2026-09-10 - Council Committees Day 2

05:37Good afternoon everyone. I

05:39apologize for keeping you

05:40waiting. So at five after four,

05:47I call the people Parks and

05:50Public Works Committee to order

05:52and ask the deputy clerk to

05:53call the roll.

05:55>> Council member Monroe here.

05:58Council member Gruber here.

06:00Council member. Patterson. Vice

06:02president. Harris. Excuse.

06:04President Melendez here. Thank

06:06you.

06:09>> So there are no presentation

06:10scheduled for today's committee

06:12meeting, and I will proceed

06:13with the legislative agenda.

06:16Introductory number 333,

06:18authorizing appropriations

06:20related to the 2024 Safe

06:23Streets and Roads for all

06:25planning demonstration project.

06:30Are there any. Yes. Council

06:32member Gruber.

06:33>> Thanks. Last, a question

06:35about the specific legislation

06:37and more about the grant in

06:38general, just for. Just for

06:43kind of total transparency, we.

06:46AM I correct that we had two

06:47safe streets and roads for all

06:49grants approved by the feds?

06:54>> Yes. That's correct.

06:57>> And this $32,000 is a, I

06:59assume, a very, very, very

07:01small portion of one of those

07:03grants. Can you just clarify

07:04what is the total dollar amount

07:06in the two buckets? And where

07:07does this fall in?

07:10>> Sure. So this comes from the

07:122024 Safe Streets and Roads for

07:14all grant. It's a $23.7 million

07:17federal grant with a local

07:19match of about 5.9 million. The

07:22majority of that goes toward

07:24for corridor improvement

07:26projects, but a small portion

07:29of it, about $1 million, is for

07:31various planning and

07:32demonstration work. And that

07:34$32,000 comes from that.

07:36>> Thanks. And the the, the the

07:38majority of the money goes for

07:41corridors, which I, the DS has

07:43presented on. And we've gotten

07:44plenty of information on in the

07:45past. That work is in the

07:47design phase right now.

07:50>> For the majority of it,

07:51we're in the design procurement

07:52phase. So we're we're in the

07:54process of getting design

07:56consultants under agreement to

07:57begin the design. Yes. One of

07:59the projects is already under

08:01design with local funds, and

08:03the funding would go toward

08:04construction. So that would be

08:06bid later this year.

08:08>> Great. Thank you.

08:13>> Any other questions? Yes,

08:14Mr. President.

08:15>> Yes. Thank you. Chair. So

08:17the one that's under

08:19construction or going to be

08:20under construction or bid on is

08:22that North Clinton Avenue just

08:23for clarity, correct. All right.

08:25Thank you.

08:28>> Any other questions or

08:29concerns?

08:31>> So moved. Second.

08:36>> All those in favor say I. I

08:38the motion carries.

08:45Introductory number 334.

08:47Authorizing an agreement and

08:49appropriating funds for the

08:50removal of an area way as part

08:52of the Stone Street

08:54Reconstruction Project. Any

08:56questions? Yes. Council member

08:59Gruber.

08:59>> Thanks. So, Stonestreet, my

09:03my understanding is there has

09:04been some back and forth during

09:07the design phase about moving

09:09to one way, keeping the street

09:11two ways. Just want to

09:12understand where we landed.

09:16>> Yep. That's correct. The

09:18street before construction was

09:22two way. It was one way back,

09:27maybe about eight years ago,

09:31but it got converted to two way

09:33at the time. And we are going

09:35back. What we landed on was one

09:38way northbound. I'm sorry, two

09:40two way from Broad Street to

09:44the South Avenue garage

09:45entrance, which is also the

09:47entrance to the Metropolitan

09:48Building. Two driveways there.

09:51So coming out of those

09:52driveways, you can go either

09:53north or south and then to the

09:56north of that there are no

09:57driveways, so it's northbound

09:59only. So about the upper two

10:01upper one third would be one

10:02way northbound, and the lower

10:05two thirds of the street would

10:06be two way.

10:07>> Thanks. And that's the

10:08that's the final determination.

10:10That's what's been communicated.

10:11That's moving forward.

10:13>> That's correct.

10:14>> Okay. Thank you. Yep.

10:17>> Any other questions? Seeing

10:19none. Can I have a motion?

10:21>> So moved.

10:23>> Second.

10:25>> Now we can go to the vote.

10:27All in favor, say aye.

10:29>> Aye.

10:29>> Those against, say nay.

10:32Motion passes. Introductory

10:37number 335. Appropriating New

10:39York State Department of

10:41Transportation funds and

10:42amending the 2020 627 budget.

