The Rome Common Council on Dec. 10, 2025 approved multiple resolutions and ordinances during a regular session that followed a public hearing. Notable actions recorded in the transcript include authorization for a NYS Department of Transportation bridge rehabilitation agreement, a storm-damage grant for the fire department, amendments to a skatepark capital project, and several property buyback and sale ordinances.

The council passed Resolution 153 authorizing the treasurer to close capital-account projects and make required accounting entries. Resolution 154 authorized an amendment to the 1030 East Dominic Street capital project, and Resolution 155 approved amendment number 3 to the SFM Skatepark capital project account.

Resolution 156 authorized the mayor to enter into an agreement with NYS DOT for the South James Street Bridge rehabilitation project (project PIN and the transcript lists $2,573,400 as the amount). Resolution 157 authorized applying for and accepting a grant totaling $216,000 to address storm damage and purchase tools for the fire department. The resolution text as read referenced state legislative support for the grant.

On ordinances the council approved Ordinance 9835 allowing a former owner to buy back 1723 North James Street for $13,901.28; Ordinance 9836 authorizing the sale of a city-owned parcel on Edward Street (Eastside) for $4,500; Ordinance 9837 authorizing acquisition of 431 South J Street; and Ordinance 9838 authorizing placement of yield signs on North George Street intersections. Councilor Dursey thanked DPW Commissioner Giuliano for identifying intersections and coordinating placement of the signs.

Most measures were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote or unanimous consent as recorded on the transcript; the minutes do not record individual roll-call tallies for each action. The transcript shows no recorded objections to these items.
