The board also completed its biennial officer election.

Key votes and outcomes

• Stonewall National Monument wording: The full board adopted a resolution (as amended) calling for immediate restoration of the word “transgender” on the National Park Service’s Stonewall National Monument website and related material and asking the city and state to add signage acknowledging transgender participation in the LGBTQ civil‑rights movement. The resolution was introduced by the board’s Parks & Landmarks/Heritage committee and amended on the floor to add a city/state signage request. It passed in full board vote.

• ICE access to public schools: The Schools and Education Committee presented a unanimous committee resolution “opposing the 01/13/2025 directive allowing ICE access to New York City public schools.” The full board adopted the committee’s resolution, which calls on the mayor to rescind the directive and reaffirms the board’s commitment to privacy and equal education for all students regardless of immigration status.

• Officer elections: The tally committee reported results under the board bylaws. The new officers for the coming term are: Chair — Valerie De La Rosa (41 votes); First Vice Chair — Eugene Yu (39 votes, 2 abstentions); Second Vice Chair — Donna Raftery (28 votes) elected over Arturo Fernandez (13 votes); Treasurer — Anthony Wong (40 votes, 1 abstention); Secretary — Emma Smith (40 votes, 1 abstention); Assistant Secretary — Brian Pape (40 votes, 1 abstention). The tally committee confirmed and reported these totals at the meeting.

• Street Activities & SAPO: The Street Activities committee considered seven street‑event applications for short activations and filmed activations on Broadway and Gansevoort; most applications were approved or noted as FYI renewals with standard stipulations, one Gansevoort activation was denied because the applicant could not specify the event details and committee language called for SAPO to require better on‑site representation from applicants and clearer coordination between expediters and ultimate clients.

• SLA (State Liquor Authority) items: SLA committees met and considered multiple applications and class‑change requests. Several applications were reported as “deny unless” with stipulations; some items were layed over, and committee recusals were recorded where committee members had declared conflicts.

• Landmarks recommendations: The Landmarks committee reported approval, conditional approval or denial for several building alteration applications, including front‑and‑rear‑façade work and rooftop additions on Tenth Street, Bank Street and Bleecker Street. Specific approvals and denials were forwarded to the full board as committee recommendations.

Votes and recusals were announced on the record and recorded by the tally committee. Several items were returned to committee for further information (for example, a recurring Stonewall Veterans event was laid over so the committee could seek further financial or organizational details).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Manhattan CB2 March 20, 2025 - Full Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Community Board 2 adopted resolutions on Stonewall’s online wording and on ICE access to public schools, took committee actions on street events and SLA applications, and elected officers at its March full board meeting.","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},6626662,"DSNY warns Manhattan residents: composting becomes mandatory April 1; enforcement and bins discussed",360,2076000,2436000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2750721-eb65599bf807085f6c7668bc9844ed0d&start=2076&end=2436","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2750721-eb65599bf807085f6c7668bc9844ed0d/thumbnail_2076000.jpg","/articles/6626662/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/DSNY-warns-Manhattan-residents-composting-becomes-mandatory-April-1-enforcement-and-bins-discussed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626662-29481166a492e69aebabe7a2486486e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180913&Signature=XHNdvQnIvFuYHM-Dv3tKtnlWKYaSH29RKolswuvpoU3BxGp71Tepnn6eb6Ccn6xtBRLQlbfJ~1qHosuoQAjwx1DDq7N5xL4sb9itLbvsqjOyTe5wskQe~RS~zuBT7hFlbRQQQFGWl-sYsFFV06R658trT9wTLZPTiXjyvoayYc4JIRhGVDOStz7ee1MX~2WK3Et8HiWjtxTvwBPA2nOhjjt0Bryg4cg3A7hDOibHQhKpmC4kYntS4fnL-nepwb7ASygrTIxvcgVEY4CzvKJEkOgT8pwbgvFyXdmUK9asZQ4N01cxL8KC2zhgeZGhmorwHe7leaPC8kn33jYyhNqExw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A representative from the New York City Department of Sanitation told Manhattan Community Board 2 that starting April 1 the city will begin issuing summonses for failure to separate compostable food scraps, and staff at the meeting fielded residents’ questions about containers, building types and enforcement timing.

