Jamestown City Council President Tony Dolce

January 23rd, 2023 12:00am | Duration: 14:58

This week, our Terry Frank talks with Jamestown City Council President Tony Dolce on a number of topics, including what council is looking forward to in 2023. Dolce says allocating the rest of what remains of the city's 28-million dollars in American Rescue Plan Act funding remains front and center. He adds that, depending on what lawmakers learn about discrepancies in the money put into the Senior Housing Improvement Program, they will likely put in the money needed to cover all, eligible projects. We also discuss the fact that 2023 is an election year. Dolce acknowledges that he's a potential mayoral candidate, but, maintained that he's not reached a final decision on that, as he is still teaching at Jamestown High School. However... he does say that the city's Republican Committee plans on fielding a candidate this Fall against incumbant Mayor Eddie Sundquist, who recently announced he's running for re-election. Dolce adds that all seven current GOP council members appear to be running for re-election. If he doesn't run for mayor, Dolce may again run to represent the second-ward again.

Our Terry Frank speaks with Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist this week on a number of topics, including last week's visit by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer to the site of the Crawford Furniture Factory fire last November. Schumer announced he'll be pushing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to expedite the environmental review, and clean-up of the former factory site. Mayor Sundquist says most of the solvents, varnishes and other materials were cleaned out of the structure over the previous year or so, but, there's still onsite contamination. Schumer says there's also the reinstated Superfund Cleanup Tax that would be available to allow the EPA to take the factory owners to court and sue for damages. We also discuss the fact the city's Senior Housing Improvement Program funded by American Rescue Plan Act funding has spent it's 1.5-million dollars, but, some 63 projects still need money, and there's some confusion over whether the city requested the 1.5-million or 1.8-million for the program. We also talk about Sundquist's decision, and recent announcement that he's running for a second-term in office.

2022 Local Year in Review

January 3rd, 2023 12:00am | Duration: 15:50

Our Terry Frank looks back on the past year... and, highlights several stories... including the two main ones: Public Safety and the Homeless Crisis. In the area of public safety... City Council President Tony Dolce hosted a forum in September that drew a large crowd of people. However... one of the main topics ended up being the number of homeless, and what to do with them. Mayor Eddie Sundquist says the number of homeless people had skyrocketed in recent months for several reasons. One was the cost of housing and other items, and the other was the ending of the state's Eviction Moratorium put in place during the COVID Pandemic. As for public safety... we discuss the increase in gun violence in the city, and Chief Tim Jackson noted it's been everywhere - "not just one or two places." We also spotlight the major fire at the former Crawford Furniture factory building just outside the city. The drug crisis is also highlighted with a Fla. woman being arrested late last year after being found with nearly 10 pounds of Fentanyl pills in her possession. We also look at economic development... and, the landing of lithiun-ion battery producer Electrovaya in Jamestown's Mason Industrial Park... and, a new owner purchasing Wells Enterprises in Dunkirk.

Our Terry Frank catches up with Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist after he had to cancel last week. We discuss the recently approved overrides of Sundquist's five vetoes... and, says he's disappointed that no amendments were offered until well after the deadline for them. Most disappointing, according to the mayor, was comments by some lawmakers about "errors" in putting the budget together. He adds that his finance team worked hard to get a spending plan together despite losing Comptroller Ryan Thompson. His replacement, John Sellstrom, is also leaving city government. Sundquist says he's most disappointed by council adding 75,000 to the amount of revenue to be raised through sales tax, but, it "sets the city up for failure." He also discusses recent news about the West Third Street Streetscape Project that will involve putting new trees and lights in... and, he adds those are starting to come in to the city. We also discuss the clean-up of the former Crawford Furniture Plant hit by a massive fire last month. He says they had already begun working with federal and state partners to clean-up the site before anything happened. However... he says the clean-up may cost upwards of 1-million dollars or more.

