[00:01:28]
DEAR, UH, WOULD YOU PLEASE JOIN ME, UH, WITH THE PLEDGE OF THE FLAG, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COURT, WHICH NATION INVIS WITH LIBERTY FOR ALL? SO WE HAVE, UH, ONE ITEM ON THE AGENDA FOR THE WORK SESSION.
UH, AS, AS I'M SURE MANY FOLKS ARE AWARE, THIS TOWN BOARD HAS BEEN DEBATING, UH, IMPROVEMENTS AND UPGRADES TO OUR ICE ARENA AT THE, UH, NIKE BASE COMPLEX, UH, FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
AND, UH, WE HAVE, UH, AN UPDATE, UH, FROM MR. ESTONIA, FROM OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF JUST WALK THROUGH SITE, UH, PROJECT.
WHAT IS, UH, CURRENTLY GONNA BE DONE TO THE INSIDE
SO EVERYONE ELSE WE PUT OUT LAST HERE, UH, HERE'S A MAINTAIN, WHICH PIECE OF, KIND OF DECIDE WHAT THAT WAS DOING.
UH, THE BASIC WAS $1.285 MILLION, NOT JUST PURCHASE, UM, REFRIGERATION, EQUIP VENTING,
INSTALLATION OF, UH, REFRIGERATION.
UM, IT DIDN'T INCLUDE SOME OTHER COMPONENTS THAT WERE GONNA BE COVERED IN PHASE TWO.
UM, THE ROLE OF THIS
AND THIS IS MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, LAST FALL.
SO, UM, THE OTHER ALTERNATE IS ALSO DOING THE RIGHT FLOOR BUTING OF THE CONCRETE, UM, EVADING THE GLYCO THAT WAS IN THERE, UM, REMOVING ALL THAT AND THE
SO, UH, I'M JUST GONNA TOUCH BASE, LIKE HERE'S OUR DESIGN DRAWINGS AND, UH, THE FIRST ALL DRAWINGS ARE JUST BE THE DEMOTION DRAWINGS, SHOW EXACTLY THE LIMITS OF WHAT, YOU KNOW, SITTING DEMO.
AND THEN, SO HERE YOU CAN SEE THIS ATED AREA IS, UH, COPY FLOORING.
SO THAT'S GONNA BE, UM, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE GONNA BE SHUTTING OFF THE EQUIPMENT YOU GUYS ARE ING.
TAKE THE
ALONGSIDE OF THAT, THERE'S DEMO PLAN FOR WHAT'S INSIDE THE BUILDING.
SO THIS IS A PLAN VIEW, MECHANICAL ROOM.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THOSE THINGS THAT THERE'S THE DOORS AND THEN THE UPPER RIGHT PART.
NEXT POINT, THIS, THIS HERE IS
UH, THIS IS MECHANICAL EQUIP CONTROL PANELS SITE OR OPERATION EQUIPMENT.
THOSE ARE NOT TYPES THAT ACTUALLY KEEPS GROUNDWATER ON.
[00:05:01]
HERE'S OUR PUMPS OR ARE REFRIGERANT OR ARE, ARE COOL.THOSE, SORRY, THE REFRIGERANT.
THIS IS AMMONIA OVER LIGHT WALL SYSTEM.
AMMONIA IS THE REFRIGERATOR COMPRESSES BECAUSE THAT HERE
THIS, THIS IS THE CHILLER RIGHT HERE.
SO THAT'S THE SLIDES KIND GIVE YOU A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF BLOOD.
THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OUTSIDE THAT TANK IS WHAT POLE SETS IN THE COMFORT TANK.
AND IT PRETENDS ITS UP, UP, SIT ON SOME STRUCTURAL CEILING.
SO ALL THAT'S GONNA, UH, DEMO AS PART OF BASE BED.
AND THAT'S, THERE IS THE, THAT'S THE CHILLER THAT'S IN A BIG UNIT THAT'S INSTALLED, I THINK IN 97.
AND THAT'S WHEN THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S GETTING REMOVED.
AND THE PUBLIC PUMP SYSTEM FOR THE LIGHT, YOU DO PUT A SLIDE TO THAT, BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE, UH, THE BLUE OF THIS HERE.
THESE ARE THE MOTORS AND TURN PANTS, TURN PUMP BELT, THOSE, THE BELTS GO.
THAT'S WHOLE LOT OF BOX AND LUNG BELT, THICK, THICK SENSE.
THEY'RE JUST MORE, MORE ABOUT, UM,
HERE'S THE NEW SATELLITE ICE ISOLATE.
THIS IS THIS, YOU KNOW, SPECIFIES THE SUBGRADE, THE MESH, THE PIPING, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
ALSO NEW CONCRETE, ALL TUB DOORS.
UM, HERE, THE MECHANICAL RULE LAYOUT, YOU SEE THERE'S THE EVAPORATOR, THE CONDENSERS UNDERNEATH THAT MOVE THE TANK IN THE DOORS.
PUMPS ARE SMALLER AND MORE EFFICIENT.
UH, ELECTRICAL PANELS ARE BEING ALL BUILT.
THEY HAVE TO BUILD A VESTED UP HERE FOR CONTAINMENT.
THIS LITTLE CURVE AROUND THE SUMP IN CASE THERE'S A, UH, YOU KNOW, A BREACH OF AMMONIUM OR SOME OR LIGHT BULB.
IT WON'T GO INTO THE GROUNDWATER THAT'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE CAPTURED ON THE FLOOR TO BE ABLE TO TREAT IT WITH BETA.
HERE THERE ARE NEW COMPRESSORS, OBVIOUSLY SMALLER, MORE VISION, LESS POWER, UH, NEW CIRCULATION THAN EACH OTHER.
SO THE THING WE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO
SO ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE BIG CODE THINGS IS TO SAFETY, EQUIP THAT TO BE EYE WASH AND SHOWER IN CASE CONTAMINATED BY AMMONIA.
SO YOU GOTTA CUT FLOOR
I STUFF THAT DISSERVICE COMING IN, UM, TO THE PANELS, THE PANEL PRETTY OLD.
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A NEW, UH, NET CONTROL CENTER THAT ACTUALLY INVOLVE PROTECTION ON IT.
IT DOESN'T PAY NOW, SO THAT IF THERE'S ANY LACK OF LIGHTNING STRIKES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, IT'S
SO HERE'S THE SUPPORTIVE PHASE TWO IN INSTALLATION STUFF.
SO THESE ARE ITEMS REAL JUST SO OUT OF PHASE TWO, THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE NEEDED TO PULL OUT OF PHASE TWO IN ORDER TO MAKE PHASE ONE WORK, UH, VENTILATION IN THE REFRIGERATOR, UM, REFRIGERATION ROOM CODE BACK IN THE AIR POWERS INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE NEW
BUT I'D WATCH IT IF WE THOUGHT.
BUT THE STUFF LIKE THAT, WE ACTUALLY ARE NOT DOING THAT LIKE THAT UP B AND G ARE READY TO DO THAT INTERNALLY, PLUS LITTLE SMALLER THAT WE INSIDE INSTEAD OF TRYING THE COSTS AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE, UH, SEE THE SANITARY ING THAT SANITARY WASTE TIME BASICALLY TO COLLECT ANY THAT SPILL, UM, THE
SO THE NEW GOING ON A PAD IN THE BACK, THEY PUT A NEW ROOF MU PIPE SO THAT WE CAN GET MOISTURE, HOW THE AIR IN HERE AND IN HERE AND IN OUR, UH, MECHANICAL ROOM BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT, YOU'VE BETTER BEND IN THERE.
THE COOL REFRIGERATION PUMPS ARE COATED IN ICE AND THAT EXPOSE 'EM DOWN CAUSE 'EM TO CONTINUE TO WEAR OUT.
SO YOU CAN GET THE MOTOR OUT IN AIR.
THERE'LL BE LESS CONDENSATION,
AND THE DOCK NOT WORK FOR THE, UM, THE, UH, DEHUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM.
UH, UNIT CONTROLS WILL TEND TO BE KIND OF REWORKED BECAUSE ALL THE CONTROLS FOR THE,
[00:10:01]
FOR THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS GONNA BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM HERE.MY, UH, SORRY, I JUST SEEMED TO BOUNCE IT UP,
SO, UM, SO THERE HAD SOME RETOOLING OF SOME CONTROLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SOME, SOME DESIGN THAT, UM, HAD TO BE DONE.
SO WE'RE GONNA BUY THE TWO
UM, AND THEN I'LL, I'LL BE LEFT POWER.
SO, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT'S GOT TO BE DONE.
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW? IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
SO HERE'S OUR CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE.
THIS IS WHAT'S GOING, THIS IS GONNA HAPPENING.
NOW
IT'S ONLY GONNA ENHANCE THIS'S, NOT IF ANYTHING, WE DON'T THINK IT'S PRETTY THIS, SO, BUT HERE'S THE BULK OF THE WORK.
SO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, LIKE MAY, JUNE, JULY, YOU CAN SEE THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAPPENING.
UH, SO THAT'S WHEN CONSTRUCTION WILL BE REALLY WRAPPING UP.
SO WE'RE GONNA BE LIKE NEXT WEEK THEY'RE GONNA START DECONSTRUCTING EVERYTHING AND IT'LL TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO RAMP UP A BAY, HAVE THAT LIKE A COMPANY COMING, IT'S HAD MATERIALS, GOTTA BE
SO WE GET ALL THAT FLUSH OUT THEN ALL THE WAY, UM, AND THEN START DOING THE, UH, PREFAB ON SYSTEM, DOING THE PRE APPLICATIONS STRUCTURE, THE CONDENSER UP.
OUR NEW CONDENSER DOESN'T FIT ON THE STRUCTURE BY, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE INCHES.
IT'S ALL, YOU KNOW, IT'S A DIFFERENT SIZE, FOUR PLUS IT'S, YOU KNOW, 30 YEARS DIFFERENT.
SO WE REBUILD THAT, GET THAT FABRICATED, AND THEN STARTED SOLID LIKE IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY.
AND THAT'S LIKE THE BIG, THE BIG THING.
EVERYTHING ELSE WILL GO PRETTY, PRETTY QUICKLY.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE INSTALLATIONS THAT TAKE TWO MONTHS FOR JUST THE, THAT MONEY.
SO THAT THAT'S, AND THIS WILL ALL THE I'M IS THAT ALL THE WORKS WILL BE HAPPENING IN LIKE BACK AFTER OF JUNE, UH, BACK UP OF MAY, ALL OF JUNE OF JULY.
SO OUR INVOICES FOR THE PROJECT, LIKE THE BIG ONES, ONE OF 'EM WILL REALLY START.
WE EITHER FROM GENERAL FUND OR DEFUND SOURCES.
YOU GET FUND, YOU KNOW, FUND PAY FOR, THEY WON'T BE HITTING UNTIL JULY, AUGUST.
SO THAT'S WHERE THOSE BIG HEAVY PAYOFFS WILL BE COMING.
SO, YOU KNOW,
UM, AND THEN IF EVERYONE LOSE THIS PLAN, THE SYSTEM START IS, UH, LATE OUT SEPTEMBER.
