Glens Falls City Council approves consent agenda, ratifies parking contract with 333 Glen Street Associates
Summary
The council approved a 16-item consent agenda and ratified a parking contract between the city and 333 Glen Street Associates for parking to Finaccio; the contract had been signed by the previous administration but lacked prior council approval.
The Glens Falls City Council approved a 16-item consent agenda Tuesday and ratified a previously signed parking contract with 333 Glen Street Associates that authorizes payments to provide parking to Finaccio. The chair said the contract had been signed under the prior administration but was never approved by the council, so payment required tonight’s action.
“The warrant has payments that need to be approved by you and then they get paid out,” the chair said, describing the council’s charter responsibility to audit accounts and explaining why the manual payment was on tonight’s agenda. The chair noted that manual payments are typically limited to fixed salaries, debt service, utilities and multi-year contracts, and staff are working to phase out exceptions.
A council member raised a procedural point of order about when to vote on the consent agenda; the chair confirmed a motion and second, called the vote and declared the motion passed with no opposition recorded. The council then returned to the regular agenda.
No individual votes were recorded by name in the transcript; the chair announced the motion as passed.
