acting
mayor
to
establish
a
job
description
no
later
than
december.
31St
2022
for
a
deputy
chief
of
staff
for
public
safety
to
aid
in
the
discharge
of
their
civilian
oversight,
disciplinary
and
budgetary
duties
and
be
a
further
resolve.
B
The
common
council
directs
the
acting
mayor
to
include
in
the
fy
2023
budget,
all
necessary
monies
to
hire
and
support
a
deputy
chief
of
staff
for
public
safety
and
be
it
further
resolved.
The
common
council
directs
the
mayor
to
provide
a
written
evaluation
of
the
impact
of
civilian
oversight,
including
feedback
from
the
community
and
council
no
later
than
december
31
2023
and
be
it
further
resolved.
The
council
commits
to
implement
any
additional
necessary
reforms
to
ensure
adequate
and
effective
civilian
oversight
of
the
city's
public
safety
responsibilities.
Iso
move.
F
Can
I
make
an
amendment
to
some
of
the
language
and
I
believe,
the
fifth
whereas
beginning
on,
whereas
on
june
6.,
if
we
could
just
change
some
of
the
language
just
include
between
relevant
departments
and
and
comply?
If
we
can
include
this
for
specificity's
sake
of
armed
and
unarmed
responders,
so
just
clarifying
this
is
pertaining
to
armed
and
unarmed
responders,
just
for
specifically
sake
when
we're
talking
about
city
departments.
A
Okay,
do
you
want
to
please
read
that
one
more
time
with
the
change,
I'm.
B
Happy
to
read,
I
believe,
jorge,
tell
me
if
this
is
reflective,
whereas
on
june
6th
2022
I'm
in
the
fifth
paragraph
now
the
common
council
discussed
establishing
a
deputy
chief
of
safety,
a
chief
of
staff
for
public
safety
that
would
ensure
civilian
oversight
of
relevant
departments.
B
X
I
wonder
if
council
wants
to
consider
relevant
departments,
including
armed
and
unarmed
responders,
which
I
think
might
be
more
accurate
of
the
history
there,
but.
AA
A
Do
you
approve
of
the
what
has
just
been.
A
Phoebe,
I
just
need
your
vote
on
whether
this
is
a
friendly
change,
given
that
you're
the
second
I
second,
I
mean
yes,
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Thanks
laura
I'll
just
one
quick
comment
to
respond
to
one
of
the
pieces
of
concern
that
some
colleagues
raised
earlier
this
evening.
I
would
just
draw
everyone's
attention
to
the
second
to
last
resolved.
I
understand
that
folks
have
some
concerns
about
sorting
out
how
things
might
look
operationally,
and
I
think
that
is
er.
That
should
you
should
be.
Your
concerns
should
be
laid
by
the
fact
that
we
are
in
fact
going
to
direct
for
a
written
evaluation
of
the
impact
of
of
proposed
position.
Jeff.
B
I
know
in
particular
you
raised
a
concern
about
you
know
the
utility
of
the
position
and
things
like
that,
and
I
you
know
I
respectfully
disagree,
but
I
also
point
you
to
this
as
it
will,
we
will
get
some
data
from
this
about
the
impact
it's
had
on
on
on
the
concerns
that
that
were
raised
in
your
comments,
as
well
as
the
comments
and
concerns
that
were
raised
in
in
donna's
letter
that
you
shared
with
us.
A
Thank
you
cynthia
and
then
duckson.
V
I'm
wondering
if
we
want
to
include
some
flexibility
in
this
language.
The
sense
that
I
get
from
our
discussion
that
I
got
from
our
discussion
in
june
was
that
there
was
overall
consensus
that
it
it's
beneficial
in
terms
of
a
public
safety
response
to
have
someone
who
has,
as
part
of
their
death
their
title
and
job
description
to
oversee
and
coordinate
public
safety,
both
in
the
form
of
you
know,
mental
health
or
or
actually
coordinating
with
the
county
mental
health.
V
V
And
I
say
that
just
looking
at
so,
for
example,
the
the
third
resolved,
perhaps
there's
some
some
wiggle
room,
you
know
being
very
mindful,
as
as
george
mentioned,
you
know,
we
don't
want
to
be
too
hot
top
heavy
and
also
gives
some
opportunity,
as
we
go
into
this
budget
season,
in
really
understanding
that
we
may
not
have
the
kind
of
funding
and
flexibility
that
we
might
desire
in
terms
of
taking
on
new
positions
and
the
obligations
that
they
entail.
A
Z
Yeah,
I
it's
not
a
big
enough
deal
for
me
to
move
change,
but
the
the
friendly
amendments
that
were
just
made.
I
personally
object
to.
I
think
that
I
know
the
fire
ship
doesn't
agree
and
I
think
suggested
that
change,
but
I
do
want
to
see
a
holistic
public
safety
effort
that
certainly
includes
fire
and
perhaps
one
day,
ems
writing
parking
tickets.
Everything
that
cynthia
just
mentioned
so
just
noting
personal
objection.
But
again
it's
not
a
big
enough
deal
for
for
this,
at
least
for
me,
to
make
a
change
thanks.
A
Thanks
chuck,
I
had
a
comment
and
then
I'll
turn
to
george
the
second
resolved.
I
would
like
to
add
that
common
council
directs
the
acting
mayor
to
work
with
hr
to
establish
a
job
description.
A
H
Of
the
job
description-
yes,
I
don't
know.
If
that's
is
that
possible,
you
know.
Maybe
it's
not
I'm
not
real,
clear
yeah,
and
if
it's
not
that's
okay,
I
just
I
just
would
love
to
see
community
also,
you
know,
could
be
community
community
member,
but
I'd
love
to
see
them
also
involved
if
it's
possible,
if
not
that's
okay,
because
I
trust
jelly
and
I
trust
you.
A
Thank
you
phoebe.
For
that
note
of
trust,
I
think
in
terms
of
establishing
a
position
description.
That
is
one
part.
I
certainly
take
your
point
about
wanting,
as
I
would
community
involvement
in
searching.
A
H
A
There
is
a
job
description,
but
I
would
rely
on
hr
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
a
comprehensive
and
inclusive
position
description
and
then
we
would
get
into
searching
and
and
hiring
and
and
here
clearly
we
do
not
have
job
descriptions.
A
Yet
that
is
work
that
remains
before
us
and,
as
many
of
us
have
said
over
the
last
just
even
recent
months,
there
is
a
considerable
amount
of
work
before
us.
We
have
work
ahead
of
us
and
I
think
this
gives
us
a
clear
road
map
to
move
forward
on
some
of
that
work.
I
I
don't
think
it
has
to
be
exhaustive.
A
There
may
be
other
things
that
come
up
in
particular,
as
the
special
committee
is
appointed
and
begins
their
work.
Thank.
P
U
Yeah
I'd
just
like
to
say
I
I
agree
with
duck.
I
think
this
should
be
holistic
language,
because,
if
we're
going
to
have
a
this
position,
this
highly
paid
position,
it
eventually
should
either
be
a
temporary
position
to
get
the
police
department
and
the
unarmed
contingent
on
the
right
track,
or
it
should
incorporate
other
departments.
A
We
have
not
included
in
our
earlier
discussions
more
broadly,
encompassing
other
departments,
so
I'm
reluctant
to
add
that
in
at
this
point
that
may
be
a
goal
and
once
again
that
may
be
something
that
the
special
committee
discusses.
But
I'm.
A
V
Would
it
be
a
consideration
to
say
again
I'm
going
back
to
providing
flexibility
when
we
come
to
budget
time
and
and
deciding
how
to
best
to
move
forward?
Common
council
directs
the
acting
mayor
to
establish
a
job
description
no
later
than
december,
31st
for
deputy
chief
of
staff
for
public
safety
or
similar
position
or.
V
V
V
B
V
Okay,
so
do
we
want
to
say
or
similar
position
or
are
we
are
we
commit?
We
are
saying
right
now
we
are
creating
this
position.
Is
that
what
we
are
saying,
because
I've
heard
in
comment
earlier,
both
from
jeff
and
george
some
hesitation
with
regards
to
creating
this
position,
I
don't.
I
haven't
heard
hesitation
that
there
should
be
an
individual
with
this
responsibility.
V
T
I
think
it
asks
that
this
I
mean,
I
guess
my
my
confusion
here
is
a
what
happens
if
ithacans
vote
for
the
referendum
to
establish
a
city
manager
and
we've
initiated
this,
is
it
a
move
point
because
we're
talking
about
a
much
more
comprehensive
restructuring?
In
that
case,
that's
going
to
be
implemented,
I
assume,
as
soon
as
we
can
hire
a
city
manager
right.
W
T
Okay,
that
helps
thank
you,
yeah
and
then
just
the
other
question
I
would
add,
is
you
know
what
I
think
it
was
in
our
cow
from
last
month?
You
know
where
we
came
to
this.
This
conclusion
that
we
should
develop.
This
role
was
a
desire
for
it
to
have
teeth,
and
I
guess
my
question
is:
I'm
not
quite
sure
where
the
teeth
is
where
their
teeth
are
in
this.
A
T
A
As
robert,
do
you
want
to
comment
on
that.
W
B
B
You
I
would
say
to
take
your
second
question.
First
jeff,
I
think
the
teeth
are,
as
cynthia
helpfully
pointed
out,
the
mayor's
civilian
oversight,
disciplinary
and
budgetary
duties
that
will
be
a
specialized
function
of
a
another
senior
staff
personnel
in
the
mayor's
office
to
exercise
close
attention
to
detail
and
operations
of
our
public
safety
departments.
B
To
the
first
part
I
I
may
be,
maybe
your
question
was
answered,
and
maybe
I
don't
fully
understand,
but
I
believe
in
that
same
cow,
we
discussed
not
wanting
to
wait
until
a
possible
city
manager.
I
mean,
I
think,
actually
cynthia.
I
think
it
was
you
who
said
like
there's
no
reason
for
us
to
keep
waiting
on
this.
You
know
because
the
city
manager
is
so
far
off.
B
You
could
see
this
position
transform
into
you
know
a
deputy
city
manager
or
whatever
right,
but,
like
I,
I
think,
some
of
that
flexibility
concern
is
inbuilt
into
this.
This
is
to
the
point.
Other
colleagues
have
made
right
a
statement
of
we're
going
to
create
a
job
description
and
set
aside
monies
to
do
this
and
get
it
up
and
rolling
and
we're
not
gonna.
We're
not
gonna
continue
to
wait,
and
I
know
phoebe's
also
mentioned
that
you
know
waiting
is
not
really
a
strategy
for
us
to
to
problem
solve.
W
X
Go
ahead,
ari,
thank
you
and
I'll.
Just
add
that
to
jeff's
point
of
a
moment
ago,
about
this
potentially
being
temporary,
I
mean
you
can
call
it
temporary
and
you
can
talk
about
the
transition
that
may
occur
to
city
manager,
but
the
legislation
for
city
manager
already
details
how
the
mayor's
authorities
would
transfer
to
a
city
manager
if
approved,
and
I
I
I
don't
think
it's
really.
I
don't
think
that
these
two
are
deeply
interrelated.
X
I
think
there
is
one
choice
which
is:
does
council
want
to
create
somebody
high
up
in
the
administration
associated
currently
within
the
city
with
the
mayor's
office,
and
what
in
the
future
might
be
the
city
manager's
office?
Who
is
a
civilian
with
this
kind
of
oversight
and
the
other
question
which
is
really
a
relatively
separate
one
there
they
are
a
little
bit
interrelated,
but
mostly
separate
is
on
the
ballot
this
fall,
which
is
whether
we
want
a
city
manager.
I
don't.
X
I
don't
believe
that
it's
fair
to
argue
that
those
two
are
are
so
completely
dependent
on
each
other,
that
you
can't
do
one
until
you've
figured
out
the
other.
U
Yes,
if
memory
serves
the
one
of
the
main
reasons
we
chose,
this
route
was
so
that
the
chief
of
police
would
remain
the
head
of
his
department.
U
U
And
that's
that's
why
I
can
support
this
because
we're
basically
putting
together
a
job
description
and
and
indicating
that
the
mayor
will
have
to
study
how
well
this
is
working,
and
so
I
I
think
those
are
good
things.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
george.
Thank
you
for
all
the
questions
and
comments.
Are
we
ready
to
vote
now
on
4.3.
B
I'll
remind
colleagues
that
4.4
was
deleted
from
the
agenda
in
the
interest
of
considering
a
member
file,
so
I
will
now
turn
to
4.5
a
local
law
to
adopt
new
ward
boundaries.
B
Now,
therefore
be
enacted
by
the
common
council
of
the
city
of
ethical
as
follows.
Section
one,
the
common
council
of
the
city
determines
that
it
is
in
the
interest
of
the
public
welfare
to
adopt
the
ward
map,
commonly
known
as
the
working
group's
final
2022
proposed.
Redistricting
plan
scenario,
alt
4cv3,
dividing
the
city
into
five
separate
words
from
each
of
which
two
older
persons
shall
be
elected.
B
The
common
council
recognize
that,
based
on
the
2020
census,
this
will
result
in
a
population
deviation
spread
of
approximately
3.66
percent
between
the
least
and
most
populous
of
these
wards.
The
text
of
section
c3
ward
boundaries
is
currently
contained
in
the
other
city
charter
and
last
ratified
by
local
law.
2
of
2020
of
2012
excuse
me
is
hereby
repealed
and
replaced
with
the
following
text.
X
W
A
And
is
there
who
seconded
did
I
miss
that.
A
Okay,
I
saw
jorge's
hand
up.
Is
there
any
discussion?
We
have
discussed
this
a
number
of
times
already.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
redistricting
committee
once
again,
but
let's
move
to
the
roll
call
vote,
I
didn't
see
any
questions
or
discussion
so.

