START WITH THE. OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO START WITH OR WAIT FOR THE PLEDGE FOR THE MEETING, OR
[Work Session meeting on November 17, 2025.]
[00:00:05]
DO IT NOW? I THINK WE USUALLY DO IT IN BOTH PLACES. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. WE'LL START WITH THE PLEDGE TO THE FLAG. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. CLERK. TAKE THE ROLL. TAKE THE ROLL CALL. COUNCIL MEMBER ELIZABETH LAWRENCE, COUNCIL MEMBER. HERE. CATHERINE LESINSKI, SUPERVISOR. HERE, DANIEL. COUNCIL MEMBER HERE. COUNCIL MEMBER. WE HAVE A QUORUM. YES, WE HAVE A QUORUM. OKAY. SO, JOSH, YOUR FIRST.THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR. I THINK MY UPDATE SHOULD BE FAIRLY QUICK. I USUALLY TRY TO TAKE TIME WHEN THERE IS TIME AVAILABLE ON THE WORK SESSION. JUST TO GIVE THIS BOARD AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THE VAST NUMBER OF ZONING CHANGES. AS YOU GUYS RECALL, THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF PUBLIC HEARINGS THAT WE'VE HELD. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ZONING CHANGES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. SO I JUST TRY TO KEEP YOU GUYS INFORMED WITH WHAT'S GOING ON. AND THEN THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'LL CARRY OVER INTO 26. SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO GIVE UPDATES ON THAT. IF YOU DO RECALL AT OUR LAST TOWN BOARD MEETING, WE DID PASS ZONING CHANGES THAT INCLUDED SOME REZONINGS IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA OF THE TOWN NEAR ABBOTT ROAD AND LAKE AVENUE. SO THOSE ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND SENDING THOSE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE FOR THOSE TO BE OFFICIAL. WE ALSO DID ALSO APPROVE ZONING CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE TOWN CODE, RANGING FROM EVERYTHING FROM LOOKING AT CAR WASH REGULATIONS, PRIVATE RENTAL, MINI STORAGE, LOOKING AT OUR EXISTING R-3, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS THAT I THINK ANSWERED A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT NOT ONLY TOWN BOARD MEMBERS HAVE HAD, BUT RESIDENTS HAVE HAD ABOUT DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE TOWN, SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS, YOU KNOW, GUIDING THAT DEVELOPMENT AND THEN PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF HOW THE TOWN IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW. BUT THAT GROWTH NEEDS TO BE SMART IN PRINCIPLE. SO I THINK WE'VE DONE SOME ZONING CHANGES TO START GETTING THAT BALL ROLLING. OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIX YOUR ZONING CODE IN ONE AND ONE ZONING SUMMARY, BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT SOME OF THESE CHANGES BEFORE THIS BOARD. THERE'S A NUMBER OF COMMITTEES THROUGHOUT THE TOWN THAT WERE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THEIR INPUT FROM. AND THEN WE'RE CONTINUING TO, YOU KNOW, GET THEM ON THE DOCKET, HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC, AND GO FROM THERE. IN TERMS OF TONIGHT, WHAT I JUST WANT TO QUICKLY GO OVER IS, IF YOU GUYS ALSO RECALL, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS LAKEVIEW COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THAT FROM THE LAST TIME WE'VE SPOKEN WITH A NUMBER OF NEIGHBORS WHO CAME OUT TO OUR FIRST PUBLIC HEARING WITH SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. WE'VE THEN SPOKEN WITH THE ZONING COMMITTEE, WE'VE TALKED WITH THE PLANNING BOARD. WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A DRAFT THAT WE THINK ANSWERS A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS FROM SOME PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE IN THE AREA.