[00:00:02]
IF YOU WOULD, WE'VE ALREADY BEGUN TO LOOK AT SOME, SOME IDEAS.
THERE'S AN ENGINEERING REPORT.
THAT'S DUE TO FARMER MANAGEMENT IN JUNE, 1996.
AND, UH, I'M GETTING READY TO RELEASE A PO TO THE ENGINEERING FIRM TO BEGIN THAT STUFF.
WE'VE ALREADY DONE SOME WORK THAT I CAN BRING YOU UP TO DATE.
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, NOT ALLOWED TO SAY TO THAT, UH, THIS PAST WEEK, MY BROTHER, ONE OF MY BROTHERS AND I WROTE HER TO SEE DUES ALL THE WAY FARTHER THAN I'VE EVER BEEN UP IN THESE RIVER, WENT ALL THE WAY TO JASPER.
AND, UH, MY WIFE LOOKED REAL CONFUSED WHEN I TOLD HER THAT I SAID IT WASN'T EASY GOING DOWN HIGHWAY 55 ON THE SEA-DOO.
BUT ANYWAY, UH, RAISING, I WANTED TO BRING THAT UP IS THE RIVER WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
I MEAN, ANYBODY THAT YOU KNOW, THAT YOU THINK THAT DOWN HERE, IT LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT DOES ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD IS JUST AS LOOKED MAN, AS FAR AS THE QUALITY OF THE WATER, I DON'T HAVE ANY TEST TEAMS WITH ME OR ANY OF THAT KIND OF THING, BUT I DO KNOW PEOPLE WERE FISHING AND IT LOOKED GOOD, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE NOT SUPPOSED TO STAY VIGILANT.
IT JUST SHOWS THAT WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO WORK WITH AND WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT.
IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD ANY MORE FOR THE WASTEWATER MISSES SO FAST, IT'S FRIGHTENING.
THE NEXT THING IS THE CONSENT AGENDA.
ALL THE NEXT THING WE'VE GOT IS APPOINTMENTS.
UH, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE HER MOVE ON THAT? START DOWN THAT DON, IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR PAPERWORK, YOU KNOW, IT'S WELL, I SEE A CAT THAT EVANS, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT SHE'D BE APPOINTED TO THE LITERATE SERVICES BOARD FROM THE FIFTH WARD.
I KNOW WHERE SHE WORKS AT UC VERSUS A VERY NICE LADY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FIELD WARDEN HERE.
SO WE NEED TO GET THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTATIVE.
WELL, IF YOU WANT TO TABLE IT TO THE END, I'M NOT NO BIG THING.
THAT'S WELL, WHAT SHOULD WE DO? IS IT BEEN TRADITION? THE LEFT ONE? WELL, I DON'T THINK BARBARA WOULD, WOULD WOULDN'T MIND.
THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM WHOM? FOR THE ELECTRIC, THE LORD RIGHT HERE.
I REALLY DON'T THINK BOB WAS WITH MIND.
NOW WE CAN FIND OUT BARBARA, BARBARA, I SEE A MEMORANDUM ASKING THAT KATHY EVANS BE APPOINTED TO THE ELECTRIC SERVICES BOARD.
THAT'S FROM YOUR WOR YOU DON'T MIND.
I DIDN'T FILL IT OUT, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING OUT IN THE BOTTLE.
FIVE OF HER BEING ONE OF THE TWO APARTMENTS, ALL THE PO'S LATE.
UH, DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A MOVE ON ANY THE OTHER ONE WE NEED? WE NEED ONE MORE OUT OF THE LIST.
ANYBODY WANT TO PICK ONE OF THOSE NAMES? OR SHALL WE JUST LEAVE THAT THE NEXT TIME? NEXT TIME.
AND ANY OTHER BARBARA, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER APPOINTMENTS IN HERE? CAN WE DEFER THE REST OF THE FRUIT NOW? ROBERT, IF YOU KEEP MOM, THEN I MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE THIS TAPE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.
