From Steve Boulet:

Questions about Fusion for the Board Meeting on 6/5/2023:

  • What was the Board’s impression of Fusion’s presentation?  Actually, better stated, lack of presentation.  (No handouts, no PowerPoint, etc.)
  • Using Foiled information – It seems like there have been discussions between Fusion, Meg, Brian, and Lyle about Fusion wanting to have a 24/7 facility at 444 Broadway.  Per Brian’s email on 3/30/2023 Brian states, “I Spoke with the CEO of the company today.  The “stay over” piece of the program is years away from being reality he conceded.”
    • Why was this not mentioned to the public as part of their future plans?
    • It makes sense to me now why the Owner of the plaza talked to me about Mitch’s inquiry to purchase the whole plaza.
      • Does Fusion want to move the other small businesses out and expand?
      • In Lyle’s email to Brian and Meg also dated 3/30/2023:  “Edward from Niko Ventures spoke with Brian Marsh yesterday and in light of the concerns he seemed to raise regarding the hotel use, and the time implication the Fusion CEO shifted the operation to a medical clinic which would be an entirely different use and operation.  The medical clinic would be fully supervised 247/7 by medical professionals including doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and licensed clinicians and counselors all licensed and regulated by NYS.  This would be a for-profit insurance-based clinic.  Stays can be outpatient or longer.  Length of stay at the clinic would be dictated by what would be deemed “medically necessary” pursuant to the medical staff.  Typical stays per the CEO are 1-30 days.  The CEO asked that you reference Sunrise Detox which has multiple locations to get a better sense of the treatment and overall program  Sunrise Detox Admissions / Sunrise Detox Center.  Please feel free to call me at 518-522-5327 with any questions.  I’d also be happy to loop in on Mitchell the CEO to answer questions as desired.  thanks.”
        • Did anyone reference the Sunrise Program?
        • If so, what did you learn?
      • Tim emailed concerns to Chief Ryan St. Gelais on 3/30/2023.  Tim, why did you not start informing the public then or bring this up in a Board meeting before the letter was distributed and the public came to the Board with concerns late in the game?
      • Did anyone on the Board look into anything about Fusion?
    • If Fusion had an obligation to provide Public support in their application and there was a scheduled meeting about this application dated 4/26/2023, why was the public also not notified?
      • In review of the meeting, Tim Lane was present.
      • Was he the only Board member or Resident present?
    • I have heard from a member of the community that Brian Marsh attended to ensure Tim spoke as a resident and not a representative of the Board.
      • I also heard that Meg knew of this meeting and that both Tim and Brian were attending.
    • Why would the Village Board not want the public to provide feedback, concerns, or support for this project?
      • In the April 2022 letter from Michelle Hinchey to Commissioner Cunningham they note that Fusion Recovery Centers began in Central Florida as an 88-bed residential treatment facility founded in 2010.  Their website does not even list this legacy program.  If Mitch is so proud of his innovative model, why is there nothing discoverable about the Central Florida location?
        • I Google searched Fusion Recovery Central Florida and found nothing.
      • During the 4/26/2023 meeting, the original vote was to table the decision and explore further.  Shari Noonan was able to force a 2nd vote by stating this is “nimbyism” and the project should not be delayed due to a sole person in opposition.  OASAS then allowed Fusion’s Board to speak and a 2nd vote was in favor.
        • Sadly, Tim did not speak up to say anything like, while I am the only one present there are numerous residents with concerns.
        • In the rebuttal, Shari was asked what were the falsehoods and she replied, “I am not going to get into them.”
        • If the Board had informed the community (transparency) more people could have provided statements or attended the meetings with the County and State to express their support or concerns.  WE WERE NOT PROVIDED WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY, WHY???
  • On 5/1 in an email to our Code Enforcement Officer, Meg states “This is becoming a nightmare”  telling him about the letter to residents from Tim and Allison.  She then states, “I understand people’s concerns of it turning into a clinic like Central Ave but that wasn’t how this proposed project came across so wasn’t a red flag to me.”
    • Once a fellow Board member had concerns, Meg, why did you not put this topic on the agenda and ask for the public’s response?
    • Better yet, since there is always a possibility that a project will not turn out as planned, why did you not want the public’s view from the start?
    • Or why did you not do some research and inform the public of potential community meetings?
    • Do you think the Central Ave Clinic was presented as a problematic clinic when they wanted to open?
  • Since the majority of the Board is in favor of this project:
  • In review of Fusion’s Application #224043, it states 822 Outpatient Counseling status with future plans to add Medically Supervised Detox and OTP (aka Methadone).  If their focus is not on Methadone, why do you think they have 8 dispensing windows when the other 2 OTPs in Albany bounty have only 4 and 2 at the other?
  • Do you feel they are adequately prepared with a security plan?  To my knowledge, Camino Nuevo employed 9 security guards when they opened, and problems increased when they decreased the number of guards.
    • They also back peddled during the meeting every time someone asked additional questions.  “If you want them armed, we will hire armed guards.”  “We will have someone monitoring the bus stop”.
  • What are Fusion’s complete plans?  From the research I have reviewed, I can only imagine there have been many conversations about what their full vision is for 444 Broadway.

Thanks
Steve Boult
