Everything has been signed to Albany and they are at cutting us a check. So that's been taken care of. 81 00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:04.200 Richard Fortunato: The new rental agreement. 82 00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:20.160 Richard Fortunato: That the tenant has paid May, June, July, and August. But I want in the minutes that he didn't pay April and I want everybody to know that I am making a phone call to him on a monthly basis to collect the rent upstairs. 83 00:12:20.760 --> 00:12:21.840 18456426153: So, I mean, 84 00:12:21.900 --> 00:12:38.610 Richard Fortunato: I'm not a collection agent. So, you know, from my perspective, the guy who does the lease lease and, you know, we're still not paying at a normal rate, I don't know, it's just not. It's not the way I do business. I'm getting frustrated with him. 85 00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:39.660 18456426153: So, 86 00:12:39.750 --> 00:12:40.260 I mean, 87 00:12:41.310 --> 00:12:44.040 Richard Fortunato: Can if you want to give him a little tickle. That would be great. 88 00:12:44.790 --> 00:12:46.050 Karen Tarapata: We want to know. 89 00:12:46.770 --> 00:12:53.100 Karen Tarapata: It was, you know, they agreed to pay the regular read through the end of May. 90 00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:54.570 Karen Tarapata: And he just 91 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.220 Karen Tarapata: Didn't pay one of the months. 92 00:12:56.400 --> 00:12:57.180 Karen Tarapata: Well, so 93 00:12:57.900 --> 00:13:11.760 Richard Fortunato: The month prior, you know, there was a snafu with Chase Bank for him it. There's always something you know that this isn't normal operating. You know, it's not so I'm getting a little frustrated with him, as I think you can tell. So if someone can break 94 00:13:11.850 --> 00:13:14.730 Karen Tarapata: I'll talk, I'll make the call before the end of the month. 95 00:13:14.730 --> 00:13:16.290 18456426153: Because he's not calling you back. 96 00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:20.340 Richard Fortunato: It's three phone calls. He told me he called me Monday, I mean it's it's frustrating. 97 00:13:20.370 --> 00:13:27.270 Richard Fortunato: You know, is the rent is is always 30 days behind, it's just, it's not again. It's not something I'm used to. 98 00:13:28.650 --> 00:13:29.430 Ken Rothchild: KAREN I think 99 00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:33.960 Ken Rothchild: I think that having the treasurer be the collection agent is rich say is nice. 100 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.840 Richard Fortunato: Can I have no problem. I just expect to be called back you know 101 00:13:37.470 --> 00:13:38.610 Ken Rothchild: But it's not your job. 102 00:13:38.640 --> 00:13:49.470 Richard Fortunato: That's it's it's really not yours either right because you guys are volunteers, but I just want to impress upon all you really what's going on here with him because if I call him. I expect a phone call back 103 00:13:49.530 --> 00:13:50.850 Richard Fortunato: If I you know I'm 104 00:13:51.090 --> 00:13:58.980 Richard Fortunato: You know, this is not normal. I have 100 small business clients. So I know what he's dealing with with Kobe. And what is subtenant. I get it. 105 00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:00.390 18456426153: But this is not normal. 106 00:14:00.450 --> 00:14:02.160 Richard Fortunato: This is not normal behavior. 107 00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:03.330 18456426153: So maybe 108 00:14:03.540 --> 00:14:08.310 Ken Rothchild: So Karen maybe what we need to institute is what I have in our property management business which is 109 00:14:08.910 --> 00:14:12.510 Ken Rothchild: You know, five day grace period of praying. He gets a letter. 110 00:14:12.870 --> 00:14:16.770 Ken Rothchild: Right after 10 days he gets a letter saying is in violation, obviously. 111 00:14:17.940 --> 00:14:23.820 Ken Rothchild: We're not. We're not permitted to evict well we don't have that built into the lease, unfortunately. 112 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:25.260 Richard Fortunato: Now, we don't know. We 113 00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:29.610 Karen Tarapata: Don't want we want. We just want them to pay on time here. 114 00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:34.440 Karen Tarapata: And we'll just but I agree with you that five day grace period. 115 00:14:35.130 --> 00:14:36.450 Karen Tarapata: That is fun. 116 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.320 Karen Tarapata: That's normal. 117 00:14:37.380 --> 00:14:37.950 18456426153: That's normal. 118 00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:39.150 Karen Tarapata: And so, yeah, that's 119 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:40.800 Richard Fortunato: What Karen. 120 00:14:40.860 --> 00:14:41.820 Richard Fortunato: I think 10 121 00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:45.960 Richard Fortunato: As long as he pays by the time I'm on the on the meeting with you. 122 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:46.530 Karen Tarapata: Then 123 00:14:46.710 --> 00:14:59.010 Richard Fortunato: You know what, it got in note right i mean even a 10 day grace period I am extremely reasonable person. This guy is nowhere near staying in balance here, nowhere near and it's been months of this 124 00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:01.260 Richard Fortunato: Even before coven so 125 00:15:01.590 --> 00:15:02.310 18456426153: We're up but 126 00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:05.670 Karen Tarapata: On the other hand, we do have a tenant. 127 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:13.140 Karen Tarapata: And we do have all of our background up to except for one month we'll make it work. 128 00:15:13.260 --> 00:15:16.110 Richard Fortunato: Well me okay okay um 129 00:15:16.170 --> 00:15:16.740 Richard Fortunato: The audience. 130 00:15:17.190 --> 00:15:19.140 Karen Tarapata: You recorded and we're done. 131 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:23.130 Richard Fortunato: That's why I wanted on their camera and that's why I'm doing it because I'm really, I'm sick of 132 00:15:25.530 --> 00:15:26.850 Karen Tarapata: shaming here to okay 133 00:15:26.970 --> 00:15:31.920 Richard Fortunato: Yeah, there was this part of that, if I can do more, I would you share the message I left them today. Okay. 134 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.840 Richard Fortunato: year and the year end on it is scheduled 135 00:15:37.140 --> 00:15:41.010 Richard Fortunato: The auditors are going to do one day in the office because of our office restrictions. 136 00:15:41.430 --> 00:15:51.750 Richard Fortunato: I'm going to mail them the IUD. I didn't finish it yet. I'm going to mail them all that first I'm going to mail them a year and information. It's going to be one day. End of sep tember worst case early October. 137 00:15:52.080 --> 00:16:09.630 Richard Fortunato: I'm on top of that, it'll be done and you guys will have financial statements at the end of October with respect to the year and the year end is not complete yet we're waiting on the town of carbs town and a number from them. They owe us their last year's 138 00:16:11.070 --> 00:16:17.220 Richard Fortunato: Bulk reimbursement. They haven't sent us a check. Yet in number to finish the errands. I'm waiting on one number to finish. So I don't have 139 00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:17.760 18456426153: That for you. 140 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:27.690 Richard Fortunato: But I can tell you that the surplus will exceed 1.2 million, it will be 1.2 million and change. 141 00:16:29.070 --> 00:16:41.460 Richard Fortunato: a smidge that's an accounting term as much part so 1.2 million will be over plus the $600,000 capital improvements. So we are, we were pretty good last year. I mean, we didn't spend what we collected 142 00:16:42.210 --> 00:16:51.990 Richard Fortunato: On everything we were going to supposed to spend it on. But I think on all we spend, but we collected so it was a good year wasn't wasn't so bad. I will tell you, going forward, two things. 143 00:16:51.990 --> 00:16:58.170 Richard Fortunato: First sales tax revenue from the state is down a lot. And that's going to cut eight or 10 grand off of our 144 00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:01.020 Richard Fortunato: Of our intake for the new year. 145 00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:16.320 Richard Fortunato: And I will tell you to that over time as a lot, which I get it. And I know we want to spend money. And over time, rather than hiring other people because it's more expensive but we just need to be, you know, you guys need to be aware of that. But the overtime is is up, consider 146 00:17:16.710 --> 00:17:19.080 Karen Tarapata: Outrageous last month, but we had both 147 00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:21.510 Richard Fortunato: Yeah yeah storm, you had to pick up. Yeah. 148 00:17:22.770 --> 00:17:23.010 Richard Fortunato: Yeah. 149 00:17:23.970 --> 00:17:26.970 Karen Tarapata: Let's just if that was unfortunate and so 150 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:37.380 Richard Fortunato: That worked out.