MR. MAYOR, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHICH HELPS TO ADVISE THE STAFF AND THE BOARD ON CD PROJECTS, THAT THEY HAVE GOTTEN A RECOMMENDATION FOR A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, ALL OF THE MEMBERS HAVE NOW THEIR TERMS HAVE EXPIRED.
AND SO SOME OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VERY INTERESTED IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THAT THE CITY HAS RUN.
MAYBE MRS. RANDOLPH IS ON THAT.
[00:05:03]
WELL, WE HAVE A MOVIE AND YOU HAVE A SECOND.DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON IT? OR I'M JUST THANKFUL THERE ARE PEOPLE WILLING TO DO THE SERVICE.
ALL OPPOSED THEIR OPPONENT GOT TO GET VOLUNTEERS.
WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE ON MY, I THINK THAT WAS ALL ONE.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO AVERAGE IT OUT.
JUST THE PLAYER, LIKE THE BRAIN BEFORE, AND HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN HELP.
WE'RE NOT
NOW I GOT ON BOARD AND I GOT CUSTODY OF MY SON.
AND SINCE I'VE HAD THAT BOY, AIN'T NEVER SEEN SHIT.
I KEEP TRYING EVERY YEAR TO GET SOME RED.
MAYBE YOU CAN GET SOME MOTHERS.
IF YOU GET SOMEBODY TO RESPOND TO THE RAFT RACE, I DON'T TELL THEM, BUT GO FIND IT.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT? THE PROBLEM WITH THAT? WELL DONE LIABILITY.
I THINK SOMEBODY GOT SUED AND IF YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT THEM ON THE SALE AND THE LAWN WAS TORN APART IN THERE ON THE WARD, HE REPRESENTED ONE OF, AND THAT HE CANNOT HAVE A REFERENCE WITH YOU ANYMORE.
I MEAN, I REMEMBER DON BRINGING THIS UP ONCE BEFORE AND THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT COULD NOT BE A RAT RACE.
WELL, I THINK, I THINK TOM CAN TELL THAT THE STATUS OF IT COMMON FOR THE REMAINDER A MOMENT AGO, CORRECT? THERE WAS A FIGHT BETWEEN ONE GROUP OR ONE ENTITY THAT CLAIMED TO OWN THE RIGHTS IN THE RAT RACE AND ANOTHER GROUP THAT WANTED TO PUT IT ON.
I HAD PUT IT ON, THEY ENDED UP IN LITIGATION ABOUT IT.
I REMEMBER SEEING SOME OF THE PAPERS COME ACROSS MY DESK, BUT I COULDN'T TELL YOU THE PRECISE, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO I MISS IT MYSELF.
MAYBE WE HAD ALL THE TOP OF HIM.
IF HE'S FAMILIAR WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO IT MIGHT BE SOME SORT OF PERMANENT PANAMA THING.
WE'LL GET ROBERT BOXER SPONSOR.
HE CAN TELL YOU THE STATUS OF IT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY MISCELLANEOUS? UH, NO.
WHEN I CAME IN, ROBERT WAS APPOINTING SOMEONE TO DO.
WELL WHAT HAPPENED WAS BEFORE I HAD AN APPOINTMENT.
THEN IF I REQUESTED FROM THE CAR TALKING ABOUT THE SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE FOR THE CITY, WELL, THROW IT IN THE TRASH.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS GIVE EVERYBODY ENOUGH INFORMATION TO HELP GET ENOUGH INFORMATION TOGETHER.
SO WHEN WE DO MAKE A DECISION, WHICH WE HAVEN'T MADE A DECISION ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH COGNITION AND IT WAS IN THE THAT WE DID, BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW, WE HAVE IT TILL WE GO INTO BUDGET, BUT, UH, I'M TRYING TO GET SOME INFORMATION SO WE CAN MAKE A GOOD RATIONAL DECISION ON IT.
SO LOOK FOR ONE MORE THING COMING IN ON WHAT IT WOULD COST US FOR THOSE SERVICES AS A MEMBER OF A CAR, AS OPPOSED TO A NON-MEMBER.
