B
Thank
you
and
apologies
for
the
delay
and
welcome
to
the
December
2022
planning,
an
economic
development
committee
meeting.
B
We
are
without
a
chair
at
the
moment,
so
I've
been
asked
to
chair
this
meeting.
I'll,
let
you
know
who's
in
the
room.
Cynthia
Brock,
representing
the
First
Ward
Patrick
mailer,
representing
the
fourth
ward
Rob
Gerhart,
is
sharing
tonight.
I
represent
the
Third
Ward
and
joining
us
remotely
is
Phoebe
Brown
representing
the
second
ward.
We
also
have
our
Council
colleague
ducks
and
wind
with
us
from
the
second
award
and
mayor
Laura.
B
Lewis
is
here:
I
will
read
this
mandatory
emergency
evacuation
notice
to
for
those
of
us
who
are
in
the
room
in
case
of
an
emergency
evacuation.
We
are
to
take
one
of
two
exits
here
or
here
and
wait
out
on
Cuba
Street
at
the
Green
Street
intersection
stay.
There
do
not
cross
the
road,
those
with
restrictive
mobility
in
the
event
of
an
emergency.
It
is
best
to
move
to
one
of
the
stairwells
and
First
Responders
will
arrive
to
Aid
you
in
the
event
of
other
emergencies.
B
You
will
be
notified
at
that
time.
We
want
everyone
to
be
aware
of
their
surroundings
and
offer
help
when
it
is
not
to
your
own
detriment,
as
you
are
your
own
best
advocate.
So
thank
you,
okay,
so
or
quarreling
the
meeting
to
order
and
we'll
start
with
our
special
order
of
business.
We
have
two
public
hearings
tonight.
B
Maybe
I
can
have
a
motion
to
open
the
first
public
hearing
Patrick.
Thank
you
and
Cynthia
seconds.
Thank
you,
and
this
is
a
proposed
amendment
to
chapter
8
of
the
city
code
to
add
the
establishment
of
a
city
commission.
Do
we
have
anyone?
B
Oh
sorry,
we
got
a
vote
on
opening
the
public
hearing.
Thank
you
and
we're
in
for
that
it
goes
Phoebe.
Did
you
vote
too
I'm?
Sorry,
I
missed
that?
Yes,
there's
four!
Okay!
So
do
we
have
anyone
to
speak
for
the
public
hearing?
Nobody.
A
B
So
we're
gonna
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing
by
Patrick
second
by
Cynthia,
all
those
in
favor
and
that's
unanimously,
closes
okay.
So
let's
then
go
to
the
second
public
hearing
a
motion
to
open
that
public
hearing
Patrick
second
Cynthia,
all
those
in
favor
of
opening
the
second
public
hearing.
Thank
you.
This
is
on
the
order
of
the
Restore
New
York
Grant
application.
B
Here
I
think
someone
is
here
to
speak
later
when
we
talk
about
the
vote,
when
we
do
the
vote,
not
the
public
hearing,
okay,
so
we're
gonna
then
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing,
thank
you,
Patrick
second
Cynthia
and
all
those
in
favor
and
that
closes
the
public
hearing.
Thank
you.
B
B
Do
have
one
card
from
a
member
of
the
audience
Teresa
Alt,
and
why
don't
you
come
up
Theresa?
Thank
you.
C
I'm
Theresa
alt
of
206
Eddie
Street
in
college
town
and
I
have
thoughts
on
two
very
well
they're,
not
entirely
disparate
things.
One
is
the
tides
proposal.
I
see
there
will
be
a
brief
report.
C
Recently.
I
have
been
hearing
about
the
home
together,
Tompkins
proposal
that
comes
out
of
the
Human
Service
Commission
and
not
a
coalition
I'm.
Sorry,
Human,
Service,
Coalition
Continuum
of
Care
and
seems
to
be
based
on
a
lot
of
experience
around
the
country.
I
think
it
takes
the
best
of
the
ties
proposal.
E
A
C
Much
suggest
that
everybody
pay
attention
to
it.
It
has
been
considerably
talked
about
both
in
the
county
meeting
and
the
from
the
Human
Services
Coalition,
but
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
ctac
earlier
today.
C
The
Ida
and
they
were
discussing
132
Cherry
gluten
as
it
seems
to
be
referred
to
132
Cherry
Street
right
near
sicil,
Malone
road,
which
is
really
going
to
the
street
and
I.
Guess:
that's
why
the
Clinton
gets
in
there.
It's
also
called
the
Hive.
You
have
about
a
minute
left.
Okay,.
F
C
C
C
G
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Zach
Nguyen
I
live
here
in
the
city
and
I'd
like
to
turn
your
attention
to
some
pictures.
I
asked
the
clerk
to
forward
there's
a
Str.
There
was
a
Structure
by
the
Brinley
Street
bridge
that
burned
down
several
weeks
ago,
and
the
site
is
still
spoiled
and
active
and
I'd
like
to
encourage
action
on
the
tithes
proposal.
G
Having
a
designated
encampment
would
imply,
there
would
be
areas
that
were
off
