Beacon, N.Y.City Council agenda

City Council meeting

October 5, 2026Monday, 7:00 PM

What happened

Hotels in the Fishkill Creek Development District

Resolution 79, tabled to October 19

The law would allow hotels in the district, where only inns and bed and breakfasts are permitted now. The Council closed the hearing but tabled the vote to October 19 after Councilmember Carolyn Glauda asked for more time.

Parking on Tioronda Avenue

Resolution 80, adopted as Local Law No. 4

The Council widened the no parking zones on Tioronda Avenue between Main Street and Route 9D, after residents complained they could not get in and out of their driveways.

Proposed 2027 operating budget

Presentation, no vote

Mayor Lee Kyriacou presented a $39.5 million budget with no new employees. Tax rates fall, but the owner of a home assessed at $500,000 would pay about $107 more because assessments rose 5 percent.

Penalties for code violations

Resolution 82, adopted; public hearing adjourned to October 19

The Council sent its code penalties law back to the Planning Board, as late zoning changes now require, and moved the hearing to October 19. The draft raises the general penalty for zoning, fire and building code violations.

Mid-year raises for appointed staff

Resolution 81, adopted as Local Law No. 5

The Council can now raise appointed staff salaries partway through the year instead of only at budget time. Kyriacou said the city lost its head of human resources to a state agency that paid better.
