You may be seated. 7 First order of business is presentation of the Chief. 8 Wayne Miller is here with us. 9 CHIEF MILLER: How are you doing? You want me 10 to start or you want to start? You to questions for 11 me? 12 MAYOR HUBBARD: Well, let's sit down, we'll go 13 over it. Yeah, if they have questions. If you got 14 stuff, you want to bring up your stuff first, and 15 then we'll answer back with questions. 16 CHIEF MILLER: Okay. First thing, I know you 17 read the Warden's report seeking to have permission 18 to -- seeking your permission to go out for bid for 19 two Chiefs cars to replace two vehicles that have 20 quite a few miles on them, over 150 -- over 120,000 21 miles on them. So we're probably -- we're not 22 deciding what we're going to do with those cars yet, 23 but eventually surplus them or sell them for whatever 24 we could get for them. 25 MAYOR HUBBARD: Okay. Flynn Stenography & Transcription Service (631) 727-1107 Work Session 2/18/16 3 1 CHIEF MILLER: We're going to take my Chiefs 2 car and that's going to become the 80 car, and then 3 we'll have -- 4 MAYOR HUBBARD: Explain the 80 car to the other 5 people. 6 CHIEF MILLER: Okay. 80 car is the First 7 Responder car that carries medical equipment, AED, 8 stuff like that. Usually one of the members take it 9 home and he'll have it for the night. If there's a 10 call, he'll respond. That's what that's used for. 11 MAYOR HUBBARD: Okay. And you plan on funding 12 that out of the Apparatus Replacement Account? 13 CHIEF MILLER: Yes. I sat down with Robert 14 today and we went over that. 15 MAYOR HUBBARD: Okay. 16 CHIEF MILLER: We know we're buying the 17 ambulance. There's sufficient funding there to take 18 care of that. 19 MAYOR HUBBARD: Your motion didn't say that, 20 that's why I'm just double-checking. 21 CHIEF MILLER: Right, yeah. 22 MAYOR HUBBARD: Okay. 23 CHIEF MILLER: But that's my plan. 24 MAYOR HUBBARD: Okay. 25 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: How old are those cars? Flynn Stenography & Transcription Service (631) 727-1107 Work Session 2/18/16 4 1 CHIEF MILLER: I think Harry's car is a 2003, I 2 want to say. 3 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Oh, wow. 4 CHIEF MILLER: And the 80 car that we have now 5 is like 2000 or 2001, something like that. So, I 6 mean, they're pretty well used up. 7 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Like between 15 and 20,000 8 miles a year? 9 CHIEF MILLER: I don't know. You'd have to do 10 the math. I don't -- they both have over 100,000 on 11 them, so -- and they constantly need attention, so. 12 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Right. 13 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: Wayne, there is in here a -- 14 there is a request for a resolution for a budget 15 modification for $4,000. You still want that to go 16 through? 17 CHIEF MILLER: Yes. 18 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: Okay. 19 CHIEF MILLER: Rob and I sat down today, we 20 went over the budget. I know it was a little -- it 21 was supposed to be in a little sooner, but we plugged 22 in the numbers together, so he's got that, if you -- 23 TREASURER BRANDT: Even though it worked about 24 the same. 25 CHIEF MILLER: All right. Flynn Stenography & Transcription Service (631) 727-1107 Work Session 2/18/16 5 1 TREASURER BRANDT: I already got -- there's a 2 lot a feedback. 3 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: Yeah, there is a lot of 4 feedback, for some reason. 5 CHIEF MILLER: But we plugged all the numbers 6 in. There was a couple of line items that I had 7 increased because of one of the ramps out front, we 8 replaced those. So I got an estimate from a man of 9 like 70,000, but I'm looking more towards 100,000, 10 because we're going to do the ones at Station 2 also, 11 so. 12 TRUSTEE ROBINS: Who did you get a bid from? 13 I'm curious. 