Officials only, in order.
How do you plan to regularly assess and update those numbers so that the shelters are fairly distributed across the city?Elsie Encarnación · District 838:39rec. 2
My next is regarding the Sunnyside plan, um, because this plan seems to be heavily reliant on federal funds. Would we have to adhere solely to the federal DBE program, which recently has been revamped to exclude women and minorities as part of the criteria, or could we use our MWBE program that we currently use to ensure 30% participation?Shanel Thomas-Henry · District 2142:49rec. 2
I think, I think the issue though with the process, right, is that in the past that community boards, sometimes even borough presidents, would opine on the details of a particular project and they would be— they would go unheeded by the time the commission did its vote.David M.

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
