From YouTube: August 4, 2021 Common Council Meeting
Description
Alderperson Ducson Nguyen gives an update on the City's Working Group for Plan 1 of the Reimagining Public Safety Initiative 1 01:21:16
A
A
A
A
A
A
Why
don't
we
get
started,
we'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
welcome
to
the
august
meeting
of
common
council
quite
a
few
changes
this
month.
So
I
want
to
appreciate
everybody
from
the
public
and
our
staff,
who
have
been
quite
flexible
and
accommodating
for
those
of
you
who
are
watching
online
you'll
notice
that
everybody
in
the
meeting
is
wearing
masks.
That
is
due
to
the
cdc's
recommendations
based
on
the
rate
of
transmission,
especially
driven
by
the
delta
variant
of
covet
19.,
because
of
that
we've
also
adjusted
our
meeting
protocols.
A
A
What
that
will
mean
is
a
bit
of
a
change
from
the
agenda
that
you
see
online
first
thing:
I'd
like
to
propose
if
it's,
okay
with
everybody,
is
actually
taking
agenda,
item
5.7
and
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee
agenda
and
moving
that
right
after
the
consent
agenda,
we've
got
some
folks
coming
from
from
a
fair
distance
who
need
to
drive
back
after
their
presentation
after
council's
decision.
So
I'll
ask
the
staff
as
chair
of
planning
committee,
and
everybody
else,
is
that,
okay,
if
we
move
that
to
it's
north
side,
apartments,
yeah?
A
A
The
new
4.1
thank
you
and
then
we
do
have
a
couple
of
special
resolutions
to
be
read
by
council
members,
but
as
we
are
waiting
for
a
couple
members
of
the
public
to
join
us,
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
we
go
directly
to
reports
of
municipal
officials,
which
we,
oh
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry.
I
switched
that
bike
share
first
and
then
reports
of
municipal
officials,
so
the
special
presentation
before
council
the
bike
share,
update
and
potential
service.
A
That
makes
the
meeting
a
bit
clunky
if
we
were
to
adjourn
downstairs
and
then
come
back
upstairs
and
it
might
confuse
members
of
the
public
who
turn
into
the
meeting
and
find
that
nothing's
happening.
They
might
think
the
meeting's
over.
So
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
we
hold
those
executive
sessions
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
That's
okay.
A
D
Okay,
so
good
evening,
I'm
not
sure
if
you've
been
able
to
discern
the
town's
rhythm,
but
our
goal
is
to
be
before
city
council
at
least
four
times
a
year
with
bill
goodman,
and
I
alternating
our
time
with
you.
I'm
sure
you
are
I'll
figure
that
out
already
just
a
few
updates
and
I'm
sure
you
will
appreciate
that
there
are
brief
mentions
and
that
I'm
not
going
into
detail
on
any
of
them.
So
I'm
starting
with
community
choice
aggregation.
D
So
louise
has
become
part
of
the
core
team
helping
to
make
decisions
about
moving
forward
in
a
way
that
ensures
green
energy
and
community
and
economic
development
benefits
for
our
residents.
We
are
working
with
sustainable
topkins
who,
on
behalf
of
several
county
municipalities,
secured
a
grant
from
the
park
foundation.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
D
We
didn't
get
as
much
as
we
had
asked
for
so
we're
we're
retooling
a
little
bit,
but
it's
great
to
have
louise
as
part
of
our
team,
and
we
are
asking
municipalities
to
pass
legislation
that
allows
them
to
even
consider
joining
cca.
So
I
think
I
sent
that
to
seth
so
at
some
point
that
might
come
before
city
council
sustainability
related.
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
both
the
town
and
the
city
were
delighted
with
the
passing
of
the
energy
code
supplement.
D
We
are
imagining
two
overlay
districts
and
have
given
a
lot
of
thought
to
allowable
uses
of
what
the
kinds
of
businesses
and
activity
that
we
want
to
see
in
that
quarter.
So
we're
in
the
process
of
converting
that
language
into
our
zoning
and
again
this
will
be
brought
to
the
town
board
centennial
in
the
fall
historic
preservation
related
we're
excited
to
be
working
with
brian
mccracken
and
the
ithaca
landmarks
preservation
commission
to
develop
an
ordinance
and
a
committee
structure
that
would
cover
both
the
city
and
the
town.
D
D
D
Our
codes
and
ordinances
committee
is
getting
back
to
that
topic.
Now
that
the
energy
code
supplement
has
passed,
we
expect
two
more
months
of
this
being
discussed
at
the
committee
level
before
a
new
draft
of
our
telecommunications
law
goes
to
the
full
board
and,
as
I
think
you
know,
we
passed
our
new
neighborhood
code,
it
was
also
being
called
the
traditional
neighborhood.
D
D
This
would
be
the
area
around
the
intersection
of
96b
and
west
king
road,
so
we're
planning
for
a
charette
in
early
october
and
certainly
I'm
sure
the
city
is
going
to
be
interested
in
seeing
what
we
might
want
to
do
there.
So
we'll
make
sure
you
know
about
that
charrette
when
it
happens
in
october.
D
E
A
A
G
I
D
H
D
A
J
C
J
J
K
And
I
think
it
probably
is
best
if
we
just
hold
questions
to
the
end.
It's
like
five
to
seven
minutes
I'll,
try
to
make
it
short
and
simple
and
sweet.
You
also
all
got
a
memo
within
your
agenda
packet.
I
have
paper
copies
if
you
prefer
to
read
it
on
paper,
which
covers
a
lot
of
the
same
information
as
the
presentation.
K
It's
just
this
one
has
pictures
which
hopefully
will
grab
people's
attentions
and
keep
this
mood
keep
the
mood
on
this
anyway.
So
I
just
we're
here
to
kind
of
just
give
you
an
update
on
what
we've
learned
through
about
bike
share
in
ithaca,
through
the
experience
that
we
had
with
lime
and
kind
of
like
the
next
steps
that
we
have
done,
the
research
to
see
how
to
bring
back
a
service
to
ithaca
we're
kind
of
at
a
crossroads.
K
I
would
say-
and
it
would
be
great
to
hear
what
you
guys
have
to
think
about
how
to
move
forward
on
bringing
this
vital
transportation
service
to
our
community
back
next
slide.
Just
a
quick
slide
as
to
why
bike
share
is
important.
Besides
the
obvious
benefits
of
what
that
bicycling
brings
from
health
to
environmental
benefits
to
social
benefits,
what
you
see
on
the
left
is
kind
of
the
connectivity
that
lime
and
bike
share
provided
to
ithaca.
K
That's
a
map
of
all
the
stop
all
the
places
that
people
ended
their
trips
with
in
2019,
using
lime
and
literally,
you
can
see
every
single
street
in
the
flats
in
east
hill
and
even
some
in
west
end,
south
hill
covered.
You
can
kind
of
see
the
street
grid.
Even
so
literally
bikes
went
to
every
single
street
people
went
to
every
single
street
and
it's
a
guy
using
lime
bikes
next.
K
Another
important
thing
is
that
it's
kind
of
written
to
a
lot
of
our
community
goals
and
plans
in
plannethika.
It's
goal:
15
of
the
transportation
chapter.
It's
an
ied's
economic
recovery
strategy,
downtown
like
a
strategic
plan
and
even
in
our
conversations
with
south
side
and
village
at
teca,
where
they're
starting
to
develop
some
bicycling
programming.
E
M
L
A
K
I
K
K
K
What
we
find
most
important
is
really
what
bikeshare
brought
in
terms
of
community
benefits.
It
really
inspired.
People
to
bike
not
only
on
their
own,
not
only
on
bikeshare,
but
also
on
their
own
bikes.
Here
are
pictures
of
outreach
events
that
we
did
with
the
gx
seniors
that
stone
corey
apartments,
which
is
an
inhs
housing
complex
and
with
the
tompkins
county
mental
health.
It
really
touched
every
single
slice
of
our
community,
especially
slices
our
community,
that
aren't
well
served
by
our
current
transportation
system.
K
So
what
happened?
It
might
be
the
question
that
you
have
right:
here's
a
picture
of
lime
bike
in
summer
2017
launching
in
one
of
their
first
markets,
south
bend
indiana
with
then
mayor
and
pete
butterjudge
and
then
in
summer
2019,
when
council
was
debating
whether
they
should
launch
whether
they
should
partner
with
lime
on
an
e-scooter
pilot
they
launched
like
their
hundredth
or
something
e-scooter
system
in
europe
alone.
So
they
basically
grew
to
a
size
that,
based
on
like
the
response
to
industry
and
shareholder
pressure,
they
grew
to
a
size.
K
I'm
sure
that
meteoric
rise
was
very
also,
I
like
the
picture
on
the
left,
because,
basically
I
don't
think
premier
people
judge
knew
that
by
summer
2019
he
himself
would
be
running
for
like
presidency,
so
it's
kind
of
like
the
same
bittersweet
feeling
I
would
say,
of
seeing
someone
going
growing
so
fast
to
the
point
that
they
kind
of
you're
limited
by
just
so
anyway.
Next,
oh
there
we
go
here's
a
quick
comparison
of
what
the
two
different
entities
grew
to
become
in
two
years
by
themselves.
K
The
next
one,
sorry,
that's
just
me
anyway.
Basically
what
happened
in
2020,
matt
lime
suspended
their
service
worldwide
due
to
cobia
19,
and
then
they
basically
restarted
in
may
only
in
major
markets,
