Creation of a frontline worker memorial task force.

A Local Law in relation to the creation of a frontline worker memorial task force

This bill would create a task force to consider the various factors involved in creating a memorial to frontline workers who died as a direct result of COVID-19 and to make recommendations in furtherance of that objective. The task force would be composed of the Commissioner of Cultural Affairs or such commissioner’s designee, the Commissioner of Parks and Recreation or such commissioner’s designee, and members appointed by the Mayor and by the Speaker of the Council, two of whom served as frontline workers during the COVID-19 emergency. The task force would be required to report recommendations to the Mayor and to the Speaker of the Council. This report would be due 270 days after the effective date of this local law and would be published on the Department of Cultural Affairs’ website.