SO MAYBE THAT WILL HELP US A LITTLE MORE TO, BUT THESE OTHER PEOPLE PULLING OUT WON'T HAVE ON, WOULD IT BE THE SAME CAR WHERE ALL THESE PEOPLE GONE? IF WE DON'T COMPARE APPLES AND ORANGES, BY THE TIME WE GET A COMPARISON COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT, I FRANKLY, I, I, I FEEL THAT, UH, WITH THE PRESSURE THEY'RE UNDER, THEY'RE GOING TO BE VERY HIGHLY MOTIVATED TO DO THE BEST JOB THEY CAN FOR THE ONES THAT ARE HANGING IN THERE.
AND I THINK IT WILL REFLECT, WELL, I THINK IT WILL DO GOOD THINGS FOR THE CITY OF NUMBER, BUT LIKE YOU SAY, WE HAVE NOT REALLY VOTED ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND WE'LL NOT UNTIL TILL WE GO TO BUDGET UNTIL ELECTION TIME.
BUT, UH, I STAYED AT THAT MEETING.
I WAS WILLING TO GIVE HIM, GIVE HIM ANOTHER YEAR,
[00:10:01]
BUT THAT IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ACTION OF THE CITY OF, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET YOU SOME INFORMATION.SO YOU CAN LOOK AND SEE WHAT IS THERE AND WHAT WE'RE GETTING FOR OUR DOLLAR AND A LOT OF INFORMATION THERE.
UM, UM, UM, IT'S A BIG ONE TOO.
UH, MAX, DID YOU GET A COPY OF THIS LIST OF THE NORMAL? WELL, I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO, BUT WHAT THIS REPRESENTS, THIS IS A COMPILATION OF A TOTAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES OF IN THE CITY OF NEW BERN AND THE NUMBERS OF EMPLOYEES WHO LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY, NOT ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO GET THIS INFORMATION FOR ME BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, I FEEL THAT, UH, WHEN YOU HAVE TWO EQUALLY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS FOR A CITY JOB AND THE CITY OF NEWBURGH THAT YOU OUGHT TO GIVE PREFERENCE FOR THE PERSON WHO LIVES IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
AND THE REASON IS THAT PARTIALLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE HOSTILE TO US EXERCISING OUR RIGHTS, UH, THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY GIVES US AS FAR AS, UH, ANNEXATION AND EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION.
NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE IN THE CITY, BUT EVERYBODY WANTS WHAT WE OFFER.
AND I THINK, THINK THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE A JOB APPLICANT WHO HAS A SKILL, THAT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED, THAT YOU OUGHT TO REALLY GIVE PREFERENCE TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN SADDEST CITY, BECAUSE WE NEED TO TRY TO CIRCULATE MONEY IN THE NEW-BORN ECONOMY, NOT, NOT GIVE PREFERENCE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEWBURN ADDRESS, BUT PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE CITY LIMITS.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN APHORISM THAT SAYS THAT CHARITY STARTS AT HOME AND WE NEED TO FOLLOW THAT LEAD.
I THINK KELSON HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS THEY GIVE PREFERENCE TO THOSE WHO LIVE INSIDE THE CITY.
I THINK WE NEED TO EXPLORE A POLICY THAT MIMICS THEIR POLICY.
IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS REALLY, MR. HARTMAN TOLD ME THAT 40% OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE CITY OF OUTSIDE OF NEWBURN, THAT'S KINDA HIGH.
AND, UH, WE KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE CITY WHO ARE UNEMPLOYED AND, UH, WE CAN TAKE A BIG STEP TO HELP REMEDY THE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE CITY.
NO, WE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HEALED HERE.
IF YOU HAVE LOW PAYING JOBS AND, UH, THE CITY CAN SIT IN EXAMPLE, BY HELPING TO RAISE A STANDARD OF LIVING OR FOR THOSE LIVERS OUT OF CITY, BY GIVING THEM A FIRST CHOICE OF FIRST CRACK AT THESE JOBS THAT ARE OPEN.
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT 40% IS JUST TOO HIGH.
NOW I JUST WANT THIS TO THE CITY TO EXPLORE AND TO BRING IT BACK TO US AT A WORK SESSION SO WE CAN DISCUSS IT.
