Summary

The Rules Committee on Sept. 9 placed a local law authorizing the sale of 101 Woodland Ave., a SEQR determination for that sale, and a resolution to dispose of surplus city-owned properties on the budget committee or upcoming council agenda.

At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Yonkers City Council Rules Committee scheduled a local law to authorize the sale of 101 Woodland Avenue and a related SEQR determination for the proposed sale. The committee also placed on the budget-committee agenda a resolution authorizing disposition of certain surplus city-owned properties. The Rules Committee did not approve sale terms or final conveyance; staff said the 101 Woodland items will be on the next council agenda and the surplus-property resolution will go to the budget committee.

Why it matters: Authorizing sales of city property and formally disposing of surplus property are preliminary steps that enable the city to transfer title, adjust capital plans and recognize revenue. SEQR determinations are needed to establish whether environmental review is required for a proposed sale or redevelopment.

At the Rules Committee meeting staff read a local-law item authorizing the sale of 101 Woodland Avenue and noted a SEQR determination would be considered. A separate resolution to dispose of unspecified surplus city properties was referred to the budget committee. The presiding officer confirmed those scheduling instructions.