mainly
with
e-scooters.
So
what
did
we
do?
Then?
In
september
and
december,
we
started
researching
with
itc
tcc
itctc
on
the
state
of
the
micro
mobility
industry,
so
that's
e-bikes,
e-scooters,
etc,
and
then
we
facilitated
a
request
for
information
to
see
who's
interested
in
working
in
the
interest
in
the
ithaca
market.
K
K
Basically,
we
have
the
two
options
available
to
us
to
restart
such
a
system.
One
is
the
private
operator
model
very
much
the
same
way
that
it
worked
with
lime,
bird
or
spin.
Any
other
vc
backed
startup
model.
Vc
is
venture
capital
in
this
case,
where
the
quick
launch,
the
benefit
is
that
you
get
a
quick
launch
because
you
had.
K
That
being
said,
it
is
generally,
you
don't
have
to
put
any
money
down
as
a
city
and
the
other
one
is
the
community
owned
and
operated
model
which
you
find
it's
kind
of
the
more
traditional
enduring
bike
share
model
that
we
have
where
a
not-for-profit
or
the
government
buys
the
equipment,
and
then
they
let
a
non-profit
operate
the
system
this
one.
Obviously
the
biggest
caveat
is
that
you
need
sustainable
funding.
K
E
K
K
Self-Sustaining,
literally,
every
single
person
has
tried.
Both
the
private
companies
and
the
non-profit
are
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
self-sustain
and
the
ones
that
are
non-profit
are
generally
self-sustaining
because
they
kind
of
have
to,
whereas
the
ones
that
are
private,
they're
kind
of
riding
on
a
lot
of
venture
capital,
and
hopefully
they
can
tweak
tweak
their
way
to
profitability
or
go
public.
K
K
J
F
E
J
Answering
your
own
question:
I
I
think
that
that's
maybe
what
we
call
first
generation
bike
share
and
it
did
work
that
was
kind
of
the
first
generation,
maybe
20
25
years
ago,
and
now
that
we
have
access
to
technology
and
connectivity
and
basically
more
bulletproof
bikes.
You
have
the
opportunity
to
have
the
bikes
last
long
enough.
You
can
find
them.
You
can
access
them
easily.
J
K
Yeah,
it's
kind
of
better
to
have
just
one
kind
of
bike
that
it
will
last
you
for
five
ten
years.
Even
that
way,
your
investment
in
capital,
which
isn't
insignificant,
will
last
you
a
lot
longer,
and
people
have
an
expectation
that
the
bike
will
work
a
certain
way,
if
literally
every
time
that
you
try
to
ride
a
bike
share,
it's
like
a
different
bike.
F
O
So
I
appreciate
the
presentation
just
to
answer
one
of
your
questions.
I
I'm
very
interested
in
seeing
a
bike
share
program
in
ithaca.
I
think
I
lean
more
towards
the
community
owned
and
operated
non-profit
model,
and
the
reason
is
that
I
know
that,
as
you
pointed
out,
like
there's
a
lot
of
benefits
to
lime
and
there's
a
lot
of
rides.
Obviously,
but
I
found
I
thought
that
the
system
itself
was
seemed
to
get
kind
of
just
in
terms
of
regulatory
kind,
of
ability
by
the
city
seemed
kind
of
difficult
to
regulate.
O
So
you
know
I
realized
that
the
advantage
there
obviously
is.
We
don't
have
to
pay
for
it,
but
I
I
would
prefer
to
have
a
program
over
which
we
had
some
control
and
we
had
some
sustainability
and
knew
that
it
was
going
to
be
around
for
a
while
and
that
we
had
the
ability
to
kind
of
scope
it
the
way
that
the
community
wanted-
and
I
realized
the
cost
is
really
the
issue.
O
And
I
wonder
if
you
know
if-
and
I
do
have
a
question
at
the
end
of
this-
but
I
wonder
if
you
know
tcat,
the
tcat
model
could
maybe
be
a
model
that
we
could
use
for.
Something
like
this,
where
you
have
it's
jointly
funded
between
the
county
and
the
city
and
cornell,
and
obviously
that
helps
to
bring
down
the
cost
for
any
one
entity.
So
you.
O
Precedent
for
that
and
then
the
question
I
have
is
you
know,
I
think
we
know
the
the
public
sources
of
funding
to
be
used
for,
but
something
like
this,
but
you
said
that
there
could
potentially
be
private
sources
of
funding.
So
what
would
what?
What
an
example
of
private
funding
for
a
bike
share
program
b,
sure.
J
J
J
A
E
E
K
J
Q
Thank
you
and
thank
you
hector
for
that
presentation,
so
I
think
I
agree
with
seth.
I
think,
if
we
think
about
the
community-based
model,
I
would
want
to
see
the
costs
I
mean
you
know.
Our
tax
base
is
very
limited,
so
I
think
we
have
to
recognize
that
it's
not
city
residents
that
are
just
using
these
bikes.
It's
people.
Q
For
tourism
and
stuff
like
that-
and
I
noticed
in
your
plot
that
there's
a
good
significant
amount
of
usage
by
students,
so
I
mean
I
think
cornell
needs
to
be
part
of
the
discussion,
so
I
really
want
to
emphasize
that,
in
terms
of
you
know:
public
transportation.
You
mentioned
that
I
guess
some
cities
have
already
gone
with
a
bike
share
program,
so
it
would
be
helpful,
I
think,
to
see
some
of
the
the
finances
of
those
you
mentioned
buffalo
and
a
few
other
cities.
So.
E
Q
Some
stage
it
would
be
good
to
see
what
investment
is
needed
by
cities
and
then
my
last
point
not
really
a
question,
but
I
hope
you
would
certainly
look
more
closely
at
the
potential
for
conflict.
We
saw
that
I
know
it's
not
restricted
to
limebikes
but
as
they
increased
in
usage
in
the
city,
the
conflict
or
potential
conflict
between
pedestrians
and
bikes.
Q
Q
P
C
E
I
P
J
P
That
is
the
case,
I
think
obviously
there's
a
a
much
broader
service
area,
definitely
to
the
hills
and
inclusion
with
cornell
as
a
partnership
would
be
essential.
I
think
a
big
part
of
that
conversation,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
and
then,
as
as
graham
mentioned,
that
conflict
between
pedestrians
and
e-bikes
is,
can
be
a
a
large
concern
as
the
working
group
that
was
working
on
that
discovered.
So
thank
you
for
that
clarification,
no
problem.
N
E
E
N
E
E
H
N
J
J
A
Yeah
yeah,
I'm
not
hearing
a
lot
of
support
for
the
the
private
option.
We'll
say
you
know
that
might
change
if
we
actually
see
a
private
option,
what
they're
offering
what
the
benefits
could
be
and
if
we
were
able
to
engage
a
conversation,
especially
along
the
parameters
that
staff
was
mentioning
about
regulation
and
how
we
can
be
involved
there
and
but
yes,
jennifer.
J
E
A
O
O
O
J
E
I
J
A
Yeah
I
mean,
I
think
again,
I
think
the
the
sentiment
of
counsel
is
pretty
clear
about
the
the
community-based
model,
but
again,
if,
if
there's
a
more
detailed
presentation,
maybe
from
one
of
the
private
operators
that
you'd
like
to
bring
forward,
possibly
even
starting
at
the
board
of
public
works
meeting,
let's,
let's
have
that
discussion
as
you
move
forward.
Otherwise,
I
I'm
not
seeing
a
lot
of
folks
jumping
at
with
the
private
option.
O
E
A
A
L
L
L
Okay,
I'm
trembling
now,
because
ever
since
this
hit
hit
the
hit
the
stands,
which
I
was
told
the
reporter
was
going
to
contact
me.
Nobody
cares
about
my
concerns.
That's
why
I'm
not
having
been
contacted.
Okay,
ithaca
voice
doesn't
care
other
media,
don't
care
local
radio
station
local
radio
personalities,
don't
care,
because
I
all
ask
them.
Please
help
me
get
my
concerns
out.
L
You
know
not
even
raise
the
concerns
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
a
year
and
a
half
before
coven
and
then
there's
council
people
who,
like,
oh,
I
don't
return,
calls
to
you
cynthia
brock,
deborah
some
of
you
will
return
the
others.
We
return
the
call.
But
what
is
that
is
that
democracy
is
that
representative.
L
Even
if
you
disagree
seth
and
duxton
with
my
concerns,
you
are
my
representative,
you
can
say
this
is
what
my
rep.
My
constituent
said.
These
are
the
concerns.
You
don't
have
to
agree
with
them,
but
you
could
raise
them
and
you
had
every
opportunity
to
do
that
tonight
and
you
show
me
time
and
time
again,
just
like
the
media
does
no.
No,
where
look
at
this
photo.
The
bike
is
next
to
the
bike:
rack
the
lime
bike.
This
has
been
a
contentious
issue
from
day
one.
I
need
a
bike
rack.
L
L
Where
is
your
responsibility
not
to
mention
this
article
says
they're
lightweight,
there's
no
way,
they're
lightweight
and,
graham
you
you
second,
my
concern.
You
don't
have
to
second
it
now,
but
these
bikes
are
extremely
heavy.
You
can't
you
have
to
lift
them.
You
can't
move
them,
they
lock.
The
companies
are
deceptive.
L
A
L
A
A
H
Over
this
last
month,
remember,
don't
you
remember
you
want
me
to
do
you
remember
who
I
am.
I
was
here
last
month.
Remember
I
talked
to
you
about
getting
my
ass
beat
by
officer
day
and
a
half
a
couple
years
ago
and
then,
like
that
same
summer,
after
nobody
here
cared
about
my
ass
beating
by
one
of
your
police
officers,
that
you
said
it
wasn't
a
big
deal.
H
Well,
remember
that
same
summer
you
were
like
oh
blm,
it's
awesome
and
you
even
like
set
it
here,
all
of
you
and
it
was
like
what
you
actually
want
people
to
lose
their
mind
and
go
crazy
for
you
to
listen
to
them.
You
don't
want
them
just
to
come
in
here
and
talk
to
you
want
them
screaming
at
