City Council Meeting Gold Nuggets Recap: June 2, 2025 (Video)

This was a swift City Council Meeting the night of June 2, 2025, but a few Gold Nuggets emerged. Those are covered in this video recap, highlighted in brief in bullets below:

Gold Nuggets:

  • The Department of Homeland Security List that Beacon was on regarding immigration. Read more about that here.

  • The Loitering Law and marijuana after New York State de-criminalized it.

  • Councilperson Jeff Domanski bringing up Community Choice Aggregation again (the low price green energy deal that did save Beacon customers money that Jeff was connected to but it fell apart the first time after energy prices went up at the start of the war on Ukraine. The program is back for another go).

  • The so far undisclosed sale price or bidder for the Mase Hook and Ladder Fire House.

  • Speculation of what is in the “Personal” section of the private Executive Session when the agenda said there would only be discussion of “Real Property.” We do know that there were recently at least 2 suspensions in the Highway Department: Reuben Simmons and another person.
