NYC L.L. 2001/001 To amend the administrative code of the city of New York, to prohibit employment discrimination against victims of domestic violence

L.L. 2001/001 Enactment date: 1/5/2001 Int. No. 400-A By The Public Advocate (Mr. Green) and the Speaker (Council Member Vallone) and Council Members Eldridge, DiBrienza, Leffler, Cruz, Boyland, Marshall, Robinson, Freed, Henry, Linares, Lopez, Perkins, Pinkett and Reed; also Council Members Carrion, Clarke, Eisland, Fisher, Foster, Koslowitz, Michels, Miller, Quinn, Rivera and Sabini. A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, to prohibit employment discrimination against victims of domestic violence. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The City Council finds and declares that domestic violence is a widely recognized problem in New York City. Indeed, New York City Police Department statistics indicate that although the overall crime rate has decreased in recent years, incidents of domestic violence have increased. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of domestic violence on the work lives of victims and on the City economy as a whole. In recent years, a growing body of evidence has documented the devastating impact of domestic violence on the ability of victims - over 90% of whom are women - to participate fully in the economy. Yet a victim's capacity to escape an abusive relationship is dependent in large part on economic factors such as finding and keeping a job and gaining economic security and independence. One study found that over one half of women surveyed who were victims of domestic violence stayed with their abusers because they lacked alternative resources with which to support themselves and their children. Other studies have determined that between twenty-four and fifty-two percent of battered women surveyed had lost their jobs at least in part due to domestic violence, which included harassment by the batterers both on and off the job. Employers are also affected by domestic violence. It has been estimated that absenteeism caused by domestic violence costs the nation's employers between three and five billion dollars annually. In a survey conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide for the Women's Work Program at Liz Claiborne, Inc., forty percent of the senior executives at Fortune 1000 companies surveyed reported that domestic violence had a harmful effect on their company's productivity, and sixty-six percent believed that their company's financial performance would benefit by addressing the issue. In response, several corporations have established policies and programs to assist employees struggling with domestic violence, and the State of New York has enacted legislation that established an executive office to develop model domestic violence policies for counties, state agencies and private employers, as well as an advisory council to develop strategies for domestic violence prevention. (N.Y. Exec. Law § 575). Further, the State of Maine has enacted legislation requiring employers to provide unpaid leaves of absence to victims of domestic violence, and similar legislation has been enacted in the City of Miami and is pending in the State of Pennsylvania. Because they are embarrassed or because they fear losing their jobs, victims are often reticent about informing their employers about incidents of domestic violence or about requesting simple accommodations that might assist them in fulfilling their job duties. A growing body of anecdotal evidence suggests that the fear of negative employment actions such as demotion, suspension, loss of pay and/or benefits or termination against employees who have revealed that they are victims of domestic violence is not unwarranted. For example, victims of domestic violence have been terminated or demoted after requesting simple protective measures such as time off or flexible hours to confer with an attorney or a domestic violence counselor, obtain an order of protection or obtain medical or other services for themselves or family members. The City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the City of New York to protect the economic viability of victims of domestic violence and to support their efforts to gain independence from their abusers. Victims of domestic violence who are receiving medical treatment or therapy for the physical and/or psychological effects of domestic violence may be covered under the disability provisions of sections 8-102(16) and 8-107 of the Human Rights Law. However, not all victims of domestic violence need or obtain such treatment and would therefore not be considered disabled. Further, many victims of domestic violence do not consider themselves disabled. Accordingly, the Council further finds that in order to enable victims of domestic violence to speak with their employers without fear of reprisal, about a domestic violence incident or about possible steps that will enhance their ability to perform their job without causing undue hardship to the employer, the Human Rights Law should be amended to provide employment discrimination protection for New Yorkers who are actual or perceived victims of domestic violence. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