you
in
the
street.
H
Is
that
what
you
would
like,
or
is
it
because
they're
black
and
you
don't
care
about
arabs
getting
their
asses,
beat
in
this
town
by
officer,
dana
half
just
wondering
anyway,
back
to
the
issue
at
hand
here,
which
is
mayor,
ezevante
svante,
I
don't
know
how
to
say
your
name
either.
Doesn't
it
hurt
it
stings
it
stings
all
the
time
when
nobody
says
your
name
right
right,
savante
anyway,
if
you're
planning
on
invicting
people
or
allowing
the
sheriff's
deputies
to
do
that.
H
That
also
includes
cats
and
dogs
and
birds
and
lizards,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
non-human
residents
that
have
their
housing
in
the
insecure
status
right
now,
but
more
specifically
because
of
covet
19,
but
always
always.
Is
it
hard
to
get
rent?
If
you
have
a
big
dog
in
ithaca,
that's
why
I
have
to
go
hang
out
in
spencer
and
meet
those
nice
people
who
support
trump
and
then
you're
like
what
are
they
talking
about
in
ithaca
these
people?
Let
me
rent
a
house,
because
I
have
a
german
shepherd.
I
H
H
L
H
So
back
to
the
animals
and
remember
when
you
got
elected
how
I
I
recommended
the
whole
deer
management
thing,
because
I
graduated
from
tufts
veterinary
school
animals
in
public
policy.
So
I
am
credible
on
the
whole
animal
thing.
I
know
you.
I
know
that's
not
interesting
to
you,
but
if
you
have
a
big
big
dog
in
this
town,
it's
hard
to
get
wrecked
and
if
you're
planning
on
evicting
a
bunch
of
people
like
where
there's
not
enough
space
in
spencer
for
all
these
people
with
pets.
A
S
All
right,
hello
guys,
so
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
good
cause,
eviction
bill,
that
we've
been
drafting
and
sending
by
some
of
the
people
in
this
room.
As
some
of
you
may
have
seen,
we
had
a
sort
of
commute
like
tenant
community
assembly
thing
outside
here
a
few
days
ago.
It
was
like
40
50
people,
and
we
talked
about
the
formation
of
the
bill
and
like
what
people's
concerns
and
stuff
were.
I
know
a
few
of
you
had
expressed
different
questions
and
concerns
laura.
S
In
particular,
you
had
talked
about
concerns
about
landlords,
ramping
up
surveillance,
and
that
came
up
at
the
at
the
thing
and
we
would
be
definitely
interested
in
working
on
ways
to
make
sure
that
that
doesn't
happen.
But
for
those
who
have
seen
the
bill,
I
know
that
there
were
some
questions
about
in
situations
of
redevelopment,
as
well
as
the
sort
of
timeline
for
non-renewals
of
leases.
S
But
what
I'm
really
here
to
say
is
that
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
have
like
people
who
are
on
this
council
interested
in
sort
of
moving
this
on
to
the
pedc
agenda,
because
one
of
the
sort
of
points
of
conflict
thus
far
is
that
people
are
nervous
about
negotiating
the
terms
of
the
bill
before
it's
on
the
agenda
and
like
circulating
and
stuff
albany.
As
you
guys
know,
recently
passed
a
version
of
this
bill.
Rochester's
working
on
one
new
pulse
is
working
on.
S
One
utica
is
working
on
one
and
there's
a
couple
other
municipalities
that
are
working
on
one
too,
and
it
would
be
great
for
ithaca
to
keep
up
with
progressive
housing
policy.
On
this
issue,
and
in
each
of
those
municipalities,
the
bills
look
a
little
bit
different,
it's
all
like
based
on
local
tenant
organizations
and
stuff,
and
there
will
be
some
unique
details
until
we
can.
E
S
T
Hello,
can
you
guys
hear
me
wonderful?
Yes,
my
name
is
george
george
president
in
ithaca
work
for
college
town
for
common
council,
but
I
wanted
to
also
talk
about
good
cause
eviction
here,
we're
trying
to
get
past
echoing
a
lot
of
what
genevieve
has
to
say,
it's
the
separatist
thing
I
think
we
need
to
get
behind.
I
think
albanians
leading
the
way
on
this,
and
I
think
we
have
a
bit
of
a
stronger
build
here.
E
T
Will
you
know
it's
not
going
after
land
fluids
or
anything
that
regardless
tripping
with
their
rights
or
making
it's
harder
for
them
to
lease
out
their
homes
for
tenants?
This
is
just
to
sort
of
make
sure
that
the
bad
faith
actors
who
are
on
renting
out
properties
cannot
wield
their
power
over
tenants
in
an
impressive
way,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
look
out
for
the
most
marginalized
fuel,
especially
with
coke
19,
making
housing
all
the.
C
I
Good
evening,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
thank
you.
I
would
like
to
once
again
ask
members
of
the
common
council
and
the
mayor
to
call
on
governor
cuomo
to
step
down.
I
believe
this
is
a
sentiment
shared
amongst
the
vast
majority
of
your
various
constituencies
here
in
ithaca
last
month.
I
brought
up
concerns
I
have
about
concerns.
I
have
about
the
makeup
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
common
council
at
the
common
council.
I
I
I
would
also
like
to
speak
out
against
the
proposed
right
to
renew
law
that
is
being
put
forth
by
the
ithaca
tenants.
Union
among
aspects
of
the
proposal
is
an
annual
five
percent
cap
on
rent
increase
when
real
inflation
is
somewhere
at
least
around
10
percent,
and
this
combined
with
the
increase
in
property
taxes
from
you
know,
the
increase
of
bubbling
property
values
from
inflation
would
guarantee
at
least
an
annual
five
percent
compounding
increase
in
rent,
which
kind
of
rapidly
bubbles.
I
If
you
do
the
math-
and
it
is
worth
noting
that
the
ethic
attendance
union
has
previously
stood
in
front
of
city
hall
with
chance
of
housing
as
a
human
right
and
landlords
are
parasites.
So
the
suggestion
that
george
made
that
this
isn't
to
go
after
landlords,
I
believe,
is
specious.
This
is
deliberately
targeting
individual
landlords,
as
well
as
property
management
companies
to
essentially
force
them
to
keep
people
within
their
properties
that
they
no
longer
want
there.
I
And
the
problem
with
the
perspective
of
the
ethic
attendance
union
is
that
private
property
is
a
human
right
as
guaranteed
by
article
17
of
the
declaration
of
human
rights,
and
this
proposed
law
aims
to
rob
homeowners,
landlords
and
property
management
companies
of
their
private
property
rights
and
add
for
further
burdensome
regulations
on
landlords.
Big
and
small,
this
will
inevitably
lead
to
small
landlords,
removing
their
properties
from
the
market,
leaving
fewer
units
to
be
rented
because
they
are
fearful
of
becoming
hostage
to
tenants
and
their
leases
for
an
indeterminate
amount
of
time.
I
Combining
this
with
the
recent
cdc
eviction
moratorium
that
is,
admittedly
unconstitutional
when
joe
biden
proposed
it,
it
is
probably
likely
there's
a
lot
of
properties
that
could
be
being
rented
right
now
that
are
not
being
done
so
because
the
homeowners
and
property
owners
are
fearful
of
getting
stuck
in
a
situation
where
they
have
people
who
are
just
not
willing
to
pay,
and
they
cannot
get
rid
of
them.
So,
under
the
proposed
grounds
for
removal
section
a
article
one
of
the
I
think
attendant
union
proposed
bill.
I
I
A
You
very
much
we'll
go
now
to
privilege
of
the
floor
and
I
know
for
privilege
of
the
floor.
We
had
two
special
resolutions
that
I'd
like
to
suggest.
We
do
first
before
we
do
the
rest
of
privilege,
including
ducks,
and
had
a
presentation
and
update
on
behalf
of
eric
rosario
about
reimagining
public
safety.
E
E
O
So
this
is
a
resolution
celebration
of
the
life
of
donald
j
slattery,
whereas
donald
slattery
served
in
the
ithaca
common
council
for
14
years,
overseeing
several
major
historical
milestones
in
the
city
of
ithaca,
including
the
development
of
the
ithaca
commons,
the
ithaca
youth
bureau
and
cass
park.
And
whereas
donald
slattery
served
as
the
city
of
ithaca's
acting
mayor
and
chaired
many
city
working
groups
and
committees
during
his
time
on
the
common
council.
O
Whereas
he
was
a
tireless
advocate
for
his
community,
serving
on
the
greater
ithaca
recreation
council,
the
northside
housing
board,
the
city
of
ithaca's
planning
board
and
the
tompkins
county
legislature,
where
he
was
also
cert.
He
also
served
five
years
in
the
united
states
naval
reserve
and
whereas
donald
slattery
spent
most
of
his
91
years
in
the
city
of
ithaca,
graduating
from
ithaca
high
school
in
1946
and
beginning
his
career
at
cornell
university
in
the
stock
room
of
the
campus
store,
eventually
rising,
to
become
operations
manager.
O
And
while
he
also
had
many
hobbies,
including
his
accomplishments
as
a
handyman
who
renovated
four
houses,
helped
his
children
with
their
household
repairs
and
maintained
his
castle
on
court
street.
Therefore
be
it
resolved
that
the
ithaca
common
council
hereby
celebrates
the
life
of
donald
j,
slattery
and
orders
flags
to
be
held
at
half
mass
for
a
week.
In
recognition
of
his
significant
contributions
to
the
city
of
ithaca
and
to
tompkins
county,
and
I
still
move
here.

