Peters said the proposal grew from conversations that began in February and from consultations with the Boys and Girls Club executive director and community members. \"One of the concerns that emerged initially was ... operating cost,\" Peters said, and the current document aims to couple any financial commitment with measurable outcomes. He said the draft identifies five priority areas: transportation to the clubhouses, a healthy-snack program, annual membership scholarships, team programming and expanded community access to the Remington facility.

Staff and presenters noted transportation gaps tied to school-district bus eligibility. Todd, identified in the meeting as a staff presenter, explained that the district provides transportation from elementary schools to clubhouses only if a school is located more than 1.5 miles from a clubhouse. Todd said some elementary and middle schools lack direct bus service to Remington and that middle-school transportation uses a different contractor that does not route students to the West End where Remington is located.

Cost estimates presented to the council included per-hour facility rental rates used by the club (for example, $150 an hour for sports-team practice in the gym, $125 an hour for meeting rooms, $225 an hour for adult parties and $100 an hour for a green room) and program-level totals. Peters said the document lists a $195,300 figure for a subset of outcomes and a $2,201,100 annual cost for the \"complete package.\" The council member framed the city’s possible contribution as a targeted investment to increase access for children and families who cannot pay membership or rental fees.

Council members pressed for more detail. Council member Tarantino questioned the transportation assumptions, asking how the city would ensure efficient use of buses and whether the proposal overestimated daily ridership: \"How do you determine if it's worthwhile to have 4 buses ... because you're gonna have that constant variation,\" Tarantino said, urging data on usage and administration. Tarantino also requested clarity on eligibility and process for subsidized community access and asked how the city would prevent the subsidy from being captured by groups that already can pay.

Other council members raised implementation and budget-timing questions. The city manager said staff would seek a more detailed, itemized proposal from the Boys and Girls Club and draft an agreement that spells out deliverables, required documentation, reimbursement procedures and administrative costs (staff estimated an additional 5–10 percent administrative load could apply). The manager also said any allocation would be considered during the 2026 budget process; there was no vote to appropriate funds on Sept. 16.

Next steps: Staff will request a formal, detailed proposal from the Boys and Girls Club that itemizes costs and deliverables for each component (transportation, snacks, scholarships, team programming, community access) and will prepare a draft agreement for council review. The council asked that the proposal be returned and that staff provide additional data on administration, utilization projections, criteria for scholarships and community access, and existing city funding to the clubs.

No formal council action or appropriation occurred at the Sept. 16 meeting; the item remained a discussion and will return with a written proposal and draft agreement for review before the 2026 budget process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New Rochelle - City Council Meeting - RLM","oneSentenceSummary","Council member David Peters presented a proposal to expand transportation, scholarships, healthy snacks and community access at the Remington Boys and Girls Club.

Council members also amended the proposed good-cause eviction local law and set a public hearing for Oct. 15, 2025.

The pipeline-resolution — described in the meeting as opposition to Enbridge’s Algonquin expansion project — passed on a roll-call vote, 6-1. Mayor Ramos Herbert and council members voted in favor; Council member Tarantino voted no. Other items were adopted by voice vote or unanimous consent as recorded by the clerk.

Why it matters: The pipeline vote was the only item decided by roll call and appeared to be the most contentious formal action on the agenda. The rest of the measures implement routine municipal business (personnel title change, local parking regulation, submission of grant applications and the annual PHA plan) or advance local legislation (good-cause eviction) toward further public review.

Major actions and outcomes:

- Resolution opposing pipeline expansion (item 9): The council recorded a roll-call vote opposing Enbridge’s Algonquin pipeline expansion project as presented on the agenda; the clerk recorded six yes votes and one no vote. The resolution was adopted.

- 2025 budget amendment: The council voted to adopt an amendment to reclassify a position title in the Department of Public Works engineering bureau — deactivating the “junior civil engineer” title and activating “junior engineer” for recruitment flexibility. The item was adopted by voice vote; staff said the change carries no salary or grade impact.

- Local law establishing active-duty and veteran parking (item 11): The council adopted the proposed local law following a public hearing held Sept. 9. Adoption was by voice vote.

- 2026 annual PHA plan for the Section 8 housing choice voucher program (item 12): The council approved submission of the 2026 PHA plan; the item was adopted by voice vote.

- Grant application authorization (item 13): The council authorized submission of a grant application to the Westchester County Complete Streets Municipal Assistance Program for the Quaker Bridge Road Complete Streets Project; adopted by voice vote.

- Good-cause eviction local law (items 14 and 15): The council approved a friendly amendment to the local law’s definition of “small landlord” to read “a landlord of no more than 1 unit anywhere in the state of New York” and set a public hearing on the revised local law for Oct. 15, 2025. The amendment and the resolution setting the hearing were adopted by voice vote.

Council procedure and next steps: Most items were handled on the consent or regular agenda and passed with voice votes; the pipeline resolution was the only item requiring a roll-call. The council concluded formal voting on these matters and moved to a closed executive session for personnel and real estate matters without returning to open session.

Votes at a glance (selected recorded roll call):
\"Resolution opposing Enbridge Algonquin pipeline expansion\" — Yes: Mayor Ramos Herbert; Council member Lopez; Council member Peters; Council member Asen Loye (recorded as yes in roll call); Council member Kaye; Council member Stern. No: Council member Tarantino. Outcome: adopted (6–1).","At its Sept. 16 meeting, the New Rochelle City Council adopted a roll-call resolution opposing an Enbridge pipeline expansion and approved a series of budget and policy items by voice vote, while setting a public hearing on a proposed good-cause eviction local law.","actionData","errors"]
