JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HARRISON MAYOR AND SUPERVISOR DNA CEO AND THEN SEPARATELY WITH PORCHESTER MAYOR MARINO, AND ONE OF THE TOPICS I TOOK UP WITH BOTH OF THEM WAS FLOODING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND SAW THEIR COOPERATION GOING FORWARD WE HAD HAD A PREVIOUS MEETING WITH RUN BELMONT THEN MAYOR OF HARRISON AND THEIR CITY ENGINEER, AND THEY HAD PROMISED THEIR COOPERATION, BACK THEN, WITH THEIR BLIND BROOK WATERSHED ISSUES AND ESSENTIALLY MAYOR DE BLASIO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: INDICATED THAT, YES, AGAIN, THEY WOULD BE COOPERATIVE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND HE AND I ALSO DISCUSSED BEAVER SWAMP BROOKE AND I EXPRESSED OUR DESIRE TO WORK WITH THEM ON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: FINDING SOME WAYS OF CONTROLLING FLOODING ON BEEPER SWAMP BROKE AS WELL, AND HE AGREED THAT WE SHOULD DO THAT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IN THE MEETING WITH MAYOR MARINO, WE TALKED ABOUT THE BLIND BROOK WATERSHED EXCLUSIVELY AND AGAIN THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE COOPERATIVE AND COOPERATION AT THIS POINT MEANS COOPERATION WITH THE STUDIES THAT WE HAVE UNDERWAY, AND THEN WE DID HAVE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT 10 DAYS AGO WE HAD A MEETING OF.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE GROUP HOSTED BY DC WHICH INCLUDES.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: RYE BROOK HARRISON OUR STATE ELECTED OFFICIALS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES AND AND DC PERSONNEL AND WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE ARMY CORPS MAY HAVE BEEN ON THE CALL TO WE JUST TALKED ABOUT JOINING PROGRESS GOING FORWARD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE BEAVER SWAMP BROOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DC WILL BE STARTING A NEW STUDY THAT IS SEPARATE FROM THE BLIND BROOK STUDY THAT IS ALREADY STARTED.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WITH A PARALLEL STUDY OF FLOODING ON BEAVER SWAMP ROCK AND THAT OBVIOUSLY WILL HAVE A LATER START AND COMPLETION DATE THAN THE BLIND BROOK STUDY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT'S MY SIDE OF THE REPORT GREG I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WOULD ADD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND NOTHING MORE THAN I, FAIR, I THINK THAT COVERS EVERYTHING OF LATE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, SO LET'S GET INTO THE UPDATE ON THE CITY'S CAPITAL PROJECTS PROGRAM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: LIKE CHRISTIAN WILL BE KICKING THIS OFF TONIGHT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO NOT MUCH OF AN INTRODUCTION GREG.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: A WAY WELCOME.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I GUESS SORT OF WELCOME BACK TO OUR ONGOING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THAT PATH X PROGRAM OF OUR BROADER CAPITAL PROGRAM.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IS REALLY JUST AN UPDATE OF PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS WE'VE DONE BAD EVERY SIX MONTHS, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, IN ADDITION TO THE REGULAR CI P PROCESS, SO LET ME SEE IF I CAN SUCCESSFULLY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SHARE MY SCREEN.

[00:10:02]

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YES, OKAY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IS SORT OF AN UPDATE ON THE ONGOING CAPITAL PROJECTS WE'RE EXCITED THIS EVENING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU SOME THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY NOT JUST FUNDED OR THROUGH THE REGULATORY PROCESS BUT ARE ACTUALLY NOW FINALLY IN CONSTRUCTION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AFTER A VERY LONG TIME IN.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SOME CASES MANY YEARS THAT THESE PROJECTS GO BACK THAT EVEN PREDATE THE CURRENT COUNCIL.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: STARTING INITIALLY WITH THE DP W BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS WE HAD FOUR OF THESE PROJECTS IN HERE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE HAVE THE SALT CHAT AND BUILDING FIVE REPLACEMENT AND WE HAVE TWO PROJECTS THAT ARE ALMOST THERE THERE'S BEEN SOME DELAY IN SUPPLY CHAIN FOR BUILDING SEVEN SO THAT WILL START IN THE SUMMER OR LATE EARLY FALL, AS WELL AS THE DEED PW FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT SO THOSE HAVE BEEN BID AND.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THOSE THOSE WILL BE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WILL BE PROGRESSING SHORTLY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUILDING FIVE IS ADVANCING WE HAVE A SCHEDULE, WHERE A YEAR FROM NOW, WE COULD BE BREAKING GROUND IF THE SCHEDULE HOLDS TRUE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND THERE'S THERE'S NO MORE SURPRISES, BUT THERE IT'S BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY ALONG IN DESIGN.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE'VE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO THE COUNCIL REGARDING SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT CAME UP IN TERMS OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE AND HOW THAT WAS SHARED AND THE WHOLE DP W YARD.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO WE ARE CLOSING IN ON THE DESIGN THE FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, WE WILL BE GOING TO THE VAR TO THE COUNCIL DID REFER THIS FOR THEIR ADVISORY REVIEW, THIS IS A.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: PICTURE OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING THAT WILL BE THAT THE COUNCIL SEEN BEFORE, AND WE'VE PRESENTED ON PUBLIC MEETINGS BUT ALSO WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE VA OR THIS MONTH.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT OUR CURRENT COST ESTIMATE REMAINS THE SAME AS WE'VE HAD IN OUR PREVIOUS PRESENTATIONS AT 6.3 MILLION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND THAT'S WHERE WE STAND WITH THAT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ANOTHER PROJECT, THIS IS A ANOTHER ONE THAT'S BEEN LONG IN PLANNING, BUT THIS IS THE CURRENT SALT SHED YOU'LL SEE UP HERE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT IS WELL PAST ITS USEFUL LIFE SO THERE'S A NEW PROPOSAL THAT THE COUNCIL HAS SEEN TO SHOW A SALT SHETTY IN THE REAR OF THE DP W PROPERTY AND ALSO TO COMBINE IT WITH THE CITY'S A CURRENT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: RECYCLING CENTER SO THE COMBINATION OF THESE PROJECTS AND WE'VE SHOWN THIS, THESE ARE SOME DESIGN DRAWINGS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL LAST YEAR.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND WE STILL HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS A WOOD STRUCTURE WHICH IS THIS ONE UP HERE OR MORE OF THIS FABRIC STRUCTURE, THE COST ESTIMATE THAT YOU SEE MOST CURRENTLY IS BASED ON A WOOD STRUCTURE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THERE'S THERE SEEMED TO BE A LOT OF ADVANTAGES WITH THAT DESIGN OBVIOUSLY IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AND SHOULD WE JUST CHECK MY SCHEDULE HERE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: COULD BE IN A POSITION TO AWARD THE BID ACTUALLY THIS FALL I'M SO WE'LL BE BACK TO YOU, WE HAVE A BACK IN SPRING MAY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: FOR YOU TO FINALIZE THE SELECTION OF WHETHER THE WORD OR FABRIC, WILL ALSO HAVE COMPLETED, WE HOPE, BY THAT TIME GOING THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW PROCESS SINCE PORTION OF THIS IS WITHIN A WEAPON BUFFER SO THAT'LL BE GOING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IN APRIL ARM AND MARCH, APRIL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE CHRISTIAN A QUESTION, PLEASE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES, BOTH GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BEFORE WE CHOOSE THE DESIGN.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YEAH WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT, YOU CAN WE WERE STILL GIVING YOU THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE THAT BUT YES, THE FOOTPRINT WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S PERSPECTIVE AND YOU'RE STILL OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THAT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE WERE TRYING TO AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE THIS, BUT IF YOU GUYS WANT TO PICK A WOULD WOULD STRUCTURE, THIS EVENING I WOULD BE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: CERTAINLY EASIER FOR US, BUT WE WANTED TO GET A FEW MORE DETAILS BEFORE RETURNING TO THE PLANNING COMPARED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND TO MAKE SURE SOME OF THE PLANNING PLANNING COMMISSION ANALYSIS IS ALSO INCORPORATED INTO THAT DESIGN.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET ME, LET ME PUT PUT IT TO YOU, TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE'S THERE WAS A QUESTION IN YOUR RESPONSE.

