DINING Coffee club Stumptown coffee is available throughout the borough, but true java geeks should make their way down to Red Hook, where the roaster’s new coffee bar opened this month. Not only is the entire menu of Stumptown beans up for offer, coffee connoisseurs can nerd out by sampling coffee brewed in six different methods: French press, Aeropress, Chemex, Melitta, Siphon or — the most popular sin- gle-cup method — the pour-over bar. The coffee spot will also host regular tast- ings — or cuppings in coffee lingo. “There really isn’t anything like this in New York,” said Matt Lounsbury, director of opera- (718) 260-2500 The Brooklyn Paper’s essential guide to the Borough of Kings October 22-28, 2010 tions at Stumptown in Portland. “People always walk into the roastery trying to buy coffee, so we thought, why not put in a tasting room?” Stumptown Coffee Roasters’ Red Hook Tasting Room (219 Van Brunt St. at Com- merce Street in Red Hook, Friday-Sunday.

n Tuesday, November 2nd, New Yorkers will go to the polls to choose their elected representatives. They Owill also be presented with two questions affecting the City Charter - New York City’s governing document. The New York City Charter Revision Commission encourages New Yorkers to visit our website - www.nyc.gov/charter - to learn more about the ballot proposals and the Commission’s work.

Question 1

Term Limits: Reduce from three to two the maximum number of consecutive full terms that can be served by elected city officials; and Make this change in term limits applicable only to those city officials who were first elected at or after the 2010 general election; and Prohibit the City Council from altering the term limits of elected city officials then serving in office.

Question 2

Disclosure of Independent Campaign Spending: Require public disclosure of expenditures made by entities and individuals independent from candidates to influence the outcome of a city election or referendum; Ballot Access: Generally reduce the number of petition signatures needed by candidates for city elective office to appear on a ballot; Voter Assistance and Campaign Finance Board: Merge voter assistance functions, including a reconstituted Voter Assistance Advisory Committee, into the Campaign Finance Board, and change when Campaign Finance Board member terms begin; Conflicts of Interest Law: Require all public servants to receive conflicts of interest training, raise the maximum fine for a public servant who violates the City’s conflicts of interest law, and allow the City to recover any benefits obtained from such violations; City Administrative Tribunals: Authorize the Mayor to direct the merger of administrative tribunals and adjudications into the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings and permit the Department of Consumer Affairs to adjudicate all violations issued by that department; City Reporting Requirements and Advisory Bodies: Create a commission to review requirements for reports and advisory bodies and waive the requirements, subject to City Council review, where the commission finds they are not of continuing value; and Map for Facility Siting: Include in the City’s facilities siting map those transportation and waste management facilities operated by or for governmental entities, or by private entities that provide comparable services.