14 CHIEF MILLER: It was just a quick one, just 15 over -- 16 TREASURER BRANDT: That will be in the next -- 17 TRUSTEE ROBINS: Oh, okay. 18 CHIEF MILLER: The guy that did some cement 19 work here before. 20 TRUSTEE ROBINS: Okay. 21 CHIEF MILLER: So I just wanted a ballpark 22 figure so I could budget for that. But once you get 23 to prevailing wage and all that stuff, it's going to 24 be -- 25 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: Expensive. Flynn Stenography & Transcription Service (631) 727-1107 Work Session 2/18/16 6 1 CHIEF MILLER: -- 100,000. We're looking at 2 six inches of concrete. So this is for the whole -- 3 for that whole front ramp, so it's not going to be 4 cheap. 5 And then we raised -- we raised the Medical 6 Supply Fund. I put -- added another 10,000 to that, 7 because we spent about 25,000 this year so far, and 8 it was budgeted for 15, so I raised that up another 10. 9 There's a lot of expense when it comes to 10 buying Narcan. Narcan is like $500 a pop, and we 11 used -- we used three of them recently on a call, so. 12 And then a lot of the other stuff is expiring, they 13 all have expiration dates on them. So Mike Richter 14 is up on that, so he's been filling me in on that. 15 And he said there's things that are coming in now 16 that never used to have expirations dates, but now 17 they do, so. 18 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: Things are changing. 19 MAYOR HUBBARD: Okay. 20 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Speaking of Narcan, did we 21 officially tell you guys about the training on March 22 31st at the Schoolhouse? 23 CHIEF MILLER: I heard of it. I saw it, I 24 think, on Facebook or something, or someone's page, 25 something on it. Flynn Stenography & Transcription Service (631) 727-1107 Work Session 2/18/16 7 1 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Yeah. Can we officially tell 2 the Fire Department about the -- Michael's Hope? 3 CLERK PIRILLO: Of course. It's in my -- it's 4 in my announcements. 5 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Is it? Okay. 6 CLERK PIRILLO: On that section as well. 7 Chief, we're having a civilian Narcan training 8 session. 9 CHIEF MILLER: Okay. 10 CLERK PIRILLO: It's going to be at the Old 11 Schoolhouse on March 31st from 5:30 to 7:30. It's 12 courtesy of Paul Maffetone of Michael's Hope. 13 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: And I talked to a couple of 14 people last Saturday and informed them. I don't know 15 how you -- if you can announce it to everybody. 16 CHIEF MILLER: Yeah, we could put that out 17 there and let everybody know. 18 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: They're giving out free 19 Narcan, up to 50 or 60 free Narcan kits. 20 CHIEF MILLER: And who's paying for all that? 21 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: They have a donor who does 22 that. Yeah, they've raised money through Michael's 23 Hope. 24 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: By the way, Wayne, did you 25 bring the cold weather for Saturday, last Saturday? Flynn Stenography & Transcription Service (631) 727-1107 Work Session 2/18/16 8 1 CHIEF MILLER: Last Saturday? No, that wasn't 2 me, not at all. 3 (Laughter) 4 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: I would like to say thank 5 you. We all marched, but you all guys -- I mean, all 6 of the Fire Department members really came up to the 7 plate when we got to the Firehouse and made us get 8 warm with the hotdogs and the chowder. 9 CHIEF MILLER: Yeah. It's always a nice event, 10 you know. I mean, ever since I was a little kid, I 11 always came out to watch it, you know, so I'm proud 12 to march in the parade. 13 TRUSTEE PHILLIPS: It's a tradition in 14 Greenport and I'm glad to see it go. I was extremely 15 excited to see the young children, although they got 16 to ride in the fire truck instead of marching -- 17 TRUSTEE ROBERTS: Yeah, that was pretty cool.

