SARATOGA SPRINGS — City Accounts Commissioner Dillon Moran this week announced he will seek to extend the period that businesses may site outdoor dining on city sidewalks through November 1, 2024.
The measure was first proposed by former Accounts Commissioner John Franck in 2020 and adopted as a temporary plan to aid local restaurants shortly after the onset of the pandemic.
Set a public hearing:
“As we’ve been dealing with the effects of COVID, steps were taken by my predecessor to initiate and ultimately legislate the ability for our restaurants to extend their areas out into public spaces,” Commissioner Moran explained to the City Council Feb. 1.
“It’s clear to anyone paying attention that we are nowhere near the end of (the effects of the pandemic) and we need to continue to do things that will allow our businesses to operate safely, and just as importantly, allow our citizens and visitors to come and patronize our businesses in a way that they feel safe,” Moran said. “Simply stated, we need to continue outdoor dining for the foreseeable future.”
A Public Hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 15 – in advance of the 7 p.m. council meeting – to discuss the matter. The measure seeks to extended outdoor dining period for restaurants through November 1, 2024.
