A one‑page roundup of the council's formal actions on Sept. 30: the conveyance of former Public School 12 to Dar Holdings (local law adopted 6–1), several unanimous proclamations, two board appointments, a CHIPS grant acceptance, and an intermunicipal camera integration agreement with Bronxville.
The Yonkers City Council took final action on 13 items during its Sept. 30, 2025 meeting. Key outcomes:
• School 12 conveyance (Item 1): Local law authorizing conveyance of former Public School 12 (164 Ashburton Ave.) to Dar Holdings 164 LLC for redevelopment as residential housing — adopted 6–1 (Councilman Moranti voted no). A SEQRA determination related to the sale was taken earlier in the meeting and the transcript indicates it was adopted.

• Bronxville Aware integration (Item 3): Resolution approving an agreement to integrate Bronxville cameras and license-plate readers into Yonkers' Aware software — adopted unanimously.
• Traffic signal request (Item 4): Resolution requesting NYSDOT permit and coverage of cost to install a signal at Nepprahan and Axminster Streets — adopted unanimously.
• Appointments (Items 6 and 7): Linda Liberator appointed to the Planning Board (term to 12/31/2027) and Erwin Vasquez appointed to the Parks, Recreation and Conservation Board (term to 12/31/2027) — both adopted unanimously.
• Proclamations (Items 8–13): The council proclaimed October 2025 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Disability Employment Awareness Month, LGBTQ+ History Month, Italian American Heritage Month, and designated Oct. 6, 2025 as World Cerebral Palsy Day — all adopted unanimously.
Several items drew public comment, notably the School 12 sale, where a resident questioned the proposed sale price relative to assessed value and council members debated rehabilitation vs. demolition and the need for additional vetting of the buyer.