10:44Any questions?

10:46>> Move it!

10:48>> Sorry. Sorry, Mike.

10:50>> Council member. Gruber.

10:51>> Apologies. Is this just

10:52formula based? Like how.

10:53Where's the 410 come from? And

10:58is the formula based on the

10:59number of potholes? Because

11:00that would be that'd be.

11:02>> Now the state budget was

11:04passed so late that the numbers

11:06that we had in the proposed and

11:08approved budget was less than

11:11what the state actually

11:12afforded us.

11:14>> The state gave us more.

11:17>> Than what we had in the

11:18proposed budget. If you

11:19remember, the state had not

11:21passed their budget.

11:22>> But in terms of the. So the

11:24410 is to help with paving and

11:26fixing potholes, etc. is it. Is

11:29it just. Does each municipality

11:31get a. Is it a formula based.

11:33Or are we. Are we applying for

11:35it? How is the dollar amount

11:37determined?

11:37>> It's formula based. So it's

11:39a total amount of over $8

11:42million for all these grants.

11:44The Chips program, the pave,

11:46our potholes, the paved New

11:48York right. And so the the

11:51amount that we appropriated in

11:52the budget, this is just the

11:55excess that we did not budget

11:56for. Got it.

11:58>> Got it. Okay. Thank you.

11:59>> Just a point of

12:01clarification. Those funds are

12:03not pothole money. It is for

12:05road reconstruction. It's

12:07always a disclaimer that you

12:09can use for potholes that

12:11cannot be. It can be used for

12:13street reconstruction, chip

12:15seal and so forth, but not for

12:17potholes.

12:17>> Okay. Thanks.

12:22>> Any other questions? And we

12:26can let the record show that

12:28we've been joined by both

12:29Council Member Martin and

12:30Lubian. So I had a first. Can I

12:35have a second?

12:36>> Second?

12:37>> All those in favor, say I.

12:39>> I.

12:40>> I those against say nay.

12:44Item passes. Introductory

12:48number 336. Amending ordinance

12:54number 2026-126. Amending

12:59resolution number 2020 623 and

13:01authorizing an agreement for

13:02the Mount Hope Cemetery

13:04Historic Fence project.

13:07Questions.

13:09>> Move it.

13:10>> Second.

13:12>> All those in favor, say aye.

13:14Aye. Those in favor, say nay.

13:17The motion carries.

13:20Introductory number 337.

13:23Authorizing and a mandatory

13:24agreement related to the Martin

13:26Luther King Jr Memorial Park

13:28playground renovation questions.

13:32>> Move it.

13:34>> Council president.

13:36>> Yes. So in the transmittal,

13:39it references that there was a

13:42delay that was caused by the

13:44construction firm that is

13:46causing this $15,000 increase

13:48is. That's the way I read it

13:50anyway. And that the

13:53administration intends to get

13:54that money back or recoup the

13:56cost from the construction

13:57contractor. Could we talk

13:59through that a little bit? Why

14:00we would front money that we

14:03would want to recover?

14:14>> So there's been some delays

14:16with the contractor on on this

14:19work. And we would. So we have

14:24a poor service that's

14:25technically overseeing the work.

14:27So with the delays of the

14:29contractor that we require that

14:31our service to stay a little

14:33longer than because of the

14:34delays of the work, we will be

14:36building the contractor who's

14:37supposed who's supposed to be

14:39doing the work for damages.

14:43Associated with the delays of

14:44the work. So that's how we

14:45recoup that.

14:46>> Got it. So it's not. So it's

14:48really the project management

14:50team that.

14:50>> Is.

14:51>> Providing the cost. Okay.

14:52Got it. Thank you.

14:55>> Council Member Gruber.

14:56>> And so what is the timeline

14:59and and like Will will MLK

15:03playground be usable before.

15:07Snowfall?

15:09>> That's the hope

15:10commissioners on it working

15:11with the contractors on a daily

15:13basis. We begin updates every

15:14day on the work. Fencing was

15:16put up recently this past week.

15:20They're very close to finishing

15:23the substantive work. Then we

15:24have to identify the punch list

15:27items. My hope is I don't want

15:29to give an exact timeline

15:30because it's been give and take

15:32between us and the contractor,

15:34but my hope is to have it done

15:35in the near term. But we're

15:37working with them.

15:38>> Thanks.

15:40>> Any additional questions?

15:43Seeing none. May I have a

15:44motion?

15:45>> Move it.

15:46>> Second.

15:47>> All those in favor, say aye.

33:02member Martin.

