City of Poughkeepsie police contract approved by common council

Nelson told the council "every single box was checked" in terms of the city discussing with the PBA items the council asked them to renegotiate.
"Including the language that speaks to the Civilian Complaint Review Board," Nelson said. "With respect to the fiscal impact statement, one was provided on the original agreement, Oct. 28."
Toward the end of Monday's meeting, Councilmember Yvonne Flowers requested the resolution be added back so the council may discuss and take a vote. However, per the law, councilmembers could not publicly discuss specifics in the contract.
Councilmembers Sarah Brannen, Randall Johnson, Evan Menist and Salem abstained from voting, citing late notice to vote, no room for public comment on the resolution and concern over language. Councilmembers Flowers, Natasha Cherry, Chris Petsas, Matthew McNamara and Lorraine Johnson voted to approve the new contact.
