GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THANK YOU ALL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: JOKE, YOU CAN SHARE YOUR SCREEN AND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: PUT UP THE MATERIAL SO AT THE AT THE JANUARY 20 COUNCIL MEETING RYAN COIN AND CHRISTIAN MILLER PRESENTED AN OVERVIEW OF THE PRIORITY CAPITAL PROJECTS, AND I SAY PRIORITY, MEANING THAT THESE WERE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED BY THE COUNCIL REALLY BEGINNING AROUND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AS BEING A CRITICAL FOCUS THEY PROVIDED A MEMO THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: DATA THE THE 15TH OF JANUARY THAT WAS PART OF THAT AGENDA PACKAGE THERE WALK THROUGH THE TIMING BOTH OF THE DESIGN PHASE, AS WELL AS A POTENTIAL EXPECTED OR HOPEFUL CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHAT JOE AND I ARE GOING TO DO TONIGHT IS DOVETAILING WITH THAT MATERIAL TALK ABOUT THE FINANCE PLAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND I WANT TO EMPHASIZE A COUPLE OF THINGS NUMBER ONE IS EVERYTHING WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S SOME SLIDES HERE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS REFLECTIVE OF THE MEMO THAT'S IN THE AGENDA PACKAGE FROM THE LAST MEETING THAT WAS HELD OVER TO THIS WEEK, IT ALSO IS IN THIS WEEK'S AGENDA PACKAGE THIS DATED MARCH FORTH.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT GOES INTO A MUCH MORE DETAIL IN WRITTEN FORM THAN WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SHOW TONIGHT, BUT TONIGHT IS REALLY GOING TO BE A HIGHLIGHT OF THOSE OF THOSE ITEMS. GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE MATERIAL HERE IS GOING TO COVER REALLY THREE BROAD AREAS NUMBER ONE IS GOING TO COVER YOU KNOW THE BASIC WAY IN WHICH THE CITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THROUGH ITS CURRENT RESOURCES CAN PAY FOR THE THE CAPITAL PROJECTS AND WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES TALKING ABOUT THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT'S ALSO GOING TO TALK WE'RE GOING TO TALK TONIGHT ABOUT THE CASH LIQUIDITY NEEDS FOR THE CITY OVER WHETHER IT'S THE NEXT FOUR TO NINE MONTHS PRIOR TO ACTUALLY CONSIDERING A BOND ISSUE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: HOW WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THINGS FROM A LIQUIDITY STANDPOINT AND WITH OUR CASH RESOURCES AND THEN WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO SPEND SOME TIME TALKING ABOUT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHAT THE POTENTIAL DEBT SERVICE EXPENSE WILL BE OR WOULD BE ASSUMING WE, THE COUNCIL GOES FORWARD WITH ALL THESE PROJECTS AND HOW THE CITY WOULD PAY FOR THOSE IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS BUDGET SO SO JOE WHY DON'T WE GO TO THE THE THE FIRST SLIDE IF YOU DON'T MIND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE WE GO SO AS IDENTIFIED IN JANUARY AND ALSO IDENTIFIED IN THIS IN THE IN THE MEMO AND THE PACKAGE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE CITY HAS NUMEROUS PROJECTS THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED OVER THE YEARS AS BEING OF CRITICAL NEED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND BROAD BRUSH YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THESE DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT BUCKETS ONE RELATED TO JUST BRO PART PUBLIC WORKS IMPROVEMENTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ONE LARGE SECTION DEALING WITH THE THIS THIS SO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THEN A THIRD BUCKET, THAT IS, I WILL CALL OTHER, AND THAT INCLUDES THINGS LIKE THE CITY HALL HBC PROJECT FOREST AVENUE SIDEWALKS THE THE RETAINING WALLET ON THEODORE FROM NEXT TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE TOTAL COST OF THOSE AND I WANT TO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ME SAY THIS A FEW TIMES TONIGHT, THE TOTAL COST OF THOSE IS A VERY, VERY ROUGH ESTIMATE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: MEANING THAT WE'VE NOT GONE TO BED WE DON'T HAVE FINAL PLANS, THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF THINGS OPEN ENDED HERE AND WE JUST DON'T YOU KNOW, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF COST, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS BEING OUR OUR FINAL AND FIRM EXPECTATION.

[00:10:16]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE USEFUL LIFE AS I POINT OUT IN THE MEMO AND I'LL POINT OUT AGAIN HERE THE USEFUL LIFE OF THIS IS IMPORTANT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BECAUSE THAT THAT'S GOING TO DRIVE THE TERM OF ANY BOND ISSUE THE CITY'S ABLE TO DO TO FINANCE ANY OF THESE PROJECTS IT'S PRESCRIBED BY THE NEW YORK STATE LOCAL FINANCE LAW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT DOES NOT ACT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY TELL YOU WHAT THE USEFUL LIFE IS GOING TO BE IT JUST MEANS WITH THE STATE WILL ALLOW US TO FINANCE BASED UPON A USEFUL LIFE FOR EACH OF THESE DEFINED PROJECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST YOU'LL SEE DP W BUILDING FIVE THERE WITH THE USEFUL LIFE OF 25 YEARS I THINK THE EXISTING DP W BUILDING FIVE AS A HAS A.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: LIFE OF WELL OVER 50 YEARS CURRENTLY SO IT, THIS IS NOT A CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS USEFUL LIFE, THIS IS WHAT THE STATE PRESCRIBES OUR ABILITY TO FINANCE THESE PROJECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OKAY YEAH.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IN BROAD STROKES, THE THE CITY HAS THREE SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR ITS CAPITAL PROJECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ONE IS THE CAP X RESERVE FUND IF YOU WERE CALLING A COUPLE YEARS AGO THIS THE CAT THIS COUNCIL FINANCE OR THE PRIOR COUNCIL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ESTABLISH A CAP X RESERVE FUND WHERE MONEY'S THERE WERE AN EXCESS OF 10% GENERAL FUND RESERVE OR OTHER ONE TIME REVENUES NON RECURRING REVENUES WERE PUT INTO A RESERVE FUND SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: CAPITAL PROJECTS, THE BALANCE OF THAT FUN CURRENTLY STANDS AT ABOUT $5.5 MILLION, THAT IS YOUR END.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I EXPECTED THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING YOU'LL HEAR AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ENDED THE 2020 YEAR AND ACTUAL NUMBERS AND SO THAT THAT AMOUNT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: COULD ACTUALLY CHANGE IT WON'T GO DOWN, IT COULD GO UP, BUT THAT IS CURRENTLY WHAT'S AVAILABLE BASED UPON LAST YEAR FINANCIALS SECONDLY, WE HAVE GRANTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE CITY HAS RECEIVERS IN THE PROCESS OF RECEIVING GRANTS FOR EVERYTHING FROM THE SALT SHADOW PUBLIC WORKS, WHICH IS A SAM GRANT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO A SERIES OF GRANTS FOR THE SEWER PROJECT WHICH ARE DC BASED, AS WELL AS AS YOU RECALL, YOU ACCEPTED A GRANT FROM THE STATE DO T OR FEDERAL DO T AS IT RELATES TO THE FOREST AVENUE SIDEWALKS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT THAT'S ANOTHER BUCKET OF AVAILABLE MONIES TO PAY FOR THESE PROJECTS AND THEN THIRD, YOU HAVE THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED DEBT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: UNDER THE CODE THAT THE COUNCIL IS AUTHORIZED TO WITHOUT VOTER REFERENDUM TO APPROVE BY SUPERMAJORITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A AMOUNT OF MONEY, BASED UPON THE CITY'S ANNUAL BUDGET, AN AVERAGE OF THE LAST THREE YEARS AND THAT AMOUNT RIGHT NOW IS APPROXIMATELY $13.5 MILLION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO, IN TOTAL, AND AGAIN THIS IS VERY BROAD STROKE, THE CITY HAS AS A RESOURCE TO PAY FOR THE CAPITAL PROJECTS APPROXIMATELY $25.2 MILLION.

OKAY, JOE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NOTING A LITTLE BIT ON THE GRANTS AND, AS I SAID BEFORE, THESE COME FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT SOURCES, THE ONE POINT I WANT TO MAKE ON THIS PAGE ABOUT GRANTS IS THAT COLUMN TITLED NET COST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE AMOUNT OF THE GRANT IS FIXED, IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $6.2 MILLION IN GRANTS THE NET COST OF THESE PROJECTS, HOWEVER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS NOT BASED UPON WILL IT IS BASED UPON THE GRANTS, BUT IS GOING TO BE DRIVEN BY WHAT THE COST IS OF THESE PROJECTS, SO, IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE COST AND I'LL JUST TAKE THE SALT SHED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IF THE COST OF THE SALT SHED IS NOT $650,000, THIS IS THE FIRST LINE THERE, BUT RATHER IF THAT'S $700,000 THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE GRANT AMOUNT CHANGES, IT MEANS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER MOUTH, OVER AND ABOVE THE GRANT IN ORDER TO GET THE PROJECT COMPLETE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREAT, CAN I JUST ASK A GRANT RELATED QUESTION, ARE THERE ANY MORE GRANTS APPLICATIONS IN THE PIPELINE THAT PERHAPS MIGHT ADD TO THE TOTAL OF GRANTS FOR THESE SPECIFIC PROJECTS, OR IS THIS PRETTY MUCH SET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FOR THESE PROJECTS ON THERE THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH SET AND I CAN'T I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT YOU KNOW, IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE I MEAN WE'RE CONSTANTLY AND WE HAVE MILLENNIUM IS OUR GRANT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WRITER AND OUR PARTNER OR CONTRACTOR AND IN TERMS OF GRANT SUBMISSION AND WE DO ON A REGULAR BASIS HAVE GRANTS THAT ARE BEING SUBMITTED, BUT FOR THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS THERE'S THERE'S NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORKS.

