INVOCATION The Invocation was delivered by Elder Renaldo Watkis, 744 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11217. To the Council, good afternoon. Let us pray. Eternal God, it is with thanksgiving that we approach your presence this day in complete humility and humbleness of heart. For another day that you’ve blessed us, we say thank you. We thank you for allowing us to awaken this morning and for allowing life to flow through our bodies. We thank you for providing the basic needs of life, the food that we eat and the very clothes on our backs. We thank you for the soundness of our minds in guiding our very paths. Now, Lord, I ask your blessing upon this council as they’ve been selected and have been given the great task of critiquing, legislating and resolving issues placed before them. Collectively, we pray for this council, our Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, Public Advocate Letitia James, and all who sit in a position of governance, that they would be led with clarity of mind and by your spirit to administrate in this great body. In matters of economics, guide them. In matters of justice, guide them. In matters of housing, guide them. In matters of equality, guide them. In matters of global conditions, guide them, and in matters of the human condition, guide them. And for the families of all those lost in the tragedy of mindless violence, we pray your peace upon them. In the midst of this disaster, Lord comfort all hearts. And so God, we now bless you and commit all things into thine hand. In thy name we pray, Amen. Council Member Barron moved to spread the Invocation in full upon the record. 2249 July 14, 2016 During the Communication from the Speaker segment of this Meeting, the Speaker (Council Member Mark-Viverito) asked for a moment to recognize the tragedy of events which took place in early July 2016 and to honor all the lives that were lost: Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and Dallas Police Officers Brent Thompson, Lorne Ahrens, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, and Michael Smith.

REPORTS OF THE STANDING COMMITTEES Report of the Committee on Consumer Affairs Report for Int. No. 697-A Report of the Committee on Consumer Affairs in favor of approving and adopting, as amended, a Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the regulation of laundries and to repeal subchapter 14 of chapter 2 of title 20 of such code, relating to the regulation of laundries The Committee on Consumer Affairs, to which the annexed proposed amended local law was referred on February 26, 2015 (Minutes, page 642), respectfully REPORTS: INTRODUCTION On Tuesday, July 12, 2016, the Committee on Consumer Affairs, chaired by Council Member Rafael Espinal, will hold a committee vote on Proposed Introductory Bill Number 697-A (“Proposed Int. No. 697- A”), a Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the regulation of laundries and to repeal subchapter 14 of chapter 2 of title 20 of such code, relating to the regulation of laundries. This bill was first heard on June 18, 2015 and has been amended in response to testimony from the administration, advocates and industry. BACKGROUND Laundries in New York City have been regulated since at least the early Twentieth Century. The current laundry licensing subchapter of the Administrative Code provides for a single licensing scheme that is no longer responsive to today’s multi-tiered commercial laundry industry. In addition to retail laundries that serve the general public and operate out of storefronts in mixed-use neighborhoods, businesses known as industrial laundries operate largely outside of City regulations and sometimes fail to implement basic procedures to ensure consumer protections regarding cleanliness and hygiene. Further, businesses that deliver laundry into the City are not covered by current regulations. In response to these concerns, this bill would update and modernize the City’s laundry licensing scheme to better regulate the laundry industry as it operates today. First, this bill would create three distinct license categories for three business models that comprise the industry: (1) retail laundry services to the general public; (2) industrial laundry services to commercial clients such as restaurants, hotels and hospitals; and (3) industrial laundry delivery into the City. Secondly, the bill would create additional requirements for applicants and licensees of industrial laundry and industrial laundry delivery. These additional requirements include a series of certifications to promote general better business practices. These additional requirements would also require industrial laundries to implement procedures to ensure that all laundry is hygienically cleaned and that businesses that engage in industrial laundry delivery implement procedures to ensure functional separation of clean and dirty laundry to maintain cleanliness. Investigative reports and witness testimony from workers in the industry reveal that some industrial laundries serving New York City businesses sometimes fail to implement procedures to ensure consumer 2251 July 14, 2016 protections regarding cleanliness and hygiene.1 Conversely to the retail laundry model, where the customer has a direct relationship with the laundry service provider, the consumers affected by a failure of the industrial laundry to follow proper procedures are the customers of the hotels and restaurants, or patients or staff at a hospital; they are not first-hand customers of the industrial laundry. In response to these reports this bill would require that industrial laundries and businesses that engage in industrial laundry delivery implement plans and procedures to ensure cleanliness and hygiene, and functional separation between clean and dirty laundry, so that all consumers can be confident of the cleanliness of items, such as napkins at New York City restaurants and bedsheets at New York City hotels. Finally, the bill would create a task force that would convene on or before June 15, 2018 for the purposes of reviewing the law, and making any recommendations to the Council and Mayor for improvements to the law.

