JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IDA HEARD OUR CITY VERY BADLY SO BADLY THAT MANY OF US ARE DISPOSSESSED AND PHYSICALLY EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED BECAUSE RESULT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE AS A COMMUNITY SHARE EACH OTHER'S PAIN IN EACH OTHER'S BURDENS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IT'S BEEN INSPIRING TO SEE SO MANY GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS DO THEIR BEST TO HELP THEIR NEIGHBORS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: FROM RYE RELIEF TO LAUNDRY FAIRIES TO BAKERS AND COOKS BREAD OF LIFE SPORTS TEAMS AND THE VOLUNTEERS WHO'VE HELPED CLEAN THE BROOK AND, ESPECIALLY, TO ALL THOSE WHO'VE HELPED AND THAT INEVITABLY I'VE NOT MENTIONED, THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE CITY TO HAS BEEN DOING, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO ALL IT CAN TO HELP THOSE HURT BY IDA WE UNDERSTAND THAT FOR MANY RECOVERY WILL BE A LONG HAUL THE CITY IS HERE FOR THAT LONG HAUL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND IMPORTANT STEP IS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED, IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL STORM PRODUCING NEARLY NINE INCHES OF RAIN IN NINE HOURS AND IT PEAK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RAINING AT AN INTENSITY EXCEEDING FOUR INCHES OF RAIN AND OUR IDA WHICH DELIVERED 50% MORE RAIN THAN IRENE PORT ITS WATER ON TO GROUND STILL SOAKED FROM STORM ON MRI A WEEK PRIOR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AS AN EXPERIENCED US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS MEN CORPS OF ENGINEERS MANAGER PUT IT IN CONVERSATION WITH US LAST WEEK IT WAS ASTOUNDING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SADLY, ONE CAN ALSO CALL IT A DEADLY, AS WAS THE CASE IN RYE BROOK AND ELSEWHERE, AND AS MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE CASE HERE, IF NOT FOR THE HEROIC RESCUE EFFORTS OF OUR FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND OUR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHAT EXACTLY DID I DID TO IT OVERWHELMED OUR GROUNDS ABILITY TO HOLD WATER OUR HOMES STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND THE STORM DRAINS IN OUR STREETS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE COMBINED EFFECT OF ALL THAT WATER FROM THE TOP OF THE BLIND BLIND BROOK WATERSHED AT WEST CHESTER AIRPORT COURSE THROUGH BOTH BRANCHES OF BLIND BROOK UNLEASHING HAVOC IN RYE BROOK AND OUR CITY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE INTENSE PEAK FLOW OF THE STORM ULTIMATELY CREATED A FLASH FLOOD THAT FILLED AND EXCEEDED OUR BOWMAN DAMN AT GREAT SPEED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE WILL DEVISE MEANS TO BE BIT BETTER PREPARED FOR THE LIKES OF VIDA BUT, IN FACT, AND AS GREG S3 WILL RELATE THE CITY WAS WELL PREPARED FOR THE 44 TO SIX INCH DAY OF RAIN THAT IDOL WAS PREDICTED TO BE THE CITY'S PREPARATION WAS TESTED HARD BY IDA AND THOUGH CHALLENGE WAS NOT OVERCOME.

[00:10:05]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I CAN SPEAK ONLY TO WHAT HAS BEEN DONE DURING MY TIME AS MAYOR IN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: UPON DISCOVERING THAT ARE $3 MILLION NEW YORK RISING FLOOD MITIGATION GRANT WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE UNUSED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE CITY COUNCIL CHOSE A SERIES OF PROJECTS, INCLUDING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, DATA COLLECTION MECHANISMS TO ALLOW IMPROVE CONTROL OF OUR BOWMAN DAMN ON BLIND BROOK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SOME CLEARING OF BRUSHING DEBRIS FROM OUR BOWMAN IMPOUNDMENT AREA AND IMPROVED STREET DRAINAGE IN A FLOOD PRONE AREA ADJACENT TO THE BOAT BASIN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THESE PROJECTS HAVE MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND EXPENSIVELY UNDER THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF STORM RECOVERY AND THE DORMITORY AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RECONCILING STATUS WITH THESE TWO AGENCIES IT'S DOUBTFUL, HOWEVER, THAT IF COMPLETED THESE PROJECTS WOULD HAVE CHANGED OUTCOMES IN EITHER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IN 2019 WE BEGAN FLOOD CONTROL TALKS WITH THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, WITH THE HELP OF SENATOR GILLIBRAND OFFICE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IT TOOK ALMOST TWO YEARS, BUT THE CORE RETURNED TO US RECENTLY WITH A WITH A DETERMINATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT THERE WERE SUFFICIENT INDICATIONS OF COST BENEFICIAL PROJECTS IN THE BLIND BROOK WATERSHED TO PERMIT THE CORE TO UNDERTAKE FURTHER STUDY THAT MIGHT LEAD TO AN ACTUAL PROJECT WITH A BUDGET THAT MIGHT APPROACH $15 MILLION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE FURTHER STUDY COSTS WOULD NEED TO BE SHARED BY THE CORE THE STATE IN THE CITY AS WOULD CONSTRUCTION COSTS IN THE EVENT OF AN APPROVED PROJECT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE COUNTY ON ITS PART UNDER TOOK SOME RENOVATION WORK ON ITS IMPOUNDMENT AT THE TOP OF THE BLIND BROOK WATERSHED THEY CAPTURE WESTCHESTER AIRPORT RUNWAY STORMWATER SUMMON RIGHT CREDITED THESE IMPROVED IMPOUNDMENT WITH DIMINISHING THE EFFECT OF NOT STORM IDA BUT OF STORM ON RAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SINCE IDA WHAT HAVE WE DONE WE'VE REACHED OUT TO RYE BROOK OUR NEIGHBOR CONTROLLING MOST OF THE WATERSHED ABOVE RYE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND BEGAN A CONVERSATION INVOLVING MAYOR'S MANAGERS AND STAFF ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER ON FLOOD CONTROL ISSUES IN OUR COMMON WATERSHED GOING FORWARD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE'VE HAD A MEETING WITH THE ARMY CORPS AND NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ON NEXT STEPS IN THE ARMY CORPS PROJECT PROCESS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE'VE ASKED OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT ABOVE THE CITY, THE COUNTY STATE AND FEDERAL TO HELP US FIND THE MEANS TO TAME BLIND BROOK DIMINISH RISK OF STREET FLOODING AND ADVANCE OUR HEART RETRENCH PLANS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHAT WILL WE DO GOING FORWARD BEYOND CONTINUING THE INITIATIVES ABOVE, WE WILL BE PURSUING FEMALE FOR THE CITY ITSELF, AS WELL AS HELPING INJURED RESIDENTS ACCESS FEMA ASSISTANCE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WILL ASK AN AUGMENTED FLOODED ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WORKING WITH A CITY PLANNER AND THE CITY ENGINEER, TO HELP US SEE IF THE PROJECT POSSIBILITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE MANY PRIOR YEARS OF STUDIES CARRY DOWN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WITH A VIEW TO CHOOSING AND PURSUING THE MOST PROMISING WITH AS MUCH SPEED, AS THESE KINDS OF PROJECTS ALLOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WILL TAKE ACCOUNT OF OUR ICT EXPERIENCE AND OUR MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND THE ALLIED ZONING REVIEW, AS WELL AS IN OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTY HAS MANAGEMENT PLAN AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN IN WHICH WE AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES NOW PARTICIPATE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CITY STAFF WILL CONTINUE THE INITIATIVES THAT GREG WILL OUTLINE AND WILL BE ON THE WATCH FOR MORE THINGS TO MAKE OUR STORM RESPONSE BETTER FINALLY, THE CITY WILL DO ALL IT CAN TO HELP THOSE INJURED AND DISPLACED BY ITEM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE'D LIKE TO PROVIDE IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM THE HISTORICAL PROBLEM OF FLOODING AND RYE, WE WILL WORK AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN, BUT WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE REALITIES OF PROJECT PLANNING AND FUNDING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WILL HEAR NEXT FROM COUNTY LEGISLATOR PARKER AFTER CATHERINE OUR CITY MANAGER GREG US RAY WILL PROVIDE US WITH IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT IT, AND OUR RESPONSE AFTER GREG WE WILL INVITE THOSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK TO DO SO, CATHERINE, PLEASE.

[00:15:16]

CATHERINE PARKER: GOOD EVENING AND THANK.

CATHERINE PARKER: YOU, TO THE COUNCIL AND MAYOR, FOR GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU AND THE COMMUNITY ON FLOODING, FIRST LET ME START BY SAYING TO THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED FLOODING IN YOUR HOMES OR BUSINESSES, I EXTEND MY HEARTFELT.

CATHERINE PARKER: CONDOLENCES FOR WHAT YOU'VE GONE TO THROUGH IN A WAY, YOU KNOW IT HAS REALLY.

CATHERINE PARKER: REALLY.

CATHERINE PARKER: BROUGHT UP SOME OF THE TRAUMA THAT I REMEMBER HUNDRED YEAR STORMS WITHIN SIX WEEKS IN 2007 FIRST A FIVE FOOT FIVE FEET OF WATER IN THE BASEMENT.

CATHERINE PARKER: MARCH 2 THAN SEVEN FEET OF WATER APRIL 15 THE FINANCIAL LOSS THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IS FRIGHTENING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE IS FRIGHTENING.

CATHERINE PARKER: AFTER THE STORMS IN 2007 I SERVED ON THE AD HOC FLOOD ACTION TASK FORCE WITH COUNCILWOMAN JOHNSON, AND I ALSO SERVED ON THE RICE CITY COUNCIL FROM 2008 TO 2014.

CATHERINE PARKER: IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT WE DID A LOT OF WORK TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT STORM AND DURING THAT TIME THAT WE GOT THE BLUE SKY FOR RIGHT AT BOWMAN AVENUE AND RIGHT BRO.

CATHERINE PARKER: IN 2014 I STARTED MY TENURE AS A COUNTY LEGISLATOR, REPRESENTING THE SOUTH SHORE WESTCHESTER FLOODING IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL OF THE SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITIES, AS MANY OF YOU HEARD MAMARONECK AND PORCHESTER WERE VERY HARD HIT DURING THIS LAST STORM.

CATHERINE PARKER: TO PARTNER WITH MAMARONECK, FOR INSTANCE, WE HAVE OFTEN ADDED THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS LOCAL SHARE TO OUR BUDGET, AND WE WILL BE DOING THAT AGAIN THIS TIME HOPING THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE MOVING FORWARD.

CATHERINE PARKER: ONE OF MY FIRST PIECES OF LEGISLATION THAT I PASSED WITH THE COOPERATION OF MY COLLEAGUES, WAS THE ADOPTION OF.

CATHERINE PARKER: THE STORM WATER RECONNAISSANCE PLANS FOR THE SIX WATERSHEDS OF WESTCHESTER THE STEP WAS AN IMPORTANT ONE TO START A PROCESS FOR THE COUNTY STORMWATER ADVISORY BOARD.

CATHERINE PARKER: TO EVALUATE REQUESTS FROM MUNICIPALITIES FOR A MATCH AND COUNTY FUNDING FOR FLOOD MITIGATION A MATCHING COMMITMENT OF MONEY, SO IF RYAN IS PUTTING IN $3 MILLION TO A PROJECT, THE COUNTY WOULD PUT IN $3 MILLION CAN REALLY MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

CATHERINE PARKER: STRANGELY, AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I THINK ANYONE ON THIS COUNCIL HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER KIDNEY ASTER BUT RIGHT HESITATED TAKING THAT FIRST STEP TO QUALIFY FOR FUNDING.

CATHERINE PARKER: GOING BACK BEFORE ANYBODY WHO'S SITTING ON THE DAY, AS WAS SERVING THE FIRST STEP WAS A THERE NEEDED TO BE A SUBMISSION TO THE COUNTY OF ANSWERS TO OUR QUESTIONNAIRE OUTLINING THE EXTENT OF FLOODING AND A LIST OF CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WOULD MITIGATE.

CATHERINE PARKER: WE DID FINALLY RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION IN JULY OF 2016 BUT NO REQUEST FOR FUNDING CAME AFTERWARDS IN 2018 THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE AND, AT THE REQUEST OF FLOOD SHARE BERNIE ALTHOFF THE RYE RISING TASK FORCE AND I BELIEVE THIS COUNCIL.

CATHERINE PARKER: I HOPE TO GET A MEETING WITH THE NEW YORK RISING REGIONAL DIRECTOR AND OUR KEY PERSONNEL FOR WESTCHESTER COUNTY TO DISCUSS EXPANDING THE TWO RETENTION PONDS AT WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT.

CATHERINE PARKER: THE COUNTY WAS QUICK TO ACT AND WE FINISHED ITS RESIZING OF THE RETENTION PONDS AT WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT AND.

CATHERINE PARKER: I CHECKED IN WITH OUR DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR THE AIRPORT FIND OUT ABOUT HOW THAT RESIZING HAD OPERATED DURING THE MOST RECENT STORM AND HE TOLD ME THAT THOSE RETENTION PONDS IT NEVER CRUSTED DURING TROPICAL STORM IDA.

CATHERINE PARKER: WAS ALSO THE YEAR THAT MY COLLEAGUES AND I WORKING WITH THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND OUR STATE AND FEDERAL DELEGATION.

CATHERINE PARKER: HAD TO LEARN ABOUT THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS PROPOSAL FOR FLOODGATES JUST BELOW PELHAM BAY IN LONG ISLAND SOUND.

CATHERINE PARKER: THAT WOULD SURELY HAVE HAD ADVERSE EFFECTS TO COASTAL COMMUNITIES NORTH.

CATHERINE PARKER: THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS HAD PROPOSED THE STORM SURGE BARRIERS TO PROTECT NORTHERN BRONX COMMUNITIES.

CATHERINE PARKER: BUT FOR THOSE IN WESTCHESTER THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM FOR WILDLIFE AND POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE LED TO MORE COASTAL FLOODING.