THANKS.

[00:15:02]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALRIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND PLEASE I DON'T MEAN TO TALK OVER ALL OF YOU, SO IF THERE'S QUESTIONS, PLEASE INTERRUPT HIM AND JOE BY ALL MEANS ADD AND IF IF I FORGET SOMETHING OKAY, SO WHEN WE GO TO THE NEXT PAGE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREG I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BRAVO FOR $6.1 MILLION OF GRANTS THAT'S FANTASTIC WELL BEYOND EXPECTATION, IT IS VERY GOOD, THANK YOU ARE THESE GRANTS ALL IN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW WHEN WHEN DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THESE GRANTS EXPENDED BY ARE THEY ALL IN 2021 2022 I MEAN I DON'T YOU KNOW THE TOTAL COSTS ARE GREAT, BUT HOW IS THAT SPREAD OUT OVER THE NEXT FIVE OR SEVEN YEARS, AM I GETTING AHEAD OF YOU I'M SORRY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NO, NO, NO THAT'S THAT'S QUITE ALL RIGHT IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION UM AND I ASPIRE TO NOTE THIS VERY BRIEFLY IN THE IN THE IN THE MEMO WAS WELL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FORTUNATELY FOR US THESE GRANTS AND I'M GOING TO SAY THIS VERY GENERALLY ARE SOMEWHAT PAY AS YOU GO, SO, IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND TRUNKS AS MONEY IS EXPENDED FOR, WHETHER THEY BE SOFT COSTS, WHETHER THEY BE HARD ASKED WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE VERY END.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO BE REIMBURSED, IN OTHER WORDS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO OUTLAY THESE MONIES LIKE A FEMALE GRANT AND THEN WAIT FOR THEM TO COME IN AND AUDIT AND PAY US BACK SO THERE WILL BE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I'LL CALL IT MANY AUDIT SO ALONG THE WAY, AND AS MONIES ARE EXPENDED WILL RECEIVE THOSE REIMBURSEMENTS IN TERMS OF TIMING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND I'LL HAVE TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: COME BACK TO YOU AFTER I CLEAR THIS, BUT THERE IS NOT A.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE'S NOT A TIME THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE AN EXPLORER EXPLORING DATE THAT SAYS, IF WE DON'T GET THIS SPENT BY JANUARY OF 2022, THAT IS THE CASE, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE GHOSTS OR GRANTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OR THE FLOOD PROJECTS, THERE IS A DROP DEAD DATE THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM FOR THESE BY AND LARGE WE'RE NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO THAT SAME THAT WE DON'T SPEND THEM THE NEXT 15 MONTHS, THEN WE LOSE MONEY.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALL RIGHT, I'M PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PAGE OF THIS DISCUSSION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IF YOU IF YOU THINK ABOUT THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT I JUST WENT OVER WE HAVE USES THE FUNDS WHICH ARE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THAT TOTAL IS A LITTLE UNDER $27 MILLION TODAY, PLEASE NO THAT'S GOING TO LET ME REPHRASE THAT THAT IS ABOUT 20 $23 MILLION AND I'LL COME BACK TO THAT IN A SECOND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO BE HIGHER I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT 23 IS GOING TO BE 20 OR 25 OR 26 MILLION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE PROJECTS THAT WE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT'S ABOUT $23 MILLION DOLLARS NOW I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TWO LINES ON THE USE OF THE FUNDS CHARGED NUMBER ONE IS YOU'LL SEE ALIGNED TITLE 2012 PROJECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IN 2012 THE CITY DADDY BOND REFERENDUM FOR $1.68 MILLION, IT WAS FOR STREETSCAPES IT WAS FOR THE DOWNTOWN IT WAS FOR SOME SIDEWALK PROJECTS SOME MONIES THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY SPENT AT FIREMAN CIRCLE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: $1.68 MILLION WITH REFERENDUM AND PAST $1.68 MILLION WAS SPENT IT BY THE CITY, THERE WERE NO BONDS ISSUE AS IT RELATES TO THAT REFERENDUM.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO, WHILE WE ARE FACING, OR WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS THE GENERAL FUND HAS A RECEIVABLE OF 1.68 MILLION FOR MONIES THAT WERE EXPENDED THAT WERE NEVER BOUGHT IT FOR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO PART OF WHAT WE WILL WHAT I WOULD PROPOSE TO DO WHAT WE SUGGEST THAT THE COUNCIL CONSIDERING THIS WILL BE LATER IN THE FINANCE LATER AS WE LOOK INTO THE FINANCE CLAIM FURTHER WE GET CLOSE TO PROJECTS BEING FINANCE IS THAT WE WILL NEED TO BOND FOR THAT 1.68 MILLION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: UNFORTUNATELY IT'S SOMEWHAT OF A OF A HOLLOW BORROWING BECAUSE WE DON'T GET ANYTHING OTHER THAN A REIMBURSEMENT OF THE GENERAL FUND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE DON'T GET ANYTHING BUT A REIMBURSEMENT OF THE GENERAL FUND FOR THOSE MONIES SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE BUILDING ANYTHING NEW OR DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT IT'S ACTUALLY REIMBURSING THE CITY FOR MONIES THAT WERE SPENT ON PROJECTS THAT WERE INTENDED TO BE, BUT WE'RE NEVER BONDED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT'S 1,000,006 EIGHT THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL COUNCIL ACTION, IT WAS ALREADY PASSED IN REFERENCE.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW IN THIS KIND OF KEEPS IN LINE WITH WE HAVEN'T BONDED IN A WHILE, BUT YOU KNOW IN PAST WE HAD DONE A GROUP OF PROJECTS.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: THAT WE'RE ON THE REFERENDUM AND THEN WENT OUT LATER ON AND ACTUALLY BORROW THE MONEY BECAUSE WE HAD CASH TO FLOAT THE PROJECTS OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MUCH SMALLER AMOUNT WASN'T A LARGE YOU KNOW REFERENDUM SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE.