4.6
authorization
to
approve
master
license
agreement
for
18q
wireless
facilities,
whereas
new
singular
wireless
pcs,
llc
at
t
has
expressed
interest
in
installing
new
wireless
small
cell
facilities
and
utility
poles
situated
within
the
city's
right
of
way
and
whereas
on
may
6
2020,
the
common
council
approved
and
in
october
2021
amended
a
master
license.
Agreements
containing
substantially
similar
terms
and
authorized
a
fee
structure
for
wireless
facilities
using
polls
within
the
city's
right-of-way.
B
The
city
will
retain
authority
over
installations
within
the
city's
right
of
way,
including
small
cell
facilities
contemplated
by
att
and
whereas
the
contemplated
master
license
agreement
does
not
in
and
of
itself
authorized
or
otherwise.
Constant
approval
of
the
installation
of
any
particular
wireless
facility
which
will
be
subject
to
review
and
approval
by
the
city
pursuant
to
the
telecoms
provisions
and
the
terms
of
mathematics
agreement
once
executed.
A
X
It
is
it's
yeah
that
the
483
issue
is
extremely
minor
again
for
the
public's
benefit.
The
red
line
now,
with
the
addition
of
483
should
council
accept
it
is
showing
how
this
differs
from
the
verizon
master
license
agreement
that
council
approved
previously
is
included
in
the
agenda
packet,
so
you
can
see
exactly
what
has
changed.
X
The
short
version
of
it
is
not
much
has
changed
it's
very
little,
it's
extremely
similar
and,
as
explained
by
committee,
the
city's
baseline
obligation
here
is
to
provide
once
we
have
authorized
a
master
license
agreement
with
one
carrier,
which
was
verizon
that
the
council
previously
authorized.
We
need
to
provide
a
comparable
master
license
agreement
to
other
carriers
that
also
want
to
operate
in
the
city.
X
So
we
have
a
legal
obligation
to
do
that
and
again,
we've
included
the
red
line
to
show
everyone
how
incredibly,
similar
and
fully
comparable
this
master
license.
Agreement
is
to
the
verizon
one.
It's
the
vast
majority
of
it
is
word
for
word
identical
and
the
adjustments
are
minor
clarifications
by
march,
and
so
that's
that's
that's
what
this.
A
Is
yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
aryan.
Thank
you
for
finding
for
finding
that
it
is
not
any
substantive
change
and
there
was
a
great
deal
of
work
that
went
into
this
master
license
agreement
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
So
any
other
comments
on
this
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
do
we
need
a
roll
call
on
this
vote.
A
B
It
has
been
apparent
that
each
of
the
four
boilers
has
developed
issues
with
leaks
maintenance
problems
and
failures,
resulting
in
a
loss
of
adequate
redundancy
and
reliability
needed
for
the
essential
heating
of
the
ithaca
area,
waste
water
treatment
facility
and
for
essential
process
heating,
and
whereas
a
professional
conditional
survey
of
the
four
boilers
by
mrb
consultants
in
2020
described
the
following,
whereas
the
dual
fuel
cast
iron
boiler
is
no
longer
functional
and
whereas
the
replacement
of
the
ithaca
area
wastewater
treatment
facility
cast
iron,
dual
fuel
boiler
with
two
high
efficiency
non-condensing
packet
boilers
is
a
recommendation.
B
The
purpose
of
funding
said
bullet
replacement
for
a
total
proctored
authorization
of
six
hundred
and
sixty
eight
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
be
a
further
resolve
that
funds
necessary
for
said,
replacement
of
the
non-functional
cast
iron
boiler
would
be
derived
from
following
sources
determined
by
the
state
controller
operating
funds
fund,
balance,
serial
bonds,
capital
reserves,
grants
and
federal
stimulus
funds.
Iso
move.
A
And
is
there
a
second
cynthia?
Thank
you
discussion.
A
I
had
one
question
and
that
is
these:
are
emergency
funds
as
a
result
of
equipment
that
has
outlived
its
service
life.
Are
we
aware
of
other
equipment
reaching
end
of
useful
life
service
that
should
be
planned
for
so
there
aren't
future
emergency
situations,
I'm
not
sure
cynthia.
Thank
you.
As
chair
of
sjc,
you
may
be
the
best
person
to
respond
to
that.
V
Yeah
there's
a
confluence
of
events,
as
it
mentions
here,
we
do
have
four
boilers.
Two
of
the
boilers
are
relatively
new.
They
were
very
high
efficiency
boilers,
but
we
discovered
belatedly
that
they
were
not
appropriately
designed
for
an
industrial
environment
such
as
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
in
terms
of
the
types
of
particulates
in
the
air
and
so
on,
and
so
those
two
boilers
have
failed
prematurely.
V
We
are
planning
to
replace
those,
but
because
of
the
lack
of
redundancy
that
we
are
now
down
three
boilers
out
of
four:
this
creates
an
emergency
environment
that
necessitates
us
taking
initial
action
right
now
we
will
be
replacing
the
other
two
boilers
after
we
get
this.
The
oldest
boiler

