Syracuse City Council certifies election canvas, approves consent items and property purchase
Summary
The council unanimously certified the general election canvas, approved five consent-agenda items including youth-court and several municipal-code amendments, and authorized purchase of 2.454 acres for a future fire station at 963 S 2000 W.
The Syracuse City Council unanimously certified the general canvas of the Syracuse City general election after a motion to approve the results was moved and seconded.
The council approved minutes for Oct. 14 and Oct. 28 and took a single vote on a five-item consent agenda that included: authorization for the mayor to execute a youth-court agreement extension; proposed Ordinance 25-38 (repealing and reenacting Syracuse Municipal Code §2.10.190 governing the youth court); proposed Ordinance 25-39 (amending SMC §4.25.10 to permit the public-works director to extend the secondary water season by up to two weeks under specified circumstances); proposed Ordinance 25-40 (allowing water-bill reductions for property owners who identify and repair leaks); and Resolution R 25-42 (amending the Syracuse City personnel policies and procedures manual). The council member motioned to approve all five consent items and the vote passed unanimously.
Council also moved, seconded and approved an amendment to proposed Ordinance 25-41 prohibiting mobile businesses from locating in public rights-of-way; the motion incorporated the verbiage outlined in the meeting packet.
On a separate motion the council authorized the administration to execute a real-estate purchase contract with the Gailey trustees for 2.454 acres at 963 South 2000 West. Speaker 1 said the parcel was discussed in closed session and that the city will use impact fees for the purchase because the property is intended for a future fire station; council members noted the existing house on the site will likely be demolished rather than rented. That motion passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned following routine motions and a reminder about an upcoming public hearing at the library.
