To
see
you
yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
allocating
some
space
for
me
at
your
meeting
this
morning,
I
was
planning
to
attend
some
of
the
other
meetings,
but
it
just
it
just
didn't
work
in
terms
of
teaching.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
don't
have
a
formal
presentation
for
you
this
morning.
I
just
wanted
to
do
a
very
brief
check-in.
Give
you
an
update
and
then
perhaps
in
the
future.
I
can
provide
more
concrete
presentation.
D
If
that's
that's
how
you
all
flow,
but
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
and
a
couple
of
the
things
that
I
think
are
are
most
critical
as
it
relates
to
ribs
is
that
we
have
every
intention
of
reopening
ribs,
but
as
part
of
that
journey,
the
southside
board
is
working
very
very
closely
with
they
didn't
call
people
stakeholders,
but
I'd
like
to
call
them
local
bike.
Gurus,
okay,
and
so
some
of
these
folks
that
are
intimately
connected
with
our
journey
are
grace.
D
Johnston
fennell,
I'm
not
sure
folks
have
heard
of
her
and
hector
chang
with
bike,
walk,
tompkins,
tara,
tara,
escuerdo,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
pronouncing
her
last
name,
escudero,
so
tara.
I'm
not
sure
if
you
all
remember
tara,
but
tara
was
a
former
employee
at
ribs
and
she's,
just
really
really
an
incredible
person
as
well
as
matt
ford,
a
long
time
volunteer
at
ribs
and,
lastly,
mason
wilson.
So
these
are
the
five
people
that
are
are
central
to
this.
What
I'd
like
to
call
a
think
tank
slash
re-imagining
of
ribs.
D
D
You
know
these
are
young
people
that
were
like
nah,
that's
not
a
place
where,
where
we
want
to
be
and
and
here's
why,
and
so,
we've
been
doing
some-
some
really
intentional
listening
as
it
relates
to
what
many
of
the
young
people
want,
more
specifically
a
group
of
young
people
from
the
village
at
ithaca
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
exploration.
In
addition
to
these
five
people,
I
would
add:
merrell
phipps
the
executive
director
of
village
at
ithaca
as
well
so
she's
engaged
in
the
conversation.
D
So
some
of
what
we're
talking
about
is
providing
an
opportunity
and
even
space,
specific
time
associated
for
these
young
people
to
to
get
creative
and
do
what
they
want
to
do.
So
in
the
winter
time,
there's
been
some
exploration
about
doing
some
workshops
as
it
relates
to
that,
but
all
in
all,
a
reopening
of
ribs
and
revitalizing
of
ribs
does
not
mean
shifting
away
from
so
much
of
the
purpose
and
the
practice
that
ribs
has
conducted
for
so
many
years.
D
You
know
the
tradition
associated
with
with
the
space,
but
we're
ready
to
expand
as
well.
So
one
of
the
last
things
I'll
say
is
that
we've
also
been
in
direct
contact
with
a
lot
of
bike
organizations
across
the
country,
particularly
in
chicago,
so
we're
working
closely.
There's
actually
a
cornell
alum
who
lives
in
chicago,
and
he
is
one
of
the
leaders
of
the
major
taylor
chapter
in
chicago,
and
there
are
a
few
bike.
D
D
A
I'm
just
not
to
bug
you
there,
no,
no,
but
related
to
the
space.
The
agency,
you
know
when
the
when
the
project
started
at
5,
30
west
buffalo
had
a
bit
of
a
concern,
as
I
recall,
about
the
physical
distance
from
the
south
side
community
center,
and
is
that
is
that
an
issue
you
feel
is
an
ongoing
issue
or,
if
you're
suggesting
that
you
have
enough,
you
know
ability
to
pay
rent.
D
No,
I
think,
that's
a
really
good
question
and
and
in
their
spatiality,
but
even
deeper,
it's
about
the
people
and
the
vision
and
the
program
right,
because
in
the
past,
as
many
of
us
reflect
on
what
we
have
loved
about
written
or
some
of
our
stories,
you
know
I
remember
when
we
would
have
kids
in
the
after
school
program
or
in
at
camp.
You
know,
and
that
was
a
part
of
the
journey
that
was
a
part
of
their
day.
D
But
I
do
think
that
our
relationship
with
that
location
can
be
stronger
right
as
I've
as
I've
experienced
it
or
others
have
experienced
it
in
the
past.
But
I
I'm
looking
forward
to
just
just
again
just
making
that
even
more
explicit
and
for
me
there's.
The
relationship
with
village
at
ithaca
now
makes
me
feel
like
we
have
multiple
checkpoints.
D
You
know
because
they're
right
there
on
on
seneca
street
and
so
yeah,
I
I'd
love
to
do
something
that
emphasizes
what
it
is
a
little
bit
more
explicitly
in
terms
of
the
you
know.
The
core
some
folks
have
have
brought
up
some
ideas
as
it
relates
to
that,
but
the
building,
and
especially
all
that
is
in
it
and
how
people
have
been
able
to
access
it
works.
F
E
D
I'll
also,
I'm
happy
to
share
with
you
all
a
virtual
kwanzaa
celebration
that
will
offer
some
updates,
as
it
relates
to
what
southside
has
been
looking
like
these
days
in
in
the
building
and
out
of
the
building
some
of
the
services.
I
have
been
told
that
we
do
not
do
a
good
job
bragging
or
at
least
promoting
and
sharing
some
of.
What's
real,
we're
just
doing
it
we're
just
very
much
in
it,
but
happy
to
share
that
as
well
and
as
part
of
it.
D
E
D
E
E
D
B
Yeah,
thank
you
and
nia
thanks.
So
much
for
this
update
on
ribs,
it's
really
reassuring
to
hear
the
the
progress
that
is
being
made.