And
whereas
in
1990
audrey
joined
community
action
agency
where,
among
other
things,
she
ran
a
homeless
shelter
that
other
that
housed.
People
that
other
shelters
would
not
serve
and
created
alongside
a
police
officer
and

owner.
The

end
breakfast
club,
bringing
together
all
segments
of
community,
including
law
enforcement,
mental
health
services,
businesses
and
young
people
to
develop
more
pride
in
the
west
end
and
improve
its
safety
and
community,
whereas
in
perhaps
her
best
known
role.
Audrey
became
director
of
the
multicultural
resource
center.
N
Serving
on
the
city
of
ithaca's
workforce
diversity,
advisory

co-founding
in
2013.
The

to
better

facilitated

being
a

member
of
the
northside

association,
serving
on

Whereas
audrey
regularly
expressed
pride
in
her
cherokee

and
syrian
ancestry
and
the
three
children,
four
grandchildren,
great
grandchild,
sisters
and
countless
other
friends
and
loved
ones
who
survive
her.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
of
ithaca
common

hereby
celebrates
the
life
of
audrey

to
recognize

O
On
me,
as
well
I'd
say
year
after
year,
five
or
maybe
six
of
of
getting
to
know
her,
she,
she
she
was
very
sweet
to
me.
Actually,
and
you
know
we
had
a
lot
of
really
wonderful
conversations
and
she's.
Definitely
someone
I
really
looked
up
to
in
this
community
and
thought
of
as
as
a
mentor,
especially
just
thinking
about
how
to
how
to
represent
the
very
big
and
diverse
second
ward.
So
I
was
shocked
and
and
very
sad
to
hear
that
she
had
passed.
A
P
I
had
great
opportunity
to
work
with
her
on
the
board
of
giac
and
then
also
the
workforce
diversity
advisory
committee.
I
saw
her
action
with
the
community,
her
engagement
with
with
all
sectors
of
of
our
population
and
to
be
an
outspoken
voice
when
people
were
fearful
to
speak.
So
I'm
very
appreciative
of
the
time
I
had
to
I
had
with
her
and
the
insight
and
the
challenge
that
she
posed
to
me
each
and
every
time
we
met
grateful
for
for
that.
Thank
you.
W
I
know
there
was
no
way
to
list
everything
she
was
involved
in
in
that
resolution,
but
one
of
my
fondest
memories
and
opportunities
is
being
able
to
serve
for
many
years
with
her
on
the
annual
mlk
breakfast
and
celebration,
and
she
was
well
before
her
time
in
terms
of
teaching
the
community.
I
think
how
you
really
celebrate
the
life
of
dr
king
and
really
helping
our
community
gel
around
the
kind
of
education
that
we
should
be
doing
on
that
day.
Pushing
the
committee
to
not
only
serve
food
and
come
together
as
a
community.
W
A
And
I
think
so
she
remembered
as
one
of
the
greatest
nonverbal
communicators
of
all
time
when
you
did
something
in
a
meeting.
She
did
not
like
never
had
to
guess
about
it
and
when
she
was
going
to
take
care
of
you,
you
never
had
to
guess
about
that
either
and
I
was
I
was
18
when
I
first
met
her
and
we
got
to
work
side
by
side
in
cornell,
cooperative
extension
and
she
just
took
care
of
me.
You
know
she
she
will
protect.
A
You
and
she'll
be
hard
on
you,
but
nobody
there's
nobody
in
town
that
had
done
more
work
to
earn
the
right
to
demand
and
expect
more
especially,
of
of
elected
officials,
because
she's
taking
care
of
generations
and
generations
of
kids
at
giac
and
at
south
side,
and
and
had
done
so
much
work
for
our
community
and
I'm
gonna
miss
her.
I'm
gonna
miss
her
very,
very
much
very,
very
much.
A
I
I
should
at
this
point
also
mention
that,
just
recently
we
lost
another
member
of
our
community
todd
peterson,
a
horribly
sad
loss,
another
person
who
who
took
care
of
generations
of
of
kids-
and
I
think
it's
hard
to
explain
to
people
why
kickball
means
so
much
to
ethicans.
You
know
anybody
who
grew
up
in
ithaca
they'll
talk
if
they
they
still
have
their
favorite
memories,
their
favorite
outs.
They
ever
got
their
favorite
home
runs.
A
They
ever
kicked
and
most
communities
is
not
like
that
and-
and
that
was
all
todd
peterson
in
35
years.
He
did
that
and
he
still
looked
27
years
old,
somehow
and
we're
just
very
sorry
for
his
loss
and
for
his
family's
loss
and-
and
I
wanted
to
be
sure-
I
know
we
all
found
about
out
about
that
later.
So
there
wasn't
the
same
amount
of
lead
time
to
do
a
resolution,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
that
that
gargantuan
hole
in
the
in
the
heart
of
our
city.
A
N
N
Brief
update
I'll
note
too,
that
we,
the
working
group,
is,
is
trying
to
be
careful
to
you
know:
we've
had
different
stakeholders
ask
eric
for
to
come
to
them
to
give
updates,
and
it's
really
important
that
we
do
everything
publicly
so
that
we
communicate
with
one
voice.
I
feel
a
little
nervous
because
I
am
you
know,
there's
a
short
notice
that
I
was
taking
over.
So
apologies.
N
Ordered
that
a
working
group
consisting
of
of
ipd
city
staff,
older
persons
residents
outside
experts,
in
this
case
largely
the
center
for
for
policing
equity,
to
outline
the
structure
of
a
new
public
safety
system
and
submit
recommendations
to
common
council.
We
set
ourselves
a
september
deadline
which,
which
I'll
talk
about
later
julia,
go
back.
Real,
quick.
This
mural
was
done,
which
is
impressed
by
ali,
was
done
by
the
residents
at
mccormick
center.
N
N
N
There
are
several
categories
of
work
that
we're
doing
delineated,
call
types,
meaning
how
different
types
of
calls
are:
dispatched,
staffing,
training
and
equipment,
data
analysis
and,
of
course,
the
budget,
so
they
will
be
broken
into
subcommittees,
but
the
delineated
call
types,
arguably
the
most
controversial
part
or
the
most
important
part
that
the
piece
that
will
determine
success
or
failure
with
regard
to
using
armed
and
unarmed
officers
will
be
worked
on
by
the
entire
working
group.
So
that
would
not
be
a
subcommittee
thing.
The
entire
task
force
will
be
working
on
that
problem.
N
N
N
N
It'll,
follow
after
we've,
determined
all
the
roles
and
what
the
actual
department
will
be
doing
so
that's
kind
of
last
and
next
slide
eric
is,
is
good
at
trying
to
motivate
us
with
inspiring
language,
so
we're
pioneers,
but
we're
not
alone
we're
tasked
with
building
a
public
safety
model,
that's
sustainable
and
will
serve
all
residents
of
the
ithaca
tompkins
county.
So
we
you
know
we're
trying
to.
E
E
A
R
Yeah,
I
would
just
like
to
thank
duckson
for
that
terrific
update,
you
may
have
been
nervous,
but
you
did
a
great
job
of
laying
out
the
work
that
is
before
us.
The
work
we've
already
done.
We
have
spent
time
on
building
our
working
group,
which
I
think
is
really
essential
for
the
task
before
us
and
rather
than
trying
to
rush
something
to
meet
a
deadline,
an
arbitrarily
set
deadline.
R
I
think
it
is
far
better
that
we
take
reasoned
and
thorough
approach
which,
which
is
what
we're
doing
so
for
my
colleagues,
not
only
you
have
ducks
in
georgia
myself
on
the
working
group,
but,
as
was
mentioned,
marquan
is
a
member
of
the
working
group.
He
is
a
rising
sophomore
government,
major
at
cornell
and
he's
a
wonderful
partner
in
this
work.
So
I
very
appreciate
very
much
appreciate
him
being
here
tonight
too.
N
R
N
Q
Q
A
P
P
I
brought
over
a
member
filed
resolution
asking
for
city
council
support
for
the
state
bill,
which
was
the
etpa
expansion
as
well
as
good
cause.
It
is
something
that
I
continue
to
to
support
sincerely.
I
think
residents
who
have
done
nothing
wrong.
They
have
abided
by
all
the
terms
of
their
lease.
They
have
been
good
tenants,
they've
paid
on
time
that
they
should
be
protected
and
guaranteed
the
right
to
renew
their
lease
and
to
be
able
to
reasonably
expect
a
reasonable
rent
increase.
P
What
I
have
heard
from
many
constituents
is
you
have
young
professionals
or
or
people
who
move
into
the
community
and
have
to
move
every
year
because
they
are
seeing
20
increases
to
their
rent
and
they
have
to
find
a
new
place
at
the
end
of
the
year.
The
rent
goes
up.
20,
this
is
contributing
to
gentrification
is
driving
out
our
residents.
P
It's
incredibly
expensive,
I
think
that's
entirely
unreasonable
at
the
time
when
the
good
cause
bill
was
at
the
new
york
state
senate,
what
they
proposed
as
a
reasonable
rent
increase
was
one
and
a
half
times
area
cpi,
plus
one
percent,
which
I
believe
in
this
case
would
be
a
five
percent.
I
know
that
the
the
city
of
albany's
recent
good
cause
legislation
was
a
five
percent
increase,
but
if
you
are
going
to
have
something
that
is
consistent
over
a
long
period
of
time,
I
think
tying
it
to
cpi
is
reasonable.
P
N
E
N
O
O
You
know-
and
I
would
consider
something
like
that
here:
it's
just
a
question
of
the
best
way
to
