CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT………………………………………………………....….DANIEL KUMMER

Chairperson Daniel Kummer began his report by reporting to the board that within the past week we’ve had 2 resignations from the Community Board, bringing our total headcount down to 45 members. Board Member Monique Verret, who has served on the Community Board for at least a decade, has cited competing demands on her personal time which has made attendance difficult. She has asked to remain on the Transportation Committee and will continue to serve out her term as a committee member. Board Member Joni Kletter has also cited competing demands on her time having also been appointed as a trustee at the Park Slope Civic Council and serving as a delegate in Council Member Lander’s Participatory Budgeting initiative. She has also requested to stay on the Parks/Recreation Committee as a committee member. He thanked them both for their selfless service to our communities and for their continued service as active committee members.

Chairperson Kummer reminded the Board that each year the Executive Committee reviews the existing committee structure of the board to see if any changes should be considered for the coming year. While we have all noted the heavy caseload our Permits & Licenses Committee carries we do not have a consensus on how our structure could be changed to better distribute the work. So for our upcoming 2013-14 session we will not be making any changes to the existing committee structure. Applications for committee membership will be out in June, appointments made in August, and the new one-year terms are effective on September 1st.

Chairperson Kummer informed the Board that the Department of Transportation has made some pretty broad- sweeping changes to travel along the 4th Avenue corridor in the 2 Community Boards directly to our south. These changes seem to be working well for those communities. Over the last few months DOT has held an Open House and has had some preliminary conversations with stakeholders in our area as well. At our next Transportation Committee meeting at 6:30pm on Thursday, May 16th DOT will be presenting their findings and recommendations to us for review and consideration. The meeting will be held at the Family Reception Center at the corner of 4th Avenue and 9th Street.

Chairperson Kummer ended his report by stating that last month we were unable to complete our official business as a board because toward the end of the evening we lost our quorum. He asked that all Board Members make an effort to stay to the end of the meeting even if they run long. Tonight we have two items which we were scheduled to vote on last month that has been carried over to this month’s agenda. We will be hearing those DOT items first, so not to run the risk of having to lay them over again if the meeting runs long.

 ADOPTION OF MINUTES 

Board Member Glenn Kelly made a motion to accept the minutes of the April’s general meeting, seconded by Board Member Roger Rigolli.

TIME: 6:52 P.M.

DISTRICT MANAGER’S REPORT………………………………………….…….CRAIG HAMMERMAN

District Manager Craig Hammerman began his report by welcoming the staff from the Ridgewood Savings Bank on Court Street. Since the Community Board formed its 501(c)3 non-profit organization a decade ago we

2

had a need for banking services. The staff at the bank has been neighborly and very accommodating as well. He thanked them for the excellent service to us, and the broader community.

District Manager Hammerman informed the board of an emergency condition at 255 Columbia Street in the Columbia Waterfront section of our district. Department of Buildings has ordered the owner to remedy this situation by making the building safe.

District Manager Hammerman reported to the Board that he recently met with the Deputy Director of the Mayor’s Office of Operations. For the last 25 years, the Mayor’s Office of Operations has been taking monthly measurements of street and sidewalk cleanliness throughout the City. He brought to the director’s attention the fact that we have a very substantial and swiftly changing infrastructure on our street and public spaces. The introduction of new elements like bike corrals, the expansion of class 1 bicycle lanes and the roll-out of new bike docking stations to name a few, have an unintended consequence of creating opportunities for litter to collect. The Department of Transportation has a mission to expand these elements and our board has generally been supportive of these types of projects. But at the same time the Department of Sanitation has an obligation to clean our streets and this new infrastructure has made that task much more challenging. If unattended this challenge could result in a diminished quality of life which was not the intention. We have challenged them to come up with a better way to accurately monitor cleanliness in light of the new infrastructure. They acknowledged that this is a growing need and is unsure whether the current administration would be able to do anything in the short amount of time they have left. We did get their attention and their commitment to get the ball rolling.

District Manager Hammerman thanked Assistant District Manager Leroy Branch for hosting our annual bar and restaurant informational meeting on April 30th in an effort to better understand the rules and regulations governing these establishments in our district. Representatives from the State Liquor Authority, City agencies and local precincts were invited to answer any questions with respect to noise, smoking, backyard usage, garbage and other related issues. The State Liquor Authority could not attend this year’s meeting but will be that the Borough Presidents Cabinet meeting in which Assistant District Manager Branch will be attending. If anyone has any questions they would like him to ask please call him at the district office.

District Manager Hammerman ended his report by advising the Board that SUNY Downstate officials announced they are withdrawing a plan to close Long Island College Hospital and will now work to craft a sustainability plan to continue medical services and education at the hospital.

Chairperson Kummer recognized elected officials representatives

Kai Feder, representing Borough President Markowitz, invited everyone to the Borough Presidents annual Assembly of the Federation of Brooklyn Block Associations on May 14th. This is a forum where block associations can meet with city agency/organization/company representatives about issues and concerns facing our blocks & communities.

