This bill would require the Administration to establish and maintain a publicly accessible, searchable online list of written commitments made by the Mayor to the Council or a Council member in connection with most ULURP applications, including applications for neighborhood rezonings, amendments to the zoning resolution, dispositions of real property, and special permits that involve at least four adjacent blocks of real property. For applications filed by the City or a non-profit controlled by the Mayor, such list shall include all commitments made by letter by the Mayor or a representative designated by the Mayor. For private applications, such list shall include only those commitments for which a funding amount of $1 million or more is specified in the letter establishing the commitment. Commitments shall be logged in the list within 30 days of final approval of the application. Beginning on June 30, 2017 and annually thereafter, the responsible agency shall report to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council on the progress of all commitments in the list.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to establishing a public list of commitments made by the city in connection with city planning commission decisions subject to council review
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 8 of the New York city charter is amended by adding a new section 206 to read as follows:
§ 206. Tracking of commitments. a. For the purposes of this section:
Block. The term “block” has the meaning given to that term in section 12-10 of the zoning resolution.
b. Such agency as the mayor shall designate shall establish and maintain a publicly accessible online searchable list of all commitments described in this section that relate to an application that:
(1) the city planning commission has approved or approved with modifications for a matter described in paragraph one, three, four, five, six, eight, ten, or eleven of subdivision a of section one hundred ninety-seven-c or a change in the text of the zoning resolution pursuant to section two hundred or two hundred one;
(2) the commission decision has been approved or approved with modifications by the council pursuant to section one hundred ninety-seven-d and is not subject to further action pursuant to subdivision e or f of such section; and
(3) involves at least four adjacent blocks of real property.
c. Such list shall include all commitments made by letter by the mayor or a representative designated by the mayor to the council or a council member that relate to an application described in subdivision b of this section on which the city or a not-for-profit corporation of which a majority of its members are appointed by the mayor is either the applicant or co-applicant.
d. Such list shall include any commitment made by letter by the mayor or a representative designated by the mayor to the council or a council member for which a funding amount of one million dollars or more is set forth in the letter establishing such commitment in relation to an application described in subdivision b of this section on which neither the city nor a not-for-profit corporation of which a majority of its members are appointed by the mayor is either the applicant or co-applicant.
e. Within thirty days of final council approval of a commission decision described in this section, the designated agency shall submit to the council and record on such list the commitments described in this section, including a description of each commitment, the target commencement and completion dates, the application number, the agency or agencies responsible for implementation of such commitment, and any funding amount set forth in the letter establishing the commitment. The designated agency may include other information that it deems relevant.
f. Beginning June 30, 2017, and annually thereafter, the designated agency shall report to the mayor and the speaker of the council information relating to commitments that have been recorded pursuant to this section, including any changes to information described in subdivision e that indicate progress toward the fulfillment of each such commitment and whether the commitment has been completed within the preceding year.
§ 2. This local law takes effect 90 days after it becomes law.
