Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Troy public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Aging city fleet maintenance costs
The city wants another $50,000 for vehicle parts and repairs because the sanitation fleet is old and breaking down more often. The money comes out of Code Enforcement and Recreation-Parks salaries.
2025 City Financial Audits
The council would formally accept the Bonadio Group's 2025 audits of the city's finances, including federal and NYSDOT spending — a key transparency check on how city money is handled.
Funding repairs for the aging sanitation fleet
The city garage is burning through parts and repair labor because the sanitation trucks are old. Ordinance 47 would shift $50,000 from salary lines to cover vehicle parts and repairs.
Joint RFP for Professional Accounting Services
The IDA, LDC, and CRC are planning to issue a joint request for proposals for accounting and CFO services to begin in 2027.
New municipal and partner-agency positions
The commission was scheduled to consider creating several new positions — a Deputy Corporation Counsel, a school district Computer Network Engineer, a Deputy Comptroller, a Housing Maintenance Supervisor, and a library Custodian. These shape staffing for city legal, finance, housing, and library services.