AT LEAST GET SOME POLICY EMPLOYMENT, PERSONNEL POLICIES FROM OTHER CITIES LIKE COUNSELING AND GREENVILLE TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.
I HAVE BEEN TOLD, OH, REALLY ABOUT A PERSONNEL DIRECTOR WHO USED TO BE THE PERSONNEL DIRECTOR.
AND KEMPSTON THAT THEY HAVE A POLICY WHEREIN THEY HIRE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE CITY.
IF YOU, IF YOU, UH, IF YOU WORK FOR THE CITY, I THINK WAS IN
LET'S SAY THEY MIGHT BE WORKING AS CASHIERS OR WHATEVER.
AND IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THESE FOLKS IN NEWBORNS, THEY MIGHT HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY JOBS LIKE POLICEMEN, BUT TO DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE IN NEWBURGH, YOU GOT TO KNOW THE CALIBER OF PEOPLE YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY IS THAT YOU LIVE WITH THEM, YOU INTERACT WITH THEM, YOU SEE THEM IN THE GROCERY STORES, YOU SEE THEM IN THE MOVIES, YOU SEE HIM IN SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.
AND WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE REGULARLY, YOU GET ACCUSTOMED TO THE KIND OF FOLKS THAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
AND I THINK PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU CONSIDERING PUBLIC SAFETY JOB, THEY ALL LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND.
THESE FOLKS WILL BE GRANDFATHERED.
OH NO, I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT RETROACTIVE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, PEOPLE WE HIRE IN THE FUTURE.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT RETROACTIVE.
THAT WOULD BE, IF THEY'RE BOTH EQUALLY QUALIFIED, THEY'RE EQUAL EQUALITY.
IF THEY'RE NOT, WE DON'T WANT TO, UH, YOU KNOW, GET LESS THAN THE PROPER BANG FOR BUCK, MAN, I, AND SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, LESS QUALIFIES THE POLICY AS IT RELATES TO THE PARK AND HE HAD TO MOVE.
BUT IS IT THE ONE THAT GETS THAT, YOU KNOW, I JUST,
[00:15:01]
I THINK IT'S SOMETHING JUST TO LOOK AT.NO, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE I WOULD.
I WOULD OBJECT TO THEM LIVING IN THE CITY OR ETJ AS A COMPROMISE, BUT WE'LL LOOK AT, WE'LL LOOK AT THE WHOLE THING, LOOKING AT YOUR PLACE.
I THINK THERE MAYBE A FOURTH OF A SQUARE, I HAD A COMMENT ABOUT ROSS' STATEMENT, BUT I'LL SAY THIS TO GET THE OTHER INFORMATION.
I DO KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.
I HAVE TRIED TO THINK OF THINGS, BUT THEY ALWAYS BLANK YOU A LOT.
I WAS LOOKING AT, UH, THE NEWS AND IN WASHINGTON, DC, THEY WOULD HAVE SAME SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH EVERYBODY WHO WORKS IN DC, LIVING OUTSIDE OF DC.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU KNOW, IT HAS A REAL TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT.
I MEAN, IF YOU GOT 368 PEOPLE, 40% OF THOSE LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY, THEN THAT'S A LOT OF HOMES THAT COULD BE BOUGHT HERE.
THAT'S A LOT OF PROPERTY TAXES, A LOT OF OUR RETAIL PURCHASING POWER.
AND, UM, I JUST, I JUST THINK IT, IT WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY BECAUSE 40% OF 360 8, THAT'S ROUGHLY WHAT, 110, THE ANSWERS ONLY PAY FOR.
IT SAYS 30% ALLOW POPULATION HERE.
NOW THAT'S NOT 40%, BUT IT'S ABOUT 30 MR. HARTMAN.
SEE WHAT IT IS WHEN IT SAYS OTHER EMPLOYEES THAT LIVE OUTSIDE, NEWBURN EMPLOYEES WITH NEW BURNER ADDRESSES 2 66.
