Int. No. 119-A
By Council Members Brewer, Avella, DeBlasio, Fidler, Jackson, Lopez, Monserrate, Moskowitz, Perkins, Reyna, Sears and Felder; also Council Members Addabbo and Sanders
A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to requiring that official publications of city agencies be submitted in electronic format to the department of records and information services and be made available to the public through the department's website.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council finds and declares that the City of New York should lead the nation in using information technologies to improve the efficiency and accessibility of municipal government. Recognizing that the Internet offers a powerful means of accomplishing these twin goals, and recognizing further that reducing government's use of paper benefits the environment, the Council finds that City agencies should aggressively expand their presence on the City's award-winning website, nyc.gov, by posting vital documents and publications in a timely fashion for public use.
Pursuant to this legislation, and recognizing that the Department of Records and Information Services currently serves as the New York City Charter mandated repository and disseminator of City documents, City agencies will be required to transmit to the Department, in an electronic format, all documents required by law to be published or transmitted to the Mayor or Council. Such transmittal shall occur within ten business days after the date upon which any such document is required by law to be published or transmitted to the Mayor or Council. The Department of Records and Information Services shall further make any such document transmitted to the Department in this manner available on its website within ten business days after the date upon which any such document is required by law to be published or transmitted to the Mayor or Council. With these requirements, the City will make municipal information more readily accessible to the public and will, most importantly, encourage the increasing use of information technology resources as a means of improving government.

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

§ 5. This local law shall take effect one hundred twenty days after its enactment except that community boards shall not be subject to the provisions of this local law until one year after its enactment.
Enactment date: 2/18/2003
Proposed Int. No. 171-A
By Council Member Moskowitz.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to strengthening and clarifying the Campaign Finance Act.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of Legislative Intent and Findings.
The New York City Campaign Finance Act was adopted by the New York City Council in 1988. The Act, through its administration by the Campaign Finance Board, has succeeded in enhancing competition for elective municipal offices, limiting campaign contributions and expenditures to reasonable levels, and vastly increasing public information about the sources and uses of campaign funds. New York City's campaign finance program has been a model for the nation and a first-rate example of successful campaign finance reform in action.
After greater than a decade of experience, the Council seeks to reaffirm the fundamental goals of the Campaign Finance Act and to strengthen this landmark law through changes that are intended to encourage a continued high level of participation in the voluntary program and to protect public funds from fraud and unnecessary expenditures.

[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]

§ 15. Sections 3 and 7 of this local law shall not have any effect on any adjustments made prior to the effective date of this law pursuant to subdivision 7 of section 3-703 or paragraph (e) of subdivision 1 of section 3-706 of the administrative code.
§ 16. Notwithstanding any provision of this local law to the contrary, an authorized committee, as such term is defined in section 3-702 of the administrative code, authorized by a participating candidate to aid or take part in a covered election scheduled to be held before January first, two thousand and four, that was in existence as of December first, two thousand and two, may continue in existence as such candidate's principal committee, as such term is defined in this local law, notwithstanding that such committee had been authorized or otherwise active for any prior election.
§ 17. This local law shall become effective immediately, except the amendments to subdivision 12 of section 3-703 contained in section 4 of this local law, which shall become effective December thirty-first, two thousand and three.

Proposed Int. No. 102-A
By Council Members Perkins, Baez, Barron, Brewer, Comrie, Davis, Jackson, Jennings, Lopez, Nelson, Quinn, Reed, Sanders, Seabrook, Stewart, Moskowitz, Boyland and Gerson; also Council Member Gioia.
A Local Law to amend the New York City Charter in relation to the custody and control of city records of historical, research, cultural or other important value.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Declaration of Intent and Findings. The Council finds that the professional and unbiased preservation of the City's historical records is necessary in order to capture the accurate recording of history. The professional archiving of and accessibility to these records are cornerstones of a free society. The City's Department of Records and Information Services (the "Department") is responsible for the professional administration and permanent preservation of historically valuable, public records of the City of New York. Through its municipal archives, the Department acts to preserve the City's "collective memory," and to make "possible the transmission of our democratic cultural heritage from generation to generation." See www.NYC.gov.html.doris (message from the commissioner). Individually and collectively, these records are priceless, unique, and are among the richest of our City's legacies.
In order to ensure that the City does not lose public control of such vital, City-owned records, it is important to clearly outline how the City may maintain the custody and control of public records produced during the administrations of city officials. The legislation defines and prohibits arrangements that may compromise or appear to compromise the professional and unbiased archiving of records. The legislation also creates a review board, which will have access to review any archiving processes with any archival entities the City contracts with, including private entities the City has contracted with in the past. The violation or appearance of violation of the integrity of these records constitutes an injury to the public, who rely on the City to maintain an accurate account of its history and operations. Such injury could occur, for example, when the custody of the original and only set of historical records is turned over to a non-public entity, and could leave the public to question its accuracy and completeness. Only those public entities that have no more than the City's interest in mind should be entrusted to handle these records.
The Council proposed this legislation after hearing testimony from expert historians, archivists, and good government advocates regarding the proper handling of important historical documents so as to maintain their integrity and avoid any selective denial of access to such records, or any appearance thereof. It is important that, when others look back at any period in history, they have, to whatever extent possible, access to the complete and accurate record of the City's public office holders and their administrations.
The measures instituted by this legislation also seek to better ensure equal access to all members of the public by keeping historical records in the custody of a public entity dedicated to the service of the City of New York. In so doing, the Council expects to facilitate the Department's Charter-mandated mission to "ensure that all significant research material pertaining to the operations of the City as well as other municipalities shall be preserved and readily available for use[.]" New York City Charter § 3003(2).