limits
and
there
is
also
a
large
encampment
by
the
train
tracks
near
another
camp
that
burned
in
the
stress
between
Brinley
and
Cecil
Malone,
Drive
I,
believe
this
issue
has
been
trapped
in
committees,
which
has
served
as
a
justification
for
inaction
and
encampments
have
spread
well
beyond
the
city,
and
the
county
is
waiting
for
the
city
to
act.
This
will
require
a
coordinated
response.
G
Other
similar
plans
have
proven
to
be
spectacular.
Failures,
I
asked
clerk
forward
a
link
to
a
similar
project
that
devolved
into
the
issues
I
just
discussed,
but
something
must
be
done,
and
without
enforcement,
though
this
Tides
encampment
will
only
serve
to
exacerbate
the
problem
and
I
hope.
The
plan
has
site
remediation
and
access
roads
included
as
aspects
of
The
Proposal.
So
with
that
said,
I
will
yield
the
remainder
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
do
we
have
an
opportunity
for
a
response
from
anyone
you
do
that
here.
Right,
yes,
okay,
have
any
anyone
have
any
comments
from
our
body.
Yeah.
C
I
want
to
thank
our
speakers
today.
I
do
agree
with
Teresa
alt
I
think
that
the
ctap
program
has
served
its
purpose,
which,
as
she
mentioned,
was
to
help
us
recover
from
the
2008
recession,
but
I
do
strongly
believe
as
I.
Believe
then,
that
the
market
value
in
terms
of
housing
for
our
community
is
very
well
known.
C
There
is
very
little
risk
of
of
any
new
housing
going
unfilled
and,
in
fact,
the
the
rates
and
rents
that
people
can
bring
in
by
developing
housing
in
the
city
is
incredibly
attractive.
So
there's
very
little
Financial
Risk,
in
my
view,
to
any
developer
seeking
to
build
in
the
city.
I
think
that
the
development
will
come
even
without
the
ctrap
program
would
be.
The
perfect
example
of
this
is
the
college
town
Terrace,
which
brought
in
extensive
development
with
zero
tax
abatements
provided
every
time
we
add
a
property
to
the
tax
abatement
program.
C
We
actually
shrink
our
tax
base
because
we
remove
it
from
our
tax
base.
Even
though
we
we
do
see
a
percentage
of
the
taxes
that
we
would
have
received.
Otherwise,
it
still
transfers
a
lot
of
the
burden
to
our
remaining
taxpayers,
especially
as
the
demands
for
services
on
housing
is
immediate
as
soon
as
those
properties
are
aren't
propelled.
So
I
I
would
also
like
to
see
that
the
program
come
join
on
to
Zach's
questions
and
concerns.
C
B
B
There
we
go
okay,
great
thanks,
so
why
don't
we
move
on
to
our
next
item?
Then
there's
no
other
comments
and
that
will
be
an
update
from
Lisa
on
the
unsanctioned
encampments
and
the
working
group.
That's
talking
about
thank.
C
You
Rob,
and
there
are
two
other
members
of
the
working
group
here
tonight-
Cynthia
and
Faith.
So
if
I
miss
anything,
please
chime
in
since
our
the
last
planning
committee
meeting
the
last
update
I
gave,
the
working
group
has
met
twice
the
first
time
in
early
December.
We
did
see
the
presentation
that
Teresa
referenced
from
the
Continuum
of
Care
for
the
housing,
the
housing
presentation.
It
was
excellent.
C
We
also
were
joined
by
Michelle
Carver
from
the
U.S
interagency
on
homelessness,
who
gave
us
a
presentation
on
the
seven
principles
of
resolving
encampments
and
we
are
continuing
to
discuss
how
those
two
proposals
align
and
work
with
the
policies
that
we're
trying
to
develop
in
the
city.
We
did
have
a
follow-up
meeting
last
week
and
we
talked
about
when
we
learned
at
this
meeting
at
Mike.
Florin
DPW
staff
have
gone
around
to
all
the
encampments
and
looked
at
them,
and
most
of
them
are
empty.
C
Now,
except
for
a
few
and
assess
the
condition
and
come.
We
did
talk
about
cleanups.
We
haven't,
there's
many
obstacles
to
cleaning
them
up,
one
of
which
is
what
what
happens
after.
We
clean
them
up,
but
we
are
in
conversations
about
them
and
we'll
have
to
talk
about.
You
know
who
would
do
the
cleanup
how
how
it
will
be
funded?
Can
DPW
staff
do
it?
C
There
are
safety
issues
with
doing
a
cleanup,
so
we
are
talking
about
it
understand
that
it
is
a
urgent
need
and
we
will
be
continuing
to
discuss
that
and
bringing
it
forward
with.
Also
also,
we
will
continue
to
meet
in
the
new
year
and
we
expect
to
have
a
draft
policy
to
the
mayor,
as
is
the
charge
of
the
working
