MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTIONS ON PAGE 1 ARE AS INDICATED.
ONTO PAGE 2, MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTIONS CONTINUING ON AS INDICATED.
LOCAL LAWS. LOCAL LAW 2-1 FROM LEGISLATOR LORIGO WILL GO TO FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE.
LEGISLATOR LORIGO, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?
>> I'D LOVE TO HAVE A COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ON IT.
THE EFFORT OF THIS LAW IS REALLY JUST TO BRING SOME MORE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
I THINK IF WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE COMPTROLLER ABOUT IT, I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
>> THAT'LL GO TO THE FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, AND WE'LL HAVE IT UP AT THE NEXT ONE.
>> NEXT ONE IS INTRO 3-1 FROM LEGISLATOR LORIGO, AGAIN, WILL GO TO FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK ON THAT ALSO?
>> THIS ONE IS JUST SETTING SOME STANDARDS FOR MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES AND GOVERNMENT.
AGAIN, I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE AND OPEN UP SOME DOORS AND SHED SOME LIGHT ON THINGS. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO PAGE 3.

INTRO 9-6 FROM LEGISLATOR JOHNSON WILL BE UP FOR CONSIDERATION, BUT I'LL LET LEGISLATOR JOHNSON SPEAK TO IT.
>> YES. THIS RESOLUTION IS SIMPLY CALLING FOR THE LAW DEPARTMENT TO EXECUTE AN EXTERNAL AUDIT.
WE KNOW THAT TWO AUDITS HAVE TAKEN PLACE, AND THIS BODY PASSED A RESOLUTION BACK ON MARCH 7TH CALLING FOR THE EXTERNAL AUDIT.
SINCE THEN, THE CLERK'S OFFICE HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE MATTER OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.
SO WE'RE JUST COMPELLING THE LAW DEPARTMENT TO PURSUE AN EXTERNAL AUDIT.
THIS IS WHAT JUST A SIMPLE RESOLUTION IS.
I KNOW IT WAS SUSPENDED AND NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT.
WE COULD TALK OFFLINE ABOUT THIS AFTER THE FACT, BUT IT'S THE REASON THAT THIS RES WAS BEFORE US NOW.
>> THANK YOU. JUST OFFHAND, HAS THERE BEEN ANY INPUT FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY? THAT'S CORRECT.
>> THIS IS WHY WE'RE BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION TO GET THE NECESSARY INPUT THAT'S NEEDED.
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY STANDS READY TO ISSUE THE CONTRACT.
>> HE HAS NO PROBLEM TAKING IT OUT OF HIS OWN BUDGET.
>> MOVING ONTO PAGE 4 COMMUNICATIONS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS ON PAGE 4 AS INDICATED. ONTO PAGE 5.
WE HAVE TWO IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION ITEMS. FIRST IS COMMUNICATION 9E-15 FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE.
WE HAVE DEPUTY COMMISSIONER THOMAS BAINES HERE.
THOMAS BAINES UP SIR. GOOD MORNING.
[00:05:04]
>> GOOD MORNING, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
WE ARE HERE SEEKING AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT A FUNDING APPLICATION TO EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT TO THE ROUND 8 COMMUNITY INITIATIVES PROGRAM ON BEHALF OF EVERGREENHEALTH.
ERIE COUNTY WILL ACT AS ITS LEAD SPONSOR FOR THIS GRANT SEEKING $1.5 MILLION FROM ESD.
IF AWARDED, THE COUNTY WILL PROVIDE A 10% MATCH IN THE AMOUNT OF $150,000 TO BE REQUESTED IN THE 2025 CAPITAL BUDGET.
IN 2023, EVERGREEN PURCHASED FOUR VACANT PARCELS ON KENSINGTON AND BAILEY AVENUE.
THE PLAN IS TO CONSTRUCT A 40,000-SQUARE-FOOT THREE-STORY FACILITY TO SUPPORT CLINIC ON SUPPORT SERVICES, INCLUDING FINANCIAL COUNSELING, PHARMACY SERVICES, CARE COORDINATION, PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE, AND ADMINISTRATIVE SPACE FOR EVERGREEN AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
THIS IS A ROUGHLY $20 MILLION PROJECT ON THE EAST SIDE AND SLATED TO BREAK GROUND IN 2025. I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.
>> NO QUESTIONS. JUST A COMMENT AS WE THANK YOU.
THIS IS NECESSARY PARTICULARLY WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD THAT KENSINGTON AND THE BAILEY AREA.
IT HAS BEEN A BLIGHT THERE SINCE THAT FIRE AND THIS RIGHT HERE WILL HELP THAT COMMUNITY STABILIZE ITSELF AGAIN.
I WANT TO THANK THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATION.
