Caucus reviews edits to city property-disposition policy; requests revised draft reflect committee report
Summary
The Kingston caucus discussed proposed edits to the city's disposition policy for surplus property, asked that finance-committee review language be included in the policy text, and requested court-counsel or staff provide an updated version before the council vote.
City of Kingston Common Council caucus members examined a proposed revision to the city’s policy governing disposition of surplus city-owned property and asked staff to ensure the policy text matches the committee report’s intent.
Meeting discussion noted that the finance committee is intended to act as the disposition review committee, but the version of the policy attached to the resolution did not reflect that insertion. Councilmembers asked city staff and the corporation counsel’s office to confirm and circulate a corrected policy before the council considers the resolution on the floor.
Councilmember Michelle (Councilmember) and other members asked that the draft attached to the resolution be adjusted so it explicitly names finance as the review committee, as stated in the committee report. City staff said court counsel (Bartek / Janet) would be asked to revise the policy and that staff would follow up the next day. The caucus did not take a final vote on the policy during the caucus meeting.
