small businesses. Notwithstanding any provision of article eight of this

chapter or any other provision of law, the authority is authorized to

establish and implement reasonable procedures to secure the meaningful

participation of minority and women owned enterprises and small

businesses in its procurement process, and may use the same measures to

enhance small business participation as are available to the city of New

York pursuant to section thirteen hundred nine of the New York city

charter, except to the extent inconsistent with federal law and any

funding requirements that preclude the authority from implementing the

provisions of this section. Upon written consent of the authority, the

authority shall be subject to the rules and goal authorized under

subdivision g of section thirteen hundred nine of such charter with

respect to a mentoring program established pursuant to this section,

provided that after execution of such written consent, the NYCHA CEO, as

twenty-seven of this chapter, and the city, acting by the mayor, may

enter into a memorandum of understanding relating to mentoring

opportunities authorized under this section.
