[25:47] in economic opportunity,

[25:49] al disparity in maternal

[25:51] health outcomes and the need

[25:52] for crime victims services

[25:55] that have long impacted,

[25:56] historically overlooked

[25:57] communities of color and

[25:59] whether it was opening

[26:00] pathways to economic mobility

[26:01] through cuny reconnect, which

[26:03] has now enrolled over 62000

[26:08] new yorkers, the majority of

[28:07] of centering communities most

[28:09] harmed by an equity, an

[28:12] important legacy of our

[28:13] leadership is not just holding

[28:16] government accountable and

[28:17] legislating solutions t

[28:18] oaddress these inequities but

[28:21] also incubating innovative new

[28:22] programs that directly address

[28:28] state's first trauma recovery

[28:29] centers in our city to help

[28:31] black, latino and asian

[28:33] communities received the

[28:34] support to end cycles of

[28:36] violence, which is especially

[28:38] important as these communities

[28:40] have historically lacked

[28:42] access to traditional crime

[28:45] victims services to address

[28:46] the economic and employment

[28:46] barriers that have contributed

[28:48] to a mental health and

[28:50] workforce shortage we launched

[28:52] the cuny social work fellows,

[28:54] which will help us improve

[28:55] mental health outcomes, and we

[28:58] created the first city funded

[29:00] guaranteed income program t

[29:01] ohelp new mothers avoid

[29:04] homelessness, improve maternal

[29:05] health and

[29:06] .>>reduce child poverty. These

[29:07] have been investments in

[29:09] innovation to confront deeply

[29:13] entrenched inequities. Our

[29:14] city is only as strong as our

[29:15] people and I'm so proud of how

[29:18] we prioritize yorkers over the

[29:20] last four years when chaos in

[29:29] conditions of our communities,

[29:31] ensuring that all of us can

[29:32] live healthy and and dignified

[29:35] lives our city must continue

[29:38] to champion black, latino,

[29:38] asian and immigrant

[29:39] communities that have not

[29:41] always received equitable

[29:43] priority and uplift the

[29:44] working people who make our

[29:48] city run, the council must

[29:49] continue to move city

[29:50] government to focus on new

[29:52] yorkers pushed to the margins.

[56:12] .>>thank you. Today. I am

[56:14] urging my colleagues to vote I

[56:16] on 312 the safer sanctuary act

[56:19] , our sanctuary laws exist for

[56:21] one reason and it's to keep

[56:25] people safe

[56:25] .>>the data is clear sanctuary

[56:26] counties are safer per capita,

[56:28] the non sanctuary counties

[56:29] because when you drive people

[56:31] into hiding, they don't seek

[56:32] health care they don't seek

[56:33] public safety officials. They

[56:34] are more likely to be harmed

[56:36] ,they become afraid to sen

[56:37] dtheir children to school.

[56:39] they're afraid to go to work

[56:39] and participate in our economy

[56:41] and that makes us all less

[56:45] safe

[56:45] .>>under the trump

[56:46] administration federal

[56:46] agencies that usually have

[56:48] nothing to do with immigration

[56:50] enforcement are suddenly being

[56:52] turned into tools of fear. So

[56:53] we must pass the safer

[56:55] sanctuary act to clarify and

[56:57] strengthen our sanctuary law

[56:58] sso that no one can claim

[57:02] confusion or loopholes,

[57:03] regardless of which federal

[57:04] agency is being used for

[57:07] immigration enforcement. The

[57:08] safer sanctuary act also stops

[57:09] ice from setting up offices

[57:09] inside of our jails, new

[57:12] yorkers already disappear

[57:13] inside those walls and they

[57:14] cannot also become a

[57:17] deportation machine. If we

[57:18] succeed in passing the safer

[57:19] sanctuary act. It will be the

[57:22] most significant update of new

[57:24] york sanctuary city laws in

[57:25] nearly a decade and we need it

[57:28] desperately we've.

[57:29] >>seen seniors beaten pregnant

[57:32] mother, shackled, children

[57:33] torn away from their parents,

[57:34] including six year olds ripped

[57:35] from their fathers arms. These

[57:37] are kidnappings, their acts of

[57:39] terror and that are happening

[57:40] in our city to our neighbors

[57:43] fear and terror don't make us

[57:45] safe safety comes from

[57:46] community from solidarity from

[57:50] fighting for each other and

[57:51] the safer sanctuary act is a

[57:53] critical tool in that fight.

[58:19] sanchez. Thank you, majority

[58:20] leader. We are at.

[58:21] >>a pivotal moment for street

[58:23] vending and as the daughter

[58:25] and granddaughter of street

[58:26] vendors. I could not be

[58:29] prouder of how far we've come

[58:30] a week ago, I stood at a rally

[58:32] where street vendors were

[58:34] alongside. Bodega does

[58:37] restaurants, supermarkets, all

[58:37] side by side calling for one

[58:41] thing.

[58:41] >>to finally fix our broken

[58:42] vending system that moment

[58:44] matters because it shows how

[58:46] far we've come when we started

[58:48] a old license caps made legal

[58:51] compliance nearly impossible

[58:53] for most vendors, enforcement

[58:54] was inconsistent and effective

[58:56] and stakeholders were so

[58:57] polarized that many feare

[58:58] deven sitting at the same table

[59:02] vendors felt criminalized

[59:02] brick and mortar businesses

[59:04] felt ignored. Reform was

[59:06] stalled, but today's bill is

[59:08] more balanced with broader

[59:10] brick and mortar support than

[59:11] ever before and that's because

[59:13] david, 31 expands access t

[59:17] olicenses pairing that access

[59:18] with real enforcement,

[59:20] stricter suspension and

[59:21] revocation standards, stronger

[59:23] penalties for unlicensed

[59:24] bending and new requirements

[59:25] around cleanliness and waste.

[59:28] this is a sea change and

[59:28] implementation will not be

[59:30] easy. Easy. I urge my

[59:31] colleagues to vote I and

[59:33] everyone who was at the table

[59:35] to stay there with us as we

[1:00:41] >>ready, but I really want to

[1:00:44] just thank my colleagues in

[1:00:45] advance for support today on

[1:00:46] intro 9 94 this legislation is

[1:00:52] groundbreaking, I it will

[1:00:54] allow for every tenant in new

[1:00:55] york city to access cooling in

[1:00:57] their homes just like we

[1:00:58] required landlords to provide

[1:00:59] cooling 107 years ago. It

[1:01:01] provide heating 107 years ago

[1:01:04] after a cold famine. We are

[1:01:05] now going to finally be

[1:01:07] requiring access to cooling

[1:01:08] for tenants as well, starting

[1:01:09] in 20 30 and that's because

[1:01:11] extreme heat is the number one

[1:01:13] climate killer 580 people die

[1:01:16] every single year in new york

[1:01:17] city from extreme heat and the

[1:01:19] most common factor among them

[1:01:20] is that they lack access t

[1:01:22] ocooling in their homes. This

[1:01:24] bill will change that once and

[1:01:25] for all it will save hundred

[1:01:26] sof lives a year and create a

[1:01:27] model framework for oerth

[1:01:31] even around the globe t

[1:01:43] ireally want to thank the

[1:01:43] council team led by jeff baker

[1:01:47] on his second child, billy

[1:01:49] beck and many others for their

[1:01:50] hard work on this

[1:01:57] people worked harder than I

[1:01:59] could ever, ever imagined to

[1:02:00] get this bill done and get the

[1:02:02] environmental review done and

[1:02:02] so I really want to thank my

[1:02:35] to make this bill possible. U

[1:02:38] m, I this was a bit of an

[1:02:39] emotional roller coaster. I

[1:02:40] didn't think this bill was

[1:02:41] going to get done at multiple

[1:02:42] times over the last few weeks,

[1:02:43] but it was the hard work of

[1:02:56] bills that were voting on

[1:02:57] today, including three of my

[1:02:58] bills, one related to police

[1:03:00] their transparency and dr.

[1:03:01] related to syringe

[1:03:03] distribution programs on the

[1:03:03] police bill we've made a lot

[1:03:05] of progress on the issue of

[1:03:07] safety shootings are down.

[1:03:08] homicides are down. This I

[1:03:09] sgood and it's also good that

[1:03:11] we have data to data related

[1:03:15] to the summers. It's also

[1:03:16] important, however, that we

[1:03:17] analyzed information related

[1:03:18] to the resolution of these

[1:03:19] cases so that we can know

[1:03:22] whether some issues need so

[1:03:23] that we can know which cases

[1:03:25] are being resolved which cases

[1:03:26] are not being resolved and so

[1:03:27] that we can know which issues

[1:03:29] need more attention and

[1:03:31] resources and this bill will

[1:03:31] help us do exactly that on the

[1:03:35] two syringe bills, our mobile

[1:03:36] syringe distribution programs

[1:03:37] are lifesaving. I have many of

[1:03:38] them in my district and I see

[1:03:39] the work on a daily.

