is so that everyone knows that we're
still moving forward
um and he gave a uh a brief report and
the next report is from
attorney john gross
good evening everyone the um
there are two matters we were going to
report on very briefly
one relates to um a resolution that's
before the
the council this evening relative to the
institution of litigation my associate
vega will speak to that uh but before
that i was
just going to give a brief report on the
lease negotiations
with the martin luther king center uh
inc
organization uh in the city that i
along with the city representatives have
been uh conducting
we've had several meetings uh they've
been very cordial
we're focused on um
coming up with a mutually acceptable uh
lease instrument
uh i uh we have a couple of sessions
i believe scheduled going forward this
month
um and we're hopeful to achieve
an amicable resolution
ellen do you want to give your report
are you ready for that uh donna
well she can give it but it's also item
number two on the agenda yeah why don't
we wait till we get to the item that's
that would be the appropriate time to do
it we can
we'll move that up to first after the
city manager report
okay sorry didn't mean to usurp your
responsibilities that's no worry
just streamlining the process yeah all
right um
next is john mcnally um
good evening everybody just a few quick
updates that the city
manager asked me to brief you all on so
uh first and foremost will be covid
uh the seven day period that ended
january 29th there were 154
confirmed positive test results for the
city which averages
uh just under 22 cases a day
or 0.66 per thousand people
those numbers while still high are
down significantly from where we were a
couple of weeks ago
um so you know as we're seeing on the
state level
uh the the holiday bump or the holiday
spike
that was expected um has has come and
gone
um at least for long beach uh but that
does not mean that we
you know take our guard down or relax
the standards with your living
from a long island perspective the
percentage of icu beds which is
obviously one of the key metrics that
the state is using
remains at 21 that has
stayed remarkably steady really over the
past three months
and that is inclusive of
elective surgeries which as you'll
recall during the spring elective
surgeries were
completely taken off lines so our
hospital has been in pretty good shape
and the overall positivity rate for
those that
have been tested on long island is 6.03
so we were at 11 12
island-wide a few weeks back um so we've
we've come back down to normal and for
the first time
uh in quite some time since well before
the holidays
the statewide positivity rest uh
positivity rate
is under five percent so
you know the vaccine rollout is
obviously still remains
frustratingly slow we don't have
vaccines for everyone that
that would like them obviously um and
don't even have enough vaccines for
everybody that is eligible at this stage
of the game so
we ask folks to maintain patience and to
continue to
social distance wear a mask wash your
hands avoid gatherings
until such a time that you know we can
get enough people vaccinated
then just a few other quick hits uh
parking meters
[Music]
we i spoke with our park and consultant
yesterday and he is going to be working
on
putting together the bones of an rfp for
us so
we expect that to be going out within
the next month i would say
in terms of the electronic beach passes
we're just dotting eyes and crossing t's
and would expect to have
something for the council's
consideration also within the next
meeting or two
so both of those are moving along pretty
quickly and you should see
those before you and lastly just
as a reminder tomorrow is recycle day as
part of the new new
recycle protocols so it is citywide
and it is commingled which is glass
plastic and cans so everybody get out of
tomorrow
then next week is paper and cardboard
uh and then that alternating repeats
itself over and over again
if anybody is confused we know the
calendar is not
reflective of this schedule you can go
to longbeachny.gov
backslash recycle and there's a
downloadable calendar there
one pager that will give you the entire
year at a glimpse
so you never really have any confusion
about you know which recycle week it is
and that would be my report any
questions
thank you all hey all right and then the
last thing that i have is
i just wanted to say to all the staff
that worked
um not only was it people on the streets
but we had
um some people in oem they came in they
worked overnight
our oem office was open open last night
at six o'clock and was open until noon
today
and so i want to say thank you to all
the staff
and for the residents for every accolade
we received in every complaint we
received
when the team meets together next week
to look at
our lessons learned we will look at all
of those on things that we can do better
so again thank you everyone that's it
for me
okay thanks donna all right uh
dave let's move on to the agenda but
let's move uh item two up so we
don't have to keep uh mr gross okay so
we're gonna skip the public hearing and
go to item two
yeah and then we'll go right back to the
public hearing okay so
on on the regular calendar item two is a
resolution authorizing command
commencement of litigation
and that's ellen and ellen vega
hi good evening everyone
um so this resolution is before the city
council to authorize certain legal
actions against individuals
for the recovery of money improperly
paid for leave time
it's about it's 12 individuals and the
amount is 174
751 dollars
okay um any questions
from the council
all right seeing none dave we got any
questions from the public
uh yes we have roy lester okay
good roy uh yeah this is uh
different than the litigation we've
already started in other words different
