New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 1:18:55 · 1 min 51 sec

Gennaro asks how BCR will interact with the Plan YC process, which also includes resiliency work. Prabilski says DEP works closely with MOCEJ on Plan YC and BCR was established from a Plan YC initiative.

James F. Gennaro

Yeah, before I get to the repair question, just something just popped into my head.

James F. Gennaro

Now, the...

James F. Gennaro

The Plan YC process.

James F. Gennaro

That's kind of its own thing.

James F. Gennaro

How do you envision BCR kind of,

James F. Gennaro

you know, interacting with the whole Plan YC process because there are some, you know, there's resiliency stuff that comes out of that too.

James F. Gennaro

And so what are your thoughts on that?

Catherine Prabilski

We work very closely with MOC EJ and the development and updates of Plan YC, we being DEP and all the rest of the agencies.

Catherine Prabilski

I think you could say that the Plan YC and the development of the updates is a collaborative process across the agencies and we'll continue to participate in that.

Catherine Prabilski

I mean, I think that's kind of the easiest.

Catherine Prabilski

I mean, the Bureau of Creation was established from a Plan YC initiative.

Catherine Prabilski

And then where Coastal lives within Plan YC, you know, we're kind of following and tracking those goals or pushing on those goals as well.

James F. Gennaro

Yeah, I'm always just like looking for like little tripwires about how...

James F. Gennaro

Yeah, everyone's all for, you know, cooperation and stuff like that, but I...

James F. Gennaro

Yeah.

James F. Gennaro

Okay.

James F. Gennaro

I appreciate that.

James F. Gennaro

Something to think about that, you know, because you got, you know, you have your own internal planning process and then Plan YC comes along and they got another idea.

James F. Gennaro

And so feel free to come to me.

James F. Gennaro

I'll break the tie if there's any kind of major clash between you and MLC EJ.
