P.S. 9 returns — as a new file, in slot #1 verified
The former public school’s redevelopment is back: agenda item #1 Tuesday is TMP-0864, a local law “authorizing the conveyance of the former Public School #9” sponsored by Councilmember Diaz. The backstory is in the file numbers: the original P.S. 9 local law (TMP-0813), which we last saw “Tabled” in our Oct 6 check, now reads “Withdrawn” in the city’s legislation file — the flip landed between our Oct 6 morning check and an Oct 8 midday snapshot. So Tuesday’s vote, if it happens, is on a fresh filing of the same idea, not the summer’s original.
The money stack: $1,812,576.01 in grants, plus a $20,000 settlement verified
Four of the eleven items are grant acceptances: $30,000 from the Field Hall Foundation, $202,648 in state CHIPS transportation funding from NYSDOT, $285,304 in federal ESG homelessness-aid funding from HUD, and $1,294,624.01 in federal HOME affordable-housing funding from HUD — together $1,812,576.01, each amending the city’s 2026/2027 grant budget and each tagged “positive fiscal impact.” A fifth budget amendment adds three new positions in the Department of Information Technology. And one item settles a lawsuit: $20,000 to two claimants who alleged excessive force while being detained during a melee at the McDonald’s at 155 South Broadway on March 17, 2023.
AI in elementary schools, Greenburgh training deal, and a Columbus Day vote on Oct 13 verified
The rest of the docket, from the agenda text: a resolution urging the Yonkers Public Schools Board of Education to adopt age-appropriate restrictions on student use of artificial intelligence in elementary schools “so that Yonkers students first develop the critical thinking skills they will need”; a inter-municipal agreement letting Greenburgh use the Yonkers Police and Fire Special Operations Training Center (tagged positive fiscal impact); a resolution declaring October 12, 2026 Columbus Day in Yonkers — named for the day before the meeting that would adopt it; and a Commissioner of Deeds appointment.
The Sept 29 dozen: still queued, none scheduled verified
The twelve matters we’ve tracked since the Sept 29 meeting — the six October heritage declarations, the bullying-prevention and NICU resolutions, the fire-prevention and custodian and cerebral-palsy days, the Yonkers IDA agreement and the South Broadway/Caryl Ave encroachment — all twelve still read “Agenda Ready” in this morning’s pull, and not one file number (TMP-0834 through TMP-0845) appears on Tuesday’s published agenda. With the meeting two days out, they remain queued rather than scheduled — unless something is added late. The council’s calendar lists a second October stated meeting on Oct 27 (city calendar, checked Oct 5 — the city site still blocks automated pulls, so not re-checked today).
