JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AYE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY PURCHASE PLAZA.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: UPDATE WE'VE HEARD FROM THE CHAMBER AGAIN GREG, CAN YOU TELL US WHERE WE ARE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SURE, SO IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE YOU'LL SEE A SHORT MEMO I PREPARED ON MAY 28.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE AND I KNOW TONY CO ASH, ON BEHALF OF THE CHAMBER IS HERE TONIGHT, BUT LET ME THE.

[00:05:08]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT WOULD INVOLVE THE SAY TAKING SOME OF THE FREE PARKING ON PURCHASE STREET AND DOING BUMP OUTS FOR THOSE REQUESTED RESTAURANTS THERE'S A FURTHER REQUEST TO CLOSE SECOND STREET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHICH IS THE STREET THAT RUNS BY RYAN GRILL AND THE TOWN DOC AND TO PROVIDE FOR PAID PARKING SPACES FOR REFAELI IN THE BACK OF THEIR BUILDING WHICH THEY ARE NOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THAT'S THE THAT'S THE BASIC REQUEST, THERE ARE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS THAT THE CITY WOULD NEED TO OR THE COUNCIL WOULD NEED TO TAKE TO ALLOW FOR ADMINISTRATION OF OF THE PLAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL GIVEN TONY BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT FOR THESE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS TO POSSIBLY SPEAK AND THEN, IF YOU'D LIKE WE CAN COME BACK TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHAT QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND THEN WHAT ACTIONS WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN IF YOU'VE MADE A DECISION.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SORRY, BEFORE WE GO TO THAT CAN I GET YOU GREG TO EXPLAIN WHEN YOU USE THE TERM BUMP OUT WHAT YOU MEAN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TO PUBLIC SPOTS LET'S SAY IN FRONT OF.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RUBY'S WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE AS MANY TABLES AS THEY COULD FIT IN THAT AREA BEING SENSITIVE TO COVE IT AND ONLY TAKING THOSE TWO SPOTS, IT WOULD NOT AFFECT TRAFFIC IN ANY WAY AND IT WOULD START TO BE A COMPROMISE OF BOTH WORLDS IS THAT CORRECT GRAMMAR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YES, YEAH I'M SORRY THAT'S A IT'S A GOOD POINT LET ME, LET ME TRY TO GIVE SOME EXPLANATION BECAUSE I I GUESS I'M SO INVESTED IN THE CONCEPT OF BUMP OUT IT, I GUESS, I NEED TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT SO THE IDEA WOULD BE FOR AND WILL TAKE YOU KNOW ANY PARTICULAR RESTAURANT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IF THEY HAVE IF THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO OUTDOOR TABLES ON THE SIDEWALK IN A MORE TRADITIONAL MANNER, MEANING SAY IN THE CASE OF RUBY'S.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WOULD BE UP AGAINST THE BUILDING THE WAY THAT THEY DO IN ANY OTHER SUMMER ANY OTHER NON COVERT SUMMER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF A RESTAURANT WOULD BE PASSABLE PER BUILDING CODE AND PUBLIC SAFETY, SO THAT PEDESTRIANS WOULD PASS ON THE SIDEWALK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEN ACROSS THE SIDEWALK IN THE PARKING SPACES THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE RESTAURANT, THE CITY WOULD PUT BARRICADES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO PROTECT THE DINERS IF THAT RESTAURANT SO CHOOSE TO PUT TABLES IN THAT SPOT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WOULD LEAVE COMPLETE FREE TRAFFIC FREE TWO WAY TRAFFIC ON PURCHASE RATE IN A NORMAL IN A NORMAL COURSE SO FROM AN APPARENT STANDPOINT, YOU WOULD HAVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TABLES AGAINST THE BUILDING, AS THEY WOULD NORMALLY DO FOR A NORMAL SUMMER PRODUCTION, A NORMAL SUMMER DINING AS IT WOULD BE NORMALLY PERMITTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE WOULD BE A SIDEWALK PASSABLE AS IT NORMALLY WOULD BE, AND THEN THEY WOULD BE PERMITTED TO PUT TABLES IN A DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT OR SPOTS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THEIR RESTAURANT PROTECTED FROM THE TRAFFIC BY BARRICADES.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND BREAD, WHO WOULD PAY FOR.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHO WOULD SET THE STANDARD OF THE DESIGN OF THOSE BARRICADES AND WHO WOULD VERIFY THAT THE BARRICADES ARE SAFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS OR BUSINESS VISITORS WHO WILL COME AND SIT AT THOSE TABLES.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO THE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE WHAT WHAT I'VE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TALKED TO THE CHAMBER ABOUT IS IF THE COUNCIL APPROVED THIS THE CITY WOULD ACTUALLY INSTALL THE BARRICADES AND I, AND I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT IT, I TRIED TO MAKE IT CLEAR IN THE MEMO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CONCRETE BARRICADES THAT WERE USED LAST SUMMER SO IN TERMS OF ANYTHING ARTISTIC OR YOU KNOW, OR IN TERMS OF AESTHETICS OR DESIGN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WOULD BE UP TO THE RESTAURANTS OR THE CHAMBER OR WHOMEVER TO YOU KNOW, TO MAKE THOSE AESTHETICALLY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: APPEAL, YOU KNOW THE CITY'S THE CITY'S OBLIGATION IN THIS REGARD WOULD BE TO PROVIDE AND TO INSTALL THOSE PROTECTIVE BARRIERS FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY STANDPOINT, BUT THEN WE WOULD EXPECT THAT THE RESTAURANTS, WOULD YOU KNOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: PROVIDE THE AESTHETICS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND ONE LAST QUESTION, WE WOULD BE LOSING SOME FREE PARKING SPOTS CONCEIVABLY WITH THIS PROPOSAL, HOW MANY FREE PARKING SPOTS PHOTO WOULD WE BE TALKING ABOUT LOSING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 80 SOME ODD PARKING SPACES ON PURCHASE STREET IN TOTAL, BASED UPON THE FEEDBACK OR THE OR THE ASKED BY THE CHAMBER OR THE REVIEW BY THE CHAMBER.

[00:10:11]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT, AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR AND I TRIED AGAIN IN THE MEMO TO MAKE THIS TO BRING THIS OUT IS THAT ON THERE ARE PRACTICAL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: CONSTRAINTS AS TO WHAT PARKING SPACES, WE CAN TAKE FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, VILLAGE SOCIAL IS A STRAIGHT SHOT PART OF PURCHASE STREET THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY TWO MAYBE THREE SPACES IN FRONT OF VILLAGE SOCIAL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT ARE AVAILABLE WHEN YOU GET TO OCO, FOR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE OF THE USE THE TERM AGAIN BUMP OUT, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK CONFIGURATION THERE, THERE IS NOT A FULL PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF OKAY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND SO, AS MUCH AS WE'D LIKE TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY FAIR AND AND THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY CAN'T GET TREATED EXACTLY THE SAME SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S PURCHASE READ DOESN'T PROVIDE FOR THAT GIVEN SIDEWALK CONFIGURATIONS AND WE'RE RESTAURANTS ARE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND, AND I THINK THAT TONY IS YOU KNOW, HAS MADE THAT CLEAR TO THE RESTAURANTS THAT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU CHAMBER CERTAINLY UNDERSTANDS THAT I.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST WANTED TO, AND I THINK YOU DID PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE, BUT OF PERSONALITY FORGOTTEN, SO I APOLOGIZE, THEY ARE THE THE BUMP OUTS, WILL THERE BE A PERMIT FEE PAID OR NOT A PERMIT FEE PAID NO PERMIT FEE PAID.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE WE HAVE I'LL SAY RECOMMENDED, BUT WE HAVE ASSUMED THAT FOR THIS SUMMER, FOR THIS DESIGN AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS IN PERPETUITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE STANDPOINT, WE HAVE SUGGESTED HERE THAT THE CITY STAFF WILL DO THE PERMIT PROCESS IN TOTALITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND, AND YOU WOULD BE WAVING THE REQUIREMENT OF GOING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND, FURTHERMORE, WE HAVE NOT ASSUMED A NORMAL PERMIT FEE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FOR THE REGULAR RATE, YOU KNOW THE REGULAR SETUP OR THE BUMP OUTS, NOW THAT IS AGAIN THAT'S A THAT'S A COUNCIL DECISION BECAUSE THAT'S OBVIOUSLY FROM A FINANCIAL STANDPOINT, SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TO DECIDE, BUT THAT'S THE YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S INCLUDED HERE AT THE MOMENT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANKS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT ABOUT I'M CURRENTLY READING IN HERE THAT YOU KNOW, LIKE REFAELI ONCE THE SIX SPACES IN THE BACK RATE THAT ARE PAID SPOTS MESA WHICH IS NEW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEY HAD SAID THEY COME TO A COUNCIL MEETING AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT WANTING TO DO SOMETHING IN PARKING AS WELL IN THE PARK THERE ON THE OTHER, ELM STREET SIDE RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO JUST WONDERING IF THAT HAD BEEN CONTEMPLATED IN HERE, OR IF THAT WOULD BE YOU KNOW SORT OF ROLLED UP IN SORT OF WHATEVER AUTHORITY WE GRANT YOU TO ADMINISTER THIS LIKE LIKE LAST SUMMER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WELL, IF YOU I MEAN IF YOU WANT US TO TAKE PARKING SPACES IN THE CHRISTIAN YOU OUGHT TO HELP ME HERE IF IT'S LOT TOO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: PARKING LOT TO ME.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'VE REQUESTED.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ME NOT REQUESTED ANYTHING BUT THEY COME TO ANNOYING AND THEN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN IT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TONY TONY CAN PROBABLY CLARIFY WHAT THEY DID TALK TO US EARLY ON, ABOUT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WANTING TO USE PART OF THE PARKING IN THE BACK, BUT RECALL, AND THIS GOES BACK TO THE WINTER PLAN, THE FIRST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THING THAT WE REQUIRE TO THE RESTAURANTS, IS THAT IF YOU HAVE PRIVATE PARKING YOU TAKE PRIVATE PARKING FIRST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND I DON'T BELIEVE THEY COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEIR LANDLORD OF USING THEIR OWN PARKING OR THE PARKING OF THAT BUILDING, AND SO I WE YOU KNOW WE DIDN'T PROCEED WITH THAT IN TERMS OF THE PARKING IN THE BACK, AND OBVIOUSLY THEY CAME AFTER THE WINTER WINTER PLAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU KNOW TONY MAY BE ABLE TO GIVE SOME COLOR TO THAT, BUT THAT'S THAT WASN'T CONTEMPLATED OR IS NOT CURRENTLY CONTEMPLATED, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM, YOU KNOW IF THEY WANT IT PARKING SPACES ADDITIONAL PAID PARKING IN THAT LOT WE YOU KNOW STAFF CERTAINLY WILL DO THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW WHAT THE FOR WAVING WAVING THE OUTDOOR DINING PERMIT FEES, DO WE KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN A TOTAL DOLLAR VALUE.