That's the word 303 00:30:32.670 --> 00:30:33.060 Karen Tarapata: And that would 304 00:30:33.090 --> 00:30:45.750 Karen Tarapata: Be landscape or today and I spoke with the landscape architect yesterday, and we were thinking that the I a really great place to do that. 305 00:30:47.070 --> 00:31:00.300 Karen Tarapata: Screening trench actually for those plants would be down by the little of stone building on the main meadow down by that is how she said for first project that would be more visible and 306 00:31:01.650 --> 00:31:06.060 Karen Tarapata: Would be a great place to begin to put more attractive shrubs. 307 00:31:06.930 --> 00:31:08.940 18456426153: So because of 308 00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:13.560 Karen Tarapata: That I going to recommend that we take her recommendation. 309 00:31:14.220 --> 00:31:14.880 18456426153: And 310 00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:18.570 Karen Tarapata: Put the trench in that area. 311 00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:27.390 Karen Tarapata: Instead of in that area by because we're not really plan. We haven't got a good enough plan yet. 312 00:31:28.050 --> 00:31:29.100 Karen Tarapata: But those are really the 313 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:34.350 Karen Tarapata: gifts that are being offered to the village by the Friends of river but 314 00:31:36.510 --> 00:31:37.800 18456426153: Really have to do 315 00:31:37.830 --> 00:31:38.640 Is 316 00:31:40.350 --> 00:31:48.030 Karen Tarapata: Make a resolution to accept these projects. Now I'd like to open this up to any questions or concerns from the 317 00:31:49.080 --> 00:31:50.310 Karen Tarapata: From the trustees. 318 00:31:54.690 --> 00:31:55.410 18456426153: So Carol. 319 00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:56.610 Ken Rothchild: I'm sorry, Karen. 320 00:31:59.430 --> 00:32:02.250 Ken Rothchild: So, there seemed to be a lot of moving parts here to me. 321 00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:09.690 Ken Rothchild: So amongst the things that we table that our last discussion was 322 00:32:10.710 --> 00:32:13.830 Ken Rothchild: The landscape architect who's Carol Huber right 323 00:32:15.030 --> 00:32:22.980 Ken Rothchild: Now, what's so we do, we have a formal relationship. Don't we need to have a resolution about that at some point or wasn't been appointed 324 00:32:23.280 --> 00:32:29.220 Karen Tarapata: Right, because she's been working under what was a separate contract for the 325 00:32:31.230 --> 00:32:33.180 Karen Tarapata: For the metal restoration 326 00:32:34.620 --> 00:32:36.840 Karen Tarapata: So yes, it would be good to have a 327 00:32:37.890 --> 00:32:45.420 Karen Tarapata: Separate resolution for our formalizing our relationship with her as a her project contractor. 328 00:32:46.560 --> 00:32:59.280 Ken Rothchild: And. And then the other thing is that we've had a chance to look at, which is up for discussion later on the river hook website and the various plans. So, you know, without having 329 00:33:00.690 --> 00:33:11.370 Ken Rothchild: A sense of what those plans are in terms of, you know, I mean, we've seen them because we've been asked to look at the website, but we haven't been asked to look at the plans themselves. 330 00:33:12.060 --> 00:33:23.880 Ken Rothchild: that I'm aware of. So I'm, I'm, I'm wondering, to some extent, if are we putting a lot of cards before the horse. You know, I, you know, and I understand things are moving fast but 331 00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:32.970 Ken Rothchild: Um, you know, it sounds like you're asking us to approve things that we haven't had a chance to even look at even if I guess. 332 00:33:33.540 --> 00:33:34.140 18456426153: I would 333 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:36.450 Karen Tarapata: Say that this was 334 00:33:36.870 --> 00:33:48.660 Karen Tarapata: An opportunity is that that circle by the House is something that none of these things that see none of these things are new projects. That's the only thing I would say none of them are 335 00:33:49.140 --> 00:34:12.990 Karen Tarapata: Really new or decisive, they're not earthworks or anything that's going to really change anything. It's more of a remediation and in terms of removing the vines from the house that's actually something that will protect that slate move from degeneration. 336 00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:16.080 Alison: So when I add in crayon in just 337 00:34:17.580 --> 00:34:19.200 Alison: Hi, I'm Allison BROTHER. I'M ON 338 00:34:19.680 --> 00:34:22.230 Alison: The Board of river hook friends and 339 00:34:22.680 --> 00:34:23.130 Also 340 00:34:24.390 --> 00:34:31.410 Alison: There's a real I believe there's a real liability with some of these trees are included in that project because they are big one is 341 00:34:32.250 --> 00:34:38.130 Alison: cowering, it's a triple trunk tree that's leaning away from away from the walk. 342 00:34:39.120 --> 00:34:54.690 Alison: But it's if it goes over its food system will pull up and and damage badly, the walkway that's there. Now the path that's there and there's another tree has been taken down the one that was like it that they seriously damage bad tree by the entrance curves. 343 00:34:55.860 --> 00:35:03.090 Alison: That's not been taken down either. So, you know, there's a real village liability here. I think that we're helping trying to address as well. 344 00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:13.500 Karen Tarapata: So perhaps, perhaps what we need to do. Ken is a, I would like to propose that we accept Steve's offer of excavating 345 00:35:14.190 --> 00:35:16.680 Karen Tarapata: The circle because that's something that he is 346 00:35:16.680 --> 00:35:20.880 Karen Tarapata: Prepared to do right away. It's something where he has the excavator on another project. 347 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.170 Karen Tarapata: We can actually table. The other things. 348 00:35:25.170 --> 00:35:27.000 Karen Tarapata: And postpone them to the next. 349 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.460 Karen Tarapata: Meeting. That's really the only one that I 350 00:35:29.490 --> 00:35:31.260 18456426153: Think is something that needs to be 351 00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:31.770 Done. 352 00:35:33.030 --> 00:35:36.330 18456426153: Right away because they're ready. They're, they're ready to move as 353 00:35:36.330 --> 00:35:37.530 18456426153: Soon as we 354 00:35:38.130 --> 00:35:39.450 18456426153: give our approval. 355 00:35:40.770 --> 00:35:41.490 Ken Rothchild: To sit so 356 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:42.630 18456426153: So, 357 00:35:42.810 --> 00:35:48.330 Ken Rothchild: So the first thing is so steep lubec is going to be working on a village project instead of my floors, like we asked him. 358 00:35:48.330 --> 00:35:49.380 Ken Rothchild: To just 359 00:35:51.150 --> 00:35:52.230 Karen Tarapata: Because excavator 360 00:35:52.650 --> 00:35:54.060 Ken Rothchild: Isn't it yeah yeah 361 00:35:54.150 --> 00:35:57.750 Ken Rothchild: Yeah, okay. Steve, thanks. We'll, we'll talk to you in the morning. 