I
wonder
if
you
have
a
draft
position,
job
description
for
that
program.
Manager
role.
Is
that
something
that's
finalized?
What's
the
time
frame,
do
you
have
a
sense
of
the
time
frame
when
you'll
be
looking
for
a
person
to
fill
that
role.
D
Our
vision
is,
as
I
mentioned,
to
to
have
a
leader
to
guide
that
process
rather
than
multiple
leaders.
So
so
you
know
I
we've
been
meeting
on
a
weekly
basis.
Okay,
so
that's
how
that
intimate
of
a
of
a
connection
it
is-
and
some
of
the
conversation
right
now
is
about
okay.
How
do
we
get
it
open
in
the
winter
to
do
some
internal
workshop
dynamics,
but
also
to
open
the
front
so
that
you
know
folks
who've
been
able
to
access
the
space
can
can
access
the
space.
D
The
winter
is
fairly
slow
generally,
but
there
are
resources
available
in
the
front
that
people
can
utilize.
So
to
answer
your
question,
I
am
really
hoping
that
by
the
time
it
before
the
warmth
that
we
have
a
liter
of
ribs-
but
I
don't
want-
want
people
to
think
that
nothing
will
be
happening
between
now
and
then
does
that
make
sense.
D
So
I
know
that
is
it's
vague.
It's
an
outer
shell,
laura
that
I'm
offering,
but
just
know
by
by
the
warmth.
The
plan
is
to
have
a
program
manager,
but
please
also
understand
that
you
know
folks
are
accustomed
to
me
to
my
face,
but
there's
nothing
about
this,
that
I'm
doing
on
my
own
and
as
I'm
also
simultaneously
telling
you
about
our
overall
leadership.
D
It
is
also
really
critical
for
me
that
that
that,
before
any
major
decisions
are
made,
that
I
really
want
the
south
side
community
center
leader
to
to
play
a
significant
role
in
that
as
well.
But
we
are
working
diligently
to
have
you
know
the
frameworks
there
and
ready
be
a
part
of
that
decision
making.
But
we
know
that
even
overall
in
the
community,
the
value
of
what
we
do
moving
forward
will
be
central
to
to
leadership.
D
D
I
I'm
saying
all
this
to
say
that
I
feel
like
we
have
the
potential
to
attract
funds
to
to
you
know
you
know
not
only
south
side
community
center
but
to
ribs,
to
ithaca
and
and-
and
you
know
with
with
some
of
the
aspirations
and
the
talents
here
in
in
ithaca.
So
I
that's
me
being
grandiose,
but
I
think
I
still
think
that's
very
much
possible
and
then
on
a
local
level.
D
D
A
G
H
D
Well,
I
would
love
to
give
any
of
you
a
wide
open
invitation
to
join
that
journey
with
me.
In
fact,
I
am
sketching
out
a
meeting
with
the
leaders
of
the
major
taylor
chapter
before
january
13th
I'll
just
you
know,
if
you're
not
over
emailed
the
way,
I'm
over
emailed
I'll.
Stick
you
in
the
loop,
if
you're
interested
but
we're
brainstorming
and
I'm
excited
to
enroll
the
new
pastor.
Have
you
met
the
new
pastor?
His
name
is
pastor.
D
King
he's
this
young
brother
from
syracuse
haven't
met
him
yet
he's
working
a
phd
in
syracuse
and
I
am
so
comfortable
the
pastors
they
come
and
they
stay
like
from
friday
to
sunday.
So
when
he
came,
I
was
like.
Oh
what
days
are
you
here
and
he
was
like
no,
I
live
here.
We
were
like
what
so
we
haven't
given
him
a
proper
introduction,
I'm
going
to
make
that
a
part
of
the
kwanzaa.
D
You
know
update
on
suicides,
but
I'm
enrolling
him
in
the
conversation,
and
I
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
potential
with
this
and
his
name
is
glenn.
He
went
to
cornell,
I'm
free.
I
don't
have
his
last
name
on
me,
but
but
this
he
he
loves
ribs.
He
loves
biking
and
he's
a
part
of
a
culture
of
black
people
who
have
who
bike?
Who
have
this
these
these
expertise,
but
this
love
for
for
a
culture
of
that
has
a
history
that
I
didn't
even
know
about.
D
So
I'm
learning
a
lot
too,
but
that's
a
concrete
something
that
I
think
could
also
bring
a
lot
of
visibility.
I
know
it's
not
just
about
visibility,
but
just
taking
our
story
on
that
block,
you
know
to
to
a
whole
nother
level
I
get
cheesy
about
it.
I
was
a
little
girl
and
mama
scott
used
to
make
us
feel
the
ground
and
and
honor
the
greatness
of
the
story
of
the
block.
So
I'm
excited
that
they
reached
out.
C
Of
a
comment:
hey
dr
nia,
thank
you
for
the
update
and
I
echo
what
others
on
the
board
have
said
about
a
very
welcomed
update.
It's
it's
exciting
to
hear,
and
I
just
wanted
it's
more
of
a
comment,
dr
nier,
for
something
in
the
future
as
this
evolves
and
that's
that's.
Some
of
us
in
the
latino
civic
association
have
been
talking
about.
C
Look
like
kids
in
the
south
side
or
latinx,
and
but
we've
been
talking
about
bicycling
we've
been
talking
about
snowshoeing
we've
been
talking
about
skiing
we've
been
talking
about
indigenous
routes,
you
know
to
to
some
of
those
things
and
yet
that's
not
what
you
see
right.
That's
not
the
way
it's
associated,
when
in
fact
we
have
a
very
rich
heritage
right
of
of
the
outdoors.
So
there
we
were
talking
about
it's
very
embryonic,
like
workshops
and
that
kind
of
thing
where
you
know
your.