KRISTEN WILSON: NOT MUCH YEAH.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT'S A IT'S A ADMINISTRATIVE FEE WE'RE NOT IT'S NOT A BIG REVENUE GENERATOR RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

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

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE OF THE ISSUES I HAD WITH THE LAST GO ROUND WITH THIS IN FACT ACTUALLY WAS BIG ISSUE FOR ME WAS THE HANDICAPPED PARKING PROBLEM YOU LEAVE THE HANDICAPPED SPOTS ALONE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS RIGHT.

WELL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE I.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THINK PAM I THINK THAT THERE'S ONLY, AND I WISH I HAD THE STREET DIAGRAM FOR ME, I THINK THAT THERE COULD BE POTENTIALLY ONE SPOT AFFECTED AS THE ONE I THINK AROUND LAPAN AND WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST, IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS, IS THAT WE WOULD WE WOULD RELOCATE THAT SPOT ONE SPOT OVER.

[00:15:10]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY PRACTICAL RESULT, OTHERWISE WE WOULD JUST TELL A PAN BECAUSE THERE'S A HANDICAPPED SPOT IN FRONT YOU CAN'T YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MOVE OUTSIDE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MY PROBLEM, THE PRIOR BEFORE WAS THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S OTHER THINGS ABOUT A HANDICAPPED SPOT IT'S JUST NOT BEING BLUE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE'S HAVING A DRIVEWAY SO SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO STEP UP ONTO THE CURVE IT'S HAVING SOME SORT OF A CUT OUT AND SO MAYBE THE SPOT NEXT DOOR MIGHT WORK IF THERE'S AN ABILITY FOR THEM TO GET AROUND AND GET UP BUT I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT WE ARE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT WE COULD BE TAKING AWAY THAT OPTION, AND I FOR SOMEONE WHO'S DISABLED, SO I WOULD.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WANT TO BE MORE CAREFUL I GUESS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY WITH HANDICAPPED SPOTS AND MOVING THEM AROUND.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO ENSURE THAT THAT THAT IT DOESN'T CREATE ANY SORT OF ISSUE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I GUESS THE ONLY AND I.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WISH WE HAD RYAN HERE TO TO CORRECT ME OR TO TO ADVISE ME, BUT YOU KNOW ONE OPTION WOULD BE IF WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE NET NUMBER OF HANDICAPPED SPOTS, THE SAME ON THE STREET.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WOULD BE POTENTIALLY TO LOCATE A TEMPORARY HANDICAPPED SPOT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT OR NEXT TO AN EXISTING HANDICAP SPOT, WHICH AT LEAST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: MAY, IN FACT, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE THE RAMP IT'S MAY NOT BE EXACTLY YOU KNOW FIVE FEET AWAY, BUT IF IT'S 12 FEET AWAY I YOU KNOW I JUST AGAIN I'M DOING THIS A LITTLE BIT ON THE FLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE HANDICAPPED SPOT BUT, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IN FRONT OF A PAN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE, I PROMISE AND THEN MR COACH CAN SPEAK IS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LOSING 25 SPACES.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, CURRENTLY WHEN I GO, I MEAN I WALK USUALLY, BUT WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR DOWNTOWN AT LUNCHTIME, FOR EXAMPLE, AND I'M TRYING TO GET A PARKING SPOT IT'S PRETTY TOUGH SO I'M WONDERING WHAT WE ARE DOING OR PLANNING OR THINKING ABOUT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THOSE WITH REPLACEMENT OR SOMETHING WITH THOSE 25 SPOTS, CAN WE DO SOMETHING, MAYBE AT THE TRAIN STATION.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR A MINUTE I HAVE A QUESTION PAM YOU'RE SAYING THAT BECAUSE I YOUR BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SINCE COVEN I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU, I HAVE NOT SEEN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LIKE A SHORTAGE OF SPOTS IN ANY OF THE LOTS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS IT, IT IS INSANE RIGHT NOW I DROVE AROUND I'M MY FRIENDS ARE LIKE THERE'S NO I MEAN IT'S A IT'S A WONDERFUL THING, BECAUSE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THE PURCHASE STREET IS IS IS HOPPING BUT IT'S JUST TODAY, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND PARKING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I DO THINK IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET MORE SO, AS THINGS OPEN UP BUT TO THAT POINT OF BEING ABLE TO FIND.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OTHER SPOTS THAT ARE FREE, BUT ALSO KEEPING IN MIND THAT WE EXTENDED THE METER PARKING HOURS SO IT'S KIND OF THIS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW YOU'VE EXTENDED THE NEATER PARKING HOURS AND NOW YOU'RE TAKING AWAY FREE PARKING SPOTS IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY SHOULD WE DEFINITELY SHOULD THINK ABOUT IN TERMS OF ACCOMMODATING PEOPLE WHO, WHO ARE DRIVING AND ARE IN NEED OF PARKING.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS THERE ANY.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WAY, WE CAN GO TO THE TRAIN STATION.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE, CERTAINLY NOT EVERYBODY IS GOING INTO THE CITY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE'RE HAPPY ARE LOTS NOT THE MTA LOTS RIGHT WE DON'T OWN THOSE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE HIGHLAND CEDAR LOT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU WOULD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: COME INTO HAVING COME THROUGH THERE THIS MORNING YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT HOW FULL THE EMPTY LOTS ARE BEGINNING TO GET I CAN'T I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT IT'S GOING TO BE HALF EMPTY, BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT IS NOTICEABLY MULTIPLE TIMES FULLER THAN IT WAS 30 DAYS AGO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NOW WE'VE NOT LOOKED AT I'VE NOT LOOKED AT A SOLUTION OF RELOCATING 25 BECAUSE I MEAN WE'RE TALKING 25 SPOTS, I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT HOW TO LOCATE 25 SPOTS IN THE IN THE METRO NORTH STATION, YOU KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF THAT'S SOMETHING I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BIG I MEAN I'LL JUST SAY BECAUSE I'M IN CITY IN TOWN ALL THE TIME, LIKE EVERY DAY AS WELL AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO FIND.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A SPOT IN ONE OF THE PARKING LOTS NOT ALWAYS ON ON PURCHASE STREET FOR SURE THAT'S LIKE WINNING THE LOTTERY RIGHT, BUT LIKE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALWAYS IN A IN A IN I THINK IN THE SUMMER, YOU START SEEING IT BEING EVEN MORE SORT OF YOU KNOW PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THIS SUMMER I THINK PEOPLE WILL GO AWAY A LITTLE BIT AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO I JUST FOR THE TIME PERIOD THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT I DON'T I DON'T FIRST SEE 20 SPOTS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

[00:20:02]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AT THE END OF LAST WEEK AND AT LUNCHTIME, AND I HAD A WIDE CHOICE OF SPACES IN THE LOT BEHIND JUNE AND HOSTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHO WAS IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL NOW MAYBE IT'S CHANGED IN THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I DON'T KNOW IT, BUT AS WE GO INTO SUMMER AND PEOPLE GO AWAY FOR LOTS TYPICALLY ISA AND I I DON'T FIND MYSELF TERRIBLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH AND I THINK WE'RE ALL SORT OF REFLECTING ON ANECDOTAL OBSERVATIONS YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH LOOKING INTO BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS IS DETER PEOPLE FROM COMING INTO TOWN, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND PARKING SPOTS SO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THAT'S I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING INTO AND ALSO, AND I WANT TONY TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK BUT WE PROBABLY SHOULD LOOK INTO WHAT OTHER TOWNS THAT INSTITUTED THESE TYPES OF KOBE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PEDESTRIAN PLAZAS OR BUMP OUTS ARE DOING NOW, THIS YEAR TO GET KIND OF A GENERAL FEEL I YOU KNOW I KNOW I HAVE A CONTACT ON THE TOWN BOARD IN LARCHMONT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEY ARE KEEPING THEY ALWAYS THEY NEVER CLOSED THEIR STREETS, THEY JUST HAD THE BUMP OUTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING NOW, BUT THEY ARE, THEY ARE CHARGING BY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE BUMP OUTS, THEY ARE CHARGING THE RESTAURANTS BY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE SO IT'S NOT BY PARKING SPOTS IT'S BY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE TOWN BOARD.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THEY TYPICALLY DON'T HAVE HUGE PROBLEMS WITH PARKING IN GENERAL, SO IT'S NOT A NOT AS BIG AN ISSUE BUT THAT'S ONLY ONE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MUNICIPALITY, IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE IN WHETHER THEY'RE CONTINUING ON INTO THE SUMMER OR WHETHER THEY'RE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CHANGING THINGS AROUND.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT IF.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT IF WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THIS WELL THE TRAIN, YOU KNOW, SINCE WE KNOW THERE'S.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE'S NOT THAT MUCH PARKING RIGHT NOW, AT THE TRAIN STATION, SO THEY MAY BE GETTING CLOSE TO FILL BUT THEY MAY NOT GET FILLED.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT SUSPENDING BETWEEN 12 AND TWO OR 12 AND THREE ARE 1130 AND 230 WHATEVER YOU THINK GREG PARKING TICKETING IN THOSE LOTS THAT WE CONTROL FOR.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR THE SUMMER AND SAID, PLEASE COME ON DOWN, YOU KNOW IT'S ACTUALLY SORT OF A MARKETING TOOL WE ARE GIVING YOU FREE PARKING.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND MAYBE THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NET LOSS WOULD BE IT'S PROBABLY NOT BIG I WOULD GATHER, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S THE TRAIN STATIONS, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE JUST AREN'T PARKING.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT EVEN IF WE TOOK REGULAR SPOTS METERED SPOTS, MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY IF IT BECOMES A BIG DEAL OR NOT, BECAUSE WE'RE GIVING SOMETHING TO EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT, BUT IF I BOUGHT A PASS AND I COME DOWN AT 11 OR 12 AND I NEED TO GO INTO THE CITY AND SOMEBODY ELSE PARKED IN MY SPOT, I GUESS, I WOULDN'T BE TOO HAPPY, BUT ANYWAY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEN, DO YOU DO THOSE SPOTS ARE YOU DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC SPOT, OR IS IT JUST A LOT IT'S.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST MAYBE I SHOULD MAYBE I SHOULDN'T SAY THIS BUT I GO OUT OF HARRISON I DON'T GO OUT ARISE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT IT'S IT'S JUST IT'S OPEN BAM SO IT'S IT'S ITS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE SO IN A NORMAL YEAR IF YOU WERE TO RIDE THE TRAIN STATION AND YOUR PARKING ALMOST AT THE AVON BILL, I MEAN I IT'S LIKE THAT NOW, BUT I'M JUST IT IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK WE'RE I THINK WE'RE WE'RE MAKING UP AN ISSUE THAT DOESN'T EXIST, I STILL DON'T THINK THAT 2020 THE STREET PARKING SPOTS ARE GOING TO CREATE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WOULD CREATE THAT SORT OF RIPPLE EFFECT THEY HAVE TO TAKE OVER AN EMPTY A LOT LIKE I JUST I, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER I JUST DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'LL SAY THIS, I THINK WE SHOULD BE ATTENTIVE TO IT, I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP OUR EYE ON IT, IF THIS STARTS AND AGAIN THIS IS WHAT FOR A FEW LIKE MONTHS OR WEEKS IF WE START TO SEE LIKE THIS MASSIVE GLUT, THEN WE CAN YOU KNOW WE CAN, MAYBE, CONSIDERING THAT BUT I I DON'T THIS JUST SEEMS LIKE.

