[00:03:13]
WE DON'T USUALLY DO A ROLL CALL FOR THIS, FOR THE WORK SESSION.
UM, WE CAN JUST SIMPLY START WITH, UH, GOING OVER OUR AGENDA.
I THINK THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA SEE THAT THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH CONTROVERSIAL ON THE AGENDA THIS, THIS, THIS MONTH.
UM, I JUST WANNA RECOGNIZE THAT COUNCIL MEMBER FARRELL IS JOINING US VIRTUALLY THIS EVENING FOR THE WORK SESSION, UH, AS WELL AS THE TONE BOARD MEETING.
UM, BEFORE WE GO INTO THE AGENDA, ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS WOULD WANT TO IDENTIFY OR DISCUSS? UH, BEFORE WE DIG INTO THAT, WE CAN GO OVER, UH, ONE BY ONE.
I THINK THAT, UH, WE HAVE A TRAINING HOUR CARRYOVER.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE ZONING BOARD? I THINK ZONING AND PLANNING MEMBERS.
WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE COMING BACK TO THE COURT.
WE HAVE SOME SU UH, AUCTION SUPPLIES FOR RACK.
UH, YOU'LL SEE A GOOD CHUNK OF THESE PAPERS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, RELATED TO, UH, GOLF CART LEASING FOR OUR RECREATION DEPARTMENT.
[00:05:03]
WE ALSO HAVE, UH, OUR PLANNING CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR CONSIDERATION AS WELL.AND, UM, DO YOU WANNA COMMENT ON THE GOLF CART? YES.
SO, UH, THE GOLF CART, UH, PROPOSAL, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS BECAUSE WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TO LOOK INTO, UM, EXACTLY WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST ARRANGEMENT.
IT'S AS, AS EVERYTHING THE SUPPLY, UM, UH, CHAIN HA HAS AFFECTED THIS.
SO, UM, WE'RE, WE WERE LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF POTENTIALLY INCORPORATING BATTERY OPERATED, UH, ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
UM, BUT THAT'S NOT FEASIBLE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THE LOGISTICS OF THE GOLF COURSE.
THE CURRENT SETUP, WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE GARAGE SPACE, UH, FOR THE CARTS, AND CURRENTLY THEY'RE ALL OUTDOORS.
SO I, I BRING THIS TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION JUST BECAUSE THESE ARE GAS POWERED, UH, GOLF CARTS, UH, WHICH CURRENTLY, UM, IS, IS MORE OR LESS STANDARD.
AND, UH, THESE ARE GONNA BE GREAT NEW CARTS THAT, UM, WE'RE GETTING, UH, WE DID OUR HOMEWORK AND OUR DUE DILIGENCE IN GETTING, UH, GREAT PRICES FOR THIS LEASE PROGRAM.
HOWEVER, I THINK IN THE FUTURE, WE WOULD LIKE TO START THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO AT THE GOLF COURSE TO POSITION IT FOR WHEN THIS LEASE IS DUE TO TRANSITION TO, UH, ELECTRIC, UH, GOLF CARTS.
UH, OUR THOUGHT IS AT THE, BY THAT POINT, THE PROGRESS IN TERMS OF THE TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE EVEN ENHANCED.
UM, IT'LL ALSO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY AS WE MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE GOLF COURSE TO POTENTIALLY, UM, MAKE WHATEVER ARRANGEMENTS WE NEED TO HAVE IT ACCESSIBLE FOR BATTERY OPERATED, UH, CARTS SO WE CAN GET AWAY FROM, UH, GASOLINE POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE.
I'M SORRY, SEAN, WHAT WAS THE, WHAT WHAT'S PREVENTING US FROM GOING ELECTRIC NOW? SO RIGHT NOW TO HAVE ELECTRIC CARTS, UM, YOU NEED TO HAVE A GARAGE, A UNIT, A STORAGE UNIT, UH, FOR THE BATTERIES.
AND, UH, WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM.
WE DON'T HAVE THE, THE STORAGE.
SO WE WOULD, UH, WE HAVE OUR CARTS PRIMARILY OUT OUTDOORS.
AND AT THIS POINT, UM, IT'S, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE TO HAVE HAVE IT.
THE NEXT ITEM THAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE HERE IS A CONTRACT FOR LABOR RELATIONS HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTANT IDENTIFIED AS, UH, NANCY CURRY.
NOW I HAVE, UH, NANCY HAS SHARED HER RESUME WITH THE TOM BOARD MEMBERS.
UM, I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ONE-ON-ONE WITH, UH, WITH OUR, WITH TOM BOARD MEMBERS.
AND I THINK THAT, UH, UH, I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT, UH, BRINGING NANCY ON BOARD.
