Summary

The Albany Common Council opened and closed a public hearing on Local Law L of 2024, which would broaden the city's employee residency requirement; no members of the public testified and the law remains before the mayor.

At 11:13 a.m., Shaniqua Jackson, city clerk for the Albany Common Council, opened a public hearing on Local Law L of 2024, which would amend the city's employee residency requirement (Chapter 62, Article 1 of the City Code); the hearing closed at 11:14 a.m. with no public testimony.

The text read into the record described Local Law L of 2024 as "a local law amending article 1 employee residency requirement of chapter 62, labor of the code of the city Of Albany, in relation to broadening the employee residency requirement." Jackson said the hearing was noticed and that the full text is available on the city's website for review.

Jackson paused briefly to allow anyone traveling to arrive and to sign up to speak; she then reported that no one had signed up and closed the hearing. Mayor Kathy Sheehan was present but did not speak during the public hearing.

Because no testimony was taken at the hearing, the proposal was not amended or acted on during the session; the law remains before Mayor Kathy Sheehan for consideration. The full text of Local Law L of 2024 is available at www.albanyny.gov under the Common Council public hearings page.