WELL.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST I GUESS I'VE NEVER I AM SINCE COVEN I HAVE NEVER NOT SEEN SPOTS NUMBER.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND CERTAINLY GETTING TO BE A LOT MORE TRAFFIC.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S FOR NOW YEAH WE'RE KIND OF SPECULATING AND YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT REALLY BASING OUR.

[00:25:01]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING DOWNTOWN YOU KNOW WHETHER THERE'S AN INCREASE IN PARKING TICKETS WERE WHETHER THEY'RE MORE COMPLAINTS, YOU KNOW THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I CAN TELL YOU FROM MY YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT LAST SUMMER, NO PROBLEM FINDING A PARKING SPOT ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM EVER YOU KNOW, EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE LAST WEEK NIGHTMARE, AND MY FRIENDS, TOO, BUT AGAIN I'M ONE I'M ONE DATA POINT JULIE'S ONE DATA POINT JOSH IS ONE DATA POINT AND BEN IS ONE SO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TOO WE NEED, WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA TO TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND MAYBE TAKING AWAY 20 SPOTS IS A NO NOTHING BURGER AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT AND LET'S CONTINUE ON.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THE LAST THING WE WANT IS IS PEOPLE PISSED OFF ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY CAN'T FIND PARKING AND WE KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HAD IN PAST YEARS, FOR DECADES, ALMOST THAT PARKING IN RY IS A NIGHTMARE, AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: A BIGGER ISSUE IF IF WE CAN CONTROL THAT ISSUE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RICK WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE START DATE OF THE SUMMER PLAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I MEAN AGAIN JOSH IT IS IT'S GOING TO BE AFTER THE COUNCIL, WE CAN FROM AN OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT, WE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE BY JULY ONE, IT MAY BE ABLE TO BE A LITTLE BIT SOONER, BUT YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE WE COULD HAVE WE I CAN COMMIT TO HAVING EVERYTHING IN PLACE BY JULY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: NOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHAT MY MY PROPOSAL WOULD BE THAT THAT WE LET THE CITY MANAGER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SET IT UP AND THAT IF THERE'S A PARKING ISSUE THAT WE GIVE THE CITY MANAGER BROAD LATITUDE TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT OTHERWISE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE STARTING UNTIL WELL INTO JULY.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT'S THE END DATE PROPOSED END DATE YOU DON'T IT'S NOT LISTED HERE DO WE HAVE ONE ARE WE JUST GOING TO DO THIS AND SEE HOW IT GOES.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THROUGH LABOR DAY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WELL YEAH I MEAN THIS IS THIS IS YOUR DISCRETION OF HOW LONG YOU WANTED TO GO, I MEAN I I KEEP SAYING TONY BUT YEAH THAT THAT WE CAN MAKE, WE CAN MAKE THIS AS LONG AS YOU WANT TO MAKE IT UM BUT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S IN THE MEMO SORRY THE CHAMBER'S RECOMMENDING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: END OF OCTOBER.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN WE HEAR FROM TONY.

KRISTEN WILSON: OR, I CAN ELEVATE HIM OH.

TONY COASH: GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I TURNING JOHNNY.

TONY COASH: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS AND I KNOW IT HASN'T BEEN EASY.

TONY COASH: BUT IT'S IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY HEARTWARMING THAT YOU'RE THIS SUPPORTIVE TO TO OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES.

TONY COASH: OTHER QUESTIONS YOU'D LIKE TO ASK.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: UM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NO, I MEAN I I THINK WE'RE, I GUESS, I JUST WANT TO SUMMARIZE THE PROPOSAL WHICH IS LET'S SAY JULY 1 THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER, WOULD BE THIS BUMP OUT RECOMMENDATION, PLUS A FULL CLOSURE IS THAT SO FOR AROUND THE TWO WEEKS IN JULY.

TONY COASH: FOR THE WHAT HAPPENED WE MADE THAT RECOMMENDATION AT THE LAST MEETING THE MEETING BEFORE, AND SINCE THEN THE ALL THE RESTRICTIONS AND IT LOOKS LIKE EVEN ALL YOU KNOW.

TONY COASH: RUMOR IS THAT RUMOR HAS IT I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT RESTRICTIONS WILL BE COMPLETELY LIFTED BY NEXT WEEK SO WE'RE SORT OF IN A CHANGING MODE OF EVERYDAY WE'RE GETTING A DIFFERENT.

TONY COASH: DIFFERENT SIDE OR SIGNAL FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

SO.

TONY COASH: IT WAS WE TOOK OUT THAT THAT TWO WEEK FORECLOSURE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, NOW THE ONE THING I JUST WANT TO RECONCILE FOR THE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RECORD A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I KNOW I ASKED ABOUT THIS LAST TIME IS EVEN WE HAD SAID, IS THERE A WAY TO GO BACK AND SURVEY FOLKS A LITTLE BIT, KNOWING THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE FIRST TIME YOU SURVEYED THEM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I THINK YOU DID THAT YOU DIDN'T GET AS MANY RESPONSES, BUT THAT IT WAS EVEN MORE SKEWED TOWARDS PEOPLE AND THE QUESTION, I GUESS, I JUST WANT THIS FOR.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR POSTERITY I GUESS OR FOR PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING YOU SURVEYED WITH A VERY SPECIFIC SINGULAR QUESTION, DO YOU WANT STREET CLOSURE OR DO YOU NOT AND YOU HAD, I BELIEVE, THREE OR FOUR BUSINESSES WHO SAID NO, AND YOU HAD ABOUT 16 OR 17 WHO RESPONDED AND SAID YES.

[00:30:02]

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I BELIEVE YOU HAD A MIX OF RETAILERS, RESTAURANTS AND SERVICE BUSINESSES THAT SAID YES, AND THAT THE FEW IN THERE WERE ACTUALLY EQUAL NUMBER OF RETAILERS FOR AND AGAINST.

TONY COASH: THAT IS CORRECT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL RIGHT, I'M JUST SAYING NEXT, I KNOW I ASKED FOR THAT INFORMATION, AND I THINK THERE WAS SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, I THINK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I THINK JULIA, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT, I MEAN WHEN WHEN YOU UNDERTOOK THIS OR WHEN THE CITY UNDERTOOK THIS HOPE THAT ALL OF US LAST YEAR IT WAS SOLELY IN RESPONSE TO THE LIMITATIONS THAT WERE BEING SAID INSIDE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE ARE AT THIS POINT, VIRTUALLY NO LIMITATIONS INSIDE AND HAVING GONE TO THE MOVIES LAST NIGHT AND SAT ELBOW TO ELBOW WITH 30 PEOPLE AT THE BAR, I CAN TELL YOU, PEOPLE ARE BACK OUT SO ANYTHING THAT IS BEING DONE NOW IS, AT THE REQUEST OF THE RESTAURANTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW LESS OH FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND MORE SO JUST TO GIVE YOU KNOW, A BIGGER FOOTPRINT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH AND I THINK JUST THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE TO I THINK ON THAT WAS THAT YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO LOOK AT ALL OF THIS AND AND.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, SO I GUESS, LET ME JUST WRAP IT ALL UP BY SAYING WHAT WE'VE GOT IN FRONT OF US IS A RECOMMENDATION TO DO THESE SORT OF BUMP OUTS FOR THE FOR THE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RESTAURANTS THAT CAN PARTICIPATE, AND THEN THE I MEAN, I GUESS, I WOULD SAY I'M I'M HAPPY TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF YOU KNOW LATITUDE AS WE DID LAST SUMMER, AS IT PERTAINS TO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MEAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LIKE ARE WE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR LIKE ELM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN SECOND STREET WILL STAY CLOSED.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE OH MY DON'T SEE ON HERE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO MY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: LL IS NOT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WE WOULD BE PROVIDING THAT WAS PART OF AN UNTIL WE CAN CONFIRM THIS, BUT I'M A THE PIZZERIA AND THE LONG FIRST BOTH REQUESTED SPOTS, SO THAT WOULD BE THAT IS PART OF THIS, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T SAY PURCHASE RATE IS AS PART OF THE DOWNTOWN AND THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE BUMP OUT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO CLARIFY HERE, THAT IS ALSO IN THE MEMO IS THIS IS GIVEN ADMINISTRATIVE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: PERMITTING FOR RESTAURANTS IN THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT, AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE IN TOWN THAT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION PROCESS THE OTHER THING TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS THAT AURORA, AS YOU KNOW, STILL HAS THE SIDEWALK THAT WAS INSTALLED FOR THE WINTER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WOULD BE IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE NOT GO IN REMOVE THE SIDEWALK AND THEN BRING BLOCKS BACK.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT I DO KNOW THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH HOW THE REST OF THE RESTAURANTS ARE SO I DO PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO BECAUSE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WILL BE, IT IS A YOU KNOW IT CERTAINLY IS A BENEFIT, BUT AGAIN JUST FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT TAKEN THAT ALL OUT AND THAT THAT WOULD BE THE CITY TAKEN ALL THAT OUT AND BRINGING WALKS BACK END IS KIND OF REPETITIVE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

TONY COASH: IT ALSO ADD THAT SUNRISE PIZZA HAS CONSTRUCTED SOME FENCING AS WELL, AND THEY WERE QUESTION TO HAVE THAT GO TO KEEP THAT AS LONG AS THEY CAN RIGHT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RIGHT AT THE AURORA.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WELL, CALL IT WELL, THE AURORA SIDEWALK THAT WOULD BE PULLED AT THE END OF THE SUMMER PLAN, IN ANY CASE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT'S CORRECT THIS IS JUST I'M JUST SAYING TEMPORARILY THAT'S IN PLACE OF THE BLOCKS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALL AND AT THE SAME TIME, THEN IT'LL JUST STAY THE WAY IT IS RATHER THAN TAKE IT DOWN AND PUT IT BACK UP AND PERHAPS THE LESS ARE BEAUTIFUL FASHION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I HAVE A JUST A POINT TO MAKE ABOUT SECOND STREET I'VE HAD COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LIVE IN THE LOFT BUILDING CLOSE TO THE TRAIN STATION ABOUT MUSIC AT NIGHT FROM RYE BAR AND GRILL AND RIGHT BAR AND GRILL PATRONS USING THE PARKING SPACES IS UNDER THE LOVE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BUILDING AS A BATHROOM AND IF IT ALSO ISSUES WITH TURNING OUT OF THEIR PARKING LOT AND NEEDING TO GO THE WRONG WAY ON SECOND STREET WITHOUT SIGNAGE TO PROTECT THEM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND IF IF WE CLOSE SECOND STREET, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO BE SURE THAT THAT THAT THE THOSE NEIGHBORS ARE ARE ON TROUBLED BY IT THIS TIME AROUND.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH GREAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALRIGHT SO WHAT DO WE DO, DO WE MOVE SOMETHING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MOVE THIS PLANET, OH SORRY I JUST.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN I JUST BRING UP ONE MORE POINT ON THIS, I KNOW THAT THE AT LEAST THE REQUEST FROM THE CHAMBER IS TO GO THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER, I THINK.

