Commission approves opening of new housing area at Arnold Center, increasing capacity by 12 beds
Summary
The commission approved a revision for the New York City Department of Corrections' Florida Arnold Center to open a renovated housing area (1D), increasing capacity by 12 beds to a reported total of 1,012 beds. The change was presented by Toby and approved by voice vote.
Toby, the company supervisor, told the Commission that the New York City Department of Corrections' Florida Arnold Center MFC revision "reflects the opening of a new housing area, 1 D, with the completed renovations," and that the change "results in an increase of 12 beds" for a new total capacity of 1,012 beds. Commissioners did not ask follow-up questions during the presentation.
The chairman called for a motion after the presentation; a motion and second were recorded and members indicated approval by voice. The transcript records one member saying "I'll take it" during the motion exchange; the record does not identify who moved or seconded formally, nor does it include a roll-call tally.
The transcript contains no explicit budget, staffing, or timetable details for implementing the new housing area. The commission's public record shows administrative approval during the meeting, with no conditions or supplementary reporting requirements recorded in the transcript.