UM, SHE HAS A, A, A GREAT RESUME, UM, THAT, UM, SHOWS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WORKING, UH, IN, UH, IN A, IN A GOVERNMENT SETTING, WORKING WITH, UH, WITH CONTRACTS, WORKING IN A LABOR SETTING, UH, AND, UH, HELPING, UH, HELPING TO IMPLEMENT PERSONNEL AND HR POLICY AT THE ERIE COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER.
SO SHE, SHE BRINGS A, A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE, AND I'D BE HAPPY TO, TO DISCUSS ANY QUESTIONS THAT FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS MIGHT HAVE.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE, AS I MENTIONED, THE PLANNING CONSULTANT AGREEMENT.
AND THIS IS THE, UH, CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE WITH SARAH DE NO CHANGES TO THAT CONTRACT, UH, AS WELL AS THE, UM, YOUTH AT RISK COORDINATOR AGREEMENT.
UM, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CONLEY AND HOKE MAY RECALL THAT THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, WITH I BELIEVE HAMBURG CENTRAL SCHOOLS, UH, WHERE WE HAVE, UM, WE SHARE THE, THE EMPLOYMENT EXPENSES OF THIS YOUTH AT RISK COORDINATOR.
WE SHARE THESE EXPENSES, UH, 50 50, AND THIS IS JUST A CONTINUATION OF THAT AGREEMENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE SOME HIRING, SOME PART-TIME HIRING HIGHWAY.
UH, ALSO A, UH, PERSONAL ACTION FORM TO BRING TOM LARDO BACK IN AS A PART-TIME,
[00:10:01]
UH, EMPLOYEE.HE'S GONNA HELP US IN TRANSITION FOR OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
AND, UH, WE CROSSED FOR SOME TRAINING FOR SOME OF OUR BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS EMPLOYEES, AS WELL AS PERSONAL ACTION FORM FOR BNG AND MORE TRAINING FOR BNG.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA ITEMS? ALRIGHT, WELL, I KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A FEW ITEMS THAT WE DISCUSS IN WORK SESSION TODAY.
COUNCILMAN HAD MENTIONED A COUPLE.
FIRST, WHY I WANTED MENTION IS, UH, WE MADE SOME, UH, REALLY GOOD PROGRESS ON THE GOLF COURSE.
UM, WE'VE, WE, WE HAD A MEETING LAST WEEK, UH, WITH THE, UH, ENGINEERING CONSULTANT AS WELL AS, UM, PERSONNEL FROM THE TOWN.
AND, UH, ESSENTIALLY THE CONSULTANT GAVE US AN UPDATE ON WHERE THE PROJECT STANDS.
UH, THIS IS THE IRRIGATION, UH, STUDY THAT WE HAD COMMISSIONED LAST YEAR.
AND, UM, IT LOOKS LIKE THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY FOUND, UH, WAYS THAT WE CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN TERMS OF, OF BETTER IRRIGATION, UH, EVERYTHING THAT, THAT JIMMY BRANT, WHO'S THE, UH, THE MAIN OPERATOR, UH, HEAD, UH, OF THE GOLF, UH, COURSE FROM, UH, THE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS DEPARTMENT, EVERYTHING THAT HE'S LOOKING FOR IN TERMS OF HOW WE CAN, UH, SOLVE THE IRRIGATION PROBLEM.
UM, THE BAD NEWS IS, IS THERE IS, UH, A COST OBVIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY TO SAY, BUT WE'RE, UH, BALLPARK LOOKING IN THE 500 TO $600,000 RANGE, UH, TO COMPLETELY DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO AT THE COURSE.
UM, SO THE GAME PLAN REALLY FROM HERE IS TO EVERY TWO WEEKS, WE HAVE A SET MEETING FOR EVERY FRIDAY, UH, WITH THE ENGINEER, UH, ENGINEERING FIRM THAT WILL PROVIDE US AN UPDATE.
UM, AS YOU RECALL, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GET EVERYTHING APPROVED BECAUSE, UH, WE ARE AT THE 18 MILE CREEK, WHICH IS CONSIDERED, UM, A WETLAND, UH, THAT THE DEC CONTROLS MM-HMM
SO WE HAVE TO WORK, UH, VERY CLOSELY WITH, UM, THIS, THE DEC AND SOME OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES IN TERMS OF WHAT WE CAN AND WE CAN'T DO.
UM, BUT WE DO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, UM, TO MAKE A, A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT TO THE COURSE.
