UM, WE'RE REQUESTING A SLIGHT INCREASE IN OUR BUDGETS THIS YEAR.
UH, WE UNDERSTAND THE POSITION THAT THE TOWN IS IN.
UH, WE'RE KIND OF IN A SITUATION, UH, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR FUNDING COMES FROM FUNDRAISING YEAR TO DATE.
WE'RE DOWN RIGHT NOW, $88,346 FROM LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME DUE TO OUR BINGO, OUR PULL TABS, UH, AND VARIOUS OTHER FUNDRAISERS THAT WE DO OUT THE YEAR.
WE'VE TAKEN SEVERAL MEASURES, UH, CUT BACK ON EXPENDITURES.
WE HAD THE, UH, ELECTRIC COMPANY COMING AT THE END OF THE, THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND RECOMMEND CHANGING OVER TO THE LEDS.
I BELIEVE THE THE TOWN'S LOOKING AT THAT ALSO.
WE, UH, WE'RE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF, UH, $9,000 IN CHANGE FOR THEM TO DO THAT.
WE TOOK UPON OURSELVES TO TAKE CARE OF IT OURSELVES TO SAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
WE'VE RUN A COUPLE OF, UH, DRIVE CREEK FUNDRAISERS, BUT THAT'S PRETTY, PRETTY MUCH ALL WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE REQUESTING A FLIGHT INCREASE TO OFFSET OUR SIGNIFICANT LOSSES.
ARMOR IS, IS HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR 70 PLUS YEARS OF, OF DOING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUNDRAISING TO TRY TO SAVE THE TAXPAYERS HAMBURG FROM HAVING THE PONY UP FOR, FOR ACCESS.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER.
I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS DO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT IN, IN, UH, FUNDRAISING.
CAN THE REMAINING FIRE COMPANIES ACTUALLY COME TO THE MICROPHONE TO SPEAK? BECAUSE WE ARE LIVE STREAMING THIS AS WELL.
BOARD MEMBERS, ANYBODY WANT TO ASK QUESTIONS ON THE ARMOR PRESENTATION? WHAT'S THE ANNUAL AVERAGE THAT YOU COLLECT JUST THROUGH THE FUNDRAISING EFFORT? UH, WE'RE GENERALLY CLOSE TO, UH, A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR THAT WE DO IN FUNDRAISING THROUGH VARIOUS FUNDRAISERS.
AND YOU'RE ABOUT 88,000 SHORT THIS YEAR OWING TO THE PANDEMIC
[00:10:01]
AND YEAH, $88,346 AND 64 CENTS COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR.OKAY, JASON, WELL, WE'LL GO, UH, I'LL BE GIVING YOU A CALL.

UH, I'VE GOT YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION IN MY OFFICE, SO WE APPRECIATE IT.
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? NO, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TODAY.
UH, NEXT ON THE ALPHABETICAL LIST HERE IS BIGTREE.
CAN YOU MOVE DOWN TO THE MICROPHONE? THE BIGTREE REPRESENTATIVE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HOW YOU DOING? GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? OKAY.
HI, MY NAME'S ROBERT STILL, PRESIDENT OF THE BIG TREE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY.
UM, WE'RE ASKING, UH, FOR A 2% INCREASE FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE SAME POSITION AS EVERYBODY ELSE.
UH, THIS PANDEMIC HAS KIND OF PUT US IN, IN A BIT OF A FINANCIAL THING, BUT WE UNDERSTAND WITH, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT'S GOING ON THROUGH THE TOWN.
SO, UM, THE 2% THAT WE WOULD ASK FOR IS FOR THE ONGOING, UH, EXPENSES THAT WE'VE CURR THROUGH THIS CVID 19.
LIKE EVERY OTHER FIRE NUMBER, UM, WE'VE TRIED TO DO WITH FUNDRAISERS.
UH, WE WERE A LITTLE BIT SUCCESSFUL ON A FEW OF THEM, BUT MOST OF 'EM HAD TO BE CANCELED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.
UM, OUR TWICE A YEAR WHEAT RAFFLE HAD TO BE CANCELED.
WE'VE RUN CHICKEN BARBECUE TEAMS TO TRY TO RAISE SOME FUNDS.
UM, I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE THOSE EXACT NUMBERS FOR YOU TODAY.
UM, BUT WE GREATLY APPRECIATED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE 2%.
UM, LIKE I SAID, THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS IS THE UN CURR TOWARDS THE UNFORESEEN EXPENSES OF THE, UH, PANDEMIC WITH EXTRA EQUIPMENT THAT WE'VE HAD TO BUY.
AND WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR AGING EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO REPLACE WITHIN THE NEXT, UH, YEAR OR SO.
ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOB, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I, I SHOULD SAY, UH, WERE YOU ABLE AT ALL TO NETWORK WITH SEAN CROTTY ON ANY CARES ACT REIMBURSEMENTS FOR COVID RELATED EXPENSES? UH, FROM THE INFORMATION, I WASN'T GIVEN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT.
OR WHEN THE PROJECT WAS, OR WHEN THE NUMBERS WERE DUE.
UM, BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, WE WERE ONLY GIVEN LIKE A, A DAY'S NOTICE OF WHEN STUFF WAS, UH, WAS DUE TO HANDLE THOSE EXPENSES AND OH, OKAY.
PUT FORWARD THOSE EXPENSES, SO, YEAH.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I, I'LL I'LL REACH OUT TO YOU BETWEEN NOW AND THE 16TH AND WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.
UM, I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS NOW, BUT IF YOU COULD POSSIBLY JUST GET 'EM TO US IN TERMS OF FUNDRAISING, WHAT THE AVERAGE ANNUAL IS, RIGHT.