people
or have we uh caused different causes of
action against the same people
uh yeah i just saw l and unmuted sorry
um yes this is for new individuals in
separate and apart from the
two uh litigations that have already
been commenced okay
thank you okay
anyone else dave
nope that was it okay great uh john
ellen thank you very much we appreciate
it
and um we'll uh
talk to you soon uh let's go back and uh
go to the public hearing
okay so we have a public hearing for
item number one which is a resolution
granting waiver of all street parking
requirements for premise 162 east park
avenue street floor
long beach for a retail gift shop and we
have the proprietor on let me
on oh john already did it
okay miss goodin hi can you guys hear me
we can hi hi how are you guys
okay you're abandoning the west end yeah
i'm trying to centralize myself to be
available for all long beach residents
oh okay
it's not gonna be the same walking by
and not seeing you there i know we were
sad to leave hopefully
we'll be back there one day and have a
second location too so
oh that would be nice okay uh i mean i
uh well i was gonna say i i was going to
assume most of the council is familiar
with the cod fish cowboy so
um not a lot to discuss about the
business i guess just uh
do you anticipate uh much in the way of
of deliveries
uh no you know what i split them up so i
have them
go to three different locations so that
it minimizes the disruption of traffic
on the busy street so
all right don't wanna pick up the third
lane
well you'd be one of the few
uh all right um and then i guess how
many employees you
anticipate having um so we're gonna
probably
gonna be employing more people now okay
so i'm probably going to be
probably upwards of 10. all right uh but
but at any one time in the store
probably what just
oh no so yeah two max okay
all right are your hours uh what are
your hours going to be
um they're they're going to stay the
same uh 10 or 11
to 7 on the off season
and then 10 to 7 during the the
summer and chris and christmas time okay
um great uh there any questions from the
council members
all right seeing none do we have any uh
questions from the public
hands raised at this time okay then
great then uh i'm gonna close the public
hearing and uh why don't we move on to
uh vote on this so uh miss guten doesn't
have to stay on the phone
okay so we're to vote on item number one
which is a resolution granting waiver
for street parking requirements for
premise 162 east park avenue
long beach new york for a retail gift
shop who introduced a move the adoption
of this item
i will second
i will voting councilmember delorey
yes councilmember mandel yes
councilmember truston
yes vice president mcginnis yes
president bendo
yes and i look forward to that second
location all right
all right guys have a good night you do
okay on to the rest of the regular
calendar we've
done items one and two on to item three
resolution
authorizing the city manager to enter
into an agreement with new york rangers
llc
all right is uh donna that you or mr
brand gonna join us
or that's joe brand okay
uh he is not on okay go to the next one
um it's go to the next one let me call
him
all right so item 4 which is a
resolution authorizing the city manager
to amend the current agreement
with coastal planning and engineering of
new york pc and assisting the city
in our coordinated efforts with the us
army corps of engineers okay i'm going
to assume that's mr fabrizio
okay joe go ahead and unmute yourself
uh can you hear me yes um i believe this
will be the fourth amendment to the
coastal planning and engineering
consultants company
to continue to assist the city with
issues related to the army corps of
engineers coastal storm risk management
project
for the south shore long beach the
intent of authorizing
additional funding to cp e is to
continue this assistance
while the project's essentially complete
um the city never formally accepted the
project
because of several issues with the new
groins
as well as the old groins that were
never replaced
moving forward cp is going to represent
the city with any reporting requirements
to further the city's position on these
issues
um in addition the off the u.s army
corps has proposed a it's called an
o-m-r-r-r
manual which means operation maintenance
repair replacement and rehabilitation
manual
it's a nice acronym um essentially this
document
lawns brazilian this is liz can you
see if you could adjust your microphone
or a little garbage or is it just me
better i'm sorry yes thank you okay
sorry
um the army corps has proposed a
operation maintenance repair replacement
and rehabilitation manual
essentially this document outlines city
responsibilities that must be
implemented in order
for our beach to maintain its standing
as an engineer beach
some of the requirements of the omr are
the city has to perform um annual
inspections including beachwood
measurements across the entire shoreline
um we have to perform inspections of the
groin field
and record any changes in the conditions
of the groins including settlement
rock displacement cracking etc
we must document maintenance of the
dunes including
dune plantings and snow fencing
replacement and we also have to submit
um annual inspection reports
um in addition cpd is going to be
assisting us with um
we want to put two additional vehicle
crossovers one at
long beach road and one at national
under the boardwalk and over the dune
these are uh traditional entry and exit
points
for smaller vehicles um and under this
extension we're going to authorize them
to prepare the permit applications for
the army corps and
nysdc um so hopefully we can have those
and actually beach main is also going to
build those so they're going to do the
permits and
each maintenance is going to build the
