Supporters said the extension preserves flexibility for developers of senior housing while the city addresses broader parking shortages. Councilwoman Gennada Isaac said the ordinance \"allows for the building of more housing\" because many senior properties have parking spaces that go unused when residents do not own vehicles.

Resident Philip Armstrong, of 50 Landscape Avenue, spoke during public comment opposing repeated short-term extensions and urged making the rule permanent. \"So after this year, the election's over. Next year, what are we gonna do?\" Armstrong said. He described citywide parking shortages and added, \"Somebody's gotta park someplace, and they can't all ride on on on a public transportation city Yonkers. We know only 20 of the city Yonkers population uses public transportations.\"

The ordinance being extended is identified in the meeting as General Ordinance 10/2024. According to the council statement during the meeting, the item had been introduced May 20, 2025, referred to the Real Estate Committee, considered at a June 3 Rules meeting and placed on the June 10 council agenda for final action. The council closed discussion and called the roll; the deputy clerk recorded the vote as \"Adopted 7 0.\"

The extension delays the ordinance's original effective date to give the city and developers more time to align parking requirements with senior-housing needs and ongoing housing policy discussions. The council did not adopt any amendment to make the change permanent during the June 10 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Yonkers City Council Meeting Tuesday, June 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Yonkers City Council on June 10, 2025, voted unanimously to extend the effective date of General Ordinance 10/2024, which modifies parking requirements for senior-citizen housing, setting the new effective date at June 30, 2026.","taxTitle","Yonkers City, Westchester County, New York","taxId",12533,"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},6192144,"Yonkers council appoints four to Human Rights Commission; two nominees spoke",307,601635,908805,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4131770-cbbfaca47d2a607027cfeaa6e7627a8d&start=601&end=908","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4131770-cbbfaca47d2a607027cfeaa6e7627a8d/thumbnail_601635.jpg","/articles/6192144/Yonkers-City/Westchester-County/New-York/Yonkers-council-appoints-four-to-Human-Rights-Commission-two-nominees-spoke","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6192144-97ac97e79ca45c4e412ce8625bf74621/orig.mp4?Expires=1771198313&Signature=GUosEj-DRxZ5DWvuslwHN~f0z4jzJ~Mbmi6q-7Jkl12BXKPxQDiOebrW~NuzVKt-2mt3zedLk5L-WKBjZ88E1527p~-IKnLc7iXEUYO-9mcPY7atbCkkCBp4mcrI6m-stYxZG7quDvOE7S-r~cDjy6rUfflnWbY-mueULUaEeDsq0kF7Z3FgBdFHfnXW8hQ2eh2MmU4I6jgZ~LZ7rIrg5SgZYEahMFWtLsCd-l8PnsCvkTGhM0JwHRl7ZJjtzcBT2CB6XlgcXhkVSenBB3h730aNsD0a9AzbmQgrfNlLWPD7Ph-xDhPpGhuqMvwU9ic1ui33SxZnDkaHm5pkyOF60Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Yonkers City Council on June 10, 2025, appointed four people to the Yonkers Human Rights Commission, voting 7-0 to confirm nominees Carcina Wong, Matthew Albert, Daisy Cruz and Michael Spano Jr.

Carcina Wong and Matthew Albert were not present at the microphone when the council called their names; both nominations were moved to a vote after council members acknowledged prior interviews and committee consideration. \"This item was introduced by the city council and discussed at the May 20 rules and referred to the May 28 city council agenda,\" the council stated when introducing the appointments.

Daisy Cruz, who spoke in favor of her appointment, described more than 20 years of work in the Latino community and said she has helped domestic-violence survivors and seniors, and does community outreach through television programs. \"I would like to continue, you know, helping them and for them to fight for the rights. And it's an honor for me to be part of the board,\" Cruz said.

Michael Spano Jr., who described himself as holding a master's degree in psychology, told the council he has five years' experience with the Westchester Mobile Crisis Team and with the 988 suicide hotline, and has research training in ethics and psychological research. \"I have a masters in psychology and I have worked for 5 years on the Westchester Mobile Crisis Team, as well as the 988, Suicide Hop team, as well as the 988, suicide hotline,\" Spano said.

Speakers during the public-comment portion described personal experiences with lupus and urged greater local awareness and support. Cheryl Sanchez, who said her daughter was born in Yonkers, thanked the council for the opportunity to speak. \"We appreciate it,\" she told the council as she introduced her daughter.

\"In 2020, I was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease that has no cure,\" Brittany Sanchez said in testimony. \"An autoimmune means that your immune system that's made to protect you against sickness gets confused and attacks your own body instead. In lupus, it can attack any organ system and can affect each person differently.\" Brittany Sanchez also described how lupus and other chronic conditions can be invisible and complicate daily life.

During council discussion, Councilwoman Gennada Isaac said lupus \"affects approximately 1,500,000 Americans\" and noted that the disease is not required to be reported to public-health officials, which complicates tracking and epidemiological study. A commenter who identified as a medical educator urged the public to contact federal lawmakers, warning that cuts to the National Institutes of Health and other agencies could reduce available clinical trials and research funding for lupus, sickle cell and other conditions.

The council closed discussion and adopted the resolution by a recorded vote of 7-0. The resolution is listed on the agenda as item number 12.","The Yonkers City Council unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing Lupus Awareness Month after residents shared personal experiences with the disease and a medical-education commenter urged advocacy against federal research cuts.","actionData","errors"]