362 00:35:57.990 --> 00:36:01.560 Ken Rothchild: So no part is really not about the necessity. These work or 363 00:36:01.560 --> 00:36:03.600 Ken Rothchild: The danger the trees or liability. It's 364 00:36:03.660 --> 00:36:04.980 Ken Rothchild: It's, I have no 365 00:36:06.330 --> 00:36:07.890 Ken Rothchild: The, the issue is 366 00:36:09.450 --> 00:36:11.520 Ken Rothchild: The I think the grander issue is 367 00:36:12.150 --> 00:36:26.460 Ken Rothchild: How are these decisions being arrived at. And if it, if it's basically to say, look, the board is sort of out of these day to day decisions and someone else's making them then then I'd like to know who that is, and how they're arriving at these 368 00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:30.480 Ken Rothchild: Decisions. I don't usually when we have problems with 369 00:36:30.690 --> 00:36:33.720 Ken Rothchild: trees that are liabilities and and you know, Allison, I 370 00:36:34.230 --> 00:36:43.800 Ken Rothchild: I'm not questioning that they are. I'm just saying that usually there's something that comes before us. It says, These trees are a liability need to come down and we approve that 371 00:36:43.830 --> 00:36:47.100 Ken Rothchild: So there's there's significant portions of work. 372 00:36:47.100 --> 00:36:49.410 Ken Rothchild: Here, regardless of whether it's needed. 373 00:36:49.470 --> 00:36:55.200 Ken Rothchild: Whether it protects things and decisions are being made about it and on some levels. 374 00:36:55.920 --> 00:37:00.210 Ken Rothchild: We, as the trust. These are the caretakers at the moment of this piece of property. 375 00:37:00.510 --> 00:37:05.220 Ken Rothchild: And decisions about it are being made by people who are not us. And I'm not 376 00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:06.690 Ken Rothchild: And I'm not 377 00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:10.920 Ken Rothchild: And I'm not questioning their good decisions. I'm just saying I'm questioning 378 00:37:11.340 --> 00:37:21.420 Ken Rothchild: What's the process going forward, because at some point, there may be a decision that's a bad decision and some will say, well, you didn't bother to make decisions on this other stuff. So why are you bothering us now. 379 00:37:23.670 --> 00:37:29.790 Laurie Dodge: What I would like to say is the reason we set up the Friends of river hook board to include 380 00:37:30.210 --> 00:37:44.700 Laurie Dodge: A village trustee on the board, so that there would be some continuity between the Village Board and the Friends of river hook board. So currently, Karen and I both sit on that board. So the work that is being offered 381 00:37:46.680 --> 00:38:06.360 Laurie Dodge: At this moment, particularly with those Sullivan n Steve And, honestly, even the trench to Karen's point. None of it. Some of it is we think is a necessity in a safety issue. None of it is, and none of it is in congress with the future design work. What will be getting from 382 00:38:06.390 --> 00:38:07.410 18456426153: Public Record. 383 00:38:08.550 --> 00:38:14.970 Laurie Dodge: Which is the the firm that we commissioned to sort of do an overall design vision for the property. 384 00:38:15.390 --> 00:38:25.530 Laurie Dodge: Is just that it's a design vision. So there will be clearly subsequent conversations in the future when that gets built out, but none of these projects. 385 00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:49.620 Laurie Dodge: Are in congruence with anything, no matter what happens on site. I mean, the tree, you know, the vines are an issue. The, the circle is just unsightly and could be a very easy place to have something sort of show intentional life whether again it's a sculpture. 386 00:38:53.580 --> 00:39:00.060 Laurie Dodge: Or plantings. And I think, you know, as with what's happening, you know, with the side of the barn. 387 00:39:00.210 --> 00:39:01.500 Laurie Dodge: Some of the 388 00:39:01.530 --> 00:39:09.060 Laurie Dodge: Things that we're trying to solve for our results of debt damage that was 389 00:39:09.510 --> 00:39:20.070 Laurie Dodge: We had no idea what's going to happen. So whether it's, you know, removing a tent, I think, actually, they were both the result of removing tanks and someone doing it not carefully so it's trying to 390 00:39:20.370 --> 00:39:32.280 Laurie Dodge: It's really trying to maybe in some ways, get back to what the property would have been like if it had been better care for and or if there have been more care taken when things were removed, is that the second 391 00:39:32.370 --> 00:39:38.280 Karen Tarapata: Probably more than just a second here. I'm just going to say, I realized that I, isn't it. 392 00:39:40.110 --> 00:39:52.530 Karen Tarapata: Right, we're gonna have to do jump out of this and then jump back into this with more more discussion because I agree that this should be something that is well considered 393 00:39:53.400 --> 00:40:07.110 Karen Tarapata: Because that's, you know, I said that since the beginning, we need a plan. We need a plan. We need a plan, everything's got to be pointing to the plan, and we have not finalized the plan yet. And some of this has gotten a little bit ahead. 394 00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:20.520 Karen Tarapata: But we'll come back to this in a few minutes. So Cara. Would you read the notice for the public hearing and one, then we'll do the other business and then come back to this and have a more complete discussion. 395 00:40:34.470 --> 00:40:42.150 18456426153: Notice of public hearing village of upper Nyack 328 North Broadway for Nyack New York 1096 so 396 00:40:43.230 --> 00:40:51.270 18456426153: Please take notice that the Board of Trustees and the village of upper Nyack will hold a public hearing on August 20 2020 397 00:40:51.840 --> 00:41:01.800 18456426153: At 7:30pm to consider an extension of the temporary moratorium on commercial or residential land use applications. 398 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:15.090 18456426153: For properties located in the office business OB district laboratory office, Elmo district and the are for residential districts that have been denied W quarter in the village. 399 00:41:15.660 --> 00:41:27.240 18456426153: And review an amendment of the comprehensive plan update and related zoning laws pertaining to said subject matters. This law will also be known as local law number 420 20 400 00:41:28.200 --> 00:41:37.590 18456426153: Due to the coven 19 emergency village of upper night Board of Trustee will not be meeting in person in accordance with the governor's executive order. 401 00:41:38.130 --> 00:41:46.320 18456426153: 202 point one.