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO WITH THIS BOARD SUBMISSION IS HOLD ON THE DISTRICT ITSELF. SO WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN IS WE WOULDN'T HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REZONING CHANGES. NONE OF THOSE WERE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. WE'RE STILL PLANNING ON INCORPORATING ALL OF THE ZONING CHANGES, BUT WE'RE PLANNING ON HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ACTUAL LAKEVIEW COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ITSELF AND THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE IN IT AND THE PERMITTED USES THAT ARE IN IT, BECAUSE WE'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AGAIN, BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WE BELIEVE THAT IT WARRANTS ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING. OBVIOUSLY, WE'LL ALLOW THE TOWN LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO, YOU KNOW, COSIGN THAT. BUT IF WE DID HOLD ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING, WHETHER IT'S FOR THE DECEMBER 22ND MEETING OR IF IT'S FOR, YOU KNOW, BEYOND, WE THINK THAT GETTING THAT ON THE DOCKET AND HEARING FROM THOSE RESIDENTS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LISTEN TO EVERYONE, THAT WE LISTEN TO THE TOWN BOARD, WE LISTEN TO ALL THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT. AND, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO HAVE A DISTRICT THAT WE THINK IS ALL ENCOMPASSING, HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DID THAT. AND THEN GOING FORWARD WITH THOSE RECOMMENDED CHANGES. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE DOCKET. AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT I JUST WANT TO UPDATE THE BOARD ABOUT IS YOU'LL SEE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S A RESOLUTION OR A PUBLIC HEARING FOR REZONING AT 4922 OREGON ROAD. THAT PROPERTY OWNER CURRENTLY IS OUT OF TOWN, BUT HE DID SEND ME AN EMAIL THIS MORNING ASKING IF WE CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN CLOSE IT AT THE DECEMBER 8TH MEETING SO THAT HE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME SPEAK BEFORE YOU. SO IF THAT'S COMFORTABLE WITH THIS BOARD, WE'D OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT FOR 4922 OREGON ROAD. KEEP IT OPEN, LET ANYONE SPEAK
[00:05:06]
IF THEY WANT TO, AND THEN CLOSE IT ON DECEMBER 8TH SO THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD ALSO SPEAK BEFORE YOU. AND THEN WE CLOSE IT THEN IS EVERYONE WOULD YOU THREE BE COMFORTABLE WITH WITH KEEPING THAT PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR TONIGHT? WHAT IS WHAT IS OUR TYPICAL PRACTICE? I KNOW WE'VE HAD SITUATIONS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST, SO I'D WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING CONSISTENT WITH EACH, EACH SITUATION. SINCE SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THE TOWN, WE'VE HAD TIMES WHERE WE'VE KEPT THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S CAMP ROAD PROJECT. YEAH, WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE WE'VE KEPT IT OPEN, SO I DON'T ANTICIPATE THIS ONE BEING SUPER CONTROVERSIAL, HAVING A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING OUT. BUT I DO THINK THAT IT THE PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT LEAST COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AND SPEAK, AND HE WON'T BE HERE TONIGHT. SO. OKAY. THANKS. OKAY. PERFECT. AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A RESOLUTION FOR THE WHAT'S CALLED THE CONSISTENCY LAW. SO YOU GUYS PASSED A RESOLUTION AT THE LAST TOWN BOARD MEETING TO GO OVER SOME REZONINGS THAT WERE GOING