[00:20:02]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE SECOND LINE, I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO IS THE LINE AGAIN UNDER USES OF FUNDS AT THE END TITLE CONTINGENCY 3.51 MILLION RIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT IS FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM A FLOOD NUMBER, MEANING THAT, IF YOU TAKE ALL OF THE PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE 2012 PROJECT AND ADD THOSE UP.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND YOU COMPARE THAT TO THE SOURCES OF FUNDS AT THE BOTTOM, WHICH HAS ALL THE MONIES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL $3.5 MILLION AND THE WAY TO THINK ABOUT THE $3.5 MILLION IS THAT THAT IS WHAT IS AVAILABLE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO PAY FOR COST OVERRUNS NEW ESTIMATES CHANGES ANYTHING ELSE, AS IT RELATES TO THAT PROJECT LIST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO WHEN WE GET THE SALT SHED WHEN I SAID BEFORE, IS IF IT COMES IN $100,000 MORE THAN WHAT I'VE ALREADY SHOWN YOU AS AN EXPECTED AMOUNT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT'S GOING TO EAT INTO THE 3.5 MILLION IF WE DO FORCE AVENUE SIDEWALKS AND THOSE COME IN SOME NUMBER OF DOLLARS HIGHER THAN WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE THAT'S WHERE THAT'S GOING TO GO, SO WE CAN AFFORD TO DO ALL THE PROJECTS ON THAT LIST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND HAVE A MARGIN OF ERROR OF THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS BEFORE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: STAFF WILL COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY I HATE TO TELL YOU ABOUT, WE NEED TO DOWNSIZE, WE NEED TO SUBSTITUTE, WE NEED TO TAKE SOMETHING OFF.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT THAT'S THAT'S IT'S IT'S THIS IS, THIS IS THE THING THAT IS GOING TO EVOLVE AND CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR, AS WE BEGAN COMING WITH BERMAN PROJECT ESTIMATES, WHETHER THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE A REAL READ BRAINER DECISION ALREADY TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: GET A BETTER PROJECT, AND WE HAVE AN ACTUAL PRICE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION GREG SO UM WE HAVE YOU KNOW WE HAVE THESE LISTS OF PROJECTS WHICH I'M ASSUMING ARE SCOPED BASED ON WHATEVER CRITERIA, THE I DON'T THINK WE SCOPED IT IN MARCH, BUT PROBABLY IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THEY WERE SCOPED BY THE CITY COUNCIL AND YOU OR.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOUR PREDECESSOR RYAN COIN AND SO THERE'S SOME I COULD LOOK SOMEWHERE AND SAY OKAY, THE LOCUST AVENUE SEWER IS ALIGNING PROJECT, IT GOES FROM THIS STREET TO THIS STREET, AND THIS IS THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH ALIGN YOUR PROJECT OF THIS MANY LINEAR FEET CORRECT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: CORRECT YES.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO WHAT MAKES IT WHAT MAKES IT A NUMBER THAT WE'RE NOT A CERTAIN ABOUT IS BECAUSE SOME OF THESE ESTIMATES MAY BE OLD.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CORRECT RIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO, SO TODAY, I MEAN YOU COULD HAVE THINGS AND I'M IN THIS LIST FANTASY VERY GOOD QUESTION THAT ARE A YEAR OLD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TWO YEARS OLD OR THINGS LIKE BUILDING FIVE IT'S GONE THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT INCARNATIONS OF DESIGN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BECAUSE WE WERE THINKING ABOUT IT JUST FOR THE PW THEN WE WERE CONSIDERING IT POTENTIALLY FOR TEMPORARY COURT FACILITY AND THEN NOW BACK TO THAT, SO I WOULD SAY, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IS THE AGE THAT'S THE CHALLENGE AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE STARTED IN JANUARY WITH RYAN AND KRISTEN AND WHY WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING PROBABLY ANOTHER VERSION OF THAT DISCUSSION PRESENTATION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IF IT WORKS INTO THE AGENDA IN THE NEXT SAME MONTH TO SIX WEEKS BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO GET A BETTER A MUCH BETTER HANDLE ON WHAT THOSE COSTS ARE GOING TO BE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OK, SO THE REASON I ASKED THE QUESTION, INITIALLY, IS THAT YOU HAVE POLICE COURT FACILITIES TO $3.7 MILLION AND I'M GOING TO GUESS THAT'S A REHAB OF THE EXISTING FACILITY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY IN THE WORLD THAT IS GOING TO COVER MOVING TEMPORARY MOVEMENT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, PLUS A REHAB OF THAT OLD BUILDING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY USING FOR POLICE SERVICES SO.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT 3.7 NUMBER IN MY MIND BY ITSELF COULD BLOW YOUR BUDGET UP IF IT'S SO I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS DO YOU HAVE A CONTINGENCY PLAN IF THAT $3.7 MILLION, WHICH I BELIEVE IS UNDER BASED ON YOU KNOW OUR EARLIER CONVERSATIONS ON IT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ISN'T ENOUGH LIKE YOU HAVE A PRIORITY, WHERE YOU SAY OKAY WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE OUT SEWER PROJECT, THE WALL AND THEATER FRIEND OR A MANHOLE REHAB OR SOMETHING TO GET US BECAUSE THAT HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT, WE HAVE AN ADA ISSUE THERE WELL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE THERE'S.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THIS IS, THIS IS THE MOST COMPLICATED PART OF THIS ENTIRE PLAN IS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE A VERY SPECIFIC DECISION ON A SERIES OF PROJECTS WHEN THE SEQUENCING DOESN'T PERFECTLY LINEUP.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE SHORT ANSWER I GUESS IS THAT THERE THE CONTINGENCY IS GOING TO COME BACK TO HAVING TO BEGIN DOWNSIZING OR ELIMINATING PROJECTS IF CERTAIN OF THESE.

[00:25:06]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ARE SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED AND THE CHALLENGE FOR YOU AS A COUNCIL AND ME AS A AS AN ADMINISTRATOR IS THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SOME OF THIS INFORMATION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE VERY FIRM GOOD IDEAS IN THE NEXT FIVE MONTHS LET'S SAY FOUR MONTHS, SOME ARE GOING TO TAKE LONGER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND YET WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE AS A STATIC DECISION TODAY, THE ONE OTHER THING I'LL ADD THAT I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE, IN TERMS OF BONDING CAPACITY, AND THIS WILL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO IT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS THAT THERE ARE TWO ADDITIONAL AUTHORIZATIONS, THE COUNCIL CAN RELY ON FOR DEBT ONE IS A PUBLIC SAFETY EXEMPTION AND THE OTHER IS A DISASTER RECOVERY EXEMPTION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THOSE TWO TOGETHER AT ABOUT FOUR LITTLE OVER $4 MILLION COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THAT IF THAT'S WHAT IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO DO ALL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SOME OF THESE PROJECTS WILL CLEARLY FALL INTO THESE TWO BUCKETS, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THEODORE FROM WALL THAT IS A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN UNDERWAY FOR DESIGN FOR MANY YEARS, BECAUSE IT'S, IT IS A RETAINING WALL THAT OF BUTTS THE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE TRAIN TRACKS ON THEODORE FRIEND, IT WAS IT WAS RENDERED IN THE CONDITION AND THEN BECAUSE OF SANDY, AS I UNDERSTAND, SO WE'VE ALREADY PLAYED.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: SORRY SORRY, YES IT ACTUALLY GOES BACK ABOUT TWO 2007 FROM A NOR'EASTERS, AND THIS IS KIND OF WHERE THIS EXEMPTION CAME FROM WAS ALL THE FLOODING THAT HAPPENED THAT YEAR, SO THIS IS KIND OF WHERE THIS WAS BORN.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: FROM THIS, YOU KNOW THESE EVENTS SORRY, NO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NO, NO, THAT I APPRECIATE THE I NEED A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON SERVICE BUT SO WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT BEING ABLE TO USE THESE AUTHORIZATIONS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FOR CERTAIN CERTAIN OF THESE PROJECTS, WHICH THEN GIVES THE COUNCIL AN ADDITIONAL $4 MILLION AND CAPACITY IF IT'S IF IT'S NECESSARY BUT BUT I, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL, THERE WILL HAVE TO BE SOME REVIEWS ON SOME OF THESE PROJECTS IN TERMS OF SCOPE OR DESIGN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AS THE NUMBER START YOU KNOW PANNING OUT AND PLAY IT OUT, BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT THERE'S THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL EXPENSES HERE AND I CAN'T TELL YOU, AS WE SIT HERE TODAY WHETHER THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS, IS GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OR WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE THREE AND A HALF, PLUS 4 MILLION PLUS SOME OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AREN'T THERE USUALLY SORT OF RULE OF THUMB PERCENTAGE OF PROJECT COST CONTINGENCY IS IT I CAN'T REMEMBER BUT 15% 20% BECAUSE THIS IS JUST OBVIOUSLY, THESE ARE ALL VERY DIFFERENT PROJECTS SO WE'RE LOOKING AT AT A KIND OF A BLENDED CONTINGENCY IN A WAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THIS LOOKS ROUGHLY LESS THAN 15% SO JUST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YEAH I MEAN, SIR, I THINK THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE RIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I THINK THAT THE THING YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER, AND THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT GOOD NEWS IS THAT THAT'S ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE A GOOD NUMBER TO START WITH.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO, IN OTHER WORDS, YES 15% WOULD BE A REASONABLE CONTINGENCY AMOUNT, BUT THAT'S ASSUMING YOUR BASE NUMBER IS A PR NUMBER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THEN YOU'RE NOW HAVING TO DEAL WITH WHAT HAPPENS IF WE FIND SOIL THAT'S NOT CLEAN, OR WHAT HAPPENS IF WE NEED A FUNDING, WHERE WE DIDN'T THINK WE NEEDED A BUDDY THAT'S WHERE THE CONTINGENCY WOULD BE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK ALSO THAT ALSO COMES WITH A HARD SET OF PLANS WHICH NONE WE DON'T HAVE PLANS YET FOR ANY OF THIS SO ONCE WE GET A YOU KNOW, A TRUE SET OF PLANS BASED ON ACTUAL ESTIMATES AND.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW MATERIALS COSTS AND LABOR'S LABOR COSTS, I THINK IT'S EASIER TO HAVE A REAL CONTINGENCY AT THAT POINT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I THINK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AS EMPLOYEE IF IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALSO FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT SOME OF THIS IS IS LEGALLY COMPELLED, AND SO, FOR INSTANCE PORTION OF THE SEWER PROJECTS ARE THE RESULT OF THE SAVE THE SOUND SETTLEMENT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE POLICE COURT RENOVATION IS STATE MANDATED HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, AND WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INDULGE IN THE PLANNING PROCESS BUT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT, OR WE RISK OUR STATE AID SO IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED DANCE THAT GREG AND JOE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO BECAUSE WE'VE GOT LEGALLY COMPELLED ASPECTS OF THIS WE'VE GOT GRANT FUNDING, IN PART, FOR SOME OF THESE PROJECTS AS WELL, AND HAVING THE GRANT FUNDING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MAY ENCOURAGE US TO INVEST OUR MATCHES IN THOSE PROJECTS AND PERHAPS NOT INVEST IN OTHER PROJECTS THAT DON'T HAVE GRANT FUNDING.