>> I'M SORRY, LEGISLATOR VINAL.
[BACKGROUND] YOU'RE ALL SET? [BACKGROUND] LEGISLATOR TODARO.
>> THANK YOU. DEPUTY, THE 150,000, I'M JUST SKIMMING THROUGH THIS RESOLVE.
IN THE LETTER, WHERE IS THAT GOING TO BE COMING FROM THE BUDGET?
>> IT IS ANTICIPATED TO COME OUT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE PROCESS.
>> LEGISLATOR GREENE, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
>> I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THIS IS GOING TO BE A BUILDING THAT'S OWNED BY EVERGREEN?
>> OUR ROLE DID ENSURE LONG-TERM GOES IN THEIR HANDS?
>> ALL GOOD, LEGISLATOR THOMAS.
>> NEXT UP IS COMMUNICATION 9E-16 FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE.
WE HAVE COMMISSIONER BILL GEARY HERE WITH DEPUTY COMMISSIONER HOPE.
NOW YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. [NOISE].
>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU. WE ARE HERE SEEKING LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION OF OUR 2024 PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS APPROPRIATIONS AND PRE-APPROVAL OF BIDS FOR CONTRACTING.
WE WILL SEE THAT THE RESOLUTION INCLUDES AN EXHIBIT OF OUR 2024 ROAD AND BRIDGE PROJECTS.
THIS IS THE SAME DOCUMENT THAT WAS SUBMITTED EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN WE CLOCKED IN OUR 2024 YEAR ROAD PROGRAM.
THE DEPARTMENT'S PRIORITY IS ALWAYS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FAVORABLE WEATHER.
WE'VE GOT A SHORT CONSTRUCTION WINDOW HERE IN WESTERN NEW YORK AND WE WANT TO EXPEDITE THE ROAD AND THE BRIDGEWORK AS WE HAVE IN PREVIOUS YEARS COME BEFORE THIS BODY FOR THE OMNIBUS RESOLUTION.
THIS PRE-APPROVAL OF CONTRACTS TO BEGIN WORK AFTER FOLLOWING ALL THE PROPER BIDDING PROCEDURES WILL HELP US AVOID ANY DELAYS AND TO MEET THE PROJECT TIMELINES THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY INDICATED.
>> INDEED IT WOULD BE A GOOD DOCUMENT.
IT TALKS ABOUT ITS PART PAY-AS-YOU-GO AND PART CONSOLIDATED BONDS WITHOUT SPECIFYING.
BUT IS THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS SPECIFIED IN THE OTHER DOCUMENT? WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR TODAY? ARE YOU JUST ASKING FOR A SMALLER AMOUNT? OR IN THE RESULT WAS ON PAGE 7, THE FIRST ONE SAYS THAT PUTS 22 MILLION AS BOND PROCEEDS, FEDERAL AID AND PAY-AS-YOU-GO WITHOUT DIVIDING THEM.
THEN THE SECOND ONE SAYS 27 MILLION PAY-AS-YOU-GO AND CONSOLIDATED BONDS WITHOUT DIVIDING THEM.
WAS THE DIVISION ALREADY APPROVED IN A DIFFERENT RESOLUTION?
>> IT'S A COMBINATION OF USING UP OLD FUNDS FROM SOME OF THE OLD BOND ACCOUNTS WHERE WE HAD CONTINGENCY FUNDS AS WELL AS PROJECTS COMING IN UNDER BUDGET.
BUT THE BOND COVENANTS ARE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH THAT ON THE FEDERAL AID, WE CAN USE PORTIONS OF THE FEDERAL AID BRIDGE AND BRIDGE WASHING TO GO INTO ANOTHER BRIDGE WASHING PROJECT FOR THIS YEAR.
WE GO BACK YOU'LL SEE THOSE BONDS GO BACK TO 2017 ALL THE WAY UP TO 2023.
WE TRY TO CLEAN UP ALL THOSE LOW-HANGING BALANCES TO STRETCHING TO MORE PROJECTS AND GET MORE WORK DONE ESSENTIALLY.
>> WELL, THEN HOW WOULD SOMEBODY READING IT KNOW WHICH OUT OF THE 22 AND 27 HOW MUCH IS PAY-AS-YOU-GO?
[00:10:05]
IT'S BEING TRANSFERRED TO [OVERLAPPING].>> I'M TRYING TO SEE WHERE IT IS IN THE EXHIBIT.
>> IT'S THE LAST THREE PAGES AS THE EXHIBIT SHOULD SHOW FUNDING SOURCE AS A COLUMN IN THE EXHIBIT.
I THINK IT'S PAGE 50 AND 51 YOU'LL SEE FUNDING SOURCES.