UM, THAT AND WHERE YOU ARE HERE TO DATE, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
I CAN HAVE THAT BEFORE THE SIX.
AND JUST TO AVOID ME ASKING IT THE, ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE TIMES, IF, IF ALL THE REPRESENTATIVES COULD ANSWER JUST THOSE TWO QUESTIONS, AND IF YOU CAN'T, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE NUMBERS OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, UM, THAT'S FINE.
UM, AT YOUR CONVENIENCE WOULD BE GREAT.
HOW ABOUT LAKE SHORE? SORRY, GUYS FROM LAKE SHORE.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF LAKESHORE AND AT THIS TIME WE ASKED FOR A 0% INCREASE.
UH, WE'VE BEEN MEETING EVERY MONTH WITH OUR BUDGET COMMITTEE, AND WE FEEL WE CAN MAKE IT LAST.
THIS YEAR WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PURCHASING A NEW TRUCK.
THEY'RE REPLACING TWO 24-YEAR-OLD TRUCKS THAT WE BOUGHT FOR 400,000, 24 YEARS AGO.
SO IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA PURCHASE IN 2022 OR 2021? NO, WE ALREADY, IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
IT STARTED BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
WITH OUR, WE HAVE A FUN DRIVE THAT WE TAKES CARE.
IT'S, IT'S BEEN TOUGH BECAUSE AS THE BOARD MEMBERS CAN VERIFY THIS YEAR, UH, WE'RE DOWN, WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA BE DOWN BEFORE THE YEAR'S OVER ON SALES TAX BY FOUR OR 500,000.
THAT'S AN ESTIMATION THAT'S FAIRLY SOLID.
OUR VIDEO LOTTERY TERMINAL MONEY HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 20%.
THAT'S THE DLT ON THE, ON THE HAMBURG CASINO.
WE'RE LOOKING TO LOSE ABOUT 57,000 IN AIM FUNDING FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SO THE ONLY SALVATION IS THAT CONGRESS MAY IN TIME PASS, UH, ANOTHER ROUND OF, UH, RELIEF FOR STATES, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE STATES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, WHICH WOULD ENABLE US TO, UH, COME
[00:15:01]
UP AND ADDRESS OUR BUDGET SHORTFALL.BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION AND ALL THAT YOU DO FOR US.
HOW ABOUT, I SAW MR. WICKER HERE FROM LAKEVIEW.
HOW YOU DOING, SIR? HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.
I'M CLARK AND SECRETARY OF BOARD.
UM, WE HAVE PUT IN A REQUEST FOR NO INCREASE FOR, FOR 2021.
WE HAVE REALIZED THE SITUATION THAT THE TOMMY HAMBURGERS IN.
UM, WE ALSO ARE LOOKING AT OUR OWN OPERATION, THE IMPACT THAT ANY INCREASES COULD HAVE ON OUR, ON OUR, OUR TAXPAYERS.
OUR, UH, OVERALL DISTRICT BUDGET IS GOING TO RISE LESS THAN TWO 10 TO 1%.
UM, WHAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED IN THIS LAST YEAR, AND IT'S GONNA IMPACT US GOING FORWARD, IS THAT, UH, BEING A EMS PARAMEDIC UNIT AT ONE TIME, WE COULD ABLE, WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE, UH, DRUGS AND MEDS THROUGH SUPPLIERS WITHOUT HAVING TO BULK PURCHASING.
AND OUR FRIENDS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE CHANGED IT.
NOW WE HAVE TO PURCHASE THINGS, WE HAVE TO DO THAT IN BULK PURCHASING.
WE'RE CONCERNED WITH THAT BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF SUPPLIES WE HAVE TO PURCHASE COULD POTENTIALLY, UM, EXPIRE BEFORE THEY'RE OFF, BEFORE IT'S DONE.
EVERYTHING IS, WE'RE TAKING DELIVERY OF NEW AMBULANCE THIS, UH, THIS COMING MONTH, $290,000, TOP OF THE TOP OF THE LINE STEERING AREA UNIT.
SO WE ARE, WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
LATE THIS SUMMER, EXCUSE ME, WE, UH, TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A GRANDCHILDREN INTERNATIONAL GRID.
WE HAD ALL OUR LIGHTING AND OUR MAIN FIRE STAGE CONVERTED TO LED.
WE AN ANTICIPATE THE SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS OF THAT.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A WHOLESALE ISSUES, TRYING TO KEEP OUR COSTS DOWN, UM, KNOWING WHAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS THE, THE STATE IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN? ANYBODY? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
UH, NOW NEWTON, ABBOTT, ANYBODY FROM NEWTON ABBOTT? OKAY, GOOD EVENING.
BOARD MEMBERS, CHARLIE MINUTE, CHIEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
UH, WE REQUESTED 0% INCREASE FOR THE 2021 YEAR.
UM, WE FELT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO SAVE SOME FUNDING THIS YEAR BY REDUCING OUR SPENDING COSTS.
UM, HOWEVER, THE FOLLOWING YEAR WE MAY SEE A SLIGHT INCREASE DUE TO UPGRADING SOME, UH, EQUIPMENT TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR OUR MEMBERS.
UM, SO AT THIS TIME, WE'RE ASKING FOR A 0% DEGREES FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR.
I KNOW HOW TOUGH IT IS TO MAKE A, A BUCK STRETCH NO MATTER WHERE WE'RE STRETCHING IT.
ANYTHING BOARD MEMBERS FOR CHARLIE? OKAY.
HOW ABOUT SCRAP? WE GOOD? GOOD EVENING.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.
I'M THE PRESIDENT OF SCRAN FIRE COMPANY.