[00:35:11]

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BLANKET AND WE CAN'T I MEAN, I GUESS, WE CAN ALWAYS JUST COME BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT, IF IT IS A PROBLEM, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE'RE GREEN TO WE CAN COME BACK AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT THAT'S ALL.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH I MEAN, I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY DO THAT ANYTIME, ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY THAT THE CHAMBER'S FEEDBACK WAS WHAT WAS VERY STRESSFUL FOR THEM LAST YEAR WAS SORT OF THE LIKE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THE BATTLE BY INCHES OF IT ALL, AND THEY WANT THE RESTAURANTS, WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAN THE BUSINESSES WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I THINK IF THERE WAS SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE LIKE IT BECOMES UNSAFE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT I 100% AGREE LIKE I THINK WE'D ALL COME BACK AND SAY WHAT WHOA TIME OUT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT, TO THE EXTENT THAT PEOPLE ARE PUTTING STAFFING PLANS TO TOGETHER FOR THE SUMMER, AND YOU KNOW BEAUTIFYING AND TABLES OR WHATNOT TO FIT IN THAT SPACE, THEN I JUST DO THINK THAT THERE WAS A BIG PLAY FROM THE PURCHASE FROM THE CHAMBER SAYING, PLEASE JUST DECIDE AND DON'T KEEP.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, MAKING US COME TO THIS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS A REALLY GOOD POINT I I, BUT I DO, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE AND I WE DON'T WANT TO DISRUPT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE MERCHANTS IN THE RESTAURANTS ANYMORE THAN THEY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, BUT I DO AGREE WITH BEN THAT YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT COULD BE SEASONAL SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE CAN HAVE A CHECK IN TO SEE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, DOES THIS MAKE SENSE FOR THE FOR THE WINTER IN THE SENSE THAT HEY YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE MOVING INDOORS ANYWAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR, OR MAYBE WE SAYING YOU KNOW THIS IS GOING REALLY WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY BRINGING PEOPLE TO TRY TO SHOP AND DINE YOU KNOW LET'S KEEP GOING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DO THINK THAT TO DO IT NOW FROM JUNE UNTIL OCTOBER IS A IS A PRETTY LONG TIME.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHY DON'T WE DO I MEAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MEAN, I THINK I THINK IT WORKS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK WE PROBABLY TOOK IT A LITTLE LONG LAST YEAR WE HAD TO LIKE THE END OF NOVEMBER, OR SOMETHING, AND IT DID GET PRETTY CHILLY I DO YOU KNOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK A CHECK IN MAKE SENSE BUT I'M JUST SENSITIVE TO THE PLEASE FROM THE CHAMBER THAT REALLY PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO US, PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, A MONTH AT A TIME OR TWO MONTHS, AT A TIME, IT WAS.

IT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WAS LABOR DAY WHERE THAT IS THE END OF SUMMER IT'S THE OFFICIAL END HE GIVES THE RESTAURANTS PLENTY OF TIME TO UH TO TRY TO DO.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT IS COULD BE AN EXCELLENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM YES, IF IT REALLY MEANS SOMETHING HAS ANY VALUE, BECAUSE WE ARE TAKING THE SUMMER TIME FOR IT AND THEN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SEE IF IT WILL MEAN SOMETHING AGAIN NEXT YEAR IF YOU KNOW WE CAN SEE WHAT THEIR NUMBERS ARE OR WHAT THEIR FEELINGS ARE, I THINK.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK, CONTRARY TO JULIE, I DON'T THINK THIS IS A POPULARITY CONTEST OR SURVEY, I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING HERE IS THAT THE OUR PRIMARY INTEREST IS EVERY BUSINESS SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IS WHERE WE'RE FALLING DOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS WE CAN SUPPLY IT AND IF WE CAN WE SHOULD DO IT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO TONY AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE MANAGER FOR WORKING IN A COMMUNITY ATMOSPHERE AND TRYING TO COME UP WITH A COMPROMISE THAT WORKED WITH EVERYBODY BRAVO TO BOTH OF YOU, THANK YOU.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST WANT TO SAY I DON'T.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ABOUT POPULARITY OR SOMETHING THAT THAT WAS A WEIRD COMMENT FOR ME AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS MEANT TO BE AN INSULT BUT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I GUESS I'LL TAKE IT THAT WAY RIGHT NOW, WELL, I THINK EVERYBODY'S WORKING TO TRY TO HELP THE CHAMBER AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE THIS ALL STARTED SO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO THIS IS THIS IS 100%.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT WAS BORN OUT OF HELPING OUR BUSINESSES, IT REMAINS THAT WAY AND WE HAD THE GREAT SIDE BENEFIT OF IT BEING A VERY POPULAR PROGRAM FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL, SO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I I WOULD YOU KNOW AS THE CHAMBER LIAISON, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THEIR RECOMMENDATION, WHICH IS THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER, I HAVE NO PROBLEM REVISITING IT AND ANOTHER POINT IF WE FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT WORKING ANYMORE, BUT AS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AS THE THE CHAMBER LIAISON I DO WANT TO PUT FORTH THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I'D LIKE TO ADD ADD TO YOUR RESOLUTION THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG TRIED TO IMPLEMENT IT BY THE END OF JUNE, WHICH I THINK GREG YOU'VE INDICATED IS APPROPRIATE TIMING, BUT THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT CITY STAFF KEEP AN EYE ON THE EFFECT ON BARKING AND THE AVAILABILITY OF PARKING IN THE BACK LOTS IF WE'RE IF WE'RE TAKING AWAY SPACES AND THEN WE BE VERY SENSITIVE TO THAT AND AND THAT THE COUNCIL WILL BE ALERTED IF THE NATION WAS OBSERVED SO.

[00:40:15]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I GUESS THAT'S OUR JOINT MOTION, AND IS THERE A SECOND.

KRISTEN WILSON: I'M SORRY, MR MERRICK JUST TO BE CLEAR IN YOUR EMOTION, ARE YOU ALSO AUTHORIZING THE WAIVER OF THE OUTDOOR DINING PERMIT FEE AND THE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FOR THIS SUMMER EVERY RESTAURANT EXACTLY THE SAME, WHETHER THEY GET THE BUMP OUTS OR NOT, AND JUST TRYING TO STREAMLINE THE WHOLE PROCESS, BUT JUST FOR THIS SUMMER.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND YOU'RE ALSO INCLUDING THE FREE PARKING FOR THE SIDEWALK SALE DATES.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH YEAH SHOULD WE MAKE THAT AS A SEPARATE MOTION I WOULD MAKE THAT AS A SEPARATE MOTION.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ARE WE ARE DOING A CHECK IN AND LABOR DAY IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOW YEAH I WILL CHECK IN BUT I MEAN IT'S RIGHT NOW, WHAT I WANT TO DO IS MOTION.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER, AND I AGREE THAT WE SHOULD CHECK IN, AND IF WE NEED TO MODIFY WE CAN, AT THAT POINT, BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PLAN AS THEY'VE ASKED.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO JULIE, THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITH WITH WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR, WHERE WE WERE TOLD WE DON'T HAVE THAT MANY.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HANDICAP PARKING SPOTS, WE ADDED MORE WE WANT THESE TO BE CLOSE FROM SMITH AND NOT FROM HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, SO WE DID ADJUST, AND SO I THINK IF WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, GIVING THEM A PLAN, BUT THEN SAYING IF WE NEED TO TWEAK IT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TWEAK IT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT, BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE SOME LINE OF SIGHT INTO OKAY, I CAN HIRE STAFF, AND I CAN KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOW, AND ANYTHING CAN CHANGE RIGHT, BUT AT LEAST THE INTENTION IS IT WASN'T.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THEIR PROBLEM WAS IT WAS A JUMP BALL LIKE ALMOST EVERY MONTH LAST SUMMER, AND IT WAS PAINFUL AND EXCRUCIATING FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED, BECAUSE IT WAS DOES IT COME DOWN OR DOES IT NOT SO I I GUESS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M SAYING IF WE NEED TO YOU KNOW FOR REAL REASONS DO SOME SOMETHING CHANGE OF COURSE THAT'S ON THE TABLE, BUT GIVE THEM A LINE OF SIGHT, SO THAT THEY CAN PLAN AND PURCHASE AND ALL OF THAT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ABSOLUTELY, SO I THINK WHAT WE'VE ALL AGREED, I FROM WHAT I HEAR IS THAT NOBODY IS IS ASKING FOR MONTH TO MONTH SO THAT'S THAT'S ONE EXTREME, THE OTHER IS, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT GOING TO OCTOBER, AND I THINK SOME OF US HAVE EXPRESSED, YOU KNOW LET'S LOOK AT IT ON A SEASONAL MAYBE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LABOR DAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CHECK IN HAVE A HAVE A MEETING SCHEDULED TO WHATEVER THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS IN SEPTEMBER, MAKE SURE THAT IT IS THAT WE COMMIT TO HAVING IT ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TWEAKS AND CHANGES.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN SEPTEMBER, SO I THINK THAT WOULD PROVIDE COVER BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT THAT'S STILL A BIFURCATION IT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DOESN'T FINISH SORRY FINISH.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THAT WAY WE CAN ACTUALLY YOU KNOW THERE'S A THERE'S A AN ARC TO IT, AND IF THERE ARE ISSUES WE CAN REVISIT THEM AND, OBVIOUSLY, THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY STAFF WILL WILL WILL DO THEIR TWEAKS DURING THE DURING THE COURSE OF THE SUMMER, BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT, I THINK YOU KNOW IS NECESSARY TO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S GOING WELL, BECAUSE WE REALLY WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A TON OF YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST SUMMER, THIS IS NOT LIKE LAST SUMMER, THIS IS LAST SUMMER WAS THE PANDEMIC THIS SUMMER.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BY LAW, THINGS ARE GOING TO BE OPENING UP.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LAST SUMMER, THINGS WERE CLOSED, YOU KNOW IF YOU READ HOW RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS WERE DOWN 23,000% OR SOMETHING LIKE HELP US OVER THERE WERE NO RESERVATIONS.

