Multiple resolutions that are scheduled to be voted on at tonight’s voting session have a focus on streets in the form of safety, reconstruction or financing.

One resolution is looking to authorize the city comptroller to amend the 2024 General Budget to recognize additional Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program, Pave New York, State Touring Route, Pave Our Potholes and Extreme Winter Recovery funding. The additional CHIPS funding totals $802,800.69

Another resolution authorizes the mayor to execute an agreement with R Patti Concrete Excavating for street reconstruction of Hall Avenue from Third Street to Harding Avenue, for the total bid amount of $233,800, to be funded through CHIPS funds. Another agreement with S Tabone Construction for street reconstruction of Clinton Street from Third Street to Fourth Street for a total of $121,537.50. This project is also funded through CHIPS.

One last street related resolution looks to allow for the mayor to enter into a contractual agreement with Stantec Inc. for the drafting and delivery of the Safe Streets For All Action Plan for the city. This will utilize federal highway administration funds in total of $275,000.

Also set to be voted on at tonight’s voting session is the city, Collaborative Children’s Solutions and the Board of Public Utilities entering into a contract with Pioneer Production Services to be featured on “Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid”, along with the potential approval of a loan to the company Monroe and More for equipment purchases, and two bond resolutions for the city to help the BPU finance some capital projects, including the construction of a new pump house station.

As The Post-Journal reported Saturday, City Council members will vote Monday on a new contract with the Kendall Club Police Benevolent Association. City and union approval of the new contract will bring to an end a state Supreme Court case filed in December challenging the validity of the city’s decision to increase health insurance premiums 22% on city employees as part of this year’s city budget.

The agreement comes with pay raises of 2% for police officers in 2025, 3% in 2026 and 4% in 2027 and 2028; creates a new sick time bonus for officers who don’t use any sick time in each quarter of the year and increases health insurance premiums 1% in 2026 and 1% in 2028. There are no retroactive payments due. The city and union agree the new health insurance premium equivalent will increase to 18% effective Jan. 1, 2025 and to establish a Labor Management Committee to review premium rate related issues on a quarterly basis. The discussions will not be considered negotiations.

The Kendall Club will withdraw its labor practice charge and arbitration under PERB Case Number A2024-283, will not grieve or charge the city for sending out a health insurance form last December and discontinue a case filed in December in state Supreme Court in Mayville.
