JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I, I SEE YOU'RE YOU'RE WITH US ON THE BEACH. LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PLEASANT EVENING THERE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU'RE MUTED GEORGE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: I ALWAYS TRY TO PROMOTE RYAN EVERY TURN, WHEREVER I GO.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I SEE. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THANKS. IT'S A PLEASURE, MR. MAYOR, I GUESS, AND GETTING CHRISTIAN OFF THE HOOK FROM WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: I'LL TRY TO BE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE TOUCH ON WHERE WE ARE WITH COVERT PRIMARILY AND THEN MR. MAYOR, I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT ME TO TAKE QUESTIONS. REALLY, IT'S ONLY BASED ON YOUR TIME FRAME.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE SAME NUMBERS THAT WE ALL ARE. AND THE NUMBERS REALLY OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS REALLY HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THERE'S BEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INFECTIONS, BOTH THE RATE OF INFECTION AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ACTIVE CASES. RIGHT NOW WE'RE SITTING AT ABOUT 6500 ACTIVE CASES OF OVID, IF YOU GO BACK GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: JUST, YOU KNOW, A MONTH AGO TO ELECTION DAY, WE WILL PROBABLY AT ABOUT 1500 CASES. SO IT'S MULTIPLIED OUT VERY FAST.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND ACTIVE CASES SOMEBODY THAT'S TESTED POSITIVE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND DID NOT CLEAR THE PROTOCOL AND GOT THROUGH THE THE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: INCUBATION PERIOD OF THE DISEASE. NOW IN ABSOLUTE NUMBERS WE'RE TESTING. A LOT OF PEOPLE. SO SOME FOLKS SAY, WELL, THE MORE YOU TEST THE MORE YOU GET POSITIVE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THE NEXT FIGURE THAT YOU LOOK AT IS THE IS THE DEGREE OF INFECTION COUNTY WIDE. WE'VE BEEN AVERAGING AROUND A 5% INFECTION RATE.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: IF YOU GO BACK TO THE SUMMERTIME WE WERE LESS THAN 1% MEANING 100 PEOPLE TESTED ONE PERSON POSITIVE 99 NEGATIVE. NOW YOU'RE RUNNING, YOU KNOW, 95 GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: NEGATIVE FIVE POSITIVE. AND WHILE THAT'S NOT A HORRIFIC RATE IS NOT 20% 30% INFECTION RATE 5% IS UP FROM ONE AND IT'S BEEN CONTINUING TO GROW OVER THE COURSE OF THESE LAST TWO MONTHS, THE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: HOSPITALIZATION NUMBERS. THE NEXT NUMBER THAT YOU LOOK AT FOR SEVERITY. SO YOU HAVE CAUGHT THE DISEASE. NOW THE QUESTION IS, DO YOU GET SICK, SICK ENOUGH TO WIND UP IN A HOSPITAL.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE SOMEWHERE NORTH OF 250 PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED. YOU'RE BACK AGAIN, A MONTH AGO WE WERE AT ABOUT 5040 TO 50 PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED. SO THAT NOBODY'S JUMPED.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: FIVEFOLD IN THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS NOW, THE MAGIC NUMBER COUNTYWIDE IS 3000 WHEN WE REACH YOUR EXCEED THE 3000 MARK, THEN WE RUN OUT OF BED SPACE.

[01:25:03]

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: YOU KNOW, ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF CIRCUMSTANCES. AND OF COURSE THERE'S ELECTIVE SURGERY. PEOPLE NEED THE NEW HIP. THEY NEED THE NEW KNEE. I THINK ABOUT THAT, AT MY AGE.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: BUT RIGHT NOW WITH THE COVEN LEVEL AT 250 WITH A TOTAL INVENTORY OF 3000 BEDS WERE OKAY WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. AND, AND OVER THE COUNTY SELLER YOU NO DOUBT SEEN IT.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: TENSE WILL PUT UP OUTSIDE THERE BY EIGHT MONTHS AGO BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE IS ABOUT 110 AVAILABLE BEDS. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN OPERATED THEY ADOPT AND PUT INTO OPERATION.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THEY ARE AVAILABLE. IF WE HIT THAT 3000 MAXIMUM GIVES US ANOTHER HUNDRED AND 10 BEYOND THAT.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: IF IT TURNS OUT THAT WE DON'T USE ALL THOSE BEDS FOR WESTCHESTER PURPOSES. THERE'S NO MOAT AROUND THE COMMUNITY. SO WE WOULD PICK UP EXTRA NEED THAT MIGHT EXIST IN THE BRONX OR ORANGE COUNTY ROCKLAND COUNTY AND SO GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THE FATALITY NUMBERS HAVE HAVE RISEN. THEY'RE NOT WHERE THEY WERE IN THE SPRING, WHICH WERE HORRIFIC.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A METRIC IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, THE TWO MONTHS TOGETHER. WE LOST 11 PEOPLE WHEN PEOPLE DIED FROM COVEN OVER THE TWO MONTHS.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THE LAST MONTH SINCE THIS TIME AGAIN IN THE EARLY PART OF NOVEMBER. WE'VE LOST 42 PEOPLE. SO THE COMPARABLE IS IS PRETTY DRAMATIC THAT WE'VE RAISED WE'VE RAISED THE NUMBER OF DEATHS.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: HOWEVER, THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE ALL HEARING ABOUT THE VARIOUS VACCINE PRODUCTS THAT ARE OUT THERE PFIZER MODERNA AND THE POTENTIALLY OTHER ONES THAT ARE COMING GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WE'RE WAITING TO HAVE THE STATE SORT OF LAY OUT A GAME PLAN AND WE THINK THEY'VE TASKED GREAT IN NEW YORK HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION AND NORTH WELL MEDICAL SYSTEM.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WHO COME UP WITH A GAME PLAN FOR DISTRIBUTION. I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO ASK THE COUNTY TO DO A BUNCH OF THINGS TO HELP WITH THE DISTRIBUTION. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS YET.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND AS SOON AS WE SEE WHAT THE DISTRIBUTION PLANS. WE'RE GOING TO SHARE IT TO THE MAYOR TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, ALL THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS AROUND GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: DETERMINE WHAT IS IT THAT REPRESENTING LOCAL INVOLVEMENT IN. THAT'S THE WAY THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE. I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ARE GONNA GET THE VACCINES FIRST AND GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: SECONDARILY, PROBABLY OUR POLICE, FIRE, MS. FIRST RESPONDERS WILL GET NEXT BECAUSE WE NEED FOR THEM TO STAY ON THE JOBS AS WELL.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND THEN HOW THEY PROCEED THEM THROUGH THE GENERAL POPULATION IS UNKNOWN, BUT WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S A CERTAIN QUADRANTS OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO TAKE VACCINES.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WHICH MAY MEAN THAT THOSE PEOPLE MIGHT STILL GET COVIDIEN COULD STILL FIERI. IN FACT, THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT VACCINATED AT THE TIME. SO THERE'S SOME OF THOSE ISSUES THAT HAVE TO BE WORKED OUT WELL.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: RIGHT NOW, AT THE MOMENT, AS I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW RYE HAS A SMALL PORTION OF YELLOW ZONE DESIGNATION IN THE AREA THAT BORDERS PORCHESTER GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: BUT THE CITY TO THE GREATER EXTENT IS NOT IN A YELLOW OR ORANGE ZONE, WHICH IS THE ONLY ORANGE ZONE IN THE COUNTY. THERE ARE FIVE OTHER AREAS THAT HAVE YELLOW ZONE INVOLVEMENT.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THE STATE HAS BEEN CHANGING THE, THE RULES OF THE GAME ON THIS. AND WHAT'S BEEN TESTED AND WHAT'S IN WHAT'S OUT IF IF WE WERE TO GO TO YELLOW IN RICE CITY.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THE MAJOR ACTIVITIES AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL, WHERE THE SCHOOLS WILL HAVE TO TEST STUDENTS AND STAFF IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN, WHATEVER. THERE ISN'T IN SCHOOL.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: TEACHING. IT DOESN'T MANDATE REMOTE. IT DOESN'T MANDATE IN SCHOOL OR HYBRID, BUT IT DOES REQUIRE A TESTING COMPONENT AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: SCHOOL DISTRICTS PLURAL. AND I REALLY PREPARED FOR THAT. SO THE CAT IS GONNA HAVE TO STEP IN AND BE HELPFUL AND FIGURE OUT HALF OF THEM TO MEET THOSE GOALS UNDER YELLOW GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THERE'S NO RESTRICTION ON BUSINESS COMMUNITY THERE'S NO RESTRICTION ON RESTAURANTS, OTHER THAN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AT THE TABLE.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: CAN TWO TABLES AND THEN YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT FOR PEOPLE TO THE TABLE. AND THERE'S SOME RESTRICTION AND HOUSES OF WORSHIP, BUT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS THAT ARE HOUSES OF WORSHIP CAN WORK.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: IF WE GO TO ARIZONA. WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NEXT DOOR AND PORCHESTER THEN IT BECOMES QUITE DRAMATIC.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ORIGINALLY SCHOOLS WERE SUPPOSED TO CLOSE THE GOVERNOR CHANGE THE PROTOCOL ON MONDAY, AND HE SAID THAT THERE HAS TO BE A HIGH LEVEL OF TESTING.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THAT SCHOOLS COULD REMAIN OPEN. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN YOU CLOSE SCHOOLS, YOU HAVE AN IMPACT OF THE COMMUNITY.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ACROSS THE BOARD, SO I'M JUST GOT TO BE HOME WITH CHILDREN. AND WHAT DOES THAT DO TO YOUR, YOUR EMPLOYMENT SPOUSES EMPLOYMENT AND SO FORTH.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: IT DOES END INDOOR DINING, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS A BIG ISSUE. WE KNOW THAT THE COUNCIL HAS HAD, YOU KNOW, VIGOROUS DEBATE ABOUT PURCHASE DEPOSIT INDOOR, OUTDOOR YADA YADA. ORANGE COUNTY.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ARIZONA DESIGNATION WOULD WOULD ELIMINATE INDOOR DINING AS AN OPTION, AND THERE IS THERE IS A GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ADVISORY FROM THE STATE OF HOW THEY INTERPRET TENTED OUTDOOR FACILITIES AS TO WHETHER THEY'RE TREATED AS OUTDOOR INDOOR DEPENDING ON THE AIR VENTILATION.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: NOW WE'RE GOING INTO THE NIGHT. I'M SURE THAT YOU KNOW GREG IS YOUR CITY MANAGER HAS ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENTS WITH IT NEEDS TO BE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AND SOME COMBINATION OF PEOPLE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WE CAN GET SHELLEY TO APPLE A DAY TO TALK TO THE CITY STAFF SO YOU'RE AWARE OF IT. IT DOES COMPLICATE THE RESTAURANT SITUATION IN THE END ZONE.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THERE ARE SOME BUSINESSES THAT ARE DEEMED NON ESSENTIAL IN THE ORANGE ZONE THAT WOULD STOP HAPPENING HEALTH CLUBS GYMNASIUMS BARBERSHOPS NAIL SALONS.

[01:30:12]

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: SINCE RISE CITY TO THE GREATER EXTENT IS NOT IN ANY OF THE ZONES RIGHT NOW. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY PREEMPTIVE CONVERSATIONS. BUT IF WE DO SEE YELLOW OR OTHER DESIGNATION.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WILL CONTACT THE MAYOR OF THE CITY MANAGER WILL SET UP A CALL THAT WILL INVOLVE THE COUNCIL MEMBERS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: SOME OF THE NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT WE TRY TO DO WITH COMMUNITIES WANTS TO GO INTO THE ZONES TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE OUT GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: YOU KNOW, TO PUBLIC EDUCATION, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW AND AND BOTH GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: YOU AND I, AND STEVE ODESSA CELLI MAYOR AND CATHERINE PARKER HAVE ALL OBJECTED TO THIS LITTLE PIECE OF YELLOW THAT HAS GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: BEEN MAPPED INTO WEST INTO RYE. IT'S THE AREA FROM ABOUT RIGHT COUNTRY DAY OVERWEIGHT HILLSIDE AND GRANDVIEW AND EVERGREEN HAS ENDED UP TO WHERE IT ATTACHES QUARTER CHEST GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND I WOULD GATHER, GIVEN WHAT I LOOKED AT THE MAP AND PROBABLY INCLUDE GOOD COLLEGE STREET, WHICH EVERYBODY THINKS OF HIS PORCHESTER BECAUSE IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 27 BUT IT IS STILL WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF RIGHT GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THAT THAT YELLOW ZONE DESIGNATION OVER THERE, FRANKLY, IS INEXPLICABLE. BUT THAT'S HOW ITS STRUCTURED AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME THAT DOES CREATE SOME PROBLEMS. GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: FOR THE SCHOOLS. THERE ARE NO BUSINESSES TO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FALL WITHIN THAT LITTLE OVERRIDE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND WE'VE TRIED TO, YOU KNOW, INDICATE TO THE GOVERNMENT THAT WHERE THEY DO THESE MAPS, I SHOULD GIVE US A CALL US LOCAL GUYS BECAUSE WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF THE GEOGRAPHY.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND YOU KNOW IN SOME COMMUNITIES. THE PRESENCE OF AN INTERSTATE MAY NOT MEAN ANYTHING BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND THEN ANOTHER COMMUNITY THAT INTERSTATE REALLY IS A FAIRLY BIG BARRIER.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: IN TERMS OF WHO GOES WHERE. AND WHO DOES WHAT, SO TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE YELLOW AND RAW YOU DO GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE NUMBERS DON'T WANT AN UPGRADE, BUT I MUST TELL YOU WHAT I'M WATCHING AS I SHARED WITH YOU BEFORE IT'S GONNA PULL UP. SO JUST TO SUMMARIZE, YOU KNOW, NEW YORKER, LIKE MANY OF YOU ARE TALKING AS FAST AS I CAN.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WE KNOW THAT THERE'S ARISE INFECTION RATE AND THEN THE NUMBER OF INFECTIONS. WE ARE TRYING TO PREPARE OURSELVES TO WORK WITH YOU AND EVERY OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: TO DEAL WITH IT AS BEST AS WE CAN, I THINK, TRUTHFULLY. THE ONLY REAL ANSWER IS AS FAST AS THE VACCINE GETS DISTRIBUTED GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: SOON AS WE SEE SOME VERSION OF A TREE, HAVE A DISTRIBUTION PLAN. IF YOU DON'T SEE AND WE DO WITH SHARED WITH YOU.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND WE'RE HAPPY TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY GROUP CALLS WHERE WE TALK THROUGH SOME OF THESE THINGS, I THINK, YOU KNOW, BOTH OUR PHILOSOPHY AND GOVERNMENT AND MY PERSONAL ATTITUDE. I DON'T LIKE TO IMPOSE THINGS I MUCH RATHER TALK THINGS THROUGH A COMMON UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAKES A GROUP DECISION.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: BUT WE'LL SEE HOW IT ALL PLAYS OUT. SO MR. MAYOR. THAT'S COVINA AT 100 MILES AN HOUR. I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE ONE LITTLE THING.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ABOUT OUR COUNTY BUDGET. WE'RE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF THE BETA THE COUNTY BUDGET YOU ARE THE PROCESS OF FINALIZING THE CITY BUDGET.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: LAST YEAR WE KIND OF MILLION DOLLARS OFF OF OUR TAX LEVY AND THAT HAD THE BENEFIT OF A 4% TAX DECREASE OR RICE CITY RESIDENTS VISA V. THE COUNTY PORTION OF TAXES.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: NOW, THAT'S BECAUSE OF EQUALIZATION RAID AND THE ASSESSMENT ROLES. BUT WE'RE CUTTING ANOTHER MILLION OUT. AND SO I'LL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT IT REPRESENTS A ANOTHER DECREASE OF SOME SORT.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND CERTAINLY AS YOU TRY TO CONTROL TAXES AND WE DO THE SAME. THE TWO OF US TOGETHER REPRESENT ABOUT THIRD DON'T WANT A WHOLE LOT OF PAYS AWRY.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND YOU KNOW WE DO WHAT WE CAN DO, THEN THAT GIVES US THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT AS WE GO FORWARD. SO MR. MAYOR, I APPRECIATE THE TIME I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU'D LIKE. AND I'M ALSO HAPPY TO LET THE INVISIBLE BOOK DRAG ME DOWN THE BEACH AND OFF THE SCREEN IN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GEORGIA, I WOULD, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD TAKE QUESTIONS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST LET ME FINISH. PAM. ALSO IF IF ANY OF THE PUBLIC ARE LISTENING IN AND WOULD HAVE QUESTIONS AND WE WERE CAPABLE OF ASCERTAINING THAT WILL TAKE THOSE TO PAM.

[01:35:02]

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: HOPE I DO, BUT I'M NOT SURE I DO GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THIS IS OUR COVEN COMMUNITY SUMMIT. THIS IS A JOINT EFFORT TO SIMILAR TO WHAT I'VE DISCUSSED ABOUT HAVING A GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: CALL THAT INVOLVES ALL OF OUR DIFFERENT COUNTY RELEVANT COUNTY OFFICIALS AND THEN THE LOCAL INDIVIDUALS.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: AND OF COURSE, BECAUSE THE PORCHESTER COMMUNITY IS A BILINGUAL COMMUNITY, IN MANY WAYS, WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN BOTH SPANISH AND IN ENGLISH.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THE MEETING STARTS AT 10 OR THE THE CONFERENCE STARTS AT 10 O'CLOCK. CERTAINLY, THE LINK IS OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO JOIN. IT'S A WEBEX MEETING SO GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: THERE ARE CERTAIN LIMITS THAT THAT EXIST ON THAT AND IF ANYONE IN THE RIGHT COMMUNITY WANTS TO PARTICIPATE WITH NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: ARE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU DO THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SHELLY TO AMBLER OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH THERE TO TALK THROUGH WHAT SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS ARE GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: IN TERMS OF TESTING AND ISOLATION, WE, WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN IN NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES GETTING PEOPLE TO FOLLOW THOSE RULES. THEY'RE. THEY'RE DIFFICULT GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: PEOPLE WHO WORK IN AN HOURLY BASIS AND GET PAID BY WHEN THEY SHOW UP AT WORK.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: REALLY OFTEN FEEL THAT THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO QUARANTINE OR ISOLATE UNLESS THEY GET SICK. SO DR. EMMA WILL GO THROUGH ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT DETAILS.

