A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to posting beach inspection results, and to repeal section 18-131 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as enacted by local law number 14 for the year 1991.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. As a way to increase public awareness of beach and park cleanliness and to ensure greater transparency and accountability in government, the Council finds that the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) ought to publish inspection data for parks and beaches on its official website. Bathing beach cleanliness data will be made available by posting results of water quality sampling obtained by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on its official website and having information posted at all bathing beaches operated by the City of New York. This information will inform the public of bathing beach water quality data, including acceptable bathing levels. In addition, the beach posting provisions require that DPR post the date and results of the last inspection of the beach and ancillary areas.

This law also requires DPR to post on its official website the date and results of all inspections of all DPR properties, including, but not limited to parks and beaches, and to provide the public with an easy-to-use mechanism to search for the ratings of their local park property. In addition, this law will correct a technical error in the Administrative Code of the City of New York, in that two sections are numbered § 18-131. To correct this, both sections have been combined under the title "Posting of signs."

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the reporting requirements for the division of AIDS services or its functional or legal equivalent.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council hereby finds and declares that people with clinical/symptomatic HIV disease and AIDS who seek assistance from the department of AIDS services and income support or its legal or functional equivalent (the "division"), have particularly acute needs for the timely receipt of benefits and services, intensive case management, and safe, clean housing to keep them healthy. The Council further finds that having accurate information regarding the division's success in providing timely access to benefits and services, intensive case management and safe housing is critical to accomplishing its charter mandated oversight role with respect to the division. The Council hereby aims to ensure the gathering and reporting of information crucial to determining compliance with the legal mandates imposed on the division.