[00:15:02]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: ON ITS WAY AND TO THE EXTENT THAT THAT SIMPLIFIES THE PROCESS FOR ANYONE THAT IS FOR YOU CHRISTIAN FOR CONSULTANTS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I WOULD WISH TO DO THAT, BUT IF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WELL, WE REALLY NEED PLANNING COMMISSION INSIGHTS IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT DECISION, THEN I WOULD OF COURSE DIFFER.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: NO, I MEAN.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YOU KNOW, DOING A PARALLEL DESIGN CONCEPT IS THE EXTENT OF ANALYSIS, BETWEEN THE TWO BECAUSE IT'S LARGELY BASED ON THE FOOTPRINT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IN TERMS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S REVIEW WON'T MATTER THAT MUCH, BUT IT CERTAINLY DOES SIMPLIFY THINGS IF, FOR INSTANCE, THERE WAS A.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: CONSENSUS THAT GOING FORWARD WITH THE WITH THE WORD STRUCTURE, BECAUSE THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO RETURN, AND WE CAN JUST FOCUS OUR ENERGIES ON THAT ON THAT OUTCOME.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE EASIER YEAH.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DO IT TONIGHT BECAUSE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: I THINK WE NEED THE FINANCIAL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: COMES AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE ABILITY TO ASK YOU ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YES, BUT I.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: CERTAINLY, BE GRATEFUL IF WE COULD ADD OUR NEXT MEETING PUT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THESE TWO THINGS, SIDE BY SIDE, BEFORE THE COUNCIL AND SEE IF WE CAN CUT THROUGH THIS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OKAY, LET ME TAKE THAT BACK TO THE CONSULTANT AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK OUT, ALTERNATIVELY, YOU KNOW WE STILL WE'RE STILL ON TRACK WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION PROCESS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO THAT THAT WOULD BE ADDITIONAL UNKNOWNS I GUESS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL'S PERSPECTIVE, BUT LET ME TAKE THAT BACK TO THE CONSULTANT AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THANK YOU.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SARAH PROJECTS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I THINK YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE THINGS CAN BE COMPLETELY UNSATISFYING, BUT THIS IS WHERE, AFTER THESE ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PROJECTS, THESE ARE DECISIONS THAT 100 YEARS FROM NOW, AND THAT'S NOT AN EXAGGERATION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WILL BE VALUED AND RESPECTED BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE, AND SO WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT A LOT OF THESE FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS, FIRST OF ALL, THE COST ABOUT HALF OF IT WAS FUNDED THROUGH GRANTS, NOT A SMALL GRANT OVER $4 MILLION IN GRANTS WERE RECEIVED TOWARDS THESE PROJECTS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND IN TERMS OF THAT BALANCE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST ABOUT HOW MUCH ENERGY DO WE HAVE TO PUT IN TO GET CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY, BECAUSE SOME GRANTS VERY HARD.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IN TERMS OF COST OF COMPLIANCE AND THOSE THINGS THIS TURNED OUT TO BE RELATIVELY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: REASONABLE AND SO THAT THAT WAS GOOD, TOO, SO THE THESE THESE FIVE SIX PROJECTS HERE LUCAS SEWER BEFORE CENTRAL PALM MIDLAND SEWER AND THE SEWER MANHOLE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THEY'VE ALL BEEN DONE, EXCEPT THIS OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR THEY ARE AN ONGOING THING AND THAT'S THE SEWER MANHOLE REFURBISHMENT AND WHERE THEY RELY ON THE SEWERS THAT'S GOING TO BE AN ONGOING THING WE'VE DONE SOME OF IT BUT THERE'S MORE TO COME.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: GOING THROUGH THESE PROJECTS, THE FIRST OF WHICH IS ON THESE PICTURES ARE AS OF TODAY, SO THIS IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THIS IS THE PERVERT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: FORCE MAIN THE AND THE OLD FORCE MAIN AS WELL PASSAGE USEFUL LIFE INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS HAD SOME SOME CONDITIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED, SO THIS IS THE NEW REPORT MAIN VERVOORT FORCE MAIN UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND AGAIN, I HAVE THE AMOUNT OF THE CITY SHARE TOWARDS THIS OVER $1 MILLION PROJECT WAS WAS 380 1000 SO.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: HAVING THAT SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IF SOME OF YOU HAVE WALKED THROUGH TOWN THIS, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT, THIS TOO IS FINALLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AFTER MANY YEARS OF DISCUSSION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: 100 YEARS AGO SOMEBODY DECIDED THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT US A SIPHON OR A SEWER PIPE UNDER THE BRIDGE ABUTMENT TO LUCAS AVENUE, WHICH MADE IT REPAIRING IT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, AS A RESULT, THIS REQUIRES A LOT OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND IT'S A CRITICAL CONNECTION, BECAUSE ALL OF THE SEWAGE IN THE VILLAGE AND THE CBD GOES DOWN THIS THIS CONNECTION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IS A BYPASS AND SO WHAT'S BEING DONE HERE IS THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW SEWER LINE CONNECTION THE OLD LINE WILL BE ABANDONED IT'S A PRETTY SHORT RUN.

[00:20:03]

