Buffalo council agendas: Broadway Market renovation, liquor licenses, and procedural items

The Buffalo Common Council has several items on its agenda for the coming weeks, including a proposed renovation of the Broadway Market and a new parking lot, but no decisions have been made yet. All recent meetings listed are agenda-only, with minutes not yet published, so the items below are proposals under consideration, not final actions.

Broadway Market renovation proposed

At its Aug. 5 meeting, the Common Council is scheduled to consider two items related to the renovation of the Broadway Market and construction of a 73-space accessory parking lot. The addresses are 976 Elmwood and 981 Broadway, both in the N-3C Zone. Also on that agenda is a liquor license application for 123 Street (item 26-000123). No vote has been taken on any of these items.

Liquor license applications

Two liquor license applications appear on recent agendas. The July 31 Common Council meeting includes an application for 1234 Champagne Ave (item 26-00081). The Aug. 5 meeting includes the application for 123 Street (item 26-000123). Both are listed as agenda items only.

Other items on the July 31 agenda

The July 31 Common Council meeting also lists two resolutions: 26-000110, regarding the Buffalo Bills and their third jersey, and 26-000111, calling for universal free ice cream every Friday. In addition, the agenda includes test items for the Planning Board (26-000114), Real Estate (26-000115), Assessment (26-000112 and 26-000113), and the Sewer Division (26-000116). These are listed as test items, with no details provided.

Procedural meetings only

Two meetings had no substantive items. The Aug. 1 Civil Service Committee meeting was procedural, covering minutes approval and two test items (real estate and Planning Board) with no public hearings or decisions. The Aug. 1 Common Council meeting listed only roll call, felicities, in memoriam, and minutes approval. The Aug. 7 Civil Service Committee meeting had no listed items at all, just standard procedural sections.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the next 14 days. The next scheduled meetings are the ones described above, all of which have agendas published but no minutes yet. Residents interested in the Broadway Market renovation or liquor license applications may want to attend the Aug. 5 Common Council meeting, though the time and location are not provided in the available data.

Buffalo Common Council to review liquor license, Bills jersey resolution; no decisions yet recorded

The Buffalo Common Council's July 31, 2026 agenda includes a liquor license application for 1234 Champagne Ave (file 26-00081) and several resolutions, but minutes have not yet been published, so no decisions are confirmed.

Common Council — July 31

The Council's published agenda lists the following items for review:

• A liquor license application for 1234 Champagne Ave (26-00081).
• Resolution 26-000110 addressed to the Buffalo Bills regarding their third jersey.
• Resolution 26-000111 calling for universal free ice cream every Friday.
• Test items for the Planning Board (26-000114), Real Estate (26-000115), and Assessment (26-000112, 26-000113).
• A Sewer Division test item (26-000116).

Because only the agenda is available and minutes have not been published, it is not yet known whether any of these items were approved, tabled, or rejected. Vote tallies are not available.

Common Council — August 1

A second Common Council meeting on August 1, 2026 lists only procedural items: roll call, felicities, in memoriam, and minutes approval. No ordinances, contracts, or public hearings appear on the published agenda. Minutes are not yet published.

Civil Service Committee — August 1

The Buffalo Civil Service Committee met August 1, 2026 to approve minutes from a prior meeting and review two test items — one related to real estate and another concerning the Planning Board. No substantive decisions or public hearings are listed on the agenda. Minutes are not yet published.

What this means for residents

All three meetings from the past two weeks are agenda-only; no minutes have been released. That means no outcomes — approvals, denials, or vote counts — can be confirmed from the available records. The liquor license application at 1234 Champagne Ave is the most concrete item affecting a specific property, but its status remains unknown until minutes are published.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the City of Buffalo's official meeting calendar for any newly posted agendas or rescheduled sessions.
