JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HEY TONY.

HEY TONY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HOW ARE YOU.

TONY COASH: DOING ARE YOU THANKS FOR JOINING THE MEETING.

TONY COASH: SO ESSENTIALLY DURING THE WEEKS OF STARTING AROUND APRIL 12 THROUGH THE 24TH THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE CHAMBER WENT AND SPOKE WITH OVER 60 BUSINESSES AND RIGHT IN DOWNTOWN LA.

TONY COASH: AND WE, AS IN MY OUR LETTER EXPLAINS, WE TALKED TO THEM ABOUT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT.

TONY COASH: WE COULD EXPLORE, TO SEE IF WE COULD.

TONY COASH: HELP BUSINESS DOWNTOWN THE OPTIONS ARE LISTED ON THE MEMO THERE ARE RESULTS SHOWED THAT TWO THIRDS OF THE BUSINESS DID SUPPORT SOME SORT OF A CLOSURE THIS THIS YEAR.

TONY COASH: THIS WAS ALL BEFORE THE MAY 3 ANNOUNCEMENT ON GOVERNOR CUOMO STARTING TO EASE ALL MOST OF THE RESTRICTIONS IMPACTING BUSINESS, HOWEVER, WE.

TONY COASH: IN THINKING ABOUT IT, WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT 100% CAPACITY IN A RESTAURANT WAS SIX FEET SPACING IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE SO.

TONY COASH: THE EXECUTIVE BOARD AND MET WITH.

TONY COASH: GREG OSPREY WITH CHRISTIAN MILLER, WITH RYAN DOYLE OF THE PW JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT THESE THREE DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES COULD BE, AND ARE THEY POSSIBLE.

TONY COASH: WE'VE ELIMINATED THE ONE WAY SITUATION AND WE'VE WE'VE PRETTY MUCH THINK THAT A FULL CLOSURE THIS YEAR IS NOT WARRANTED.

TONY COASH: FOR IT FOR A LONG AMOUNT OF TIME.

TONY COASH: WE DO HAVE EVER HAVE OUR SIDEWALK SALE COMING UP, AND IF THE CITY, WOULD WE WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO HAVE A TWO WEEK CLOSURE.

TONY COASH: STARTING AT THE.

TONY COASH: THE 25TH OF JULY.

TONY COASH: AND AGAIN, THE DATES CAN BE FIGURED OUT AND IF THAT'S IF THAT'S POSSIBLE THAT'D BE GREAT.

TONY COASH: WE'RE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT WE CREATE SEATING IN PARKING SPOTS WITH CONCRETE BARRIERS SO THAT THE RESTAURANTS CAN STILL PUT OUT A COUPLE TABLES OUT ON OUT ON THE ON THE STREET, IF YOU WILL.

TONY COASH: WE WOULD LIKE IF IT'S IF IT'S AT ALL POSSIBLE WE'D LIKE THE CLOSURE OF SECOND STREET.

TONY COASH: AND THAT TIME TO BE DETERMINED WOULD BE.

TONY COASH: OBVIOUSLY, AN OPTION FOR YOU, FOR EVERYONE RAFI LE CURRENTLY IS USING A TENT ON THREE SPOTS IN THE BACK IN CAR PARK THREE AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN, IF YOU WOULD ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE THAT.

TONY COASH: AND IN THE IN THE CASE THAT WE DO CLOSE OFF PURCHASE STREET WE DID ASK IF.

TONY COASH: I'M NOT SURE WITH CHAMBERS NOT SURE WHO POLICE'S THE TRAIN STATION PARKING BUT IF IT'S POSSIBLE COULD WE PARK HAVE EXCESS PARKING THERE DURING THE SIDEWALK SALE.

TONY COASH: SO IT'S AGAIN IT'S NOT OUR RECOMMENDATION TO YOU KNOW EXTEND THE PURCHASE TREE PLAZA CLOSURE BEYOND THAT TWO WEEK TIME FRAME AND WE'VE.

TONY COASH: THE WHOLE BOARD HAS PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS ALLOW THOUGHT WE'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF BUSINESSES, AND WE APPRECIATE APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S FEEDBACK AND WE REALLY HOPE AND STRIVE FOR MAKING RIGHT BUSINESS THRIVE, AS ALL OF YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU, I THINK PEOPLE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MAY HAVE QUESTIONS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I HAVE ONE, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING THAT TWO THIRDS OF THE.

[00:10:06]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OUR PRESENT PANDEMIC SITUATION DIMINISHING WE HAVE IS THERE, I.

TONY COASH: I HAVE, I HAVE A STRONG SENSE THAT PEOPLE ARE REFERRING TO HOW IT WAS LAST YEAR.

TONY COASH: AND IT WOULD BE A WHOLE DIFFERENT VIBE THAN WHAT IT WOULD BE WITH PEOPLE SITTING IN PARKING SPOTS, YOU KNOW PERSONALLY I JUST DON'T FIND THAT ATTRACTIVE.

TONY COASH: BUT YOU KNOW I'M NOT TALKING FOR FOR MYSELF I'M TRYING TO TALK FOR THE CHAMBER HERE.

TONY COASH: BUT OUR POLICY IS THAT TWO THIRDS OF THE MEMBERS.

TONY COASH: WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CLOSURE IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I'M HAVING A HARD TIME RECONCILING THIS TONY AND I THINK YOU ARE TO PROBABLY IS, YOU HAVE TO THERE'S SOME MERCHANTS WHO WHO SUPPORT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SUPPORT IT, AND YET THE RECOMMENDATION DOESN'T MATCH SORT OF THE UNDERLYING DATA.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I KNOW THAT SOME THINGS, KATE SOME RULES CHANGED AFTERWARDS, WITH OPEN CLOSURE, BUT I THINK THERE WAS ALSO THE UNDERSTANDING THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN GO BACK TO 100% YOU STILL HAVE TO ADHERE TO SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES WITHIN A RESTAURANT SO THAT MEANS YOU'RE NOT AT 100% YOU'RE PROBABLY STILL AT YOUR.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SUB 70% AT LEAST RIGHT, SO I JUST I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A RECOMMENDATION THAT DOESN'T MATCH THE DATA AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT.

TONY COASH: I'M IN THE SAME BOAT.

TONY COASH: AS WE AS A BOARD RIGHT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TAXES ABOARD JUST LIKE YOU DO, THE VOTE WAS YOU KNOW OVERWHELMINGLY TO GO THIS ROUTE.

TONY COASH: NOT EVERYONE VOTED THAT WHERE IT'S, ALL I CAN SAY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I GUESS I I'M SORT OF THINKING ABOUT AND THE THE ONE THIRD, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY BUSINESSES, THAT IS, BUT I GUESS I DON'T SORT OF SEE IT IN A BLACK AND WHITE SITUATION I SEE IT AS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE, THERE IS THERE'S STILL QUITE A FEW WHO DO NOT WANT IT AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BY DO NOT WANT IT PERHAPS THEY WANT A DIFFERENT ITERATION PERHAPS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE WAY I SEE IT, IS IS IF WE COULD GET TO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A MUCH HIGHER PROPORTION OF MERCHANTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS WHO DO WANT IT, OR DO YOU WANT SOME KIND OF PEDESTRIAN PLAZA SETUP.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S THE GOAL, BECAUSE THE MORE OUR BUSINESSES ARE THRIVING, THE MORE WE ACTUALLY GET PEOPLE TO COME DOWNTOWN TO SHOP AND TO GO TO BIZ YOU KNOW, TO GO TO THE BUSINESSES AND WHATEVER THE CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT WITH THE OPENING OF OF LIFE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU'RE GOING TO GET MORE PEOPLE COMING DOWNTOWN AND WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO THAT AGE OLD PARKING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SITUATION, SO YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO KEEP AS MUCH.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PARKING OPEN AS POSSIBLE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR YOU KNOW FOR DINERS AND CHOPPERS AND.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER SIDE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT IS, YOU KNOW HOW DO WE RECONCILE AN INCREASED NUMBER COMING INTO TOWN WITH PARKING THAT MAY BE COMPRESSED IF WE HAVE YOU KNOW THE ISSUE WITH.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CLOSING DOWN SOME OF THE STREETS AREA AND ALSO GETTING RID OF SOME OF THE PARKING BUT TO GET BACK TO IT, THE ONE THIRD, YOU KNOW THAT IS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT STILL STICKS IN MY MIND AS AS AS BUSINESS OWNERS AND SHOP OWNERS WHO ARE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SUFFERING AND WHO ARE SEEING THIS AS AS SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HURT THEIR BUSINESS, SO YOU KNOW I GUESS I WOULD WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'RE NOT MAKING DECISION TONIGHT, BUT I WOULD WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM, TO SEE WHAT IT IS SPECIFICALLY IS THE PROBLEM, AND WHAT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE IMPROVE IT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, MAYBE FOR GREG IN TERMS OF HOW LOGISTICS AND THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED THERE'S.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PEOPLE THROW OUT ALL KINDS OF IDEAS RIGHT OH, WHY DON'T WE JUST CLOSE AT 530 OR FIVE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT, WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR CITY STAFF.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR OVERTIME, THEN THEY SAY OH WELL JUST HAVE THE POLICE CLOSE THE STREETS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO BE IS THAT DOABLE, WHAT ARE THE CONSTRAINTS THAT THE CITY HAS IN IMPLEMENTING, SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE MORE FLEXIBLE, WHICH EVERYBODY THINKS THAT.

[00:15:16]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OR WELL AS A STARTING POINT, I LET ME SAY THIS CITY STAFF WILL EXECUTE WHATEVER THE COUNCIL DECIDES THE APPROACHES THAT YOU WANT TO BE THERE'S NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED THAT WE WOULD SAY WE CAN'T DO THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT CAROLINA TO YOUR POINT, ALL OF THIS IS GOING TO BE IS A TRADE OFF.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IF IF THE CITY WANTS IF THE COUNCIL WANTS AND THE COMMUNITY WANTS US TO DO A CLOSURE ONLY AT NIGHT BETWEEN THE HOURS OF FIVE AND 10, FOR EXAMPLE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEN THAT OPERATION WOULD NEED TO START EARLIER IN THE DAY, WHERE WE CLOSE PARKING OFF DOWNTOWN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREET, IT WILL THEN REQUIRE US TO BRING IN TOWING SERVICES OR ESCORTS TO GET PEOPLE WHO WERE LATE IN THAT PROCESS OFF OF THE STREET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEN WE WILL PUT UP EITHER PLANTERS THAT WILL REMOVE EACH NIGHT OR BARRICADES OR WILL JUST PULL IN TRUCKS AND TO BLOCK OFF THE STREETS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT THEN REQUIRES AT 10 O'CLOCK OR 11 O'CLOCK OR FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING STAFF TO COME BACK IN TO TAKE ALL OF THAT, BACK THEN, AND THAT'S WHETHER THAT'S DONE A NIGHTLY WHETHER THAT'S DONE FOUR DAYS A WEEK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AS I SAID, WE CAN PULL ALL THIS OFF IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DETERMINE A PLAN THAT MAKES SENSE, OR THAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO PUT SOME COST ESTIMATES TO IT, BECAUSE TO YOUR POINT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW EACH STEP I JUST EXPLAINED, MEANS THAT EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NORMALLY NOT WORKING DURING THOSE HOURS ARE BROUGHT IN TO DO THAT WORK WHICH EITHER MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING TO TRADE OTHER SERVICES OR WE'RE GOING TO SPEND YOU KNOW MORE MONEY FOR THAT YOU KNOW, FOR THAT PLAN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WAS FINE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE RESTAURANTS HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY CAN'T DO SET UP EACH EVENING AND TAKE DOWN AND DON'T HAVE PLACES TO STORE THE EQUIPMENT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO I I MEAN I.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I THINK IT'S IT'S GOOD TO HAVE ALL THIS OUT THERE AND EXPLAINED, BUT I DON'T THINK IF IT'S VIABLE FROM THE RESTAURANT PERSPECTIVE, EVEN IF THE CITY COULD FOOT THE BILL AND LET'S THROW THE POLICE PRESENCE IN AS WELL, THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO DO TO ACCOMPLISH THIS EVENING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I JUST HAD A QUESTION I DON'T THINK IT'S POSSIBLE OF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GOD, I HAD A QUESTION I JUST.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, AND TO YOUR POINT GREG THAT THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE A EXPENSIVE AND LABORIOUS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EXERCISE I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE THAT'S NOT AS, AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW PURELY DISCUSSION BASED I KNOW WELL, FOR EXAMPLE, MISTLETOE MAGIC YOU KNOW WE SHUT DOWN THE STREETS I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT'S DONE THERE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THERE ARE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, IF WE LOOK AT BEST PRACTICES THAT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY SHUT DOWN THE STREETS SORT OF LIKE A MISTLETOE MAGIC SETUP FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS IN THE EVENINGS SO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GARDEN I THINK IT'S GARDEN CITY WHAT THEY DO IS THEY, THEY JUST SHUT DOWN BOTH ENDS OF THE STREET AND IT'S ON A FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THREE HOURS AND THE SHOPS STAY OPEN WHO WANT THAT WANT TO STAY OPEN, BUT THE RESTAURANTS, YOU KNOW, CAN HAVE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THIS THIS ABILITY TO SPILL OUT INTO THE STREETS AND PEOPLE CAN COME AND THERE CAN BE EVENTS AND BANDS AND ALL THIS SORT OF STUFF SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S A WAY TO LOOK AT AT SOME OF THE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE DONE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PEDESTRIAN TYPE ARRANGEMENTS AND I THROW OUT, THAT IS JUST ONE IDEA, BUT YOU KNOW THERE, THERE ARE OTHER CONFIGURATIONS THAT PERHAPS WOULD BE POSSIBLE, THAT WOULD NOT BE AS LABORIOUS AS, AS YOU KNOW, DRAGGING IN JERSEY BARRIERS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WELL, AND SO MY I GUESS MY POINT WITH THE BARRIERS WASN'T ABOUT DRAGON IN JERSEY BARRIERS BUT IT'S MORE ABOUT WE CAN WE CAN ABSOLUTELY PULL UP A.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: POLICE CAR OR A GARBAGE TRUCK OR WHATEVER IT IS A BLOCK OFF THE STREET I'M JUST IT'S.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE THE EXPANSION OF THAT IS NOT JUST DRIVING THE TRUCK UP AND MARKETED, IT IS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT 65 CARS THAT ARE ON THE STREET EVERY AFTERNOON THAT WE NEED TO GET OFF THE STREET IN ORDER TO SHUT IT DOWN.

[00:20:03]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: EVEN YET, EVEN WHEN WE POST SOMETHING AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE WHEN WE SHUT DOWN PURCHASE RATE LAST SUMMER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A TWO CARS DROVE IN BETWEEN THE BARRICADES WHILE WE WERE SETTING UP PARKED IN FRONT OF STARBUCKS AND STAYED FOR THREE HOURS, IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT WE WERE LITERALLY LIKE MOVING YOU KNOW MACHINERY.

SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YEAH.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I I TOTALLY HEAR YOU ON THAT I'M JUST WONDERING LIKE SO SO, FOR EXAMPLE, GARDEN CITY WHICH DOES YOU KNOW THEY THEY BRING IN I THINK IT'S EMERGENCY VEHICLES OR SOME KIND OF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, FOR THREE HOURS THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS, SO MAYBE YOU KNOW, A CONVERSATION WITH THE YOU KNOW, WHOEVER THE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M ASSUMING A CITY MANAGER THERE, YOU KNOW HOW DO YOU GET THE CARS OFF THE STREET, HOW DO YOU DO THAT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S IT MIGHT BE WORTH EXPLORING JUST TO SEE IF THAT'S VIABLE AND MAYBE IT'S NOT BIBLE, AND WE SAY NOPE YOU KNOW SCRATCH THAT OFF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR I KNOW JUST A PRINCETON NEW JERSEY, THEY HAVE THE BUMP OUTS AND THEY HAVE THE ONE WAY TRAFFIC I KNOW WE CAN'T DO DIAGONAL BUT THE SIDE STREETS THEY DO HAVE THE RESTAURANT BUMP OUTS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEY DO HAVE TRAFFIC AND ON STREET PARKING SO YOU KNOW THAT'S ANOTHER THING PICK UP THE PHONE AND AND JUST SEE HOW HOW THEY'VE MANAGED TO DO IT WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE DIAGONAL PARKING I'M JUST I'M JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE IS SOME SOME.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THOUGHTS THAT PERHAPS YOU KNOW SEE WHAT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES HAVE DONE AND AND WHETHER WHETHER IT WOULD WORK HERE, PERHAPS IT WOULDN'T BUT UM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH I MEAN, I THINK WE, YOU KNOW I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF OUTREACH AND LOOKING AT WHAT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND HAVE DONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS WELL AND, AND I THINK THAT'S RIGHT, I THINK WE ALWAYS WANT TO YOU KNOW NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL AND SEE IF WE CAN FIND BETTER SOLUTIONS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OUT THERE, I GUESS, I DO GO BACK TO THE FEEDBACK FROM THE RESTAURANTS THOSE THING THAT EVEN IF CITY COULD HANDLE IT WE CAN'T WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFF, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE PLACE TO STORE THIS STUFF IF WE'RE GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUYING EQUIPMENT THAT LIVES OUTSIDE YOU KNOW, AND ALL OF THAT, SO IT SEEMED IN IN THE FEEDBACK I GOT THROUGH THE CHAMBER AND THROUGH THE THE RESTAURANT GROUP THERE THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM IT, BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE THE STAFF TO BE ABLE TO PUT STUFF OUT ON A NIGHTLY BASIS, NOR DO THEY HAVE STORAGE, EVEN IF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IT FROM A WEEKEND STANDPOINT LIKE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THAT WAS A PROBLEM TOO, SO I THINK YOU KNOW WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR BETTER IDEAS FOR SURE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TOTALLY FINE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S TWO THERE'S TWO SIDES TO IT IT'S LIKE CAN THE RESTAURANTS ACTUALLY DO IT AND THE MERCHANTS WHO WANT TO PARTAKE AND THEN CAN THE CITY DO IT, AND I THINK IT WAS BECAME TO LOGISTICALLY CHALLENGING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, FOR THAT ANY VIABLE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EXACTLY AND THAT'S A QUESTION THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, GARDEN CITY WHAT IS, WHAT DO YOUR RESTAURANTS, DO YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS SUCCESSFULLY FOR MANY YEARS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW HOW HOW LOGISTICALLY DO YOUR RESTAURANTS HANDLE YOU KNOW THE EQUIPMENT AND IS IT YOU KNOW, IS IT SOMETHING AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS YOU KNOW IF IF IF IT'S POSSIBLE IF IT'S DOABLE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW IT'S WORTH EXPLORING, PARTICULARLY SINCE YOU KNOW IT, IT COULD IT COULD BE A WAY TO CAPTURE THAT HAPPY MEDIUM OF HAVING THE STREETS OPEN DURING THE DAY AND AND CAPTURING EXTRA DINERS AT NIGHT UM.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S I THINK IT'S A GREAT CONVERSATION I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT IT'S IT'S ALSO NOT WHAT THE CHAMBER RECOMMENDATION IS.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO YOU KNOW, I THINK.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW I ACTUALLY PERSONALLY JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYBODY HAD LIKE SKETCHED OUT OF THE BUMP OUT CONCEPT I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY IS THERE IS THERE AN EXAMPLE OF THAT ALREADY THAT THAT WE SEE IN THE CITY OR IS THIS SOMETHING NEW AND A BIT DIFFERENTLY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NOW IT'S IT IS, IT IS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE CITY AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY SKETCHED OUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS OR MEETINGS THAT WE HAD WITH THE CHAMBER, WE WENT THROUGH A COUPLE DIFFERENT REASONS, ONE WAS A IT'S AN EXPANSION ON THE SIDEWALK STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE AT AURORA.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW THE THE CHALLENGE AND I THINK I SHARED THIS WITH MOST OF YOU LAST WEEK IS THAT YOU KNOW GIVEN LUMBER COST IN THE LIGHT WE'RE LOOKING AT FIVE TO $15,000 FOR A RESTAURANT TO DO THAT STRUCTURE, AND YOU KNOW IT'S IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE CHAMBER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THOUGHT THAT THAT THE RESTAURANTS, WERE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE EXPENSE, THE CHAMBER WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THAT WHICH IS WHY WE WENT TO THE BUMP OUT REVIEW, TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, WE HAVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: APPROXIMATELY 25 RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN AND ALL MY NOTES, HERE WE HAVE 25 RESTAURANTS DOWNTOWN LOGISTICALLY THE PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANTS, BECAUSE OF A COMBINATION OF CROSSWALKS BUMP OUTS SIDE STREETS IN THE LIGHT.

[00:25:13]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SOME DO NOT BENEFIT AT ALL LIKE WE'RE FAMILY WHERE YOU HAVE A BUMP OUT WHERE YOU DON'T ACTUALLY GET A PARKING SPACE THAT'S USABLE IN FRONT OF REPELLING, SO THERE ARE OF THE 25.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SORRY, OF THE 30 RESTAURANTS THERE'S A HANDFUL THAT DON'T BENEFIT AT ALL AND A HANDFUL THE BENEFIT RIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU ALSO HAVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO I GUESS THAT'S THE STARTING POINT, WE WOULD WE CAN EASILY CREATE A BUMP OUT FOR ALL OF THOSE RECIPES FOR THOSE RESTAURANTS, WHO ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY OR PRACTICALLY POSSIBLE THAT'S THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM IT'S IT IS APPROXIMATELY 100 BLOCKS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: 90 TO 100 OF THOSE BLOCKS IN ORDER TO SET THAT UP.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE CITY CAN DO IT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL, AND ALL WE WOULD END UP DOING IF THAT WAS THE PLAN WOULD BE A NORMAL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OUTDOOR PERMIT FOR SPACE UP AGAINST THE BUILDING THE WAY THAT THEY ALWAYS DO A FIVE FOOT PATH ON THE SIDEWALK AND THEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SET UP WHATEVER NUMBER OF TABLES WOULD FIT IN THE REQUISITE SPOTS IN FRONT OF THEM.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE I GUESS IS WHAT I'M DRIVING OR THEY PLAY CARS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ARE KIND OF THINGS ARE GOING WELL, IT SO, AT LEAST IN THE CITY, AND I SAY IN THE CITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEY THE THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS CITY REQUIREMENTS, BUT THAT, ULTIMATELY, THE SETUP IS AND THE AESTHETICS, IN PARTICULAR, IS SOLELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESTAURANT SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD HAVE AND I'LL ALSO ADD YOU'RE NOT SEEING THESE ON COLUMBUS AVENUE AS MUCH YOU'RE SEEING THEM ON THE SIDE STREETS AND DOWNTOWN WHICH ARE LESS PRETTY COOL AND TRAVEL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO MY POINT IS, IS THAT WE CAN MAKE A SAFETY ACCOMMODATION FOR THE RESTAURANTS FROM THE BLOCKS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT IS GOING TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RESTAURANTS, TO DO AND THE CHAMBER, WHOEVER CHOOSES, BUT TO DO THE AESTHETIC SETUP WHICH, IN THE CASE OF THE RESTAURANTS IN THE CITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW OUR STANCHIONS AND COVERS AND SIDEWALLS IN THE LIGHT, BUT THOSE ARE ALL ALL OF THE REQUIRED, YOU KNOW SAFETY CONFINEMENTS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S A GOOD POINT BECAUSE SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE AESTHETICS, OF THE PLAZA BUT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF YOU GO IN NEW YORK CITY AND I GO ALL THE TIME IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SHOPKEEPERS OR THE RESTAURANTS TO BEAUTIFY THEIR OWN SPACE AND IT'S JUST THE RESPONSIBILITY OF AS A CITY TO PROVIDE WITH THE SAFETY MEASURES.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: UM.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION HOW MANY SPACES, IF WE DO THE BUMP OUT HOW MANY SPACES, DO WE LOSE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO YOU WOULD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND RYAN, MAYBE IT WILL CORRECT ME LATER ON, THERE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 8283 PARKING SPACES DOWNTOWN IF EVERY QUALIFIED RESTAURANT FOR EVERY SPACE TOOK THAT REQUISITE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AREA, WE WOULD LOSE 30 SPOTS OF THE OF THE OF THE LOW 80S.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT AGAIN, YOU WOULD HAVE LIKE THE SECTION WHERE VILLAGE SOCIAL IS AND AURORA YOU KNOW LOSING MORE SPACES THAN YOU WOULD HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE IN FRONT, YOU KNOW YOU DON'T LOSE A SPACE IN FRONT OF HER PHILLIES BECAUSE THERE ISN'T.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME RESTAURANTS, LIKE COCOA THAT DON'T HAVE ANY ALSO DON'T HAVE ANY SPACES, EITHER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BILL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: A QUESTION FOR TONY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: TO THE RESTAURANTS UNDERSTAND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BUMP ELSE MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE TO SOME OF THEM, THAT IS THERE GENERAL RESTAURANTS, SUPPORT FOR THE BUMP THE BUMP OUT IDEA.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND IS THE IS THE PRESUMPTION THAT EVERYBODY WILL GET A BUMP OUT.

TONY COASH: WE WENT AND LOOKED PHYSICALLY AT EACH OF THE SPOTS IN FRONT OF EACH RESTAURANT AND CECILY POINTED OUT WHERE THESE BLOCKS SHOULD BE PLACED SO THEY ARE.

TONY COASH: THEY'RE GRATEFUL THAT THEY THEY CAN ADD A COUPLE MORE TABLES AND.

TONY COASH: AND YES, THERE IS COMPLETE BUY IN ON THOSE RESTAURANTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BUT BY AND ON THE PART OF THE RESTAURANTS THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MAY NOT HAVE A BUMP OUT POSSIBILITY LIKE SAY OKA.

TONY COASH: WELL THEY'D LIKE SOME MORE SPACE THAT THAT IS REALLY THE ONLY OPTION FOR THEM UNLESS THEY WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING BACK IN THE IN THE BACK PARKING LOT OF THE DRIVEWAY THAT'S BEHIND THE BUILDING.

[00:30:06]

TONY COASH: HAS BARELY HAD TIME TO COMMUNICATE WITH WITH US.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN THE SEAT, JUST TO CONFIRM THAT THERE STILL IS SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS INDOORS FOR RESTAURANTS, IS THAT FOR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A FUNNY I JUST I JUST CONFIRMED RESTED ON THIS, I BELIEVE, SARAH THAT AS OF JUNE ONE AND KRISTEN YOU CAN WEIGH IN HERE, I BELIEVE, AS OF JUNE ONE IT'S 100% CAPACITY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO 100% CAPACITY KNOW SIX FEET.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT NOW.

KRISTEN WILSON: THOSE THING, NO MATTER.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH OKAY, SO NO SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIRED AS A JUNE ONE OH WELL, THAT THAT THAT'S A BIG PIECE OF INFORMATION I WOULD THINK, BECAUSE THEN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, THEN WE'RE BACK TO PRE PANDEMIC.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW SITUATION, SO WE DO NEED TO SORT OF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DIGEST THAT.

KRISTEN WILSON: LOCAL COMPANIES CAN CERTAINLY REQUIRE MORE RESTRICTIVE PROTOCOL, BUT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR SURE, BUT I BUT THAT'S THEIR OPTION IT'S NOT THAT IT'S NOT MANDATED THAT THEY HAVE TO KEEP DISTANCE SO IF THEY IF IF THEY WANT TO, THEY CAN, BUT IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN WHATEVER THEY HAVE OUTDOORS IS IS A BONUS TO THEM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ASSUMES THAT PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE GOING IN YOU KNOW I MEAN THAT'S WHAT I GUESS I'D WANT TO HEAR FROM THE RESTAURANTS, TOO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE THAT'S RIGHT, SO WHAT IS A WHAT IS THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOLKS ARE ARE THAT THEY'RE NOT GETTING YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW IT, I THINK IT'S GREAT, THE MORE WE CAN OPEN UP AND GET BACK TO NORMAL WHATEVER NORMAL IS IS AWESOME IT'S YOU KNOW YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE RESTAURANTS HEARING IN TERMS OF PEOPLE'S WILLINGNESS TO GO INTO A RESTAURANT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S CHANGED MUCH DORF IT STILL NEEDS A LITTLE MORE SEASON, OR WHAT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH NO I MEAN I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S THE SAME SIMILAR TO THE COMFORT LEVEL OF JUST SHOPPING INDOORS AT A AT A STORE, ALTHOUGH YOU'RE TAKING OFF YOUR MASK ALTHOUGH MASKS ARE NOT REALLY REQUIRED ANYMORE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, BUT THE BUT THE ISSUE IS IS THAT IF IT'S IF THAT'S NOT MANDATORY, TO HAVE THE DISTANCING WE DO WANT TO TO TO REALLY TRY TO BE AS FAIR AS POSSIBLE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO EVERY SINGLE MERCHANT AND BUSINESS OWNER AND THAT'S WHY I RETURNED TO THE ONE THIRD WHO DON'T WANT IT, THAT WE REALLY DO WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM, BECAUSE NOW WE'RE BACK TO PRE PANDEMIC SITUATION AND AT WHAT POINT IF WE WERE TO SAY OKAY BUMP OUTS ARE ALLOWED ON THE RESTAURANTS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AT WHAT POINT DO YOU SAY WELL YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT ANYMORE, OR YOU OR YOU KNOW OR OR YOU CAN HAVE THIS FOREVER AND YOU HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE MERCHANTS WHO WHO DON'T WANT THIS, SO I DO THINK WE NEED TO SORT OF REFLECT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ON THAT, AND I THINK LET'S HEAR FROM THE MERCHANTS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THERE'S PEOPLE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN PEOPLE'S HANDS AND TALKING HERE I'D LIKE.

TO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DO.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE MORE QUICK THING AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE SURVEY WAS TAKEN BEFORE ALL THIS OTHER STUFF CHANGED RIGHT SO WE'RE LOOKING AT DATED INFORMATION, THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND IS CHANGING RAPIDLY FOR THE BETTER SO WE'VE A BIT DATED INFORMATION HERE THAT IN TERMS OF THE SURVEY POINT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND TO CLARIFY THE SURVEY UP THE MERCHANTS, AND THE RESTAURANTS AND THE ALL THE MERCHANTS IN TOWN THAT'S THE SURVEY THAT WAS TAKEN.

CORRECT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT IS TONY FIRST FIRST FLOOR MERCHANTS ON PURCHASE BETWEEN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BETWEEN 30 AND THE BUS AND POST ROAD THAT IS HAVILLAND IS THAT RIGHT.

TONY COASH: HAVE ONE SHOE PARTY CORRECT.