UM, THANKS FOR HAVING US TONIGHT.
UM, FOR 2021, WE REQUESTED A 0% INCREASE, UH, IN OUR OPERATING BUDGET.
WE UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURES THAT EVERYONE IS UNDER, UM, ON THE HOME FRONT AND THEN CERTAINLY SITTING WHERE YOU GUYS DO.
UM, IT'S GONNA BE A, A CHALLENGE.
UM, WE'VE BEEN RELATIVELY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A NUMBER OF DRIVE THROUGH CHICKEN BARBECUES THIS YEAR TO KIND OF OFFSET SOME OF THE LOSSES.
WE'RE PROBABLY STILL BEHIND ON OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISING.
UM, WE'VE ALSO DONE THE LED LIGHTING, MUCH LIKE THE REST OF THE COMPANIES, UH, IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS TO TRY AND SAVE SOME MONEY.
WE'VE ALSO PUT OFF A COUPLE OF, UH, LARGE PURCHASES FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO.
ONE BEING A NEW LADDER TRUCK, ANOTHER BEING SOME WORK WE'RE GONNA HAVE DONE AT THE STATION.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN, UM, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS AND ASSIST THE TALENT WITH, WITH THEIR MEANS AND THE RESIDENCE MEANS AS WELL.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN, UH, WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO GET THERE.
[00:20:01]
QUESTIONS FOR MIKE? UH, LISTEN, I KNOW THAT, UH, WHAT I MISSED THIS SUMMER WAS YOUR BIG EVENT WITH THE AN WITH THE, UH, ANTIQUE CARS AND ALL THAT.WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE A COUPLE MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE THERE AT THAT.
YOU HAD ABOUT FOUR OR 500 PEOPLE THERE.
SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR.
I CAN'T SAY THAT WE'LL BE MUCH BIGGER UNLESS WE TAKE OVER PRETTY MUCH ALL OF SCRANTON
UM, BUT WE'RE GONNA DO OUR BEST TO GET BACK AT IT, SO.
UH, HOW ABOUT THE VILLAGE OF HAMBURG? ANYBODY HERE FROM THE VILLAGE? OH, HERE WE ARE NICK, MR. SHAW
THANKS FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
UM, JUST LIKE THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF ECHO, YOU KNOW, WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF, UH, NOT ONLY THE TOWN, YOU KNOW, BUT THE, THE COMMUNITY AND, UM, AT THE HOME ALSO.
UM, BEFORE THE PANDEMIC STARTED, UH, WE STARTED THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A NEW LADDER TRUCK OR AN AERIAL, UM, PERHAPS SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECES OF EQUIPMENT, UH, THAT OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS, UM, OVER A MILLION DOLLARS TO PURCHASE ONE OF THOSE.
UM, AS WELL, WE'RE ALSO DOWN ON OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS.
UM, YEAR TO DATE, WE'RE ABOUT, UH, $50,000, UH, SHORT OF WHERE WE WOULD NORMALLY BE ABOUT THIS TIME THIS YEAR.
UM, HERE TO DATE, WE NORMALLY BRING IN, UM, JUST OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THROUGHOUT THE
SO, UH, RIGHT NOW WE'RE ABOUT HALF HALFWAY, UH, AT A LOSS.
UM, YOU KNOW, AS, AS BEING PART OF THE TOWN LINE CONTRACT.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE A SMALLER PORTION, UM, OF THE OVERALL FUNDING.
UM, BUT I, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION THAT, UH, FOR EVERY CALL THAT WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR AND THE LAST FEW YEARS AS WELL, UM, WE'VE HAD A, EITHER A CHIEF OR AN APPARATUS, UM, FROM OUR DEPARTMENT RESPOND WHEN THE CALL FOR HELP WAS NEEDED FROM OUR DEPARTMENT, UM, AS WELL AS ALSO THE VILLAGE.
WE'VE NEVER NOT HAD SOMEBODY HAD A CALL, UM, OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
UH, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD FOR MYSELF? I'M OKAY.
UH, NICK, HOW ABOUT YOU? BOARD MEMBERS? ANYBODY? THANK YOU SO MUCH, NICK.
WE'LL BE BACK IN TOUCH WITH YOU BEFORE THE 16TH, NICK.
AND LASTLY, WE'VE GOT WOODLAWN.
HOW YOU DOING? GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.
UH, MY NAME'S PAT NANNING, PRESIDENT OF WOODLAWN BALANCE FIRE COMPANY.
UH, WE'VE ASKED FOR ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 2% INCREASE.
UH, WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE TOWN AND IT, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND THE, UH, THE ISSUES AT HAND, UH, WE'RE FACING ON WHAT OUR HAUL MAINTENANCE, OUR INSURANCES THAT HAS WENT UP, UH, BESIDES OUR, UH, COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE FOUND OUT WE COULDN'T MEET FOR ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO, UH, DO BUSINESS.
SO WE, UH, OUR INCREASE IS BASICALLY FOR TECHNOLOGY AND STUFF LIKE THAT, SO WE CAN ACTUALLY DO THINGS LIKE THIS.
ANY ANY QUESTIONS FOR PAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN? OKAY, PAT, THANKS SO MUCH.
I, I GOT YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION.
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON YOUR REQUEST PRIOR TO THE 16TH.
ANYBODY ELSE ON BEHALF OF, UH, ANY OF THE COMPANIES, UH, THAT WOULD WISH TO SAY SOMETHING ON, ON THESE QUESTIONS? ANYONE ELSE? OKAY.
UH, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND THE BOARD SINCERELY APPRECIATES ALL THAT YOU DO FOR US.
