Jeff Galloway dodges meetings about his secretive MOU
Opinion December 6, 2012 By Steven E. Greer
Jeff Galloway, partner of Hughes and Hubbard LLP, and CB1 member, is the main author of the secretive Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would stifle the operations of the Asphalt Green management and drag it down into mediocrity. However, Mr. Galloway has been conspicuously absent from the CB1 meetings in public that discuss this controversial power grab attempt Continue reading

Jeff Galloway and Bob Townley’s MOU to restrict Asphalt Green is back on the table
Update December 4, 2012
The CB1 met tonight, and as BatteryPark.TV correctly forewarned, below, CB1 member Jeff Galloway and other allies of the Manhattan Youth Downtown Community Center used the crisis of Hurricane Sandy to revive their MOU that was all but dead before Hurricane Sandy. In appalling secrecy, the Ballfields Task Force, led by lawyer Jeff Galloway, partner of Hughes and Hubbard LLP, drafted a new MOU to include the onerous board of bureaucrats to keep the Asphalt Green managers in check and protect the monopoly enjoyed by Manhattan Youth.
Chair of the CB1 BPC committee, Anthony Notaro, who previously removed from consideration the MOU during the October joint session of the CB1 held at the Seaport Museum, is refusing to make public this pending MOU. Fran Dickson, also a CB1 member, was concerned and confused at how the latest MOU was created and drafted without the CB1 BPC committee ever seeing it. Fellow member Tom Goodkind echoed her concerns.

Exclusive: BPCA was not properly insured against flooding of Asphalt Green. Milstein might be on the hook.
December 4, 2012 By Steven E. Greer, MD
(This story updated at 3:00 PM on December 4, 2012)
The BPCA board convened on December 4 to discuss, among other matters, the repairs required to various construction projects after the devastation of Superstorm Sandy. Recall, BPC was virtually unscathed by the damage, in stark contrast to the adjacent regions of Lower Manhattan.
The only damage to the Asphalt Green Community Center was some temporary flooding of the wood basketball court. The flooding lasted just a few hours during the high tide. The outdoor turf fields have some mild damage as well.
However, the repair process to the Asphalt Green facility and ballfields has been intentionally stalled since October 30. Meanwhile, facilities that were devastated nearby by the same level of flooding, such as The Palm restaurant and Bob Townley’s “Manhattan Youth” Downtown Community Center, have made great strides in repairing the damage. The Palm is back open, for example.
During the BPCA board meeting, the issues of the delays with Asphalt Green, and lack of completion of the modified contract negotiations, were not discussed until BatteryPark.TV asked the question. Chairman and CEO of BPCA, Mr. Dennis Mehiel, replied, Continue reading