TONY COASH: OKAY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOUR HANDS RAISED WITH PAM SORRY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EGGS I'VE TRIED A COUPLE TIMES TO GET IN HERE UM I DON'T FIRST OF ALL THINK.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT SOMETHING OR DON'T WANT SOMETHING IT'S HOW WE SHOULD BE DECIDING, I THINK WE, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT DATA WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF DATA, WE ARE LOOKING FOR.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS NOT A SURVEY OF PEOPLE WHETHER THEY VISIT DOWNTOWN OR OWN A BUSINESS DOWNTOWN ALTHOUGH THOSE THINGS ARE VERY NICE TO HAVE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TALK, OR MAYBE CONSIDER HAVING SOMEBODY COME IN WITH SOME ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND JUST SAY.

[00:35:06]

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUSINESS OR OR NOT, BUT AT LEAST GIVE US OPTIONS, I FEEL LIKE THE KOBE THING IS, AT THE END AND THAT AS MUCH AS I, AS A CALIFORNIAN LOVE OPEN PLAZAS I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT SAY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHETHER IT'S A THIRD OF THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT THAT PLAZA OR IT'S A QUARTER OF THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT THAT PLAZA.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR US AS GOVERNMENT TO GO IN AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT YOU DON'T WANT BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE DO WANT IT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A MISTAKE ON OUR PART, SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS DISCUSS MAYBE PUTTING TOGETHER.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOME SORT OF STUDY ON ON FOR BUSINESS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, AND IF WE DECIDE THE CLOSING THE DOWNTOWN AREA FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE MAKES SENSE, THEN WE SHOULD DO AS I'VE MENTIONED TO.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A FELLOW COUNCIL PERSON, WE SHOULD DO A CAPITAL PROJECT AND DO IT RIGHT, WE SHOULD MAKE IT PRETTY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE SHOULD MAKE IT RELAXING, WE SHOULD MAKE IT SO THAT THE STAFF ISN'T OVERBURDENED AND THE RESTAURANTS AREN'T OVERBURDENED BY IT, WE SHOULD HAVE A VERY THOUGHTFUL PLANNED APPROACH IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, AND I WOULD.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SUPPORT AT THIS POINT I I DON'T SEE WHY JUNE 1 THERE'S A CHANGE, WE WOULD WANT TO DO ANYTHING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD TO THE MIX AND I JUST THOUGHT OUT FOR CONVERSATION IS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: REGARDLESS OR, IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT DO ON PURCHASE STREET THERE ARE RESTAURANTS ON FIRST ON SECOND STREET ON ELM.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THERE'S ALSO RESTAURANTS, NOT IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, BOTH THAT HAVE PUBLIC PROPERTY ACCESS AND OR PRIVATE PROPERTY ACCESS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND ANYTHING THAT YOU ANYTHING THAT WE NEED WE DO, OR YOU DO, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THAT COMPREHENSIVELY BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALL OF THE PERMITTING CURRENTLY WITHOUT A CHANGE WOULD GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHICH IS ANOTHER PART OF THE PROCESS, SO I JUST AGAIN I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PURCHASE RATE BUT IT'S IT'S REALLY CITY WINE IS AND WHICH IS WHAT YOU ALL APPROVED AND EXECUTED ON LAST YEAR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IF HE IF YOU WOULD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GIVE US A MINUTE ON ON CLOSING SECOND STREET AND FIRST STREET AND WHAT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THAT ARE IN TERMS OF AVAILABILITY OF PARKING US TO THE CITY PRED PRESENCE OF COMPETING COMMERCIAL INTERESTS SURE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO YOU KNOW START, STARTING WITH FIRST VERY FIRST GRADERS THE SCRIPT THAT RUNS JUST TO THE SIDE OF SUNRISE SUNRISE IS THE ONLY RESTAURANT ON THAT STREET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEY HAVE TAKEN WHAT USED TO BE A BELIEVE THAT A 15 MINUTE ZONE AND PUT A TABLE OR TWO OUT THERE, THAT WAS PART OF THE WINTER WINTER PLAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT RUNS TOWARD THE TRAIN STATION IT'S REMAINED OPEN ALL THROUGH THIS TIME.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OVER THE WINTER, ETC, SO THEY WERE ABLE TO OPERATE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE EQUIVALENT OF A BUMP OUT THERE SECOND STREET RUNS FROM THE TRAIN STATION FOR 30.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT STREET FROM THE WELL THERE'S OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NO PRIVATE OR THERE'S NO PUBLIC PARKING ON THE STREET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE TWO RESTAURANTS, THAT ARE AFFECTED, THERE ARE TOWN DOC WHICH HAS A COURTYARD IN THE BACK ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT THEY ALSO DURING THE CLOSURE IN THROUGH THE FALL, THEY ALSO OPERATED ON THE STREET ITSELF, WHICH WAS CLOSED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT ARE PLAYING MORE SIGNIFICANT USER IS RIGHT GRILL WHO HAS A PRIVATE LOT THAT THEY TYPICALLY HAVE USED FOR PARKING FOR VALET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT THEY'VE OPENED UP AS A FULL OUTDOOR DINING VENUE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SECOND STREET IS THAT, IN ORDER TO SERVICE THAT OPEN AREA, THE SERVERS AND PATRONS ARE WALKING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SECOND, STREET TO GET THERE, WHICH WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS ARE THE REASONS WHY SECRETARY STATE CLOSED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AGAIN, I KNOW PARKING I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE NOT HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT OTHER POLICE OR PUBLIC WORKS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: HAS A PROBLEM, KEEPING SECOND STREET CLOSED FROM YOU KNOW FROM THE TRAFFIC FLOW STANDPOINT, PARTICULARLY RIGHT NOW UNTIL.

[00:40:01]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BEHIND BEHIND THEM, I BELIEVE, ARE CURRENTLY TAKING FIVE SPOTS AND HAS NOT IT HASN'T BEEN THROUGH THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, BEEN AN ISSUE, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE OF PARKING CAPACITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT WOULD BE A AN ISSUE OR NOT GOING FORWARD, BUT YOU KNOW JUST TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, IT WOULD IT COST THE CITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ABOUT $350 A MONTH $360 A MONTH PER PARKING SPACE, IF ONE WERE TO ASSUME THAT EACH OTHER SPACES WITH US FOR THE FULL 12 HOURS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT IS A WOULD BE A CONSIDERATION ALL THE PARKING SPACES, OF COURSE, ON PURCHASE, FOR YOUR FREE PARKING SO IT'S MORE OF A CAPACITY IS YOUR PURCHASE NOT $1 NOW.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD LIKE TO PUSH BACK A LITTLE BIT ON JUNE 1 AND EVERY WE'RE ALL BACK TO NORMAL.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, WE'RE ALL BACK TO NORMAL HOPEFULLY AND THANKFULLY, BUT THESE BUSINESSES ALL KINDS OF BUSINESSES HAVE SUFFERED A LOT THEY SUFFERED THROUGH THE LOCKDOWN THEY SUFFERED THROUGH ONLY MAKING 50% ARE ONLY MAKING 75% ARE ONLY MAKING 25% SO THEY STILL HAVE A LOT TO RECOVER FROM.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL I'M SORRY I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING BACK TO NORMAL I THINK WE'RE JUST SAYING IT'S YOU KNOW PRE PANDEMIC.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RESTRICTION RESTRICTIONS HAVE PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN LIFTED, BUT YEAH NORMAL IS IS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SADLY, A LONG WAY AWAY.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR EITHER WANTING TO STAY ALIVE AND VIBRANT, WE NEED TO HELP THEM RECOVER THAT'S A.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TOTALLY, WHICH IS WHY, AGAIN, I THINK WE REALLY DO NEED TO HEAR FROM THE ONE THIRD, BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR MERCHANT POPULATION THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AND SUPPORTED IN EVERY WAY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH I THINK WE NEED TO HEAR FROM ALL OF THEM.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, LET'S HEAR FOR.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOT JUST WANT TO HEAR.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT THEIR HANDS UP.

KRISTEN WILSON: LIKE TO SPEAK, OR HE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES, LET'S LET'S LET'S LET'S HAVE PEOPLE IN, SO TO SPEAK, AND PLEASE BEAR IN MIND OUR OUR THREE MINUTE CONVENTION.

KRISTEN WILSON: FINE JACKSON EUROPE.

BRIAN JACKSON: OH, EVERYONE BRIAN JACKSON WITH THE RIGHT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, I WAS THE ONE WHO WENT INTO ALL THE RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN AND TALK TO THEM ALL INDIVIDUALLY.

BRIAN JACKSON: AND GOT THEIR FEEDBACK ON WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THEIR BUSINESS, WE GAVE THEM THE OPTIONS FOR WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT FOR THE DOWNTOWN AS TO WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE BEST AND WHILE THERE IS NO HARD AND FAST.

BRIAN JACKSON: ONE THIRD TWO THIRDS WE LOVE IT WE HATE IT THERE'S A LOT OF GRAY IN THERE.

BRIAN JACKSON: THE BUSINESSES THAT DO NOT WANT IT CLEARLY DO NOT WANT IT, THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE WE'RE CALLING IT THE TWO THIRDS IN FAVOR OF.

BRIAN JACKSON: IS IN FAVOR OF AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW ALL BUSINESSES TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE NOT SPECIFICALLY CLOSED DOWN THE STREET, THERE WERE A HANDFUL OF BUSINESSES THAT SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO CLOSE DOWN THE STREET PERMANENTLY.

BRIAN JACKSON: THAT WAS THEIR MENTALITY MANY OTHERS FAVORITE SOMETHING TO BE DONE TO HELP THE BUSINESSES OUT THAT WERE SUFFERING THERE'S ALSO A RECOGNITION OF MANY RESIDENTS.

BRIAN JACKSON: AND, MYSELF INCLUDED, REALLY ENJOYED THE PLAZA LIKE EATING OUTSIDE, BUT WE ALSO RECOGNIZE WITH THE LIFTING OF THE RESTRICTIONS FROM COVEN.

BRIAN JACKSON: IT'S JUST REALLY NOT FEASIBLE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE STREET, BUT THE REALITY IS MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL SCARED TO EAT INDOORS AND ANY RESTAURANT WILL ATTEST TO THAT I'M SURE, SO THE COMPROMISE TO.

BRIAN JACKSON: HAVE SOME CLOSURE WAS THE TWO WEEKS AROUND SIDEWALK SALE TO CREATE SOME EVENTS TO BRING PEOPLE DOWNTOWN.

BRIAN JACKSON: THE BUMP ASKED FOR RESTAURANTS, WERE TO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE SOME EXTRA SPACE OUTDOORS NOT FROM NECESSARILY A CAPACITY STANDPOINT.

BRIAN JACKSON: BUT FROM AN ALLOWANCE OF PEOPLE WHO REALLY DO NOT WANT TO EAT INDOORS THAT ARE NOT COMFORTABLE YET TO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE SOME SPACE STILL AND THEN, FINALLY, THE YOU KNOW.

BRIAN JACKSON: THE SURVEY THAT I DID WAS REALLY NOT A SCIENTIFIC SURVEY, BUT IT WAS REALLY A FIND OUT FROM INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE AND BUSINESS OWNERS WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THEIR STORES.

BRIAN JACKSON: AND THAT THE CHAMBER REALLY UNDERSTOOD AND FELT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THEIR BUSINESS AND TRYING TO HELP.

BRIAN JACKSON: BUT THE FULL CLOSURE OF THE STREETS IS NOT WARRANTED, AS IT IS HARMFUL TO SOME BUSINESSES, BUT MANY OF THEM DO WANT TO SEE ALL OF THEM SURVIVE AND THRIVE.

BRIAN JACKSON: THERE WERE SEVERAL THAT DECIDED NOT TO RESPOND TO OUR CALLS, BUT TO MAKE SOCIAL MEDIA AND LOCAL PRESS STATEMENTS, WITHOUT CONSIDERING OR CONTACTING THE CHAMBER WHATSOEVER, SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THOSE BUSINESSES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

[00:45:09]

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW DID SOME PEOPLE COME UP WITH THE IDEA THAT THE COUNCIL WAS PUTTING FORWARD SOMETHING, AND THAT WE HAD ALREADY MADE A DECISION I DON'T KNOW WHERE, HOW DID THAT MISINFORMATION GET OUT THERE.

BRIAN JACKSON: I'M SAFELY ASSUMING PURE SPECULATION ON THEIR PART BECAUSE WE NEVER TOLD HIM THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND BRIAN THERE WERE SOME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SOME BUSINESSES THAT SEEMED TO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE THAT ABSTAINED, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR POSITION WAS.

BRIAN JACKSON: YES, PRIMARILY THE BANKS AND THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS, THE BANKS, PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE BANKS THEMSELVES AS I WORK FOR A BANK MYSELF WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE BANK.

BRIAN JACKSON: THEN THE REALTORS REALLY DID NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN OPINION BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT DOING ANY IN STORE VISITS WITH REALTORS.

BRIAN JACKSON: ALL THE REALTORS WERE WORKING OUT OF THEIR LOCATIONS FROM HOME THEY WERE NOT IN THE OFFICE, SO THEREFORE THEY DIDN'T REALLY HAVE MUCH OF AN OPINION EITHER WAY.

BRIAN JACKSON: AND ONE OR TWO OTHER BUSINESSES THAT ARE INDIVIDUAL BOTH RETAIL MOSTLY THEIR MINDSET WAS WHATEVER IS BEST FOR THE CITY AND WHATEVER THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDES SOVIET THEY'LL WORK WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT WAS JUST TO TO RESPOND TO ONE OF THE THE QUESTION ABOUT HOW YOU KNOW THE ABOUT THE DECISION WITH THE COUNCIL, I THINK THE CONFUSION, AT LEAST FOR ME AT LEAST I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE IS THERE WAS A SURVEY THAT CAME OUT MAYBE ABOUT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A MONTH SIX WEEKS AGO THAT SAID THE CHAMBER AND THE CITY OF COUNCIL THE CITY COUNCIL ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE PURCHASE REPLIES.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND THE QUESTIONS WERE RELATED TO THE PLAZA ACTUALLY THE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PLAZA ACTUALLY HAPPENING, I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT SURVEY, I HAVE NO IDEA WHO PUT TOGETHER THAT SURVEY, BUT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHEN IT WAS FORWARDED TO ME, I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE WE HAD NOT HAD THIS CONVERSATION AT THE COUNCIL, OR ANYTHING BUT IT SAID IT, THE WORDING WAS VERY CLEAR THAT IT WAS HAPPENING, AND I THINK WHEN THAT GOT SENT AROUND I SUSPECT THAT THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFUSED ABOUT IT.

BRIAN JACKSON: THAT WAS THE FIRST ITERATION THAT IS CORRECT, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY I WENT INTO EVERY BUSINESS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THAT'S GREAT YOU.

BRIAN JACKSON: KNOW SOME BLANK FORM BUT THAT THAT OBVIOUSLY AND WE ADMITTED TO EACH PERSON THAT WE SPOKE TO WAS OBVIOUSLY A BIT HURRIED AND RUSHED WHERE WE THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO DEFINITELY BE A DOWNTOWN PLAZA AS.

BRIAN JACKSON: MR STACKS ALLUDED TO THINGS IN THE GROUND ARE CHANGING QUITE QUICKLY AND THE INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVE BECAME QUICKLY MOVED AND WE HAD TO PIVOT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS WHAT'S CURRENTLY HAPPENING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NO, I I HEAR YOU I'M JUST ANSWERING CAROLINA'S QUESTION.