News Director Terry Frank talks with Chautauqua County Executive P.J. Wendel about an emergency water leak that just occured that morning at the county's Hall Clothier Building in Mayville. Wendel says it was a problem with a water line that goes to the HVAC on top of the building, causing significant water damage to the upper three-floors of the building. However... the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, and the Board of Elections are able to remain operational. Wendel says that's important because the BOE is one of four locations in the county. The basement and first-floors remained closed for a time. We also discuss the final approved budget for 2023... which Wendel signed the morning after it was approved by the county legislature. He says they do have funding to cover the additional cost of providing drug addiction recovery services at the jail in Mayville.

Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist

October 17th, 2022 12:00am | Duration: 14:45

This week, News Dir. Terry Frank talks with Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist about three different matters -- the first being his 2023 budget proposal, which totals 38.6-million dollars. Sundquist says his finance team worked hard on the spending plan, which includes no tax rate increase. That means the rate would remain 23.69 dollars per 1,000 dollars full value. However... there is an increase of 6-percent in the budget. He adds it is a balanced budget that only relies on 250-thousand dollars in undesignated fund balance. The City Council will begin budget talks shortly, and a final spending plan is due by Dec. 1. We also get a homeless update... and, Sundquist says planning meetings are continuing with human service providers, and the faith-based community. He says they have also brought a medical component into the equation for the homeless who have health care needs. Right now, they are working with larger local churches to see who might be able to house people who don't have a place to live during the colder weather months. We also discuss efforts to provide more American Rescue Plan Act funding for the city's Senior Home Improvement Program... which has long-exhausted it's initial 500,000 dollars in funding.

There was no in-studio guest this week, so we air Chautauqua County Executive P.J. Wendel's 2023 budget address to the legislature and public during the monthly legislature voting session. Wendel outlines the fact the county is in a strong position coming out of the COVID Pandemic, and he has a "solid and balanced" budget plan, totaling 277.6-million dollars. He says there is some added spending for such capital project items as new snowplows for the Dept. of Public Facilities, and a new multi-purpose athletic field at Jamestown Community College. However, while the tax levy is up about 2.76-million dollars... the tax rate would fall by 30-cents per 1,000 dollars full value. Wendel says the budget does use about 4.5-million in undesignated fund balance... including about 3.6-million dollars for the added capital projects.

We air portions of comments from introductory remarks, and the question and answer session to Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce held last Friday morning with Congressman Joe Sempolinski. During the program at Moonbrook Country Club -- just north of Jamestown -- Sempolinski discussed hitting the ground running in Congress after being sworn-in on Sept. 13 in Washington. He noted that a lot of the early work has involved reestablishing the 23 Districts satelite offices in Jamestown, Olean, Geneva, and elsewhere. Constituent services were a big part of what Sempolinski dealt with as an aide for former Congressman Tom Reed, who left office earlier this year. He says the House has voted on about two-dozen bills since he officially took office, and he managed Republican floor debate on two of them. He expressed concern on a number of fronts, including the deficit rung up the past two-years, due in part to the pandemic, as well as what he said was out of control spending. While he's pushing for more accountability, he says this pattern has been around for a few decades now, and changing that habit won't occur overnight. Sempolinski also talked about being assigned to the Education and Budget Committees during the hour-long program.

Our Terry Frank talks with Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist this week on mainly two topics: the rising number of homeless people, and the 2023 city budget proposal. The homeless issue came up during City Council President Tony Dolce's Public Safety and Neighborhood Forum last week as an issue. Sundquist says he met with more than 60 local clergy and pastors about the problem, and how to deal with it. He says these homeless wound up that way for a number of reasons, with one of the big ones the end to the eviction moratorium in New York state. Sundquist says he's trying to link the faith community with local service providers to help those people out. On the budget, Sundquist says the city is facing a number of challenges, including reductions in sales tax as the economy slows due to inflation. He says there's also the loss of 1-million dollars in state aid funding. However, Sundquist adds that the city will be saving money with 60% to 70% of it's Medicare-eligible retirees moving off the city's self-insured plan, and onto full Medicare.