AND WHEN I TALK TO THE CONTRACTOR, UM, THEY FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT AND HEY, LIKE THEY'RE STILL GOT FINGERS CROSSED FOR WHEN LIKE THE EQUIPMENT'S GONNA SHOW, BUT LIKE, LIKE THEY'RE GONNA START.
SO WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE CAN AND HELP 'EM ALONG THE WAY.
DO YOU READY FOR THE NEXT THINGS? SO THIS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO THE FACILITY.
I MEAN THIS IS, THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE, PUT NEW MOTOR IN YOUR CAR, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GETTING COMPLETELY BU MORE EFFICIENT SINCE, UM, UNDERNEATH WHAT WE GOT NOW.
AND UH, LIKE LAST TIME I WAS THERE, UM, WE HAD AN ONSET MEETING WITH THE CHIROPRACTOR AND THE COMPRESSOR WAS KICKING ON SO MUCH BECAUSE IT COULDN'T BUILD ENOUGH PS I INSIDE THE CONDENSER.
SO WE'RE IN THERE, THE COMPRESSORS ARE KICKING ON, SHUTTING OFF THE CONDENSER FIRE UP AND SAYING OKAY, ON THE NOSE KICK OFF BUG REPETITIVENESS THAT IT, IT'S FINE ITSELF.
IT TAKES A LOT MORE ENERGY TO, TO DO WHAT IT'S GOTTA DO.
BUT I MEAN, IF ALL TOGETHER GOOD OLD EQUIPMENT LAST A LONG TIME, 50-YEAR-OLD EQUIPMENT HOLDS UP.
SO, UM, THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION.
I WENT REALLY FAST AND I GOT, UM,
DID YOU WANNA JUST COMMENT FOR A MOMENT, ANA, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE, THE DASHER BOARDS AND THE DECISION TO YEAH.
UM, SO IN ORDER TO HOLD THIS
AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OLD BRI UM, ALL THEIR HARDWARE IS RUSTY AND THEIR, THEY'RE ROUGHED INTO THEIR, THEIR BASES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO PART OF THE PLAN, I MEAN THERE THERE HAS BEEN PROJECTS WHERE THEY'VE BEEN DECONSTRUCTED, STORED AND THEN REUSED.
BUT IN TALKING TO THE MANUFACTURER OF THAT
[00:15:01]
FIND, BUY NEW FOUNDATION, NEW OLD STYLE FOUNDATIONS AND RESET 'EM ALL WITH THE NEW CONCEPT, NEW CONCRETE CAME IN.AND THEN MOST LIKELY THERE WILL BE DAMAGE TO A LOT OF THE DASHBOARDS WHEN, WHEN WE GET 'EM PULL APART, UH, AND STORED.
SO IN, IN ORDER TO HIT THIS SCHEDULE, THE BEST PLAN, UM, WAS TO, WE'LL HAVE EMG DEMO 'EM AND WE'LL STORE IT SAFELY.
UM, I WOULD RECOMMEND WE DECLARE UN CERTAIN LESSON AND TRY AND AUCTION OFF SOMEONE MIGHT PICK THEM UP OR TO BUILD SMALLER RANK OR SOMETHING WE CAN RECOUP A LITTLE, UH, REVENUE FROM IT.
OR EVEN, EVEN MAYBE OF THE MANUFACTURER MIGHT BUY PARTS FOR SOME OTHER
SO IT'S LIKE WHEN, WHEN WE GOT OUR EARTH FLOW, IT WAS LIKE 330,000 OUT THE DASHBOARD.
WE KNOW THROUGH THE, SO WELL THEY'RE LIKE 2 77 AND WE, WE WILL SAY WE'LL HAVE $25,000 OFF BY DEMOING IT ALL OURSELVES AND THEN WE CAN, UM, SO YOU KNOW, HAVE THE OPTION TO OPERATE THE PLEXIGLAS FROM, FROM TEMPER GLASS TO PLEXI SO WE CAN GET A BRAND NEW, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.
YEAH, SO THE NEW DASHBOARD SYSTEM IN C SO THAT THING, WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING TOGETHER NEW EQUIPMENT, IT'LL GO TOGETHER QUICKER THAN TRYING TO REASSEMBLE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE TOO, THE CURRENT DASHBOARD SYSTEM, IF WE TRY TO KEEP IT AND THEN REINSTALL TO REPLACE ANY PARTS THAT ARE YEAH.
BROKEN OR DON'T SURVIVE OR IT'S SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE PRETTY CUMBERSOME AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT, AM I CORRECT TO UNDERSTAND THEY'RE NOT COMMONLY MANUFACTURED THE SIZE WE HAVE AND THE TYPE WE HAVE.
SO IT'S, IT IS LIKE WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANTIQUE PRODUCTS.
YOU HAVE TO MESS THE ANCHORS AND YEAH.
IT'S, IT'D BE QUITE AN UNDERTAKING.
THEY IS THERE, IS THERE, LIKE I THINK WHAT YOU WERE SAYING IS THAT 'CAUSE THEY'RE RUSTED IN, THEY GET DAMAGED WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO GET 'EM OUT.
HAVE GUNS I WAS TALKING TO, I MEAN, THANK YOU BY THE WAY FOR, I KNOW, 'CAUSE YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS EXTENSIVELY AND UM, YOU HAD DONE WHAT WE ASKED YOU TO DO, WHICH WAS TO PARSE THIS OUT FROM THE OTHER PROJECT, WHICH WOULD BE, WHICH DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T AT A LATER DATE DO THE OTHER THINGS, RIGHT.
UM, THE, UH, THE QUESTION I HAD ABOUT, UM, THERE'S LIKE PLEXIGLASS AND THERE'S THE TEMPERED GLASS.
AND I WAS SPEAKING WITH, UH, UH, COUNCILMAN, UH, FARRELL LOREN AND HER HUSBAND HAS A LITTLE BIT OF EXPERTISE IN SHARING BECAUSE
IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT SAFER IN MY EXPERIENCE.
IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING AS WELL? IT COST US A LITTLE MORE MONEY, BUT IT WOULD BE YEAH.
SAFER THAN A TEMPORARY CLASS
UM, THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW I'M GONNA BELIEVE THERE'S A LITTLE MORE GIVE TO IT.
AND HONESTLY, THE, THE UPGRADING ON IT WAS, UH, 36,000.
IS THAT WHAT 36 UPGRADE? YEAH.
I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE MONEY WE'RE SAVING BY ING IT OURSELVES AND POSSIBLY EVEN AUCTIONING OFF ING A LITTLE MONEY WITH WASH IT.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, I, I WOULDN'T WANNA SQUEEZE EVERY BIT OF REVENUE ON THOSE THAT WE GET DO IT.
I THINK WE'RE DO, I MEAN, I THINK, I THINK I FAVOR THE UPGRADE FOR THE PLEXIGLASS JUST BECAUSE IT'S SAFER FROM MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND THEN THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
THEN, UH, UH, BETH, UH, FARRAH LORENZO WAS SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, HER HUSBAND I THINK HAD GOT A HUNDRED STITCHES OR SOMETHING AT THE HUNDRED, UH, FROM GLASS.
YEAH, GLASS FROM THE, FROM THE TEAM HELMET AFTER THAT.
SO I SAY WE GO WITH THE LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE VERSION.
UM, THAT'S WHAT THE BOARD SAID.
UM, SO THE NEXT, THE NEXT BOARD MEETING IS WHEN I, WE'LL START HAVING RESOLUTION.
SO I REVIEW ALL IN, UM, WE'RE FOR THAT I'LL, I'LL PUT A RESOLUTION INTO AWARD, UH, SOURCE, WELL CONTRACT WITH UPGRADE FOR THE, THE GLASS, UM, RESOLUTION.
I MEAN, WE HAVE TO TALK TO THE REST OF THE BOARD.
THERE'S A LOT THAT EXCEPT THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR YOU GUYS I JUST CIRCULATED THIS AFTERNOON, WHICH JUST GOTTEN NUMBERS, I GUESS MAY NO FROM, YOU KNOW, OUR, UM, CONTRACTOR.
SO I, I'M ON THE BOARD TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ALL THAT AND DISCUSS IT AND, UM, YOU KNOW, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I'VE GONE THROUGH AND DONE PEER REVIEW.
UH, THERE, THE CHANGE ORDER IS, IS LIKE WE PUT A LOT OF WORK.
WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE ZOOMS. I'VE ONSITE MEETINGS, FOLLOWED UP WITH A TON OF
[00:20:01]
QUESTIONS.UM, I WENT THROUGH THE DRAWINGS WITH AND CHANGE ORDER ITSELF JUST TO SEE WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
UM, YOU KNOW, I I BELIEVE WE GOT ALL THE BASE COVERED.
I I'M A HUNDRED PERCENT
AND, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE'RE SAVING MONEY TOO BECAUSE THEY, WE GONE THE OTHER PLAN, THEY CHARGE 10% ON EVERYTHING.
SO BY DOING IT THIS WAY, YOU'RE ABLE TO SAVE MONEY IN ADDITION TO US DOING THE DEMO WORK OF THE BOARDS OR THE DASHBOARDS IN HOUSE.
SO WELL OVERSPENDING IT LESS BY NOT DOING THE WHOLE RENOVATION, THAT'S FOR SURE.
UM, AND BY DOING SOME OF THIS STUFF, WE, WE ARE TRYING TO, WE'RE DOING COSTS.
WE CAN, YOU KNOW, SO LET'S BOOKS MATERIAL, AND I KNOW IT'S EXTRA WORK FOR YOU TO TEASE THE, THE DASHER BOARD PROJECT OR PIECE OF IT OUT AND TO DO IT WITH THIS APPROACH, BUT IN THE END, I THINK WE'RE GONNA GET EVEN, EVEN MORE, YOU KNOW, NOW WE CAN ENTERTAIN THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THAT, UM, PLEXIGLASS, WHICH WOULD BE SAFER.
AND I KNOW IT WAS WORK ON YOUR PART, BUT IT ULTIMATELY ENDED UP SAVING MONEY, SO I APPRECIATE THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOU DOING WHAT WE ASKED YOU TO DO.
AND WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT THE OTHER PHASES TOO, AS FAR AS THE LOCKER ROOMS GO.
I KNOW WE HAVE THE PLANS ALREADY, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND, AND, AND YOU KNOW, LIKE WE, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT AND, AND LIKE THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN GOING ON.
WE ALWAYS, AND EVEN LAST YEAR BEFORE WE DID A PRESENTATION ON IT, IT WAS, UM, ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER TWO CONSTRUCTION CASES.
AND THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT, UM, THE URGE OF THIS JOB.
WHY, LIKE, WHEN WE BLESS YOU, THE, UH, FINDING OF THIS PROJECT WAS CRITICAL.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE WERE TRYING TO GET IT OUT ON THE STREET FROM BIDDING LIKE LAST YEAR, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE FUNDING IN PLACE AND WE DIDN'T HAVE THE DRAWINGS WERE BACK, YOU KNOW, SO BY THE TIME THE DRAWINGS GOT READY AND WE GOT, YOU KNOW, THE BOARD APPROVED ADVERTISING FOR IT AND FINANCING WASN'T CLEARED UP.