[1:03:40] >>basis. These programs are

[1:03:42] literally life saving they

[1:03:44] that those who drugged at the

[1:03:45] drug addiction of china get

[1:03:47] resources and the help that

[1:03:48] they need encoding being

[1:03:52] surrenders lifesaving program

[1:03:52] s, but we must make sure that

[1:03:53] we execute them.

[1:03:54] >>the right way. Uh, my bill

[1:03:56] will help do that by requiring

[1:03:58] that a surrender.

[1:03:59] distributions be conducted at

[1:04:01] least 50 feet from children's

[1:04:02] playgrounds and schools to

[1:04:03] help ensure that use and

[1:04:04] renters do not end up in

[1:04:05] places where children are at

[1:04:08] your syringes as we know can

[1:04:09] be too many challenges

[1:04:10] ,including lack of access t

[1:04:12] othose playgrounds even worse,

[1:04:13] it could lead to tragedy. Um,

[1:04:15] my bull also ensure that

[1:04:17] disposal containers we

[1:04:17] provided, so they used

[1:04:20] syringes could be disposed o

[1:04:21] fin a safe way. This is a very

[1:04:22] complex issue. These bills are

[1:04:23] not going to fully resolve the

[1:04:24] problem, but they are an

[1:04:26] important step, so I encourage

[1:04:27] everybody to support them.

[1:04:54] where we're setting records

[1:04:57] for passing legislation, a lot

[1:04:58] of people get frustrated with

[1:04:59] that, but these two are

[1:05:01] different and these are the

[1:05:02] kinds of moments that remind

[1:05:04] you why public service matters

[1:05:06] the first is chris walsh,

[1:05:09] chris walsh wasn't really a

[1:05:10] politician, although we did

[1:05:11] run for office before in fact,

[1:05:12] he ran from my seat. He didn't

[1:05:13] win, I didn't vote for him, in

[1:05:14] fact, I managed the campaign

[1:05:16] for the other guy, but he

[1:05:19] wasn't looking for recognition

[1:05:20] . He was someone who quietly

[1:05:22] devoted decades of his life to

[1:05:24] staten island and new york

[1:05:27] city, especially to youth and

[1:05:28] adult sports on the south

[1:05:29] shore. He was a lifelong

[1:05:31] member of the department of

[1:05:33] sanitation, but for

[1:05:34] generations. What really mad

[1:05:35] ehim known and famous to

[1:05:37] everybody was if you played

[1:05:38] softball or football in

[1:05:39] tottenville, chances are you

[1:05:40] did so on a field that chris

[1:05:42] walsh cared for it, he cut the

[1:05:43] grass he picks the drainage he

[1:05:44] lined the fields he made sure

[1:05:46] those spaces were safe,

[1:05:49] dignified and worthy of the

[1:05:50] people using them. He built

[1:05:50] community, the old fashioned

[1:05:53] way by showing up day after

[1:05:54] day and even while battling

[1:05:56] cancer, he remained generous

[1:05:58] and encouraging the second co

[1:06:00] naming honors, staff sergeant

[1:06:01] william t. Johnson, a native

[1:06:03] son of staten island, whose

[1:06:05] story deserves to be

[1:06:06] remembered far beyond our

[1:06:08] neighborhood, william johnson

[1:06:10] graduated from tottenville

[1:06:10] high school served as a new

[1:06:11] york city police officer and

[1:06:14] then answered his nation's

[1:06:15] call during world war as a

[1:06:17] radio operator and aerial

[1:06:19] gunner aboard a b 24 bomber

[1:06:21] with the eighth air force. He

[1:06:23] flew dangerous missions over

[1:06:24] europe and on july 2 1944, his

[1:06:27] aircraft was shot down over

[1:06:29] promised while returning from

[1:06:31] a mission targeting german e

[1:06:36] boat he's buried at normandy

[1:06:37] was awarded the purple heart

[1:06:39] and finally 80 years later

[1:10:57] inuits. Thank. Thank you,

[1:10:59] madam majority leader today

[1:10:59] we're voting on a bill that

[1:11:02] answers the question. Who are

[1:11:04] we actually building housing

[1:11:05] david for too long our

[1:11:07] affordable housing system is

[1:11:10] measured success almost

[1:11:10] entirely by the number of

[1:11:14] units produced without asking.

[1:11:14] what do those units reflect

[1:11:15] the real needs of new yorkers

[1:11:17] it often seems like wants t

[1:11:20] obuild units, but I want to

[1:11:23] house and right now, city

[1:11:26] funded housing overwhelmingly

[1:11:27] prioritizes studios and one

[1:11:28] bed apartments. In fact

[1:11:29] ,current term sheets encouraged

[1:11:31] developments were as much as

[1:11:34] 70% of the units fall into

[1:11:35] those categories that approach

[1:11:38] boost unit counts, but it

[1:11:39] ignores the lived reality of

[1:11:40] families across our city is

[1:11:42] family's with children and

[1:11:43] even multi households. The

[1:11:47] consequences are clear

[1:11:48] families with young children

[1:11:49] are leaving new york city at

[1:11:52] alarming rates and roughly 70%

[1:11:53] of people in our shelter

[1:11:55] system are members of homeless

[1:11:58] families when we failed to

[1:11:59] build housing that families

[1:12:00] can actually live in, we push

[1:12:00] them out or worse,

[1:12:01] >>push them into crisis in

[1:12:04] show 433, responds directly t

[1:12:07] othat reality, the bill

[1:12:09] establishes clear citywide

[1:12:10] minimums for family size

[1:12:12] housing in projects that

[1:12:14] received citi financial

[1:12:16] assistance this legislation

[1:12:17] also strengthens the city's

[1:12:18] fair housing framework by

[1:12:20] explicitly require

[1:12:21] consideration of the housing

[1:12:22] needs of families and aging

[1:12:26] adults, including the

[1:12:26] availability and affordability

[1:12:27] of 2 and 3 pedram apartments

[1:12:29] and senior housing. This is

[1:12:31] that equity is not just

[1:12:32] aspirational but built int

[1:12:33] oour long term planning. I want

[1:12:37] to thank advocates community

[1:12:38] leaders and housing experts

[1:12:39] who made an recommendations t

[1:13:31] of our decisions and

[1:13:32] .>>242, addresses the digital

[1:13:35] divide facing our public

[1:13:38] school students. While we've

[1:13:38] made progress since the

[1:13:40] pandemic too many families

[1:13:41] still lack reliable internet

[1:13:44] access or functional devices

[1:13:47] at home that reality

[1:13:49] undermines learning during

[1:13:50] snow days, emergencies and

[1:13:52] hybrid instruction and a

[1:13:54] disproportionately impacts low

[1:13:56] income communities. This bill

[1:13:57] requires the department of

[1:13:58] education to read report on

[1:14:00] student access to internet and

[1:14:04] devices.

[1:14:04] >>incorporate parent and

[1:14:31] despite how heavily these

[1:14:33] bands are relied upon the city

[1:14:35] lacks a comprehensive

[1:14:37] understanding of where and how

[1:14:39] they operate this bill direct

[1:14:41] the department of

[1:14:43] transportation to conduct a

[1:14:44] thorough study so future

[1:15:45] that. I know that there have

[1:15:47] been challenges about this

[1:15:48] bill from the department of

[1:15:50] finance, but I believe that

[1:15:51] unlike the current tax lien

[1:15:53] system where properties go to

[1:15:55] the highest bidder, regardless

[1:15:56] of intended use this bill will

[1:15:59] establish a higher ranking a

[1:16:02] priorities that I mentioned

[1:16:03] earlier for they use the real

[1:16:04] property upon disposal by the

[1:16:06] land bank, and I don't think

[1:16:11] resolution of unpaid city

[1:16:13] taxes and timely collection of

[1:18:49] and lift today is a new day

[1:18:52] for drivers of our city, some

[1:18:53] of our most essential workers

[1:18:55] who keep this city moving

[1:18:57] drivers last night were ending

[1:18:59] their ships at 2 4 or even six

[1:19:03] a. M, but they knew they'd be

[1:19:04] going to sleep and waking up

[1:19:04] to the future they deserve.