We've been working very diligently to answer all the 52 comments of Robin County. 415 00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:07.050 Planning. 416 00:43:08.250 --> 00:43:22.140 Karen Tarapata: And I think we're very close rate of just wrapping up our revisions based on their questions and concerns, you still have some maps to update and then that comprehensive plan, go back to 417 00:43:23.190 --> 00:43:30.840 Karen Tarapata: Rough and County Planning again. But this is an important thing to keep us in control of any applications. 418 00:43:32.370 --> 00:43:37.620 Karen Tarapata: Between now and the time that we finish the comprehensive plan and the related zoning. 419 00:43:39.420 --> 00:43:42.660 Karen Tarapata: Would, would anyone like to speak on this topic. 420 00:43:44.310 --> 00:43:45.390 On this extension. 421 00:43:52.020 --> 00:43:58.800 Karen Tarapata: Okay, well, if we would any of the, I would like to close the public hearing and then the trustees can comment. 422 00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:01.830 Karen Tarapata: That someone made 423 00:44:02.490 --> 00:44:05.310 michael esmay: Like I'll make a motion to close the public hearing 424 00:44:05.820 --> 00:44:07.110 Ken Rothchild: This can I second. 425 00:44:09.270 --> 00:44:10.470 Karen Tarapata: in favor, say aye. 426 00:44:11.910 --> 00:44:12.750 Laurie Dodge: Aye.

What do you think about 431 00:44:26.490 --> 00:44:36.090 Karen Tarapata: The extension of this temporary moratorium. I mean, people who do have legitimate business concerns can come to us for relief, but does anyone have any 432 00:44:37.170 --> 00:44:38.910 michael esmay: Have you yeah 433 00:44:40.140 --> 00:44:40.320 You 434 00:44:42.330 --> 00:44:50.640 michael esmay: Just have one question, small, but is this a new local law or is it a extension of it. 435 00:44:52.020 --> 00:44:57.510 michael esmay: It says local law number four 2020. I'm just wondering, it 436 00:44:57.750 --> 00:45:00.660 michael esmay: Each time we do this. Is it is it is it another law. 437 00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:04.200 Karen Tarapata: I believe it's a new yeah 438 00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:06.240 18456426153: It gets a new number this is 439 00:45:07.470 --> 00:45:16.410 18456426153: This is extending what I think this is the third time he's extended this maybe the second, but each time you do the law. 440 00:45:17.580 --> 00:45:22.440 18456426153: It's the number.

So then that suggests that if we were to proceed in that fashion. 573 01:01:46.380 --> 01:01:57.780 Ken Rothchild: We would not pass this moratorium this new law, the moratorium expires, I assume. As of this meeting. And so then 574 01:01:58.830 --> 01:02:02.370 Ken Rothchild: People who wanted to put permits in would be able to do such a thing. 575 01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:06.690 Ken Rothchild: Is that, is that a correct understanding of what might happen. 576 01:02:09.390 --> 01:02:21.900 Noelle Wolfson: loss due to expire September, the third although to recirculate to Rockland County Planning.

And yeah. 597 01:04:23.970 --> 01:04:35.160 Karen Tarapata: So I would ask that someone make a motion that we extend this temporary moratorium and enact local law number five of 2020 598 01:04:40.950 --> 01:04:42.570 michael esmay: Emotion like 599 01:04:43.830 --> 01:04:44.970 Karen Tarapata: Can I get a second 600 01:04:46.380 --> 01:04:46.710 Laurie Dodge: Or 601 01:04:48.870 --> 01:04:52.110 Karen Tarapata: All right.