GEORGE LATIMER, COUNTY EXECUTIVE: WE ALSO HAVE FROM OUR, OUR OPERATION CATHERINE SHAFI WHO'S OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS, HE WILL TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE PUBLIC INFORMATION TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.

NIGHT.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY SO HEADING BACK TO MIDLAND RIGHT L LLC AND BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS I WAS SAYING, WE HAVE THE PUBLIC WITH US. I THINK IN NUMBERS THIS EVENING FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I'M SURE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL CHRISTIAN IF YOU

[01:40:14]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE. IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE AS A COUNCIL ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT NOW AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WILL IN THE ORDINARY COURSE COME UP LATER AND ARE APPROPRIATE FOR SITE PLANNING WHAT MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR TREATMENT. NOW, AND INSIGHT PLANNING FOR YOU TO HELP US WITH THOSE THOUGHTS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK, I THINK THAT MAY BE USEFUL FOR FOR EVERYONE PARTICIPATING CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YEAH, SO IN THE LAND USE PLANNING CONTEXT, WE REALLY HAVE SORT OF TWO PIECES. THERE'S A FEW MORE, BUT REALLY TWO PIECES.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THE FIRST OF WHICH IS THE ZONING CODE, WHICH IS THE ZONING LAW. IT'S THE LAW OF THE CITY. AND IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE LAW, YOU HAVE TO GO TO YOUR BOARD, THE RISE CITY COUNCIL.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS PROPERTY HAS CURRENT RESTRICTIONS IN THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICT. IT ALSO INCLUDES TWO OTHER PROPERTIES. THERE ARE ALSO IN THIS DISTRICT. THE OTHER ONE IS OWNED BY THE APPLICANT ON MIDLAND AND THE THIRD ONE TECHNICALLY IS THE RYE MARISSA PROPERTY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN USES THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. BUT THE ZONING DOES NOT CURRENTLY ALLOW CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND SO FOR ANY PROCESSING OF AN APPLICATION OF THAT NATURE. THE FIRST STEP IS TO CHANGE THE ZONING AND ZONING IS THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ALL FUTURE APPLICATIONS. ONCE THEY COMPLY WITH ZONING WOULD THEN GO TO A SECOND PHASE WHICH IS THE RICE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WHERE THEY WOULD EVALUATE THE SPECIFIC REQUEST AS PERMITTED BY ZONING. SO FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S OFFICE CURRENTLY PROPOSED TODAY IF THE APPLICANT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ARE CURRENTLY PERMITTED TODAY THE APPLICANT WANTED TO BUILD A NEW OFFICE BUILDING, THEY WOULD GO APPLY TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT NEVER APPEAR BEFORE THE SPORT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUT THOSE OTHER USES THAT THEY'RE SEEKING TO HAVE ADDED TO THE ZONING DISTRICT WOULD GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION PHASE YOU WOULD GET INTO THE REAL DETAILS OF THE US SPECIFICS OF THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THE IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT TRAFFIC MAY OR MAY NOT BE THERE OR SOUND OR NOISE OR ENVIRONMENTAL OR TREE LOSS OR ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL DOES AT THIS STAGE YOU'RE AT A HIGHER LEVEL YOU'RE AT 30,000 FEET, LET'S SAY, CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT ARE THE USES APPROPRIATE WHAT KINDS OF RESTRICTIONS SHOULD WE HAVE ON THOSE USES WHAT KINDS OF THINGS MIGHT WE ANTICIPATE THOSE USES MIGHT GENERATE AND HOW CAN WE AS A COUNCIL DRAFT THIS LEGISLATION TO MANAGE THAT TO MAKE TO MAKE THOSE CONCERNS. GO AWAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ZONING DOES HAVE ITS LIMITS BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARILY INTENDED TO BE PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY, ALL OF YOU LIVE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT ARE CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ZONING DISTRICTS THAT PROBABLY WERE CREATED IN THE 50S.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND YET, AND IN THE 50S. THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY ANTICIPATED ALL THE VARIOUS CHANGES, BUT THE ZONING DOES ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO DO THINGS WITH THEIR HOMES IN THESE ZONING DISTRICTS CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND THOSE GO THROUGH VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, BUT AT THIS STAGE, YOU'RE REALLY AT THAT HIGHER LEVEL, LOOKING AT THE USES LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE THE PERMITTED SETBACKS.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND THAT'S THE CONVERSATION THAT YOU'VE BEEN HAVING. THAT'S THE APPLICANTS PETITION TO CHANGE THE ZONING AND WE HAVE COUNCIL HERE TONIGHT, THEY WILL DO THEIR PRESENTATION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING BUT THAT'S SORT OF THE OVERVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF PLANNING AND ZONING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO WE WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PUBLIC SESSIONS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHERE WE, AS THE COUNCIL HAVE DISCUSSED THE TEXT. I THINK THAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN PLEASED TO SEE THE APPLICANTS WILLINGNESS TO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AMEND THE TEXT TO ENTER INTO DISCUSSION WITH US AND AMEND THE TEXT. AND IN FACT, ON NOVEMBER 24 MRS IN OUR AGENDA PACKAGE WE DID RECEIVE YET FURTHER CHANGES IN TEXT. I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL HAS HAD A CHANCE TO WORK THROUGH THOSE WITH THANKSGIVING IN INTRUDING

[01:45:14]

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: MR. MAYOR, I WOULD JUST RECOMMEND THAT THE APPLICANT REALLY SHOULD START OFF WITH A PRESENTATION TO PRETEND THEIR PETITION AND SO THAT THE PUBLIC HAS A CONTEXT. OBVIOUSLY ALL THE WRITTEN MATERIALS ARE THERE MAYBE SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T GET THROUGH THAT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IT WOULD GIVE A CONTEXT FOR WHICH YOU COULD THEN HAVE A COMMENT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE OBSERVATION, YOU KNOW, BEFORE I THINK THE APPLICANT SHOULD SHOULD DO, LIKE WHAT YOU SUGGEST CHRISTIAN BUT ALSO CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: STAY IN. ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE US A TIMELINE YOU CAME TO THIS PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL IN 2019 AND THEN WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND NOW WE'RE COMING BACK. OKAY, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, AND JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND YES, SO I ALSO HAVE REQUESTS STEVE OF VIEW FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT HAS SEEMED TO ME THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, LET'S CALL IT A LONG TERM TEMPORARY USE OF THE SITE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN OTHER WORDS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, MIDDLE AND RYE WANTS TO KEEP THE EXISTING BUILDING IN PLACE FOR A PERHAPS AS LONG AS THE DECADE, BUT PERHAPS AT AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. IT MAY WISH TO CHANGE WHAT'S ON THE PROPERTY AND THAT WILL BE A SEPARATE PROCEEDING.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS. SO IF YOU CAN ADDRESS THE TIMELINE AT MARYLAND RYE BELIEFS. IT'S WORKING WITH THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. HAVING READ THE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LETTERS FROM RESIDENTS THAT WE HAD RECEIVED PRIOR TO THIS EVENING. I KNOW THAT THE USE AND STORAGE OF CHEMICALS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN THE BUILDING IS OF CONCERN AND TO THE EXTENT YOU'RE ABLE IF YOU CAN ADDRESS THE TYPES OF CHEMICALS QUANTITIES AND HOW THEY MUST BE KEPT THAT WOULD BE, I'M SURE. VERY HELPFUL IF IF IF YOU NEED OTHERS TO ADDRESS THAT AND THEN JUST MAKE A NOTE, PLEASE. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO CONCERN.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FROM A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND AND I'M BY NO MEANS COVERING ALL THE CONCERNS AND THE REST OF THE LETTERS, BUT THESE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT SEEMED UNDERSCORED AND AND REALLY MOST USEFUL FOR YOU TO GRAB HOLD OF STEVE AS WE GO THROUGH TREATMENT OF THE WOODED AREA.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR THAT THAT RUNS FROM MIDLAND UP PECK.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND AND AND SO WITH WITH THOSE ASKS OF YOU. I'LL TURN THE FLOOR OVER TO YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF I COULD JUST ADD ONE ON TO ONE OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I THINK THE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE THE LETTERS AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW THE APPLICANT WILL WILL READ ALL OF THE LETTERS, BUT JUST ONE THAT SORT OF STOOD OUT FOR ME WAS SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A RATHER LENGTHY ONE FROM JOHN LEONARD AT NUMBER ONE FOR WALLACE AVENUE AND HE'S ASKED FOR. HE SAYS A RECONCILIATION OF THE OWNERS UPBEAT TONE IN THEIR REAL ESTATE IN DEPTH NOTE FROM SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARTICLE WITH THE MORE SORT OF SOMBER OUTLOOK FOR SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE FUTURE IN THE AK RF MEMO. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED EITHER TONIGHT OR OR IN THE FUTURE.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU.

STEVEN WRABEL: OKAY, SO WITH THAT I'LL GET STARTED. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS STEVE YOU'RE ABLE WITH LAWFUL STEVEN WRABEL: BURNER AND STOUT. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A VERY SAFE AND HEALTHY THANKSGIVING.

[01:50:03]

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT TO GIVE THE PUBLIC A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT IT IS WE'RE LOOKING TO DO HERE. I'LL JUST REITERATE THAT, YES, THE INTENTION IS TO KEEP THE OLD AVON BUILDING IN PLACE, BUT TO ALLOW NEW STEVEN WRABEL: SPECIAL PERMIT USES, WHEREAS THE CODE CALLS AND USES SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE BUILDING.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND THE IDEA IS THAT YOU KNOW THIS OLD AVON BUILDING WHICH HAS BEEN HERE ISSUES HAS BEEN HERE SINCE THE LATE 50S, IT WAS PRIOR THEIR WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITY.

STEVEN WRABEL: IT WAS LATER CONVERTED TO A DATA CENTER IN OFFICE SPACE AND IT'S NOW VACANT. SO GEORGE COMFORT HAS INVESTED IN THIS PROPERTY, THEY'VE PURCHASED IT AND WHAT THEY HAVE IS AN UNDERUTILIZED ASSETS AND RYE.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND WHAT THEY'RE HOPING TO DO IS EXPAND THE LIST OF PERMITTED USES SO THAT THEY CAN MARKET, THE EXISTING BUILDING AND BRINGING SOME TENANTS AND HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY FOR THEMSELVES AND FOR THE CITY.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO WE'RE REQUESTING A ZONING AMENDMENT TO ADD NEW USES TO PROPERTY PETITION FOR THIS AMENDMENT WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN, I BELIEVE, SEPTEMBER OF 2019 STEVEN WRABEL: AND THEN, AS IS THE PROPER PROCEDURE YOU THE COUNCIL REFERRED OUT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THEIR INPUT AND RECOMMENDATION.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO WE SPENT A FEW MONTHS IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. WE MADE A NUMBER OF REVISIONS BASED ON THEIR INPUT.

STEVEN WRABEL: THEIR THOUGHTS, THEIR QUESTIONS AND THEN THEY ULTIMATELY ISSUED A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE LOCAL LAW AND SENT IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL.

STEVEN WRABEL: WE APPEARED BACK AT THE COUNCIL FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON NOVEMBER 4 WE HEARD YOUR STEVEN WRABEL: IMPRESSIONS AND QUESTIONS WE MADE A NUMBER OF SUBSEQUENT REVISIONS. WE CAME BACK TO YOU ON NOVEMBER 18 WE HEARD ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS AND WE HAVE SINCE REVISED THE LOCAL LAW AGAIN TO ADDRESS THOSE.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO THE SPECIFIC USES WE'RE PROPOSING THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY PERMITTED IN THE BE FIVE DISTRICT MEDICAL OFFICE SELF STORAGE DAYCARE AND CHILDCARE.

STEVEN WRABEL: FINISHING ASSEMBLING FACILITIES FOR PRODUCTS, I SHOULD SAY NOW LIKE FINISHING AND ASSEMBLING AND PRODUCT TESTING FOR CONSUMER GOODS.

STEVEN WRABEL: ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE HAD BEEN ASKED AS PART OF OUR PLANNING COMMISSION PROCESS WAS THE NATURE OF THE SELF STORAGE USE AND I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE COMMENTS COMING IN FROM THE PUBLIC.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND I'VE SEEN CHEMICAL STORAGE IS A BIG CONCERN AND I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR CHEMICAL STORAGE IS NOT A USE THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED.

STEVEN WRABEL: THERE IS LANGUAGE IN A LOCAL LAW IS PUT IN AT THE REQUEST OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION BECAUSE THEY SAID YOU'RE LOOKING TO DO SELF STORAGE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE CHEMICAL STORAGE.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO THEY RECOMMENDED A STANDARD WHICH WE TOOK A LOOK AT AND ADOPTED WHICH WHEN I TURN THIS OVER TO PETER FOR. OH, HE CAN SPEAK TO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.

STEVEN WRABEL: THAT ESSENTIALLY PROHIBITS CERTAIN CHEMICALS AND CERTAIN QUANTITIES ON PROPERTY, THE INTENTION IS NOT TO CREATE A CHEMICAL STORAGE USE AND I WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND THEN WE TOOK THAT LANGUAGE THAT WAS IMPOSED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON SELF STORAGE AND WE CARRIED IT OVER TO FINISHING AND ASSEMBLING AND WE CARRIED IT OVER.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND TRACK THAT LANGUAGE ON PRODUCT TESTING AS A MATTER OF DUE COURSE, BECAUSE WE THOUGHT, WELL, IF THIS IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONCERN ON SELF STORAGE.

STEVEN WRABEL: LET'S JUST CARRY IT OVER TO THESE OTHER USERS. SO I WANT TO MAKE THAT POINT CLEAR BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A BIG CONCERN FOR NEIGHBORS, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY.

STEVEN WRABEL: AND I'LL LET PETER FOR DIG INTO SOME OF THE DETAILS ON ON THOSE CONDITIONS, BUT THE IDEA WAS, WAS NOT TO CREATE A CHEMICAL STORAGE, USE THE LANGUAGE IS IN THERE TO PROHIBIT THAT STEVEN WRABEL: I SAW SOME OTHER QUESTIONS ON YOU KNOW DAYCARE AND CHILD CARE WHICH IS CURRENTLY PERMITTED AS AN ACCESSORY USE STEVEN WRABEL: THAT WAS ACTUALLY ALSO ADDED UP THE REQUEST TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THEY THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE USEFUL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WAS SOMETHING THEY WANTED TO SEE AS A PERMITTED PRINCIPAL USE BUT REALLY THE IDEA HERE IS TO MAKE THIS MARKETABLE.

STEVEN WRABEL: WITHIN REASON. AND SO AS WE EXPLAINED OVER THE PAST TWO MEETINGS WITH THE COUNCIL AND, AS WE'VE CONTINUED TO EVOLVE OUR LANGUAGE. WE'RE TRYING TO LIMIT.

