Thomas, Esq., Assistant Corporation Counsel Re: Common Council Legislation Supporting Memorandum Date: November 5, 2025 Sponsor: Council Member Zamer LOCAL LAW F OF 2025 TITLE A LOCAL LAW AMENDING PART 41 (COMMISSION ON MONUMENTS AND PUBLIC ART) OF CHAPTER 42 (DEPARTMENTS AND COMMISSIONS) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF ALBANY IN RELATION TO THE SCOPE OF THE COMMISSION’S RESPONSIBILITIES AND AUTHORITY GENERAL PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION This legislation refines the scope and responsibilities of the Commission on Monuments and Public Art to better align with its available resources and jurisdiction. When the Commission was established, it was envisioned as a volunteer body composed of community members lending their expertise and perspective. However, the enabling legislation tasked the Commission with responsibilities that would require significant staffing, technical infrastructure, and authority beyond what the City presently affords to it. Accordingly, this amendment clarifies that the Commission’s focus is on matters under the City’s control -- principally, monuments and public art located on City-owned property. It removes provisions that imply the Commission should create and maintain public resources or oversee monuments under the jurisdiction of other levels of government. The intent is to preserve the Commission’s valuable advisory and community-engagement role, while ensuring that its duties are both practical and achievable. NECESSITY FOR LEGISLATION AND ANY CHANGE TO EXISTING LAW The Commission’s volunteer members serve without compensation and operate without a dedicated budget or administrative staff. Despite their commitment, the original framework required the Commission to perform ongoing cataloging, digital resource development, and cross-jurisdictional coordination that exceed the capacity of an unfunded, volunteer body. This amendment narrows the Commission’s mandate to functions that can realistically be fulfilled— chiefly, maintaining an inventory of City-owned monuments and advising the City on matters of placement, removal, and contextualization. By focusing on what is administratively and legally within reach, the City can ensure that the Commission’s work remains meaningful, transparent, and sustainable. FISCAL IMPACT None.