CATHERINE PARKER: DUE TO OUR WORK THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF THE FAST TRACKED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT.

CATHERINE PARKER: ON MONDAY, MARCO AND I RECEIVED YOUR LETTER WHICH WAS SENT TO ALL OF YOUR ELECTED PARTNERS AND COUNTY STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND I'M EAGER TO SEE THE COUNTY HELP PAY RAW PAY.

[00:20:11]

CATHERINE PARKER: THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE WILL BE GIVING HIS PROPOSED CAPITAL BUDGET TO THE BOARD OF LEGISLATORS FOR REVIEW ON OCTOBER EIGHT THAT'S VERY, VERY QUICK.

CATHERINE PARKER: BUT THERE IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE 2022 BUDGET BEFORE WE PASS THE BUDGET AT OUR FIRST MEETING IN DECEMBER.

CATHERINE PARKER: I AGREE WITH YOU THERE COHEN REAL SOLUTIONS WILL NEED SUPPORT, NOT JUST TO THE COUNTY BUT ALSO NEW YORK STATE AND OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

CATHERINE PARKER: AND AS MARCO KNOWS I REACHED OUT TO OUR CONGRESSMAN JAMAL BOWMAN AND ASKED HIM TO COME TO RYE.

CATHERINE PARKER: HE TOURED WITH THE MAYOR AND MYSELF TO SEE THE DEVASTATION EXPERIENCED BY SO MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

CATHERINE PARKER: AND AS HE'S STILL LEARNING ABOUT HIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, I FELT THIS WAS A MUCH NEEDED IMPORTANT STEP.

CATHERINE PARKER: TO MAKING SURE THAT RISE REQUEST FOR FEDERAL FUNDS WOULD BE TREATED AS MUST HAVE AND NOT A NICE TO HAVE.

CATHERINE PARKER: LASTLY, AS I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF MY REMARKS, THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE IS FRIGHTENING AND IT'S REAL.

CATHERINE PARKER: 11 RESIDENTS IN QUEENS LOST THEIR LIFE DROWNING IN THEIR APARTMENTS WEST CHESTER WAS LUCKY THAT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN HERE, BUT WE NEED MORE THAN LUCK.

CATHERINE PARKER: I HAVE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD OF LEGISLATORS THIS PAST MONDAY EVENING PROPOSED LEGISLATION TO MANDATE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD FLOODED FLOODED PREMISES DUE TO THE OVERFLOW OF.

CATHERINE PARKER: NATURAL WATERS SAY ENGLAND OR TITLE WATERS UNUSUAL AND RAPID ACCUMULATION OF RUNOFF OR SURFACE WATERS, FOR EXAMPLE.

CATHERINE PARKER: FOR BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SPACES THAT PRIOR TO THE SIGNING OF THE LEASE THAT THAT INFORMATION IS.

CATHERINE PARKER: DISCLOSED, THE DATA GOING BACK 10 YEARS TO WHEN FLOODS OCCURRED AND WHERE THE WATERLINE WAS ESTIMATED TO BE.

CATHERINE PARKER: IF THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE IT COULD TRIGGER A CIVIL ACTION TO RECOVER MONIES FOR LAST PROPERTY.

CATHERINE PARKER: WE WILL BE STARTING COMMITTEE MEETINGS, NEXT WEEK AND WE'LL SET A PUBLIC HEARING AND ABOUT FOUR WEEKS, I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I HAVE ONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PERSONAL THANK YOU, I KNOW WE TALKED IN THE DAYS AFTER THE FLOOD AND ALL WITH WHAT MORE CAN WE DO RIGHT, SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO TERRIFIC PARTNER.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE RESIZING OF THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT RETENTION PONDS AND AND MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD, OF TAKING NOTES USING IT DID NOT CROSS DURING IDA.

CATHERINE PARKER: THAT IS CORRECT THE PAWNS DID NOT CRUSHED IT WESTCHESTER COUNTY AIRPORT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO SO CATHERINE WOULD WERE THERE MORE BECAUSE I REMEMBER, AT ONE POINT, THERE WAS TALK OF HAVING A RETENTION POND BUILT, I THINK, NEAR SUNY PURCHASE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WOULD THAT HAVE HOW I MEAN, DO YOU THINK THAT HAVING MORE RETENTION PONDS IN THE COUNTY IN STRATEGIC PLACES WOULD HELP.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE'RE DOWNSTREAM RIGHT WE'RE AT THE END OF IT ALL IT ALL BROKEN DOWN EVERYTHING COMES DOWN OUR WAY IF THERE'S MORE RETENTION UPSTREAM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT TAKES THE PRESSURE OFF OF US AT THE BOTTOM OF IT ALL IS ANYWHERE IN DISCUSSION, CREATING MORE OR OR RESIZING OTHER ONES THAT DO EXIST.

CATHERINE PARKER: WELL, THAT WOULD BE SO SO SUNY PURCHASE IS A IS THE STATE ENTITY, SO THAT WOULD BE A CONVERSATION I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE PRIVY TO AND CERTAINLY WANT MAYBE ONE FOR YOUR STAFF AND AND YOUR STATE OFFICIALS.

CATHERINE PARKER: AND I AGREE WITH YOU THAT ADDITIONAL RETENTION PONDS.

CATHERINE PARKER: WOULD BE A GOOD THING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE PURCHASE SIDE IDEA IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE CORE HAS PRELIMINARILY FOCUSED ON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, SO BEFORE WE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC GREG PLEASE LET.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ME START WITH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I'M GONNA SHARE MY SCREEN HERE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: EVERYBODY SAY THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE GOT YES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OKAY, ALL RIGHT SO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN THREE LONG WEEKS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I WANT TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS OR I WANT TO GO OVER FIRST OF ALL THAT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE STORM, BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS AS WE'VE ALL EITHER WITNESS ANECDOTALLY OR HEARD, THIS WAS A STORM OF HISTORIC PROPORTIONS, AND SO I THINK THE FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS JUST KIND OF BASED ON.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ACCURATE WEATHER INFORMATION KIND OF REVIEW WHAT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE STORM WAS AND THEN MOVE INTO WHAT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DAMAGE WAS WHERE IT OCCURRED.

[00:25:03]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO, BY WAY OF BACKGROUND IDA, AS WE ALL KNOW, WAS A HURRICANE HITTING THE COAST LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA, ON HER ABOUT AUGUST 29.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT REACHED WESTCHESTER COUNTY IN THE NORTHEAST AND RYE ON SEPTEMBER 1 ON THE 31ST THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DID ISSUE A A FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR RYAN, THE FACILITY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT AT THAT TIME AND UP THROUGH THE MORNING OF THE FIRST RAINFALL PROJECTION WAS FOUR TO SIX INCHES FOR A PERIOD THAT WAS GOING TO LAST AT APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS NOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT WAS IN FACT WHAT RYE, AND THE SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITY IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, INCLUDING NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHERN NEW YORK DID PREPARE FOR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHAT WE ACTUALLY RECEIVED WAS SOMETHING VERY, VERY DIFFERENT BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY EVENING APPROXIMATELY SEVEN O'CLOCK.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE INTENSITY OF THE RAIN INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AND I'LL SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE WHAT THAT REALLY RESULTED IN WE REACHED A MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION OF LITTLE UNDER FOUR INCHES IN AN HOUR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND OVER SIX INCHES AND A THREE HOUR PERIOD AS YOU SEE, BELOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HOW THAT COMPARES TO HENRI AND AND IRENE SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND, IS WHAT THE STORM ACTUALLY CARRY VERSUS WHAT WAS SEEN IN PRIOR STORMS, THIS WAS NOT A WINDSTORM IT WAS NOT COASTAL FLOODING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT WAS SHEER VELOCITY AND VOLUME OF RAIN IN AN EXTRAORDINARILY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG WE'RE NOT SEEING I'M NOT SEEING ANY CHANGE ON THE SCREEN BEST YOUR TITLE PAGE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALL RIGHT, STILL THERE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NOT A.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PAGE LAST PROBLEM ALL RIGHT, YOU SEE IF I CAN SHARE THIS AGAIN I'M SORRY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HOLD ON ONE SECOND TECHNICAL PROBLEM.

SO.

THAT'S FINE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: GIVE ME ONE SECOND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: LET'S SEE IF I CAN PULL IT UP.

[00:30:06]

SO MY APOLOGIES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TECHNOLOGICAL PLANS HERE SO I'M GOING TO SEND THAT I HAVE GOING ON, INSTEAD OF OVER I'M GOING TO GIVE SOME MORE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS AND WE'LL GO BACK INTO THE SLIDES AS SOON AS THEY'VE ARRIVED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE EITHER RAINFALL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ACCUMULATED OVER TWO AND A HALF INCHES IN A 30 MINUTE PERIOD ACCUMULATED FOUR INCHES OF RAIN AND AN HOUR PERIOD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALMOST FIVE INCHES OF RAIN IN 90 MINUTES AND ALMOST SIX AND A HALF INCHES OF RAIN AND TWO AND A HALF HOURS, THE TOTAL RAINFALL ALL OCCURRED BETWEEN 8PM AND 2AM 2AM IN THE MORNING, THE RAIN AND COMPLETELY STOPPED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION ALL OCCURRED BETWEEN 10PM AND 11PM THAT'S WHEN WE HAD ALL THAT'S WHEN WE HAD ALMOST FOUR INCHES OF RAIN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS IMPORTANT WAS JUST THE THE SHEER VELOCITY, MEANING THAT THERE WERE PERIODS OF TIME DURING THAT 90 MINUTES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHEN THE EQUIVALENT RAINFALL DURING FIVE AND 10 MINUTE PERIODS, WHICH IS, WHICH IS WAS AS MUCH AS NINE WAS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EQUIVALENT OF NINE INCHES AND OUR SO THERE WERE MOMENTS IN TIME WHEN THE VELOCITY OF THE RAIN, WAS IT WAS IT WASN'T THAT KIND OF MAGNITUDE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN TERMS OF OVERALL STORM IMPACT THE CITY WIDE FLOODING OCCURRED FOR TWO PRIMARY REASONS NUMBER ONE WAS THE FLOODING RESULTING FROM THE BLIND BROOK AND THE BEAVER SWAMP BROOK THAT'S, BOTH IN TERMS OF VOLUME AND VELOCITY AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A SECOND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: MAYBE, MORE IMPORTANTLY, OR MORE CONCERNING WAS JUST THE WIDESPREAD FLOODING, DUE TO THE OVERWHELM CATCH BASINS AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT I DO EMPHASIZE THIS WAS BOTH AT THE CITY LEVEL, BUT ALSO FOR INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FOR HOMES, WITH THE GUTTER SYSTEM TO DOWNSPOUTS THE FRENCH DRAINS THE DRY WELLS, AND THE LIKE SUMP PUMPS JUST COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THIS VOLUME OF RAIN IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE BOWMAN AVENUE DAM SPILLWAY AND DAMN OVERFLOWED FLOODING THE BUSINESSES IN THE TRADITIONAL BLIND BROOK AREA, ALL THE WAY DOWN, NONE OF THIS DUDE COASTAL FLOODING OR TITLE TITLE FLOODING, BUT RATHER JUST THE VOLUME OF WATER THAT WENT OVER THE DAM IN THE SPILLWAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID HAVE APPROXIMATELY 770 POWER OUTAGES NONE OF THAT WAS DUE TO WIN THAT WAS ALL DUE TO FALLEN TREES OR MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE JUST THE WATER ACCUMULATION IN THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TREE FALLING THOSE WERE, FOR THE MOST PART, RESTORED BY THE EVENING OF SEPTEMBER 2 AND EVERYTHING WAS RESTORED BY THE BY THE AFTERNOON OF SEP TEMBER THIRD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE WAS NO WIND DAMAGE THAT WE COULD FIND AND THERE WAS NO COASTAL FLOODING, SO THIS WAS ALL A RAIN EVENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I'LL GET THIS, I WANT TO GET THIS CHART UP IN A SECOND, BUT THE THE OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OR ONE OF THE IMPORTANT ASPECTS, WAS THE FLOODING THAT OCCURRED AT BOWMAN DAMN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE HAVE HISTORICALLY DONE SITE VISITS TO THE DAM DURING STORM EVENTS EITHER EVERY 30 MINUTES OR EVERY HOUR AND THEREFORE MONITORING WHAT WAS GOING ON BEHIND THE DAM AND THE ACCUMULATION OF WATER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BETWEEN 945 AND 1045 THAT EVENING THE WATER LEVEL INCREASED BY 15 FEET IN A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN AN HOUR SO BETWEEN 945 AND APPROXIMATELY 1035 THE WATER REACHED THE SPILLWAY THAT WAS ABOUT 12 AND A HALF FEET.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE WE GO LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE A PRESENTATION, THOUGH.

KRISTEN WILSON: AND GREG I HAVE YOUR POWERPOINT UP SO JUST TELL ME WHEN TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND I.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: LET'S GO YOU'RE DOWN FOR FOUR OR FIVE SLIDES NOW KRISTIN.

KRISTEN WILSON: LET'S GO.

ONE MORE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ACTUALLY, TWO MORE I WANT TO GO THE WATER LEVEL.

KRISTEN WILSON: ONE.

[00:35:01]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU'RE MISSING THE SLIDE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WONDERFUL IT'S TITLED WATER LEVEL OF BOWMAN DAMN I DON'T EVEN SEE IT IN THERE KRISTEN.

KRISTEN WILSON: THIS IS THE POWERPOINT AND I REALLY TO HAVE ERIC'S SLIDES COULD NOT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUY THIS IS ONE OF THEM, THIS IS THE IMPORTANT WHEN I'M NOT SURE WHY DON'T HAVE IT ALRIGHT, SO THE POINT, THE POINT BEING THAT WE HAD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: 15 FEET OF ACCUMULATION IN THE WATER LEVEL AT THE DAM IN LESS THAN AN HOUR, SO WE WERE, IN FACT, THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER THAT CHECK THE DAMN AT APPROXIMATELY 930 TO 940.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE HAD 12 FEET OF CLARENCE TO THE SPILLWAY 15 PLAYERS TO THE TOP OF THE DAM AND 55 MINUTES LATER IT CRUSTED THE DAM.