Okay,
thank

Is
there
a

rob?
Thank
you.
It's
rob
g
and
I
see
that
aaron,
cudahy
and
jane
brady
is
here
with
us.
Did
you
have
any
comments
to
make,
and
hopefully
you
can
respond
to
any
questions
council
members
may
have.
AB
Emily
hi
everyone,
I'm
erin,
cudahy
the
city's
transportation
engineer.
I
know
most
people
here
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
me.
Hi
I've
been
in
my
role
since
february
of
last
year,
I'm
here
with
jane
today
to
talk
about
this
item,
and
hopefully
it
will
be
a
not
too
controversial
one.
Next
time
I
write
a
resolution.
AB
I
will
try
to
make
it
shorter.
I
but
robert
I'm
really
impressed
by
your
really
quick
reading
out
loud
skills.
This
this
project
is
so
basically
if
it
wasn't
clear
from
the
resolution,
the
city
currently
has
a
grant
from
new
york
state.
It's
a
new
york
state
department
of
environmental
conservation,
climate,
smart
communities,
grant.
AB
We
currently
have
one
already
in
partnership
with
the
dia
to
fund
their
programs,
including
the
go
ithaca
program
which
jane
brady
who's
on
the
call
tonight
with
me
is
in
charge
of,
and
this
this
resolution
is
to
allow
me
basically
to
apply
for
a
second
grant
from
the
same
program
to
continue
the
work
that
jane
and
the
go
ithaca
team
and
the
dia
are
doing
to
basically
help
the
community
find
and
access
and
use
other
modes
of
transportation.
AB
Other
than
just
driving
your
own
single
car,
the
dia
and
the
go
ithaca
program
have
been
doing
a
really
great
job
in
getting
people
signed
up
for
their
program
for
getting
people
signed
up
to
to
the
benefits
that
they
offer
that
are
free
for
anyone
who
currently
for
anyone
who
lives
or
works
in
the
downtown
ithaca
area,
and
with
this
grant
we
would
be
not
we
really
jane
and
her
team
would
be
expanding
the
work
that
they
do
further
into
the
urbanized
area,
so
not
just
downtown,
I
think
about
other
parts
of
the
county
as
well.
AB
This
needs
are
your
approval,
because
it
I
need
to
apply
for
a
grant,
and
I
would
the
city
would
be
fronting
the
money,
essentially
that
we
would
be
paid
back
through
the
grant
and
there
is
a
local
match,
but
that
would
not
come
from
city
funds
that
would
come
from
dia
funds.
The
same
way
that
the
dia
is
currently
handling
the
grant
that
they
have
now
that
will
be
expiring
soon,
jane.
Is
there
anything
you
would
like
to
to
add.
AC
I
think
that
really
summed
it
up
aaron.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
just
want
to
add
that
I
think
the
go
ithaca
program
is
a
really
great
thing
for
our
community.
AB
We
well
not
really,
so
we
would
be
applying
for
the
grant
and
then
assuming
that
we
get
the
grant,
then
yes,
who
could
help
me
on
this?
Who
is
more
familiar
with
this
than
I
am.
A
I
think
my
sense
is
that,
with
other
similar
proposals,
we
would
be
approving
this
contingent
upon
grant
approval
the
awarding
of
the
grant.
If
the
grant
is
not
awarded,
then
it
would
require
a
change.
So
the
city,
as
I
understand
it-
and
I
believe
ari
is
still
here
so
correct
me.
If
I'm
mistaken,
if
the
grant
is
not
approved,
then
the
city
would
not
be
left
responsible
for
those
funds.
AB
A
V
AC
There
is
no
guarantee
that
we
would
be
awarded
it
again,
but
we
would
be
eligible
to
reapply
to
do
similar
functions
if
we
continue
to
be
successful
as
we
have
been
and
we
are
exploring
for
the
future
alternative
funding
models
for
this
project,
but
due
to
the
pandemic.
Unfortunately,
we
didn't
see
the
level
of
support
that
we
really
needed
for
this
project,
which
is
why
we're
applying
for
for
a
grant
for
the
next
three
years
as
we
develop
ways
to
sustain
it
for
the
future.
V
We've
now
created
programs
to
which
people
are
dependent,
and
then
the
obligation
presumably
would
be
on
the
city
to
continue
the
programs
and
funding
them,
and
so
I'm
wanting
to
make
sure
that
once
we
start
something,
we
actually
have
access
to
fund
it
into
the
future,
because
everyone
will
come
to
rely
on
this
and
then
obviously
at
1.2
million
over
three
years.
This
is
not
an
insignificant
commitment
on
behalf
of
the
city,
especially
for
presumably
what
we're
not
city
residents
right,
if
they're
commuting
in
from
outside.
AA
A
Can
be
collected
in
the
three
years
if
awarded
the
grant,
any
data
that
can
be
collected
over
the
three
years
would
then
substantiate
application
for
another
grant.
I
do
not
believe
there's
anything
in
this
resolution
or
any
expectation
that
the
city
would
be
financially
responsible
for
a
program
after
the
terms
of
this
grant.
AB
So
there
are
some
things
that
the
grant
pays
for
like,
for
instance,
if,
if
ithaca
car
share,
needs
to
or
wants
to
give
completely
free
car
share
memberships
to
some
people
instead
of
just
discounted
because
they're,
particularly
of
need,
they
can
fund
that
through
this
program
or
I,
I
think
that
this
program
kind
of
goes
helps.
AB
Our
community
partners
go
above
and
beyond
what
they
currently
do
in
offering
the
community
services
transportation
services
and
then
also
provides
the
money
for
the
go
ithaca
staff
to
run
the
program
and
provides
the
money
for
the
go
ithaca
staff
to
do
outreach
and
contact
all
the
businesses
locally
to
to
try
to
get
them
to
sign
up.
You
know
company-wide
to
do
transportation,
demand
management
or
tdm
programs.
AB
So
I
I
it's
interesting
and
I
never
really
thought
of
of
what
you
were
saying.
Cynthia
and
I
kind
of
understand
your
concern,
but
there's
nothing
in
this
that
the
city
need
be
responsible
for
the
reason
we're
involved
really
is
just
because
the
dia
is
not
allowed
to
apply
for
this
grant
and
we,
as
their
partner,
apply
on
their
behalf.
B
Just
a
tiny
point
to
say,
in
addition
to
being
highly
supportive
of
this,
I
would
note
that,
when
considering
awarding
grants
of
this
size,
the
agency
typically
considers
the
sustainability
plan
submitted
as
part
of
the
merits
of
the
proposal
cynthia,
and
so
hopefully
that
will
alleviate
some
of
that
concern.
B
Given
that
there
will
be
a
requirement
under
most
conditions
to
describe
how
a
project
would
be
sustained
beyond
the
initial
grant
period.
H
Okay,
so
my
next
question
is
have
y'all
so
when,
when
we
talk
about
sustainability-
and
we
talk
about
so
I'm
always
thinking
of
how
do
we
make
people
whole
right
and
how,
in
which
way
you
get
this
big
grant
like?
How
is
that
going
to
make
people
whole
in
our
community?
You
know
in
which
way
will
people
so
is
this
a
is
this?
Is
there
something
in
this
grant
that
people
will
be
able
to
own
their
own
cars,
or
you
know,
have
leeways
of
finding?
AC
Yes,
so
to
your
point
about
cars,
this
grant
does
not
support
car
purchase
because
the
purpose
of
this
grant
is
to
help
people
try
and
use
alternative
modes
of
transportation,
and
so
there's
two
ways
that
we
support.
As
you
say,
making
people
whole
in
that
a
lot
of
people
face
barriers
to
trying
a
different
mode
of
transportation,
be
it
riding
their
bike
to
work
or
taking
the
bus
and
there's
a
number
of
different
barriers.
AC
It's
it
might
be
costs,
but
it
might
be
understanding
the
system
and
and
learning
it,
and
so
that's
the
first
part
of
what
we
do
is
we
help
support
the
trying
of
it
and
then
we
also
help
support
the
sustaining
of
it,
and
we
do
have
25
members
in
what
we're
calling
our
easy
access
program,
which
helps
supports.
Low-Income
individuals
in
ithaca,
and
these
people
specifically
are
are
in
dire
need
of
transportation
support.
Q
AC
H
H
We
talk
about
an
area
in
which,
if
someone
has
to
get
out
at
the
middle
of
the
night
to
take
their
children
to
the
hospital,
is
there
a
program
that
will
assist
them,
that
they
cannot,
that
they
they
have
access
to
get
to
the
hospital
and
not
and
can
leave
their
bike
in
in
the
shed,
because
they
can't
ride
a
bike
up
to
cayuga
medical
center.
So
so
those
are
things
that
I
would
love
to
know
if
these
are
things
that
are
discussed
and
talked
about
and
looked
at
yeah.
AC
Has
a
program
which
is
called
backup
ride,
home
and
people
that
are
members
of
go
ithaca
are
automatically
enrolled
in
this
program
and
the
name
is
a
little
bit
misleading
because
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
ride
home,
but
what
it
does
is
it
allows
people
who
normally
use
an
alternate
mode
of
transportation,
such
as
the
bus
or
bike,
or
walk
to
be
able
to
have
that
security.
AC
If
there
is
weather,
if
something
happens
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
they
are
able
to
call
this
number
and
get
a
ride
arranged
for
them,
and
we
offer
additional
backup
ride
homes
for
people
that
are
in
our
easy
access
program
who
really
need
that
additional
support.
So
I
think
that's
probably
the
best
mechanism
that
we
have
that
kind
of
encompasses
what
you're
talking
about.
I
don't
know
if
aaron
had
anything
else
to
add
on
that
one.
AC
AB
Do
I
spoke
too
soon
because
I
I'm
sorry
phoebe.
I
just
wanted
to
add
something.
I
hear
what
you're
saying
and
we
are
also
working
on
jane
and
I
and
tcat
and
other
community
partners
like
unbroken
promises,
initiative
and
south
side
community
center.
We
are
working
on
a
different
grant
right
now,.
AC
AB
Applying
for
that,
tcat
is
actually
the
leader
for
this
grant.
It's
a
nyserda
electric
mobility,
it's
called
the
nyserda
electric
mobility
prize,
it's
seven
million
dollars
and
we've
been
meeting
weekly,
a
big
team
of
us
transportation
folks,
working
together
to
put
together
an
amazing
application
and
that.
L
AB
Have
different
kinds
of
transportation
in
it
and
something.
AB
That
that's
that
that's,
including,
is
a
new
car
service
that
will
be
run
well,
two
kind
of
new
car
services
that
will
be
run
by
tcat
and
by
upi
on
west
hill.
I.
AB
Of
that
is
to
get
people
to
go
where
they
need
to
go
in
electric
vehicles,
but
cars,
and
you
know
understanding
that
not
everybody
is
gonna
bike
everywhere
and
not
everybody
is
gonna
bike
in
the
winter,
and
you
are
here
for
a
lot
of
things,
so
we're
also
working
on
a
separate
grant
application.
A
Now
it's
a
lot
of
information.
There's
a
lot
of
information
there
are
we
ready
to
vote
on
4.8.
B
Final
voting
item
for
city
administration
items
is
4.9
standard,
workday
and
reporting
resolution
for
elected
and
appointed
officials,
whereas
the
new
york
state
retirement
system
requires
the
time
worked
by
elected
and
appointed
officials
be
reviewed
to
establish
a
standard
workday
for
the
purposes
of
retirement
credit,
and
whereas
the
state
recognizes
that
elected
officials
do
not
work
preset
schedules,
but
requires
the
retirement
credit
be
based
on
time
actually
worked.
B
And
whereas
common
council
members
enrolled
in
the
new
york
state
retirement
system
were
asked
to
keep
a
record
of
activities
of
daily
details
of
any
time
spent
returning
phone
calls
drafting
correspondence,
attending
meetings
or
other
duties
spent
fulfilling
their
role
as
elected
officials
for
three
months
to
establish
the
standard.
Workday.
B
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
of
ithaca
hereby
establishes
the
following
standard:
workdays
for
common
council
members
enrolled
in
the
new
york
state
retirement
system
and
will
report
these
officials
to
the
new
york
state
and
local
retirement
system
based
on
their
record
of
activities.
And
you
can
see
those
here.
I
still
move.
A
And
shelly
is
here:
shelley.
Did
you
have
any
comments
you
wanted
to
make
on
this
resolution.
AD
So,
yes,
just
to
say
that
this
is
done
in
order
to
determine
service
credit
for
individuals
and
service.
Credit
is
what's
required
in
determining
what
your
retirement
benefits
are
so,
and
I
will
say
that
I
I
have.
We
had
some
technical
difficulties.
So
all
the
person
brown's
information
is
not
in.
She
is
working
on
her
record
of
activity
as
we
speak
so.
AD
Oh,
it's
it's
so
six
hours,
and
actually
the
system
is
so
interesting.
You
even
though
you
may
have
a
lower
number.
Six
is
the
minimum
and
eight
is
the
maximum.
So
every
I
know
so
every
every
position
or
every
title
is
between
six
and
eight.
A
V
AD
U
B
Just
remind
folks,
we
did
strike
4.10
and
4.11,
and
I
would
also
just
note
faith
texted
me
and
she
is
stuck
in
the
waiting
room.
F
Cynthia
6.1
resolution
urging
the
nlrb
to
recognize
the
closure
of
the
college
avenue