[01:55:03]

[5. Mayor and Council amendments to the proposed 2021 City of Rye Budget. Roll Call ]

STEVEN WRABEL: WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES, TWO DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANYTHING THAT WOULD IN ANY WAY. REMOVE PROTECTIONS FOR EXISTING TREES OR PLANTINGS. SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO PETER FOR OH PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THANKS, STEPHEN, I'LL, I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE THE POINT IS TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS HERE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THAT I DON'T USURP THAT TIME, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WHAT WHAT STEVE SAID THE POINT WAS SIMPLY OF THIS ZONING AMENDMENT IS TO PROVIDE OPTIONS AND TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY MARKET THIS PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THIS PROPERTY OFFICE USES WITHIN THE REGION, ESPECIALLY STANDALONE OFFICE USES PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): OUR IN DECLINE. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE AN OFFICE USE AT THIS SITE. IT JUST MEANS THAT IT IS CONSIDERABLY HARDER TO MARKET AS AN OFFICE USE AND FIND TENANTS TO FILL UP THE BUILDING. AND I THINK THAT'S EVIDENCE YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY AS AVON.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): LEFT THE FACILITY. SO THE POINT IS JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PETER, IF, IF, IF I MAY, I THINK I'M AND FOLLOWING UP ON SARAH'S QUESTION AND JOHN LEONARD'S QUESTION, THE QUESTION AND JOHN LEONARD IS RESIDENT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE, THE QUESTION WAS IS THAT VIEW OF DECLINING OFFICE USE STILL CORRECT, GIVEN THE IMPACT OF COVEN AND THE CHANGES THAT WE ARE SEEING OR THINK WE'RE SEEING IN WORKING AND WORKING IN COMMUTING PATTERNS IN THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): SO, THAT THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A FULLY 100% CONFIDENT ANSWER, BUT MY CRYSTAL BALL A LITTLE, A LITTLE CLOUDY, I CAN SAY FOR ONE I'M ANXIOUS TO GET BACK TO THE OFFICE AND OUT OF MY BEDROOM, AS I THINK PROBABLY MANY OF YOU MIGHT BE AS WELL.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AND AND SO I THINK IT'S TRUE. WE HAVE SEEN SOME UPTICK IN OFFICE ABSORPTION IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): WE'VE ALSO SEEN EXODUS. I THINK THE LONG TERM TRENDS AND THE LONG TERM FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE VIABILITY OF STANDALONE PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): OFFICE BUILDINGS AND AND KIND OF ACTUALLY MORE TO THE POINT, TALK ABOUT WHERE THOSE OFFICE BUILDINGS, WANT TO BE LOCATED AND WHERE THE, WHERE THE, THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR LONG TERM TENDENCY IS I DON'T THINK THOSE FUNDAMENTALS HAVE CHANGED, RIGHT, WE'VE SEEN THAT PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): OFFICE BUILDINGS IN MIXED USE CENTRAL BUSINESS CENTERS.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): TEND TO DO BETTER THAN OFFICE BUILDINGS OUTSIDE OF CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS THAT DON'T OFFER THOSE KIND OF LIVE WORK AMENITIES.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AND WE'VE SEEN THAT IS THAT IS THAT AN ABSOLUTE RULE. ABSOLUTELY NOT. THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE. AND SO THE GOAL.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): OF THIS THIS ZONING AMENDMENT IS TO PROVIDE OPTIONS AND FLEXIBILITY TO MARKET AND TO TENANT THIS BUILDING, WHICH WOULD HAVE A BENEFICIAL IMPACT NOT ONLY FOR THE OWNER, BUT FOR THE CITY OF RYE.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): BUT TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT IS SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SENSITIVE TO THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THOSE USERS. SO WHAT WE DID WAS TRY TO IDENTIFY USES PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THAT ARE BOTH IN DEMAND AND WOULD BE LESS HAVE LESS OF AN IMPACT OR THE SAME IMPACT AS A TRADITIONAL BUSINESS OFFICE YOU SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO REINVENT THE WHEEL HERE. WE'RE TRYING TO SAY WE HAVE AN EXISTING BUILDING PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): HAVING TROUBLE LEASING IT IN THIS ENVIRONMENT AS A STANDALONE STRAIGHT UP BUSINESS OFFICE US. AND SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS IDENTIFY USES THAT WORK HERE THAT ARE ARE IN DEMAND ECONOMICALLY VIABLE.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): BUT THAT DO NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS AND THAT'S REALLY HOW WE CAME UP

[02:00:02]

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THERE ARE TWO LAYERS OF ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TOP OF USES WITHIN THE BE FIVE ZONING DISTRICT THAT ALREADY EXIST THERE YOUR STANDARD PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): RESTRICTIONS ON ANY KIND OF SPECIAL EXCEPTION USES THAT GIVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION EXTRA LEVERAGE OVER THOSE USERS AND HOW THEY'RE CITED, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL TO LIMIT SIZE BASED ON ON IMPACT. AND THEN THERE ARE SITE SPECIFIC ZONING SPECIFIC PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): REQUIREMENTS AND ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ACCESS PARKING LIGHTING PLANS.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): ETC. AND SO WE TOOK THOSE AND WE ADDED ON TO THEM TOGETHER WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND TOGETHER WITH YOUR COUNCIL, WE ADDED ON TO THOSE LIST OF IMPACTS TO FURTHER PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): CONSTRAIN THE POTENTIAL THAT REUSE OF THIS EXISTING BUILDING WITH THESE OTHER USES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE NEIGHBORING PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): RESIDENT BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING WE OBVIOUSLY DO NOT WANT TO DO SO WITH ALL OF THESE USES WE WE ADDED A NEW REQUIREMENT TO THE BE FIVE ZONING DISTRICT THAT PRIMARY ACCESS, INCLUDING ACCESS FOR ALL DELIVERY VEHICLES HAS TO BE ON MIDLAND AVENUE, AS OPPOSED TO PACK.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): WE PUT IN A REQUIREMENT THAT THERE WOULD BE NO OUTSIDE STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS. I MEAN, NONE WAS INTENDED, BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE THAT CRYSTAL CLEAR. WE WANTED FOR THE TESTING AND ASSEMBLY USES. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): FOUND THAT THOSE USES WOULD NOT HAVE GREATER IMPACT THAN A COMMERCIAL OFFICE USE SO THAT WHEN A SPECIFIC TENANT COMES IN AND WHEN THERE'S A SPECIFIC SITE PLAN PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS NOT ONLY THE ABILITY TO BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THAT THOSE USES THAT ARE PROPOSED THAT SPECIFIC SITE PLAN WOULD NOT HAVE GREATER IMPACT THAN AN OFFICE USE PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AND AND KIND OF WE WENT ON FROM THERE AND WE WE'VE DONE OUR BEST TO WORK WITH YOU AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): TO REALLY CODIFY OUR INTENT, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THESE ARE LIGHT USES USES THAT ARE GENERALLY FOUND OFTENTIMES AS ACCESSORY USES TO EXISTING BUSINESS OFFICES.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): BUT MIGHT BE USED AS A PRIMARY USE IN, IN CERTAIN CASES, AND TO REALLY KIND OF HIM IN THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND THEN GIVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE TOOLS NECESSARY.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): TO MAKE SURE WHEN A SITE PLAN COMES TO THEM. THEY CAN ENSURE THAT THAT THE INTENT OF YOUR LEGISLATION IS MET BY OUR SITE PLAN. AND SO THAT'S REALLY THE GOAL IN TERMS OF THE CHEMICAL STORAGE.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AGAIN, THIS WAS LANGUAGE THAT CAME FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. AND THE GOAL WAS TO PROHIBIT PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THE STORAGE OF CHEMICALS AND AND THE, THE LANGUAGE SOUNDS A LITTLE SCARY. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE LAW THAT IT CAME FROM IS A LITTLE SCARY.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): IT'S AN OUTGROWTH OF THE HORRIFIC ACCIDENT IN BHOPAL BUT IT REGULATES THE STORAGE OF CHEMICALS.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AND REQUIRES COMMUNITY. NOTICE, BASED ON HOW MUCH OF A CERTAIN CHEMICAL IS STORED ON SITE. SO, THESE, THESE REQUIREMENTS EXIST TODAY.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): YOU HAVE TO NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IN DMS. IF YOU STORE CERTAIN CHEMICALS OVER A CERTAIN CERTAIN AMOUNT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE BEING ANYWHERE NEAR THAT AMOUNT.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): YOU HAVE TO NOTIFY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FILL OUT A FORM. IF YOU USE OR RELEASE CERTAIN CHEMICALS. AGAIN, WE DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR THOSE LIMITS, BUT THEY DO PROVIDE PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): KIND OF A GUIDELINE. SO IF SOMEONE STORES ACETONE.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): YES, YOU CAN STORE A LITTLE BIT OF IT. IF YOU STORE A LOT OF IT. NOW YOU'RE SUBJECT OF REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS LANGUAGE SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): SO I WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR. THE LANGUAGE WAS PUT IN THERE SPECIFICALLY TO PROHIBIT THE STORAGE OF THOSE QUANTITIES OF CHEMICALS. SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THAT, I THINK I'LL TURN IT BACK TO STEVE OR TURN IT BACK TO YOU, ERIC OWN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE UP ALL THIS TIME.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PETER I I I'M SURE WE ALL APPRECIATE THAT I DO.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT WITH RESPECT TO THE STORAGE OF CHEMICALS LANGUAGE ITS STATED

[02:05:04]

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): OTHER SORTS OF COMPANIES THAT USE REALLY LARGE QUANTITIES OF THIS OF THESE CHEMICALS. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE REPORTABLE LIMIT COMES IN. AND SO, IT, IT'S, THERE'S BOTH AN ABSOLUTE LIMIT AND THEN A LIMIT ON PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): THE, THE CHEMICAL USAGE AND STORAGE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND AGAIN THAT DEPENDS ON ON THE CHEMICAL AS WELL. SO IT'S HARD TO SAY IT'S, YOU KNOW, AN ABSOLUTE THIS OR THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS THAT ARE REGULATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AND, AND, KIND OF, AS I SAID EARLIER, THE, THE LIMITS. THERE ARE SEVERAL REQUIREMENTS IN THIS FEDERAL IN THIS FEDERAL LAW THAT HAS TO DO WITH NOTIFICATION AND THERE ARE PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): AGAIN NOTIFICATION LIMITS THAT WERE SET BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SO THAT IF CERTAIN CHEMICALS ARE STORED IN CERTAIN QUANTITIES AT ANY POINT IN TIME, YOU HAVE TO LET LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES KNOW AND THE CITY KNOW AND OTHER THINGS. SO, SO THAT'S REALLY THE GOAL. SO THERE IS NO PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): KIND OF, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CREATE A LOOPHOLE, WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS TRYING TO CREATE A STANDARD THAT MADE SENSE WITHOUT GOING PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): CHEMICAL BY CHEMICAL KNOWING THAT THAT'S SIMPLY NOT THEIR EXPERTISE, NOR OURS.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): BUT WHAT IT ALSO DOES IS GIVE THE PLANNING BOARD THE PLANNING COMMISSION THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE AT THE TIME OF THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL TO ENSURE THAT THE INTENT OF THIS LEGISLATION.

PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): IS MET SO WHEN AN APPLICANT COMES WHEN WHEN WE COME IN WITH A SPECIFIC TENANT WHEN THERE IS A SPECIFIC TENANT AND SITE PLAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN REPORT ON WHAT THEY USE AND THE NORMAL COURSE OF EVENTS. UNTIL THEN, WE, WE CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T WE SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION PETER FEROE (AKRF, INC.): SO UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES OURSELVES NOW.

THANK YOU.

STEVEN WRABEL: THANK YOU, PETER. SO I GUESS BEFORE WE OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM PETER DUNCAN. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO RESPOND TO THESE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON THE BUILDING TIMELINE.

PARRISH DUNCAN: SO I HOPE I AM BEING HEARD, HAVING A LITTLE TECHNICAL ISSUES AT THE DUNCAN HOUSEHOLD TONIGHT I'M PARRISH DUNCAN: THE TIMELINE.

PARRISH DUNCAN: WE ARE IN THE MARKET TO LEASE SPACE AND WE'RE LOOKING AT TENANTS THAT ARE LOOKING TO TAKE 10 TO 15 YEAR LEASES WITH, YOU KNOW, OPTIONS TO EXTEND SO I'M NOT PARRISH DUNCAN: YOU KNOW, OUR TIMELINE IS PARRISH DUNCAN: THAT WE'RE RUNNING THIS AS, YOU KNOW, EFFECTIVELY IT PRIMARILY AS AN OFFICE PROPERTY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS THAT. AND AS FAR AS THE PLANTINGS AND STUFF, THE EXISTING PLANTINGS THAT ARE RUNNING DOWN PACK. WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF PARRISH DUNCAN: DOING ANYTHING WITH THOSE PLANTINGS. OTHER THAN THAT, TRY TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY AND LIVING IN SUCH AND AND PROBABLY DO BETTER. MAYBE A BETTER JOB OF PARRISH DUNCAN: YOU KNOW, MAYBE LANDSCAPING THAT OUR FRIENDS AT AVON DID THAT'S OUR CURRENT INTENTION JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU.

STEVEN WRABEL: OH,

[02:10:02]

STEVEN WRABEL: STEVE JUST GONNA SAY, UNLESS THE COUNCIL HAS ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR US AT THIS POINT WE WOULD TURN IT OVER TO THE PUBLIC.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COUNCIL.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SHOW, WE JUST GO STRAIGHT TO THE PUBLIC. THAT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KRISTEN. DO WE FORMALLY HAVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING KRISTEN WILSON: YES, IF SOMEONE CAN MAKE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MOVED. OPEN THE PUBLIC HERE.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'LL SECOND.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL IN FAVOR.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, RAISE YOUR HAND. AND THE MAYOR AND MYSELF WILL ALLOW WILL RECOGNIZE YOU ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE HAVE CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: PAMELA HOUSE HERE TO SPEAK. I'M GONNA JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MEET IN THREE MINUTES THAT KRISTEN WILSON: YES, I WILL START THE TIMER FOR EACH SPEAKER.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE DO HAVE A THREE MINUTE CUSTOM FOR EACH SPEAKER. HOWEVER, IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK LONGER THAN WE SIMPLY ASK THAT YOU WAIT UNTIL JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OTHER SPEAKERS WHO ARE WAITING HAVE SPOKEN, THAT IS ADD YOURSELF TO THE END OF THE END OF THE LINE AND THEN WE'LL HEAR, HEAR YOU A SECOND TIME.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO JUST A SIMPLE THING JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, PAM, YOU ARE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. NOW, CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IS NOT THE PRACTICE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT I DID JUST RECEIVE A NOTICE THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE USING AN OLDER VERSION OF ZOOM. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE HEARD IS PROMOTE YOU TO PANELISTS. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE MUTED. YOU'RE VISIBLE. GREAT TO SEE YOU, BUT FOR OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IT MAY NOT BE THAT WAY IT'LL JUST BE YOUR VOICE IN NAME.

PAMELA HAAS: WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU FOR THAT ACCOMMODATION. I APPRECIATE IT. I DID UPDATE MY MY ZOOM VERSION, BUT MAYBE NOT APPROPRIATELY. WE'LL SEE.

PAMELA HAAS: I'M DOING A SOUND CHECK BECAUSE I HAVE A MISERABLE, MIKE. AM I EASILY HEARD, RAISE YOUR HAND, PLEASE, IF YOU'RE HEARING ME. WELL, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

PAMELA HAAS: I'M PAMELA HAS I LIVE AT THREE TECH AVENUE IN APARTMENT 35. SEE, I'M ALSO SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF A NEIGHBOR WHO CALLED ME.

PAMELA HAAS: JUST BEFORE THE MEETING. HE DOESN'T HAVE A COMPUTER, BUT HE FEELS STRONGLY ABOUT THIS AS WELL. AND HE ASKED ME TO SPEAK FOR HIM. HIS NAME IS JAMES RUSSO. HE LIVES IT TO PECK AVENUE IN APARTMENT 26 B AS IN BOY.

PAMELA HAAS: I HAVE A NUMBER OF CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ZONING REVISION BEING PROPOSED.

PAMELA HAAS: FIRST, THERE'S THE TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE PRESENTED BY CHANGING FROM AN OFFICE ONLY TO A MULTI USE FACILITY.

PAMELA HAAS: THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM LIGHT. I'M GOING TO CALL IT MANUFACTURING TO STORAGE OF DIFFERENT THINGS, INCLUDING CHEMICALS MEDICAL OFFICES AND DAYCARE.

PAMELA HAAS: THIS MEANS WE'RE GOING TO FACE, NOT ONLY A LOT MORE PASSENGER CAR TRAFFIC BUT ALSO AN INCREASE IN TRUCKING PAMELA HAAS: NOW I KNOW TRUCKS ARE GOING TO ENTER AN EXIT ONLY ON MIDLAND AVENUE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY WON'T TRAVEL DOWN TECH AVENUE, WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE OURSELVES EXITING BY CAR, AND ON FOOT.

PAMELA HAAS: NOT TO MENTION THE NOISE AND THE STINK OF IT ALL. THAT WILL MOST CERTAINLY ONLY GET WORSE WITH THIS NEW USAGE. SECOND, I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES.

PAMELA HAAS: THOSE CONCERNS BEGIN WITH THE NOISE FROM THE EXISTING AVON EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH FACES. YES, WERE RIGHT COLONY AND THE GABLES WHICH BOTH RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

PAMELA HAAS: NOW WE'VE ADDED IN THE POTENTIAL FOR UNKNOWN TYPES AND QUANTITIES OF CHEMICALS ON THE ON THE PREMISES, WILL THEY ALSO EXHAUST OUT TO US.

PAMELA HAAS: AS WELL AS GOOD MATERIALS ARE BEING USED TO FINISH AND ASSEMBLE PRODUCT.

PAMELA HAAS: WHERE ARE THE SPECIFIC PLANS FOR AVOIDING THAT IT'S THE LACK OF SPECIFICITY AND ALSO THE EXCEPTION IN SEVEN D OF THE PROPOSAL.

PAMELA HAAS: TO THE REPORTABLE QUANTITIES THAT ARE A GREAT CONCERN TO ME. AND SPEAKING OF CHEMICALS. I MEAN REALLY PEOPLE SMALL CHILDREN ILL PEOPLE.

PAMELA HAAS: STORAGE OF ALL KINDS OF THINGS, INCLUDING CHEMICALS, ALL IN THE SAME BUILDING. I DON'T STORE CHEMICALS AT HOME.

PAMELA HAAS: AND I SURELY DON'T WANT MY FAMILY TO BE SUBJECTED TO IT IN THE SAME BUILDING AS THE DAYCARE CENTER THAT MY CHILDREN GO TO OR THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE THAT WE GO TO I'VE WALKED THE PROPERTY. IT'S ONE BIG LONG BUILDING

[02:15:05]

PAMELA HAAS: THE THEN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE DETAILS ABOUT EXACTLY HOW THE EXISTING NATURAL TERRAIN ON THE PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE PRESERVED AND MAINTAINED.

PAMELA HAAS: BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE RESIDENT CURRENTLY SEEING ENJOY FROM OUR HOMES AND SIDEWALKS A SPEAKING OF TOURING THE PROPERTY. WE'VE NEVER BEEN INVITED PAMELA HAAS: I WAS STRUCK BY THE DEVELOPERS COMMENTS DURING A CITY COUNCIL MEETING THAT HE LIVES IN RYE AND RESPECTS THE WISHES OF THE NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS.

PAMELA HAAS: SINCE WHEN DOES A NEIGHBOR NOT GET IN TOUCH. WHEN HE'S PLANNING A MAJOR CHANGE ON HIS PROPERTY ACROSS THE STREET.

PAMELA HAAS: MR. DUNCAN SAID PUBLICLY AT THE MEETING THAT HE WOULD. AND HE HAS NOT, NOT TO THIS DATE THIS LACK OF OUTREACH TO THE RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

PAMELA HAAS: TO ME INDICATES NOTHING LESS THAN DISREGARD AND DISRESPECT THE AVON PROPERTY IS BEAUTIFUL AND POTENTIALLY USABLE IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS. BUT THE WASTE PROPOSED OR AN INSULT AND A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

PAMELA HAAS: I ALSO AM GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE PERMANENCY OF THIS REVISION BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE'S AN OFFICE.

