May vision and hope for the future be clear and all-inclusive filled with compassion, as we move with purpose towards goals and objectives.

We are thankful for their willingness to give of themselves for their commitment to preparing the way to a better future for the city, thus the nation and the world. Help us to be supportive that we may show gratitude just as quickly as we are to show contempt.

Yet, we know that this work is a special privilege. In those difficult times renew in them the desire and passion for the people that move them to serve. Surround them in their homes, their offices, their coming in and going out with the support that they need to keep try to the task that is set before them.

Council Member King moved to spread the Invocation in full upon the record. 3921 November 16, 2017 During the Communication from the Speaker segment of this Meeting, the Speaker (Council Member Mark-Viverito) asked for a Moment of Silence in honor of the following individuals: Eight individuals lost their lives in a terrorist truck attack on West Street on October 31, 2017.

  • The Council of the City of New York
    View this email in your browser The Council of the City of New York For Immediate Release Monday, October 16, 2017 Contact: Sarah Crean: [email protected] // 646-763-0143 Council Members Rosenthal, Rodriguez Join Elected Officials and Advocates in Call for Independent Commission to Study Runaway MTA Costs NEW YORK -- Elected officials and advocacy organizations gathered today on the steps of City Hall to call for the creation of an independent commission to study cost reform at the MTA. The call stems from independent research which shows that the MTA has by far the highest transit construction costs in the world, spending many times more than other global cities for similar projects. The independent commission sought by the elected officials would be tasked with studying the cause of these outsized costs and proposing reforms to address them. The group pointed to the urgency of addressing this issue now, as New Yorkers consider the $836 million sought by the MTA to make emergency repairs and the over $8 billion more requested to make long-term fixes. “New York City simply cannot afford to keep spending more and getting less,” said Council Member Helen Rosenthal, Chair of the Council's Committee on Contracts. “This isn’t about cutting costs for the sake of cutting costs, it’s about making sure we’re able to meet the transportation needs of New Yorkers in the 21st century." "Without meaningful cost reform, it will be impossible for New York to meet the current crisis in service--let alone achieve critical long term goals like making the system fully accessible or expanding service into transit deserts," Rosenthal continued.

We reCognize that the details of this plan are still being determined. We write today to make several recommendations for you to consider as you work to address both the achievement gap in academic, social and physical skill areas and the regression of life among the approximately 200,000 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike other students, this population of Children may never catch up on what was lost during the days of remote learning. With regard to the effort to provide families the option of blended or remote instruction models, appropriate staffing has beCome a Challenge, partiCularly for students with IEPs.

Currently, the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement (OSE) investigates illegal hotels in response to 311 complaints. In 2014 OSE received 1,150 complaints of illegal hotels, a 62% increase from 2013. However, according to the October 2014 report by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, there are over 25,000 illegal hotel listings in New York City through the Airbnb platform alone. Clearly, current fines are not a successful deterrent. Furthermore, OSE has limited resources to pursue the scale of illegal hotels in New York City. OSE currently has a staff of 13 people. While OSE can inspect a building with a serious health and safety concern in 24 to 48 hours, it generally takes 3-5 weeks to investigate a complaint.

The hearing followed a large demonstration of over 100 activists and New Yorkers impacted by illegal hotels who rallied in support of efforts by the City Council to rein in illegal operators. Airbnb currently lists over 27,000 residential units for transient hotel use and a report published by the New York State Attorney General analyzing Airbnb bookings in New York City from January 1, 2010 through June 2, 2014, found that nearly 75 percent of Airbnb's listings were in violation of state law.

  • CC Part R Sign on Letter
    March 1, 2021 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo, In 2019, a vast majority of the New York City Council came together to vote in favor of New York City’s ‘Climate Mobilization Act’, a legislative package which included a first-of-its-kind regulation that cuts carbon emissions from the city’s largest source: large buildings over 25,000 square feet. Local Law 97 represents the kind of bold, aggressive action we need in order to adequately confront the climate crisis. In fact, a large swath of the country recently suffered an arctic outbreak that grinded utilities to their breaking point and took human life. Extreme weather like this was previously considered a once in a generation phenomenon. Scientists now tell us to prepare for this as our new normal, unless we dramatically change course. New York has always followed science. It’s for that very reason that the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act set out its own bold target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by the year 2050. Local Law 97 places carbon caps on large buildings, leading to cleaner air and an explosion of new jobs and businesses in energy efficiency and clean technology industries. That is why we write now in strong opposition to the Part R TED bill language in the proposed Executive Budget. This proposal will allow countless building owners to purchase “Tier 2” Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), rather than make much-needed energy efficiency upgrades to their aging and polluting buildings.