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND FINALLY, THIS ONE IS JUST ABOUT GETTING READY TO GET UNDERWAY, THIS IS THE CENTRAL AVENUE PUMP STATION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS IS A SMALL LITTLE LOT RIGHT AS YOU GET OVER CROSS OVER THE BRIDGE OVER 95 AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE ARE TWO PUMPS THAT ARE CURRENTLY WORKING THE SEWER LINE AND DIVERTING IT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THE REASON IS IS BECAUSE, MAYBE 100 YEARS AGO, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SEWER LINE WELL IN THE 50S THEY BUILT ON 95 OVER IT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT'S A VULNERABILITY THAT'S NOW GOING TO BE ELIMINATED, WITH THIS NEW PUMP STATION, THIS NEW PROJECT, AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE SEWER LINE UNDER INTERSTATE 95, THIS IS THE SECOND.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: LINE THAT WE HAVE DIVERTED I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST IF THAT SEWER LINE UNDER 95 EVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR ANY WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE THAT'S NOW BEEN CONVERTED SO.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: JUST ABOUT UNDERWAY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IF I CAN ADD TO THIS FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT THE LINE UNDER 95 WAS NOT FOUND TO BE LEAKING WITH THE LINE UNDER 95 THEN BENDS AND RUNS PARALLEL TO THE NEW HAVEN LINE PARALLEL TO I 95.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND AT THE TIME WE FOUND, WE HAD TO PUT IN THOSE TWO BLUE PUMPS, WE HAD LEARNED THAT THE LINE ALONG THE RAILROAD TRACKS HAD BEEN BROKEN, PERHAPS BY THE INSTALLATION OF THE FENCE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE HIGHWAY AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND SEWAGE WAS LEAKING DOWN FROM THAT BROKEN SEWER PIPE AND ACTUALLY ENDING UP IN THE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IN THE STORMWATER.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SYSTEM AT LOCUST AND THEODORE FRIEND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND THAT THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THOSE TWO PUMPS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: TWO PUMPS IN THEY'RE HANDLING THE DIVERSION RIGHT NOW.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YEAH REPLACEMENT OF THAT EXISTING SYSTEM AND IT WAS YOU'RE RIGHT, MR MAYOR COMPROMISED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THIS, THIS IS A WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE, WE HAVE THIS ALTERNATIVE AND IT'S IT'S MUCH BETTER FOR WATER QUALITY, COMPLIANCE WITH VARIOUS LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND IT'S IT'S A IT'S A BETTER OPTION THAN THAN WHAT WE HAD BEFORE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE THE STORM WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, THIS IS PART OF THE SAVE THE SOUND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I SHOULDN'T YES.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BEFORE YOU GO THERE JUST ALL THOSE SEWER PROJECTS AND I FIRST OF ALL I PASSED THESE PUMPS EVERY DAY AND I'M SO GLAD THEY'LL BE GONE SOON, BUT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND I GREG, THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK TODAY BECAUSE I GOT SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SORT OF THE TIMING SO, IS IT FAIR TO SAY ALL OF THESE INCLUDING THIS ONE THAT HASN'T STARTED YET WILL BE DONE.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BY JUNE ISH OR IS THAT, IS THERE A STAGGERED SORT OF COMPLETION DATE THE THE LOCUS ONE BEING A LITTLE BIT DISRUPTIVE NEAR THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT SO JUST TIMING.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: COMPLETION AROUND JUNE ARE STAGGERED.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THE CENTRAL PUMP MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND AGAIN THE SEWER LINING SEWER REALIGNING, WHICH IS A RELATIVELY NON INVASIVE THING YOU'RE NOT RIPPING UP STREETS TO DO THAT THERE'S SOME TRAFFIC DISRUPTION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT'S GOING TO GO ON FOR A PERIOD OF MONTHS AND YEARS, BUT THIS THESE THREE PROJECTS WILL CERTAINLY BE DONE WELL, TWO OF THEM, I THINK, WOULD BE DONE BY BY JUNE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK ON WOOD PROBABLY JUST JINXED IT BUT IT'S SO FAR PROCEEDING.

OKAY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: GETTING BACK TO THIS, THIS IS NOT UNDERWAY, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE SOME COORDINATION ISSUES SINCE HAVE A LOT OF THIS PARKING LOT RIGHT NOW IS BEING USED THIS IS CAR PARK ONE IS BEING USED FOR THE STAGING AREA.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND CONSTRUCTION FOR THE LOCAL SEWERS SO ONCE THAT'S DONE WE'LL BE ABLE TO ADVANCE THIS PROJECT PRELIMINARY PLANS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THERE'S BEEN SOME REVIEW BY VARIOUS AGENCIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, SO WE, WE HAVE SOME MORE WORK TO DO.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUT THAT WILL BE COMING LATER THIS FALL VAMPING HERE WHERE'S THAT.

[00:25:02]

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT'S THAT'S THE PLAN FOR THAT.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: QUESTION I'M SORRY IF I COULD JUST ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION ON THAT SO BASICALLY WE'RE TAKING THOSE MEDIUMS STRIPS ON THE LEFT AND REPLACING THEM WITH GREEN OR GREEN LIKE KIND OF CATCH BASINS OR THINGS TO COLLECT FOR WATER RUNOFF TO MY PAPER DRAWING.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YES, YES IT IS YOU THERE'LL BE SOME SOME MEASURES WE CALL STORM WATER MEASURES THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR WATER QUALITY, AS WELL AS YOU WILL, YOU WILL SEE SOME TREE LOSS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WHICH I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, THESE TREES ARE IN BAD SHAPE SO BUT NUTRIENTS WILL BE PLANTED THE MEETING WILL BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR SO.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SORT OF A PROPRIETARY STORM WATER SYSTEM THAT WILL GO IN AND ALSO ALONG THE EDGE OF THE TOP OF THE BLIND BROOK WALL A SWELL INTO A SMALL SORT OF BIO RETENTION AREA WHICH SORT OF THIS IS USE THIS ONE AS AN EXAMPLE, OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO, LIKE I SAY THAT'S UNDER WE REVIEW, BUT WE'VE COMPLETED PRELIMINARY DESIGN.

THANK YOU.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: UM THREE PROJECTS HERE THE CITY HALL HBA SEE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH VAR SLASH LANDMARKS REVIEW, BECAUSE WE HAVE THESE EXTERIOR UNITS THAT ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL WE'RE WORKING ON SOME THINGS THERE WERE HOPEFUL, WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THAT BY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: LATER THIS MONTH.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUT THIS IS IN A POSITION TO UNDERTAKE TO GO OUT TO BID, SO THAT IT CAN BE CONSTRUCTION COULD START THIS FALL.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THE WE ARE PURSUING A POSSIBLE SAM GRANT FOR THIS, SO WE WILL THAT MAY DELAY THINGS BUT I'M GOING FOR MONEY IS IS ALWAYS HELPFUL TO BRING DOWN THE COST OF OF THIS PROJECT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO MOBILIZE CITY STAFF DURING COVEN AND BASICALLY TURN IN THE ENTIRE CITY HALL AS A REMOTE OPERATION.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WE WILL HAVE PERIODS, WE WILL NOW IT'LL BE LESS DISRUPTIVE TO OUR OPERATION IN TERMS OF HOW WE DO THIS WORK.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IN THE PHASING OF IT BECAUSE WE'LL BE OUT OF THE BUILDING IN VARIOUS IN VARIOUS STAGES, THE BOTTOM FLOOR WILL LEAVE AT ONE POINT MIDDLE FLOOR WE HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT EXACTLY.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUT JUST THAT CHANGE IN OPERATION HAS HAS HAD A HUGE BENEFIT IN TERMS OF HOW WE ACTUALLY GET THIS PROJECT BILL AND OPERATE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YES.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH SORRY I'M JUST THE SAM GRANT WE NEED IT, WE CAN'T START CONSTRUCTION AND BEFORE I MEAN WE KNOW THAT'S AN EXPENSE, SO WE CAN'T START CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION UNTIL WE HEAR WHETHER OR NOT REVERSE THE OF THE GRANT AND THAT'S THE DELAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YES, YES, GREAT.

YEAH.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO THAT'S THAT THE THEATER FROM WALL IS JUST ABOUT DONE THIS IS EXTRAORDINARILY COMPLEX PROJECT I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST, FAMILY WALL.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THAT WAS ACTUALLY WASHED OUT IN THE OH SEVEN FLOODS GOES FURTHER DAMAGED AND IDA IN THIS INTERSECTION ARE JUST A MULTITUDE OF UTILITIES AND JURISDICTION ISSUES WITH THE MTA THE 95 THE COUNTY IT'S BEEN JUST AN ENORMOUSLY COMPLEX JOB FOR SO LITTLE SORT OF.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: OUTCOME BENEFIT, YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY JUST A REPLACEMENT IN KIND, WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME POSSIBLE TENTATIVE WAYS TO GET THIS FUNDED SO WE'RE JUST ABOUT READY TO GO, BUT WE WANT TO CHASE DOWN SOME OF THESE ALTERNATIVE FUNDING MEASURES.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND FINALLY, FOREST AVENUE SIDEWALKS WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT TIME THE SELECTION OF WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CONSULTANT FOLLOWING THE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE DO IT, BECAUSE THIS IS A DEITY ADMINISTER GRANT WE FOLLOWED THEIR THEIR PROCESS AND WE'VE SELECTED THAT CONSULTANT WITH WITH THEM.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO THE CONSULTANT HAS BEEN SELECTED THE CONTRACT IS BEEN PUT BEFORE US AND WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AT THE NEXT MEETING.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I'M GOING TO BE VERY UPFRONT WITH YOU FOLKS ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW WE WE'VE HAD A LOT ON OUR PLATE IN TERMS OF GETTING CAPITAL DONE, WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE OUR STUFF WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING AT ONCE, JUST A RESOURCE STRING.

