Top issues during term (20)
2027 City Budget and Deficit Mitigation
Impacts tens of millions of dollars in city expenditures and revenues.
commuter tax
Suburban workers driving into Albany would pay more, while city residents might see some relief from property tax hikes.
Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Preparation
The FY2027 budget shapes city taxes and services; unguaranteed revenue could force cuts before December 1.
Municipal Budget Review
The city budget sets how your tax dollars are spent next year — details haven't been laid out yet.
election results
While no direct tax hikes are locked in yet, expect City Hall to push for some serious spending shifts toward public services and community programs.
Ranked Choice Voting Legislation
Would require new ballot-counting systems and voter education costs.
Rental Dwelling Registry and Presumption Criteria
Potential changes in registration fee collections and code enforcement operational costs.
Water and Sewer Infrastructure Financing
Work is nearly fully grant-funded — 77% federal with state grants covering the rest.
CPRB Complaint Backlog and Review Process
The board's 2027 request of about $658,000 is nearly $100,000 less than 2026.
Albany Youth Safety and Support Hours Pilot Program
Program enforcement and support-service costs not yet specified.
Road Maintenance and Traffic Safety
Unknown
Municipal Flag Redesign Portal and Voting Infrastructure
New flag purchases and pole installations could carry costs, though auctioning old flags may help.
Rapp Road Transfer Station Environmental Review
$12M transfer station bond, ~$10M annual operations, plus another ~$10M over five years to cap landfill cells.
2026 City Budget and State Aid Allocation
Roughly $2.6 million in transfers between existing accounts — no change to the overall budget or tax rate.
Police Department Staffing Shortages and Officer Retention
General fund overtime spending is significantly exceeding initial budget assumptions.
City Debt Management and Bond Conversions
RAN issuance would cost $25K–$75K upfront plus interest, adding unprecedented costs to 2027.
Thurlow Terrace Stormwater Sewer Separation Project
July flood repairs alone cost $1 million; the new capital contingency is meant to absorb such emergencies.
Office of Violence Prevention Establishment
Funding will be allocated annually to violence prevention initiatives in high-violence wards through a community participatory budgeting process, though specific funding quantities and grant sources are still being navigated.
Property tax cap override debate
Could allow property tax levy above the state cap in 2027.
PEG Access Oversight and Station Operations
Potential future budget adjustments to support full-time or part-time staffing for public access television operations.
Decisions during term (250)
Recorded while Keegan was in office — not necessarily decisions they moved, spoke to, or voted on.