group
by
probably
mid
February.
C
And
obviously,
the
in
on
sanctioned
encampments
are
in
the
First,
Ward
and
so
I
I
hear
and
get
to
see
every
day
of,
what's
going
on
there
and
I
share
the
my
constituents
concerns
with
regards
to
the
trash
and
the
impact
on
not
only
the
the
community
but
also
the
environment
and
the
water,
which
obviously
I
care
very
much
about
I,
do
recognize
through
first-hand
experience
that
with
any
cleanup
of
a
space,
you
also
really
need
to
have
in
place
some
kind
of
Maintenance
or
management
of
that
site
to
protect
it.
C
I
have
personally
engaged
in
several
cleanups
only
to
almost
immediately
have
the
site
reoccupied
again
and
damaged
immediately,
so
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
working
group
and
everyone
who's
been
brainstorming
and
how
to
wrap
around
how
we
address
these
sites,
even
after
they're
cleaned
up
to
make
sure
that
we
can
both
serve
the
residents
both
housed
and
unhoused
residents,
as
well
as
the
environment
I
mean
the
Watershed.
F
H
Okay,
my
question
is,
when
you
say
so,
the
cleanup
is
going
to
need
Cynthia
expressed
how
they've
cleaned
up
previously
and
right
away.
It's
damn
it's
it's
messed
up
again.
Who
are
you
considering
keeping
it
well
pretty
much
monitoring
it
was
that
discussed.
C
Yeah
I
think
we're
talking
about
the
need
for
it,
but
have
fallen
short
on
identifying
how
that
would
be
done
and
what
the
best
way
to
do
that
would
be,
and
I
think
everybody
agrees
that,
in
conjunction
with
a
cleanup
as
Cynthia
said
and
I,
think
this
is
what
you're
referring
to
people.
We
need
a
plan
or
a
policy
for
what
to
do
after
something
has
been
cleaned
up
in
order
to
keep
it
clean.
C
I'll
just
end
by
saying,
I
think
it's
very
important
for
people
who
want
to
volunteer
and
I've
really
applaud
everyone
who
offers
to
help,
but
I
very
much.
Advise
that
any
type
of
work
that
we
do.
We
always
work
hand
in
hand
with
Outreach
workers
who
know
the
community
well,
who
plans
it
out.
B
Any
other
questions:
okay!
Well,
thank
you
again
for
the
update
and
I
guess
we'll
now
move
into
our
voting
items.
B
Just
as
a
point
of
order,
so
we
do.
We
need
to
do
the
lead
agency
and
negative
declaration
first
before
we
do
later.
You
can
do
that
first
and.
B
So
why
don't
we
do
that?
So
this
is
a
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
municipal
code
of
the
city
of
Ithaca
in
that
section
that
outlines
our
advisory
commissions,
and
this
would
allow
us
to
add
a
fifth
advisory
commission
with
a
specific
focus
on
sustainability
and
climate
Justice.
B
So
let
me
just
move
this
that
declares
common
Council
as
lead
agency
in
this
matter.
B
I
got
a
second
from
Cynthia,
and
why
don't
we
just
vote
on
this
and
then
we
can
move
through
the
negative
declaration
and
then
have
the
discussion
around
the
evidence
itself.
Okay,.
A
B
Yeah
I
think
Lisa
would
like
us
to
do
a
role
quote
for
this,
so
it's
been
moved
and
well
now.
C
B
Okay,
that's
unanimous!
Thank
you,
okay,
so
now
we're
going
to
move
to
move
to
that
we
declare
this
has
a
negative
declaration
and
I'll
just
read
the
results
result
of
the
common
Council
as
lead
agency
in
this
matter,
hereby
adopts
as
its
own.
The
findings
and
conclusions
we're
fully
set
forth.
B
The
full
environmental
assessment
form
dated
in
August
before
the
resolved
at
the
common
council's
lead
agency
in
this
matter,
hereby
determined
that
they
propose
action
at
issue
will
not
have
a
significant
effect
on
the
environment
and
that
further
environmental
review
is.
B
And
be
it
further
resolved
that
this
resolution
constitutes
and
constitutes
notice
of
this
negative
declaration,
and
that
the
city
clerk
is
hereby
directed
to
file
a
copy
of
the
same
together
with
any
attachments
in
the
city
clerk's
office
and
forwarded
the
same
to
any
other
parties,
as
requested
by
law?
Patrick
will
second,
thank
you
and
another
roll
call
did.
C
B
C
D
B
Hi-
and
that
is
unanimous
so
now,
let's
go
to
the
ordinance
itself,
which
I
have
to
scroll
back
up.
For
give
me
a
second,
so
this
is
ordinance
to
amend.
B
Chapter
eight
The
Advisory
commission
is
part
one
of
our
city
code,
who
established
a
sustainability
and
climate
Justice
Commission,
whereas