[00:30:02]

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: I WILL SAY THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED IN THIS PROCESS, WHICH HAS GONE ON, I THINK THE FIRST STUDY THAT IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO UPGRADE THE POLICE STATION AND COURT FACILITY WAS IN 1998.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN ON AND OFF AGAIN EVER SINCE THEN, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE LEARNED IS A REALLY DOING TO COURT FACILITIES, ONE IS A POLICE IMPROVEMENT AND COURT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: BUT ALSO WE HAVE TO RELOCATE THE COURT TEMPORARILY, SO NOW WE HAVE TO BUILD A TEMPORARY COURT, AND THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AT CAR PARK FIVE.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IT'S A SERIES OF TRAILERS MODULAR UNITS THAT ALSO NEED SOME CUSTOMIZATION FOR THE UNIQUE THINGS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A CT ADA AND THOSE KINDS OF REQUIREMENTS SO WE'LL BE LOOKING TO RESTART THAT UP AGAIN.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: YOU KNOW COST ESTIMATES ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE STALE HERE BECAUSE I HAD TO COST ESTIMATES OVER THE YEAR, BUT I THINK THE LAST ONE WAS TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: SO THAT'S STILL ONGOING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IF, IF I MAY ADD CHRISTIAN YOU YOU TREATED LIGHTLY AND DIPLOMATICALLY, THE PROCESS OF DEALING WITH THE TEMPORARY COURT WHICH I KNOW WAS VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR PERSEVERING IN IN THIS THERE REALLY IS NOT A GOOD ANSWER OR THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE A GOOD ANSWER TO BE FOUND WITH RESPECT TO CREATING A TEMPORARY COURT FACILITY AND WE'VE CIRCLED THE CAR PARK FIVE IDEA.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE CIRCLED IT ONCE AND LEFT IT BECAUSE WE'RE AWARE OF ISSUES WITH IT, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS LOSING THOSE PARKING SPACES FOR A TIME, BUT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE DID RECOGNIZE THE NEED AND AND THAT'S AS A COUNCIL WE RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO COME BACK TO CARPARK FIVE ULTIMATELY IN ORDER TO GET THIS DONE SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR YOUR PERSISTENCE IN IN IN RESOLVING THIS YES AND.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: ALSO, FOR THE BENEFIT OF NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, BUT ALSO THE PUBLIC REMINDING YOU.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: WERE REQUIRED BY THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION, WHICH IS A STATE AGENCY AND WE'RE YOU KNOW THEY PAY THE EMPLOYEES THAT WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THE IMPROVEMENT IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OF THE BUILDING AND THE FACILITY ITSELF.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: THERE WILL BE SOME OTHER BENEFITS TO THE POLICE ON THE FIRST FLOOR BUT THEY CALL THE SHOTS, AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING DIALOGUE FOR MANY YEARS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: IT DOES NOT MEET YOU KNOW 150% OF ALL OF THEIR REQUIREMENTS IT'S SORT OF A COMPROMISE PLAN THAT WE'VE REACHED CONSENSUS ON AS MEETING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND YOU KNOW, FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THEIR NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS COULD POTENTIALLY THREATEN YOU KNOW FUNDING FOR FOR THE CITY ON ALL KINDS OF EXISTING STATE FUNDING SOURCES SO WE'RE NOT THERE YET IT'S A VERY COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIP, BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS PROJECT.

CHRISTIAN K. MILLER, CITY PLANNER: AND THAT'S IT IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OH, IT MUST FEEL LIKE SO SISYPHEAN YOU BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING, I MEAN THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN ON THE DOCKET, FOR YOU KNOW DEFINITELY PREDATE ME SO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: I'M GLAD TO SEE THEM MOVING FORWARD, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION AND LEADERSHIP HERE CHRISTIAN BE GOOD TO START THEN MOVE THINGS ALONG.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: YEAH THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: BEFORE WE GO TO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FINANCE PLAN I JUST LIKE TO ECHO WHAT JULIE WAS SAYING, CERTAINLY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SOME OF US ON THE COUNCIL HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THESE PROJECTS FOR YEARS, I KNOW THAT WHEN THOSE OF US WHO CAME INTO THE COUNCIL TOGETHER ON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: FIRST SAW THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN AND WE SAW WERE TAGGED AS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY PROJECTS AND LEARNED THAT IN FACT THEY HIT BEEN SITTING.

[00:35:07]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE HAD TO TRY TO MOVE THEM AND WE DISCOVERED HOW TIME CONSUMING IT IS AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS PARTICULARLY FOR CITY STAFF.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: TO WORK THROUGH THE COMPLEXITIES OF MULTIPLE PROJECTS ALL AT ONCE AND MOVE THEM FORWARD TOGETHER AND IT'S WONDERFUL THAT WE'VE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: FINALLY REACHED THE POINT WHEN WE CAN AS AS AS WILL BE BEFORE US IN THE COURSE OF THIS EVENING ACTUALLY START TO DEAL WITH THE DEAL CONCRETELY WITH THE FUNDING NEEDS THESE PROJECTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: REALLY AFTER FOR GOING ON FIVE YEARS FOR ME AND THOSE WHO JOINED THE COUNCIL WITH ME AND IN EMILY'S CASES SOMEONE WHO WAS ON THE COUNCIL EVEN BEFORE THIS IS AND AND, IN ADDITION TO WHAT CHRISTIAN SAID ABOUT THE HISTORICAL STANDING OF THESE PROJECTS, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE US AT THIS POINT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG IF YOU AND JOE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE US INTO THE FINANCE PLAN, PLEASE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THANK YOU MAYOR THANKS CHRISTIAN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: LET ME JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME SOME HIGHLIGHTS, BECAUSE IN THIS AGENDA ITEM I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME INTRODUCTION TO KIND OF WHERE WE STAND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THE TERMS OF THE TOTAL FINANCE PLAN AND THEN PUT IN IN FRONT OF YOU FOR SPECIFIC RESOLUTIONS OR ACTIONS IN TERMS OF WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FUND PART OF THIS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT IS SEEKING AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE $13.55 MILLION OF DEBT, THIS IS GENERAL OBLIGATION THAT ON ON THE CITY'S CREDIT, THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT'S AUTHORIZED BY THE CHARTER FOR THE COUNCIL TO TO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TO UNDERTAKE WITHOUT VOTER REFERENDUM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALONG WITH THE GRANTS THAT ARE IN HAND, AND THE CASH THAT'S BEEN ACCUMULATED BY THE SAVINGS AND THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE CITY OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THIS TOTALS APPROXIMATELY $30 MILLION CURRENTLY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU'LL SEE IN JUST A SECOND WHEN WE PUT UP THE SUMMARY MATTER THAT THAT STILL LEAVES APPROXIMATELY $2 MILLION SHORT IN TERMS OF THE TOTAL LIST OF PROJECTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND I'LL GO INTO MORE OF THE DETAILS IN JUST A MINUTE, BUT LET ME, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO REINFORCE THE FACT THAT THIS THIS UNDERTAKING IS THE LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: PROJECT UNDER FOR THE CITY IN ITS HISTORY, AND THESE PROJECTS AND AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION IN THE COMPLETION IS IS GOING TO TAKE SEVERAL YEARS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE TONIGHT IS IN FROM A FUNDING STANDPOINT IS THE BEGINNING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, THREE, FOUR OR FIVE YEARS IN THE PROCESS, SO, WHILE THE SOURCES AND USES ARE GOING TO SHOW A SHORTFALL TONIGHT THAT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE ADDITIONAL GRANTS THAT WE'RE PURSUING IT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE ADDITIONAL SAVINGS THAT WILL BE CONTINUING TO WORK ON WITHIN THE CITY BUDGET AND THE CITY OPERATIONS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND, AND SO JUST JUST KEEP PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ALSO, JUST TO MAKE THE POINT JUST FOR PROVIDING ONGOING INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITY EVERYTHING YOU SEE TONIGHT, INCLUDING WHAT CHRISTIAN JUST PRESENTED AND THE MATERIAL I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH NOW AND WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA PACKAGE WILL ALSO BE POSTED TO THE WEBSITE TOMORROW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: UNDER COUNCIL MATTERS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO JEFF YOU DON'T MIND SHARING YOUR SCREEN ON THE, THIS IS THE SOURCES AND USES, BUT I WANT TO START WITH THE BOTTOM OF THAT SPREADSHEET WHERE WE BREAK OUT THE PROJECTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: INCLUDING THE GRANTS AND THE NET AMOUNT OKAY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: OKAY, EVERYBODY SEE THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IT'S YEP SO LET'S PUT IT IN THERE, WE GO, CAN WE CAN YOU MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT BIGGER.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: JUST YOUR CAN.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YEP THAT OKAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO, AND THIS IS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THIS IS MATERIAL THAT WAS PROVIDED LAST YEAR, WHERE CAN WE CONTINUE TO UPDATED AS COST ESTIMATES CHANGE, AS WELL AS.

