individuals are limited to two minutes.
Commissioner Scirocco opened the public comment period at 7:00 p.m.
Al Turkheimer of Woodlawn Avenue stated the homeless population should have a census taken as not all
are from Saratoga Springs. This is a county wide issue. He also stated the Recreation Department should
be funded fully and they should not be collecting money for parking as the money does not get to the right
place. He stated Spectrum is charging for installation of cable into your house even if you are wired and
also charges you $5 to enroll in automatic pay.
Darlene McGraw of Saratoga Springs stated the City is open 365 days a year not just for track season.
There are no parking spaces in this area for home aids to get to their clients’ home.