No. 809-A A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the regulation of outdoor advertising and repealing subdivision 10 of section 26-126.4 of such code in relation thereto Be it enacted by the Council as follows: * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 5. The initial application for registration of an outdoor advertising company pursuant to section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, shall include report to the department of buildings identifying: (a) all signs and supporting structures therefor and (b) all sign locations that are under the control of such outdoor advertising company and located in: (i) zoning districts in which signs for advertising purposes are not permitted; (ii) areas within a distance of two hundred linear feet from and within view of an arterial highway, as such term is defined under subdivision c of section 26-253 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law; and (iii) areas within a distance of two hundred linear feet from and within view of a public park with an area of one half acre or more. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, the commissioner of buildings shall refuse to accept and may return the initial application for registration of an outdoor advertising company: (i) where such business fails to submit the report required by this section; or (ii) the commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that such report contains an incomplete or inaccurate listing of signs or sign locations which are required to be included therein. In the event a company whose initial application for registration has been rejected by the commissioner of buildings pursuant to this subdivision fails thereafter to submit a report acceptable to the commissioner within a time frame specified by the department of buildings, and the commissioner, after notice and opportunity to be heard, affirms his or her determination that such company has not satisfied the requirements of this section, then such outdoor advertising company shall be deemed in violation of subdivision a of section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, and shall be subject to all provisions of section 26-262 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, which apply to an outdoor advertising company which has not registered with the department of buildings. The department shall revoke the registration of an outdoor advertising company if it is subsequently determined by the commissioner, after notice and opportunity to be heard, that such company has filed an incomplete or inaccurate listing of signs which are required to be included in the report provided for under this section, and such company knew or should have known that the listing was incomplete or inaccurate. Notwithstanding the provisions of section six hundred sixty six of the charter, such determinations by the commissioner shall not be subject to review by the board of standards and appeals. The commissioner shall make all reports filed pursuant to this section accessible to the public. § 6. (a) In addition to the report described in section 5 of this local law, an outdoor advertising company may elect to include in its initial application for registration pursuant to section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, a compliance plan, prepared in such form and according to such standards as shall be specified by rules of the department of buildings with regard to such plans and amendments thereto, which plan shall include a schedule for the permanent removal of all signs and any supporting structures therefor which were installed, erected, attached, affixed, painted on, or in any other manner represented on a building or premises prior to December 22, 2000 which are identified in the report submitted pursuant to section 5 of this local law. Such removal shall take place within three annual periods following the commissioner's acceptance of the compliance plan, based on his or her determination that such plan satisfies all requirements of this section. The removal schedule included with such compliance plan shall provide for the removal of equal numbers of signs and any supporting structures therefor during the course of each of such three annual periods, at regular intervals within such annual periods as specified by rule of the department. Such compliance plan shall not include signs which have legal non-conforming use status pursuant to the zoning resolution, provided the outdoor advertising company provides evidence of such status in a form satisfactory to the commissioner. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary of subdivision a of section 26-261 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, an outdoor advertising company shall not be required to submit a certification pursuant to such subdivision with respect to signs included in the compliance plan provided that the sign is in compliance with the schedule for its removal pursuant to such plan. (b) For each sign and any supporting structure therefor included in a compliance plan, the outdoor advertising company shall submit to the department of buildings as part of such compliance plan an instrument, in a form satisfactory to the commissioner of buildings, executed by all persons parties or entities to whom notice is required to be given pursuant to subdivision b of section 26-127.3 of the administrative code, as added by section 2 of this local law, and binding upon all successors and assigns, consenting to: (i) removal of such sign and any supporting structure therefor in accordance with the schedule for removal set forth in the compliance plan; and (ii) entry by the commissioner, police officers, and authorized representatives of the department upon the building or premises on which the sign and any supporting structure therefor is located for purposes of removal of such sign and any supporting structure therefor by the city, without further proceedings, in the event that such sign and any supporting structure is not removed in accordance with the schedule included in such compliance plan. Such instrument shall be filed and recorded with the clerk or register of the county in which the sign is located. (c) As part of a compliance plan, the outdoor advertising company shall also post a bond to the city, with a surety approved by the department, in an amount to be determined by the department by rule based on the number, size and other features of signs and any supporting structures therefor identified in the compliance plan. The bond shall be conditioned such that the obligor will pay all costs incurred by the city with respect to the removal of such signs and any supporting structures therefor in accordance with the consents set forth in instruments filed with respect to such signs pursuant to paragraph b of this section. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect the obligation of an outdoor advertising company to post a bond pursuant to subdivision c of section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, with respect to signs not eligible for inclusion in the compliance plan. (d) The commissioner shall refuse to accept and may return a compliance plan submitted pursuant to this section where he or she determines that it does not satisfy the requirements of this section and rules promulgated pursuant thereto. In the event a company whose initial compliance plan has been rejected by the commissioner of buildings pursuant to this subdivision fails thereafter to submit a compliance plan acceptable to the commissioner within a time frame specified by the department of buildings, and the commissioner, after notice and opportunity to be heard, affirms his or her determination that such company has not satisfied the requirements of this section, then such outdoor advertising company shall be deemed subject to section 7 of this local law. Notwithstanding the provisions of section six hundred sixty-six of the charter, such determination shall not be subject to review by the board of standards and appeals. (e) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary of section 26-262 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, where a sign and any sign structure therefor is included in a compliance plan accepted by the commissioner, no civil penalties or criminal fines and/or imprisonment may be imposed with respect to such sign upon an outdoor advertising company or other party for any violations of the zoning resolution, the administrative code or rules adopted pursuant thereto (except for violations which involve the creation or maintenance of a hazardous condition), nor shall the commissioner of buildings seek the removal of such sign pursuant to section 26-127.3 of the administrative code, as added by section 2 of this local law; provided, however, that: (i) the outdoor advertising company is in compliance with the schedule for removal of such sign and any supporting structure therefor set forth in the compliance plan; and (ii) the size, height or degree of projection of such sign and any supporting structure therefor has not been increased or enlarged after December 22, 2000. Upon acceptance of a compliance plan pursuant to this section, the commissioner of buildings shall discontinue any administrative, judicial or other enforcement proceedings pending as of such date with respect to such sign (other than collection activities with respect to previously adjudicated violations), unless the commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that the size, height or degree of projection of such sign and any supporting structure therefor has been increased or enlarged after December 22, 2000. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the imposition of civil penalties or criminal fines and/or imprisonment upon an outdoor advertising company or other party for violations of the zoning resolution, the administrative code or rules adopted pursuant thereto, with respect to signs which are not eligible for inclusion in a compliance plan submitted pursuant to this section. (f) The provisions of section 26-253 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, shall not apply to a sign under the control of an outdoor advertising company which is included in a compliance plan accepted by the commissioner, provided that the outdoor advertising company is in compliance with the schedule for removal of such sign and any supporting structure set forth in the compliance plan. (g) The sale, lease, or other transfer of control of a sign, and any supporting structure therefor identified in a compliance plan shall not affect the schedule for the removal of such sign and any supporting structure in accordance with the schedule included in the compliance plan, and any outdoor advertising company which assumes control of such sign and any sign structure shall be responsible for compliance with the terms of the compliance plan with respect thereto. In the event an outdoor advertising company which has submitted a compliance plan pursuant to this section assumes control of a sign and any supporting structure therefor required to be included in the report provided for under section 5 of this local law but not previously included in a compliance plan, such company shall amend its compliance plan to include such sign and supporting structure in the plan, in accordance with rules of the department. (h) In the event a sign and any supporting structure therefor is not removed in accordance with the schedule included within a compliance plan, or in the event the registration of the outdoor advertising company which submitted such compliance plan is revoked pursuant to subdivision i of this section, the commissioner shall, in addition to or in lieu of seeking any and all remedies provided for under this local law, be authorized to remove such sign and any supporting structure therefor in accordance with the consents set forth in the instrument filed with respect to such sign pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section. (i) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary of subdivision d of section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law, in the event that an outdoor advertising company has failed to remove all signs and any supporting structures therefor in accordance with the compliance plan by the end of any of the three annual periods following the commissioner's acceptance of the compliance plan, registration of such company shall be subject to revocation. (j) The commissioner shall make all compliance plans filed pursuant to this section accessible to the public. § 7. An outdoor advertising company which does not submit a compliance plan pursuant to section 6 of this local law shall be subject to all criminal, civil and other remedies provided for in this local law for any violation of the zoning resolution or the administrative code or rules adopted pursuant thereto with respect to signs under its control, without limitation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of subdivision d of section 26-260 of the administrative code, as added by this local law, relating to the circumstances under which the commissioner is authorized to revoke the registration of an outdoor advertising company, the commissioner of buildings shall, after notice and opportunity to be heard, revoke the registration of any such outdoor advertising company where such company has been found liable on three or more occasions by the environmental control board or a court of competent jurisdiction for violations of the zoning resolution or the administrative code or rules adopted pursuant thereto with respect to signs under its control identified in the report submitted by such outdoor advertising company pursuant to section 5 of this local law, on the basis that such signs are advertising signs, as defined in section 12-10 of the zoning resolution, which are located in: (i) zoning districts in which signs for advertising purposes are not permitted; (ii) areas within a distance of two hundred linear feet and within view of an arterial highway, as such term is defined under subdivision c of section 26-253 of the administrative code, as added by section 3 of this local law; or (iii) areas within a distance of two hundred linear feet from and within view of a public park with an area of one half acre or more. § 8. All terms as used in sections 5, 6 and 7 of this local law shall be as defined in subchapter four of chapter one of title twenty-six of the administrative code, as added by this local law. The commissioner of buildings shall promulgate rules as necessary for the administration and implementation of sections 5, 6 and 7 of this local law. § 9. Severability. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part of this local law or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall for any reason be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of this local law or the application thereof to other persons or circumstances, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered and to the person or circumstance involved. § 10. This local law shall take effect ninety days after it shall have been enacted into law provided that the department may promulgate rules or take any administrative actions to implement its provisions prior to such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2001/017 In relation to banning gauges that use mercury to test gas piping, drainage and vent systems and banning the sale of such mercury gauges and replacement mercury