Marissa Yanni, Manhattan community affairs liaison for DSNY, told the board: “Starting April 1, it’s no joke. You will receive a ticket if you do not compost.” She advised that compostable material must be separated from regular garbage and placed in a clearly labeled bin with a lid that is 55 gallons or smaller, and that property managers or tenants may use any such bin rather than a DSNY‑branded container.

Board members and several residents asked how the rules apply to mixed‑use or commercial buildings that use private carting companies, whether tenants would be taught how to compost, and how fines are applied. Yanni said DSNY has done outreach since October and has been tabling in building lobbies and at community events; she also said help materials and recorded information sessions are available online.

On enforcement, Yanni said inspectors will issue summonses when they observe compostable material in the regular garbage bag rather than for lack of a container: “It is not due to lack of compost bin that you will receive the ticket. It is actual compostable material in the black bag.” Residents asked how often a property could be cited; Yanni said a property can be cited multiple times and an individual street‑level inspection could trigger a ticket, subject to the usual procedures.

Several residents raised operational questions — whether clear versus colored inner bags were required, how pizza boxes should be handled, and how small co‑ops or three‑unit buildings should comply — and a DSNY liaison answered that clear liners are preferred and that greasy pizza boxes generally go into recycling or compost only if heavily soiled.

Community members urged DSNY to do tenant‑focused outreach and to consider a grace period; Yanni said the department has been doing presentations and will continue outreach and could provide more decals and flyers to the district office.

The board’s public session also included reminders from elected‑office staff about upcoming composting workshops and participatory‑budgeting events tied to local council offices.","A Department of Sanitation liaison told Community Board 2 that starting April 1 composting is mandatory and that buildings that do not separate food scraps may receive summonses; meeting attendees asked about building exemptions, suitable containers and outreach to tenants.",{"_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},6626667,"State senator briefs Manhattan board on budget fights: mental‑health commitment, discovery and school phone rules",616,241000,857000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2750721-eb65599bf807085f6c7668bc9844ed0d&start=241&end=857","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2750721-eb65599bf807085f6c7668bc9844ed0d/thumbnail_241000.jpg","/articles/6626667/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/State-senator-briefs-Manhattan-board-on-budget-fights-mentalhealth-commitment-discovery-and-school-phone-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626667-10726044e7d244eef4085de9784f1fdc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771180913&Signature=JS2vdh7t0pPSPGVkRlbeZLYFa9tPAnDjYHuVQS2Y9n8k7TdTVoDzNeJFbifcuCB3r2nvy8-CE2znvCLo-I5XU1GJrnBO3lq6hOoBxnupkrJ5nqGry6LG46AN13aqlZKCM6~HblLP7gY~l6T6FhkfuFjvZsgu4eCOrMfmpNiVzLMF~RlT0WApQDKzP9MQXerBisr-HTJ-ErjcvMYSsFiODKfRYLFKwVucGGaYX3p77WzMoNkBBzwLQHsqYIAf1oj9ndKoG-0cyjWNn7LVOwlNYys2y1DdqW5u62SOJGmI3Z1NDLD63VJ4lrzXjw4F9pUqB2dBvjLlGgUYrLBb2dAoDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","State Senator Brad Hoylman‑Sigal addressed Manhattan Community Board 2 at the March meeting to summarize the ongoing state budget negotiations in Albany and highlight several proposals he described as the governor’s priorities and areas of legislative negotiation.

Hoylman‑Sigal said four large policy topics were in play: changes to involuntary commitment standards for people in crisis, reforms to criminal discovery rules, a renewed mask regulation targeting people who use masks to conceal identity during unlawful acts, and a proposal to limit student use of cellphones in schools.

“I’m literally back from Albany an hour ago, but I wanted to come by and say hello and just update you on a budget: right now we’re in Albany negotiating the budget,” Hoylman‑Sigal told the board. He said his own bill to expand the types of mental‑health professionals who can direct an individual into treatment was included in the governor’s budget proposal and that the involuntary‑commitment topic would be a long conversation because it implicates civil‑liberties concerns.