PAMELA HAAS: BUILDING OR AN A COMPANY THAT HAS RECENTLY MOVED TO RYE FOR SPECIFICALLY THE REASONS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. SO WHY DO WE WANT TO LIMIT OUR TAX INCOME PERMANENTLY OR EVEN SEMI PERMANENTLY WITH A CHANGE LIKE THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CHRISTIAN ERA. NEXT SPEAKER PLEASE LET ME CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: LET ME CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: HIDE AWAY. OKAY, LET ME LET ME GET RID OF MOVE PAM TO TO ATTEND THE STATUS. OKAY, YOU SHOULD STILL BE THERE. PAM. OKAY, NEXT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: GREAT, THANK YOU.

BRY ARO: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME. I'M BRY ARO: NAME IS BRIAN ARROW. NOW I'M I LIVE IN THE RIGHT COLONY AS WELL. THREE AVENUE. I HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME CONCERNS AS MY NEIGHBOR PAM DOES BRY ARO: IT'S FOR THOSE OF YOU FAMILIAR WITH IT. IT'S HUNDREDS OF HOMES IN THAT DEVELOPMENT. MANY OF THEM ARE YOUNG FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN ZONING OR REZONING IT TO BE A PROPERTY THAT CAN HOUSE CHEMICALS IS VERY DISCONCERTING. I KNOW MY WIFE IS SO ON WITH A MEDICAL ISSUE.

BRY ARO: I SEE SOMEONE SHAKING THEIR HEAD ON THE CITY COUNCIL, NOT SURE. I APPRECIATE THAT TREMENDOUSLY. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROMISES ANYONE ON THE COUNCIL OR THE DEVELOPER CAN GIVE ME THAT THEY KNOW THEIR CHEMICALS WOULDN'T AFFECT SOMEONE WITH PULMONARY SARCOIDOSIS BRY ARO: THIS IS NOT A FLOOD ZONE, BUT WE ARE WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE WATER. SO MY INSURANCE IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BECAUSE WE ARE HIGHER RISK OF FLOOD THAN SOMEONE ELSE.

BRY ARO: THIS IS HIS OWN BECAUSE OF THE TREES WE GET FREQUENT POWER OUTAGES. UM, I HAD TO BUY A GENERATOR. THIS PAST SUMMER BECAUSE WE GOT SICK OF LOSING OUR POWER.

BRY ARO: I'M A TWO OR THREE TIMES PER YEAR. SO IF THIS IS A FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO HAVE CHEMICALS THAT SUBJECT TO FLOODING AT POTENTIALLY LOSING POWER.

BRY ARO: THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME, EVEN IF THERE IS SPECIFICS RELATE TO WHAT CHEMICALS THAT CAN AND CANNOT HAVE

[02:20:03]

BRY ARO: DAYCARE PRESENTS ISSUES RELATING TO TRAFFIC.

BRY ARO: AROUND DROP OFF AND PICK UP TIME. THAT WILL BE A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREA. PECK AVENUE ISN'T REALLY A ROAD DESIGNED FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC.

BRY ARO: AS MY NEIGHBOR ALREADY SAID IT IS SOMETIMES HARD TO GET OUT OF THERE AS IT IS BECAUSE THE RELATIVELY NARROW ROAD JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A BEND. SO THAT COULD REALLY CREATE A BURDEN FOR THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THESE COMMUNITY.

BRY ARO: AND OF COURSE, CONSTRUCTION, IF IT'S GOING TO BE RESOLVED. IT'S GOING TO BE REBUILT IN SOME RESPECT AND MAY, AND I'M SURE NONE OF MY NEIGHBORS WANT TO LIVE AROUND A CONSTRUCTION ZONE FOR HOWEVER MONTHS OR YEARS IT TAKES TO REPURPOSE THAT FACILITY. SO THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS, UM, BRY ARO: I SEE NINE OF YOU. I HOPE THE EIGHT OF YOU WHO WEREN'T SMILING AND SHAKING YOUR HEAD AT ME WHILE I WERE TALKING TOOK THAT A LITTLE BIT. SERIOUSLY. THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BRIAN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M, I'M, I DIDN'T SEE THE SMILING AND HEAD SHAKING THAT THAT YOU YOU NOTED, AND I'M QUITE SURE THAT ALL OF US ON THE COUNCIL, I HAVE TAKEN YOUR COMMENTS VERY SERIOUSLY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, I'M GOING TO TRY NINE ONE. THE PHONE NUMBER, ENDING IN 917 I'M UNMUTED YOU YOU MIGHT TRY HITTING STAR SIX CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: TO UNMUTE YOURSELF BUT I'M DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL, PHONE NUMBER, ENDING IN 917 CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AH, THERE'S SOMETHING 1914****917: BUT I, GOOD EVENING.

1914****917: I AM THE PERSON WHO COULD NOT BE HEARD BEFORE. I AM CATHERINE BUCKLEY, I LIVE AT RIGHT COLONY AND I AM IN UNIT 54 B AS IN BOY.

1914****917: AND I SHARE THE CONCERNS THAT MY TWO NEIGHBORS HAVE VOICED I AM PARTICULARLY CONCERNED WITH THE TRAFFIC TRUCK TRAFFIC AND OF COURSE THE CHEMICALS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT POSSIBLE IMPACT OF THOSE CHEMICALS.

1914****917: IN ADDITION, I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE. WHAT KIND OF LIABILITY INSURANCE. THE OWNERS CARRY IF THEY ARE GOING TO LET PEOPLE STORE STORE THINGS THERE AND USE CHEMICALS.

1914****917: AND MANUFACTURING MANUFACTURER MEGA MENU FACTOR THINGS THERE. WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE WILL BE REQUIRED OF THEM, HOW WILL THAT BE 1914****917: CHECKED AND ACCOUNTED FOR. WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE AND LIABILITY COVERAGE WILL THE PEOPLE OR THE COMPANY'S LEASING SPACE FROM 1914****917: THAT GROUP BE REQUIRED TO HAVE, I THINK THAT WE NEED SOME ASSURANCES AS RY RESIDENTS THAT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR LIFESTYLE WILL NOT BE IMPACTED NEGATIVELY WITH THIS. I AM NOT TOO HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT 1914****917: THIS THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN GENERAL AND 1914****917: THAT IS THE 1914****917: YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE THE SUMMARY OF MY COMMENTS.

1914****917: SO, JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CATHERINE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JOSH RIGHT JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU'RE FINE QUESTION, TOO, BECAUSE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S COME UP ALL THE TIME. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED. I THOUGHT WHAT WAS JUST EXPLAINED, WAS THAT THERE IS ACTUALLY A PROHIBITION AGAINST CHEMICALS IN THIS BUILDING IN ANY SORT OF VOLUME OR SUBSTANCE SO JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THOUGHT THAT WHAT WE WAS EXPLAINED, WAS THAT THERE IS, THERE ARE NO CHEMICALS AND NOT THAT THEY WERE PERMITTED CHEMICALS. CAN WE JUST CLARIFY THAT FOR ME AND FOR THE PUBLIC WHO SEEMS TO. I'M NOT SURE.

STEVEN WRABEL: SO I'LL JUMP IN HERE AND PETER FRO YOU CAN SUPPLEMENT AS NEEDED WITH YOUR EXPERTISE BUT THAT'S MORE OR LESS CORRECT COUNSEL ON THE SOUZA, STEVEN WRABEL: I CAN SAY AT LEAST PERSONALLY WHEN WE CAME INTO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THE IDEA OF CHEMICAL STORAGE WASN'T EVEN SOMETHING THAT HAD CROSSED MY MIND.

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT THE COMMISSION IN DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT IS SELF STORAGE MEAN STEVEN WRABEL: ASKED ABOUT CHEMICAL STORAGE AND THEN SOUGHT TO PROHIBIT IT BY IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS AND THEN WE CARRY THAT LANGUAGE OVER TO OTHER USES.

STEVEN WRABEL: THINKING THAT, YOU KNOW, WANTING TO ACT IN GOOD FAITH, WE WOULD WOULD TRACK THE LANGUAGE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD HAD WANTED FOR SELF STORAGE. SO TO THE EXTENT THAT CHEMICAL STORAGE AS A AS A USE IS BEING DISCUSSED. THAT'S, THAT'S NOT ON THE TABLE. IF THERE IS

[02:25:12]

STEVEN WRABEL: WE'VE ACTUALLY EVEN ADDED A LANGUAGE THAT IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ANY OF THOSE ASSOCIATED MATERIALS DOES FALL WITHIN THAT RESTRICTION, WE WOULD NEED TO SPECIFICALLY, GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND SAID WE HAVE TO PROVE TO YOU THAT THIS STEVEN WRABEL: MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING WHICH HAS, I DON'T KNOW. ANSWER ANTISEPTIC IN LARGE QUANTITIES FOR CLEANING WOUNDS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

STEVEN WRABEL: AFTER YOU GET A SHOT. WE NEED TO PROVE TO YOU THAT ALL OF THAT CAN BE HANDLED SAFELY AND IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT HAS NO IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORS. AND THAT'S OUR BURDEN OF PROOF.

STEVEN WRABEL: BUT AGAIN, THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE THOUGHT OF AS A PRIMARY OR MAJOR PART OF ANY OF THESE USES STEVEN WRABEL: THE ONLY REASON CHEMICAL LANGUAGES IN HERE AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS FLAGGED IS BECAUSE THE PLANNING COMMISSION WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT INDIVIDUALS USING SELF STORAGE.

STEVEN WRABEL: MIGHT NOT TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO BRING CHEMICALS ONTO THE PROPERTY WHICH HAS NOW BEEN EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S STANDARDS.

STEVEN WRABEL: I HOPE THAT CLARIFIES IT SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RICHARD SAYS THANK YOU JUST, I JUST HAVE ONE FOLLOW UP.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: QUESTION, MAYBE IT'S MORE FOR CHRISTIAN SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I HEAR WHAT STEPHEN IS SAYING. BUT DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR OR OTHER BUSINESS DISTRICTS OTHER BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICTS HAVE SIMILAR RESTRICTIONS, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, A, YOU KNOW, SORT OF A SAFETY THING. SO, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S JUST THIS BUSINESS DISTRICT. WHY IS IT JUST THIS BUSINESS DISTRICT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YEAH, THE GENESIS. I'M SORRY. YEAH.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I CAN ANSWER THAT. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RENTED SELF STORAGE SPACE. THERE WAS NO RESTRICTION ON THE NUMBER OF CHEMICALS OR ANY PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION. I COULD HAVE STORED IN THAT SPACE.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MARTHA WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST SELF STORAGE FACILITY AND SHE WANTED AS CLEAR AS CAN BE.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT FOR SELF STORAGE. WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO GO AND BUY A LARGE QUANTITY OF ANY CHEMICAL ON SALE AND STORE IT THERE FOR USE ELSEWHERE SELF STORAGE IS KIND OF RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S ONE OF, LIKE I SAID, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL OVER. BUT IF YOU'RE WRITING IN THE RULES IN ADVANCE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE STORING IT WE'RE GOING TO BE THE ONLY COMMUNITY.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT ARE GOING TO SAY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO STORE THINGS HERE AND RIGHT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING IN THAT STORAGE, WITHIN REASON.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE WE'RE I HAD SELF STORAGE, I COULD PUT ANYTHING I WANT. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT 100 CANS OF PAINT ON SALE AND STORE IT THERE. NOWHERE BE NONE THE WISER. THAT'S WHAT WE WERE, AND SPECIFICALLY MARTHA WAS TRYING TO AVOID RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND HOW AND I SHOOK MY HAND THAT GENTLEMAN WAS RIGHT, BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THEY'RE NOT GETTING THIS. WE'RE NOT ALLOWING IT WE'RE TRYING TO PROHIBIT IT, WE DON'T WANT THEIR THE PLANNING COMMISSION. WE DO NOT WANT THOSE CHEMICALS FOR SELF STORAGE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THE BROTHER. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE THERE'S NO DEFINITION AND IT'S CERTAINLY HARD FOR ME AND PRESUMABLY THE PEOPLE IN RIGHT COLONY, WHO ARE SPEAKING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO UNDERSTAND WHAT A REPORTABLE QUANTITY IS AND AND A GEEK. AGAIN, IF, IF, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BOTTLE OF RUBBING ALCOHOL ON THE SHELF IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S ONE THING. IF WE'RE IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A A 55 GALLON DRUM. THAT'S ANOTHER THING. AND SO PER PERHAPS THE RYE MIDLAND TEAM CAN BE THINKING OF HOW TO I REALIZED THAT THIS LANGUAGE MAY HAVE COME FROM A PLANNING COMMISSION SUGGESTION AND THEN FROM A STATUTE, BUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PERHAPS IT'S NOT COMMUNICATING CLEARLY THE INTENTION OF THE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND IN THE HOPES OF THE NEIGHBORS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LET ME JUST INTERJECT A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE. ONE IS

[02:30:06]

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHO IS A MEMBER OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHO MARTHA IS CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND SECOND, IT WOULD IT WE NEED TO USE A LITTLE BIT OF COMMON SENSE IF PEOPLE ARE USING THESE FOR SELF STORAGE. IT'S NOT A PETROCHEMICAL PLANT USING WEST, THE SORT OF LIKE TO STORE THEIR CHEMICALS OR THEIR WHATEVER CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THINGS ARE GOING TO START, THEY'RE GOING TO GO TO AN INDUSTRIAL SIZED WAREHOUSE. I'M ASSUMING THE WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE HERE. SO THIS IS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO STORE. MAYBE THEY HAVE A HOBBY AND THEY HAVE CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THEY HAVE SOME PAINT MATERIAL OR, YOU KNOW, WE CAN USE SOME COMMON SENSE IN HERE AS WELL.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH WHAT THE MAYOR SAID BECAUSE I DO SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DO, I DO HEAR WHAT WHAT THE NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING AND I TO IF I LIVED NEXT DOOR TO TO A FACILITY WHERE THE CHARACTER.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF THE AREA WAS GOING TO CHANGE. I WOULD WANT COMFORT THAT THAT THAT MY MY NEIGHBOR THAT IS GOING TO CHANGE IS GOING TO YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A SAFE PLACE FOR ME TO LIVE NEXT DOOR TO. SO I THINK WHAT JOSH IS SAYING IS, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICANT CAN PROVIDE SOME SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SPECIFICITY AND COMFORT ON ON THE CHEMICALS, BECAUSE IT IS VERY HARD TO VISUALIZE OR TO HAVE THAT CONCEPT OF WHAT A REPORTABLE LEVEL IS AND SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, I THINK THE BURDEN IS ON THE APPLICANT WHO IS ASKING FOR A CHANGE. THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF ZONING AMENDMENT, CHANGE THE BURDEN IS ON THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE COMFORT TO ITS IN PARTICULAR ITS NEIGHBORS.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITH SOME ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE COUNCIL WHO ARE ALL SAYING REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC, IF THAT'S OKAY.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO A CHRISTIAN AIR. OUR NEXT. OUR NEXT SPEAKER.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, JUST FOR THE RULES. I SEE PEOPLE THAT HAVE RAISED THEIR HANDS. PREVIOUSLY, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THOSE LATER A NEW CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: MATTHEW SULLIVAN.

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: HELLO, HOW ARE YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU, MATTHEW, PLEASE TELL US WHERE YOU LIVE.

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: I AM SURPRISED. RIGHT. I AM IN RIGHT COLONY AS WELL AND HOPE EVERYONE HAD A, YOU KNOW, HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A COUPLE MINUTES HERE.

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: I LISTENED TO, I GUESS, YOU KNOW, THE OPTIONS HERE. AND WHAT WAS DISCUSSED. AND I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS. SO THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE MATTHEW SULLIVAN: THE VAGUENESS OF WHAT THE LLC IS ASKING FOR, I THINK, IF THERE IS TOO BROAD OF A DISCRETION AND IF IT'S TOO VAGUE. I THINK YOU COULD POTENTIALLY BE INVITING MATTHEW SULLIVAN: PROBLEMS DOWN THE LINE, I CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE OF WANTING TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO HAVE UNLIMITED MATTHEW SULLIVAN: FLEXIBILITY, WHICH MATTHEW SULLIVAN: YOU KNOW, COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS DOWN THE LINE IN TERMS OF MANY, MANY NUMEROUS THINGS AND ALLOWING SOMEONE TO DO ESSENTIALLY WHATEVER THEY WANT. AND YES, I GUESS THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IS CHANGING.

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: BUT I MEAN, AVON EVERYONE'S GONE BECAUSE THEY THEY HAD A, YOU KNOW, INEFFICIENT BUSINESS THAT ONE GIRL, NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T DEMANDING.

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: AS MUCH OFFICE SPACE ANYMORE AND THAT'S CYCLICAL THAT WILL COME BACK YOU KNOW IN HOPEFULLY IN SOME TIME, BUT MATTHEW SULLIVAN: IT'S NOT A LONG TERM TREND WHERE NO ONE IS GOING TO BE USING OFFICE SPACE ANYMORE AND YOU HAVE TO USE, YOU KNOW, STORAGE UNITS OR CHEMICALS. THE SECOND OTHER PEOPLE MENTIONED THE TRAFFIC.

[6. Open the public hearing on the 2021 Budget. ]

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: THERE WERE LACK OF CROSSWALK. IT'S A BLIND CURVE. IT'S A LITTLE DANGEROUS. I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE MORE TRAFFIC THAT PEOPLE CROSSING OVER FROM THE TRAIN STATION THAT COULD PRESENT AN ISSUE.

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: FOR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. THE OTHER THING IS, THIS MAY BE THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SEE WHEN THEY GET OFF THE TRAIN. I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, HAVING LIKE A CHEMICAL YOU KNOW FACILITY OR SUB STORAGE UNIT.