move
it
forward
and
you
know
if
it's
if
it
means
putting
on
the
agenda
for
the
planning
committee
for
us
to
have
a
discussion
about
it
and
see
if
it's
something
we
want
to
circulate
in
august.
I'm
willing
to
do
that.
I
mean
our
agendas
have
been
kind
of
crazy
lately,
they've.
We
have
a
lot
in
our
plates
right
now,
but
hopefully
it's
something
we
could
squeeze
onto
the
agenda
in
august
for
discussion.
F
I
believe
it
was
two
weeks
ago
tonight
our
community
lost
a
wonderful
young
14
year
old,
beautiful
girl,
sophia
nickerson
and
in
a
car
accident,
and
she
was
hit.
They
were
her
and
her
friend
were
hit
by
a
driver
while
they
were
walking
from
indian
creek
on
route
96,
a
horrible
tragedy-
and
I
just
like
to
acknowledge
their
family
and
and
know
that
we're
thinking
of
them
and
she
was
a
student
at
lacs.
O
O
Whereas
the
authority
has
indicated
that
the
sale
and
conveyance
of
the
property
by
the
authority
to
ithaca
and
os
housing
development
phone
company
incorporated
to
be
formed
as
a
new
york
not-for-profit
corporation,
which
will
be
organized
pursuant
to
new
york
state
housing.
Finance
law
is
necessary
in
order
for
the
project
to
obtain
the
benefits
of
federal,
low-income
housing,
tax
credits
and
to
otherwise
accomplish
the
redevelopment
of
the
project,
whereas
the
hdfc
will
be
formed
for
the
purpose
of
providing
residential
rental.
O
O
Whereas
the
hcfc
will
be
the
co-general
partner
of
the
partnership
and
whereas,
in
accordance
with
the
terms
and
provisions
of
new
york,
state
housing
law,
a
sale
or
lease
by
a
housing
authority
of
all
or
a
portion
of
a
project.
In
order
to
obtain
the
benefits
of
a
federal
program
of
assistance
for
low-income
housing
is
subject
to
the
approval
of
the
local
legislative
body.
Whereas
the
city
desires
to
encourage
a
sufficient
supply
of
adequate,
safe
and
sanitary
dwelling
accommodations
properly
planned
for
persons
with
low
incomes.
O
O
X
C
Y
We
will
be
working
with
every
single
one
of
them
to
make
sure
that
they
have
housing
in
the
neighborhood
they
choose
and
with
the
number
of
bedrooms
that
they
need,
everybody
will
be
getting
a
tenant
protection
voucher,
which
is
a
section
8
voucher
that
they
can
use
anywhere
in
the
city
county
state.
Wherever
they
choose
to
live.
Y
Y
But
every
tenant
has
been
adequately
informed.
This
is
our
third
meeting
with
tenants
lindsay
sitting
back.
There
has
met
with
probably
about
50
percent
of
the
tenants
one
on
one-on-one
so
far,
and
the
tenants
who
have
not
met
with
her,
who
were
in
attendance
at
our
meeting
earlier
today
are
making
appointments
to
do
so.
Q
Y
Yeah,
so
so,
right
now,
the
house,
it's
public
housing
and
it's
controlled
by
a
declaration
of
trust
from
the
united
states
government
to
the
ithaca
housing
authority.
Upon
transfer.
There's
two
entities
formed.
One
is
a
housing
development
fund
company
that
owns
the
land
and
the
other
is
a
limited
partnership
that
owns
the
buildings.
Y
The
housing
development
fund
company
is
controlled
by
the
not-for-profit
affiliate
of
the
ithaca
housing
authority
and
that
housing
development
fund
company
is
also
the
co-general
partner
of
the
limit
partnership.
The
limited
partnership
is
the
vehicle
that
we
use
in
order
to
bring
in
the
tax
credit
investor,
so
the
ethical
housing
authority
will
continue
to
manage
it.
The
tenants
won't
notice
any
difference
as
far
as
the
staffing
goes,
the
only
difference
being
that,
instead
of
writing
their
rent
check
to
the
ethical
housing
authority,
they'll
write
it
to
ithaca
nos
limited
partnership
and
for
anyone
wondering
nls.
Q
Y
The
conversion
of
overlook
will
be
no
more
than
nine
months.
The
south
view
will
be
about
a
year
and
a
couple
of
months
and
the
total
length
for
north
side
will
be
32
months,
inclusive
of
the
environmental
work,
the
demolition
and
the
reconstruction.
But
our
plan
is
to
reconstruct
those
buildings
block
by
block.
So
as
a
full
block
is
completed,
we'll
start
moving
people
in
sooner.
A
Yes,
it's
very
exciting
the
exciting
future
for
those
properties,
so
we're
going
down
to
city
administration
committee.
I
do
want
to
note
the
time
just
for
everybody
we're
already
at
ten
minutes
to
eight,
because
the
long
presentations
and
public
comment-
and
we
do
have
quite
a
few
voting
items-
so
stay
fresh
and
just
adds
up
so
dub
with
the
new
4.1.
W
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
common
council
approves
the
above
subject
project,
be
it
further
resolve
that
we
authorize
the
city
to
pay
100
of
the
federal
and
non-federal
share
for
the
project.
We
get
further
resolved
that
the
sum
of
1.5
million
is
hereby
appropriated
from
the
issuance
of
serial
bonds.
W
I
think
tim
is
here
as
well,
so
just
we
did
provide
a
quick
summary
of
the
evolution
of
this.
We
did
talk
about
it
at
november
city
administration,
now
that
we
actually,
thanks
to
the
work
of
the
planning
department,
have
received
the
grant.
There
was
suggestions
for
a
modification
of
what
we
actually
do
with
the
funding.
It
reduced
the
project
a
little
bit
just
to
talk
about
only
project
scope
and
not
the
full
construction
details
of
the
project
and
I'm
sure
tim
has
more
details.
P
Z
Our
intention
is
to
have
a
fairly
open
scope
and
planning
process
and
public
process
to
try
to
define
what
the
scope
of
work
ultimately
would
be.
As
I've
been
talking
to
other
people
about
the
work
people
have
asked
you
know,
could
we
study
an
overpass
on
route
13?
Could
we
study
at
underpass
under
13
and
I've
been
giving
everybody
the
answer
of?
Z
Yes,
we
can
give
a
a
good
hard
look
at
just
about
any
ideas
that
we
come
up
with
on
how
to
reach
the
goals
of
connecting
the
downtown
and
neighborhoods
to
the
waterfront
district
and
thinking
about
the
transportation
infrastructure
that
we
need
in
the
waterfront
district
for
access
and
mobility
right
now
we
do
not
have.
The
grant
did
not
include
the
grain.
Application
did
not
include
looking
at
meadow
and
fulton
and
the
cross
streets
over
there
and
since
there's
been
so
much
work
done
recently
there.
Z
I
don't
see
that
we
necessarily
need
to
include
that
and
work
under
the
build
grant.
That
said,
if
there's
an
interest
in
doing
that,
then
we
could
accommodate
that
in
the
scope,
but
I
think
that's
not
really
a
hot
topic
for
the
build
grant.
Quite
so
much
as
the
development
that's
already
been
proposed
in
the
on
the
waterfront
district
and
some
of
the
other
work
that's
been
looked
at
for
mitigations.
P
Z
But
the
reason
that
we're
looking
at
a
750,
000
city
cost
is
because
we
might
be
contemplating
upwards
of
15
million
dollars
worth
of
construction,
ultimately
to
reconstruct
route
13
from
purity
to
fall,
creek
to
build
a
new
road
or
any
of
those
things.
Those
are
all
massive
undertakings,
and
so
this
is
really
trying
to
be
like
a
kind
of
a
chance
of
a
career
chance
of
a
lifetime
to
really
transform
the
route
13
corridor
and
the
waterfront
district,
and
that's
why
it's
an
expensive
project
at
this
time.
P
Z
With
council
related
to
the
litigation
for
the
waterfront,
projects
has
shown
an
interest
in
having
it
just
be
a
t
intersection
and
not
being
a
full
four-way
intersection
the
build
grant,
I
don't
think,
was
you
know
the
one
that
was
written
that
was
far
before
these
conversations
related
to
development
projects.
So
I
think
it
was
probably
looking
at
a
four-way
intersection
at
the
time,
but
that's
not
determined
at
this
point.
We
have
a
we're
just
getting
ready
to
begin
a.
P
U
We're
about
72
percent
of
our
debt
limit,
expanded
exhausted
at
this
point.
So
this
wouldn't
do
too
much
to
that,
and
we
would
look
at
the
possibility
of
maybe
funding
this
in
a
different
way
through.
You
know
some
of
our
stimulus
funds,
possibly
down
the
line,
depending
on
how
we
end
up
using
those
funds,
so.
U
U
A
F
Z
Z
If
you
begin
a
federal
aid
project,
there
is
a
general
a
rule
of
you
need
to
get
something
to
construction
within
10
years,
so
there
would
be
an
expectation
that
something
would
get
to
construction.
Eventually,
it
could
be
as
simple
as
building
sidewalks
on
port
of
route
13..
It
doesn't
have
to
be
a
full.
F
E
E
A
W
Yeah
all
this
is
is
just
essentially
to
the
administrative
side
of
what
we
already
voted
on
for
the
room
techs.
I
know
tom
is
here
for
questions,
but
we
we
talked
about
putting
this
on
consent
or
not,
but
we
thought
it
was
helpful
to
have.
Everybody
understand
that
this
is
just
the
next
step
in
the
process
of
establishing
that
room.
Tax
revenue
for
the
conference
center
and
tom's

