13:01 everyone on this very hot and

13:05 hazy day. So this has been a

13:06 very busy week to put it madly

13:09 for the City Council.

13:10 Yesterday we held a hearing on

13:13 romance named after romance

13:15 maha john who tragically died

13:16 after he was thrown from a

13:19 horse drawn carriage in

13:20 central park last month we

13:22 heard very compellin

13:23 gtestimony from his family from

13:27 animal welfare advocates. Some

13:28 Chi w you from drivers

13:30 medallion owners and I really

13:32 first of all want to to thank

13:34 Council Member showman for

13:36 sharing that marathon, I think

13:37 it was 10 hours it clocked in

13:39 at the end 10 hour hearing and

13:42 all the council members who

13:43 turned out and I look forward

13:46 to hearing thoughts from

13:47 additional counsel members as

13:49 we go through this process and

13:50 as we consider any amendments

13:54 and additional language to th

13:54 ebill and thank you to council

13:56 member as well. Um okay, so

14:00 moving along for those

14:02 residents who are small

14:03 business owners we've kept up

14:05 our efforts to make life

14:06 easier for them today. We're

14:08 introducing a bill that I

14:09 . Spend lying on the floor

14:13 ,please. That aims to topple

14:13 the barriers that prevent

14:15 small businesses from

14:16 succeeding this spill would

14:18 establish a quadrennial

14:19 commission, whose

14:21 recommendations would ease

14:21 permitting and licensing

14:23 inspections as well as reduce

14:24 fines and fees we know that

14:26 about 5000 small businesses

14:28 closed last year. So this is

14:31 an urgent, urgent crisis I

14:32 nthat vein. We're voting on

14:34 legislation sponsored by

14:35 council members, which would

14:37 help cut through the maze of

14:40 bureaucratic red tape that

14:41 aspiring business owners are

14:43 forced to navigate as a former

14:45 small business owner myself. I

14:47 really understand that we

14:48 talked to so many small

14:50 business owners and heard from

14:51 them. Some of whom were just

14:52 said it's taking them

14:55 sometimes several years to b

14:56 eable to open their small

14:57 business, so that's not

14:58 acceptable and now the council

15:01 is taking action to address

15:04 that on Tuesday, we announced

15:05 that the council secured $1.5

15:09 million in the budget for

15:11 60000 free swim lessons for an

15:13 additional 3002 graders. Um

15:17 gthe bronx for a number of

15:21 colleagues where we announced

15:23 this, and I think this is so

15:25 incredibly important. It

15:25 builds on the work we did from

15:28 last council I had had a bill

15:29 that a mandated free some

15:31 lessons to evidence every

15:32 single second grader, but in

15:33 the last administration that

15:35 wasn't fully implemented s

15:36 onow we're adding additional

15:39 funding to do that we end,

15:40 this builds on some work tha

15:40 ti had done with Council Member

15:43 Chris and the grey foundation,

15:45 asphalt green where we launch

15:46 a pilot program about a year

15:49 ago, which is already provided

15:51 free some lessons, just 6000

15:52 public schools, second graders

15:56 earlier this morning I was

15:57 thrilled to gather in the

15:58 rettendon with many of you

16:01 where we advocated for our

16:03 paraprofessionals and for the

16:06 respect act proud to be

16:07 wearing this pin on this today

16:09 for our amazing, amazing paris

16:12 first of all want, want t

16:14 othank Council Member Carmen De

16:16 and I have been on a two year

16:18 journey along with the u on

16:21 this important work, and I

16:21 just want to say a word about

16:24 this, our cities prayer

16:25 professionals starting salary

16:27 is $32000 32 thousand 500 to

16:32 be specific, we know our

16:33 parros are helping our most

16:34 special reason source our

16:37 children

16:38 . And really our most

16:38 vulnerable children, those

16:40 with special needs we have

16:45 1600 vacancies at of

16:46 paraprofessionals.

16:46 We are spending $1.5 billion

16:49 a year on carter cases largely

16:52 because in so many classrooms

16:54 there is no pair of

16:55 professional so many of our

16:57 pair of professionals and

16:57 we've heard this literally at

16:59 every single rally. I think we

17:01 did four rallies,

17:03 councilmember dolorosa here

17:04 and high on this issue and at

17:04 every rally we hear fro

17:07 mimpair professionals who

17:08 literally say some of them are

17:09 living in the shelter syste

17:11 msome cannot afford groceries.

17:14 This is unconscionable and so

17:16 today or for hope is that we

17:19 will finally passed

17:20 legislation to address it. I

17:23 want to be clear. Obviously,

17:24 we believe this should be done

17:25 via collective bargaining or

17:27 through the budget, but that

17:28 was not happening. And so we

17:30 the council had to act and so

17:32 I think this is just

17:34 incredibly incredibly

17:37 important that we finally once

17:37 and for all. Give the pay they

17:39 so rightly deserve.

17:43 On a sweeter note. There are

17:44 a few things to look forward

17:45 to. I want to first of all I

17:46 wish very happy early birthday

18:46 36 anniversary of the american

18:48 with disabilities act. We

18:49 remember the decades of

18:51 activism. It took for congress

18:54 to pass this landmark

18:58 their mobility aids dragged

18:59 their bodies up the capitol

19:01 steps and demanded their

19:04 rights thanks to their hard