KRISTEN WILSON: IS THIS THE WATER LEVEL ONE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S IT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALRIGHT, INCIDENTALLY, THIS ENTIRE SLIDE SHOW HAS BEEN POSTED ON THE WEBSITE FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GO BACK AND REFER TO IT LATER IT IS UNDER THE IDA TAB AND THERE IS A THE ENTIRE SLIDE SHOW IS THERE, SO MY MY APOLOGIZE FOR MY TECHNICAL ISSUES HERE TONIGHT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO THIS IS JUST SHOW SHOWS THE WATER ACCUMULATION, THIS IS IN FIVE MINUTE INCREMENTS AT THE BOTTOM, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW QUICKLY THAT WAS CHANGING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREAT BUDDHIST I'M.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAVE GLASSES DOES THIS SAY 44 FEET AND THEN IT GOES UP TO 58 KNOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HIGHER 5957 SO THE TOP OF THE SPILL, THIS IS THIS IS ELEVATION LEVEL STARTED WITH A BASE OF 44 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE BROOK COMING INTO THE DAMN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALL RIGHT, THE SPILLWAY IS 55 FEET RIGHT, SO YOU HAVE 11 AND A HALF FEET FROM A NORMAL LEVEL TO THE TOP OF SPILLWAY AND THEN ANOTHER TWO FEET, TO THE TOP OF THE DAM SO THAT'S SO THE POINT IS BETWEEN 945 AND 1055.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU HAD A 15 FOOT CHANGE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREAT DUDE DO WE HAVE EVER HAVE WE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NOT AN ANYONE'S MEMORY THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NOTE, I MEAN THE ACCUMULATION AND I'LL PUT IT THIS WAY WHEN WE DURING HENRIQUE THE WEEK AHEAD OF TIME WE HAD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, WATER RISING DURING THE PEAK OF THE STORM BY ABOUT THREE FEET THREE AND A HALF FEET IN ONE HOUR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THAT WAS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM WHEN WE GOT I THINK.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SIX TENTHS OF AN ENGINE AND OUR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT NOTHING OF THIS KIND OF MAGNITUDE IT LITERALLY WAS LIKE A FLASH FLOOD COMING OVER THE TOP OF THE DAMN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OKAY PERSON WANT TO GO THE NEXT ONE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND JUST JUST ANOTHER QUESTION GREG THIS THE SLUICE GATES WAS CLOSED THROUGHOUT THIS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S CORRECT YES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NOW WHAT I WANTED TO DO A LITTLE BIT TO DEMONSTRATE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE FLOODING AND WHY THIS WAS SO UNUSUAL IS THIS IS THE FLOOD MAP THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT ACTUALLY IS A IT'S A COUNTY PRODUCTION, BUT THIS SHOWS THE HISTORIC THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, THE THEME 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, THE THEME OF 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN COASTAL AND THEN TITLE WETLANDS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: GENERALLY SPEAKING, EVERYONE IN THE FLOODPLAIN WAS FLOODED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHAT WAS EXTRAORDINARY AND UNUSUAL ABOUT THE STORM AND THAT YOU'LL SEE WE ADDED THAT TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THAT KEY THE ADDITIONAL FLOODED AREAS THOSE LIGHT BLUE AREAS WERE FLOODED BEYOND THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND IF YOU'LL NOTICE THE LONG LINE GOING INTO PORCHESTER THAT'S ALL OF.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOREST AVENUE AND MIDDLING PARTS OF MIDDLE AND YOU'LL NOTICE PARTS OF KIRBY LANE YOU'LL NOTICE PARTS OF HICKS PART YOU'LL NOTICE AREAS IN GREEN HAVEN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PART OF THIS WAS DUE TO THE THE ADDITIONAL FLOODING AND ALONG THE BLIND WHAT BROOKE AND BEAVER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT IT ALSO DEMONSTRATES SOME OF THE WIDESPREAD FLOODING THAT WAS OCCURRING JUST BECAUSE OF THE SHEER VOLUME IN WHICH THE CITY STORMWATER SYSTEM COULD NOT HANDLE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE FLOODING DISSIPATED, BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAD HOMES, WHERE THEIR DRIVEWAY OR THEIR GARAGE ELEVATION WAS BELOW THE GRADE OF THE OF THE STREET.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE WATER ACCUMULATION WAS JUST LITERALLY RUNNING DOWN THE FRONT OF DRIVEWAYS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND IN THE CASE OF SOME RUNNING SO DEEP IT WAS LITERALLY HIGHER THAN THE ELEVATION OF THE STREET GOING ON THE SIDE STREETS AND THEN DOWN INTO GARAGES SO IN JUST SURE ACCUMULATION OF WATER AND THAT YOU KNOW I IT REALLY AFFECTED US ALMOST CITYWIDE UNLESS YOU WERE AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.

[00:40:04]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YOU'VE SAID THAT EVERYTHING IN THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WAS FLOODED AND THEN SOME IS THAT CORRECT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YEAH I MEAN I DIDN'T SURVEY EVERY HOME IN THE FLOODPLAIN BUT, GENERALLY SPEAKING, OUR EXPERIENCE AND REVIEW IS EVERYTHING IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND THEN ALL OF THOSE BLUE AREAS THAT WOULD NOT HAVE TRADITIONALLY EVER FLOODED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND WE WE DIDN'T HAVE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: TIDAL SURGE FLOODING AND WE DIDN'T HAVE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: TIDAL SURGE ON THE COAST, DID WE HAVE COASTAL FLOODING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NOW, NOT NOT THAT WE'VE IT'S BEEN REPORTED, I MEAN I CAN'T SPEAK THAT THERE'S NOT YOU KNOW INDIVIDUAL HOMES THAT DIDN'T GET FLOODED BECAUSE OF THE STORM WATER SYSTEM, BUT THERE WAS NO TIDAL SURGE AND THERE WAS NO TRADITIONAL TITLE FLOODING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, SO WHEN WE REFER TO THE HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN WE'RE REFERRING TO THAT AROUND BLIND BROOK.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: RIGHT IT'S THE NOT I SHOULD HAVE CLARIFIED IT'S THE NON TITLE RELATED HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT YES OKAY THAT WAS GONNA BE MY QUESTION TO SO ALONG THE COAST HERE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PRESUMABLY THOSE PROPERTIES WERE NOT AS AFFECTED OR MINIMALLY EFFECTIVE, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A COASTAL.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: EVENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: RIGHT UNLESS UNLESS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN STORM WATER DRAIN OR STORM WATER SIMULATED BUT THERE WAS NO, WE DID NOT HAVE WATER, YOU KNOW COMING FROM YOU KNOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TITLE CHANGE COMING UP MILTON YOU KNOW COMING ALONG THE COAST PINE ISLAND COMING ALONG AND NURSING ISLAND IN THE IN THE LIGHT AS IT AS IT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE IF THIS EMAIL, AND YOU KNOW, IN THE CASE OF HENRI WE DID GET SOME OF THAT, FOR EXAMPLE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S BECAUSE ANDRE PROBABLY HAD MORE WIND IT'S USUALLY THE WIND THAT CAUSES MORE OF THE COASTAL FLOODING, BECAUSE IT EXACERBATES THAT STORM SURGE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND HENRI WE DID HAVE A A TITLE FLOOD WARNING THAT ACCOMPANY THE STORM IN THIS CASE, IT WAS JUST A FLASH FLOOD WARNING, THERE WAS NO THERE WAS NO TITLE FLOOD WARNING, THERE WAS NO WATCH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: RIGHT KRISTIN YOU'RE THE NEXT ONE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL JUST TO IN TERMS OF SCOPING WHAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT THAT ANYBODY ON ZOOM OR ON THE COUNCIL HASN'T SEEN IT IN TERMS OF CITY PROPERTY DAMAGE WE DIDN'T LOSE THE ENTIRE FIRST FLOOR THE LOCUSTS HAPPENING FIREHOUSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID HAVE FLOODING IN THE BASEMENT I'LL BE A NOT HIGH, BUT SOME YOU KNOW FLOODING ON THE IN THE BASEMENT OF CITY HALL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID HAVE SOME MINOR DAMAGE AND LOSS OF DOCKER IMAGE COUPLE OF FINGERS AT THE BOAT BASIN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID HAVE DAMAGE ALL THAT WE'VE MET FULLY ASSESSED INTO THE THEODORE FROM WALL ADJACENT TO THE BACK OF CAR PARK I GUESS THAT'S THREE ALONG THEODORE FROM WHICH WAS AND HAS ALREADY BEEN PART OF A REBUILD GOING BACK TO SANDY I GUESS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID HAVE DAMAGE TO SOME OF THE CITY STREETS, I THINK THE MOST OBVIOUS OR THE THE MOST EASILY SAME IS THAT IN FRONT OF ON PURCHASE STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF THE ARCADE BUILDING WHERE YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE STREETS COLLAPSED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT THAT THAT IS CITY WIDE WE DID ALSO HAVE SOME MINOR DAMAGE, WE HOPE, OR BELIEVE UP THE BOWMAN AVENUE DAMN I CAN'T TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COSMETIC AND SOME WIRING, BUT WE DO HAVE THAT UNDER REVIEW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THAT'S THAT'S THE MAJOR CITY BASED DAMAGE DAMAGE IS THE BUSINESS IT'S PORSCHE, AS WE ALL KNOW, PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT RELATED TO BLIND BROOK SO YOU KNOW I'M THE GUESS THAT'S THE SOUTH WEST SIDE OF.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PURCHASE STRAIGHT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SOME OF THE MOST VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE YMCA THE WHOLE FIRST BASEMENT OF THE RIDE FREE READING ROOM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THEN, IN TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL DAMAGE NEARLY EVERY RESIDENT OF THE BEEF OR SWAMP AND ONE NON TITLE FLOOD ZONES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THEN WE HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL DIMENSION, AND THAT IS CITYWIDE FLOODING I CALL IT LOCALIZED BUT LOCALIZED IN THOSE AREAS RELATED TO THE STORM WATER SYSTEM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT WAS JUST OVERWHELMED WHERE YOU HAD THE HOMES WITH YOU KNOW FIRST FLOOR FLOODING OR GARAGES BELOW GREAT WHERE THE WATER JUST FUNNELED IN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OKAY KRISTIN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BEFORE GETTING INTO LESSONS LEARNED, I JUST WANTED TO HIT SOME HIGH POINTS OF THE CITY PREPARATION AND THEN SOME OF THE EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND THEN GO INTO KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT GOING FORWARD.