[1:19:06] they knew that when the city

[1:19:07] council clocked in today this

[1:19:09] morning, they would finally as

[1:19:10] drivers have the job

[1:19:26] taking back the power from

[1:19:28] uber and lyft and returning it

[1:19:29] to where it belongs with

[1:19:32] drivers. The fact of the

[1:19:33] matter is every worker in new

[1:19:34] york city deserves dignity,

[1:19:35] the right to notice an

[1:19:36] explanation as to why they've

[1:19:38] been fired and an opportunity

[1:19:38] to make their case, but in a

[1:19:40] matter of seconds right now

[1:19:42] uber lift can strip the lab

[1:19:54] permanently and then they have

[1:19:55] no way to pay off the $30000

[1:19:58] to start driving soon enoug

[1:19:59] hthey won't be able to put food

[1:20:00] on the dinner table and their

[1:20:04] my bill in 276 with the new

[1:20:07] york taxi workers allianc

[1:20:08] eputs an end to these unfair

[1:20:10] and unjust firings, giving

[1:20:12] workers notice just cause, and

[1:20:15] it process no longer our uber

[1:20:16] and lift the judge, jury and

[1:20:18] prosecutor in these cases

[1:20:20] ,this is about due process for

[1:20:23] drivers. I proud of this

[1:20:24] accounts was championing this

[1:20:26] bill and starting a nationwide

[1:20:28] movement to end unfair firings

[1:20:29] of based drivers to hold

[1:20:33] corporations accountable that

[1:20:34] are spreading fear, fear about

[1:20:36] what's happening with this

[1:20:38] bill fear about drivers

[1:20:39] because that's all they know

[1:20:40] because they are afraid of

[1:20:42] what happens when workers rise

[1:20:43] up and have power. We are

[1:20:46] proving once again that this

[1:20:46] is a council that stands up

[1:20:48] for workers and is committed

[1:20:49] to making new york city, a

[1:20:50] city for working families. I

[1:20:52] want to thank speaker adams,

[1:20:54] for our leadership in bringin

[1:20:55] gthis bill up for a vote. I

[1:20:56] want to thank the new york

[1:21:27] varennikov

[1:21:27] .>>thank you today, this

[1:21:28] council is voting on

[1:21:30] introduction niner to be copa,

[1:21:32] which would compel property

[1:21:34] owners to offer their

[1:21:35] properties to nonprofit

[1:21:36] sbefore being able to put it on

[1:21:38] the market. That means with

[1:21:40] some exceptions, property

[1:21:41] owners would no longer be able

[1:21:43] to choose how to dispose of

[1:21:46] their property. This is an

[1:21:47] unacceptable state imposed and

[1:21:50] potentially illegal intrusion

[1:21:51] into our private property

[1:21:52] rights. It is a stunning

[1:21:54] example of government

[1:21:55] overreach and communist agenda

[1:21:56] that has found its way to new

[1:21:58] york city being pushed under

[1:21:59] the guise of helping the poor

[1:22:01] and the and the

[1:22:03] underprivileged, but in

[1:22:05] reality, only harming them.

[1:22:06] copa will not only make

[1:22:08] housing less affordable

[1:22:10] decreased property values and

[1:22:11] make it harder to buy and sell

[1:22:13] property but also raises

[1:22:15] serious this constitutional

[1:22:18] issues, including but not

[1:22:19] limited to a violation of our

[1:22:21] due process and

[1:22:24] unconstitutional taking an

[1:22:25] unconstitutional restriction

[1:22:26] and commercial speech and

[1:22:27] imposition of excessive fines

[1:22:30] and much, much more, I urged

[1:22:31] my colleagues to vote? No. And

[1:22:33] this terrible and likely

[1:22:34] unconstitutional. Bill. Thank

[1:22:38] you,

[1:22:38] >>but recognizing

[1:22:38] councilmember number one,

[1:22:39] followed by merely the nurse.

[1:22:41] thank you

[1:22:41] ,>>so much majority leader.

[1:22:44] >>today we're voting on my

[1:22:45] bill and true 2 4 7 9, whic

[1:22:46] hstrengthens oversight of city

[1:22:48] contracts valued at a hundred

[1:22:50] thousand dollars or more by

[1:22:51] requiring contractors t

[1:22:53] oidentify, certify and report

[1:22:53] conflict of interests and

[1:22:57] serious misconduct. This bil

[1:22:58] lis important given the

[1:22:59] repeated corruption and

[1:23:00] procurement scandals that we

[1:23:00] have a witness of new yorkers

[1:23:02] and as legislators under the

[1:23:05] current mayoral administrator

[1:23:08] administration, including high

[1:23:09] profile cases of fraud abuse

[1:23:09] within our contracting system.

[1:23:12] these incidents have exposed

[1:23:13] gaps our oversight and

[1:23:14] undermine public trust and put

[1:23:15] the dollars at risk at minimum

[1:23:19] of millions and millions of

[1:23:21] dollars intro 4 7 9 8 closes

[1:23:23] the gap by requiring the city

[1:23:24] prepare mint officer in

[1:23:26] consultation with the conflict

[1:23:27] of interest board and the

[1:23:28] department of investigation t

[1:23:30] oestablish carle standardized

[1:23:33] procedures contractors must

[1:23:34] use to detect conflict of

[1:23:34] interest and misconduct

[1:23:36] involving their employees and

[1:23:39] subcontractors.

[1:23:39] >>contractors must certify

[1:23:40] compliance and promptly notify

[1:23:41] the city if problems arise

[1:23:46] ,this legislation strengthens

[1:23:46] accountability, protects the

[1:23:47] integrity of our procurement

[1:23:48] process and helps the city

[1:23:50] contracts serve the public

[1:23:51] interest, not private gain.

[1:23:53] this was inspired by countless

[1:23:54] fthe parks department and nycha

[1:23:59] as well where we had so many

[1:24:01] contractors that have been

[1:24:02] flagged for corruption from

[1:24:05] waste left to other

[1:24:07] embezzlement that have gone

[1:24:09] through our cities contracting

[1:24:10] process. So thank you to our

[1:24:12] senior legislative council

[1:24:13] alex pauline off policy

[1:24:14] analyst alex. Yeah, blonde

[1:24:18] financial analysts own

[1:24:18] kotowski for their work on the

[1:24:21] bill and I when the city

[1:24:24] passes the spill, I implore

[1:24:26] all of you just pass this bill

[1:24:27] and I look forward to seeing

[1:24:31] much better procurement in our

[1:24:32] city so that we're using our

[1:24:34] taxpayer dollars in the right

[1:24:35] way. Thank you so much.

[1:24:38] >>recognizing councilmember

[1:24:39] mealy. I just would like t

[1:24:41] oaccess my colleagues to vote

[1:24:43] no on nine. I know to be and I

[1:24:45] concur with my colleague verte

[1:24:48] ughco in regards to we should

[1:24:49] not have the city government

[1:24:53] telling us who we could

[1:24:55] purchase or sell our own

[1:24:58] property to this. I know as a

[1:25:00] violation, no matter what way

[1:25:02] we put this if you buy your

[1:25:06] own home blood, sweat and

[1:25:07] tears and now the city going

[1:25:09] to tell you who you can sell

[1:25:11] your own property to his

[1:25:14] absurd and I hope m

[1:25:16] ycolleagues understand this.

[1:25:19] maybe when? Years from now

[1:25:20] when your children want t

[1:25:22] osell their homes to their

[1:25:23] child. They cannot do it. They

[1:25:25] have to go through or give it

[1:25:30] to a nonprofit

[1:25:31] .>>in which we don't know. Half

[1:25:32] of the nonprofits have

[1:25:33] violations. They are not good

[1:25:35] actors anyway, so I just hope

[1:25:37] my colleagues will vote no on

[1:25:38] that and I hope my colleagues

[1:25:41] to vote no on land use fort

[1:25:45] david, 14, in which is in my

[1:25:59] which we gave 40 years before

[1:26:02] and now they accent for 40

[1:26:06] years again. And guess what we

[1:26:07] gave the money back then. How

[1:26:10] many of our new yorkers would

[1:26:11] love to, not to pay taxes for

[1:26:15] 80 years. Think about that

[1:26:18] just because you know someone

[1:26:19] in finance or someone that's

[1:26:22] in a city that should not be a

[1:26:23] representative for you to get

[1:26:28] free for not pan taxes for 8

[1:26:31] 0years, I hope my members vote

[1:26:33] no on this article 14 4 14 I

[1:26:39] nwhich they have not did

[1:26:40] anything to upgrade this

[1:26:44] property

[1:26:44] .>>half of it is vacant and no

[1:26:46] one know who's really the

[1:26:47] owners. Now, I hope my

[1:26:49] colleagues think about this.

[1:26:53] imagine. Hey, taxes, anyone

[1:26:55] council member.