>> UNDER THE BRIDGE PROJECTS, THAT WILL INDICATE THE ACCOUNT FROM 2017, ABOUT EIGHT ACCOUNTS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO IT'S ITEMIZED UNDER EACH PROJECT.
>> I SEE. LIKE HUNTER'S CREEK, THAT'S ALL STILL FEDERAL AID, I GET YOU.
>> SO THE PAY AS YOU GO IS GOING TO OVERLAY AND TO WILCOTT TO GOODRICH 178? I GOT YOU. YEAH, AND THE PAY JUST IS BEFORE THAT, ALSO.
>> ALSO, I'M SORRY. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
APPRECIATE IT. THAT ITEM WILL BE UP FOR APPROVAL.
CONTINUING ON WITH OUR AGENDA.
COMMUNICATION 90-17 THROUGH INCLUDING 90-21 IS AS INDICATED.
MOVING ON, COMMUNICATIONS FROM PEOPLE IN OTHER AGENCIES AS INDICATED.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING EVERY YEAR.
EVERY YEAR, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE BETTER.
IT'S TO SUM UP ALL OF THAT THAT'S IN THERE.
IT'S REALLY JUST A SPEECH DISORDER.
IT'S ORAL. IT'S LIKE A MOTOR DISORDER.

>> THANK YOU. LEGISLATOR MILLS.
>> EXPLAIN MY VOTE. TWO CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THIS.
$210,000 IS A LOT OF MONEY JUST TO A DESIGN WHERE VEHICLES CAN PARK.
I UNDERSTAND IT CAN MAKE A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN AREA.
SECONDLY, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PERMEABLE BASE WHERE IF CARS ARE GOING TO PARK ON IT, THEY'RE LEAKING GASOLINE OIL.
THAT'S GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE GROUNDWATER. I'M A NO.

[ SUSPENSION OF THE RULES:]
MAJORITY LEADER, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I HAVE ONE SUSPENSION TODAY FROM LEGISLATOR JOHNSON COMPELLING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAW TO ENGAGE IN A CONTRACT FOR AN EXTERNAL AUDIT OF THE ERIE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE.
>> MAJORITY LEADER. MINORITY LEADER.
THERE'S BEEN A MOTION TO SEND THE ITEMS TO COMMITTEE.
IT'S BEEN SECONDED BY LEGISLATOR TODARO.
SHOULD WE TAKE A ROLL CALL? IS ANYONE GOING TO REQUEST A ROLL CALL VOTE ON SENDING THE ITEMS TO APPROVAL? YOU CAN ONCE SUSPENDED.
THERE'S BEEN A MOTION TO SEND THE ITEM TO COMMITTEE MADE BY THE MINORITY LEADER.
IT HAS BEEN SECONDED BY LEGISLATOR TODARO.
BEFORE I CALL THE QUESTION, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE MAJORITY LEADER.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THIS S A PROCEDURAL QUESTION TO THE TWO PARLIAMENTARIANS THAT THOUGHT I HAVE SUSPENSION 1.
>> BUT THAT IS WHAT WE ASKED, BUT NOBODY OBJECTED TO IT.
WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE MOTION, AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OFF OF THE FLOOR THE MOTION TO SEND IT TO COMMITTEE AND THE SECOND.
I'M GOING TO CONTINUE WITH LETTING YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
>> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PROCEDURALLY ON SOLID GROUND BECAUSE THE MINORITY LEADER HAD EXPRESSED INTEREST PRIOR IN THEIR WORDS SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO WANT TO VOTE IN HIS COMMITTEE.
I THINK THERE WAS JUST SOME CONFUSION OF JUST THE REQUEST TO VOTE TO ON COMMITTEE OR THE OBJECTION TO AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THE VOTE TO COMMITTEE.
>> IF YOU OBJECT TO IT, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY CORRECT.
YES. THE PARLIAMENTARIAN SAID THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO SEND IT TO COMMITTEE, BUT THEY'VE TAKEN THAT MOTION OFF THE FLOOR AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEGISLATOR WHO'S ABOUT TO MAKE AN OBJECTION, SO IT WILL REMAIN COMMITTEE.
>> YEAH. I WAS ASKING FOR CLARITY.
>> BEFORE I CALL IN, I'LL ACKNOWLEDGE YOU, LEGISLATOR JOHNSON.
WE WON'T DISCUSS THIS BECAUSE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO MOVE THIS THE NEXT TIME THAT WE HAVE SESSION FOR AN IMMEDIATE VOTE TO DISCHARGE IT SO IT WON'T BE A COMMITTEE DISCUSSION.
I WANT TO FIRST [INAUDIBLE] THE FLOOR VOTE ON THIS NEXT TIME SO WE WON'T BE DISCUSSING.