IT WAS THE NUMBER ONE REQUEST, UM, FROM THE GOLF COURSE IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY NEED, WHAT THEY FELT WE NEEDED TO DO TO PUT THE, THE COURSE WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
AND, UM, IN TALKING TO ANDY, THE, THE CONSULTANT, UH, AND ASKING 'EM A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS, ESSENTIALLY, WE HAVE, UH, EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PUT IN, UH, AS LATE AS THE 1970S.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HASN'T BEEN, UM, REALLY, UH, IMPROVED IN OVER 50 YEARS.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT, UH, THE GOLF COURSE IS SUCH A MAIN PART OF OUR RECREATION DEPARTMENT, UM, THE MOST PROFITABLE, UH, PART OF OUR, OF OUR, OUR PROGRAMS AND HAS, YOU KNOW, UH, ONE OF THE, UM, BUSIEST, UH, AMOUNT OF, OF PARTICIPANTS, I DO FEEL THAT IT, IT WARRANTS US REALLY TAKING, YOU KNOW, ALL THIS TIME AND EFFORT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN POSITION IT TO, TO LAST ANOTHER 50, A HUNDRED YEARS.
AND THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS, IS SOMETHING THAT, UM, IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL WITH A GOLF COURSE.
SO, UH, WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IN TERMS OF, UM, MEETING THE REGULATIONS REQUIRED, GOING THROUGH SOME OF THAT PROCESS.
UM, BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE EVERY, EVERY AN UPDATE THAT ONCE WE DO HAVE A FINAL PLAN, UM, THE PLAN WOULD BE TO, UH, HAVE THE ENGINEER AS WELL AS, UM, THE TOWN OFFICIALS THAT HAVE HELPED OUT, UH, HAVE A PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF THE BOARD, UH, AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC TO GIVE A C COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WOULD NEED TO BE MADE, UH, SO WE CAN PUT THEM UNDER CONSIDERATION.
ANY QUESTION ON THE GOLF COURSE? UH, THE NEXT PIECE OF RECREATION NEWS IS FROM THE ICE ARENA.
UH, WE ALSO HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE, UH, UH, WEEK LAST WEEK IN TERMS OF MEETING WITH THREE, UH, FINALISTS THAT ARE THE ENGINEERING FIRMS THAT ARE BIDDING ON GETTING THE WORK TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE, UH, NIKE BASE AND THE ICE ARENA, UH, EXTREMELY, UM, COMPETENT
[00:15:01]
PRESENTATIONS THAT REALLY IMPRESSED US IN TERMS OF THEIR, UH, THEIR KNOWLEDGE, THEIR EXPERIENCE.WE FEEL, FELT THAT THE COMMITTEE FELT, FELT STRONG THAT WE HAD SOME GREAT, UH, OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE PRESENTATIONS.
IT WAS REALLY BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT SIMILAR PROJECTS AND SIMILAR TOWNS AND SIMILAR AREAS THROUGHOUT WESTERN NEW YORK, UM, HAVE BEEN DONE.
AND, UH, I, OF COURSE I COULDN'T HELP BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, ASK A BUNCH OF FINANCIAL QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF WHAT ULTIMATELY WE'D BE LOOKING AT.
AND BASED ON THOSE ANSWERS, I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO, TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION.
UM, IF WE ARE LOOKING AT TAKING ESSENTIALLY A BANDAID APPROACH AND JUST FIXING SOME OF THE ESSENTIALS, WE'D PROBABLY LOOKING AT, UM, APPROXIMATELY $2 MILLION IF WE'RE TO REALLY DO THE UPGRADES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN THE PAST THAT, UM, MANY OF US FEEL ARE NECESSARY.
UH, WE'D BE LOOKING ABOUT $6 MILLION.
AND IF WE ARE TO DO WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED, AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE, UH, ADDITIONAL LOCKER ROOMS, IT WOULD INCLUDE AN UPGRADED HVC, UH, HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM, AND IN, IN, IN, IN, UH, INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL, UH, RE RESURFACING, THE, UH, LOBBY AREA, UH, THE ENTRANCEWAY, UM, BATHROOM ACCESSIBILITY, THE YEAR-ROUND FUNCTIONALITY, UH, THAT, THAT WOULD ALLOW IT TO BE, UH, HEAT AND COOL 365 DAYS A YEAR.
AND COMPARED TO PRIMARILY, UM, HAVING GOOD, UH, EFFICIENCY JUST IN THE, THE WINTER.
UM, AND IF WE WENT TO THE LEVEL THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE PAST WITH A ADDITIONAL RINK, UH, SO WE'D HAVE TWO RINKS INSTEAD OF ONE, WE'D BE LIKELY LOOKING CLOSE TO, UH, $10 MILLION.
SO WHAT WE DO, UH, WE'LL NOT BE DETERMINED FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
WE STILL HAVE TO SELECT THE FIRM.
UH, WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH, UH, A WHOLE DUE DILIGENCE WITH, I FEEL THE PUBLIC, UH, HOCKEY ASSOCIATION, UM, BE, UH, LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS THAT ARE USING THE FACILITY.