SO
SO THIS, AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT TO CLARIFY.
SO I KNOW, AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT, THAT YOU, UM, YOU KNOW, ELABORATED ON THAT PROCESS FOR ME WHEN WE WERE TALKING THAT THE, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THE LOCKER ROOMS WOMEN'S AREA WEREN'T PART OF THIS YEAR'S SCHEDULE ANYWAYS.
SO THIS WILL ADDRESS THIS YEAR'S SCHEDULE THAT WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL EVENT.
AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL, UM, UH, OTHER THAN THE TYPICAL DELAY MAYBE IN SOMETHING AR ARRIVING, WHICH COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWAYS, OTHERWISE YOU'RE ON SCHEDULE AS YOU WERE BEFORE.
WELL, YEAH, THAT'S, THAT WAS OUR PLAN.
UM, SO CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES ARE USUALLY RIGHT,
SO SAY WE AWARDED ALL THOSE FOUR CONTRACTS THAT WE, WE, UM, WE DON'T DO THE
NO, WE COULD, THOSE CONTRACTORS COULD COME BACK AND SAY THEY COULD PROVIDE A MORE ADVANCED ONE, BUT IT WASN'T HARD.
THEY COULD COME BACK AND SAY, OH, I CAN PUT AC CREW HERE IN THE DEMO TO DO THAT AND THAT.
BUT I MEAN, THAT, THAT'S A THUMBS DOWN.
AND I, I'M UNKNOWN AND I DEAL
SO I WOULDN'T WANNA SAY THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE DONE.
MAYBE SOMETHING, BUT THE BOTH PART WAS ALWAYS FIXING THIS.
FIRST, BECAUSE IT'S
BECAUSE WE HADN'T FIXED THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
THAT WAS, THAT WAS THE PLAN FROM THE GET GO.
AND THEN THE NEXT YEAR IT'S GONNA BE THE RENOVATION THE FOLLOWING SEASON.
AND THEN I, I THINK ONE THING I'D LIKE TO LOOK AT, BUT WE GOTTA LOOK AT THOSE PLANS THAT WE HAVE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT PHASE WHERE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, UH, THE LOCKER ROOMS, THAT WOULD OPEN UP TO THE ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE COULD DO IN HOUSE OR OTHER COST SAVINGS TO EXPLORE WITH SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THOSE DRAWINGS AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE, UH, WANNA TAKE A PART COMPONENT OF IT.
WE CAN DEFINITELY PUT A PACKAGE TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
OR NOT OPTIONS, BUT FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, WE DO HAVE A A WE DO HAVE A FEW MINUTES IF ANYBODY, UH, IT SEEMS LIKE THE BOARD'S QUESTIONS WERE, WERE ANSWERED.
ANYBODY FROM THE AUDIENCE HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT? UH, WE'LL START IN THE BACK.
UM, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS PROCESS, THE RANK PROCESS,
UM, HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONSIDERATION OR THOUGHT GIVEN TO, UM, LOOKING FOR USE BOARDS THAT MIGHT SAVE? BECAUSE WHEN NHL RINKS PUT IN NEW BOARDS, THEY HAVE TO SELL 'EM TO SOMEBODY
[00:25:01]
OR SOMEPLACE IN CANADA, WHATEVER, UM, NEW BOARDS WON'T BE ABLE TO FIT IN.IF IT'S AN NHL RINK, IT'S GONNA HAVE THE NHL GLASS, WHICH IS LEXI ANYWAYS.
UM, BUT MAYBE THAT'S AN AREA WHERE YOU COULD SAVE MONEY IN THAT SITUATION, UM, JUST TO LOOK OR USED USED BOARDS AND GLASS.
I KNOW AT CORLAND WHEN I WAS THERE, THEY HAD PURCHASED USED BOARDS AND USED GLASS FOR MONTREAL.
UM, AND THAT'S HOW THEY DID IT WITH THEIR STUFF.
SO THAT'S THE SUGGESTION THAT I WOULD THROW OUT THERE IN TERMS OF THE COST SAVING MEASURE.
UM, AND REMEMBER ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF PLEXI IS THE CLEANING THE GLASS HAS TO BE CLEANED.
IT CAN'T JUST SIT THERE, IT GETS ALL MARKED UP AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
SO THERE'S TONS PLEXI, IT IS SAFER, THE NUPLEX IS SAFER, BUT IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE CLEANED.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S, I MEAN, SO KEN, BEFORE, BEFORE YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION, I JUST WANT REPEAT IT FOR FOLKS WHO MAY BE VIEWING ONLINE.
THERE'S A GENTLEMAN HERE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE, HAS BEEN PART OF SOME ICE ARENA RENOVATIONS IN THE PAST WHERE THEY EMPLOYED USED DASHBOARDS, UM, FROM NHL HOCKEY TEAMS AND, AND OTHER ENTITIES.
AND HE JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO KEN'S ATTENTION AT NOT YEAH, IT'S, IT'S, I MEAN, WHY WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT IT? PLUS, JUST THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE, WE WOULDN'T GO WHO, YOU KNOW, COULD YOU USE THE MICROPHONE PLEASE? DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY? DO I KNOW ANYBODY THAT'S KNOWN? SURE.
DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO, UH, I MEAN, I KNOW FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE MY UNDERSTANDING AND I, I, UH, IN EAST AURORA, THEY HAVE AN OUTDOOR IN RINK AND THEY TOOK THE BOARDS THAT THEY USED FOR THE, UM, AND THEY HAD THE FIRST OUTDOOR WINTER CLASSIC WAS AT BILL STADIUM THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE DONATED, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THOSE BOARDS WERE USED FOR ONE GAME.
RIGHT? I MEAN, BUT IS THERE, UM, I DON'T KNOW.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INSIDE KNOWLEDGE? I GUESS INSIDE KNOWLEDGE I GUESS IS A GOOD IDEA.
YOU KNOW, IF IT, IF THERE'S SOMETHING, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY PUT, THERE'S WINTER CLASSIC BOARDS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE FROM SOME OTHER GAME OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW.
WELL, I THINK IT'S, WE HAVE USE BOARDS.
IF I DON'T, I WOULD REUSE OUR BOARDS IF, IF WE WERE GONNA DO THAT AND JUST FIX THE ONES THAT ARE BROKEN RATHER THAN BUYING SOMEBODY ELSE'S USED STUFF.
BUT THEY THINK TRYING TO, TRYING TO REBUILD SOMEBODY ELSE'S USE BOARDS.
I COULD TRY AND REBUILD OURS, BUT I, I, I DON'T EVEN WANNA GET INTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S WHY, YOU KNOW? WELL, I THINK IT'S JUST IN A, IN, AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD POINT, BUT IL REPLACED
LIKE I KNOW SOMEBODY IN NEW YORK AT THE SA OLD BOARDS, WHEN THEY WENT FROM THE ODD TO KEY BANK, THEY GOT SAVERS, OLD BOARDS.
I GOT A NARROW, I GOT JUST, I GOT A NARROW CONSTRUCTION WINDOW.
THAT'S WHAT I'M WORKING, THAT'S WHY THE NEW BOARD IS MY RECOMMENDATION.
I ORDERED, I NEED HEARING THEN INSTALL RATHER THAN TRYING TO SEARCH THE BOARD.
YOU KNOW, IT JUST, YEAH, I, I UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T MIND SPEND THE MONEY HERE.
I I, I, I SAID I WAS AT MORRIS WHEN THEY BUILT NEW RINKS, SO I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS BEFORE, PUTTING IN FLOOR ALL THAT NONSENSE.
I, I, AGAIN, I WAS JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY IN THE, OR SOMEBODY MIGHT BE PLANNING ON GETTING STOPPED THIS YEAR.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA, BUT, UM, I I, I'M, EXCUSE ME IF I'M SPEAKING OUTTA TURN.
UM, I, I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS, IS WHEN YOU ANCHOR THEM, ANCHOR THE BOARDS IN, IF, IF, IF ONE OF THE BOARDS BREAKS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT'LL MATCH.
OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO BE DIGGING UP THE CONCRETE AND THEN AND PUTTING NEW ANCHORS IN.
YEAH, I, I'VE NEVER SEEN, WELL, I DON'T WANNA SAY THAT.
I THINK WITH THE NEED NEW DEHUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM THAT WILL HELP TAKE AWAY AWAY A LOT OF THE MOISTURE THAT CONDENSES ON THE FLOOR AND CONDENSES ON THE BOLTS AND THEREFORE TOSSES THOSE THINGS TO BREAK, LIKE, I MEAN, I WALK AROUND, I CAN SEE WHERE THE BOARDS HAVE BEEN WELDED TOGETHER TO THE FLOOR AND ALEXA.
UM, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN BOLTS BREAK OFF WHERE THEY COULDN'T BE REPLACED, JUST TAPPED INTO AND PUT A NEW BOLT IN THERE.
SO I KNOW THAT THEY DID THAT WITH SOME OF THE BOARDS AT PORTLAND.
UM, I THINK THAT THE, THE BOARDS AT MORRIS LOW ARE PROBABLY 20 YEARS OLD THAN THEY'VE NEVER BROKEN WITH THEM.
SO I I MEAN IT CAN'T, IT IT'S NOT THAT IT CAN'T HAPPEN.
IT'S JUST THAT A LOT OF FRANK'S THEY THANK YOU.
THEY, THEY, THAT'S HOW IT FITS.
WHAT WAS YOUR NAME, SIR? UH, MY NAME'S EARL.
[00:30:05]
ANN.YEAH, I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION,
WHEN YOU MENTIONED JEN'S GONNA BRING THE MIC.
OH, I HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE BOARD.
WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, UM, IF YOU REUSE NO AWARDS AND FINDING THE PARTS, FINDING PARTS, BUT THE POINT WE DIDN'T TOUCH ON THERE WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT WAS ALSO HOW THAT PUSHED BACK THE SCHEDULE, WHICH I ASSUME IT WOULD DO IF YOU HAD TO GO OUT LOOKING FOR PARTS TO REUSE, YOU KNOW, BOARDS.
AND I JUST THINK THAT, THAT, THAT'S IMPORTANT.
THE PORT, FORGET THAT WE'RE GONNA TRY TO REBUILD THOSE OLD BOARDS.
IT COULD VERY WELL
THANK YOU FOR BUILDING THAT UP.
THANK YOU DAVE VAN GOVERNMENT.
I, I JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND, CLARIFY, YOU'RE GONNA DO THIS NOW, THE PROJECT IS A GO, RIGHT? YOU'RE GONNA START THE UPGRADES ON MONDAY THE 15TH AFTER WE'RE DONE WITH OUR TRYOUTS.
UM, BUT DID I HEAR, SO KEN, I THINK IT WAS, YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT A BOND ISSUE.
I MEAN, ARE ARE WE GOOD? I MEAN, ARE WE GONNA BE IN A POSITION AND IN TWO MONTHS WHERE YOU GUYS DOWN, WE'RE NOT GONNA FINANCE IT AND NOW WE GOT NO RING AT ALL? I MEAN, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE AT GO PROJECT STARTING ON THE 15TH.
