 Welcome everyone to the work of the 8th neighborhood planning assembly meeting for March. We will be going with the productions. Uh, I'm, I'm going to be having a board of eight brothers. I think we are going to have a public association. So, there's a little cheaper. Sorry. I'm Amy. I was one. And I'm. Welcome. Well, open up a little form. Um, Uh, So now. Uh, You need some. Um, I didn't do it. Hi. Hi. Hi. Thank you. Um, Check. Um, Let's see if you go. Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, I would just like the other direction that's for, um, Service on the calendar. Um, That's our. Leadership and work. You know, So many, many hours. The big council actually. Definitely been there for a day, but I appreciate all the work that's been done. Conversations, debates, and all the work that's been done. So thank you. I didn't bring a stage, but you're going to have a photo of a fan coming out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For other comments. I know you were on there before your council. We hope you can continue. Thank you. So I'm just trying to get folks that I haven't been in for a very long time. I was very lucky to be in for a year. I think it's been more overall. And it really is. I think there's a lot of things that are really important to us as a couple. Physically. For a long time. For a long time. Amazing. We are very lucky. We lost. I think it's been really good. Also, well, I'm always politically agree with her. or on a public council at the last point in most of the last years and just doing a day-to-day stay-at-home and use the city away from everyone else at this before. And so, you know, very much we come out third and choose in the meeting on the 4th in the final day of a two-day meeting. There was probably another part of the meeting on the council overall and in certain ways, and while I'm at the last week, while I'm at the last week, we start by now, and I look forward to that. Okay, that's good. Thank you so much. I need to go back to the city department of forest development and forest development. That's a smart question. I think by the way, which, probably we're here in the classes. You know, forest development is all in signs. But that's what it's for. Yeah, that's sort of what the person gets. Okay. But that table is self-serve for all of the Eclipse things you can need. Also, I guess, I'll turn it up to Ward 8 new residents and members. Like, we've been providing all this, I've been able to jam ideas about how to distribute them. You know, I guess I could put them in the library. That would be a nice idea. I've also been provided a sunspotter, which I'm going to look at. I do close, I guess. I'm sort of reading up on today. And so, I'm going to get some people off the job. All right. So, I'm going to put out an overview of what it's really close to this time. Yeah, and then I'm going to teach this to many people on this day that are going to be able to monitor it. So, being a student needs to be specifically on the website. Obviously, it's on the site, but it's not on the site where it's supposed to be. But that's all about the accused, as we've talked about. You know, they have the information, trust me. We're going to go through this as well, where I need to follow the difference. So, again, I've got no reason that I'm working on where it's supposed to be closed. And since my quarter of our people come, it's plus 11 to the quarter of each month. And the second slide, and some of us, it couldn't get me on what those young, most amazing faculty, who have a major faculty degree. Yeah. Yeah. So, I guess, I think we'll take the right approach to that. But, we'll take the first group, and then we're on the closer now. And then, I think in terms of the process, is it as we can handle that? Yeah. Yeah. So, I think we brought in the question. The number is how long is my bio? Does it make sense? I don't think it makes sense. But who are the people who might want to be with me? I don't know. We were last time, because I thought we were going to have to know that each of us is going to be like more of that, or is going to have to find a program, so I'm sure you and I don't see it. I'm going to see it. So, yeah. I wouldn't I'm going to be able to see it. Not what we've got, but I mean it's a great question. So that's not out of. So then you have that, like, so we don't want it to go up. But then, obviously, I was going to tell you a little bit about it, but it didn't work. Yep. And without that. And then we can all just go in and talk to the client. Yeah. I can be sure. Oh, and my ring. So a lot of my men go to call my ring. Yeah. But, you know what I mean? Yeah. I also drew it with some spotters like I think they'd get it to the warning idea. So. Of course, the vendor stores space. And be able to do that during the flip. You. But. If anyone has any interest in it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's a way to use it, but all working directly on it. So. It's really cool. Yeah, it's kind of like. Mess around with my office office. Yeah. No. Take a hundred. I do think we're going to. Actually, I do think we're very busy. You think we're. Very busy. A lot of it around. And it looks really. My first. Is that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm concerned about, I said, and then I had three names in here that might have been lost, so why do you think it's been used on here? And it's going to be in the bottom. And then she went on to us and looked at the