C
What
what
brought
this
up
and
with
with
ribs
is
and
south
side
is
your
dimension
of
the
ride.
Yes,
and
you
know,
because
there's
a
component
to
that-
that's
no
longer
urban
right
and
it's
almost
like
we're
always
within
this
urban
space
and
that's
how
we
see
it,
but
there's
so
many
levels
to
this
re-skilling,
but
claiming
the
outdoors
outside
of
the
urban
areas
you
know
and
getting
comfortable
with
that
and
changing
and
adding
some
more
imagery.
C
So,
dr
nia,
I
have
nothing
else
to
offer
than
that,
but
I
think
this
is
basically
you're.
Opening
up
a
space
where
this
conversation
can
be
have
can
have
another
pla
can
be
had
with
more
voices.
No,
we
can
take
this
somewhere
else
too.
You
know
so,
as
that
evolves.
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
connect
with
you
and
those
who
are
having
this
conversation
and
whoever
else
you
think
we
should
be
talking
with
about
how
we
can.
We
can
see
something
happen
here.
D
Definitely
eric
eric.
Thank
you
so
much
that
that's
so
real
with
biking.
You
got
me
thinking
we'll
connect
another
time,
but
you
got
me
thinking
about.
You
know
our
relationship
with
ymca.
I
was
just
on
the
phone
with
them
not
long
ago,
primitive
pursuits,
yeah
being
outdoors
and
that
connect
christa
nunez
and
the
farming
dynamics.
So
yes,
yes,
and
all
of
it,
but
as
it
relates
to
biking
in
that
trail.
D
As
I
mentioned,
affinity
groups
too,
like
with
tara
tara,
took
us
a
whole
bunch
of
us
out
biking
midnight,
a
bunch
of
teenage
black
girls,
a
couple
of
us
mamas,
we
biked
all
over
ithaca.
You
know
when
we
were
in
this
this
group.
We
talked
about
that
affinity
groups
like
workshops
or
rides
that
are
real.
You
know
specific
to
specific
groups
of
people
honoring
the
collective.
D
You
know,
but
just
this
being
specific
about,
what's
possible
in
that
space
while
conti
while
y'all
can
come
too
the
folks
that
have
benefited
from
that
space
to
still
access
it
and
tara
says
people
need
to
be
trained
because
of
the
realities
of
the
issues
and
circumstances
that
people
bring
to
the
space
more
knowledge
of
food
pantry.
She
talked
about
training
for
what's
it
called
the
narcon,
a
training
you
know
in
case
there
are
emergencies.
She
brought
up
cpr.
E
D
D
I
I
I
E
I
So
a
six-month
extension
again
because
of
the
the
impacts
of
covet
19.,
and
this
is
all
the
2019
funded
activities.
Of
course,
those
who
have
not
expended
their
fund
their
their
monies.
Yet
so
I'd
like
to
move
this
resolution
that
we
extend
the
deadline
for
our
2019
activities
for
six
months
to
june
30,
2021.
A
H
Yeah
just
a
quick
report
we
did
meet
in
december.
We
had
one
agenda
item,
which
was
to
review
a
kind
of
a
concept
plan.
The
second
concept
plan
we've
seen
now
for
inlet
island.
This
was
with
lincoln
morse
and
his
team
included
noah
demerist
and
the
argos
hotel,
and
it
was
attended
by
several
common
council
members,
including
laura
cynthia
and
george
mcgonigal,
were
there
as
well.
So
it
was
really
good
discussion.
Actually,
I'm
glad
we
only
had
one
agenda
item
because
we
could
really
kind
of
look
at
the
plan
in
detail.
H
It's
kind
of
a
bit
of
a
I
don't
know
quite
how
it
happens,
how
you
can
take
what
is
currently
a
parking
lot
that
has
certain
never
parking
spaces,
put
things
on
it
and
end
up
with
more
parking
spaces,
but
kudos
to
no
dem
rest
for
sort
of
figuring
that
out.
So
that
was
the
second
time
you
know
we
saw
steve
flash's
proposal
in
november
lincoln
morrison's
proposal
in
december.
H
The
deadline,
as
you
recall,
from
our
last
meeting
for
express
interest,
is
january
31st,
so
we'll
have
at
least
another
month
where
opportunities
for
other
developers
to
come
forward,
and
then
we
can
look
at
those
proposals,
sort
of
side
by
side
and
see
if
any
of
them
meet
criteria
that
both
the
agency
and
the
city
want
to
move
forward
with.
So
that's
it
from
that.
No
action
at
that
meeting.
H
Both,
I
believe,
certainly
while
certainly
both
maintain
public
access
to
the
extent
that
you
know.
On
the
west
side,
there
is
a
state
required
easement
that
runs
along
the
west
side
of
the
island,
all
the
way
up
to
the
point
by
boatyard
grill
right
so,
and
I,
and
both
of
them
have
indications
of
making
some
potential
improvements
along
there
and
both
of
them.
A
Chris,
just
just
add
a
little
bit
more
to
that,
because
I
think
the
developers
had
a
little
bit
of
confusion
on
this
as
well.
The
flood
control
channel
is
regulated
by
dec
and
the
the
canal
authority
controls
the
east
side
of
the
island.
So
there's
two
different
regulatory
agencies.
The
canal
corp,
has
historically
been
much
more
supportive
of
active
use
of
the
waterfront,
and
the
dec
has
been
much
more
supportive
of
protecting
the
flood
control
function,
particularly
avoiding
snag
hazards
on
the
flood
control
channel
side.
A
Of
course,
there's
also
the
other
competing
use
of
the
rowing
programs
on
that
side
as
well.
So
it's
a
it
is
a
tricky
thing
to
figure
out
exactly
how
best
to
take
advantage
of
those
wonderful
resources,
but
both
of
them
are
trying
to
explore
that.