UH, EVEN HILBERT COLLEGE USES THE FACILITY INPUT FROM ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS TO DETERMINE WHAT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION AND THEN THE TAXPAYERS WHAT, UH, THE TAXPAYERS WOULD BE WILLING TO, TO, TO HELP FUND.
UH, BUT I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION BECAUSE IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR OVER A DECADE.
AND I FEEL LIKE OVER THE LAST YEAR, WE'VE MADE MAJOR PROGRESS IN COMING UP WITH, UH, SOME SOLUTIONS.
UH, THE NEXT STEP WILL JUST BE DETERMINED.
DO WE WANT, UH, SHORT, YOU KNOW, SHORT QUICK FIX SOLUTIONS? DO WE WANT SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE WHERE WE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE, IT'S GONNA BE IN POSITION FOR THE NEXT, UH, 20 YEARS? OR DO WE WANT TO, UH, GO, GO ALL IN AND, AND HAVE UPGRADES THAT ARE GOING TO PROBABLY LAST ANOTHER 50 YEARS? YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT SITE ITSELF, SIMILAR TO THE GOLF COURSE, UM, WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE 19, I BELIEVE, SEVENTIES.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT WELL OVER 50 YEARS.
AND A LOT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS POINTED OUT IN THE PRESENTATIONS, UM, IS WELL PAST ITS LIFE EXPECTANCY, WELL PAST ITS USAGE, AND IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S COSTING MORE TO REPAIR IT.
AND IN SOME CASES, IF SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT DOESN'T, UH, WORK, THERE'S NOT EVEN, UH, THEIR OUTDATED EQUIPMENT IN TERMS OF BEING REPLACED.
SO WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE I DON'T FEEL WE CAN, CAN WAIT MUCH LONGER TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS.
WE'VE ALREADY EAR EARMARKED A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT I THINK IT'S, IT'S WORTH OUR TIME AND EFFORT TO, UM, YOU KNOW, TO CONSIDER COMPLETELY SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
AND SO WE'LL, UM, WE'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED AND THE, THE NEXT STEP THERE WILL BE, SIMILAR TO THE GOLF COURSE, WE'D HAVE, UH, A PUBLIC MEETING WHERE, UH, WHOEVER IS, UH, OR, OR BETWEEN THE BOARD, UH, WE'LL PROBABLY, UH, CHOOSE TWO FINALISTS AND THEY CAN, UH, HELP IN DECIDING, UH, WHO WE GO WITH IN TERMS OF THE, THE ENGINEER.
AND THEN IT'LL BE ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL, UM, A LOT OF TIME I SHOULD SAY IN TERMS OF US FIGURING OUT EXACTLY WHAT WE WANNA DO, HOW WE WANNA DO IT.
BUT I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT SINCE WE'RE MAKING REALLY GOOD HEADWAY AND WE'RE GETTING TO, TO THE POINT OF SELECTING A FIRM TO, UM, TO ACTUALLY TAKE ON, UH, THE PROJECT THAT I'VE GIVEN AN UPDATE.
UH, SEAN IS EITHER THE ICEBREAKER OR THE GOLF COURSE DRAW UNDER ANY OF THE BOND OR GRANTS OR CARE THAT MONEY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I, I CAN'T GIVE A DEFINITE ANSWER BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S, UM, THERE'S, THERE'S NOT COMPLETE,
[00:20:01]
UH, AGREEMENT ON WHAT IS WOULD BE APPLICABLE AND WHAT WOULDN'T BE APPLICABLE MM-HMMUM, BUT I WOULD, AT, AT THIS POINT, I THINK IT'S SAFER TO SAY THE ASSUMPTION IS IT WOULD NOT BE, UM, OR AT LEAST THE BULK OF IT WOULD NOT BE.
CERTAINLY WE'RE GONNA TRY ALL AVENUES POSSIBLE IN TERMS OF, UH, GRANT MONEY AND, UH, THE AMERICAN RESCUES ACT MONEY.
UM, AND, AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT FITS THE CRITERIA, UH, THAT WOULD BE A BONUS.
IT'D BE GREAT TO INCLUDE THAT.
BUT AS OF NOW, UM, I CAN'T SAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF, IF, IF ANY OF US CAN YET IN TERMS OF, UM, WHAT WILL BE APPLICABLE THAT WE CAN USE AND WHAT WON'T.
BUT, BUT, BUT WE CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA LOOK INTO BECAUSE THAT WOULD, THAT COULD HELP, UH, TO SOME EXTENT.
COUNCIL MEMBER ERFORD, ANYTHING? NO, I WAS JUST GONNA ACTUALLY ASK SEAN A QUICK QUESTION.