[00:45:02]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAPPENS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IF IT'S A TERRIBLE THING AND IT'S GOING POORLY BY BEGINNING OF AUGUST WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PIVOT AT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ABSOLUTELY, I TOTALLY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AGREE WITH CARE WITH CAROLINA WE'RE WE'RE PEER TO BE RESPONSIVE, WE MADE IN JULY WE MEET IN AUGUST WE MEET IN SEPTEMBER, I UNDERSTAND THE POINT JULIE, IS MAKING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OF GIVING THE RESTAURANTS, THE OUTSIDE DATE THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY WILL BE CONSTANTLY LOOKING TO SEE THAT IT'S WORKING WELL AND IF IT'S NOT WORKING WELL WE'LL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR WILL UPROOT THE BLOCKS AND TAKE THEM AWAY.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I GUESS THE IN A WAY, WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE THEN WE'RE WE'RE ACTUALLY KIND OF AGREEING WE'RE SAYING BASICALLY THAT WE CAN'T WE CAN'T COMMIT.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COMMIT IF I COULD JUST.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE IF IF THINGS ARE GOING, POORLY I GUESS THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL WE'RE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING IF THINGS ARE GOING, POORLY WE'RE GOING TO PULL IT IF THINGS ARE GOING WELL WE'RE GOING TO SAY CONTINUE ON.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, IN A WAY IT'S SORT OF A MOOT ISSUE, BECAUSE IN A WAY WE CAN'T SAY HEY WE'RE GUARANTEEING TILL OCTOBER, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE SAYING WELL IF THINGS ARE GOING WELL, SO IT COULD VERY WELL BE SCRAPPED IN A MONTH, SO THAT IS, THAT IS WHAT WE JUST BASICALLY SAID HERE YEAH.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO, AND I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S OUR HOPE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OUR HOPE IS THAT IT GOES RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CONTINUE TO ADJUST AND AND MODIFY AS WE DID, AND BE RESPONSIVE LAST LIKE WE WERE LAST YEAR, WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND KEEP RYAN ALL OF IT, I THINK.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHAT WHAT MY EMOTION IS IS TO GIVE THEM LINE OF SIGHT THROUGH OCTOBER ANYBODY KNOWS ANYTHING CAN CHANGE BUT IT'S NOT LIKE REEVALUATED ALL OVER AGAIN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND RE LITIGATED EVERY MONTH OR TWO MONTHS SO THAT IS WHY I'M I'M PUTTING FORTH THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE CHAMBER'S PUT FORTH TO THE END OF OCTOBER.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT MODIFICATIONS THAT THEY NEED TO HAPPEN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WILL CERTAINLY HAPPEN AND WE'RE GOING TO YOU KNOW ASK OUR CITY MANAGER TO DO THAT SO SO I JUST I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A SECOND TO THAT MOTION OR NOT SO, IF NOT I'LL SHUT UP BUT IT'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR A LONG TIME SO SECOND ENTER KILL IT I DON'T CARE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, WE DON'T WANT TO KILL IT SO.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE THING IS THAT MY ISSUE IS I DON'T WANT TO GO PAST OCTOBER LIKE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DON'T WANNA I THAT'S YOUR INTENTION OF THAT NO NO THAT'S THE END DATE LIKE THAT AND AND PAM YOU'RE ON MUTE, BY THE WAY, BUT, BUT THE CHAMBER.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE CHAMBER IS NOT RECOMMENDING PASS THEN EITHER, SO IT, YOU KNOW AS THERE SO I'M NOT EITHER I MEAN I THINK WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS LIKE EVERYBODY SHOULD JUST HAVE LINE OF SIGHT DONE END OF OCTOBER THERE'S NO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND AGAIN FOR NOVEMBER, BUT THERE IS THERE MAY BE MODIFICATION BETWEEN HERE AND THERE, IF IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BASED ON THAT I WILL SECOND JULIE AND THE MAYOR'S MOTION FOR THIS WEEK, INCLUDING A WAIVER OF FEE A.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FREE PARKING FOR THE SIDEWALK SALES WE INCLUDE THAT IN THIS AND A UNTIL THE END OF OCTOBER UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE GIVING THE MANAGER, A GREAT DEAL OF LEEWAY TO SHUT DOWN ANYTHING AND THAT WE PRIORITIZE SAFETY.

[4. Consideration of a new Home Rule Resolution to install stop light cameras at designated stop lights in the City of Rye.]

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PARKING LEVELS IF WE HAVE TO, FOR THAT REASON WE SHOULD SHUT IT DOWN IF IT GETS THAT TERRIBLE WHATEVER IT IS, AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE HIM THE DISCRETION TO DO THAT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: OKAY, SO MY QUESTION IS IS THE MOTION THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING THE LETTER FROM GREG TO US THAT'S PAGE AND A HALF A PAGE IN THE THIRD IS IS THAT TO BE CONSIDERED OUR MOTION.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT IS EXCEPT I WOULD PULL UP FROM IT, AND SO THAT THE THE TWO THINGS I'M GOING TO PULL FROM IT, ONE IS THE RECOMMENDED AND DATE OF END OF OCTOBER, FROM THE MEMO FROM THE CHAMBER THAT FOLLOWS IT AND THE OTHER THING WOULD BE A WAIVER OF THE PARKING FEES FOR THE SIDEWALK SALE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, SO WE NOW MOVE ALONG TO CONSIDER, EXCUSE ME CONSIDERATION OF A NEW HOME RULE RESOLUTION TO INSTALL STOPLIGHT CAMERAS AT DESERT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: EXCUSE ME DESIGNATED STOP LIGHTS IN THE CITY OF RYE, AND BEFORE WE GET GOING, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK OUR HIGH SCHOOL INTERN LUCAS LUCAS SENIOR GRADUATING FOR THE WORK THAT HE'S DONE AND PULLING TOGETHER INFORMATION FOR US ON STUFF LIKE CAMERAS THAT HIS HIS EFFORTS UNDER LIVE THE THE MEMO THAT WE HAVE ATTACHED TO OUR COVER SHEET GREG IF YOU TAKE THIS AWAY OR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FACT I THINK LUCAS WAS WITH US UP INTO A COUPLE NIGHTS AGO I'M NOT SURE WHERE HE WENT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BUT YES, HE DID THE THE BACKGROUND WORKFORCE HERE, AS YOU PROBABLY RECALL FROM A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: OUR LEGISLATIVE LEGISLATIVE AIDE TO SENATOR MAYOR ASKED ABOUT THIS IDEA, IN PARTICULAR, AND THAT IS WHETHER WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AND LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL TO INSTALL LIMITED LIMITED NUMBER OF STOPPED LIKE CAMERAS AND IN THE CITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE ATTACHED AGENDA PACKAGE, THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE THAT HAD BEEN PERMITTED THOSE CAMERAS IT'S BEEN OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEY TEND TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IF WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FORWARD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THIS DOES NOT DESIGNATE ONE INTERSECTIONS IT DOES NOT GIVE US THE ABILITY TO DO THIS UNFETTERED IN TERMS OF EVERY INTERSECTION THE TYPICAL OR THE LIKELY OUTCOME WOULD BE THE GRANTING OF NO MORE THAN PROBABLY 10 CAMERAS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT WOULD THEN BE A PROCESS FOR THE CITY AND I WOULD EXPECT THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE, OR TO BE INVOLVED IN WHAT INTERSECTIONS THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED THAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL THE, THE PURPOSE OF THE CAMERAS IT'S NOTES AND SOME OF THE ATTACHMENT HERE IS THAT, FOR US TO ENFORCE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: A SOMEONE RUNNING A RED LIGHT, IT HAS TO BE WITNESSED BY POLICE OFFICER WELL THE LIKELY THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS NOT VERY HIGH SO IT'S A IT'S A WAY OF ENCOURAGING COMPLIANCE WITH THE RED LIGHTS AT IMPORTANT INTERSECTIONS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A YOU KNOW, A REVENUE ASPECT TO IT AS WELL THE CITATIONS THAT COME FROM TRIGGERING A RED LIGHT CAMERA.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS NOT DOES NOT ACTUALLY GO TO THE DRIVER BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY OF DETERMINING WHO THE DRIVER WAS IT GOES TO THE REGISTER CAR AND IT DOES NOT INVOLVE POINTS ON A LICENSE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHAT ELSE I CAN, I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THIS AGAIN, I GUESS, I WOULD JUST EMPHASIZE THE ACTION TONIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IS NOT TO INSTALL THE CAMERAS, BUT YOU ASKED FOR LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL TO MOVE AHEAD WITH CAMERAS AND THEN THERE'LL BE A WHOLE SECOND CONVERSATION AT SOME FUTURE DATE IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL AS TO WHERE AND HOW IT'S ACTUALLY DONE.

[00:55:08]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YET, JUST A QUICK QUESTION WE HAVE POSSIBLE INTERSECTIONS LISTED FOR RED LIGHT CAMERAS, BUT SOME OF THOSE INTERSECTIONS DON'T HAVE RED LIGHTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND, AND SO I ASSUME THAT WE WOULD BE THINKING OF THE INTERSECTIONS THAT ALREADY HAVE RED LIGHTS THAT WERE WERE DID THIS BY ITSELF IT'S NOT AN EFFORT TO INSTALL MORE RED LIGHTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NO IT'S NOT THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, AND THIS LIST ACTUALLY CAME FROM I PASS THIS ON TO TPS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE CONCEPT AND THEY JUST SIMPLY PROVIDED SOME DATA ON CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS THAT HAD BEEN HISTORICALLY PROBLEMATIC, BUT NO YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT ADVOCATING MORE RED LIGHTS IN TOWN, IT WOULD ONLY BE ON EXISTING AT EXISTING RED LIGHT INTERSECTIONS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT, THE PUBLIC SAFETY PART OF THIS IS THE MOST COMPELLING I MEAN THE FACT THAT WHAT WAS IT WHITE PLAINS TALK 15%.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DECREASE IN INJURIES OR WHATEVER THAT'S AWESOME WHAT I HAD A QUESTION JOSH ASKED ONE OF MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS GRID IN HERE IN TERMS OF LOCATIONS, WHAT IS THE TEMPLATE DRIVEWAY ON BOSTON POST ROAD WHERE DOES THAT, WHERE IS THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK IT'S IT'S A BOSTON POST ROAD TEMPLATE DRIVEWAY AND THEN WE'RE LIKE NINE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I JULIA I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IF THE SNOWFIELD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT ACTUALLY THAT ACTUALLY MADE ME.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, ALL RIGHT YEAH I LOVE THIS, I THINK THIS IS SUPER SMART.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MEAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THIS 111 OF THE ADVANTAGES WOULD ALL WOULD CLARIFY, IS THAT THE WAY THAT ALL THESE COMMUNITIES OR COUNTIES DO THAT HAVE THESE FAMILIES AS THEY ACTUALLY CONTRACT OUT TO A THIRD PARTY WHO ACTUALLY DOES THE INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE AND ACTUALLY DOES THE OPERATIONAL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THE THE ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATION OF DELIVERING THE SUMMONS ONCE THE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY THE PD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO YOU KNOW, TO CONFIRM SO FROM AN ADMINISTRATIVE STANDPOINT IT'S NOT IT WOULD NOT BE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TODAY DO ALSO THE SO THEY ISSUE THE SUMMONS BY MAIL AND THEN BUT DOES THE REMUNERATION GO BACK TO THEM, OR DOES IT GO DIRECTLY TO US.