facts. So that's my, that's my concern. Yeah. Thank you. I think it's very helpful. It's a list of the topics. It's a list of the topics. I know that it's not where I'm going to stare directly at it, so that's Wait, what are you talking about? Well, I'm gonna give you a chance to try this. This is correct. Yeah. Well, I think if you had a lot of. I'll probably just set up a table on. Right in front of the morrow. People just walking down. Here we go. Because that would be a lot of happeners. People are going to stop on my way. Right. Yeah. People can deal with a lot of people and a lot of traffic like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Well, I'm sure. I also want. Yeah. All right. Good trust and work out for us. I think it might not be the most accessible for me. You know, I'm sure. Yeah. Well, personally. I don't know. I'm well, I can give a little weather weather. I don't know. The reason it came up with the walking dog. And he signed out. The signs still say. They make new signs after the. Excuse him. And he said. I don't know. Does that serve. Yeah. I think. I don't know. I think so. I think so. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And I do think we should. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I know that currently word six does their meeting at Champlain College. They have a connection there with someone so they're able to use this space for free. And they have all the technology and everything which allows for the meetings to happen. Technically Champlain College is now in word eight. So theoretically maybe. Possibly there could be conversations about using that space too. I could probably get that contact information for you. I don't know. Well, you can park on Maple Street actually, right? I called Champlain College. I think we should just walk. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It might be a little small though. I don't know. I'm not sure that it would be able to hold even more people. Let alone parking there. I think parking lots pretty small. I don't know. Word six is already having their meetings up there. So there's actually already a room. Sitting there waiting for it. As far as the parking is concerned. So you can. On that street is a. It's not cross, but it's one. So if you're accident. So you go take this little lane called Cedar Lane. He goes in behind all the big, the big bill. So before the NBA meetings on the first Thursday of the month, there's actually 10 spaces that it's after six. There's like 10, 15 spaces. And then there's also a big sign that says if you can't find the space here. You just go back down to the street. Go down. And there's another large parking lot there. So right now. My personal impression is that you should probably talk to shooting plane because they're already breathing. Yes. They're already set up. Because we are in two meetings there. So we are probably a customer. So that would be my. Suggestion. Anderson. Anderson. So. The guy. And that's the trainer and I'll see. I believe and I see, I think. I think you have. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean you don't you don't have to follow rubber tools they're not required for any way the steering committee is begging for more volunteers so I guess hey Ryan sorry I'm just gonna like if you want I can speak briefly about what it means to be on the steering committee and if you want okay um so yeah I'm both guy work with CEDO and the NPA public engagement specialist I basically act as a liaison between the NPAs and the city um so yeah basically being on the steering committee kind of the expectations are that you basically you know kind of collect input from you know residents about what they would like to have on the agenda sometimes people fill out forms to present at the NPAs but basically you work as a group as a steering committee to put together agendas work out logistics facilitate meetings and remain in contact with me to send me agendas and meeting minutes and everything so I can post it um and then yeah so that's basically generally what it is and then also each NPA has funds each year this in a fiscal year it's been two thousand five hundred dollars per award I'm not sure what it will be next year um but so the steering committee also manages those funds and if they do purchases on behalf of the NPA even things like food or you want to do some sort of community event or you have to pay for space um then like dealing with that process reimbursement process too and uh payment for that so yeah so generally there's about one generally the other NPAs have more steering committee members they generally meet uh the a week after their NPA meeting to start planning the next NPA meeting um but I I think it depends on how involved you want to be how much time you have on your hands I think different people have different capacities and help out in different ways but yeah it's uh I think it's a great way to get involved but I think yeah Hannah was also on the steering committee at one point and um can speak to it to us but yeah so also if you have any questions obviously you can ask Ryan or Hannah or anyone and I'm also a resource that you'd like You cannot carry over to the next fiscal year so that might be a good next agenda item to talk about ways that you can use those funds it's pretty broad as long as you are using those funds for the mission of the NPA so you could even potentially fund some like community projects things like that so definitely something