[02:35:03]

MATTHEW SULLIVAN: I STAYED UNDER THREE MINUTES.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YOU. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I'M NEXT SPEAKER, WHERE'D YOU GO CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: LAUREN LAUREN NEWMAN, YOU HAVE AN OLDER VERSION OF ZOOM. SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE VISIBLE AND IF IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE'RE OKAY.

LAURA NEWMAN: SURE, I'M FINE WITH THAT, THANK LAURA NEWMAN: YOU AND I DID UNMUTE MYSELF.

LAURA NEWMAN: I ALSO LIVE IN RIGHT COLONY. I'M IN UNIT 311 BE I KNOW I THINK PEOPLE MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE OVER THE EDGE WITH THE STORAGE AND THE LAURA NEWMAN: CHEMICALS AND WHATNOT, BUT I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THE DENSITY OF THE POPULATION OVER HERE AT RIGHT COLONY. I MEAN, LAURA NEWMAN: YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT ABOUT 180 UNITS, I BELIEVE, AND I DON'T KNOW, LET'S SAY AN AVERAGE OF TWO PEOPLE IN EACH UNIT.

LAURA NEWMAN: OR MAYBE EVEN MORE SO IT'S. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE ON THE PROPERTY AND IT'S ACROSS THE STREET. SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO LAURA NEWMAN: KEEP IN MIND, AND I WOULD THINK THAT SOME OF THE ZONING LAWS WOULD COVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THE ZONING LAWS DIFFER BASED ON POPULATION DENSITY, BUT I JUST WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHILE YOU'RE MAKING YOUR DECISIONS. THANK YOU.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY. GIVE ME A SECOND.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THERE YOU ARE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, NEXT WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK, BACK TO THE PHONES WE HAVE A PHONE NUMBER, ENDING IN 494 CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND YOU'RE GONNA I'VE UNMUTED YOU SO YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO HIT STAR SIX, I GUESS.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: PHONE NUMBER ENDING IN 494 CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IT WAS A 1914****494: BEAR. YES, Y'ALL. THIS IS JOHN LEONARD CURRENTLY ONE APPLE. I'LL MISS AVENUE FORMER RESIDENT OF LOUD AND WOODS FOR 30 YEARS HOUSE THAT JULIE SUSAN THOSE PRETTY WELL.

1914****494: TWO POINTS I'D LIKE TO MAKE ONE IS 1914****494: FIRST OF ALL, I JUST AS PREFACE, I WELCOME THE STATEMENT THAT THE OWNER CURRENT OWNERS ARE IN THIS FOR THE LONGER TERM. IT'S A WELCOME CHANGE FROM WHAT WE SAW EITHER OVER UNITED HOSPITAL OR WITH THE ST. REGIS PROJECT.

1914****494: HOWEVER, I THINK THE SECOND POINT SHOULD BE THAT 1914****494: THE OWNERS ARE ASKING FOR CHANGES THAT WOULD CONSIDERABLY IMPROVE THE FINANCIAL PROSPECTS AS THE PROJECT WHICH THEY'RE TOTALLY ENTITLED TO DO AND WHICH THE 1914****494: CITY IS TOTALLY FREE TO EITHER APPROVE OR DENY. THERE'S NO COMMITMENT OR REQUIREMENT THAT IT BE DONE.

1914****494: I THINK THE QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE RAISED IS WHAT QUID PRO QUO SHOULD RIDE THE GETTING 1914****494: IF IT IS TO GO AHEAD WITH THE 1914****494: MAKING THE USE OF THE BUILDING MORE FLEXIBLE AND MORE IN TUNE WITH CURRENT 1914****494: MARKET NEEDS. I THINK ONE IMMEDIATE. ONE WOULD BE TO SHARE THE POTENTIAL 1914****494: WITH THE CURRENT WITH THE OWNER. THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS WOULD BE AS PART AND PARCEL OF THE CHANGES TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT THAT ANY CURRENT TAX GRAVEN 1914****494: GRIEVANCE BE WITHDRAWN AND PERHAPS TO HAVE A 10 YEAR MORATORIUM ON EITHER A NEW GRIEVANCE OR ON ANY INCREASE IN THE ASSESSMENT BY THE CITY.

1914****494: SO THAT THE 1914****494: PROJECTED BENEFITS ARE UPFRONT SHARED WITH THE CITY AND ITS TAXPAYERS.

1914****494: THE SECOND POINT THAT I THINK REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED HERE, THE HISTORY HERE IS WE HAD TOO EXPENSIVE AND BRUTAL BATTLES WITH AVON AND ITS SUCCESSOR OWNER IN THE 1980S THAT RELATED TO THE FACT THAT THE CURRENT ZONING ON THIS SITE WOULD ALLOW

[02:40:21]

1914****494: I THINK THE FLOOR AREA RATIO ON THIS SITE FOR OFFICES IS 1914****494: AND WAS 18 ACRES TO PLAY WITH. SO YOU CAN GET IT IN A PRETTY LARGE NUMBERS AVON PRESENTED A PROPOSAL TO PUT ALMOST A MILLION SQUARE FEET ON THE COMBINED SIDE IN 1982 AND AND THERE WAS A QUOTE SCALED DOWN. AND TO QUOTE 1914****494: 700,000 SQUARE FOOT REQUESTS IN 1988 BOTH THE CITY AND ITS RESIDENTS SPENT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TRYING TO BEAT THESE BACK. I'M STILL NOT SURE WHETHER THEY WERE 1914****494: TURNED DOWN BECAUSE AVON WAS A GOOD CORPORATE CITIZEN OR BECAUSE, PARTICULARLY IN 98 THE OFFICE MARKET WAS HEADED SOUTH IN A HURRY.

1914****494: BUT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY CORRECT THE ZONING.

1914****494: THE MASTER PLAN. EVERYONE AGREES IS OBSOLETE.

[8. Residents may be heard on matters for Council consideration that do not appear on the agenda. ]

1914****494: WE NEED, WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER BATTLE THAT WILL COST THE CITY OF A LOT OF MONEY AND WILL COST THE 1914****494: COMMUNITY, A LOT OF MONEY TO FIGHT IT. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE FLOOR AREA RATIO FOR THIS SITE, PARTICULARLY THE PART THAT IS AT PACK IN MIDLAND I'M MUCH LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PARK BETWEEN THE TWO INTERSTATES WHICH, MORE POWER TO YOU CAN USE IT.

1914****494: BUT I SUGGEST THAT THE ZONING BE CHANGED TO WHERE THE FLOOR A RATIO IS AT A MAXIMUM EQUAL TO THAT OF A BEFORE DISTRICT.

1914****494: BEYOND THAT, FRANKLY, I KIND OF WELCOME THE IDEA OF A GOOD BIT OF FLEXIBILITY IN THE USE OF THE PROJECT RIGHT DOES HAVE SOME HISTORY OF MANUFACTURING PT BOATS FOR THE NAVY IN WORLD WAR TWO. FOR EXAMPLE, JOHN AND JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JOHN WE HAVE A TIME IT TIME I AM I AM AT A 1914****494: TIME AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE PHONES. AGAIN, PHONE NUMBER, ENDING IN 506 CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YOU NEED TO UNMUTE 506. THERE WE GO.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: NO, NOT THERE YET HIT STAR SIX. IF YOU WANT TO UNMUTE YOUR PHONE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: PHONE NUMBER 506 WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU. YOU WANT TO HIT STAR.

SIX.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'LL MAYBE COME BACK TO THAT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: 506 IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RE. RE. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK. NEXT IS A LOT OF TALK IS CHRISTINE DOWNS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HI, CHRISTINE, COULD YOU GIVE US YOUR JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ADDRESS, PLEASE.

CHRISTINE DOWNES: SURE, I LIVE AT TO PACK AVENUE, A UNIT TO 10 K. AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I ECHO AND CONCUR WITH MY FELLOW NEIGHBORS. I THINK RY COLONY IS OFTEN VIEWED AS ONE, BUT IT IS 180 UNITS AND OVER 350 INDIVIDUALS, MANY OF WHOM ARE YOUNG CHILDREN AND ELDERLY CHRISTINE DOWNES: BUT I'M GOING TO FOCUS TODAY ON THE TRAFFIC WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN ITS CURRENT ITERATION, A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE REDRESS.

CHRISTINE DOWNES: REGARDLESS OF WHOEVER MOVES INTO THIS AVON BUILDING PACK AND MERLIN IS FREQUENTLY TRAVELED BY COMPUTERS AS WELL AS SCHOOLCHILDREN CHRISTINE DOWNES: JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR, WHICH DID NOT STOP AT THE STOP. SO I'M ALWAYS WALKING WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE STROLLER.

CHRISTINE DOWNES: NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDITIONAL TRUCKS AND CARS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO AREN'T MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND MY DRIVE MORE RECKLESSLY CHRISTINE DOWNES: OFTEN WHICH SELF STORAGE FACILITIES COME WITH A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SECURITY CONCERNS AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED. WILL THERE BE PRIVATE SECURITY 24 HOURS IN THE SPACE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, WE'RE GONNA TRY 506 AGAIN.

[02:45:05]

1347****506: ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KEEPS COMING UP.

[7. Consideration to set a public hearing to adopt a Local Law to override the State enacted tax levy limitation for December 16, 2020. ]

1347****506: EVERY NIGHT YOU HEAR THE TRUCKS THAT ARE DOING THE CONSTRUCTION ON 95 AND TWO EIGHT TO 87 AND TO HAVE MORE ON THAT STREET IS JUST CRAZY.

1347****506: WE'RE, WE'RE LITERALLY THE SIEGE BY THE CONSTRUCTION ARE READY. I MEAN, WE WERE SPEAKING FROM WHAT WAS FORMERLY A BLAST ZONE WHICH WE WOULD HEAR 1347****506: WE ALSO HEAR THE BACKUP OF THE VEHICLES ALL NIGHT AND NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A NEW FACILITY POSSIBLY OR EXPANSION OR CONSTRUCTION IN THERE AND THAT IS A BIG CONCERN.

1347****506: IN SO FAR AS SOMEONE MENTIONED FLOODING. YES, I WAS HERE WHEN PACKED A AVENUE INTO MIDLAND FLOODED.

1347****506: THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO HAPPEN AROUND HERE AS THE MAYOR CAN TELL YOU WE WERE WE WERE CITED AS BEING ONE OF THE FIRST PROPERTIES TO SUPPOSEDLY GET BACK POWER FROM CON ED. WE DIDN'T GET IT.

1347****506: SO IT'S ONE OF THESE THINGS WERE PROBABLY THE LARGEST GROUP OF CONSTITUENTS AND RYE AND MAYBE THE MAYOR CAN CLARIFY THAT.

1347****506: BUT IT REALLY IS. IT'S OF CONCERN WHEN YOU LIVE ACROSS THE STREET WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING ON. AND THANK YOU, SARAH FOR MENTIONING THAT BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IS OUR BACKYARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

1347****506: THANK YOU.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ANOTHER OLD VERSION OF ZOOM. THANK YOU ZOOM. SO WE'RE GOING TO PROMOTE DENISE. WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: CAN YOU HEAR US. DENISE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: DENISE, YOU'RE CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: UNMUTED, AND CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: CAN YOU HEAR US.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: NOT SURE I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD. OH ATTENDEE DENISE. IF YOU WANT TO

[9.

All public hearing comments should be emailed to publichearingcomments@ryeny.gov with “Osborn Zoning Change” as the subject no later than 12:00 pm on January 6, 2021. ]

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON. SO NOW. ANYBODY ELSE WHO HASN'T ALREADY SPOKEN. WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

KRISTEN WILSON: I'M CHRISTIAN. THERE WERE TWO TO DENISE'S IF YOU LOOK IN THE ATTEND MAYBE TRY THE OTHER ONE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I'LL DO THAT NOW. OKAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WHERE DOES THE OTHER ONE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WHERE'S THE OTHER ONE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: CAN YOU GET IT FOR ME. KRISTEN.

YEAH.

KRISTEN WILSON: OH, SORRY. THEY MOVED

[10. Old Business/New Business. ]

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: DENISE. YOU'RE ON WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

DENISE IOBBI: OKAY. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AH, THANK YOU. YES.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ALL RIGHT.

DENISE IOBBI: HI, I'M CALLING FROM DENISE AND I'M CALLING WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS FROM RYE COLONY AND I'M GOING TO HAVE KEN TAYLOR, WHO IS THE PRESIDENT SPEAK.

DENISE IOBBI: HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR US.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES.

DENISE IOBBI: OKAY. HI, MR. MARIA. HOW ARE YOU DOING, JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, HOW ARE YOU OKAY DENISE IOBBI: ALL RIGHT, I'M JUST FINE. I JUST DENISE IOBBI: I WANTED TO COVER A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY HAVE BROUGHT UP BUT DENISE IOBBI: WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A GREAT OBJECTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON ACROSS THE STREET, EXCEPT FOR THE LIGHT MANUFACTURING DENISE IOBBI: YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BRING MORE TAXES TO THE CITY. THAT'S FINE. WHEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT TO BRING LIGHT MANUFACTURING UP 300 FEET AWAY FROM US.

DENISE IOBBI: THIS WOULD HAVE EVOLVED BRINGING RAW MATERIALS INTO THE AREA THEN FINISHING THEM OFF AND THEN SHIPPING THEM OUT AGAIN, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT WOULD BE 24 SEVEN TRAFFIC WITH TRUCKS IN THIS CASE ON

[02:50:06]

DENISE IOBBI: MUCH LESS. WE HAVE TRIED DENISE IOBBI: BEFORE THE COVEN WHILE WE HAD THE DENISE IOBBI: THE RIGHT STATION OPEN. OH, TWICE A DAY. WE HAVE THE COMPUTERS COMING IN AND OUT. PLUS, WE'D HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT AND IN MOST OF THE TIME, RIGHT.

DENISE IOBBI: RIGHT COLONY PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN GET OUT OF HERE. SO I MEAN WE HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONSIDERATION OF HOW THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE PARKING DENISE IOBBI: AND DENISE IOBBI: AVOID LIGHT MANUFACTURING THIS TERRIBLE. I DID MENTION THAT PT BOATS THAT'S EVEN BEFORE MY TIME, BUT I DO REMEMBER THAT THERE'S NOTHING BOTH BOYS AND PORCHESTER AND FRANKLY, WE DON'T WANT THAT AROUND DOWN IN THE RYE. WE TOOK TOOK YEARS TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE.

DENISE IOBBI: AGAIN, OUR MAIN CONCERN. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TRAFFIC WILL JUST GET WORSE THAN IT IS. AND IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE NOW. THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU.

OKAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ANYBODY ELSE WHO HASN'T ALREADY SPOKEN, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK AROUND. MR. MAYOR.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: PAM, YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO. YEAH. HERE WE GO. SO PAM.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: HAAS, YOU'RE BACK ON.

PAMELA HAAS: OKAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK AGAIN. I, I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO QUOTE FROM THE PROPOSAL BECAUSE I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING.

PAMELA HAAS: I WONDER HOW ARE THESE PERSONAL STORAGE UNITS GOING TO BE MONITORED. WHAT'S THE PROCEDURE FOR THAT AND WHERE THE SPECIFIC DETAILS IN THE PROPOSAL ABOUT THAT BECAUSE PAMELA HAAS: 70 IT SAYS RIGHT HERE, THE USE OF ONE OR MORE CHEMICALS IN AMOUNTS THAT ARE REPORTABLE MAY BE PERMITTED IF IT CAN BE DEMONSTRATED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION PAMELA HAAS: THAT SUCH CHEMICALS SHELBY'S HANDLED STORED AND DISPOSED OF IN A MANNER THAT IS PROTECTIVE OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES IN THE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUSIVE OF THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM. SO MY QUESTION IS, PAMELA HAAS: HOW WILL WE KNOW THAT, HOW IS IT GOING TO BE MONITORED, HOW'S IT GOING TO BE CONTROLLED, DOES THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN A SELF STORAGE ENVIRONMENT. THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU. PAM.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, PHONE NUMBER, ENDING IN 917 CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I FORGOT WHO YOU WERE THE FIRST TIME.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THERE WE GO. AND SOMEBODY CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BRIAN, YOU'RE BACK ON WITH THE, THE CITY COUNCIL.

BRY ARO: OH, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A NOTHER TIME. I JUST WANTED TO AGAIN VOICE. SO, MICHAEL, I MEAN LIKE MANUFACTURING AND SELF STORAGE IN BRY ARO: WITHIN THE BORDERS OF RYE. I MEAN, THAT JUST DISCARD STILL HAVE LIKE MANUFACTURING AND SELF STORAGE IN THERE RIGHT NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

BRY ARO: THEY DON'T BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHERE THE THINGS GENERALLY BELONG WESTIES ARE IN WHITE PLAINS AND IT COMES FORWARD SURROUNDED BY LARGER BRY ARO: COMMERCIAL AREAS WHERE THEY WON'T INTERFERE WITH THE LIFE OF A RESIDENTIAL POPULACE AND JUST BRY ARO: AS A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID IT WOULD REALLY MAKE TRAFFIC MISERY FOR THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.

BRY ARO: SOME OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT CHEMICALS WILL SCOFF THAT. BUT AGAIN, I LIVE WITH SOMEONE PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND WE'RE BEING NAIVE IF YOU THINK THAT BRY ARO: WHATEVER YOU WRITE DOWN IN THE ZONING CODE THAT EVERYONE WHO RENT A SPACE IS GOING TO FOLLOW THAT. I MEAN, ONCE BRY ARO: THE STORAGE AREAS THERE. IT'S THERE. AND ONCE THEY LEASED OUT OF SPACE, THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO IS THEY LIKE, AND WE ALL KNOW NOT EVERYONE FOLLOWS THE RULES EXACTLY THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. SO I JUST THINK IT'S A VERY BAD FIT FOR THAT LOCATION IN THAT COMMUNITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU, BRIAN.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE HAVE PAM. AGAIN, I'M GONNA CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IS A PAMELA HAAS: I KEEP GETTING UP, PEOPLE ARE TEXTING ME TELLING ME THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IN. I HAVE SOMEONE NAMED JOANNE HARPER WHO LIVES AT RIGHT COLONY, WHO SAYS SHE KEEPS PRESSING STAR NINE AND NO ONE'S PICKING ME PAMELA HAAS: SO, PAMELA HAAS: SOMEONE'S JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE, THEY'RE PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SPOKEN TONIGHT.

