Only the Executive Committee Members are assigned to the 197A - Michael Palma is not on the Executive Committee but is grandfathered into the 197A from when he was the co-chair of Harlem Piers.

The members of the Housing, Land Use & Zoning Committee are automatically also members of the Manhattanville Rezoning Task Force but are not members of the 197A, except Michael for the above reason.

The 197A and the Manhattanville Rezoning Task Force always meet jointly for regular monthly meetings.
The 197A working teams meet as needed and as called by the 197A chair.

Committee Public Members are appointed by The Board Chair at the request of Committee Chairs.
Public Members vote is taken in Committee only.

The General Public does no vote in Committees or in General Board, but in some instances, at the absolute discretion of the committee chair or The Board Chair, a General Public vote may be tabulated to show general community support or opposition on a particular issue.
