Legislative Representative to Albany contract files for 1981 to 1983

Accession ACC-1983-079. Unprocessed - RG 001/RG 001.EIK. Office of the Mayor, Edward I. Koch

Description

The accession consists of memoranda, correspondence, routing and correspondence tracking sheets, copies of violations, summonses, staff notes, questionnaires, lists, and other records documenting an aspect of the work of the Legislative Representative. The bulk consists of constituent requests and grievances forwarded to the City's Legislative Representative by State Senators and Assembly Persons although there are some other agencies represented (such as New York Conference of Mayors and the Administrator of Health Care Financing). Some of the requests for intervention in parking or other violations involve the legislators themselves. The term "contract file" appears to be a code word for special consideration or "favors" file and is apparently no longer being used by the office and similar material is now being filed under Senate, Assembly, etc. depending on its origin. One folder which may be misfiled is titled City Lists (State of legislation) 1983 and contains a report on the state of State legislation of interest to the City, as of March 10, 1983. This is the latest date noticed in the accession. One particularly interesting sheet of correspondence deals with the prospective handling of the response to a note to Mayor Koch from William Tody HEW(?) Administrator, dated January 5, 1982. Involved in the suggestions of how to handle it are Diane Mulealy [?] Coffee, Patti [Harris?], Margaret L.W. Boepple, and James Brenner. This packet is located in the Budget folder. Arranged alphabetically by name of city department, city official, or category.