PAMELA HAAS: I'VE ASKED HER FOR HER PHONE NUMBER.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: LAST THREE DIGITS OF YOUR PHONE NUMBER, PLEASE. PAM.

PAMELA HAAS: YEAH, I'M WAITING FOR HER TO ME NOW.

PAMELA HAAS: I COULD PAMELA HAAS: COME ON, JOANNE. OH, I GOT HER NUMBER SOMEWHERE. OH, HERE WE GO. SHE PAMELA HAAS: WAS HEARING PAMELA HAAS: YEAH, I GOT PAMELA HAAS: THREE NUMBERS.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I WILL PROMOTE HER NOW.

PAMELA HAAS: THANK YOU.

PAMELA HAAS: THANK YOU.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WELL, CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I FORGOT YOUR NAME BUT 507 YOU'RE ON WITH THE CITY COUNCIL YOUR PHONE NUMBER, ENDING IN 507 YOU'RE ON WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HIT STAR SIX TO UNMUTE YOUR PHONE.

[03:00:01]

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: FOR SOME REASON, PEOPLE CAN'T COMMENT, WE CAN STILL TAKE WRITTEN COMMENTS AS MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO SUGGEST IN THE EVENT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I KNOW THE COUNCIL READS ALL OF THOSE COMMENTS AND THEY'RE THEY'RE QUITE EFFECTIVE. BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THIS PHONE NUMBER.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY. DO YOU HAVE OTHERS WHO ARE IN LINE OR HAVE WE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT IS HEARD FROM EVERYONE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT IS IT. WE HAVE 30 ATTENDEES STILL ON.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: INCLUDING 12345 ON THE PHONE, BUT NO ONE ELSE HAS RAISED THEIR HAND. OBVIOUSLY, MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, YES, WE WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE WRITTEN COMMENTS, MY, MY SUGGESTION AND I'M EAGER FOR OTHERS ON THE COUNCIL TO ADD THERE'S IS THAT THIS WOULD BE A JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOOD TIME FOR JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DON'T MEAN THIS MOMENT, BUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO FOR MIDLAND RIGHT PARTNERS TO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND PERHAPS FIGURE OUT HOW TO HAVE A DISCUSSION SESSION IF IT THAT OF COURSE IS UP TO YOU, BUT IT MIGHT BE VERY, VERY USEFUL.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND AND PERHAPS AS PART OF THAT PROCESS, THINK OF ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES IN THE TEXT AMENDMENT THAT YOU MIGHT PROPOSE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN LET US KNOW.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHEN YOU WERE READY, READY TO COME BACK WITH US AND WE WOULD CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO THE THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, BUT I DO THINK IT WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL. AGAIN, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN DOING IT, IF, IF YOU HAD A MEETING WITH THE PUBLIC AND MAYBE SUCCEEDED IN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COMMUNICATING MORE CLEARLY. YOUR INTENTIONS IN, IN SOME RESPECTS, WHERE I THINK THEY'RE THERE PERHAPS HAS NOT BEEN A MEETING OF THE MINDS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OTHERS ON THE COUNCIL. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A WAY JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A WAY TO TAKE THIS FORWARD.

RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: NOW IF JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. ARE WE ARE YOU PROPOSING TO DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL DECEMBER 16 KRISTEN WILSON: OR WE JUST NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN IT TO A DATE SPECIFIC OTHERWISE THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO READ.

THE FIRST JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING, I THINK, LIKE, GIVE THEM. IF IT, IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD COME TOGETHER IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS AND AND THERE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I SENT SOME SORT OF ANXIOUSNESS AND QUESTIONS REALLY FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND I THINK IF THEY WANT TO GET THOSE ANSWERED SOONER AND AND MIDLAND CAN ACCOMMODATE IT. I WOULDN'T WANT TO JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE PRESCRIPTIVE. SO I GUESS I'M SAYING IF YOU CAN DO IT BEFORE THEN, AND GREAT IF YOU CAN'T, WE CAN PUSH IT, BUT I'M, WHAT I'M TRYING TO PROPOSE THIS SO HOPEFULLY MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY WHICH IS JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, SO WE ADJOURN TO THE IF WE ADJOURN TO THE 16TH AND AND WE NEED TO FURTHER ADJOURN, WE WERE HAPPY TO FURTHER ADJOURN WE WE LEAVE, WE LEAVE THIS IN THE HANDS OF THE APPLICANT AND THE COMMUNITY.

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL RIGHT. HI.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: HI. AND JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO KNOW THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE THE 16TH AND IF FOR SOME REASON WERE NOTIFIED BY THE APPLICANT THAT THEY WON'T BE ON THE AGENDA, WE WILL PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA SO THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT WHAT THE STATUSES.

[03:05:15]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, OKAY.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO JUST TO JUST TO CLARIFY, SO ON THE 16TH IF IF SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE PUBLIC AND THE APPLICANT.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DETERMINE THAT THEY NEED EXTRA TIME IT'LL BE VERY EASY. JUST BECAUSE TO TO GREG'S POINT. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS AND OF COURSE THE THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE ARE THE MOST INTERESTED BUT REALLY WHEN WE THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S THE ENTIRE SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MUNICIPALITY IT'S THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. SO WE HAVE A LOT TO CONSIDER AS AS A, AS A COMMUNITY, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE THAT WE GET THIS RIGHT, AND THAT THE THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE FULLY APPRISED OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THESE MULTIPLE SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: APPLICATIONS THAT ARE BEFORE US AND BEFORE THEM.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREAT.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I GUESS MY PROBLEM WITH DOING IT ON THE 16TH AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE IS THAT ARE MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE PETITIONER MIGHT ADJOURN IT PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A TWO DAYS BEFORE AND PEOPLE WORK AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IT TOGETHER AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE MEETING.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, MY HERE'S WHAT THE WAY I'M LOOKING AT IT, PAM.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS IF THEY'RE ON THE FLIP SIDE, IT CERTAINLY GETS PUSHED OFF SOMETIMES THERE'S ANXIETY ABOUT NOT JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KNOWING RIGHT AND SO I WOULD GUESS, IF SOMEONE CAME BACK TO US AND SAID, MIDDLE, AND THEY THEY GAVE US ONE DAY NOTICE AND ONE TIME SLOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WE ALL WORK LIKE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S NOT GOING TO CUT IT LIKE I DID, WE WOULD RESPOND TO THAT WE WOULD, THAT WOULD NOT BE THERE WOULD BE A VERY DISINGENUOUS ACTION ON THEIR PART. AND I THINK WHAT HURT, THEY'RE STANDING TRUTHFULLY.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK IT'S AN INNOCENT THING. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S TRYING TO BE DISINGENUOUS. I JUST THINK THAT WE CREATE SORT OF AN ONGOING ISSUE, AS OPPOSED TO GIVING EVERYBODY ENOUGH TIME. SO WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE, PERHAPS, IS IF WE ASK. I MEAN, IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE BUT PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MR. DUNCAN, CAN YOU GET THIS DONE BY THE 16TH OR WOULD YOU MIND WAITING UNTIL THE FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY AND TRYING TO GET AS MUCH OF THE PUBLIC THERE AS POSSIBLE. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE DONE.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: US FROM DOING THAT, JUST TO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD RIGHT JUST MOTION WHICH IS JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF THEY CAN DO IT BY THE 16TH, THAT'S GREAT, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT BY THE 16TH, THEY CAN COME BACK AND SAY WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. IN WHICH CASE, I'M GOING TO MAKE THE SAME MOTION TO THE JANUARY MEETING AT THE DECEMBER 16 MEETING SO I JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE THEN, OR CAN'T COME BACK TO IT. IF THERE'S A PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. SO I MY ATTEMPT HERE IS MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY TO ENCOURAGE DIALOGUE AS SOON OR AS LONG AS IT TAKES. THAT'S ALL I DON'T WANT TO BE PRESCRIPTIVE.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: UNDERSTOOD. AND I THINK THE WAY TO NOT BE PRESCRIPTIVE MIGHT BE TO ASK MR. DUNCAN AND I AND I'M STILL THINKING THAT PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE NEED TO GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME THAT THEY CAN MEET AND IT'S THE HOLIDAYS. AND IF WE PUT IT ON THE 16TH, WHICH I THINK WE'VE DONE ALREADY. BUT IF WE PUT IT ON ON THE 16TH.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEN EVERYBODY SITS THERE YET. WE HAVE IT'S ON THE AGENDA FOR THE 16TH NOW. SO SOMEONE LOOKS AT THE AGENDA, THEY'RE GOING TO ASSUME IT'S ON THE 16TH AND JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S WAIT JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ON WHAT STAN BECAUSE I THOUGHT WHAT CHRISTIAN JUST SAID IS THAT IF THEY COME BACK TO US AS THEY HAS THE OSBORNE HAS DONE. AND AS AN EXAMPLE AND SAYS, JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE CAN'T DO THIS. NOW, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ASSEMBLE IT THEY NOTIFY US AND THEN WE WILL NOTIFY LIZ, WE HAVE FOR THE OSBORNE, THAT IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, IT GOT PUSHED BUT JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'VE DONE THIS.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I GUESS. OKAY, ONCE AGAIN, TRY NOT TO BEAT A DEAD HORSE HERE MR. DUNCAN, CAN YOU PLEASE TRY TO GIVE A PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WEEK'S NOTICE IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE MEETING THE 16TH. HOW ABOUT THAT.

PARRISH DUNCAN: WE WILL DO OUR BEST.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU UNDERSTAND, GETTING TOO. I I DO UNDERSTAND. YEP.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO THANKS TO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EFFECT THANKS TO THE MIDDLE AND WRITING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU TO

[03:10:01]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THIS PROGRESSES.

STEVEN WRABEL: THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR TIME AND FOR FORGIVING US THEIR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS HAVE A NICE EVENING, EVERYONE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CHRISTIAN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WAS A GOOD MC WASN'T I YEAH.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ME COMING YOUR WAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OH REALLY, JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO WE CAN NOW MOVE TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL AMENDMENTS TO THE 2021 BUDGET AND THIS IS BEFORE OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AMONG US TO DISCUSS CHANGES. AND SO I WOULD INVITE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL TO RAISE ANY SUBJECTS THAT THEY WISH TO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AT THIS TIME, JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: UM, I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE 40,000 FROM THE BOAT BASE AND PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: REIMBURSEMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND. I'D LIKE TO DO IT IN INDEFINITELY. BUT IF WE COULD JUST DO IT FOR ONE MORE YEAR I'D LIKE FOR THEM TO HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE OF THE PROJECTS WE'RE WORKING ON TO START GETTING SOME DREDGING DONE. THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST THING. THE SECOND THING I'D LIKE FOR THE COUNCIL HOPEFULLY TO CONSIDER IS THAT, UM, PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, WE HAVE EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATIONS THAT GET RAISES AND IT DOES AFFECT OUR BOTTOM LINE. I DON'T KNOW THAT OUR MANAGER AND MANAGEMENT TEAM GET PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET RAISES AND I'M A STRONG BELIEVER IN MERIT INCREASES. I THINK IT'S MOTIVATING AND PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'D LIKE GREG TO RESPOND. A LITTLE POOL OF MONEY THAT IF GREG DETERMINES IN AN EVALUATION THAT A MANAGER, NOT AN UNDERREPRESENTED EMPLOYEE.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAS DONE SOME GOOD WORK AND WE WANT TO SAY KEEP DOING THE GOOD WORK AND OFFERS HIM A 1% 2% WHATEVER RAISE AND HAS A LITTLE POOL OF MONEY TO DO THAT.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND OTHER PLACES. THAT IS A VERY COMMON PRACTICE AND IT GETS EMPLOYEES.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT MAKES THEM HAPPY. THEY DO BETTER WORK THERE. WE GET LONGEVITY. THERE'S HUNDRED BENEFITS TO DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO CONSIDER. AND THE THIRD ONE IS THAT WE'RE DOING GREG'S EVALUATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER SOME FUNDS.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHICH WOULD INCLUDE ENOUGH FOR A SMALL RAISE PERHAPS A AMENDMENT TO HIS CONTRACT SHOULD WE DECIDE THAT THAT'S APPROPRIATE WHEN WHEN WE MEET AND DISCUSS IT.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT OCCURRED TO ME RIGHT NOW I I AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT FILLING THE ASSISTANT MANAGER POSITION.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS. I, WHICH I THINK I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE. ONE IS THAT AS GREG IS AN INTERIM MANAGER. I THINK THAT WHEN WE APPOINT THE PERMANENT MANAGER. THAT'S THE APPROPRIATE PERSON.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO HIRE. IT'S HIS ASSISTANT OR HER SORRY I DIDN'T NEED TO BE MASSAGED AND SO I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER NOT HIRING THAT POSITION AT THIS POINT IN TIME, AND THAT WOULD BE THE THREE THINGS THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LET, LET ME MAKE A COUPLE OF POINTS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE ARE ONLY $47,000 UNDER THE TEXT CAP.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: REQUEST FROM THE BOAT BASE AND JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR $40,000 WAS THEN MIRRORED BY OUR REQUEST FROM THE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOLF CLUB FOR IF I READ IT, MAX.

[03:15:04]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT IS OTHERWISE PAID OVER TO THE CITY.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND AN ISSUE WITH RESPECT TO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BOTH THOSE REQUESTS, IS THAT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BOAT BASIN AND THE GOLF CLUB ARE BOTH STRUCTURED AS ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND THE BASIS FOR THEIR OPERATION IS THAT THEY ARE TO STAND ON THEIR OWN AND WE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE VIOLATED THAT PRINCIPLE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LAST YEAR, TO THE EXTENT THAT WE SAID TO THE BOAT BASE AND THAT WE WOULD JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALLOW THEM TO KEEP $40,000 OF MORNING PAYMENTS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID OVER WE DO THAT ON A ONE YEAR BASIS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'RE NOW IN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A YEAR FARTHER ALONG JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND IT'S BEEN A DIFFICULT YEAR FOR THE CITY.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE ARE UP AGAINST THE TEXT CAP. IT'S BEEN A DIFFICULT YEAR FOR THE BOAT BASIN THOUGH THEY'VE ACTUALLY DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB AND THE DIFFICULT YEAR JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS, AS HAS THE GOLF AS, AS HAS THE GOLF CLUB, THOUGH. I THINK THE THE COVER TOOK A GREATER TOLL ON THE GOLF CLUB PROPORTIONATELY PERHAPS THAN IT DID ON THE BOAT BASIN.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO THE, THE ISSUE ISSUE WE HAVE IS WE HAVE A VERY SMALL POOL OF MONEY WITHOUT BREAKING THE TEXT CAP. WE HAVE A GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF HOW THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS HAVE BEEN STRUCTURED AND RUN SINCE THEY WERE CREATED, OTHER THAN THE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CHANGE LAST YEAR WITH RESPECT TO THE BOAT BASIN.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE COUNCIL'S VIEWS ON HOW WE SHOULD TREAT THESE TWO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ASKS FROM EACH OF THESE ENTERPRISE FUNDS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GIVEN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GIVEN THAT IT'S BEEN A TOUGH YEAR FOR THE CITY. AND IN FACT, OUR FUNDS ARE LIMITED.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I APPRECIATE HEARING FROM OTHERS ON IT.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I SAY YOU KNOW THAT THE BOAT BASIN DOES A WONDERFUL JOB SO AS RIGHT GOLF, BUT THESE ARE CITY PROPERTIES MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT THROWN BY THE CITY.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THE ACCESS TO THAT IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS THOSE FUNDS. THE 40,000 THE 75 SHOULD COME TO THE CITY. THAT'S MY FEELING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE'S PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE NATURE OF AN ENTERPRISE FUND IS LIKE IT RUNS AS A SEPARATE BUSINESS ON ITS OWN. WHEN I ASKED.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHY WE ORIGINALLY STARTED TAKING THE $40,000 BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS ON THE BASE AND IN 2002 AND THEY STARTED THIS PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: APPARENTLY IT WAS $100 MAUREEN FEE THAT THEN BECAME BECAUSE WE RAISED IT WE MEANING THE COUNCIL, I MEAN IN THE ROYAL WE, TO $250 AT A ROCK. THEY SAID, WELL, LET'S JUST TAKE THE FIRST 40,000 I WILL LEAVE THE REST FOR THE BASIN.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND ENTERPRISE FUNDS PURPOSE IS TO SELF SUPPORT IF THE ENTERPRISE FUND IS THE, IF, IF THE BASIN IS THE ONE THAT IS PROVIDING THE SERVICE AND COLLECTING THE FEE.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEN WE SHOULD LEAVE IT WITH THE BASIN AND OR THE GOLF COURSE. I THINK BOTH BECAUSE IF THAT IS THE MEANING OF AN ENTERPRISE FUN I DO THE ADMINISTRATION I COLLECT THE FEE, WE SHOULD KEEP THE FEET LIKE A BUSINESS WITH THE PASSING OF THAT MONEY OVER TO THE CITY WAS DONE.