L.L. 2001/017 Enactment date: 3/30/2001 Int. No. 832-A By Council Members Spigner, Carrion, Harrison, Lopez, Marshall, Eisland, Michels, Malavé-Dilán, Warden, Provenzano, Nelson, Linares and Stabile A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to banning gauges that use mercury to test gas piping, drainage and vent systems and banning the sale of such mercury gauges and replacement mercury. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that there are accurate gauges currently available to test gas piping systems, as well as drainage and vent systems, that do not use mercury. The Council further finds that when mercury is used in gauges it has been known to escape the gauge and cause contamination of the surrounding area. Mercury that has spilled and not been adequately cleaned up can have adverse effects on the inhabitants of buildings. As there are now viable alternatives to gauges that use mercury, and the risk of mercury contamination can be eliminated by banning its use for this purpose, the Council finds there is a compelling reason to ban the use of gauges that utilize mercury for gas pipe testing and to eliminate the use of such gauges for the testing of drainage and vent systems. Further, the Council finds that consistent with this ban on the use, is a ban on the sale, of gauges that utilize mercury for gas pipe testing and on the sale of replacement mercury for these gauges. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 7. This local law shall take effect one hundred and eighty days after its enactment into law, except that section six shall take effect immediately, provided, however, that the commissioner of buildings and the commissioner of consumer affairs may promulgate any rules and take all other actions necessary to implement sections one through five of this local law on or before their effective date.

