06:31to come and take part of

06:33cultural celebrations tonight.

06:35We also take a moment to

06:37recognize our Jewish neighbors

06:38as they observe the High

06:40Holidays Rosh Hashanah, Yom

06:41Kippur and Sukkot, a season of

06:44reflection and renewal that

06:45carries through this month and

06:47into October. On behalf of

06:49Rochester City Council, we

06:50recognize the meaningful season

06:52for our Jewish community and

06:53wish them a healthy and

06:54meaningful New Year. Before we

06:57continue with tonight's agenda,

07:00we ask that you join us for a

07:02moment of silence for all those

07:03who lost their lives 25 years

07:06ago this month during the

07:08September 11th attacks. You and

07:10your families are in our hearts

07:12here today and every day.

07:14Please join me in a moment of

07:16silence. Thank you. Council

07:29Member Gruber, will you please

07:30lead us through the Pledge of

07:32Allegiance?

07:40>> I.

07:55>> At this time, I'd ask my

07:56council colleagues to join me

07:58at the podium for tonight's

07:59recognitions.

08:25So tonight,

08:26Rochester City Council is proud

08:28to recognize two groups of

08:29rochesterians whose work makes

08:31a real difference in our

08:32neighborhoods across the city.

08:34First, we'd like to call up all

08:36of the crossing guards in the

08:37room to please join us in the

08:40front.

09:11So on behalf of

09:12Rochester City Council, we

09:13thank you for your work keeping

09:14our kids safe as they travel to

09:16and from school every day. You

09:19are the reason parents can send

09:20their children out the door

09:22each morning with confidence.

09:23Knowing a familiar, caring face

09:24will help them cross safely.

09:27This job asks a lot of you

09:29through various weather

09:31patterns, including rain, snow,

09:32and cold. You are out on our

09:34streets before the sun is up,

09:37is even fully up, and making

09:38sure that every intersection

09:40and every child who passes

09:41through it is as safe as

09:43possible. Drivers are not

09:45always patient and warnings are

09:48not always easy, but you show

09:51up anyway. The city of

09:53Rochester could not keep our

09:54kids safe on their way to

09:55school. Without your steady

09:57patience, presence, and your

10:00judgment. And I have to tell

10:03you, you are some brave souls.

10:04I've seen some cars coming at

10:06you, and you got that stop sign

10:08up. And you don't. You don't

10:09flinch. So we appreciate you

10:11standing in the gap for our

10:12children. And on behalf of City

10:14council and the families you

10:15protect every day, we are

10:17grateful for your dedication.

10:18Thank you so much for your work.

10:24And we're going to take a quick

10:26picture.

12:09So next, with all the

12:11champions and organizers of the

12:12Flower City Tennis Tournament,

12:14please join us in the front.

12:37So

12:38standing here tonight are

12:39representatives from the

12:42winners of the singles Mixed

12:43and Doubles Flower City Tennis

12:45Tournament. These types of

12:47events bring our neighborhoods

12:48together, build community

12:50around a shared love of the

12:51game, and showcase the talent

12:53and competitive spirit that

12:55exists right here in our city.

12:56I'm also told that Council

12:58Member Gruber is lost to some

13:00of these individuals, so that

13:01works for me too. To the

13:04winners. Your commitment to the

13:05sport and the hours of practice

13:07that got you here. Speak to

13:09real dedication. Thank you for

13:13your representing Rochester and

13:15congratulations again on your

13:17championship through the

13:18organizers. Events like this do

13:19not happen on their own. They

13:21take planning, coordination and

13:23real commitment to the

13:24community long before the first

13:25ball is served. Because of your

13:27efforts, Rochester residents

13:29have a chance to compete and

13:31come together around a shared

13:32love of the game. So thank you

13:33for your leadership and putting

13:35in the work to make this

13:37tournament come together every

13:38year. And for the role you play

13:40in keeping Rochester's tennis

13:41community strong,

13:44congratulations.

15:14So for anyone

34:55residents who are unable to

35:23introductory number 326

35:25appropriating funds and

35:26authorizing agreement related

35:27to Peace Village that

35:29legislation is held and remain

35:31held. While we have the

35:33intention of keeping it held in

35:35committee for the moment, the

35:37desire at this point and the

35:38intention will be to bring it

35:40to a special meeting on October

35:436th, Tuesday, October 6th. The

35:45plan is to bring that to a

35:47special meeting following

35:48committee meetings here in

35:50Council chambers. And we have

35:52some some issues that we're

35:54working through at this point

35:55to get some clarity. And we've

35:56received a lot of

35:57administration from from some

35:59of the prospective vendors and

36:03as well as the city

36:04administration. So we have a

36:04lot to go through still before

36:06we bring that to the vote on

36:08October 6th. But with two more

36:10weeks, I think we will. We'll

36:12be in a good place to to move

36:14forward, hopefully. So with no

36:15further business to come before

36:16the council, we are adjourned.

37:01>> Well. Okay. Oka