KRISTEN WILSON: THEY GET A CUT OF IT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN THEY CUT IT BUT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: I ASSUMED THAT BUT I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE AND I'M NOT SURE WHO RECEIVED A CHECK OKAY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL THAT'S NOT HERE, THERE ARE THOSE DOWN THE ROAD UM SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO ON THIS, I MEAN DO WE NEED IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, ONE IS HAVE WE APPROACH THE STATE OR THE COUNTY ABOUT INTERSECTIONS THAT OUR STATE AND COUNTY INTERCEPTIONS SUCH AS BOSTON POST ROAD AND LET'S SAY OSBORNE OR MIDLAND AND PACK EVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: NO BOSTON POST ROAD THE CITY OF ROME.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DOWN HERE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: YEAH I SUPPOSE FROM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITHIN MRI WE CONTROL THAT SECTION.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THOUGHT I'M SORRY I THOUGHT I'M ACTUALLY FAIRLY CERTAIN OF THIS, I WOULD, I THINK WE HAVE TO GET A PERMIT FROM THE STATE OR THE COUNTY TO, EVEN THOUGH WE WE MAINTAIN THAT ROAD THEY OWN THAT ROAD, AND I THINK WE HAVE TO GET A PERMIT FROM THEM TO DO THAT, AND SO I.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS THAT WHAT THIS IS, THOUGH, I MEAN LIKE MIDLAND IS ON HERE AND IT'S.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT IT'S LIKE STILL LIKE TRAFFIC AND AREN'T WE WOULD STILL ISSUE A SUMMONS FOR SOMEBODY WHO I MEAN A POLICE OFFICER COULD STILL PULL SOMEONE OVER ON MIDLAND HAVE AN HOUR OR I MEAN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LIKE WE ARE PUTTING EQUIPMENT OR SOME THIRD PARTY, MAYBE IT'S FUNNY THAT DOESN'T MEAN I JUST ANSWERED MY QUESTION, THE THIRD PARTY IS PUTTING EQUIPMENT ON CAN CONCEIVABLY STATE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR COUNTY BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS IS PAM THAT THE ACTION IS TO ASK THE STATE FOR PERMISSION.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO DO THIS, AND RIGHT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: NOW THE GENERAL.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ISN'T IT TO BE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO BE CLEAR, WE ARE ASKING THE LEGISLATURE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: RIGHT TO APPROVE OUR ABILITY TO INSTALL STOP LIGHT CAMERAS AT CERTAIN UNNAMED INTERSECTIONS WHETHER WE CAN DO THAT AT, FOR EXAMPLE, TECH AND NETHERLAND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: MAY BE IMPACTED OR WOULD BE IMPACTED POTENTIALLY BY THAT GOVERNANCE BY THE COUNTY OF THE MIDDLE AND DIRECTION, BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE DIRECTION WE HAVE NOT YET AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVE NOT DONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KIND OF.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT RESEARCH YET TO MAKE THAT WHICH IS THE REASON WHY I SAID THAT WE, THE SECOND STAGE OF THIS IS, IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL, WHAT INTERSECTION WITH THAT WE WOULD WE DO, AND THE PROCESS THAT IN ORDER TO DO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT WHY COULDN'T WE DO ALL OF THAT IN ONE FELL SWOOP.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THIS IS A STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTION UNDER HOMEWORLD POWER TO ALLOW US TO DO IT JUST DOES NOT SPEAK TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

[01:00:11]

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO THEN.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MY SECOND QUESTION IS HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THE FEE WOULD BE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT'S FOR THIS, I MEAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT'S A IT'S A STATE I BELIEVE CHRISTINA IT'S A STANDARD $50 FEE IS WHAT HAS BEEN SET BY BY THE STATE FOR OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES, IT'S A $50 MAXIMUM FINE THERE'S A $25 LATE FEE.

KRISTEN WILSON: THAT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE OBLIGATED TO DEFINE VIOLATORS FOR.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, AND PAM IS EXAMPLES IN HERE LIKE YONKERS ASSESSED AS A PUBLIC SAFETY FEE ON TOP OF IT AT $15 IT LOOKS LIKE NASSAU COUNTY JACKS IT UP TO $150 SO THERE'S DISCRETION, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE MINIMUM IS 50 ON A STATE LEVEL IS THAT TRUE.

KRISTEN WILSON: YEAH SO THE MAXIMUM.

KRISTEN WILSON: THE MAXIMUM FINE UNDER SO WE'RE ASKING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW UNDER NEW YORK STATE LAW.

KRISTEN WILSON: SPECIFIC SECTION DEALING WITH VIOLATIONS OF RED LIGHTS, THE MAXIMUM FINE IS $50 UNDER THE STATE LAW WHAT OTHER MUNICIPALITIES HAVE DONE ON THEIR OWN IS.

KRISTEN WILSON: ADD THIS ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A VARIETY OF FEEDBACK AS TO WHETHER THAT WORKS OR NOT, BUT THE MAXIMUM FINE UNDER STATE LAW IS $50.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO BACK TO MY QUESTION, IF WE FIGURE OUT THAT IT COSTS US.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I DON'T KNOW TO USE THIS THIRD PARTY AND AND OR OUR POLICE OFFICERS TO HELP IDENTIFY INTERSECTIONS DO THE ANALYSIS REGULAR BASIS, TO SEE IF IT SHOULD STAY THERE IF IT COSTS US LET'S SAY $100 PER PICTURE THAT'S TAKEN, THEN WE CAN WE CAN GET THAT MONEY BACK FROM THE THE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE ABUSER OF THE RED LIGHT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR US GUYS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE TICKET SEE YOU CHANGE THE TICKET FEE TO RECOUP YOUR COSTS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S SMART.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S SMART.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND TO AND TO ADD TO THAT YES, SO THE WAY THE WAY ADMINISTRATIVE LEE AND WE'RE HAS WORKED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS, IS THAT WE CONTRACT OUT TO A THIRD PARTY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEY REMIT TO US I'LL JUST SAY 75% OR TWO THIRDS OF THE AMOUNT COLLECTED THEY KEEP THE OTHER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO THE EXTENT AND I GUESS IT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT IS JUST LIKE WE DO WITH THE HOTEL MOTEL TAX, WE ARE REQUIRED TO GO BACK TO THE LEGISLATURE ON A PERIODIC BASIS TO REQUEST.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT MEANS THAT WE MAY DECIDE THE CITY MAY DECIDE AFTER THREE YEARS, FOR WHATEVER THE REASON IS, THIS IS NOT A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD IN FACT BE THE END, BUT YOU ALSO DO HAVE THE DISCRETION, WE DO ALSO HAVE THE DISCRETION COUNCIL DOES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO HAVE ADDITIONAL AN ADDITIONAL FEE, OVER AND ABOVE THAT, THE STATE STANDARD IF WE DETERMINED IT EITHER COST READING HER OR OTHER FOR OTHER REASONS, YOU WANT TO DO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO AT THIS POINT, THERE ARE NO DETAILS WE'RE NOT FIGURING THAT OUT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: NOW, IN THIS RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW BEFORE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE LEGISLATURE AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHERE HOW MUCH AND ALL AND WHO, AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF AT A LATER DATE YEAH.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S THAT'S EXACTLY MY QUESTION.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: RIGHT SO WE'RE ALL WE'RE DOING TODAY IS YOU'RE YOU'RE AUTHORIZING US TO HAVE OUR LEGISLATIVE AIDE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ADD THIS TO THE PACKAGE THAT WOULD GO TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE WE MAY COME BACK IN FIVE MONTHS AND SAY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE WAS WE WEREN'T SUCCESSFUL THEY SAID NO, OR THEY MAY BE, WE ARE SUCCESSFUL, WE GET SIX CAMERAS AND THEN IT'S A MATTER OF WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF WHERE AND HOW AND WHY AND ADMINISTRATIVELY, HOW TO DO IT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, BUT GREG I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT WHAT THIS IS MY QUESTION LIKE YOU SAID SO WE COME THEY COME BACK AND THEY SAY SIX CAMERAS.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE ARE RECOMMENDING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CAMERAS WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND THE FEE, SO THAT WHEN THEY DO THE HOME RULE LAW THEY'LL ALL OF THAT WILL BE INCLUDED, OR DO WE DO THAT LOCAL LAW AFTER ALL THEY'RE DOING IS AUTHORIZING USES OF THE CAMERA INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE 50 $50 IS AS A IS A STATE STANDARD.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE REQUEST, IF THE CITY WANTS TO DO MORE THAN THAT THAT'S A LOCAL LAW AFTER THE FACT, TO TO TACK ON CHRISTIAN IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF CAMERAS I BELIEVE WE'RE GETTING GUIDANCE ON WHAT THE REQUEST SHOULD BE, BUT I CAN'T.

SO.

KRISTEN WILSON: TO GET THE LEGISLATIVE AIDE FROM SHELLEY MAYOR'S OFFICE THAT I WAS SPEAKING TO, BUT HE.

KRISTEN WILSON: THING I MEAN IT USUALLY WE'RE MUNICIPALITIES ARE GIVEN A SMALL ALLOTMENT OF CAMERAS, THE FIRST GO AROUND AND THEN.

KRISTEN WILSON: WHITE PLAINS, HAS RECEIVED ADDITIONAL CAMERAS EVERY THREE YEARS OR FIVE YEARS, WHENEVER THE LEGISLATION SUNSETS SO HIS.

