on what were you watching us i wanted to make an entrance sorry first item on the agenda two thousand and fifteen state homeland security grant program i'm so sorry i apologize i thought we were further down the agenda so not that we don't want to get in i'm sorry homeland security first yes all right this is obviously homeland security looking to participate i have a cold i apologize albany in rensselaer county troy albany pd and with us it's a yearly application we make to homeland security for let's say infrastructural needs we requested more than one hundred and thirty thousand dollars in that we requested one hundred and ten thousand would be for license plate readers stationary on intersections and twenty thousand sorry for my for voice twenty thousand for more portable radios for the department so again the license plate readers we have some out there right now there are three different intersections within the city not allowed to say publicly where the are at this point well we could say but they're more for the higher crimes this money here will kind of be earmarked towards entrance places cities itself homeland security for bridges infrastructure and so forth that may be added and again with the portable radios they're kinda replacing old ones stockpile some newer ones so if we get a major incident we can share them with other people and so forth that's all i got so the plan is to use one hundred and ten thousand for the license plate reader correct and twenty thousand for the portable radios yes we're trying to grow our license plate license plate readers really enhance our capabilities from the neighborhood camera projects that we have right now we only have approximately with the county one hundred and eighty cameras within the city the license plate readers obviously give us that much more data and intel if we have an incident and proactive policing so any questions go ahead mr so how many approximately how many readers do you think we're going to get for the amount of money i don't know last time we we we used approximately if i remember correctly one hundred thousand or so but that we had to build a we had to get a server you know we had to spend some infrastructure money so we can add more cameras on road also anytime mobile cameras that we get we can add onto the system so we had to build some infrastructure it also i can't answer it because it depends on the intersection okay one intersection we did we needed like five cameras yeah because it's just such a big intersection so depending on we haven't really kind of designated which exactly we're gonna have some meetings on it which intersections we want to do but it may only do a couple of intersections it may do five intersections we can kind of present that to you at a later date if need be but that's where we're at with it very good good good funds any other questions i have a motion i'll move it i'll second it all in favor aye next item on the agenda the two thousand and sixteen nys special traffic options program to stop dwi apologize my voice again i'm losing it this is a yearly thing again it runs through the county and then they kind of break it up disperse it to the agencies within the county and against participate in statewide dwi saturations throughout the year i kinda marked the calendar year wrong it's my fault it's two thousand and sixteen so obviously we don't have to use this in three days can you do that we can can trust us no it's for a year and again more easily to join the initiatives that we hope you know you see some of these things that initiatives go up around holidays and so forth then we we participate in the state obviously reimbursed us for overtime for those again this is a yearly grant that the amount has gone up every year and i pray that lieutenant stickton is with us tonight it's really his his baby his efforts he's the one that makes the wheels turn so good questions do i have a motion i'll move it i'll second it all in favor aye i get to sit down nice doing business with you thank you thank you the next item on the agenda is a police vehicle fitout bid to niskayuna tire service ms dechano i give you the fiscal overview of what's before you in the in two thousand and fifteen the city determined that eight new police vehicles were to be acquired and the city would afford to do that earlier this year specifically got delivery around may of two thousand and fifteen and certain fitout of the vehicles needed to be done outside of the city there were a few things that were done inside of the city some painting and that type of thing correct yes and and so we've gone out to bid for the rest of the fitout that's like the light bars and that type of thing at three bids were received with the lowest being seven million one hundred and thirty six thousand one hundred and twenty as shown in your legislative request that was your niskayuna tire service a vendor that from this perspective is new to the city for this type of work so anthony ferrari richard and these two gentlemen assistant chief falbo and lieutenant stickney worked together to kick the tires pardon the pun and make sure that everything you know that niskayuna tire can can meet the needs and the service requirement that we have and it was determined that they can this will be coming up under budget from what we had projected would be for these vehicles with the fitout and we're requesting that you consider such an award questions so just for clarification we don't have a vendor in the city that does this type of work or they're bid came in higher or historically the city had worked with another vendor which is is in the local area also but they came in as the second bid their bid was about eleven thousand more eleven thousand five hundred more significant yep and it's really sort of a good thing from the perspective of in the past we haven't really seen a lot of activity but we had quite a few downloads of the bid and then three people that did respond and staff was able to take a look at this new vendor new to us from his perspective and determined that it would be appropriate to move forward this is going to be fitout for eight vehicles eight vehicles right i know you checked out this niskayuna tire you think their capable of doing because it's pretty extensive work