I
think
neither
of
them
have
answered
the
question
about
who
would
pay
for
those
improvements
necessarily
yet
let
us
mention
devil's
in
the
details,
but
they're
both
exploring
how
to
expand
public
access
for
the
waterfront,
which
is,
I
think,
heartening,
about
these
proposals.
C
Just
on
that
on
that
subject,
not
so
much
the
activity
on
the
water,
but
you
know
I've
been
I
was
I
was
I've
been
on
the
agency's
when
we,
when
the
boatyard
grill
was
first
proposed.
So
I've
had
a
long
history
with
inlet
island
as
well
as
as
being
on
council
and
spearheading
some
rezoning
there
that
preceded
the
current
rezoning,
the
most
recent
rezoning
to
to
incentivize
density
there.
C
You
know
that,
and
I'm
just
talking
about
that
part
that
we,
the
state,
has
an
easement
on.
I'm
really
glad
carl
brought
this
up
about.
You
know
making
sure
that
the
public
has
access.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
de
facto
feel
like
that,
doesn't
feel
like
a
place.
I
should
be
walking
down.
It
feels
like
that's
part
of
the
article's
hotel,
because
they've
got
all
this
stuff
right
up
to
it.
F
I
think
it's
really
important.
I
agree
with
you.
I
was
just
thinking
that
about
you
know
it
feels
like
private
space
at
the
end
of
the
point
and
it
isn't-
and
I
know
it
isn't,
but
it
still
feels
that
way
and
other
people
who
don't
know
it
isn't
wouldn't
think
it
was
public.
I
was
thinking
about
little
discreet
signs.
H
And
it
did
get
into
the
yeah
sorry
tracy.
I
mean
in
this
particular
case
and
I've
experienced
the
same
thing
eric
of
going
to
that
point
running
and
then
going
at
another
time
a
year
or
another
time
of
day
and
then
suddenly
like
wait
a
minute.
I
I
assume-
and
I
didn't
even
know
all
the
history,
so
I
always
assumed
it
was
public.
But
then
I
was
like.
Is
it
public.
E
H
It's
also
like
it's
also.
You
know
this
is
also
about
connectivity
right.
So
the
connectivity
to
that
point
to
the
rest
of
the
waterfront
trail
is
unclear
right.
So
there
is
a
sign
believe
it
or
not,
that
actually
sort
of
indicates
that
it
sort
of
goes
there,
but
the
the
infrastructure
to
get
you
there
kind
of
starts
to
fall
apart
at
a
certain
point,
yeah.
E
H
Are
running
essentially
on
this
kind
of
state
easement
retaining
wall
right,
so
I
think
there's
some
opportunities
actually
in
this
project.
Now,
where
the
money
comes
from
as
nelson's
point,
you
know
for
better
signage,
better
infrastructure,
you
know,
as
you
want
walk
it's
also
like
you
go
across
in
front
of
island
right.
So
again,
it's
not
clear.
Like.
H
C
G
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
topic
and
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
if
you
you
may
recall,
there
was
a
proposal
last
year
to
the
hud
entitlement
program
from
city
parks.
That
pointed
out
that
there's
a
lot
of
parks
in
town
or
open
spaces
that
citizens
aren't
necessarily
aware
that
it's
public
space
and
the
proposal
would
have
increased
signage
in
those
areas
so
well.
G
H
G
G
And
I
think
that
also
from
input
that
I'd
received
from
citizens
in
the
area,
part
of
the
reason
that
these
spaces
aren't
understood
as
publix.
Well,
I
don't
think
this
pertains
to
how
the
inlet
is
right
now,
but
how
it
could
be
once
there's
housing
developed
as
you've
said,
is
that
if
it
has
the
type
of
landscaping
that
looks
like
something
that
belongs
to
a
homeowner
or
something
like
that.
People
are
going
to
be
hesitant
and
signage,
and
things
like
that
are
not
very
expensive,
and
that
would
be
a
good
public
benefit.
E
E
Maybe
the
boat
yard
is
like
over
programmed,
and
I
think
there
are
other
spaces
that
seem
like
foreboding,
particularly
near
and
along
the
waterfront
trail,
so
portal
taken
yeah
and
that
won't
be
just
be
our
body.
I
mean
the
board
of
public
works,
obviously,
and
the
planning
board
most
likely
will
have
oversight
over
that.
E
H
B
H
E
E
E
Well,
though,
golf
courses
did
better
than
normal,
apparently
that
you
know
people
are
trying
to
get
out
of
the
house.
This
is
one
thing
to
do
so,
hopefully,
2021
could
be
a
banner
year
for
us.
What
was
it?
Okay?
Thank
you,
yeah.
If
I
could
have
that
one
back,
I
think
I
would
open
the
course.
I
think.
E
G
So
welcome
to
the
diamond
grant
organizational
meeting.
This
is
our
yearly
sort
of
review
of,
or
look
ahead
at
what
will
be
happening
in
the
head
entitlement
program.
This
is
a
requirement
of
our
citizen
participation
plan
and
fulfills.
That
requirement
we're
not
expecting
a
lot
of
anything
new
in
the
year
ahead.
We
do
expect
that
the
hud
entitlement
program
will
be
funded
through
congress.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
information
about
like
will
it
be
more
will
be
less
we're.
G
We're,
anticipating
and
you'll,
see
on
the
second
page
of
the
overview
document
that
you
received
were
in
anticipating
level
funding,
so
all
told
with
the
cdbg
funds
that
we
get,
that
we're
anticipating
and
at
around
668
000.
That's
what
we
received
last
year
and
the
home
funding
at
just
under
hundred
thousand
dollars.
