Troy City Council Public Hearings and Finance Meeting 7/23/2026
Published: Jul 23, 2026
Street Renamed 'Super 400 Way' to Honor Band's 30-Year Contribution to Troy
Resolution 81 was passed to commemorate the 30-year career of the band Super 400 by designating a portion of Willow Street as 'Super 400 Way'. Council members spoke highly of the band's contributions to the local music scene, the Capital Region, and their role in teaching music to the next generation through free programs at the Troy Music Academy. The designation recognizes their artistic impact and community involvement.
Honorary Street Renaming to 'Crab Garrison Way' Approved for South Troy Veterans Organization
The council unanimously passed Resolution 74, granting an honorary street renaming of a portion of Liberty Street to 'Crab Garrison Way'. This designation honors the Crab Garrison 1954, a veterans organization founded in 1954. The name 'Crab' is an acronym for four servicemen—Chorelli, Ray, Ares, and Bevino—who lost their lives in WWII and the Korean War. The organization has grown significantly over 72 years, supporting veterans and the South Troy community through charitable giving, scholarships, and events. The resolution recognizes their enduring legacy and contributions.
Resident Urges Council to Postpone Police Surveillance Technology Resolutions Amidst Transparency Concerns
During the public forum for the Finance Committee, a resident expressed concerns about resolutions 78 and 77, which aim to increase surveillance technologies for the Troy PD. They drew parallels to concerns raised about Flock, highlighting issues like AI-driven systems, data collection, and third-party vendors without accountability. The resident urged the council to postpone these resolutions until legislation governing the use of these technologies, including oversight, accountability, and transparency, is passed. Another resident questioned the use of the Clear program by the police, noting a discrepancy between the Chief's explanation (focused on fraud) and the documentation (focused on violent crimes), and questioning the absence of a local use policy for this tool.
Troy City Council Authorizes $15.5 Million Bond for Water System Reconstruction
The council authorized the issuance of $15.5 million in serial bonds to finance the reconstruction of the city's water supply and distribution system. This bond authorization is a prerequisite for potentially receiving a WEIA grant. The project will include installing backup power, likely a diesel standby generator, to replace an aging 1999 generator. The council clarified that this bond issuance is not for a reimbursable grant program but is to demonstrate the city's commitment to the project should the WEIA grant be awarded.
Troy City Council Approves Budget Amendments and Authorizes Bond for Water System Upgrades
The council adopted Ordinance 32 and Ordinance 33, both amending the 2026 general fund budget. The specifics of these amendments were not detailed in the transcript, but the ordinances were moved, seconded, and passed unanimously by the council. Additionally, Resolution 80 authorized the issuance of $15.5 million in serial bonds for the reconstruction of the city's water supply system, a necessary step for potentially securing a WEIA grant. This bond authorization was clarified as a procedural requirement to demonstrate commitment, not an immediate expenditure.