AND, UH, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE SERVICES YOU'VE EXTENDED TO US, UH, AND THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT WE'VE MADE OVER THE YEARS.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST, UH, TO NOT ONLY BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU, BUT, UH, TO EXPLAIN OUR POSITION GOING FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO EACH COMPANY.
UH, WE'LL MAKE A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING WITH RESPECT TO, UH, THE FIRE, FIRE COMPANY BUDGETS FOR THE YEAR 2021.
SECOND BY MR. PETRI ON THE QUESTION.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SLIGHT DIGRESSION FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, AND I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO A WONDERFUL GUY WHO'S AN OUTSTANDING LAWYER AND LONGTIME FRIEND OF MINE WHO WANTS TO GIVE US A LITTLE SUMMARY ON THE MCKINLEY MALL.
RAY, DO YOU WANNA STEP UP TO THAT MICROPHONE THERE? IF YOU DON'T MIND? UH, THIS ON, ON MY, ON MY RIGHT RAY IS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER BETH FARRELL.
AND SEAN CONLEY, COUNCIL MEMBER
[00:25:01]
ON KAREN'S LEFT.GO AHEAD, RAY, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
AND, UM, THANK YOU WITH COMPLIMENTS.
UM, THE, UH, LAW, AS YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN IN FORECLOSURE SINCE 2018.
UM, THERE'S NOT BEEN A LOT OF PROGRESS AND IT'S NOT REALLY CLEAR WHY, UM, IT'S BEEN DELAYED OTHER THAN WE KNOW SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR, UH, COVID HAS IMPAIRED THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FORECLOSURE.
THERE HAVE BEEN A SERIES OF MORATORIUMS EXECUTIVE ORDERS, COURT ORDERS THAT HAVE, UM, ESSENTIALLY BROUGHT ALL FORECLOSURE ACTIONS TO A STAY WELL LAST WEEK THAT WAS LIFTED FINALLY, ALTHOUGH, UM, GOVERNOR CUOMO, I HATE TALKING WITH THESE THINGS.
I JUST HAVE TO REACH MY PHONE.
SO THIS MICROPHONE IS THE ONE THAT'S STREAMING, SO IT'S JUST A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO HEAR IT.
ALRIGHT, I'LL DO, HOPEFULLY WE GET IT.
SO, UM, SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A STILL AMBIGUITY 'CAUSE GOVERNOR CUOMO ISSUED ANOTHER EXECUTIVE ORDER, MOSTLY DESIGNED TO HOLD UP EVICTIONS, BUT THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE AND VERBIAGE IN THERE THAT ALSO REFERS TO FORECLOSURES.
SO IT'S NOT EXACTLY CLEAR, BUT THE COURT SYSTEM HAS NOT BROUGHT IS, IS RESUMING FORECLOSURE ACTIONS, ALBEIT NOT AT A VERY FAST PACE.
SO WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE TO DO, UM, AND I'VE REACHED OUT TO COUNSEL REPRESENTING THE MORTGAGE HOLDER THAT'S BASED OUTTA NEW YORK CITY, UM, TO SEE IF THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROCESS.
I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM.
UM, SO MY PLAN WOULD BE TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE JUDGE WHO'S PRESIDING OVER THE FORECLOSURE ACTION.
EXPLAINED THAT THE TOWN OF HAMBURG WANTS TO SEE THE FORECLOSURE COMPLETED IN RELATIVELY SHORT ORDER IN THE CONTEXT OF FORECLOSURE.
THIS, THAT COULD MEAN 4, 5, 6 MONTHS THOUGH, AND GET THE PROPERTY INTO THE HANDS OF AN OWNER, SOMEONE WHO'S GONNA DEVELOP IT, TAKE CARE OF IT, NOT LEAVE IT IN THIS STASIS SORT OF CONDITION WHERE IT'S GOING NOWHERE AND NOBODY'S GONNA MAKE INVESTMENT IN THIS PROPERTY, WELLS IN FORECLOSURE.
AND IT'S A CRITICAL ASSET TO THIS TOWN.
SO MY PLAN IS TO WRITE TO THE JUDGE, SAY, LOOK, THERE'S A COMMUNITY INTEREST HERE.
WHILE WE'RE NOT PARTY TO THE FORECLOSURE ACTION THAT THE CITIZENS, THE TOWN BOARD WANNA SEE THIS PROPERTY IN THE HANDS OF A RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPER AND OWNER.
I THINK THE JUDGE WILL IMPOSE A DEADLINE FOR THE MORTGAGE HOLDERS' COUNSEL TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS.
BY THE WAY, THE OWNERS OF THE HAM MALL AREN'T HOLDING THIS THING UP.
THEY'VE ACTUALLY STEPPED ASIDE.
SO IT'S REALLY THE, THE MORTGAGE HOLDING THE LENDER THAT'S NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROCESS.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE PLAN TO REACH OUT TO THE JUDGE, TELL HIM WE NEED TO GET THIS PROPERTY IN THE HANDS OF A NEW OWNER, RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPER SO IT COULD BECOME A VALUABLE AND VIABLE ASSET FOR THIS COMMUNITY.
RAY, MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION? UH, I GOT A CALL FROM, UH, A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE MORTGAGE HOLDER.
UH, AND HE INDICATED THAT PART OF THE REASON FOR THE DELAY WAS, UH, AN, AN ACTION INITIATED BY THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION.
CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT? WAS THAT, IS THAT A SIGNIFICANT IMPEDIMENT TO MOVING FORWARD? OR, OR NOT? NO, I, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
I SAW THAT IN THE DOCKET THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
THE DEC INTERVENED, I, THERE'S A, UH, A WATER, THERE'S EITHER A, A WATER PLANT OR A FALLS BEHIND THERE MM-HMM
THAT THE DC HAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT.