store
as
an
illegal
anti-union
tactic,
meant
to
retaliate
and
fire
starbucks
employees
to
exercising
their
right
to
form
a
union,
whereas
starbucks
employees,
at
all
three
of
the
stores
in
ithaca,
voted
to
unite
in

to
have
a
voice
in

conditions

all
over

country
that
started
in
buffalo
and
has
now
splits,
almost
200

has
engaged
in
a
massive
anti-union
campaign
that
has
led
to
national
labor
relations.

issuing
complaints
for
more
than
200
separate
violations,
including
retaliatory
firings,
closing,

working
the
402
college
avenue
starbucks
went
on
strike
on
april
16
2022
to
protest
unsafe
working
conditions
as
a
grease
trap,
overflowed
creating
a
foul

a
slippery
slipping
hazard
that
was
neglected
by
management,
who
originally
told
workers
that
repairs
would
be
delayed
for
later
in
the
week.
Instead
of
later
that
day.

Whereas
the

to
close
the
ithaca

located
on

college
avenue,
despite
its
location
in
a
high
traffic,
profitable
area
and
giving
workers,
only
one
week's
notice

is
clearly
another
example
of
union
busting
and
whereas,
on

I
sorry,
whereas
on
june
21st
2022,
the
national
labor
relations
board
region.
Three
buffalo
regional
director,
linda
and
leslie
petitioned
the
united
states
district
court
for
injunctive
relief
for
seven
former
starbucks
employees
in
buffalo.
F
New

