Summary

The Poughkeepsie Common Council on Feb. 4 opened a public hearing to receive comments on a proposed local law to amend City administrative code Sections 15.02 and 15.03 concerning the requirement for prior written notice of an alleged defect.
A council member read the notice into the record and said one constituent was present to comment. Council members discussed scheduling and timing for receiving that comment, including a suggestion to move an attorney-client meeting earlier because the executive-session matter is an attorney-client privilege exception and would not require opening and closing during the public meeting.
One council member asked whether the group needed to vote to move to the other meeting; the transcript records a clarification that no formal vote had been taken on that agreement. The council did not complete the public comment portion for this item in the provided excerpt; the clerk indicated that the single constituent would be given an opportunity to speak after the other meeting business concluded.
No final legislative action on the proposed administrative-code amendments is recorded in the transcript excerpt.
