All right. Good evening. It is 6:30 by my watch. Um I'm calling to order the committee chairs of the Greenfield City Council. This meeting is being recorded by committee chairs. If any other persons present are doing the same, you must notify the chairperson at this
time. The purpose of this meeting is to prepare agendas for subcommittees for council consideration. No discussion or comments will be entertained unless requested upon by the committee chairs. So, um I'm just going to do a roll call
and see if we have anybody here. >> Um >> keep an eye out. >> So, uh Councelor Bottomley >> here. >> Councelor Golo Golo here. Um councelor Garrett.
>> Great. Uh, councelor Healey is not here. >> Not where he let us know he could not make it. Um, councelor Wandelowski, I am
here. And I don't have my list. Have I missed a committee? Um, I think that's all of our committee. So, >> so we have a forum. Great. So, um, the first item on our agenda is
approving to declare real estate located at 62 Meridian Street as surplus property. Um, and I'm just going to uh sort of put these together. The next one is real estate at 77 Petty Plane Road.
Um, and then um also authorizing the mayor to approve 77 uh Petty Plane Road. So um if it is okay with the uh assembled body, I actually think this
should go both to community relations and to EDC because of um a lot of community concern about uh that school. Mhm. >> Um it'd be great to think about if there is a public process to that that could
run parallel to EDC. >> More opportunities to be transparent. Sounds good. >> Okay. >> So, let's write this as well. >> Okay. Um All right. >> So, we're thinking the same the month
there'll be like two meetings that month on that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And it's just a discussion at community relations. Obviously, no recommendation. I would imagine or >> no. Uh I think start with that and see if there's a recommendation because I think
>> given that the meeting is in like two weeks if if we wanted to do something more public forum, I want to make sure that there's plenty of time for people to know about it to show up. >> Okay. >> Sure. >> Both from the neighborhood perspective as well as just uh
people concerned about surplus property. >> That's good. Um so then we have uh proposed amendments to the code submitted by councelor Williams. Um one of them is assemblies and the others is streets and sidewalks.
>> ANO of course. Yep. And I know that's probably part of the ANO review that's going on anyway. >> All right. The next thing is a very long list of mayor's appointments and reappointments. I'm not going to read them all if that's okay.
those along on home can look at those as well. Uh >> are you okay with not going to ANO? >> Yep. >> Fantastic. >> So nice. So many people are willing to help out. >> Seriously, it's a long list. >> It's a very long list.
>> And there's names that I haven't seen before, so that's even more exciting. Yeah, >> it's not the people who just get >> shled from >> I know there are some of those that some folks I definitely recognize from their other services, but >> All right. Um, next thing we have is uh
approve amount not to exceed $85,000 from stabilization or the high-speed vehicle charger at the police station. >> That would be a first reading. So, I'm wondering any of these that are first readings if
we should discuss them in December. We usually do them on the the month that they're actually voted on. That makes sense. We have been kind of doing them as when they come up, but I'm just I saw that we have tax rate and uh first quarter budget for this
meeting, which could be kind of lengthy if we add that in this month. And since it's coming back anyway, it makes sense to push it to December. >> All right. So December to Ways and Means. >> That's the next >> um and that's going to And so we also
have the same thing for the capital stabilization um it upgrade >> um as well as the Lent property or is that the right schedule? I just want to make sure the lent
those all have to have first readings, right? >> Yeah. Same for the pension stabilization. >> Yes, because I checked last month just to make sure none of those were um none of those had first readings. >> So financial orders. >> So that is all of those orders, correct?
>> To December. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Uh I got ways and that's what it's called. >> All right. And then um so looking at the EDC, anything that's not on here? Well, we can go through it as we get to each
>> Mhm. >> agenda. Um, okay. EDC um has on it all the surplus property. I don't think there was anything else. I know last month they at least the mayor
talked to them about some a list of properties that are uh owned by the city and um you know have fallen into disrepair. >> Mhm. >> I don't know what the if there's any next step for that.
>> I assume that it's just kind of a heads up that these are things that the city is looking at, but I don't remember hearing anything from EDC last month about that more specifically. um we've got uh public hearing on a bunch of
different um um pieces. Uh and then we've got the discussion items um that have just come over. Um, one of the ones that
um I don't see on this list is the precinct um meeting uh >> amendment. What's >> Did you put that forward? >> I need to I haven't. >> No rush. >> Yeah,
>> I didn't see I wasn't expecting it. Yeah, we finished the Well, we finished all of the um the amendments uh at our last meeting, so it is ready to go to >> Great. Okay, great. >> Did you send it? So, you've been meaning
to send it to Kathy. Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. No rush. >> How about we'll send it to Kathy and then if it can make it on to this month, it that's great. And if not, it >> the committee's done a lot of work on it. So, great. >> I hope it's ready to go for you. >> Okay. So, then that would be under discussion. Yep.