who
were
unlawfully
fired
for
exercising
their
right

To
fully
notify

the
protections

starbucks
will
achieve
its
goal
through
unlawful
means
of
irreparably
harming
the
campaign
in
buffalo
and
sending
a
clear
chilling
message
to
his
employees
across
the
country.
F
Bargain
now,
therefore,
be
a
result
that
the
ithaca
common
council
condemns,
in
the
sharpest
term,
starbucks
virulent
and
brutal
anti-union
attacks
on
its
own
workers
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
common
council
demands
that
starbucks
sign
the
fair
elections
principles
and
be
it
further
resolve.
The
city
of
ithaca
urges
the
national
labor
relations
board
to
a
recognize.
F
The
closure
of
the
ithaca
college
avenue
starbucks
as
an
illegal
anti-union
tactic,
meant
to
retaliate
against
and
unlawfully
fire
starbucks
employees
for
exercising
their
right
to
form
a
union
b
act
promptly
to
cite
ithaca
college
avenue
starbucks
for
his
bling
violation
of
workers.
Rights
to
organize
and
c
include
the
ithaca
college
avenue
starbucks
in
the
nationwide,
cease
and
desist
order
against
starbucks,
so
that
unlawful,
unlawfully
discharged
workers
can
return
to
work.
F
If
possible,
I'd
like
to
provide
a
couple
of
proceeding
words
before
discussion,
I
first
want
to
thank
older
person
brock
for
her
help
with
coming
up
with
this
revised
version,
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
union
for
their
helping
in
in
crafting
a
lot
of
this
language.
I've
also
spoken
to
members
of
council
as
well
about
some
of
this
language
and
I'd
like
to
provide
some
edits
on
that.
F
I'm
hoping
members
of
council
will
find
more
agreeable,
and
I
can
do
so
now,
citing
where
I'd
like
those
edits
to
be.
F
So
for
the
first
recommended
edit
I'd
like
to
strike
the
word
massive
in
the
third,
whereas
then
dropping
down
to
the
third
to
last,
whereas
whereas
corporation
is
june,
fourth
decision
strike
the
word
clearly
and
then
draw
dropping
down
to
the
resolves
and
the
first
resolved
striking
virulent
and
brutal
and
then
the
final
two
edits
for
the
second
resolved.
F
F
I
made
the
we've
made
these
edits
so
that
this
is
a
document
that
seems
more
proper
and
in
line
with
the
government
document
and
is
is
more
official
in
its
nature,
and
with
that
said,
the
last
sort
of
preface
I
will
do
for
beyond
edits,
but
I
can
do
that
in
a
second.
I
just
wanna
know
if
those
edits
are
agreeable
to
folks.
I
don't
know
if
cynthia
that
would
require
you
to
do
something.
Yes
well,.
F
Exactly
we
are
hoping
to
accomplish
with
this
resolution,
so
two
things
that
we
are
trying
to
do
with
this,
ensure
that
the
law
is
being
followed
number
one
and
number
two
that
that
we
as
older
person,
brock
mentioned
earlier,
that
we
are
lending
a
voice
of
support
for
our
unionized,
neighbors
and
and
constituents
here
in
ithaca.
F
F
What
it
is
encouraging
happen
is
that
a
body
that
does
have
power
over
these
situations
intervene
and
that
they
recognize
what
many
of
us
are
understanding
to
be
a
clear
example
of
union
busting
and
anti-union
tactics,
and
then,
lastly,
that
we
support
our
unionized
workers,
who
are
here
who
have
fought
for
their
collectively
bargain
rights,
as
is
not
only
just
values
of
the
city,
but
our
protections
that
are
supposed
to
be
granted
to
them
by
law
and
right
now.
F
Those
are
being
violated
right
now
in
our
city,
and
failure
to
act
in
my
estimate
will
be
providing
a
blank
check
to
starbucks.
To
not
only
do
this
in
the
other
cities
as
many
members
of
the
union
throughout
the
other
stores
throughout
the
city,
as
many
other
members
of
the
union
mentioned
in
their
public
comments
today,
but
throughout
the
country,
because,
as
many
have
mentioned,
this
has
gotten
national
attention
what's
happening
here
in
ithaca
and
by
failing
to
act
we
will
be
signaling
that
the
city
is
not
ready
to
intervene
and
protect.
F
Our
workers
and
corporations
will
have
free
reign
to
bully
their
workers
out
of
unionized,
and
so
that's
good.
B
Thanks
mayor,
I
just
want
to
thank
colleagues
for
framing
this
conversation
around
our
ability
to
appeal
to
the
appropriate
federal
body.
You
know
I,
as
I
mentioned
in
committee,
I
have
no
love
for
for
starbucks.
B
I
think
that
the
it's
very
unfortunate
that
this
company
has
targeted
residents
of
our
community
as
as
as
an
effort
to
engage
in
some
chilling
behavior
as
part
of
a
national
strategy,
and
I
think
you
know
I
I
am
supportive
of
this,
given
that
you
know
this,
is
you
know
two
dozen
people
jorge
quit
me
on
the
numbers
but
who
have
who
are
at
risk
of
you
know
losing
their
jobs
as
a
result
of
this,
and
I
you
know,
I
I
think
asking
the
feds
to
intervene
is
the
right
is
the
right
approach.
B
So
thank
you,
jorge
and
cynthia
for
for
working
on
this.
U
U
And
if
that's
not
something
that's
protected
by
the
union,
then
I
don't
see
how
there's
a
good
a
resolution
to
this,
except
for
everybody
that
works
at
starbucks
to
go,
find
a
better
job
which
doesn't
sound
like
it'd,
be
too
hard
to
do,
and
I
would
just
point
out
and
obviously
not
everybody's
interested
in
a
career
in
the
trades.
But
all
the
union
trade
trades
in
this
town
are
seeking
apprentices
and
they're,
particularly
seeking
women
and
people
of
color.
U
And
so
all
you
starbucks
workers
out
there
you're
working
for
chumps,
and
you
might
start
thinking
about
a
different
job.
H
Okay,
I'm
in
support
of
this
resolution
of
of
supporting
our
constituents
in
our
community
right
I,
after
listening
to
miss
brock.
I
understand
that
you
I
mean
we
have
no
legal
rights
of
making
the
store
stay
open
and
that
kind
of
stuff.
But
if
we
put
out
something
that
we
support,
you
know
the
our
constituents.
I
think
that
would
bring
a
lot
of
weight.
H
A
You
thank
you
and
before
returning
to
jorge,
I
did
want
to
add
my
own
comments.
I
shared
those
comments
with
jorge
and
with
cynthia
recently
I.
A
A
We
have
a
number
of
very
good
coffee
places
in
our
our
city
and
I
would
encourage
people
to
to
shop
and
spend
your
your
dollars
on
those
workers
who
are
at
any
one
of
a
half
a
dozen
other
coffee
shops.
I
believe
that
a
resolution
like
this
even
with-
and
I
do
appreciate
the
edits-
the
amendments
that
you
just
offered
moments
ago
jorge.
A
However,
I
agree
with
a
number
of
actually
my
county
legislator,
colleagues,
who
voted
against
a
similar
resolution
in
seeing
it
as
overreach.
I
too
see
such
a
resolution
as
overreach.
That
is
not
to
say
I
don't
support
union
or
don't
support
workers
or
don't
support
individuals
drafting
a
letter,
for
example,
and
sending
a
letter
to
to
the
nlrb
with
urging
them
to
take
action.
But
I
do
not
believe
this
is
a
legislative
responsibility,
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
this.
AA
F
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
just
reiterate
that
let
us
not
get
lost
in
the
divide
here
that
this
is
between
corporations
versus
local.
It's
not.
This
is
about
again
ensuring
that
the
law
is
followed
and
right
now,
based
off
of
what
we're
seeing
here,
that's
become
very
clear.
With
a
national
scope,
it
seems
the
law
is
being
broken
by
starbucks
and
therefore
the
national
body
that
is
supposed
to
intervene
to
do
so
and
rectify
that
and
number
two.
F
Our
constituents,
not
individuals
who
work
at
local
businesses,
but
unionized
members
who
happen
to
work
at
a
corporation,
are
under
attack
and
being
bullied
by
their
corporation
and
failing
to
act.
Right
now,
as
I
said,
is
right
is
giving
a
blank
check
to
corporations.
F
Fine,
it's
okay
to
do
when
that
shouldn't
be
something
in
our
in
our
values
and
right
now,
I
I
would
agree
with
folks
that
maybe
the
best
recourse
is
to
move
from
is
to
move
out
from
starbucks
and
not
work
for
them,
but
right
now
this
is
what
the
members
of
the
union
have
sought
to
do,
and
we
can't
have
that
be
the
option
and
a
recourse
for
individuals
who
choose
to
engage
in
collectively
bargaining,
because
if
this
is
taken
to
that
extreme
and
applied
to
every
single
case,
you'd
have
no
unions.
F
You
would
just
simply
tell
someone
to
go
work
somewhere
else
where
your
conditions
are
better.
The
whole
point
of
collectively
bargaining
is
to
ensure
that
where
