energy that they don't need in the first place but we have not been happy in new york state and there are three major reasons why the first is that there are so many energy incentive programs that it's incredibly confusing and it's very easy to get make the building stock affordable we can lower the energy cost it becomes a lot more attractive to potential buyers and protect boyer's for existing building owners that are in their buildings and struggling with running a business have an existing budget for energy upgrades you don't have any money that aside so that's especially important for business owners that are struggling nonprofits that have expenses needing heating system are having an emergency and they now need money to program we can finance out to twenty years and most banks right now are only financing to a maximum of eight years if you're lucky and have a good relationship and the reason that's important is because that defines the type of upturns you can do so the finance charge will automatically transferred to the new owner as well the same as the bank that's right so it also changes the way people are thinking about how to pay off these rates and then lastly of course are very closely aligned with the community customers so in this solar project the net amount of the cost was one hundred sixty four thousand dollars after all the incentives they received their final cost was seventy one thousand so we finance one hundred percent of it out and worst five nineteen i hypothetically if we were to do one million dollars the financing is in the first year it's going to create that would be like ninety eight thousand dollars up including the panel to use you would recapture lost those three years of payments would actually make twelve thousand dollars for one thing i would like to just say anecdotally is wasn't much in there and it did get shifted to that marketing person whose name rate is higher than the executive director probably they are aware of that but that's what the shift back you balance it out and you still end up spending between the city along with its financial advisor monitors the market it relative to the outstanding long term debt and currently still if you get the market holds we probably could get into the market and close this sometime in mid right now the market looks like we can start probably around somewhere around two percent and some of the longer terms of the middle middle of the current might be around five hundred for the debt would be at the lower lower percentage than it is right now said we will work together with or minus advisor by council two to put the deal together but we'll be monitoring the market so if there's any move one way or the other one we agree with the other way maybe not so much it may need to be that this doesn't come to fruition but  smoking rate among high school or middle schoolers and and that's the good news on why despite all of the congress which i think a lot of people are very familiar with there have been really persistent basically delivering a good team and what we've learned is that right now there are more high school students in new york state who use electronic you can see delivery systems than there are young people who use traditional same probably in the news in terms of the hug regulations that were just please and taking that sort of but now tional that that's also a significant part of our initiative to try to address asthma and community based organizations and also creating making their grounds tobacco free on all of the colleges in the reader half of the district area except for you all the and here in schenectady union have also made their campuses on really strengthens i think the kinds of benefits that are to be gained through tobacco free policies there are one thing is that that communicating a message secondhand smoke it also creates a release a supportive environment for people who have quit using tobacco or they choose to put it on and don't necessarily then have to be tempted  by you know who's taking a break you know outside the entryway to the building those kinds of things can make a real difference in creating a supportive environment for people who have it or want to lower maintenance costs when i walked up the steps that that looks at schenectady county in particular and the fact that this isn't just a popular kind of policies for nonsmokers that smokers themselves are meeting changes in in their own choices about where and when they free despite the fact that they themselves continue to use food and all of the initiatives that we do help to change the social norm and i think all of you are aware of the power of them that policies can ultimately help change individual behaviors so whether you like it see notes or do you live with weary bicycle helmets when i was growing up in the sixty's and littering was you know like a daily thing that we did we didn't think twice about  kinds of support that are available to local businesses as well as municipalities in considering on making policy for tobacco free grounds are considerable  we not only our agency not only offers a significant amount of assistance in terms of the implementation of that we also provide tangible resources in terms of  because of the increase in use of those in combination with traditional tobacco so we have a lot of practical experience in providing that assistance but we also have access to the public health policy center which is funded by the state of new york to provide specific assistance to municipalities in developing any kind of tobacco control policy they are services are also available at no cost it's a team of lawyers who really specializes in this and any kind of policy that you may be considering relating to back up the tobacco control strongly encourage you to connect with them to avoid the pitfalls that can sometimes come with these kinds of policies and to benefit from their experience and expertise as well in your package i included a workplace guide that gives you a flavor he has an enormous amount of resources that they will leverage for is a similar kind of i've heard in terms of increasing people's access to decision house and helping with communicating about cessation options and  succeed what i want to share and i know that often there are a lot of questions about enforcement and our you know how do we you know make this work and how had a wedding shower bridal and baby shower many birthday parties family reunions and every single rental they were very pleased with the facility and everybody said next year they're going to talk  spread the word for comeback which is great so we anticipate even a better year next year we raised on nine hundred fifty in funding this year there's also if you have suggestions of what's really needed one thing that we really need issue with something in the vents that have to be looked at for the structural integrity but we sort of temporarily fixed it but that has to be looked at overall everything went very very well as did the other part programs this summer they all had record breaking numbers especially hill first which one of the over two hundred we added saturday swim to the hill first program which was great quackenbush as you can see over nine hundred reserves so the park programs were the three what we asked for the rental activity that really i mean i used the template from central park but they've never really been i think they looked over but nobody has ever made any changes committee as a parts committee if there's anything that you want to change for next year and there was rental agreement forms let me know and we'll certainly change them but the work and we've done we have a separate line for all our and we do it and what i do is i use the rental agreement form as the receipt either for their first line i make them a copy and we submit to forms to the city you know one we keep attach it to the  of this this report and let me say it is to september because the october report and i don't get it until november fifteenth you understand that is why you're seeing the september  these are the projects that the c d c currently are reimbursing the contractors for you have asked that i add the completion date whether the program missing from leaders or not it's on there  some have been completed and i'm still waiting for final payments and others will be completed until the end of the year so that means you won't see any payments when i when i come before you i'll be back on before you in february  that see you may still see that there is a payment outstanding because it ends in jan in december or january i expect them to give me their final report in this meeting that happened so there's always an issue of their what it might be an  e like oh we're doing our very best to make sure that these are documented within fifteen days of completion of the project upstate new york
