NYC L.L. 1994/003 In relation to access to reproductive health care facilities

L.L. 1994/003 Enactment date: 3/30/1994 Int. No. 33-A By Council Members Eldridge, Marshall, Eisland, Cerullo III, Pinkett, McCaffrey, Linares, Fields, Watkins, Michels, Clarke, McCabe, Pagan, DiBrienza, Albanese, Freed, Duane, Koslowitz, Rivera, White, Warden, Cruz, Eristoff, Berman, Sabini, Fisher, Millard, Weiner, Henry, Leffler and Warden; also Council Members Robinson and the Public Advocate (Mr. Green) A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to access to reproductive health care facilities Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Legislative declaration. The council of the city of New York finds that the right to obtain reproductive health services is an important personal right protected by state and federal law. Likewise, the right to peaceably protest and express one's views is protected by state and federal law. Such actions include, but are not limited to, the right to speak, march, demonstrate, picket, pray, associate with others in expressive behavior or engage in other activity protected by the First Amendment. The council finds that concerns have been raised about individuals or groups of individuals who may exceed the boundaries of lawful First Amendment expression by engaging in activities that physically prevent or otherwise unlawfully intimidate people from entering facilities which provide reproductive health care services. Such activities can impede not only those seeking such services, but affect providers of those services as well. The council therefore finds it appropriate for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, to enact legislation to prohibit interference with access to reproductive health care services, ensure that persons harmed by such conduct can seek redress in the courts, and to permit the city to obtain injunctive relief against such unlawful conduct. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect thirty days after its enactment.

Legislative Intent. The council acknowledges that the city's fiscal 1994 budget contemplates the sale of the right to receive delinquent real estate taxes pursuant to the provisions of Section 99-s, General Municipal Law, which permits the city, acting through its commissioner of finance, to sell any portion of or all its interest in any or all of the city's delinquent real estate tax receivables, pursuant to authorization by the council.

(a) The commissioner of finance is hereby authorized to cause a not-for-profit business trust to be organized under the laws of the state of Delaware ( the "Tax Collections Trust"), for the public purpose of enabling the city to accelerate its receipt of payments on account of delinquent real estate taxes by purchasing, from the city, all or any portion of the city's delinquent real estate taxes in existence as of May 31, 1994, including interest and penalties accrued thereon (the "Receivables") and collections thereon from the date of such sale to no later than the third anniversary of the date of such sale, including the interest and penalties to accrue thereon (the "Collections"), for consideration consisting of (i) immediately available funds as described in Section 3(d) below and (ii) the Ownership Interest (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) (collectively, the "Purchase Price").

Execution of the Declaration of Trust by the commissioner of finance shall be conclusive evidence of such determination. (d) The city shall not receive any payments with respect to the Receivables, the Collections or the Notes, except pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreement (as defined in Section 3(b) below), although, as holder of the Ownership Interest (as defined in the Declaration of Trust), the city shall be entitled to receive distributions by the Trustee from the assets of the Tax Collections Trust. § 3.

(b) In connection with the sale of the Receivables, the commissioner of finance is authorized to execute and deliver the Purchase and Servicing Agreement, between the Tax Collections Trust, as Issuer, and the city, as Seller and Servicer (the "Purchase and Servicing Agreement"), in substantially the form submitted to the speaker of the council, together with such changes not adverse to the city or such other changes as may be necessary to provide for the sale of the Receivables and Collections in the manner contemplated hereby, in each case, as the commissioner of finance may determine are necessary and appropriate.

Confirmation and acceptance of the Underwriting Agreement by the commissioner of finance shall be conclusive evidence of such determination. (d) The commissioner of finance may enter into contractual arrangements with a firm or firms to provide credit support for the Notes, after determining, in conjunction with the determination pursuant to clause (i) of subdivision (f) below, that such credit support is in the best interests of the city. (e) The cash portion of the Purchase Price shall consist of immediately available funds in the amount not lower than $175,000,000 and not higher than $225,000,000. (f) In connection with execution and delivery of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement and the confirmation and acceptance of the Underwriting Agreement, the commissioner of finance shall: (i) evidence his determination that the sale of the Receivables provides maximum available financial benefits consistent with other objectives and requirements of the city and (ii) obtain the state comptroller's approval of the terms and conditions of such sale as required by said Section 10. (g) The cash portion of the Purchase Price shall accrue strictly to the city, and the city's use of such cash portion shall not be restricted by the Tax Collections Trust or the Note Trustee (as defined in Section 4(a) below). (h) The city shall treat the transfer of the Receivables and the Collections to the Tax Collections Trust as a sale pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles.

