PITTSFIELD â The City Council Tuesday accepted the budgets for the fire department and emergency management, then debated the Pittsfield Police Department funding request following calls during the public comment portion of the meeting to probe and reduce areas of police spending.
Councilors had not conducted a final vote on the police budget by press time, after power outages kicked some councilors off of the Zoom meeting and prompted the council to break for two recesses.
By unanimous vote, the council signed off Mayor Linda Tyerâs proposed $8,781,434 million budget for the fire department for next fiscal year, up 4.2 percent over this fiscal year, and her $26,400 level-funded request for emergency management. The council accepted the budgets without much discussion, but with praise for Fire Chief Thomas Sammons and his department.
