A councilor asked that the map be prioritized; other councilors and staff responded that drafting the required legal descriptions is a substantial task and that the council needs to confirm the districting commission’s status before moving forward.

Council discussion noted the council had not yet received a finalized draft of the map descriptions and that members of the districting commission may have begun work. One councilor said the drafting and vetting of the descriptive language is time-consuming and suggested contacting the commission chair — identified in the transcript as Jimmy Callahan — to determine next steps and whether existing drafts can be vetted rather than recreated.

No formal motion or vote to introduce a local law was recorded in the transcript. A councilor volunteered to contact the commission chair and to seek a status update and timeframe so the council could direct next steps at a subsequent meeting. The transcript showed concern about missing prior deadlines and a desire to avoid interference with the election cycle if timing is rushed.

The council did not set a firm deadline in the meeting record; staff and councilors said they would follow up and aim to bring a direction and timeframe to the next meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plattsburgh Common Council Meeting - January 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Councilors raised concerns about completing language to adopt a new districting map as a local law by the next meeting; staff and councilors said drafting the required descriptive language is a sizeable effort and agreed to contact the charter/districting commission chair to determine status.","taxTitle","Plattsburgh, Clinton County, New York","taxId",68790,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6109642,"Plattsburgh councilor requests regular zoning and planning minutes be provided at council meetings",47,476000,523000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2760613-8c0d110e0867e6dcc29795be4b9af59e&start=476&end=523","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2760613-8c0d110e0867e6dcc29795be4b9af59e/thumbnail_476000.jpg","/articles/6109642/Plattsburgh/Clinton-County/New-York/Plattsburgh-councilor-requests-regular-zoning-and-planning-minutes-be-provided-at-council-meetings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6109642-b957167f21c5d20d244be0d105f52878/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138460&Signature=VgVg-uHTAzv5EyGpJ0VAFtgSwCpntHSINshoKBFdG1SkPWR7puaURwHuolgR6VlRl5KOTgC98ouWkJJiNCGO1kkPXrqdnO5UZNvrbhwcxunBI~v~cygQ7IUPvKBgnR~RagbLhozsHUM0abn3xzjuf3lzI8Ne~hhtfca~~yJKSe8VwIh0U-rvOBCZR95eNG274sAwykvJivtLWQchnjTZgWdgUgHGUn0TM4o0aDH48gKn9G5dKV55pRXUkOCqmjaITA1U4zzMgbMjIc8YB0qOwao-OBQLWmdobo936gaKS5i~iMhIeApQzmJR1g2vLI8-pU4yIeDgzEmi8rDOlDyXAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the Jan. 2, 2025 new-business portion of the Common Council meeting, a councilor requested that the council receive minutes and updates on actions taken by the city’s Zoning and Planning body as part of council meeting materials.

The unidentified councilor said the council had not previously received those minutes and asked whether they could be added to the council packet or presented under correspondence or committee recommendations. Council staff (identified in the record as Beth) responded that agendas and minutes are posted on the zoning body’s website and said the clerk’s office could request copies or include the agenda or minutes with council materials going forward.

Council members present expressed support for the idea; one councilor described it as “a good idea” in the discussion but the transcript does not record a formal motion or vote to change the meeting packet practice. No public comment occurred related to this request during the meeting.

Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff agreed to follow up on making zoning and planning agendas/minutes available to councilors; no timeline was attached in the transcript.","During new business on Jan. 2 a councilor asked the Common Council to receive minutes or summaries from the Zoning and Planning body at regular council meetings; staff said agendas and minutes are available online and can be provided.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6109647,"Plattsburgh Common Council approves 11 budget and administrative resolutions, levies 2025 property tax",203,227000,430000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2760613-8c0d110e0867e6dcc29795be4b9af59e&start=227&end=430","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2760613-8c0d110e0867e6dcc29795be4b9af59e/thumbnail_227000.jpg","/articles/6109647/Plattsburgh/Clinton-County/New-York/Plattsburgh-Common-Council-approves-11-budget-and-administrative-resolutions-levies-2025-property-tax","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6109647-7ad0529f787e827bf1e48a634046ad84/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138460&Signature=cYycMVSIqLm1q5-~5BvsxSmVWOK8dgFfchpByNQ-~DaF~lHN10OwmEyPItKTcz-B1WwGTMX1og4HiHYVYI0JKgc8vSyRxiGcgLNvA9dkSYvcD~H09Qs47v4etFVsNViaznE2lWar-3PS~ztFHESX4UPOJUGRqyYb4YyzAD-BcfKnkONUCbYPmbO~MYzXisCDpg70mzzdwLvJACjUeDRNM7IkZCAcl06lK4EAW4hR4hRMAjJir-pXfzK4K3ej6pzNCisa1yIjSo6JEr6yxu-tI3IfED3SO6KfWEPBrAM6EMkn4lan8lH8PggQ~~19Eh0WAUWd4r5dyU0g43FldMO20g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Common Council of the City of Plattsburgh approved 11 resolutions during its Jan. 2, 2025 regular meeting, covering year-end budget adjustments, corrections to the mayor’s 2025 budget across multiple funds, adoption of the 2025 tax levy and capital program, and the award of an alcoholic beverage concession at the City Beach.

• Item 7.11 — Award of alcoholic beverage concession at the City Beach (listed on the resolution as “new”/renewal language appears on the form).

The council also approved payroll and bills read into the record: payroll for the week ending Dec. 25, 2024 in the amount of $587,920.65; council-approved bills for the week ending Dec. 27, 2024 in the amount of $1,984,299.63; and bills for 01/03/2025 in the amount of $104,951.98.

No members of the public spoke during the public-comment period that evening, and council adjourned following the consent and new-business items.
