Poughkeepsie council approves consent agenda including budget amendment and five‑year paving plan
The Poughkeepsie City Council voted to approve a consent agenda that included a resolution amending the 2025 budget to reallocate funding for certain positions, a 2025–2029 city paving plan, proposed right‑of‑way regulations and a resolution supporting the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Scenic Byway.

The vote cleared four listed resolutions after a motion and second, with the presiding officer calling for the ayes.

Council business matters moved quickly at the meeting, with the council grouping the items on the consent agenda rather than debating each separately. The resolutions recorded on the agenda were listed as R‑25‑56 (budget amendment), R‑25‑57 (2025–2029 paving plan), R‑25‑58 (right‑of‑way regulations) and R‑25‑59 (support for the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Scenic Byway).

Councilmember James moved the motion to pass the consent agenda; Councilman Grant seconded. The presiding officer asked for the vote and the council signaled its approval. The meeting record does not include a roll call of individual votes.

The budget amendment (R‑25‑56) was described on the agenda as a reallocation of 2025 appropriations to cover specified positions; meeting discussion did not provide further line‑item detail. The paving plan (R‑25‑57) was described as the City of Poughkeepsie 2025–2029 paving plan. R‑25‑58 was described on the agenda as proposed right‑of‑way regulations; the meeting did not include extended discussion of the regulatory text. R‑25‑59 expressed council support for establishing the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Scenic Byway.

The agenda summary and motions were presented under the consent portion of the meeting; no amendments or separate votes on the individual items were recorded in the meeting transcript.
