Yonkers refers local laws on excavation permits and language accessibility to Municipal Operations Committee; calls on Westchester County to require translated
Summary
The rules committee referred local laws on excavation permit expiration and language accessibility of public notices to the Municipal Operations Committee and introduced a resolution urging Westchester County to require translation of zoning public notices.
The rules committee referred several proposed local laws to the Municipal Operations Committee, including an amendment to city code related to expiration of excavation permits (Chapter 56) and two amendments addressing language accessibility of public notices (Chapter 44 and Chapter 43 zoning). The Council President said these items will proceed to the Municipal Operations Committee for further consideration.
Separately, the committee introduced a resolution calling upon Westchester County to approve an amendment to the Yonkers Zoning Code requiring translation of public notices. The Council President framed the measure as a request for the county to act on translation requirements; the rules committee referred the matter to the Municipal Operations Committee for additional work and potential action at the full council meeting.