The
the
fiscal
oversight
committee
has
nine
members
and
the
other
four
members
are
non-city
members
representing
the
other
funding
partners
and
because
the
city
is
providing
a
financial
assistance
agreement
for
the
bonds
and
therefore
has
you
know
carrying
the
risk
in
the
project.
Ultimately,
we
felt
it
important
that
the
city
had
majority
representation.
AB
A
C
A
U
The
capital
review
project
committee
has
been
meeting
and
they
continue
to
meet
we're
winding
that
down.
So,
hopefully
we'll
have
recommendations
soon
on
on
the
capital
projects,
so
lots
of
budget
develop
development
currently
occurring,
and
that's
just
one
one
aspect
of
all
the
busy
work
that
we
have
down
in
the
controller's
office
just
quickly
on
the
2021
activity,
sales,
tax
collection,
we
to
date
have
collected
seven
million
seventy
thousand
dollars.
U
U
We
do
expect
unless
they're
knock
on
wood.
There's
any
changes
to
you
know
the
delta
variant,
making
changes
to
the
economy
in
in
the
near
future,
or
you
know,
supply
and
demand
changes
other
than
what
we've
seen
so
far
inflationary
factors.
We
do
expect
that
we
would
meet
that
budget
this
year.
So
that's
good
news,
certainly
it's
a
good
rebound
from
where
we
were
a
year
ago
and
so
we're
running
about
10
ahead
of
last
year's
activity.
So
it's
it's.
U
Certainly
it's
rebounded
sooner
than
I
anticipated
at
this
point,
so
definitely
good
news
on
parking
revenues
or
we're
still
off
on
our
budget,
we're
about
approximately
350
000
off
budget.
Now,
if
we
were
to
finish
the
year,
so
hopefully
we
can
make
up
some
ground.
Of
course
lots
of
construction
in
and
around
the
city
downtown
area.
So
maybe
that
has
something
to
do
with
it.
And
of
course
we
did
budget
for
the
green
street
parking
garage
closure,
but
parking
is
definitely
taking
his
time
rebounding
in
the
city.
U
Building
permit
revenue,
we
did
increase
our
2021
budget
significantly
based
on
activity
that
we
anticipated
would
occur
during
2021.
So
far
we
have
collected
a
million
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
we
are
starting
starting
to
see
a
ramp
up
in
in
those
revenues
as
a
result
of
the
you
know,
construction
season
well
underway
at
this
point,
so
hopefully
we'll
get
close
to
that
budget
and
lots
of
work
on
the
federal
stimulus
funds.
U
We
have
just
received
information
on
the
reporting
requirements
that
we
we
will
have
to
do.
In
fact,
we'll.
Our
first
report
is
due
at
the
end
of
this
month.
I
believe
so
we'll
start
to
work
on
that
and,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
that's
just
another
layer
of
activity
that
this
these
funds
bring
to
us.
But
again
we
have
lots
of
time
to
spend
these
money.
So
it's
wise
that
we
take
our
time
and
and
decide
how
plan
efficiently
and
effectively
on
how
to
spend
these
funds
moving
forward.
U
So
our
first
reporting,
probably
in
the
first
half
of
this
year,
will
be
just
reporting
that
we've
received
the
money
and
haven't
spent
a
whole
lot
of
it
and
that's
fine.
Certainly
again,
it's
proven
to
be
wise
in
our
spending
of
that
money,
because
it's
a
one-time
shot
and
you
know
we
could
get
in
serious
trouble.
U
If
we,
we
put
it
into
the
wrong
areas
of
of
spending
so
and
also
they
can
take
the
money
back
if
we
spend
it
inappropriately
so
we'll
continue
to
work
through
that
process
with
a
lot
of
infrastructure
work
that
will
take
up
a
lot
of
those
funds
as
we
move
forward.
So
I
think
with
that.
I
will
end
my
report
because
I
know
we
have
a
big
agenda
left
so.
P
Well,
at
some
point
perhaps
not
now,
but
I
would
like
to
know
more
about
what
types
of
projects
in
the
infrastructure
we're
looking
at
allocating
funding,
for.
I
know
many
municipalities,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
looking
at
water
and
sewer
infrastructure.
So
if
we
could
get
an
idea
of
those
what
seems
to
be
rising
to
the
top.
U
E
W
Yeah,
that
was
a
segue
to
my
reminder,
which
was
how
I
was
going
to
wrap
up
ca,
which
is
make
sure
you've
all
blocked
off
september
29th.
That
was
included
in
your
budget
dates,
but
we
had
set
that
date
aside
to
do
capital
projects
and
then
a
couple
meetings
ago,
we
announced
that
the
arp
funding
was
going
to
be
wrapped
into
the
capital
project
process,
so
september
29th.
You
should
see
all
that
information.
Yes,.
O
Public
comment
period
to
include
a
virtual
public
hearing
within
with
opportunity
for
citizens
to
comment
in
real
time,
provides
reasonable
notice
and
opportunity
for
comment
to
meet
citizen
participation,
requirements
for
consolidated
plans
and
action
plans,
whereas
the
applicability
of
temporary
covet
19
pandemic
amendments
to
the
citizen
participation
plan
expire
on
july
31st
2021
through
the
federal
emergency,
though
the
federal
emergency
may
extend
beyond
the
expiration
date.
Now,
therefore
be
resolved.
O
Be
it
further
resolved
that
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council
hereby
determines
that
the
proposed
action
will
result
in
no
significant
impact
on
the
environment
and
then
a
negative
declaration
for
purposes
of
our
article.
Eight
of
the
environmental
conservation
law
be
filed
in
the
concordance
with
state
law
and
isi,
move.
O
O
Whereas
the
ira
further
concluded
that
the
fld
proposal
offered
strong
potential
to
improve
the
physical,
social
and
economic
characters
of
the
project
site
and
surrounding
area.
In
particular.
The
following
commitment
from
the
developer
to
share
environmental
cleanup
costs,
clarification
of
franklin's
boating,
center's
commitment
to
make
improvements
in
terms
of
visual
access
and
limited
boat
storage.
Commitment
by
the
developer
to
address
the
us
coast.
Guard
auxiliaries
need
to
maintain
its
water
access
and
continue
operations,
whereas
to
indicate
conceptual
support
to
pursue
an
urban
renewal
project
with
fld
based
on
their
conceptual
development
proposal.
O
The
iura
requests,
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council,
provide
the
iura
with
site
control
of
certain
city-owned
properties
and
in
little
island.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council
hereby
authorizes
transfer
of
the
following
city-owned
properties
on
india,
island
on
the
to
to
the
ithaca
urban
renewal
agency,
vienna,
an
option
agreement
for
the
purpose
of
structuring
a
proposed
property,
sale
and
development
agreement
with
finger
lakes,
development
llc
to
undertake
an
urban
renewal
project
subject
to
approval
by
common
council,
and
then
the
properties
are
listed.
There's
four
of
them.
O
The
former
agway
fuels
property,
the
property
located
at
446
to
getting
boulevard
a
discontinued
segment
of
the
old
tiganic
boulevard
and
508
tiganic
boulevard
subject
to
acquisition
from
new
york
state.
We
have
further
resolved
that
the
purchase
option
agreement
may
only
be
exercised
upon
common
council
approval
of
an
inland
island
urban
rural
project.
We
have
further
resolve
that
the
mayor's
subject
to
review
by
the
city
attorney
is
hereby
authorized
to
implement
this
resolution,
including
execution
of
any
and
all
instruments
necessary
to
execute
an
option
agreement
with
the
iura
and
isms.
A
O
Yes,
so
there
is
there's
a
pretty
lengthy
description
of
the
of
the
project
in
the
agenda
package.
I
mean
the
thing
that
this
came
up
with.
The
planning
committee
I
think
wanted
to
stress
now,
is
that
this
is
really
in
its
early
stages,
because
it
still
has
to
go
through
the
negotiation
with
the
iura,
so
take
any
sort
of
concept
drawings
with
a
grain
of
salt.
At
this
point
I
mean
really
what
we're
doing
with
this
action
tonight
is
choosing
a
preferred
developer
and.
E
F
E
C
Q
I
think
this
is
an
interesting
project,
but
I
certainly
am
concerned
about
the
the
size
of
the
buildings
I
mean
I.
I
noticed
that
some
of
the
pictures
that
were
included
are
maybe
something
like
amsterdam
or
you've,
got
different
size,
windows
and
different
materials
and
stuff
like
that.
So
my
understanding
is
that
we
will
have
a
chance
to
look
at
some
more
detailed
plans
at
some
stage
in
the
future.
That's
this
option
to
yeah
okay.
Q
Q
Now
the
buildings
I
see
to
me
are
inappropriate
for
a
waterfront
position.
I
mean
in
terms
of
the
they're
just
two
blocks.
Basically
now
I
know
this
is
an
initial
sketch,
but
you
know
having
more
articulation,
having
a
bit
more
interest
and
there's
a
mention
of
materials
and
stuff
like
that,
but
some
of
the
pictures
are
of
the
panels
that
we
see
in
many
new
buildings.
So
you
know
I
mean
I
want
to
emphasize
that.
Q
I
think
this
is
an
exciting
project
and
I'll
certainly
support
it
at
this
stage,
on
the
understanding
that
there'll
be
a
lot
of
work
in
terms
of
the
design
and
perhaps
some
reduction
in
the
the
mass
of
both
of
these
buildings,
if
it's
possible,
I'd,
definitely
like
to
see
that
because
this
is
a
really
important
area
for
development.
Obviously,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
comments
on
the
record.
AA
O
O
The
other
thing
I
mentioned
at
the
planning
committee-
that
is
a
concern
for
me
personally,
is
just
making
sure
that
there's
enough
active
uses
at
this
site
to
really
drop
people,
because
I
think
what
I
worry
about
is
you
know
if
you
don't
have
that
ground
floor,
active
use
and
there
isn't
a
reason
for
people
to
come.
There
you're
