Leeds As with previous meetings, the Monday, Jan. 18, 2021 meeting of the Leeds City Council was held virtually and by phone due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
The meeting began with a public hearing regarding a property on President St. that was being considered for declaration as a nuisance. However, Public Works Director Brad Watson said that the owners had made progress in improving it and recommended a 30-day extension.
Jose Manual Betancourt Roman, who said that he is the son of the property owner, was online and spoke in favor of the extension, which was later approved unanimously. No one spoke against the consideration during the public hearing.
Syracuse mastermind of huge white-collar scheme also faces violent crimes

But London Lucas, 26, may have bigger problems than a scheme that ripped off Empower Federal Credit Union, Turning Stone and other businesses of untold amounts of money in one of the most complex white-collar crimes in recent Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office history.
In a separate case, Lucas is also accused of using a gun to threaten someone in June in Cicero. He also faces a burglary charge, accused of barging into a person’s Syracuse home in March. Those are violent felonies that could carry additional decades in prison.
