New York City Council · Oct 20, 2026 · starts 2:16:58 · 2 min 1 sec

Narcisse says she and the speaker will work to provide holiday meals to EMS stations and thanks Miano for the idea. Miano invites council members to visit EMS Station 58 and says broader citywide acknowledgment would help morale.

Mercedes Narcisse

So appreciative of that.

Mercedes Narcisse

I mean, you can consider it done because I know Speaker Menon and my colleagues at YOLA, we're going to make sure we make it happen.

Mercedes Narcisse

And even if we have, I'm going to commit her money too.

Mercedes Narcisse

Even if we have to do it out of our pocket, we're going to have to do it.

Mercedes Narcisse

Thank you.

Mercedes Narcisse

So, yes, that's a little because I want more.

Mercedes Narcisse

I have to acknowledge my colleague, the La Rosa, that's with us.

Mercedes Narcisse

So that's little.

Mercedes Narcisse

But anything else you can imagine that you think that we can do beside that, because I'm ready.

Mercedes Narcisse

I'm ready.

Mercedes Narcisse

You can count on me in because I love to feed people.

Mercedes Narcisse

I love to take care of people, you know, coming from the nurse.

Mercedes Narcisse

So I'm in.

Mercedes Narcisse

There's a commitment.

Mercedes Narcisse

Probably your pocket, your private money, or the city.

Mercedes Narcisse

I don't know which way we're going to go.

Mercedes Narcisse

To make sure we make sure we feed all that.

Paul Miano

I didn't mean turkey.

Paul Miano

It was filet mignon and lobster.

Mercedes Narcisse

I'm going to do everything that we can do.

Mercedes Narcisse

Because that's the least we can do.

Mercedes Narcisse

Because you're the best, guys.

Mercedes Narcisse

Thank you.

Paul Miano

And I have to say that, you know, just hearing.

Paul Miano

The passion from the council and seeing how much that the service matters, it means a lot, right?

Paul Miano

I'm more than willing, along with the chief of department, the chief of emergency medical dispatch, to sit up here and answer your hard questions because we're trying to solve a problem that's going to make the emergency medical service better.

Paul Miano

And I know all of you, right?

Paul Miano

Station 58 is on East 83rd and Flatlands, right?

Paul Miano

We would welcome you with open arms anytime.

Paul Miano

Just come by.

Paul Miano

Come by.

Paul Miano

Say hello.

Paul Miano

They don't know I'm telling you this, but they'll be prepared for you.

Paul Miano

And I think that's what we need.

Paul Miano

I think we need more acknowledgement.

Paul Miano

I think we need more thanks.

Paul Miano

This committee does that, but I think it needs to be done on a broader level citywide.

Mercedes Narcisse

Absolutely.

Mercedes Narcisse

You can, we are committed.

Mercedes Narcisse

I committed her without her knowledge already.

Mercedes Narcisse

That's how I know that she's not going to say no to that.

Mercedes Narcisse

This is a lease that we can do.