BRIAN JACKSON: ALSO OKAY, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: LE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: YOU'RE OKAY HI GUYS, HOW ARE YOU MY NAME IS ELLIOT MINSKY I'M THE OWNER OF LOVE BELLA JUST A COUPLE LITTLE THINGS I DID DROP BY A PETITION TODAY TO GREG OR SEES OFFICE GREG YOU WEREN'T IN.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: WE HAVE ABOUT 400 RYE CUSTOMERS JUST IN THE LAST WEEK THAT HAVE COME INTO MY STORE THAT HAVE SIGNED.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: A PETITION IN FAVOR OF NOT CLOSING THE STREET AND SUPPORTING THE BUSINESSES, WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT MOST OF THE RIDE MOMS LOVE THE STREET CLOSURE UNTIL THEY HEAR THAT IT ACTUALLY.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: WAS HARMFUL FOR THE BUSINESSES, AND THEN THEY COMPLETELY CHANGE THEIR THEIR TUNE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: THE OTHER THING IS, WE ALSO HAVE AN ONLINE PETITION THAT'S SOMETHING I MOSTLY HAVE DONE ON MY OWN, SO I THINK I'VE HAD A LITTLE MORE TIME I COULD PROBABLY GET 10S OF THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES I'M JUST ONE PERSON.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: SECONDLY.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: IS IT BRIAN I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET YOU, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE LIST OF THE TWO THIRDS OF THE BUSINESSES BECAUSE I WENT UP AND DOWN.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: PURCHASE STREET TODAY MYSELF JUST ASKING BUSINESS OWNERS WHAT THEIR STANCE WAS AND.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: WITH THE EXCEPTION OF TWO RETAILERS AND THE RESTAURANTS EVERY SINGLE STORE THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THEY ABSOLUTELY HATED THE CLOSURE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: IT WAS KILLING THEIR BUSINESS, I CAN GIVE YOU A LIST OF EVERYONE, I SPOKE TO, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE SARAH OVER A SARS SO THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: AND SHE LOVED THE PLAZA PERSONALLY, BUT AS A BUSINESS, IT WAS DETRIMENTAL A COUPLE BUSINESS OWNERS TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE THEY WERE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: AFRAID THAT THEY WOULD BE BLACKLISTED BY RIDE MOMS ALL OF THE OTHER BUSINESSES WHICH ARE MAJOR RETAILERS IN TOWN, INCLUDING SHOES, MR FOR NOW HAS MORE AND MORE VANTAGE JEANS MYSELF.

[00:50:10]

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: ALL OF THE JEWELRY STORES EVERYONE THAT I TALKED TO IS ABSOLUTELY AGAINST THE CLOSURE AND IT'S, NOT BECAUSE WE DON'T SUPPORT THE RESTAURANTS, WE DO I ORDER TAKEOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY FROM ALL THE RESTAURANTS AND WE GO AFTER WORK.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: BUT IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS FAIR FOR EVERYONE, AS OF TODAY OR TOMORROW, THERE IS NO MORE SIX FEET SOCIAL DISTANCING.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I UNDERSTAND EVERYONE MAY NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, BUT I'M DOUBLE VACCINATED PEOPLE ARE GETTING DOUBLE VACCINATED WE CAN'T.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: BUILD AN ECONOMY BASED ON WHO IS COMFORTABLE AND WHO IS NOT, I MEAN PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO MY STORE, WITH NO MASS ON THAT'S THEIR COMFORT LEVEL PEOPLE HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: AND I SUPPORT THE RESTAURANTS, I SUPPORT A BUMP OUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS NECESSARY, BUT I.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: STRONGLY FEEL AND A LOT OF US FEEL THAT THE RESTAURANTS, HAVE BEEN FAVORED AND THAT NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT THE SMALL BUSINESSES, LIKE THE RETAILERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE AND HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR AND WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE NOT CLOSE THE STREET.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I'M DONE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN I ASK A QUESTION LE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE IDEA OF IT BEING CLOSED FOR.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS TO CELEBRATE I DON'T KNOW THE SIDEWALK SALE HAVING MUSIC THAT KIND OF THING JUST FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS THE CHAMBER HAS REQUESTED, DO YOU LIKE THAT.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I MEAN I.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I WOULD RATHER NOT BUT I'M WILLING TO COMPROMISE SO SURE I THINK THERE IS A BIT OF A MISCONCEPTION, AND I EMAILED A GROUP OF YOU TODAY, I APOLOGIZE IF YOU WEREN'T ON THE EMAIL I DO.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: HAVE EVERYONE'S EMAIL, BUT I HAVE RUN THE LARCHMONT SIDEWALK SALE, FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS I HAVE HAD A STORE IN LARCHMONT FOR 17 YEARS I HAVE A STORE IN CHARLESTON AND OPENING A STORE IN CHICAGO.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: THE SIDEWALK SALE IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE REALLY DON'T REALIZE IS GOING ON UNTIL THEY LITERALLY DRIVE DOWN THE STREET LOOK UP AND SAY OH MY GOD THEY SEE THE 10TH THEY SEE THE RACKS OUTSIDE THEY SAY IT.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: WORKS NOW LET'S PULL OVER I HAVE A 4000 EMAIL DATABASE JUSTIN RYAN I SEND THEM AN EMAIL AND PEOPLE JUST FORGET ABOUT IT, THEY DON'T WRITE IT DOWN THEY DON'T SAVE THE DATE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: PEOPLE LAST YEAR, I MEAN WAS WAS JUST GOD AWFUL AND I KNOW IT WAS MIDDLE OF COVEN BUT LARCHMONT ALSO HAD THE SIDEWALK SALE AT THE SAME TIME, AND WE WERE PACKED.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: IN THE MIDDLE OF CODE, WITH PEOPLE WEARING MASKS WHO WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, SO I WOULD URGE YOU TO SURE GO AHEAD CLOSEST STREET AFTER CYBORGS SO PLEASE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BENEFIT ANYONE TO CLOSE IT DURING SIDEWALK SALE, I SPOKE TO LIZ FROM CHOOSE A MORE TODAY ON THE PHONE I SPOKEN TO ELI FROM HAVANA JEANS.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I MEAN, THESE ARE THE MAJOR PLAYERS THAT HAVE BEEN TOWN A LOT LONGER THAN I HAVE, AND THEY ARE ALL.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: SAID THAT THE CLOSURE WAS HORRENDOUS FOR THEM AND LIZ.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: LAST YEAR HAD SOMEONE ON LOUDSPEAKER DOING TWO ITEMS FOR 30 BUCKS YOU KNOW I MEAN LIKE THAT'S HOW BAD SIDEWALK SALE WAS SO CUSTOMERS DO NOT KNOW.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: YOU COULD PUT A SIGN ON YOUR WINDOW THAT SAYS 50% OFF SALE AND THEY WALK IN AND THEY SAY HEY ARE YOU GUYS HAVING A SALE ANYTIME SOON THEY JUST REALLY DON'T NOTICE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: THAT'S JUST THE TRUTH SO YES, CLOSE IT MAKE IT A FESTIVAL HAVE FACE PAINTING HAVE A LIVE BAND SURE I'M ALL FOR DOWNTOWN THRIVING AND OUTSIDE EATING, BUT PLEASE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: DON'T CLOSE IT DURING SIDEWALK SALE WHEN IT WHICH, WHICH IS EVERYONE'S FIRE SALE EVERYONE, YOU KNOW AND EVERYBODY HAS SO MUCH TO GET RID OF, AND WE NEED THE TRAFFIC, WE NEED THE 3000 TO 5000 CARS THAT DRIVE BY EVERY DAY.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: WE DON'T NEED THE 30 PEOPLE THAT WALK DOWN TO HAVE LUNCH, WE NEED THE WE NEED THE CARS.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I'M DONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, IF NO MORE QUESTIONS FOR LA LET'S HAVE OUR NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MICHAEL COYOTE.

MICHAEL CAIATI: YEAH I THANK YOU I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF I'M AN OWNER OF ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE TOWN DOC AND JUST JUST TALKING ABOUT SECOND STREET.

MICHAEL CAIATI: YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF THINGS I'LL JUST BRING UP.

MICHAEL CAIATI: WITH REGARDS TO SECOND STORY SECOND STREET WAS ORIGINALLY SLATED TO BE CLOSED, I THINK, THROUGH MAY 15.

MICHAEL CAIATI: PART OF THE WINTER PLAN, I THINK, WITH WITH THE SNOW FALL THEY REMOVE THE BARRIERS, BUT WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE NOT GOING TO BE PUTTING THEM BACK UP SO WE MISSED SOME CRITICAL TIME SPRING.

MICHAEL CAIATI: THE OTHER THING I MENTIONED, IS THAT EVERYBODY ON SECOND STREET AND IT'S NOT JUST US AND THE RYE GRILL IT'S IT'S PATISSERIE AND THE BAGEL SHOP AND SOME OTHERS.

MICHAEL CAIATI: ALL CAN BENEFIT FROM THAT STREET CLOSURE AND LAST THING I'LL SAY IS THAT, AS SOMEBODY MENTIONED BEFORE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE KIND OF GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THAT STREET SO.

[00:55:05]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I DON'T THINK WE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, AND MY MY STARTING POINT WOULD BE TO CONSIDER IT SEPARATELY BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHERS ON THE COUNCIL MIGHT THINK.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL IT'S I MEAN A LOT OF THIS STUFF RIGHT THERE, THERE IS A THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM FROM THE CHAMBER RIGHT IT'S, WHICH IS IN THE PACKET THAT HAS.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, FIVE DIFFERENT POINTS SO THAT CLOSING SECOND STRAIGHT IS ONE I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SEEMED LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS IS CONSIDERING ALL THIS AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO I GUESS MAKE A DECISION NEXT TIME BUT I'M JUST I MEAN THERE IS A PROPOSAL FROM THE CHAMBER HERE, I THINK, FOR US TO ADDRESS OR NOT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT ALSO WAS SECOND STREET PART OF THE COLD PLAN OR THE COLD WEATHER PLAN AND DO WE NOT HONOR THAT PLAN OR WHAT HAPPENED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WITH THE WITH THE EXTENSION WHEN WE DID THE EXTENSION OR WHEN YOU DID THE EXTENSION IN I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: APRIL MARCH, APRIL, WHATEVER THE TIME FRAME WAS ON THE THE REQUEST WAS TO NOT CLOSE ANY ADDITIONAL STREETS, AND SO IT KIND OF FELL INTO THIS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: KIND OF GRAY AREA OF YES, IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL WINTER PLAN, BUT THEN THERE WAS A SPECIFIC REQUEST BY THE COUNCIL NOT TO CLOSE OR TAKE ANY MORE STREETS OR PARKING SPACES, OR ANYTHING ELSE, AND SO I'M.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I'M CERTAINLY SENSITIVE TO TOWN DOC BECAUSE THEY KIND OF GOT CAUGHT IN THAT GRAY AREA.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, OUR NEXT SPEAKER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BEFORE BEFORE YOU SPEAK, THIS IS OUR FIRST GET TOGETHER YOURS IN MIND, SINCE YOU PUBLISHED SOMETHING IN THE LOCAL PAPER AND YOU MENTIONED THAT I UNILATERALLY CLOSED PURCHASE STREET LAST YEAR, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW THAT FIRST UNANIMOUS COUNCIL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CLOSE PURCHASE STREET AND THEN A STRONG COUNCIL MAJORITY ENDORSED PURCHASE PLAZA AND DID SO ON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RECOMMENDATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND IN FACT YOU RESIGNED FROM THE CHAMBER EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE THEIR PRO PLUS IF YOU SO I'M PROUD OF HAVING SUPPORTED THE APPLAUSE, I THINK IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS, LAST YEAR, BUT I CAN'T SAY IT WAS JUST ME WHO DID IT AND I DON'T THINK I, YOU SHOULD SAY THAT EITHER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THEN THERE'S THE THE FOOLISH IDEA THAT I SOMEHOW WALKED AROUND TOWN SAYING RETAIL IS DEAD AND THAT'S JUST NUTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I'VE MADE MANY STATEMENTS IN WRITING TO THE WHOLE TOWN URGING RESIDENTS TO SUPPORT OUR MERCHANTS RETAILERS RESTAURANTS SERVICES.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I WOULD STILL SAY, AS I DID SAY TO ONE OR TWO RETAILERS WHO WERE IN ANGRY DENIAL IN THE PANDEMIC.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JULY OF LAST YEAR THAT RETAIL WAS HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME WITH COATED INDEPENDENTLY OF WHETHER PURCHASE PLAZA EXISTED OR NOT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: PEOPLE WERE AFRAID TO SHOP PEOPLE DIDN'T FEEL FINANCIALLY SECURE TO SHOP AND PEOPLE HAD NO OCCASIONS TO SHOP, FOR I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE BE HONEST ABOUT ALL OF THAT, AND WITH THAT, I INVITE YOU GUYS TO WHAT I HOPE WILL BE A MORE PRODUCTIVE MANNER OF DISCOURSE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CHI PLEASE GO AHEAD.

CAI PALMER: AM I UNMUTED.

CAI PALMER: YES, JOSH NO HARD FEELINGS AT ALL THE THE COMMENT REGARDING RETAIL IS DEAD WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A LAW FIRM ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE RETAILER.

CAI PALMER: AND THAT RETAILER HAD INDICATED THAT THAT WAS A COMMENT YOU MADE TO HER IN HER STORE IS INCORRECT UNHAPPY TO GO BACK TO THE LAW FIRM AND TELL THEM THAT IS AN INCORRECT STATEMENT, BUT THAT STATEMENT DID NOT COME FROM ME THAT STATEMENT CAME FROM ANOTHER RETAILER AND.

CAI PALMER: THE COMMENT, I THINK, I THINK, WHERE I'M COMING FROM THIS YEAR I SUPPORTED LAST YEAR, THE CLOSURE OF PLAZA STREET IN THAT FIRST YEAR.

CAI PALMER: I WAS VERY VOCAL ABOUT ADVOCATING FOR THEM TO DO WHATEVER WE COULD FOR THE RESTAURANTS IN IN RIGHT, WE HAD TO THEY WERE DYING, THEY WERE DYING A LOT WORSE THAN WE WERE WHAT I DIDN'T ADVOCATE WAS A CONTINUATION OF THE CLOSURE OF THE PLANS ARE IN THE FACE OF MOUNTING.

[01:00:22]

CAI PALMER: AND THAT IS WHY I RESIGNED FROM THE CHAMBER FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, FIRST BECAUSE I STRONGLY BELIEVE AND BELIEVE, THEN, THAT THE DATA THAT THEY SUPPLIED YOU WITH TO MAKE THAT DECISION WAS INCORRECT.

CAI PALMER: I STILL BELIEVE THAT THE DATA IS INCORRECT, ONE OF MY BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH THIS SURVEY DATA IS THAT IT IS INCORRECT AND FALSE.

CAI PALMER: THE CHAMBER DOES NOT HAVE AN ACCURATE MEMBER LIST, THE VERY FACT THAT ROBIN ZENOVICH RARELY, IF EVER GETS AN EMAIL FROM THE CHAMBER IS A POINT OF CONCERN.

CAI PALMER: SHE'S BEEN A MEMBER OF THE CHAMBER AND ADVOCATED FOR THE CHAMBER TO ACTUALLY EXIST, AND YET SHE DOES NOT GET EMAILS BECAUSE HE EMAIL LIST HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED.