A LOT OF THOSE FOLKS, THEY HAVE NEW BURNED ADDRESSES, BUT THEY LIVE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS AND THEY LIVE IN CITIES TO HELP NEW BURNER DRESSES.
WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO CALL ANY NAMES.
I'M JUST TRYING TO, UM, I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN THIS TIME.
CAUSE I DO, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD QUALIFY FOR A JOB IN THE CITY, BUT THEY CAN'T GET JOBS WORKING WITH THE CITY THAT LIVE RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY.
WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU BEGAN TO GET ROB'S INFORMATION TOGETHER, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT.
UH, I THINK TWO, TWO THINGS MIGHT BE A PILL TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT HAS DONE IN THE PAST.
MAYBE WE MIGHT WANT TO JUST SPOT CHECK MAYBE 10 OR 12 DIFFERENT POSITIONS, BUT, UH, SEE WHO APPLIED FOR THOSE POSITIONS? WHERE ARE THEY IN THE CITY AND WHERE THEY QUALIFY.
AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE EMPLOYED IN THE CITY NOW, HOW MANY OF THEM MOVED HERE AFTER THEY GOT A JOB? AND HOW MANY OF THEM THAT WERE EMPLOYED AT THE TIME MOVING OUTSIDE THE CITY, BECAUSE THEY WERE ABLE TO BETTER THEMSELVES BY GETTING A BETTER HOME OUTSIDE OF CITY.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS I THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO LOOK AT ALSO.
YEAH, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT TO COSTS, TO TAKE SOMEBODY'S JOB AWAY BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE CITY OF NEWBURN WORK FOR THE CITY AND THEN MOVE OUT.
ROB HAS AGREED THAT THIS WOULD BE THE THING.
BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT.
BUT IF YOU, BUT IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE A REAL ANSWER, IF YOU HIRED SOMEONE WHO NOW LIVES IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH NEXT WEEK, AND THEN THEY MOVED OUT OF THE CITY A YEAR FROM NOW AND YOU, I'M NOT SURE YOU CAN FIRE THEM.
SO THERE'S, BUT IF IT HAS MERIT, THE INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
I THINK THAT YOU NEED TO, UM, AS YOU APPROACH HIGHER SKILLED JOBS, THE HIGHER THE SKILLS BECOME THE RARE THE PEOPLE ARE WITH THE NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS.
AND SO THEN WHAT YOU DO IS IF WE LIMIT IT TO A PARTICULAR AREA, THEN WE LIMIT OURSELVES IN THE LABOR POOL THAT WE COULD REALLY LOOK AT FOR SOME OF THOSE TYPES OF JOBS FOR SOME JOBS.
OF COURSE, I THINK THERE PROBABLY, IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO FIND, UH, VERY GOOD PEOPLE IN, IN THE CITY.
BUT THEN THERE ARE OTHER JOBS POLICE OFFICERS THAT WE REQUIRE A CERTAIN OCCASION OF POLICE OFFICERS, FOR INSTANCE.
AND, UH, THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF CERTIFIED POLICE OFFICERS WALKING AROUND IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED AND IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ALREADY.
SO THEN WHAT MAKES US GO IS OUTSIDE.
AND WE USED TO HAVE A RULING, UH, SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT NO EMPLOYEE COULD LIVE MORE THAN 15 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.
WELL, THEN WE HAD LIKE THREE EMPLOYEES OR SOMETHING THAT WE FOUND OUT WERE LIVING, UH, 15.2 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE CITY MINUTES.
AND IT BECAME A MATTER OF, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM THE EXTRA A HUNDRED FEET.
ARE WE GOING TO MAKE A MOVE TO GET A HUNDRED FEET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE? AND DO WE DISRUPT IN ORDER TO DO THAT? SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE WOULD FACE THAT WE HAVE FACED IN THE PAST, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE A S A SIMILAR TYPE RESTRICTION IN THE PAST, BUT I'D BE GLAD TO GET THE INFORMATION
[00:20:01]
FOR YOU.BUT IF, IF, IF YOU HAD TO MOVE SOMEONE, UH, FROM, LET'S SAY ANOTHER PART OF THE STATE AND THEY MOVED HERE, DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE UNFAIR FOR THEM TO MOVE IN ANOTHER CITY.