NYC L.L. 2001/018 In relation to collective bargaining involving the uniformed forces in the city of New York

L.L. 2001/018 Enactment date: 4/25/2001 Int. No. 640 By Council Members McCaffrey, Warden, Eisland, Berman, Cruz, Dear, Malave-Dilan, Espada, Foster, Freed, Henry, Lopez, Marshall, Michels, Miller, Nelson, Rodriguez, Wooten, Robles, Eldridge, Fiala, Golden, Stabile and Oddo; also Council Members DiBrienza, Fisher, Koslowitz, Leffler, Reed, Spigner, Linares, O'Donovan, Provenzano, Sabini, Lasher, Rivera, Robinson Abel and Ognibene. A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to collective bargaining involving the uniformed forces in the city of New York. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. The Council finds that employees working for the fire department of the city of New York ("FDNY") as fire alarm dispatchers and supervisors of fire alarm dispatchers have certain terms and conditions of employment similar to those of the uniformed services of the city of New York, including police, fire, sanitation and correction services. These terms and conditions of employment raise issues, which are materially different than the issues affecting non-uniformed city employees. Furthermore, the Council recognizes that uniformed forces in the police, fire, sanitation and correction departments have certain unique bargaining rights under the New York City Collective Bargaining Law. The Council intends by this amendment to the administrative code that those individuals employed by the FDNY as fire alarm dispatchers and supervisors of fire alarm dispatchers be accorded the same unique bargaining rights as the uniformed forces of the City. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to collective bargaining involving the uniformed forces in the city of New York. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. The Council finds that employees working for the fire department of the city of New York ("FDNY") as emergency medical technicians ("EMT's"), advanced emergency medical technicians ("paramedics") and the supervisors of EMT's or paramedics have certain terms and conditions of employment similar to those of the uniformed services of the city of New York, including police, fire, sanitation and correction services. These terms and conditions of employment raise issues, which are materially different than the issues affecting non-uniformed city employees. Furthermore, the Council recognizes that uniformed forces in the police, fire, sanitation and correction departments have certain unique bargaining rights under the New York City Collective Bargaining Law.