CAI PALMER: SO I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH ANY DATA THAT IS PUT FORWARD BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS CORRECT, BUT I THINK MY STRONGEST POINT THIS YEAR IS SURELY THE QUESTION OF PLAZA STREET IS MOOT.

CAI PALMER: WHAT ARE WE DOING IT FOR FOR HIS BENEFIT ARE WE DOING IT.

CAI PALMER: WHAT ARE THE MOTIVES BEHIND CLOSING THE STREET, WHEN THE MAJORITY AND I DO BELIEVE THAT IT IS A MAJORITY OF RETAILERS DO NOT WANT THE ROAD TO BE CLOSED, YES, THE RESTAURANTS WANTED TO BE CLOSE, BUT THERE ARE SOME OF THEM ARE AT 130% CAPACITY.

CAI PALMER: KRISTEN I'M WATCHING THE CLOCK BEHIND YOU DO, I REALLY HAVE SIX SECONDS.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES.

CAI PALMER: OKAY BYE BYE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: JUDY GRAHAM.

JUDY GRAHAM: THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'M JUDY GRAHAM I OWN PINK HOME AND GIFTS IN TOWN FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CHAMBER AND PARTICULARLY TONY.

JUDY GRAHAM: COERCION LIZ WOODS, FOR ALL THE EFFORTS AND WORK THEY PUT IN OVER THE YEAR AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE CITY MANAGER AND THE MAYOR FOR THEIR.

JUDY GRAHAM: LEADERSHIP DURING THE PANDEMIC BECAUSE, QUITE HONESTLY, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT AND WHO COULD HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT SO AS THEY SAY IT WAS UNCHARTED WATERS.

JUDY GRAHAM: FIRST, LET ME SPEAK I AS A 30 YEAR RESIDENT OF RYE.

JUDY GRAHAM: IT'S NO SECRET I ENJOYED THE PLAZA VERY MUCH.

JUDY GRAHAM: MY DEALINGS WITH RESIDENCE AND YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A VERY UNSCIENTIFIC FACEBOOK POST ABOUT THE PLAZA THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT.

JUDY GRAHAM: THE RESIDENTS REALLY DID LIKE THE PLAZA, NO, NO QUESTION I'M I HAD PEOPLE SAY TO ME.

JUDY GRAHAM: HOW IS YOUR BUSINESS THEM.

JUDY GRAHAM: BECAUSE THEIR CONCERN AS RESIDENTS, NOT ONLY WERE THEY THINK THEY WEREN'T JUST THINKING OF THEMSELVES, BUT WAS I OKAY, WITH IT, WHERE THE STORES OKAY, AND, AS I POINTED OUT TO THEM.

JUDY GRAHAM: IT'S TERRIBLE IT'S ALL TERRIBLE RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY'S TERRIBLE YOUR HOME ZOOM TEACHING KIDS IT ALL WAS BEYOND.

JUDY GRAHAM: I OWN A GIFT STORE GUESS WHO DIDN'T NEED GIFTS, FOR A LONG TIME NOBODY WAS GOING TO PARTIES, NOBODY WAS DOING ANYTHING, NOBODY.

JUDY GRAHAM: HAD ANY REASON TO BUY GIFTS, SO YOU KNOW AND WE'RE ONLY NOW JUST BEGINNING TO GET BACK TO IT, BUT TODAY, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN TECHNICALLY MASKS WERE NOT NECESSARY PEOPLE WORE MASKS.

JUDY GRAHAM: I THINK THEY'RE STILL VERY, VERY CONCERNED ABOUT CODING, AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE QUITE READY TO JUST BUST OUT ON IT.

JUDY GRAHAM: BUT MY POINT TO THE COUNCIL RIGHT NOW IS SIMPLY, IN ADDITION TO LISTENING TO RETAILERS AND BUSINESSES SHOULD YOU NOT ALSO BE LISTENING TO WHAT THE RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE.

JUDY GRAHAM: AND I AS A RESIDENT REALLY LIKED IT AND AGAIN IT'S NO SECRET AS A RETAILER I LIKED IT AND, SINCE IT WAS ALREADY REFERENCED THE ARTICLE THAT I WROTE, I HAVE TO ADD THAT INSINUATING THAT MY DAUGHTER, AND I HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES WAS VERY OFFENSIVE TO ME AND I DID CONFRONT KAI ON THAT SO.

[01:05:07]

JUDY GRAHAM: IT'S SAD IT'S KIND OF WHERE OUR SOCIETY IS KIND OF TAKEN A DIP.

JUDY GRAHAM: AND THERE'S NO QUESTION I'M VERY EMPATHETIC TO THE FELLOW RETAILERS WE'VE ALL SUFFERED GREATLY AND CONTINUE TO SO.

JUDY GRAHAM: I THINK THE PLAZA CAN BE.

JUDY GRAHAM: BENEFICIAL AGAIN TO STORES AND.

JUDY GRAHAM: AND LASTLY, I AGAIN TO THE POINT OF BEING HOW DIVISIVE, THIS HAS GOTTEN A THAT THERE WAS THIS ONLINE PETITION BY A NON RESIDENT WHO.

KRISTEN WILSON: URGED THREE YEAR OLD TIMES OF DIDN'T.

JUDY GRAHAM: OKAY, JUST SIMPLY NOT VOTE FOR FOR JOSH IF THE PLAZA WAS OPENED UP, AND I THINK THAT'S WRONG, THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: ABBY.

ABBIE: HI I WILL I WILL BE UNMUTED BUT I DIDN'T KNOW PAM HAD SOMETHING TO SAY TO THAT BECAUSE.

ABBIE: I'D RATHER LIKE I THOUGHT YOUR MOUSE IS MOVING, SO I WOULD LET YOU ON MUTE TO MY MOM WHO YOU ALL KNOW.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH I I JUST WENT IT'S ELECTION TIME PEOPLE ACT CRAZY IN MY WAY YEAH.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT I'M ALL YELLING AT MY DOG SO.

ABBIE: OKAY SORRY ABOUT THAT ALRIGHT WELL I'LL MAKE IT QUICK, SINCE I LAST 20 SECONDS A COUPLE THINGS SPREAD, I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE PARKING SPOT SINCE I KNOW THAT THE PLAN ORIGINALLY WAS TO BE OPEN, FROM.

ABBIE: I GUESS THE LIBRARY TO SMITH STREET I KNOW YOU SAID AT THREE SPOTS.

ABBIE: IF WE CUT THE ORIGINAL PLAN TO OPEN UP THE PLAZA IF WE DID VERTICAL SPOTS WITH THAT ADD ADDITIONAL SPOTS.

ABBIE: FROM THE LIBRARY TO SMITH.

ABBIE: TO I KNOW THAT TONY AND BRIAN WENT AROUND AND TALKING TO EVERYBODY, AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT ONE THIRD OF THE PEOPLE.

ABBIE: DON'T LIKE IT, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S A HEY I GET IT, I MEAN.

ABBIE: I DON'T KNOW IF MY BUSINESS DID BETTER OR WORSE LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF THE PLAZA I REALLY DO NOT KNOW, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I, I PERSONALLY WORKED MY ASS OFF AND IT'S NEVER BEEN MORE EXHAUSTING FOR ME THAT LAST YEAR IT WAS.

ABBIE: DETRIMENTAL TO MY FAMILY TO MY HEALTH TO EVERYTHING, BUT I WAS DOING EVERYTHING I COULD TO KEEP MY BUSINESS OPEN, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK DOOR DROPPING EVERYTHING DELIVERING I BUILT IN PHENOMENAL WEBSITE.

ABBIE: AND THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO KEEP MY BUSINESS ALIVE, I THINK THAT SOME OF THE BUSINESSES THAT MAY BE COMPLAINING RIGHT NOW.

ABBIE: AND I, THIS WILL AGAIN I DON'T HAVE THE BEST OF WORDS, WE SHOULD JUST ALL BE HAPPY THAT WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS, YOU KNOW IT JUST IT WAS A LOT.

ABBIE: MASS IN TERMS OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH GOVERNOR CUOMO.

ABBIE: UPDATING THE MASS MANDATE I DO FEEL LIKE JUST BECAUSE I THINK SARAH SAID WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO PRE PANDEMIC WAYS.

ABBIE: JANUARY, I MEAN JUNE ONE THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE, AS A BUSINESS OWNER, YOU CAN YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR BUSINESS.

ABBIE: AND WE ARE STILL USING MASS BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL LIKE PEOPLE WOULD BE COMFORTABLE COMING INTO OUR STORE WITHOUT ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES NAST I WOULD NOT BE COMFORTABLE EATING INSIDE A RESTAURANT WITH 710 YEAR OLD BOYS ON NAST I WOULD ASK FOR A SPOT OUTSIDE.

ABBIE: THERE'S STILL A 10% CHANCE, I COULD GET COVEN AND YOU KNOW I KNOW I WON'T DIE FROM IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET IT.

ABBIE: UM IN TERMS OF DRIVING A VIBRANT TOWN, WE HAVE PEOPLE COME IN EVERY DAY FROM WESTPORT ALL OVER THE PLACE IT'S A THIS TOWN IS AMAZING, YOU SHOULD SEE OUR TOWN.

ABBIE: AND THEN OKAY THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON ON THE THE YOU KNOW PRE PRE PANDEMIC TO BE VERY CLEAR WHAT I'M SAYING THERE IS THAT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNOR'S ORDERS, WE ARE GOING BACK TO A PRE PANDEMIC WAY OF LIVING, IT IS A CHOICE OF COURSE BUSINESSES CAN CHOOSE TO REQUIRE MASS INDOORS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND MANY WILL DO SO AND I KNOW FOR MYSELF EVEN BEING VACCINATED I WILL PROBABLY GO INTO STORES, WITH MY MASK ON SO, BUT THE CHOICE IS THERE THAT WAS DIFFERENT PRIOR TO DO JUNE ONE SO THAT'S THE THE, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.

[01:10:14]

KRISTEN WILSON: LISA.

KRISTEN WILSON: LISA MAYBE WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: TONY.

TONY COASH: I HAD MY HAND RAISED EARLIER AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY ONE OR TWO THINGS REGARDING THE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND RESTAURANTS, THE IF YOU ARE NOT VACCINATED YOU ARE STILL REQUIRED TO IN A RESTAURANT BE SIX FEET APART.

TONY COASH: SO IT'S NOW UP TO THE OPERATOR OF THE RESTAURANT TO SEE WHO'S BEEN VACCINATED AND WHO'S NOT AND BE ABLE TO SEE THESE PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

TONY COASH: AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO JUST RESPOND TO.

TONY COASH: SOME KAI'S WORDS, WE DO HAVE RECORD OF EVERY EMAIL THAT WE'VE SAID TO ROBIN AND WE DO HAVE PAPER VOTES OF EVERY OF THE PHOTOS THAT WE TOOK FOR THE PLAZA.

TONY COASH: SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE WORK IS GETTING HIS INFORMATION FROM.

US THAT'S IT THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: OKAY WE'RE GETTING INTO SOME REPEAT SPEAKERS HERE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DO WE HAVE ANY WHO IS NOT YET SPOKEN.

KRISTEN WILSON: NO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THEN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IS HAND THIS BACK UP, THOUGH.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE GET.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET'S GET TO LISA WHO COULDN'T SPEAK BEFORE.

KRISTEN WILSON: MR YOUR BACKUP.

KRISTEN WILSON: LISA.

OKAY.

LISA MCKIERNAN: OH.

NOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE CAN HEAR YOU LISA.

LISA MCKIERNAN: OH OKAY GOOD OKAY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FIRST OF ALL, FOR ALL THAT EVERYONE HAS DONE IN HEARING US OUT AND HELPING US GET THROUGH AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TIME.

LISA MCKIERNAN: OBVIOUSLY THE RESTAURANTS IT'S IT'S GREAT WE LOVE TO PURCHASE FLAWS, I THINK YOU KNOW THERE ISN'T ANYBODY WHO DIDN'T ON THE RESTAURANT SIDE OF THINGS, BUT YOU KNOW WE ALL WANT TO SEE EVERYBODY DO WELL, I THINK.

LISA MCKIERNAN: FACING.

LISA MCKIERNAN: ANYTHING OFF OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE BUSINESS ANYBODY DID DURING THE PANDEMIC IS NOT INDICATIVE OF.

LISA MCKIERNAN: PRE PANDEMIC BUSINESS OR FUTURE BUSINESS, SO YOU KNOW WE'VE PIVOTED OUR BUSINESS AT LEAST 10 TIMES DURING THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF OR HOWEVER LONG IT'S BEEN.

LISA MCKIERNAN: AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, SO I THINK WOULD BE INTERESTING FOR THE RETAILERS, ESPECIALLY THE NAYSAYERS TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR BUSINESS, THIS SUMMER, BECAUSE LAST SUMMER.

LISA MCKIERNAN: AS WAS MENTIONED, NOBODY WAS GOING OUT OR DOING ANYTHING, SO I THINK THAT IF WE JUST REALLY LOOK AT THIS CONSIDERABLY AND REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS SUMMER.

LISA MCKIERNAN: WHETHER THE STREETS OPEN OR CLOSED, BUT I GET THE FEELING IT'LL BE OPEN AT SOME YOU KNOW IN SOME RESPECT, AND I THINK THAT'S FINE, BUT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD REALLY LOOK AT IT, BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE, IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT WITHOUT A PANDEMIC.

LISA MCKIERNAN: I THINK IT'S A LOVELY.

LISA MCKIERNAN: I THOUGHT IT WAS LOVELY I THINK IT CAN BE A VERY BIG DRAW I THINK THERE ARE PLACES THAT DO IT DO IT VERY WELL, AND IF WE BECOME A DRAW FOR THAT REASON, WELL THEN THAT'S ANOTHER REASON TO COME TO RYE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, BUT WE HAVE A SARAH HERE, WHO I DON'T TAKE HIS SPOKEN BEFORE.

KRISTEN WILSON: OR SOME REASON, I CAN ONLY PROMOTE HER TO HELP US I DON'T KNOW NICOLE'S YOU'RE ABLE TO PROMOTE SARAH TO JUST ALLOW HER TO SPEAK.

RTV: NOW SHE PROBABLY HAS OLD SOFTWARE AND CAN ONLY BE A PANELIST OKAY.

KRISTEN WILSON: SO SARAH GOING TO BE PROMOTED TO A PANELIST FOR A SHORT WHILE.

[01:15:02]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SARAH CAN HEAR YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: WE'LL TRY SARAH AGAIN.

KRISTEN WILSON: LATER.

KRISTEN WILSON: SO, IF ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, IF YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND IF NOT MR MAYOR, WE ARE NOW GOING TO ROUND TWO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY LET'S LET'S DO LET'S DO ROOMS TO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KIND OF JUST ASK SOMETHING IF THERE'S IF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH OLD SOFTWARE IS THERE A NUMBER, THEY CAN CALL INTO FOR THIS.