[00:40:09]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE AS CHRISTIAN SAID MUCH OF THIS IS UNDERWAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE THE EXCESS YOU SAY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE INDICATE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN BIT, SO WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT IN THESE COST ESTIMATES, SO WE HAVEN'T ACCEPTED BED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE'S CONTINGENCY MONIES IN HERE OR HIGHLY CONFIDENT IN THAT IN THAT GROSS DOLLAR AMOUNT THE GRANTS THAT ARE INDICATED IN THE MIDDLE COLUMN OR GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND SO ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, THE NET, THAT IS, THE NET COST TO THE CITY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT LAST LINE ON IN THE SEWER LINE REHABILITATION, THAT IS WHAT CHRISTIAN WAS DESCRIBING IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING ACTIVITY SO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW THE GRANT NUMBER IS LOCKED IN THE GROSS EXPECTED AMOUNT IS AN ESTIMATE AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THE NET COST THERE, BUT THE SEWER PROJECT TOTAL COST OF THE CITY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED TO BE A LITTLE OVER FOUR WELL CLOSE TO $4.4 MILLION.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE SECOND LARGE BUCKET IS FOR PUBLIC WORKS IMPROVEMENTS, AND THESE ARE ALL AS WE'VE DESCRIBED ACTIVITIES AT AT DESBOROUGH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUILDING FIVE IS ESTIMATED TO BE $7 MILLION, I KNOW THAT EARLIER, WE SAW THE $6.3 MILLION NUMBER, WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SOFT COSTS INCLUDED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO WE'RE SAYING BUILDING FIVE TODAY AS APPROXIMATELY $7 MILLION, THAT IS NOT A HARD NUMBER YET BECAUSE WE'VE NOT YET DID THE PROJECT AND THAT WON'T BE DONE UNTIL LATER IN THE SUMMER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUILDING SEVEN IS LOCKED IN THAT IS A $4,000 EXPENSE THAT REHAB IS GOING TO BE UNDERWAY, THIS SUMMER, THE AS CHRISTIAN DESCRIBED THE THE RUSSELL'S THE TRUST IS RATHER ARE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: UNDER I THINK THAT PROBABLY SITTING ON A ON A CARGO SHIP IN LONG BEACH HARBOR SOMEWHERE AT THIS POINT, BUT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE'RE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY'D BE ABOUT A 15 TO 20 WEEK DELAY, WHICH IS WHY THIS PROJECT HAS NOT ALREADY UNDERWAY, BUT THAT IS A HARD AND GOOD COST.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: ASSAULT SHED WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, WE DO HAVE A $4,000 SAM GRANT THAT WAS SECURE THROUGH CENTER MAIN CENTER THE MAYOR'S OFFICE SO WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT NET EXPENSE TO BE 100,000.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THEN, AGAIN, THE FUEL TANK HAS BEEN BEEN AND ACCEPTED SO THAT 350 IS A GOOD NUMBER, SO THE NET COST OF THOSE PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS IS A LITTLE OVER ESTIMATED A LITTLE OVER EIGHT AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THEN THE FINAL GROUPING HERE IS MISCELLANEOUS THAT INCLUDES HBC THEODORE FROM WALL, THE SIDEWALKS PLEASE COURT FACILITY, THE SAVE THE SOUND BENEFIT PROJECT WHICH IS CARPARK ONE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THEN THE LAST ITEM YOU'LL SEE HERE IS THE BASE AND DREDGE AND I'LL EMPHASIZE, YOU SEE IT HERE AND PARENTS ARTICLES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE ASSUMPTION IN THIS CAPITAL PROJECTS PROGRAM IS THAT THE CITY TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR DREDGING THE CHANNEL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN I MEAN IT'S IT'S IT'S THE COMMON USE CHANNEL FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE BOAT BASIN ITSELF WOULD BE A SEPARATE ITEM WHEN IT COMES TO THE SLIP HOLDERS AND THAT AREA, YOU KNOW BASICALLY IN THE IN THE MARINA ITSELF.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT THE ASSUMPTION HERE IS THAT THE CHANNEL DREDGE WOULD BE A CITY OBLIGATION AND THAT'S THAT'S BEEN INCLUDED HERE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT, LIKE EVERY PROJECT ON HERE, YOU KNOW, IS SUBJECT TO AN ACCEPTANCE BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF A YOU KNOW, A FIRM COMMITMENT OR A FIRM BIT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE'RE STILL WAITING ON PERMITS THAT IT'S BEEN IN PROCESS WE'RE CONTINUING TO GET GOOD FEEDBACK FROM THE ARMY CORPS, THE NEW ENGLAND CORE AND THE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NEW YORK DC AND THE CONNECTICUT EQUIVALENT AND THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THIS PERMITS WOULD BE RECEIVED IN THE FALL AND I'M IN TIME IF WE WANTED TO PERCEIVE WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE WINTER BEFORE NEXT SEASON.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: IS IF, IF I MAY GREG JUST THAT, IF YOU'RE READY TO LEAVE LEAVE THE BOAT BASE AND JUST BEFORE YOU DO I'D LIKE TO INTERJECT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SURE, SO.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HISTORICALLY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE CHANNEL WAS NEVER AN ENTERPRISE FUND OBLIGATION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AT REALLY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, THE CHANNEL WAS THE US ARMY CORPS OF OBLIGATION AND THE ARMY CORPS HASN'T DREDGED IT SINCE THE LATE 90S.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE.