33:06>> Good afternoon. Director. So

33:11thank you for being here. And

33:13thank you for pretty thorough

33:16report. I just have two

33:18questions. The first one is

33:21about the complaint intake. You

33:24mentioned there were ten in

33:25August and six of them came

33:28through the channels. What

33:32channels were the other four

33:33received through?

33:36>> Good evening. Thank you for

33:37that question. So we get

33:41complaints online so people can

33:43submit that. So we regularly

33:45are looking at the online

33:47portal portal to make sure that

33:49it's accessible, right. That

33:51it's easy. And then also

33:54individuals call in on the

33:57hotline.

33:59>> Gotcha. Okay. Thank you. And

34:01second question. So data access

34:03has been one of the biggest

34:05struggles in every iteration of

34:07the PEB. It appears it is still

34:10a struggle. And I do appreciate

34:11that there is a collaborative

34:13working relationship between

34:14all the entities at the table.

34:18But in the based on the report,

34:19I'm not sure like what the

34:22specifics are. So can you say

34:25more or provide a little more

34:27detail around specific data you

34:28may be looking for and barriers

34:30you may be experiencing?

34:32>> Absolutely. Just a few weeks

34:33ago, and actually, President

34:35Melendez was in the meeting, I

34:37know that Patrick Booth is here.

34:39He was in the meeting. The

34:40chief was in the meeting as

34:42well as two staff members. And

34:44it really comes down to Council

34:46member Martin. We want to look

34:48at trends and patterns. Right.

34:50And so we needed to come to

34:54agreement relative to what that

34:56meant. And so where we landed,

34:59after a 30 minute conversation,

35:01we are going down to the public

35:03safety building. We're going to

35:04meet with the chief Captain

35:06Swetman, and I believe some of

35:07his other staff. And we want to

35:11map out what those parameters

35:13are. And we've been working

35:15back at the Police

35:16Accountability Board to really

35:18make it clear, to articulate

35:20what it is that we are seeking

35:22so that we can grant that

35:24access. We felt that the

35:25meeting was very productive and

35:27that we just needed, again, to

35:30make clear what exactly it is

35:32that we were looking for.

35:34Patrick was agreeable to that.

35:37So I feel very hopeful and very

35:39positive for positive movement.

35:41>> Amazing. Thank you so much.

35:42And Patrick, as these issues go

35:45on, if there are any reasons

35:46why you decide to bar access

35:49based on a request, can you

35:50just please provide it to all

35:52of council in writing? Thank

35:53you and thank you so much for

35:55all your work.

35:56>> Thank you.

35:59>> Any additional questions

36:01related to any of the reports

36:02before we conclude? All right.

36:06With no further business, the

36:07Public Safety Committee stands

36:09adjourned, and we have the

36:11Committee of the whole at 445.

37:42>> They can find.

37:48>> Yeah. No no no no.

45:13>> At this time I'd like to

45:15call the Committee of the whole

45:17to order and ask the deputy

45:18clerk to call the Roll.

45:19>> Council member, Gruber,

45:21Council member Leslie Smith

45:23here. Council member Lupien

45:25here. Council member.

45:27>> Martin here.

45:28>> Council member.

45:29>> Monroe here.

45:30>> Council member. Paterson

45:32here. Council member. Smith.

45:35Vice president. Harris. Excused.

45:37President Melendez here. Thank

45:39you.

45:42>> All right. So before the

45:43council and the committee of

45:45the whole are a couple items.

45:47We have introductory number 352

45:50adoption of a new zoning code

45:51and zoning map. We will be

45:55holding this item, but I will

45:57explain what we're doing here

45:58in a moment. And then we also

46:00have introductory number 353,

46:04establishing a temporary

46:06moratorium on applications to

46:07amend the zoning code and

46:09zoning map. So what we'll be

46:12doing on introductory number

46:14352, we will be having a

46:18extensive public engagement

46:19process regarding the proposed

46:21zoning code and zoning map.

46:24Instead, this item will be

46:26referred to the budget, Finance

46:27and Governance Committee. As

46:28chair, Gruber will lead public

46:30hearings on the proposed zoning

46:32code and map with the

46:34administration, and that will

46:35be held next month in council

46:37chambers. The dates for that,

46:39we're looking at October 21st

46:41and 22nd here at City Hall,

46:45beginning at 5 p.m. and then

46:47the item will also be referred

46:49to the Neighborhood Jobs and

46:50Housing Committee as Chair

46:51Patterson, in conjunction with

46:52each district Council member,

46:55will conduct community forums,

46:57host community forums in each

46:58quad of the city on the

47:01proposed code and map. There

47:04will be at least four meetings

47:07in these in each quad of the

47:09city, and those would start at

47:10the end of this month and into

47:12October. The dates for those

47:14will be confirmed and publicly

47:16released as early as tomorrow,

47:18and we plan to have a. In

47:21addition to the four meetings

47:22we're talking about with

47:23district Council members

47:25leading them, we're expecting

47:26that council members on their

47:28own will also be joining

47:30community meetings or hosting

47:31additional forums outside of

47:32that process. It is our

47:37expectation in terms of

47:38timeline, that we also will

47:40have a work session with one of

47:42the consultants that worked on

47:43this project before coming.