KRISTEN WILSON: THERE IS ON THE AGENDA.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH YEAH YEAH OKAY ALL RIGHT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELL, PEOPLE LISTENING AGENDA IN FRONT OF THEM SO IT'S 646-558-8656.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WITH A WEBINAR ID OF 976498746 SO ONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND PASSWORD TO 58424.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: HEY THERE IT'S LE FROM LA BELLA AGAIN JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS LISA TO LISA'S COMMENTS AND I'M NOT SURE WHICH RESTAURANT YOU OWN, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE DO SUPPORT ALL THE RESTAURANTS, I JUST WANT TO ADD A NOTE THAT WE DID NOT SIGN UP TO BE ON A CLOSED STREET.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: IF RYAN IS INTERESTED IN HAVING A CLOTHES CLOSET IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR SOMEBODY TO PICK ANOTHER STREET TO DEVELOP AS A CLOSED COBBLESTONE STREET.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: LIKE IN FRANKLIN SQUARE IN MIAMI AND LET RETAILERS WHO WANT TO BE ON A CLOSED STREET SIGN A LEASE AND OPEN THERE, BUT THE REST OF US WHO ARE ON THE MAIN STREET SIGNED UP TO BE IN RY FOR A REASON I DO UNDERSTAND THAT LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS WERE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: NOT THE NORM, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THREE STORES IN THREE DIFFERENT TOWNS, WHO ARE ALL GOING THROUGH COVEN WHO ARE ALL GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING AND YOU'RE ONE STORE THAT'S ON A CLOSED STREET IS SIGNIFICANTLY.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: MORE DOWN THAN ANY OTHER OF YOUR BUSINESSES IT'S A PRETTY FAIR, YOU KNOW STRETCH TO SAY IT'S THE STRAIGHT CLOSURE WHEN THE ONE BUSINESS BESIDES AMAZON, THAT IS BOOMING IN IN THIS.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: HORRIBLE PERIOD THAT WE ALL WENT THROUGH WITH WINE AND LIQUOR AND I THINK EVERYBODY CAN PROBABLY.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: YOU KNOW, AGREE TO THAT RIGHT NOBODY'S GOING TO ARGUE THAT WINE AND LIQUOR SALES WILL NOT THROUGH THE ROOF DURING THE PANDEMIC EVERY SINGLE PERSON, I KNOW THAT OWNS A WINE STORE THAT OWNS THE LIQUOR STORE.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: THERE'S THREE LIQUOR STORES IN LARCHMONT THERE'S TWO ON THE CORNER, WHERE I LIVE IN STANFORD.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: THERE WERE KILLING IT KILLING IT KILLING IT KILLING IT, WHY WOULD CAUSE SALES BE DOWN IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AWESOME TOWN OF RYE WHEN EVERYBODY'S COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR 15 COVEN POUNDS THAT THEY'VE BEEN GETTING FROM DRINKING, THE ONLY ONE DENOMINATOR, WAS THE CLOTHES STREET.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: MY SECOND THING IS TO JUDY NOBODY SAID WHAT TWO STORES WERE AGAINST THE CLOSURE AND HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES, YOU WENT TO HIGH AND SAID THAT ON YOUR OWN, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S YOUR GUILTY CONSCIOUS, BUT NOBODY CALLED OUT THE TWO STORES THAT WERE PART OF THAT.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: TO ABBY WE ALL DID EVERYTHING TO MAKE OUR BUSINESSES SURVIVE I ALSO DID HOME DELIVERIES WE BUILT A WEBSITE AND WE WERE ABLE TO PAY OUR RENT JUST IN HOME DELIVERIES ALONE, SO WE ALL WORKED REALLY HARD.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR BUSINESSES SURVIVED, WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THE MASS SITUATION WHEN PEOPLE COME IN.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: WE WERE OUR MASS WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE COMFORTABLE TAKING OFF THEIR MASKS THEY ARE WELCOME TO IF THEY'RE NOT NEW TO KEEP OUR MASKS ON WE'RE ALL DOUBLE VACCINATED.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: I MEAN, AT SOME POINT WE'VE GOT A RIP OFF THE BAND AID SO.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: AND THE LAST THING IS IT YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU LIVE IN RIGHT OR YOU SHOPPING RIGHT, I HAVE SO MANY CUSTOMERS FROM GRANTED.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: FROM WESTPORT FROM LARCHMONT MAMARONECK FROM PURCHASE DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO HER, I DON'T WANT TO COME TRY EVEN RESIDENTS IN RYE THAT SAID, IT WAS JUST A HASSLE TO PARK.

ELLIE ZIEMINSKI: TO COME TO HIT A DEAD END TAKE A LEFT HIT ANOTHER DEAD AND HAD A ONE WAY AND THEY JUST CAN'T BE BOTHERED I HAD PEOPLE THAT WHEN WE WERE OPEN I WAS DOING HOME DELIVERIES, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO COME DOWN TO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AGAIN.

CAI PALMER: THANK YOU, I JUST TONY I JUST WANT TO RESPOND, BECAUSE I FEEL CENSUS AS A PUBLIC FORUM THAT I NEED TO RESPOND I'M JUST GONNA.

CAI PALMER: I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN'T SEE IT, MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT VIDEO I JUST READ OUT THE LATEST EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM ROBIN ZENOVICH CHI.

[01:20:04]

CAI PALMER: SIGN ROBIN INTERVENING SO AGAIN I'M QUOTING FROM HER I'M NOT MAKING ANYTHING UP WITH REGARD TO THE DATA.

CAI PALMER: I APPRECIATE THAT YOU CAME AND YOU SURVEYED THE STREET, AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE DATA YOU GOT WAS WHATEVER IT WAS AND WHATEVER IT WAS THAT YOU SENT TO THE COUNCIL.

CAI PALMER: BUT IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THE FIRST SURVEY, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL IT A SURVEY THAT THE CHAMBER SENT OUT WAS AN ONLINE SURVEY SENT TO AN EMAIL CONTACT LISTS, THAT YOU HAVE AND THE FIRST QUESTION WAS.

CAI PALMER: WITH REGARD TO THE CLOSURE OF THE PART THE THE CLOSURE OR PURCHASE STREET WHAT DATE WOULD YOU PREFER.

CAI PALMER: WHEN I COMMENTED THAT THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO MAKE A SURVEY AND WHEN THE VERY FIRST THING THAT YOU ASK IS WHEN DO YOU WANT THE STREET CLOSED VERY QUICKLY THAT SURVEY ONLINE WAS CHAIN.

CAI PALMER: AND ANOTHER QUESTION WAS RAISED ABOVE THE FIRST QUESTION THAT COMMENTED, WOULD YOU LIKE THE STREET CLOSED OR WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO REMAIN OPEN SO TONY I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU, BECAUSE I KNOW THE ANSWER, BECAUSE YOU GAVE IT ALL BRIAN JACKSON GAVE IT TO ME.

CAI PALMER: DID YOU SEND OUT A SECOND EMAIL TO YOUR CONTACT LIST SAYING WE'VE CHANGED THE SURVEY TO INCLUDE ANOTHER QUESTION, DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT WANT THE STREET, TO BE CLOSED.

CAI PALMER: AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT UM SO THAT'S WHERE THIS WHOLE DATA AND THIS WHOLE SURVEY IS, IN MY VIEW, FALSE AND INCORRECT.

CAI PALMER: I'M NOT MAKING ANY OF THIS UP THE EMAIL THAT I HAVE FROM REGGIE ROBIN AVAILABLE WHICH I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND TO YOU IF SHE IS SO WILLING.

CAI PALMER: AND YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION DID WE ALL DID WE NOT ALTER THE SURVEY ONLINE AND DID WE DID WE NOT SEND OUT A SECOND EMAIL TO THE ENTIRE CONTACT LIST SAYING WE HAVE CHANGED THE SURVEY, THANK YOU.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT THE SURVEY TO GET UP IT BECAUSE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED UP FRONT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S HIDING ANYTHING I THINK THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT POTENTIALLY WELL WORDED, TO BEGIN WITH, AND THEY UPDATED IT TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR SO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TONY TONY CAN SPEAK TO THAT THAT'S HOW I THOUGHT SOMEBODY ALREADY SPOKE TO THAT MAYBE I'M POSING IN IT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET'S SEE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE HAVE I SEE IN QUEUE TONY AND ABBY MAYBE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET'S TO WILL GIVE TONY AN OPPORTUNITY TO LET'S SAY CLOSE OUT THE CONVERSATION WITH KAI AND THEN WE'LL GO TO ABBY.

TONY COASH: I THINK THIS RELATES ALSO TO THE POINT THAT SARAH BROUGHT UP EARLIER IS THAT OUR FIRST QUESTIONNAIRE ONLINE WITHOUT PREMATURE AND WAS NOT WORDED CORRECTLY.

TONY COASH: AT OUR CHAMBER MEETINGS WHICH ROBIN WAS INVITED TO SHE WE CLARIFIED ALL THAT INFORMATION AND THEN DECIDED THAT WE NEEDED TO GO PERSON TO PERSON TO TALK TO EVERY BUSINESS AND.

TONY COASH: SO WE ABANDONED THE ONLINE EMAIL QUESTIONNAIRE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CAME OKAY, THANK YOU, I THINK ABBY WHO BE OUR LAST REPEAT SPEAKER.

ABBIE: HI YEAH I'LL MAKE IT VERY BRIEF, I JUST WANTED TO VOICE IN FOR SARAH WHO PROBABLY CAN'T GET ON WAS THAT.

ABBIE: SHE'D LIKE TO SPEAK FOR HERSELF AND NOBODY CAN SPEAK FOR HER SHE'S THE OWNER OF SALSA AND I WOULD INVITE SARAH AND PAM AND CAROLINA WHAT JULIE JOSH KRISTEN BEN AND RICH.

[4. Consideration of a proposed addition to the Rules and Regulations of the City of Rye Police Department: General Order #117.10 establishing body camera guidelines.]

ABBIE: TO THEM, AND WHAT THEY THINK OF THE PLAZA I THINK THIS IS TURNED INTO A SPITTING WAR AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE.

ABBIE: SO I WELCOME ALL OF YOU TO SPEAK WITH US WITH ELLIE WITH KAI ALONE AND REALLY SEE OUR FEELINGS AND WHAT'S GOING ON AND COME DOWNTOWN AND SEE YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING, SO I DO THINK THAT THAT IS IMPORTANT AND I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING SO I THINK WE SHOULD END IT ON THAT AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S EXCELLENT AND ABSOLUTELY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW I'M NOT SURE THAT ROB IS AVAILABLE AND I'LL SEE HIM IN REGISTERED, I THINK THAT I'M JUST FOR THE FOR THE PUBLIC, WE, THE BODY CAMERAS GENERAL ORDERS WERE DISCUSSING EXECUTIVE SESSION ON DUE TO SOME.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: CONCERNS OR JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS NO CONFIDENTIAL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: INFORMATION THAT THE THE PD WANTED TO SHARE IN TERMS OF THEIR USE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NOT AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNCIL CAN ASK THE QUESTIONS THE GENERAL ORDERS THAT WILL BE ADDED, OR BEING CONSIDERED BY YOU TONIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: DEAL WITH THE MANNER IN WHICH THE CAMERAS ARE USED, IT DEALS WITH THE MANNER IN WHICH THE SITUATIONS WHICH THEY ARE TURNED ON OR TURNED OFF AND THE PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THAT INFORMATION IS STORED AND AVAILABLE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: PRESTON DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS BY ROLL CALL OR IS THIS JUST A VOTE.

KRISTEN WILSON: JUST A VOICE VOTE THAT'S FINE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M A BIT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OF A SECOND.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR.

HI HEY.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK SOMEBODY'S HAND WAS THAT.

KRISTEN WILSON: AM YOU VOTED FOR IT RIGHT, I KNOW YOUR SCREEN OKAY, THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: JOSH YOU DO DANIELLE TUCKER OPS TEAM DOES HAVE HER HAND RAISED AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY LET'S INVITE HER IN.

KRISTEN WILSON: DANIELLE YOU'RE ABLE TO SPEAK.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: THANK YOU SO MUCH JUSTIN YOUR TIGER EPSTEIN AND I JUST WANTED TO STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS POLICY WAS WAS.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: VOTED ON UNDER IN EXECUTIVE SESSION THERE IS NOTHING THAT WOULD MAKE THIS POLICY, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING WHEN TO TURN IT ON TURN IT OFF.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: THAT WOULD MAKE THIS AN EXECUTIVE SESSION MATTER, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS DISCUSSED, EXCUSE ME IN THE POLICE TASK FOR US AND, IN FACT.

[01:30:09]

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE PUBLIC FORUM AND IN PAST PRACTICE IN FACT POLICIES SUCH AS THESE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SUBJECT TO PUBLIC.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: REVIEW PRIOR TO APPROVAL UM SO I, I JUST WANT THAT ON THE RECORD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE POLICY, THE POLICY, I BELIEVE, IS PART OF THE AGENDA PACKET IS.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: NO, THE POLICY, THE POLICY IS NOT, WE CANNOT SEE THE POLICY IT ESTABLISHES GUIDELINES FOR RECORDING USE MANAGEMENT, STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL WE DON'T SEE THOSE GUIDELINES SO THAT'S THE ORDER SO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHAT I THINK WE, WE SHOULD WELL LET'S LET'S ASK GREG AND KRISTEN WHAT THE REASONING WAS THERE.

KRISTEN WILSON: RIGHT, JUST TO CLARIFY QUICKLY NO VOTE WAS TAKEN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, THE VOTE WAS JUST MADE IN PUBLIC NOW THERE'S CERTAINLY CAN BE A.

KRISTEN WILSON: PUBLIC DISCUSSION AMONGST THE COUNCIL IN PAST THERE HAVE NOT BEEN PUBLIC HEARINGS ON.

KRISTEN WILSON: POLICE RULES AND REGULATIONS IT'S BEEN A MATTER FOR THE PUB FOR THE COUNCIL, THE VOTE ON IN PUBLIC, BUT IT'S A MATTER FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION GIVEN THE SENSITIVITY OF THE DIFFERENT PROTOCOLS AND DIFFERENT DRAFTS THAT WERE BEING CIRCULATED AND CONSIDERED WHEN AN OFFICER.

KRISTEN WILSON: SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T USE HIS OR HER DISCRETION, BASED ON WHAT A PERHAPS A PRIVATE CITIZEN WOULD WANT DIFFERENT TACTICS THAT ARE INVOLVED, DIFFERENT RECORDING.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND OTHER OPTIONS THAT OUR BODY CAMERAS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ON THEM WAS DEEMED, IN MY OPINION, TO BE SUCH SENSITIVE NATURE THAT WE WANTED TO DISCLOSE THAT AND EXECUTIVE SESSION AND GIVE THE COUNCIL AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS, BUT THE POLICY THEMSELVES WILL CERTAINLY BE MADE PUBLIC.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND IF THE COUNCIL, THE COUNCIL DID JUST VOTE SO WE'LL PUT THEM UP ON ON THE WEBSITE.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: CHRISTIAN I JUST YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO TWO ISSUES WITH THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE AT THE POLICE OFFICERS DISCRETION ON WHEN TO USE A BODY CAM IT SHOULD BE A SET POLICY ON WHEN TO USE THE BODY CAM.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: AND IT SHOULD BE THE TIME IT SHOULD BE VERY CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC, AND WHEN THE POLICE ARE GOING TO USE THE BODY CAM SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: ON THE RECORD, AND THIS SHOULD BE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ON THE AGENDA, SO I JUST WANT THAT STATED AND AND AGAIN, THESE WERE THINGS THAT WERE DISCUSSED IN THE POLICE TASK FORCE AND I'M NOT SAYING IT SHOULD BE.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR FOR PUBLIC DEBATE, BUT THESE WERE THINGS THAT WERE ALWAYS PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE PUBLIC TO REVIEW PRIOR TO THE COUNCIL VOTING ON IT AND IT WASN'T IN THIS CASE, I THINK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: JUST TO CLARIFY DANIEL THE THE PROTOCOLS AND WHEN THE CAMERAS ARE TO BE TURNED ON IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ORDERS AND DRESS SO THAT IS THAT IS ONE OF A NUMBER OF SPECIFIC ITEMS ON THE POLICE OFFICERS DON'T HAVE THE DISCRETION UNDER A LONG SERIES OF ITEMS. GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OF ENGAGEMENT, SO THAT'S EXACTLY THE PURPOSES OF THE OF THE GENERAL ORDERS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO WE DID IN THE POLICE REVIEW ESSENTIALLY ESTABLISH A.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: POLICY FOR THE PUBLICATION OF POLICIES AND WE SHOULD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE SHOULD BE MINDFUL OF THAT AS WE GO FORWARD IN THE POLICY APPROVAL PROCESS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALSO GREG NOTED THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ON THE POLICE WEBSITE AS WELL, AND I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT THE POLICE CAMERAS WERE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAD ALREADY BEEN PURCHASED OR HOW TO PROVE TO BE PURCHASED BEFORE THEIR REVIEW COMMITTEE WE TOOK THEM ON AS PART OF THE REVIEW COMMITTEE AND WE'RE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE NOW TESTED AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED SOON.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THE POLICY WILL BE POSTED ONLINE ON THE ON THE BULLIES WEBSITE AS WELL RIGHT.