[00:45:03]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HAS NOT BEEN DRENCHED FOR NOW, A SUFFICIENT TIME TO ACTUALLY.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: INCONVENIENCE THE PASSAGE OF BOATS IS THAT IT WAS NO ONE'S RESPONSIBILITY, AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS TONIGHT AS TAKING IT ON AT LEAST IN THIS INSTANCE AS A CITY NEED IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE CHANNEL.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND WE ARE DOING IT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WHILE LEAVING THE QUESTION BEFORE THE BOAT BASIN AND AND THIS QUESTION IS UNDERSCORED IN THE MATERIAL THAT'S IN THE AGENDA PACKAGE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THIS SEPARATE QUESTION OF HOW TO DEAL WITH THE MUCK THAT IS IN THE BOAT BASIN ITSELF THAT REQUIRES FAR MORE EXPENSIVE HANDLING, THEN THE MUCK THAT'S IN THE CHANNEL BUT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: JUST TO TO CLOSE OUT MY COMMENT WE'RE FOCUSING HERE ON SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN AN OBLIGATION ASSIGNED TO ANYONE, EXCEPT THE US ARMY CORPS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THE US ARMY OR FEMA THE US ARMY CORPS IS NOT DOING IT, WE ARE ASKING FOR FEMA WITH HELL WITH RESPECT TO BOTH THE CHANNEL DREDGING AND THE BOAT BASIN AND WE WILL RESOLVE SEPARATELY, HOW TO GO FORWARD WITH DREDGING IN THE BOAT BASIN, WHERE THE NEED IS JUST AS BAD.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THANK YOU.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: JOE LET'S GO TO THE TOP PART OF THIS SPREADSHEET NOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO WHEN YOU PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER YOU'LL SEE AND AGAIN, THIS IS A THE SAME MATERIAL, WE PRESENTED LAST SUMMER, BUT I'M JUST JUST TO BRING IT UP TO DATE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE ARE LOOKING AT TOTAL NEEDS AS DEFINED BELOW OF 31.6 MILLION AND TOTAL SOURCES OF FUNDS OF 29.6 MILLION THAT INCLUDES $6.6 MILLION IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS PRESERVE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: A LITTLE UNDER $7 MILLION CURRENTLY IN HANDING GRANTS THE DEBT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, WHICH WOULD BE 13.55 MILLION I'LL COME BACK TO THE 2012 BONDS AND THE SECOND.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THEN THE AMERICAN RECOVERY PLAN BACK MONIES OF 800,000 THE AARP MONEY IS ACTUALLY OR 1.6 MILLION 800,000 HAS ALREADY BEEN RECEIVED AND IS REFLECTED IN THE CAP X RESERVE FUND AND THE OTHER 800 WILL BE RECEIVED IN LATE JUNE EARLY JULY OF THIS YEAR FROM THE FROM THE FED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A $2 MILLION SHORTFALL BETWEEN THOSE TWO NUMBERS BUT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS I SAID EARLIER THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE GRANTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING PURSUED IT DOESN'T INCLUDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT WE BRING OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO OR THREE YEARS AND JUST ON OUR GENERAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, SO THIS CONTINUES TO BE A WORK, YOU KNOW, A WORK IN PROGRESS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: JUST.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG IT ALSO DOESN'T INCLUDE IN WE'RE LEAVING OUT OF THIS, THE FOOTNOTE ONE RESOURCES THAT STILL REMAIN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S THAT'S CORRECT, SO THE THE CITY COUNCIL HAS AT ITS DISCRETION, OUTSIDE OF ITS CHARTER DEBT LIMIT, IF YOU WILL, AN ADDITIONAL TWO $4.2 MILLION.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: COMING FROM TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF THE CHARTER, ONE IS YOU CAN AUTHORIZE $1.77 MILLION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY BONDS OR BONDS RELATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND ADDITIONAL 2.5 MILLION FOR DISASTER REBUILDING BONDS, SO THERE ARE ADDITIONAL BOND RESOURCES, BEFORE GOING TO VOTER REFERENDUM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU KNOW AND ANOTHER YEAR TO YEAR PERIOD OF TIME OR WHATEVER PERIOD OF TIME THAT WE DECIDE THE COUNCIL DECIDES THAT WE WANT TO MOVE IN WITH A CERTAIN PROJECT THAT MAY NOT HAVE THE FUNDING THROUGH ONE OF THESE OTHER SOURCES.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREG.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HI UM THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS, I MEAN THIS PRESENTATION IS AMAZING CHRISTIANS ALWAYS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB KEEPING A LIST OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS, BUT CERTAINLY NARROWING THEM DOWN AND PRIORITIZING PRIORITIZING THEM AS AN INCREDIBLE FEAT.

[00:50:09]

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HAVE PAID TO THIS IS IS AWESOME AND FRANKLY WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE, BUT MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THIS $2 MILLION DEFICIT.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YOU KNOW, ASSUMING THE WORST CASE SCENARIO RIGHT WE DON'T GET I DON'T KNOW WHY WE COULDN'T USE THAT OTHER DEBT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN FOOTNOTE ONE OR WE DON'T GET ANY OF THE GRANTS OR WHATEVER.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: SOMETHING YOU KNOW OVERRUNS OR SOMETHING WE HAVE A GENERAL FUND, OBVIOUSLY, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN PULL FROM I'M NOT I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME BUT YEAH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YES, SO SO THAT YEAH THE THE CASH, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE IT VERY SIMPLE, BUT THE CASH RESOURCES OF THE CITY COME FROM TWO SOURCES, WE HAVE, WE HAVE THE CAP X RESERVE WHICH WE'VE IDENTIFIED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: HERE, WHICH IS THE 6.6 MILLION, WE ALSO HAVE A GENERAL FUND RESERVED WHICH BY CITY COUNCIL POLICY IS 10% OF THE GENERAL FUND EXPENSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHICH JOE 4.5 MILLION 4.4 MILLION.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: THEY'RE ROUGHLY.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YEAH WE DON'T HAVE THE PHONE NUMBERS, YET, BUT IT'S AROUND THAT NUMBER YEAH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OKAY, SO THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF AMOUNT OF MONEY NOW, THAT IS, YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS AS A POLICY MATTER THAT HAS BEEN SET AT 10% IS THERE FOR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES CONTINGENCIES OTHER YOU KNOW OTHER UNUSUAL NEEDS, BUT THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO YOU KNOW FOR THIS, OR YOU KNOW OTHER YOU KNOW UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

EMILY HURD RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: I MEAN THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS WE CAN'T GO BELOW THE 10% I MEAN WE CAN, BUT THEN WE JUST HAVE TO YOU KNOW GO THE BACKUP WE HAVE, I THINK, IN THE CHARTER, WE HAVE TO TIMEFRAME AND DO THAT BUT ABSOLUTELY WE CAN GET INTO THAT IF WE HAD TO THAT'S RIGHT YEAH.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BUT THAT'S I MEAN IT'S IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, I MEAN YOU KNOW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE POINT I JUST I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE YOU KNOW THE PARENTS OF THIS $2 MILLION TONIGHT APPEAR TO BE A DIRE CIRCUMSTANCE, BECAUSE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW THE REALITY IS, THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY LARGE PROGRAM IT IS GOING TO TAKE SEVERAL YEARS, AND IF YOU AND, IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHERE THE CITY WAS FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN IT COMES TO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE CAP X RESERVE WHEN IT COMES TO ITS FINANCIAL RESOURCES, THEN VERSUS TODAY, YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN ON A TREMENDOUS PATH, AND SO I DON'T WANT TO DRAW A CONCLUSION HERE, BUT I DO WANT IT TO BE VERY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE COUNCIL'S IDENTIFIED THIS LIST OF PROJECTS AS BEING PRIORITIES, THIS IS EVERYTHING WE CURRENTLY HAVE AVAILABLE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED TO MEET THOSE EACH OF THOSE NEEDS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND LET LET'S BE FRANK.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE DO HAVE, I THINK, GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT WE WILL HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO ALL THESE PROJECTS, BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT THAT WILL COMMIT US TO DO ALL THESE PROJECTS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE VERY MUCH WOULD LIKE TO SAY WHERE, AS I SAID EARLIER, CIRCLED ITS HIGHEST PRIORITY CITY PROJECTS IN THE PAST AND.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: WE'RE COMMITTED TO BRINGING THEM TO FRUITION, BUT.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AGAIN THERE'S NOTHING WE'RE DOING TONIGHT THAT COMMITS US TO EACH AND EVERY ONE.

