Council adopts emergency IT contract, affirms clerk appointment and approves water‑connection easements

Brooklyn City Council unanimously adopted three resolutions on emergency suspension tonight as the administration sought expedited authority to meet operational and construction timelines.

Resolution 2026-10 authorized the mayor to enter into an information-technology support and services agreement. Council discussed the contract in closed form (the resolution was heavily redacted, citing revised code 9.64 cybersecurity provisions) and voted to suspend the rules and adopt the measure unanimously by roll call.

Resolution 2026-11 affirmed the appointment of Michelle Bronowski as clerk of council. Council amended the resolution to insert Bronowski's name into the blank spaces, then suspended the rules and adopted the amended resolution by unanimous roll call votes.

Resolution 2026-12 authorized the mayor to accept water-connection easements from Brooklyn Rabbit Run LLC for development parcels on Memphis Avenue (permanent parcel numbers 432-21-074 Memphis South and 431-22-109 Memphis East). Council approved the easements under suspension and adopted the resolution unanimously, noting construction on the sites is already underway and the developer requested prompt easement recording.

Other legislative items were left on second reading: three TIF ordinances (Ordinances 2025-27, 2025-28, 2025-29) were deferred to the March 23 meeting; Resolutions 2026-07 (NOPEC grant acceptance) and 2026-09 (purchase of 10300 Brook Park Road, parcel 433-17-014) also remained on second reading.
