The Saratoga Springs City Council is set to vote Tuesday on a move that could keep them off the hook from paying the legal fees of a former council member.
Former Public Works Commissioner Jason Golub was charged with official misconduct in November 2024 following an alleged incident that involved a city employee unclogging a drain at Golub's home while on city time.
That case was dismissed in June 2025, and Golub then requested the City Council cover his legal fees, which totaled roughly $50,000. In a 3-1 vote, the council moved to not indemnify Golub.
But last month, a decision from the Saratoga County Supreme Court ordered the City Council to redo that vote, calling their reasoning behind the original vote "erroneous."
Now, the City Council is set to vote on a resolution that would allow them to appeal the court's decision in the next 30 days.
