City engineering staff and the mayor warned that NYSDOT milling and paving work at the throughway/bridge interchange will cause multi-day disruptions; staff said crews will detour traffic, the city will issue a press release and public hours may be adjusted if access is affected.

Council heard that the Complete Streets program cannot be completed by year-end without a work-schedule extension from the Department of State; the mayor also said there is a $1,000,000 funding gap for a proposed community center and the city is awaiting new BRICS funding to cover the shortfall.

Council approved an option agreement with the Land Reutilization Corporation of the Capital Region to place single-family homes on eight vacant city lots for sale to income-qualified first-time buyers; the agreement lists a nominal total consideration of $2,077.22 and was adopted as a consent resolution.