NUMBER 1, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE CLERK'S OFFICE ADVERTISING, AND THE MINORITY CAUCUS HAS NOT HAD ONE QUESTION.
NOW THEY GOT A QUESTION TODAY.
THE QUESTION WAS WHERE ARE THE FUNDS COMING FROM.
WE OUTLINED WHERE THE QUESTIONS WERE COMING FROM, THEN ASK YOUR QUESTION.
NOW AGAIN, NOW THEY WANT TO SEND IT TO THE COMMITTEE.
WHY? WHEN THEY HAD NO ISSUE WITH IT BEFORE THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY. GO BACK TO THE RECORDS.
THE CAUCUS HAD NOTHING TO SAY IN REGARDS TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE EXTERNAL AUDIT.
THEY DIDN'T ASK ANY QUESTION WHEN THE CLERK WAS HERE.
THE THINGS THAT WE FOUGHT HARD FOR FOR TRANSPARENCY, NOTHING FROM YOU.
TODAY, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN WE OUTLINE AN EXTERNAL AUDIT.
THE COMPTROLLER OUTLINED AN EXTERNAL AUDIT.
WE'RE HERE AT THIS POINT RIGHT NOW. BUT IT'S FINE.
WE'LL SEND IT TO COMMITTEE, BUT IT DOESN'T REACH COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT WON'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AT THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS DISCHARGE IT IN THE NEXT SESSION.
IT'S PROCEDURAL AND IT'S FINE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO DISCHARGE IT TO THE NEXT TIME FOR A VOTE.
[00:35:01]
WHERE WE COULD DELAY TODAY AND THAT'S FINE, BUT IT'LL GO UP FOR DISCHARGE.SO WE WON'T HAVE A COMMITTEE DISCUSSION HERE BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS [INAUDIBLE] IF WE'RE HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DELIVERING ON THE TAXPAYERS AND WE'RE PROTECTING ENOUGH TAXPAYERS, THIS IS THE SENSIBLE THING TO DO.
[BACKGROUND] YOU GUYS ASKED QUESTIONS, SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT THERE.
IT WILL NOT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AT COMMITTEE, BUT I WILL FORCE IT OUT AND DISCHARGE WITH THE NEXT COMMITTEE FOR A FLOOR VOTE.
>> WE'RE OUTSIDE OF THE RULES THEN.
SUSPENSIONS ARE NOT DEBATABLE.
I'M GOING TO ALLOW THE MINORITY LEADER A COMMENT BECAUSE I ALLOWED YOU A COMMENT, AND THEN I'M GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE OBJECTION OF LEGISLATOR TODARO UNLESS THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT BECAUSE WE ARE HERE.
[LAUGHTER] WE'RE MAKING UP OUR OWN RULES AT THIS POINT.
MINORITY LEADER, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION ABOUT THIS.
THE REASON I WANTED IT TO COMMITTEE IS SO WE COULD DISCUSS AND GET A BETTER VOTE ON THIS FOR AUGUST.
ONE OF THE BIG THINGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PHYSICAL IMPACT IS THIS 100-$150,000 ESTIMATE FOR SERVICES.
>> BEN IS RIGHT HERE. YOU CAN ASK YOUR QUESTIONS TO BEN. HE'S RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.
>> WE CANNOT DEBATE THIS ITEM AS A SUSPENSION SINCE WE CAN DISCUSS IT IN COMMITTEE LEGISLATURE.
>> I'M SAYING I'LL BE AT THE END OF THAT.
>> I APPRECIATE HIS PASSION, BUT MY TRACK RECORD ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE UPFRONT TRYING TO GET UNANIMOUS VOTES ON THINGS.
>> THANK YOU. BOTH CAUCUSES HAVE BEEN HEARD ON THE ITEM.
BACK TO THE ITEM, LEGISLATOR TODARO.
>> I COULD FEEL THE FRUSTRATION FROM LEGISLATOR HOWARD.
THE SUSPENSION I'VE RECEIVED TODAY EXPLAINS THAT THE 100-$150,000 FROM THE COUNTY ATTORNEY IS FINAL.
I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS MORE WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND SEE WHAT ARE HIS PLANS. WHAT ARE HIS GOALS? THOSE ARE QUESTIONS I'D LIKE TO ASK.
THAT'S WHY I'D LIKE TO SEE IT IN THE COMMITTEE.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ON IT.
I'M NOT TRYING TO SLOW IT DOWN. WE'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> WHAT COMMITTEE IS THIS COMING OUT OF SUSPENDED ITEM, MAJORITY LEADER? WHERE WAS IT AT?
I'M GOING TO SEND THIS TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE UNDER MY AUTHORITY AS CHAIR.
