Yonkers council unanimously repeals local public safety fee

The Yonkers City Council voted to adopt a local law repealing the public safety fee in Chapter 109 of the Code of the City of Yonkers, which governs vehicles and traffic. The motion passed unanimously.

The council adopted the local law without discussion. The ordinance was introduced as “a local law amending chapter 109 of the Code of the City of Yonkers entitled Vehicles and Traffic in regards to repealing the public safety fee.” The clerk recorded the item as adopted 7–0.

There was no recorded debate, amendment, or direction to staff on implementation during the item. No fiscal analysis or effective date was provided on the council floor during the meeting.

The action removes the city-level public safety fee provision from Chapter 109; the transcript does not specify when the repeal becomes effective or any follow-up steps for city departments to implement the change.