going
to
end
up
with
a
lot
of
green
space
where
there's
just
nobody
there.
O
So
I
think
those
are
probably
my
two
biggest
concerns
just
making
sure
that
we
have
the
public
access
to
the
waterfront
and
that
there's
like
a
draw
for
people.
You
know
one
thing
I
really
I
really
like
about
this.
This
project
is
the
support
for
the
existing
businesses
that
are
there
and
also,
of
course,
the
affordable
housing.
I
think
inhs
does
really
great
projects,
and
you
know.
P
Yeah
as
part
of
my
work
on
the
water
resources
council,
we
created
a
boating
map
that
provided
a
guide
to
boaters
on
cuga
lake
and
one
of
the
things
that
became
very
clear.
Is
that
there's
very
little
support
for
boating
on
kiyoga
lake
and
so
being
able
to
maintain
that
and
support
the
the
repair
and
storage
facilities
and
and
stores
that
support
boarding
and
and
docking
of
the
boats
in
and
out
taking
them
in
and
out.
All
of
that,
I
think
is
really
essential.
I
think
that's
important.
P
So
there's
a
lot
to
this
that
I
I
really
do
like
I.
I
am
disappointed
and-
and
perhaps
as
was
mentioned,
that
that
there's
more
opportunity
to
provide
this
at
the
iura,
I
thought
that
this
resolution
would
be
the
opportunity
for
council
to
say
explicitly
to
the
iura.
What
we
are
looking
for
in
this
project
project
and
incorporation
of
active
use
is
important.
This
this
is
such
a
unique
parcel
and
to
be
able
to
have
small
businesses.
Small
storefronts
really
add
vitality
for
community
members
for
visitors
along
the
waterfront,
there's
no
other
place.
P
P
I
I
am
a
little
concerned
that
it
seems,
like
the
the
island,
is
essentially
becoming
a
big
parking
lot
to
serve
the
entire
area
it.
It
was
distracting
to
me
to
see
the
presentation
commingled
with
development
ideas
of
properties
across
the
barge
canal.
It
seemed
to
me
that
it
demonstrated
that
that
this
parcel
was
tied
to
those
development
projects
as
a
way
to
provide
parking
for
adjacent
development
projects.
R
Thank
you.
I
am
supportive
of
this
project
for
at
least
two
reasons:
one,
the
affordable
housing
building,
the
partnership
that
the
developer
has
worked
on
with
inhs,
and
we
know
that
inhs
has
a
very
good
record
of
providing
and
managing
quality,
affordable
housing
buildings,
and
my
understanding
is
the
building
they
may
be.
R
Considering
and
and
again,
as
has
been
said,
what's
in
the
resolution,
right
now
is
conceptual:
it's
not
final
design,
but
we
can
look
around
at
some
other
inhs
buildings,
whether
it's
breckenridge
or
210,
hancock
and
see
very
attractive,
appealing,
affordable
housing
buildings,
and
so
I'm
pleased
with
that.
I'm
also
really
intrigued
by
the
home.
Tell
concept
that
I
imagine
is
going
to
be
very
popular
and
appealing.
It
offers
some
alternatives
to
traditional
hotels
or
possibly
airbnb.
R
I
do
agree
with
cynthia
in
that
I
was
confused
initially
in
reading
the
proposal
with
the
co-mingling
of
the
development
ideas
for
across
the
inlet,
but
I
just
kept
reminding
myself
that
what
we
are
charged
right
now
with
looking
at
is
the
development
on
inlet
island,
and
I
think
this
is
creative.
I
think
also
there
is
some
storefront,
some
small
storefront
active
use
actually
on
the
island
donna,
and
I
took
a
walk
because
I
needed
to
visually
walk
the
space
and
there
there
are
some
shops
that
could
be
further
developed.
R
AC
AC
Oh
yes,
I
remember
now
it
was
in
our
presentation
at
pedc
that
chris
prue
said
that
when
they
were
talking
about
parking,
they
wanted
to
draw
some
compromise
between
a
lot
of
activity
that
would
draw
parking
and
the
need
to
reduce
parking,
and
I
thought,
oh
that's
right.
If
you
have
more
shops
and
more
restaurants
as
much
as
we
promote
non-vehicular
access,
we're
still
going
to
have
the
need
for
more
parking.
So
that's
also
what
convinced
me
that
asking
for
more
ground
floor
active
uses
is
not
all
that
important
to
me.
F
And
if,
if
if
these
massive
buildings
are
scaled
back,
there's
more
room
for
that
type
of
development
and
it
could
face
face
the
water,
so
I
think
those
ideas
should
be
encouraged.
Inlet
island
is
it's
different
than
city
harbor,
it's
different
than
cherry
street.
It's
where
people
go
and
for
the
west
side
of
town
and
beyond.
It's
it's
really
where
people
go
after
work
or-
and
I
think
that
that
you
should
be
encouraged-
and
I
know
parking
is
going
to
be
a
problem.
F
N
N
The
difference
between
the
areas
that
we're
talking
about
redeveloping
versus
the
existing
shops
is
that
when
you
want
to
think
about
waterfront
areas
that
I
enjoy
the
path
is
along
the
water
and
then
the
stores
are
on
the
other
side
of
the
path
so
that
you
are
enjoying
that
retail
experience.
You
know
I
grew
up
in
south
jersey,
where
the
boardwalk
is
along
the
ocean
and
then
the
shops
are
inland,
and
so
you
don't
get
that
on.
On
the
other.
E
N
O
O
You
always
think
about
like
city
center,
which
I
think
in
general
is
a
good
building,
and
you
know
it's
great.
The
hail
house
is
going
to
be
moving
in
there,
hopefully
eventually
and
the
ctb
is
in
there.
But
you
know:
half
of
the
building,
if
you're
walking
along
state
street
is
a
gym
on
the
ground
floor
and
if
you
just
think
like
what,
if
that
was
actually
you
know
a
retail
space
or
a
cafe
or
something
can
provide
jobs
for
people
and
also
opportunities
for
the
public
to
go
in
there.
So.
O
Kind
of
the
vision
that
I
had
for
this
area
is
just
kind
of
creating
more
of
those
types
of
spaces
to
attract
people
and
then
the
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
say
quickly
about
inhs.
You
know,
I
think
you
know
the
scale
of
the
building,
and
I
understand
that
the
discomfort
with
height
you
know
particularly
along
the
waterfront,
but
I
do
think
you
know,
especially
when
it's
affordable
housing.
O
They
make
a
tremendous
difference
in
that
because
it
means
that
section
8
holders
can
afford
to
live
in
the
city
and
again,
as
we
all
know,
that
there's
there's
tons
of
benefits
to
that
you're
you're
close
to
jobs,
you're
you're
close
to
amenities.
So
so
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm
I'm
less
concerned
about
the
scale
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing.
P
Yeah,
I
agree
and
it's
interesting.
You
know
when
we've
talked
about
first
floor,
active
use
in
the
past,
and
we've
mentioned
it
in
the
downtown
area
and
in
college
town
I
mean
college
town
has
very
little
to
no
parking,
but
we
didn't
hesitate
to
institute
a
ground
floor,
active
use
requirement
in
college
town
because
we
were
interested
in
adding
to
the
vibrancy
of
of
that
area.
Q
Graham
and
thank
you
yeah
I'll,
just
respond
to
seth's
comment,
I
mean
yeah,
I
agree.
Affordable
housing
is
absolutely
important
and
and
critical,
but
I
don't
think
we
should
just
abandon
that
to
kind
of
let's
say
not
or
not
as
good
design
as
we
can
get,
and
if
that
means
changing
the
price
that
the
developer's
paying
for
the
land,
then
I
think
we
should
consider
that,
because
you.
C
Q
I
don't
want
to
stigmatize,
affordable
housing
as
okay,
there's
a
bad
design
there,
it's
affordable
housing.
Here's
a
really,
you
know
a
different.
What
are
they
called
hotels
or
something?
That's
you
know
up
market
design.
I
mean,
I
think,
that
stigmatizes,
affordable
housing
so
as
much
as
possible.
I'd
like
us
to
be
flexible
and
get
as
much
good
design
and
affordable
housing
as
we
we
can,
and
that
goes
to
materials,
especially
in
such
an
important
area.
Q
It's
important,
I
think,
for
us
to
think
about
how
we
can
reduce
the
impact
of
of
this
surface
parking,
whether
it's
through
more
trees
or
I
mean
I've,
seen
some
projects
that
actually
incorporate
solar
panels
across
surfing
or
surface
parking,
which
you
know
obviously
generates
electricity,
but
also
keeps
the
cars
cooler
as
well.
So
I
mean
if
the
project
could
think
about
something
like
that.
I'd
appreciate
it
thanks.
F
G
All
right,
oh
yeah,
thanks,
I'm
also
supportive
of
the
idea
of
the
of
the
ground
floor,
active
use,
a
couple
couple
of
things
I
mean,
especially
when
we
think
of
it
the
way
duckson
described
it
and
and
how
there's
a
you
know,
waterfront
access
and
then
on
the
other
side
of
that
is
the
ground
floor.
So
so
two
things
to
point
out.
G
One
is
you
know
I
agree
with
colleagues
who
think
you
know
there's
already
some
of
that
there
now,
but
most
of
that
exists
in
properties
that
have
yet
gone
through
this
kind
of
development.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
if
we
set
a
precedent
here,
it
will
be
maintained
as
we
go
into
other
possible
development
projects,
or
at
least
enough
of
it,
and
then
the
second
part
of
that
is
cynthia.
G
I
think
you
suggested
that
maybe
there
needs
to
be
language
in
the
resolution
to
confirm
that
and
I'm
curious
if
you
have
a
suggestion
of
where
that
is,
and
also
if
our,
if
we
as
colleagues,
think
that's
if
that's
required
or
is
it
sufficient
as
is,
and
our
processes
can
hold,
the
developers
account
accountable
to
this.
In
the
future,.
A
A
I
don't
know
if
it
would
would
please
the
council
to
just
convey
this
information
to
the
iura
and
say
that
it
was
a
pretty
clear
sense
of
the
board
really
interested
in
active
uses,
ground
floor
uses
and
don't
want
to
see
a
trade-off
between
affordable
housing,
as
steve
just
said,
but
still
you
know
seeing