I'm in favor of the gift as best I know of it by concern and it's only a concern, not an objection is that the first 622 01:06:48.960 --> 01:07:04.710 Ken Rothchild: The other three at least this particular trustee. But perhaps the other three trustees are hearing of these, the nature of these gifts is at this meeting in the midst of the meeting as opposed to some prior notification of what's being offered 623 01:07:06.090 --> 01:07:14.160 Ken Rothchild: You've sort of in a way inadvertently suggested a mechanism whereby this wouldn't occur again, which is since you and Lori are both on the board. 624 01:07:14.670 --> 01:07:39.660 Ken Rothchild: Of river hook that you would prior to village trustee meetings provide us with our report on activities that would require us to approve or disapprove of and I just wish to state strongly my feeling that that should be formally understood and formally affected on future occasions. 625 01:07:40.710 --> 01:07:43.050 Karen Tarapata: I would agree. I think that's really important. 626 01:07:43.170 --> 01:07:43.650 Karen Tarapata: This 627 01:07:44.100 --> 01:07:53.940 Karen Tarapata: Particularly Steve's gift came up very rapidly, and that one was a bit of a stunner but on the other hand, it's something that 628 01:07:55.170 --> 01:08:00.240 Karen Tarapata: Allows us to proceed with something that we would wish to do and not be able to do otherwise. 629 01:08:00.600 --> 01:08:02.340 Karen Tarapata: I mean, I think the idea of 630 01:08:02.430 --> 01:08:07.200 Karen Tarapata: Living a report to the village Trump things is a great idea. 631 01:08:07.770 --> 01:08:08.040 Karen Tarapata: Yeah. 632 01:08:08.070 --> 01:08:20.310 Ken Rothchild: I mean, we got the we got the Treasurer's Report. Today, so it's not as if it has to be a week from before. Right. It just, it's nice to not show up at the meeting and be asked to accept something that we have no knowledge. 633 01:08:20.310 --> 01:08:20.580 18456426153: About 634 01:08:21.060 --> 01:08:25.500 Karen Tarapata: I agree, and I don't want and I feel bad. I feel like we've sort of blindsided you in a way 635 01:08:26.160 --> 01:08:28.230 18456426153: I totally agree with 636 01:08:28.230 --> 01:08:32.790 Karen Tarapata: That I think that's something we have to do going forward for, for sure. 637 01:08:33.810 --> 01:08:35.910 Karen Tarapata: Also the fact that 638 01:08:36.540 --> 01:08:38.280 18456426153: We just sort of said discussion. 639 01:08:38.310 --> 01:08:41.190 Karen Tarapata: Of the website. This is the very, very 640 01:08:41.220 --> 01:08:42.480 Karen Tarapata: Beginning of the beginning 641 01:08:42.480 --> 01:08:42.960 18456426153: With this 642 01:08:43.170 --> 01:08:44.580 Karen Tarapata: Project in that 643 01:08:44.850 --> 01:08:50.370 Karen Tarapata: There'll be a presentation of the of the vision statement that 644 01:08:51.060 --> 01:08:52.200 Karen Tarapata: Friends of river hook has 645 01:08:52.200 --> 01:08:52.710 Been 646 01:08:53.790 --> 01:09:01.860 Karen Tarapata: Putting together. But we wanted to just have you see the very beginnings of it, these, these gifts. Unfortunately episode of hijack 647 01:09:01.950 --> 01:09:03.750 Karen Tarapata: That but the 648 01:09:04.320 --> 01:09:05.550 Karen Tarapata: Actual overall 649 01:09:06.510 --> 01:09:08.790 18456426153: Schematic or overall program for 650 01:09:08.850 --> 01:09:11.790 Karen Tarapata: Property I think will be something that will be 651 01:09:11.790 --> 01:09:15.420 Karen Tarapata: Presented to the board and then presented to 652 01:09:15.870 --> 01:09:17.430 Karen Tarapata: The village for comment. 653 01:09:18.120 --> 01:09:19.830 18456426153: several steps involved. 654 01:09:19.860 --> 01:09:26.130 Karen Tarapata: In sort of adopting of an approach to future development of the preserve 655 01:09:27.150 --> 01:09:28.860 Karen Tarapata: I think that's also why these 656 01:09:28.950 --> 01:09:30.330 Karen Tarapata: These particular gifts didn't 657 01:09:30.330 --> 01:09:32.160 Karen Tarapata: seem quite as prot 658 01:09:32.670 --> 01:09:33.660 Karen Tarapata: Because they really 659 01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:35.160 Are sort of landscape. 660 01:09:36.690 --> 01:09:45.180 Karen Tarapata: Clean up based things rather than, Oh, we're going to take down this building or over going to put up a gazebo or any of that. 661 01:09:46.740 --> 01:09:49.230 Paul.Curley: Yeah, I would like to add code that in 662 01:09:49.380 --> 01:09:50.310 18456426153: In with 663 01:09:50.370 --> 01:09:51.570 Paul.Curley: The Friends of 664 01:09:51.780 --> 01:09:54.960 Paul.Curley: A river board meets really 665 01:09:55.680 --> 01:09:58.830 Paul.Curley: astoundingly regularly every two weeks at 666 01:09:58.980 --> 01:10:13.050 Paul.Curley: A minimum in chats about what, what can we do, what, what can how can we help and we're always faced with the reality that there's not that much you can do yet because there's no 667 01:10:13.950 --> 01:10:24.690 Paul.Curley: Master Plan that lays out what what what kind of initiatives can really be rolled out so we debated at length, what can be offered that 668 01:10:25.680 --> 01:10:44.880 Paul.Curley: That is, you know, that's would be done, regardless of the direction would would probably be done, regardless of the direction that the whole preserve takes or any other other other major projects so so that's why these are of the nature of removing poison ivy and removing binds 669 01:10:45.930 --> 01:10:48.510 Paul.Curley: It for the most part, more 670 01:10:50.640 --> 01:11:00.750 Paul.Curley: Maintenance, type, type things that don't really change anything other than just make it look nicer for the time being, pending the pending the master plan. 671 01:11:01.020 --> 01:11:07.950 Ken Rothchild: Yeah, I, you know, again, I want to, again, stay. Clearly, I have no objection to the offer the gifts being offered 672 01:11:08.430 --> 01:11:16.170 Ken Rothchild: For their intent. I understand how damaging vines and vegetation can be how dangerous trees that are dead, and potentially 673 01:11:16.920 --> 01:11:24.360 Ken Rothchild: Life threatening can be and I understand the ugliness of the circle. It's it. This is not actually a concern of mine about the friends. 674 01:11:24.750 --> 01:11:38.430 Ken Rothchild: Who have dealt with this and generously and honorably in this I'm I'm mostly asking my fellow trustees to remember to inform us somewhere before the middle of a meeting that we're about to approve something that's all 675 01:11:39.420 --> 01:11:41.760 Karen Tarapata: Amen can, you're absolutely right. This 676 01:11:42.210 --> 01:11:57.570 Laurie Dodge: Man, but I would also say with respect it. I mean, Carol hand and I am not. I think the report would be a good thing. But this was handed out to us yesterday, so it's it's not exactly as though this was just in the middle of the meeting that this became a conversation 677 01:11:58.320 --> 01:12:15.870 Laurie Dodge: And I say that with respect because, can I felt in similar to the feeling you are feeling right now. I have felt. Similarly, in the past. So I think your point about a regular report is a good one. Um, 678 01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:37.560 Laurie Dodge: But we, and sometimes. Sometimes we get information about these meetings sooner and sometimes we get it later. And it's a lot of information to sift through a day or so in advance of the meeting. I appreciate that because of everyone's schedule, you know, 679 01:12:37.650 --> 01:12:40.710 Karen Tarapata: This sort of brings up something I was hoping that we could have 680 01:12:42.120 --> 01:12:44.220 Karen Tarapata: I'm actually going to ask us to have a workshop 681 01:12:44.220 --> 01:12:56.100 Karen Tarapata: meeting next week.

So as we start to be able to have more 683 01:13:07.230 --> 01:13:16.860 Karen Tarapata: We get out of the summer mindset and her were workshop meetings, it'll be easier to present this kind of information well in advance of any kind of boating meeting. 684 01:13:20.850 --> 01:13:21.630 Ken Rothchild: Are we 685 01:13:21.990 --> 01:13:24.450 Ken Rothchild: Is there a public hearing on the comprehensive plan. 686 01:13:26.550 --> 01:13:27.210 Ken Rothchild: Next week, 687 01:13:27.990 --> 01:13:37.170 Karen Tarapata: No, there's no no, there's no six nothing scheduled we're waiting, we have to.

