By Council Members Brooks-Powers, Riley and Gutiérrez

 

A Local Law in relation to requiring regular reports on the redevelopment plans at John F. Kennedy International Airport

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

     

Section 1. For the purposes of this local law, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Community benefit agreement” means a public agreement between the contracted entity and community groups that is related to the redevelopment plan, and which requires the provision of specific amenities and/or mitigations to the local community or neighborhood.

“Contracted entity” has the same meaning as such term is defined in section 22-821 of the administrative code of the city of New York. 

“Port Authority” means the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

“Redevelopment plan” means the John F. Kennedy International Airport redevelopment program.

§ 2. No later than February 1 and August 1 of each year, the contracted entity shall submit to the council a report on the progress of the redevelopment plan and any related community benefit agreements. The report shall include, but need not be limited to:

1. The progress made to date on the redevelopment plan and any changes made to the scope, timeline or budget of the redevelopment plan;

2. Actions taken by the Port Authority pursuant to its agreement with the contracted entity related to the redevelopment plan and any community benefit agreements that are known to the contracted entity, including:

(a) any property acquisitions or transfers;

(b) any contracts awarded to architects, engineers, construction firms or other contractors;

(c) any applications or awards for permits or variances;

(d) any changes made to airport operations or flight paths;

(e) the establishment of any advisory boards or committees; and

(f) any other relevant policies enacted, financing arrangements made, or other procedural

actions taken related to the redevelopment plan.

3. An analysis of the impact to date of the redevelopment plan and any community benefit agreements on surrounding communities, including but not limited to impacts on jobs, businesses, traffic, noise and pollution; and

4. Any other information the contracted entity determines may be relevant regarding the redevelopment plan, community benefit agreements, or associated actions of the Port Authority.

§ 3. This local law takes effect immediately and is deemed repealed upon completion of the redevelopment plan.