THEY GOT TO MOVE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY ANYWAY, BUT YET THEY DON'T CHOOSE NEWBURN.
WELL, I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY BY THE RULES THAT WE SET FOR THEM IN THE BEGINNING.
IF WE SAY WE'VE HIRED YOU AND YOU HAVE, AND WE HELP YOU TO RELOCATE, OR YOU'RE GOING TO RELOCATE HERE, THEN IF YOU ARE GOING TO RELOCATE ANYWAY, WE EXPECT YOU TO LIVE IN THE CITY.
I THINK THAT'S ONE THING WE DON'T TELL THEM UP FRONT.
I DON'T THINK WE REALLY GET INVOLVED IN WHATEVER THAT SERVICE VENDORS LIKE.
I KNOW A GENTLEMEN WHO BEAT IT ON THE SERVICE THAT WE HAVE, AND HE'S LOCAL IF YOU'RE IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH.
AND, UM, THEN VERSUS SOMEONE WHO IS OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY AND THE CITY GETTING CONTRACTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, DO WE GIVE ANY WEIGHT TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE FROM MY AREA? I THINK THAT, UH, GENERALLY ACCEPTED PURCHASING PROCEDURES AND THIS MAY BE, IT MAY BE APPLICABLE IN SOME WAYS TO THE PERSONNEL ISSUE, BUT, UH, UH, THE CITY SEEKS THE BEST PRICES THAT IT CAN GET WHEREVER IT CAN GET THEM, BECAUSE IN OUR OPINION, IF WE GET THE BEST PRICE, IF IT'S THE LOWEST PRICE, THEN THEY SAVINGS GOES TO EVERYONE IN THE CITY.
AND NOT TO A PARTICULAR VENDOR WHO WE MIGHT SAY, WELL, WE'LL GIVE YOU ONE COST, YOUR $500 HIGHER, BUT YOU'RE HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT 500.
WE WERE GOING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE'D BE BETTER OFF TO JUST SAY, WELL, HERE'S A CHECK FOR $250.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE LOWER MAN OUTSIDE AND WE WOULD STILL COME OUT GOOD.
AND SO HE SAID, UH, IT, IT, IT'S A MATTER OF SOME CITIES HAVE THAT POLICY.
UH, BUT, UH, AS A MATTER OF GOOD SOUND BUSINESS PRACTICES, IT IS, UH, AND AS A MATTER OF HOW THE WHAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT THE CITY AS A WHOLE, THE BEST, THE BEST PROCEDURE IS TO GET THE BEST PRICE THAT YOU CAN GET FOR THE CITIZENS AND TAKE IT WHEREVER IT IS.
AND THERE ARE LOCAL PEOPLE CAN DO IT.
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE THE DELIVERY CHARGES AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE INVOLVED.
SO THEY HAVE AN ADVANTAGE TO START WITH.
SO THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPETE WELL ON THAT LEVEL.
I THINK YOU HAVE ALL YOUR COPY OF THE RESTAURANT, TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT OVER WALTON CREEK BAR 32 POINT 64 FEET OUTSIDE OF EACH OF THE TWO RIGHTS OF WAY OF HIGHWAY 75.
THIS IS A DISCONNECTION WITH THE NEW BRIDGE ACROSS TO THE USUAL.
WELL, SECOND, THERE WILL BE A BRIEF DISCUSSION.
IT'S THE TEMPORARIES YOU NEED TO CALL THE ROLL ON.
MR. MAYOR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I THINK YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU A RESOLUTION, UH, AWARDING A, B A D SAID, NOR HYDRODYNAMICS INCORPORATED FOR DEEP, WELL, NUMBER FIVE AND PUMP HIM IN THE SUM OF 200, $12,150.
I THINK WE ESTIMATED ABOUT $220,000 FOR THAT.
THE SUBJECT OF THE PRISONERS, DANNY, HOW IS THE SITUATION WORKING WITH THE PRISON EMPLOYEES WE'VE BEEN WORKING IN LATE NOW? I THINK ABOUT A MONTH, WE HAVE HAD VERY GOOD LUCK WITH THEM.