As you may or number that was one that Joe 905 01:29:19.020 --> 01:29:20.190 Laurie Dodge: Suggested so 906 01:29:21.690 --> 01:29:23.880 Laurie Dodge: And Marie did it. 907 01:29:23.940 --> 01:29:28.350 Laurie Dodge: And I shared it with Karen last week to share with all of 908 01:29:28.350 --> 01:29:30.420 Laurie Dodge: us this week and 909 01:29:31.710 --> 01:29:46.650 Laurie Dodge: I thought, you know, I liked the the previous one. And I like this one as well. So there's really not as y'all remember we took there used to be that we had up or not at the village on the Hudson, um, 910 01:29:47.370 --> 01:29:49.590 18456426153: And which was under actually 911 01:29:49.620 --> 01:29:58.410 Laurie Dodge: The line for the Hudson. And so we moved village up above upper neck and we took on the Hudson off and this is what we're left with 912 01:29:59.070 --> 01:30:11.400 Laurie Dodge: I mean, I actually really liked it. It looks to me it looks very clean and I can see it at some point without village of upper Narc if we wanted to just use if the if the mountain. 913 01:30:12.420 --> 01:30:22.170 Laurie Dodge: The drawing of the mountain and the water became so I kind of graphic that we wouldn't need it. But obviously, for the most part, since it's the village. 914 01:30:22.710 --> 01:30:35.460 Laurie Dodge: Would be the village logo, we would use village of overnight so yeah and then these words. This is the color palette that obviously won't black and white. And these were the variations in the grays. 915 01:30:35.490 --> 01:30:36.300 18456426153: And the 916 01:30:36.420 --> 01:30:37.380 18456426153: copper color. 917 01:30:40.380 --> 01:30:47.160 Laurie Dodge: And so here it is for your viewing pleasure months after we saw the months after we saw the originals. 918 01:30:49.470 --> 01:30:49.620 Karen Tarapata: What 919 01:30:50.970 --> 01:30:55.860 Karen Tarapata: I like about this is that this will read, even when it's very small 920 01:30:56.340 --> 01:30:56.700 Yes. 921 01:30:58.200 --> 01:31:02.610 Karen Tarapata: In this case of our Community Choice aggregation literature. 922 01:31:03.060 --> 01:31:14.040 Karen Tarapata: They've been bugging me for months for some kind of a seal or a logo for the village of opera Nyack because all the other participating municipalities have some 923 01:31:14.040 --> 01:31:14.580 Karen Tarapata: Kind of an 924 01:31:14.610 --> 01:31:15.150 Karen Tarapata: Image 925 01:31:15.780 --> 01:31:27.210 Karen Tarapata: And if we accept this, then I can let them put our little logo, along with all the others who are going to be on the documents. 926 01:31:28.590 --> 01:31:30.840 Karen Tarapata: Just a little update are the 927 01:31:30.870 --> 01:31:33.780 Karen Tarapata: RFP for our Community Choice aggregation. 928 01:31:33.780 --> 01:31:37.050 Karen Tarapata: Is finally going to be returned on September 3 929 01:31:38.130 --> 01:31:46.860 Karen Tarapata: I will be able to see what the rates are going to be.

So, virtually these properties have no real value, but they might 1057 01:41:05.280 --> 01:41:09.090 Karen Tarapata: Help these property owners if they want to do something on their properties in the 1058 01:41:09.090 --> 01:41:10.620 18456426153: Future and it's better for us. 1059 01:41:11.220 --> 01:41:13.950 Karen Tarapata: I just wanted to give you an update. And the reason I'm pretty the 1060 01:41:13.950 --> 01:41:17.100 18456426153: Update. I knew that was a purpose for this conversation. 1061 01:41:18.030 --> 01:41:33.660 Karen Tarapata: The one cost to the village is going to be putting together a survey of the properties that we want to annex. And one of the things that I'm hoping to do when I meet with these property owners is find out how many of them. 1062 01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:36.390 18456426153: Can provide us with a survey, because if 1063 01:41:36.450 --> 01:41:38.160 Karen Tarapata: Each of them has a survey. 1064 01:41:38.400 --> 01:41:39.870 Karen Tarapata: It's going to cost us a lot. 1065 01:41:39.870 --> 01:41:40.410 18456426153: Less 1066 01:41:40.710 --> 01:41:42.000 18456426153: To produce this survey. 1067 01:41:42.900 --> 01:41:51.540 Karen Tarapata: And I wish that there was a way we didn't have to spend a dime to do this annexation, but that's the only cost. And I think that it's it still makes sense. 1068 01:41:51.600 --> 01:41:52.230 18456426153: For the village. 1069 01:41:53.010 --> 01:41:54.240 Karen Tarapata: I just wanted to get your 1070 01:41:54.360 --> 01:41:56.340 Karen Tarapata: impressions of 1071 01:41:59.820 --> 01:42:00.360 Ken Rothchild: So, 1072 01:42:00.870 --> 01:42:08.310 Ken Rothchild: On these you saw the New York Times on the survey. So they're going to use the US standard foot or they're going to use the 1073 01:42:08.310 --> 01:42:09.240 Ken Rothchild: International 1074 01:42:09.330 --> 01:42:10.110 Standard clip. 1075 01:42:12.450 --> 01:42:12.780 18456426153: After 1076 01:42:13.680 --> 01:42:18.570 Ken Rothchild: That might make a difference of about a quarter of an inch. One way or another. I, I'd be a little concerned. 1077 01:42:19.440 --> 01:42:20.400 michael esmay: Not even that 1078 01:42:23.400 --> 01:42:31.620 Karen Tarapata: Okay, I just want you to give you an update of what's going on with that before the survey is ordered I'll definitely have to get an authorization to spend that money but 1079 01:42:32.040 --> 01:42:33.030 18456426153: I haven't gotten to that. 1080 01:42:33.060 --> 01:42:34.560 Karen Tarapata: Point yet. We're just getting them to 1081 01:42:34.560 --> 01:42:35.580 Karen Tarapata: Agree right now. 1082 01:42:37.260 --> 01:42:38.130 Karen Tarapata: Alright, so 1083 01:42:38.310 --> 01:42:41.460 Laurie Dodge: I want to move to upper Nyack or you we don't even know. 1084 01:42:42.690 --> 01:42:43.110 Karen Tarapata: What 1085 01:42:43.530 --> 01:42:46.920 Laurie Dodge: Do most people want to move into upper Nyack or 1086 01:42:47.640 --> 01:42:53.940 Karen Tarapata: We don't know. We don't know if there's any reason why they would have checked. I, I had Josiah most right a 1087 01:42:54.810 --> 01:43:09.600 Karen Tarapata: Justification, you know, a reason for them to want to be to have all their property and every