G
That
would
be
wonderful,
a
million
dollars
to
allocate
to
various
community
projects
where
we've
noted
the
cdbg
cv
on
here.
But,
of
course,
all
of
you
know
that
that
funding
must
be
utilized
for
projects
that
specifically
respond
to
prevent
or
address
in
any
way
cobit
19
the
transmission
and
the
impacts
of
cobit.
So
we
expect
that
we'll
be
able
to
fund
the
community.
G
There's
a
few
that
are
kind
of
winding
their
way
through
the
pipeline
or
may
have
gotten
stalled
a
little
bit
because
we're
getting
to
that
time
of
the
year
where
people
are
focused
on
doing
holiday
activities
for
their
beneficiaries
and
and
other
year-end
type
activities.
But
we
do
expect
some
additional
projects
to
come
through,
we'll
be
working
towards
the
goals
that
were
articulated
in
the
2019
consolidated
plan.
G
G
You've
also
received
in
your
packet
an
overview
of
the
anticipated
schedule
for
2021.
So
all
of
you
are
very
important
to
this
process.
The
you
know
in
your
committees
and
here
on
the
board,
so
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
via
email.
If
you
know
that
any
of
those
dates
won't
work
for
you.
That
would
be
a
great
time
for
us
to
be
able
to
rearrange
that
schedule
if
needed.
G
G
2020
funds
work
with
those.
So
it's
not
it's
not
an
automatic.
What's
the
word,
it's
not
there's
no
automatic
penalty
with
groups
who
have
not
spent
down
their
2020
2019
funds.
I
think
we
understand
that
the
pandemic,
you
know,
really
interrupted
business
at
all
levels,
but
I
I
have
also
let
them
know
that
this
would
be
a
time
that
they
should
be
able
to
be
prepared
to
talk
about
how
they
would
be
able
to.
G
I
think
that
we
could
definitely
expect
a
proposal
from
giac
regarding
the
gym
that
they
acquired
from
immaculate
conception,
that's
something
that
they
brought
forward
last
year
and
then
decided
to
to
wait
on
or
withdrew
the
application
and
leslie
said
that
you
know
this
this
year
of
needing
to
find
ways
to
provide
programming
and
social
distance
has
really
highlighted
for
them
the
need
to
get
the
gym
up
and
running.
So
that's
a
big
project
that
we
could
be
looking
forward
to
receiving
an
application
for.
G
I
would
expect
that
I
think
a
housing
authority
might
want
to
apply
for
a
phase
two
for
their
rad
program.
Inhs
has
some
projects
in
the
pipeline.
They
may
or
may
not
be
moving
forward
with
it
really
they're
they're
looking
at
right
now,
whether
or
not
they
would
do
small
repair,
since
they
still
have
funds
left.
So
that's
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
look
ahead
at
you
know
public
services,
or,
as
far
as
I
can
tell
we'll,
receive
a
number
of
proposals
for
public
services.
G
We
don't
expect
that
hud
will
waive
the
public
services
cap
as
they
did
in
the
mega
waiver
for
2020
funds.
So
that's
something
to
be
aware
of-
or
at
least
we
haven't
heard,
that
they're
going
to
do
that
yet,
but
speaking
of
the
mega
waiver,
that
is
still
in
effect,
which
means
that
we
are
planning
to
do
our
action
planning
process
exclusively
online
and
we
amended
the
action
plan
last
year
to
allow
I'm
sorry,
not
the
action
plan,
the
citizen
participation
plan
to
allow
for
that
through
july,
31st
of
2021.
G
So
we
will
do
that.
This
would
be
a
great
time
and
actually
I'm
about
to
reach
out
to
several
of
you
via
email.
But
this
is
a
great
time
where,
if
you
know
that
there
are
stakeholders
in
the
community
who
are
discussing
things
like
as
what
eric
brought
up
earlier
about
the
latino
civic
association
talking
about
ways
to
reclaim
the
outdoors,
if
there's
projects
that
are
being
discussed
among
different
groups
in
the
community,
it
would
be.
I
would
love
to
reach
out
to
folks,
since
I'm
not
we're.
G
A
Limiting
the
total
number
of
projects
as
eric
and
I
have
talked
on
a
regular
basis
with
the
cdbg
cv
funding.
We
have
an
extra
10
projects
where
we're
administering
and
writing
contracts
for
and
monitoring,
and
so
it's
now
even
more
important
that
we
don't
expand
the
number
beyond
kind
of
our
traditional
numbers
going
forward
in
2021,
because
it
it
we're
kind
of
reaching
a
capacity
level
administratively
and
contract
administration.
A
We
can,
if
you
know
so,
I'm
just
encouraging
you
to
pick
pick
good
projects
and
go
big.
Maybe
a
couple
of
them
would
ease
that
more
than
spreading
it
out
and
funding
every
single
application.
That
looks
good,
but
you
know
maybe
could
hold
out
for
another
year
and
we
could
fund
it
more
fully
in
a
future
year
than
do
a
partial
funding
in
many
many
projects.
A
E
C
C
You
know
that
that's
feasible
and
so
I'll
I'll
respond
to
your
email.
Anissa
with
you
know,
invitations
I'll
talk.
We
have
a
meeting.
The
community
leaders
of
color
group
has
a
meeting
today
at
noon
and
and
I'll
ask
about
having
you
there.
You
know
for
one
of
our
meetings,
but
it
may
be
worth
maybe
looking
at
the
list
of
the
groups.
C
G
G
But
I
do
think
that
the
zoom
environment
for
those
folks
who
can
access
it
makes
going
to
meetings
easier.
You
know
you
don't
have
to
necessarily
well.
Let
me
amend
that.
I
mean
for
people
who
have
been
spending
all
day
at
work
and
helping
their
kids
online.