>> Okay. Um the things that are there for public hearing are also I think ready to be under motions. Um >> okay. >> Great. >> Is there anything else that you see here?
>> No. Okay. the uh just jumping back to EDC. Are those going to be motion this month potentially or do we want to hold off till December on this? >> The EDC surplus property stuff.
>> Is that going to go under motions? I guess we could table it if the discussion >> as motion >> and then if discussion warrants it. Okay. >> Yeah, I think that makes sense. Okay. um community relations. We've got a
proposal for no noise ordinance. Um just discussion on that and um folks had brought up a problematic property, the property that burnt down over bicycles. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> So
um and then I will look to see if there is anything else. I feel like there might be one more item. >> Well, you're going to add your discussion of those surplus properties too, right? >> Yeah. So, that too. Thank you.
>> Yeah. Um, do you all think there's any and and I I just don't know if it makes sense at some point either through community relations or or somewhere and and maybe it's combined with the surplus property
discussion, but just the uh properties that the city owns that are in, you know, bad shape that I know the city has been working to find the
owners um or heirs or whatever, but I it feels like something that's worthy of some sort of more public discussion just so folks know what this process is and because otherwise it sounds like
>> so so that it becomes more open and >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, are you requesting that the mayor put forward a list? Unless you'd have to, wouldn't you, to if you're going to sell a property and that's >> yeah, >> the normal process. >> Yeah. >> I mean, I don't >> I think it's, you know, some of this is
just a >> being community discussion of what's what's even the process before this before the mayor would even put it up for sale. >> Maybe just add to the discussion of these surplus properties, the general process. It doesn't have to be the specific list. It could just be like
here's the process of how properties end up surplus and why they surplus. The other thing I want to just caution if you're including multiple committees like community relations and EDC often times it's multiple nights for staff too. >> Sure. >> So I mean that's why I kind of like to
leave it >> on one committee just because you're going to have the same staff having to come and do the same thing multiple nights. >> I I don't know. >> And the public does have the opportunity to show up at EDC obviously. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I think part of me is just
thinking if that if this gets rolled into like a bigger community meeting where it's not just a committee meeting but it's a community meeting that we could call to >> discussion. Yeah. Forum. Thank you. That's the word.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh okay. And ways and means. Um >> um my only question on this hope and I think I think I saw the invitation already went out to the board of assessors. >> Okay.
>> Um for ways and means to come and talk about the tax rate. The only thing I don't know the information. I don't know if the city uh has I don't think I don't know if they've submitted it. I know that hasn't been approved yet. can't set a tax rate until the state
>> send us >> uh >> the results of reviewing that. So, this has happened before where you might have to just leave it like ready to put on >> because usually and what I'm hoping is they'll have all their information that they submitted, which is usually really close. That's like the unofficial like
here's what we're estimating for free cash and then when the state certifies it, it's usually just a little bit different, but we can have the whole discussion. Um, but it's usually I think we've had it ready to go. >> Yeah. >> So, they could be popped into the agenda. Otherwise, it would we'd have to
wait until December, have a special meeting. >> So, I think >> So, I I was going to ask Kathy about that having it kind of ready. >> Yeah. Me, too. >> Because I know it's been close before, like we're waiting, waiting, waiting,
and then it's officially certified like >> Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I remember that from last year. Cool. Uh, and then quarterly review of Yay. >> Well, you wanted great
that's going to happen. Me, too. >> Yeah. So, hopefully we'll get all that info and invite Stephen. >> Well, I can watch that. It's helping us see that. >> Yay. All right. And then, um, the draft meeting agenda.
I mean, everything is thrown in here and I know, you know, that that we may or may not move forward with the authorizing any of these sales because it might be just too quick. >> So, what's coming off the committee? So, we talked about the public hearing items
from, you know, going on the full agenda. >> Yeah. >> Well, that's >> that's true. Let's try to get out of >> ordinances >> each of the things that are there for
hearing can probably >> I think that's definitely fair to say. >> Okay. >> First readings. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Uh are we missing anything team? Not that I'm aware of. I >> think we're good with those public
hearing ordinances. That's the only thing that needs to move. >> Yep. Yeah, I think we're good. >> Okay, great. Now, um I'm looking at my watch. It is 6:45. I would take a motion to adjurnn. >> So moved.
>> Everyone in favor? >> A second. >> Second. Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. Um so we are adjourning at 6:45 and thank you everybody. >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Busy week. Thank you. >> Bye community.
