The Syracuse City Council held a regular meeting on June 1, 2026, to discuss a variety of agenda items, including a road closure data review, an amendment to a parking agreement, lifeguard residency waivers, consulting contracts, and grant applications. Several items were held for further information or withdrawn, and the council moved into executive session for a personnel issue.

Is Eric here he has spoke last time that uh he um he got more information, he's still seeking out the more information. Joel, you heard me? Joe? Yeah. He's not we don't have the information. Yeah, we'll hold that. We would like to talk to him first. Okay. Uh yeah. All right. Um so that item is going to be held with a question. Um then item uh 14 first of all. Uh Councilor Hudson, thank you for taking my item last week. Appreciate it. Um, so uh also had a question about item 17, but uh I think oh Eric is here. Um we still holding 14, 15, and 16? Yeah, you have to for a public hearing. Yeah. Okay. Eric, would you you come up for us? Would you uh give us where we are with items 13? I can, yes. Yeah, good uh good afternoon, counselor. So we have been um understanding the conversations that we've had with several members of the council, including the public works committee. Um we have gone through and we are still working on going through a day-by-day process going back uh as far as the information that we have available on the road closure, looking at equipment as it's included in the right of way and in the road, and then how that has evolved over the course of leading up to where we are today. So we have daily reports that we are in the process of receiving back from the project team and from Surgeon's University. We're then going through and we are assessing and reviewing that to confirm that it is consistent with the right of way and the legislation and the way the fee structure is structured, and then ultimately being able to determine that utilization of the roadway based on the numbers that we've been discussing. Um so that information as we're working through that. I know that this has been an item that has been on the agenda and continues to be on the agenda. We would respectfully ask to hold the item for this meeting, but understanding we would come back with more detail and information and help provide the clarity and answer those questions in the next two weeks. So where is the hold up? Is it on the on the it is the whole of external or is it internal? It's so there's a wealth of information that we specifically have asked for through our conversations with counselors, and that the project team is also putting together on a with those daily reports. So it's a daily snapshot of how the site is being used in terms of the equipment that's being used and going back through that historical data since that road closure initially began. So that's the information that we are then taking a look and going through. It is just it's a it's a wealth of information that um we're working through in order to be able to answer some of those questions. So I it's it's not necessarily a holdup, it's just the information that we need to make sure that we have and that we're verifying all the data that uh that it that we have around the road closure itself. And you think next next study session and next session would give us what we need and we should be able to move on. Yeah, I certainly we would make sure we have the information available. Um we will target and aim for being able to do so prior to the study session for the meeting in two weeks.