[00:45:03]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ON THE 31ST DP W REGULAR ORDER PRIOR TO THE STORMS DOES YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE CERTAIN CATCH BASINS IN CERTAIN AREAS THAT ARE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PROBLEMATIC WEATHER BECAUSE OF DEBRIS REGULAR DEBRIS AND THEY DID GO AROUND THE 31ST AND SERVICE THOSE PROBLEMATIC CATCH BASINS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR THERE WERE SOME THAT WERE CLEARED IN THE AFTERMATH OF HENRI.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT WERE NOTED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THERE WERE THOSE WERE INSPECTED AND CLEARED IN TERMS OF PUBLIC WORKS STAFFING WE HELD OVER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT AND WE PUT THE PW WORKERS ON STANDBY IN PREPARATION FOR THIS FOR THE STORM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN TERMS OF STAFFING AND THIS REALLY WAS NOT PRE BUT DURING THE STORM, THE PERIOD BETWEEN 5PM ON THE FIRST AND MIDNIGHT OR 12PM RATHER ON THE SECOND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU'LL SEE OUR STAFFING THERE DP DEBBIE THAT'S BASICALLY 100% STAFFING DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT PROBABLY REPRESENTS 75% OF OUR TOTAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS EFFECTIVELY FULLY STAFFED DURING THAT PERIOD, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT 18 HOUR, YOU KNOW PERIOD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PRIOR TO THE STORM, AS WE NORMALLY DO PUBLIC WORKS VEHICLES WERE PREPPED WITH CLEANUP EQUIPMENT, CHAIN SAWS THINGS PREPARED TO DO STORM CLEARING AND ALSO BARRICADE STOP SIGNS AND THE LIKE TO DEAL WITH FLOODING DURING THE STORM ON THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: MIDDAY ON THE FIRST WE DID REQUEST A CONTENT LIAISON AS WE TYPICALLY DO, THAT WAS A REMOTE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: LIAISON DURING THE STORM AND THEN THEY WERE ON SITE AT 7AM AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS, THE MORNING OF THE SECOND, BUT AS I SAID, YOU KNOW, THE ISSUE WAS NOT WIND AND TYPICALLY THE WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES BUT MUCH MORE THE STORM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID ESTABLISH AN EMERGENCY SHELTER, IT WAS SOMEWHAT AD HOC AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS AT 1AM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ON THE NIGHT OF THE STORM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT WAS ULTIMATELY MOVED TO DAMIANO AND WE SPOUSES OR FANS TO TRANSPORT 40 INDIVIDUALS FROM THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS THAT HAD BEEN DISPLACED BY THE STORM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TO THE DAMIANO CENTER UNTIL THEY COULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GO FAMILY, FRIENDS OR OTHERWISE, AND THEN WE DID AS WE NORMALLY DO, AND THEN, AS THE STORM APPROACH WE ESTABLISHED EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL RESPONSE BELIEVE BELIEVE BETWEEN POLICE, FIRE AND PUBLIC WORKS, WE RESPONDED TO 500 OR APPROXIMATELY 500 EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE CALLS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 30 EVACUATION RESCUES FROM HOMES INSTALLED CARS AND THERE WERE FOUR INDIVIDUALS WERE ACTUALLY PULLED FROM FROM THE WATER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: UNLIKE ANY OTHER STORM, AT LEAST THAT I'VE BEEN TOLD IN THE HISTORY OF THE CITY PUBLIC WORKS ACTUALLY WAS, IN ADDITION, NOT THAT THEY WERE ALWAYS WILLING TO DO THIS, BUT PUBLIC WORK STAFF WAS ACTUALLY ASSISTANT AND RESCUES BECAUSE THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME, WHERE WE HAD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: A MORE THAN HALF OF OUR POLICE RESCUE PERSONNEL OR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HIGH STREET OR EITHER OF HIGHLAND AND THE WATER WAS RUNNING SO HARD UNABLE TO GET OVER THAT WE HAD ACTUALLY PUBLIC WORK STAFF THAT WAS WORKING ON RESCUES AS WELL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: EVALUATE EVACUATED RESIDENTS WERE HOUSED AT PLEASE TAKE ORDERS, AS I SAID, AND THEN OVERNIGHT WERE TRANSPORTED TO IRAQ.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE DID USE, BUT THE LISTSERV AND CODE READ ON A REGULAR BASIS, BEGINNING AN ATM ON THE MORNING OF THE SECOND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PROVIDE FOR AND MAKE AVAILABLE CLEANUP KITS FOR RESIDENTS AS PROVIDED BY THE RED CROSS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THEN BEGINNING WITHIN A DAY AT THE STORM TODAY'S AT DESTROYING PROVIDED BEGAN PROVIDING FAME INFORMATION TO HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESSES I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT, JUST A MINUTE AS WELL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I'M SUBJECT TO COUNSEL ACTION ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT RETROACTIVE TO LAST WEEK PERMIT FEES FOR STORM DAMAGE REPAIRS WERE WAIVED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE CITY PLANNER BEGAN LAST THURSDAY DOING TWICE WEEKLY PLANNING SERIES FOR RESIDENTS ON RELATED TO REBUILDING THE CITY PERMIT PROCESS WATERPROOFING HOMES AND THE LIKE, AND THOSE ARE THOSE HAVE BEEN DONE FOR BEING DONE TWICE A WEEK STILL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE YMCA DID REACH OUT AND IS COORDINATING WITH RYE REC TO AS WELL AS THE THE SCHOOLS TO MOVE SOME OF THEIR PROGRAMMING AND DAYCARE TO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: DAMIANO AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM AND THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO TO MAKE OUR FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR FOR THE YMCA TO USE, YOU KNOW, TO THE BEST OF THE BEST THAT WE CAN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW ONE THING I DO WANT TO NOTE, AND I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN EFFORTS ACROSS THE CITY TO ASSIST WITH THE LIBRARY TO ASSIST WITH THE YMCA TO ASSIST.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NEIGHBORS I ALSO WANT IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE THE EFFORTS OF A NUMBER OF RESIDENTS AND WORKING FRANKLY ON BEHALF ARE WITH THE CITY ON CLEANUP.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NEXT, PLEASE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I KNOW THAT THERE'S ONGOING CONVERSATIONS AND HAS BEEN OR CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW YORK RISING PROJECTS, I DO WANT TO GIVE YOU JUST A QUICK UPDATE AND I KNOW THAT THIS WILL BE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE'LL BE MORE OF THIS AND THE DAYS AHEAD AS AN AS A COINCIDENCE OF EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON, THEN NEW YORK RISING ACTUALLY BID THE THREE PROJECTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND HAVE AWARDED BIDS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THERE'S ACTUALLY A PRE CONSTRUCTION MEETING TOMORROW RELATED TO THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM AT UNMELTED ROAD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE OTHER TWO PROJECTS, WHICH IS THE SCREEN GAUGE INSTALLATION AND THE TREAT CLEARING IT AT THE POND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THOSE AWARDS WILL BE MADE IN THE NEXT SIX WEEKS CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR AND ALL THREE PROJECTS ARE SCHEDULED TO HAVE PROJECT COMPLETION BY JUNE OF 2022 SO THAT IS THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THE NEW YORK RISING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PROJECTS IT'S THIS THIS DID THIS COME ON THE HEELS, I MEAN THIS STUFF HAS BEEN SITTING THERE FOREVER WE'VE BEEN BUGGING DAZ ME TO MOVE ON THIS STUFF DO WE SO I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS ONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS JUST JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT THEY STARTED MOVING AND NUMBER TWO DO WE HAVE A LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE AT THIS PACE THAT'S DETAIL HERE, GIVEN HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN SITTING ON ON MOVING THESE PROJECTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WELL JULIE, I MEAN, I GUESS, THE FIRST QUESTION, IT IS, I WILL SAY UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE, IT IS A COINCIDENCE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE'VE BEEN I MEAN YOU KNOW KRISTEN AND I ACTUALLY AS EVEN AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY WE WERE TRYING TO FINISH UP SOME OF THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SOME OF THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE MILTON DRAINAGE ITSELF, BUT IN TERMS OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT THE PROJECTS WERE PUT OUT FOR BIDS ABOUT I WANT TO SAY, MAYBE SIX WEEKS AGO, SO IT JUST BY COINCIDENCE, DID HAPPEN THAT EVERYTHING HAS KIND OF COME TO A HEAD NOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF URGENCY TO THE PROJECTS, BOTH BY DAPHNE AND GHOSTS ARE AND BY THE CITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE FUNDING HAS TO BE CLOSED OUT BY FALL I THINK IT'S SEPTEMBER OF 2022 AND THERE IS A PERIOD THAT THEY THAT GOES THROUGH NEEDS.

[00:55:19]

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO MY ONE CONCERN, THEN, IS THESE CONSTRUCTION BIDS WERE DONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PRE STORM AND NOW EVERYBODY'S HAVING TROUBLE FINDING CONSTRUCTION RESOURCES RIGHT TO REBUILD AND ALL OF THAT, SO I JUST YOU KNOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I WOULD, THIS WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD GET THIS MOVING AND SO FORGIVE MY SKEPTICISM BUT WE'VE GIVEN HOW.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS IS YEARS LITERALLY YEARS WE PROVED THIS YEARS AGO AND THE FACT THAT THEY'VE BEEN SITTING ON IT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M GLAD IT'S FINALLY MOVING, BUT I JUST I HOPE THAT THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I KNOW WE WILL BE RELAYING IT BUT DAZ NEED TO MOVE THIS FORWARD AND MEET THESE DEADLINES, BECAUSE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BECAUSE WE JUST HAVE TO WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS TO THIS TO WAIT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WAIT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREG IN WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON THE AWARDS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN OUT IN THE NEXT SIX WEEKS IN THE NOT THE MILTON PROJECT, BUT THE OTHER TWO WHAT'S YOUR LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WELL, WE, THE THE THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: CONFIDENCE I HATE BEING ON RECORD SAYING MY PERSONAL LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT THE THE SPEED TREE CLEARING AT BOWMAN POND RECEIVED, I BELIEVE, FIVE OR SIX BITS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW I, I KNOW THAT AS AS A PROCESS FOR BETTING, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WHOEVER THEY HAVE WORKED TO IS IS UP TO THE TASK, SO TO SPEAK, I'M TOLD THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS ON THE INSTALLATION OF THE SCREEN GAUGE RECEIVED ONE BIT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND KNOW THAT THEY ARE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT OR I'M TOLD THERE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT BETTER SO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I MEAN THIS IS THIS IS CERTAINLY ON THE FRONT OF MY PLATE OUR PLATE COLLECTIVELY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND YOU KNOW WE WILL WE WILL REPORT AS MUCH AS WE CAN, AS SOON AS WE GET INFORMATION ON THEM I THERE'S NOT THERE'S AT THIS POINT THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: EITHER KRISTEN RYAN OR MYSELF OR NOT, ON THE PHONE WITH OR IN CONVERSATIONS WITH SOMEONE FOR ME TO GO THROUGH OUR DESTINY, SO I MEAN IT'S IT'S IT'S REALLY OCCUPYING A LOT OF OUR TIME AS WELL, RIGHT NOW, SO WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE IT AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN, SUBJECT TO DAZZLING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALRIGHT KRISTEN I'M.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FROM MY STANDPOINT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THAT, AS THE BACKGROUND MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR THE CITY, IN MY VIEW, IS IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS RELATED TO WHAT WE LEARNED, THREE WEEKS AGO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS RELATED TO FLOODING AND FLOOD RESPONSE THAT WILL TAKE LONGER TO INSTITUTE WHAT DOESN'T TAKE LONG AND INSTITUTE OR THINGS WE LEARNED FROM AN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS STANDPOINT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF SUCCESSES IN OUR RESPONSE TO THE STORM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT WERE REALLY AS A RESULT OF THE AMAZING WORK BEING DONE BY POLICE, FIRE IN PUBLIC WORKS, BUT IN A SITUATION THAT THAT NONE OF US HAVE SEEN BEFORE, AND THEY HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US IS TO TAKE WHAT WE WITNESSED AND EXPERIENCED AND AND FORMULATE THAT INTO A PLAN THAT WILL BE FOR ANY SIZE STORM, BUT PARTICULARLY FOR AN OCCURRENCE LIKE WHAT WE JUST HAD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ONE OF THE FIRST ITEMS IS IS A CONTINUED REVIEW AND UPDATE OF OUR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, ONE OF THE REAL PROBLEMS THAT WE HAD IN THE STORM AND WE HAVE WITH ANY STORM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IS OUR INABILITY TO HAVE TARGETED ANNOUNCEMENTS WE DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM THAT CAN TARGET A PARTICULAR AREA OF TOWN A PARTICULAR STREET THE BUSINESS DISTRICT OR ANYTHING ELSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND WE ARE GOING TO BE MOVING BY BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR TO A CITY APP THAT WILL ALLOW US TO COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE REGISTERED TO PARTICULAR AREAS OF TOWN, SO IF I WANT NOT I IF THE CITY NEEDS TO COMMUNICATE A MESSAGE TO MILTON POINT THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT IS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT, WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT, AND I THINK THAT THE WAY IN WHICH WE'RE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: COMMUNICATING WITH THE RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY DURING EMERGENCIES IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL.

[01:00:01]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: POSSIBLY ADDING ADDITIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST ON INSTAGRAM WHETHER LOOKING AT FACEBOOK, OR SOMETHING ELSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT AGAIN, STREAMLINING HOW WE ARE COMMUNICATING AND WHAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING WITH OUR RESIDENTS, BECAUSE THERE'S.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS I'VE LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE IN THE LAST SEVERAL STORMS THERE'S THAT FINE LINE BETWEEN CONTINUING TO PEPPER PEOPLE WITH INFORMATION.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT BECOMES SOMEWHAT NUMBING AND ACTUALLY GETTING ACROSS REAL EMERGENCY DIRECTIVES ARE INFORMATION THAT PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS CERTAINLY FOREMOST AND IN MY PLANS AND THE CITY'S PLANS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS YEAR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE IS THAT AT ITS HEIGHT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OUR ABILITY TO DISPATCH POLICE, FIRE AND THEN PUBLIC WORKS BECAME PROBLEMATIC, THERE WAS SOME SHORT TERM POWER OUTAGES BUT JUST SHARE HAVING THE VOLUME OF PEOPLE ON THE ROADS THAT WE DID.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE ARE IN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MIKE AND FEW SO JOHN MCGUIRE AND RYAN CORNER ALREADY WORKING ON.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IS ESTABLISHING A WAY OF HAVING WHAT I CALL A VIRTUAL EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER SO THAT, IF WE HAVE SUPERVISORS THAT ARE IN THE FIELD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO GO THROUGH 60 CONTROL OF THE COUNTY THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO SOLELY RELYING GOING THROUGH THE FRONT DESK AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO DISPATCH PEOPLE IN THE FIELD BETWEEN SUPERVISORS, SO THAT WE CAN GET PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND THAT'S THAT IS ALREADY IN THE WORKS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: MIKE AND FEW SO IS ALREADY REGISTERED AS A GROUP OF BOTH FIRE AND POLICE OFFICERS TO TAKE ADVANCED FLASH FLOODS RESCUE TRAINING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE ARE, WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TRAINED IN WATER RESCUES BUT, GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE STORM WHAT WE LEARNED IS THAT YOU KNOW RESCUES IN FLAT OUT KEY COLUMN FLASH FLOODS, BUT IN THE VOLUME OF WATER THAT WE HAD COMING FOUND THE BLIND BROOK IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT THING AND SO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HYBRID GROUP OF BETWEEN POLICE AND FIRE THAT WILL BE TRAINED, SPECIFICALLY IN THAT RESCUE AND THAT'S THAT IS AGAIN ALREADY UNDERWAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ONE OF THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THINGS I'VE ALREADY THAT I POINTED OUT EARLIER, WAS THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ACCUMULATION OF BOWMAN DAMN IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, WE CLEARLY CANNOT RELY ANY LONGER ON SENDING A POLICE OFFICER OR POLICE OFFICER PERIODICALLY TO THE DAM TO LOOK AT WATER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO WE ARE GOING TO BE INSTALLING AND UTILIZING ADDITIONAL MONITORING DEVICES AT THE DAM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ONE OF THE THINGS I ALSO WANT TO DO, AND THIS PROBABLY WILL BE WORKING WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS IN THE COUNTY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IS TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S WAY TO ADD MONITORING, OR AT LEAST THE RELAY OF INFORMATION OF WHAT'S GOING ON, UPSTREAM, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION AND, OBVIOUSLY, FOR THIS STORM AND POTENTIALLY FOR FUTURE ONES, WE WANT TO HAVE THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: A MINOR ITEM THAT WELL I SAY MINOR AND EXPENSE, BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FLAT BOTTOM SMALL BOATS FOR WATER RESCUES IN TOWN AND IT'S NOT A BIG EXPENSE IT'S NOT A BIG ITEM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT WHAT WE DID LEARN IS THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT RESOURCE, AND SO WE WILL BE MOVING VERY QUICKLY ON.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE CURING AND A COLUMN RESCUE BOATS, THESE ARE NOT BIG TICKET ITEMS, THESE ARE SMALL ALUMINUM FLAT BOTTOM BOATS THAT WE CAN GET INTO STREETS WHERE WE NEED TO GET INTO TO ASSISTANT RESCUES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE, AND I SAY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND, NAMELY THE COURT FACILITIES FOR AN EVACUATION SITE THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S IDEAL IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S APPROPRIATE, WE WILL BE FOUR FEET FOR BEGINNING SHORTLY HAVING A DESIGNATED EVACUATION SITE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NOT JUST STAFFED BUT ALSO SUPPLIED, SO WE WERE SCRAMBLING FOR BLANKETS, WE WERE SCRAMBLING FOR SUPPLIES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THAT'S NOT GONNA THAT'S NOT APPROPRIATE GOING FORWARD SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE WHETHER IT'S A DAMIANO OR SOME OTHER SIDE WILL BE DESIGNATING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: A REGULAR EVACUATION SITE FOR RESIDENTS TO GO TO BUT ALSO FOR OUR EMERGENCY STAFF TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER PEOPLE TO AND IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, OR SNOW STORM OR ANYTHING ELSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS I TALKED ABOUT BEFORE WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO MOVE AHEAD AND MAKE IT AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE THE PROCESS FOR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PERMIT APPLICATIONS AND ALSO JUST THE APPLICATION PROCESS CHRISTIAN MILLER AND THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT STAFF ARE PRIORITIZING ALL BUILDING PROCESS PERMITS AS IT RELATES TO REBUILDING REPAIRS AND THE LIKE, AND SO, BOTH WITH RESIDENCES AS WELL AS BUSINESSES.