[00:30:03]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND THEN OF COURSE THERE'S JUST THEY'RE JUST THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CITY NEED AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND I REFER TO MY VIRTUAL BACKGROUND I KNOW THE COUNCIL KNOWS THAT BUT WE'VE GOT SOME SOME RESIDENTS ON THE LINE THAT SHOWS THE BACK OF ONE OF OUR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DP W BUILDINGS BUILDING SEVEN IT DOES BRO AND IS AN INDICATION OF THE CONDITION OF SOME OF THE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THAT'S CRYING OUT FOR ATTENTION AND SO GREG AND JOE AND THEN ULTIMATELY, THE COUNCIL WILL WILL HAVE TO BE FINDING A PATH THROUGH THESE COSTS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREG AND AND JOE AND I GUESS IT'S ALSO A COUNCIL DISCUSSION AT SOME POINT HAVE YOU FACTORED IN THE OR ARE WE ABLE TO USE THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MONIES OR THE END OR THE AIM STATE EIGHT I'M NOT SURE I THINK THAT WAS 1.2 MILLION AND THEN AMERICAN RESCUE IS ROUGHLY 1.7 IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD FOLD INTO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OUR CAP X RESERVE FUND OR YES, I CAN BE RATHER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: RATHER, I MEAN THE AMERICAN RESCUE MONEY'S ON THE WAY THEY'VE BEEN DEFINED, THEY YOU, YOU CAN WHAT WELL PART OF THE LIMITED LIST OF THINGS THAT CAN BE USED FOR DOES INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT THAT CERTAINLY IS A POSSIBILITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER NEEDS AND, FRANKLY, ONE OF THE FUTURE COUNCIL ITEMS WILL BE TO PRESENT TO YOU, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED WHAT WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE REMEMBER THAT'S GOING TO BE OVER TWO YEAR PERIOD WE DON'T GET ALL THAT THIS YEAR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO PART OF THAT CONSIDERATION WILL BE FOR JOE AND I TO COME TO YOU AND SAY HERE ARE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THREE OR FOUR YOU KNOW, WHATEVER NUMBER OF AREAS THAT YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN FINANCIAL NEED AND THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE CONSIDERATION.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW, LIKE ANY ONE TIME REVENUE, WE TRY TO SPEND IT ON A ONE TIME EXPENSE, YOU KNOW SIMILAR TO IF THERE'S A SHORTFALL ON EXPENSE AND THE REVENUE SOMEWHERE.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: ANTICIPATED EXPENDITURE SO YEAH WE KIND OF HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY THERE, SO THERE ARE SOME NEEDS, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE SOME OF THE REVENUES THAT WE WERE COUNTING ON MAY NOT COME IN THIS YEAR AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO YES, WE'VE TAKEN THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR SURE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I THINK WORTH NOTING THAT THIS LIST IS THE TOP OF A LIST OF LIKE 60 TO $70 MILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING IN QUEUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, SO TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS, THESE ARE THE MOST PRESSING OF THEM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THERE, UNFORTUNATELY, IS A LONG LIST BEHIND THEM TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE UM THE OTHER THING I'LL JUST ADD IN THIS IS, WE DID RECEIVE SOME GOOD NEWS LAST WEEK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT WHAT YOU WILL SEE NEXT PROBABLY THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT A YEAR END RESULT IS THAT THE STATE DID RELEASE ABOUT 95%.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OF THE STATE AID MONEY THAT WAS HELD LAST YEAR, IF YOU RECALL, IT WAS AROUND $200,000 AND CHANGE THAT WOULD WOULD HELP PENDING THE STATE BUDGET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ABOUT 180 SOME ODD THOUSAND HUNDRED 85,000 OF THAT HAS BEEN IS GOING TO BE RELEASED AND WILL BE REFLECTED IN OUR YEAR END RESULTS, AND THAT WAS MONEY THAT WE HAD BUDGETED OR WE HAD PLANNED FOR IF YOU RECALL, LAST YEAR, AND OUR FINANCIAL PLANNING COVEN PLANNING THAT WE WERE ABLE TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE WERE ABLE TO SPEND LESS THAN THAN WHAT WE ORIGINALLY EXPECTED WE'RE GOING TO SPEND SO THAT THAT MONEY WILL ACTUALLY BE ON YOU KNOW, ON AN UNEXPECTED GAME IN OUR YEAR END RESULTS.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: WHICH ALSO AS A RESULT THAT THE AMERICAN CARY GRANT AS WELL.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: THEY KIND OF FEEL THE STATE'S BUDGET SHORTFALLS, WHICH, WITH THE STATE WAS DOING WITH HOLDING THAT MONEY UNTIL THEY WERE SURE HOW TO HANDLE THEIR SHORTFALLS AND NOW THAT'S HAPPENED, YOU KNOW WE WERE GOING TO GET MOST OF THAT MONEY, IF NOT ALL OF IT AS IN CONVERSATIONS HAD LAST WEEK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SORRY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M SORRY GREG SO.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IS THE TOP 26 MILLION OUT OF 60 OR $70 MILLION OF PROJECTS AND YOU'VE PRIORITIZE THIS 26 OR 27 REALLY MILLION DOLLARS OF PROJECTS BASED ON THINGS LIKE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NUMBER ONE WOULD BE HEALTH AND SAFETY NUMBER TWO WOULD BE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS NUMBER THREE WOULD BE REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS CORRECT THAT WOULD BE LIKE THE ORDER THAT YOU WOULD HAVE USED TO CREATE THIS TOP LIST FROM THE ENTIRE LIST OF PRODUCTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THIS IS THAT THIS LIST WE ACTUALLY WAS NOT, I MEAN STAFF REALLY HAD INPUT OR SUGGESTIONS OR INFORMATION RELATING TO THIS ACTUALLY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: GOES BACK TO THINGS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED BY COUNCIL IN 2008 I BELIEVE IT WAS 2018 OR MAYBE SLIGHTLY OFF ON THAT DAY, BECAUSE I WAS PREDATED ME, BUT THESE WERE THINGS THAT BASED UPON ALL THOSE ITEMS YOU NOTED PAM.

[00:35:10]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AS AND THEN WITH COUNCIL DIRECTION WHERE WE WANTED TO YOU KNOW FOCUS, BUT BY AND LARGE, IT IS PUBLIC SAFETY, IT HAS MANDATED YOU KNOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: EITHER EITHER QUARTER REGULATORY BODY FINDINGS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THERE WERE REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS I GUESS YOU COULD CALL CITY HALL HBC A REVENUE ENHANCEMENT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WASTE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE SPENDING ON ON UTILITY BILLS AND UNHAPPY UNHAPPY PERSONNEL DURING THE HEAT WAVES, BUT BUT THERE, YOU KNOW THAT, YES, I MEAN, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IF YOU'RE RIGHT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I ASKED BECAUSE WE YOU KNOW, I HAVE A PERSONAL INTEREST IN THIS KIND OF WORK, YOU KNOW THAT ANYWAY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THERE ARE PROJECTS IN HERE THAT CONCERN ME THAT WERE DISCARDED AND I WASN'T ON THE COUNCIL IN 2018 AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE NOT REALLY LOOKING AT THOSE THINGS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT AS LIKE LET'S SAY THE DREDGING ISSUE GETS WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE, THE ECONOMICS OF IT AT SOME POINT IF WE DON'T DO IT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE MAKE IT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EVER GET IT DONE SO, I GUESS WHAT I'M WONDERING IS SORRY ABOUT THE DOGS IN THE BACKGROUND, WHAT I'M WONDERING, IS HOW DO WE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE ARE PUTTING MONEY ASIDE OR DOING SOMETHING FOR PROJECTS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT, CLEARLY WE CAN'T I'M SURE THERE'S SOME OF THE GOLF COURSE TO THAT WE JUST CAN'T LET THEM GO THAT MUCH LONGER.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT REASONS TO DO THEM AND MAYBE COMING UP WITH SOME SORT OF FINANCE PLAN TO GET THOSE TO ENTERPRISE FUND PROJECTS SET SOME PROJECTS DONE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I KNOW IT'S NOT PART OF THIS 26 MILLION, BUT WILL YOU BRING US SOMETHING FOR THAT OTHER GROUP OF PROJECTS, PLEASE, SO THAT WE CAN MAYBE COME UP WITH A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THOSE AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE EXPENSIVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I THINK THE HOLD UP ON THE ON THE ON THE DREDGING DISCUSSION IS THE FACT THAT WE, TO THIS DAY, I CANNOT TELL YOU, AS WE SIT HERE TODAY WITH THE DREDGE PROJECT IS A $2 MILLION PROJECT OR A $12 MILLION PROJECT AND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE CONTINUES TO BE AN AWFUL LOT OF WORK IN ANALYSIS AND AND PERMIT APPLICATION FOR MAKING THAT DETERMINATION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE THE BOAT BASIN HAS RESERVED AND JOE CORRECTLY FROM ON I THINK IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE $2.2 MILLION RANGE DEDICATED AND THEIR OWN FUND ACCOUNT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT YES, I MEAN I HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO NOT BELIEVE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FACE THAT IN THE YOU KNOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT IT'S IT'S LACK OF IT'S, THE PROBLEM IS WITH WITH THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU, I HAVE SOME LEVEL OF COMPETENCE, BUT THE NUMBERS ARE IN THE AREA.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I CAN TELL YOU, IF IT'S PLUS ANOTHER 20% OR 30%, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, WITHIN THE AREA CODE FOR THE DREDGE OF THE BOAT BASIN I CAN'T TELL YOU WITHIN THREE MULTIPLES OR OR MULTIPLES WHAT THAT COST IS GOING TO BE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHICH.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET ME, LET ME JUMP IN, IF I MAY, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT PAM HAS MENTIONED THE ENTERPRISE FUND ASPECT OF THINGS AND BEFORE WE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: TELL OURSELVES THAT WE'RE CREATING A PLAN FOR THE CITY TO COVER ENTERPRISE FUND COSTS, WE NEED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE A PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF THE CITY'S ROLE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IN FUNDING ENTERPRISE FUND NEEDS I THINK IT'S CORRECT THAT AS WE THINK ABOUT THE BOAT BASE AND WE WILL ALSO INEVITABLY BE THINKING ABOUT THE GOLF CLUB.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BUT IF WE GET IF WE DECIDE THAT WE NEED TO DO THIS AND SHOULD DO THIS, THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WITH A.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: STRONG SENSE OF WHERE THE TAXPAYERS WANT US TO GO, THAT IS, THE ENTERPRISE FUND STRUCTURE WAS PUT IN PLACE SOME YEARS AGO AND WITH STRONG FEELINGS ON BOTH SIDES OF IT, I EXPECT THAT THOSE STRONG FEELINGS REMAIN AND WE, AS A COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO SORT OUT WHERE THAT TAKES US.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO ACKNOWLEDGE, BUT, AND I AGREE 100% WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD AND ENTERPRISE FUND IS JUST AN ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ON A CITY OWNED.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A CITY OWNED RESOURCE THAT WE CREATE A SORT OF MONITORING SYSTEM FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSE IT'S STILL A CITY.