night and not split between close down and up or die. I think it's just they bought the property and no one ever thinks about it until you bring in a safe plan right 1088 01:43:10.860 --> 01:43:16.110 Karen Tarapata: Right, that's, that's why we're having the meeting with them. I'm hoping we can have the meeting at Casa del 1089 01:43:16.110 --> 01:43:16.560 18456426153: Mar. 1090 01:43:16.830 --> 01:43:22.020 Karen Tarapata: And just get these guys to come in and do one presentation to them all. Yeah, and 1091 01:43:22.050 --> 01:43:24.540 Karen Tarapata: Then I got the mic Graziano our 1092 01:43:25.950 --> 01:43:29.430 Karen Tarapata: Our ward, a representative in Clarks town. 1093 01:43:29.970 --> 01:43:34.500 Karen Tarapata: And he's the guy from Congress. I need the real regular kind of guy and he 1094 01:43:34.530 --> 01:43:36.660 Karen Tarapata: Worked in the shipyard when he was a kid. 1095 01:43:37.080 --> 01:43:54.570 Karen Tarapata: And I thought it might be helpful you different personalities with these different property owners that he and I, and then also this Jeff Gail is who really wants to see better renewables in Clarks town and upper neck. The three of us would be able to give 1096 01:43:54.570 --> 01:43:55.590 A good presentation. 1097 01:43:58.350 --> 01:43:59.730 Karen Tarapata: We're going to work on that and sep tember 1098 01:44:01.890 --> 01:44:10.800 Karen Tarapata: Alright, the last part here is the discussion, the initial discussion of the friends or river book website. Laura, do you want to talk about that. 1099 01:44:12.420 --> 01:44:15.120 Laurie Dodge: Um, well, yes. 1100 01:44:15.150 --> 01:44:16.410 And it's technically 1101 01:44:17.580 --> 01:44:18.000 Laurie Dodge: Yeah. 1102 01:44:18.030 --> 01:44:19.800 Laurie Dodge: I mean technically it's it's 1103 01:44:20.730 --> 01:44:21.570 Laurie Dodge: River hook 1104 01:44:22.740 --> 01:44:29.820 Laurie Dodge: It is the river website not friends have, um, so the 1105 01:44:30.420 --> 01:44:32.910 Karen Tarapata: If it's fundraising for friends. It's technically the friends. 1106 01:44:34.230 --> 01:44:42.210 Laurie Dodge: Well, I think it serves a different purpose. Yes, I guess technically, but I think it serves different purposes. Clearly when the store is 1107 01:44:42.450 --> 01:44:53.370 Laurie Dodge: The store and donate. Yes, that's, that's true. So we'll have to change the footer, because it doesn't. There's no place. I don't know that it says friends here. Let me just 1108 01:44:53.550 --> 01:44:55.800 Karen Tarapata: Probably the most important discussion, it's 1109 01:44:55.830 --> 01:44:59.550 Karen Tarapata: If you, if you've had a chance to look at the initial 1110 01:45:01.530 --> 01:45:02.760 18456426153: draft plan. 1111 01:45:02.790 --> 01:45:10.530 Karen Tarapata: Of how the property could be many different programs broken out, you know, different areas. 1112 01:45:12.360 --> 01:45:12.780 18456426153: Of the 1113 01:45:13.140 --> 01:45:13.860 Website. 1114 01:45:16.020 --> 01:45:17.340 Laurie Dodge: Anytime to me. Are you talking 1115 01:45:17.580 --> 01:45:18.480 Karen Tarapata: Talking everybody 1116 01:45:19.380 --> 01:45:30.600 Laurie Dodge: Yeah. So just, just so that everyone sort of understands how this came about after and I'll go through this really quickly because most of us already know the story, the village bought 1117 01:45:30.750 --> 01:45:31.800 Laurie Dodge: The property. 1118 01:45:32.700 --> 01:45:33.090 Laurie Dodge: We 1119 01:45:33.150 --> 01:45:34.230 18456426153: Call the river hook, we 1120 01:45:34.230 --> 01:45:38.340 Laurie Dodge: Did the logo. We were all involved in that and then Karen and I had a 1121 01:45:38.430 --> 01:45:48.330 Laurie Dodge: Bunch of meetings that village residents attended and from those meetings we started to get a sense of what people sort of wanted to see beyond the meetings that we had 1122 01:45:48.480 --> 01:45:49.860 Laurie Dodge: Before we actually took 1123 01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:52.590 Laurie Dodge: possession of the property and 1124 01:45:52.650 --> 01:45:55.530 Laurie Dodge: You know, Kate, but people were interested in the landscape, but 1125 01:45:55.530 --> 01:45:58.080 Laurie Dodge: The big categories where the landscape. 1126 01:45:59.790 --> 01:46:04.020 Laurie Dodge: The buildings and fundraising and you may imagine that 1127 01:46:04.080 --> 01:46:20.730 Laurie Dodge: The largest groups where the landscape works, people were really interested in the landscape. But then you know the the broad interest sort of narrows into smaller groups of people who are actually engaged in doing the work. And those people kind of became 1128 01:46:20.820 --> 01:46:22.440 Laurie Dodge: After many months friends. 1129 01:46:22.470 --> 01:46:23.280 Laurie Dodge: Of river hope. 1130 01:46:23.340 --> 01:46:27.840 Laurie Dodge: Which is, it's a it's a small group, it's Paul it's Allison. 1131 01:46:28.980 --> 01:46:33.000 Laurie Dodge: Me Karen and john Colgan 1132 01:46:34.350 --> 01:46:36.780 Laurie Dodge: And then because of Ray rights. 1133 01:46:36.840 --> 01:47:01.560 Laurie Dodge: Donation there is a communications fundraising individual who is working to raise money. So the re right we've been talking about how, you know, we need some something a website so that when people asked what river hook was about 1134 01:47:01.980 --> 01:47:03.660 Laurie Dodge: Something a little more robust 1135 01:47:03.660 --> 01:47:14.490 Laurie Dodge: Than what we could have on the village website just based obviously on the look and feel of our website and the type of information that we convey. They're really sort of to tell more of a story. 1136 01:47:14.970 --> 01:47:28.110 Laurie Dodge: And various people sort of came along to help us think about the story and one young man's name is Jonathan Malloy and he's from South Nyack lives in Brooklyn. 1137 01:47:28.590 --> 01:47:39.270 Laurie Dodge: Now is back in South nine because of coronavirus and he and two other of his friends, colleagues who went to Yale architecture school 1138 01:47:39.930 --> 01:47:52.980 Laurie Dodge: I'm also really interested they all work at intergalactic architecture agencies and they're very interested in these public private collaboration and they're working on one in Chester. 