Binghamton City Council voted to decrease the number of positions and increase salaries in the code enforcement office. But there’s already some desire to bring those positions back.

The City of Binghamton’s Human Rights Commission has been effectively defunct since 2016 when city council gave full control over nominations to the panel to the mayor.

The city will also lower the maximum height property owners can keep their lawns from 10 inches to eight inches.

“So when is the next meeting? What is the next step? We don’t have that.”

Teri Rennia said Mayor David should instead focus attention on the deaths of Broome County Jail inmates.