THE ICE ARENA, WHAT IS THE TIMELINE WE'RE LOOKING AT IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT, LIKE THE DREAM PROJECT, HOW LONG WOULD THAT TAKE US TO IMPLEMENT IT? WELL, IT, I'M ALWAYS HESITANT TO GIVE OUT, UH, YOU KNOW, EXACT TIMEFRAMES, RIGHT.
UM, BECAUSE IT'S, EVERYTHING IS SO SUBJECT TO, UM, FUNDING AVAILABILITY.
UM, YOU KNOW, UH, SUPPLIES, YOU KNOW, THE TIME SCHEDULE, ONE OF THE, YOU KNOW, ALL THREE OF THE, UH, THE GROUPS THAT PRESENTED, UM, AND MARTY DEKE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDED A LOT OF INPUT AS WELL IN TERMS OF HOW LONG ARE WE BE CLOSED AND HOW LONG CAN WE AFFORD TO BE CLOSED.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS WONDERING.
SO THE ISSUE IS REALLY THE, THE SWEET SPOT WOULD BE SOMETIME GENERALLY BETWEEN MAY, JUNE AND, UH, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER.
UM, IT WOULD AFFECT OUR DAY PROGRAM, THE SUMMER CAMP, UM, AND SOME OF THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE OUT THERE.
UM, BUT NOT TO ANY GREAT EXTENT.
AND THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK AROUND, UH, YOU KNOW, WITH THEIR OTHER PROJECTS WHERE IT'S, IT'S FAIRLY LIMITED.
UM, BUT IDEALLY FOR US, I THINK REALISTICALLY THE EARLIEST WE WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO START ANY MAJOR, UH, WORK WOULD PROBABLY BE, UM, THE END OF NEXT SEASON REALISTICALLY.
UM, IF WE CAN, UH, IF THERE'S A LOT OF AGREEMENT AND THE FUNDING'S IN PLACE, THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE SOME OF THE INITIAL, UM, WORK ON THE MECHANICS BE DONE, UH, HOPEFULLY EVEN BEFORE THE SEASON.
BUT I THINK THAT WOULD, OUR BEST CASE SCENARIO WOULD PROBABLY BE TO START SOME OF THE WORK IN THE FALL, MORE REALISTICALLY PROBABLY, UM, NEXT SPRING, UH, EARLY SUMMER.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WORST CASE, DEPENDING AGAIN, ON, ON FUNDING AND AGREEMENT ON THE PROJECT.
'CAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO MOVE SLOW AND CAREFUL IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT RIGHT, IF WE'RE GONNA SPEND ALL THIS TIME AND EFFORT, WE, WE GET EXACTLY WHAT, UM, MOST PEOPLE WANT.
WE'RE NEVER GONNA PLEASE EVERYBODY, BUT IF WE, IF WE TAKE OUR TIME, I THINK WE CAN GET AS CLOSE AS AS POSSIBLE.
SO I THINK IF, IF THAT PART OF THE DIALOGUE TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN WE ANTICIPATE, WE COULD BE LOOKING AT, LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, UH, TWO YEARS FROM NOW.
UM, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR CLOSE TO 20 YEARS IN TERMS OF IMPROVEMENTS.
UM, IT'S BEEN OVER 20 YEARS SINCE ANY, UH, IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN DONE, AND THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WERE FAIRLY MINOR.
SO, UM, AS ANXIOUS AS EVERYONE IS AND AS MUCH AS THESE CONSULTANTS AS WELL AS, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE STAFF WITH B AND G, UH, EVERYBODY REALIZES WE'RE, WE'RE WELL PAST THE TIME, THE LIFE EXPECTANCIES FOR SOME OF THIS, UM, I, I WOULD HATE TO SEE US RUSH, UM, AND NOT HAVE EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT IF WE CAN.
IT'S KIND OF WHAT I WAS THINKING, BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A LARGE PARCEL OF LAND, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
IT'S CLOSE TO 300 ACRES THAT NIKE BASED COMPLEX.
I'D LIKE TO SEE US DO IT CAREFULLY, BUT ALSO DO IT WITH A LONG-TERM PLAN IN MIND OF PERHAPS MAYBE PHASES WE'RE GOING THROUGH SO THAT NO ONE GROUP IS KIND OF OUT THEIR SEASON BECAUSE WE'RE IMPROVING THE FACILITIES FOR ANOTHER GROUP.
AND SO I KNOW IT'S USED BY VARIOUS SPORTS ACTIVITIES AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ALTERNATIVE PLANS IN PLACE FOR THOSE THAT WOULD BE KIND OF HAD THEIR SEASON MOVED FROM THERE BECAUSE OF THE BUILDING.
WE, WE WANNA TRY TO HAVE AS LITTLE DISRUPTION TO OUR FOLKS AS POSSIBLE.