walk-overs i'm sorry the vehicle
crossovers
um and that's pretty much it if you have
any questions i'd be happy to answer
them
any questions from the council members
all right seeing none any from the
public
uh roy lester has his hand up hold on
okay
good right okay um so the crossovers are
they going to
involve the cutting of the barrier under
the boardwalk
no what they're gonna do is we're gonna
like right now at national boulevard you
can traverse under the boardwalk
but now you can't there's no access for
a vehicle to go over the dune
so we're gonna build a similar uh
crossover like we have at new york
avenue and pacific
so a small vehicle like a small
lifeguard truck or a small atv
um can actually cross over so right now
we only have those two access points
right right and they work fine so there
won't be any break in the boardwalk
it'll be
over the boardwalk no no it's gonna go
under the boardwalk
he's gonna go under the boardwalk and
over the dune
okay and and pacific you have an
over-the-board walk
and since it's the end of oh not
pacifica
it's a shorter dune though okay
um the other thing are these the same
people that have been
kind of advising us on this construction
since i guess it's uh
2010. yes
now from what i've heard at these
meetings
we're not happy at all with the
construction that the army corps of
engineers did
we have a lot of problems with them yet
these people have been advising us all
along did they advise us to do things
differently and we just couldn't do it
or
no that's not the case at all they've
actually um they were a big advocate
and put together correspondence
basically stating that the actual groins
were basically installed incorrectly
okay
so they all along have been telling us
that
this is not going right oh absolutely
yes and we have documentation
but this is to you know this is a
continuation of their agreement
to assist us when necessary no they've
um they haven't
they put together an engineering report
that we submitted to the army corps
that clearly clearly explains
um that there's a defect in the groins
no what i'm sorry what i'm asking for is
they've been involved
for the last uh 11 years did they
tell us along the way that this system
wasn't going right
they have told us that what they're
doing is incorrect and not
and out of character with what they
normally do with the rehabilitation of a
groin
normally what they would do with the
groin um is they would put a sub base or
a subgrade right
yeah underneath what they did in our
case since they were rehabilitating or
groin
they did not build a sub sub sub base
for the extension
of the groin and it's just basically
placed on sand which is against
everything they've
they typically do but the army corps has
refused
to address the issue but we we advised
the army corps prior to them doing that
that it was wrong correct
yes we've been fighting with them since
during the construction
before the construction after the
construction it's been an ongoing battle
unfortunately they're taking a hard line
approach their response to us when we
bring it up is you know what
what does a groin do we um and they they
say it's supposed to break waves
and capture sand that's what it's doing
so there's no issue which we
we i disagree with that approach
but that's their approach that's how
they feel that's what they're saying
well it might be true but it's not going
to do it if it sinks
and it's not there i i agree with you
and um
our consulting firm agrees with you
unfortunately the army corps
um is a very difficult entity it's like
they don't want to admit
they made a mistake or something it's
very all we can do is keep documenting
it that that's right
as long as we've warned them ahead of
time a good legal
like i can show you the reports that we
submitted they're very detailed
and so if you need any more information
from me please feel free to reach out
okay thank you so much you're welcome
all right anyone else dave
uh nope that was the only hand okay i
see uh councilman delores got a question
yes i just have a question for uh joe
fabrizio
joe if you know what the traverse uh
route will be meaning you have to go
under the boardwalk at national and long
beach road
i imagine you have to go left or right
to get that um
that height properly
um i'm going to talk to tommy and defer
to him
when we put in the application we'll
address that
um it depends because right now when you
go under the water walker national
there's a walk over immediately to the
east so
i would presume that therefore it would
probably go
if you're going from from north to south
that you would go under the boardwalk
over the dune and go to the west that
would be my thought
but um again the city forces are
intended for
for the beach maintenance to direct it
um and we'll deal with that when we do
the permanent application and ultimately
construction but that would be my guess
it would probably go to the
towards the west away from the at least
the national away from the
walk over and my last question joe
does this firm coastal um engineering
or do they involve themselves
in any of the design for this type of
work
well what they do actually is they
they all familiar with it but in this
case like for the actual permit they're
gonna um
sub it out to another firm i can't
recall the name offhand
okay that's fine that's fine that's all
my questions i forgot to ask him earlier
okay thank you all right thanks joe
so why don't we move back to item three
um yes i it appears that he had to call
in um
oh you have him okay i was trying to
call him i couldn't get a hold of him
yeah i see his number up there the 989
he's on mute
you see him yeah
how are we doing now there you go we got
you
i'm in you're in
all right good evening um
uh real quickly uh just in regards to
