Yonkers schedules March 11 public hearing on proposed acquisition of All County Bus leasehold for waterfront park
Summary
On Feb. 25 the Yonkers City Council voted 6-0 to add and schedule a public hearing under the Eminent Domain Procedure Law on a proposed acquisition of a leasehold held by All County Bus LLC at 76 From Brook Street for development of a waterfront park; the hearing is set for March 11 at 6:30 p.m.
The Yonkers City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 25 to schedule a public hearing under the Eminent Domain Procedure Law on a proposed acquisition of a leasehold interest held by All County Bus LLC at 76 From Brook Street (Section 1, Block 615, Lot 1) for the stated purpose of developing a waterfront park.
Majority Leader Rubo moved to schedule and conduct the public hearing in accordance with the Eminent Domain Procedure Law; the motion was seconded and the council voted by roll call to add the item to the agenda and to schedule the hearing. The deputy clerk recorded the vote as "Adopted 6 to 0." The council recorded the hearing date and time as Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council chambers.
Council minutes show the motion to add the public hearing to the agenda passed by a 6-0 vote before the council then voted to hold the hearing at the stated date and time. The motion text in the record described the property as a portion of Section 1, Block 615, Lot 1 on the City's official tax map and identified the leasehold holder as All County Bus LLC.
The scheduling creates a formal public hearing in the eminent-domain process; the transcript does not record council action beyond scheduling the hearing, nor does it record any compensation estimates, appraisal figures or a staff report describing next steps. The record indicates the hearing will be held in this chamber and that notices and additional procedural materials are expected to be handled according to the Eminent Domain Procedure Law and the council's customary public-notice practices.