[1:26:55] >>when normal pete

[1:26:57] councilmember your time has

[1:26:58] already explained year out of

[1:27:01] order fan taxes somebody eight

[1:27:05] years. That's a sergeant's

[1:27:05] ,can you please go meet her

[1:27:06] ,mike. Thank you so much your

[1:27:08] time has expired

[1:27:12] .>>now recognizing council

[1:27:18] nurse, right. Thank you,

[1:27:19] majority leader. I wasn't

[1:27:20] going to speak, but there were

[1:27:22] shots fired. So, um oh, that's

[1:27:26] so today I'm putting forward

[1:27:29] bills for homeowners, owners

[1:27:30] and tenants. Um,

[1:27:33] >>the opposition to these

[1:27:34] bills coming from individuals

[1:27:36] who have done nothing for

[1:27:38] homeowners are tenants. Um,

[1:27:42] >>my bills intros 14 19 and 1

[1:27:45] 420 we are passing long overdue

[1:27:46] reforms to the lien sale that

[1:27:48] get rid of the opaque trust

[1:27:50] system and bring municipal

[1:27:52] debt collection back into

[1:27:53] public hands through a

[1:27:55] municipal land bank model that

[1:27:57] balances our budget while

[1:27:59] protecting homeowners were

[1:28:00] also voting on my bill in 14

[1:28:02] 243 to ensure that when we do

[1:28:03] spend our public dollars. We

[1:28:07] are building housing and

[1:28:08] producing homes for low income

[1:28:10] families, which everybody in

[1:28:11] this room agrees are the

[1:28:12] number one group leaving this

[1:28:14] city right now. Today we're

[1:28:16] also voting on the community

[1:28:18] opportunity to purchase act, a

[1:28:20] landmark piece of social

[1:28:21] housing legislation that I

[1:28:22] inherited in culpable give,

[1:28:27] certified vetted preservation

[1:28:28] buyers. The first chance to

[1:28:29] buy buildings that are in

[1:28:31] physical distress that are in

[1:28:33] city enforcement programs for

[1:28:34] very lengthy periods of tim

[1:28:37] eand that have expiring

[1:28:38] affordability restrictions.

[1:28:39] this is creating a program

[1:28:40] that will protect tenants and

[1:28:43] preserved permanently

[1:28:45] affordable homes. I asked all

[1:28:46] of my colleagues to do their

[1:28:49] reading before they come to

[1:28:50] vote on bills. Make sure you

[1:28:51] know what you're talking about

[1:28:54] this bill does not impact

[1:28:57] homeowners in it with fiber

[1:28:59] less units. Some people wanted

[1:29:00] that, but we didn't get that?

[1:29:01] what we have before us is a

[1:29:03] bill that achieves as much

[1:29:04] consensus from as many

[1:29:05] stakeholders as possible, and

[1:29:07] I urge my colleagues to take a

[1:29:09] good look, and I ask for your

[1:29:12] support. Thank you

[1:29:13] .>>recognizing council member

[1:29:18] in regard to what we just

[1:29:20] talking about now. Copa. How

[1:29:23] wrong can a person be your

[1:29:25] body of a government be when

[1:29:26] we start to take the

[1:29:28] individual rights away from

[1:29:30] the homeowner whether it's a

[1:29:31] two family house, eric family

[1:29:33] house for family house. What

[1:29:34] does it matter. The ft iacs,

[1:29:37] the person owns the home. They

[1:29:38] have the right to sell the

[1:29:41] home tomb they please the idea

[1:29:44] that we have to consult with

[1:29:47] the building department and

[1:29:48] give us six month period of

[1:29:50] time for someone else to make

[1:29:52] an offer is absolutely

[1:29:54] outrageous had say it's

[1:29:55] government overreach is 100%

[1:30:00] true, this is absolutely

[1:30:00] maniacal. I do not understand

[1:30:03] how this body works when it

[1:30:06] comes to individual citizens

[1:30:08] of this city. This is

[1:30:09] overreach at its very best.

[1:30:11] I'm a hold on me, homeowner

[1:30:13] and no one is going to tell me

[1:30:16] or anybody else I know that's

[1:30:17] worked so damn hard to own a

[1:30:21] three or four family home that

[1:30:23] I have to submit the ability

[1:30:25] to sell my house first to the

[1:30:28] building department and then

[1:30:28] offer it up to a non for

[1:30:30] profit when my neighbor across

[1:30:31] the street want to buy it and

[1:30:33] they have to wait six months

[1:30:38] .nonsense. This is absolutel

[1:30:39] yridiculous and also I want to

[1:30:40] just add to this hearing today

[1:30:43] . This this meeting today

[1:30:46] ,that is absolutely ridiculous

[1:30:48] and and everybody in this room

[1:30:49] should be terribly embarrassed

[1:30:51] that we stripped off veterans

[1:30:54] women of this country deserve

[1:31:02] better treatment and are city

[1:31:06] today that we passed in

[1:31:08] committee has failed to come

[1:31:09] through for our veterans

[1:31:11] stripped it totally off the

[1:31:13] record for today, absolutely

[1:31:15] ridiculous. Thank you very

[1:31:16] much and shameful shame. Shame

[1:31:18] on all of you seeing no one

[1:31:25] else signed up to speak. We're

[1:31:27] going to move to the agenda

[1:31:30] report of special. Oh,

[1:31:33] apologies. Recognizing deputy

[1:31:34] speakers

[1:31:35] .>>no, thank you. Thank you so

[1:31:36] much and I'm sorry. Raised my

[1:31:37] hand a little bit late. I just

[1:31:38] wanted to chime in on the

[1:31:40] whole copa conversation and

[1:31:41] kind of share my two senses, I

[1:31:43] think people are, you know,

[1:31:45] mistaking what the intent of

[1:31:46] this bill is this bill is not

[1:31:48] intended to take over and t

[1:31:49] otake anybody's property, but

[1:31:51] there are properties that

[1:31:52] exists in some of our

[1:31:52] communities that are already

[1:31:55] in stress that sometimes the

[1:31:56] city's is already putting into

[1:31:58] like their party transfer

[1:31:59] programs and you know someone

[1:32:00] will come in and they'll bid

[1:32:01] on it that we don't know

[1:32:03] that's not from our community

[1:32:05] not have the best intentions

[1:32:08] and so you know, I just want

[1:32:10] to clarify that in my district

[1:32:11] . I have a number of nonprofit

[1:32:15] organizations that had the

[1:32:17] foresight to acquire a number

[1:32:19] of buildings that fall into

[1:32:20] this category many, many years

[1:32:21] ago, and it was because of

[1:32:23] that foresight that we were

[1:32:25] able to avoid a full arm, you

[1:32:28] know, gentrification wave that

[1:32:29] came our way many years ago

[1:32:31] because those nonprofits have

[1:32:33] preserved those buildings and

[1:32:36] perpetuity. So there is a very

[1:32:37] small universe of buildings

[1:32:37] that would qualify for this

[1:32:39] program. But if they did

[1:32:40] .>>iris as a resident of my

[1:32:42] community would rather that

[1:32:44] buildings that are being sold

[1:32:45] that are already in trouble,

[1:32:46] we be sold to somebody from

[1:32:48] the community a non profit

[1:32:49] from the community that knows,

[1:32:52] you know what the ins and outs

[1:32:55] of that neighborhood rather

[1:32:56] than through some speculator

[1:32:57] that's going to come in and

[1:32:59] you take those buildings and

[1:33:00] do god knows what and there

[1:33:01] will be, you know a little t

[1:33:03] ono accountability, so I want

[1:33:06] to thank, you know, sandy

[1:33:06] nurse having the bravery to

[1:33:07] deal with the insults and you

[1:33:10] know the accusations and and

[1:33:11] just the nastiness. And since

[1:33:13] you know I'm on my way out, I

[1:33:14] would just say, you know we

[1:33:14] need to do better. We're going

[1:33:16] grown adults in this room.

[1:33:17] we've all done things that we

[1:33:18] talk probably should not have

[1:33:20] said things that we probably

[1:33:21] should not have said and a lot

[1:33:22] of us should be embarrassed

[1:33:24] and absolutely actually sit

[1:33:25] here with the first face like

[1:33:26] we have nothing to be

[1:33:27] embarrassed about this is not

[1:33:29] one of those cases, sandy did

[1:33:30] a fantastic job and I urge all

[1:33:32] of my colleagues who actually

[1:33:34] understood the piece of

[1:33:35] legislation to support her

[1:33:36] because it is not easy to get

[1:33:39] these things done, and it's a

[1:33:40] shame that we even have t

[1:33:41] ohave this conversation to the

[1:33:42] thank you. So

[1:33:43] .>>much recognizing council

[1:33:52] epstein.