those
ground
floor,
commercial
spaces
were
important
if
that
would
satisfy
council
as
opposed
to
having
to
draft
something
right
now.
Yes,
cynthia.
P
A
V
Because
the
project
has
to
come
back
to
common
council
for
final
approval,
your
recommendations
are
going
to
be
very
strong
to
the
ira.
I
think
I
mean
they
need
to
to
develop
a
project
that
will
gain
a
majority
support
of
the
common
council.
So
hearing
these
input
is
very
is
helpful
because
it
helps
provide
direction
and
they
know
what
they
need
to
do
to
bring
a
project
back.
That
can
get
approval.
W
A
E
O
O
Easement
both
encumbering
the
parcel
now
currently
identified,
and
whereas
mckinley
ithaca,
llc
the
contract
purchaser
of
the
property
and,
on
behalf
of
gpa
management.
The
current
property
owner
owner
of
401
east
state
street
has
requested
that
the
city
release
rights
to
a
pedestrian
easement,
extending
from
the
most
northeasternly
point
of
the
property
to
the
northwest
running
along
the
property
line,
release
this
drainage
easement
with
replacement
and
allow
mckinley
ithaca
llc
to
place
a
shoring
system
for
its
construction
in
city
property.
O
Whereas
city
staff
are
supportive
of
releasing
the
easements
in
exchange
for
the
replacement
easements
indicated
in
exhibit
a
and
whereas
in
consideration
for
the
city's
release
of
the
pedestrian
easement,
specifically
mckinley
ithaca
llc
will
complete
the
following
site:
improvements
that
will
benefit
the
city
and
the
general
public
completion
of
the
six
mile
creek
trail
and
railing
approximately
300
feet.
To
the
end
of
the
property,
this
will
match
the
existing
trail
and
be
publicly
accessible.
O
Extension
of
the
six
mile
creek
trail
by
approximately
150
feet
into
the
city.
Owned
property
to
the
east
of
401
e
state
street
site
provide
a
replacement,
pedestrian
easement
of
approximately
160
feet,
a
pedestrian
bridge
open
for
public
use
across
the
retaining
wall
and
install
stairs
from
the
state
street
onto
the
project
site
below
to
connect
to
the
six
mile
creek
trail,
whereas
the
extinguishment
of
the
easements
was
considered
as
part
of
the
secret
process
for
the
negative
declaration
issued
on
may
25th
2021.
O
Whereas
the
city
charter
requires
approval
by
three-fourths
of
the
common
council
to
authorize
divestment
of
real
property,
whereas
the
city
charter
further
requires
notice
of
a
proposed
sale
to
be
published
no
less
than
once.
Each
week
for
three
weeks,
the
first
notice
being
published
in
less
than
30
days
prior
to
the
approval
vote
and
such
notices
have
been
published.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
and
enacted
by
the
common
council
of
the
city
of
ithaca
as
follows,
and
I
move
as
written.
O
14
2014,
where,
as
yurky
abuba,
submitted
a
proposal
for
a
mural
honoring,
all
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
through
the
covet
19
pandemic
as
part
of
the
city's
mural
and
street
art
program.
Whereas
the
artist
will
self-fund
the
mural
installation
and
the
project
will
be
budget
neutral
to
the
city.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
of
ithaca
common
council
selects
yorkie
abuba's
mural
proposal
to
be
installed
on
the
dryden
road
parking
garage
to
be
added
to
the
city
of
ithaca's.
A
P
A
O
N
O
Whereas
this,
the
steering
committee
worked
with
the
artist
to
develop
a
conceptual
design.
The
project
steering
committee
reviewed
the
city's
list
of
nearly
two
dozen
potential
city-owned
sites
suitable
for
signing
sculptures
evaluated.
Those
sites
where
the
committee
initially
selected
a
preferred
location
for
the
sculpture
in
cass
park.
O
Whereas
the
city
staff
and
pruner
solicited
public
input
on
this
project,
location
and
the
commission
also
met
to
discuss.
The
proposal
at
the
june
meeting
did
not
support
this
location
but
suggested
revisiting
other
possible
locations,
including
the
black
diamond
trail
trailhead,
and
a
location
on
island
between
cliff
street
and
state
street,
known
as
pete's
triangle,
and
either
of
these
two
sites
has
had
been
evaluated
and
deep,
suitable
by
city
staff
and
the
project
steering
committee.
O
Whereas
city
staff
had
been
consulted
on
the
proposed
locations
and
confirmed
that
a
sculpture
in
the
proposed
areas
would
not
impact
any
surrounding
natural
recreational
features,
whereas
the
already
the
sculpture
is
scheduled
to
be
fabricated,
installed
in
the
late
summer,
fall,
2021
and
prior
to
installation.
The
project
team
will
contract
with
a
qualified
engineer
to
design
an
appropriate
footer
and
whereas
the
project
is
funded
by
two
private
grants
to
the
community
arts,
partnership
and
center
for
community
transportation
and
no
city
funds
are
required
to
design
fabricate
or
install.
O
O
I'll
just
move
black
diamond
trail
trailhead
because
that's
the
one
I
like,
but
we
can
have
a
debate
about
it.
Black
diamond
trail
trailhead
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
the
selected
artist
may
proceed
with
the
installation
of
the
sculpture,
upon
approval
by
common
council
and
the
execution
of
agreement
with
the
city
as
reviewed
by
the
city
attorney
a
nice
enough.
A
E
E
I
Q
Just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
involved
for,
as
liaison
to
prune
commission,
to
have
them
give
the
input
on
this,
I
think,
was
important
in
the
whole
process
of
thinking
about
where
these
are
located,
and
I
actually
think
this
is
a
much
more
appropriate
location
for
it.
So
I
think
this
is
a
good
process
that
we
went
through,
even
though
it
took
longer
than
we
expected.
N
E
AB
The
the
normal
channel
under
normal
times
would
be
to
go
through
the
community
life
commission,
which
is
not
meeting
so.
Instead
we
brought
this
proposal
to
planning
and
economic
development
committee
and
they
heard
from
members
of
pruner
and
members
of
the
public
that
they,
you
know
that
they
wanted
to
have
some
additional
public
input,
and
so
the
planning
committee
directed
the
the
folks
working
on
the
project,
including
myself,
to
bring
it
to
pruner
for
public
discussion.
AB
We
reached
out
to
the
public
through
the
newspaper
through
through
a
notice
using
the
city's
notice
system
and
how
to
comment
form
and
and
that
information's
in
the
memo.
What
the
what
the
content
of
the
comments
was
pruner
then
had
a
discussion
about
the
comments
and
and
and
brought
in
their
own,
their
own
views
about
it,
which,
which
led
us
to
say
you
know,
that's,
there's
not
support,
there's
not
overwhelming
support.
I
guess
you
know.
There's
some
people
clearly
supported
the
location
it
was
initially
proposed,
but
others
did
not.
AB
Some
people
opposed
the
the
sculpture
altogether,
but
among
the
the
folks
that
were
opposed,
there
was
certainly
a
large
group
of
them
that
weren't
opposed
to
the
sculpture
per
se,
but
did
not
like
that
particular
location
in
cass
park.
So
pruner,
then
you
know
had
a
discussion
and
there
was
a.
I
think,
a
sense
that
those
other
locations
were
were
either.
P
P
P
The
fact
that
this
work
is
commissioned
an
artist
from
california.
You
know
when,
when
we
have
an
incredible
local
talent
here
you
know
with
with
covet
and
everything
and
and
everything
being
under
wraps.
This
would
have
been
an
opportunity
to
keep
that
funds
and
and
support
our
community
members,
and
I
would
like
to
see
some
focus
directed
at.
A
A
N
So
jennifer
mentioned
jennifer
dodson
mentioned
ongoing
mou
discussions
with
cornell,
and
we
have
for
now
agreed
to
extend
the
existing
mou.
There
typically
for
three
years,
extend
the
existing
mou
for
an
additional
one
year
at
a
three
percent
increase,
while
very
difficult
negotiations
continue
so
more
to
come
on.
N
R
The
purpose
was
to
look
at
the
workforce,
housing
policy
and
to
we
had
a
very
good
discussion
on
whether
there
should
be
changes
made
to
the
the
payment
in
lieu
of
requiring
20,
affordable
units
in
a
development
project,
and
so
those
the
details
will
be
shared
with
the
full
ida
board.
At
the
next
meeting.
A
Truly
unbelievable,
I
mean,
I
think,
if
you
look
at
the
pictures
on
the
wall,
you'll
see
that
common
council
meetings
have
run
more
or
less
the
same
way
for
decades,
julie's
figured
out
a
way
to
adjust
the
way.
We
do
these
meetings
like
seven
times
in
the
last
year,
and
one
enormous
time
in
the
literally
the
last
24
hours
as
the
mass
guidance
changed
moving
to
the
social
distancing,
bringing
people
in
in
tears
asking
people
to
sign
up
in
advance.
A
A
B
A
B
G
Q
O
A
A
W
A
I'll
just
add
my
my
thanks
to
the
city's
negotiating
team
led
by
shelley,
michelle
nunn,
steve
thayer
and
ari
levine,
and
the
negotiating
team
of
csea
admin
really
put
their
heads
together
over
many
months.
You
know
and
and
found
a
way
to
to
recognize
the
hard-working
contributions
of
the
csa
unit
and
the
financial
constraints
of
the
city.
I
think
this
is
a
contract
that
does
both.
A
Okay
are
very
vote
all
those
in
favor
and
that
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
a
motion
I'll
now
entertain
a
motion
to
enter
into
executive
session,
to
discuss
contract
negotiations
on
contract
negotiations
and
I'll
just
note
that
there
will
be
no
more
voting
items
for
the
rest
of
this
evening
for
members
of
the
public
who
may
be
waiting
for
any
there's
nothing
to
wait
for
anymore,
so
we
can
disconnect
the
broadcast.
