Register of Community Board Budget Requests

This dataset reports each of the projects and programs requested by the City’s 59 community boards. The Register is the charter mandated product of a dynamic and cyclical budget process for the 59 community boards. The community boards consult with agencies on the capital and expense needs of the district. After consulting, each community board develops and votes separate priorities for up to 40 capital and 25 expense budget requests which the agencies review and respond to in the Register of Community Board Requests for the Preliminary Budget in January. The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reviews these same budget requests and updates the responses for the Executive and Adopted Budgets. This dataset is updated three times per year after publication of the Preliminary, Executive and Adopted Budget, usually in January, April and June respectively.

Request
Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs (BPL)
Explanation
Extend library hours. We need all of our public libraries to be open as much as possible, and fully provisioned to serve as modern, welcoming, and vibrant community hubs--particularly as our youth grapple with post-COVID recovery and ongoing social uncertainties. Brooklyn Heights, Walt Whitman, and Clinton Hill branches of particular interest

Explanation
Increase education and outreach regarding using SNAP benefits at City Green Markets. Data from our mutual aid groups confirms that food insecurity has been steadily rising in our District.

Request
Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations
Explanation
Incentive programs for landlords, building management, and restaurants to take Rat Academy and educate their tenants and employees. The rats are out of control. Our car parts are being eaten and our sidewalks have eroded from the burrows below. Rats and mice spread over 35 diseases that can infect both people and pets through direct and indirect contact. Apart from the public health hazard, rats can also weaken building structures by gnawing through lead and aluminium sheeting and chewing through electrical wiring, which can start fires by shorting-out appliances or lighting fixtures.
Response
Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Explanation
Funding for climate control assistance for seniors and low-income residents. The health and well-being of our most vulnerable neighbors is increasingly at risk in the new normal of constant extreme weather events; especially those that are low income and may not have access to reliable or affordable air conditioning and heating. This is an equity issue, as well as a long term resiliency issue.

Other educational programs requests
Explanation
Funding for more 3K outreach, full time workers, and seamless programs offering wrap around services for participants. 3K programs have open seats as a result of lack of availability of after school care. Families eligible for 3K programs frequently do not enroll in these early childhood programs because they are on a school year schedule. Families need after school hours, care during school vacations and holidays. This prevents full employment of parents who cannot find full time services.
Response
More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.

Other expense budget request for DSNY
Explanation
More sanitation service and enforcement under the BQE. Despite coordinated community cleanups, the area under the BQE near the Brooklyn Navy Yard is disgusting and unsafe. Cars are ticketed for parking during street cleaning hours, which the City routinely skips. These conditions have encouraged an increase in illicit activity, homeless encampments, and illegal dumping. The Board requests more regular sanitiation service, consistent graffiti removal, a coordinated effort to enforce illegal dumping fines, and a scheduled milling and repainting of the parking surfaces.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: This is not a budget request. The matter in question is an issue of service delivery and/or agency policy. Contact the Department of Sanitation to determine how best to resolve this issue.

Request
Provide resources to train officers, e.g. in community policing
Explanation
Provide resources to train officers in community policing, community relations, and deescalation techniques. Better relationships with the community leads to better policing and safer environments. Over the past 30+ years there have been experiments with community policing programs, but without consistency or continuity these efforts are not taken seriously by the NYPD or the public. The Board also encourages the NYPD to study alternatives to blocking precinct sidewalks with personal vehicles. This practice violates the ADA and undermines the public trust.

The limited rate of compost pick-ups by DSNY does not allow for this disposal method to become the norm for urban apartment dwellers.

Programs exist to enable property owners to convert from gas to electric energy and adopt other green technologies, but there is a lack of engagement between the community and the City to spread awareness and participation. Large swaths of the community lack awareness about the programs and there is too much complexity to existing regulations, such as Local Law 97.

Funding more traffic enforcement agents. Traffic violence kills more people than guns in NYC. There is blatant disregard for traffic safety, red lights, stop signs, and pedestrian right of way, which has made walking through the District unsafe even in the daytime. Reckless delivery drivers, e-scooters, and enhanced motorbikes need to be reined in, and bicycles must obey traffic rules.

Provide or expand business recovery assistance after an emergency
Explanation
Our Main Streets need ongoing support for post-COVID recovery. There are still too many vacant and dilapidated store fronts along all of our 8 Business Improvement Districts, and our District has seen a decline in relations between residential and BID interests in DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn. Residents want economic recovery and walkable amenities, but they must serve low- and moderate income brackets as well as high income. With more assistance and incentives, post-COVID could be an opportunity for mom and pop businesses to compete with corporate franchises and top shelf concepts. It is exciting to see the growth of marquee restaurants, but the community is also missing our daily diners, laundromats, and dollar stores.