I'm
not
trying
to
say
it's
super
desirable,
but
I
do
mean
that
I
think
it
has
the
potential
to
involve
people
in
a
way
from
their
own
homes.
G
That
hasn't
existed
before
for
the
hud
entitlement
program,
and
I
think
that
is
a
great
potential,
and
so
I'm
really
happy
to
hear
the
suggestion
from
you,
because
it's
not
something
that
I
thought
of
and
I
think
that
if
it's
been
a
successful
model
that
can
be
really
great
for
hearing
for
more
people
and
a
wider
variety
of
voices
for
this
program.
So
thank
you
and
again
to
everybody
on
the
board.
I
absolutely
what
eric
said.
G
I
think
can't
be
underlined
enough
that
oftentimes,
a
personal
connection
or
introduction
really
does
help
us
get
into
those
meetings,
because
I
think
the
hud
entitlement
program
is
not
super.
It's
you
know
the
name
itself.
It's
like
it
doesn't
say
what
it
is
like
super
clearly,
so
people
are
always
like
yeah.
I
don't
know
what
that
is,
so
I'm
not
sure
I'm
going
to
respond
to
this
email.
So
I
think
introductions
are
great.
E
Clear
to
folks
that
you
could
participate
on
zoom
via
your
phone,
either
through
the
app
or
just
by
dialing.
In
and
saying
you
know,
we
welcome
you
to
do
that.
Yes,
if
you
do
that,
that
has
helped
us,
especially
in
our
focus
groups:
okay,
any
oh
and
there's
so
many
people
who
like
texting
them.
The
invitation
is
better
than
emailing
them.
The
invitation
email
for
days,
but
around
the
funds
constantly
and.
H
Just
a
quick,
related
comment
and
I'll
try
to
find
it,
maybe
kind
of
circulate
it
around.
There
was
a
really
great
podcast.
I
listened
to
about
a
month
ago
with
the
digital,
the
minister
of
digital
democracy.
For
taiwan,
her
name
is
audrey
tang,
actually
their
name
audrey
tang.
Sorry
about
that
and
they've
just
been
doing
amazing
things
in
taiwan,
both
pre-pandemic
and
post-pandemic,
using
digital
ways
to
engage
the
citizenry
in
ways
that
seem
unimaginable
in
america
right
now.
H
It's
a
nature
of
discourse
on
social
media
and
so
on,
and
a
lot
of
it
is
about
these
kinds
of
things.
How
do
you
actually
get
people
engaging
in
really
productive
ways
that
are
low
effort
but
high
value
to
be
able
to
shape
decision
policy
et
cetera?
So
if
anyone's
interested
I'll
try
to
find
that
and
that
nelson
and
you
said
we
can
get
it
out.
F
E
F
E
A
Well,
this
item
didn't
go
through
a
committee,
so
this
is
part
of
the
green
street
garage
redevelopment
project
and
we've
had
some
success
in
in
progress
in
that
project.
Going
recently,
the
planning
economic
development
committee
unanimously
recommended
approval
of
the
disposition
and
development
agreement
for
the
east
side
of
the
garage.
That's
the
jeffrey,
rimland
ithaca
properties
component.
The
vasino
project
is
scheduled
to
come
to
the
planning
economic
development
committee
in
january,
and
so
it's
now
time
to
make
sure
we're
clearing
the
pathways
of
any
obstacles
towards
conveyance.
A
The
subdivision
has
been
approved
as
well
by
the
planning
board
to
create
three
lots
of
current
green
street
garage,
one
which
would
be
conveyed
to
jeffrey
rimland
and
his
development
team.
Another
one
would
be,
the
middle
section
would
be
conveyed
to
vecino
and
then
the
city
would
retain
the
third
of
the
western
portion
next
to
city
hall
in
that
regard,
so
this
resolution
tonight
is
about
clearing
one
of
those
other
legal
obstacles,
which
is
a
existing
leasehold
mortgage
on
the
green
street.
A
Garage
may
wonder
why
is
there
a
leasehold
mortgage
on
the
green
street
garage
in
the
first
place?
And
it's
really
directly
related
to
the
financing
structure
for
the
kyoga
garage
back
in
2003,
because
that
was
a
revenue
bond
rather
than
a
general
obligation
bond,
because
the
city
decided
that
it
would
be
a
better
structure
because
of
its
mixed
use
component
and
the
fact
that
the
city
wanted
to
have
a
fixed
not
to
exceed
price.
A
On
the
garage
we
pursued
a
different
structure
there,
which
involved
not-for-profit
revenue
bonds
problem
with
issuing
revenue
bonds
is
for
a
garage.
Is
it
doesn't
generate
enough
revenue
to
repay
the
bonds?
So
we
had
to
get
a
bank
to
issue
a
letter
of
credit
guaranteeing
repayment
of
those
bonds
and
the
bank
in
turn,
took
a
mortgage
on
the
facility
and
also
said
well,
that's
not
enough,
because
it
doesn't
make
enough
money
to
repay
the
bonds.
A
A
A
E
A
A
So
that's
going
to
be
moving
allocation,
that's
going
to
be
moving
and
inhs
has
several
homeowner
rehabs
that
have
moved
towards
a
point
where
we're
expecting
some
just
you
know
drawdowns
coming
soon.
They've
lined
up
some
projects
now
that
they
can.
They
got
a
chance
to
secure
some
clients
for
that
program,
so
I
think
we're
in
we're
working
in
pretty
good
order
on
on
most
projects.
But
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
let
me
know
answer
any
questions
about
any
three
of
these
reports.
E
E
Okay,
oh,
is
there
anything
I
need
to
report?
I
want
to
report.
Maybe
just
the
city
administration
committee
is
going
to
consider
tonight
a
resolution
in
favor
of
of
guaranteed
income,
a
federal
policy.