item number three um as everybody's
aware uh back in october early november
there was an honor sent out for
landlord tenant agreements at the ice
arena
the one program that that hasn't come
back yet
is the partnership agreement that exists
between the
city and the new york rangers it's the
junior rangers learn to play program
this will be a 10-week
program that's offered to people in
long beach and surrounding communities
um it's a
subsidized program by the nhl the new
york rangers at madison square garden
uh a grassroots feel good family
enjoyment
type program that attracts young kids
into a program
uh at an affordable uh at an affordable
fee
and then sell on the rangers supply the
equipment
we're only required to supply the ice
and the instructors for the program
the junior rangers program like i say
all
the uh flag that they fly under is the
learn to play program there's a girls
component
a step two rookie league component and
the learn to play where they get the
equipment for free
and jump on the ice for the first time
basically the rangers do all of the
advertising they do
all of the administrative work and they
do
the um the
provide the instruction part of it
we supply the bodies to do the actual
on ice instruction for the kids and the
partnership works where they collect
fees and then
pay us on a per participant basis
and that's about it normally it's it's a
there's three
10-week sessions associated with it
but we've agreed or we're in the process
of making the agreement that we would go
strictly with a one winter 10 week
season just because of you know
the rfp that exists for the operation of
the arena as a whole
we feel that we'd probably be able to
get this program our 10-week program in
comfortably
uh and get these kids back on the ice
because they haven't been bad
since the program was you know
interrupted
back in late october so that's it
okay got any questions from the council
members
this is karen hi joe hey karen how are
you
good in you good thank you yeah this is
a this is an exciting program
again so thank you for all of your hard
work to put it together
just have a no problem just have a few
questions
um yeah fire away in terms of the
actual resolution itself
it only refers to the learn and play
program
learn to play yet yeah so it doesn't um
mention the 10-week rookie league
program and the
10-week girls hockey league program
well all three programs kind of fly
under the banner of the junior ranger
learn to play
program they're just you know three
components that make up the learn to
play program
okay um that that's helpful
to understand um from there
it just i just get a little concerned
where the resolution states that the nhl
subsidizes the entire program
because for the other with the other two
programs
um individual the kids and the families
are required to purchase their own
equipment it's only for learn to play
where
it's completely subsidized so the
resolution
the the equipment part of it okay yeah
so i don't know what yeah rich you think
about that
i mean one thing is is most of the kids
that that
partake with the rookie league they're
the graduates from
they learn to play and they maintain
they keep the equipment
obviously and they utilize it through
the you know through the life of the
program yeah
i i i defer to rich the provision of uh
yeah with regard to the subsidizing or
the uh the proffering of equipment and
things like that we can build into the
agreement some protection
for the city if that's a concern of
yours for sure that's what i plan on
doing anyway
i just wasn't sure if the language of
the resolution itself was misleading
but if it's fine which portion was it
concerned
the fact that the nhl subsidizes the
entire program
i can see it would ultimately fall down
to the actual agreement entered into
between the parties
and i can put in the appropriate regard
okay then my uh my second question goes
uh to
um is there an uh there a budgeted value
for one hour of ice time
that it costs to actually run the
facility
uh i mean in terms of
of what it costs us to operate
for an hour's worth of ice
yeah because you know i look at the
revenue lines we have for the ice arena
which comes to 569 000
and then i look for the expense lines of
the ice arena and it's 662
000. so that means the ice arena
operates at a
loss of 92 theoretically
so i'm just trying to understand it does
this program move the ball
on that on that negative variance at all
yeah this program is well beyond
self-sufficient um
in other words uh the rangers collect
the fees with what they share
with us in terms of of the partnership
and the number of kids that
uh partake in the program um we're well
flushed in terms of
uh this is probably one of our more
profitable uh
adventures that that we you know
ourselves
operate down there you know we certainly
couldn't attract the number of kids that
a program
you know to one of our own camps or
house sleep programs
that that the rangers can attract you
know their marketing brand
brings so many more kids down here uh
you know without covert we can put
you know upwards of 65 70 kids on the
ice
at a time with a program like this and
we're getting reimbursed
at a minimum 125 per player so this
certainly uh for the amount of time that
they use the ice and
the amount of ice that we allocate for
it this is
definitely one of the more profitable uh
benches that we have at the arena
my final question has to do with the um
the
six on ice coaches for each program
that the city at the city supplies are
those in the 310
000 salaries line for the ice arena
they're they're part of our temporary
salary line but that's the way
if we don't supply six it could be
upwards of six
if they're um if the numbers were were
to dictate that
last year we had i think 66 kids in the
