She welcomed everyone to the October meeting and asked the Sergeant at Arms, Mr. Wayne Bailey, to remind everyone of basic housekeeping rules. Acceptance of Minutes Ms. Boyd made a motion to accept the minutes of the September meeting with any necessary corrections. The motion was seconded by Mr. Staton and carried unanimously. Correspondence CB 8 newsletter and other information was distributed. Weeksville Gardens Community Center – Ms. Judith Brown-Fears Ms. Brown-Fears welcomed everyone to the Weeksville Gardens Community Center. She stated that the center has been open for the last 7 months, with a plethora of activities in the facility. The Executive Director is Mr. James Madison. The facility has activities for children and adults, and she urged the community to come in and support it by participating in the activities. Ms. Granville thanked Ms. Brown-Fears for the warm welcome and also for providing refreshments for the meeting. She reiterated the importance of the community supporting the facility. Ms. Granville asked for an update on Smart Meters from Con Edison. Con Edison – Ms. Juliet Lewis and Ms. Jahari Jenkins, Regional Managers of Community Affairs Ms. Lewis and Ms. Jenkins made a presentation regarding Smart Meters, a new Con Ed initiative in Brooklyn. There are over 70 million smart meters nationwide, but only 50% in homes. Con Ed is in the process of replacing old meters with smart meters, which have advanced meter infrastructure (AMI): smart meter and secure wireless network system, and business systems. You can transfer information from the home remotely over digital networks. There are several benefits to smart meters: 1. Control the costs: instead of having estimated bills and a meter reading once a month, you will be able to check your energy usage every 15 minutes. 2. Read meter remotely, with no waiting for a meter reader. 3. Faster restoration of issues: Con Ed will be able to know if there is an interruption in service and will be able to pick it up right away. 4. You can set alerts for high bills to help you make energy saving decisions. 5. As a homeowner, you can activate new tenant service faster thru AMI. 6. Greener choices: if you have solar or green energy, you can use the smart reader to help you with it. Ms. Lewis stated that Con Ed has just started to put the infrastructure in place. Starting in April 2018, the company will begin swapping out meters. To assist with the massive project, they are looking at current routes that meter readers used to have. Currently in place is a system where readers would do a particular area and report back with the info. The swap out will use the same system. If you have a new business or are opening a new business, you will get a smart reader now. When meters are changed, if you have an outside meter, it is a simple swap and you do not have to be home. If the meter is in the home, you will have to make arrangements for the contractor to come to the home to swap the meter. The energy provider hopes to complete changing all of Brooklyn’s meters by 2021. However, if you have life-saving equipment, the company will make an appointment to change the meter at a much earlier date. 2 There is a lot of data collected thru smart reader, including how much total energy used every 15 minutes; voltage data; outage data; and diagnostic flags. The meter will not collect any personal information or any appliance data. The benefits and uses of smart meters are that they allow Con Ed to bill customers accurately; provide access to energy usage data; troubleshoot equipment problems; improve energy supply planning; communicate about energy incentive programs; evaluate smart meter’s health; and gather technical service data. The AMI program started in Staten Island and Westchester County. Most of the equipment is overhead. There are a total of 5 million meters that must be put in over the span of 5 years, and the cost of the program is $1.2 billion. Notification of meter installation will be done 90 days in advance; a follow-up letter will be mailed 45 days prior. To help notify customers, there are a series of marketing campaigns underway and representatives will leave a door hanger. There will be an identifiable smart meter van for customers to recognize the legitimacy of the vendor, contractor, and technicians all of whom will wear protective vests and present ID. Ms. Vassell asked about the job security for current meter readers. She was informed that the readers will be retained, retrained to do other jobs, and will be transferred to different sections within the company. While the role of the meter reader will be no more, there will be no job losses. Mr. Mensah asked if the smart reader is mandatory and if a homeowner can choose not to have it installed. He was informed that there is an opportunity to opt out. However, since deployment, less than 1% have opted out. Mr. Stewart asked if the $1.2 billion cost for the project has been passed on to customers. He was informed that Con Ed is a company that supplies service that is mandatory thru a regulatory agency (the Public Service Commission or PSC) that sets the rates it can charge. The utility went to PSC earlier this year for consumer rate changes. Ms. Corbett queried that if your meter is inside the home, do you have to make an appointment, or will Con Ed notify you? She was informed that the agency will notify you 90 days in advance, or you can make an appointment if you have life-saving equipment. Ms. Oton asked if the cost of people’s electricity bills are higher or lower since installation. She was informed that bills are calculated based on usage. The bill should not change except for accuracy of the reading. If you often receive estimated bills, then your bill might change to reflect the accuracy. Otherwise, if your usage does not change, your bill will not change. Mr. Reid asked how the company is going to let the elderly know of the change. Ms. Lewis stated that the utility company is sharing the information with community boards and will also do a lot of outreach to contact homeowners. Ms. Granville thanked Ms. Lewis and Ms. Jenkins for the information and asked District Leader Alabi to say a few words. District Leader Ola Alabi District Leader Alabi reminded everyone of the general election on November 7th. In addition to all of the candidates, there will be 3 ballot questions: 1. Should we have a constitutional convention? 2. Should convicted electeds lose their pension? 3. A forestry question about state owned land and utility improvements for certain 3 upstate towns and counties. It is imperative that people not only vote for their candidates, but also read the voting guide that will be mailed to them to get more information on the 3 ballot initiatives so they can make an informed decision. The constitutional convention question is extremely important. As such, on October 26th, there will be a Town Hall Meeting with special guest Senator Velmanette Montgomery, who will discuss the impact of a constitutional convention. Also in attendance will be the Dept. of Sanitation, Dept. of Buildings, and Dept. of Finance. It will begin at 6:30 PM at the Teen Challenge Center located at 444 Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill. Ms. Granville thanked District Leader Alabi for the information and asked for a report from the following committees: Economic Development –Ms. Atim Oton, Chair The Economic Development Committee met on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at the Brooklyn Neighborhood Improvement Association but did not have a report. The committee continues to assist Assemblywoman Richardson with her project of supporting long standing businesses with the creation of a holiday guide. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at 6:30 PM at BNIA located at 460 Sterling Place (corner of Washington Avenue), Brooklyn. All are invited to attend. Health and Human Serices –Mr. Kwasi Mensah, Chair The Health and Human Services Committee met on Monday, October 2, 2017 at the Brooklyn Neighborhood Improvement Association. Present were Kwasi Mensah, Audrey Taitt-Hall, and Noah Potter.