The
reason
for
that
resolution
is
to
put
us
into
consideration
for
a
grant
from
an
organization
called
the
mayor's
for
a
guaranteed
income.
E
E
E
B
Well,
thank
you
for
mentioning
the
mayor's
guaranteed
income.
I
have
a
couple
of
of
things
one
from
the
last
week,
pedc
meeting
nells
has
already
mentioned
that
pedc
voted
unanimously
approval
of
the
dda
for
the
east
section
of
green
street
garage
and
also
approved
iura's
recommendation
to
rescind
the
2006
preferred
developer
designation
for
inlet
island.
B
The
city
also
applied
for
a
grant,
and
this
has
been
reported
at
previous
iura
meetings.
Ithaca's
application
was
approved
from
the
funder.
We
don't
have
full
authority
to
release
all
the
information
yet,
but
we're
anticipating
that
information
will
be
made
public
shortly,
but
it
has
involved
a
total
of
10
communities
in
new
york,
state
ithaca
being
won,
we've
been
approved
for
funding
team
ithaca
and
our
goal
is
to
prevent
displacement.
B
The
proposal
that
we've
been
working
on
has
a
racial
equity
lens
that
is
central
to
this
work.
It's
required
by
the
funder
as
well
as
value
that
that
our
team
has
has
shared.
So
the
proposal
includes
six
different
strategies.
We
will
be
supporting
housing
hotline
monitoring
the
housing
eviction
court.
The
data
that
we
have
so
far
on
evictions
in
the
city
of
ithaca
has
been
helpful
in
forming
some
of
our
work,
but
there
hasn't
been
a
formal
monitoring
program,
and
so
this
grant
will
allow
that
better
collection
of
of
data.
B
B
The
grant
will
also
allow
supporting
tenant
education,
tenant
rights,
a
handbook
to
be
provided
a
website
to
be
developed
and
very
important,
we'll
provide
the
funding
to
support
adequate
staffing
when
this
grant
and
this
program
was
discussed
at
the
iura.
Previously
there
were
questions
about
who
would
where
the
program
would
be
housed,
and
there
were
numerous
conversations
about
that
human
services
coalition
of
tompkins
county
will
be
the
lead
agency.
B
Iura
will
be
involved.
Other
partners
include
cornell
university
law
school.
I
think
it
was
reported
that
cornell
law
school
began
a
tenant
practicum
in
the
fall.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
student
interest,
primarily
law
students,
but
there
are
also
some
undergraduates
who've
been
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
practicum.
B
Their
partners
in
the
ithaca
program
include
law,
new
york,
national
lawyers,
guild
chapter
at
cornell,
ithaca
housing,
hotline
and
tenant
education
partners,
and
there
may
be
a
number
of
partners
that
some
of
those
details
are
still
being
worked
out.
So
in
terms
of
the
deliverables
of
this
program
and
by
the
way,
the
grant
time
frame
is
an
18-month
time
frame,
so
it
will
begin
in
march
2021
and
run
for
for
18
months,
during
which
time
the
deliverables
of
representing
55
tenants
who
may
be
facing
eviction.
B
B
In
the
hopes
that
the
incoming
federal
administration
will
be
able
to
extend
that
even
further,
but
at
the
moment
there
is
an
eviction
moratorium,
that's
been
extended
for,
for
one
month
our
ithaca
grant
proposal
or
grant
funding
it's
it's
beyond
proposal.
We
are
receiving
funding.
The
exact
amount
will
be
shared
when
there
is
a
press
release
and
the
funder
has
given
us
the
go
go-ahead
to
be
more
transparent
with
all
of
this
information,
but
it
will
allow
the
creation
of
a
tenant
rights
handbook
for
distribution.
B
The
direct
cash
benefit
to
tenants
the
housing
stability
supplement.
We
anticipate
being
able
to
provide
funding
of,
as
I
mentioned
300
a
month
to
50
households
and
the
monitoring
of
the
creation
of
the
eviction
database
is
going
to
be
really
central
to
the
work.
Not
only
the
work
during
the
18
months
of
this
grant,
but
will
be
helpful
going
forward
beyond
that.
B
For
tenants
greater
support,
tangible
support
for
tenants,
we
know
that
tenants
facing
eviction
court
are
rarely
represented,
rarely
have
legal
representation,
and
this
will
change
that
power
dynamic
as
well.
So
it's
a
very
exciting
grant
that
will
allow
our
city
to
have
a
real
impact
on
tenants
on
people
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
and
who
have
been
over
a
number
of
years
been
displaced
from
this
from
the
city
of
ithaca,
and
we
would
like
very
much
to
stop
that
displacement
from
occurring
in
the
future.
F
G
One
thing
that
would
be
wonderful
in
addition
to
the
additional
funds
if
mgi
decides
to
support
our
plan,
is
that
mgi
is
very
invested
in
evaluating
each
of
the
jour
each
mgm,
each
guaranteed
basic
income
project
that
happens
in
the
various
communities
it
supports,
and
so
this
would
come
with
funds
for
evaluation
from
the
center,
I
believe,
is
called
the
center
for
the
research
of
guaranteed
basic
income
at
the
university
of
pennsylvania,
which
we
as
a
collective.
The
group
that's
been
working
on.
G
G
All
of
them
will
be
funded.
One
of
them
will
not
be
funded
at
the
amount
requested,
because
the
funder
is
requesting
of
all
jurisdictions
who
participated
to
their
they're,
giving
jurisdictions
the
option
to
go
through
another
learning
process
and
develop
a
policy
focused
piece
with
a
portion
of
the
funds
that
were
originally
available.
That
makes
sense
so
they're
reserving
us
amount
out
of
it.
Oh
I
get
it
and.