1139 01:47:52.980 --> 01:47:55.890 Laurie Dodge: Pennsylvania, so they 1140 01:47:55.920 --> 01:48:04.410 Laurie Dodge: They wanted to be engaged in some way. And at the time, we had small donations from a couple of friends of river hook board members. 1141 01:48:05.460 --> 01:48:09.570 Laurie Dodge: And we were trying to figure out how we sort of got a website up and running so that we 1142 01:48:09.570 --> 01:48:11.340 Laurie Dodge: Could tell this story and then 1143 01:48:11.430 --> 01:48:14.250 Laurie Dodge: Re right came along and gave us the money. 1144 01:48:14.250 --> 01:48:14.700 Laurie Dodge: For 1145 01:48:14.730 --> 01:48:17.340 Laurie Dodge: A master plan, which included 1146 01:48:17.430 --> 01:48:18.330 Laurie Dodge: This website. 1147 01:48:18.390 --> 01:48:19.320 Laurie Dodge: And also, 1148 01:48:19.380 --> 01:48:21.240 Laurie Dodge: The other work that public record. 1149 01:48:21.330 --> 01:48:21.960 Laurie Dodge: Is doing 1150 01:48:22.380 --> 01:48:25.530 Laurie Dodge: Which you will see in early September. 1151 01:48:25.560 --> 01:48:28.710 Laurie Dodge: That's when that that the 1152 01:48:28.770 --> 01:48:30.030 Laurie Dodge: The larger proposal that 1153 01:48:30.030 --> 01:48:31.170 18456426153: They're going to give to us. 1154 01:48:31.500 --> 01:48:33.930 Laurie Dodge: That they'll show us and really 1155 01:48:33.960 --> 01:48:36.480 Laurie Dodge: The main purpose of this site. 1156 01:48:36.510 --> 01:48:58.140 Laurie Dodge: Is again what I said at the beginning of the conversation. It's really to tell the story very broad strokes about what river hook aspires to be when it grows up really and the vision that public record will give to us is truly a design vision, it is not 1157 01:48:58.200 --> 01:48:59.940 Laurie Dodge: It does not offer 1158 01:49:01.140 --> 01:49:08.280 Laurie Dodge: A great deal of specifics in terms of, you know, we talked about, for example, like just 1159 01:49:08.310 --> 01:49:09.750 18456426153: Even with pairing house the 1160 01:49:09.750 --> 01:49:10.620 18456426153: Main house. 1161 01:49:11.100 --> 01:49:28.350 Laurie Dodge: The design vision will show broad strokes ideas and talk broad strokes about what will happen there without extraordinary detail for that we would more we need more of the schematics. So that, like, say, we actually, you know, thought we might have 1162 01:49:28.650 --> 01:49:30.690 Laurie Dodge: dinner at some point in the future. 1163 01:49:30.930 --> 01:49:49.410 Laurie Dodge: And the village concurred with what this space should look like. We want to have something that we could actually give to a general contractor, so they could tell us how much it would cost to we could get someone to pay for it. So the purpose of this is really just to inspire 1164 01:49:50.520 --> 01:50:06.210 Laurie Dodge: You know, it's really informational and inspirational and to answer people's questions when they go through the preserve and when we begin to fundraise and when anyone comes to the village and says, What's this thing called river hook this website. 1165 01:50:07.260 --> 01:50:13.380 Laurie Dodge: Is is supposed to handle that. Yeah. In an elegant way and 1166 01:50:14.880 --> 01:50:18.960 Laurie Dodge: Yeah, so that's that's sort of was the purpose of this particular 1167 01:50:20.670 --> 01:50:21.690 Laurie Dodge: Resource 1168 01:50:25.560 --> 01:50:38.610 Karen Tarapata: Yeah, and it's still, it's still a work in progress. There's still some things being adjusted in book because this is something once again that the board has to agree with this general vision. 1169 01:50:40.860 --> 01:50:57.630 Karen Tarapata: And then we can also present, you know, push it out to the villagers and see what our residents. Think about this. It is separate from it's you know it's it's separate from the Board of Trustees, but at the same time, we want to be sure that 1170 01:50:58.710 --> 01:51:02.610 Karen Tarapata: The vision of the of the fundraising group is aligned with the vision of org 1171 01:51:05.100 --> 01:51:12.240 Laurie Dodge: And one other thing I'll say, just so you because a couple of these sections are not complete. So clearly, donate 1172 01:51:12.300 --> 01:51:14.880 Laurie Dodge: Looks like you can donate but if 1173 01:51:14.940 --> 01:51:16.590 Laurie Dodge: This is not functional at this 1174 01:51:16.620 --> 01:51:18.030 Laurie Dodge: Particular point in time. 1175 01:51:18.300 --> 01:51:26.400 Laurie Dodge: This will look like this. If friends of river hook actually has a bank account, and we don't have to have donations through 1176 01:51:26.550 --> 01:51:28.380 18456426153: Rockland Community Foundation. 1177 01:51:28.800 --> 01:51:30.570 Laurie Dodge: If we have to have donations through 1178 01:51:30.570 --> 01:51:34.020 Laurie Dodge: Rockland Community Foundation. This page will look a little different. 1179 01:51:34.710 --> 01:51:43.860 Laurie Dodge: Because will need to use a rock and Community Foundation widget, which has been kind of branded to look like this site, but it's not as elegant as this. 1180 01:51:44.340 --> 01:51:53.820 Laurie Dodge: And in the store these items or actually, they took yeah the items that you see don't really exist. This is also not functional. We have to figure out 1181 01:51:53.850 --> 01:51:54.480 Laurie Dodge: What are the 1182 01:51:54.510 --> 01:51:56.520 Laurie Dodge: Items that we 1183 01:51:57.900 --> 01:51:59.700 18456426153: Already know maybe even just an 1184 01:51:59.760 --> 01:52:15.330 Laurie Dodge: item that we can start with when we launch so that people if they want to support the organization, they can do so. So these are these are placeholders for lack of a better word, they're not real products at this point in time. 1185 01:52:16.170 --> 01:52:34.830 Karen Tarapata: And something that I've been speaking to the architects about is that even in this schematic, they don't show parking and we're having a discussion about where if we're ever going to have any kind of programming on the in the preserve. There has to be 1186 01:52:35.250 --> 01:52:38.940 18456426153: A modest parking lot somewhere and 1187 01:52:38.970 --> 01:52:41.940 Karen Tarapata: I have an idea.