On discovery reform, Hoylman‑Sigal said the aim is to tighten prosecution procedures so that cases are not dismissed on technical mistakes, and he said District Attorney Alvin Bragg supports some reform proposals. About masks, he said the governor’s proposed renewal of a mask ban is targeted at people who “wear masks to disguise their identities while they engage in unlawful activity” but acknowledged First Amendment and legitimate health concerns.

Hoylman‑Sigal also described the governor’s proposal on student cellphone use as one the senator supports as a parent, noting the proposal would remove cellphones from classrooms but not from homes or outside school.

The senator summarized elements of the Senate 1 House budget numbers he said were on the table for health care and related needs: $1.5 billion in health investments statewide, $355 million for hospital funding, $250 million for nursing homes, $100 million for New York City Health + Hospitals, $50 million for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), and a $35 million reproductive freedom and equity grant program. He said those allocations represent the Senate’s policy priorities but that negotiations with the governor remained ongoing.

Hoylman‑Sigal also noted a recent win: he said his office filed an inquiry with the New York State inspector general and that Yeshiva University had agreed to recognize an LGBTQ student club after a dispute; he called that a “little bit of light in an otherwise dark period.”

Board members asked follow‑up questions about proposed Medicaid work requirements and how New York would respond to possible federal reductions; the senator said the state faces difficult choices and that some proposals in the Senate 1 House budget would redirect other funds toward healthcare supports for vulnerable groups.

Hoylman‑Sigal said the budget process would continue through the negotiations with the governor and encouraged residents to follow the process and participate in events related to congestion pricing and other revenue sources under discussion.","State Senator Brad Hoylman‑Sigal told Community Board 2 members the Legislature and governor were negotiating the budget and outlined priorities including involuntary commitment reform, discovery rules, mask regulations and a proposal to restrict cellphones in schools.

The board heard that the task force meets every two weeks and pairs precinct officers with social‑service agencies, sanitation crews and other city staff to respond to locations and individuals who repeatedly appear in complaints.

Council Member Erik Bottcher, who represents the district, described the model as one the city has used in Midtown and Times Square and said it brings social‑service providers into case‑level planning. “What we’ve seen… is that when we get everyone around the table and they come up with a plan for addressing on a case‑by‑case basis the public‑safety needs, what are the locations that are problematic, who are the individuals in our community who are cycling in and out of the precinct, and what can we do marshaling all the resources of the city to address it,” Bottcher said.

Bottcher also repeated his push to expand the city’s Be HeARD program, which he described as a model where “mental‑health professionals respond to mental‑health crisis calls in addition to just the precinct.” He said the program exists in 31 precincts citywide but not in Council District 3 and that expanding it is his top budget priority.

Peter Se, a representative from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, described operational work tied to the task force and efforts to reduce repeat retail theft. “By helping the businesses properly apply a trespass notice, we’re able in some cases to upgrade these petit larceny charges to burglaries, which becomes a felony charge,” Se told the board, describing trainings for retailers on how to document incidents so cases can be prosecuted more effectively.

Se said the DA’s office and the task force are also working with the Department of Sanitation on cleanup, the Department of Buildings on scaffolding issues, and the Department of Environmental Protection on noise concerns.

Board members and residents raised related concerns about placard abuse, “ghost plates” (unidentified license plates), and the speed of enforcement; Bottcher noted recent enforcement efforts and legislation requiring public reporting on ghost plates. He also said he had asked the Department of Environmental Protection to explore responsible use of noise‑detection camera technology to target loud vehicles.

The discussion made a clear distinction between policing responses and services: officials described the interagency group as a mix of law enforcement, city agencies and social‑service providers intended to coordinate responses rather than rely on any single tool.

Looking ahead, the DA’s office said it will continue retailer trainings and work to refine trespass‑notice usage, while the council member said he will press for city budget funding to expand mental‑health responders in the district.

Local elected‑office staff and agency representatives said they will report back on measurable results of the task force in coming months.","City and county officials told Manhattan Community Board 2 they are deploying a biweekly interagency task force to address quality‑of‑life problems around Washington Square and the Sixth Avenue corridor, and discussed expanding mental‑health responder programs and using trespass notices and retail trainings to reduce repeat retail theft.","actionData","errors"]
