A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creating an adopt-a-park program.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. Due to the increased cost of maintenance and the necessity to increase revenue for the preservation of our precious parkland, particularly neighborhood parks, open space and urban forest, the Council believes it is appropriate to create a source of funding through community involvement and direct financial giving. This program is not intended to rename any park property or structure, but to provide another mechanism whereby individuals, community groups, businesses and corporations can help the city preserve its precious land and recreational programs. Through local community commitment, this program is designed to provide another avenue of assistance for all parks, from small playgrounds and greenstreets to beachfronts, pools and recreation centers. The revenue generated through this program is intended to supplement all allocations and sources of revenue for the Department of Parks and Recreation.

Int. No. 555

By Council Members Liu, Comrie, Gennaro, Koppell, Martinez, Sanders, Weprin, Sears, Gerson and Gonzalez

A Local Law in relation to the approval of a determination by the taxi and limousine commission to approve an application by A Ride For All, LLC for a license to operate a base station in the borough of Queens.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The Council finds that there is a severe lack of for-hire vehicle transportation available in the City of New York for disabled individuals using wheelchairs and motorized scooters. The fact that a disabled wheelchair or motorized scooter user cannot simply call a licensed for-hire vehicle base station and arrange for a vehicle to pick them up in a timely manner, the way a non-wheelchair or motorized scooter user can, is simply unacceptable. The Council commends the Mayoral Administration and A Ride For All, LLC for beginning to remedy this transportation inequity by licensing and establishing a new for-hire vehicle base station comprised exclusively of wheelchair-accessible vehicles. To encourage this type of public-private initiative, the Council hereby expedites the approval of A Ride For All, LLC's application for a new license to operate a base station.

While anticipating the success and growth of this particular base station and the services it will provide to the disabled community, the Council observes that this base station approval is but a first step towards making wheelchair-accessible for-hire vehicle service routinely available upon demand in the City of New York in a manner that comports with all applicable Federal, State and City laws and rules that provide for equivalent service and price to the same transportation conveyances available to the members of the public who are not disabled or use wheelchairs or scooters for medical reasons.

§ 2. The determination by the taxi and limousine commission to approve an application by A Ride For All, LLC for a license to operate a base station at 41-10 24th Street in the borough of Queens is hereby approved.

§ 3. This local law shall take effect immediately.

By the Speaker (Council Member Miller) and Council Members Vallone Jr., Addabbo Jr., Comrie, Fidler, Gennaro, Katz, Liu, Nelson, Quinn, Recchia Jr., Sanders Jr., Vann and Weprin

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to making it a misdemeanor to trespass upon the playing area of a professional sporting event and imposing a civil penalty for those who interfere with a professional sporting event.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section One. Legislative findings and intent. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of unruly fans at professional sporting events. These fans have become more violent by trespassing onto the playing area of a professional sporting event and attacking players, coaches and sports officials.

Two episodes of violence and fan disruption, during the play of professional baseball, merely seven months apart, illustrate this problem. The first incident at the home of the Chicago White Sox involved a father-son duo that jumped over the box-seat railing and injured the opposing team's first base coach, who has hearing damage from that incident. The second incident occurred when a 24-year old man ran onto the field, raced over to the first base umpire and wrapped his arms around him. This occurred after three separate instances in earlier innings of fans running onto the field. Barry Mano, President of the National Association of Sports Officials, states: "We're out in harm's way and things are worse today than ever before."

The City Council, in an effort to protect sport participants at professional sporting events in New York City, and to dissuade lawless fans from committing injury and mayhem, creates a new section of the administrative code that makes it a Class A misdemeanor to trespass onto the playing area of a professional sporting event and implements a structure of civil penalties for such unruly fans. This legislation does not include athletic competition or practice that is played by a college or university team, nor shall it include any interscholastic or intramural athletic activity or youth athletic activity sponsored by a primary, middle, junior high, high school, community or municipal recreation department.

Int. No. 569-A

By Council Members Katz, Avella, Comrie, Weprin and Yassky (by request of the Mayor)

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to the installation and maintenance of newsstands pursuant to a franchise and the placement of advertising on newsstands and to repeal subdivision d, and to repeal and reenact subdivision h, of section 20-231 of such code.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Declaration of intent. In the interests of better serving the public, improving the appearance of street furniture, including newsstands, located on the sidewalks throughout the City, and to enhance the revenues available to the City, the Council adopted Resolution No. 1004 authorizing the Department of Transportation to grant nonexclusive franchises for the installation, operation, and maintenance of coordinated franchise structures. It is anticipated that compliance with legally applicable requirements for the reconstruction of newsstands pursuant to such a franchise or franchises may result in the enlargement of the footprints of the existing stands as well as other changes in their design. As a result of these changes, the existing locations of licensed newsstands may intrude into buffer zones defined under existing rules of the Department of Consumer Affairs and cease to be eligible for the placement by a franchisee of a larger or redesigned newsstand.

The presence of newsstands on the streets of the City is an important amenity that provides pedestrians with convenient access to a variety of items, particularly newspapers and magazines. The Council recognizes that the placement of newsstands must be regulated so that the public is protected from unsafe conditions, including pedestrian traffic congestion, obstructions of important sight lines by which drivers see pedestrians and pedestrians are aware of vehicles, and obstacles at entrances to buildings or in bus stops and pedestrian crosswalks. The Council also recognizes that it is essential to ensure that the newsstand structures do not interfere with the provision of essential City services, such as the City's fire-fighting services, that depend, for example, on unobstructed access to fire hydrants. Accordingly, the Council seeks to minimize the disruption of the licensees of newsstands and the convenience of pedestrians who purchase items from newsstands by reducing the siting criteria that would be applicable to newsstands installed by a franchisee to those that are essential to the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the public.

§ 11. This local law shall take effect on the later of the date on which it is enacted into law or the date upon which a resolution authorizing the department of transportation to grant nonexclusive franchises for the installation, operation and maintenance of coordinated franchise structures is passed by the city council, provided that the department of consumer affairs and the department of transportation may take any actions necessary to effectuate the provisions of this local law prior to its effective date, including the promulgation of new rules and the modification of existing rules prior to such date.