WE HAVE NOT DECIDED AS A BOARD HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
RIGHT? BUT IT IS A GO, THE PROJECT STARTING, WE HAVE A RESOLUTION FROM LAST YEAR THAT AUTHORIZED $2.2 MILLION, UM, BUT IT'S GONNA COST MORE THAN $2.2 MILLION FOR THE PROJECT THAT MR. ESTONIA OUTLINED.
THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU A WARM AND FUZZY, UH, I MEAN,
WE'RE GONNA SPEND $3.5 MILLION AND YOU GUYS WILL HAVE A PLACE TO PLAY NEXT TO, I HAVEN'T HEARD WHO SAY THAT YET.
DO RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAH.
SO MEAN, RIGHT NOW, THE PLAN IS THERE'S FUNDS TO PAY FOR THIS.
WE DON'T WANT TO DEPLETE THE COPPERS OR, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS COULD BE BOARD'S GONNA WORK.
SO THEY'RE GONNA COME UP THAT THEY WANT TO DO IN ORDER TO PLACE TO DO IT CASE MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE TIME TO DEVELOP THE RIGHT PLAN THAT THIS BOARD WANTS TO APPROVE TO PAPER.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.
WE HAVE TO YOU THROUGH THIS CHANGE ORDER, WE HAVE TO STOP THIS CHANGE ORDER AND ORDER AGAIN.
I'M GONNA HAVE BOTH
NOW, THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I THINK I CAN DO, IS MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS.
SO WE DO HAVE THE FUNDS TO, TO PAY FOR IT, BUT THE BEST WAY TO PAY FOR IT IS GONNA GET THEM, THEY WANT BORROW AND, AND OR TAKE IT FROM OUR POLICE
SO IF MOVING FORWARD IT'S HAPPENING, WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
WE HAVE TIME TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS MOVING FORWARD, AND WE'LL MAKE THOSE IN THE NEXT MEETING AND GOES, I, I CAN'T MAKE NO, I UNDERSTAND.
THIS HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED, THIS IS HAPPENING.
I HAVE A PLAN TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AUTHORIZED UNTIL NEXT MEETING.
AND THEN THEY MAKE, THEY STILL HAVE TIME TO MAKE THE DECISIONS ON HOW THEY THANKS KIM.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS, UH, THE, UH, ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FOR THE SENIOR CENTER AS WELL AS A PERSONNEL MATTER.
SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR? IS THERE OTHER LITIGATION TOO THAT I THINK, I'M NOT SURE WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO GET TO THAT BEFORE THE BOARD MEETING STARTS, BUT WE CAN RE ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION AFTER THE BOARD MEETING CONCLUDES, PROVIDED THAT IT DOESN'T GO TO 11 O'CLOCK, I WOULD ASK THAT IF WE DO, DO WE HAVE A, DO WE HAVE A, AN AFFIRMATIVE? EVERYBODY VOTED? YEP.
[01:36:45]
HI[01:36:45]
FOLKS.[01:36:46]
WE'RE[01:36:46]
GONNA[01:36:46]
CALL[01:36:46]
THE[01:36:46]
ORDER[01:36:47]
THIS[01:36:47]
MEETING[01:36:47]
THE[01:36:47]
HAMBURG[01:36:47]
TOWN[01:36:48]
BOARD.WE HAD A COUPLE PRESSING MATTERS TO DISCUSS THAT RAN A LITTLE BIT OVER IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I WOULD ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLE SUPERVISOR HOPE PRESENT.
COUNCIL MEMBER CAROL ETTE HERE.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU ALL TO, UH, JOIN ME TO STAND TO FOR THE BUDGET, THE FLAG, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVIDUAL WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE GROW.
ALRIGHT, SO WE HAVE, UH, NOT TOO BIG OF AN AGENDA THIS EVENING.
UH, WE ARE FIRST GONNA GO THROUGH ALL THE AGENDA ITEMS, UH, ONCE WE MAKE A MOTION.
AND THAT'S SECONDED IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THOSE ITEMS. UH, THERE TYPICALLY MIGHT BE SOME DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD.
UH, BUT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SPEAKING ON ANY ITEMS, YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND STAND, COME TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM, UH, IF THERE'S SOMETHING PARTICULAR THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON, WE DO HAVE A SIGN IN SHEET.
UH, WE ASK THAT YOU SIGN YOUR NAME AND JUST MAYBE, UH, INDICATE THE ITEM THAT YOU'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.
WE ALSO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AS WELL.
UM, SO IF YOU'RE HERE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, YOU CAN SIGN THAT SHEET.
ONCE WE GET THROUGH ALL THE AGENDA ITEMS, UH, WE WILL THEN OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC EXPRESSION AND THAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO SHARE WHATEVER THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE, ASK WHATEVER QUESTIONS THEY WOULD LIKE TO ASK OF THE BOARD.
UH, WHAT WORKS WELL IS IF YOU CAN ADDRESS THE BOARD IN LESS THAN THREE MINUTES.
UM, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO AWAIT RESPONSES DURING THE REPORTS FROM THE BOARD OR ONE-ON-ONE AFTERWARDS.
AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS GOING BACK AND FORTH.
UH, THE RE MEETINGS RUN A LOT FASTER AND SMOOTHER.

I'D LIKE TO OFFER AN AMENDMENT SECOND.
I GOTTA MAKE A MOTION AND THEN WE NEED A SECOND.
I'LL MAKE A SECOND SO WE CAN MOVE ON.
ALRIGHT, UH, YES, I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT WE, UH, IN THE FIRST, WHEREAS WE INCLUDE SBL PARCELS 180 2 0.0 7 1 11, UH, SBL 1 8 2 0.071 SVL 180 2, 8 S 89, AND SV 80 AND THEN ELIMINATE THE SECOND AND THIRD WHEREAS THERE'S AN, UH, THE NEXT WHEREAS NEEDS AN AND AT THE END.
UH, AND THEN IN THE NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED IN NUMBER TWO IT WOULD OMIT UM, THE SENTENCE THAT READS THE TOWN BOARD ALSO PROPOSES AND GOES RIGHT THROUGH TO C TWO AND INSTEAD IT WOULD ADD THOSE FIVE SBL NUMBERS I STATED IN THE FIRST, WHEREAS WOULD GET ADDED ON SO THAT, UM, IT'S ALL 15 PARCELS AS IN THE FIRST, WHEREAS INSTEAD OF 10 PARCELS, I WOULD SAY 15.
AND THEN I'D ALSO LIKE TO AMEND THAT WE HAVE TWO OTHER PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT ARE SLATED TO BE ON MAY 6TH.
AND SO I'D LIKE TO, UH, SUGGEST THAT WE MOVE, UM, I KNOW CINDY IN LEGAL SAYS WHEN WE HAVE THAT MANY PUBLIC HEARINGS ON ONE EVENING, IT'S DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE NATURE OF THESE THREE THAT WE MOVE THE DATE OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING TO MAY 20TH.
[01:55:01]
THE PARCELS THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD? YES, TO THE DISTRICT, IT WOULD BE, IT'S BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING, UM, BOARD THAT WE RECEIVED.UH, WE ASKED FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE THOSE DESCRIPTIONS WORKED ARE ALSO INCLUDED, WHICH RESOLVED THAT ISSUE IN TERMS OF CREATING ANY, UM, UM, SITUATIONS WHERE THEY WERE NO LONGER PROPERLY ZONED OR MOVES THE PROBLEM OF NOT INCLUDING ALL FIVE OF THESE WITH THE OTHER 10 PARCELS SO THAT THE AREAS CONSISTENT THAT THE IDEA BEHIND CREATING THE CAMP ROAD INTERCHANGE WAS THAT IT JUST, THAT WAS A CONSISTENT, UM, PIECE OF PROPERTY IT WOULD ELIMINATE IN THE LOWER CORNER, UM, WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT ZONINGS.
IT, I THINK ALIGNS ITSELF BETTER WITH THE GATEWAY PLAN THAT WAS COMPLETED.
AND WITH THE INTENT OF HAVING A CAMP ROAD INTERCHANGE ZONING AREA, UH, COULD YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT THE CURRENT PARCELS ARE FUNCTIONING IS? I I WASN'T ABLE TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE SBL NUMBERS THAT, I'M SORRY.
YOU WERE SAYING IT'S THE ONES THAT ARE, IT'S, IT WOULD BE THE ONES THAT ARE LABELED AS HAMBURG HOTEL, LLC, CAMBRIDGE HOSPITALITY, LLC, WOLFSBURG HOLDINGS, LLC 3 6 3 3 COMMERCE PARKWAY, LLC AND 57 48 SOUTH PARK AVENUE LLC WOULD NOW BE INCLUDED WITH THE OTHER 10 PARCELS.
SO THAT THEY WOULD ALL BE CRI AND WITH THE NEW DEFINITIONS, THERE'S NO CONFLICT FOR ANY OF THOSE PARCELS TO BE INCLUDED, UM, IN THE CRI.
SO HOTELS WOULD BE PERMITTED IN THE CRI THEY'RE IN THE DESCRIPTION.
UM, WHEN I CONSULTED WITH THE PLANNER, THERE WOULD BE NO, UM, ISSUES GOING FORWARD.
IT'S THEIR ORIGINAL, UH, AND IT'S WHAT THE PLANNING, PLANNING, PLANNING BOARD SUGGESTED THAT WAS.
IT GOES BACK TO WHAT THEIR SUGGESTION TO US WAS.
SO, WELL I JUST WANTED, I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM, UH, BECAUSE WE'VE, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS AND I BELIEVE THE COUNTY WEIGHED IN ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL, HAVING CONCERNS ABOUT, UM, NOT ALLOWING, UH, HOTELS.
BUT I, JOSH, COULD YOU CONFIRM THAT, UH, HOTELS WOULD BE IN ALLOWABLE USE IN THE CAMP ROAD INTERCHANGE DISTRICT? SO FOR THIS DISTRICT, WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST TIME WAS, UM, THE REASON WHY WE EVEN PUT THIS REVOLUTION IN BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS CONTENTIOUS THAT WE WOULD TAKE OUT THESE PROPERTY BECAUSE HOTELS AND MOTELS SPECIFICALLY ARE NOT GOING OUT IN SIERRA I DISTRICT.
UM, AND WHAT SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ASKED FOR US TO DO WAS TO COME UP WITH DEFINITIONS.
UM, SO PART OF THE ZONING TAX AMENDMENT THAT'S IN THIS RESOLUTION IS FOR
YOU SEE THAT DEFINITION IS NOW, UH, WE'VE INCLUDED THAT DEFINITION INTO THIS, UH, PROPOSED ZONING.
UM, ONE THING THAT, AND I TALKED
UH, BECAUSE RESORT COMPLEX REALLY DOESN'T DESCRIBE, AT LEAST THESE HOTELS THAT ARE IN THIS AREA, DOESN'T, UH, IN MY OPINION, DOESN'T ENCAPSULATE WHAT THEY REALLY ARE.
UM, SO WE WOULD SUGGEST ON TOP OF NOT ONLY ADDING THE RESORT COMPLEX DEFINITION TO THE CRI DISTRICT, WE INCLUDE HOTEL MOTEL PERMIT.