[03:20:11]

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE SHOULD DISCUSS IT ENFORCEMENT FEE. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE VIOLATING THE MORNING, YOU SHOULD PAY THE FEE THAT IT COSTS ARE POLICE OFFICERS TO DO THAT WORK.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I'M STILL ON. I STILL BELIEVE THAT'S THE CASE. SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT THE COMMENT ABOUT THE ENTERPRISE FUN. IN FACT, PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M STILL WAITING. I'D ASKED JOE TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE RESOLUTION.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF THE CITY COUNCIL IN 2002 OR 2010 OR 2015 WHATEVER IT WAS THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWS THE CITY TO TAKE THE $40,000 I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET. SO LET'S START WITH THAT.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THE SECOND THING I WANT TO SAY IS, BY NOT FILLING THE ASSISTANT MANAGER POSITION. THAT'S HOW I HOPED TO FUND THESE OTHER THINGS. NOW IF GREG TELLS ME THAT HE WOULD RATHER NOT DO.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TALK ABOUT THOSE BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES THAT THAT THE ASSISTANT MANAGER POSITIONS, MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAPPY TO HEAR THAT.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT I'M GUESSING THAT THAT'S A I SHOULD PULL THE BUDGET OUT BUT THAT'S PROBABLY 100 HUNDRED AND $50,000 SO I'M THINKING THAT MY REQUESTS AND I DIDN'T INCLUDE THE GOLF COURSE. BUT I'M HAPPY TO PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT MY REQUEST ACTUALLY WILL OFFSET WITH NOT FILLING THAT ONE POSITION. I THINK IT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE PRIORITIZE OUR VALUES.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE AND WE IMPLEMENT OUR BUDGET BASED ON THOSE VALUES AND I'M HOPING THAT YOU GUYS AGREE WITH ME.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT ONE OF OUR VALUES SHOULD BE THAT THESE BUSINESSES SHOULD BE OPERATING MAKING THE CASTLE, LET IT KEEP THEMSELVES OPEN AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO HINDER THAT BY PLANE OF PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A CHESS GAME WITH THEM, LET THEM RUN THEIR BUSINESS AND LET THEM FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I KEEP ASKING THE BASIN IS GIVE ME A BUSINESS PLAN. LET ME SEE A BUSINESS PLAN.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THE GOLF COURSE ALREADY HAS ONE. AND I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE REQUIRING THAT OF THEM. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING TRUST THEM, GIVE THEM THE 40,000 AND SAY GET STARTED. YOU'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS PLACE VIABLE IN THE LONG RUN. SO THAT'S WHY I SUGGESTED THAT PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THE OTHER THING WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED, WHICH I'LL WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO TALK ABOUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY OKAY SO I I'D LIKE TO, I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE QUESTION OF THE BOAT BASE AND ASK AND JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THE GOLF CLUB ASK AND JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEN GO THROUGH OTHER THINGS. SO WOULD WOULD OTHERS LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS THAT OUTSIDE CAROLINA WHERE YOU CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD. GOOD.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE ONLY THING IS, IS, IS WHAT THE MAYOR SAID IN THE VERY BEGINNING THAT THESE ARE AN ENTERPRISE FUND IS BY DEFINITION, ONE THAT OPERATES AS ITS AS A SELF CONTAINED UNIT. AND SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE 75 AND THE 40 SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TRANSFERS TO SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CITY ARE BECAUSE IF THE REVENUES ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY THERE, THEN WHY NOT LEAVE THE REVENUES THERE, PARTICULARLY SINCE AND I'M NOT SURE THE THE MECHANICS OF THE GOLF CLUB BUT, AS WAS EXPLAINED AT THE LAST MEETING.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE INTER FUND TRANSFER ALREADY HAPPENS FROM THE BOAT BASIN. SO THIS IS ON TOP OF THAT INTER FUND TRANSFER PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT. THAT WAS THE IMPORTANT PART OF THE WHOLE CONVERSATION. THANKS. THE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THE REQUESTS THAT IS JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE BOAT BASIN IS ASKING TO KEEP MORE OF THE MORNING FEE COLLECTION, THEN IT HAS BEEN. I DON'T KNOW THE FULL HISTORY, WHETHER IT'S JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT STARTED OR OR SOME OTHER TIME. BUT THAT COLLECTION HAS BEEN STRUCTURED THAT WAY FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. IN THE CASE OF THE GOLF CLUB REQUEST. I THINK THAT THERE'S A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE STANDARD INTERFACE AND TRANSFER BY $40,000 AND TO REDUCE

[03:25:04]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THE REDUCTION OF THE INTER FUND TRANSFER REQUESTED BY THE GOLF CLUB IS UNIQUE TO THE GOLF CLUB. THAT IS THE BOAT BASIN IS NOT LOOKING TO REDUCE ITS STANDARD INTO FUNDS TRANSFER AND PLEASE SOMEONE, CORRECT ME IF I'VE MISUNDERSTOOD EITHER REQUEST.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: LET ME JUST ADD, LET ME ADD A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL AROUND THE THE MORNING SPEED AND AND PAM, WILL I THOUGHT THAT WE'D GOTTEN TO THE RESOLUTIONS CAN CERTAINLY WELL BE THAT TOMORROW ON THE MORNING PERMIT WAS PUT IN PLACE IN 2002 AND THAT AMOUNT WAS REMITTED TO THE CITY.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND JOKE, I BELIEVE IT WAS IN THE LATE 2007 2008 GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHEN IT WAS RAISED FROM $100 TO 250 OR EVEN COME LATER.

JOE FAZZINO, CITY COMPTROLLER: NOW THERE'S ACTUALLY PROBABLY IN 2016 AFTER THE INITIAL ORDER OF THE BOOKCASE, AND WE RAISED IT FROM THE 100 ANNUALLY TO THE 250 OKAY YEAH GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE IS THERE IS APPROXIMATELY TODAY BETWEEN 95 AND $100,000 COLLECTED IN MORE IMPORTANTLY GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 400 MOORINGS IN THE BASIN IN GREEN, THE GREEN EVEN AREA.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: 200 OF THOSE ARE HELD AND AND OPERATED BY AMERICAN YACHT CLUB. SO IN THOSE 200 CASES AMERICAN YACHT CLUB ADMITS TO THE CITY.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALL OF THOSE FEES AND ADMINISTRATOR, THE MORNINGS THEMSELVES. THE OTHER 200 OUR INDIVIDUAL MORNINGS THAT ARE ADMINISTRATIVE BY THE BOAT BASIN. SO LAST YEAR AT THE LAST BUDGET OPEN AT THE LAST BUDGET HEARING GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE BASIC LIAISON ASKED THAT $40,000 THAT ORIGINALLY WAS REMITTED TO THE CITY BE HELD BY THE BOAT BASIN, SO THAT THE FULL AMOUNT IS KEPT BY THE BOAT BASIN.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE HISTORY OF THE OF THE MORES, THE MAYOR'S CORRECT IN TERMS OF THE GOLF CLUB ASK AND THAT IS THAT $40,000 OF THE ASK IS TO REDUCE FOR THIS YEAR.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THE COMMISSION'S ASKED FOR THIS YEAR ONLY, AND RECOGNITION ON THE FINANCIAL PRESSURES THAT THEY FELT THIS YEAR TO REDUCE THEIR CARBON TRANSFER THIS YEAR ABOUT $40,000 GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THEY FURTHER ASKED THAT $35,000 OF THE NON RESIDENT SURCHARGE ALSO BE KEPT BY THEM THIS YEAR AND NOT COLLECTED BY THE CITY AS IT HAS BEEN PASSED.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I'M JUST LOOKING SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AT THE RESOLUTION OR THE MINUTES. I GUESS FROM LAST YEAR AND IT DOESN'T SPECIFY ONE, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WHETHER IT WAS GOING TO BE PERMANENT OR NOT. SO WE DON'T REALLY KNOW.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT WHETHER THAT $40,000 I DON'T I DON'T REMEMBER A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT BEING PERMANENT OR NOT PERMANENT. SO I GUESS.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE CAN ASSUME THAT IT WAS IT WAS A ONE YEAR THING. AND I GUESS WE CAN'T ASSUME THAT IT WAS A PERMANENT THING EITHER. I GUESS WE'RE GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ENDING IN OUR JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE YEAR SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT MY DOG.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND I'LL REVIEW OF THE OF THE DISCUSSION WAS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 2020 BUDGET SO I YOU KNOW I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE INTENT WAS OR WASN'T, BUT THE CONSIDERATION WAS THE 2020 BUDGET AND THE RESOLUTION WAS NOT CLEAR THAT IT WAS PERMANENT OR NOT.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALL RIGHT, THE ONE, THE ONE, THE ONE WELL ANYWAY, SO CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WAS WONDERING IF WE CAN REACH A COMPROMISE HERE BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S BEEN A REALLY TOUGH YEAR FOR THE CITY AS WELL SO CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DON'T WANT IT. I MEAN, I THINK THAT CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE CAN MAYBE, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE ANYBODY HAPPY BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TO GIVE OUT. BUT IF WE CAN REACH A COMPROMISE AND JUST GIVE GIVE EACH ONE OF THE ENTERPRISE'S WHAT CAN BE REASONABLE WITHOUT BUSTING THE CAP AND JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: 20 AND 20, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE I DON'T JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WANT TO TOUCH THE INNER FUN JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TRANSFER BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THAT.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S NOT GOOD PRECEDENT RIGHT BACK TO THE DEFINITION OF A YOU KNOW ENTERPRISE FUND.

[03:30:05]

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF THIS IS JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MEAN, I ALSO SEE THAT THEY'RE DOING A SERVICE ON OUR BEHALF LEVERAGING OUR ASSETS RIGHT OUR PROPERTY OR MOORINGS WHATEVER. AND THAT'S WHY WE GET A SHARE OF THAT REVENUE TO JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO ON A NON-PRESIDENTIAL BASIS AS WELL, RECOGNIZING THAT THIS IS A PRETTY REMARKABLE YEAR FOR EVERYBODY. AND WE HAVE LITERALLY LIKE $40,000 UNDER THE TAX CAP.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COULD WE GIVE RELIEF TO THE BOAT BASIN OF $20,000 OF THOSE $40,000 AND MORNING FEES AND $20,000 TO THE GOLF CLUB IN THE $35,000 BUCKET OF NON RESIDENT FEES.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I LIKE THE I LIKE CAROLINA'S IDEA OF COMPROMISING BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL WE'RE ALL SUFFERING. THE ONLY THING I HESITATE ABOUT IS IT SEEMS A LITTLE ODD.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO BE SORT OF DIPPING INTO THE INTO THE SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, INTO THE BOAT BASIN INTO THESE ENTERPRISE FUNDS INTO THE GOLF CLUB BECAUSE THE CITY IS SUFFERING. SO THE BOAT ISN'T AS, AS WE ALL ACKNOWLEDGED AT THEIR PRESENTATION.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DID A PHENOMENAL JOB EVEN WITH THE CURRENT CHALLENGES OF THE PANDEMIC AND SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT JUST SEEMS SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT SEEMS THAT WE'RE SAYING THAT THE REASON THAT WE'RE TAKING THIS MONEY OF 20,000 40,000 WHATEVER IS BECAUSE THE CITY.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS SUFFERING AND I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND I AM FULLY AWARE OF THE ECONOMIC BURDENS THAT ARE ON THE CITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE SAYING THAT THESE ARE ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND THAT THEY OPERATE AS DISTINCT AND INDEPENDENT ENTITIES, SO IT SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT ALL SORT OF SITS A LITTLE CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEY ARE, THEY'RE NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TRUE COMMERCIAL ENTITIES. IF WE HAD TO COMMERCIAL ENTITIES THAT WOULD BE SEPARATE AND APART. WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT BUT I MEAN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DO I JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I KIND OF LIKED THE PRAGMATISM OF 2020 SPLIT FOR THIS YEAR.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: UM, THERE'S ONE PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT I HAVE TROUBLE WITH AND THAT IS WE REFER TO THE CITY AS AS IF THE CITY HAS ITS OWN WALLET. BUT REALLY, WHAT, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE ASKING THE TAXPAYERS TO PAY JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EXACTLY IS ANY, ANYTHING THAT WE GRANT ANYTHING THAT WE SPEND ON JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CITY HAS JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CITY COLLECTS THE MONEY, BUT WE'RE PRIMARILY COLLECTING MONEY FROM THE TEXT BEARS. WE'RE LOOKING AT OURSELVES UP AGAINST THE TEXT CAP. WE'RE LOOKING AT SPENDING.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A RELATIVELY SMALL PORTION OF WHAT WE HAVE TO SPEND UNDER THE TEXT CAP. BUT WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THAT IN IN THIS YEAR WE WOULD ASK THE TAXPAYERS TO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SUPPORT OR ADDITIONALLY SUPPORT EACH OF THESE ENTERPRISE FUNDS WITH WITH 20,000 MORE THAN IS PRESENTLY THE DEAL. AND WE MAY LOOK AT THE DEAL IN THE COMING YEAR AND DECIDE TO CHANGE IT WITH RESPECT TO THESE THINGS, BUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT NOW IT'S THE DEAL. SO WITH WITH WITH THAT.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RECOGNITION OF THE FACT THAT WHEN WE SAY CITY, WE'RE REALLY SAYING ALL THE REST OF THE TAXPAYERS.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD BE FOR A 2020 SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HEAR YOU, AND I ABSOLUTELY. I AGREE WITH THE PRAGMATIC APPROACH TO THE 2020 I WOULD ADD, HOWEVER, THAT, YES, OF COURSE, IT IS THE TAXPAYERS.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT AT THE SAME TIME. AGAIN, THIS THESE ARE FUND TRANSFERS NOT ENTER FUND TRANSFERS. THIS IS AT LEAST WITH RESPECT TO THE BOAT BASE AND THIS IS ABOVE THE ENTER FUND TRANSFER. SO THIS IS LITERALLY TAKING THE REVENUE THAT WAS RAISED BY THE BOAT BASE AND WITH ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT. IT'S NOT AS IF WE'RE TAKING AWAY FROM THE TAXPAYERS. IT'S THAT WE ARE SUPPLEMENTING OUR SHORTFALL IN ORDER TO TO

[03:35:03]

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALSO TO CLARIFY IS NOT THAT THESE 20 GO AND YOU KNOW EVERYBODY HAD THE BORING FOR BASS AND WE'LL GO OUT FOR A BIG PARTY AND HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY. I MEAN, THIS IS ALL FUNDS THAT GO RIGHT BACK INTO THE OPERATION. SO WE'RE NOT SO. OKAY.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S MUCH NEEDED BY THEM.

CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND OF COURSE I EVERYBODY WE ALL, WE ALL DO. I MEAN, WE ALL NEED TO PAY THE STREET. WE ALL NEED TO DO OR, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST WE'RE SLICING THESE AS SOON AS WE CAN JUST DO SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S RIGHT. AND OF COURSE 20,000 OR 40,000 SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS A PERCENTAGE OF CITY BUDGET IS EXTRAORDINARILY SMALL RELATIVE TO 20 OR 40,000 AS PERCENTAGE OF THE BOAT BASE. AND SO WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WELL.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

BEN STACKS, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH, I MEAN, THE WHOLE REASON THAT WE SET THESE THINGS UP AS ENTERPRISE FUNDS. SO THEY'D BE SELF SUFFICIENT TO BEGIN WITH. RIGHT. AND WE WANT TO SEPARATE BEN STACKS, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT USE THOSE FACILITIES FROM THE REST OF THE TAXPAYERS IN THE CITY. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I MEAN THIS IS MAYBE A MORE PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENT THAT WE'D HAVE TO HAVE OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO SOLVE IT NOW, BUT BEN STACKS, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE IS SEPARATION HERE AND YOU KNOW WE YOU KNOW WE ARE ASKING THESE FOLKS TO RUN THESE PROPERTIES FOR US.

BEN STACKS, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE WE SEPARATED THEM FROM THE TAXPAYER SO THAT THEY COULD BE INDEPENDENT AND SO THAT THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER WHO DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN EACH ONE OF THESE FACILITIES.

BEN STACKS, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS WE'RE ASKING THE TAXPAYERS TO HELP PAY FOR THEM AND AND SPREADING IT OUT AMONG THE REST OF THE TECH SPACE IN THE CITY. SO CAROLINA JOHNSON, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WROTE, AND I DON'T PLAY GOLF AT RIGHT GOLF, BUT I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING THAT IN MY TOWN AND MAKES MY HOUSE MORE MARKETABLE. ON THE OTHER HAND, I WOULDN'T LIKE A FLOOD TAX BECAUSE I MEAN THE FLOOD DISTRICT. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH, I MEAN I THINK FOR ME, WHAT IS JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE WAY I'M ABLE TO COMPARTMENTALIZE IT IS THEY THEY WERE SET UP TO BE SELF SUSTAINING THEY SHOULD BE SELF SUSTAINING THEY SHOULD PAY THESE INNER JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FUND FEES BECAUSE IT REFLECTS A LEVEL OF SERVICE AND SUPPORT THEY GET FROM THE CITY THAT WOULD BE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO ATTAIN ELSEWHERE.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LIKE THAT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME. I THINK WHERE I'M SEEING IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. I DON'T THINK WE'RE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DIPPING INTO THEIR I FEEL LIKE IT'S THE OPPOSITE ACTUALLY WHERE THEY'RE DIPPING INTO THE TAXPAYERS PAY OR MONEY RIGHT NOW TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN A TOUGH TIME. AND SO I THINK WE'RE ALL TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN BUY AS MANY AS WE CAN. AND, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S THIS SEEMS NON-PRESIDENTIAL TO ME. BECAUSE ORDINARILY LIKE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING LIKE THEY'D BE HANDING OVER THE $40,000 THEY BE PAYING THEIR INNER FUN TRANSFER ALL OF THAT WOULD BE HAPPENING IN NORMAL TIMES JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES WE RECOGNIZE THAT. AND SO, AND WE HAVE THE MAGIC. WE HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY UNDERNEATH THAT TAX CAP THAT WE COULD DO SOMETHING WITH. AND SO WE MIGHT AS WELL. SO IT'S IN MY MIND AND IMPERFECT SOLUTION. IT'S A COMPROMISE SOME IT'S A HOLIDAY SPIRIT. I DON'T KNOW.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT I'LL JUST END IT THERE AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NO, YOU SAID IT, YOU SAID WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY FAR BETTER SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAN I DO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAN MAY HAVE A RESOLUTION THAT JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR 28 THE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RESOLUTION STARING BACK ME UP ON THIS ONE, THEN SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALTHOUGH I THINK AT SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARE WE MAKING A RESOLUTION ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I THINK JOE PECORA HAD WANTED TO SPEAK. SO I DON'T KNOW.