the
city
has
demonstrated
its
desired
commitment
to
be
a
leader
in
sustainability
and
social
Equity,
as
exemplified
by
the
adoption
of
the
Ithaca
Green
New
Deal
in
June
of
2019
and
whereas
the
eighth
degree
New
Deal,
set
out
specific
climate
and
social
justice
goals
and
whereas
common
Council
subsequently
funded
two
positions,
a
director
of
sustainability
and
a
sustainability
planner
to
lay
out
a
strategic
plan
and
to
coordinate
across
departments
and
community-wide
meet
the
stated
goals,
and
where
is
sustainability?
B
Staff
working
in
coordination
with
other
staff
and
Department
have
and
will
continue
to
bring
forward
policies,
plans
and
other
proposals
that
may
impact
City
operations,
Staffing
Urban,
Design,
Capital
budgeting
and
existing
programs
in
other
areas,
and
whereas
a
dedicated,
Advisory
Group
is
needed
to
support
this
work.
To
provide
the
guidance
of
subject
area
experts,
coordinate
public
Outreach
and
information
nation
and
advise
counsel,
I,
think
that
should
be
advised
Council
and
other
bodies
on
the
impact
of
proposed
initiatives.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
or
names
in
a
DAC
and
enacted
by
the
common
Council
and
I'll.
B
And
we
do
have
you
know
we
have
input
from
people
who
have
been
were
involved
in
some
of
the
establishment
of
the
commissions
in
case.
That's
helpful,
of
course,
I
sat
on
that
working
group,
but
both
Lisa
and
I
have
talked
with
Deb
manohoff
recently
about
it
as
well
kisses
and
anything
that
can
be
helpful.
There.
C
So
at
our
last
discussion
about
this,
there
was
going
to
be
exploration
about
folding
this
into
an
existing
commission,
rather
than
creating
a
new
commission,
and
the
memo
seems
to
imply
that's
still
being
considered
so.
A
C
So
we
did
look
at
the
charges
of
the
commissions
and
to
see
if
you
could
rebalance
them
so
to
speak,
and
I
did
speak
with
Deb
about
it,
Deb
mullenhoff
about
it
and
after
looking
at
they
have
a
lot
of
charges.
All
each
of
them
have
a
lot
of
subject
areas
there
they
are
responsible
for
so
in
the
end,
after
looking
at
it
and
talking
it
through
with
Devin
hop
decided
that
the
best
way
to
move
that
was
to
have
a
commission
that
was
just
solely
designated
for
sustainability
and
social
justice.
H
C
Incidentally,
Deb
reminded
me
that
at
the
beginning,
the
original
proposal
was
for
five
commissions,
one
of
which
was
sustainability,
maybe,
but.
A
I'm
all
for
this,
but
I
am
curious.
It's,
shame,
rabbit
left,
but
I'm
curious.
What
the
where
we
are
in
the
commissions
restart
process,
because
it's
a.
C
I
can't
necessarily
speak
to
where
we
are
in
the
whole
process,
but
I
I
am
clipping
and
I
have
spoken
to
the
mayor
about
this
and
demol
huff
as
well
that
we
could
bring
forward
this
commission
and
staff
it
get
it
up
and
running
ahead
of
reorganizing
the
other
commissions
and
even
using
it
as
a
way
to
because
we
have
a
very
clear
charge
for
this
commission,
and
we
know
we,
it
will
be.
A
And
do
you
know
if
tell
us
if
the
with
the
where
the
position
was
what
the
volunteer
coordinator
I
think
is
what
learned.
F
So
we
changed
that
position
to
Encompass
the
Deputy
city
clerk
position
as
of
right
now
and
as
it
stands
today
that
it
still
holds
true,
so
those
that
person
will
be
charged
with
the
duties
that
would
have
gone
under
that
commission's
position
and
it
because
we
were
going
to
put
that
in
the
clerk's
office
too.
So
it
just
kind
of
made
sense
that
we
put
that
q9,
but
that
that
maybe.
F
Yes,
I
know
that's
the
answer,
so
we
we
have
received
applications,
we've
collected
them
all,
they
ended
on
Monday
and
so
we're
going.
Shelley,
Michelle,
nunna
and
I
are
going
through
them
and
we
will
pick
you
know,
maybe
four
or
five
people
and
then
we'll
put
them
forward
for
the
interview
process
and
there
will
be
a
committee.
H
Okay,
my
question
is:
how
is
this
so
Louise
did
a
whole
lot
of
work
right,
and
how
is
this
comparative
to
the
work
he's
already
done,
or
is
this
going
to
be
something
new
because
I'm
I'm
feeling
a
little
kind
of
like
if
all
that
work,
that
Luis
has
done
already?
H
What
what
what's
going
to
happen
with
all
the
work
that
he's
already
done,
because
he's
done
a
lot
of
work,
he's
done
a
lot
of