you
work
is
where
you
can
achieve
collectively,
bargain
benefits-
and
I
agree
with
you,
george,
but
there
are
some
concerns
there
like
if
members
of
different
stores
are
not
being
able
to
to
get
their
hours.
I
think
that's
something
that
should
be
looked
at,
but
that's
something
that
I
believe
the
unionists
are
working
and
bargaining
with
the
corporation
of
starbucks.
F
Currently,
right
now,
as
is
the
right
to
do,
and
I
feel
like
our
as
a
city
that
is
a
union
town
with
values
of
protecting
not
only
upholding
the
law
but
protecting
the
right
to
collectively
bargain.
This
is
something
that
we
should
get
behind.
It's
very
simple:
it
just
comes
down
to
two
things:
ensuring
that
the
law
is
followed
and
that
the
nlrb
intervene
where
we
believe
this
to
not
be
the
case
and
supporting
our
neighbors,
who
we
sit
next
to
who
we
buy
coffee
from
and
who
we
pay.
F
Even
if
we
don't
buy
a
copy
from
we
pass
in
the
street
every
day,
they
need
our
support
right
now,
they're,
not
asking
for
a
letter
they're,
not
asking
that
you
take
your
dollars
elsewhere.
They've
come
to
public
comment
and
requested
that
we
stand
and
take
and
take
an
action
here
and
that's
what
I
think
we
ought
to
do.
If
we
support
unions.
A
Oh,
thank
you
I
I
just
have
to
respond.
It
is
not
the
only
way
of
supporting
unions.
I
just
take
issue
with
I.
W
A
Of
supporting
unions,
or
not
supporting
unions
and
ensuring
that
law
is
being
followed.
Our
legislative
body
is
not
that
watchdog
in
ensuring
that
laws,
that
is
the
role
of
the
nlrb,
so
drafting
a
letter
and
encouraging
the
nlrb
is
one
possible
action.
V
V
V
The
body
with
jurisdiction
to
enforce
the
law
if
we
had
a
an
industrial
corporation
in
ithaca
which
was
contaminating
the
water
and
we
were
to
rely
on
the
dec
to
come
in
and
take
remedial
action.
I
would
fully
expect
that
we
would
demand
the
dec
to
uphold
the
law
and
protect
the
interests
of
our
constituents,
even
though
it
is
outside
of
the
jurisdiction
of
the
city
of
ithaca.
V
To
do
so,
you
know
we
don't
have
power
in
terms
of
stopping
contamination
of
water,
but
the
dec
does,
and
I
think
it
would
be
consistent
for
us
to
to
appeal
on
behalf
of
our
constituents,
our
residents,
our
employees,
our
visitors,
to
protect
their
safety,
protect
their
rights
whatever
they
choose
to
do.
V
If
they
choose
to
work
at
starbucks,
they
do
have
a
right
to
collectively
bargain
and
to
be
free
from
harassment,
retaliation
and
intimidation,
and
it
is
incumbent
on
the
nlrb
to
to
enforce
those
rights,
protect
those
rights
and
for
us
to
bring
our
support
our
leverage
and
and
make
it
clear
to
all
of
our
community
that
we
do
not
turn
a
blind
eye
to
this
type
of
activity
is
a
strong
message
and
a
message
of
strength
and
where
we
stand.
AE
F
F
Calls
on,
I
believe
in
the
in
the
in
the
first
and
the
second
resolved.
That's
the
calls
on,
I
believe
in
in
section
d:
that's
that's
directs,
but
if
something
is
recorded
differently,
I'm
I'm
fine
to
address
that
and
calls
on
works.
Fine
as
well.
F
I
think
yeah
I
mean
I'm
open
to
like
language.
That's
either
directs
that
starbucks
rescinds
college
foreclosure
calls
on
urges.
It
doesn't
need
to
be
demand.
I
I
think
any
of
those
could
work
and
if
something
folks
find
one
of
those
words
in
particular
stand
out,
I
I'm
I'm
open
to
to
that
discussion.
AE
I
guess
the
the
reason
I
asked
and
in
the
parlor
to
get
back
when,
as
I
laura
was
saying
before
this
is
not
a
dichotomy
of
supporting
or
not
supporting
indian
workers.
There
are
lots
of
ways
to
do
so,
and
I
guess
the
thing
that
I'm
getting
hung
up
on
here
is
that
which
is
different
from
what
the
county
was
presented,
and
I
watched
what
they
talked
about
and
bill
that
they
were
looking
at.
But
the
part
that
is
is
not
adding
up
to
me
is
we,
as
the
city
can
most
certainly
support
the
workers.
AE
V
Yes,
so
in
this
case,
as
you
could
see
in
the
second
to
last,
whereas
a
similar
activity
was
occurring
in
buffalo,
where
they
retaliated
against
union
efforts
by
closing
stores
and
firing,
employees
and
the
nlrb
in
buffalo
issued
a
cease
and
desist
order
directing
starbucks
to
rescind
their
action
and
their
unlawful,
retaliation
against
and
discharging
of
workers.
V
AE
All
right,
thank
you
that
clarifies
that
I
think
I
mean
with
that.
I
think
I
can
support
this
resolution
and
support
the
neutral
workers
for
trying
to
unionize
here,
not
too
much
in
georgia's
sense
of
I
know.
You
know
my
parents,
both
working
trades
are
both
team
members
and
I
worked
in
high
school,
but
for
those
college
students
and
those
who
live,
who
might
be
working
at
college
ave.
AE
There
are
other
choices
if
you
would
like
a
better
job
as
well,
and
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
connect
you
with
the
college
now
small
business
alliance
with
ctv
gimme,
copperhorse
coffee,
all
within
less
than
half
a
mile
of
that
store.
So
there
are
ways
to
support
small
businesses
and
support
unionizing
workers
at
the
same
time,
and
I
think
we
can
do
both.
AF
Yeah
thanks
laura
and
thanks
everyone.
You
know
not
having
part
of
the
ca
discussion
on
catching
up
on
some
of
this.
I
do
appreciate
the
modification
of
the
language
jorge
because
I
think
that's
certainly
more
appropriate.
If
we're
going
to
go
down
the
route
of
doing
a
resolution,
that's
coming
from
council,
I
I
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
the
question
about
whether
a
resolution
is
the
right
tool
for
this.
AF
AF
So
I
I'm
curious
to
hear
others
opinions
about
that
and
if
we
are
going
to
go
the
res
resolution
route,
I
have
a
couple
of
modifications.
I'm
going
to
suggest
they're
minor,
I
think,
and
one
of
them
in
particular,
is
in
the
second
resolve.
AF
AF
I
think
it
would
be
clearer
to
everyone
if
we're
asking
them
to
do
something
in
a
resolve
that
it
might
have
been
identified
in
a
whereas
and
then
the
other
thing
is
also
minor,
but
maybe,
with
my
day
job
hat
on
on
south
hill.
I
was
a
little
confused
when
I
saw
the
language
of
ithaca
college
avenue,
starbucks
and
earlier
through
the
whereases.
We
refer
to
it
as
402
college
avenue
and
I
think
just
to
protect
my
institution
on
south
hill.
Y
AF
F
Both
such
both
such
amendments,
at
least
to
myself,
would
be
would
be
friendly.
I'm
I'm
open
to
exploring
where
we
can
obtain
language
for
the
for
the
fair
elections
principle
to
provide
some
context.
If
anyone
has
such
such
that
I'm
I'm
open
to
to
obtaining
that,
but,
but
I
agree,
and
and
for
the
sake
of
consistency,
the
second
amendment
is
also
modification
is
friendly
to
me
as
well.
A
V
To
cynthia
for
my
answer,
rob's
question:
yes,
actually
I
think
jorge
and
I
went
back
and
forth
on
text
whether
or
not
we
should
do
a
resolution,
a
letter
or
both,
as
I
thought
about
it,
and
and
given
the
the
public
outcry
and
appealed
directly
to
council,
and
I
thought
well.
We
could
basically
build
a
letter
into
a
resolution
and
have
the
resolution
be
the
letter.
I
don't
think
that,
especially
since
we
are
going
this
way
with
making
an
appeal
to
the
nlrb
directly,
I
think
it's
entirely
within
the
purview
of
council.
V
To
do
so
and
I
felt
like
a
resolution
seemed
adequate,
but
you're
right.
We
have
issued
letters
in
the
past,
most
notably
a
recent
letter
was
sent
actually
directly
to
the
kuga
medical
center.
When
the
emergency
nurses
asked
to
unionize
there
that
did
not
go
to
the
nlrb,
it
went
directly
to
cuba,
medical.
T
T
I
just
think
we
set
a
dangerous
precedent
when
we
try
to
leverage.
You
know
the
real
mechanisms
of
governance
to
to
get
behind
causes
like
this.
T
That
I
think
is
is
problematic,
and
that
is
my
question
actually
for
re
ari,
I'm
curious
if
you
set
the
precedent
that,
when
labor
forces
at
different
stores,
unionize
we're
going
to
get
behind
them
in
a
rob
such
a
robust
way
to
leverage
a
resolution
like
this
on
their
behalf,
what
happens
when
it
it's
a
local
shop,
not
a
starbucks
involved
in
a
national
confrontation.
T
And
we
are
sort
of
duty-bound
because
of
this
precedent
to
to
get
behind
that
cause
in
such
a
robust
way
and
that
store
or
our
company
locally
quickly
fails.
T
Renig's
on
you
know,
rent
to
to
landlords
that
perhaps
rent
the
