NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – Deciding whether to put security cameras on various city traffic lights will be one item on the New Rochelle City Council’s agenda when it meets Tuesday.
The $72,000 cost would be part of several requested items the city is sending to New York state as part of its capital improvement program.
Other items include another vehicle to help maintain city roads and other areas, another fire truck, a vehicle to transport senior citizens, and repairing storm sewers throughout the city.
All items would be funded through bonds which would have to be financed by the city.
The council discussed the program during Tuesday’s city council meeting.
New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said the city is not allocating any additional funding other than what was already voted for this year’s budget.
“Each of these are consistent with the budget already adopted by the council last month for 2013,” said Bramson.
The council meets at 7 p.m. in New Rochelle City Hall, 515 North Ave.

I forgot to add, I really really hope our state reps. don't take this up in Albany, but my hunch is Latimer won't have a problem with any of the requested tax increases.
OMG, more bonds? This council has no shame at all and are taking NR down a reckless road.
I'm feeling another 10% tax increase next year, but will Bramson release the budget before the election? I doubt that, he's too much of a spinless worm.
Whatever happened to just say NO? And if the city can't afford to pay cash, then it should buy whatever they're buying.