to keep in mind because that's a good amount of money you know the fiscal year ends at the end of June 2024 so until then I have always been reminded for separation between people who are on the city council and so city council is not in charge of the NPA and the NPAs have their own steering committees and they're independent that's the way it's supposed to be so I'm always cautious about not including NPA I do think though so with that caveat the risk of immediately violating the rule that I just set out that's all I do think that if there's $2,400 sitting there there's got to be plenty of wonderful things that can be done to help you and you know reference the NPA project reporting that's a lot of and that's like that's older communities right at least at least one person to get the older community and it's got the library it's got a lot of stuff there's a lot of it's a long way of going the way it's a shame to you probably you he was it was very he was the NPA yeah I mean yeah it would be a decision of the body yeah but yeah the steering committee is very low again mindful of the separation as you know as you have told me I appreciate everything okay so you've got it you've got to come up with a plan in a plan or that and then spend your money but all your receipts at the end of the city very early okay so even though the fiscal year doesn't end as normal as could you we've got to get the receipts and so the city can process we can get checks out of the nursing so CEDA was going to be asked before you receive a really perfect person so we've got a good person to make this decision you know April presumably have an advantage and then you can count those receipts more or less a meeting to continue so you could do like a little bit of a new young kid that's a student in college kid that's they also have an environment to you right on yeah that's what I'm asking for again is so that's a good reason for more and more it's a lot of you guys are cold because you've got 25 years here and because they have to take 100 dollars a month in your space they never have much money to do then so they're they very happy to make sure because of just the fact that we've given them a lot of flexibility because they tend to do a lot of projects sure so they can have a lot of infusion out there so what are sorry Charlie I'm kidding go ahead what are the rules which I'm sure you said they were pretty broad what are the rules yeah um basically there are some guidelines um um you would just have to basically ask me for approval for the funds um trying to think of something that wouldn't be allowed like paying yourself so like I don't know do something that it tends to be something that they've advertised as the NPA friends before and to the NPA so I remember the rules are I would not describe this as broad because you have always never really had time to hear about it because there's not much money to think about it necessarily and so this is not a good idea I don't know what you're saying but I don't know what you're saying yeah so it's mostly a reimbursement process for the NPAs um what happened recently like wards four and seven they had a really big community general yesterday that cost about $800 um and instead of having someone pay that out of pocket we worked with the vendor to pay the vendor directly um and then like using funds from the from the NPAs account um yeah I can look at the specific guidelines um I think the categories of what it would fall under it is is pretty general um like people use them for community events or to fund projects within the community um words two and three often will come up with projects and then vote to fund different projects within the community maybe charlie can speak more to that um yeah I can look them up I don't have them right here but one way people use that is food you know child care meeting space outreach advertising I guess you know connected with that um those are the general categories so you might be quite shocked some of the things money can spend on in the past because like you'll have like um words two and three just funded all of the kinds of things that are up had through one of the a cemetery that we know to upgrade a couple of years ago for instance which I yes and sometimes I think we're trying to go a little bit this year the first time in ever 30 years when the account is on one day you use it for minutes and you don't want a penalty and so the NPAs you pitch in like four or five or six and a thousand or something so there are a couple of nodes a couple of years ago then there's the big variable so it's a big um basically no more than that's the end of the game that's a little closer to the end of the training that they mentioned the end of the game having time to get there for sure I mean I'm not going to do it so there's a lot of flexibility to use it but basically my my thought is that we should spend more money on anything both in advance I said I'm excited to be back but the NPAs don't have that many beliefs about life so I wanted to realize that to have some kind of an advantage to introduce people about the colleges or somewhere to come to barbecue or something to give out a lot of information I think they're wrong we're not saying I don't know what it was like to express myself or the library the uh right I think it's like now it's waiting for my self-consciousness but I mean it's rather pure awful yeah John was a child good thank you all for coming I'm David, thank you all
