Parks & Recreation Committee to Hold Oversight Hearing on Concessions in NYC’s Public Parks
A notice from Melissa Mark-ViveritoChair, Parks & Recreation Committee and Council Member for District 8:
Please take note that on April 27, 2010 at 10 a.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, the Parks and Recreation Committee of the City Council will hold an oversight hearing on concessions. The hearing is expected to address the entire range of the topic, from the planning of concessions to the process of the awarding of concessions (including input by Community Boards) to the enforcement of concessions. In addition, the committee will hear Council Members Nelson, Foster, James, Mark-Viverito and Mendez present Int. 0021-2010, a law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to identifying the location of concessions within a park.
While concessions in parks are an important revenue generator for the City and bring life to our parks, they also take up valuable public open space. The hearing will look to ensure that the balance is struck in a way that benefits the city and its local communities.
We invite you to come and either testify at the hearing, or simply observe. If you are planning on providing testimony, please confirm your attendance by emailing hearings@council.nyc.gov or calling 212-788-7210. Also, please bring twenty copies of your testimony to the hearing.
Sincerely,
Melissa Mark-Viverito
Chair, Parks & Recreation Committee
Council Member, District 8
