The mayor’s office as soon as next week plans to publish a log of gifts it has accepted on behalf of the city and post a video tour of the room in which the gifted city inventory is stored. 

Speaking at a news conference Tuesday, Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry said that the office plans to post the contents of the logbook online for the public to view. The log will include a detailed list of items received, the dates received and — when possible — who gave the gift. 

“Those logs are going to be posted publicly,” Richardson-Lowry said. “It’s not going to be a question of individual departments or those who feign a version of investigation having access to it.”
