Peekskill sets Oct. 27 budget public hearing, restores $50,000 for trees in capital plan
Summary
City staff told the council that department presentations will conclude Oct. 14–15, public budget hearings are planned for Oct. 27 and advertising deadlines require early posting; council directed staff to add $50,000 for trees back to the capital budget.
The city manager reviewed the remaining steps in the budget calendar: department presentations should wrap up on Oct. 14 and Oct. 15, and the council aims to hold public budget hearings on Oct. 27. Staff said the advertising deadline to publicize the Oct. 27 hearing requires materials 13 days in advance and will attempt to post an abbreviated advertisement if allowed to allow tighter timing.
During wrap-up, council members instructed staff to reinstate $50,000 in capital funding for tree planting and maintenance; staff said the figure will be reflected in the common council budget and the capital plan will be updated. Councilors also asked about moving previously planned Lake Mitchell work into the capital plan; staff said ideas are funded this year and will follow up with details. The meeting adjourned after a motion and vote.