[00:40:08]

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PROCESS IT'S STILL THAT GOLF COURSE IS AS MUCH THE CITIES, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S AN ENTERPRISE FUND AND SO'S THE BASIN AND AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE ON THE HOOK.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE'S ENTERPRISE MONEY AVAILABLE OR NOT WE'RE UNRELIABLE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE, THE CITY FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS AT THOSE PLACES AS WE'VE LEARNED WITH THE GOLF COURSE IN THE PAST IT OPPRESSED FUNDING IS MORE OF AN ACCOUNTING ISSUE, AND MAYBE A PSEUDO LEGAL ISSUE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND NOT REALLY ABOUT ABOUT FUNDAMENTALLY, WHAT IS OUR OBLIGATION I JUST I'LL LEAVE IT WITH THAT, BUT I, I THINK, MAYBE KRISTIN WILL NEED TO EXPLAIN OR OR JOE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EXPLAIN THAT TO US A LITTLE BIT MORE WHEN WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S QUITE WHAT YOU'RE THINKING JOB.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, CAN I JUST JUMP IN ON THIS BECAUSE I DEFINITELY SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THERE PAM I THINK IT'S IT'S MORE QUESTION OF THE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHETHER OR NOT IT'S ACCOUNTING AND LEGAL AND ALSO IT'S ALSO THE INTENT RIGHT THOSE WERE CREATED AS THEY WERE TO BE SELF SUSTAINING RIGHT AND TO SUPPORT ALL THE OPERATIONS AND UPKEEP AND EVERYTHING OF THOSE AND SO, IF NOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT BECAUSE THEY ARE MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS RIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T IF I'M NOT A MEMBER OF RIGHT GOLF I CAN'T GO JUMP IN THE POOL OR JUMP ON THE GOLF COURSE RIGHT, SO I THINK.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING IS IS RIGHT AND WORTHY OF DISCUSSION I JUST THINK.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I ALSO AGREE WITH JOSH IN THAT IT'S MORE OF A PHILOSOPHICAL DISCUSSION TO RIGHT LIKE YOU KNOW HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT THIS IF WE IT WAS SET UP TO BE A SELF SUSTAINING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ENTITY AND IF YOU'RE GOING, YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING BACK INTO THE GENERAL POOL OF TAX DOLLARS TO SUPPORT THAT ENTITY, THEN THAT'S JUST A CONVERSATION THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE HAVE TO HAVE WITH NO JUDGMENT EITHER WAY OF HOW IT ENDS UP IT'S JUST THAT'S ALL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: RIGHT, SO LET ME FLIP OVER TO ONE LAST PAGE, I PROMISE, THIS WILL BE IT UNLESS THERE'S SOME MORE QUESTIONS THE LAST CONSIDERATION IS THE IMPLICATION ON THE BUDGET AND THE TAX RATE AND, AS YOU MAY RECALL, WE DID HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BONDS THAT MATURE LAST YEAR, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THERE, THERE IS A THERE IS ROOM, IF YOU WILL, AND CURRENT TAX RATE TO HAVE BONDS ISSUE FOR THESE PROJECTS, WE ARE ALSO IN SPITE OF SOME OF THE RECENT UPTICK IN RATES, WE ARE STILL AT NEARLY 40 YEAR LOWS AND THEN FRUSTRATES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE THE REASON WHY I POINTED OUT THE USEFUL LIFE OF THESE PROJECTS AT THE BEGINNING, IS THAT THAT IS GOING TO DRIVE HOW LONG WE CAN AMORTIZE THE DEBT FOR THOSE PROJECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE LONGER YOU AMORTIZE THE DEBT, JUST LIKE YOU DO ON A MORTGAGE THE LOWER THE ANNUAL COST IS IN A FROM AN ACADEMIC STANDPOINT, YOU WOULD LIKE TO FINANCE THE ASSET OVER ITS USEFUL LIFE, WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THE STATE IS BAD, WHICH THESE USED TO LIKE TEST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FOR THE AMOUNT OF DEBT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT APPROXIMATELY, WHICH IS THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZED THAT PLUS THE BONDS RELATED TO THE 2012 REFERENDUM.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A 30 YEAR AMORTIZING BOND ISSUE, WHICH IS ABOUT A MUNICIPAL BOND ADVERTISING THE SAME WAY, A MORTGAGE DOES WITH LEVEL ANNUAL PAYMENTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WOULD RESULT IN 600 ABOUT $640,000 OF ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE THAT SAME AMOUNT OF DATA AMORTIZED OVER 20 YEARS IS 807 $870,000 CURRENTLY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THE POINT IS THAT WE WOULD BECAUSE THE OVERALL LEVEL OF RATES, BECAUSE OF THE SMALL DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN A 20 YEAR RATE AND A 30 YEAR RATE AND BECAUSE OF THE ASSETS THAT WERE FINANCING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO FINANCE, I AM GOING TO RECOMMEND, LET ME REPHRASE THAT I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND FINANCING THESE AS LONG AS THE USEFUL LIFE TEST WILL ALLOW US TO FINANCE, WHICH WILL BE CLOSE TO 30 YEARS I MEAN I GET ALL THE WAY THERE WE CLOSE TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A GREAT DEAL OF CONCERN OR THERE HAS BEEN THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IS RATES GO UP.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE ALREADY HAVE SEEN SOME UPTICK IN THE COURSE OF THE LAST SIX MONTHS, AS THERE SEEMS TO BE SIGNS AND SOME ECONOMIC RECOVERY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE FED HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO EXPECTS TO KEEP SHORT TERM RATES AT NEAR ZERO FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN LONG TERM RATES ARE GOING TO STAY LOW, BUT IT IS IT ISN'T GOOD IT'S GOOD MESSAGING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT, AS YOU READ THE NEWSPAPER AND IT SAYS TREASURY RATES HAVE DONE ONE THING OR ANOTHER TAX EXEMPT BOND RATES DO NOT MOVE NECESSARILY IN PERFECT LOCKSTEP WITH TREASURY RATES SO EVEN THOUGH TREASURE RATES HAVE GONE UP.

[00:45:02]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, TAX EXEMPT RATES HAVE GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY LESS BY COMPARISON.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE RATES I'M SHOWING YOU HERE, ARE THEY ARE THE INTEREST FALSE AND OLD DEBT SERVICE I'M SHOWING YOU HERE IS REFLECTIVE OF WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT I'M ALSO SHOWING YOU IN THE LAST LINE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF INTEREST RATES SHIFTED UP BY 1% BY THE TIME WE BORROWED MONEY, IT WOULD RESULT IN ABOUT $90,000 OF ANNUALLY HIGHER DEBT SERVICE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT WE ARE UNLIKELY TO NEED THE MONEY BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THEREFORE BORROWING IT TODAY MEANS WE'RE INCURRING THE DEBT SERVICE EXPENSE FOR MONEY THAT WE DON'T NEED TO CURRENTLY BORROW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE TRADE OFF TO THAT IS IS THE DIFFERENCE RATES INTEREST RATES ARE HIGHER IN A YEAR, THEN THERE IS ADDITIONAL COSTS THAT WE DIDN'T.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE OTHERWISE AND KURT INCURRED SO KIND OF WALK IN THIS FINE LINE BETWEEN WHEN DO WE NEED THE MONEY AND DO WE WANT TO PAY POTENTIALLY HIGHER INTEREST RATES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN WORKING WITH THE CITY'S FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND OUR BOND COUNCIL TO TRY TO GET ALL OF OUR DUCKS IN A ROW, AND OUR PAPERS READY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND SO EFFECTIVELY ONCE WE RECEIVE AUDITED FINANCIALS THIS YEAR, WE WOULD, THEREFORE, YOU WOULD THEREFORE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY OF WHETHER WE WANTED TO ACTUALLY ENTER THE MARKET AND BORROW THE MONEY OR NOT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ONE LAST NOTE WE DID BUDGET APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS WORTH OF DEBT SERVICE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NOT KNOWING WHERE WE WOULDN'T BE IN THE KIND OF THE CYCLE AND NOT KNOWING WHERE INTEREST RATES WERE GOING TO BE SO JOE AND I AND OUR RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION LAST NOVEMBER DIDN'T INCLUDE SIX MONTHS WITH A DEBT SERVICE FOR THAT PURPOSE.

