A representative of Senator George Borrello’s office attended.  Mayor Magiera noted the Charter Commission held a meeting with the City Attorney and plan to hold a meeting August 21, 2023 to approve the final amended Charter. The proposed question for public vote will go to the Board of Elections by August 7, 2023.  Mayor Magiera stated she has a lot of questions regarding zoning requirements. She noted that the current City zoning regulations state a business needs to be in a commercial zoned property. The Common Council feels any business in the City should be following the zoning laws. If property is not zoned commercial a request can be made to change the zoning, which may not be approved. She also noted a special use permit can be applied for businesses making a product being sold or a service is offered. Council Member Hill stated this is not a new law. There are issues due to the way NYS made the sale of marijuana legal, without regulations. The City should have enforced zoning laws, but was waiting for the NYS regulations. His opinion is to start enforcing the law. Council Member Smith stated the City is not saying they cannot have these businesses, but they have to go through the proper process to have them. He noted the City is breaking its own laws by not enforcing them. Darra Lichy asked if these rules apply to enrolled Seneca’s operating on the reservation. Council Member Koch stated the Seneca Nation of Indians is sovereign and the individual is not and therefore has to follow the City laws. Mayor Magiera explained that enrolled Seneca businesses have gone through the process for rezoning and building plan approval. Ms. Lichy asked to clarify that the business requests would go through the Assessor’s Office. Ms. Lichy asked about the possible issue of business sales from a vehicle. Mayor Magiera noted that this will need to be addressed. There is a law against selling from a RV. Council Member Reed stated that the City was waiting for clarification from NYS. Clerk Chamberlain explained there are no regulations for food truck vendors, therefore they require approval from a commercial property owner. They are not allowed on City property, with the exception of a festival. It was noted a food truck is required to obtain a health department permit. BPU General Manager Hensel stated a commercial property requires a back-flow prevention device on the water source so nothing will flow back into the City water system.  Mayor Magiera was contacted about parking on Main Street from the Theater to the Senior Center. She noted there are two-hour parking signs and the Police will need to enforce this by giving parking tickets. REGULAR MEETING OF THE COMMON COUNCIL JULY 26, 2023 PAGE NINE  Council Member Smith suggested the money from the sale of City properties be invested by putting in a separate interest bearing account. The interest could then be used toward building projects. Council Member Reed also noted it could be built into the budget and used toward projects for community items.  Council Member Smith also asked if the boat launch dock at Front Avenue will be installed. The DPW can be asked to look into installing.  Council Member Smith had IT look at his laptop which needed updates installed  Council Member Johnson was asked if a memorial plaque for an active community member, could be installed at the Crowley Park football concession area. It was noted the Recreation Commission could consider this request.  Council Member Koch asked if there are any City owned properties in need of demo. One bidder withdrew her offer on property with a structure. It was noted there may be additional properties to be taken for unpaid taxes.  Council Member Koch asked about a price for a For Sale sign on the property at State Park Avenue.  Council Member Koch requested that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to amend the City Municipal Code to allow no-parking on the south side of Front Avenue easterly from 47 Front Avenue to the intersection of Sycamore Avenue, as recommended by the Police Commission.  Council Member Koch spoke with Police Commission about the following:  The Police will look into the van in the Theater parking lot.  They will look into the request for no parking on a portion of Merden Street.  They were not in favor of a making Gravel Pit Road one-way.  They will monitor speeding West State Street  They do monitor Jefferson Street Park and Main Street.
