| * | Vincent Ignizio | | Coupled on GO | Establishment of the South Shore BID, Staten Island | Introduction | Int. 656 would establish the South Shore BID on Staten Island in Council Member Ignizio’s district. This BID would consist of three, small, non-contiguous commercial strips located in the towns of Great Kills, Eltingville and Annadale. This is an interesting BID because it would be the City’s first BID consisting of three separate commercial strips under the umbrella of one BID. The BID would be comprised of 217 parcels of land containing 275 businesses, most of which are independently-owned and some of which are regional and national chain stores. The majority of the BID is commercial, but there are also public facilities, transportation and utilities, vacant land, and 82 residential units.
The BID would have a relatively small budget of $185,000 in its first year, with the average assessment being approximately $1,002 per year and the maximum projected assessment being $5,090 per year. | Approved by Council | Pass |

| * | Rory I. Lancman | ~SPONSOR | Public Safety | Expand the NYPD's reporting requirements to include the number of arrests that were voided by the police, or were declined to be prosecuted by the local prosecutor. | Introduction | Section §14-150 of New York’s Administrative Code, requires the New York City Police Department to provide to the Council various statistical criteria relating to the operation of the NYPD. Paragraph (4) in particular, requests the total number of arrests, crime complaints, arrests, summons activity, domestic violence radio runs and felony complaints for properties under the jurisdiction of the department of parks and recreation. Each of these requests requires a further breakdown in areas such as level of crime, precinct where crime occurred, transit district and other useful categories that assist in providing the council with a more detailed understanding of the requested information. This amendment would require the NYPD to report on the number of voided arrests as well as the number of arrest which were declined by the local prosecutor providing a broader picture of NYPD statistics. | Referred to Comm by Council | |