[1:33:52] >>I've been privileged to be

[1:33:53] here for two weeks and I have

[1:33:55] to say if you think about the

[1:33:56] issues that affect working

[1:33:57] class new yorkers

[1:33:58] .>>today is the day to be proud

[1:34:01] of. We're talking about

[1:34:02] helping delivery workers we

[1:34:05] are talking about helping

[1:34:05] ensure that people who are

[1:34:07] uber and lyft drivers get

[1:34:09] .>>justice. We're talking about

[1:34:10] creating opportunities for

[1:34:12] more affordable.

[1:34:12] >>housing really want to

[1:34:13] applaud my colleagues today

[1:34:14] because this is what new york

[1:34:16] stands for.

[1:34:16] >>this is what we're fighting

[1:34:18] for

[1:34:18] .>>this is an opportunity t

[1:34:19] osave new york that we see you.

[1:34:21] we know the affordability

[1:34:23] crisis exist, people talk

[1:34:24] about it every day, but these

[1:34:27] are real ways to manage that

[1:34:27] to keep people in the

[1:34:28] affordable homes

[1:34:29] .>>to fight for working class

[1:34:31] job, and saif, our community.

[1:34:33] that's why I see happening on

[1:34:34] this agenda and that's what we

[1:34:35] should be proud of and they're

[2:02:49] my colleagues, we have some

[2:02:51] tremendous bills that we are

[2:02:52] voting on today, and

[2:02:53] particularly on the work of

[2:02:54] protection angle. I just want

[2:02:56] to say since we as a city

[2:02:58] cannot have a city department

[2:02:59] of labor because we are

[2:03:01] preempted by the state it's

[2:03:03] incumbent upon this city

[2:03:04] council to do really strong,

[2:03:07] robust worker protection and

[2:03:09] that's exactly what we're

[2:03:10] doing today, I particularly

[2:03:12] want to congratulate and thank

[2:03:14] on street vending council.

[2:03:17] sanchez, who had a very big

[2:03:18] idea and had to contend with a

[2:03:21] lot of stakeholders and she

[2:03:22] really listened and I know

[2:03:23] moving forward in the next

[2:03:24] iteration of the council and I

[2:03:29] want to congratulate council

[2:03:30] krishnan, who also had a very

[2:03:33] difficult bill listening to a

[2:03:34] lot of stakeholders and so

[2:03:36] there is some fantastic bills

[2:03:38] that we are voting on today. I

[2:03:39] just want to congratulat

[2:03:40] eeveryone. I'm voting aye on

[2:03:43] all. With the exception of

[2:03:44] intra nine. Oh to b and 14 51

[2:03:47] for, which I have abstained.

[2:03:57] thank you. Thank you, you

[2:04:22] murano

[2:04:23] .>>permission to explain my

[2:04:25] vote

[2:04:25] .>>granted, madam majorit

[2:04:26] yleader. I want to be very

[2:04:27] clear at the outset in

[2:04:29] discussing discussing nine. Oh

[2:04:31] , to be that everyone in this

[2:04:33] chamber irrespective of party

[2:04:33] agrees that new yorkers

[2:04:36] deserve safe, affordable

[2:04:37] housing and that predatory

[2:04:38] behavior by bad landlords

[2:04:40] should be stopped. Where I

[2:04:41] think we disagree is on

[2:04:43] whether this bill actually

[2:04:45] accomplishes that goal copa is

[2:04:47] being sold as a tenant

[2:04:49] protection measure when in

[2:04:51] reality, it is a sweeping

[2:04:53] change to property rights that

[2:04:56] will make housing harder to

[2:04:58] finance harder to maintain and

[2:04:59] ultimately harder to affor

[2:05:00] dthis bill doesn't just

[2:05:02] regulate bad actors that

[2:05:03] rewrites the rules for every

[2:05:05] owner of a covered building by

[2:05:07] inserting the city iont

[2:05:08] private property transactions

[2:05:09] it delays sales for months

[2:05:12] injects uncertainty in the

[2:05:13] market and sends a clear

[2:05:14] message to lenders and buyers.

[2:05:15] new new york city is a risky

[2:05:15] place to invest. And that

[2:05:18] matters because when capital

[2:05:20] dries up, buildings don't get

[2:05:20] repaired when buildings don't

[2:05:22] get repaired, tenants suffer,

[2:05:23] copa assumes that nonprofit

[2:05:26] purchasers will magically have

[2:05:28] the resources to buy

[2:05:29] ,rehabilitate and manage these

[2:05:31] buildings, but the bill

[2:05:32] doesn't provide guaranteed

[2:05:34] funding, staffing or capacity

[2:05:34] to do that at scale. So what

[2:05:39] happens. Instead, sales stole,

[2:05:39] owners walk away properties

[2:05:41] deteriorate and the very

[2:05:42] tenants this bill claims t

[2:05:45] oprotect our left living in

[2:05:47] worse conditions. There's also

[2:05:49] a fundamental fairness issue

[2:05:51] here. We're telling small and

[2:05:53] midsized sized property owner

[2:05:54] s, many of them family owners

[2:05:55] ,many of them immigrants, many

[2:05:56] of them working class that

[2:05:59] when they want to sell. They

[2:06:00] no longer control that

[2:06:01] decision on equal terms that's

[2:06:02] not progressive, that's

[2:06:04] punitive. If this bill worked

[2:06:06] crisis elsewhere. Instead,

[2:06:12] cities that have tried similar

[2:06:13] approaches have seen fewer

[2:06:15] transactions, less investment

[2:06:16] and more blight, affordable

[2:06:18] housing is created by fixing

[2:06:20] broken buildings, enforcing

[2:06:23] existing laws and encouraging

[2:06:25] responsible ownership, not by

[2:06:26] freezing the market and hoping

[2:06:28] government can manage

[2:06:29] thousands of properties better

[2:06:30] than the private sector. So

[2:06:33] for those reasons I'm voting.

[2:06:34] aye on all, with the exception

[2:06:35] of nine. Oh, to be intro 14 4

[2:08:53] tthe advocates, the homeowners

[2:08:55] they were hopeful and I

[2:08:56] believe that we were going t

[2:08:58] odo something for them. What is

[2:09:02] this something, dr king said.

[2:09:03] never one time to do the right

[2:09:05] thing, but little that I know

[2:12:40] since there has been clearly

[2:12:44] some a lack of reading. What

[2:12:46] this bill is and what this

[2:12:48] bill isn't

[2:12:48] .>>we took a bill that was

[2:12:51] introduced five years ago that

[2:12:52] covered 70% of all new york

[2:12:57] city buildings, three units

[2:12:58] and above and that was going

[2:13:00] to be subject to an 18 month

[2:13:03] timeline and at that point of

[2:13:06] that bill. There were over 3

[2:13:07] it. We took that bill and in

[2:13:12] less than three months. We

[2:13:13] brought it down to an

[2:13:16] extremely targeted universe of

[2:13:19] properties that we already

[2:13:21] spend a lot of time and money

[2:13:23] on trying to make safer

[2:13:27] buildings. These are in

[2:13:28] enforcement programs. This is

[2:13:29] not the olympics, you do not

[2:13:30] want to get into these

[2:13:31] programs and to get into these

[2:13:33] programs takes a lot of effort

[2:13:35] and advocacy from us as

[2:13:38] members who are constantl

[2:13:39] ycalling down to the city,

[2:13:40] saying why are you not

[2:13:42] protecting these tenants and

[2:13:43] why are you not working to

[2:13:45] keep them safe. We do

[2:13:46] emergency repairs in them. We

[2:13:48] have. We're spending, lloyd,

[2:13:50] that we have free housing

[2:13:51] legal services that we're

[2:13:52] paying for people to be in and

[2:13:53] out of court because we have

[2:13:57] years, constable property

[2:13:58] managers who be better off

[2:13:59] more than they could chew.

[2:14:01] they are underwater and they

[2:14:02] are not taking care of their

[2:14:03] buildings. We are all putting

[2:14:05] a ton of money into these

[2:14:07] buildings we are creating a

[2:14:09] small chance, just a tiny

[2:14:10] chance that instead of that

[2:14:12] building being sold to some

[2:14:15] company with people and

[2:14:16] investors from all over the

[2:14:17] world that we have no

[2:14:18] relationship to and we have no

[2:14:21] relationship of accountability

[2:14:24] to that? Maybe, just maybe we

[2:14:25] get an opportunity for now

[2:14:27] ,nonprofits that we trust that

[2:14:28] we fund that we have a

[2:14:30] relationship with that we are

[2:14:31] holding accountable all the

[2:14:34] time. That's what we've been

[2:14:35] doing for the last four years

[2:14:36] that maybe they can have an

[2:14:38] opportunity to purchase it

[2:14:39] ,fix it up, make it better and

[2:14:40] make it safe for those tenants

[2:14:42] . Thank you, majority leader

[2:14:44] .sorry, I vote, I don't know.