place
are
reliable,
potentially
for
a
lawsuit,
saying
that
the
city
has
overstepped
its
purview
and
basically
instigated
a
loss
on
the
behalf
of
other
parties.
That's
my
question.
X
That
each
case
in
which
the
city
weighs
in
of
the
circumstance
is
a
political
choice
for
for
council
to
make
case
by
case.
I
don't
think
one
precedent
binds
the
next.
In
that
sense,
it's
all
legislative
discretion
where
that's
concerned.
Secondly,
as
the
mayor
has
pointed
out,
the
city
has
no
legal
authority
to
direct
any
given
business,
whether
a
large
corporation
or
a
local
coffee
shop,
and
how
to
manage
their
label
labor
practices,
and
so
we
can
give
no
direction
to
them.
X
That
would
actually
have
any
bonding
effect
in
any
of
it.
But
thirdly,
clearly
the
city
can
urge
federal
authorities
to
exercise
their
their
jurisdiction
if
the
city
and
its,
if
the
common
council
and
its
legislative
discretion
chooses
to
urge
along
those
lines.
So
your.
X
Is
is
it
possible
for
the
city
to
end
up
liable
as
a
function
of
the
failure
of
some
business
where
the
city
weighed
in
and
urged
an
action
that
somehow
led
to
the
failure
of
the
business?
I
think
my
answer
would
be
that
I
think
there'd
be
a
real
issue
of
causation
there,
because
again
the
city
doesn't
have
any
actual
authority
to
exercise
to
enforce
federal
labor
law.
So
I
would,
I
think
it
would
be
a
relative.
X
It
would
be
a
very
unlikely
scenario
where
the
city
would
carry
any
liability.
I
don't
think
it's
utterly
impossible.
It
would
depend
on
the
circumstances.
AA
A
U
F
I
see
I
see
the
value
in
a
letter
that
she
initially
signed
by
council,
but
again
I
do
feel
that
a
resolution
simply
in
its
nature
is,
is
stronger
and
it
shows
that
the
city
is
taking
this
seriously
and
that
there's
a
level
of
seriousness
applied
here
and
there
has
been
a
lot
of
work-
that's
gone
into
this
resolution
so
far,
and
in
general
I
feel
that
this
is
so.
F
This
is
what
the
union
you
know
is
not
necessarily
just
requesting,
but
it
does
show
that
this
is
how
we
can
lend
our
support,
because
we
have
done
letters
before
and
retaliation
has
continued
with
starbucks
and
that's
not
to
say
that
it
won't
happen
if
we
decide
to
do
a
resolution
as
opposed
to
a
letter,
but
I
think
they're
showing
a
parallel
escalation
in
our
seriousness
and
our
solidarity
with
the
workers
and
our
constituents
here.
F
If
we
go
the
route
of
a
resolution-
and
I
just
believe
it
carries
an
area
of
more
seriousness
and
it
like
has
been
mentioned
in
public
comment-
it
is
not
uncommon.
President.
There
have
been
president
like
this
in
different
cities
throughout
the
country.
In
regards
to
resolutions
condemning
union
busting
by
corporations
such
as
starbucks.
V
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
help
draft
a
letter.
If
my
colleagues
who
are
reluctant
to
vote
in
support
of
a
resolution
would
like
to
support
a
letter,
I'm
happy
to
to
help
make
that
happen.
V
V
I
would
hope
that
we,
as
representatives
of
our
constituents,
would
do
everything
we
can
to
protect
those
rights
and
and
send
a
clear
message
to
our
community
that
we
support
them
so
but
again,
either
way
whether
it's
a
resolution
or
a
letter,
I'm
happy
to
to
move
forward,
as
my
colleagues
feel
best
is
best.
AE
Yeah,
the
only
thing
I'd
add
is,
is
jeff
and
laura.
I
completely
hear
right
like
we're
governing
body
we're
supposed
to
govern.
This
is
not
governing.
This
is
ask
you
know,
but
it
is
the
other
part
of
our
job,
which
I
think
is
supposed
to
be
standing
up
for
the
people
you
represent,
and
that
doesn't
mean
you
have
to
pick,
and
so
I
guess
what
I
would
suggest
and
not
to
make
cynthia
not
to
take
her
up
an
offer
too
fast.
AE
So
I
think
we
as
council,
you
know,
lawyers
are
going
to
vote
on
this,
but
regardless
of
the
vote,
I
think
having
some
sort
of
a
letter
to
allow
not
just
city
folks
but
county
folks
as
well.
To
say
this
is
our
ask
to
the
nmr
to
be
for
us
supporting
these
humanizing
workers,
so
not
to
ask
for
more
work,
but
I'd
encourage
both
and
to
extend
the
letter
to
not
just
the
10
of
us
and
to
as
many
people
who
represent
others
as
possible.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Question
has
been
called
robert.
E
H
A
Well,
the
question
has
been
called
phoebe.
Thank
you.
The
question
has
been
called,
so
I'm
gonna
call
for
the
vote
on
6.1
with
the
edits
that
have
been
shared
and
approved
by
the
mover
and
the
secondary
okay.
A
B
S
U
Go
ahead,
george,
I
really
like
patrick's
recommendation
about
adding
a
letter
and
asking
members
of
the
county
legislature
to
join.
That's
a
good
recommendation,
patrick.
A
V
A
U
A
U
A
Okay,
thank
you
we'll
now
move
on
to
6.2,
which
is
a
resolution
in
support
of
local
waterfront,
revitalization
program
funding,
requests
for
improvements
to
vehicular
and
pedestrian
access
and
circulation
at
the
farmers
market
site,
whereas
the
farmers
market
board
of
directors
has
been
working
with
its
members
and
customers
to
envision
a
vibrant
and
successful
market
that
will
allow
them
to
grow
better,
serve
their
customers
and
provide
opportunity
for
economic
success
for
their
vendor
members
and
whereas,
as
part
of
their
visioning
process,
the
ethical
farmers
market
board
of
directors
received
a
grant
in
2021
from
new
york
state
department
of
state
local
waterfront
revitalization
program
with
the
city
of
ithaca,
acting
as
the
former
grant
recipient
project,
sponsor
at
no
cost
to
the
city
to
renovate
the
parking
lot
with
improvements
which
will
include
accommodating
ada
accessibility,
better
overall
pedestrian
access
and
a
reconfiguration
of
automobile
parking
with
appropriate
surfacing
and
green
amenities
and
whereas,
as
part
of
the
2021
lwrp
grant.
A
And
whereas
it
has
been
determined
that
if
the
waterfront
improvements
were
implemented
at
the
same
time
as
the
parking
lot
and
site
renovations,
it
would
cause
less
site
disruption
and
be
more
cost
effective.
And
whereas
the
farmers
market
will
undertake
pavilion
renovations
at
a
future
date
to
be
determined
and
is
not
seeking
funding
for
pavilion
renovations.
At
this
time.
A
But
since
the
city
of
ithaca
owns
the
land
upon
which
the
pavilion
and
parking
lot
are
located,
the
city
can
act
as
the
applicant
on
behalf
of
the
farmers
market
and
whereas
the
ethical
farmers
market
intends
to
seek
lwrp
funding
for
waterfront
construction
implementation
and
construction
oversight.
Costs.
A
A
A
Committee
meetings
and
taking
it
forward
then
to
the
august
council
meeting
forum.
C
We
would
just
like
to
thank
the
city
for
the
support
that
has
been
given
to
this
project
to
date
and
we
feel
like
this
is
a
project
that
benefits
the
market,
but
it
also
benefits
our
whole
community
and
we
find
that
in
discussing
the
project
with
the
grant
administrators
at
the
state
of
new
york
that
they're
they're
excited
about
this
project,
the
project
has
momentum
and,
as
they
think,
it's
logical
to
ask
for
additional
funding
if
it
makes
the
implementation
less
costly
and
less
disruptive
this
year,
they
have
more
grant
funding
to
award
than
they
have
in
past
years
and
there
are
no
other
city-sponsored
applications,
so
we
won't
be
competing
with
with
other
projects
from
the
city
this
year.
A
A
AA
AG
To
say,
I
agree
with
cynthia
that
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
is
a
wonderful
thing
to
tour
and
I
highly
recommend
that
anybody
do
it
whenever
they
have
the
time.
It's
really
we're
very,
very
fortunate
to
have
it.
A
We'll
now
move
on
to
new
business,
you
see
in
the
packet
7.1
resolved
that
the
following
proposed
nominees
be
appointed
to
the
chief
of
police
search
committee,
as
indicated
in
the
chart
below.
This
is
appointment
of
common
council
members
on
department,
head
search
committee,
and
this
is
the
ipd
chief
of
police
search
committee
and
those
members
of
common
council
are
george
mcgonagall.
First
ward,
phoebe
brown,
second
ward,
rob
gerhardt
third
ward,
and
I
will
move
that.
Is
there
a
second.
A
V
A
Not
at
this
time,
okay,
all
those
in
favor
of
this
resolution.
W
A
A
Thank
you,
it's
ten
zero
and
then,
finally,
something
we
have
spoken
about
actually
throughout
this
this