KRISTEN WILSON: WHETHER HE SPEAKS SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW DOES ALL OF THAT WORK.

KRISTEN WILSON: SO BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING YOU CAN MAKE MOTIONS TO AMEND THE BUDGET BY SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE AFTER YOU OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING YOU NEED A SUPERMAJORITY SO IF YOU WANT TO PUT A MORE MOTION FOR NOW TO AMEND THE BUDGET, YOU CAN JUST HAS TO BE A SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE TO CARRY JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I MAKE THAT SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MOTION IS NEIL MENTIONED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK IF HE WANTS TO. HE WAS TRYING TO CALL IN AND HE COULDN'T. AND I THINK HE EMAILED GREG AND HE WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THROUGH, SO I JUST PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW YOUR SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AURA. SORRY.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHO GETS TO SPEAK, HE'S JUST NOT SPEAKING BEFORE WE MOVE WE AMEND THE BUDGET.

IS PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE CAN AMEND IT AGAIN IF WE WANT TO. BUT IF WE APPROVE THIS LIKE THIS. WE ONLY NEED FOUR VOTES.

[03:40:06]

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, THANK YOU.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LET ME JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LET'S, LET'S HEAR JOE, WE CAN HEAR JOE NOW. OH, IF HE'S JUST NOT ON THE RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IS CITY COUNCIL DECISION. THIS IS BETWEEN THE SEVEN OF US. I'M SORRY. LET'S FOLLOW PROCEDURE HERE IS BETWEEN THE SEVEN OF US.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FELLOWSHIP, AND SECOND, WE NEED TO VOTE JUST AMONG THE SEVEN OF JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: US. SO LET ME MAKE THAT MOTION. CLEARLY, FOR ALL OF US.

KRISTEN WILSON: YEAH.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MOTIONING THAT WE TAKE $40,000 WHICH I THINK WE HAVE FUNDABLE AND THAT'S IT IN THIS BUDGET ALLOCATE $20,000 ON A NON-PRESIDENTIAL BASIS TO THE BOAT BASIN.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'RE ACTUALLY WE'RE. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GIVING IT TO THEM. BUT WE'RE NOT REQUIRING THEM TO GIVE US 40 20,000 OF WHAT THEY OWE US, I GUESS.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ON THE JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT GOLF CLUB OF THE $35,000 AND NON RESIDENT USER FEES. WE ARE GOING TO LET THEM WITH LITTLE $20,000 ALSO THIS YEAR ON A NON-PRESIDENTIAL BASIS.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT IS JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EMOTION. IF IT'S ACCURATE.

BEN STACKS, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND JUST FOR THIS YEAR.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NON-PRESIDENTIAL BASIS.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONLY THIS YEAR.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES. SO THAT IS MY EMOTION. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SECOND AT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL IN FAVOR, BUT RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOLD ON.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'LL CALL IT YES.

CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: COUNCILWOMAN GODDARD.

YES.

CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON.

YES.

CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: COUNCILMAN MECCA.

CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: YES COUNCILWOMAN SOUZA, CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: YES COUNCILMAN STACKS.

YES.

CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: COUNCILWOMAN TARLOW CAROLYN D'ANDREA, RYE CITY CLERK: YES, THEY ARE CONE.

YES.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO THEN JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PAM SUGGESTED A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS FOR RAISES AND FUNDS. I THINK SHE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PUT ON PUT TO GREG THE PROPOSITION JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF NEED FOR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER VERSUS JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAVING THESE FUNDS, WHICH I DON'T THINK IT'S VERY FAIR TO GREG TO DO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH, BUT IN IN IN IN IN ANY CASE.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THAT ONE THING THAT'S GOING ON, OF COURSE, IS THAT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M GREG IS OUR INTERIM CITY MANAGER AND HAS JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAS SIGNED ON WITH US FOR AN 18 MONTH TO TWO YEAR STINT.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE HAVEN'T YET HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO START SEARCH AND WE SHOULD, AND WE WILL JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT GREG HAS ALSO INDICATED HIS INTEREST IN HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH US ABOUT STAYING LONGER JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE THOUGHT IS THAT WE SHOULD START A SEARCH PROMPTLY AND THAT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREG BE ONE OF THE CANDIDATES IN OUR SEARCH JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT WE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DO HOLD OFF ON THE HIRING OF THE ASSISTANT. I THINK WE KNOW VERY WELL WE NEED AN ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE REALLY NEED AN ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THERE'S A VALID CONCERN ABOUT WHETHER AN ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WILL COME AND TAKE A JOB WITH AN INTERIM WITH AN UNCLEAR FUTURE JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND SO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M, I'M NOT PROPOSING THAT WE LOOK AT ANY SET AMOUNT OF SAVINGS FROM DEFERRAL OF THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER HIRE AND TURN THAT INTO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A RAISE FUND BECAUSE I THINK I DON'T KNOW THE TIMING AND I THINK IT'S TOO SPECULATIVE, THAT IS, I'M EXPRESSING MY OWN VIEW BUT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I AM SUGGESTING THAT THE

[03:45:03]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I'M WONDERING HOW THAT SOUNDS TO PEOPLE.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M CURIOUS, HOW DID THIS LEAD FOR SEARCH FOR CITY MANAGER COME UP RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS ONE OF THOSE BIG TRUE BEFORE THEY'RE VERY EXPENSIVE AND THEY'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT PRODUCTIVE, YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ANY APPLICANTS.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHO IN THIS SMALL LITTLE WORLD OF MANAGERS KNOWS THAT THEIR CURRENT MANAGER WANTS TO STAY, YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND 50,000 AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE VERY DISAPPOINTED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU BUDGETED LET'S GO BACK AND LOOK, I PROBABLY LOOK WELL, NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE NEEDED A CITY MANAGER. IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAD ONE THAT WE WERE GOING TO COMPETE TO DO A SEARCH, YOU KIND OF CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IS THIS MAN'S JOB IF HE WANTS TO KEEP IT, WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IF HE WANTS TO LEAVE. WE CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION IF HE WANTS TO HIRE SOMEONE THAT'S WHY WE HIRED HIM.

RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THINK THAT'S JUST MY TAKE ON THIS. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DO SEARCH. LET'S DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE COST RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND ASK ANYBODY OUT THERE AND THE EMPLOYMENT WORLD. DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE GOING TO COME TO RY SIT FOR AN INTERVIEW AGAINST A PERSON WHO'S NOT LEAVING THAT POSITION AND AND THEY'RE JUST WASTING THEIR TIME AND OUR MONEY.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE RICH THAT YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ONE OF THESE BEFORE. THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT IS INSIDE MY BAILIWICK A BIT AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT I ASKED FOR A NUMBER PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAYBE SIX MONTHS AGO FOR WHAT IT WOULD COST TO DO A RECRUITMENT. I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 20 TO $25,000 PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE PERSON. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY WILL REIMBURSE US IF WE DON'T KEEP THE PERSON SIX MONTHS. THE ECONOMY IS DIFFERENT. THE PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, THAT ARE IN THE FIELD THAN THEY WERE THEN AND PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK GREG CAN THROW HIS HAT IN AND I DON'T BELIEVE TO FRANKLY THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE OVER ANYBODY ELSE IN THE RECRUITMENT. SO I THINK WE CAN MAKE THOSE PROMISES AND PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND MOVE FORWARD AND DO A RECRUITMENT AND AT THE SAME TIME, I'D LIKE TO GIVE THE MAN A LITTLE BIT OF A RAISE, BECAUSE HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB AS AN INTERIM RICHARD MECCA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT DOESN'T JUST SAID FOUR YEARS AGO THAT THIS CHANGE.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ABOUT THIS LIKE THIS. THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE PERSONNEL MATTERS STUFF TO ME, WHICH SEEMS LIKE SUPER AWKWARD.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE UNLESS I'M FORCED TO CAN THIS SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A TOPIC FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION, BECAUSE IT ISN'T A PERSONNEL MATTER SO JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I, I'D RATHER NOT.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT LATER. BUT I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH THE BUDGET ON DO ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO THIS TOPIC.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I AGREE. SAY THAT I WISH THERE WAS UNLIMITED MONEY TO GIVE PEOPLE RAISES AND, YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THEM RIGHT NOW. WE GOT CHRISTIAN CAROLYN JOB KRISTIN, GREG.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NICOLE. I MEAN, ALL THESE PEOPLE WORK SO HARD. GOD BLESS YOU. RIGHT, BUT LIKE I DON'T I JUST DON'T. THIS DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT TO ME. AND I JUST RATHER NOT DO THIS NOW.

PAM TARLOW, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO WHEN DOES ONE DO HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT PUTTING MONEY ASIDE FOR RAISES TO SAY THANK YOU FOR STAFF ARE WORKING HARD WHEN IT WASN'T PUT IN THE BUDGET AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

GREG USRY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE, THERE IS ACTUALLY MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR RAISES FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE THINGS JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE THERE ARE OTHER WAY.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, OKAY, I'M I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY TO, TO LET LET THIS DISCUSSION, GO AND WE CAN PICK IT UP TO THE EXTENT WE WISH TO IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. I THINK THAT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT THAT'S THAT THAT'S MY SENSE OF JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF THE COUNCIL THAT JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SHAKES A BED.

JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: APPARENTLY,

[03:50:01]

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEN WE'D OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DO THAT, IN WHICH CASE I WILL DO SO I'M MAKING A MOTION TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING, HEARING ON THE 2021 BUDGET.

SECOND, JULIE SOUZA, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF KRISTEN WILSON: OPENING OH YEAH OH JUST AVOID SAYING JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HI.

SARA GODDARD, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HI.

KRISTEN WILSON: KNOW IF CHRISTIAN, ARE YOU EMCEEING I CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THINK SO. YEAH, WE HAVE NINE ATTENDEES ONE ON THE PHONE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE BUDGET PUBLIC HEARING HIT THE RAISE HAND FEATURE OR IF YOU'RE ON PHONE HIT STAR NINE IF YOU'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON THE BUDGET.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ANYBODY WANTS TO COMMENT.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, HERE WE GO.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: PHONE NUMBER ENDING IN 8186 YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HIT STAR.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SIX TO UNMUTE YOUR PHONE.

1914****186: HELLO, YES.

1914****186: YES, YOU'RE ON THE WITH THE CITY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: COUNCIL JOE OKAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: NOW YOU JOE.

1914****186: YES THAT'S ME. OKAY.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IT'S LIKE BEING ON THE RADIO, YOU MIGHT WANT TO TURN THE SOUND.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: DOWN ON YOUR YES I GUESS BECAUSE IT'S IT'S 1914****186: ON DELAY. YES. OKAY. YES. SO YES, I'D LIKE TO JUST CLARIFY A FEW THINGS.

1914****186: REGARDING THE BOAT BASIN ISSUES WITH THE THERE'S THREE ISSUES HERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE MADE COMMENTS.

1914****186: FIRST THING IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INTERPHONE TRANSFERS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NON RESIDENT FEES AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MORNING TREES, AND AS SUCH THEY ARE THEY ARE ALL SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT 1914****186: THE FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY WITH THE MORNING FREEZES WHEN WE DID THIS LAST YEAR. AND OF COURSE, I THINK IT WAS PAM OR SARAH WAS QUESTIONING 1914****186: WHETHER IT WAS SARAH BECAUSE SHE WAS THERE LAST YEAR WAS QUESTIONING IF IF THIS WAS TO BE ON A PERMANENT BASIS. WELL, WE MADE OUR CASE LAST YEAR THAT 1914****186: THIS SHOULD BE KEPT WITH THE BOAT BASIN. THE $40,000 IN THE MORNING FEE, BASICALLY BECAUSE WE WERE DOING ALL THE WORK.

1914****186: AND AGAIN, IT'S GOING TOWARDS KEEP THE UPKEEP OF THE CHANNEL AND WHAT HAVE YOU. SO, I MEAN, WE HAD MADE THAT CASE SO THAT THAT WAS THE IDEA IN DOING IT. OF COURSE, I REALIZED WE ARE IN. WE ARE IN TROUBLED TIMES. SO 1914****186: MAYBE WE CAN DO AS MUCH. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE STILL DOING 40,000 BUT BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE'RE TAKING 1914****186: 20,000 WE'RE GOING TO GIVE 20,000 BACK TO THE BOAT BASIN AND $20,000 BACK TO THE GOLF CLUB.

1914****186: THEY ARE DIFFERENT ISSUES AND I JUST HOPE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IS WE, I THINK YOU GUYS PRETTY MUCH SAID YOU DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF CHANGING THE INTERFERON 1914****186: CHARGES. OKAY. AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THAT'S FINE. THE THING I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IF YOU IF WHATEVER YOU'RE PROPOSING, OR YOU VOTED ON.

1914****186: TO GIVE $20,000 BACK TO THE GOLF CLUB THAT WAS WITH THE NON USER FEES. NOW THOSE FEES ARE CHARGED BOTH TO THE BOAT BASIN AND TO THE GOLF CLUB.

1914****186: OKAY, SO THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD BROUGHT UP. WE'RE ALMOST TALKING ABOUT APPLES AND ORANGES THERE. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES. SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

1914****186: IS THE CITY IS STILL SPENDING THE SAME 40 I DON'T EVEN WANT TO SAY SPENDING, BECAUSE AGAIN, LIKE I SAY THE $40,000 THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

1914****186: WAS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WAS TAKING WHEN WHEN THE BOAT BASIN WAS RICH WITH FUNDS AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING FOR EXPENSIVE DREDGING 1914****186: SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT WAS A WAY FOR THEM TO DIP IN AND TAKE SOME MONEY.

1914****186: WE THOUGHT WE CLEARED THAT UP LAST YEAR TO SAY LISTEN WE PROVED OUR CASE THAT THAT'S NOT IT. BUT BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS NOW WE'RE TAKING THAT $40,000 1914****186: SO YOU'RE STILL GETTING THE CITY. YOU SAY, TALKING ABOUT THE TAXPAYERS, THEY'RE STILL GETTING STILL WIN THIS PROPOSAL, YOU'RE STILL SPENDING 40 IS JUST GIVING 20,000 TO THE GOLF CLUB WHICH ARE FOR USER 1914****186: NON USER FEES. THAT IS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW, THEY MEAN SO IT'S IT'S BASICALLY THEY DIDN'T GET IT LAST YEAR. SO WE'RE TAKING WE'RE SAYING ARE TAKEN FROM BASICALLY WE WERE GIVING UP $20,000 TO THE GOLF CLUB IS THE WAY I SEE IT.

[03:55:18]

1914****186: SURE.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER RAISED HANDS.

PAUL DEGNAN: I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT THE OSBORNE HOMES REZONING PROPOSAL THAT IS BEFORE THE COMMUNITY.

PAUL DEGNAN: AND THE FIRST. I JUST WANT TO COMPLIMENT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS WHO CARED ENOUGH AND PATIENTLY WAITED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE AVON ISSUE.

PAUL DEGNAN: IT IS TRULY BIZARRE THAT THE OSBORNE HOME IS PUSHING A ZONING CHANGE THAT WOULD ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A FOUR STORY BUILDING OF SEVERAL OF THEM JUST A FEW FEET FROM THE OSBORN SCHOOL AND IT'S PLAYGROUND WHERE THERE ARE CURRENTLY GIGANTIC OLD GROWTH SPECIMEN TREES.

PAUL DEGNAN: THE OSBORNE HOME HAS NOT OFFERED TO AMEND THEIR PROPOSAL AT ALL AND CONTINUES TO PUSH TO BUILD SPECIFICALLY HERE.

PAUL DEGNAN: THE SLIVER OF LAND THAT CURRENTLY ACTS AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE OSBORNE HOME PROPERTY AND THE LARGER SQUARE OF OPEN GREEN SPACE ALONG THE OSBORN ROAD BOTH NEED TO BE PROTECTED.

PAUL DEGNAN: THINK ABOUT THE THREE PAUL DEGNAN: PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HERE IN RYE ARE FOR STOREY BUILDINGS ADJACENT TO THE PLAYGROUNDS OF MILTON OR MUSLIM SCHOOLS KNOW THERE AREN'T PAUL DEGNAN: DURING NORMAL NON PANDEMIC TIMES KIDS RUN UNDER THE COVER OF THOSE TREES AND PLAY HIDE AND SEEK.

PAUL DEGNAN: THE CURRENT PROPOSAL WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO THE OSBORN KIDS AND MANY FUTURE GENERATIONS. MAYBE EVEN SOME OF YOUR OWN CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, WHO WOULD ENJOY THAT GREEN SPACE AND THOSE TREES.

PAUL DEGNAN: AND I SEE MAYOR COHEN IS DISPLAYING THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATIONS FLAG WHICH DESIGNATES THE CITY'S TREE CD USA STATUS.

[04:00:01]

PAUL DEGNAN: THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE RAPID URBANIZATION, WE ARE EXPERIENCING HERE AND RYE NO PROPOSAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNLESS IT PROTECTS THOSE GREEN SPACES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU SO JOSH COHN, RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CHRISTIAN. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO BE HEARD.

CHRISTIAN MILLER, CITY PLANNER: NO, NO ONE RAISED THEIR HAND.
