Roosevelt Islander Online: RIOC Board Of Directors Meeting Thursday October 28

 

The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp
(RIOC) Board of Directors will meet 5:30 PM Thursday October 28, via video
conference.  

You can watch the Board meeting here
and ask questions or share concerns about Roosevelt Island during the opening
Public Session before the start of the meeting.
Sign up to speak here.

But be aware that RIOC Board Members and staff rarely respond to questions
during any Public Session though they sometimes address the subject during the
actual Board meeting.

Questions that could be asked – why is
David Kapell remaining
on the RIOC Board of Directors when he no longer lives on Roosevelt Island?

Also, 
RIOC’s new Main Street office  is hidden behind frosted windows. What message does that send to the
community?