AGAIN.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: JUST TO MENTION THE TOTAL DEBT SERVICE THAT DID COME OFF AFTER 2020 WAS ABOUT $710,000.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: THERE'LL BE ANOTHER HUNDRED AND 40,000 COMING OFF THIS YEAR AND OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IN TOTAL WILL BE ABOUT ANOTHER 700,000 IN TOTAL.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: SO FROM 2020 THROUGH 25 YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT $1.4 MILLION OF DEBT SERVICE THAT WOULD BE COMING OFF THE CITY THAT SERVICE PAYMENTS, I SHOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE COMING OFF THE CITY'S BOOKS, LEAVING THE ONLY THE 2010 BOND, AS THE ONLY OUTSTANDING DEBT AT THE TIME, SO.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF I COULD JUST CLARIFY ONE THING TO THAT THE AVERAGE INTEREST RATE THAT YOU'RE SHOWING HERE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS BASED ON OUR TRIPLE A CREDIT RATING, WHICH FOR THOSE WATCHING FROM HOME IS THE BEST CREDIT RATING THAT THE MUNICIPALITY OR ENTITY CAN GET THEREFORE WE'RE BORROWING AT THE CHEAPEST RATES POSSIBLE IN THE MARKET.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT RIGHT.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: AND THAT RATING WAS LAST GIVEN IN 2019 WHEN WE REFINANCE THE 2010 DAYS.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WILL THAT BE REAFFIRMED WHEN YOU GO TO BORROW AGAIN.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: WITH ME WRITE IT AGAIN, YES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YES, IT WILL BE IT AND THERE'S THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO INDICATE ANY CHANGE WHATSOEVER, BUT YES THAT'S PART OF THE ONCE WE HAVE OUR NEW FINANCE OR CLEAN FINANCIALS FOR 2020 AUDITED FINANCIALS AND ONCE WE HAVE A PLAN THAT THE RATING AGENCIES DO REVIEW AND AFFIRM THE RATINGS AGAIN.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I HAVE A QUESTION WHAT HAPPENS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF WE INCLUDE AN ITEM IN THE BOND AND WE END UP NOT GOING FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT DO WE GET PENALIZED FOR THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NO, THE CAROLINA THE THE WAY THAT IT WORKS, WE ARE BORROWING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BASED ON OUR ON OUR GENERAL OBLIGATION RATING OUR ABILITY TO RAISE PROPERTY TAXES OR TO THAT WE HAVE PROPERTY TAXES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE ARE GIVING A GREAT DEAL OF LATITUDE AS A RESULT OF THAT, IN TERMS OF WHAT WE INCLUDE SO WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE IN A BOND PROSPECTUS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: $600,000 FOR THIS AND $800,000 FOR THAT IT WILL BE BROADLY DEFINED AS PROJECTS, AND I WILL SAY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BUT THERE'LL BE BROADLY DEFINED AS SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE GENERAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO, IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE WILL YOU KNOW, I WILL SAY EVERYTHING IS FUNGIBLE BUT, IN LARGE PART THERE IS SOME FUNGIBILITY WITHIN THOSE BROAD CATEGORIES AND THAT'S ONE THINGS THAT WE SPEND A LOT OF NOISE SPEND TIME WITH BOND COUNCIL DISCUSSING TO GIVE US AS MUCH FLEXIBILITY AS WE MAY NEED.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A AND CAROLYN ASKED A SIMILAR QUESTION TO WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK, BUT JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT IN TERMS OF TIMING, IF YOU DO FIND THAT SAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE PROJECTS ARE GETTING PUSHED SAY TO THE END OF 2022 OR CONVERSELY THEY'RE ALL KIND OF ACCELERATING AND BY SOME MIRACLE WE'RE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THE CITY'S MOVING AHEAD WITH WITH SOME OF THESE PROJECTS FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED HOW HOW YOU DETERMINE I GUESS WHEN THE OPTIMUM TIME TO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, TO TO GO OUT TO TO BOND, AND IT WILL IT BE SORT OF BASED ON THE PROJECTS OR WILL IT BE BASED ON ON THE.

[00:50:12]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SORT OF GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF OF HOW MUCH IS IS REQUIRED AND HEY YOU KNOW, INTEREST RATES ARE LOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SIR, I THINK THAT THE THERE'S AN EASY ANSWER AND A HARDER ANSWER THE EASY ANSWER IS, WE HAVE WE HAVE FIVE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS, AS WE SIT HERE TODAY THAT WE CAN SPEND OUT OF THE CAP X RESERVED WITHOUT CONSIDERING EVEN TOUCHING THE GENERAL FUND RESERVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHICH IS ABOUT 4.4 POINT THREE 4.4 MILLION.

JOE FAZZINO COMPTROLLER: YEAH IT'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE CLOSER YEAH ABOUT 4.8 ACTUALLY OPENING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OKAY UM SECONDLY, WE CAN REIMBURSE OURSELVES FROM BOND PROCEED SO WE SAID WE NEED FIVE AND A HALF MILLION, BUT WE ALSO ACTUALLY NEED ANOTHER 2 MILLION, WE CAN BORROW FROM THE GENERAL FUND RESERVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND MAKE A PROVISION WHEN WE SPEND THAT MONEY, THAT IS TO BE REIMBURSED AND BOND PROCEED, WHICH IS WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN 2012.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT'S THE EASY ANSWER IS, WE DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE MARKET UNTIL THAT HAPPENS WITH THAT SAID, WE CAN BE READY WITHIN ABOUT 60 DAYS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ONCE WE GET TO GIN IN ORDER TO BORROW MONEY, SO THIS IS NOT GOING TO IT DOESN'T TAKE SIX MONTHS TO GET TO GET TO THE DEBT MARKETS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT BASICALLY TAKES PLAYING FINANCIALS AN UPDATED DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT AND RATING AGENCY AFFIRMATION, AND THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN 60 DAYS SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: MY VIEW OF THE WORLD IS WE'LL GET READY IN THE SPRING WILL BE READY TO GO IF WE NEED TO BY JUNE, JULY AND THEN IT'S REALLY GOING TO START COMING DOWN TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: HOW ARE THE PROJECTS EVOLVING AND DEVELOPING FROM A COST ESTIMATE STANDPOINT AND THEN, FINALLY, YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE A MARKET CALL THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE SEPARATE BECAUSE WE'RE FEARFUL THAT RATES ARE GOING TO GO UP, BUT WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT MAKES SENSE, THANKS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M SORRY, I THINK THE ANSWER WHICH I KNOW YOU GUYS, HAVE YOU JUST DIDN'T GIVE WAS THAT WE KEEP THE PROJECTS GENERIC ENOUGH WHEN WE GO OUT TO BOND WE SAY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF WE CAN GET IN FIVE SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS IN THE MONEY THAT'S GREAT OR IF WE CAN GET INTO BUT THAT'S HOW.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MOST MUNICIPALITIES AND I'M CERTAIN THAT IS HOW JOE AND GREG INTEND TO MOVE FORWARD SO TO ADD TO.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KIND OF HELP REFOCUS IT BACK TO CAROLYN THIS QUESTION, WE MAKE WE DON'T WE DON'T SAY YOU KNOW TO SALT SHED AT THE DP W WE SAY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE DP W WE HAVE A LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS IF WE CAN'T DO THEM ALL.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE JUST DON'T BUT WE MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GENERIC ENOUGH IN THE BOND DESCRIPTION THAT IT COULD BE USED FOR THAT FUNCTION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREAT JOE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MOORE IS IT IS THERE A FINALE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I'M AFRAID THAT'S ALL THAT WE HAVE FOR TONIGHT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELL, IT WAS IT WAS TERRIFIC AND THANK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ORGANIZING ALL THIS FINDING AWAY THROUGH FOR US AND EXPLAINING IT I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE WORK TO ACTUALLY CONSUMMATE THANK YOU.

FIONA DEGNAN: AND PRIOR TO BEING RAISED WOULD SEND A POWERFUL MESSAGE OF ACCEPTANCE, TO THE RIGHT COMMUNITY ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT SURVEYS 4.5% OF ADULTS IDENTIFY AS PART OF THE LGBT Q PLUS.

