This morning the committee voted 6-0 in favor of adopting a bill that will codify into the City Charter the office of New York City Cyber Command, an important step toward securing the city's growing digital infrastructure against cyber threats. Chair @BobHoldenNYC's statement:
Despite the challenges of this pandemic, my @NYCCouncilTech Committee staff is still hard at work. Today we discussed some potential upcoming hearings related to the pressing issues with technology in the city. Even @RockyOfficeCat jumped in for the meeting!
Open data is incredibly important for ensuring government transparency and accountability. Today I partnered with @BetaNYC to host an open data workshop for @NYCCouncil staff members to learn how to navigate public datasets and use this information to help our constituents.
We made history yesterday by conducting the first-ever virtual stated meeting, and it went very smoothly!
Thank you to everyone who made this possible as my colleagues and I strive to keep working for all New Yorkers during this unprecedented time.
“Hosting the body’s first-ever Stated meeting remotely is obviously a daunting task, but I have confidence in Speaker Johnson and his staff in setting up the technology to run with little to no issues,” Holden said..."
