Key formal actions and outcomes recorded during the meeting:

- Adopt agenda: Motion to adopt the meeting agenda was moved and seconded; outcome adopted (mover/second not specified in the transcript).

- Revocable consent — Blue Bottle Coffee, 2 Astor Place: The board voted to recommend approval of a revocable consent for an unenclosed sidewalk cafe at 2 Astor Place (3 tables, 6 chairs). The licensing committee presented the application and the full board approved it by roll call. Vote tally recorded during the meeting: 46 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain (roll‑call details provided by meeting clerk).

- Omnibus roll‑call vote: The board consolidated multiple committee resolutions into a single omnibus vote. The omnibus included:
• Two Landmarks Committee items (including 186 Sullivan Street rooftop structure and 29 East 11th Street front stoop/ rear extension recommendations),
• Nineteen SLA/licensing committee resolutions (corporate and new liquor‑license items, stipulation agreements and grocery/wine area approvals),
• Two Traffic & Transportation resolutions (temporary protected bike lanes and West Houston protective barriers), and
• Two Schools & Education committee resolutions (after‑school reimbursement for July–August and remote/hybrid learning guidance with a parental‑input amendment).

The omnibus roll call was recorded: 47 yes; two no votes were entered on Landmarks item number 2 (opposed by Brian Pape and Rocio Sands as recorded). No abstentions were recorded for the omnibus as a whole.

Several committee items were laid over or withdrawn earlier in the meeting; the licensing committee noted that five of 19 applications presented had been heard that night and the rest were deferred. The chair said members could call out items for separate consideration, but most passed as part of the omnibus.

All votes and roll calls were read aloud in the meeting; where individual votes were read the clerk recited member names and yea/nay responses. Minutes for April were not approved that night and were deferred to a future meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Manhattan CB2 May 21, 2020 - Full Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its May 20 virtual meeting Manhattan Community Board 2 adopted the agenda, approved a revocable consent for a Blue Bottle sidewalk cafe and advanced an omnibus package of committee resolutions including licensing, landmarks, traffic and education items; roll calls were recorded for several items.","taxTitle","Manhattan City, New York County, New York","taxId",3586,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6634747,"CB2 backers plan open‑streets, outdoor dining guidance and temporary protected bike lanes",1117,6098000,7215000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a&start=6098&end=7215","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a/thumbnail_6098000.jpg","/articles/6634747/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/CB2-backers-plan-openstreets-outdoor-dining-guidance-and-temporary-protected-bike-lanes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634747-66c67d70c6136d0a6df30fbe69af018d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179003&Signature=gUOmDyAj3ep-tMM~gyfRuLgN6Y3gmQgxEtDEfxcIacxKRBFPM~TvpGqNMwSEsMKmzJOu2minR5q48FtsmxN~GNKM8vv8DFbANWCLqy6anPsV0m9uMOU4cDNI~DD0lCjCJLOV0NjsXZM2H8eK7zHUsTEX4mL-fHA5xagaTK-KdmgEH1uPfdTKsbOV2p-gtdQ2XiVktaR0Irw8IywGz~0vOqTmOEqlEn6c~u4snVNUpKm7vFdAFQo5UskaDi4Zj4a2lVW02ldsCLnhE6H3lk9hSZG6XcWgZITd4BuHpmUbRNBbMQX~KwdoHwpMUSFfrIcoVBQ2CYBtfcjbk65r7EtjNw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Manhattan Community Board 2 members on May 20 said they would form a working group to develop local guidance for open‑air dining and to consider applications for the city’s Open Streets program, while the Traffic & Transportation Committee advanced two resolutions recommending temporary cycling improvements.

Board leadership said Little West 12th Street, a block of West 13th Street, University Place and part of MacDougal Street were already enrolled in the city’s Open Streets pilot or under consideration. The board announced a new working group, chaired by Valerie De La Rosa, with members from committee leadership to draft parameters for outdoor dining that reflect the board’s diverse neighborhood character and the high number of sidewalk cafes in the district.

Separately, the Traffic & Transportation Committee asked the Department of Transportation to install a temporary protected bike lane on the east side of Sixth Avenue from Canal Street to a connecting point near Greenwich Avenue, and to add temporary protective barriers on the West Houston Street bike lane between Washington and West Street until permanent safety improvements can be made. Committee members said the lane extensions and barriers would improve safety for cyclists and create more space for social distancing as streets reopen.

