Poughkeepsie Common Council approves budget reallocation, local landmark designation and zoning corrections on consent agenda
Summary
On the consent agenda the council approved R2526 (budget reallocation for DPW positions), R2527 (designation of 52 South Hamilton/Vassar Warner Home as a local historic landmark) and Local Law LL2052 to amend zoning code footnote and definitions.
The City of Poughkeepsie Common Council approved three consent-agenda items: a budget amendment to reallocate funding for certain positions in the Department of Public Works (Resolution R2526), designation of 52 South Hamilton Street (Vassar Warner Home) as a local historic landmark (Resolution R2527), and a local law to amend the city zoning code by removing a footnote at section 19-3.32C and correcting definitions (LL2052).
Council members voted on the consent agenda without extended debate. The chamberlain read the items and, after a motion and second, the council recorded ayes with no recorded noes or abstentions in the meeting transcript.

The motion was approved as part of the consent agenda.
