Chair Sanchez transitions to public testimony and gives instructions
Sanchez dismisses DSNY, opens the hearing for public testimony, and reminds attendees of decorum rules including no singing on Zoom, two-minute speaking limits, and procedures for submitting written testimony.
I want to thank you all for your time, and I think we can open it up for the public testimony.
Great.
Thank you.
Stay cool and enjoy the July 4th weekend.
Have a summer.
River?
Do I have to check in for zoning?
Do I have to check in for zoning?
So I don't have to go.
I don't care.
Okay, I now open the hearing for public testimony.
I remind all members of the public that this is a government proceeding and that decorum shall be observed at all times.
That includes no singing on Zoom.
Thank you.
As such, members of the public shall remain silent at all times.
The witness table is reserved for people who wish to testify.
No video recording or photography is allowed from the witness table.
Further, members of the public may not present audio or video recordings as testimony, but may submit transcripts of such recordings to the Sergeant at Arms for inclusion in the hearing record.
If you wish to speak at today's hearing, please fill out an appearance card with the Sergeant at Arms and wait to be recognized.
When recognized, you will have two minutes to speak on the legislation on our agenda today.
If you have a written statement or additional written testimony you wish to submit for the record, please provide a copy of that testimony to the Sergeant at Arms.
You may also email written testimony to testimony at council.nyc.gov within 72 hours of this hearing.
Audio and video recordings will not be accepted.
I will now call the first panel.
Can I please have Josh Raff, Justin Wood, also known as Justin number one, and Joyce Bialik.
Really?
You may begin.