Outreach
he's
done
a
lot
of
work
so
far,
and
so
when
you
talk
about
putting
this
commission
together,
is
that
what
you
called
it
yes
are,
because
there
are
people
he
already
connected
with.
Are
these
the
people
that
you're
talking
about
all.
C
B
C
You
Phoebe
first
I'll
just
take
it
backwards
and
first
your
first
question
your
or
your
last
question
was:
would
the
people
that
he
worked
Louise
worked
with
then
Rebecca
continues
to
work
with
be
be
on
this
commission?
We
will
we're
back
in
I.
C
Will
work
together
to
develop
a
list
of
people
who
have
are
interested
have
been
involved,
want
to
be
involved
and
I'm
sure
that
will
include
many
many
people
who
have
been
involved
up
to
this
point
and
have
worked
with
Luis
and
continued
to
work
with
Rebecca.
So
that
is
the
answer
to
the
first
question
in
terms
of
the
relationship
to
the
work
of
the
director
of
sustainability
and
and
the
sustainability
planner
and
the
work
that
Rebecca
continues
on
it.
C
Is
it
in
no
way
replaces
it
or
or
it
is
it
just
supports
it,
because
normally
when
we
have
a
big
initiative,
there
is
a
committee
that
helps
to
gather
public
input
before
it
comes
to
council
for
a
vote,
or
you
know,
debates
debates,
you
know,
merits
and
and
looks
at
every
proposal,
so
it
would
be
basically
a
group
of
people
that
would
do
that
and
Garner
public
input.
C
You
know
critically
look
at
any
proposal
before
it
came
to
council
and
then
they
would
report
that
information
to
council.
What
did
the
public
say?
What
is
our
opinion
about
it?
So
it
isn't,
it
doesn't
doesn't
in
any
way
minimize
the
role
of
the
director
of
sustainability.
It
just
supports
it
as
it
moves
through
an
approval
process.
C
Luis
and
I
discussed
this
many
times
that
there
was
a
need
for
a
commit
commission
or
committee
to
support
the
work
of
sustainability
and
Rebecca
and
I
continue
to
talk
about
it
and
just
support
there.
It
would
support
the
work
of
sustainability.
B
Any
other
this
is
an
informal
step,
but
I
do
have
a
question
about
this
topic
of
desolator
apps.
Well,
you
know
at
this
point
in
the
meeting
we
normally
don't
engage,
but
I
know
that
you've
been
part
of
commissions
in
the
past.
Is
it
related
to
that?
It's.
E
B
B
Sooner
than
maybe
we
need
to
bring
the
other
commissions
back
online
and
if
we
could
use
this
in
a
way
to
help
test
out
some
things
like
one
of
the
things
we
I
think
we
struggled
with
mightily
in
the
creation
of
the
initial
advisory
commissions,
was
in
a
streamlined
way
to
bring
in
volunteers
to
the
commissions
and
identify
people
who
would
be
chairing
those
and
then
as
people
cycled
off
or
had
to
leave,
for
other
reasons,
finding
replacements
for
those.
B
So
if
we
could
pilot
away
to
streamline
how
we
engage
volunteers
around
the
advisory
commissions,
I
would
value
that
if
we
ensured
that
it
was
one
that
could
scale
to
all
the
commissions
when
we're
able
to
get
them
back.
Online
I
also
believe
and
I
wish.
Someone
like
Ari
were
here,
maybe
to
confirm
this,
but
maybe
Lisa
knows
I
believe
that
there's
nothing
precluding
us
from
establishing
a
fifth
commission
and
then,
as
we
do
more
work,
to
rebalance
the
existing
commissions
deciding
that
we
don't
need
five
and
we
can
reduce
to
four
again.
B
So
that's
another
possibility,
I
think
down
the
road,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
this
is
driven
by
the
urgency
because,
as
we
remember,
when
we
establish
these
advisory
commissions,
we
had
not
yet
faced
our
work
around
the
Ithaca
Green
New
Deal.
We
were
sticking
sustainability,
related
activities
inside
one
of
the
other
commissions
and
loaded
it
with
a
lot
of
other
activities.
B
So
since
then,
we've
made
this
commitment
and
it's
a
pretty
significant
commitment
and
it
I
think
to
Lisa's
Point
probably
requires
the
focus
that
this
commission
would
bring,
and
I
and
I'll,
just
maybe
to
touch
on
a
question
that
Phoebe
asked.
B
The
structure
of
the
commission
seems
to
work
well
for
this
particular
advisory
group.
I'll.
Call
it
because
it
the
commissions,
require
that
we
have
nine
members,
seven
of
which
must
be
city
of
Ithaca
residents,
but
it
also
gives
the
flexibility
to
have
committees
that
kind
of
hang
off
of
The
Advisory
