Unanimous: Ithaca Common Council passes Reimagining Public Safety resolution, will create new Department of Public Safety

ITHACA, NY -- Ithaca’s Common Council officially passed the Reimagining Public Safety resolution that includes creating a new department that would comprise armed and unarmed workers. There were a handful of language tweaks from the initial resolution, but the recommendation to create a new department was the one that gathered the most discussion.
Alderperson Donna Fleming proposed an amendment to the language nixed the language that said “create a department” because she said that implied an elimination of the current department. She was supported by Alderperson Cynthia Brock who agreed that it would make more sense to change the language to say create a task force to evaluate building a new department.