Metin Sarci, representing Council Member Steven Levin reported that Council Members Levin and Lander co- sponsored a resolution that was passed by the City Council to save Long Island College Hospital from shuttering. The resolution calls on the State University of New York and the State Department of Health to work with stakeholders to find another owner for the Cobble Hill hospital. He also announced the Councilman’s weekly newsletter and urged everyone to visit their website to subscribe to it.

Catherine Zinnel, representing Council Member Brad Lander, also reported that Councilman Lander was very pleased with the passage of his resolution to keep LICH open. The City Council also passed the “Earned Sick Time Act,” which will guarantee five paid sick days per year to workers at all employers with 20 or more employees (extending to employers with at least 15 workers in the fall of 2015, and covering all franchises and 3

chains from the start). It will also cover domestic workers like babysitters. And all other workers will have the right to unpaid sick days, so at least they don’t get fired when they need to stay home sick. She ended by inviting everyone to the 6th annual PTA 5-kilometer run/walk/stroll/toddle in Prospect Park. The race will take place on Saturday, May 11th to support Brooklyn’s PTAs.

Tamar Smith, representing Assembly Member Joan Millman, reported to the Board that the Assemblywoman is in support of the City Council resolution and will keep fighting to keep LICH open. She announced that the non-profit organization A.M.I.C.O. has been awarded a contract by the NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA) to take over the operations of the Eileen C. Dugan Senior Center, which has been closed for renovations since June 2012. Once renovations are completed in the new space the Dugan Center is schedule to re-open in mid- May, and A.M.I.C.O will officially take over the operation on July 1st. She invited everyone to the Assemblywoman’s annual Senior Resource Fair on Friday June 28th from 11am-2pm. The fair will be held at St. Francis College at 180 Remsen Street between Court and Clinton Streets.

Oscar Jonas, representing State Senator Velmanette Montgomery stated that the senator’s office continues to receive reports from constituents that they are having a variety of insurance problems related to their Superstorm Sandy claims, from insufficient payments/reimbursements to letters of cancellation/non-renewal of policies. If you or someone you know is having problems with Sandy-related insurance issues, please email her at montgome@nysenate.gov and put 5025 Insurance Issues in the subject line. He further stated that the Senator is very concerned about a proposal to share our school children's information with a national database for commercial purposes. This idea first surfaced with the NYC Department of Education and has alarmingly progressed to the New York State DOE. The way it was presented at the meeting, parents do not have the option to "opt-out" of the disclosure process, even though Federal legislation requires annual notification and opt-out opportunities. She is therefore co-sponsoring legislation (S4284-2013) that would correct this oversight and protect the privacy rights of students and their families.

Zeeshan Ott, representing State Senator Daniel Squadron, stated that the Senator is also please that LICH will remain open for the time being. He believes that now there's a real opportunity for a collaborative process that engages the community and local leaders on LICH's future. The Senator is also pushing to pass GENDA (S195/Squadron - A4226/Gottfried) legislation which would prohibit discrimination against transgender New Yorkers when it comes to housing, employment, credit, and public accommodations, while expanding New York's hate crimes law to include crimes against transgender individuals.

Tonice Sgrignoli, representing Assembly Member James Brennan, invited everyone to join Brooklyn for Peace and friends at a rally to save SUNY Downstate Medical Center tomorrow. She also announced the passage of the 2013 Fair Elections Act which provides for a public funding system for elections, including primaries as well as the general elections, for both the state legislature and the statewide offices of Governor, Attorney General, and Comptroller. They system would begin with the Comptroller’s office in 2014, the Legislature would be added in 2016, and statewide offices in 2018.

Dan Wiley, representing Congress Member Velázquez, reported to the board that the Congresswoman has introduced three pieces of legislation in the House to address the challenges low-income families in New York City are currently experiencing following Superstorm Sandy and in future major disasters.

1. The Public Housing Disaster Preparedness Act would correct many of the issues that came up during and after Sandy by helping tenants obtain shelter, food and water; restoring utilities; and mitigating resident health and safety hazards.

2. The Safely Sheltering Disaster Victims Act would provide additional Section 8 housing choice vouchers to low-income victims of Sandy at no additional cost to the tax payers.

3. The Raising Employment in Affordable Communities and Homes Act would increase the availability of jobs for families who jobs were lost because of Sandy by requiring certain HUD funding recipients to develop and execute detailed hiring and training plans in order to maximize their legal obligations under Section 3.

 COMMITTEE REPORTS 

TRANSPORTATION/PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE……...........THOMAS L. MISKEL, CO-CHAIR

………….……….SAYAR LONIAL, CO-CHAIR

Public Safety Committee Chairperson Sayar Lonial reported to the Board that the committee reviewed the Department of Transportation's proposal to install a new pair of bicycle lanes on Union Street and Sackett Street between Van Brunt Street and 3rd Avenue.

Motion: by Board Member Peter Fleming, seconded by Board Member Elizabeth Shipley; Recommendation to approve a proposal by the Department of Transportation to install a new pair of bicycle lanes on Union Street and Sackett Street between Van Brunt Street and 3rd Avenue

Board Member Roger Rigolli is concerned with the safety of bicyclist in relation to truck traffic as they get closer to Van Brunt Street.