BEN STACKS RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OF THOSE, THOUGH WE HAVE STARTED A BUNCH, SO WE ARE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YEAH THE ONES THAT THE ONE, THEN THE ONES IN THE IN THE LOWER PART OF THAT SPREADSHEET THAT HAD THE EXES BY UM THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE THAT HAVE ACCEPTED BIDS AND THAT ARE UNDERWAY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE OTHER, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO IT WILL COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR EACH OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS BUILDING 5,000,007 THE SALT SHED ALL OF THESE THE REST OF THESE BECOME DISCRETIONARY AT THE POINT WHEN YOU ACCEPT THE BIT.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND WE'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HISTORICAL LOW RATE.

CAROLINA JOHNSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT BUT GOING BACK TO THE THE PREVIOUS SLIDE WHERE YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF BONDING FOR DISASTER REBUILDING, FOR EXAMPLE, IS THERE AN ADVANTAGE TO GOING AFTER SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR WOULD WE HAVE TO COMMIT THAT MONEY SAVED FOR THE CEO FRIEND WALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE, THERE ARE BOND COUNCIL DOES MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER THE WHAT AND AND AND CORPORATION COUNSEL WHETHER WHAT IS IN THE CHARTER.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS THAT DEFINITION, SO WE COULDN'T TAKE AND I'LL MAKE AN SILLY EXAMPLE WE COULDN'T TAKE DISASTER REBUILDING AND SAY WE WANT TO BUILD A PLAYGROUND WITH IT SO BUT BUT CERTAINLY, I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO APPLY THESE MONIES.

[00:55:11]

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW THE DISASTER RECOVERY, YOU KNOW THE DISASTER EXEMPTION WAS BORN OUT OF THE STORM THAT YOU KNOW, DID THE DAMAGE TO THE THEATER FROM WALL, SO WE HAVE DISCUSSED THAT WITH.

JOE FAZZINO, COMPTROLLER: YOU KNOW POD COUNCIL SO YOUR QUESTION TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE AN OPTION TO US THAT EXEMPTION FOR THAT PROJECT.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OKAY, SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE BEING RESPONSIBLE HERE AND NOT GETTING OUT OVER OUR SKIS AND I JUST, I WOULD LIKE TO START MOVING FORWARD.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: DOES IS IT DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE MORE DISCUSSION WE HAVE ONE HAND RAISED FROM THE PUBLIC, WHICH I WOULD TURN TO IF THE COUNCIL IS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: HAPPY.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: YEAH JOSH I JUST LIKE.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S EDIFICATION I SPENT SOME TIME WITH GREG THIS WEEK ON THIS.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: GREG CAN YOU JUST CONFIRM THAT.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THERE BEING ANY TAX INCREASE.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO THE CITIZENS, BASED ON THIS GOING OUT AND GETTING THESE THIS THIS NEW DEBT AND AMORTIZING THE DEBT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: YES, SO LET ME, LET ME MAKE TO TWO QUICK POINTS AND JOE WANT LET'S.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BEFORE WE LEAVE THE SIDE, LET ME JUST MAKE ONE OTHER POINT IF YOU DON'T MIND AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE DATA ITSELF UM.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN 2012 THERE WAS A VOTER REFERENDUM THAT AUTHORIZED $1.68 MILLION OF ADDITIONAL BONDS THE MONIES FROM THAT BOND ISSUE WE'RE ACTUALLY SPENT, BUT THE BONDS WERE NEVER ISSUED.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO THOSE MONIES IN EFFECT WERE LENT BY THE GENERAL FUND FOR FOR PROJECTS THAT OCCUR BETWEEN 2012 AND SAY 2014.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE ARE GOING TO THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE TO, AND THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL COUNCIL ACTION, BUT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE 2012 BONDS, WE WOULD, I WOULD PROPOSE ISSUING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NEW ISSUE TO ALLOW US TO REPAY THE GENERAL FUND THE MONIES THAT HAD BEEN THAT WERE SPENT YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, SEVEN YEARS AGO.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO THAT THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE 2012 BONDS THAT ARE IN THIS SOURCES AND USES.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SO BILL, AND IN TERMS OF YOUR YOUR QUESTION, LET ME JOE IF YOU CAN PUT UP THE COMPARABLE SLIDE, LET ME JUST I WANT TO HIT TWO QUICK POINTS, INCLUDING THE DEBT SERVICE COST.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TO MAKE THAT A LITTLE BIT BIGGER AS WELL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THERE WE GO ALL RIGHT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE CURRENTLY CARRY AND WOULD NOT LOSE OUR TRIPLE A CREDIT RATING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: EVEN WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THIS DEBT, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEGATIVE IMPLICATION ARE ON THE CITY'S CREDIT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN TERMS OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DEBT LIMIT AS IT RELATES TO THE STATE INCLUDE, EVEN IF WE ISSUED OR WHEN WE ISSUED ALL THESE BONDS WE DON'T EVEN EQUAL 3% OF WHAT WE ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY ABLE TO ISSUE FROM A STATE LAW STANDPOINT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IN TERMS OF A DEBT LOAD WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR OPERATING BUDGET AND YOU LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED COMMUNITIES ALL TRIPLE A RATED OUR AREA.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WE ARE WELL BELOW THOSE DEATH LIMITS SO IN TERMS OF AN IMPLICATION OUR CREDIT THERE IS THERE WILL BE NONE WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THESE BONDS BEFORE ANY ISSUE WOULD ACTUALLY BE PUBLICLY SOLD, WHICH IS PART OF THE NEXT STEP IS WE GO BACK TO MOODY'S AND GETTING RECONFIRM IN RATING.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: WHICH IS ONE AS PART OF THE BOND SALE, BUT IT ALSO IS TO YOU KNOW, WE OBVIOUSLY ALL CARE ABOUT THE CREDIT OF THE CITY AND WANT TO CONFIRM THAT NOTHING WE'RE DOING IS GOING TO CHANGE IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: BILL IN TERMS OF YOUR QUESTION OF DEBT SERVICE COST.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE THE ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE COSTS IS ESTIMATED TODAY TO BE FOR ALL THIS DEBT, INCLUDING THE 2012 BONDS WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $775,000 A YEAR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE THE WE HAVE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET WE HAVE ALREADY BUDGETED FOR.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEBT SERVICE, THE BASED UPON THAT AND THE STRUCTURE OF THIS ISSUE, IT WOULDN'T REQUIRE NO ADDITIONAL TAX INCREASES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THESE BONDS SAID IT WOULD INCLUDE NEXT YEAR AND ALL THE PRO FORMA YEARS GOING FORWARD SO.