commissions
that
allow
for
other
expertise.
That
may
not
be
able
to
be
garnered
by
the
requirement
of
seven
City
residents
to
supplement
that.
So
that's
maybe
one
way
we
can
address
some
of
the
concerns
and
I
don't
know.
B
If
anyone
wants
to
address
the
point
about
how
this
initiative
has
defined
social
justice.
That
would
be
a
great
thing
if
Rebecca
were
here,
maybe
she
would
be
able
to
articulate
that,
but
at
least
I
don't
know
if
you
haven't.
C
A
C
You
recall
several
months
ago,
you
adopted
a
definition
of
called
The
Justice,
50
definition,
which
was
a
different
and
a
more
nuanced
way
to
look
at
how
to
analyze
how
basically,
how
to
analyze
Who
who,
how
to
analyze
the
benefits
of
how
to
equitably,
distribute
the
benefits
of
the
green
New
Deal
and
also
how
to
identify
in
a
more
nuanced
way,
people
who
needed
that
to
have
needed
the
I
needed
to
be
considered
for
more
equitable
distribution.
So
you
know
it
wasn't
just
income,
it
was
a
bunch
of
other
factors.
C
A
C
Agree
that
the
importance
for
this
is
getting
it
started
is
is
a
priority
that
said,
you
know,
all
of
the
commissions
actually
have
priority
work
and
again
some
of
them
are
mandated
To
Us
by
the
state
right,
so
conservation,
Advisory
Group,
you
know,
provides
input
on
the
environmental
review
for
development
projects
right
and
they
have
not
been
able
to
do
that.
Work.
C
The
community,
Advisory
Group,
would
be
absolutely
relevant
to
this
next
topic
that
we
have
on
the
agenda
having
to
do
with
remediation
of
contaminated
sites,
and
they
would
be
active
in
being
that
liaison
or
that
Outreach
between
the
community
and
projects
that
is
also
mandated
by
the
state
and
they
have
not
been
able
to
to
meet
either
so
I
recognize
the
priority
for
this,
but
the
priority
actually
equally
held
by
the
other
commissions
as
well
and
I
I
have
heard
consistently
from
many
advisor
group
members
or
or
previous
commission
members
as
well
most
vehemently
from
members
of
the
Board
of
Public
Works
saying:
where
are
we
in
opening
this
back
up
and
I?
B
Do
we
want
to
give
Rebecca
that
opportunity?
Where
is.
I
Hi
I
just
happened
to
be
watching
on
YouTube
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
repeat
the
question,
there's
a
lag
on
YouTube,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
far
behind
I
am.
In
the
conversation,
foreign.
B
That
was
related
to
the
the
climate
Justice
piece
of
the
the
title
of
the
commission
and
what
that,
how
how
that's
being
defined,
Lisa
attempted
I
think
did
a
nice
job
of
trying
to
remind
us
of
the
work
that
we're
we've
done
to
make
some
definitions
around
this.
But
we
thought
you
could
add
some
more
to
that.
I
Sure
so
you
know
by
definition,
sustainability
is
that
sort
of
intricate
balance
between
economic,
social
and
environmental
issues,
but
calling
justice
out
by
name
is
really
critical
because
oftentimes
the
social
justice
piece
of
that
gets
kind
of
tacked
on
at
the
end
or
oftentimes
overlooked
entirely.
So
as
I,
it
sounds
like
Lisa
already
mentioned:
common
Council
Define
climate
Justice
communities
back
in
May,
which
identified
specific
households
and
populations
that
are
particularly
vulnerable,
given
the
existing
economic
and
social
landscape.
I
Here
in
Ithaca,
the
Justice
50
piece,
which
is
the
kind
of
the
next
step
in
the
climate.
Justice
efforts
around
the
renew
deal
would
give
specific
indicators
as
to
how
we
are
benefiting
those
communities
through
the
green
New
Deal.
The
way
that
the
green
New
Deal
resolution
was
written.
I
Initially,
it
said
that
it
needs
to
address
historic
inequities
that
are
present
in
the
city
and
kind
of
the
the
vision
that
has
been
behind
Justice
fish
50,
thus
far
has
been
that
50
percent
of
the
benefits
of
the
green
New
Deal
need
to
be
shared
among
or
need
to
be
dispersed
to
climate
Justice
communities,
which
was
that
definition
that
we
passed
in
May.
I
So
it's
you
know,
there's
the
social
justice
piece
which
I
think
is
an
umbrella
term
and
climate
Justice
would
be,
would
fall
underneath
that
umbrella,
but
it
is
really
about
building
Community
wealth
and
mitigating
environmental
impacts.
Health
impacts
that
are
exacerbated
by
the
environment,
pretty