Committee members said DOT representatives had told the committee they wanted to simplify the permitting process and would present an update to the board’s June traffic meeting. The board moved the resolutions into the omnibus vote for later roll call.","Manhattan Community Board 2 discussed open‑streets applications, a working group to design outdoor‑dining parameters and two traffic resolutions urging temporary protected bike lanes to aid social distancing and safer cycling.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6634751,"Community board urges DOE action on remote learning, after‑school funding and digital equity",281,8094000,8375000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a&start=8094&end=8375","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a/thumbnail_8094000.jpg","/articles/6634751/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Community-board-urges-DOE-action-on-remote-learning-afterschool-funding-and-digital-equity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634751-8a819fbe5e99a590a4f47805f34cac40/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179003&Signature=ef05WzQb6H2xDv2mMF4KwMkhwuGAWXfD7xYEjO-jH~fwUTOQ3DhktsUut1gX4ONCC0cxXJcvf1BcK-Gej1n5LhtQac-VrFjiVvcAZVbyfgWzrvtE435zdmmdEwsA5h9vpYdBTy7wNOSl~050bgj1imyaNYu8S~FzW14UyEF3PFaI~5dX9rIyUuQDf7xWlo~5ESS~7aG-KTkpWOgOiEprxKeOPi8fNgNA-ThOV0XUk~M767mlIns9uC-OWEsG3Jwz0YMOfjqEE7zsmTFejcMNiiYtvYHvZSdGKUlJNG7okHGoXbu1-SE0CUv-RwP4Xje-j6HBa7beUKPCurQrTNqcQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Manhattan Community Board 2’s Schools & Education Committee presented two resolutions the full board moved into its omnibus vote on May 20, calling on the New York City Department of Education to publish clear remote‑learning guidance, expand access to devices and broadband, and protect after‑school funding.

The committee unanimously recommended that the DOE reimburse middle‑school after‑school providers for July and August 2020 so programs can prepare and safely serve working families and vulnerable students. The resolution characterized after‑school programs as a critical equity tool and urged immediate reimbursement of expenses incurred by providers.

A second, broader resolution sought concrete DOE policies for remote and hybrid learning, including standards for live (synchronous) and recorded (asynchronous) instruction, guidance on small‑group interactions and teacher training, and plans to address social‑emotional and trauma needs. The committee called for every student to have a remote learning device (noting that middle and high school students need laptops with keyboards), expanded high‑speed broadband access in low‑income communities and targeted funding for students in transitional housing, students with disabilities and English‑language learners.

Committee members and public commenters also urged the DOE to solicit input from parents, administrators, teachers, community boards and after‑school providers before finalizing plans. The full board moved the resolutions into the omnibus for a later roll‑call vote.","Community Board 2’s Schools & Education Committee unanimously urged the Department of Education to finalize remote learning policy, fund middle‑school after‑school programs for July–August, close the digital divide and ensure social‑emotional supports for students returning in fall 2020.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6634756,"Lawmakers outline housing and pandemic relief options: eviction moratoriums, rent assistance and mortgage forbearance",2556,1370000,3926000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a&start=1370&end=3926","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a/thumbnail_1370000.jpg","/articles/6634756/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Lawmakers-outline-housing-and-pandemic-relief-options-eviction-moratoriums-rent-assistance-and-mortgage-forbearance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634756-ec84f51f0485412392b0d6be3cc714cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179003&Signature=WilOunXGox8ATof9kyTW0Fa7i1Px1qo-ttHuKs3cEWAueuiU6XwK6JN8SpJHEcVZaBCh6ux~kYnd53OHIPwC3TiCHNJ-wB4wZW5kVYK1OWh8m7xj~IriMannEcufnScRXYVKPK1lIpY6RPNpx9WNmUAxYg3VV-wwwhYGBrhbjG2p8YUpjQ3fPPcaAxGfCaPfwrnvKyFhDyutP9LDSNoXBBbiUcTL~vrbz5LJxoiO5hS8s3EJ3LNUj8ikt2IdkL3gyXWOp4vdxYeYYkgjoSdh4y2xQkscNrfrzuiZt7qUgjkWRYtATiCJsIGt1ts6sI6vcj~FGjHrYl47KtBg2Ozw~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","State and local elected officials who addressed Manhattan Community Board 2 on May 20 said they were pursuing a mix of immediate protections and longer‑term programs to avert evictions and stabilize housing during the COVID‑19 pandemic.

State Senator Brad Hoylman said he was working on bills to extend protections for tenants, including measures to shield tenants from evictions while the public health emergency persists. Hoylman said he supported the Child Victims Act extension and other items on his Albany agenda, and described legislation he introduced to continue alcohol delivery privileges for restaurants for two years after the emergency, subject to community board or municipal input.

