Council staff welcomes attendees to the Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Sitings, Resiliency, and Dispositions hearing, reminds attendees to silence electronic devices, and instructs those wishing to testify to fill out appearance cards with the sergeant at arms. Staff confirms the subcommittee is ready to begin.
Chair Christopher Marte opens the meeting, introduces colleagues Majority Whip Hanks, Councilmember Nurse, and Councilmember Thomas-Henry, and explains the hybrid format. He presents LU 114, an application by the Department of Parks and Recreation for acquisition and site selection of 31 privately owned sites for future parkland in Queens Community District 2, covering Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside, Blissville, and West Maspeth in Councilmembers Won and Krishnan's districts. Marte notes the local council members are supportive and calls for questions or remarks from subcommittee members.
Chair Marte calls for a vote to approve LU 114. Council staff calls the roll: Marte votes aye, Hanks votes aye, Nurse votes aye, and Thomas-Henry votes aye. The item is adopted by a vote of four in the affirmative, zero in the negative, and zero abstentions, and referred to the full Land Use committee.
Chair Marte thanks the public, his colleagues, subcommittee counsel, land use staff, and the sergeant at arms for their participation, and adjourns the meeting.