SUITE 700 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036 T: 202-822-6090 F: 202-822-6094 E-MAIL: [email protected] Table of Contents I. Introduction 1 II. Executive summary and Conclusions 5 III. Detailed Findings 10 A. The context of indigent defense 10 B. Right to counsel : the bedrock of due process 18 C. Impressions of public defenders and the system of indigent defense 23 Improving the system 30 E. Communications to build support for indigent defense 34 BELDEN RUSSONELLO & STEWART Introduction The adversarial nature of our justice system relies on the assurance that everyone who is accused of a crime is entitled to representation in court. Therefore, defendants who cannot afford an attorney are provided one at no cost. This traditional element of due process is of vital importance in maintaining fairness in the criminal justice system. Today, however, the system of providing counsel through public defenders and court-appointed lawyers is in a weakened state. Public defenders and court- appointed lawyers are operating within dwindling budgets and resources. Public defenders find themselves not only needing to defend their clients against criminal charges, but also the value of their own role in due process. In this context, the Open Society Institute (OSI) and the National Legal Aid and Defender Association (NLADA) asked Belden Russonello & Stewart (BRS) to investigate public opinions about due process and the role of lawyers who represent indigent criminal defendants.

    SONGS FOR WAITERS: A LYRICAL PLAY IN TWO ACTS Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in English By Andrew Eberly Dayton, Ohio May, 2012 SONGS FOR WAITERS: A LYRICAL PLAY IN TWO ACTS Name: Eberly, Andrew M. APPROVED BY: ___________________ Albino Carillo, M.F.A. Faculty Advisor ____________________ John P. McCombe, Ph.D. Faculty Reader ____________________ Andrew Slade, Ph.D. Faculty Reader ii ABSTRACT SONGS FOR WAITERS: A LYRICAL PLAY IN TWO ACTS Name: Eberly, Andrew M. University of Dayton Advisor: Albino Carillo, M.F.A. Through the creative mediums of lyrical poetry, monologues, and traditional dramatic scenes, Songs for Waiters concerns an owner and two employees at an urban bar/restaurant. Through their work, their interactions with the public and each other, and reflecting on their own lives, the three men unpack contemporary debates on work, violence, and sexuality. The use of lyrical poetry introduces the possibility of these portions of the play being put to music in a performance setting, as the play is written to be workshopped and performed live in the future. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………….…………..…iii ACT I…………………………………………………………………………...…………1 ACT II……………………………………………………………………………………35 iv ACT I The play begins with no actors onstage. The set consists of café tables upstage right and left and a bar upstage center. The décor is that of a classic bar with some history. The bar is George’s—known for good food. It’s independent, casual, eclectic, open late, and located on High Street in Columbus, Ohio.

  • Abstract Humanities Jordan Iii, Augustus W. B.S. Florida
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JORDAN III, AUGUSTUS W. B.S. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, 1994 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1998 THE IDEOLOGICAL AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURES OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: A STUDY OF SELECTED HIP-HOP ARTISTS Advisor: Dr. Viktor Osinubi Dissertation Dated May 2009 This study examined the discourse of selected Hip-Hop artists and the biographical aspects of the works. The study was based on the structuralist theory of Roland Barthes which claims that many times a performer’s life experiences with class struggle are directly reflected in his artistic works. Since rap music is a counter-culture invention which was started by minorities in the South Bronx borough ofNew York over dissatisfaction with their community, it is a cultural phenomenon that fits into the category of economic and political class struggle. The study recorded and interpreted the lyrics of New York artists Shawn Carter (Jay Z), Nasir Jones (Nas), and southern artists Clifford Harris II (T.I.) and Wesley Weston (Lii’ Flip). The artists were selected on the basis of geographical spread and diversity. Although Hip-Hop was again founded in New York City, it has now spread to other parts of the United States and worldwide. The study investigated the biography of the artists to illuminate their struggles with poverty, family dysfunction, aggression, and intimidation. 1 The artists were found to engage in lyrical battles; therefore, their competitive discourses were analyzed in specific Hip-Hop selections to investigate their claims of authorship, imitation, and authenticity, including their use of sexual discourse and artistic rivalry, to gain competitive advantage.
