Glens Falls council proclaims Queensbury Hotel Day and announces personnel appointments
Summary
The council proclaimed May 28, 2026, Queensbury Hotel Day, recognized the hotel's centennial, and announced several personnel appointments and retirements, including an incoming police chief and human-resources director; a resident urged increased public restroom access at the police station.
The Glens Falls Common Council read a proclamation May 26 recognizing the Queensbury Hotel's 100th anniversary and declared May 28, 2026, Queensbury Hotel Day in the city, citing the hotel's historic role and recent investments.
The mayor recited the proclamation honoring the property's founding in 1924 and noting recent renovations and community contributions. "Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Glens Falls Common Council salutes and commends the Queensbury Hotel...on the occasion of the hotel's 100th anniversary," the proclamation read.
Councilman Andre announced several personnel moves and recognitions: Barbara Daly was appointed planning and zoning coordinator (effective May 11), Deborah Goodhind was introduced as the new human-resources director, and Kyle Diamond was named police chief effective May 30. The council also recognized retirements and congratulated staff members and volunteers.
During public comment, resident Dennis Brower asked whether the council had decided about bathroom access at the police station. The mayor said the issue had been discussed at the Board of Public Safety and that the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) had offered a temporary compromise: installing a padlock with a numeric code so people with need could access the facility while limiting unsupervised access.
The council thanked community volunteers involved in recent Memorial Day events, highlighted local hospital signage updates and library events, and noted several upcoming community celebrations.