UM, BUT AGAIN, IF IT'S A, A COUPLE WEEKS OR MONTHS OF DISRUPTION TO PUT THIS FACILITY, YOU KNOW, IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THE NEXT 30 PLUS YEARS, YOU KNOW, I THINK EVERYONE WILL PROBABLY BE WILLING TO DO IT.
UM, BUT WE DO HAVE TO NAVIGATE THAT AS BEST WE CAN, SO THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH MAKE SURE WE HAVE LIKE, ALTERNATIVE PLANS IN PLACE.
AND I THINK WE'LL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THAT.
SO MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT ONE OF THE ISSUES AT THE, AT THE ICE ARENA IS A LACK OF,
[00:25:01]
UH, LOCKER ROOM FACILITIES.SO THESE UPGRADES WILL WILL ADDRESS THAT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S, UM, HAPPENED IS, WELL, ALL, ALL THE PROPOSALS HAVE TALKED ABOUT EXPANDING THE LOCKER ROOMS AND THAT'S BEEN THE ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES, UH, NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF THE SPACE, UH, MOST RINKS HAVE, UH, THE TEAM SEPARATE, YOU KNOW, SEPARATE AREAS.
OURS IS WHERE ALL THE TEAMS ARE LITERALLY IN THE SAME HALLWAY.
THEY'RE ALL COMING ON AND OFF THE ICE, EXACT SAME LOCATION, WHICH, YOU KNOW, FROM TIME TO TIME PRESENTS PROBLEMS. UM, AS WELL AS, UH, ONE OF THE BIG CHANGES IN THE LAST, YOU KNOW, 20 YEARS IS THE INCREASE IN FEMALE PLAYERS MM-HMM
AND SO THE, THE DESIRE TO HAVE SOME SPECIAL AREAS THAT WOULD BE, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR SOME OF THE, THE FEMALES TO CHANGE SEPARATE IF THEY'RE ON A TEAM INSTEAD OF HAVING ONE TEAM LOCKER, THERE'D BE, UM, ADDITIONAL SPACE, UM, THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP AS A, A MAIN GOAL OR DESIRE IF WE COULD HAVE AS PART OF THE NEW, UH, PROPOSAL.
AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY WOULD MAKE IT, UM, A LOT EASIER FOR, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR ALL PLAYERS REFEREES AS WELL, THAT THAT WAS MENTIONED.
MOST FACILITIES HAVE AN AREA THAT IS SEPARATE, UM, AND DISTINCT FOR THE REFEREES.
AND THAT'S BEEN, THAT WAS PART OF, I BELIEVE, EACH PROPOSAL AS WELL.
AND WAS IT ALSO GONNA INCLUDE THE PARKING AREA AROUND THERE OR JUST NO, THIS IS REALLY JUST THE INSIDE, UM, INFRASTRUCTURE.
WE DID TAKE CARE OF THE PARKING LOT LAST, UH, LAST SUMMER, SO I THINK WE'RE IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE IN TERMS OF, YEAH, I KNOW THE SOFTBALL DIAMONDS HAVE A GRAVEL PARKING LOT BACK THERE.
SO THAT, THAT COULD BE PART OF IT.
YOU KNOW, THE BACK PART STILL NEEDS SOME WORK.
THE LACROSSE AREA, YOU KNOW, IS ON OUR RADAR.
UM, SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE, MAYBE THE SOFTBALL AREA, I BELIEVE.
UM, BUT, BUT AT THIS POINT, YOU KNOW, PRIMARILY IT WOULD BE THE ICE RINK.
HOWEVER, WE WANNA TAKE OUTSIDE THE BOX HERE.
ONE OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE IS IF WE COULD MAKE IT, AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE LACK OF, OF BATHROOMS AT THE NIKE CENTER, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S TOURNAMENTS OR BIGGER EVENTS.
AND, UM, SO THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THE LOBBY AREA, UM, SITUATED AND ACCESSIBLE SO THAT 24 7, 365, THERE'D BE, UH, BATHROOMS, YOU KNOW, UH, AREAS FOR PEOPLE TO GET WARM COME INSIDE, UH, AS NEEDED, WHICH, UM, THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER AREA RIGHT NOW ON THAT SITE THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT.
SO WE'RE THINKING IF WE'RE GONNA SPEND THE TIME AND EFFORT TO HELP, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HOCKEY RINK, UH, WHY NOT MAKE IT ALSO PARTS OF IT THAT CAN BE ACCESSIBLE FOR THE BASEBALL ACROSS THE, UM, THE BMX, UH, THE FLAG FOOTBALL, ALL THE OTHER ACTIVITIES WE HAVE THERE, THERE'S A, THE NEW PLAYGROUND THAT'S DONE THAT'S THERE IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO, NEEDS TO CHANGE THEIR BABY OR, OR TAKE THEIR KIDS INSIDE, HAVING A, A NICE, YOU KNOW, NEWER, UPDATED AREA WITH RESTROOMS WOULD BE GREAT.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO INCORPORATE THAT.
AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK SOME OF THE, THE DUE DILIGENCE, THE TIME AND EFFORT, THE PLANNING, IF WE DO IT RIGHT, UM, I WOULDN'T LOOK AT THIS AS JUST IMPROVING THE, THE, THE ICE ARENA, RIGHT? IT WOULD REALLY BE MAKING THIS, UM, KIND OF A MARQUEE LO, YOU KNOW, IT ALREADY IS OUR MARQUEE LOCATION, THE NIKE, THE, THE WHOLE COMPLEX 300 PLUS ACRES.
UH, BUT THIS WOULD KIND OF BE, UM, YOU KNOW, A NICE CENTRAL LOCATION THAT'S, THAT CAN GET USED A LOT MORE THAN IT IS NOW.
AND JUST IN A LOT MORE USER FRIENDLY, UH, MANNER.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A, LIKE A, A WELL DESIGNATED SPORTS COMPLEX AREA FOR HAMBURG BECAUSE, LIKE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SOFTBALL, YOU HAVE A NATIONAL SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT THAT COMES IN THERE THAT WE DROP PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE EAST COAST TO PLAY ON THOSE DIAMONDS.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO BRING THEM TO A FACILITY THAT WE WERE PROUD TO SHOW OFF AND OFFER THEM, UM, LIKE RESTROOMS AND SNACK AREA AND THINGS LIKE THAT VERSUS THE PORTA-POTTIES THAT THEY BRING IN FOR THAT TYPE OF FACILITY.
SO YEAH, THE, THE CONCESSIONS YOU BRING A GOOD POINT.
THE CONCESSION STAND IS ONE THING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN THIS PLAN THAT IF WE COULD HAVE, UH, A BIGGER, BETTER, YOU KNOW, UH, YEAR ROUND TYPE OF ABILITY TO, IT MIGHT HELP OFFSET SOME COST TOO.
ALRIGHT, ANYTHING ELSE ON ICE SER? UM, I'LL FIND, JUST KIND OF PIGGYBACKING OFF THAT IDEA, UM, I KNOW, I, I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY UPDATE WITH THE RESCUE PLAN FUNDING.
I KNOW THAT LAST YEAR BEFORE WE HAD THE CHANGE IN THE BOARD, THAT PROCESS WAS KIND OF BEING FACILITATED THROUGH MARKOWSKI.
HE WAS, WE'RE RELYING ON HIM FOR INTERPRETATION.
I JUST WANNA KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAD ANY UPDATES AS FAR AS WHERE THINGS ARE AT? YEAH, SO I CAN JUST REPORT THAT.
UM, I HAVE BEEN, UH, RESEARCHING, UH, RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDING WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR, PAT JAY.
UM, REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS, UH, FIGURE OUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE.
[00:30:01]
WAS NEW GUIDANCE THAT WAS THOSE RELEASED THIS PAST JANUARY.SO SOME THINGS ARE CHANGED WHERE YOU HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT, UH, THAT, THAT ARE NOW ELIGIBLE, WHICH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN.
UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS SPECIFIC TO, TO THE, TO THE TOWN OF HAMBURGER, TOWN OF OUR SIZE AND ADMINISTERING OF THESE FUNDS.
UM, YES, RIGHT NOW, UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, THE RESOURCES OF MARK MALKI AVAILABLE TO HELP US COORDINATE SOME OF THESE.
UM, AND I AM ALSO, UH, WORK, WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR, OUR FUNDING THAT REMAINS TO BE SPENT.
UM, AND I DO BELIEVE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, PAT, UH, MAYBE YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, WE HAVE, UH, UNTIL THE END OF 2024 TO HAVE OUR PLAN TO HAVE ALL THE, THE MONIES PLANNED AND THEN THEY HAVE TO BE SPENT BY 2027, UH, 20 26, 20 26 PLAN BY 24 SPENT BY 26.
SO THE NICE THING IS WE, WE HAVE SOME TIME, AND I WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF, OF HOW WE, HOW, HOW WE SPEND THESE DOLLARS, OF COURSE, UH, BRINGING INPUT FROM, FROM DEPARTMENT HEADS, FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, UM, I THINK THAT THAT LAST YEAR'S BOARD, UH, PICKED SOME NICE PROJECTS, UH, TO PUT OUT THERE AND, UH, AND LEFT, UH, A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT REMAINING.
SO, UM, I THINK THAT, UH, IN THE NEXT, I WOULD SAY MONTH OR SO, UM, PAT AND I WILL BOTH BE BETTER SITUATED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT, WHAT NEXT STEPS ARE FOR THAT.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, UM, IF, IF THERE ARE IDEAS THAT, THAT COME MM-HMM
THROUGH YOU OR FROM CONSTITUENTS, PLEASE UH, SEND THEM MY WAY AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET DUE CONSIDERATION.