Our Terry Frank speaks this week with Chief Communications and Marketing Officer David Albert with the New York State School Boards Association about what should be a fairly "normal" start to the school year. That's after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled in-person instruction for several months... and, then led to special protocols once in-person learning resumes. Albert says more than three-quarters of all 668 New York state school districts are using American Rescue Plan Act funding to deal with issues ranging from "COVID Slide..." to hiring more bus drivers. Many districts are also addressing mental health and other socio-economic issues with their ARPA funding. Nationally... the pandemic accelerated the loss of many teachers who either retired, or went into something different. However... Albert says while districts are looking to hire more teachers, the biggest shortage is in bus drivers. Some districts are offering more pay, and using job fairs to bring in potential applicants. Most schools in the region begin the 2022-23 school year next Tuesday, Sept. 6.

This week, Chautauqua County Office for Aging Services Director Mary Ann Spanos joins our Terry Frank to discuss a number of senior, and elderly resident issues. First, though, we talk about her recently being awarded a NYS "Woman of Distinction" designation through State Senator George Borrello. Spanos called it an honor and validation of the work she's doing for the county. We discuss programming, and where things are as the COVID-19 Pandemic winds down. Most programs are back up and running, through member agencies, but, some will not take place -- including the annual Senior Picnic at Midway Park. Dr. Spanos says that may return in the form of smaller picnics at different places in the county. She adds that a big reason is lack of staff, because they are still down five employees from the pandemic. We also discuss Elder Fraud and Abuse, which remain big issues for seniors... including a local program on Elder Fraud co-hosted with Sen. Borrello on July 15.

Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy's Twan Leenders

June 27th, 2022 12:00am | Duration: 14:45

This week we present portions of a presentation by the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy's Twan Leenders to the Jamestown City Council about completion of the first-phase of the Chadakoin River Clean-up project from the Warner Dam to the Falconer village line. Leenders says that was successful in removing several logs and trees that had fallen into the river, with minimal impact on the shoreline areas. However... he did warn that they found three major areas of infestation by the invasive "Tree of Heaven" tree species that tends to crowd-out other trees and vegetation. He says the species also draws another invasive species of insect called "Spotted Lanternfly..." which is very destructive to fruit plants and trees -- including grapes -- which are a major crop along the Lake Erie shoreline. Leenders urged city lawmakers to use another 17,760 dollars in American Rescue Plan Act funding to properly eradicate the "Tree of Heaven" that also eliminates it's root system.

New York State Assemblyman Andy Goodell joins our Terry Frank to give his perspective on the recently concluded state legislative session. Goodell says there were some positives that came from the session... namely that some change was made to the state's Bail Reform Laws. The Jamestown-area Republican says that allows bail to be set for someone who is out of jail on an appearance ticket, and is to appear on that charge, can be jailed if there's a repeat offense. He says there were still some in the Democratic majority that did not support that change. Other more meaningful changes were not brought forth, nor acted on. Goodell is also critical of the state legislature acting on additional restrictions on guns, and allowing abortions up to the point of one-day before birth. He says the new measures are definate reactions to the recent mass shootings in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, Tex... as well as a leaked draft document from the U.S. Supreme Court on overturning Roe versus Wade. We also discuss issues surrounding environmental and climate change legislation.

Mayor Eddie Sundquist of Jamestown joins our Terry Frank this week to discuss a number of topics, including a recent presentation by he, and Jamestown School District Superintendent Kevin Whitaker about a new, shared services agreement to increase sidewalk plowing around the schools. The city council was presented with a plan to have the district provide 306,000 dollars for the purchase of two new plows, and the city would use American Rescue Plan Act funding for the approximately 680,000 dollars to hire two new city parks laborers to run them. Those two workers would work in the parks dept. otherwise. Sundquist says a big part of the agreement would have the district provide the main areas students are walking from, and the primary routes to school. Sundquist adds that the city recently received it's second traunche of ARPA funding, totaling 14-million dollars. He also discusses being in The Bronx recently for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's signing of gun control legislation in the wake of shootings in Buffalo, NY, and Evalde, Tex. He believes they're a good start, and says Jamestown has not been immune to gun violence.