TO GET DONE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. DEPARTMENT OF STATE DOES REQUIRE US TO DO WHAT'S CALLED THE CONSISTENCY LAW. SO THAT IS THE LAW THAT GUIDES HOW COASTAL CONSISTENCY REVIEWS ARE DONE. AS YOU GUYS KNOW, IT GOES TO THE WATERFRONT ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR A RECOMMENDATION. THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT THEN SENDS IT TO THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE PLANNING BOARD OR THE TOWN BOARD, DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF ACTION IS IN THE LAW. THEN MAKE A FINAL DETERMINATION. WITH THAT CONSISTENCY LAW, WE WOULD HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON IT, AND THEN WE WOULD ADOPT IT EITHER AT THE DECEMBER 22ND MEETING, OR WE COULD TAKE IT INTO JANUARY. 20TH JANUARY 2026. IT WON'T AFFECT THE TIMELINE OF THE LWP. IT'S IN THE QUEUE OF DOS RIGHT NOW, BUT I JUST WANTED TO GO OVER WHAT THAT IS SO THAT WHEN YOU SEE IT ON THE AGENDA, IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN ANSWER THEM.AND YOU SAID DECEMBER 22ND FOR THE, FOR THE, FOR THE LAST PIECE OF IT. YEP. OKAY. IS THERE ANYTHING ON THERE THAT WOULD BE CONCERNING TO THE DEC THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE OBJECTIONS TO? YOU KNOW, SO AS A PART OF THE PROCESS FOR WHEN WE GAVE A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE LWP HAD A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS SEND IT TO DEC FOR COMMENT. SO WE ACTUALLY SEND IT TO EVERY AGENCY IN NEW YORK STATE. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
DS DOES IT FOR US, BUT WE DO GET COMMENTS FROM ANY NEW YORK STATE AGENCY. SO DEC WILL HAVE TIME TO TO REVIEW IT. AND IF THEY HAVE ANY COMMENTS THEY'LL SEND. AND WENDY, WHO WAS HERE BEFORE YOU GUYS AND THOSE ARE THOSE ARE ALL MY UPDATES. I JUST WANT OUR ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS FILLING IN FOR KEN. I KNOW YOU KNOW JOE. SO HE'S KEN'S BEEN EXCUSED. GOTCHA.
SOUNDS GOOD. THANKS, GUYS. THANKS. OKAY. THANKS, JOSH. OKAY, JOE, I CAME HERE. I FEEL LIKE THAT. WHAT'S THAT? JILL. IS SHE HERE? IS IT JILL OR CAMMIE'S? NEXT. IT LOOKS LIKE JILL BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THAT, SO I DON'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT, CAN WE MIGHT AS WELL.
HAVE YOU KNOCKED SINCE SHE'S NOT HERE? I CAN FIND A CURSOR. SEE IF I NEED. A FILE TO OPEN IF I CAN. YEAH, IT HELPS IF YOU TURN ON THE MOUSE. THERE WE GO. HELLO? CORDLESS MOUSE THREW ME OFF. OKAY. SO MY ITEM FOR DISCUSSION AT THIS WORK SESSION IS THE ICE RINK RENOVATIONS PROJECT. PHASE FOUR. THERE IS A RESOLUTION ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA FOR A SMALL REQUEST FOR INCREASE IN FUNDS. AND I WANTED TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS AND SHOW YOU THE BREAKDOWN OF WHY WE'RE AT THIS POINT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN, WE HAD OUR FOUR PRIME CONTRACTS GENERAL PLUMBING, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL. YOU SEE UNDER BUDGET LINE. THOSE ARE THEIR BID AMOUNTS THAT WERE AWARDED FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT OF $1,300,700. UNDER THOSE CONTRACTS, EACH CONTRACTOR HAD A SMALL ALLOWANCE. IT WAS 20,000 UNDER THE GENERAL AND THEN 10,000 UNDER THE OTHER CONTRACTS. THE CHANGE ORDERS, WHICH I WILL DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF, HAVE TOTALED THE AMOUNTS THAT YOU CAN SEE THERE. SO LOOKING AT USING UP THAT ALLOWANCE THAT HAS PUT THIS REQUEST, THAT WILL BE BEFORE THE BOARD AT $26,643.11. THERE IS A MINOR ERROR IN THE RESOLUTION. I THINK IT SAYS 27. IT IS 26. SO IN TALKING ABOUT
[00:10:05]
