City Council Remains Deadlocked by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Two measures that could have potentially filled the fifth-seat vacancy on the City Council failed to garner majority approval on Oct. 1 at City Hall, resulting in a deadlocked council in disagreement about the best way to move forward. The first measure, proposed by city Mayor John Safford, sought to appoint an ad hoc advisory committee charged
with interviewing candidates and subsequently leading to the eventual council-appointment of an interim Commissioner of Public Works. That appointed position would be seated on a temporary basis until a councilmember is elected by city voters to complete the term through 2025. The most recently amended resolution calls for four members to be on the ad hoc advisory committee, with each councilmember appointing one person to the committee. See Story pg. 9