[01:05:01]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: RYAN I STARTED MEETING WITH SOME OF THOSE RESIDENTS, THIS WEEK, AND WILL CONTINUE DOING THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I CAN'T PROMISE INSTANT RESULTS, BUT WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING IS SYSTEMATICALLY LOOKING AT ALL OF THOSE AREAS DOING SOME INITIAL REVIEW SOME INITIAL SCOPING OF THE PROBLEM AND SEEING IF THAT CAN RESULT IN EITHER SIZING IN A FINANCIAL OUTCOME, A STRUCTURAL OUTCOME.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT BUT, BUT WE KNOW WE HAVE SOME AREAS IN TOWN THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, AND YOU KNOW AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO DOING THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT, CAN I ASK A QUESTION, A COUPLE THINGS ON THIS, SO WE IN ONE AREA, FOR INSTANCE, HE SAID WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, IS IS SOME OF THESE PIPES ARE OLDER PIPES AND PERHAPS MORE NARROW LIKE ON MIDLAND ROAD TO THE COUNTY ROAD SO THOSE ARE THE SORT OF.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SORTS OF THINGS YOU WOULD PROBABLY IDENTIFYING THIS LAST BULLET AND SO, THEN, MY QUESTION IS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHERE WE'RE AT COUNTY PROPERTY, THIS IS WHERE I'M ASSUMING WE COULD WORK WITH CATHERINE TO HELP GET THOSE THINGS PRIORITIZED AND BUDGETED AS SHE WAS SAYING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN NOVEMBER, I THINK THERE'S A NOVEMBER DEADLINE WHICH I DON'T KNOW WE CAN PULL SOME OF THIS TOGETHER BY THEM TO GET GET SNEAK IT IN THE BUDGET THERE THAT'D BE AMAZING AND IF NOT, AT LEAST GET ON THE DOCKET FOR THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN, IN ADDITION, THOSE MATCHING FUNDS THAT SHE TALKED ABOUT IF WE CAN DO YOU KNOW PROJECTS THAT WILL.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, FOR STORMWATER MITIGATION IS WE IDENTIFY THESE TO GET THOSE MATCHING FUNDS AND INSTANCES WHERE WE'RE YOU KNOW IT'S UNDER YOU KNOW THE CITY.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN FUND AT LEAST HALF OF IT RIGHT SO I'M ASSUMING THE OUTPUT OF THIS ACTION ITEM IS A LIST OF THOSE SORT OF MAYBE RANKED PRIORITIES AND THEN WORKING WITH THE COUNTY AND ALL THE WAY UP TO GET THOSE THINGS FUNDED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S CORRECT, I MEAN WE KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW THAT THE INTERSECTION OR THE FACILITY AROUND THE MIDDLE AND THERE'S A PROBLEM AND THAT'S AND THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN A GREATER ISSUE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: EVEN STARTING I MEAN PRIOR TO HENRI BUT CERTAINLY HENRI AND AN EYE YEAH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO, SO WE DON'T KNOW YET WHETHER THIS IS BECAUSE OF LAST MILE WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE OF LA COUNTY PIPES WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS YET CATHERINE HAS ALREADY TAKEN THE INITIATIVE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TO SETTING UP A MEETING WITH THE COUNTY AND WE'RE STARTING THAT PROCESS I, BUT I WANTED, I ALSO WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT AND UPFRONT WITH EVERYBODY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE'RE GOING TO START WITH CAMERON LINES WE'RE GOING TO START WITH THE LOW HANGING FRUIT, SO TO SPEAK, TO MAKE SURE THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHAT'S THERE WERE AWARE, WE KNOW WHAT THE THE DIAMETER OF THE PIPES, ARE WE KNOW THINGS THAT ARE CLEAR, WE KNOW THE CATCH BASINS, ARE WORKING IN ORDER AND SEE WHETHER THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN BE DOING ON A REMEDIAL BASIS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE STORM WATER LINE REPLACEMENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IS A IS A IS A HUGE UNDERTAKING AND AND I JUST WANT TO BE UPFRONT WITH PEOPLE THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 90 DAYS, THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONGER PROCESS WHAT I'M WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE ARE GOING TO PRIORITIZE JULIE, TO YOUR POINT THE PLACES WHERE WE SEE SYSTEMATIC ONGOING FLOODING ISSUES AROUND STORM THE STORM WATER SYSTEM AND PRIORITIZING THOSE FIRST.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND SEEKING FUNDING AND SEEKING SOLUTION TO THE BEST THAT WE CAN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I THINK I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC AND I THINK THIS THIS SORT OF.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TIMELINE OF OF YOU KNOW, EMERGENCY RESPONSE MEASURES YOU KNOW WHETHER IT COMES TO HAVING TO GET ADDITIONAL RESCUE BOATS WHICH, WITH THE INCREASE IN.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THESE EXTREME STORM EVENTS, SADLY, WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED EVEN MORE OF THE PRIORITIZATION I KNOW I'M GOING TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD OF STORMWATER MEASURES SO THAT WE HAVE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, FIRST AND FOREMOST ON THE MIND IS IS PREVENTION.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN ADDITION TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE, BUT THE PREVENTION, SO THAT WE CAN HELP MITIGATE OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT GOING TO ELIMINATE THE THE FLOODING, BUT YOU KNOW THE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ELEMENTS THAT WE CAN POTENTIALLY ADD WHETHER IT'S BIOS WHALES AND MUNICIPAL PARKING LOTS OR YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LOOKING TO REPAVED ROADS, ADDING IN RAIN GARDENS, AND YOU KNOW OTHER STORMWATER MITIGATION MEASURES THERE'S FUNDING FOR THAT AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S A WAY TO INCORPORATE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE INTO OUR CI P AS AS A SECTION, SO THAT WE HAVE.

[01:10:12]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: PROJECTS YOU KNOW, ON A 510 YEAR OR YOU KNOW LONG TERM BASIS, SO.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THIS CONCEPT OF A STORM WATER PREVENTION PROGRAM I THINK IS IS IS ONE THAT OBVIOUSLY THE CITY CAN DO FROM AN OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE AND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW I WOULD HOPE THAT GOING FORWARD, THE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I THINK THAT THE EITHER GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE DEPENDENCY, A GREAT IDEA.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: RIGHT KRISTA AND I'M SURE WHAT WE'VE GOT AFTER THIS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE WE GO UM THE LAST THING I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS WILL TRANSITION TO SOMEONE FROM THE SBA.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IF FOR ANYBODY ANY RESIDENTS THAT ARE WATCHING TONIGHT.

KRISTEN WILSON: HAVE A FEW HANDS THAT ARE RAISED SUKI EVENT DATE IS THE FIRST.

KRISTEN WILSON: SUKI UNMUTE YOURSELF THERE YOU GO.

SUKI VAN DIJK: I THANKS GUYS, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T SEE ON GREG'S EXCELLENT LIST OF ACTION ITEMS. SUKI VAN DIJK: ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAD HERE IN IDA AND IN KOREAN AND OTHER STORMS ON MOUNTAIN POINT IS, WE DON'T HAVE RELIABLE CELL SERVICE, AND I KNOW I'VE BROUGHT THIS UP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, SO WHAT HAPPENS IS EVERYBODY HERE RELIES ON RUNNING THEIR.

SUKI VAN DIJK: THEIR SELF SERVICE THROUGH THEIR WI FI SO IF I WANT TO MAKE A CELL PHONE CALL IF THE POWER IS DOWN, I HAVE TO GO STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF DEARBORN.

SUKI VAN DIJK: AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT THIS GREAT IDEA FOR ALL THIS TERRIFIC COMMUNICATIONS WITH PEOPLE WE CAN'T GET IT AND WE'VE BEEN ASKING I KNOW GROUPS HAVE BEEN ASKING.

SUKI VAN DIJK: FOR YEARS, TO FIND A WAY TO GET US CELL SERVICE, AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THINGS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS DESPERATELY NEEDED HERE ARE 911 CALLS GO TO LONG ISLAND.

SUKI VAN DIJK: FROM THE POINT AND THEN GET ROUTED BACK HERE, AND IF OUR GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US IN THIS WAY, YOU HAVE TO GET A SERVICE, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU SUKI IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON I'M HOPEFUL THAT THINGS WILL IMPROVE FOR AT LEAST PART OF MILTON POINT WHEN THE TRANSMITTERS IN THE TWO TOWER BUILDING IT RIGHT TOWN PARKER TURNED ON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WISH IT HAD BEEN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AT MEMORIAL DAY, AS PROMISED, OR EVEN AT LABOR DAY, AS PROMISED, BUT THAT SHOULD COME SOON IT WILL NOT HELP ALL OF MILTON POINT AND THERE'S MORE TO BE DONE.

KRISTEN WILSON: NEXT, WE HAVE ZACH.

ZAK: YES, THANK YOU UM MOST OF WHAT I HEARD HAS BEEN AROUND THE DISCUSSING THE BLIND BROOK AND THE ISSUES AND POTENTIAL TO MITIGATE FUTURE SUCH STORMS, BUT I LIVE BY THE BEAVER SWAMP BROOK AND NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE CATASTROPHIC FLOODING.

ZAK: DURING.

ZAK: DURING ITEM BUT ALSO DURING HENRI AND I FEEL LIKE TWO OR THREE WEEKENDS BEFORE HENRI.

ZAK: AND HER DRIVEWAY FLOODS, YOU KNOW FLOODED AND EVEN THE PARK AVENUE BRIDGE OVER THE GROUP FLOODED SORRY FOR THE NOISE UM SO I FEEL LIKE THIS KIND OF THINGS MORE OF A LOW HANGING FRUIT AND IT'S THE ISSUE OCCURS MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES WHICH ARE.

ZAK: IMPORTANT BUT MIGHT OCCUR LESS FREQUENTLY SO WITH NATIONWIDE ATTENTION TO THIS AREA, I WONDER IF.

ZAK: YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO ADDRESS THIS THIS PART OF TALENT AS WELL, SO MY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, OR ARE THERE PLANS FOR THE RESPONSE BROOKE.

ZAK: AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THE MEETINGS THAT ARE BEING HELPED WITH RESPECT TO THIS AREA, AND ALSO HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE ON ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE, SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THIS THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: ZACH COULD YOU JUST STATE YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS, FOR THE RECORD.

ZAK: ZACH WILL ANNOUNCE KEY 335 PARK AVENUE.

KRISTEN WILSON: THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND KRISTEN YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP US HERE BEAVER SWARM ITSELF.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SEEMS TO FALL INTO HARRISON JURISDICTION.

KRISTEN WILSON: ACTUALLY ABOUT.

KRISTEN WILSON: OUR BOUNDARY GOES RIGHT TO THE MIDDLE OF IT.

SO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THERE SHOULD BE JOINT EFFORTS WITH RESPECT TO THAT.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES, IN THE PAST ONE BE RESPOND BROKE ISSUES HAVE COME UP WE'VE WORKED WITH WITH HARRISON SO.

KRISTEN WILSON: THAT WOULD LIKE THEY NEED TO HAPPEN THIS TIME AROUND, AS WELL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: NEXT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SPEAKER, PLEASE.

KRISTEN WILSON: THERE ARE NO MORE HANDS RAISED AT THIS TIME.

KRISTEN WILSON: YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, IF YOU COULD JUST RAISE YOUR HAND.

HERE.

KRISTEN WILSON: FRASER WOODFORD.

FRASER WOODFORD: THANK YOU, THIS IS A PHRASE OR WORD FOR 24 LOW IN COURT.

[01:25:03]

FRASER WOODFORD: THAT IT WOULD BE WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CITY AND THE COUNTY THE STATE TO FIND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS SO CLEARLY IT'S A LACK OF THE WILL OF EFFORT NOW WE'VE HEARD THE.

FRASER WOODFORD: VARIOUS PARTIES THAT MAY SHARE SOME OF THE BLAME HERE BUT GOING FORWARD, HOW DO WE GET THIS DONE YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF RESIDENTS THAT ARE QUITE TICKED OFF FRANKLY LOST A LOT OF MONEY.

FRASER WOODFORD: LOST A LOT OF POSSESSIONS, A LOT OF SENTIMENTAL POSSESSIONS SO WHO DO WE NEED TO PUT PRESSURE ON WHAT CAN THE CITIZENS HERE DO TO MOVE THIS FORWARD, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, COINCIDENTALLY OR NOT, YOU KNOW WE FINALLY GOT SOME SOME MOVEMENT HERE.

FRASER WOODFORD: MANY, MANY YEARS LATER LET'S NOT WAIT ANOTHER SEVEN YEARS TO GET TO THE NEXT STAGE, AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION HERE IS.