Senator Brian Kavanaugh, chair of the state senate housing committee, said the governor had issued a moratorium on evictions but that the most recent extension contained language that would permit landlords to file new cases and seek adjudication of whether a tenant had suffered a COVID‑19 hardship. Kavanaugh said he and colleagues had urged the governor to issue a clearer, blanket stay on eviction filings and were pressing for federal funds and state measures to provide rental assistance.

Kavanaugh described legislation he sponsored to create a rent‑assistance structure modeled on Section 8 that would cover households with pandemic‑related hardships and to permit wider mortgage forbearance by New York‑supervised lenders that extends loan terms rather than leaving accumulated unpaid balances due immediately after the crisis. He said the House Democrats’ HEROES Act included large sums for housing that advocates have sought: $100 billion for rental assistance among larger housing provisions.

Assemblymember Deborah Glick said the state faced a multibillion‑dollar deficit and she and colleagues were weighing revenue options, including a high‑earner income bracket and a pied‑a‑terre tax, while pressing for federal relief to backfill state programs so schools and services can be protected. Glick said her office had distributed sanitizer and masks and was working on higher‑education and workforce concerns.

Board members raised concerns about small landlords who lack mortgages, the need for direct subsidies for landlords with operating costs, and possible unintended consolidation of small rental buildings if owners cannot meet expenses. Senator Kavanaugh said federal stimulus and rental‑assistance programs that pay rents directly would be the most effective mitigation and urged congressional action.","State legislators and Manhattan elected officials discussed proposals to protect tenants and small landlords, create rental assistance modeled on Section 8, extend mortgage forbearance and enshrine remote meeting flexibility after COVID‑19; several bills and executive actions remain pending.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6634760,"U.S. Census official urges Manhattan residents to respond as local rates lag",136,898000,1034000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a&start=898&end=1034","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2662434-809662b93e4cfb9fbcb5405a927a925a/thumbnail_898000.jpg","/articles/6634760/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/US-Census-official-urges-Manhattan-residents-to-respond-as-local-rates-lag","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6634760-972d4b556a690d94319bbe93b4340cd5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179003&Signature=jl7mFBmejp0TtlFKSw3mqSQ3w8v6Zfp8IIsn8XoJWkPtawX2VDI-TzpagJDwRmdsfJ7cB3fiHrnGKkRogTeuiU89yoWFR6kjv9o9MIvTowKyAm3A94NhFBrIVQbhP~jVBM6-TuiC32-oiBbW-dwHfAshDbIxNnv6IfA53fBNvrSwAwtX7K7bKvW~9mH0XAVFOYunGTOpKDLeu11HRe~7UP~eEkJdgOvfm0NvGKoWizUZxCEef7wvQFdKqC~t7k-VQFgf6JZec~MQBWx7cQwOmZSjr0FZ320GVn3YSNpzAXUehmN0BKUy2FsM2afWRvgoQWJV7F-jATzsVNYtFDD77w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sarah Malaika, a partnership specialist with the U.S. Census Bureau in Manhattan, told Manhattan Community Board 2 on May 20 that the 2020 census was underway but that New York City trailed the national self‑response rate.

Malaika said the national response rate was 59.8 percent and New York City’s rate was about 49.6 percent as of that day. She said the Census Bureau had suspended field operations because of the coronavirus pandemic and planned to resume non‑response follow‑up, the door‑to‑door enumeration phase, on Aug. 11 if public health authorities permit.

The Census Bureau is encouraging people to respond online at 2020census.gov, by phone or by mail. Malaika told the board that many New Yorkers are temporarily relocated because of COVID‑19 and urged residents to “respond where they live most of the time,” even if they are temporarily away from the city.

Board members asked whether the Census had compared 2020 mid‑May response rates with the same point in 2010 and whether door‑knocking would extend into September. Malaika said response this year lagged behind the comparable point in 2010 and that the Bureau had asked Congress for a 120‑day extension, which would push the final day to Oct. 31 if approved. She said non‑response follow‑up was planned for August, September and October if the extension is granted.

Malaika offered to work with the board, committees, tenant associations, schools and businesses to develop local outreach strategies and to provide maps and tract‑level data. She said she would post the Census website link in the meeting chat and provided her availability while working remotely that summer.

The board’s public‑comment period concluded after the presentation and members moved on to the meeting agenda.","A U.S. Census Bureau partnership specialist told Manhattan Community Board 2 that New York City’s 2020 self-response rate trailed the national average and door‑knock operations were postponed until August because of COVID‑19; she encouraged online, phone or mail responses and offered help to local groups.","actionData","errors"]