UM, SO THAT'LL, THAT'LL THAT'LL UH, CAUSE EVERYTHING THAT, BUT ISN'T THAT ALREADY COVERED BY THE DEFINITION THAT WAS PUT IN THERE? I THINK WHEN, WHEN I SPOKE WITH MR. RILEY AND I KNOW YOU WERE THERE, I THINK THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS DISCUSSED TO MAKE SURE THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ISSUE, POTENTIAL ISSUE GOING FORWARD.
UM, I THINK, SO THE RESORT COMPLEX DEFINITION THAT WE PUT IN THERE, UM, IT SAYS IT'S A WHOLE LODGING FACILITY, WHICH I'LL TELL YOU, BUT TO HELP FURTHER CLARIFY THINGS, IT PROBABLY BE WORTH JUST INCLUDING HOTELS AND HOTELS AND CI DISTRICT A LONG WITH THE DEFINITION.
THAT'S A AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE SUGGESTING THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION BACK WHEN, UM, THIS WAS CREATED THOUGH.
AND I WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO DO THAT IF IT'S, IF IT'S NOT CREATING A PROBLEM BY ADDING THAT ADDITIONAL DEFINITION.
I'M NOT SURE RIGHT NOW WE CAN REVISIT THAT LATER.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT NOW, I'D BE RELUCTANT TO ADD HOTEL MOTO MO MOTEL BECAUSE THAT WAS A BIG PART OF THE CONVERSATION WHEN THE CRI WAS CREATED.
AND I THINK THE ISSUE FOR THESE EXISTING PARCELS, UM, AS I BELIEVE WAS SAID TO ME THIS MORNING IS RESOLVED WITH, UM, THE ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS THAT WERE PUT IN THERE.
SO I'M, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THE ISSUE RESOLVED WITH THE, WITH THE DEFINITION.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE RESORT COMPLEX DEFINITION? CORRECT.
YEAH, BECAUSE I MEAN HOLIDAY EXPRESS WITH A CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST, I, I DON'T SEE HOW THAT MEETS THE DEFINITION OF, OF A RESORT COMPLEX.
UM, THE, WE WERE ASKED TO SPECIFICALLY, WE WERE ASKED TO COME UP WITH THE DEFINITION FOR RESORT COMPLEX.
UM, THAT'S WHAT, UH, THE DEFINITION CAN SEE THAT'S, UH, ATTACHED TO, UM,
[02:00:01]
THE RESOLUTION IS WHAT WE PICKED UP WITH.UM, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT CODE ENFORCEMENT.
WE FELT THAT, UM, THAT DEFINITION WOULD ENCOMPASS ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE, UH, CONGRESS PLACE.
SO, SO IT DOESN'T CREATE A PROBLEM FOR THEM.
IN OTHER WORDS, SO JOSH, PRIOR TO THIS REZONING BEING ACCEPTED TO, UM, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN, I WAS LOOKING AT THE HOTEL DEFINITION AND THE MOTEL DEFINITION.
BOTH OF THEM STATE THAT THE LODGING IS PROVIDED PRIMARILY FOR TRANSIENT GUESTS.
THAT LANGUAGE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RESORT COMPLEX.
AND IF IT IS THE RESORT COMPLEX IS REALLY A COMBINATION AND ENCOMPASSES HOTELS AND MOTELS, THAT PROBABLY SHOULD BE PART OF THE LANGUAGE AS WELL.
SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING WE'RE INCLUDING THAT FULL SERVICE LODGING FACILITY THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO OR OFFERS A WIDE RANGE AMENITIES AND ACCOMMODATIONS, UM, PROVIDED PRIMARILY FOR TRANSIENT GUESTS.
'CAUSE THAT'S IN BOTH HOTEL AND MOTEL AND I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT'S NOT IN THERE THEN IT'S ESSENTIALLY BECOMING A TOWNHOUSE.
SO IT'S, SO YOU'RE SAYING, SO IT'S, UM, THE CONDITIONS ARE THE SAME.
IT'S FOR PEOPLE MAKING RIGHT RESERVATIONS AND SHORT.
IT'S LIKE SHORT-TERM RENTALS THAT IF WE DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING IN THERE SAYING IT WAS A, FOR TRANSIENT GUESTS FOR SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
SO THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT IN ALL THREE DEFINITIONS.
OTHERWISE THERE'S REALLY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND LIKE A UPSCALE TOWN HOME COMPLEX, WE DO THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO BE CONSISTENT ACROSS ALL THE DEFINITIONS.
SO WAS WAS THAT, WAS THAT ADDED WAS IS THAT AN A AMENDMENT THAT COULD BE PART OF THE AMENDMENT ALSO AND THAT IS IN THE LAST, IT'S, OH, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
IT'S THE VERY LAST DEFINITION.
JUST BE OH, ON, UH, LIFTED THE SAME, LIFTED RIGHT OUT OF FROM MOTEL AND HOTEL.
THOSE WHERE SIX WORDS, IT SAYS, YEP.
LODGING IS PROVIDED PRIMARILY FOR TRANSIENT GUESTS, LODGING FOR COMPENSATION PROVIDED ONLY FOR TRANSIENT, TRANSIENT GUESTS FOR COMPENSATION.
AND THAT'S THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE THAT'S IN HOTEL AND THE MOTEL.
SO JUST FOR SHEER CONSISTENCY.
SO WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED.
DO WE, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? AND AS FAR AS THE TIMING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT AS FAR AS, BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THREE AT THE NEXT MEETING.
AND I THINK WITH THE MAILINGS THAT HAVE TO GO OUT FROM LEGAL, ET CETERA, IT WAS IN CONSIDERATION OF, UM, THEIR CHALLENGES THAT WE DO TWO WITH THE NEXT MEETING.
AND, AND ONE THE FOLLOWING IS THAT CHANGE THE DATE.
SO I, I DID, I CHANGED IT TO MAY 20TH, SO I, SO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE AMENDMENT.
I HAVE BEEN IN THE AMENDMENT AND I HAVE A COPY FOR THE TOWN CLERK.
OKAY, SO ALL IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED? ABSTENTIONS CARRIED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION.
OPPOSED? DO WE HAVE A SECOND ON THAT ORIGINAL? YES.

IS THAT THE CUSTOM? YEAH, THAT'S RETURN.
WE HAVE A, TYPICALLY THE DEPARTMENT'S REFUNDED AND THE CODE REVIEW COMMITTEE DOESN'T RECOMMEND THEM TO MOVE FORWARD TO APPLICATION.
I JUST, I DON'T THINK IT, IT ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY HIT A BUDGET LINE.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET LINE TO TAKE IT OUT.
UH, PAF YOUTH RECREATION AND SENIOR SERVICES BE IT RESOLVED AT THE TOM BOARD OF FOOD DETERMINATION AND HIRING OF PERSONNEL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH RECREATION AND SENIOR SERVICES AS FOLLOWS.

ALRIGHT, THAT BRINGS US TO THE, THAT BRINGS US TO THE PUBLIC EXPRESSION PORTION OF THE MEETING.
UH, IF YOU CAME TO, TO SPEAK OR IF YOU HEARD SOMETHING HERE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO COME TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM IF YOU'RE ABLE.
UH, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE USE THE MIC, TELL US YOUR NAME AND, UH, AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
UH, MY NAME IS DR. PAUL NATALIE.
SOME OF YOU, CHRIS, FOR THE, THE LAST YEAR I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A NUISANCE LATE COMPLAINT TAKEN CARE OF.
UH, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR.
UH, DOVAN WORK CAME OUT OF MY OTHER COMPLAINT, WHICH WAS ON WORK.
THE PROPERTY OWNERS BEHIND ME HAVE TWO SPOTLIGHTS DIRECTED OUT MY HOUSE, UM, THAT LATE COMES INTO MY KITCHEN, BATHROOM, BEDROOM CLEANS YOU OPEN THE FRONT DOOR THERE.
MR. NIKKO FOUND EM TO BE, UM, IN VIOLATION OF CODE 1 55, PARAGRAPH OF THREE B, C, AND D.
IT WAS THEN GIVEN TO PAUL TO HANDLE, I CONTACTED HIM, UM, HE SAID, SENT SOME PHOTOS.
I SENT PHOTOS, SAID OBVIOUSLY YOUR PROBLEM SO THAT WE CAN ROLL BACK AND FORTH FOR ABOUT A YEAR.
AND I SAID, HOW IS IT THAT ONE PERSON IN THE BUILDING INSPECTOR AND THE PROBLEM THAT THESE PEOPLE ACTUALLY RECEIVE A LETTER SAYING YOU'RE IN VIOLATION.
MR. RE SAYS, THERE'S NO PROBLEM.
I SAID, WHY YOU FIND OUT MY PROPERTY? HIS RESPONSE WAS VERY DISTURBED.
'CAUSE HE SAID, I DON'T GET PAID OVERTIME AND THERE'S TOO MUCH PAPERWORK.
I THEN REMINDED HIM THAT IT WORKS FOR ME AS A TAXPAYER.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT HIS DISCOMFORT.
YOU, FRANK, I HAVE SENT YOU EMAILS, I HAVE SENT YOU HARD TIMES.
I JUST WANTED A SIMPLE MEETING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS LIGHT SITUATION WAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF.
NONE OF YOU WOULD RESPOND TO ME.
PAUL REESE ACTUALLY SAID IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR THAT YOU, MRS. BERG WENT TO THE PROPERTY AND
[02:20:01]
YOU DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM.BUT NOBODY CAME TO MY PROPERTY TO SEE THAT HOW INTO MY HOUSE AS A TAXPAYER.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS WAS STILL GOING ON A YEAR LATER.
WHY DID, IT'S A SIMPLE PROBLEM.
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS DIRECT THE PLACE DOWN TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHY I'M THE TAXPAYER.
THE BUILDING INSPECTOR WORKS FOR ME.
NOBODY WILL COME BUT PROUD ME SAFELY.
I ASKED MR. KUIA IF CAN, UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US? YEAH, I INCLUDE THIS PROPERTY.
ME TAKING PHOTOS FROM THIS PROPERTY.
THE PHONE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER FOUND NO VIOLATION OF THE LIE.
SHE'S TOLD YOU THAT MULTIPLE TIMES.
THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS GOING BACK AND FORTH.
JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET THE ANSWER YOU WANT DOESN'T MEAN NO ONE'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU.
SORRY, THAT, THAT YOU'RE NOT HAVE THIS SITUATION GOING ON.
BUT THERE'S NO CODE VIOLATION.
BUT WHY, WHY DID MR. ER SEND A LETTER TO THEM SAYING NO, IT WAS A CODE VIOLENCE AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS, I DON'T GET THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAPPENED, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT CODE AN OFFICER THAT WAS ASSIGNED, HOW HE ADDRESSED IT.
BUT, BUT NOBODY'S COME TO MY PROPERTY.
THAT'S YOUR PROPERTY PHOTOGRAPHS.
WHEN, WHEN NOBODY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY NOTICE THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HERE.
WELL SEND IT TO YOU AGAIN TOMORROW.
THE ONLY TIME ANYBODY CAME WAS BILL BON AND I TRIED TO TALK TO VARIOUS MEMBERS IN COURT ABOUT THIS SO NOBODY WOULD GET BACK.
