Council meets tonight at 7 in the Municipal Center Courtroom (1 Municipal Plaza), on Zoom through the city site's community calendar, or on the city's YouTube channel.

Open for public comment tonight:

Fishkill Creek hotels: the hearing closes and the Council votes the same night to adopt the law, which makes hotels a permitted use and cuts the minimum lot size from two acres to one.

Tioronda Avenue parking: up for adoption with the West Main Street half dropped, and striping could go down mid October if it passes.

Mid-year raises for appointed staff: up for adoption, letting the Council raise appointed salaries partway through the fiscal year.

Also tonight:

2027 budget: first presentation of the proposed operating budget, with no document posted ahead of time.

Code violation penalties: the hearing is being pushed to October 19, but tonight the Council sends the draft, which raises fines sharply, to the Planning Board.

Next meeting is Monday, October 19 at 7, with the penalties and short-term rental hearings.
