good three nineteen state street to assume resolution twelve o five in the suze or what if the time was not a no but has been subsequently the mexican radio in their there was a subsequent fire he is responsible for the demolition of the property the expenses with that however he hired a contractor and we ended up using a different contractor right well saint thirty nine thousand five hundred where the repayment for the demolition and expenses of twenty thousand were the balance of payment for the demolition and thirty six thousand which is leading the sale of nineteen unlike other material that we correct if the price is high it disappears off the street before we get there to collect it if the price is low or negative in value it's there for us to quote so we get the worst this was from october fifteenth to see if this is about a average week where we picked up about six thousand two hundred eighty two pound bass which totaled eighteen computer monitors one hundred into television should about twelve thousand seven hundred fifty dollars a year so your operating expenses for labor benefits in the operating cost for a piece of equipment is about ninety thousand dollars year to pick up both of those commodities of past six years and there's a lot of reasons for that primarily it's because of the gradual reductions in our largest operating room to get larger supporters thinks they still are big supporters of the france or sixty nine dollars to two thousand and ten but at the same time it was important for our board to show that we were showing other sources of revenue before we went to anything to do with the assessment so since twenty ten expenses much more efficient so we've cut our overall program expenses ok almost fifty percent since two thousand and ten which is about ninety thousand dollars that we do through a variety of means going to people so it's been a sort of this year on a whole bunch of topics everything from marketing to energy efficiency things that help businesses help themselves we've implemented new communications a whole brand new newsletter that goes just to our businesses once a on how they can leverage of events going down here for their benefit you know different links to different articles and things that they could really work on social because we do have a lot of small businesses that obviously don't have marketing the grants or the things that would be needed or necessary to really encourage them but what we can do is get a conduit to get them to the places that they need to go so talking with metroplex talking with their businesses talking with  focus on retail maybe felt it was more important for us to be able to focus on things that we were good at that we had the resources to do you know i've spoken to a lot of downtown organisations i have you know two three full time staff people that are trained to work at retail it's difficult i mean if we see somebody to come so who is interested in opening up in downtown we will sit and talk to them we will get a sense of what they're interested in that will direct them where they need to go if there's to do retail sit ups so we could provide incentives to people to come in really just know finances and build look in our prison structure to be able to offer incentives to anybody it is someone who has a thing for us is that we focus on doing what's with our resources what we do well and then grow that as much as we possibly can in our work plan for this year we've expanded what we want to do with business development of there quite honestly you know working closely with metroplex as we do they want to get involved and they want to kind of continue to have a direct role in the the growth in the shape of the direction of the district and they feel what we're doing adds a lot because it's important to that's being a district just for downtown it's certainly something that we want to do we do it for the motions as well and you know we don't throw it we're going to put our heart and resources into an event dollars worth of additional revenues for downtown specifically for building renovations he said that's not a large part of your income that any type of grant revenue other than metroplex correct ok workshops there we sat down to support decided what the priorities were for thirteen and we actually sat around at lunch and worked through the budget and looked at everything and we are there's a lot of realities that we that we faced with this again i don't have to go have that kind of support what we're proposing here the goal of the new market will essentially be assessed against the largest property owners not against the mom and pop folks  clean none of them will see an increase whatsoever at most of the seventy i think my purse i have a little building downtown i think mine is going up seventeen dollars or something like twenty eight dollars we look at whatever it was before voted on it i wanted to know what it did to me personally and it's a very modest amount for my building which is in the in the heart of downtown so it's it will almost definitely on the and and i have spoken to people in that circumstance and they're supportive of what we're doing and they show up at our big our big event and so i think they believe that metroparks the property owners would be very someone has in hands could be brought into the five percent somebody that has forty five percent could drop into the fifty so it's a schedule that we go by and it depends i mean some of them could  mom let me say forty percent but even though they're giving me what they're giving me they still could remain in the forty percent because there's a range for each one of the percentages i'm just trying to and you know a hundred deaths something like that they get removed if they seldom get removed but then you have or there are people that are going to be reaching the age sixty five it's constantly changing and know how they could try  i don't know i just i mean i think i think it's i understand mr eriksson's concerns and certainly i have been used in terms of exemptions but i think this is something that we that we should be doing and i'm sorry that we haven't done it soon enough as we said mentioned gender is something that continues to remain in limbo in your state legislature and when i came onto the commission one of the issues that i brought to the table was janice specifically and i would extend the basic human rights law to include or transgender brothers and sisters under the protected class just as a decade ago as sexual orientation was added to the human rights law so folks could not be discriminated against in housing public accommodations or health care or housing because of their sexual orientation perceived or actual and for transgender brothers and sisters somebody who identifies or presents expresses a gender offices and what they were assigned to at the can be discriminated against in new york state and unfortunately the city and or their county of schenectady does not have its own human rights on the west wall so as the new york state human rights watch reads we are subject to that  so the request the best that we can do here in the city of schenectady which is quite excellent is passed hopefully considering pass a resolution of support for janet and encourage our local legislators to sta expression nondiscrimination act and we would extend the human rights laws to include gender identity and expression