FRASER WOODFORD: IT SEEMS A RIGHT TRADITION TO BUY A HOUSE TEAR IT DOWN PUT TWO HOUSES ON THAT LOCK THERE'S ALSO BEEN A LOT OF OTHER DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY.

FRASER WOODFORD: TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HAS INFLUENCED OUR DRAINAGE PROBLEMS HERE AND HOW WILL WE THINK ABOUT THAT GOING FORWARD AS WE PERMIT NEW CONSTRUCTION, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OH I'LL TRY TO ANSWER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THOSE ACTUALLY QUESTIONS THAT DESERVE REALLY LENGTHY ANSWERS BRIEFLY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE BEST I THINK THE BEST WAY TO GET SOMETHING DONE IS THROUGH OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION THAT IS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE CORE HAS EVALUATED US ON ITS OWN, FOR ONE LEVEL OF PROJECT, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY, THE CORE HAS TOLD US OF SEEKING GREATER FUNDING THROUGH CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORIZATION AND WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO OUR ENTIRE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO OPEN THOSE TALKS, BUT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IT WOULDN'T HURT A BIT FOR RESIDENTS TO BE LETTING THEIR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION KNOW AND THAT'S CONGRESSMAN BOWMAN AND OUR SENATOR SCHUMER AND GILLIBRAND KNOW THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE RESIDENTS OF RYE ARE EXPECTING MORE HELP FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THEN WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE SO FAR AND, MIND YOU, IT WAS SENATOR GILLIBRAND WHO DID HELP US TWO YEARS AGO WITH AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CORE AND IT'S SENATOR JOE BRANDS REP WHO HAS ACTUALLY TOURED BLIND BROOK FROM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: FROM INDIAN VILLAGE DOWN DOWN TO MILTON HARBOR SO IT'S IT'S NOT AS IF THERE HAS BEEN IN ATTENTION AND AS CATHERINE PARKER POINTED OUT CONGRESSMAN BOWMAN DID COME AND VISIT WITH US A WEEK AGO AND IS AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO I, I HOPE THAT THAT'S HELPFUL AT LEAST AS A RESPONSE TO TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION SECOND QUESTION IT'S MY PERSONAL BELIEF THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT LIMITATIONS ON DEVELOPMENT ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON DEVELOPMENT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HOW WE, AS THE COUNCIL GO FORWARD WITH THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE INTEND TO TAKE UP.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT OF COURSE IS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT THAT WILL BE AND HOW CAN I PUT IT, THAT THAT WILL BE AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION WITH I THINK MANY DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SO IF I COULD SAY I COULD SUMMARIZE THREE PROJECTS THAT COULD BE DONE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ONE WOULD STATE HELP AT SUNY PURCHASE IT, WE CAN GET A PIECE OF LAND THERE TO PUT A DETENTION POND UP THERE ON VACANT LAND THEY HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE COULD PUT PRESSURE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WITH THE NEW GOVERNOR THERE THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND WITH OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION, WE COULD PUT PRESSURE TO PUT A BIG DIG ON THE BOWMAN UPPER BOWMAN DAMN.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: POND WHICH IS NON EXISTENT IT'S NOT A POND IT'S A FOREST IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN DISREGARDED IT'S BEEN LEFT TO JUST GROW FOR FOREVER AND.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE KNOW, IN COMBINATION WITH THE BIGGER BIG DICK WE CALL IT AND IT'S LOOSE GATE PROGRAMMING, WE CAN MITIGATE FOR ABOUT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: ALMOST A FOOT OF WATER COMING DOWN HI TO HIGHLAND ROAD FROM THE DAM SO THOSE ARE CONCRETE PROJECTS AND CONCRETE IDEAS AND WE NEED TO PUT JUST MONEY.

[01:30:09]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DO WE HAVE ANY MORE SPEAKERS.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES, WE HAVE SEVERAL SOON DRUON.

SUE DROUIN: HI.

SUE DROUIN: HELLO.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES.

SUE DROUIN: THE CITY OF RYE NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION TO INSIST ON GETTING A SEAT AT THE TABLE ON WHAT HAPPENS UPSTREAM ON THE BLIND BROOK.

SUE DROUIN: FROM WHAT WE HEARD FROM LEGISLATURE, OR IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH NO CONTROL OR EVEN MONITORING ACCESS TO THE BOWMAN ABBY AND DAMN, WE MUST INSIST ON COLLABORATION BETWEEN NUDISTS MUNICIPALITIES, THE COUNTY AND THE STATE.

SUE DROUIN: SEC RIGHT NEEDS TO DRASTICALLY RETHINK OUR BUILDING CODES.

SUE DROUIN: WE NEED STRICTER CONTROLS ON OUR BUILDING PERMITS, IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE NEGLIGENT AND RECKLESS TO ALLOW OVER DEVELOPMENT, THE WAY THAT YOU HAVE.

SUE DROUIN: CERTAIN DEVELOPERS ABUSE OUR CODES THEY RIP OUT TREES, THEY EXCAVATE INTO BEDROCK AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR FAR TOO LONG HERE IN RIGHT.

SUE DROUIN: THESE VERY DEVELOPERS WHO LET OUR KIDS CLEAN UP THEIR DEBRIS FROM RYAN NATURE CENTER.

SUE DROUIN: THEY HAVE ALSO OVER BUILT IN FLOODPLAINS PRONE AREAS LIKE LUCAS TO HAVING YOU.

SUE DROUIN: THANK YOU MAYOR FOR SAYING WE NEED TO KNOW LIMITATIONS ON DEVELOPMENT, THE TIME HAS COME, AND YOU NOW HAVE A MANDATE.

SUE DROUIN: THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER GODDARD FOR MENTIONING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, MY HOME IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM A WETLAND AND WE DID NOT, BECAUSE DESPITE HIS NAME, IT IS A GIANT SPONGE.

SUE DROUIN: A PLAN TO PROTECT AND RESTORE OUR WETLANDS AND WETLAND BUFFERS IS DESPERATELY NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND SEQUESTER THURS THANK YOU.

KRISTEN WILSON: NEXT IS A GENEVIEVE LOVER LOVER.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: HI, THIS IS ACTUALLY CAN GILMORE GENOVESE HUSBAND, CAN YOU HEAR ME.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: YES.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: HI.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CAN WE CAN'T HEAR YOU NOW.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: YOU CAN HEAR ME NOW.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: SO THERE'S A CREEK THAT RUNS DIRECTLY BEHIND OUR HOUSE AND IT GOES TO PLAY LAND PARKWAY AND CROSSES UNDERPLAY LAND PARKWAY THROUGH TWO TUBES THAT ARE ABOUT 24 INCHES IN DIAMETER.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: THOSE TUBES WERE OVERWHELMED THEY COULDN'T HANDLE THE VOLUME OF WATER THAT WAS COMING DOWN BEHIND THEM AND PLAY LAND PARKWAY AXES DAMN.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: BLOCKS THAT WATER FROM CROSSING OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE, WHERE WE GO THROUGH THE NURSERY FIELD, AND THEN THE CEMETERY OUT TO THE LONG ISLAND SOUND, THERE WAS A THIRD TUBE I GO DOWN THERE AND I INSPECT THEM, WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT COLLAPSED INSIDE QUITE A WHILE AGO.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: SO NOW THERE'S LITERALLY 224 INCH TUBES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HANDLE ALL THAT WATER THAT WAS SITTING ON PLAYLAND I'M ON MIDLAND AVENUE AND THE LAKE BEHIND OUR HOUSE, WHICH IS TYPICALLY A STRING.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: IS ANYBODY LOOKING INTO THAT MITIGATION THERE OR IS THAT A COUNTY PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S PLAYING ON PARKWAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT IS IT IS COUNTY IT IS COUNTY RIGHT AWAY AND COUNTY PROPERTY, BUT WE, I WILL CERTAINLY MAKE NOTE OF THAT WILL ADD IT TO THE LIST OF THINGS WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO THE COUNTY ABOUT.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: AND, BEFORE I GO ON THAT SAME POINT AFTER HENRI THAT THE NEW PATH THAT THEY PUT A LONG WAY LAND PARKWAY IT CUT DOWN A NUMBER OF TREES AND THEY LEFT A.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: GIANT PILES A LOT RIGHT NEXT TO THESE TUBES THAT COULD FLOW AND CLOGGED THESE TUBES UPON A STORM AND THERE WAS IN BETWEEN THE TWO STORMS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAPPENED BECAUSE THE BACKUP WE HAD SOMETHING I'VE BEEN HERE 12 YEARS I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

GENEVIEVE WEBER: MY ALSO SURROUNDED BY WATER ON THREE SIDES.

KRISTEN WILSON: NEXT, WE HAVE JOSEPH DONLEY.

[01:35:01]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES, JOSEPH.

JOSEPH DONLEY: MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED NEXT TO RYE GOLF CLUB FOR 35 YEARS WE'VE BEEN MEMBERS OF THE CLUB DURING THAT PERIOD.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND WE'VE ALREADY WRITTEN TO THE MAYOR AND SEVERAL COUNCIL MEMBERS ABOUT THE PROPOSED RENOVATION OF HOLES FOUR THROUGH SIX WHICH WOULD ENTAIL REMOVING AT LEAST 70 OR 80 TREES, IF NOT MORE, AND AND PIPING OVER A STRING.

JOSEPH DONLEY: THE RATIONALE OF THE CLUB, THE GOAL OF THE CLUB AND DOING THIS IS DESCRIBED AS QUOTE IMPROVING THE GOLFER EXPERIENCE AND IT WOULD IT WOULD RESULT IN THE HOLES GETTING A LITTLE SHORTER AND PERHAPS EASIER FOR SOME GOLFERS.

JOSEPH DONLEY: BUT WE THINK COMPARED TO THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE THAT'S NOT A SUFFICIENT RATIONALE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAG SEVERAL HOMES ON ALLENDALE WERE FLOODED IN IN HURRICANE IDA.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND ONE HAD UP TO NINE FEET OF WATER, BUT THERE IS WE'VE WE'VE EXPLAINED THAT IN LETTERS TO TO YOU, BUT THERE IS A MATTER THAT I THINK REQUIRES MORE URGENT ATTENTION, AND THAT IS THE CURRENT TREE REMOVAL PROGRAM.

JOSEPH DONLEY: OF THE RIGHT GOLF CLUB, WE HEARD THE BUZZ SAWS GOING LAST MONDAY, WHEN THE CLUB WAS CLOSED, ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS CONTACTED MAYOR CONE WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE CLUB.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND THEY SAID, THIS IS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THERE ARE SOME TREES THAT HAVE ASH BORER DISEASE THERE WERE SOME TREES THAT WERE DAMAGED BY THE STORM.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND THAT'S ALL THAT THEY WERE DOING SO, WE FOLLOW IT UP AND ASK THE CLUB TO SEND US A LIST OF THE TREES THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY SLATED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THEY DID SEND US THEY SENT US TWO ITEMS, THEY ARE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS 21 DASH ONE AND 21 DASHBOARD TO.

JOSEPH DONLEY: WHICH I ASSUME, PERHAPS THE CITY MANAGER HAS.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND THEY CONTAIN SCORES AND SCORES OF TREES PROPOSAL OR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

JOSEPH DONLEY: HAS 49 TREES ON IT, AND ONE OF THE ITEMS, ONE OF THE LINE ITEMS FIRST IS 75 SEPARATE TREES SO POTENTIALLY 120 TREES SLATED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REMOVAL JUST JUST NOT PLAUSIBLE, IN OUR VIEW, JUST THE OTHER REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL.

JOSEPH DONLEY: DOES APPLY TO OTHER HOLES, NOT JUST.

JOSEPH DONLEY: THE HOLES, FOUR AND FIVE NEAR ALLENDALE.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND IT DOES LIST A DESCRIPTION OF WHY THESE TREES ARE SLATED FOR REMOVAL.

JOSEPH DONLEY: THERE ARE 41 TREES ON THAT LIST AND ONLY 13 OF THEM ARE DESCRIBED AS HAVING A PROBLEM, LIKE ASH BORER DISEASE OR HAVING BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

JOSEPH DONLEY: THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ASS TREES ON THESE LISTS IS QUITE SMALL SO SO WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US.

JOSEPH DONLEY: TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS THAT ARE BEING DESCRIBED AS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WHICH SEEM TO TO BE THE FIRST STEPS IN THIS RENOVATION PROJECT, AND I.

JOSEPH DONLEY: I KNOW THE CITY HAS A CODE AND THE CODE HAS PROVISIONS ON TREE REMOVAL AND THEY APPLY TO BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROPERTY, AND I KNOW THE CITY HAS A TREATY MANAGE.

JOSEPH DONLEY: AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE TREE MANAGER GET INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS AND MAKE OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENTS ABOUT WHETHER THESE TREES, NEED TO BE REMOVED.

JOSEPH DONLEY: IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM PLAUSIBLE TO ME THAT THAT THEY'RE UP TO 120 TREES THAT SUDDENLY REQUIRE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, SO THAT IS ONE ONE ITEM, I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR TO.

[5. Consideration to retroactively waive through March 30, 2022, certain building permit fees related to repairs for flood damage and certain fees related to flood mitigation projects such as elevating homes, flood proofing a business or building a new home that has been deemed to be substantially damaged by Ida and requires reconstruction compliant with FEMA flood standards.]

JOSEPH DONLEY: THE ORIGINS OF THIS PROPOSAL ON HOLDS FOUR THROUGH SIX IS IS A MYSTERY, AND WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE SHED SOME LIGHT ON HOW THIS PROPOSAL CAME TO BE THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JOSEPH THANK YOU WERE AS AS I THINK I'VE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: EXPLAINED TO YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE GOLF CLUB MISTAKENLY THOUGHT THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DURING THE PERIOD THAT THEY WERE IN VIRTUAL MEETINGS PREVIOUSLY THEY DIDN'T NEED TO PREPARE WRITTEN MINUTES AND THOSE MINUTES ARE BEING PREPARED AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE GOLF CLUB WILL IS REVIEWING THE MINUTES AND WE'LL BE PASSING THEM AT ITS PUBLIC SESSIONS IN OCTOBER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BEN YOU MIGHT COMMENT ON THAT TOO, I HAVE THAT RIGHT.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT YES I'M I KNOW THEY'RE GOING BACK TO TO RECTIFY THAT AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU IT'S GREAT TO SEE THINGS MOVING AND I ASSUME THAT THE SEWER PROJECT PROGRESS IS WELCOMED BY SAVE THE SOUND.