47:45We're looking at October 8th,

47:47but we will confirm that

47:49publicly as well. And then it

47:51is not anticipated that we will

47:53have a public hearing on the

47:55matter until November. So the

47:57public hearing for the zoning

47:59outside of the district forms

48:00that we talked about, the

48:02public hearing will be held on

48:03Thursday, November 12th at 6

48:05p.m. The council will not vote

48:07on the zoning code until at

48:09least November, but possibly

48:11December, pending the public

48:13input and decisions that

48:15council has to make. I will

48:17open it up just to see if

48:18there's any quick questions

48:20about process, and then we will

48:21adjourn. Any questions?

48:22>> Yeah, I think it was my

48:25understanding when we had

48:26initially discussed a plan that

48:28a someone who hadn't worked on

48:29the zoning code, an independent

48:32person would be available to us

48:34to discuss the code. So I'm I

48:38didn't hear that in the list of

48:39things you you mentioned. So I

48:40just wanted to follow up on

48:42that piece.

48:43>> Sure. So the, the consultant

48:47that we're talking about worked

48:49on this, the very front end of

48:51Zap in the previous

48:53administration. I don't think,

48:55to my understanding, has been

48:57involved. And we can get

48:58confirmation from the

49:00administration since the

49:02beginning, but they would be an

49:04outside consultant that would I

49:05don't think they've worked on

49:06our zoning code. And we can ask

49:09maybe the council staff also to

49:11confirm this in any substantive

49:13matter. And in a couple of

49:15years.

49:16>> I'll I'll stay back. But,

49:17but I, yeah, I, I think a, a, a

49:19larger conversation should be

49:21had. This is my first time

49:22hearing that cameras would be

49:24the, the group. And initially

49:25we had, you know, discussions

49:27that had input. So this I guess

49:30deviates from, from my

49:32expectation and some

49:33expectations we had around who

49:35would be doing this and what

49:36decision making around it would

49:37look like. But I'm happy to

49:39hang back and discuss further.

49:41>> Thank you. Thank you. Any

49:42additional questions on the

49:43process? Council Member Gruber.

49:48>> Yeah, not a question, just a

49:50comment. I think it would be

49:51good. I think typically during

49:53budget season, council staff

49:56puts out a a graphic that is

49:58shareable so that people know

50:00where and when to engage. When

50:03do we plan to have the four

50:05district based sessions

50:07scheduled?

50:08>> So at this point, I believe

50:10staff are working on locations

50:11and have been working with

50:12district council members to

50:14solidify that. I know that we

50:15have two confirmed dates and

50:17locations, and we're working on

50:18the other two. So it is our

50:19hope that by tomorrow we'll

50:21have that ready and then we'll

50:22be able to put out a graphic to

50:25the public through our social

50:27media and other channels,

50:30hopefully by early next week.

50:32>> Great. I know there's

50:34continues to be. There's going

50:35to always be some communication

50:37from community members that

50:38there's not enough public

50:39engagement, there's not enough

50:40public hearings, as you just

50:42laid out. There's going to be

50:43at least five more. Six more,

50:46maybe not just for us, but for

50:49community members to come

50:50participate. So I think we just

50:51need to continue to, to beat

50:52that drum over and over again

50:54and encourage people to come

50:55out to those sessions.

50:57>> Yes. And I would also

50:58encourage anyone in the next

50:59couple of months to also join

51:01us for speak to council and

51:02sign up to speak on zoning.

51:03It'll be on the A list because

51:05it is an item that's before us.

51:07So anyone who would like to

51:09speak on zoning and speak to

51:10council will be prioritized.

51:13Any additional questions? Okay,

51:17so one final note for the

51:19council. We will also have a

51:20staff report that will be

51:22produced. And the hope is to

51:23have that to council by Friday,

51:25October 9th. As a companion

51:27piece before we get into public

51:30hearings with the

51:31administration and with no

51:33further business, the Committee

51:35of the whole stands adjourned.