Board Member Daniel Kummer stated that he has some reservations in regards to adding a bike lane on Union Street between Hicks and Henry Street where the 76th Police Precinct has angle parking may be a safety concern as it relates to enough space for cars and bikes.

Friendly Amendment: by Board Member Daniel Kummer, accepted by Board Member Peter Fleming, Recommendation to ask DOT to reevaluate the class 1 bike lanes on Union Street between Henry and Hicks streets possibly making them to Class 2 or Class 3 lanes.

Discussion on original motion as amended continued.

VOTE: 26 YEAS, 1 NAY, 1 ABSTENTION

MOTION PASSED

TIME: 7:12 P.M.

Public Safety Committee Chairperson Sayar Lonial also reported to the Board that the committee reviewed the Department of Transportation’s proposal to install a new on-street bicycle parking facilities (bike corrals) in front of 153 Columbia Street.

Motion: by Board Member Daniel Kummer, accepted by Board Member Roger Rigolli, Recommendation to ask DOT to defer the bike corral until such time as there’s a greater demonstrated need and/or to potentially fold this proposal into the planning for the park space that will hopefully be installed across from this location.

Board Member Daniel Kummer stated that while he was inspecting the block for the possible bike corral he did observe 7 bike racks and 5 of them were unused. There are also several unused bike racks on adjoining blocks. At this time he does not see a need to justify the removing of parking to add a bike corral. There are residential buildings, ball fields, restaurants, and a mental health facility/home on or in the immediate vicinity in which visitors and residents will need the scarce parking, and to take away any parking even if it is one space would be detrimental to the area. It also sets a bad precedent, particularly as we are on the cusp of dealing with the whole 5

issue of the siting of the bike share locations to simply grant a group’s request to remove a parking space in front of its office. It’s not to take away at all from the excellent work that the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative has done, but having a bike corral in front of their office is not critical to their mission.

Board Member Elizabeth Shipley asked if this proposal was something DOT came up with or was it a request. Public Safety Committee Chairperson Sayar Lonial stated that it was a request made by the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative.

Friendly Amendment: by Board Member Lance Pinn, accepted by Board Member Daniel Kummer, Recommendation to ask DOT to investigate other alternatives to installing the bike corral that would not include taking away any parking spaces.

Discussion on original motion as amended continued.

Board Member Roger Rigolli asked how Sanitation would clean the bike corral. Board Member Daniel Kummer stated that a sponsor would enter into an agreement with DOT to keep the corrals clean.

 COMMUNITY SESSION 

Warren Cohen, spoke about the importance of including the communities voice in large development, i.e., The Lightstone Group project, in the Gowanus section of our district. Brooklyn CB6 wrote in their letter to City Planning that when Lightstone proposed a minor modification to the project that there was discomfort with the process that the normal land use procedures were not followed. As we all know that since that modification has been withdrawn, one of the largest developments in the Gowanus will go up as an “as-of-right” project with no input from this board, our elected officials or the community. If we had discomfort with the old process we definitely should have it with the way this project is moving forward. Since the last time this project was discussed we have been devastated with Hurricane Sandy which made building this project in its current proposal a game changer. Since then our elected officials have written letters asking that the project be postponed until further studies could be done in regards to the impact on the community and/or what safety measures should be put into place to prevent such devastation as it was after Hurricane Sandy. I would ask the Board to keep up the fight and think over its endorsement of The Lightstone Group project and maybe address this issue in future meetings.

Owen Foote, representing the Gowanus Dredgers invited everyone on June 15th to the Gowanus Canal’s first rowing regatta, canoe and kayak race on the canal. The Dredgers and the Red Hook Boaters are hosting this historic race called The Gowanus Challenge! This is the first race which will be a 2.5 mile round trip where the entire course and the ensuing awards banquet will be held completely on a U.S.-government sanctioned Superfund site. Each team is expected to raise $500 and the money will go toward the Dredgers’ educational offerings focused on New York’s fetid waterways.

Steve Ettlinger, representing the residents in and around the Barclay Center is calling on volunteers to help with a survey that will be conducted on the weekend of June 8th–10th. Due to the massive illegal parking that takes place in the residential neighborhoods around the center the folks from the Atlantic Yards watch will be conducting a survey to share its results with the City, Barclay representatives and the community in the hopes of getting more resources in the area to prevent the illegal parking.

Sister Ray, spoke about the relocation of the Pacific Street Branch of the Brooklyn Public library. It will have an adverse effect on the community as well as make it difficult and dangerous for the patrons of the library to access it if they move it across Atlantic Avenue. Furthermore because of the significance of the Carnegie building being the first one in New York it should be landmarked. Chairperson Kummer stated that the board is on record saying the building should be landmarked and should not be sold.

 NEW/OTHER BUSINESS 

No new business.

Motion: by Board Member Roger Rigolli, seconded by Board Member Peter Fleming; To adjourn the meeting.
