Whereas, On November 2, 2010, the voters of the City of New York approved a series of revisions to the New York City Charter, including the addition of section 1113, which established the Report and Advisory Board Review Commission (RABRC); and

Whereas, Pursuant to section 1113, the RABRC has the power and duty to review all requirements in the New York City Charter, the Administrative Code of the City of New York and the unconsolidated local laws of the City of New York mandating the issuance of reports by public agencies, officers or employees; and

Whereas, Under section 1113, the RABRC also has the power, subject to the approval of the City Council, to waive any such reporting requirement and thereby cause the relevant report to cease to be required by law; and

Whereas, Section 1113 provides that, following a determination by the RABRC to waive any reporting requirement, the City Council may approve or disapprove such determination by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the Council Members; and

Whereas, Section 1113 further provides that any such disapproval by the Council shall be final unless the Mayor files a written veto of the Council’s action, which may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of all the Council Members; and

Whereas, On December 10, 2021, the RABRC made determinations to waive the following six reporting requirements: the report on the assessment of city facilities regarding certain clean on-site power generation technologies required by subdivision c of section 4-207 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the High Pedestrian Crash Location Report required by subdivision b of section 19-180.1 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the New York City Sports Commission Reports required by paragraphs 3 and 4 of subdivision c of section 541 of the New York City Charter, the 911 Operational Time Analysis Report required by and described in subdivisions b and c of section 14-149 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Annual Youth Services Reports required by subdivision a of section 21-402 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York and the submission to the Council of a copy of the Community Services Block Grant Report required by paragraph ii of subdivision b of section 21-402 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York;

Whereas,  On December 30, 2021, the RABRC communicated such determinations to the City Council by submitting a written statement of each determination along with the rationale therefor; now, therefore, be it