program
and we put four instructors on the ice
the rangers provided two and if need be
i i put my skates on and i went out and
helped out so
uh adam at a maximum um for one program
you would have four people
um the girls and learn to play there
they're much much less probably like two
instructors pray
and they're only getting i mean they're
at 20 bucks
for a session so you'll be talking about
80 a night
okay well i'm excited to go check wow
check it out and watch the kids play
thank you joe
you'll be impressed it's a pretty good
program i have no doubt
can we sign karen up and teach it a
cross-check oh gosh no
i'm more
john i only have one question for joe is
uh
65 registered persist participants
um is that a reach a stretch or you'll
be turning people away is it a program
that is
no that you'd be amazed at how quickly
this program
sells out um like i said without covert
we we would take upwards of 65 people
um but you know the the governor has
restrictions with how many people should
be on the ice at a time
uh so we limit it to um you know we'll
normally take for a program like this we
would sign up
36 and we would leave it at that
unfortunately that's just the the nature
of the beast right now
which will obviously result in us
utilizing
less instructors too so it's all
relative um
but hopefully we'll be back sooner and
and and the bigger numbers will be back
and joe how do people find out about
this is it something that uh
the we have a link on the record yeah
it's new york rangers.com
i mean they their advertisements are
everywhere in the arena
you know you it's part of uh the arena
website they can download it from there
but
i mean this is a one of the more
well-known
every nhl team across the country runs
one of these learn to play programs it's
a grassroots efforts
to attract kids to the game and try and
make it you know
get them hooked on a sport at an
affordable price um
obviously then and you know have them as
part of their fan base
for for the rest of their years so um
you turn on a hockey game you hear about
it if you watch a ranger game
i mean you'll see videos from long beach
arena
and ice arena employees on the jumbotron
at a game on tv or commercial breaks um
i mean their marketing cache obviously
is is is so far reaching
um this program starts and and fills up
uh
you know that's more of a problem than
anything is how quickly it does sell
out and joe my last question is what age
brackets are usually involved in these
different programs
uh from like four to ten oh
okay and then the girls are like till
14. four years old okay thank you
yep and then they leave those programs
they graduate and they become part of
like our in-house
uh house league programs so it's so i
mean it greatly impacts the economy of
the arena you know from
from the city standpoint too you know
these kids go to our public sessions
they come to our sticks and parks they
join our house leagues you know they're
recurring customers once we get them in
the building
and thankfully the rangers offer a
program you know that gets them into the
building
well on a final note your long beach if
they feed into the long beach high
school hockey program
um they've done very well they've done
very well so
what do you have two state championships
in the last 10 years
uh well five all together we've got
three uh two in the last one
two of the last two years but then
there's a little bit of a stretch but
five all together well thanks joe
my pleasure mike all right any more
questions from the council
all right seeing none dave we got any
from the public yes we do roy lester
okay i i'm a little confused uh
karen asked a question about us losing
95 000
a year on the ice arena and
if this program was going to take care
of that and
all i really heard was it's a very
profitable program it's a great program
etc
cetera but do we actually make enough do
we make that 95 000 to overcome our
deficit right now
right that's not the part but this
program covers expenses and then some
so john john i'm asking
karen asked the question i'm just
looking for the answer
does this program take into account it's
a great program nobody's saying that
i'm just trying to find out if it takes
care of the 95 000
we're losing right right i i will just
say
that in bringing it up i have full
confidence in joe
and donna and the entire staff who work
to close that deficit
so i have they deserve a chance to do it
we've got a few months left
and i know in my heart that they'll
they'll do everything they can to close
that gap
but is is this the same program we've
had these last few years
yes this program has been in the
building for six plus years
but it's never closed the gap right but
this year you expect karen you're
expected to close the gap this year
no no i'm saying that there are several
programs
and that joe and the team are working to
close that gap
that's why there were rfps issued
throughout earlier in the fall
and they're working feverishly to figure
out how to close that gap this requires
innovation
it requires a lot of dialogue and
discussion and they're they're
turn they're working to turn around
this this model so that it's profitable
going forward
it doesn't it doesn't happen overnight
right but isn't that the whole purpose
of the rfp is because we've had a gap
all these years
but this is only one of many programs
roy so
so i'm sure is that this problem program
runs profitable
so therefore i am comfortable with it
and the the idea is that this is the
model that every single program needs to
have
going forward and i'm just asking about
the money
i nobody's saying anything the program's
great
i'm just asking about the money the
money is
that they're they're working to close
the gap and and if they close it that's
remains to be seen okay thank you
