Oct 27 is a doubleheader: zoning hearing at 6:30 — and a stated meeting at 7.

The council calendar lists a 7:00 PM stated meeting 30 minutes after the 6:30 D-MX/UR-HD zoning hearing, same room — no meeting agenda posted yet. Every Oct 13 docket file still reads "Referred," minutes still Draft. Plus: the DRI open call closes at 4 PM today, and LPC meetings are set for Oct 26 + Nov 30.

Two days after the gavel: the meeting is watchable — but every docket file still reads "Referred."

The Oct 13 council video is now on the city's TV archive and Legistar minutes hit "Draft" — yet all eleven docket files, including the Greenburgh training-center deal, remain voteless. Plus: the county's voter cheat-sheet (register by Oct 24, early vote Oct 24–Nov 1).

Council night is tomorrow — the docket is locked, and Oct 27 is now official.

Meeting-eve check: the Oct 13 agenda is Final at 11 items — P.S. 9 first, $1,812,576.01 in grants, a $20,000 settlement, the AI-in-schools resolution — while the Sept 29 dozen stays queued. Plus: the Break the Silence 5K raised $5,000+ for YCAP.

P.S. 9 is back as item #1 — and the Sept 29 dozen is missing from Tuesday's agenda.

The Final agenda for Tuesday's 7 PM stated meeting: a refiled P.S. 9 local law leads (the original now reads “Withdrawn”), four grants totaling $1,812,576.01, a $20,000 settlement, and an AI-in-elementary-schools resolution. The Sept 29 stack? Still queued, none scheduled.