[01:05:04]

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN I ASK A QUESTION, IF WE THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT WE'RE GOING TO WANT TO DO BECAUSE PAM RAISED THE NUANCE THAT I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEN HAVING TO SEEK APPROVAL IS THAT SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE DUAL TRACKING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, SO THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT MAYBE FASTER BECAUSE I MEAN THINK ABOUT LIKE FIVE LIKE THESE, THESE WHERE THERE IS A.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY I LIKE THE DATA DRIVEN APPROACH WHERE THERE'S THE NUMBER MOST HIGHEST NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS, IS WHERE WE SHOULD GO, BUT IN THE CASES THAT THERE AREN'T LIGHTS THERE, WE SHOULD DIG DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE, I KNOW, LIKE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FIVE POINTS AND YOUR KELLY'S THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A COMPLAINT AREA RIGHT I ALMOST GOT I ALMOST ACTUALLY GOT HIT BY SOMEBODY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RACING THROUGH A RED LIGHT, THE OTHER DAY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO I MEAN, TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE ARE ROADS LIKE MIDLAND OR WHATEVER THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR JURISDICTION AND MIGHT REQUIRE APPROVAL.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN WE GET SOME OF THOSE IN MOTION DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, BUT AT LEAST GET THE APPROVALS IF WE DO GET YOU KNOW IF WE DO PASS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT WAITING AND THEN WAITING AND THEN WAITING YES.

[5. Open a public hearing to establish the assessment for the Kirby Lane South Sewer District.]

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THAT, OVER TIME, THAT PROBLEM DECREASES AND WE HAVE AN INCREASED PROBLEM AT MIDLAND AND GRACE CHURCH, CAN WE MOVE THE CAMERA MAYBE THAT'S A BAD EXAMPLE BECAUSE WE GOT COUNTY PROPERTY THERE BUT LET'S SAY TO SOMEPLACE WHERE IT'S ALL RICE CITY CAN ARE THEY MOVABLE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YES.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: YEAH YEAH.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU HAVE A RED LIGHT CAMERA, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A WARNING SYSTEM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SIGNAGE THAT SAYS YOU'RE APPROACHING OR FOR THIS INTERSECTION HAS A CAMERA SO ONCE YOU VET THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION AND YOU PUT UP THE SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: CHEAP TO BETWEEN STAR, IF YOU WANT TO MOVE IT YOU GOT TO ALSO DO UP TO ME.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: A FINANCIAL, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY PERSPECTIVE AS TO WHY YOU'D WANT TO MOVE IT, I BELIEVE THE ANSWER WOULD BE YOU COULD, IF YOU CAN JUSTIFY IT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: YOU MAY OR MAY NOT NEED STATE APPROVAL, BUT ONCE THEY'RE INSTALLED, THEY TEND TO BE PERMANENT THAT'S THAT'S MY ANSWER TO THAT THERE'S SO MUCH GOES INVOLVED IN INSTALLING THEM I DON'T MEAN JUST PHYSICALLY FROM ELECTRICIANS POINT OF VIEW.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: OR SIGN IS.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: YOUR BUT YOU'RE PUTTING IT THERE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE EVIDENCE, WHERE YOU WANT TO HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THIS THIS INTERSECTION IS DANGEROUS, WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: AWARE, AND ONE WAY OF DOING IT IS TO HAVE THAT LIKE OFF KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE CAMERAS GO OFF AT NIGHT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE, WHATEVER INTERSECTION YOU PICK IS NOT TOO CLOSE TO A RESIDENTIAL AREA, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE GOES THROUGH A RED LIGHT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: THAT FLASH IS GOING TO GO OFF AND YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF SAFETY IS COMPLAINTS FROM.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: RESIDENTS ARE SAYING I GOT A HUGE FLASH TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING BECAUSE SOMEONE DIDN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP SO YOU KNOW WE PICK UP THE INTERSECTIONS THAT WE WANT, WE DO THE PROPER VETTING.

RICHARD MECCA DEPUTY MAYOR: HOPEFULLY WE WON'T NEED TO MOVE THEM, BUT ONE ONE WAY OF MOVING THEM PAM WOULD BE THAT THEY WERE SO SUCCESSFUL THAT THEY'RE NO LONGER PRODUCING REVENUE THAT'D BE A BIG WIN FOR US, YES.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND TO RICHARD'S.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: POINT I SUSPECT THAT THE, THE ISSUE IS PROBABLY ABATED BY THE PRESENCE OF THE SIGNS THAT IS BECOMES A DETERRENCE SO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THERE, THERE ARE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: SOME THERE, THERE ARE THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE PUT UP DUMMY CAMERAS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, WE NOW GO TO AN UPDATE ON THE RIDE TV TRANSITION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND POTENTIALLY AUTHORIZED THE CITY MANAGER AND CORPORATION COUNSEL TO NEGOTIATE AND LOVE US WITH RYE FREE READING ROOM AND THE RIGHT ART CENTER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: KRISTIN GREG.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: RIGHT I GO ON ALL THE WAY BACK TO DECEMBER OF 2019 THE COUNCIL PASSED A RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: INVESTIGATE AND RECOMMEND THE TRANSITIONING OF THE NON GOVERNMENTAL ASPECTS OF RIGHT TV TO OTHER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TWO OTHER OPTIONS EITHER BE A SINGLE NOT FOR PROFIT, A COMMENT COLLECTION OF NOT FOR PROFITS OR A NEW ENTITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALTHOUGH THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, WE WERE A LITTLE LATE IN THAT PROCESS, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IN THE LAST REALLY OVER THE LAST YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF WE'VE BEEN IN REGULAR DISCUSSIONS PRIMARILY WITH THE LIBRARY AND THE ART CENTER ABOUT ABOUT RIGHT TV AND IN PARTICULAR THE THE PUBLIC ASPECTS TO IT, THE NON GOVERNMENTAL ASPECTS TO IT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEY HAVE BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY COLLABORATIVE AND HELPFUL IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BOTH VERY, VERY YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID VERY, VERY SUPPORTIVE AND VERY ACTIVE AND VERY ENGAGED WHAT YOU HAVE IN THIS AGENDA PACKAGES A MEMORANDUM ADDRESS TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOUR THE SEVEN OF YOU, THAT WOULD INVOLVE A A TRANSITION OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR, ALL NON GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMMING PRODUCTION, ETC, TO TO THE ART CENTER AND TO THE LIBRARY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHEN WE ORIGINALLY WERE LOOKING AT THIS, WE WERE THINKING POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME COMBINATION OF A NEW ENTITY THAT WOULD BE THE TWO OF THEM, POTENTIALLY OTHER PARTNERS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND WHAT WE CAME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE EASIER OR THE MORE PRACTICAL WAY OF TRANSITION IS TO ACTUALLY ASSIGN CERTAIN ACTIVITIES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO THE LIBRARY, WHICH ARE IN THEIR WEAK SPOTS ARE IN THEIR IN THEIR CORE COMPETENCY, AND THE SAME FOR THE ART CENTER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND ONCE WE GOT TO THAT DECISION THINGS FELL IN PLACE VERY, VERY WELL, SO WHAT YOU HAVE IN THIS SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS IS FOR.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: US TO BEGIN THAT TRY THAT TRANSITION WHICH WOULD INVOLVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT LIMITED NUMBER OF LEGAL STEPS AND A COUPLE OF MORE PRACTICAL STEPS, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WILL NEED TO IDENTIFY AN INVENTORY OF EQUIPMENT WHICH EACH OF THOSE ENTITIES WILL.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: RECEIVE, WE WILL NEED TO SURPLUS CERTAIN EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO NEED, BUT WILL ALSO NEED, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ENABLE KRISTEN TO MYSELF TO NEGOTIATE A MEMO OF UNDERSTANDING, THERE WILL BE BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO YOU WHAT A FUTURE DATE THAT WILL ENUMERATE WHAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES ACTUALLY ARE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU SEE WHAT ELSE I NOT INCLUDED HERE I AM RECOMMENDING OR WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THERE'S A CREATION, THE CREATION OF A TRANSITION COMMITTEE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT WILL HAVE A LIMITED PURPOSE AND ELIMINATED LIFE, AND THAT IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE COUNCIL IS INVOLVED, AS WELL AS EACH OF THOSE ENTITIES IN THE MALL AND THE TRANSITION THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS YEAR, AND THAT IT IS IN KEEPING WITH YOU KNOW WITH WITH YOUR WITH THE CITY'S WISHES, AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE OTHER LIBRARY AND HEART CENTER.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE OTHER JUST A COUPLE OF NOTES, AS YOU KNOW, WE RECEIVED OUR FRANCHISE FEES.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WHICH ARE I CALL IT IN THE PAST SALES TAX OR EXCISE TAX THAT THE RESIDENTS PAID THAT WILL REMAIN WITH THE CITY, THE PEG MONIES WHICH WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF RENEGOTIATING NOW WITH ALL TEASE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: ALREADY, TO BE USED FOR BOTH PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL EQUIP AND SO ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS WOULD BE PARTICULARLY IN THE CASE OF THE LIBRARY THAT, TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY HAVE EQUIPMENT NEEDS RELATED TO THE PUBLIC TV STATION THAT THEY WOULD BE RECEIVING A PORTION OF THAT MONEY AS NEEDED.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH THE LIBRARY WITH CHRIS IS THAT THAT HIS REQUEST OR THEIR REQUEST FOR THAT WOULD COME DURING A NORMAL BUDGET CYCLE AND WOULD BE CONSIDERED AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERING THE BUDGET ANNUAL BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR THE LIBRARY.