very
meeting-
and
that
is
my
appointment
of
a
special
committee
of
common
council,
and
that
is
a
special
committee
tasked
with
furthering
the
further
pursuing
the
city,
specific
recommendations
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group,
and
you
see
the
following
members
who
will
be
appointed
to
the
special
committee
include
older
person.
A
AA
Just
like
to
say
that
I'm
very
excited
that
the
prospector
was
taking
on
this,
this
task
of
an
ad
hoc
committee.
I
brought
it
up
a
couple
of
months
ago
and
I'm
very
excited
to
see
attraction,
and
I
think
this
is.
G
I
thought
I
wasn't
going
to
be
able
to
do
it,
but
I'm
glad
to
say
that
we
are
chewing
gum
and
walking
at
the
same
time
with
such
a
prospect,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
see
that
we
are
here
with
the
prospect
of
reimagining
public
safety.
Even
after
we've
accepted
the
recommendations.
But
we're
very
excited
to
see.
A
Any
other
comment,
robert.
B
Just
a
hyper
procedural
question:
what
would
be
the
organization
what
what
is
there?
What
are
the
protocols
around
setting
an
organizational
meeting
and
then
any
recurring
meetings
that
are
necessary
for
this?
I
know
we
can
actually
sort
that
out
at
a
later
time.
I
just
want
to
know
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there
isn't
something
supposed
to
have
on
my
calendar
already.
A
That
will
be
sorted
out
at
a
later
time.
I'm
not
appointing
a
chair
of
the
committee
that
will
be
a
self
self-selected
responsibility,
so
it
will
be
up
to
these
five
common
council
members.
A
Okay,
but
thank
you
good
question
all
right.
Is
there
any
report
of
any
special
committees.
A
This
is
appointment
of
a
special
committee
by
the
mayor,
okay,
all
right,
okay,
and
I
very
much
appreciate
my
colleagues
willing
to
step
forward
on
this
special
committee
and
also
on
the
police
chief
search.
I
know
that
we
all
have
many
many
commitments
on
our
time
and
I
want
to
express
my
deep
appreciation
to
common
council
members
willing
to
step
forward
to
take
on
additional
responsibilities,
much
much
appreciated.
A
H
Yes,
I
met
with
south
side
yesterday
and
they
had
so
much
coming
up
a
bike
tour
to.
I
wish
I
had
the
dayton
times
with
me,
but
they
have
over
400
people
of
color
coming
to
ithaca
for
a
bike:
tour,
a
freedom
bike,
tour
to
harriet,
tubman
house
and
back
so
it's
going
to
start
on
a
thursday
and
go
for
the
weekend.
H
So
that's
going
to
be
really
amazing.
They
got
a
lot
more
going.
A
lot
of
exciting
things
happen.
Q
met
performance
is
going
to
be
july,
30th
saturday
from
11
to
2
on
the
at
the
bernie
milton
pavilion,
which
is
amazing
when
we
know,
as
someone
mentioned
earlier
about
how
awesome
it
was
to
be
around
the
human
children
and
also
they,
I
don't
know
how
to
go
about
it,
but
they
had
talked
about
needing
sort
of
like
a
do-over
for
their
kitchen.
H
So
I'm
not
sure
how
I
propose
that
to
ask
for
funds
for
that
and
I'll
I'll
reach
out
to
find
out
how
that's
done,
but
their
their
participation
in
their
attendees
has
grown
tremendously,
and
so
you
know
doing
meals
in
the
kitchen
that
they've
had
for
ever
has
been
really
inconvenienced
and
not
not
easy
to
work
with
the
counter
space.
The
fridge
and
just
doing
kitchen
things.
H
So
I'll
figure
out
how
to
do
that.
But
I
wanted
to
bring
it
up.
A
U
Thanks
laura,
I
I
just
like
to
add
that
this
is
gx
50th
year
and
there's
going
to
be
a
big
celebration
later
this
summer.
I
don't
have
any
details
yet
but
more
detail
later.
Z
I
just
looked
up
the
dates
at
the
harriet
tubman
freedom.
Ride
is
thursday
july
21st,
sunday
july
24th
there's
different
events,
but
the
the
big
ride
is
on
saturday
july
23rd
and
I
intend
to
participate.
So
if
any
of
you
want
to
dust
off
the
book,
let
me
know
I'll
try
with
you.
V
Yeah
I'll
provide
a
couple
brief
updates,
but
I'll
keep
it
really
short.
The
huge
lake
intermunicipal
cuyuga
lake
watershed
into
municipal
organization
is
in
the
process
of
hiring
a
watershed.
Manager
we've
gone
through
an
extensive
outreach
and
hiring
process
and
hope
to
make
a
job
offer
soon.
V
I
say
that,
in
light
of
other
watershed
management
discussions
that
will
be
happening
in
upcoming
pedc
meetings.
So
to
give
you
that
as
a
form
of
context
in
terms
of
our
quarterly
meeting
of
t
cog,
I
did
provide
a
written
liaison
report.
V
V
We
did
receive
a
presentation
on
transportation
from
gary
ferguson.
Some
of
this,
which
you
received
information
on
tonight
and
support
that
program.
V
There
will
be
an
upcoming
meeting
with
regards
to
community
choice
aggregation.
This
subcommittee
of
tcog
will
be
meeting
on
july
20th
at
three
o'clock.
If
you'd,
like
more
information
on
that
we'll
be
dis,
they
will
be
discussing
education
on
electric
vehicles
and
charging
stations,
a
forum
to
discuss
ideas
on
tax
incentives,
updating
solar
laws,
battery
energy
storage
and
so
on.
V
In
our
upcoming
tcog
meeting,
there
will
be
some
information
on
updates
on
county-wide
code
enforcement
collaboration
possibilities.
This
is
something
the
city
might
be
interested
in,
as
I
believe
I
included
in
a
previous
tcog
update.
A
Thank
you,
thank
you,
patrick
did.
You
have
updates.
A
Aria
is
on
vacation.
Yes,
okay,
let's
see
if
we
can
make
some
brief
updates.
Is
there
any
report
of
city
clerk.
X
I
do
have
a
quick
report
and
I
can
keep
it
well
under.
So
thank
you
very
much,
which
is
to
share
particularly
for
the
public's
benefit,
but
but
also
for
council.
If
you
have
any
further
questions
on
it.
X
The
excellent
news
that,
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
we
received
a
decision
from
new
york's
division
third
department
in
what
I
consider
to
be
one
of
the
city's
most
important
litigation
priorities
of
the
last
number
of
years,
which
was
the
city's
litigation
with
201c
town,
which
is
the
developer.
A
vism
toddfox,
slash,
bism,
associated
developer
of
the
apartment
building
at
the
corner
of
bool
street
and
college
ave,
which
had
sued
the
city
effectively
seeking
to
invalidate
the
city's
street
permit
fees.
X
This
was
a
really
fundamental
issue
for
the
city,
because
the
street
permit
fees
were
instituted
about
a
little
over
five
years
ago
for
the
purpose
of
making
sure
that
developers
were
not
running
roughshod
over
the
city's
streets
in
in
the
sense
of
closure.
In
the
sense
of
street
closures,
right
developers
were
obtaining
street
permits
for
a
pittance
to
close
city
streets
for
their
private
construction
use
for
months
on
end,
and
it
was
wreaking
havoc,
especially
in
college
town.
X
So
the
city
instituted
a
system
of
pretty
hefty
street
permits
fees
that
can
for
developers
if
they're
closing.
If
it's
a
major
project
and
it's
closing
travel
lanes,
especially
for
for
you
know,
weeks
or
months,
it
can
be
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
permit
fees.
The
developer
there
did
sue
the
city
seeking
to
invalidate
our
permit
fees,
structure
that
we'd
instituted
and
the
trial
court
ruled
for
the
developer.
X
We
were
very
disappointed
to
find
this
is
back
over
a
year
ago
now,
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
report
that
on
appeal.
In
the
last
couple
weeks,
we
received
the
decision
on
appeal
from
the
abella
division,
which
fully
saw
and
understood
the
city's
perspective,
ruled
for
the
city
four
to
one
and
held
that
accounting
for
the
inconvenience
to
the
public
from
a
street
closure
is
a
valid
cost
that
the
city
can
account
for
when
structuring
what
we
charge
in
our
street.
X
Permit
fees,
which
has
always
struck
me
as
eminently
sensible
and
true,
and
yet
that
is
actually
a
precedent-stunning
decision
to
have
a
court
saying
so
in
this
context.
So
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
report
that
and
I'm
very
pleased
that
we
are
able
to
continue
our
street
permit.
Y
A
Thank
you.
Yes,
we
will
make
sure
that
is
on
the
city
website,
the
the
move.
I
know
that
robert
has
sent
out
an
email
about
ca.
Moving
to
july,
13
from
the
27th
edc
will
meet
on
july,
20
and
best.
We
know
there
is
a
likelihood
of
that
being
an
in-person
meeting,
but
the
extensions
have
come
at
the
last
minute,
so
we
will
be
prepared
for
both.