WE'VE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS. WE HAVE HAD TO SUGGEST THAT YOU REFUSE TO WORK AND WE'D HAVE CALLS UNION NAKED CAME AND PICKED THEM UP AND ALL THAT.
BUT AS FAR AS ANY REAL PROBLEMS WITH THAT, THEY'RE WORKING OUT, RIGHT.
THEY'RE FITTING IN RIGHT FOR THE GUYS.
I THINK THAT CAN BE A POSITIVE.
HOW MANY ARE WE USING NOW? WE'RE USING FIVE.
IS THAT SO YOU ANTICIPATE ADDING SOME TO DO SOME MORE ROUTINE.
I AM ANTICIPATING IN JULY THAT INCREASE THAT I'VE GOT SOME RECOMMENDATIONS IN A BUDGET.
PEOPLE DON'T CLEAN THE DISHES.
WE USE ANY AMOUNT OF EMPLOYEES.
[00:25:01]
TYPES OF THINGS DO YOU HAVE IN MIND? IF YOU'RE AT LIBERTY TO SAY I'M PLANNING ON EXPANDING IN THE PUBLIC WORKS SIDE IN THE DRAINAGE PROGRAM, THE STREET DEPARTMENT, I'M ALSO UTILIZING ONE IN OTHER BUILDINGS.IT'S KIND OF A FUCKING DRIPS HELPER.
WE'VE STARTED TAKING A LOT OF PROJECTS.
MAN HAS GOT A HELPER LIBRARY, MARK.
AND ANYWAY, I MEAN, THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT UNIFORM OR THE DISPATCH.
THEY COME IN A GREEN, UH, THAT GOT A GREEN WORK UNIFORM HOME, UH, THE ONES AS WE PUT THEM OUT INTO THE STREETS, THEY, THEY ALSO HAD A DAY OUT THROUGH TO SEE THEM ON THE STATE ROADS.
NOW THEY'VE GOT THE SAME DESK AND THEY GOT THE INMATE WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THEM.
SO THAT'D BE DISTINGUISHED INMATES.
WE DO NOT REQUIRE THAT THE YARD WASTE, WHERE WE USE THEM THAT WAY SO WE CAN GET THEM.
BUT THEY ALL WORKING OUT REAL WELL WITH HOPES THAT THE PRISON WORKS WITH US.
WELL, I THINK THE PROGRAM IS MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER FRUIT.
THEY'VE GOT A DIFFERENT PROGRAM.
I'VE GOT 14 INMATES NOW WORKING WITH A SUPERVISED.
THEY BROUGHT THEIR OWN SUPERVISOR, THEIR OWN GUARD DOWN.
WE'VE GOT 14 OF THEM WORKING FOR THE NEXT NINE DAYS, CLEANING THE DEBRIS.
WE TOOK OFF THE MIDDLE STREET AND STACKING AND USING CORE FOR THAT.
AND THEY'VE GOT THOSE PROJECTS THAT YOU CAN CONTRACT WITH.
AND, UH, THERE'S ONLY THREE, UH, THREE OF THOSE UNITS IN THE NEWPORT AREA.
BUT AS WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY AND FOUND OUT A PRODUCT, IF YOU'VE GOT SOME FATHERS THAT WE COULD WORK THAT ON, PUT IN PLACE, I KNOW WHERE IT WAS A DITCH.
I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT
WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF OUTCRY ALL OVER THE PLACE ABOUT SOCIAL RESTITUTION.
AND I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM.
AND WHILE I AM WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN FAVOR OF IT, I WANT YOU TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THEM.
I DON'T WANT ANY DANGER OF COURSE, TO THE CITIZENS, BUT I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM AND THE MORE WE CAN USE, BUT GENTLY GO GENTLY.
DON'T JUST JUMP IN UNTIL WE'RE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A SAFETY FACTOR, BUT THEN I CAN ONLY IF I EVER HAVE A JOURNEY AND SAY, AH,
