Speaker 2

20:42 - 20:44

Yeah. Thank you, chairwoman.

Speaker 3

20:44 - 20:46

I just have, two for three.

Speaker 2

20:46 - 20:59

Just wanted to ask. I don't see for item one, I don't think planning is here. Yeah. Right there. But this is a $23,000,000, amount for sidewalks, room, drainage.

Speaker 2

21:00 - 21:08

Being that I mean, planning is not here. Maybe I can ask DPW. Is there any coordination that goes on with planning your department on this? Yes.

Speaker 3

21:08 - 21:08

Do you

Speaker 2

21:08 - 21:17

guys have anything in, like, in planning and the methodology on where this money is invested? Is it, like, netted to your CIT work? Any of that? Because, I mean

Speaker 5

21:18 - 21:25

There's a yeah. There's, like, a whole list of considerations that go into place, obviously, the higher pedestrian areas.

Speaker 4

21:25 - 21:25

Mhmm.

Speaker 5

21:25 - 21:29

But these are the safe streets, Morocco. This is quite a safe

Speaker 2

21:29 - 21:29

street.

Speaker 5

21:29 - 21:35

So DPW doesn't touch things. They're in the safe streets like South Main Street

Speaker 4

21:35 - 21:36

Mhmm.

Speaker 5

21:36 - 21:47

Or, South Water or the only those stuff that like, they map out this first because that's federal money, and then they fold in according to Tricia's priorities after that.

Speaker 2

21:48 - 22:04

Got you. Being that it's $23,000,000, is this not going to finance or anything? Doesn't look like it's not being referred. Maybe I can touch base with the right demo again at least. It would be nice to see the presentation on this and, like, the scope of work.

Speaker 2

22:04 - 22:37

I feel like with the mild history conversations recently, just work around the city and equity you know, equitable distribution of funds, the council, you know, would like a presentation on that. Okay. And then this the second one, this is with Jocelyn. And I apologize because it was just an OSC meeting I missed for this, but there is a scope of work, under a change order for some asbestos abatement, I believe it was, being that there's a school there as well. It's an occupied remediation.