BEST I COULD TELL IS A LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEING ADDRESSED
[00:30:01]
AND RESOLVED.SO THEY, THEY'VE JUMPED IN, THEY'VE INTERVENED.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE GOTTEN THE RELIEF THEY WANTED THAT SHOULD NOT HOLD UP THE FORECLOSURE ACTION.
WHAT'S HOLD, WHAT HAS HELD IT UP IS COVID LAST WEEK, MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES THAT I BELIEVE HAVE GOTTEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO FORWARD.
WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT TO SEE US.
AND, UH, IF YOU CAN IMPRESS UPON JUDGE KLO COO HOW URGENT IT IS FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD, WE WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL.
I, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
AND IF YOU NEED ME TO COME BACK AND GIVE AN UPDATE, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO THAT AS WELL.
ANY QUESTIONS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR RAY, RAY, UH, WHAT TYPE OF TIMEFRAME DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD BE EXPECTING HERE IN TERMS OF SOME ACTION? FAIR QUESTION.
SO IF THEY MOVE FORWARD, THE NEXT STEP IS TO GET A REFEREE APPOINTED WHO WOULD HAVE TO COMPUTE THE AMOUNT DUE ON THE MORTGAGE THAT THAT GOES BEFORE THE COURT AND GETS, UH, INCORPORATED INTO A JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE.
NORMALLY, THAT KIND OF PROCESS SHOULDN'T TAKE MUCH MORE THAN 60 DAYS ONCE THEY HAVE THE JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE, WHICH INCLUDES THE AMOUNT DUE SO PEOPLE KNOW IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN BIDDING HOW MUCH THEY'RE GONNA BID.
UM, THE FORECLOSURE SALE PROBABLY COULD BE DONE WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THAT IF THEY MOVE FORWARD IN A NORMAL TIMELY FASHION.
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE A 2020 EVENT AS WE SIT HERE, BUT I WOULD SAY IF THEY MOVE THE CASE FORWARD, THEY, THEY SHOULD HAVE IT UP FOR AUCTION WITHIN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021.
WELL THEN THEY GOTTA CLOSE, YOU KNOW, AND WHOEVER ENDS UP OWNING IT HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO WITH IT.
YOU KNOW, ARE THEY GONNA MAKE IT A MULTI-PURPOSE, MULTI-USE, RETAIL'S CHALLENGING RIGHT NOW.
SO I WOULDN'T EXPECT IT WOULD BE ENTIRELY RETAIL, BUT YOU'D NEVER HELP.
WELL, I THINK IT'D BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KEEP US POSTED IN TERMS OF A TIMEFRAME BECAUSE WE'RE CONSIDERING THAT AREA, UH, POSSIBLY HAVING ENHANCEMENTS IN TERMS OF INCENTIVES FOR THE NEXT BUILDER.
AND THE SOONER WE KNOW AND THE SOONER WE HAVE, HAVE A SENSE OF THE TIMEFRAME COORDINATING THAT EFFORT MM-HMM
AND HAVING IT FINALIZED BEFORE WOULD BE HELPFUL.
SO I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED AS REALLY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, FOLKS? OKAY, RAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANKS FOR COMING OUT TO SEE US.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
UH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONVENE THE SECOND, UH, PUBLIC HEARING OF THE EVENING TO DISCUSS THE, UH, OVERALL, UH, 2021 BUDGET.

SECOND, SECOND ON THE QUESTION.
ON THE QUESTION, UH, ON THE QUESTION.
UH, I'M GONNA VOTE AGAINST THIS.
I DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA AT ALL.
I THINK IT'S A REACTION TO SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED HERE BEFORE.
UH, IF YOU LOOK INTO THIS, UH, THE TOWN BOARD, I BELIEVE HAS TO APPROVE IT.
THAT OPENS US UP FOR, FOR SOME, I I JUST DON'T LIKE THE WHOLE DEAL ALTOGETHER.
UH, THERE'S NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM, UH, UP UNTIL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
AND, UH, IT REALLY WASN'T EVEN A PROBLEM.
SO THAT'S MY THOUGHTS ON THAT.
WELL, YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK, UH, TO IT WHEN WE GET TO THE PUBLIC HEARING.
THIS IS A MOTION TO REFER IT TO NOVEMBER THE 16TH, 2020 FOR A PUBLIC HEARING MOTION BEEN MADE IN SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR OF ESTABLISHING THAT AS THE PUBLIC HEARING DATE.

SECOND IS MR. PEACHY ON THE QUESTION.

NOW WE HAVE A MOTION TO, UH, GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, BUT BEFORE I DO THAT, I DON'T WANT TO KEEP ALL OF YOU WAITING BECAUSE IF WE MOVE INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE GO INTO THE CONFERENCE ROOM IN PRIVATE TO DISCUSS THINGS, AND THEN YOU FOLKS HAVE TO SIT HERE AND WAIT FOR COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR.
SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS, UH, UH, REFER FIRST TO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS WHO ARE HERE TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO ADD TO THE AGENDA OR ANY COMMENTS THEY CARE TO MAKE.
AND THEN I WOULD OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC IF ANYBODY HAS ANYTHING HE OR SHE WOULD LIKE TO SAY.
CAMMI JARRELL FROM ENGINEERING.
ANYTHING YOU WANNA TELL US? UH, JUST AN UPDATE TO THE BOARD THAT THE, UH, SIDEWALKS ON DOLPHIN DRIVE WENT IN LAST WEEK.
UM, DESPITE THE CHALLENGES THAT THE RAINY WEATHER HAS BEEN GIVING US, THE, THE BOTH LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK, UM, STILL ON THE DOCKET IS THE THURSTON AVENUE DRAINAGE, AS WELL AS THE TWIN WALL PIPE CLEANING.