WHAT OCCURRED. SO UNDER THE GENERAL, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE GENERAL WENT HAS A $20,000 ALLOWANCE, BUT IS HAS ENDED UP WITH ABOUT 40,000 IN CHANGE ORDERS. AND THE REASON FOR THAT STARTED WITH ADDITIONAL ASBESTOS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ABATEMENT THAT WE HAD TO DO ONCE WE CUT INTO THE WALL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE CONCESSION WINDOW TO THE OUTSIDE, AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE DOOR, THAT WILL LEAD TO THE NEW ADA BATHROOM, WHICH WE WANTED. OUTDOOR ACCESS.THE. AS SOON AS YOU TAKE ONE LAYER OF MATERIALS OFF, YOU FIND AN ADDITIONAL LAYER THAT DID COME UP IN TESTING AS HAZARDOUS. SO WE HAD TO DO ANOTHER ROUND OF ABATEMENT, WHICH MEANS ENCAPSULATING THE AREA, RUNNING, AIR MONITORING, RUNNING AIR CIRCULATION, AND DOING IT SAFELY. SO THAT CHEWED UP MOST OF THE ALLOWANCE. BECAUSE OF THAT WORK, WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL DRYWALL THAT WE HAD TO DO TO FINISH UP THE NEW WALLS ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING, AND THEN WE HAD A FEW ADDITIONAL ITEMS AFTER THAT. SO THE NEXT ITEM WOULD HAVE BEEN WE HAD THE SHOWERS IN THE NEW LOCKER ROOM. THE SHOWER BASES WERE INTENDED TO BE BASICALLY THE STORE BOUGHT, READY TO INSTALL DROP INTO PLACE BASES. UNFORTUNATELY, TO DO THE FLOOR DRAIN, WE HAVE TO WORK BETWEEN THE JOINTS OF THE EXISTING FLOOR IN THAT AREA OF THE ARENA, AND THERE WERE ONLY CERTAIN GAPS IN THE FLOOR WHERE WE COULD PUT THE FLOOR DRAINS. THIS CAUSED THE FLOOR DRAINS TO BE SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER, WHICH MEANS YOUR STANDARD IN STOCK FLOOR WAS NOT WORKING FOR US. WE COULDN'T ALIGN THE TWO TOGETHER. SO WHAT WE DID WAS AN EPOXY POURED FLOOR, WHICH HAD AN ADDITIONAL COST TO IT. THEN WE HAD SOME MINOR CEILING ISSUES TO ADDRESS. WE HAD A SECTION IN THE PLANS THAT DID NOT SHOW A CEILING, AND I'LL POINT TO THE SKY ABOVE. THIS IS YOUR STANDARD ACOUSTICAL TILE CEILING. WHAT YOU SEE IN MOST MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS, SCHOOL BUILDINGS, EVERYTHING SUCH AS THAT. WE HAD A SECTION THAT DID NOT HAVE TILES COVERING IT, SO YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN ALL OF THE PIPING, ELECTRICAL DUCTWORK AND EVERYTHING ABOVE IT. THAT WAS JUST UNFORTUNATELY MISSING FROM THE PLANS. SO WE HAD TO ADD THE CEILING. AND THEN IN SEVERAL AREAS IN THE NEW CONCESSION AREA, WE HAVE TO WORK THE CEILING AROUND DUCTWORK, PIPES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON. SO THE CEILING, INSTEAD OF UNFORTUNATELY, BEING A STRAIGHT TILE SYSTEM LIKE YOU WOULD SEE IN THIS ROOM, WE HAD TO WORK AROUND SOME FEATURES IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CEILING HEIGHT HIGH ENOUGH TO BE MORE OF A USABLE SPACE. YOU WANT TO BE SEVEN EIGHT FEET SOMEWHERE IN THAT RANGE, AND UNFORTUNATELY, IF WE WENT, IF WE DROPPED THE CEILING BELOW ALL OF THAT, THE CEILING WAS IF YOU'RE SIX FOOT SOMETHING, THE CEILING WOULD HAVE FELT A LITTLE BIT CLAUSTROPHOBIC, I THINK. SO WE WORKED THE CEILING AROUND THESE FEATURES INSTEAD, WHICH CAUSED US TO HAVE TO CHANGE THE GRID A LITTLE BIT AND WORK THROUGH THOSE ITEMS. I THINK THE CODE IS LIKE SEVEN FOOT TWO. SO YEAH. SO WE WERE AT SIX, EIGHT, I WANT TO SAY IN SOME AREAS AS ROUGH MEASUREMENTS, THIS WAS US JUST MEASURING BASED ON HOW THE ACOUSTICAL TILES HANG. SO WE DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS PROPER THROUGHOUT, LIKE THE WHOLE CONCESSION ROOM. SO IN THE CONCESSION ROOM IT WILL GO DROP DOWN TO COVER PIPES AND DUCTWORK AND THEN GO UP TO ALLOW FOR THAT CLEAR SPACE. OKAY. SO THAT COVERS THE GENERAL UNDER THE PLUMBING. WE HAD THREE ITEMS UNDER THE PLUMBING THAT BECAME CHALLENGES THE GAS LINE. SO IN THE AREA AND THOSE MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE ARENA.
