Feedback mixed on proposed earlier start to Schenectady City Council meetings | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
SCHENECTADY – A proposal to start City Council meetings at 5:30 p.m., 90 minutes earlier than what’s dictated in city code, would either hinder public participation, or help professionals who want to attend meetings right after their workdays end, according to a public hearing on the matter this week.
After hearing from five people via email, and three in person Monday, the council will likely discuss the public hearing during a committee meeting on July 19.
If the proposal to change the city code passes there, the new legislation would be on the council’s July 26 agenda.

Residents want reasons for decision
“You can’t fight city hall,” so the saying goes, and it’s true. My neighbors and I have been battling the town of Ballston for over a year concerning a wide discrepancy in the fees the town charged residents to connect to the same public water supply.
When the water line was extended in 2004 to serve the new town hall on Charlton Road, homeowners along the route (known as Extension 14) were invited to hook up for a fee of $9,100, with an explicit promise that the fee would never go up or down.