isn't it it is but the the vendor has received training in certain areas that regarding the installation of some of the components so what exactly are the components that are to be installed the lighting system the communication system the camera system our incar video actually requires a separate certification because we're still under warranty with that so they went out on their own to get certified to be able to install the items that we currently have inhouse we're doing the painting and the decals yes things like now i understand there's a problem with decals not appearing though no is there no problem no we've had in the past but nothing recent you've taken care of it now yeah i know there's some vehicles in the lot that were that were failing i don't know if it was the vendor or the applications i don't know yeah i mean some of the vehicles that had had some peeling and stuff are older vehicles they don't have that much of a warranty with them the decals the vendors are guaranteeing us a certain amount of time for the bid for a one hundred warranty on any of their work materials and craftsmanship so any other questions i move this second all in favor aye thank you thank you any other business before public safety i move we adjourn second all in favor aye thank you i'd like to order call to order public service and utilities first item on the agenda is the adoption of various sections of streets to be incorporated and to consolidate the local street and highway improvement program mr wong hello the item in front of you is kind of a general housekeeping item every year the new york state department of transportation sends the department of engineering our local inventory of highway and streets and we review it this year we decided to do a thorough evaluation of it and we came up with a couple of additions to the streets and some clarifications that we wanted made only added up to about a half a mile of road but we wanted this to be our it is our state official document that they use every year so we wanted to make sure it was accurate as possible the list that you have in front of you is what we found to be either changes or admissions the reason that it is in front of you today as a council is that checking our historical books and i guess what we would call chuck what were they called the legislative books prior we could not find any history of adoption of these streets and since we couldn't find any history of adoption of the streets by the council we needed to pass something that we could put with our paperwork to say that the city officially recognizes that these are city streets so we can't just have them on paper like this so that the resolution that you're in front of would be the adoption or the recognition that these particular segments of city streets are in fact owned and maintained by the city cool any questions so let's just take a look do you have the list in front of you by any chance chris no the very last one strong street so that column all the way to the left what is that and what are the other two designates at the far right what street name yeah so strong street between hewlett and summit that's what it is between those areas correct okay revised beginning and revised end very good so in some cases too the street might've been recognized but the ends were blank because the dot didn't know where it began and and began and ended we also picked up a couple of smaller alleys and roads so yeah you see it says one hundred and sixty two as there is a change in length we actually found some that they were actually had a little bit long so the total balance we ended up picking up i believe three quarters of a mile and that's what goes into the evaluation of our chips money so it's not going to change much it's just to have this as accurate so i think we said we had one hundred and seventy one miles and now would have seventeen thousand one hundred and seventy five there you go thank you any other questions i'll move i'll second all in favor aye second item on the agenda is a call for public hearing to incorporate eight hundred and ten arch street so we didn't have any backup but this is a call for public hearing and we can have more backup as we go forward but we just wanted to approach this for now for a call for public hearing eight hundred and ten arch street was taken down by the city eight hundred and ten arch street is parcel forty four on your map and it was a very odd parcel probably one of the most unique parcels in the city as it was in appeared to be in the road and it was actually in front of two houses wow so the roof line actually snow from the roof line would actually fall onto the adjacent houses sidewalks and it was a very odd situation if you were to see it if you google street view it it's a very odd situation so the house is now down so the idea is that we would like to incorporate that as part of arch street so that it now part is part of the road and that these two houses parcels forty five and forty six will be on arch street any questions i'll move it i'll second all in favor aye thank you any other business to come before public service and utilities i move we adjourn second all in favor okay thank you call to order health and recreation one item on the agenda is ceremonial resolution of the greenhouse ms parazzo so a group of volunteers have gotten together and done yeoman's work at the greenhouse under the leadership of mr soran they've done regular cleanups every thursday throughout the summer they had a plant sale in the fall proceeds going to make repairs to the greenhouse heat the greenhouse to protect the glass we did have some glass breakage last winter and i understand that they were there today and we was it thirty six panels i thought i saw thirty something yeah yeah that they either repaired or replaced or screwed in tighter you know so we're protecting our greenhouses which are very very important and again group of citizens that have gotten together on their own time to work really hard to protect an important part of the city so i would just like to have that recognized i'll move it second second i'll second okay all in favor okay okay anything else to come before health and recreation if not entertain the motion to adjourn adjourn second all those in favor aye we're