AND THOSE MIGHT NOT BE WE ARE USING OLD STORAGE AREA. AND TO MAKE THE CONCESSION AND THE OUTDOOR BATHROOM. THAT MEANS A LOT OF THE PLUMBING IS NEW RUNS. SO WE HAD TO RUN GAS AND WATER FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF THE BUILDING INTO THIS SECTION. AND THERE WERE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS, THE GAS LINE CONNECTION WHERE WE THOUGHT WE COULD DO IT, UNFORTUNATELY DROPPED FROM A THREE INCH LINE TO A TWO INCH LINE. TWO INCH LINE WAS NOT ENOUGH PRESSURE TO PROVIDE GAS TO ALL OUR NEW FEATURES, SO WE HAD TO GO FARTHER THROUGH THE BUILDING WHERE IT WAS STILL THREE INCH AND CONNECT FROM THERE. SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THE WATER LINE. IN ORDER TO GET A WATER LINE THROUGH THERE, AND THE WATER LINE IS RUNNING IN THE CEILING, WE HAD TO AVOID A FEW DUCTWORK. WE HAD TO AVOID THE NEW GAS LINE. WE HAD TO ALIGN THAT AND KIND OF GO THROUGH A FEW WALLS THAT WE WERE NOT ANTICIPATING WE HAD TO DO. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A STRAIGHTER RUN, AND UNFORTUNATELY IT ENDED UP CRISSCROSSING AND KIND OF IT HAS MULTIPLE ELBOWS. NOW YOU HAVE TO INSULATE THOSE ELBOWS. SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADDITIONAL COST. THE LAST ITEM UNDER THE PLUMBING WAS RIGHT WHERE THE CONCESSION WINDOW IS ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE HOSE BIB. SO WHERE YOU CAN PLUG YOU ALL HAVE THEM IN OUR HOMES, YOU CAN PLUG A STANDARD HOSE FOR WATERING AND SO ON WAS LITERALLY RIGHT UNDER THE WINDOW. SO IF YOU ARE A CUSTOMER AT THE CONCESSION WINDOW, YOU HAVE THE HOSE BIB BASICALLY HITTING YOU IN THE KNEES. SO WE MOVED THAT OVER TO THE ADJACENT WALL ON THE
[00:15:01]
OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. OKAY. SO THOSE ARE WHERE YOU SEE THAT 20,000 AND THAT 11,000 THAT IS EXTRA REQUESTS FROM OUR CONTRACTORS, WHICH WE FEEL WAS COMPLETELY NECESSARY. AND PART OF THE PROJECT. THEN UNDER THE MECHANICAL WE DID CHANGE THE H THE HEATING UNITS IN THE LOCKER ROOMS, BECAUSE THE UNITS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAD, I BELIEVE IT WAS A 22 WEEK LEAD TIME, WHICH WOULD HAVE RUINED THE SEASON AND THE USE OF LOCKER ROOMS. SO WE FOUND A DIFFERENT UNIT THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO COVER THAT ENTIRELY IN THE ALLOWANCE, SO THERE WAS NO EXTRA AS FAR AS THE MECHANICAL CONTRACT FOR THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACT, THEY MOVED A FEW SWITCHES, A FEW OUTLETS. THE LOCATION OF SOME OF THE LIGHTS HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, BUT THEY HAVE SO FAR ONLY ASKED FOR ABOUT 4500, MEANING THAT THAT ALLOWANCE IS STILL GOT SOME VALUE TO IT. THAT WE'RE ABLE TO BALANCE OUT THE PROJECT AS BEST WE CAN. SO ALL OF THAT PUT TOGETHER LEAVES US WITH JUST UNDER $27,000 THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED BY THIS BOARD. AND I'M REQUESTING THAT TONIGHT, IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT, WHICH AS OF RIGHT NOW IS SUPPOSED TO COMPLETE BY FRIDAY. SO WE ARE IN ANTICIPATION OF GETTING THIS DONE AND FINISHING OFF THAT WORK. AND I HOPE YOU WILL ALL COME OUT AND SEE IT, BECAUSE I THINK THEY HAVE DONE A JUST BEAUTIFUL JOB AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL FACILITIES WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, AND THAT WITH A $1.3 MILLION PROJECT, THAT 27,000 IS OBVIOUSLY ONLY 2%. I THINK THAT'S VERY REASONABLE IN THIS INDUSTRY AS FAR AS WORKING WITH AN OLDER BUILDING. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU OPEN UP WALLS, YOU OPEN UP CEILINGS, YOU START RUNNING LINES THROUGH OLD LINES AND OLD SYSTEMS. YOU RUN INTO THESE ISSUES. AND I THINK WE FACED WHAT OUR NORMAL CHALLENGES FOR THIS TYPE OF PROJECT. BUT CREDIT TO BOTH OUR CONTRACTORS AND OUR BAG FOLKS, BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME PAINTING AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT WERE DISCUSSED. I'M SORRY, I'M GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A COLD.SO THIS IS A LOT OF TALKING. ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY. SO OUR BAG FOLKS DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO LESSEN THESE CHANGE ORDERS, AND THEY'VE BEEN EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH. AND SO I DO WANT TO SAY THAT BEFORE WE EVEN TALKED ABOUT A CHANGE ORDER TO THESE CONTRACTORS, WE DID LOOK TO SEE IF WE COULD DO IT WITH TOWN FORCES FIRST. AND WE DID AS MUCH AS WE COULD, WHICH GETS US TO THIS POINT. DID PAT COME UP WITH A PLACE TO TAKE THE FUNDS FROM? I DON'T RECALL, NO, NO, I DON'T RECALL. FINANCE HAS BEEN VERY BUSY, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH MY ENGINEERING BUDGET TO SEE WHAT WE'VE EXPENDED, TO SEE IF I HAVE LINE ITEMS THAT ARE LEFT THAT COULD BE TRANSFERRED. I KNOW WE DID A LITTLE BIT LESS WORK ON CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WERE WE HAD GOING ON. I KNOW I'M LIMITED BECAUSE SOME OF IT IS SPECIFIC FUNDING SOURCES THAT HAVE TO GO TO THOSE PROJECTS, BUT WE'VE STARTED THAT PROCESS IN ENGINEERING BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO WE NEED TO DO IT AS WE APPROACH THE YEAR END, BUT I KNOW THAT WITH THINGS LIKE THIS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO TO LOOK AT ALL OUR OPTIONS. YEP. GET THIS THING KNOCKED OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL. SO, OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, NO OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THAT'S AN OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD OKAY JILL I KNOW IN MY JOB I DON'T DO ANY.
MISSED ONE IN THERE. AND YOU MISSED ONE. YEP. WHICH ONE I DON'T REMEMBER. IT'S IT'S KIND OF RELATED. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE RINK. SO I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE HILBERT LOGOS THAT WERE EMAILED TO EVERYBODY. THE HEAD COACH BRIAN IS BACK THERE. I CAN BRING HIM UP IF YOU LIKE OR JUST IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING. I DO HAVE COPIES OF THE LOGOS IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. THEY'RE MAINLY THE HILBERT HAWKS. THEY'RE THEIR LOGO, AND THEN THE NCAA LOGO, AS WELL AS THE UNITED COLLEGIATE HOCKEY CONFERENCE. WHEN DID THOSE GET EMAILED? BRIAN? YOU KNOW, WHEN THOSE ARE EMAILED LIKE 4:00. OKAY. YEAH, YEAH. TODAY AT LIKE 430. SO THEN THERE WAS ALSO I CAN HEAR I'LL GIVE THEM EVERYBODY YOU GUYS. YEAH. I DON'T THINK I GOT, I DON'T REMEMBER. YEAH I DIDN'T I DIDN'T GET THAT. NO PROBLEM.
THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT COPIES. AND THEN THE PLACES THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE PLACED I ALSO HAVE PICTURES. SO IT'S LIKE RIGHT AS YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM ON EACH SIDE.
SO THAT'S ONE SIDE. THAT'S THE OTHER SIDE. AND THEN IT WOULD ALSO BE. ONE. HOW'S THE SEASON GOING? WE'RE IMPROVING. SO I DO HAVE TO SAY THEY HAD A FRIDAY GAME AND A SATURDAY GAME. AND YOU IMPROVED DRASTICALLY ON SATURDAY FROM YOU KNOW WHAT I HEARD. SO WHO'D YOU PLAY. US.
[00:20:08]
THAT'S $42 MILLION I'VE BEEN THERE YOU KNOW. AND WHEN WHEN THEY TALKED ABOUT RENOVATING THIS ARENA, THEY MADE FUN OF ME BECAUSE I SAID THAT IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE THE PLACE IS A DUMP. AND THEY SAID, ARE YOU GOING TO IF YOU BUILD WHAT YOU WANT? I'VE BEEN TO THE FACILITY. THEY BASICALLY SAID THAT THEY WERE GOING TO THAT I WANTED TO CALL IT THE TAJ BUGALSKI AS A JOKE THAT THEY MADE. AND I GUESS IF THEY LET ME CALL IT THAT, I WOULD. BUT I THINK HAMBURG THAT THE PIECEMEAL THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE WITH OUR COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE RINK WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH ECONOMIES OF SCALE, THAT'S FINE. PUTTING LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AT EXIT 57, BECAUSE THAT I'VE BEEN TO TOURNAMENTS THERE. THEY GOT THREE RINKS AND THEY USE IT FOR SOCCER. AND THEN IT'S ATTACHED TO I MEAN, IT'S IT'S. YEAH. AND THE PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO IN UTICA, THEY'VE MADE THEIR MONEY BACK IN TOURISM AND. WHEN WE WERE THERE IT'S VERY NICE. AND SO THE NICE THING TOO, ABOUT HAVING THESE DECALS IS THE GIRLS HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC ABOUT GIVING BACK AND TRYING TO REALLY INGRATIATE THEMSELVES WITH OUR YOUTH. FEMALE HOCKEY TEAMS. SO I THINK IT'D BE REALLY NICE FOR THE YOUNG GIRLS TO SEE AT A COLLEGIATE LEVEL, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE REALLY, IT'S NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT GIRLS HOCKEY REALLY TOOK OFF. IT'S, I MEAN, WHEN I, MY BROTHERS WERE PLAYING, I WOULD NEVER EVEN DREAM. YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY MAYBE ONE GIRL IN EVERY ORGANIZATION. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS WOULD BE A NICE, I THINK, A NICE THING. AND BRIAN, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THESE CAN BE REMOVED IF NEEDED. LIKE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. OKAY. SO IT'S LIKE THE STICKERS LIKE ON YOUR WALL. SO WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US? JUST APPROVAL. IT'S IN THE CONTRACT THAT THE BOARD HAS TO APPROVE THE DECALS BEFORE TODAY. THERE'S NO IT'S NOT A RESOLUTION. IT'S NOT NO, IT'S NOT A RESOLUTION. IT'S JUST IN THE CONTRACT THAT YOU FOLKS HAVE TO SEE THEM AND APPROVE THEM BEFORE THEY CAN HANG THEM UP. THAT'S ALL. I WENT THROUGH THE AGENDA AND I HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING ON THE AGENDA. YEAH, I DON'T BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE A RESOLUTION. I THINK YOU JUST HAVE TO SAY YES. YOU APPROVE OR NO, YOU DON'T. SO YOU'RE ASKING US RIGHT NOW? I MEAN, I HONESTLY