[2:14:58] osay does anybody think about

[2:15:00] nature and the tenants that

[2:15:01] live in nature and how we what

[2:15:03] we could do to already city

[2:15:06] owned buildings that are

[2:15:06] falling apart and dilapidated,

[2:15:08] and these people are living

[2:15:11] without kitchens without heat

[2:15:11] and everything else. I think

[2:15:14] we should re approach this

[2:15:15] idea that you have a appointed

[2:15:18] in the right direction, the

[2:15:19] city don't properties that

[2:15:22] should be maintained and are

[3:12:14] ago. Actually nine years and

[3:12:18] 10 months. It has been one of

[3:12:18] my greatest honors of my life

[3:12:20] when I stepped into this role.

[3:12:21] I made a promise to fight for

[3:12:24] the community that raised me

[3:12:24] to make the south bronx in new

[3:12:27] york city a stronger,

[3:12:28] healthier and safer and more

[3:12:30] equitable for every family who

[3:12:31] calls it home. And over the

[3:12:33] years we've done exactly that

[3:12:35] doing the work.

[3:12:36] >>together together we

[3:12:38] expanded affordable housing

[3:12:39] across the district and

[3:12:40] throughout all new york.

[3:12:41] >>city. We invested in schools

[3:12:44] such as the schools that I

[3:12:44] grew up in attending and

[3:12:47] giving our students are tools,

[3:12:49] technology and classrooms that

[3:12:51] they need and I'm proud to say

[3:12:53] that I was able to do that

[3:12:53] with an investment of over $50

[3:12:56] million in my schools, we

[3:12:58] rebuilt the parks and

[3:12:59] playgrounds that shaped my my

[3:13:02] childhood and that of my son,

[3:13:03] who now enjoys them creating

[3:13:05] beautiful safe spaces for the

[3:13:07] next generation to play and

[3:13:08] grow and I'm proud to say that

[3:13:10] I was able to invest another

[3:13:12] $50 million in capital dollars

[3:13:14] to my playgrounds and I'm

[3:13:15] proud to say that 90% of all

[3:13:17] my playgrounds in my district

[3:13:17] have been redeveloped. We

[3:13:21] confront the cove it together

[3:13:22] and we also confronted the

[3:13:23] health disparities that have

[3:13:24] impacted our borough and the

[3:13:26] city for far too long working

[3:13:28] to close gaps and care and

[3:13:29] bringing better health care

[3:13:31] options to our community and

[3:13:32] you have two year we fought

[3:13:36] compassion, making sure our

[3:13:50] bills that I was able to pass,

[3:13:52] such as the 15% home to set

[3:13:55] aside, which many said w

[3:13:56] ecannot do it even in our own

[3:13:57] legislative department. But we

[3:13:58] got it done, and I'm proud t

[3:17:56] othank carl and the sergeant at

[3:17:59] arms teams for always going

[3:18:00] above and beyond, and we have

[3:18:01] seen that here today for

[3:18:03] keeping us safe, not only in

[3:18:05] the people's house, but always

[3:18:06] in our district and I thank

[3:18:07] you all so much it was really

[3:18:09] truly an honor to be here

[3:18:10] .those last two years. Thank

[3:18:24] you.

[3:18:24] >>recognizing council. Holden.

[3:18:28] thank you, majority leader and

[3:18:29] serving eight years in this

[3:18:31] council has been a dream come

[3:18:34] true representing the district

[3:18:36] that my my parents grew upn I

[3:18:40] and my grandma and gram

[3:18:42] parsons has farm in the exact

[3:18:44] neighborhood right around the

[3:18:44] corner from where I live in my

[3:18:46] office is a few blocks away.

[3:18:47] this is an unbelievable honor

[3:18:51] to serve eight years as the

[3:18:52] council member for the

[3:18:55] district 30, and it's a

[3:18:57] bittersweet, um, kind of

[3:18:59] crosswords for me, but I would

[3:19:00] do would like to thank the

[3:19:03] sergeant at arms staff, the

[3:19:04] wonderful staff and it's been

[3:19:06] said and and chief called the

[3:19:09] aba and again. I also chief

[3:19:12] raffi rat. I call him raffi

[3:19:15] perez, but great great people

[3:19:17] ,great staff and they did keep

[3:19:20] us safe, and so it was very

[3:19:21] difficult, sometimes getting

[3:19:22] through the picket lines

[3:19:24] outside, but they always had

[3:19:25] somebody there and I want t

[3:19:27] othank them and also go out of

[3:19:28] there also for photography. I

[3:19:31] got to talk photography with

[3:19:33] him. Many, many hours and I

[3:19:35] appreciated that he did make

[3:19:36] us look good even made me look

[3:19:40] good at my age, but it was

[3:19:42] great. Um, but I

[3:19:43] .>>just want to talk about the

[3:19:46] experience in the last four

[3:19:50] years, especially yesterday an

[3:19:50] important package of veteran

[3:19:52] legislation cleared our

[3:19:55] committee and today the

[3:19:55] speaker and the council

[3:19:56] leadership killed it using a

[3:19:59] procedural trick to avoid a

[3:20:01] vote before the full body.

[3:20:05] that's disgraceful. Now these

[3:20:06] bills dealt with veteran

[3:20:09] housing, homelessness, mental

[3:20:10] health and support for veteran

[3:20:12] organizations, but instead of

[3:20:13] letting veterans finally get

[3:20:16] some relief from this city

[3:20:18] leadership chose politics and

[3:20:20] personal payback, and that's

[3:20:21] what this was I've never

[3:20:23] .>>that's not called leadersphi

[3:20:25] folks. This had nothing to do

[3:20:27] with the cost or policy and o

[3:20:29] rand everything to do with

[3:20:31] vendetta against me. I had

[3:20:34] over a hundred bills that I

[3:20:35] introduced over the years and

[3:20:37] nothing got through and the

[3:20:40] veterans were cross were

[3:20:41] caught in the crossfire. It's

[3:20:44] vindictive and petty. The

[3:20:47] message from this city council

[3:20:48] at the veterans today is

[3:20:50] simple. Drop dead. That's the

[3:20:53] veterans and that they served

[3:20:54] our country and this is how

[3:20:56] they get back. They got back

[3:20:56] at the whole committee, too

[3:20:59] ,because there's people there's

[3:21:01] councilman a member and

[3:21:04] paladino and bernick off the

[3:21:05] head bills that were

[3:21:07] sacrificed also only because

[3:21:07] it came from the committee

[3:21:11] chaired by bob holden.

[3:21:13] >>and this is something this

[3:21:15] is not demonstrating

[3:21:16] leadership. This is nowhere

[3:21:19] near leadership leadership I

[3:21:20] sdoing the right thing for

[3:21:22] constituents, so instead I got

[3:21:24] my for speaking up against

[3:21:26] bills or speaking up against

[3:21:31] leadership, my constituents

[3:21:32] were hurt, my parks weren't

[3:21:34] funded. My schools were in

[3:21:36] .>>this is not leadership,

[3:21:38] folks, this is a lack of

[3:21:42] leadership. So I just wanted

[3:21:42] to say it's been a great honor

[3:21:43] , especially the first fou

[3:21:45] ryears in the council serving

[3:21:47] this body.

[3:21:47] >>this lead these last fou

[3:21:50] ryears again when you're when

[3:21:52] your bills are boycotted your

[3:21:54] boycotted. It's not a great

[3:21:55] feeling, folks, but I stayed

[3:21:58] true to my principles. I spoke

[3:22:01] up how I felt and they didn't

[3:22:02] like it. They didn't like tha

[3:22:03] t. I went to the press. They

[3:22:06] didn't like what I exercised

[3:22:08] my first amendment rights.

[3:22:09] they didn't like it, and

[3:22:13] that's chilling.

[3:22:13] >>so going forward, I hope the

[3:22:14] next speaker will be fair that

[3:22:17] will have an even hand and

[3:22:21] we'll do the right things by

[3:22:23] 51 districts, not just a few

[3:22:24] of their favorite, so this is

[3:22:27] not the finest hour of this

[3:22:29] council. Never believe that I

[3:22:32] came in, I attended all

[3:22:35] hearings meetings never missed

[3:22:39] a day stayed until the end of

[3:22:40] the hearings, most of the time

[3:22:42] and I did, I wasn't rewarded

[3:22:44] at all

[3:22:44] .>>most jobs when you work har

[3:22:46] d, you show up, you do the

[3:22:49] right thing chaired a

[3:22:52] committee, you get rewarded.

[3:22:54] somehow I didn't and that's

[3:22:56] that's the bittersweet, you

[3:22:57] know I'm a sweet that I

[3:22:58] represented my district. I did

[3:22:59] love being in my district, but

[3:23:01] I didn't like what was

[3:23:03] happening here, and it was

[3:23:04] very, very on. Fear you,

[3:23:11] everyone. Thanks. Okay. Okay.