News Director Terry Frank interviews Chautauqua County Executive P.J. Wendel on the fact the county and New York state's gasoline tax holiday had an immediate impact on prices. On May 31st, the average price was up to 4.79.9 cents per gallon for regular, unleaded. That fell on June 1st to 4.56-4.58 a gallon. Wendel called that a bit of a surprise because the tax holiday wasn't to begin until the next shipments of gas. However... it's been inching back up since then. We also discuss the recent, reported losses of ImmunityBio, LLC, which is moving forward in leasing out the Athenex pharmacutical plant in the town of Dunkirk.

Rowland is the still-new director of St. Susan's, and talked about the transition, and the fact the need is as great now for their services that ever before the pandemic. They have 87 coin canisters out in the community for people to put loose change into. They also have a number of sponsors who have chipped in various amounts... with many contributing at least 500-dollars to the effort. A hot dog sale will be held in the BPU parking lot on June 3.

Mayor Eddie Sundquist of Jamestown joins our Terry Frank to discuss a number of issues, including a recent joint announcement with city council members and the police and fire chiefs to boost public safety in the city. That includes three new police officers, and once that's done, to create a "gun violence unit" to deal with an increase in that safety problem. There would also be four new city firefighters added to man a second ambulance in the city due to the huge increase the past two years in EMS calls.

Our Terry Frank speaks with Chautauqua County Executive P.J. Wendel on a number of topics, including his trip to Albany for a meeting last week with the New York State Municipal Insurance Reciprocal. Wendel is the county executive appointee to the panel. He says their work has benefited the county in a number of ways... including ethics and cyber security training that saves the county up to 50,000 a year. We also discuss the recent spikes in local gasoline prices, and how that may impact the county with the legislature approving a 3-dollar a gallon cap on the gas tax. Wendel says that's his biggest concern heading into June 1, when both the state and local tax suspension begins. Both will last through the end of the year. He says sales tax revenues may help offset some of those losses. Wendel adds that pipes are beginning to be put into the ground along Route 394 in North Harmony to provide "closed sewer" services along the western side of Chautauqua Lake.

Presentation on Municipal Broadband in Jamestown

April 25th, 2022 12:00am | Duration: 13:40

We feature segments of this past week's public meeting on the feasibility of establishing a Municipal Broadband Program in the city of Jamestown. City officials hosted the meeting with consultant Jeff Christensen of Entry Point Networks from Salt Lake City, Utah. Mayor Eddie Sundquist says providing lower cost, but, reliable and faster Internet access was a goal of his when he was first elected in 2019. However, Sundquist says the issue came to the fore during the COVID-19 pandemic when students were having to learn remotely, and many people worked remotely. Christensen says his company is currently working with 35 communities to put municipal broadband in place. He modeled a program that would allow "open access" at a price starting at 54 a month. He and Sundquist fielded several questions about the costs, and what would happen if the fiber optic network was too costly to put in place, or became to expensive to run. Sundquist is now in the process of establishing a City Broadband Commission to futher investigate the matter. To apply or express interest, he says go on-line to Jamestownfiber.com.

He talks with Doug Champ about the many changes that are coming to energy, and the way it's produced in New York state, and the U.S. in general. Champ believes the state is not going to be ready for initial changes to renewables by 2030, or thereafter. He says renewables definately has their positives, but, also have negatives. He says solar takes advantage of "free energy" from the sun. However, he says it's only able to draw power during day-light hours. In addition, he says solar requires huge arrays to be able to power any more than a few hundred homes. Champ also says wind has it's drawbacks, but, the state is pushing ahead. Electric storage from both is also an issue right now. He adds there are now three charges showing up on residents electric bill that are going towards paying for the conversion. They are rec (renewable energy costs), zrc (zero emission charges), and oric for wind energy. We also talk about the fact that hydropower is not part of the state's future plans.

Hochul early this weekend extended that mandate to Feb. 10. We also discuss the Farm Labor Overtime Mandate change from 60 hours to 40 hours a week. That was approved after a year of debate and hearings by a state agriculture commission... and, now goes to the state Labor Commissioner for final approval. Borrello says it will hurt farmers, and farm workers. We also further discuss Gov. Hochul's budget proposal. He is encouraged because she is calling for a new tax credit for farmers that would have difficulty with the new labor mandate. We also discuss his being reappointed as the Ranking Republican member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and other assignments for 2022.
