ITHACA, NY (WSKG) Following weeks of speculation that its police reform plans would lead to “abolishing” the police department, the Ithaca Common Council voted to approve its recommendations Wednesday.

Amid a few hours of deliberating over particularities in the wording of the proposals, it was clear that common council supported a continued role of police in the city, albeit as part of a new overarching department.
At one point during the meeting, Councilor Donna Flemming offered an amendment to the resolution to eliminate a specific line dealing with what had been originally coined as the Department of Community Solutions and Public Safety. Flemming’s amendment would remove the term “create a department” from the recommendation.