SO THAT, THAT CONCERNS ME THAT IT'S A TIME FAIR.
I I CAN'T EVEN GET A SIMPLE CONVERSATION.
AND I KNOW THE CLERK LIKELY RECORD IS YOUR NAME, BUT I, I DIDN'T CATCH IT.
AND, AND THIS SITUATION, I, 'CAUSE I'VE, I'VE HEARD A LOT OF LIGHT COMPLAINTS, BUT I, I DON'T RECALL HEARING FROM YOU.
I SENT YOU HARD COPIES OF MATERIAL AND I EMAILED YOU TO AS WELL.
UH, YEAH, I FIRST NAME'S PAUL.
LAST NAME IS L-U-B-I-E-N-E-C-K-I.
I'LL, I'LL, IT'S, I'LL, I'LL WHATEVER RECORD, I'LL SEARCH MY INBOX AND, UH, I'M SURE IT'LL COME UP.
BUT NOBODY, THE ONLY PERSON FROM THE BUILDING INSPECTOR THAT CAME TO MY PROPERTY WAS JOE NIK.
AND I'D NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU'D LIKE TO VISIT YOUR PROPERTY OR WE WORK HERE.
I STILL HAVE THE LIGHT THAT COMES INTO MY HOUSE, WHICH VIOLATES THE CODE.
SO, MR. KUIA, COULD YOU COMMENT ABOUT THE QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED, UM, ABOUT THE ABILITY TO ANGLE A LIGHT SO IT DOESN'T, THE THE LIGHTS ARE ON THE SECOND STORY OF THE PROPERTY THAT HE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT.
THEY DON'T ILLUMINATE PAST THE, THAT THAT'S NOT TRUE.
THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT WE'VE WOULD EVEN ENFORCED.
SO THERE'S NO REPORTS OF VIOLATION THERE.
AND I'M SORRY YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE ANSWER.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT IT.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN, THESE AREN'T LITTLE GOALS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOUR FRONT, YOUR NEIGHBOR TO CIVIL COURT, BY ALL MEANS GO AHEAD TO DO THAT.
BUT THERE'S NO VIOLATION THAT WE'RE GONNA COURT.
IT'S NOBODY'S BEEN THERE OTHER THAN JOE BOND COURT.
SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HERE.
I, WHEN DID YOU SEND THE EMAILS, SIR? UM, I'VE SENT EMAILS.
WELL, I, I THINK THAT, THAT WE ALL WOULD BE WELL SERVED ALL THE TOWN BOARD MEMBERS TO, TO LOOK BACK AT OUR INBOXES AND, AND RESPOND TO YOUR INQUIRIES.
AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THAT, UH, WE DO WORK FOR YOU AND MR. CUSTO IN THE BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT DO WORK FOR US.
NOW, TYPICALLY, I FULLY SUPPORT THEIR DECISIONS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THEY DO GOOD WORK DOWN THERE.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T GO TO YOUR HOUSE WHEN IT'S DARK TO CHECK IT OUT, TO SEE FOR MYSELF.
SO TOMORROW MORNING I'LL RESPOND TO YOUR EMAIL AND UH, WE CAN SET UP A TIME WHEN IT DARK TOO BAD.
WE COULDN'T DO IT AT THREE 20 YESTERDAY.
SO, UM, I LIVE TWO MILES FROM HERE.
SO HAVE I WAS IN, COME OVER MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME OVER AND HAVE A SODA AND TAKE A LOOK.
AND I DID RESPOND TO YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL.
LEGAL COUNSEL FOR YOU REACHED OUT TO ME TWICE AND I RESPONDED TO HIM TWICE.
HE, HE, HE WAS JUST DOING THIS AS A FAVOR TO ME.
SO I WAS NEVER FORMALLY REPRESENTED BY ANYBODY.
AND WAS, YOU KNOW, I COMPLAINED TO HIM.
AND YOU MADE A PUBLIC PHONE CALL.
WHEN YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL REACHED OUT TO ME ON YOUR BEHALF.
I RESPONDED TO THEM AND WENT THROUGH THEM BECAUSE YOU HAD REACHED OUT TO ME THROUGH LEGAL COUNSEL.
[02:25:01]
YOU.ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO BE HEARD? PAUL MCC? UM, JUST, UH, COULD YOU GIVE US A CLEAR UPDATE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE NIKE BASE OR MEETING GONNA BE FORMED? IT HASN'T BEEN WORKED.
AND WHAT IS THE ACTION THAT'S BEING UNDERTAKEN RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK? THERE'S
TO ANSWER THAT, SO WE, WE DID HAVE, UM, A PRESENTATION BY MR. ESTONIA, WHICH OUTLINED THE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WILL BE GOING IN, UH, TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S ICE.
UM, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS THAT KEN POINTED OUT AS WERE OBVIOUS.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK THEY WERE.
BUT I, I TRUST THAT KEN KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE.
UM, SO THE FOCUS RIGHT NOW IS GETTING THAT EQUIPMENT IN AND, UH, ENSURING THAT WE HAVE ADVICE AS WELL AS DASHBOARDS.
THAT'S ALSO BEEN ADDED AS A PRIORITY.
NOW, WHAT THE TOWN BOARD HAS TO DETERMINE IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR, FOR THIS PIECE.
AND WHAT I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT IS, UH, AN ISSUE OF EQUITY WHERE WE HAVE OUR, IN MY OPINION, ACTIVELY DISCOURAGING YOUNG WOMEN FROM, FROM PLAYING HOCKEY IN THAT ARENA.
UM, SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO ON, ON THE ICE ARENA AS FAR AS THE STATUS OF, UH, MR. CUB'S COMMITTEE.
THE MY COMMITTEE IS WHAT, RIGHT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ICE HOCKEYS.
UM, KEN COSTIN ALREADY SAID WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
UM, NO, THE COMMITTEE FOR THE, FOR THE BIG FACILITY, THE, THE DUAL PADS.
OH, THAT I, I, I, I FORWARDED THAT TO THE OTHER GUY.
UM, MR. BALKI, UM, HAD AN IDEA OF CREATING A BIG FACILITY.
HE WANTS TO CREATE A COMMITTEE TO LOOK INTO IT.
IT HAS NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NIKE BASE.
NOBODY'S GONNA PUT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO A FACILITY AND JUST LET IT GO BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE, NO, YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'T GO TO SOMEBODY'S PARTY 'CAUSE IT'S BIGGER THAN THE ONE I ALREADY COMMITTED TO, YOU KNOW.
MR. MC, UM, QUE UH, KEN ESTONIA COMMENTED ONE OF THE THINGS HE WENT OVER AT THE WORK SESSION PRESENTATION, IT WAS A LENGTHY AND, AND VERY IN-DEPTH PRESENTATION.
UM, AND HE DID CLARIFY THAT AS FAR AS WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOMS AND THOSE FACILITIES, THOSE WERE NEVER INTENDED TO BE PART OF THIS, UM, THIS YEAR'S PROJECTS THAT WOULD'VE BEEN COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER.
SO THAT WILL BE PART OF ONGOING CONVERSATION DOWN THE ROAD, BUT IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE PART OF WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN SEPTEMBER.
AND HE CLARIFIED THAT FOR US AT THE WORK SESSION PRESENTATION.
SO THE WOMEN ARE STILL, I THINK IT'S PART OF THE ONGOING CONVERSATION FOR THE FUTURE.
IT WAS NEVER, IT WAS EVEN IN THE PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS NOT PART OF WHAT WAS GONNA BE DONE THIS YEAR.
SO OF COURSE IT WILL REMAIN AS PART OF OUR CONVERSATION GOING FORWARD.
SO NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED THERE.
IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE PART OF THIS YEAR'S, UM, PROJECT ANYWAYS.
AND HE CLAR AND HE CLARIFIED THAT, THAT EVEN THE AS PRESENTED, UM, SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO, IT WAS NOT PART OF WHAT WAS GONNA BE ACCOMPLISHED THIS YEAR.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE BOARD THEN TO RECONSIDER AND MAKE THOSE CONSIDERATIONS.
AND AS WE SAID, THAT'S ALL PART OF THE TIME IN YOUNG GIRLS STATES.
'CAUSE THEY HAVEN'T ADDRESSED IN THE, IN THE PARKING LOT.
AND THAT'S PART WHY IT'S PART OF OUR ONGOING CONVERSATION.
I THINK WE ALL SHARE THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, LOOK, I MEAN YOU, YOU WEREN'T HERE FOR THE WORK SESSION, BUT WE DID TALK ABOUT IT EXTENSIVELY.
AND UM, I KNOW AT LEISURE RINGS, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, AND ACTUALLY TWO OF THE, AT LEAST TWO OF THE, UM, AND THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE, BUT A LOT OF THE TEAMS ARE LE LEAVING THE HAWKS FOR WHATEVER REASON.
UM, BUT WHAT THEY HAVE AT LEISURE RINKS, UH, IS THEY HAVE RETROFITTED SOME AREAS BY RINK TWO WHERE THEY HAVE, WHERE THE SOUTHTOWN STARS HAVE A, A, A FEMALE LOCKER ROOM.
AND SO ONE OF THE IDEAS I'D LIKE TO EXPLORE, 'CAUSE IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH VERY WELL WITH THE ARENA, BOTH WITH, AS, AS AM I, UM, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE PRO SHOP AREA IS, IT'S ALWAYS CLOSED, RIGHT? ONE OF THE IDEAS I HAD, AND I WAS TALKING TO, UH, COUNCILMAN, UH, FAR LORENZ ABOUT THIS TODAY, AND WE TALK ABOUT IT A LOT, ALL OF US DO, IS, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT SPENDING $10 MILLION, THAT AREA RIGHT THERE, UH, I HAD A LOT OF IDEAS FOR IT.
ONE WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PARENTS COME AND THEY
[02:30:01]
WATCH THEIR KIDS HAVE PRACTICE.WHY NOT PUT A COUPLE TREADMILLS IN THERE OR SOME EXERCISE BIKES, OR WHY NOT? UM, WHY NOT PUT A, A LOCKER ROOM THERE? BUT WE HAVE PLANS, UH, FOR A LOCK.
WELL, THE PLANS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, WE HAVEN'T COMMITTED TO THAT.
BUT THE PLANS EXIST WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE A LOCKER ROOM THAT WOULD ACTUALLY SET UP AND HAVE OUTSIDE ACCESS.
BUT THE WAY THAT THIS WAS STRUCTURED IS THERE'S PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO.
SO PHASE TWO IS NEVER GONNA PUT LOCKER ROOMS IN EVEN IF WE VOTED FOR THAT BOND THIS YEAR.
BUT I THINK WE SHOULD DISCUSS IT.
AND WHAT WE FOUND, AND I I MUST COMMEND MR. CUSTO, OUR ENGINEER, IS THAT THE WAY THAT WE WENT ABOUT THIS PROCESS FOR THE COMPRESSORS AND THE DASHER BOARDS IS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA SAVE MONEY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE USING OUR, UM, EMPLOYEES TO DO THE DEMO WORK ON THE BOARDS, UM, RATHER.