much
anything
where
climate
change
would
act
as
a
threat
multiplier.
So
anything
that
would
get
worse
because
of
climate
change,
think,
like
asthma
rates
or
dilapidated
housing,
that
would
you
know,
suffer
under
increased
humidity,
et
cetera
Etc.
I
That
would
be
considered
climate
Justice.
In
this
case,
however,
there
has
not
yet
been
an
explicit
definition
of
what
that
means
in
relation
to
the
green
New
Deal.
Frankly,
because
we
haven't
needed
it
yet.
But
if
that's
something
that
is
of
interest-
and
you
know
actually
defining
what
that
means-
I'm
happy
to
do
some
work
on
that
foreign.
A
A
quick
question:
thank
you,
Phoebe
for
reminding
me
so
Luis
had
convened
this
Community
advisory
award
also
called
the
steering
committee,
and
so
is
that
a
dissolved
now
or
will
that
be
dissolved
when
the
sustainable
commission
is.
C
There
was
it
wasn't
a
I,
don't
know
what
the
status
of
the
that
particular
committee
was
as
I
mean
Rebecca
can
add
in,
but
I
don't
think
it.
Oh,
you
were
on
it,
so
I
don't
think
it
met
in
any
regular
way,
and
it
wasn't
necessarily
a
formal
committee.
It
wasn't
so
I
think
members
of
equity
will
certainly
be
invited
to
be
part
of
this.
A
Yeah
it
was
semi-wrinkle
I,
don't
remember
if
it
was
aesthetic
kittens
but
you're
right.
It
was
kind
of
formed
outside
the
formation
process.
Okay,.
H
Yes,
I
think
yes,
I
wanted
to
comment
on
when
we
talk
about
climate
justice,
social
justice,
I,
think
what
I
didn't
hear
pretty
much
mentioned
was
that,
most
of
the
time
when
situations
are
bad
like
climate,
all
these
different
things,
it's
always
worse
for
communities
that
are
are
less
fortunate
right
and
so
somewhere
in
there.
I
didn't
hear
that
pretty
much
mentioned
when
we
talk
about
social
justice.
So
that
is
why
I
mentioned
Luis,
because
a
lot
of
his
work
was
making
sure
that
we
remember
that
peace.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
Phoebe
I
think
Rebecca
did
touch
on
that
a
little
bit,
but
I
I,
don't
know
if
there's
anything
more.
She
wants
to
add
to
that.
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
much
I
have
to
add.
I
I
will
say
that
this
is
what
my
background
is
in.
My
academic
and
research
background
is
on
environmental
policies
and
how
they
affect
different
populations
differently
and
Luis
gave
me
a
lot
of
freedom
to
run
with
the
social
justice
piece
of
the
green
New,
Deal
I.
Think
because
he
trusted
me
to
do
it
and
because
I
do
have
a
lot
of
experience
in
doing
that.
I
So
you
know
I
I,
definitely
miss
Louise
miss
working
with
Luis,
but
I
I
just
want
to
provide
any
sort
of
assurance
that
I
can
that
I
have
not
lost
that
vision
of
using
a
lens
of
Justice
to
do
all
of
the
work
of
the
green
New
Deal.
C
Just
wanted
to
thank
you
thank
you
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
Rebecca
has
been
an
integral
part
of
everything
that
came
out
of
the
green
New
Deal
from
quite
early
on.
So
whatever
you
can
attribute
to
the
director.
The
former
directory
Rebecca
was
also
part
of
that.
B
But
if
I
could
add
one
other
point
because
I
think
Cynthia
brings
up
brings
up
a
good
point
about
the
priorities
among
the
different
commissions
and
the
urgency
of
bringing
those
back.
B
You
know
I,
think
you
know
that
one
of
the
challenges
we
had
in
the
rollout
of
the
commissions
in
the
first
part
was
the
Staffing
elements,
and
so
we
we
were
hoping
to
address
that
with
this
new
position.
Without
that
position
in
place,
I
know.
The
commitment
here
is
that
the
planning
department
will
be
Staffing
this
initial
commission,
but
it
may
be
that
there'll
be
opportunities.
B
Thank
you,
I,
don't
know
if
the
mayor
has
anything
to
add
on
that,
but
otherwise
we'll
okay,
so
we
ready
to
vote
okay,
roll
call
again
right.
B
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
our
next
voting
item,
this
is
the
maybe
someone
else
would
take
a
turn
at
moving.
D
100
million
around
six
applications
due
October
11th
this
year,
150
million
around
seven
applications
due
January
27th
next
year,
and
whereas
the
goals
of
the
store,
New
York
program
are
to
one
revitalized,
Urban
centers
to
induce
commercial
investment
and
three
improval
local
housing
stock
and
whereas
Restore