THOSE BOTH CONTRACTORS STILL WANNA GET THIS WORK DONE.
THEY'RE JUST MONITORING THE RAIN TO TRY TO TIME IT FOR LATER THIS WEEK, HOPEFULLY, IF NOT NEXT WEEK LOOKS LIKE 50 DEGREES AND, AND MILDER RAIN.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL GET DONE IN IN THE NEXT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
UH, MARTIN, HOW ABOUT YOU? I HAVE THREE QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS.
ONE, UH, THE TOWN OF PAMPER FITNESS CENTER AT THE, UH, PAMPER TOWN PARK IS REOPENED WITH RESTRICTIONS.
UH, CALL OUR OFFICE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION IN THE SENIOR DEPARTMENT.
[00:50:01]
THAT WE, UH, WERE SUCCESSFUL AGAIN, UH, FOR ANOTHER GRANT APPLICATION FOR VEHICLES.WE'LL BE RECEIVING SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, THREE MORE VEHICLES THROUGH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 53 10 PROGRAM.
AND IN THE YOUTH BUREAU, WE ARE STARTING TO GET READY FOR OUR ANNUAL TOY DRIVE.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS OF, UH, THE COVID SITUATION, WE'RE GONNA FIGURE OUT A WAY TO, UH, SERVE THE FAMILIES IN NEED FOR TOYS IN THE, UH, THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
HOW ABOUT DAN? ARE, HOW ABOUT ASSESSING ANYTHING TO THE REPORT? UH, JUST TWO THINGS.
I WANT TO THANK THE, UH, IT DEPARTMENT, UH, FOR HELPING US, UH, I GUESS LIMP ALONG WITH THE NEW COMPUTER UPGRADES.
UH, GETTING READY FOR THE, UH, NEXT TAX BILL THAT COMES OUT.
UH, I HAVE A EMAIL TO OUR, UH, TO, TO THE TOWN ATTORNEY.
UH, WE APPARENTLY HAVE A BOARD OF ASSESSMENT REVIEW MEMBER THAT NO LONGER LIVES IN THE TOWN, AND WE MAY NEED TO, UH, REPLACE THAT PERSON.
UH, SEAN CROTTY, HOW ABOUT YOU, SIR? I'M GOOD, THANK YOU.
UH, TED CASEY, UM, JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
UH, IT'S, IT'S FOR CAMIE, THE TWIN WILLOWS PROJECT.
I HOPE THAT THE, UM, PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE TWIN WILLOWS AND LOOKING AT THE PROJECT I, IF IT INCLUDES, OH YEAH, I'M SORRY.
THAT INITIAL IDEA OF THE, UM, I THINK THE HINGED, UH, FLAP AT THE END OF THE RECEIVER, AND ALSO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT INCLUDES, UH, REPAIRING THE ACTUAL JOINTS IN THE PIPE, WHICH IS, I THINK, REALLY FUNDAMENTAL TO SOLVING THE RESIDENTS ISSUE OVER THERE.
SO I, I WOULD, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU GUYS, THE ONE THING IS WITH THE DESIGN IS I THINK IT'S, UH, TO FASTEN TOGETHER, UH, MORE PAGE IN THE FRONT THAT'S NOT GONNA PRESENT.
OBVIOUSLY THE SAND FROM GALLERY UP THERE, WHICH I THINK BY THIS AS LONG AS NOBODY, SO I THINK WE REVISIT THAT, UM, THAT GATE, WHICH IS AN ESTIMATE OF $5,000 TO DO THAT.
THE ISSUE WAS THAT COMBINING THESE ITEMS PUTS US OVER.
SO ANY ADDITIONAL WORK NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT TO PUBLIC BID AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS.
SO OUR GOAL WAS TO HANDLE THE MORE IMMEDIATE THREAT, WHICH IS THAT FLOW PIPE THAT IS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE WATER TO COME UP AND BREAK THROUGH THE TOP OF THE PIPE BEFORE WE CAN DO THE REPAIR.
AND POSSIBLY WE WERE LOOKING AT A CAGE JUST FOR THAT LARGER PIPE THAT IS HAVING THAT PLUGGING ISSUE, UM, TO KEEP AT LEAST THE LARGER MATERIAL FROM CAUSING, YOU KNOW, TO BUILD UP AND HOLDING THE SAND.
IF YOU'RE ONLY GETTING SAND TO COME UP AND THEN YOU'RE GETTING WATER TO COME OUT AS WELL, IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO WASH AND AT LEAST GET US THROUGH THIS COMING STORM SEASON SO THAT WE CAN PLAN A LARGER PROJECT THAT'S GOING NEED TO FIX THE, THE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON THERE.
SO IS THERE A PLAN TO ACTUALLY REPAIR THOSE SHEETS, WHICH IS REALLY THE, THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCERN OF THE RESIDENT? WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO DISCUSS WITH THE BOARD WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN THE NEXT CONSTRUCTION SEASON TO, TO MOVE THOSE KIND OF REPAIRS FORWARD, AS WELL AS DEAL WITH OTHER ISSUES THAT THOSE RESIDENTS HAVE.
SO IS THAT JUST, IS THAT PHASE ONE THEN OF THIS PROJECT YOU RECALL? GOOD.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING, JIM, IS I, I, I WENT DOWN TO, UH, OUR STANDING AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS OLYMPIC, AND, AND THE DITCH WENT DOWN THIS AFTERNOON TO LOOK AT IT.
AND I, I SEE SOME STAKES HAVE BEEN PUT IN.