[01:20:11]

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL, I HAVE A SUGGESTION I NEED, I THINK WE NEED TO ADD TO THE MEMO IS A FINANCIAL BACKING WE'RE ASKING THESE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TWO ENTITIES, ESPECIALLY THE LIBRARY TO PICK UP SOME OF THE WORK THAT RIGHT TV WAS DOING AND RIGHT TO BE HAS A HAS A POOR NUMBER OF PRODUCERS.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PLIES WE SUPPORT OR RIGHT TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF A HUGE NUMBER OF NOT FOR PROFITS IN TOWN.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE'RE NOT GIVING THEM ANY FINANCIAL BACKING AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS STATED IN THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION IN 2019.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME FINANCIAL BACKING TO PAY FOR PRODUCER WHO WILL BE YOU KNOW EDITING AND SHOOTING AND ALL THESE I ESTIMATE ABOUT $35,000 OR SO A YEAR FOR A PART TIME PERSON WHO CAN REALLY HELP.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE SURPRISE AND AND AND KEEP PRODUCING THE PUBLIC ACCESS COMPONENT, NOT THE OBVIOUSLY NOT THE GOVERNMENT, SO I JUST THINK THAT'S MISSING, OTHERWISE IT LOOKS FINE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ELENA IS YOUR SUGGESTION FOR A WEANING PERIOD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT IS, FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS FIRST YEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT I BASICALLY GO AHEAD.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH I THINK AT LEAST THE FIRST YEAR TILL THEY GET THEIR LEGS UNDERNEATH THEMSELVES AND UNDERSTAND HOW, HOW WE CAN WORK OUT AND HOW YOU KNOW GET GET MORE TRAINING, IF NEED BE, BUT ESPECIALLY THESE PAST YEAR.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITH KOBE WHEN NO GALA'S HAPPENED RIGHT TV HELD A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS RUN THEIR YOU KNOW BENEFITS OR PRODUCE SOMETHING SO THAT NOT FOR PROFITS IN TOWN GOOD.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COULD YOU KNOW COLLECT SOME MONEY OR RAISE SOME FUNDS, SO I THINK THAT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT IN PERPETUITY BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RESOLUTION THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME FINANCIAL BACKING AND I THINK THAT'S, THE ONLY THING THAT'S MISSING THERE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DO THEY NEED IT, I MEAN IS THAT IS THAT DISCUSSED TODAY, OR DO THEY FEEL LIKE THAT THEY CAN DO THIS AND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WELL, I THINK, REALLY, THAT THE ISSUE OR THE POINT THAT CAROLINA'S RAISING IS THAT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE THE GOAL OF THE LIBRARY AND YARD CENTER IS TO PROVIDE TRAINING TO DO PRODUCTION TO PROVIDE BOTH.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: DOC BIDDING OR NO PUN INTENDED TO VIDEO TRAINING FOR PEOPLE TO DO ONGOING TRAINING, BUT ALSO TO PROVIDE SOME INITIAL TRAINING.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: FOR PRODUCERS, BUT NOT TO TAKE UP THE RESPONSIBILITY AS THE CITY HAS DONE IN THE PAST OF DOING YOU KNOW THE YMCA WANTS TO DO AN EVENT AND.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, IN THE CITY HISTORICALLY WOULD HAVE PROVIDED NICOLE OR A PART TIMER TO EPISODES EXPENSE TO VIDEOTAPE OF PRODUCTION TO EDIT IT TO PRODUCE IT AND TO PROVIDE IT TO THE LIBRARY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO WOULD WE BE WHEN NICOLE BE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN THAT TRANSIT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: KNOW THERE'S THERE'S A PART TIMER THAT THE CITY HAS USED.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: FOR A LONG TIME, AND IT WOULDN'T BE NICOLE AT ALL, SHE WOULDN'T BE I MEAN I DON'T THINK SO THAT WOULD BE PERSONAL MATTER BUT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIBRARIANS MAY BE ABLE TO BE TAUGHT TO SHOOT AND EDIT, BUT I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SHOOTER AND AN EDITOR SOMEBODY WHO CAN DO THAT WORK.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TRAIN PEOPLE YOU KNOW, BUT YOU HAVE TO SORT OF LIKE HOLD THEIR HANDS UNTIL THEY CAN REALLY YOU KNOW GET IT MOVING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LIKE IN THE TRAINER SITUATION RIGHT AND PEOPLE TO GOOD TO ME FISHER WHENEVER YEAH OKAY UNDERSTAND.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TAG MANAGER ASKED A COUPLE.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF QUESTIONS SURE UM THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS WE COLLECT FREE FEES WHICH ARE FRANCHISE FEES FROM.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THOSE THAT PUT CABLE BOXES IN PEOPLE'S HOMES, ONE IS A TAX AN EXCISE TAX, IF YOU WILL, THAT IS ADDED ON TO THEIR BILL EACH MONTH, WHICH WE COLLECT ANNUALLY.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THE OTHER IS A SPECIAL FUNDING SOURCE WHICH, AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS GOING DOWN IN EACH YEAR, BUT IS A CAPITAL OUTLAY FOR EQUIPMENT VERY SPECIFIC USE TAX THERE'S THOSE TWO THINGS CORRECT.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: WELL, THE ONLY THING I WOULD I WOULD CLARIFY PAM IS THAT THE PEG GRANT, I THINK, IS WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IN THE SECOND INSTANCE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT IS A NEGOTIATED FIXED FEE FROM THE CABLE PROVIDERS OR PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM AND IN THAT CASE WE'RE WE'RE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH ALL TEETH NOW.

[01:25:07]

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE EITHER THE PUBLIC OR THE GOVERNMENTAL CHANNEL COULD USE THAT MONEY SO THAT IT'S NOT SO NARROWLY DEFINED TO COVER WHAT WAS OLD TECHNOLOGY, WHEN WE KNOW VERY WELL, AND THINGS, THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT PAM'S QUESTION PAM I JUST BECAUSE YOU WOULD SAID, THE FIRST ONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE PELL GRANTS AND NEGOTIATED AMOUNT THAT'S PART OF THAT CARRIAGE AGREEMENT WITH THE THE CARRIER SO THERE'S WE HAVE FILES, WE HAVE RISING WE HAVE LTS RIGHT SO IN ONE THAT IS A PR LIKE A PER SUB FEE RIGHT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S THE ONE I THINK THAT'S GOING DOWN AS PEOPLE CUT CABLE RIGHT AND AND SO YOU'RE SEEING SORT OF THIS SO SO NOT NOT AS A VIRTUE OF NEGOTIATION, BUT JUST AS AN ATTRITION FROM CABLE THAT'S AN INDUSTRY WIDE THING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT, SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH YEAH 100%.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT ONE THING I WANTED TO CLARIFY WAS ARE WE ACTUALLY COLLECTING THAT MONEY OR IS THAT ARE THEY COLLECTING IT AND THEN I THOUGHT THEY WERE COLLECTING IT AND THEN CUTTING US A CHECK, HENCE THE AUDIT ISSUES.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S CORRECT SO AND.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE NEXT QUESTION I HAVE WHICH DOVETAILS VERY NICELY WITH JULIE'S QUESTION IS HOW MUCH A YEAR, DO WE GET OR DID WE LAST YEAR LET'S SAY GET IN EXCISE TAX.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF FOUR DAY DON'T HOLD ME TO THIS, BUT BETWEEN 400 AND $450,000 NOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: AND THAT AND THAT'S.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IT'S BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT I WON'T SAY IT'S $1 EVERY YEAR BUT IT'S IT'S BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT IN RECENT YEARS I'M SURE THE COAL RAZOR AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO TO CAROLINA'S POINT ABOUT FINANCIALLY HELPING WHICH MAKES COMPLETE SENSE TO ME, AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST YEAR RIGHT NOW WE COLLECT THAT $450,000 OR WHATEVER THE PEG MONEY WILL BE TO SHARE, WHICH ARE PROBABLY ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND RIGHT TO.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: BE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I MEAN.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE FRANCHISE FEE IS SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 400 TO MAYBE FOR $50,000 THE PELL GRANT IS BY CONTRACT 25,000 FROM ALL TEAMS AND 25,000 FROM VERIZON.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT IS GOING DOWN BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I WAS INVOLVED IN A NEGOTIATION, FOR ONE, IT WAS IN THE COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DEPENDS ON.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: MAYBE WHAT THEY'RE PRODUCING BUT WE ONLY HAVE THREE CHANNELS SO IT'S FOR EQUIPMENT AND STUFF LIKE THAT SO IT'S ANOTHER TINY AMOUNT THAT'S GETTING PULLED OUT OF SOME OF THESE.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: EVENTS IT'S BEEN THAT SAME AMOUNT FOR THE LAST KRISTEN 10 YEARS.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES, IT WAS 10 YEARS AT THE TIME IT WAS VERY COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES HAVE SIMILAR SIZE, WE ARE CERTAINLY NEGOTIATING THAT AMOUNT RIGHT NOW, WITHOUT TEETH TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER.

KRISTEN WILSON: BUT IT'S NEVER I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PELL GRANT IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, THE FRANCHISE FEE AMOUNT, YES, THAT PELL GRANTS I THINK WHITE PLAINS, IS AS WELL BELOW THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR EVENT.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO HERE'S MY QUESTION, DO WE HAVE ANY SENSE OF HOW MUCH MONEY THE RIGHT ART CENTER OR THE LIBRARY WOULD NEED AS SORT OF SEED MONEY IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL THE CATALINA TO SORT OF HELP THEM, I MEAN WE'RE GOING TO GET THEM STAFFING HELP.

PAM TARLOW RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WELL.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT WHAT'S THE PROPOSAL LIKE GIVE THEM A GIVE THEM ENOUGH TO DO A PART TIME STAFFERS WHAT CURRENTLY YOU.

KNOW.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: TO BE TO BE CLEAR, I MEAN WE HAVE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THAT THE THEIR ASSUMPTION IS THEY WOULD THEY WOULD TAKE ON.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THE I DON'T EVEN SAY RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT THEY WOULD TAKE ON THOSE NON GOVERNMENTAL ASPECTS.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THEY ARE NOT EXPECTING THE CITY AND THE CONVERSATION HAS NEVER BEEN THAT THAT WE WOULD PAY FOR THEIR ONGOING OPERATION, THIS IS GOING TO BE INTEGRATED INTO THEIR ACTIVITIES NOW TO CAROLINA'S POINT THE YOU KNOW THE THE BRINGING THEM.

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

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: IN PERPETUITY.

GREG USRY INTERIM CITY MANAGER: THAT YOU KNOW THAT CAN BE THAT CAN BE PART OF YOUR ACTION, BUT THEY ARE NOT ASSUMING GOING FORWARD THAT THEY ARE RECEIVING OTHER THAN THE LIBRARY RECEIVING SOME GRANT MONEY THEY'RE NOT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN THIS CONVERSATION WE'VE HAD ONLY WITH THE LIBRARY AND THE RIDE CENTER THEIR PRODUCERS AND THE NOT FOR PROFITS HAVE NOT ENTERED INTO THE CONVERSATION SO THAT'S WHY I AM ASKING ON THEIR BEHALF.

[01:30:01]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, MINDFUL AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT CAROLINA'S SAYING IS OF OUR CONSTITUENT ORGANIZATIONS HERE IN THIS TOWN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT THAT THAT TRANSITION OVER TO WRITE ART CENTER AND RIDE FREE READING ROOM WHICH.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOUNDS YOU KNOW SOUNDS VERY PROMISING AND VERY ENCOURAGING THAT THAT ONE OF THE MAIN SERVICES THAT'S PROVIDED BY RIGHT TV IS IS NOT YOU KNOW PUSHED TO THE WAYSIDE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I'M I'M I'M HEARING I'M HEARING A GOOD CONSENSUS HERE, I THINK THAT IS TO APPROVE THE NEGOTIATION OF THE MO YOU ON THE TERMS THAT GREG HAS PROPOSED, WITH THE ADDITION OF A.