    2019 ALBANY SOMOS CONFERENCE Saturday, March 9, 2019 Hon. Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Empire State Plaza Convention Center, Albany, New York Hon. Maritza Davila, Chair MORNING SESSIONS (10:00 AM – 11:45 AM) Equal Access to Driver’s Licenses for All New Yorkers Hearing Room A CO-MODERATORS: Assemblyman Marcos Crespo & Senator Luis Sepúlveda DESCRIPTION: There are 750,000 New Yorkers that are unable to obtain driver’s licenses because of their immigration status. In rural areas throughout the Empire state, public transportation is either infrequent, hard to access, or nonexistent. In these areas, driving becomes a privilege many people don’t think about – providing an avenue to commute to work, pick-up children from school, travel to doctor’s appointments, and fulfill many other essential tasks. If New York were to enact the Driver’s License Access and Privacy Act, it would join twelve states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in providing access to licenses for undocumented immigrants. Join us for a panel to discuss the need for this legislation and the ongoing Green Light Campaign that brings together community members, leaders and activists with the shared goal of obtaining equal access to driver’s licenses for all New Yorkers. PANELISTS: Eric Gonzalez, District Attorney, Kings County; Emma Kreyche, Statewide Coordinator, Green Light NY Campaign, Worker Justice Center of New York; Nestor Marquez, Westchester Member, Make the Road New York Securing the Future of New York’s Dreamers Hearing Room B CO-MODERATORS: Assemblywoman Carmen De La Rosa & NYC Councilman Francisco Moya DESCRIPTION: In early 2019, the historic José Peralta New York State DREAM Act (S.1250 / A.782) passed through the state legislature.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

  • TOBACCO (To Be Filed by Manufacturers Who Do Not Participate in the Master Settlement Agreement) for Sales Made Within Michigan During the 2002 Calendar Year
    ANNUAL CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE FOR MANUFACTURER OF CIGARETTES AND/OR “ROLL-YOUR-OWN” TOBACCO (To be filed by manufacturers who do not participate in the Master Settlement Agreement) For sales made within Michigan during the 2002 calendar year Amendments in 2002 to the Tobacco Products Tax Act (1993 PA 327) support enforcement of the escrow requirements for tobacco product manufacturers who are not participating in the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (1999 PA 244). The amendments require that non-participating manufacturers (NPM’s) provide to the State, and anyone who sells their cigarettes and/or ‘roll-your-own’ tobacco for consumption in Michigan, an annual certification of compliance. By providing the certification, they are attesting to the fact that they have met their escrow obligation under Act 244. The amendments prohibit anyone in Michigan from acquiring, possessing, or selling cigarettes and/or ‘roll-your-own’ tobacco manufactured by an NPM who has failed to provide the certification. The Act provides severe penalties for NPM’s, or anyone selling the cigarettes and/or ‘roll-your-own’ tobacco of NPM’s, for failure to comply with the requirements. The cigarettes, including ‘roll-your-own’ tobacco, of an NPM who has failed to provide the annual certification required by the Tobacco Products Tax Act are subject to seizure or confiscation from anyone in possession of them. If an NPM or any other person does not comply with these requirements, they may be subject to a civil fine not to exceed $1,000.00 per violation, in addition to other penalties that may be imposed under this act or the revenue act.

  • The Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground: Lesson Plan Series Maura
    The Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground: Lesson Plan Series Maura Johnson Sinead Lamel Faculty Advisor: Dr. Johnathan Thayer Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College, CUNY Introduction The Old Towne of Flushing Burial Ground in Flushing, Queens is now home to a park and playground but was an active burial ground from 1840 to 1914. The site was used specifically as an African American and Native American burial ground as well as a public cemetery for those who could not afford a proper burial, and for victims of various pandemics. In 1936, the site was transformed into a park under the guidance of Robert Moses, but since the 1980's community advocates have been working to reclaim the space and honor those buried there. This series of lesson plans focuses on using primary source materials to encourage students to think critically about the history and legacy of the historic Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground in Flushing, Queens. Each lesson incorporates a central theme, discussion questions, and archival source materials.