FIONA DEGNAN: COMMUNITY THAT IS OVER 700 OF THE ADULTS IN RIGHT, AND I KNOW EVERYONE JUST WANTS TO FEEL WALK.

FIONA DEGNAN: I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANYTHING IN THE CITY LEGISLATURE THAT EXPRESSLY FORBIDS THE RAISING OF FLAGS, BESIDES THE AMERICAN FLAG, AND IT WOULD BE A SYMBOL OF TOLERANCE THAT I THINK ALL CITIZENS WOULD APPRECIATE.

SHAHID MALIK: YEAH HI, THIS IS THE SHOW HAD MALIK I LIVE ON 60 READ ST AND DRY, I JUST WANTED TO CITY COUNCIL TO BE AWARE OF WHAT I BELIEVE IS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ALARMING CONCERN ON PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS.

SHAHID MALIK: SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE OBSERVED, BUT I CERTAINLY OBSERVED THE BIG LARGE LORI'S OR SOMETIMES EVEN TRUCKS PARK ON PURCHASE STREET OR OTHER.

SHAHID MALIK: PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS ITS POTENTIAL THREAT TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY SENIORS OR KIDS WHO WHO WANT TO USE THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AS A SAFE WAY TO CROSS.

SHAHID MALIK: SOMETIMES THE TRUCKS ARE PARK BETWEEN TWO PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SO THAT THERE'S NO WAY ANYONE WANTING TO CROSS CAN SEE WHAT'S COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

SHAHID MALIK: THE SAME THING HAPPENS ON THOSE TWO PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS NEAR THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE CARS COME IN AT A GREAT SPEED ONCE I SAW A YOUNG LADY BE TWO KIDS IN A.

SHAHID MALIK: IN A PUSH SHARE, AND SHE WAS STANDING THERE I STOPPED, BUT FROM THE OTHER SIDE THAT YOU KNOW THE I EVEN HAD TO LOWER MY WINDOW WHEN I PUT MY HAND OUT FOR THE OTHER STAR, BUT THEY JUST DIDN'T STOP IT IS VERY.

SHAHID MALIK: IT IS OF GREAT CONCERN I JUST HOPE THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS, BUT I THINK WE SHOULDN'T WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN AND.

SHAHID MALIK: MY SENSES AND ON MY REQUEST IS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO TALK TO EITHER THE TRAFFIC.

SHAHID MALIK: COUNCIL BODY AND TAKE ADEQUATE STEPS THE SECOND THING IS THAT THE CIRCLE NEAR CITIBANK PEOPLE YOU KNOW THIS BIG GLORIOUS KEEP.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND YONKERS FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS JUST IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COUNTY BUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS WELL.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I TOO WANT TO TELL YOU ETHAN AND FIONA THAT I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A FLAG RAISING FOR JUNE, WHAT I WOULD ASK IS THAT SOMEBODY WRITE A LETTER.

BECK IANNUCCI: IF WE IF I WAS TO DO THAT, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO GET IT ONTO THE AGENDA TO ACTUALLY VOTE ON THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE ARE SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE ON THE POINT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH COUNSEL TO FORMULATE A QUESTIONNAIRE SO IT'S NOT GOING TO INSTANTLY APPEAR ON THE AGENDA, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE DOING IT IN TIME TO HAVE A DECISION IN ADVANCE OF JUNE.

BECK IANNUCCI: OKAY, SO THE FIRST STEP IS THE LETTER AND THEN I GUESS STARTING A PETITION AROUND TOWN TO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YOU YOU DON'T NEED A LETTER OR A PETITION VIEW, WELCOME TO DO BOTH IF YOU WISH.

BECK IANNUCCI: OKAY, GREAT SO, BUT IN ORDER TO GET IT ON TO THE AGENDA.

BECK IANNUCCI: WHAT WILL WE NEED TO DO, BECAUSE I KNOW SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE CAN TAKE A WHILE SO THAT'S WHY I'M I'M JUST WONDERING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WE THAT I DON'T THINK THAT WE NEED LEGAL ADVICE, THIS HAS BEEN VOTED ON BY LEGISLATIVE BODIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING MANY IN OUR OWN COUNTY, SO I THINK WE WOULD PROBABLY DIFFER ON THAT SO JUST YOU CAN SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES AND.

EASON KAMANDER: THE IDEA OF LGBT Q PLUS REPRESENTATION AND VALIDITY IS SOMETHING THAT IMPACTS EVERYONE IN THE SENSE OF ACCEPTING ALL KINDS OF BEHAVIORS.

EASON KAMANDER: SO NOT, NOT JUST FOR US A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND SO I THINK IN THAT WAY.

EASON KAMANDER: YOU KNOW I WOULD HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE ANYBODY IS COERCING THIS, BUT I THINK THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SEPARATES THIS FROM OTHER MORE DIVISIVE.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): IT WAS MANDATED BY GOVERNOR CUOMO EXECUTIVE ORDER TO 03 AND THAT ORDER REQUIRES EACH LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN NEW YORK, WHICH HAS A POLICE FORCE TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC REVIEW.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): OF POLICE QUOTE DEPLOYMENT STRATEGIES, POLICIES PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): AND IDENTIFY WAYS IN WHICH THOSE CAN BE IMPROVED TO BETTER MEET THE SPECIFIC PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS OF THE RELEVANT COMMUNITY IN THIS CASE THE CITY OF RYE AND FOSTER TRUST FAIRNESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEALINGS BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE POLICE.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): OUR COMMITTEE WAS APPOINTED BY MAYOR CONE AND INCLUDED RIGHT CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): REPRESENTATIVES OF THE RIGHT CITY GOVERNMENT, SEVERAL OF WHOM ARE ON THIS MEETING TONIGHT AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): WE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO EDUCATE OURSELVES ABOUT THE WAY THE POLICE IN THE CITY OF RIOT CURRENTLY CARRY OUT THEIR DUTIES AND HOW THEY MIGHT DO SO DIFFERENTLY TO BETTER SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): AS PART OF OUR INFORMATION GATHERING PROCESS, THE COMMITTEE SOLICITED INPUT FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THEIR VIEWS ON THE SUBJECTS COVERED IN THE REVIEW THE PRIMARY SOURCES OF THIS INPUT WERE.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): PUBLIC INTEREST OR I'M SORRY PUBLIC LISTENING SESSIONS HELD VIA ZOOM ON DECEMBER 3 AND JANUARY 7.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): AND A WIDELY PUBLICIZED AND DISTRIBUTED ANONYMOUS SURVEY IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH SPEAKING COMMUNITY VIEWS ABOUT THE POLICE.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): AND THE PUBLIC WAS ALSO ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS ABOUT THE POLICE ANONYMOUSLY, OR OTHERWISE, AND THROUGH A.

[01:20:09]

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): VARIETY OF MEANS, AND I DO JUST WANT TO ADD THAT RICE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): OFFICER CAPUTO AND KIND OF FOX COOPERATED FREELY AND FULLY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): THE WE FORM TO SUBCOMMITTEES THAT SO THE FULL COMMITTEE FORM TO SUBCOMMITTEES TO FACILITATE THE REVIEW OF THE TOPICS THAT WERE.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): COVERED IN IDENTIFIED IN A NEW YORK STATE DOCUMENT ENTITLED RESOURCES AND GUIDES FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND CITIZENS AND IT CONTAINED.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): EIGHT DIFFERENT SECTIONS, SO WE BROKE, OUR COMMITTEE INTO TWO SUBCOMMITTEES AND THEN EACH OF THOSE SUBCOMMITTEES ASSIGNED A SPECIFIC SUBSECTION TO A TEAM OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE, SO, IN A SENSE, MEMBERS OF EACH SUBCOMMITTEE BECAME.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): I.

THANK YOU.

G DEMPSEY: IS IT, WITH THE EMPHASIS ON THE ON THE CANING PUBLIC INPUT INTO THE PROCESS.

G DEMPSEY: ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS, WAS THE SURVEY THAT LISA'S ALREADY MENTIONED, WE WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE AS PART OF THE COMMITTEE.

G DEMPSEY: SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS ON CONSTRUCTING AND INTERPRETING SURVEYS.

G DEMPSEY: SO WE THINK WE DID A REASONABLY GOOD JOB OF CREATING A SET OF QUESTIONS WHICH WELL NOT.

G DEMPSEY: YOU KNOW, ALLOWING US TO DO A SYSTEMATIC AND YOU KNOW SCHOLARLY REVIEW LEVEL OF ANALYSIS OF DATA.

G DEMPSEY: DID HAVE VALIDITY IN TERMS OF COLLECTING.

G DEMPSEY: THE REACTIONS FOR EVERYONE AND FAVORABLE OF THE PUBLIC TO THE TOPICS THAT WE ARE AWARE AND DISCUSSION AND UNDER THE MANDATE OF THE COMMITTEE.

G DEMPSEY: THE WE EVEN BROUGHT IN EXTERNAL EXPERTS TO REVIEW THE AND ANALYZE THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY AND BOTH TO MAINTAIN THE ANONYMITY OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE RECEIVED AS PART OF THE THE SURVEY MATERIAL AND ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD A YOU KNOW, AN EVEN HAND, LOOKING AT THE AT THE DATA.

