Commissioner recuses on one variance; Commission votes on item separately
Summary
A commissioner said they would recuse from item f of the variance package. The Commission approved the remaining items in the package and then moved, seconded and approved item f in a separate vote.
During consideration of the batch variance package, one commissioner interrupted with a recusal: “I I have a question, which is, I would have to recuse on number f.” Commissioners agreed to remove item f from the initial motion, carry the remainder of the package, then return to consider item f separately.
After removing item f from the group motion, the Commission made and seconded a separate motion on item f and approved it by voice vote. The transcript does not specify the full identifying text for item f at the moment of the separate motion; earlier in the package item f was listed as the New York City Police Department but the later motion transcript refers to the mover’s recusal and a separate motion for “f.” Because the transcript is inconsistent on labeling, the article reports only that item f was taken up and approved separately.
