A Local Law to amend local law 20 for the year 1995, in relation to extending the time for the submission to the city council of a comprehensive proposal for the removal or deactivation of fire department street alarm boxes and the time for the city council to approve or disapprove such proposal

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Section 1 of local law 20 for the year 1995 is amended to read as follows:

Section 1. No fire department street alarm box shall be removed, deactivated or otherwise rendered unusable for the purpose of summoning the fire department, nor any administrative action related thereto taken, other than studies and planning, unless (a) the mayor, [within three months of the effective date of this local law,] shall have prepared and submitted to the city council a comprehensive proposal, including a pilot program and reporting requirements thereon and including such amendments and modifications as may have been prepared and submitted by the mayor, setting forth the details of any such proposed removal or deactivation on or before the seventeenth day of August, nineteen hundred ninety-five; and (b) the city council shall have approved the proposal pursuant to section three of this local law; provided, however, that further amendments to the proposal may be prepared and submitted by the mayor in consultation with the speaker after the seventeenth day of August, nineteen hundred ninety-five.

§2. Section 3 of local law 20 for the year 1995 is amended to read as follows:

§ 3. [Within sixty days after the first stated meeting of the council following the receipt of the removal proposal] No later than the sixth day of September, nineteen hundred ninety-five, the council may approve or reject such proposal, as such proposal may have been amended or modified by the mayor in accordance with section one of this local law, by means of any appropriate legislative action. If the council fails to act on or before such date, such proposal, as such proposal may have been amended or modified by the mayor in accordance with section one of this local law, shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of section two of this local law and have been approved by the council and shall take effect in accordance with its terms. If the council rejects the proposal, the mayor may, in his or her discretion submit an amended proposal. The council shall approve or reject such amended proposal within sixty days after the first stated meeting of the council following its receipt. In the event the council fails to act with respect to [the original proposal or] the amended proposal within such sixty day period, the [removal] amended proposal shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of section two of this local law and to have been approved by the council and shall take effect in accordance with its terms.

§3. This local law shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect as of August 9, 1995.
