INVOCATION The Invocation was delivered by Rev. Dr. T. Kenjitsu Nakagaki, President of the Buddhist Council of New York, 376 Broadway, New York, New York 10013. Please join me in meditation and prayer. As we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage month we remember that New York City consists of various diverse communities, religions and cultures in a Buddhist tradition, the full moon day of May is considered a sacred day called Vesak which celebrates the birth, the enlightenment, and passing of Gautama Buddha. It is a time to celebrate the preciousness of life that each of us has received, awakened to the full potentiality of each life to attain enlightenment and fulfill the mission that each of us has. So many things are happening in our society and so many things are happening in our lives, yet we should not be controlled or deluded but all the things around us. Now we need to clear our minds and find what we really need to do and what we really need to be focused on to benefit all New Yorkers. Let us nurture the seed of peace and happiness within ourselves so that it will result in beautiful flowers in ourselves and in our society. Please relax yourself and release tension from your body and mind, close your eyes lightly and focus on your breathing, breathe deep using your lower stomach instead of your lungs; (long pause); (bell ringing). Let us plant the seed of peace and happiness within ourselves; (bell ringing). Let us nurture the seed; (bell ringing). And let us share our seeds with others; (chanting). Peace and blessing to you all. Council Member Chin moved to spread the Invocation in full upon the record. During the Communication from the Speaker segment of this Meeting, the Speaker (Council Member Johnson) asked for a Moment of Silence in memory of the following individuals: Army Specialist Gabriel Conde, 22, was killed during combat operations in Afghanistan on April 30, 2018. He served as an airborne qualified infantryman with the 25th Infantry Division’s 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Specialist Conde died weeks before his deployment was scheduled to end. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) offered the Council’s condolences to Specialist Conde’s family, friends, fellow soldiers, and the rest of the country. Former NYPD officer Mark Natale, 55, succumbed to brain cancer that he contracted from his time at Ground Zero following the 9/11 attacks. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) offered the Council’s thoughts and prayers to his loved ones and to the entire NYPD. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) also mentioned the recent commemoration of Worker’s Memorial Day when the city remembers the sacrifice of those workers of New York City who lost their lives during the 1657 May 9, 2018 course of their employment. He proceeded to read the names of a number of workers who had died recently: Mouctar Diallo, 21, a private sanitation worker who was killed in November 2017 but was misclassified as a homeless man at the time of his death; Young-Kil Sim, 62, a food market worker who was crushed by illegally installed equipment; George Staab, 57, a Department of Transportation electrician who was fatally struck by a car while performing routine bridge maintenance; and an NYPD officer, whose name had not been released, who fatally shot himself outside an NYPD facility in April 2018. A Moment of Silence was then observed by all assembled in the Chambers. * * * ADOPTION OF MINUTES Council Member Lancman moved that the Minutes of the Stated Meeting of March 22, 2018 be adopted as printed.