[3:23:15] >>recognizing council hours.

[3:23:18] thank you. And thank you.

[3:23:20] everyone for a remarks today

[3:23:22] when I came into office in 2

[3:23:23] 018. I had the same hopeful

[3:23:25] vision for our city that is

[3:23:27] still hold today that new york

[3:23:28] elike my family, a small

[3:23:32] business owner and a nurse

[3:23:34] could make it here because a

[3:23:35] city made it possible to

[3:23:37] access good, affordable

[3:23:38] housing, good schools and a

[3:23:39] way to make a living and I've

[3:23:41] taken that vision with me

[3:23:42] every single day the city

[3:23:43] counts on the number of issues

[3:23:44] I've championed over the last

[3:23:45] eight years. Our victories and

[3:23:48] alluding reducing rents at

[3:23:49] places like waterside plaza

[3:23:49] and fighting for tenants and

[3:23:50] strives in town to creating a

[3:23:53] new life sciences center and a

[3:23:54] new high school and keep spay

[3:23:56] to rezoning be south to create

[3:23:58] 10000 new homes through new

[3:24:01] conversions to reducing

[3:24:01] barriers to housing for

[3:24:04] tenants, including sorts of

[3:24:05] income discrimination of the

[3:24:05] fair chance for housing act

[3:24:08] tackling quality of life if

[3:24:10] shoes like noise cameras and

[3:24:12] tackling scaffolding is

[3:24:13] spending arts education

[3:24:14] through new york city are

[3:24:16] fighting 20 18 to provide fair

[3:24:18] fares for transit writers and

[3:24:20] investing millions of dollars

[3:24:21] to our schools, our parks,

[3:24:22] libraries and a cultural

[3:24:25] institutions. I am honored

[3:24:26] every single day to walk into

[3:24:27] this place and work alongside

[3:24:29] so many people, I think have

[3:24:30] sometimes different visions

[3:24:32] for this city, but a shared

[3:24:34] hope. Hopefully a shared a

[3:24:36] collaborative spirit to get

[3:24:37] things done for their

[3:24:40] constituents. I want to

[3:24:40] congratulate all my colleagues

[3:24:41] who are leaving here today on

[3:24:42] a tremendous eight years in

[3:24:44] city council. There's so much

[3:24:45] to be proud of not only today,

[3:24:47] but over the last eight years

[3:24:49] of the work that you have done

[3:24:50] to make it a better place and

[3:24:51] for all of you are leaving. I

[3:24:52] just say thank you for being

[3:24:53] great partners and friends

[3:24:56] throughout your eight years

[3:24:57] and lifetime friends I know

[3:24:58] that. Of course, none of us

[3:24:59] can do any of this without

[3:25:01] great partners in the room and

[3:25:03] I have incredible staff we've

[3:25:04] been with me throughout these

[3:25:06] eight years that have helped

[3:25:07] make this work easier and more

[3:25:10] rewarding ben jacobs has been

[3:25:10] me for eight years. Thank you

[3:25:12] for holding it down every

[3:25:13] single day and turn the rest

[3:25:15] of my staff to haley to pat t

[3:25:31] for everyone here. I want to

[3:25:31] thank all the staff of the

[3:25:32] city council who do the work

[3:25:33] here to make this a better

[3:25:34] place or so many behind the

[3:25:35] scenes who actually make this

[3:25:37] place work. Sometimes we fight

[3:25:39] . Sometimes we disagree, but

[3:25:40] what matters is we get things

[3:25:41] done, and we do it on behalf

[3:25:42] of new yorkers. So thank you

[3:25:43] to the entire staff here who

[3:26:22] world to all of us and I'm

[3:26:23] glad we're all recognizing

[3:26:25] that here today and, um, just

[3:26:29] so many people to name and I

[3:26:29] think most my colleagues have

[3:26:30] gone to most of them. But just

[3:26:31] thank you to everyone in this

[3:26:33] building. Thank you to

[3:26:34] everyone across the street.

[3:26:35] thank you all the staff of all

[3:26:36] the council members, but most

[3:26:37] of all think of the people of

[3:26:38] fourth council is your of

[3:26:40] detrick, where I grew up and I

[3:26:41] have spent my life. It has

[3:26:43] been an honor serving you and

[3:26:44] I look forward to doing this

[3:26:45] work together. Thank you

[3:26:55] ,>>recognizing counts, remembe

[3:27:01] r, brennan, you thank. Thank

[3:27:03] you. Um, I obviously want to

[3:27:05] thank the voters for sending

[3:27:07] me here a couple of times and

[3:27:12] taking a a chance on a punk

[3:27:12] rock kid from southern

[3:27:13] brooklyn who never dreamt of

[3:27:16] being a politician over the

[3:27:18] last eight years I've been

[3:27:20] able to build seven new public

[3:27:22] schools in my district

[3:27:25] renovated 17 parks and

[3:27:27] playgrounds and brought back

[3:27:28] over $350 million I

[3:27:32] ninvestment, improving the

[3:27:33] district where I grew up em

[3:27:36] serving his chair, the finance

[3:27:37] committee for the past fou

[3:27:38] ryears has been an incredibly

[3:27:40] rewaingrd experience,

[3:27:41] something that I'm so lucky

[3:27:43] that the speaker put her trust

[3:27:44] in me and pointing me to tha

[3:27:46] trole and what I learned over

[3:27:48] the past four years doing

[3:27:51] battle with city hall on a

[3:27:52] daily basis and the fights

[3:27:53] that we adrienne together as a

[3:27:55] council and the millions and

[3:27:56] millions of dollars in cuts

[3:27:58] that we restored had we not

[3:28:00] fought back those cuts would

[3:28:01] have gone through the the

[3:28:05] mighty council finance

[3:28:06] division. There are so many

[3:28:08] smart, dedicated people as

[3:28:10] someone who got his start in

[3:28:12] the council 15 16 years ago as

[3:28:15] a staffer I know how hard the

[3:28:18] staff works and how much of

[3:28:20] the glory that we get as

[3:28:21] elected officials so much o

[3:28:22] fthat hard work is actually

[3:28:23] done by the staff behind the

[3:28:26] scenes, especially during

[3:28:27] budget season in very, very

[3:28:30] long hours and the sacrifice

[3:28:30] that we all make our families

[3:28:33] make to support us in public

[3:28:34] service, so it has been an

[3:28:37] amazing run. This is the best

[3:28:38] job in the world getting paid

[3:28:41] to worry about the

[3:28:42] neighborhood where you grow up

[3:28:43] is just about as good as it

[3:28:45] gets, um, but it is time to

[3:28:47] shuffle on and I look forward

[3:28:50] to seeing and supporting the

[3:28:50] council and the years to com

[3:28:53] eand this has been a great tim

[3:28:54] e. Thank you, everybody. Oi,

[3:29:08] >>! Okay

[3:29:08] .>>speaker and.

[3:29:10] >>diana ayala. Just want to

[3:29:10] start off by saying that I'm

[3:29:11] shocked that he didn't mention

[3:29:15] me at all because younow, k I

[3:29:17] thought that we were my empire

[3:29:20] counsel and absolut. I'm

[3:29:21] shocked. I'm just shocked, but

[3:29:23] now I didn't want to make this

[3:29:24] a long speech, I, you know, I

[3:29:26] think when I came into the

[3:29:27] council. I was, um, very a a

[3:29:31] lot younger and also very

[3:29:32] naive. I had no political

[3:29:35] ambition whatsoever and ran

[3:29:36] solely for the purpose of

[3:29:37] being able to lend continuity

[3:29:39] to the good work of my

[3:29:41] predecessor and because of my

[3:29:42] love for my community, um, and

[3:29:45] that district. I am so excited

[3:29:47] and happy that I did take that

[3:29:48] chance, even when I was

[3:29:50] throwing up most days because

[3:29:51] I was scadre out of my mind,

[3:29:53] um, because I think that I

[3:29:54] have. I have served on my

[3:29:57] community. Well, I came here

[3:29:58] with a goal of improving, you

[3:30:01] know, conditions that impact

[3:30:02] new yorkers every single day

[3:30:03] and I think I've done that on

[3:30:06] multiple fronts. Obviously,

[3:30:06] you know, time is a thief and

[3:30:10] it won by by really quickly.

