Council staff welcomes attendees to the Public Safety Committee vote, reminds everyone to silence devices, and notes that no one may approach the dais during the vote.
Councilmember Oswald Feliz, Chair of the Committee on Public Safety, opens the hearing and acknowledges all committee members present: Gutierrez, Wong, Hankerson, Ariola, Sanchez, Nurse, Banks, and Hanks.
Chair Feliz announces the committee will vote on proposed introduction 929A, sponsored by Councilmember Encarnacion, which requires the NYPD to publish a transparency report on security perimeters adjacent to educational facilities.
Feliz explains the bill requires NYPD to report on its plan to address physical obstruction, injury, intimidation, and interference at entrances and exits of certain educational facilities through security perimeters.
Feliz states the transparency report will provide the Council and public with clarity on NYPD's crowd control approach during protests at educational facilities and require improved communication between the city, school administrators, and protesters.
Feliz argues the report will improve public confidence in NYPD operations and ensure a proper balance between protecting protester rights and guaranteeing individuals, particularly children, have access to educational facilities. He then yields to the clerk for the vote.