  • The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005
    The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005 On the cover: Architectural plan for realization of the campus design envisioned by Brooklyn College’s founding architect, Randolph Evans, in 1935. The plan proposes new entrances to Roosevelt and James Halls, a new West Quad to mirror the existing East Quad, and a new building to anchor the entire campus west of Bedford Avenue. The West Quad Project is one of several ambitious plans the College has launched to build a modern, student-centered campus conducive to learning and scholarship. Dear Friends of Brooklyn College At Brooklyn College in the last year, we have been busy building— not only the physical campus, but also the educational environment that best encourages vigorous learning and scholarship. Our priorities result largely from initiatives we launched during the first five years of my presidency—and particularly within the last twelve months. These include expanding the campus, renewing the natural sciences, and broadening our fiscal base. The physical transformation of the campus continues apace. We have doubled the size of the Morton and Angela Topfer Library Café, and it is open again 24/7. Over the summer, we renovated and modernized eleven lecture halls in Ingersoll Hall. We move ahead with the West Quad Project, laying out a new quadrangle and pouring the foundation for a new building. We have begun a major rebuilding of our science facilities and our science curriculum. The project will proceed in two stages. First, Roosevelt Hall will be transformed into a science building; then we will renovate Ingersoll Hall. The science faculty meanwhile has been discussing and defining the shape science teaching and research should take at the College.

    THE BROOKLYN COLLEGE FOUNDATION Annual Report 2010 - 2011 DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, The fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, was one of solid growth for the Brooklyn College Foundation. The number of contributions from alumni and friends continued to rise and the total value of gifts and pledges nearly doubled over the previous year. I am pleased to report that we are making considerable progress toward the $200 million goal of our Foundation for Success Campaign. Although the amount raised is impressive, the impact of these donations is what counts. Through the generosity of friends, alumni and private foundations, we were able to grant over 1,200 scholarships and awards. We have provided funding for students to take advantage of unique learning opportunities from New Orleans to Peru, from Paris to South Africa and, of course, right here in Brooklyn. And we have supported new facilities and equipment necessary to provide students with a 21st century education of the highest quality. As chair of the foundation, I am grateful to my fellow trustees for their engagement and leadership. The continuing impact of the foundation is due in large part to their strategic counsel and dedication. I am also grateful for the privilege to work alongside President Karen L. Gould. Under her leadership, Brooklyn College has charted an ambitious and exciting vision for the future with student success at its core. On behalf of the trustees and staff of the Brooklyn College Foundation, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to our mission to provide access to excellence for the students of this great institution.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Throughol,lt history architecture has served the noble purpose of bringing artists together for mutual achievement. Most often the record of this collaboration has pointed up how well the beauty of one art form may be enhanced by another. Much architecture of this century has ignored the added life which the artist can invest in a structure. It has been a period during which the architect, pressed by the client to solve a continuous series of economic problems dealing with the construction and use of building space, appeared to neglect the other arts. In themselves, the practical preoccupations of the architect have been a strong force in keeping the arts separate. Yet, beyond that force there was a professional ideal of the architect that for a generation made the separation near complete. Unbound by the structural limitations of the past .•• with new materials and methods of building to express form, texture and volume .•. the architect was challenged to make his structure a thing of beauty sufficient unto itself. Now there is evidence that this attitude is changing. We are being reminded of the value of aesthetic collaboration, and, in turn, we are becoming aware of a new association between the architect and the artist. But the relationship appears to be different .from that which existed in the past. It is one conceived in a manner that satisfies both the sensitive and the rational man. It is less an attempt to integrate, than to give meaning to space by relating form and use to human proportions and by rejoining the arts under a common roof.
