The Yonkers City Council adopted a resolution urging the President, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives to pursue elimination or reduction of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The item drew a recorded roll call and a split vote on the floor.
During the roll call, Council member Moretti and Minority Leader Breen voted No. Majority Leader (recorded as "Bridal" in one roll-call line) and Council members Benita Isaac and Whit Robinson, along with Council President Collins Bellamy, voted Yes. The clerk announced the item as adopted 4–2.
No substantive debate or explanation for the council’s position on CDBG was recorded on the meeting transcript; the resolution as an expression of council position does not itself change federal funding policy. The transcript does not record any staff presentation or fiscal analysis on municipal impacts of CDBG reduction.