[5. Open a public hearing for May 19, 2021 to amend the Rye City Code Chapter 165 by adding a new section 165-6(F) City flag poles.]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: COMMISSIONER, A FORK AND HIS SENIOR MANAGEMENT AS LEADERSHIP IS GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE GENERAL ORDERS AT THIS POINT TO CONSOLIDATE FOR POSTING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A WHOLE HOST OF POLICIES IF YOU'VE BEEN ON THE WEBSITE LATELY, THE USE OF FORCE HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED BODY CAMERAS WILL BE POSTED WITHIN THE WEEK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND I WOULD EXPECT IN THE COMING WEEKS, THERE WILL BE A SERIES OF GENERAL ORDERS THAT WILL ALSO BE POSTED AS WELL ALL SUBJECT TO WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE THE COMMITTEE FAT YEAH.

[01:35:10]

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: HAD SAID.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE APPROVING SOMETHING.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: IT WOULD BE GREAT THAT THE PUBLIC COULD SEE.

DANIELLE TAGGER-EPSTEIN: WHAT YOU ARE APPROVING WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE APPROVING RIGHT NOW SO JUST JUST TO BE MINDFUL, SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I CAN ADD TO THAT UM IT'S KIND OF IN THE CONCEPT OF TRANSPARENCY FOR US TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS BEFORE WE TRY TO GET THE BACK, WE TRY TO GET THE AGENDA OUT ON FRIDAY BEFORE SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T GO OUT UNTIL THE WEEKEND OR MONDAY, BUT WHEN WE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING INTO THE MEETING AND THEY DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION AND THEY GET TO SEE IT AFTER THE FACT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE'VE ALREADY VOTED, SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE AND I'M NOT FAULTING ANYONE HERE I JUST THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT CHANGING CONCEPTUALLY HOW WE PRESENT THE AGENDA AND HOW WE DO THAT IN THE FUTURE TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT THAT'S ALL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OR NEXT ITEM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IS TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RICE CITY CODE CHAPTER 165 BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 165 SIX F CITY FLAGS AND THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS IS IN FULFILLMENT OF THE ADVICE WE GOT FOR A.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: REASONABLY SECURE WAY OF HANDLING FLAG RACING'S AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT'S THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE POLICY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IT HAS BEEN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET'S SEE IT'S BEEN OUT BEFORE THE PUBLIC AS OF OUR LAST MEETING AND LET'S SEE IF ANYONE HAS ANY COMMENTS ON IT LET'S OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, PLEASE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MOVE TO OPEN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OPEN ISN'T IT DIDN'T REOPEN IT ALREADY KNOW ALL RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'LL SECOND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR AYE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IS JUST THIS IS, WE GOT THIS FROM THE ATTORNEY YES.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, ALL RIGHT.

KRISTEN WILSON: WE HAVE SUED RUIN.

KRISTEN WILSON: EUROPE SO.

SUE DROUIN: HI EVERYONE I'M SO YOU JUST SAID, THIS IS A REASONABLY SECURE WAY OF HANDLING FLAG RAISING GREAT THINGS BUT I READ THE POLICY.

SUE DROUIN: UM AND WHILE I AM THRILLED THAT THE PRIDE FLAG IS GOING TO BE RAISED EVERY JUNE AND HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RESOLUTION, WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESOLUTION BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ESTABLISH A MECHANISM OR PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING A NEW FLAG THAT'S NOT ALREADY LISTED.

SUE DROUIN: SO THAT'S A QUESTION.

KRISTEN WILSON: SO, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO ADD TO THAT MR BEAR YES IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CITY CODE SO IT'S NOT A RESOLUTION IT ACTUALLY SIMILAR TO THE WAY CITY PROPERTY IS REGULATED IN A VARIETY OF ASPECTS, IT BECAME CLEAR DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF MEETINGS THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A A.

KRISTEN WILSON: A CODE PROVISION THAT CONCERNS HOW WE USE CITY FLAGPOLES SO CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY COUNCIL'S ACTION AT THE LAST MEETING, IT IS CODIFYING THAT.

KRISTEN WILSON: PRACTICE IN THAT IT'S THE CITY COUNCIL IT'S THE CITY COUNCIL'S ACTION IS TO SEE CITY COUNCIL'S DETERMINATION TO RAISE FLAGS ON CITY OWN FLAGPOLES SO IT'S REALLY CODIFYING WHAT THE THE PRACTICE HAS BEEN.

SUE DROUIN: OKAY, I UNDERSTAND, YES, SORRY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, NO FINE THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: IT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS YEAH I ACTUALLY SINCE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE ANY OTHER PEOPLE ASKING I'M JUST WONDERING, IS IT NECESSARY, BECAUSE.

[01:40:02]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN SPEAKING WITH LEGAL EXPERTS ON FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUES AND NONE OF THEM SAID THAT A FLAG POLICY WAS REQUIRED THAT WAS ONE OF THE LEGAL MEMOS THAT WAS PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL AND THEN OTHER.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LEGAL SCHOLARS SENT IN EMAILS TO THE COUNCIL BEFORE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN LAST NIGHT AT THE RIDE TOWN PARK COMMISSION MEETING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE WAS A VOTE TO RAISE A PRIDE FLAG THROUGH THAT BODY, AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION BY ANY COMMISSION MEMBER, INCLUDING THE MAYOR TO ABOUT HOW EVEN QUESTIONING WHETHER A POLICY SHOULD BE REQUIRED SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS MANDATORY SINCE IT'S.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE SEEING IN EVERY SINGLE LEGISLATIVE BODY OH, AND ALSO THE COUNTY HAS A FLAG RACING CEREMONY, AND THEY DON'T HAVE A POLICY SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT'S MANDATORY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I'LL I'LL SPEAK TO THAT OR KRISTEN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IT WAS NOT DESCRIBED TO US AS MANDATORY IT WAS DESCRIBED TO US AS A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MEASURE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL RETAINED CONTROL OVER ITS FLAGPOLE, THAT IS, THE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND SPEAKING OF POLICIES THIS THE CITY OF BOSTON DID ACTUALLY INSTITUTE A POLICY AFTER IT WAS SUED I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A GOOD POLICY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OR NOT, BUT THE THE PRINCIPLE IS THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE CITY DECIDING WHAT IS ON THE FLAGPOLE AND THE PURPOSE OF THE RESOLUTION IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS DONE IN A CENTRALIZED WAY SO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WILL THERE BE A POLICY AT RIGHT TOWN PARK FOR THAT, I MEAN THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION WHATSOEVER, THE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE THE FLAG RAISING ISSUE WAS THAT I THINK TWO MINUTES IN ITS AND THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHETHER THERE NEEDED TO BE A POLICY, AND I THINK RIGHT TOWN IS ALSO GOING TO BE RAISING ITS FLAG AND VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK IS ALSO GOING TO BE RAISING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEY SAID THAT IT'S TO DO WITH THE BEING INSPIRED BY THE GSA SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE SHOUT OUT TO THEM, BUT YEAH I JUST I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A POLICY AT RIGHT TOWN PARK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I HAVE NOT RAISED IT WITH WITH THEIR LAWYER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I DID NOT HAVE TIME AND CONTEMPLATION OF THE MEETING, YES, CREATED TO SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT LEGAL WORK THEY'VE DONE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT IT'S BEEN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST IT HAS IT HAS BEEN SO THERE WILL BE ONE IN JUNE, BUT THERE'S NO DISCUSSION I'VE JUST I'M JUST BRINGING IT OUT, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS IS REALLY NEEDED, AND WHETHER IT'S EVEN NEEDED FOR HOUSEKEEPING PURPOSES, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HAVING IT IN ANOTHER.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT TOWN PARK WE'RE NOT HAVING IT WE'RE NOT HAVING IT IN NEW ROCHELLE OR BEDFORD OR THE COUNTY OR RYE TOWN OR ANY OF THESE I JUST I'M JUST WONDERING WHETHER IT IS, AND IN FACT THE THE EXPERTS, THE LEGAL EXPERTS SAY IT'S ACTUALLY CAN BE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN BE A WAY FOR GROUPS TO LATCH ON TO THE POLICY IN ORDER TO USE THE POLICY TO TO PROVE THAT THEIR FLAGS SHOULD BE RAISED SO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I'M SORRY YEAH IT'S IT'S IT'S THE OPPOSITE SARAH IT'S IT'S EXACTLY INTENDED TO SHOW OTHER WAS TO SHOW THAT NO FLAG GOES UP EXCEPT BY DIRECTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO GO GO AHEAD JULIAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOW I HAVE TO SAY TO THAT END, I MEAN WE DON'T IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY SARAH YOU DON'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR IT THAT'S FINE, I THINK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OK, SO NOW WE GET TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING TO ADD CHAPTERS SMOKING TO ADD A CHAPTER 166 SMOKING INVADING TO THE CITY CODE AND, AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THIS IS THE FIRST.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: EFFORT RELATED TO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I CAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TALK TO THIS JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO, BECAUSE I ALSO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ATTENDED SOMETHING FOR MUNICIPAL IT'S LIKE A ZOOM OF COURSE FOR MUNICIPALITIES, YOU KNOW EXPLAINING SORT OF THE LAWS AS AS AND HOW YOU KNOW THE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE AS MUNICIPALITIES, AS IT PERTAINS TO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION AND WE'LL GET YOU KNOW I KNOW CHRISTIAN IS WORKING ON PREPARING AN ANALYSIS OF THAT FOR US AND THAT'S THAT'S FORTHCOMING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY EMPHASIZED, IS THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO YOU KNOW YOU CAN ANYWHERE YOU BAN SMOKING AND YOU CAN ALSO BAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MARIJUANA SMOKING WHAT YOU NEED, YOU WOULD HAVE YOU CAN'T JUST UNILATERALLY YOU'D HAVE A POLICY FOR THAT RIGHT, AND SO, BECAUSE WE'VE HAD INCIDENT INCIDENTS WHERE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE WILL HAVE BEEN SMOKING AND SMOKING MARIJUANA IN OUR WHICH TECHNICALLY, I THINK, IS STILL ILLEGAL BECAUSE IT HAS TO HAVE BEEN BOUGHT WHATEVER I WILL GO TO MY POINT IS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'D HAVE PEOPLE SMOKING MARIJUANA IN OUR PLAYGROUNDS IN SCHOOL AND PARKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND AND OFTENTIMES WITH SMALLER KIDS AROUND, AND YOU KNOW JUST AS A GENERAL PRACTICE, YOU KNOW SMOKING IN A PARKLAND IS PROBABLY NOT A GREAT THING NEW YORK CITY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BAN SMOKING AND ITS PUBLIC PARKS AND SO GETTING AHEAD OF THAT THIS WAS MEANT TO PROPOSE THAT THERE WILL BE NO SMOKING OR BEEPING OF ANYTHING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN OUR IN OUR RECREATIONAL FACILITIES WHICH ARE LISTED IN HERE AS WELL, AS YOU KNOW, THE NATURE CENTER VILLAGE GREEN PUBLIC TRAILS AND THE LAKE, SO THIS IS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW I'D MAKE THE MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS.

SECOND.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARE YOU ASKING.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A FAVOR HI.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WAS TRYING TO SICK.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL IN FAVOR AYE.

KRISTEN WILSON: IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH NANCY.

NANCY PASQUALE: CAN YOU HEAR ME.

NANCY PASQUALE: YES, THANK YOU UM SO FIRST OF ALL I THIS IS NANCY BASKETBALL I'M A RESIDENT HERE IN RIOT 131 40 STREET I'M ALSO THE CO FOUNDER AND COALITION, CHAIR OF REACT, I WOULD LIKE TO START BY THANKING THE COUNCIL'S FOR.

NANCY PASQUALE: FOR BEING PROACTIVE IN GETTING TO THIS EARLY, I KNOW THAT IN OUR RECENT COALITION MEETING THAT COUNCILWOMAN TO THAT ATTENDED.

NANCY PASQUALE: SUPERINTENDENT OF RECREATION SALLY ROBO MENTIONED SOME ISSUES AROUND BEING ABLE, YOU KNOW, LIKE HER ABILITY TO ENFORCE I KNOW SHE MENTIONED.

NANCY PASQUALE: PERSON THAT SHE HAD SPOKEN TO YOU TO GET SOME GUIDANCE ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THERE WERE SOME FOLKS ON FOR 20 DAY SMOKING NEARBY TO TO OUR OUR SKATEPARK OVER AT THE AT THE REC DEPARTMENT, SO I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE COUNCIL'S EARLY.

NANCY PASQUALE: YOU KNOW ACTION IN TERMS OF TRYING TO LOOK AT THIS AND PUT SOMETHING BEFORE THE PUBLIC FOR US TO TALK ABOUT SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND I THANK YOU FOR IT.

NANCY PASQUALE: I DO JUST WANT TO MENTION A COUPLE OF THINGS VERY QUICKLY REGARDING AND JUST OPTIONS IN GENERAL, AND AGAIN I THINK COUNCILWOMAN SOUZA FOR ATTENDING THAT THAT SESSION I WAS ALSO PRESIDENT THAT INFORMATIONAL SESSION.

[01:55:14]

NANCY PASQUALE: STUDIES DEFINITELY SHOW THAT THERE'S AN INCREASE IN YOUTH USE IN COMMUNITIES WHERE.

NANCY PASQUALE: WHERE WHERE IT WERE IN IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOUTH ARE EXPOSED TO ADULT USE SO IT'S THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR IN TERMS OF TRYING TO MAINTAIN PREVENTION FOR YOUTH WHICH THE EVEN THIS LAW.

NANCY PASQUALE: PURPORTS TO WANT TO KEEP YOUTH FROM USING AND AND SO HAVING A PROHIBITION OF YOU HAVE ADULT USE EVEN LEGAL ADULT USE IN PUBLIC SPACES, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHERE KIDS ARE PRESENT.

NANCY PASQUALE: IS IS IS VERY HELPFUL WITH REGARD TO PREVENTION OF YOUTH USE BECAUSE THAT EXPOSURE, THE MORE WE NORMALIZE IT, THE MORE THAT COULD SEE IT IN OUR AROUND IT, THE MORE LIKELY THEY THEMSELVES ARE TO US.