RYAN COYNE: YES, ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE ARE PART OF THAT.

RYAN COYNE: AGREEMENT WITH SAY THE SOUND AND SEPARATELY WITH THE WITH THE DC SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING THOSE DONE WE HOPEFULLY CAN START, SOME OF THEM THIS CALENDAR YEAR WITH A EXPECTED COMPLETION WEATHER WEATHER BREAKS IN THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR, SO IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF.

RYAN COYNE: A LOT OF WORK OVER THE WINTER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT'S GREAT THANK YOU RYAN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CHRISTIAN THANK YOU AS WELL, SORRY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AGAIN, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG GREG BECAUSE ONLINE THE AGENDA LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE, SO UPDATE ON BOTH BASE AND DREDGING NEXT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S CORRECT UM WELL, FORTUNATELY, GIVEN MY LACK OF TECHNICAL PROWESS THERE'S NO PRESENTATION MATERIAL BUT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: I DO WANT TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND GIVE EVERYBODY AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE WITH PLANNING FOR BOTH BASIN AND CHANNEL DREDGE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN THE AGENDA PACKAGES A MEMO THAT COVERS ALL OF THIS IN GREATER DETAIL, IT IS ALSO POSTED ON THE CITY WEBSITE UNDER COUNCIL ACTION ITEMS DEALING WITH CALLBACKS SO THAT IS A FOLDER NOW OR ITEMS, SPECIFICALLY ON THE BOAT BASE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND RYAN IS STILL AROUND IN CASE THERE ARE MORE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, BUT AT A HIGH LEVEL THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BEGINNING IN THE 1950S, WHEN THE CITY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY FOR THE BASE AND THERE HAS BEEN REGULAR DREDGING OF BOTH THE CHANNEL AND THE MARINA.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT TOOK PLACE EVERY FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS WITH THE ARMY CORPS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHANNEL DREDGE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: UNFORTUNATELY, BEGINNING IN THE LATE 80S EARLY 90S, THE ARMY CORPS FUNDED DREDGES BEGAN TO WANE, AND IN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: 1992 SINCE 1992 THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE OR NO PROGRESS ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKING OVER ANY ONGOING OR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITY, THE LAST CITY DREDGE TOOK PLACE IN 2013 AND WAS FUNDED BY FAMOUS PART OF THE SANDY REIMBURSEMENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE BOAT BASIN COMMISSION CITY STAFF HAVE BEEN WORKING ON BOTH THE OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PLAN TO DREDGE BOTH THE CHANNEL AND THE BASIS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: UNTIL RECENTLY SILT WAS REMOVED AND DEPOSIT OFF SHORE, IN THE LONG ISLAND SOUND FOR BOTH THE CHANNEL AND BASIS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: UNFORTUNATELY, THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS STATUTORY AND REGULATORY CHANGES AND OFFSHORE DISPOSAL IS MUCH MORE RESTRICTED TODAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS A RESULT, WE'RE LIMITED IN THE AMOUNT WE CAN REMOVE FROM THE CHANNEL IN A COST EFFECTIVE MANNER AND ALL THE BOAT BASED AND SELL DISPOSITION HAS TO BE DONE UP LAND AND CANNOT TAKE PLACE OFFSHORE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THIS HAS CAUSED THE PROJECT COSTS TO INCREASE DRAMATICALLY AS A REGULATORY MATTER, THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS SUBJECT TO THE NEW ENGLAND CORE THE NEW YORK CORE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: REGULATORY APPROVAL, THE NEW YORK, THE DC AS WELL AS THE SISTER AGENCY IN CONNECTICUT, WHICH IS THE CONNECTICUT DE DE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW AND APPROACH TO THE PROJECT AND IN THE MEMO ITSELF ON BROKEN THE OVERVIEW INTO TWO PARTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BECAUSE THE PROCESS, EVEN THOUGH THE TIME IS IS IDENTICAL AND PROCESSES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND THAT'S THE CHANNEL AND THE BASIN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TO MAKE THE CHANNEL NAVIGABLE FOR MOST BOATS WILL NEED TO DREDGE IT TOO IN DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY FIVE FEET AND A WIDTH OF 75 FEET.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HISTORIC WITH THE CHANNEL WAS DREDGE DEEPER AND WIDER, HOWEVER, DUE TO PERMIT LIMITATIONS FOR OPEN WATER DISPOSAL WE'RE LOOKING TO DOWNSIZE THAT DREDGE IN THE SCOPE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND STILL MEET THE OVERALL NEEDS BASED UPON THIS PLAN, WE WOULD EXPECT THE COST OF THE CHANNEL DREDGE TO TOTAL APPROXIMATELY $1.5 MILLION, WITH AROUND 100 I'M SORRY, WITH APPROXIMATELY 21,000 CUBIC YARDS OF SILVER BEING REMOVED ALL OF THAT DISPOSED OPEN WATER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOR THE BASED ON THE SCOPE AND THE COST IS SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER AND MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE ALL SILT IN THE BASE AND MUST BE DISPOSED UP LAND, THE COST IS OVER TWO AND A HALF TIMES THAT AT THE CHANNEL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: INITIALLY, THE BASIC COMMISSION WAS HAD REQUESTED A SCOPE DREDGE THAT WOULD RESULT IN 43,000 CUBIC YARDS OF REMOVAL AT THAT SIZE, THE DREDGE WOULD COST SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $7.7 MILLION, WHICH IS FAR GREATER THAN THE AVAILABLE COMMISSION RESOURCES.

[02:05:10]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS I'M SORRY, AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS, THE PERMITS AND APPLICATIONS ARE IN PROCESS THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO PROCEED WITH THE DREDGING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OF BOTH THE CHANNEL AND THE BASIN, BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER OF NEXT YEAR, BUT THE COMPLETION DATE AND TIME FOR THE 2023 SEASON.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THIS IS, OF COURSE, SUBJECT ONGOING APPROVAL AND REGULATORY PROCESS WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH THE NEW YORK DC AS RECENTLY AS THIS WEEK.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HOWEVER, WE DO BELIEVE WE STILL BELIEVE IT'S REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THE PROJECTS IN LATE LATE SUMMER EARLY FALL OF NEXT YEAR AND BE READY TO GO WITH A DREDGE, AS I SAID BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: GOING FORWARD, BASED UPON THE ESTIMATED RATE OF SILTING, WE BELIEVE THAT FIT TO SUSTAIN BOTH THE CHANNEL AND THE BOAT BASE, AND IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO DREDGE EVERY FIVE TO 10 YEARS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE FIVE TO 10 YEARS IS THAT VARIABILITY IS BASED UPON ESTIMATED ANNUAL SILTING RATES OF 23 2200 CUBIC YARDS, AND THE CHANNEL AND 2400 CUBIC YARDS IN THE BASEMENT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THESE ARE COURSE OUR ESTIMATES STORM EVENTS LIKE WE JUST HAD ENTITLED CHANGES ARE GOING TO VARY THESE ESTIMATES, BUT IT'S FAIR TO GUESS 510 YEARS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: A LONGER TERM OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PLAN WILL NEED TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE COURSE OF THE NEXT OF THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THE ATTACHED MEMO TO THE AGENDA, I LAID OUT THE OVERALL FINANCIAL PLAN FOR BOTH THE CHANNEL AND BASED ON.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE BASE AND IS GOING TO TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT AUGUST.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN ORDER TO FINANCE THE DREDGE IT MAY IN FACT REQUIRE YOU, THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER CITY, THE CITY ADVANCING FUNDS OR MAKING BONDS AND CAPACITY AVAILABLE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOR THE CHANNEL THE ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLAR COST BUT NEED TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE OVERALL CAPITAL PLAN, AND IN LIGHT OF OTHER FINANCIAL REQUESTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: MY EXPECTATION IS THAT, AS WE DEVELOP A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE OVERALL CAP BACKS THAT THAT BE ADDED OR CERTAINLY CONSIDERED AS PART OF AS PART OF THAT PLAN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOR BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR FINANCIAL PLAN OVER THE NEXT SIX TO NINE MONTHS THE THE PERMIT PROCESS WILL GO AHEAD, WE DO EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE PERMITS TO PROCEED BY THE END OF NEXT SUMMER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THOSE PERMITS ARE RENEWABLE AND AVAILABLE TO CONTINUE SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE APPLIED FOR THE PROCESS APPLYING FOR THE 43,000 CUBIC YARDS IN THE BOAT BASIN IF WE DID A SMALLER AMOUNT THAT RESIDUAL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OR ADDITIONAL MAP WOULDN'T BE ROLLED OVER AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU KNOW THE YEAR AFTER THE YEAR AFTER THE YEAR AFTER SO WE'RE PROCEEDING ON A TRACK THAT ASSUMES TO DREDGES NEXT FALL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WITH AFFILIATE WITH THE FINANCIAL PLAN TO COME.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG CAN YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IT'S NOT NUTS AND BOLTS SEE BUT CAN YOU DESCRIBE HOW UPLAND DISPOSAL TAKES PLACE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IS IS THE SILT DRAINED AND DRIED BEFORE TRUCKING OR IS IT IS IT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: MOVED SOMEHOW MOVED WET.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WELL, AND I'M GOING TO ASK RYAN TO JOIN AS WELL, BUT THERE, THERE IS IN THAT AGENDA OR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ATTACHED TO THE MEMO THERE IS THERE ARE A HANDFUL OR VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DISPOSE UP LAND DISPOSAL OPERATIONS AND THE WAY THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY CURE OR DON'T YOU'RE THE THE CELL DOES VARY, BUT BRIAN I'LL LET YOU LET YOU WEIGH IN IF YOU'D LIKE.

RYAN COYNE: YEAH SURE THAT.

RYAN COYNE: SO ALL OF THE ABOVE, CAN HAPPEN, BUT THE TWO SITES THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT WOULD TRANSPORT THE SENTIMENT VIA BARGE TO A LOCATION, THAT THEY WOULD EITHER TRUCK TO A LANDFILL, WHERE A BENEFICIAL USE SITE OR A SEPARATE FACILITY.

RYAN COYNE: D WATERS THERE, WHICH IS, I BELIEVE IN NEW JERSEY IN OR NEAR HERE WE DO, THERE IS AN OPTION.

RYAN COYNE: I MEAN IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY MORE EXPENSIVE AND WE'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE TRUCKING BUT IT PHYSICALLY, WE COULD.

RYAN COYNE: TAKE THE SETTLEMENT PUT IT ON LAND D WATER IT HERE AND RYE AND TRUCK IT OUT, BUT IT'S JUST NOT LOGISTICALLY FEASIBLE, GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE PARKING LOT THE.

RYAN COYNE: AND THE OTHER ISSUES THAT COME ALONG WITH THAT SMELLS AND TRUCKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE SO WE'RE LOOKING AT BARGING THE MATERIAL TO A SITE OUT OF STATE WHERE IT'S TAKEN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

[02:10:12]

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, SO THESE SOME BASIC DREDGE SCENARIOS THOSE COSTS UNDER THE VARIOUS SCENARIOS THOSE INCLUDE THE DISPOSAL AS WELL, OR IS IT JUST.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DRAGGING AND THEN I GUESS THE NEXT QUESTION IS IN THOSE MEMOS BELOW, THERE ARE SOME MENTIONED EXCLUDED COSTS DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF SORT OF THE PERCENTAGE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF OR IS THAT WRAPPED INTO THE INTO THE ESTIMATED.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: DREDGING SCENARIOS, OR IS IT DE MINIMIS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, OR IS THERE A PERCENTAGE THAT YOU CAN ESTIMATE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO WE, IN ADDITION, SO WE'RE THE.

CONTINGENCY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT'S IT'S IN THE CONTINGENCY SO WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WE KNOW THE APPROXIMATE COST PER CUBIC YARD TO DISPOSE WHICH IS 60 FOR THE CHANNEL AND 160 I GUESS FOR THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: FOR THE BASEMENT AND THEN A 20% CONTINGENCY TO DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT DOGS HAVE TO BE RELOCATED AND MOVED INSURANCE HAS TO BE CONSIDERED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ETC, AND THAT, AND THOSE ARE ALL BASED UPON COASTLINE CONSULTING AND THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED, TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING YOU KNOW FULLY COST ESTIMATES.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THEN THE THE DEBT SERVICE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M ASSUMING YOU JUST HAVE A BASELINE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW INTEREST RATE.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I KNOW THAT INTEREST RATES ARE GOING UP, SO I JUST I'M WONDERING IF IF YOU HAVE ANY ESTIMATED COSTS HERE BECAUSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WELL, BE IT'S ALL FOR SIMPLICITY IS JUST STRAIGHT LINE, LET ME GIVE YOU THE REASON WHY I'M UNDER STATE MUNICIPAL LAW, YOU CAN ONLY FINANCE A DREDGE FOR FIVE YEARS, SO YOU CAN YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING IT'S IT'S SOME HYBRID BETWEEN AN OPERATING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSE THAT ARE ALL CAPITAL EXPENSE SO FIVE YEARS OF THIS MAXIMUM PERIOD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: GIVEN CURRENT INTEREST RATE SARAH I THINK THE AVERAGE COST FOR FIVE YEARS OF OUR COST OF CAPITAL IS IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 2.4%.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO YOU KNOW AT THIS POINT, AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE SCENARIOS I DIDN'T CONSIDER AN INTEREST EXPENSE, BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO DE MINIMIS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE OVERALL HEALTH PLAN.