UH, THERE'S A, THERE'S A PENDING HIGHWAY EXCAVATION PERMIT THAT HAS TO BE SIGNED OFF ON BY THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
BUT I'M GONNA OFFER YOU AGENDA, YOU AND I GO DOWN THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE WHAT APPEARS TO ME IS THAT SECOND DITCH IF IT GOES IN, IS GONNA PREVENT US FROM MAINTAINING EITHER DITCH.
SO I THINK YOU AND I WOULD BE BETTER SERVED IF WE GO AND LOOK AT IT TO GET A, A GREAT CAMMY TO GIVE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE, UH, THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT IS NOT GONNA SIGN OFF ON THAT EXCAVATION PERMIT IF IN FACT IT PREVENTS US FROM GETTING OUR EQUIPMENT DOWN THERE TO MAINTAIN THE PRIMARY DITCH, LET ALONE A SECONDARY DITCH.
I WOULD ONLY SUGGEST TO YOU THIS, UH, WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS QUESTION SINCE JUNE OF 2020, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A BOARD MEETING WHEN THIS HAS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED BY YOU, BY CAMMY, BY THE RESIDENTS, BY THE TOWN BOARD.
WE'VE BEEN OVER AND BACK AND FORWARD ON THE ENTIRE QUESTION.
THERE MAY BE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.
[00:55:01]
OF WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE.BID SPECIFICATIONS WERE MADE, RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED.
FIVE ZIP TO APPROVE US TO GO FORWARD WITH THE TWIN DITCHES AND THE BERM ON THE, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SECOND DITCH.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE HAVE PUT IT INTO OUR BONDED BONDING PROGRAM FOR 2021.
WE'VE BEEN OVER AND ABOVE AND THROUGH THIS, IT'S PASSED TWO SEPARATE RESOLUTIONS, FIVE ZIP.
I'M NOT INCLINED TO REVISIT IT.
I'M HAPPY TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT IT.
BUT I, I WANNA BE CANDID WITH YOU, ONCE WE'VE MADE THIS DECISION AND WE'VE LISTENED FOR FOUR MONTHS TO ALL THE ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON, UH, WE JUST CAN'T KEEP GOING OVER THE SAME TURF, UH, WE'VE HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO DEBATE THE PROS AND CONS.
FIRST OFF, I'VE SAID AT LEAST TWICE YEAH.
THAT THE SECOND IMPACT MAINTENANCE.
AT LEAST TWICE IN THIS ROOM, OFF DOWN.
JUST WANNA GO RECORD SAYS OFF FINE ENOUGH.
UNLESS WE CAN ADDRESS THAT, MAKE IT MATTER.
UNLESS YEAH, THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT NOT GONNA SIGN OFF WORK.
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ABOUT ENOUGH.
WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS MAYBE SEVEN OR EIGHT TIMES AND I THINK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
PETER, HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON BEHALF OF THE CHIEF? I'M SORRY.
UH, HR CHUCK, ANYTHING TO REPORT? NOTHING.
SAM, DO YOU WANT TURN IT BACK ON? UM, SO WE LOST OUR, UH, I HIT THE SWITCH UNDER HERE.
DO YOU WANT ME TO TURN IT BACK ON? UH, GO AHEAD THEN.
THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE, THE PA ALRIGHT.
IT'S GOT THAT MIGHT NOT WANNA DO IT.
I BEG YOUR PARDON? WE MIGHT NOT WANNA DO THE PRESENTATION IF WE CAN'T.
SO ME TURN IT OFF AGAIN OR NOT? YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
SO, UM, I GUESS THERE, UM, THERE IS OUR NORMAL BUDGET PRESENTATION, UM, THAT WE USUALLY OH, THANK YOU.
WE CAN TELL WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN HERE IN A WHILE,
SO, UM, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WE'RE HAVING, UM, THERE IS A BUDGET PRESENTATION, WHICH WE NORMALLY DO EVERY YEAR, UM, THAT WILL BE POSTED ON THE TOWN'S WEBSITE, UH, WHICH JUST DETAILS AND GOES THROUGH THE SUPERVISOR'S 2021 BUDGET.
UM, THAT IS JUST THE PROPOSED BUDGET, WHICH THEN THE BOARD MEMBERS WILL BE WORKING, UM, ON UP UNTIL THE NOVEMBER 16TH BOARD MEETING.
SO THAT PRESENTATION WILL BE ON THE FINANCE TAB OF THE TOWN WEBSITE.
AND IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO IT, UM, ANYONE CAN, CAN CONTACT ME REGARDING IT.
UH, SAM, UH, I KNOW THAT THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT.
UH, WOULD THERE BE A DIFFICULTY, UH, IN, UH, IN DOING THIS, UH, ON THE SECOND, JUST AS A POINT OF INFORMATION, I KNOW IT DOESN'T SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF, OF THE HEARING, BUT JUST AS A POINT OF INFORMATION FOR LIVE STREAMING PURPOSES AND FOR THE PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE, THEN AS A POINT OF INFORMATION, WE CAN DO THAT AT ANY TIME.
AS LONG AS WE DID OPEN THE FLOOR UP THIS EVENING FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR RESIDENTS WHERE THERE AND THERE WERE NO COMMENTS.
UH, JENNIFER, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING FROM IT? OKAY.
AND HOW ABOUT YOU MADAM CLERK? NO.
ALRIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, UH, UH, FOR THE PUBLIC, ANYTHING FROM, FROM ANY MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE WHO HASN'T SPOKEN ALREADY? YES, SIR.
