Council issues SEQR negative declaration for planned security camera purchase
Summary
Council found the planned purchase of security cameras to be an unlisted action under SEQR and issued a negative declaration after a short environmental assessment form, moving the procurement forward; members debated scope (building vs. parks) in separate comments.
The council considered PL102-26 and determined, following a short environmental assessment form, that the planned purchase of security cameras is an unlisted action that will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts; a negative declaration under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act was issued.
Members discussed scope and cost: staff said the city had completed similar reviews previously; some members supported targeting the purchase to city buildings and critical infrastructure rather than broad park surveillance. One council member said they supported upgrades for city buildings but not spending $200,000 on park cameras that provide limited return to taxpayers.