[01:00:07]

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OR A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WE KEPT THE TAX LEVY ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DEBT OR MUCH OF IT ALREADY YOU KNOW WE KEPT IT IN THE BUDGET BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT EITHER THE END OF LAST YEAR, OR THE FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR WE'D BE BACK IN THE MARKET.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND WE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PRUDENT THING TO DO SO, THE SHORT THE SHORT ANSWER IS THAT THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL TAXES AS A RESULT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OF THIS NET SERVICE.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANKS GREG THAT THAT'S THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL AND THIS CHART IS GREAT.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: AND JUST BY BY APPLICATION OF THE AMOUNT OF DEBT, WE HAVE IN AND OUR CREDIT RATING, SHOULD WE HAVE SOME KIND OF EMERGENCY.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: OR SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF MONEY THAT DOWN THE ROAD WE WANT TO SPEND ON SAY FLOOD MITIGATION THERE'S THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM TO BORROW MORE MONEY, I WOULD ASSUME BASED ON ON ON THIS ANALYSIS AND OUR CREDIT RATING IS THAT RIGHT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S CORRECT, I MEAN AS AS A CREDIT MATTER WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DEBT CAPACITY, IF THE IF THE CITY NEEDED TO AND WANTED TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL DEBT, IT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: OUTSIDE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: IF IT'S ABOVE THAT $4.2 MILLION ARE THOSE PROJECTS DO NOT FIT INTO THOSE BUCKETS IT WOULD BE, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO VOTER REFERENDUM, BUT AS A CREDIT MATTER AND, AS A LEGAL MATTER THERE'S NOTHING THAT WOULD PROHIBIT ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL DEBT.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THANKS IT'S VERY HELPFUL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND I GUESS THE LAST I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH THIS THE LAST POINT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE IS THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE WE'VE BEEN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TRYING TO BE JUDICIOUS AND LOOKING AT THE TIMING OF WHEN WE WOULD BORROW FOR THE LAST YEAR OR TWO WE KNEW THAT WE WOULD HAVE THESE NEEDS, WE ALSO KNEW THAT WE HAD SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY SOFT COSTS.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: TWO THINGS REALLY ARE HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST SAY THREE MONTHS THAT HAS CAUSED THAT TO CHANGE AND CAUSED ME TO RECOMMEND THAT WE GO AHEAD AND BORROW.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: NUMBER ONE IS THAT WE NOW HAVE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS UNDERWAY, WHERE WE ARE INCURRING SIGNIFICANT HARD DOLLAR COST THE SEWER PROJECTS TO START BUT, AS YOU HEARD FROM CHRISTIAN.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AS WE GET INTO THE LATE SUMMER FALL AND OVER THE NEXT WINNER, WE ARE GOING TO BE UNDERTAKING A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS, AND IT WILL NEED THE MONEY.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THE OTHER THING IS, WE ALL KNOW, IS THAT YOU KNOW THE WORLDWIDE ECONOMY AND THE US ECONOMY IS HAS CHANGED A GREAT DEAL IN THE LAST 90 DAYS, WHETHER THAT BE BECAUSE OF SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES GENERAL MARKET VOLATILITY OBVIOUSLY NOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN UKRAINE IN UKRAINE.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: AND THERE IS CERTAINLY BIAS, TO THE UPSIDE AND RATES AND SO IT'S IT'S MY BELIEF THAT IF WE CAN BORROW 25 YEAR MONEY FOR APPROXIMATELY 2%.

[5. Capital Projects Finance Plan]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: GREG THANK YOU THIS IS TERRIFIC PRESENTATION VERY, VERY HELPFUL.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: JOE JOE DID ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING I JUST DID THE TALK.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: BUT HOW IS THIS, AND MAYBE IT'S TOO SOON, HOW IS THIS DOVETAILING WITH WHAT WE WHAT WE MAY OR MAY NOT YET BE ANTICIPATING COMING DOWN THE PIKE IN TERMS OF FLOOD RELATED CAPITAL PROJECTS, OR IS IT JUST SIMPLY WAY TOO SOON TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: TO BUILD US DAS THAT TO ME ISN'T THAT WHAT WE JUST DISCUSSED WITH THAT WE WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO.

JULIE SOUZA RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: HOW'S THAT I GUESS, LET ME ASK THAT I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE QUESTION AND HOW IT'S DIFFERENT BELLS QUESTION.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: LET ME JUMP IN FIRST IF IF, IF I MAY JULIE, IT IS TOO SOON JUST ANSWER THAT IN ANY DETAIL, BUT AS WE'RE CONTEMPLATING THE.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AS WE WERE SORTING THROUGH THE FLOODING PROJECTS AND STUDIES THAT WE'RE SORTING THROUGH WE'RE ALSO SORTING THROUGH THE FUNDING SOURCES.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND THERE ARE FUNDING SOURCES FOR JUST THOSE PROJECTS THAT WE WILL WISH TO BE HARNESSING SOME OF THEM AS THEY SEEM TO BE SHAPING UP WILL REQUIRE.

[01:05:07]

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: THERE IS, THERE WILL BE A PLAN IN DEVELOPMENT AS THE PROJECT SELECTION TAKES PLACE AND THAT WILL BE WHEN WE CAN, I THINK, PROPERLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

JOSH NATHAN RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: THAT'S FAIR, THANK YOU.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: CAN I JUST ADD ONE THING TO.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IT BECAUSE GREG AND I TALKED TO EARLIER THIS WEEK ALSO THAT THE THREE NEW YORK RISING FLOOD PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY.

BILL HENDERSON RYE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER: IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING GETTING MOVING OR NOT INCLUDED IN THIS ANALYSIS BUT THEY'RE ALL FUNDED MAYBE GREG YOU CAN JUST CONFIRM THAT.

GREG USRY RYE CITY MANAGER: THAT'S CORRECT AND THOSE ARE ALL FUNDED IN FULL, THROUGH THROUGH THROUGH THE THROUGH GHOSTS OR THROUGH THE NEW YORK RISING PROGRAM SO THOSE DO NOT IN ANY WAY IMPACT IN ANY SHAPE FORM OR FASHION, THIS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: OKAY, IF THERE ARE NO MORE COUNCIL QUESTIONS IF THERE WERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM RESIDENTS, BE HAPPY TO HEAR.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SUBJECT OF COURSE TO OUR THREE MINUTE CONVENTION CRIT KRISTEN.

KRISTEN WILSON: YES, THANK YOU, IS, AS YOU JUST STATED, THE FIRST TWO RESOLUTIONS DEAL WITH THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT.

KRISTEN WILSON: ALL OF THE PROJECTS FOR WHICH ARE GOING OUT TO BOND ARE IN SOME WAY OR FORM, SUBJECT TO SEEKER, THE FIRST RESOLUTION LIST THE CAPITAL PROJECTS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS CLASSIFIED AS UNLISTED UNDER SEEKER.

KRISTEN WILSON: THE SECOND RESOLUTION LIST THOSE PROJECTS THAT ARE CLASSIFIED AS AS TYPE TWO SO THAT THAT'S WHY THEY'RE BROKEN OUT INTO TWO SEPARATE RESOLUTIONS.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: AND TYPE TWO KRISTEN MEANS THAT THEY'RE JUST NOT SUBJECT TO SECRET REVIEW.

KRISTEN WILSON: CORRECT YES.

JOSH COHN RYE CITY MAYOR: SO IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION NEEDED.
