KINGSTON – The Kingston Common Council
held one of the shortest meetings possible Wednesday evening, with a quick
two minute special session to pass a single resolution. Four of the nine
aldermen were excused; the remaining five constituted a bare quorum.
The business part of the meeting took less time than the Pledge of Allegiance. It was so short, that another meeting was interrupted in the council chambers, to make room for the quickie city council session.
A July 29 deadline for grant funding approved by the full council last month, required another vote to include Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History, whose paperwork came in later.
The organization is converting an abandoned Jewish bakery in the Rondout district into a museum for the 19th Century immigration period of New York’s history.
