Q&A

Sanchez questions Anderson on nightlife district cleaning programs and staffing

New York City Council · Sep 15, 2026 · starts 1:04:42 · 1 min 20 sec

Sanchez asks about Intro 970, requesting headcounts for the targeted neighborhood task force and precision cleaning initiative, and whether they overlap. Anderson says the programs now operate as fungible resources without specific schedules, deployed based on identified cleaning needs.

Justin E. Sanchez

I just want to talk briefly about Councilmember Gutierrez's bill.

Justin E. Sanchez

So you can finish these questions.

Justin E. Sanchez

Can the, for those, again, it is in relation to the enhanced street cleaning and litter basket services in a proposed nightlife districts.

Justin E. Sanchez

Can the department provide a headcount for the targeted neighborhood task force and the precision cleaning initiative?

Justin E. Sanchez

Are these teams exclusive or is there an overlap between the task force and initiative?

Justin E. Sanchez

And for the task force, how are staff assigned to neighborhoods and likewise for the initiative?

Gregory Anderson

I don't have those numbers directly in front of me.

Gregory Anderson

Hold on, I'll try to pull them up.

Gregory Anderson

Yeah, we don't have those numbers directly in front of us.

Gregory Anderson

But I will say, you know, the targeted neighborhood task force and precision cleaning initiative, even though those were sort of funded as separate programs, they now operate as much more fungible assets.

Gregory Anderson

So there isn't necessarily a specific frequency or schedule with which we're using them.

Gregory Anderson

We identify conditions that need to be cleaned, and then we sort of draw from that pool of resources as we are cleaning those conditions.