(k) The city intends that the transfer of the Receivables and the Collections to the Tax Collections Trust, pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreement and this local law, be a sale and not a secured borrowing. (I) The cash portion of the Purchase Price, as payments on account of real estate taxes, shall be deposited and retained in the general debt service fund to the extent required by section 9-a of the New York state financial emergency act for the city New York. § 4.

Further Authorization. The commissioner of finance is hereby authorized to take such other actions, including the execution of certificates, instruments and other documents, as are necessary and appropriate to effectuate the transaction contemplated by this local law. § 6.

NYC L.L. 1994/027 In relation to the interagency coordinating Council

L.L. 1994/027 Enactment date: 7/7/1994 Int. No. 225-A By Council Members Robles, Clarke, Pagan, Warden, Cruz, Malave-Dilan, Robinson, Rosado, Fusco, and Stabile; also Council Member Fields A Local Law to amend the charter of the city of New York, in relation to the interagency coordinating Council Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that the Interagency Coordinating Council ("ICC") has repeatedly failed to fulfill all of its charter-mandated responsibilities, such as compiling an annual breakdown of each member agency's allocations for services to youth during each fiscal year. Although the ICC is required to hold quarterly meetings and one public hearing each year, only two such meetings and no hearings were held in fiscal year 1993. In addition, although the ICC is required to issue a comprehensive annual report in October of each year, the last annual report was issued for fiscal year 1992. The Council finds that the repeated failure of the ICC to meet its charter-mandated requirements has compromised its effectiveness as well as the intent and goals behind its creation. At the same time, however, the Council recognizes the significant potential for cross-agency collaboration that still remains in the structure of the ICC. Such collaboration has the potential to reduce the duplication and fragmentation of service delivery to youth that currently exists among the twenty-four agencies that provide youth-related services, which can result in an integrated, comprehensive and cost-effective youth services system in the City of New York. It is the desire of the Council to make the ICC a more viable and responsive entity that will more fully serve its intended function. Accordingly, this legislation would include a representative of the Council of the City of New York, to be appointed by the Speaker, as a member of the ICC. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

NYC L.L. 1994/035 In relation to determination and comparison of costs and benefits of certain contracted-for services that result in city employee displacement

L.L. 1994/035 Enactment date: 7/19/1994 Int. No. 120-A By Council Members Pinkett, Duane, Fields, Rivera, Williams, Clarke, Henry, Lasher, Ruiz, Spigner and Wooten; also Council Members Cruz, Eldridge, Foster, Marshall, McCaffrey, Michels, Robinson, Linares, Koslowitz, White, Warden, Freed and DiBrienza A Local Law to amend the New York City Charter in relation to determination and comparison of costs and benefits of certain contracted-for services that result in city employee displacement Be it enacted by the Council as follows: Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Findings and Intent. The Council finds that in order to ensure sound procurement practice and the delivery of high quality services in the most cost-efficient manner to New York City residents, it is necessary to require agencies to evaluate the costs and benefits of proposed service contracts valued at more than one hundred thousand dollars that result in displacement of a City employee. Sound procurement practice requires an assessment by the agency of the costs and benefits of providing a service in-house prior to any determination to solicit bids or proposals, a determination of the costs and benefits of providing the same service by contracting-out, and a comparison of the two. This legislation is designed to ensure that a contract is in the best interests of the citizens of the City of New York and its employees. Such legislation is not intended to delay or impede upon the normal contracting process of the City. * * * [Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A] * * * § 3. This local law shall take effect ninety days after it shall have been enacted into law, but shall apply only to solicitations issued after its effective date.