COUNCIL MEMBER FARRELL, ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? THANK YOU.
THE FIRST IS THAT THE GATEWAY GRANT THAT WE HAD RECEIVED, UM, WE DID DO THE SELECTION OF LABEL, AND WE'LL BE HAVING OUR KICKOFF MEETING WITH LABA TOMORROW EVENING.
SO THAT COMMITTEE AND LABEL WILL BE MEETING TO GET THAT, THAT PROJECT ROLLING FOR THE $50,000 GRANT THAT WE RECEIVED.
UM, ALSO, I KNOW, UH, THAT I WANTED TO, UM, BY THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE, THE BOARD TO BE, HAVE A MORE, UM, INTENSIVE UPDATE ON WHERE WE STAND WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I SPOKE WITH MR. RILEY AND WE WOULD LIKE, UM, WE FEEL THAT WE PROBABLY TAKE A, AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF.
SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE ONE OF THE WORK SESSIONS AT AN UPCOMING MEETING SO THAT WE CAN, UH, CAREFULLY GO THROUGH THAT, MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF YOU UNDERSTANDS WHERE, UH, HOW THIS DEVELOPED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, WHERE WE STAND, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE INCORPORATING ANY THOUGHTS THAT, THAT YOU HAVE.
UH, BECAUSE THAT DRAFT, THE INITIAL DRAFT WILL BE COMING OUT SOON.
UM, SO ONE THOUGHT WE HAD WAS EITHER THE FEBRUARY 28TH OR THE MARCH 14TH MEETING, AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO BE BETTER ABLE TO AFFORD THAT TIME DURING A WORK SESSION SO THAT WE CAN AGAIN GIVE IT ITS, UM, THE TIME THAT WE FEEL IS NECESSARY SO THAT, UH, YOU CAN, UH, ASK ANY QUESTIONS, WE CAN GO OVER ALL THE SPECIFICS, ET CETERA.
UM, I, UH, I CERTAINLY SEE THE, UH, THE REASON TO PRIORITIZE THIS, I DO, I DID TALK TO, UM, A POTENTIAL PRESENTER FOR, FOR THE 28TH, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE LIKELY LESS THAN THAN 15 MINUTES.
UM, IF, IF YOU GUYS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT WE PRIORITIZE THIS FOR FEBRUARY 28TH, UM, THEN WE COULD JUST PROCEED.
I HAVE SOME NODDING HEADS HERE DOTH, SO WE'LL, WE'LL DO, WE'LL TAKE THAT UP ON THE 28TH.
I THINK YOU'RE SAYING YOU PREFER TO GO WITH THE EARLIER DATE? YES.
I'LL LET, UM, DREW KNOW THAT AND, UH, WE'LL ANTICIPATE USING THE WORK SESSION FOR A PRESENTATION.
DID YOU SAY THAT YOU HAD ANOTHER ITEM AS WELL, OR NO, YOU DISCUSSED THE GATEWAY? YES, EXACTLY.
UM, I DON'T, UH, NECESSARILY WANNA CALL SPECIFICALLY ON DEPARTMENT HEADS.
WE'LL DO THAT AT THE REGULAR, UH, TOWN BOARD MEETING, BUT IF A DEPARTMENT HEAD HAS SOMETHING THEY'D LIKE TO BRING UP TO THIS WORK SESSION, FEEL FREE TO RAISE YOUR HAND.
UM, CAN I JUST ASK A QUESTION? SURE.
UM, COUNCILMAN BETH OR COUNCILMAN FERRELL, WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET A COPY OF THE DRAFT PRIOR TO THE MEETING SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW IT BEFORE THE PRESENTATION? THE, THE DRAFT ITSELF MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE.
WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF OTHER DOCUMENTATION.
I'LL TALK WITH DREW AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET TO YOU, UH, AHEAD OF TIME.
UM, THERE'S SOME PIECES THAT MIGHT NOT MAKE AS MUCH SENSE WITH, WITHOUT THE PRESENTATION, SO LET ME, LET ME CHECK WITH HIM
[00:35:01]
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET AHEAD OF TIME TO YOU.UM, AND THEN I'LL MAKE SURE THAT'S EMAILED OUT.
UH, IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THE EMPLOYMENT HISTORY OF A PARTICULAR PERSON, SPECIFICALLY TO PARTICULAR PEOPLE.
OPPOSED? CARRIE, WE'RE GOING TO ADJOURN.
I DON'T KNOW IF, IF IF JENNY FILLED YOU IN.
BETH, SHE'S GONNA HOOK YOU UP IN TO GET YOU INTO CONFERENCE ONE.
