Rensselaer County Legislature meeting Tuesday 5/12. They look to approve buying law enforcement vehicles. Declare June Rensselaer County Pride Month, Dairy Month, Motorcycle Safety Month, ALS Awareness Month, Post Traumatic Stress Disaster Month and Uterine Cancer Month. There is a resolution to recognize Juneteenth in Rensselaer County.
It looks the legislature will move to pass a resolution supporting the Bigger Better Botttle Bill but oppose the deposit increase from 5 to 10 cents.

The Troy City Council advanced draft legislation to the administration to implement new policies and oversight of automated license plate readers (ALPRs), part of a broader push to address public concerns over personal privacy, the use of surveillance technology, and access. We hope to engage in productive dialogue with the administration and police department leadership over how this technology is used in our neighborhoods and community.

“The council supports the important work of the Troy Police Department to investigate crime in our community, but as this technology continues to rapidly evolve, we must ensure protections and oversight are in place.”

The draft local law was authored by Councilperson Noreen McKee and will be introduced on May 7 for discussion at a Public Safety Committee meeting May 21 at 5:30.
