Clerk's reading: the Schenectady City Council read 11 items for original and final consideration on June 23, 2025, including several property sales, settlements and a contract award.

Items read into the record included a final-consideration ordinance to make a portion of Chrysler Avenue one-way; resolutions authorizing acceptance of the 2024 external audit; sale of a vacant lot at 317 State Street for $1,500; sale of a vacant lot at 529 Schenectady Street for $2,500; sale of 535 Schenectady Street for $40,000; authorization to redeem and withdraw 30 Cromer Avenue from foreclosure; settlement of a tax certiorari action for property at 1612 Chrysler Avenue and another tax certiorari settlement (details read into the record); and, under contracts and suppliers, a resolution awarding the Franklin Street cycle track (NYS DOT PIN 1760.61) to Carver Construction Inc. in the amount of $2,089,174.

The clerk noted Item 7 was pulled from the agenda and Item 8 was returned to committee. Item 11 (the Franklin Street contract) was read "discussed in committee with objection and on consent." The record shows an email in the communications folder from Tracy Collins in favor of the Kings Road weight limit.

The council moved to approve the minutes for June 9, 2025, a motion moved by Council Member Patrick and seconded by Council Member Mutavarran; the meeting record shows the vote as "Aye." Later, a motion to adjourn was moved by Council Member Farley and seconded by Council Member Mancini; the minutes show the final recorded voice vote as "Aye" and the meeting was adjourned.

No detailed roll-call vote on each consent item was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; several items were described as "discussed in committee without objection and on consent."