AND THEN ALSO THE CONTRACTOR THAT WE HAD WAS CHARGING US A 10% PREMIUM.
SO BY DOING IT INDIVIDUALLY, WE'RE SAVING MONEY AND WE'RE, WE'RE PLANNING ON, UM, HAVING ICE.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, MY RELUCTANCE ALL ALONG AND SUPPORTING THE BIG BOND PROJECT WAS THAT IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND WE'RE GETTING RIPPED OFF.
NOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO IT, IT SEEMS LIKE WE WERE OVER OVERPAYING FOR THAT.
AND I DO STILL BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A, A DUAL RANKED FACILITY.
AND PEOPLE, PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME, WHICH, WHICH IS, WHICH IS FINE, BUT, AND THEY CALL IT THE TAJ MAHAL.
I THINK PEOPLE SAID LIKE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE VISION, UM, AND YOU DON'T HAVE AN IDEA, THEN YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE THINGS START.
BUT WE ARE COMMITTED AND I THINK IT'S THE MOST FISCALLY PRUDENT THING AS A BOARD TO INVEST IN WHAT THOSE IMPORTANT THINGS ARE, THE COMPRESSORS AND THE BOARDS.
AND WE'LL LOOK AT ALL OTHER OPTIONS, BUT I STILL THINK, YOU KNOW, WE, WE CAN GET THERE IF, IF, IF NEED BE.
AND, AND TODAY THE, UM, HILBERT COACH CAME, UM, AND I HAD A BRIEF CONVERSATION WITH HIM BEFORE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO THE WOMEN'S COACH FROM HILBERT.
I HAVE THREE DAUGHTERS, TWO THAT ARE, UH, ATHLETES WITH SCHOLARSHIPS IN SPORTS AND COLLEGE.
AND A AND A DAUGHTER WHO'S AT SWIM MEET TODAY WHO ARE SWIM PRACTICE TODAY FOR STAR DOWN DOWNTOWN WHO'S EIGHT YEARS OLD.
SO I HAVE A BIG PROPONENT OF WOMEN'S SPORTS, BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO DO IT FISCALLY, PRUDENTLY 'CAUSE WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THE, TO THE TAXPAYERS NOW.
WE ALSO, AND I HAD COACH GIRLS, UM, BOYS AND GIRLS.
THE WAY THAT IT, THAT IT WORKS NOW IS, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS, I, I DON'T CARE WHAT THE ONE GUY SAID, THEY DON'T, PEOPLE AREN'T RUNNING AROUND, UH, SHOWERING THERE.
I GET DRESSED AT HOME 'CAUSE IT'S 10 MINUTES AWAY.
BUT WE STILL CAN ADDRESS IT AND SHOULD, BUT I WANNA LET YOU KNOW, IT'S A COMMITMENT.
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SUFFER.
I THINK DOWN THE ROAD THAT'S A GREAT, BUT WHAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS THE COMMITMENT FOR THE KIDS RIGHT NOW, MAKING SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS.
AND WE HAVE PLANS IN PLACE FOR THAT.
AND I THINK THE WOUNDS, THE RESIDENT FOR THE YOUNG GIRLS SHOULD RISE.
I THINK MR. MCQUILLAN, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS.
I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH YOU NOW.
I'VE BEEN WORKING IN GOVERNMENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND LARGE SCALE CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE RARELY, IF EVER CONTAINED WITHIN A 12 MONTH CALENDAR YEAR.
THE FINANCING IS SECURED FIRST AND THOSE LARGE SCALE CAPITAL PROJECTS TAKE PLACE OVER ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS.
IF THEY DIDN'T VOTE FOR IT LAST MEETING, ARE THEY GONNA VOTE FOR IT NEXT YEAR? THAT'S MY CONCERN.
AND I THINK IT SHOULD, I, ALL THE
UH, AT LEAST NOW WE CAN CONVEY THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD POSITIVELY.
AND I SPOKE INDIVIDUALLY, UM, WITH MR. MCDERMOTT TODAY AND MR. MILITELLO AND 'CAUSE I KNOW THEM, YOU KNOW, PERSONALLY.
AND SO, I MEAN, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF POLITICAL, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I READ THINGS IN THE PAPER, RIGHT? THEY SAY THERE'S, THERE'S ALWAYS THREE SIDES TO A STORY, RIGHT? AND, AND, UH, BUT, BUT, AND WINSTON CHURCHILL HAD SAID, UH, YOU KNOW, TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASUALTY WAR.
BUT I THINK THAT WHAT'S BEEN REPORTED IS NOT ACCURATE.
MEANING I HAVE, I HAVE ALL ALONG BEEN ON THE RECORD OF SUPPORTING THE BASIC IMPROVEMENTS, BUT I THINK SOME OF THE STUFF WE'RE GETTING RIPPED OFF QUITE CANDIDLY, AND WE SHOULD LOOK AT FISCALLY PRUDENT WAYS TO DO IT.
AND I'VE SPOKEN TO MY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND WE'RE COMMITTING, WE'RE, WE'RE COMMITTED TO FINDING A SOLUTION.
AND OUR TOWN ENGINEER TELLS US THAT THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED.
AND IF YOU, IF AND, AND HAD YOU BEEN HERE, YOU'D HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE WHAT WAS PROPOSED AND I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY AFTER.
BUT I'M PERSONALLY COMMITTED TO THAT INVESTMENT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR, FOR THOSE COMPRESSORS.
AND I KNOW THE ONES THAT THEY PUT IN ON LEISURE RINKS, I'VE SKATED ON THAT ICE AND THEY USED TO HAVE POOR ICE, THAT LEISURE RINKS, RIGHT? AND IF YOU SKATED ON IT, YOU KNOW, THEY PUT IN SOME
[02:35:01]
NEW COMPRESSORS AND IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.AND I THINK IT'S A FUNCTION OF TECHNOLOGY AS WELL HAVING, YOU KNOW, MORE UP TO DATE.
AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, HAMBURG ACTUALLY HAS GOOD ICE AS YOU KNOW, DESPITE THOSE COMPRESSORS BEING OLD, HAVING SKATED ON THAT MANY TIMES.
BUT I'M HOPEFUL ISIS JUST AS GOOD WITH THE NEW ONE.
WELL, I, I DO APPRECIATE LOOKING FORWARDS TO, I DO APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION AND UM, THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO COME OUT WITH CIRCLE.
AND I DO WANNA POINT OUT, UM, WHILE I APPRECIATE COUNCIL MEMBER ALKIS WILLINGNESS TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, THE PRO SHOP WOULD RESULT IN THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM BEING SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE MEN'S.
AND THE WOMEN WOULD THEN BE EXPECTED TO WALK THROUGH THE VIEWING AREA IN THE LOBBY AREA TO ACCESS THE LOCKER ROOM.
WHEREAS THE MEN ARE GONNA GO STRAIGHT FROM THE LOCKER ROOM TO THE AR OR TO THE ICE ARENA, WHICH DURING SOME HEATED GAMES, UM, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO GIVE THEM TIME TO DECOMPRESS.
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO GIVE THEM THEIR PRIVACY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THOSE LOCKER ROOMS ARE SOMETIMES USED AS FIRST RESPONDER AREAS DURING A MEDICAL INCIDENT.
I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO ASK THE WOMEN TO BE TAKEN ACROSS THE OPEN AREA.
SO IF WE DO CONSIDER THAT, I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL.
I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WOMEN ARE GETTING EQUAL SIZE BUT ALSO EQUAL DIGNITY.
THE, THE FIRST LOCKER ROOM WHERE THE, WHERE WHERE THE MEDICAL FACILITY IS, THAT'S THE BIGGEST SHOWER ROOM.
SO YOU CAN'T UTILIZE THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIT FIVE OR 10 GUYS INTO LITTLE TWO SHOWER STALL WITH TWO STALLS IN THERE.
UM, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE IS GO IN DRESSING ROOM ONE, PUT AN ACCORDION WALL IN BETWEEN THERE, FIX THE DOOR ON THE ONE SIDE BECAUSE THERE'S TWO DOORS IN THERE, YOU CAN MAKE A SEPARATE ROOM OUT OF THE ONE.
YOU GOT THE SHOWER ROOM RIGHT THERE.
IT'S GOT THE TWO SHOWERS IN THE BATHROOM.
ANYBODY ELSE LIKE TO BE HEARD? THAT WILL TAKE US TO REPORTS FROM DEPARTMENT HEADS.
WE'LL START WAY IN THE BACK WITH CHIEF NESS.
UH, WE ARE GONNA BE HOSTING THE, UH,
THAT DATE'S MAY 28TH, UH, HERE AT, UH,
SO I THROW THAT DATE OUT THERE IN CASE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED.
UH, THE SECOND THING IS, AND I WANT TO PITCH THIS BY SAYING I AM NOT A PDA MEMBER, BUT I'M GONNA GIVE 'EM A A SHOUT OUT THERE, OOPS.
FOR HAVING THEIR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER AT RIVERWORKS THIS FRIDAY FROM SEVEN TO 10 OR 11.
UH, NERDS GONE WILD TO PLAYING THIS.
UH, AND THEN WE WILL GO TO YOUTH REC AND SENIOR SERVICES NEXT SATURDAY WE'RE GONNA BE HAVING OUR DEATH RECREATION SPRING PLAYING.
AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE LUNCH BETWEEN THE ADAPTIVE DIRECT KIDS AND SENIORS NOT SO WELL THAT THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE INVITING THE SENIORS TO THEIR SPRING PLAYING.
PUT THAT OUT THERE, POST 'EM AS THE DESK.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER CAMP.
OUR BRAND NEW GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL, UH, PROGRAM.
OUR NEW ADULT HIT BALL PROGRAM, LEARNED TO SWIM AND MANY GATHER PROGRAMS. WHEN DOES THAT OPEN JILL? UH, IT'S OUR, IT'S BEEN OPEN.
AND WHAT IS THE DATE FOR THE ADAPTIVE? UM, REC SPRING PLAYING APRIL 20TH AT 1:00 PM ABOUT SATURDAY.
OH, IT'S THE SAME DAY AS THE BEACH PLANT.
THE, I BELIEVE THE BEACH CLEAN IS IN THE MORNING THOUGH.
AND THE VILLAGE HAS ENTAL THAT DAY.
SO, UM, WE HAD OUR KICKOFF MEETING WITH THE COUNTY GO BY AND, UM, THE TOWN FOR THE PROJECT ON WEEKEND, THE GRANT WE RECEIVED.
WE ALSO WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH THE
AND THEY, THEY BASIC, IT WAS A GOOD, UH, STARTING MEETING WHERE IT'S ON THEIR RADAR.
THEY'RE LOOKING INTO HOW UH, THEY CAN KEEP IT IN MIND FOR CAPITAL PRO PROJECTS THAT COME UP IN THE FUTURE.
UM, AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THEIR TRAFFIC SAFETY TEAM ASSESS THE SCRANTON SOULS.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING, IT WAS A GOOD FIRST CONVERSATION TO KEEP RELATIONSHIP GOING AND REMIND 'EM THAT THIS IS A BIG TOP PRIORITY.