THAT'S I GUESS QUESTION FOR ILLEGAL. HOW WAS THIS GOING TO LOOK WITH THE HAMBURG HAWKS AND THE I MEAN ARE THERE ARE THEY SIMILAR. THE DECALS I BELIEVE SO. AND IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF FUNNY BECAUSE WE LAUGHED WHEN WE FOUND OUT THEY WERE THE HAWKS. SO IT'S REALLY I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE THAT THAT MUCH OF A, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON AT HOCKEY RINKS TO HAVE. AND WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR? BRIAN.WHAT'S YOUR LAST NAME? PATRICK BECKER. SO MR. BECKER OR COACH BECKER CAN TELL YOU IT'S NOT UNCOMMON AT ARENAS TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE LOGO. AND THE HAMBURG HAWKS, THEY ACTUALLY THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOWN OF HAMBURG. THEY'RE A PRIVATE ENTITY. THE ONLY THING THAT THEY HAVE TO DO WITH HAMBURG IS THEY USE THE TOWN RINK. BUT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER GREATER RIGHTS, YOU KNOW, THERE. BUT I MEAN, I'M FOR IT. BUT THE NICE THING IS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF WHERE WE'RE HANGING IT, THE COLORS THAT WERE CHOSEN JUST TO MATCH THE RINK ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT IS IN THE LOGO AS WELL. SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'LL MARRY NICELY WITH THAT. I'M JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE THE, THE PAINT ON THE ICE ALSO. YEAH. SO I BELIEVE WE CHANGED IT TO BLUE KICKBOARDS. THAT WAS OR WAS IT. YES. SO THAT WAS ACTUALLY ADJUSTED. SO THE EVEN THE, THE KICKBOARDS ON THE ICE WILL MATCH BOTH LOGOS. SO THAT'S GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M NOT SURE IF A FORMAL APPROVAL IS NECESSARY FRANK, BUT I WILL RUN THAT BY KEN IF I NEED TO PUT A RESOLUTION IN, BUT I KNOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM UP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO I CAN POTENTIALLY ASK HIM A RESOLUTION NOW. I MEAN, THE RESOLUTION WHERE WE HAVE FOUR PEOPLE HERE, I'M SURE WE COULD COULD WE DO A LATE RESOLUTION, MAYBE JUST TO DOT OUR I'S AND CROSS OUR T'S? I I'D BE HAPPY TO. WE'RE ALL SITTING HERE SAYING THAT IT'S OKAY. YEAH. IT'S ON IT'S IN THE AGENDA. I MEAN IT'S IN THE MINUTES. SO I, I THINK THAT'S THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH. YEAH. OKAY. SO I THINK OKAY. SO I MAKE A MOTION OR I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE, I DON'T THINK WE DO A RESOLUTION AND WORK SESSION. I THINK JUST YOU JUST WANTED US TO ALL KNOW AND MAKE SURE. YEAH. JUST I MEAN, IF WE HAD IT WOULD JUST COME. RIGHT? THAT'S TRUE. THAT'S TRUE. YEAH. WE WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE, WE, YOU KNOW, FOLLOWED THE PROCESSES THAT IS IN THE CONTRACT. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS FORMAL APPROVAL, YOU KNOW, BEFORE ANYTHING WENT UP THAT WE KNOW. YES, EXACTLY. SO OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SKATE WITH MY HOCKEY TEAM LAST YEAR. DO YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS? SHE PLAYS ON THE THE US NATIONAL TEAM. SHE JUST PLAYED HERE LAST WEEK. LAST WEEKEND BECAUSE CANADA PLAYED US AND SHE'S PRETTY. AND THE BOYS WERE BLUSHING A LITTLE BIT WHEN SHE WAS SKATING AROUND,
