The Glens Falls City Common Council approved a six-item consent agenda and a series of resolutions and settlements during a regular meeting, including payments to outside consultants and a permit for a summer block party.
On the consent agenda the council approved six items, including meeting minutes for June 10–20 (item 5.1), a community development annual payment listed as $640 (item 5.23), two licensing applications (items 5.24; license numbers 131-2025 through 135-2125), and encroachment permits numbered 41-2025 through 43-2025 (item 5.25). The presiding officer called for the question and the motion carried.
Under regular business the council unanimously approved a resolution accepting $18,480 in reimbursement related to school resource officer services from the Wentz Falls School District (resolution 7.?, police department).
The council also voted to waive the city’s open-container restriction for the BFF LLC Summer Jam block party scheduled for Saturday, July 12, from 3 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the area near South Street. The resolution included the limited area and time for the waiver.
Council members went into executive session to discuss legal proceedings. After returning from executive session the council approved a $75,000 payment to KOW Appraisers Group to be added to the previous budget and an additional $10,000 to pay for assistance with an upcoming citywide way assessment (resolution 7.1). The council approved settlements in two tax-certiorari matters recorded in the meeting as: Hudson LLC versus the Board of Assessment Review and the assessor of the city (resolution 7.2), and Lunch Falls Property LLC versus the assessment and the Board of Assessment Review of the city (resolution 7.3). Motions for those settlements carried.
Councilman Knox said staff and the assessor plan public outreach about a reassessment and that the assessor will appear at the first July meeting to discuss the process; a presentation on a transitioning civic bus service is tentatively scheduled for late July.
Votes recorded in the meeting were described on the record as carried or unanimous; the transcript does not list a roll-call tally for each vote.
