Votes at a glance: Jamestown council approves sidewalk conveyance, grant applications, police training travel, bandshell stairs contract and City Hall roof over
Summary
At the June 23 Jamestown City Council work session the council approved a package of resolutions including conveyance of small sidewalk parcels to U.S. DOT, grant application authorizations, police travel, a bandshell stairs contract with outside donations, and a City Hall roofing change order.
The Jamestown City Council approved multiple resolutions at its June 23 work session, covering property conveyance, grant applications, travel approvals for police lieutenants, a parks construction contract and an additional roof change order for City Hall.
The council approved a conveyance to the U.S. Department of Transportation for two small sidewalk parcels at the northeast and southwest corners of East Fourth and Frederickus Avenue; the transcript states the city will accept $420.00 for those parcels. The council also approved submitting a planning and feasibility application under a 2025 program providing up to $1,000,000 in planning support (roughly $100,000 per project), and a separate application related to New York Homes and Community Renewal’s Pro Housing Supply Fund (statewide program referenced as $100,000,000) to help finance infrastructure for new housing developments.
Council members approved travel and training for two Jamestown Police Department lieutenants, Adam McKinley and Joshua Nickerson, to attend a regional command college (dates given as Sept. 21–26) with travel and related expenses paid by the Jamestown Police Department, referencing section 77-b of New York’s General Municipal Law.
The council authorized the mayor to execute an agreement with Patio Concrete Excavating of Jamestown for the Allen Park Bandshell stairs project for $110,980.00. The meeting record shows the project will use $18,000 from a Community Foundation donation, $20,000 from the Highland Park Women’s Club, $64,000 from CDBG neighborhood target area infrastructure funds and about $8,800 from the parks department budget.
The council also approved change order number 1 with Jamestown Roofing Incorporated for additional City Hall select roof repairs, increasing the contract by $80,000. Officials explained the change order stems from uncovered penthouse roofing needs that were not evident before contractors worked around elevator and mechanical equipment; the penthouse footprint was described as about 1,500 square feet.
Other approvals and informational items passed through committee and the work session: a request to the Board of Public Utilities to install a 150-watt LED light fixture at BPU pole No. 30185 on Meadowland; local Law 2 of 2025 (code enforcement updates recommended by the New York Department of State) was forwarded with plans for public comment; and event paperwork for a Baby Boom Series meet-and-greet (Aug. 15) and a Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Festival (September 2025) was accepted as informational.
Each item was announced as approved in the work session discussion. The transcript does not record individual roll-call vote tallies or the names of specific motion movers and seconders for each resolution; the meeting chair called for final approval on items and recorded that they were approved.
