Q&A

Hankerson asks about post-event review and restoration

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 1:17:39 · 52 sec

Hankerson asks how Parks reviews events afterward. Cerrone says small events get little follow-up, while larger events get site inspections after loadout and photos compared to pre-event conditions; McTiernan adds interagency debriefs.

David Cerrone

And fortunately,

David Cerrone

Now with social media, a lot of the event producers, like they can blast out messages in a matter of moments.

David Cerrone

Yeah.

David Cerrone

And so their attendees know, oh, the show is going to start a few hours later.

David Cerrone

There's been other times when we'll end early because we see that there's a storm coming.

David Cerrone

And so we will work with the event producer to kind of, you know, they may have to cut some of the acts, but they end the show a couple of hours early in order to avoid a storm.

Ty Hankerson

Who hires the meteorologist?

Ty Hankerson

Is it Parks or is it the applicant?

David Cerrone

It's the applicant.

Ty Hankerson

Really?

David Cerrone

Yeah.

Ty Hankerson

What do you find on meteorologists?

David Cerrone

Oh, I don't.

David Cerrone

So there's one meteorologist who used to work for New York One.

Ty Hankerson

Really?

David Cerrone

And he's, yeah, he's there.

David Cerrone

He's a nice guy.

David Cerrone

You know, they're interesting.

David Cerrone

You know, but it's always tricky knowing the weather.