NYC L.L. 2001/020 In relation to the procurement of apparel and textile services by city agencies

L.L. 2001/020 Enactment date: 4/25/2001 Int. No. 693-A By: the Speaker (Council Member Vallone) and Council Members Freed, Fisher, McCaffrey, Quinn, Linares, O'Donovan, Marshall, Berman, Pinkett, Spigner, Carrion, Dear, Malave-Dilan, Eisland, Henry, Lasher, Lopez, Perkins, Reed, Cruz, Robles and The Public Advocate (Mr. Green); also Council Members DiBrienza, Foster, Harrison, Leffler, Koslowitz, Michels, Povman, Sabini, Eldridge, Nelson, Miller, Robinson, Provenzano, Boyland, Nelson, Watkins, Warden, White, Rivera, Espada, Rodriguez and Rivera A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the procurement of apparel and textile services by city agencies. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Findings and Intent. The Council of the City of New York finds that it is in the City's best interest to procure items of apparel and textiles from responsible contractors that provide quality and service at the lowest responsible price and provide a safe work environment for their employees. The Council finds that, after almost a century of progress in the struggle against sweatshops in the apparel and textile sectors, there has been a recent resurgence of such exploitative and abusive workplaces in New York, the United States, and around the world. The City should not spend its citizens' money in ways that shock the conscience of a vast majority. Acting with the discretion allowed any private participant in the market, the City should choose to allocate its purchasing dollars in order to enhance, rather than degrade, the economic and social wellbeing of people, while at the same time assure the public that the City is acquiring the maximum quality for the lowest possible cost. Furthermore, it is essential to the public interest that the City require manufacturers, who contract to provide the City with apparel and textile goods, to submit information necessary for the determination of responsibility. Accordingly, the Council finds that it is in the best interests of the city of New York to procure apparel and textile goods from responsible contractors and subcontractors that provide a safe, non-discriminatory work environment and compensate their employees with a non-poverty wage. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect 270 days after its enactment, provided, however, that any rules consistent with this local law and necessary to its implementation may be promulgated prior to such effective date.

NYC L.L. 2001/021 In relation to campaign financing

L.L. 2001/021 Enactment date: 4/25/2001 Int. No. 879 By the Speaker (Council Member Vallone) and Council Members Pinkett, Carrion, Henry, Marshall, Miller, Moskowitz, Nelson, Perkins, Reed, Warden, White, DiBrienza, Freed, Malave-Dilan and The Public Advocate (Mr.Green); also Council Members Leffler, Robinson, Rodriguez, Lasher and Rivera A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to campaign financing. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings. In October 1998, the Council enacted Local Law 48, which, among other provisions, provided that participating candidates in the City's campaign finance program who do not accept corporate contributions receive payment for qualified campaign expenditures of four dollars for every one dollar of matchable contributions. For candidates choosing to take corporate contributions, Local Law 48 provided that they would receive the previous matching rate of one-to-one. Subsequent to the Council passing Local Law 48, amendments to the Charter were approved by the voters through a referendum in the November 1998 election. These amendments included a ban on corporate contributions for all participating candidates, thereby making all participating candidates eligible for matching public funds at a rate of four-to-one pursuant to the unamended provisions of Local Law 48. See Charter § 1052(a)(12). Accordingly, during the 1999 election cycle, the Campaign Finance Board distributed matching public funds to participating candidates at a rate of four-to-one. Understandably, participating candidates and prospective participating candidates have anticipated four-to-one matching funds, relying on the unamended provisions of Local Law 48, pronouncements made by the Campaign Finance Board (See, e.g. Advisory Opinion No. 1998-2), and the Board's distribution of funds during the 1999 elections. Recently, however, and notwithstanding Local Law 48 and the Campaign Finance Board's pronouncements and participating candidates' reliance thereon, the Director of Management and Budget and the Commissioner of Finance filed a complaint in Supreme Court, New York County, against the Campaign Finance Board (City of New York v. New York City Campaign Finance Board), claiming that the four-to-one provisions of Local Law 48 were invalidated by the Charter prohibition on corporate contributions adopted by the voters in the 1998 referendum. Failing to understand that the ban on corporate contributions continued to trigger the four-to-one provisions of Local Law 48 for all participating candidates, the complaint alleges that participating candidates are only entitled to a one-to-one match of public funds. The Council, therefore, enacts this legislation to allay any confusion created by the above lawsuit, as well as by an opinion of the New York City Corporation Counsel's Office, dated December 29, 1998, which concluded that the 1998 Charter amendments required that the matching rate reverts back to the rate that existed prior to the enactment of Local Law 48. The Council finds plaintiffs' position in City of New York v. New York City Campaign Finance Board and Corporation Counsel's opinion to be contrary to the clear meaning of the Campaign Finance Act. By generating an atmosphere of confusion, prospective participating candidates in the upcoming election cycle may not have full confidence that they can predict the level of funds available for their campaigns or that they will have the requisite financing to even attempt campaigning for elected office. Any confusion and unpredictability created by the lawsuit and by Corporation Counsel's opinion undermines the integrity of the Campaign Finance Act. Furthermore, Corporation Counsel's opinion runs contrary to Advisory Opinion No. 1998-2 of the Campaign Finance Board, dated October 23, 1998, which held that "the Charter amendment would trigger the 4:1 matching rate for all participating candidates". Indeed it would be illogical to conclude that the Charter proposal to mandate the burden of a corporate ban would also effectively withdraw financial incentives and off-sets the Council has devised for promoting Program participation." The Council enacts these technical amendments to Section 3-703 ("Eligibility and other requirements"), 3-705 ("Optional public financing") and 3-706 ("Expenditure limitations; additional financing and limits") in order to reaffirm the existing legal requirements of Local Law 48 providing matching funds at a rate of four-to-one, thereby maintaining the integrity of the campaign finance program. The four-to-one matching rate set forth in Local Law 48 provides a greater level of matching funds for small contributors, enhances the opportunity for candidates who do not have access to large contributors, and increases the role of New York City residents' contributions and public matching funds on the total financing of candidates. The four-to-one matching rate also assures that candidates who give up the opportunity to accept corporate contributions by joining the campaign finance program will receive financial support sufficient to generate and sustain a robust campaign. In addition, these technical amendments reaffirm that participating candidates campaigning against a candidate who is not a participant in the campaign finance program receive a five-to-one match. The four-to-one and five-to-one rates compensate for the lost funds that participating candidates may have raised from corporate contributions had they not joined the Campaign Finance Program. Such compensation furthers a salient goal of the Campaign Finance Act, which is to encourage participation in a fair and comprehensive program of campaign finance reform. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 6. This local law shall be effective as of January 1, 1999