B
B
But
we
do
know
at
the
moment
that
314
thousand
dollars
is
identified
for
the
housing
stability
supplement
and
there
it
is,
and,
as
anissa
mentioned,
the
possibility
of
greater
funds
for
that
and
the
funder
that
we
have
been
working
with
is
very
interested
in
there
being
matching
funds,
and
so
it's
interested
in
matching
fun.
So
it
is
really
great
that
the
mgi
program
is
coming
forward.
B
A
Yeah
a
couple
of
quick
items
I
think
one
is.
I
wanted
to
follow
up
a
little
bit.
Anissa
refer
to
the
cdbg
cd
funding
and
we
had
talked
about
kind
of
a
hybrid
model
of
first
working
with
the
city's
budget,
to
figure
out
how
to
allocate
some
funds
in
the
city
budget
and
then,
if
there's
remaining
funds
to
make
them
available
to
general
public
or
to
target
particular
areas
to
go,
seek
out
proposals
from
and
so
in.
A
The
city
budgets
now
adopted
and
it
does
incorporate
240
thousand
dollars
of
cdbg
cv
funds
as
a
revenue
source,
and
the
idea
that
we're
pursuing
is
in
bringing
back
to
the
ira
in
january
is
to
formalize
the
use
of
those
funds
to
be
for
the
community
outreach
worker
program
at
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
and
giac
youth
programming
at
175
thousand
dollars.
So
we'll
be
bringing
some
proposals
back
to
the
neighborhood
investment
committee
for
review
on
those
we're
working
with
leslie
to
figure
out.
You
know
we
want
to
build.
A
We
have
to
build
it
as
a
project
activity.
Just
like
you
would
normally
see
in
the
ira,
so
we'll
be
targeting
a
category
of
their
activities
at
gex
that
could
be
documented
as
meeting
cdbg
requirements
and
pulling
out
good
verifiable
cost
documentation
to
justify
that.
So
that
leaves
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
left,
which
anissa
alluded
to
would
be
available
through
this
competitive
process.
Unless
we
want
to
identify
identify
activities
to
focus
it
on.
There
are
a
couple
of
issues
that
denise
is
working
on
in
that
area.
A
Some
that
are,
maybe
you
will
be
funded
through
alternative
sources
and
and
some
that
have
received
alternative
source
funding.
So
you
know
anissa
can
keep
the
ni
committee
updated
on
that
it's
kind
of
a
moving
target,
but
there
is
a
active
interest
in
trying
to
address
the
lack
of
public
restrooms
in
the
greater
downtown
and
west
state
street
corridor.
Still
that's
still
an
ongoing
issue.
The
one
the
west
state
street
project
is
no
longer
seeking
funding
from
the
cdbg,
but
there
is
downtown
interest
in
in
that.
A
A
They
also
don't
want
to
wait
until
september
when
the
funding
is
available
because
they'll
have
to
start
paying
carrying
costs
on
that
property
in
january.
So
what
we're
exploring
with
them
again,
this
would
be
coming
to
the
ni
committee
would
be
the
idea
of
a
pre-award
notice,
which
would
which
would
give
them
the
authority
to
expend
funds
at
their
own
risk
that
the
project
would
be
included
in
the
action
plan.
And
so
this
would
be.
It
wouldn't
be
a
guarantee.
A
They
still
would
not
have
access
to
the
funding
until
hud
makes
the
monies
available
to
the
city,
but
it
would
be
a
way
for
give
them
some
guarantee
that
if
they
follow
through
on
the
project,
they
would
be
included
in
the
action
plan.
So
it
would
take
a
formal
vote
of
both
the
ira
and
the
common
council
to
move
that
forward.
But
they,
the
important
piece
on
that
is
to
even
be
eligible
to
have
to
finish.
The
environmental
review
on
on
the
project.
A
Federal
law
prohibits
any
choice:
limiting
actions
such
as
acquisition
of
property
prior
towards
completing
the
environmental
review.
So
anissa's
going
to
be
looking
at
the
environmental
review
on
that
to
keep
our
options
open
so
expect
to
be
bringing
something
forward
to
the
ni
committee
in
january
on
that
one
as
well
just
to
give
you
an
update
that
may
be
coming
forward
and
then
finally
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
I
remind
you
of
the
new
york
state
minimum
wage
change
at
the
end
of
the
year.
A
In
10
days,
the
minimum
wage
will
move
from
11
and
80
cents
to
12
and
50
cents,
so
we're
slowly
getting
closer
and
closer
to
15
or
closer
to
a
living
wage
in
in
the
in
the
minimum
wage
new
york's,
much
more
progressive
than
many
other
states,
but
not
the
most
progressive
as
it
comes
to
minimum
wage.
But
it's
a
nice
increase
of
70
cents
up
to
12
50
starting
on
january
1st.
So
that's
all.
I
have.
F
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
have
less
available
money
in
the
cdbg
category
this
year.
If
we're
funding
the
city
part-
and
I
agree
with
funding
the
city
part,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
really
careful
about
raising
expectations
and
hopes
for
people
applying
for
this
money.
We
usually
have
a
lot
of
interest
in
a
lot
of
competition
and
it's
important
to
let
them
know
that
it's
tight,
very,
very
tight.
G
G
But
that
has
been
something
that
I've
been
discussing
with
groups,
because
exactly
for
the
reason
that
you
mentioned
there's
a
lot
of
priorities
this
year.
There's
a
lot
of
need
out
there,
and
I've
also
tried
to.
Let
groups
know
that,
like
traditionally
come
forward
for
like
kind
of
refunding
something
that
a
regular,
an
activity
that
they
do
every
year,
that
this
might
be
a
very
difficult
year
for
that
for
the
committee,
because
there's
so
many
emergency
needs
that
are
out
there.
That
cdbg
can
also
vote.