UM, UH, MR. ESTONIA, JUST ONE ABOUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE BEACH DREDGING IS SCHEDULED TO START NEXT WEEK.
UM, BUT THEY HAVE TO DO IT WHEN THE WEATHER HAS STOPPED.
SO WEATHER PERMITTED, THEY'LL START NEXT WEEK AS LONG AS WE HAVE ZERO TO THREE FOOT PLACE STRETCH.
ASSESS? UH, YES, I'D LIKE SEE, UH, OUR OFFICE IS PREPARING THE TIME OF TEXTUAL, WHICH WILL BE ESTABLISHED
[02:40:01]
IN BOTH FIRST, AND I'D LIKE TO THANK THE TOP BOARDAND ALSO WANT TAKE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT FOR JOHN, CINDY, FOR OUR COFFEE MEETINGS THROUGH PROCESS THAT THANK YOU.
UH, THAT BRINGS US TWO REPORTS FROM THE BOARD.
UH, WHOSE DECISION WAS IT TO CLOSE THE HAMBURG BEACH, UH, YESTERDAY? SO THAT WAS A DECISION THAT WAS MADE, UH, OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS, WHERE WE MET WITH FOLKS FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR PUBLIC SAFETY DISPATCH, UH, FOLKS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED ECLIPSES IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
UH, PHIL FROM THE, UH, AND DIXIE.
UM, AND, UH, IT WAS NOT AN EASY DECISION TO MAKE, BUT IN CONSULTATION, UH, FIRST AND FOREMOST WITH THE FOLKS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, FOR PUBLIC SAFETY, UM, WE DECIDED, UH, THAT IT WAS BEST TO CLOSE CLOSE THE BEACH.
NOW IT TURNED OUT THAT WE DIDN'T GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO COME TO VIEW THE EVENT AS WAS ANTICIPATED.
UM, BUT I WAS HAPPY TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION.
UM, YEAH, WASN'T AN EASY DECISION TO MAKE.
AND I KNOW FOLKS WERE CERTAINLY DISAPPOINTED, UM, BUT WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO PLANNING, UH, LOOKING BACK, IT WAS A WAY TOO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO PLANNING.
SO WAIT, SO THE QUESTION IS, WHOSE DECISION WAS IT TO CLOSE THE BEACH? YEAH, SO AS I STATED, IT WAS, IT WAS MY DECISION.
IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE.
UM, BUT WOULD YOU SAY IT WAS THE WRONG DECISION? NO, I WOULD SAY IT'S A WELL-INFORMED DECISION AND, UH, WE ALL LEARNED A LOT FROM IT.
I KNOW, I KNOW, YOU KNOW, MARK PAUL CARS CAME OUT AND SAID, THERE ARE GONNA BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
AND OBVIOUSLY YOU, YOU WERE WRONG.
BUT I THINK THOSE DECISIONS I WOULD ASK IN THE FUTURE, 'CAUSE I NEVER WAS CONSULTED, UH, KNOWN ON THE BOARD WAS CONSULTED.
AND I'VE SAID IT IN THE PAST THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
UH, WE ARE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, UH, AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT BY YOU AS A SUPERVISOR.
AND I THINK IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A DECISION SUCH AS THAT, UH, THAT THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD COME BEFORE THE, BEFORE THE BOARD, DON'T YOU? THANK YOU.
DOES THIS CONCLUDE YOUR REPORT, MR. BOSKY? NO, I ASKED A QUESTION.
WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO CONTINUE YOUR REPORT IF YOU LIKE.
SO YOU'RE NOT GONNA ANSWER THAT.
YOU DON'T, YOU'RE NOT GONNA ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
WHY NOT? WELL, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
AND THIS IS REPORTS FROM THE BOARD, SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT GO AHEAD.
MY, I'M NOT HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, SO YOU DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT YOUR DECISION TO CLOSE THE, THE BEACH AFTER THE MEETING, AFTER WE ADJOURN TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
YOU DISCUSS MATTERS IN LITIGATION.
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT AND, YOU KNOW, I I I WELCOME THE CONVERSATION WITH YOU.
IT'D BE THE FIRST ONE IN FOUR MONTHS.
I WOULD, I, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT, UH, IN THE FUTURE I WOULD ASK THAT THE TOWN SUPERVISOR BEFORE, SEE THAT'S A PUBLIC BEACH, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE, UH, THAT I TALKED TO WANTED TO ENJOY IT.
UH, YOU TELLING ME SOMETHING? I DON'T KNOW.
I I'M SAYING IT'S NOT, IT'S, I I KNOW I'VE LIVED IN HAMBURG MY WHOLE LIFE AND THAT'S OPEN TO THE TOWN, UH, RESIDENCE AND YOU GET A STICKER AND I'VE LAUNCHED BOATS THERE AND I, YOU KNOW, I'VE, I'VE LIVED CLOSE BY.
SO, UM, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE SNARKY REMARK THAT YOU MADE.
UM, BUT NO, I'M AWARE OF WHAT THE HAMBURG TOWN PARK IS AND IT IS OPEN TO RESIDENTS.
AND MY VIEW IS, AND I SEE THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE.
UM, I SAY THAT IN MY OPINION, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE TOWN BOARD.
I'VE RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS FROM CONSTITUENTS THAT THE, UM, HAMBURG BEACH WAS NOT OPEN AND PEOPLE WOULD'VE LIKED TO HAVE SAT THERE AND WATCHED THE ECLIPSE.
AND IT TURNS OUT THAT YOU WERE WRONG.
AND PERHAPS SUPERVISOR HOKE, HAD YOU DISCUSSED THAT WITH THE TOWN BOARD, WE'VE HAD SOME INPUT.
I WOULD'VE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN SOME INPUT ON THAT.
AND I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT YOU BOUGHT INTO THE, YOU WERE DRINKING THE KOOL-AID OR MAYBE MAKING THE KOOL-AID AND BOUGHT INTO THE HYSTERIA THAT THERE WERE GOING TO BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE RUNNING THROUGH WESTERN NEW YORK AND
[02:45:01]
YOU MADE A BAD DECISION.AND I THINK YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO THE RESIDENTS THAT, UH, WANTED TO PARTAKE IN THAT AND HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.
COUNCIL MEMBER KOOSA, UH, GEEZ, I JUST WANT TO SAY REC REC RECOGNIZE THE LAST DAY OF RAMADAN FOR SOME OF MY MUSLIM FRIENDS.
UM, I JUST WANNA CONGRATULATE THE BOARD.
WE LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA FINISH THIS BY NINE O'CLOCK.
WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION COUNCIL MEMBER FERRES.
UM, OUR, UM, HEAD OF B AND G NATE RIVERA WAS NOT ABLE TO BE WITH US THIS EVENING, BUT HE DID FORWARD SOME UPDATES.
I KNOW ONE OF THEM WAS COVERED, BUT I'LL JUST GO OVER WHAT HE DID FORWARD THE INFORMATION, UM, THAT THEY'VE STARTED CLEARING THE AREA FOR THE NEW PLAYGROUND AT OSBORNE.
SO, PROGRESS THERE, UM, THAT THE GOLF COURSE CLEANUP HAS STARTED AND IS ON TRACK FOR AN OPEN DATE OF MAY 1ST WEATHER PERMITTING.
AND AS WAS SAID BEFORE, THE BOAT LAUNCH, DREDGING IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 15TH AND SHOULD WRAP UP BY THE 19TH, OF COURSE, WEATHER PERMITTING AND THAT THE ICE IS COMING OUT AT THE RINK ON THE 15TH.
I YOU SAID MARCH? DID I SAY I'M SORRY.
UM, JUST WANNA TAKE A COUPLE MINUTES.
UM, NUMBER ONE, I WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR EFFORTS.
I KNOW THE ECLIPSE AS A TEACHER, I SPENT A LOT OF TIME PRACTICING IT WITH MY STUDENTS.
UM, WE PRACTICED WEARING OUR GLASSES AND ECLIPSE SAFETY AND THE SCIENCE, THE PHENOMENON BEHIND IT.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAD HORRIBLE CLOUD COVER AND THERE WAS SO LIMITED ABOUT, I GOTTA TELL YOU THOSE SMILING FACES TODAY, WHEN THEY WERE TELLING ME THIS IS THE, THE, THE WORLD GOT SO DARK.
SO THAT BEING SAID, WEATHER WASN'T WHAT WE HOPED.
CLEVELAND CLEARLY GOT BETTER SUNSHINE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WAS STILL A WONDERFUL DAY.
IT WAS WONDERFUL TO EXPERIENCE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND HEAR EVERYBODY, EVEN MY STUDENTS WERE COMMENTING, THEY'RE LIKE, THEIR FAVORITE PART WAS EVERYBODY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WAS LIKE, IN AWE.
AT THE SAME TIME, WE WERE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THE SAME THING.
IT WAS THE ONE THING THAT TRULY JUST BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER.
THAT BEING SAID, TAKE YOUR ECLIPSE GLASSES TO THE LOCAL LIBRARY.
ASTRONOMERS WITHOUT BORDERS ARE COLLECTING THOSE ECLIPSE GLASSES AND HAVE A NOSE.
AND THIS AREA, THEY WEREN'T WELL USED
SO TAKE YOUR ECLIPSE GLASSES BACK TO THE LIBRARY.
THEY ARE GOING TO RECYCLE THEM AND SEND THEM TO OTHER AREAS THAT MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE TO HAVE WIDE ACCESS TO ECLIPSE GLASSES, BUT STILL WANNA TAKE IN THIS NATURAL PHENOMENON.
SO PLEASE CONSIDER DOING THAT.
UM, IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY GETTING 'EM TO THE LIBRARY, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME AND I WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO GET THOSE INTO THE RIGHT HANDS.
ALSO, UM, I WANTED TO POINT OUT, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T POINT OUT APRIL IS AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH.
AND AUTISM IS ONE OF THESE PHENOMENAL DISABILITIES AND REALLY ABILITIES THAT IS CALLED A SILENT DISABILITY.
YOU OFTEN DON'T RECOGNIZE THOSE INDIVIDUAL HAS AUTISM AND YOU OFTEN DON'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE PERSON IS STRUGGLING WITH AUTISM.
BUT AS AN EDUCATOR OF 22 YEARS, I WILL TELL YOU WORKING WITH AUTISTIC STUDENTS HAS ABSOLUTELY SHAPED MY PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD AND SHAPED MY INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS.
SO PLEASE GIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS SOME GRACE.
GIVE YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS SOME GRACE.
AND WHEN YOU SEE A PARENT IN A STORE AND THAT KID IS HAVING THE MELTDOWN, OR IS HAVING THAT DIFFICULT DAY, PLEASE GIVE THAT PERSON SOME GRACE, SOME EMPATHY AND SAY, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? NOT, OH, YOU COULD GET YOUR KID UNDER CONTROL.
'CAUSE AUTISM IS A REMARKABLE THING.
IT TEACHES YOU PATIENCE, IT TEACHES YOU UNDERSTANDING, BUT IT ALSO TEACHES YOU TO APPRECIATE, WONDER, APPRECIATE SEEING THE WORLD IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
AND SO IT'S AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH.
TAKE A MOMENT AND LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT AUTISM.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THERE TO LEARN.