is
available
only
for
projects
involving
the
demolition,
deconstruction,
Rehabilitation
and
or
reconstruction
that
they
can
abandoned,
condemned
or
Surplus
properties.
And
whereas
municipalities
with
populations

000
are
eligible
to
submit
one
project
not
to
exceed
a
request
for
two
million
dollars
in
each
funding
round.
D
Certification
of
the
application
would
be
a
further
resolve
that
the
mayor
is
authorized
to
modify
the
proposal
to
address
any
unforeseen
feasibility
issues.
That
would
impact
competitiveness
of
the
application
and
resolve
that,
if
awarded
the
mayor
upon
advice
from
the
city
attorney
is
hereby
authorized
to
execute

receive
the
necessary

granted,
as
well
as
agreements
for
the

ownership
of
another
project.
Then
we
further
resolved

herely
authorized
to
administer
and
implement
the
cities
restored.

C
You're
very
exciting
part
about
this
project
is
after
10
years
of
work.
We
have
actually
closed
on
the
project
as
of
last
Thursday
of
December
acceptance,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
this
restorative
Grant
will
be
the
Catalyst
for
moving
this
project
forward.
We've
picked
a
small
portion
of
the
project
as
a
way
to
get
started
through
the
Restore
New
York
funding
and
a
necessary
part
of
the
remediation
Building
24
and
the
demolition
of
10A
11a
and
the
sky
Bridge.
C
C
So,
yes,
I'm
enthusiastically
in
support
of
this
I'm,
happy
to
see
this
move
forward
and
I
appreciate
that
you're
looking
at
Building
24
in
the
adjacent
buildings,
which
of
course
are
closest
to
the
residents
on
on
South
Hill,
would
make
a
very
clear
indication
to
everyone
that
that
this
is
moving
forward
and
that
all
due
care
has
been
given
to
remediate
the
property
and
the
buildings
and
I'm
happy
to
support
this
application.

don't
want

So
we
do
this
every
year,
whereas
six
nycrr
part
617
of
the
State
Environmental
Quality
review
law
in
chapter
176.6
of
the

state
environmental

and
whereas
state

specifies
that
for
actions
governed
by
local
environmental

The
lead
agency
shall
be
that
local
agency,
which
has
primary
responsibility
for
approving
and
funding
or
carrying
out
the
action.
C
And
whereas
state
law
also
specifies
that
when
an

composes

directly
undertake
fund
or
approve

C
And
whereas

and
approval
at
times
involved
approvals
or
funding
from

are
provided
with

as
well
as
all

and
whereas
common
council
did
consent
to
the
planning
and
development
board
acting
as
lead
agency
and
environmental
review
for
site
plan
review.
C
Projects
with
comic
console
has
been
identified
as
an
involved
agency
since
2015.
and
whereas
in
Baltimore,
in
order
to
avoid
delays
in
establishing
a
lead
agency
and
to
make
the
environmental
review
process
more
efficient.
It
is
desirous
to
continue
the
agreement
which
the

will
assume
leave
agency
status
to
such
projects.
C
Now,
therefore,
be

does
hereby
consent
to

Acting

lead
agency
in

projects
for
which
common
Council
has
been
identified
as
an
involved
agency
through
December
31st

and
be
it
further
resolved
that
for
any
future
project,
common
Council
May
withhold
or
withdraw
its
consent,
should
it
so
desire
and
why
so?
What.
B
And
we
have
a
second
from
Patrick.
Thank
you.
Both.
We
also
have
Nikki
here
to
answer
any
questions
we
have
on
this
thing
that
we
do
every
year,
but
it
does
give
us
an
opportunity
to
meet
Nikki
because
you're
fairly
recently
joined
the
city.
If
I
remember
correctly,.
C
A
C
Identification
of
the
public
if
projects
come
up,
you
do
send
emails
to
all
involved
parties
as
well
as
Council,
so
Council
does
have
a
chance
early
in
the
process
to
revoke
and
retain
its
right
to
declare
itself
lead
to
agency.
So
for
those
going
through
all
of
those
emails,
definitely
keeping
an
eye
out
is
is
worth
it,
but
I
don't
know
that.
We've
never
seen
that
at
any
point.
A
A
C
F
A
C
That
you
give
us
that
you
get
to
play
the
work
to
will
be
being
put
into
the
environmental
review
on
the
answer
there
and
addressed.
Yes,
I
have
exercised
that.
H
H
C
B
Okay
and
I
think
the
last
thing
we
have
oh
yeah,
because
the
minutes-
and
we
have
two
sets
of
minutes
both
October
and
November.
Okay,
receive
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
