He said the visitor asked directions from locals who responded by saying "You don't belong here". Mayor Wray said that this attitude is not representative of the Village and should not be tolerated. �CENSUS REPORT: Complete Count Committee Chairs, Char Weigel and Diana Loja joined the meeting. The census response from the Village is below average and the Committee is trying to come up with ways to get better participation. The inner-village in particular has poor participation. One of the problems is that the Committee members have not been able to do a lot of outreach due to the pandemic. There was a discussion regarding ways to get the community more involved. The census deadline has been extended to October 31, 2020. FIREWORKS: The Board discussed alternate dates for the fireworks. There was an agreement that Labor Day weekend would be the best time to have them rescheduled assuming restrictions on crowds is lifted by then. The Board wanted to make sure that the fireworks can be cancelled if this were to happen. Mr. Giaccio said that the Village can cancel the fireworks contract on 30 days notice. Mayor Wray asked that this item be on the next Board meeting agenda. EVENT CANCELATIONS: Trustee Gonzalez started the discussion about upcoming events. A six month plan has been submitted by each of the department heads. The Village Board will need to consider a variety of issues when making decisions. These include public events, parks restart and ways to help local businesses. Several of the items discussed involve recreation programs and events and so the Board asked that Recreation Superintendent, Matt Arone to attend the next meeting. The Board will continue discussing these items on a weekly basis. RESTAURANT AND BUSINESS ASSISTANCE: Trustee Leavy asked how the Village can help struggling business especially restaurants, that have been hurt by the pandemic. Trustee Leavy would like the Village Attorney to look at what can be done legally to help them. Discussion ensued. BEEKMAN AVENUE SIDEWALKS: Mr. Giaccio informed the Board that it will be necessary to reject the bid the Beekman Avenue Sidewalk Project. Only one bid was received for a second time. Mr. Giaccio recommends that the project be rebid in the fall. Mayor Wray asked that this item be placed on the next Board meeting agenda. At 8:00 the work session was adjourned.
