[25:47] in economic opportunity,

[25:52] for crime victims services

[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

[28:29] 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

[29:07] 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

[29:29] conditions of our communities,

[29:32] live healthy and and dignified
[29:35] lives our city must continue
[29:38] to champion black, latino,

[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

[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

[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
[1:01:30] cities around the nation and
[1:01:31] even around the globe t
[1:01:33] ofollow to navigate and

[1:01:47] on his second child, billy
[1:01:49] beck and many others for their
[1:01:50] hard work on this

[1:01:54] there was just a really
[1:01:55] special partnership where
[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

[1:10:59] 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

[1:13:02] intro 14 33. If we want new
[1:13:05] york city t remoain a place
[1:13:07] where families can stay grow

[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

[1:14:44] 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
[1:16:07] that we will be losing revenue

[1:16:11] resolution of unpaid city
[1:16:13] taxes and timely collection of

[1:18:47] standing up today against uber
[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
[1:19:12] protections that they truly

[1:19:18] system if they had been fired
[1:19:22] today, our new york city
[1:19:22] council is standing up against
[1:19:25] billion corporations we are
[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
[1:19:56] in car loans they took it out
[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
[1:25:46] district has went through four
[1:25:49] council members from tracy

[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

[2:08:51] could not say anything to mee
[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
[2:09:07] in this place somewhere else

[2:12:37] otake an opportunity to clarify
[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
[2:15:24] not. Instead of going after

[2:31:32] ,which was legislation prompted

[3:12:10] since joining the new york
[3:12:12] city council almost 10 years
[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] for food insecurities with
[3:13:36] compassion, making sure our
[3:13:38] neighbors had access to fresh
[3:13:40] ,healthy food when they needed
[3:13:42] it most. Now I'm max austin.
[3:13:44] what are you most proud of the
[3:13:46] attack new york city council

[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
[3:14:01] osay that I was part of closing
[3:14:03] to jails in my district alone,
[3:14:04] a juvenile detention center
[3:14:06] called spofford, which we
[3:14:08] retransmission formed into a

[3:14:13] housing and just recently we
[3:14:14] were able to close the
[3:14:15] floating jailed in the house
[3:14:17] want community and I was able
[3:14:18] to see it bars out of our
[3:14:22] communities now none of this
[3:14:22] would have been possible
[3:14:23] without the support, trust and
[3:14:25] resilience of my community or
[3:14:27] without the love and strength
[3:14:28] from my family who stood side

[3:14:30] of the way.

[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
[3:25:17] ofranklin to walker, etan erik

[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

[3:26:00] I do want to join the echo of
[3:26:01] people who give a shout out t
[3:26:02] oarm aging sergeant arms of the
[3:26:03] carl I will miss hearing that
[3:26:08] stated call and sometimes in

[3:26:09] but I don't have the voice you

[3:26:13] first faces we often see whe

[3:26:18] friendly nature and the way
[3:26:19] you guys work for us every day

[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

[3:36:21] hard working new yorkers and
[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
[3:37:28] like every other time. So I
[3:37:31] the line where do we draw the
[3:37:36] .>>is that if she says. Qerue
[3:37:37] people are rumors.
[3:37:39] >>or that immigrants should be
[3:37:40] deported or if she trivializes

[3:37:49] which represents almost a

[3:38:03] send a clear message to the
[3:38:05] new yorkers that we represent
[3:38:08] that racism is unacceptable.
[3:38:11] this colleague must b
[3:38:12] eexpelled or at the very very
[3:38:15] least censured. We all know
[3:38:19] this. We must act and
[3:38:21] colleagues this hateful
[3:38:22] incident has happened on our

[3:39:15] here. Good afternoon, but I'll
[3:39:17] say good evening,
[3:39:21] >>I'd like to take a moment
[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
[3:41:16] speaker. Thank you for your

[3:44:10] from all our committees that
[3:44:12] we chair and and that I was
[3:44:14] blessed to chair.
[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
[3:45:20] without saying to my colleague

[3:46:54] around, especially my four
[3:46:55] year old son carmine to see me
[3:46:56] sworn in after the stated
[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] he's got nowhere to be these
[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
[3:49:11] council better.
