Councilmembers said the code cleanup (chapter 390) clarifies and standardizes school-zone language and creates a school zone in front of a high school on Broadway that will lower the speed limit Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Members described the overall changes as largely housekeeping, with the committee striking one proposed prohibition and removing a suggested U-turn restriction before forwarding the ordinance to council.

Separately, a councilmember requested two stop signs at the intersection formed by Fairview Avenue, Howland and Fairview Avenue extension, saying drivers do not stop on Howland and that the corner generates unsafe conditions. Councilmembers agreed the stop-sign request was reasonable but said the committee had struck the item from its report and that staff documentation was not in the packet. Multiple members asked that the city engineer or staff submit supporting documentation, such as traffic-safety analysis or accident history, before the council acts on that change.

Councilmembers also discussed a referral to the planning board and Ulster County planning for a rezoning request along Schwink Drive to a T5 Main Street zone and confirmed a public hearing schedule will be set. The council asked that the zoning implementation task force be considered for referrals going forward but noted the referenced resolution did not currently include that referral.

The transcript does not contain a formal recorded roll-call vote; councilmembers indicated assent during the discussion and directed staff to return documentation on the stop-sign request and any traffic studies used to support other changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kingston Common Council June 2025 Caucus 6-2-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Councilmembers cleared a code cleanup ordinance that standardizes school-zone hours (Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–4 p.m.) and creates a new school zone in front of a high school on Broadway, but asked staff for documentation before advancing a stop-sign request at Fairview/Howland intersection removed from the committee report.","taxTitle","Kingston, Ulster County, New York","taxId",68507,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6214700,"Kingston to apply for state grants for culvert upgrades, waterfront and pump station resilience",57,556000,613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3665836-1221d2b6caa9a856981929e1760ea757&start=556&end=613","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3665836-1221d2b6caa9a856981929e1760ea757/thumbnail_556000.jpg","/articles/6214700/Kingston/Ulster-County/New-York/Kingston-to-apply-for-state-grants-for-culvert-upgrades-waterfront-and-pump-station-resilience","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214700-fe2149dbbdde17a5a7bb144f6ea50bb4/orig.mp4?Expires=1776404462&Signature=cyJ2YBibdYc0k98pEUjYn2kSloHVAqejkTx0TPu0bxCCknm6pkNSltAT3zhgxhxIIfj8481c~Z~dXwipDCeMrVqJpzH6~w2cdBWVNkwzRmEaRaQpq5yEj3udWiJBjtnyeTAi8ZkzsuHpBdlmvoDLPpe0TtrX3HmLAi06Ce6dmT8y~H5mV~skOCm0y4aW2SgljKsXc8eKdR~yUis1SF7OVg1pUMDnqpLb4XRqZbjkw4OGpEs9YzwsqeRYkUUlibXGatPMe-MrZdlvs-22vJnEHH9RKN6YZtNZHop6mwXgVox6ezoO8FHV6-NVQSCdkoCwVffOBlKfABjmv~4MGfTOkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kingston Common Council authorized the mayor to submit applications for several state resilience and waterfront grants on Monday, including a Resilient New York grant, a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) implementation grant, and a coastal rehabilitation and resilience grant.

The council reviewed a resolution to apply to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for a Resilient NY grant of $2,502,000 to fund replacement of 12 steel-and-brick culverts on Broome Street, Chapel Street and Wilbur Street. City staff said the project would upgrade the culverts to handle a 100-year flood standard rather than a 50-year standard; councilmembers noted that a successful award would likely carry a local match requirement.

Separately, the council reviewed a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program implementation grant application for improvements at Kingston Point Beach and related facilities. The meeting packet lists the LWRP implementation amount as $1,000,000,000; councilmembers authorized the application and asked staff to confirm grant details in the packet before final execution of documents.

The council also authorized the mayor to submit an application to the New York State Department of State for up to $1,300,000 for a coastal rehabilitation and resilience grant tied to the mayor's pump station project.

No detailed vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript; multiple councilmembers verbally indicated assent during the roll through the resolutions. Councilmembers asked staff to confirm potential local match obligations and grant conditions before the city executes related contracts or accepts awards.","Council authorized the mayor to apply for multiple New York State grants: a Resilient NY grant for culvert replacement ($2,502,000 as stated), a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program application (listed in packet as $1,000,000,000), and a Department of State coastal resilience grant up to $1,300,000 for a pump station project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6214705,"Council asks state to deny owner request to exempt Stoney Run from Emergency Tenant Protection Act",256,1120000,1376000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3665836-1221d2b6caa9a856981929e1760ea757&start=1120&end=1376","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3665836-1221d2b6caa9a856981929e1760ea757/thumbnail_1120000.jpg","/articles/6214705/Kingston/Ulster-County/New-York/Council-asks-state-to-deny-owner-request-to-exempt-Stoney-Run-from-Emergency-Tenant-Protection-Act","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214705-cb54afdf72728f98806491f9db4c0cd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1776404462&Signature=U8onKp2eisDWZkXdoN117vm5Dkeeo5Cu-lvY9L~oh5uetS4rMAgummuMDx3y4IjcwjEFl4jcalNJIqpqKgfKylV0NqsiED7RBkeFMWZcbldsszOOfX2h3t1V4aIBxEO4nbHQHrnCo48rrMNmwFhg6oUbvJuALDP3PCG3-ovROo3uPS~HPrxPK0olu0GCAsj~jASLQiiyxr1oBtXndo-7Ax9vZmc~8Ch96~OphMbNz2kg6LQqQZm1ETyPi1q5yFyvYOGRebbTJNMtDvTbABKNLXflwwXRKnuO0kxK2g4cZcX2RUc7ws7OZ9FDfsKWdTNBcsbPEGKW~oZRkpYihg5iUA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kingston Common Council on Monday adopted a resolution asking the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal to deny an application from the owners of the Stoney Run apartment complex to exempt a share of units from the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 (ETPA).

The resolution, introduced during the council's business meeting, says some tenants at Stoney Run are protected under a regulatory agreement and that the owners' exemption request appears to conflict with that agreement. Council members asked the Community Development Committee to review the regulatory agreement and report back on compliance and the status of the property since the agreement was signed.

Council members said the regulatory agreement predates the current council and that protected-unit status is part of the existing paperwork for the property. One councilmember told colleagues the application to the state seeks to remove ETPA protections for some units, a change the resolution asks the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to deny. The council also requested a maintenance and tenancy status update from staff to clarify which tenants remain protected under the agreement.

No formal vote tally was recorded on the meeting transcript; council members expressed assent during the discussion and the resolution moved forward. The council said the community development review is intended to establish what actions, if any, the city or state should take next and to identify any spillover effects on other properties with regulatory agreements.

Background materials noted by councilmembers include the unit-protection language in the Stoney Run regulatory agreement and the pending application before the state agency. Councilmembers requested staff follow up with documentation on tenant protections and the owners' request to the state.","The Kingston Common Council approved a resolution asking the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal to deny an application by the owners of the Stoney Run apartment complex to exempt a portion of units from the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, and asked staff to review the property's regulatory agreement.","actionData","errors"]