NANCY PASQUALE: AND ALL WE NEEDS TO DO IS WALK YOU KNOW IN THOSE AREAS SUCH AS YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT RECREATION FACILITIES, THE NATURE CENTER.

NANCY PASQUALE: YOU KNOW OUR FIELDS OVER AT HIS BRO ON ANY YOU KNOW SPRING AFTERNOON OR A WARM DAY, AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE JUST CRAWLING WITH KIDS SO APROPOS OF THAT I DID WANT TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT THE LANGUAGE, THERE IS A SECTION.

NANCY PASQUALE: AND I'M LOOKING AT ITS ITEM BE THAT TALKS ABOUT SIDEWALKS AND IMMEDIATELY JOINING, BUT NOT TRAVERSING THOSE THOSE FACILITIES AND I WONDERED.

NANCY PASQUALE: WHERE SIDEWALKS LIKE THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY COMPREHENSIVE LIST AND THAT AND I TOTALLY APPRECIATE THAT, BUT THE SIDEWALKS THE PROHIBITION EXCLUDE SIDEWALKS WHICH I ASSUME DOES THAT ALSO MEAN SIDEWALKS IN TOWN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YES, SO THE THE INTENTION WAS TO DEAL WITH RECREATION AREAS PARKS GREEN SPACE AND THE TOWN GREEN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO COVER YOU KNOW STREETS, YOU KNOW OR SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT TOWN.

NANCY PASQUALE: SO, SO MY MY SECOND QUESTION TO THAT WOULD BE DOES THAT MEAN THAT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE'D BE LOOKED AT LATER AS PART OF LET YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT THERE'S ONGOING CONVERSATION ABOUT.

NANCY PASQUALE: YOU KNOW, RETAIL SALES CONSUMPTION SITE, YOU KNOW, ON SITE CONSUMPTION IN TOWN WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED IN THAT DISCUSSION OR IS THAT JUST OFF THE TABLE ENTIRELY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WELL, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION I CAN JUST GIVE YOU THE RATIONALE OF WHY WE STARTED WITH WHAT WE DID, AND THAT IS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIND A BALANCE OF OF ADDRESSING THE MOST IMMEDIATE NEED WAY ABILITY TO ENFORCE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND YOU KNOW, THE CHALLENGE GETS TO BE THE ADULT MALE OR FEMALE FEMALE WALKING DOWN THE STREET, YOU KNOW THEY'VE BEEN ON TOBACCO AND THE POLICE BEING EXPECTED TO STOP AND CHECK TO SEE WHETHER IT'S TOBACCO PRODUCTS OR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: CANNABIS, AND SO WE WERE TRYING TO DO IS A VERY QUICK AND EXPEDIENT WAY TO DEAL WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT TASK AT HAND THAT THAT HAS COME TO LIGHT, BUT CERTAINLY THAT DOESN'T PREVENT THIS OR FUTURE COUNCILS FROM CONSIDERING OTHER LIMITATIONS.

NANCY PASQUALE: THAT THAT'S SUPER HELPFUL, THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION I APPRECIATE IT, SO THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD JUST MENTIONED AND AND AS A REMINDER.

NANCY PASQUALE: AND I AND AGAIN THEY KNOW IT'S A REMINDER THAT YOU ALL ARE DEEPLY AWARE OF, AND ESPECIALLY APROPOS OF THE CONVERSATION THAT THAT JUST HAPPENED EARLIER, YOU KNOW REGARDING PURCHASE STREET PLAZA.

NANCY PASQUALE: YOU KNOW, OURS IS IS IS, AS WE KNOW, A WALKING TOWN AND IT'S A WALKING TOWN THAT EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL DAY AND ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS AND WEEKENDS IS LOADED WITH YOUNG PEOPLE.

NANCY PASQUALE: IN THEIR KIDS EVERYWHERE ALL OVER TOWN ALL UP AND DOWN PARTICIPATORY SO I URGE THE CITY TO CONSIDER THE RAMIFICATIONS OF OF PERMITTING USE IN THOSE PLACES AS WELL.

NANCY PASQUALE: BUT I'M DEEPLY APPRECIATIVE OF HOW COMPREHENSIVE THIS LIST OF RECREATIONAL AND OUTDOOR WORKSPACES, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY ARE FREQUENTED BY FAMILIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN AND TEENS SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: JUST FROM IRVINE JUST CLARIFY ONE OF THE THINGS AND NANCY THANK YOU THAT SMOKING UNDER 21 OF ANY PRODUCT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE CAN, IN FACT, AND WOULD IN FACT BE ABLE TO ENFORCE ON PURCHASE READ A GROUP OF HIGH SCHOOL KIDS WHO ARE SMOKING, WHETHER THAT IS TOBACCO OR CANNABIS PRODUCTS, SO THAT WAS WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO FIND THAT THAT BALANCE.

[02:00:08]

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ME ASK THE QUESTION.

DAVID KENNY: WE WOULD REQUEST A WAIVER OF A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT UNDER THE CITY CODE THERE'S NO PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED.

DAVID KENNY: THIS AGAIN UNDER THE CITY CODE IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW BY THE CORPORATION COUNCIL AND CITY ENGINEER THERE'S ACTUALLY NO NEED FOR A MEETING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL.

DAVID KENNY: HOWEVER, WHEN T MOBILE FIRST FILE THIS APPLICATION BACK IN FEBRUARY, IT WAS REFERRED TO A CITY COUNCIL MEETING BY WHICH MY FIRM GOT INVOLVED AND I'M HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THE APPLICATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL, BUT THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT UNDER THE CITY CODE FOR US TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DAVID WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SWAPPING OUT EQUIPMENT THAT IS IS ESSENTIALLY SAME SIZE SAME LOOK.

DAVID KENNY: CORRECT I HAVE PLANS THAT IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO SHARE THE SCREEN, I CAN SHOW A BETTER VIEW OF EXACTLY THE BEFORE AND AFTER.

KRISTEN WILSON: YEAH IT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

DAVID KENNY: SO IF YOU SEE IN THE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND THAT IS KIND OF THE EXISTING CLOSE UP ANTENNA PLAN.

DAVID KENNY: SO WHAT WE'RE DOING ESSENTIALLY IS YOU'RE MOVING A LITTLE BIT AT THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING WE'RE MOVING TO ANTENNAS RIGHT HERE.

DAVID KENNY: AND WE'RE ADDING AN ANTENNA OVER HERE, SO THERE ARE SOME ANTENNAS BEING ADDED.

DAVID KENNY: BUT IT'S ESSENTIALLY IN THE SAME LOCATION, AS THE EXISTING ANTENNAS AND THERE ARE ALSO ANTENNAS FROM OTHER CARRIERS THAT ARE AT THIS FACILITY, AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE.

DAVID KENNY: SO THE ANTENNAS ARE GOING TO STAY LOCATED AROUND THIS EXISTING BULKHEAD AND IN THE SAME LOCATIONS WHERE THE ANTENNAS ARE SO THERE WILL BE AN ADDITION OF TENNIS, BUT THEY ARE THE SAME LIKE EQUIPMENT AND AGAIN THIS ALL MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ELIGIBLE FACILITIES REQUEST.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DID YOU GO BACK TO THAT PREVIOUS PHOTO THEY ARE PLAN, BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONES THAT YOU'RE ADDING ARE LIKE HAVE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OTHER LOOK BIGGER LIKE MORE TELESCOPIC LINDSEY.

DAVID KENNY: SURE IT'S A DIFFERENT.

DAVID KENNY: IT'S A DIFFERENT OUT SO THERE'S AN ANTENNA RIGHT HERE, AND THEN THIS IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS OPPOSED RU, WHICH IS A RADIO HEAD UNIT, THIS IS A ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT IT'S A IT'S A RECEIVER DEVICE IT HELPS WITH THE SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY IS ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY THAT'S INCORPORATED WITH THE EQUIPMENT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW BIG IS THAT, FROM A SCALE PERSPECTIVE, WHAT HOW BECAUSE WHEN I'M LOOKING AT ON THE LEFT LOOKS LIKE A SMALLER SMALLER AND LESS OBTRUSIVE IN TERMS OF OUT INTO THE WORLD THAN THEM I'M LOOKING AT ON THE RIGHT SO FROM A SCALE PERSPECTIVE, HOW MUCH BIGGER.

DAVID KENNY: SO THERE'S SOME ANTENNA INFORMATION OVER HERE, IT HAS THE DIFFERENT TENNIS CENTER LINES AND THE QUANTITIES SO AS THE EXISTING THE PROPOSED JUST TRYING TO SORRY THAT EVERYBODY'S FACES ARE KIND OF BLOCKING MY SCREEN WITH THE THING I'M TRYING TO ZOOM IN A BIT.

[02:45:06]

DAVID KENNY: SO THE EXISTING ANTENNAS ARE OVER HERE.

DAVID KENNY: SO THE EXISTING MODELS AND THEN WE'RE PROPOSING OVER HERE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, BUT THAT THIS NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME AS A LAYMAN I'M JUST SIGHS LIKE SIZE DIFFERENTIAL LIKE HOW MUCH BIGGER ARE THESE PROPOSED THAN THE CURRENT.

DAVID KENNY: STRIKE IT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JUST WHILE YOU WORK WHERE YOU WHILE YOU'RE WORKING YOUR SCREEN, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE ALL ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS SIDE OF THE BUILDING CORRECT.

DAVID KENNY: IF YOU COULD SEE ON THE ROOFTOP.

DAVID KENNY: THIS IS THREE TO OUR FRIEND AVENUE IT'S ALL LOCATED TO THE REAR OF THE BUILDING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

DAVID KENNY: SO EVERYTHING THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE ON THE LOWER ROOFTOP BEFORE YOU EVEN GET TO THE BULKHEAD THAT HAS THE EQUIPMENT AND THEN HERE ISN'T AN ELEVATION VIEW.

DAVID KENNY: AGAIN THERE'S EXISTING ATTENDANCE FROM OTHER CARRIERS AS WELL UP HERE AND THE EXISTING TENANTS ARE IN ESSENTIALLY THE SAME LOCATION, SO IT WILL HAVE COLEMAN ALMOST THE SAME VISIBILITY, BUT THE ACTUAL INTENDED DETAILS SIZES ARE RIGHT HERE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO THEY'RE ABOUT DOUBLE THE SIZE, THE ERICKSON IS THE CURRENT AND THE RFS IS THE REPLACEMENT.

DAVID KENNY: LEAVE THERE'S ONE OF EACH ALREADY THERE.

SORRY JUST TRYING TO CONFIRM THIS, SO I HAVE THE ACCURATE INFORMATION.

DAVID KENNY: YEAH I BELIEVE I BELIEVE THERE'S AN EXISTING FOR BOTH I BELIEVE THEY'RE JUST ADDING A COUPLE OF TENANTS TO THIS NEW WILL WE'RE GOING TO CALL IT A GAMMA SECTOR.

DAVID KENNY: THAT'S AND THEN THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL 10 OVER HERE, BUT THERE SHOULD BE EXISTING ANTENNAS HERE THAT ARE IN THE SIMILAR SIZE RANGE.

DAVID KENNY: AGAIN, ALL OF THESE ANTENNAS UNDERSTANDING THE INTEREST IN THE DETAIL HERE ALL OF THESE ANTENNAS AGAIN WOULD BE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH THE FEDERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING THE ELIGIBLE FACILITIES REQUEST.

DAVID KENNY: BUT THESE ARE THE EXACT SIZE OF THE INFORMATION IS PROPOSED, BUT HERE ARE THE R US THAT THAT WE WERE DISCUSSING EARLIER, I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE MUCH SMALLER THAN ACTUAL TENNIS SO THEY'RE VERY, VERY SMALL.

THANK YOU.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CINDY WHAT IS THIS REALLY A SWAP OF EQUIPMENT, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S.

KRISTEN WILSON: SUBMITTED FOR TO GET ON THE BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AGENDA BASED ON MY REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION.

KRISTEN WILSON: I WANTED MORE INFORMATION SUPPLIED WHICH MR KENNY DID IN HIS COVER LETTER ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES THAT DID MEET THE ELIGIBLE FACILITY REQUEST AND I, I DO BELIEVE IT DOES MEET THAT REQUIREMENT THAT STANDARD DOES QUALIFY AS SUCH.

KRISTEN WILSON: BUT IN ORDER TO VET OUT THAT INFORMATION HE DID SUBMIT IT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL REVIEW, BUT THEY WILL BE GOING TO THE VAR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO WHAT'S EXPECTED OF US THIS EVENING KRISTEN IS IS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WORTH WHAT'S THE TIMING OF THIS DO WE NEED TO ACT ON THIS AT THIS MEETING I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE'S ANY REASON NOT TO ACT ON IT AT THIS MEETING, BUT DO WE HAVE A SHOT CLOCK RUNNING AND WHAT'S THE STORY THERE.

KRISTEN WILSON: YOU DO HAVE A CLOCK THAT'S RUNNING.

KRISTEN WILSON: SO WHAT MY RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL IS TONIGHT IS TO.

KRISTEN WILSON: CONSIDER THIS OR ADOPTER RESOLUTION THAT THIS IS AN ELIGIBLE FACILITY AND THEN MR KENNY WITHIN PROCEED TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE VAR MEETING WHICH SEE IT LOOKS LIKE BASED ON YOUR SUBMISSION TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE CAR.

DAVID KENNY: IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL WE'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE BUT, AGAIN, YOUR CITY CODE.

DAVID KENNY: HAS THIS EXACT PERMIT PROCESS TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL FROM THE CITY ENGINEERING CORPORATE LOCATION COUNCIL.

DAVID KENNY: SO I'M REALLY I GO TO THE VA OUR MEETING IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION, BUT YOUR CITY CODE SAYS THAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.

DAVID KENNY: AND YOU ARE BEYOND THE SHOT CLOCK THE APPLICATION WAS FILED IN FEBRUARY THERE'S A 60 DAY REQUIREMENT TO HAVE THIS APPROVED IT'S A SHELBY APPROVED STANDARD MORE THAN HAPPY TO PRESENT THE APPLICATION TO THE VR BUT, AGAIN, THE FEDERAL LAW SAYS THAT THIS IS A SHOWER PROOF STANDARD.

KRISTEN WILSON: I AGREE THAT YOU KNOW CERTAIN STATEMENTS AND MR KENNY MADE YES, THAT HE APPLIED AND.

KRISTEN WILSON: AT A CERTAIN DATE IN FEBRUARY WE HAD GONE BACK I DON'T KNOW HALF DOZEN TIMES I ENCOURAGED HIM TO SUBMIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, HE ASKED.

KRISTEN WILSON: TO BE ON SEVERAL IT WAS ON OUR DRAFT AGENDAS THREE OR FOUR MEETINGS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL HE WASN'T READY TO SUBMIT SO NOW HE IS.

KRISTEN WILSON: EVERY BUILDING PERMIT AND RYE GOES TO THE VAR SO I AGREE THAT AT THIS POINT IT, IT DOES QUALIFY AS AN ELIGIBLE FACILITIES REQUEST, WE HAVE A WAY OF RIGHT TO INQUIRE FAST FOR THOSE STANDARDS TO BE MET, HE DID THAT HE DID THAT OVER 60 DAYS.

KRISTEN WILSON: BUT THEY SEEM WILLING TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS AND I EVERY BUILDING PERMIT DOES REQUIRE VAR APPROVAL AND RYE.

KRISTEN WILSON: UNLESS YOU'RE THERE ARE CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS, BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM HERE.
