Court Says White Plains Did Not Violate Open Meetings Law in Conducting FASNY REVIEW

WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. From the French American School of New York. November 4, 2014: 

A spokesman for the French American School of New York has just informed WPCNR that the Gedney Neighborhood Association legal action claiming the City of White Plains environmental review of the French American School of New York plan to build a central campus on the former Ridgeway Country violated the open meetings law has been denied by the courts.

Geof Thompson, spokesman for FASNY issued this statement today:

“We just received the judge’s decision dismissing the only remaining GNA (Gedney Neighborhood Association) claim in their lawsuit against the City of White Plains. As you know, GNS’s other claims were dismissed by the court earlier.

This is an important decision finding that the City did NOT violate the Opening Meetings Law.

One other important note:  The decision mentions that FASNY’s counter claim was also dismissed.  Please do not interpret this as FASNY having “lost” the case.  FASNY merely argued that the remaining claim of GNA was not “ripe” on the merits, and the Court agreed which resulted in FASNY’s position being upheld and as a result, that aspect of the matter   was simultaneously dismissed.”

Yesterday–After Sunday’s Big Wind.

The city has not yet officially explained its policy involving pickup of felled trees. The Forestry Department of the DPW, explained to WPCNR yesterday that the city would pick up felled limbs and debris left in yards due to Sunday’s gale force winds.

However, the limbs had to be placed at the curb for the city to pick up because the Forestry Department said city workers could not come into the yard to remove the branches “because of insurance issues.