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

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND GREG DO WE HAVE A ROADMAP FOR WHAT WE FOLLOWED.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WHEN FEMALE FUNDED AFTER THE STORM SANDY THAT WE CAN APPLY NOW FOR THE DREDGING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND I ACTUALLY I SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT IN MY OPENING REMARKS, OBVIOUSLY WHAT'S HAPPENED THREE WEEKS AGO, HAS HAD A.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON BOTH THE BLIND BROOK AND THE AMOUNT OF SILT IN THE BLIND BROOK AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL SILTING IN THE IN THE BASEMENT SO THE SHORT ANSWER IS WE'RE ABSOLUTELY GOING TO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PURSUE THE SAME ATTACK IS WAS DONE AFTER SANDY TO TRY TO GET AS MUCH OF THIS FINANCE THROUGH FEMA AS WE ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLY CAN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND ONE THING TO BEAR IN MIND AS WE DO, THAT IS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I UNDERSTOOD THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DREDGING WAS PERMITTED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AFTER SANDY AND THAT, FOR SOME REASON, THE CITY DID NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PERHAPS PERMITS LAPSED, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT FACT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: USE AGAIN NOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OR YOU MEAN IN TERMS IF THE QUESTION WAS WHETHER THERE WAS EXCESS AVAILABILITY OR CAPACITY FROM 2000.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: EXACTLY UM.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND FEMA FUNDING FOR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: A GOOD QUESTION WE.

RYAN COYNE: SO, SO WE ACTUALLY GOT FEMA FUNDING AFTER I READ.

RYAN COYNE: AND APPLIED FOR PERMITS BEFORE THOSE PERMITS ARE IN HAND, WE GOT HIT WITH SANDY SO THE VOLUME OF SILT REMOVED WAS FROM THE IRENE PROGRAM WAS INCREASED WITH SANDY DOUBLED UP, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER WAS.

RYAN COYNE: WE RECEIVE THOSE PERMITS AFTER SANDY AND DREDGED I WANT TO SAY 18 OR 19,000 YARDS AFTER SANDY WHICH INCLUDED A PORTION THAT WAS FUNDED THROUGH IRENE AND A PORTION THAT WAS FUNDED THROUGH SANDY.

[02:15:09]

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THERE ANY CHANCE FEMA FUNDING COVERS ANY OF THIS, I MEAN YOU'VE GOT TO THINK THAT THERE'S ADDITIONAL SALT AND EVERYTHING DUMPED IN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE THEY'VE NOT DONE ANY SORT OF SITE VISITS FOR ANYTHING INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED YET IT'S ABSOLUTELY IN GOING TO BE IN THE LIST OF CLAIM DAMAGES FROM THE STORM.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: RIGHT RIGHT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO YEAH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT IT'S IT'S WAY TOO PREMATURE TO SAY ZERO TO 50 TO 100% IS GOING TO BE PAINFUL BUT WE'RE AGGRESSIVELY CERTAINLY GOING TO PURSUE IT AND USING WHAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW 10 YEARS AGO YEARS AGO AS A AS A GUIDE FOR THAT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH NO I WAS JUST I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE FINANCIALS ON THIS AND I.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WAS IT I DIDN'T SEE IT IN THERE, SO JUST GETTING.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND THE BOAT BASE AND WE SORT OF THINK OF THEM SEPARATELY BUT WITH THIS INCREASE SILTING OVER THE YEARS.

SARA GODDARD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THE MORE THAT WE DON'T ADDRESS THE INCREASE SILTING THE MORE THAT THAT AREA OF RYE, WILL BE MORE VULNERABLE TO FLOODING, SO THEY ARE INTERLINKED.

EDWARD PELLON: I'VE ALWAYS HAD ACCESS OR HAD MY OWN BOAT IN THE MARINA SO I'M FAMILIAR WITH MARINA AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY FIRST OF ALL, IT IS JUST TO.

EDWARD PELLON: REITERATE WHAT THE OTHERS WERE SAYING THE MARINA IS AMAZING ASSET FOR EVERY CITIZEN IN RY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BOAT.

EDWARD PELLON: A LOT HAS BEEN PUT ON OUR BACKS OVER THE YEARS WE'VE KEPT IT AT THE MARINA OPEN WITH WITH THE FEES THAT WE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN PAYING.

EDWARD PELLON: AND THERE'S TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COMMERCE, THAT COMES OUT OF THE RIGHT MARINA NOT JUST THE RIGHT MARINA ITSELF, BUT NOW WE HAVE A BOOK CLUB AND WITHIN THE BOAT CLUB, IT HAS BROUGHT IN PEOPLE FROM RYE, MAYBE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 50 ADDITIONAL FAMILIES THAT COME INTO RYE.

JOSH NATHAN: WHICH WAS FUNCTIONING BACK IN 2012 TO 2014 AND I THINK IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT REPORT YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE THAT DREDGING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CODE BASE AND WAS VERY MUCH CONNECTED TO RYE BROOK AND THAT WHOLE.

JOSH NATHAN: WATER WHAT WATERWAY RUNNING FROM THE BASE AND ALL THE WAY TO A BELLMAN DOWN AND SO BOWING DOWN SO YOU MIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE THAT THESE THINGS ARE CONNECTED AND SO IN THIS DISCUSSION.

JOSH NATHAN: DREDGING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE BOAT BASE AND DOESN'T NEED TO BE CONSIDERED SEPARATE AND APART FROM OVERALL WATER MANAGEMENT.

JOSH NATHAN: AND BEST PRACTICES FOR WETLANDS IN TERMS OF STORM RESILIENCE AND FLOOD MITIGATION SO THESE ARE ENJOYMENT OF THAT BOAT BASIN.

JOSH NATHAN: WHICH IS HOPEFULLY THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WHEN WE'RE ENJOYING THE BOAT BASIN IS ALSO CONNECTED WITH SOME OF OUR STORE MANAGEMENT, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT, AND I KNOW.

JOSH NATHAN: OUR CITY MANAGER AND TEAM, YOU KNOW CAN GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT'S IN THAT REPORT, I REMEMBER THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND SARAH WAS ON THAT COMMITTEE WITH ME AT THE TIME.

KRISTEN WILSON: I'M GOING TO ADDRESS.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: GOOD EVENING MARRIED CON AND THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK HERE TONIGHT.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: MY NAME IS MR CHANG AND I'M HERE WITH COUNTRY AND WE ARE SENIORS EVERY HIGH SCHOOL AND MEMBERS OF THE RIGHT ACTING ACTION TEAM.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: MEMBER OF REACT, WE HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING US TO MAKE HEALTHY DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO THE MATTER OF SUBSTANCE USE.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: WE'RE HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF OPTING OUT OF MARIJUANA RETAIL SALES AMOUNT IS IN MY.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: FROM MY WORK THROUGH I ACTUALLY HAVE LEARNED FROM ALCOHOL MORE ACCESS MEANS MORE AND MORE VISIBILITY.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: OF THE SUBSTANCE CAN LEAD TO THE NORMALIZATION OF THE SUBSTANCE, SO THIS MEANS HAVING LOUNGES AND RETAIL SALES IN OUR COMMUNITY CAN LEAD TO MORE ACCESS AND MARIJUANA TO US.

EUNSOO AND KAJOL: WE HOPE THAT YOU PUT THE HEALTH OF US AND OUR PEERS, I HAD $1 AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, YES, THANK YOU.

NANCY.

NANCY PASQUALE: CAN YOU HEAR ME.

NANCY PASQUALE: YES, GREAT WELL THEY'RE A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW.

NANCY PASQUALE: BUT I THINK INTO IN CASUAL FOR SPEAKING, AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU HERE TONIGHT.

NANCY PASQUALE: JUST REAL QUICKLY A FEW THINGS THAT I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER AS YOU'RE MAKING YOUR DECISION HERE TONIGHT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE.

NANCY PASQUALE: AS WE KNOW, THE REGULATORY BOARD FOR MARIJUANA HAS NOT YET.

NANCY PASQUALE: EVEN BEEN CONVENED OR DECIDED ON, LET ALONE PROMULGATED ANY REGULATIONS, THEREFORE, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE REGULATIONS WILL BE, AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THIS LAW GIVES THAT BOARD.

[02:35:07]

NANCY PASQUALE: IN ADDITION, IN STUDIES FROM THE LEGAL STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA HAVE SHOWN THAT THERE IS AN INCREASE IN USE YOUTH USE OF MARIJUANA WITHIN A FOUR MILE RADIUS OF RETAIL DISPENSARIES.

NANCY PASQUALE: AND AGAIN JUST ECHOING THE STUDENTS INCREASED ACCESS EQUALS INCREASE USE, AS WE KNOW, THERE'S A REASON WHY ALCOHOL IS THE NUMBER ONE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AMONG TEENS.

NANCY PASQUALE: IT'S BECAUSE IT IS READILY AVAILABLE, AND IT IS LEGAL AND IT IS EVERYWHERE AND MARIJUANA IS POISED POTENTIALLY TO BE FOLLOWING SUIT.

[14. Consideration to authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc. to secure a software license for a CAD, RMS, and Mobile system utilized by desk officers to record incidence calls, identify the status and location of responders in the field, and effectively dispatch responder personnel.]

NANCY PASQUALE: THERE'S A PERCEPTION THAT IT'S JUST A LITTLE WEED IT'S HARMLESS IT'S IT'S NOT ADDICTIVE I'D LIKE TO SHARE JUST A LITTLE OF THE SCIENCE WITH YOU.

NANCY PASQUALE: THIS ISN'T OUR PARENTS WEED IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT WE GREW UP WITH THAT HAD A TYPICAL THC CONTENT OF THREE TO 4% TODAY'S MARIJUANA RANGES FROM 15 TO 25% THC CONCENTRATION, YOU KNOW CONCENTRATES WAXES DABS AND GO UP TO PUT ONESIES OF 90% AND HIGHER.

NANCY PASQUALE: RETAIL SHOPS WILL BE ABLE TO SELL THAT MARIJUANA TO RIGHT THERE'LL BE ABLE TO SELL DUMMIES AND CANDIES AND EDIBLES.

NANCY PASQUALE: THEY'RE ATTRACTIVE TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST THC CONTENT AMONG ANY MARIJUANA PRODUCTS SO RETAIL SHOPS AND ON SAY CONSUMPTION LOUNGE WON'T JUST BE SELLING A LITTLE WEED LIKE WE THINK OF WHEN WE WERE TEENAGERS THEY'LL BE SELLING GUMMY IS WITH 90% THC CONTENT.

NANCY PASQUALE: I ALSO WANT YOU TO JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT ONE IN NINE ADULTS WHO USE MARIJUANA REGULARLY WILL BECOME ADDICTED AND GIVEN THE UNIQUE VULNERABILITY OF THE YOUTH BRAIN THE ADOLESCENT BRAIN THAT NUMBER GOES TO ONE IN SIX.

NANCY PASQUALE: NATIONAL DATA SHOW THAT YOUTH WHO TEENS WHO HAVE USED ANY MARIJUANA IN THE PAST MONTH OR 5.6 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO USE ALCOHOL.

NANCY PASQUALE: THERE ARE 7.9 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BINGE DRINK KRISTEN I AM ALMOST DONE SO, I PROMISED TO WRAP UP VERY QUICKLY, I SEE LOOKING AT THE CLOCK AND I'M TRYING TO BE MINDFUL.

NANCY PASQUALE: THERE 15 MORE POINT EIGHT TIMES MORE LIKELY TO REPORT HEAVY ALCOHOL USE.

NANCY PASQUALE: THEIR NINE 8.9 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO USE CIGARETTES THERE 9.9 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO USE OTHER ILLICIT DRUGS COMPARED TO THEIR PEERS, WHO DON'T USE MARIJUANA SO ACCESS REDUCE PERCEPTION OF USE OF HARM ALL OF THESE THINGS PLAY A ROLE IN YOUTH YOUTH AND YOUTH USE.

NANCY PASQUALE: IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE'S BRAINS, I WILL FINISH WITH A QUOTE FROM ONE OF THEIR PEERS, WHO SAYS.

NANCY PASQUALE: I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO CONSIDER IS THAT UNDER AGE USE GOES UP IN TOWNS WHERE THERE ARE DISPENSARY'S YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE FACTS USE IN TEAMS IS UNDENIABLY HARMFUL TO THE BRAIN.

NANCY PASQUALE: AND ALTHOUGH WE KNOW THAT DECRIMINALIZATION IS IMPORTANT AS IT REGARDS THE FREEING OF PEOPLE AND PRESENT FROM NONVIOLENT MARIJUANA CRIMES.

NANCY PASQUALE: THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE THERE IS NOT ANY TO ENDANGER THE YOUTH OUR PEERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, IN THIS WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THANKS FOR AN EXTRA MINUTE OR SO, TO FINISH, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THOSE THINGS AS YOU DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO WITH THIS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANK YOU I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MAJOR MOTION OF CLOSE UNLESS THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S TRUE HAVING I THINK WE DID THE NUMBERS ON THIS, I THINK WE THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE LESS THAN.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: LESS THAN $100,000 AND I THINK YOU KNOW PART OF THAT PART OF THE EQUATION IN THE MATH AND THE LEGALIZATION AT A STATE LEVEL WAS SO THAT THOSE TAX REVENUE DOLLARS WOULD ACTUALLY BE CONCENTRATED AND SPREAD OUT TO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COMMUNITIES WHERE YOU'VE HAD CRIMINALIZATION AND ADDICTION AND IN LARGER NUMBERS WHICH WHICH WOULD WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE RIGHT, SO I JUST I THINK THE COSTS ARE THE THE REVENUE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IS NOT WORTH THE RISK IT'S NOT WORTH THE.

RTV: NEXT TO THE MONITOR WILL BE A CAMERA AND MICROPHONE SO THE IDEA IS THAT IF YOU'RE ON A ZOOM MEETING YOU CAN SEE THE PANELISTS ON THE MONITOR AND THEN THOSE ON ZOOM AT HOME CAN SEE YOU.
