TROY – The City Council plans to vote on a Sanctuary City resolution when it meets June 6, council members said Thursday night.

Councilman Anasha Cummings, D-4th District, said the final language will be completed by that time. Members of the Democratic council majority are working with Mayor Patrick Madden, a Democrat, to fine tune the resolution.

Troy Sanctuary Campaign, ICE-Free Capital District and Troy Area Labor Council members turned out for the City Council meeting Thursday to urge the council to vote on a tabled resolution declaring the status for Troy. The council tabled the resolution at its Dec. 6 meeting.

Sean Collins, vice president of the Troy Area Labor Council, said it was impossible to comment on the resolution that will be presented at the June meeting without knowing what language it will contain.

The council held two meetings last year that drew out opponents and supporters of the Sanctuary City status that has been proposed for the city.

In general, a sanctuary designation means government and law enforcement officials wouldn't investigate or report someone's immigration status to federal agencies without a compelling reason.

Madden is consulting with council members, stakeholders and the police department leadership regarding the language for the resolution, said John Salka, a mayoral spokesman.

Cummings said he wants to ensure the city complies with relevant legal requirements.

Councilwoman Coleen Murtagh Paratore, D-3rd District, said she supported passing the resolution.

“We live in a country where the president of the country has mad immigrant a dirty word,” the councilwoman said.

Republican Council President Carmella Mantello said she feels the city is a very welcoming city.
