Resolution approving the Report and Advisory Board Review Commission’s determination recommending waiver of eight reporting requirements that was communicated to the City Council on January 24, 2023.

 

By Council Members Ung, Hudson and Narcisse

 

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 January 11, 2023, the RABRC made determinations to waive the following eight reporting requirements: the Shipboard Gambling Report as required by §20-9017 of the administrative code of the city of New York; the report on Other Wholesale Markets as required by §22-269 of the administrative code of the city of New York; the Seafood Distribution Areas/Fulton Fish Market Report as required by §22-226 of the administrative code of the city of New York; the report on Directory Assistance Calls as required by §1075(c) of the New York city charter; the report on Service Request Calls as required by §1075(b) of the New York city charter; the Small Purchases Report as required by §314(b) of the New York city charter; the Article 214 Closings Report as required by §28-214.1.6 of the administrative code of the city of New York; and the Neighborhood Slow Zones Report as required by §19-177(d)(2) of the administrative code of the city of New York;

Whereas, On January 24, 2023, 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

Resolved, That the Council of the City of New York approves the Report and Advisory Board Review Commission’s determination recommending waiver of eight reporting requirements that was communicated to the City Council on January 24, 2023.