No. 900-A By Council Members Cruz and Marshall; also Council Member Warden A Local Law to amend the New York City charter, in relation to the fees to be paid to the impartial members of the board of collective bargaining other than the director.

L.L. 2001/044 Enactment date: 7/16/2001 Int. No. 802 By Council Members Spigner, Berman, Malave-Dilan, Eisland, Fisher, Freed, Koslowitz, Marshall, McCaffrey, Michels, Miller, Nelson, Povman, Quinn, Warden, Wooten, Golden and Stabile; also Council Members Carrion, Dear, Harrison, Leffler and O'Donovan A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to granting J-51 tax benefits for the installation of submetering systems for cooperatives and condominiums. Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the mechanisms available for conserving energy have changed in the last decade. In the past, conservation efforts consisted of trying to reduce the amount of energy used. Toward this end we provided tax benefits to master metered buildings, buildings where there was a single meter for the whole building, to install separate meters for each unit, called submetering, thus encouraging individuals to become conscience of their energy use and reduce their electrical consumption. Recently, discussions of energy conservation have changed from exclusively trying to reduce overall use, to also trying to shift use patterns from peak use to off-peak use. This reduction is a valuable energy conservation measure in that by reducing peak consumption the worst energy plants can eventually be retired and the most expensive and dirty energy can be avoided. An effective tool in the reduction in peak use is a pricing tool based on charging the most for electricity used during peak periods. Buildings that are master metered, where there is one meter for the entire building for which a utility company bills the building, pay for their electricity based on this model of billing, by time of use. In buildings where each apartment is separately metered and billed by the utility, called direct metering, the price is based exclusively on the overall amount of electricity used, not when it is used. The Council finds that changing from a system of direct metering, to a system where the electricity is charged based on time of use (demand) is a useful conversion for the purposes of conservation where strong tenant organizations are in place to monitor demand, educate and work with tenants to reduce demand during peak periods. Toward this end, the Council further finds that the City has a compelling interest in supporting buildings with strong tenant organizations to convert to submetered systems. For the purposes of this section the Council finds that cooperatives and condominiums have the greatest likelihood of having the type of tenant organizations that would allow them to utilize this new technology to reduce peak demand. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local shall take effect immediately.