UM, WE WANTED CASEY, I CALLED THE COUNTY ABOUT SEVEN TIMES ABOUT STREETLIGHTS ON THE OLD LAKE SHE ROAD, ASSUMING THEY WERE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
WE CALLED TED, IT GOT FIXED AND ONE DAY THE STREET LIGHTS HAD TRUCA TERRACE IN THE OLD LAKE SHE ROAD.
AND OUR, UH, TRASH IS GETTING PICKED UP ON TIME AND OUR STREET, UH, IS IN PERFECT SHAPE.
THAT, UH, THE OTHER THING IS THE, UM, UH, TWO THINGS.
UH, ONE AT BAYVIEW, OH, AT THE CORNER, YOU, YOU WERE TALKED ABOUT A PIECE OF PROPERTY WHERE CHURCH WAS, IF THE AGE ROAD, ROUTE FIVE, I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL ON
[01:00:01]
THAT.BRAD HANER SON BOUGHT THAT PATRICK KANE'S HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET.
BRAD, BY THE WAY, TURNED 94, UH, LAST WEEKEND.
IT'S GOTTA BE A BIG TAXPAYER IN TOWN.
SO I WOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT TURNING THAT PROPERTY INTO ANYTHING WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, GETTING SOME INPUT FROM THE NEIGHBORS THERE.
UH, THE OTHER THING IS THE, UM, BETWEEN BAYVIEW AND BIG TREE, THIS CAME UP OVER THE WEEKEND.
THEY'RE CLEARING ALL THAT LAND IN THERE FOR SOMETHING.
THERE'S A HISTORICAL SITE IN THERE.
THERE, THERE'S TONS OF SHELL CASINGS AND BULLETS AND COINS FROM WORLD WAR I BEING FOUND TOWARDS THE BACK IN AN EMBANKMENT.
I MEAN, HUNDREDS OF 'EM WERE FOUND OVER THE WEEKEND.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE TOWN OF STORY IS, BUT HE, HE GOT A PHONE CALL, DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST IF IT HAPPENS TO BE AS IMPORTANT AS I THINK IT IS, UM, I HAD HIRED THE UB, UH, ANTHROPOLOGY SURVEY DEPARTMENT TO, TO, UH, STUDY A PIECE OF HISTORICAL PROPERTY.
I HAVE AN IRVING AND THE TOWN HISTORIAN MAYBE BEFORE YOU, YOU DO THAT, THAT HE OUGHT TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THERE.
THERE'S COINS TO WORLD WAR I IN THERE.
SO THERE WAS EITHER A TRAINING SESSION OR A POLICE TRAINING, BUT IT'S, IT'S BACK IN THE TWENTIES.
AND, AND IN THE TEENS OF 1900, WE FOUND OVER A HUNDRED CASINGS IN AN HOUR THIS WEEKEND BACK IN THERE.
SO IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT, I CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
THE OTHER THING IS THE, UM, UH, THE TOWN'S GOTTA TAKE A POSITION ON THIS WIND POWER, AND I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT 'CAUSE THE GOVERNOR'S GOT, CAN, HE CAN MAKE PUT 50 WINTER RIDES IN THE LAKE BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, OUR TOWN OF HAMBURG.
AND I MEAN, ANYBODY THAT'S GOT PROPERTY, IF YOU LISTEN TO THE FISHERMEN ON THIS, ANYBODY THAT PUTS A WIND TURBINE IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S OUT A HALF A MILE AN HOUR, THEIR ASSESSMENTS ARE GONNA GO RIGHT DOWN, WHICH IS GONNA AFFECT THE TAX CASE.
THE GOVERNOR COULD DO IT TOMORROW.
OKAY? IF YOU TAKE, I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO WHY WIND POWER DOESN'T WORK, BUT ANYBODY WHO LIVES ALONG THE LAKESHORE ROAD IS NOT GONNA WANT THAT.
SO I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I'VE ASKED ON THAT ONE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION, BUT OKAY.
THE WIN POSITION, TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND, UH, MAYBE OPPOSE OR AT LEAST TELL THE GOVERNOR THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT IN FAVOR.
ANY OTHER RESIDENTS THAT WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANY OTHER TOPIC, AGENDA ITEM OR NOT? OKAY.
ON OUR, ON OUR, UH, AGENDA FOR TONIGHT IS A MOTION TO GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO TALK ABOUT LITIGATION THAT INVOLVES, UH, TOWN POTENTIAL LITIGATION THAT INVOLVES TOWN EMPLOYEE AND TO DISCUSS THAT IN PUBLIC WOULD COMPROMISE, POTENTIALLY COMPROMISE THE TOWN'S POSITION VIS-A-VIS THE PROSPECTIVE LITIGATION.
UH, AND ALSO THE TOWN'S POSITION WITH REGARD TO AN ULTIMATE RESOLUTION OF A FORMAL COMPLAINT BY ONE EMPLOYEE AGAINST ANOTHER.
SO BASED UPON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT THE, UH, TOWN, UH, BOARD GO INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT? MOTION? SECOND.
ALRIGHT, MR. CONLEY ON THE QUESTION.
ALL IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
UH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, UH, ONCE WE COME BACK FROM THE EXECUTIVE SESSION, I THINK THE ONLY THING IN FRONT OF US THEN WILL BE PROBABLY TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
IF YOU'D RATHER NOT HANG AROUND TO OBSERVE THAT.
IF ANYONE NEEDS A FULL FORM SIGNED, THEY PROBABLY SHOULD DO THAT RIGHT NOW AS WELL.
EXCUSE ME, KAREN? YEAH, WHAT IT'S GONNA DO SLOW MOTION.
I WAS FACING, THERE'S ALSO PAPER TOWEL THERE.
UM, IT'S GONNA BE REALLY FUN TO WATCH THAT LATER QUICK.
