[edit] Absent Articles
- There are at least ten-by my count-or more City Council members who don't yet have articles devoted to them, but who arguably deserve them.
- DeBlasio, Gentile, and Monserrate without question, Rivera, Baez and Kendell Stewart as well, with a few others also being at least marginally notable.
- I created the article on Larry Seabrook, and have tried to add some material to the pre-existing article on David Yassky, but will try to get some of the others started soon.

[edit] External Links
It's a bit odd to have just the Vacca link from this page. any other Members have meaningful unofficial sites?
[edit] "President of the City Council"
There is also no mention of the "President of the City Council", Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum.
- Wasn't this presidency abolished fifteen or twenty years ago? Jim.henderson 17:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually in the 1994 Charter revision the President of the Council was converted into the Public Advocate's position. The Public Advocate is an ad-hoc member of all committees and can introduce legislation.
- Thanks. Also I see that "The Public Advocate presides over all stated meetings of the New York City Council." but the term "stated meeting" is not defined or its importance described. Are such meetings special, or are many meetings "stated"? Jim.henderson (talk) 16:37, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map of the breakdown of council districts
Some type of map of the districts that the city breaks down into would be very very useful. ZueJay (talk) 17:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed, I want to colour in a map to show the voting on New York congestion pricing, but was sad to discover there is no base map on Wikimedia for it. --Padraic 15:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
