PUBLIC INPUT AT BOARD MEETINGS:

An opportunity for the public to address the Board on public interest items will be provided for up to two (2) minutes per person for a cumulative total of twenty (20) minutes. Testimony shall be limited in content to matters which are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board. The Board may not take any action on matters discussed during the Public Comment period.

The Board will also provide an opportunity for the public to address the Board on agenda items before or during consideration of the item for up to two (2) minutes per person for a cumulative total of up to ten (10) minutes.

In conformity with the Governor's Executive Order N-29-20 (March 17, 2020) and due to concerns over COVID-19, the Board meeting will be conducted entirely telephonically.

Members of the public who wish to offer public comment to the Board should submit written comments via Google form at https://bit.ly/DPWCommentForm or call +1 669 254 5252 and use Meeting ID No. 161 637 1032. Press # again when prompted for participant ID.

VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Board (3 votes) for approval.

Any member of the Board may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or where an intervening event has deprived the Board of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the Agenda number, meeting date and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require an affirmative vote of three members of the Board.

The Board rules provide that all items adopted by the Board will not be distributed or presented to the Mayor, or other designated office, until the adjournment of the regular Board meeting following the date of the Board action. A motion to send an item "forthwith", if adopted by three (3) votes, suspends these rules and requires the Board Secretariat to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other office, without delay.

  2. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Engineering, Real Estate Division, to rescind any and all prior Notices of Eligibility issued concerning La Gloria's relocation benefits claim;

  3. FIND that La Gloria's conduct constituted extraordinary or unforeseeable circumstances that resulted in an extension of time from the date La Gloria filed the Appeal to the date of the Appeals Board's decision; and

  4. FIND that the determination of the Appeal by the Appeals Board is a final action, not reviewable or appealable further within the City such that any time limits for La Gloria to seek any available federal administrative or judicial review of the Appeals Board's determination begins to run on the date of this action by the Appeals Board.