[3:30:13] um, we face a very challenging

[3:30:14] , some challenging times

[3:30:16] because we were in two years

[3:30:17] along the pandemic hit. Um,

[3:30:18] and it robbed us of the

[3:30:21] ability to really focus on

[3:30:24] projects in the distric

[3:30:25] tbecause we will always kind of

[3:30:27] on high alert. There was so

[3:30:28] were starving, um, and we were

[3:30:35] all out there and I want t

[3:30:36] othank, you know, many of my

[3:30:38] colleagues here, ralph, you

[3:30:39] know, and I did a lot of food

[3:30:41] distribution. Ralph is the

[3:30:44] food master, but he's also

[3:30:45] been very generous with his

[3:30:47] resources and has made sure

[3:30:49] that the rest of us also

[3:30:50] benefit from it. So I want to

[3:30:53] thank him for that. I want

[3:30:54] thanks to the bronx allegation

[3:30:55] for accepting me, I represent

[3:30:58] districts, right practically

[3:30:59] to burrows, I, adrienne

[3:31:01] district and and when I got to

[3:31:02] the bronx, you know most

[3:31:04] people were like, well, but

[3:31:04] she really belongs here, is

[3:31:06] she like for manhattan and and

[3:31:07] I'm like, no, I actually was.

[3:31:10] you know, I lived most of my

[3:36:22] you reminded us that

[3:36:24] leadership is about steadiness

[3:36:26] principle in showing up for

[3:36:27] new yorkers, even when it's

[3:37:11] >>country. This is not the

[3:37:13] first time she has said

[3:37:15] something this racist and

[3:37:16] abhorrent, but the leniency of

[3:37:20] this body emboldens her

[3:37:21] hateful rhetoric

[3:37:22] .>>that puts new yorkers in

[3:37:24] danger

[3:37:25] .>>and she's proud of it too.

[3:37:27] so you won't apologize, just

[3:39:22] today to recognize our

[3:39:23] outgoing colleagues, all of

[3:39:23] whom will be messed and also

[3:39:26] to address the leadership of

[3:39:27] the of speaker adrian adams

[3:39:29] and the legacy she leaves

[3:39:31] behind in this chamber and

[3:39:32] across our city as the first

[3:39:34] black speaker of the new york

[3:39:35] city council, who also led the

[3:39:37] first majority women council

[3:39:38] in our city's history from day

[3:39:40] one, there was pressure for

[3:39:41] her not to push back to fal

[3:39:44] lin line and fold to avoid

[3:39:45] conflict with the mayor, but

[3:39:46] speaker adams understood her

[3:39:48] responsibility to protect the

[3:39:49] independence and integrity of

[3:39:51] this council and to stand up

[3:39:54] for new yorkers, many people

[3:39:55] undeservedly claimed the

[3:39:56] legacy of shirley chisholm,

[3:39:58] unbought and unbossed, but

[3:40:00] speaker adams lives it she

[3:40:02] listened to her members

[3:40:04] trusted a diverse majority

[3:40:05] women body and allowed this

[3:40:07] council to legislate boldly

[3:40:08] even when it was difficult

[3:40:11] .>>under her leadership, we

[3:40:11] approved more than 157000 new

[3:40:15] homes, expanded housing

[3:40:16] vouchers, childcare care and

[3:40:17] mental health supports

[3:40:19] confronted the black maternal

[3:40:20] mortality crisis and protected

[3:40:22] lgbt new yorkers access t

[3:40:26] ocare through innovative

[3:40:26] programs she championed, like

[3:40:28] cuny reconnect and direct cash

[3:40:29] assistance for new mothers she

[3:40:31] has changed lives beyond the

[3:40:33] headlines, speaker adams has

[3:40:34] led with steadiness and

[3:40:36] seriousness through moments of

[3:40:37] tension, disagreement and

[3:40:40] challenged without ever losing

[3:40:41] sight of this body's dignity

[3:40:41] and she's done this with the

[3:40:43] help of her incredible staff

[3:40:44] led by jeremy john and fisa

[3:40:46] ali, to whom I say thank you.

[3:40:49] we never know how goo

[3:40:49] dsomething is until it's gone.

[3:40:53] >>so often institutions resist

[3:40:54] black women's leadership

[3:40:56] .>>questioning our authority

[3:40:58] presence, even treating us as

[3:40:59] something to tolerate rather

[3:41:02] than embrace speaker, adams

[3:41:02] shows us that when black women

[3:41:04] lead, we transformed the

[3:41:06] institutions that were never

[3:41:07] designed for us to begin with.

[3:41:10] I'm proud to have served under

[3:41:11] her leadership and I'm honored

[3:41:12] to forever call her my

[3:41:13] colleague and of course, my

[3:41:15] spellman sister, madame

[3:44:18] >>but on the heels of what

[3:44:19] council members. Shahana,

[3:44:20] honey just said there was a

[3:44:23] reason that we have free

[3:44:25] speech and in our constitution

[3:44:28] and that's to protect us from

[3:44:33] government retaliation,

[3:44:33] height of hypocrisy for

[3:44:40] members of this council so dr.

[3:44:41] who swore to uphold that

[3:44:45] constitution to call out a

[3:44:46] council member, even if it

[3:44:48] isn't my name, but by in for

[3:44:53] punishment for exercisin

[3:44:54] gtheir right to free speech. My

[3:44:57] colleagues often say things. I

[3:44:59] disagree with and I often find

[3:45:01] abhorrent, but like every

[3:45:03] american I can choose to

[3:45:05] respond to their speech with

[3:45:07] my own speech, I suggest our

[3:45:09] colleague stop acting like

[3:45:10] what they say they detest and

[3:45:13] we will all do the

[3:45:14] .>>same on that note. I don't

[3:45:18] want to let this day go by

[3:46:58] meeting today. It's been a

[3:47:00] marathon day and my staff who

[3:47:01] did the same and my friends,

[3:47:03] especially the indefatigable

[3:47:04] curtis sliwa, although I guess

[3:47:06] days, but it's nice for him t

[3:47:09] ocome

[3:47:10] .>>as well, but I speak to you

[3:47:11] today with a lump in my throat

[3:47:14] because I'm going to miss a

[3:47:15] lot of my colleagues that are

[3:47:17] leaving, but especially

[3:47:18] because this is council member

[3:47:20] bob holden's last day. Now I

[3:47:21] know the room is divided. Some

[3:47:24] of you won't miss him because

[3:47:25] he's the democrat tha

[3:47:26] tprogressives loves to hat

[3:47:27] eothers won't miss him because

[3:47:29] he's the conservative that

[3:47:30] drives republicans crazy, but

[3:47:31] I'm here to say without any

[3:47:33] hedging. I'm going to miss bob

[3:47:35] holding a lot because beneath

[3:47:37] all the controversy beneath

[3:47:38] the bluntness beneath the

[3:47:40] refusal to go along just to

[3:47:43] get along. Bob has been

[3:47:43] something that is far too rar

[3:47:45] ein this body authentic. He's

[3:47:48] been stubborn in the best way

[3:47:50] stubborn for taxpayers

[3:47:52] stubborn for seniors, stubborn

[3:47:54] for public safety and stubborn

[3:47:55] for the people who don't have

[3:47:56] a lobbyist or a public

[3:47:58] relations team, whispering I

[3:47:59] narea. And if you want to talk

[3:48:01] about legacy, the landmark

[3:48:04] veterans legislation that we

[3:48:04] were supposed to pass today

[3:48:07] would have been the perfect

[3:48:08] coda for bob's legacy in the

[3:48:10] city council, bob has been the

[3:48:11] best advocate in this council

[3:48:13] for veterans, not in words,

[3:48:15] not in photo ops in work, real

[3:48:17] work. He's also been the best

[3:48:19] advocate in this body for

[3:48:20] animal rights he's been

[3:48:22] steadfast for law enforcement

[3:48:23] whether you agreed with him or

[3:48:24] not, you never had to wonde

[3:48:25] rwhere he stood and you never

[3:48:26] had to wonder who he was

[3:48:27] standing up for. I also have

[3:48:30] to say this bob holden got

[3:48:31] elected eight years ago

[3:48:32] because of the votes he

[3:48:34] received on the reform party

[3:48:35] line and at the time I was

[3:48:37] proud, along with curtis sliwa

[3:48:38] to be a leader of the reform

[3:48:39] party and if neither curtis

[3:48:40] nor I do anything else

[3:48:42] worthwhilen p iublic life.

[3:48:43] we're both pretty proud of

[3:48:45] that because bob holden's

[3:48:47] election was a reminder that

[3:48:48] voters still have a way of

[3:48:50] rewarding independence and

[3:48:51] I'll close with a line from

[3:48:53] dead poets society, another

[3:48:54] staten island councilman jimmy

[3:48:57] otto said. When another queens

[3:48:58] councilman tom ognibene. He

[3:49:00] left this body. Oh, captain,

[3:49:03] my captain

[3:49:03] .>>bob holden. Captain

[3:49:05] .>>you drove a lot of people

[3:49:08] here crazy, but you make this