G DEMPSEY: ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE PUBLIC REVIEW OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS IS AFTER THE COMMITTEE CREATED STRAPS THAT ARE RECOMMENDATIONS.

G DEMPSEY: WE PUT THEM OUT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND WE HAD ANOTHER LISTENING SESSION JUST WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, TAKE ON BOARD COMMENTS ABOUT THE ACTUAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE COMMITTEE HAD ARRIVED AT IN DRAFT FORM AND WE FURTHER OBTAIN SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS VIA EMAILS AND.

G DEMPSEY: TO THE TO THE GENERAL DISTRIBUTION MAILBOX THAT WE'D SET UP PREVIOUSLY FOR THAT PURPOSE.

G DEMPSEY: SO ON ALL WE WE THINK WE DID A REASONABLE JOB COLLECTING PUBLIC MATERIAL, IN ADDITION TO THE WORK DONE BY THIS SPECIFIC MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.

G DEMPSEY: YOU KNOW THE KEY SUMMARY POINT OF ALL THIS WAS THAT.

G DEMPSEY: THAT THERE WAS A CONSENSUS ON THE COMMITTEE THAT THE.

G DEMPSEY: PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS OF THE CITY OF RYE, ARE BEING MET WITH EXCELLENTLY MET BY THE RISE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THAT THERE'S CURRENTLY A HIGH DEGREE OF TRUST.

G DEMPSEY: FAIRNESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE DEALINGS BETWEEN RICE CITY POLICE AND THE COMMUNITY.

G DEMPSEY: THAT BEING SAID, THOUGH, WE COMPLETED THEIR WORSE SOME POTENTIAL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT AND THAT'S THE BASIS OF THE 18 RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH WERE IN YOUR PACKET OF MATERIALS FOR THIS MEETING.

G DEMPSEY: I REALIZED WHEN I LOOKED AT THE.

G DEMPSEY: CITY COUNCIL MAKEUP THAT WE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FAIR NUMBER OF.

G DEMPSEY: PEOPLE WHO ALREADY VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE, BECAUSE WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE THE SERVICES OF JOSH GREG CAROLINA AND BEN AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN OUR DELIBERATIONS.

G DEMPSEY: I'M NOT SURE IT MAKES ANY SENSE TO GO THROUGH THE ACTUAL RECOMMENDATIONS, BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THEM.

[01:25:04]

G DEMPSEY: BUT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE DIRECTLY TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO OPEN THE HEARING ON PUBLIC HEARING ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS PUT FORWARD BY THEIR RICE CITY POLICE REVIEW COMMITTEE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR AYE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AYE AYE.

KRISTEN WILSON: IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, IF YOU COULD PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

KRISTEN WILSON: MR MAYOR, NO ONE HAS RAISED THEIR HAND RIGHT NOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY DID ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANSWERED.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: I HAVE A QUESTION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GO AHEAD.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: ON THE RECOMMEND RECOMMENDATION NUMBER 13.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: IT STARTS OUT WITH THE RICE CITY COUNCIL SHOW CREATE A COMMUNITY POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: AT THE VERY END, IT SAYS THIS COMMITTEE WILL NOT BE AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: UNDER SMALL I START SET THIS COMMITTEE WILL BE MONITORING IMPLEMENTATION BY THEIR ICT POLICE DEPARTMENT, SO HOW CAN AN ADVISORY OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE BE MONITORING IT SEEMS LIKE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: MISUSE OF WORD SNARE OR AM I MISUNDERSTANDING, THE INTENT IF AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS MONITORING AND IT'S NOT REALLY ADVISOR.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: OR AM I READING THAT WRONG.

G DEMPSEY: I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE'S NO CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE TWO TERMS AND ADVISORY GROUP CAN MONITOR JUST AS WELL AS IT CAN, AS WE WERE SAYING IT DOESN'T HAVE OVERSIGHT.

G DEMPSEY: IT CANNOT TAKE ACTION IF IT BELIEVES THAT THERE HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW IMPROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS RECOMMENDATION TO IN FACT IT'S NOT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE IT'S THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OF THE CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED COMMITTEE.

G DEMPSEY: BEING UP FOR ADOPTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

G DEMPSEY: OUR VIEW WAS THAT THERE'S AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE CREATED, WHICH WOULD HAVE THE SAME FORM AND FUNCTION AS OTHER ADVISORY COMMITTEES, OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY CURRENTLY IN RYE.

G DEMPSEY: BUT PERHAPS BECAUSE THE CURRENT COMMITTEE WILL NOT BE THERE IN FORM OF THEY MIGHT BE THERE IN SPIRIT, WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE ANOTHER CIVILIAN GROUP.

G DEMPSEY: MAKING LOOKING LOOKING OUT TO SEE WHETHER THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE IN FACT BEEN CARRIED OUT IN A WAY THAT'S LOOK SATISFACTORY OR NOT THAT'S NOT OVERSIGHT THAT'S JUST MONITORING.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: OKAY, EXCEPT LET'S PUNISH THANK YOU.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH WE BELABORED OVER REVIEW VERSUS MONITOR WE WENT DEEP INTO THE DEFINITION FOR EACH TERM, AND SO WE TRY TO HAVE, THE MORE YOU KNOW THE EASIER TERM.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: AGAIN.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): IT IS, IN FACT, THE REASON WHY WE ADDED THAT ONE SENTENCE ABOUT IT, NOT BEING AN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MAKE THAT PAINFULLY CLEAR.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: REALLY LIKE A LOT OF THESE SUGGESTIONS, BECAUSE IT'S JUST IT'S IT'S SO COMMUNITY MINDED RIGHT AND CREATING THAT CONNECTION, I MEAN I I PARTICULARLY LOVE IN THAT SAME 13 ROMAN AT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FIVE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, CONSIDERING WAYS OF GETTING THE POLICE OFFICERS MORE ACTIVE IN COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES, EVEN IF THAT'S ON A FEE BASIS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT AND TRUTHFULLY WE SEE A LOT OF IT RIGHT, I AM PLEASED TO SEE OFTEN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: POLICE PLAY PAY PLAYING A ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY IN A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT BEING VERY EXPLICIT ABOUT CALLING THAT OUT, I THINK IS GOOD.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THESE ARE REALLY GOOD VERY THOUGHTFUL.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): YOU KNOW, IN THAT PARTICULAR POINT WE WE DID TALK ABOUT HOW WE OFTEN SEE OUR OFFICERS ON THE STREET OR PURCHASE STRAIGHT DURING THINGS LIKE MISTLETOE MAGIC OR WHATEVER, BUT THEY'RE OFTEN IN A WORK CAPACITY THERE RIGHT, SO WE WANTED TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE.

LISA DOMINICI (SHE, HER, HERS): THEY COULD FEEL YOU KNOW PART OF THE COMMUNITY AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT NECESSARILY JUST AS THEIR JOB.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: ONE MORE QUESTION.

[01:30:03]

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OF THE HEAD RICH.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: ITEM NUMBER 14 TALKS ABOUT MAKING PUBLIC THE MULTI YEAR SUMMARY DATA COLLECTED.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: REGARDING COMPLAINTS AGAINST OFFICERS IN THEIR OUTCOMES, AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL DATA PERMITTED OR REQUIRED BY FUTURE NEW YORK STATE LAW REGULATIONS AND ROMAN NUMERAL FOUR SEEMS TO REPEAT THAT SAME ISSUE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: AND MYSELF I'M I'M A MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEE WORK FOR CITY WHITE PLAINS AND.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: YOU KNOW I I BELIEVE IN, I ACTUALLY CARRY A BADGE OF A PEACE OFFICER AS A BUILDING OFFICIAL IN THAT CITY, BUT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: AND, AS I READ THIS I I'M WONDERING, ARE WE SINGLING OUT POLICE OFFICERS FOR HIGHER LEVEL OF SCRUTINY, FOR EXAMPLE, OUR TEACHERS REQUIRED TO MAKE PUBLIC ANY DATA COLLECTED ABOUT COMPLAINTS.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: AGAINST TEACHERS OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMITTEE DISCUSS BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE OF ALL OF US IN THE PUBLIC GROUND WE ARE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: THIS BABY DISCUSS IT AND LET ME.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KNOW I'LL TAKE THAT ON.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'LL TAKE THAT ON RICH IN WE WE WANTED TO RAISE THAT BECAUSE I'D HAVE OVER 22,000 CALLS ARE POLICE OFFICERS TAKE A YEAR TO 22,000 RESPONSES THERE'S A HANDFUL A HANDFUL OF COMPLAINTS AND WE WANT IT, THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT THERE'S REALLY VERY FEW COMPLAINTS.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: OR SO.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE KNEW.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: SO, SO THIS WOULD WORK AT THE OPPOSITE EFFECT IT WOULD BE A PUBLIC RELATIONS WINDFALL THAT, CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF INTERACTIONS THAT WE HAVE SUCH FEW COMPLAINTS THAT'S A GOOD SPIN OKAY, I THINK IT'S BEEN AN HOUR THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION I'M DONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, SO MAY HAVE EMOTION, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
