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
Provide more community board staff
Explanation
Every year we manage hundreds of service delivery requests, a youth conference, a nonprofit roundtable. We've added a lunch and learn series, and a YLC. Increasing responsibilities have been assigned and hiring staff and specialists, such as planners, policy analysts, IT assistance, would help to introduce more initiatives and develop longer range projects. As the most local city agency, we give voice to the individuals who make up our communities. To support serving communities equitably, it is imperative that the city fund and provide language access services at the CB level.
Response
As of the FY 2024 Adopted Budget, each Community Board's budget is $257,507.

Other expense budget request for DOT
Explanation
New York City must recognize ownership of the Plaza. The clearest solution we see is for Newkirk Plaza to become a formal participant in the DOT?s Pedestrian Plaza Program.The City inability to determine jurisdiction over Newkirk Plaza has left several chronic issues unresolved, including a serious rodent infestation,sanitation maintenance concerns, disrepair of the brick plaza surface,andgrowing street homelessness challenges.

Other cleaning requests
Explanation
There are 1200 road segments in CD 14. Given the number of dead ends, overpasses, and road bridges, cleaning is a persistent need. The evisceration of MLP, which is the only operation that cleans CD14's 54 dead ends streets, the temporary reductions in basket collection and lot cleaning, cancellation of electronics collection and organics is a myopic response in a city striving to recover its health and economy. DSNY stepped up to the plate in the midst of a public health crises like no other agency. BK14 assists DPR in the aftermath of storms, while still maintaining collection. We cannot depend of partially serving the community based on the whims of Councilmembers. Baseline services should come from the baseline budget. Restore full funding.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Although the Department of Sanitation supports this program, due to fiscal constraints the availability of funds is uncertain.

Request
Expand street outreach
Explanation
Reports on homeless encampments and regarding individuals who appear to be homeless have increased over the past year. Breaking Ground is the current contractor and provides excellent service. Given the increase in calls to the Community Board, the Police and 311, an increase in outreach services is warranted. These teams must be equipped with professionals who can assist those who are not technically homeless, but are on the street due to substance use. There should be a Support and Connection Center in Brooklyn.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Street outreach services are available 24/7, 365 days a year. By calling 311 or using the 311 app when a homeless individual appears to be in need of assistance, any New Yorker can dispatch an outreach team to that person and help them move indoors. Funding for street outreach has more than doubled in recent years.

Forestry services, including street tree maintenance
Explanation
Flatbush and Midwood boast 10,327 street trees, including 121 different species according to DPR's census. Argyle Road is considered the "leafiest" in Brooklyn. A more robust pruning cycle is still necessary. Requests for emergency pruning and fallen branches have not subsided in the District. Limbs, branches and entire trees fall during increasing weather events often blocking sidewalks, driveways and streets for days. DPR needs a better funded and more robust contracting practice or, better yet, increase the budget to bring the work in house.

Create or promote programs to de-stigmatize mental health needs and encourage treatment
Explanation
Nearly one in 25 New Yorkers has experienced mental illness. About 280,000 have major disorders such as schizophrenia. Forty percent of those in city shelters and 53% of those in city jails experience mental illness. From March to December of 2020, more than 17,000 calls were made for mental health assistance. This was 85 times more than the same period in 2019.

The city must continue to expand mobile crises teams, and intensive mobile teams as well as HOMESTAT outreach to unsheltered homeless individuals experiencing mental illness. A Support and Connection Center should be provided in Brooklyn.

Explanation
Four out of five top 311 requests are for HPD inspections and violation enforcement. CB 14 ranks 12th in the city in the number of housing code violations per 1000 residents, and only 40% of rental units are considered adequate. Maintaining housing that exists now helps to stem this crisis. Adequate housing is pivotal to health outcomes, and an urgent need in recovering from the ongoing public health crises.

Explanation

Ongoing infection disease concerns, barriers to vaccines whether they be knowledge and understanding based, cultural practices based, language access, etc. must be thoughtfully addressed. Access to quality housing, healthy food choices and outdoor space all contribute systemically to health outcomes and thus cannot be considered singularly, let alone in competition with one another.

Explanation
Residents of CB14 waited a long time for the pilot program just to the west of the district to expand. Rather than expanding the program DSNY is further limiting it in Brooklyn. Given that the program now requires residents to sign up, it seems that new routes can cross district lines similar to how school collection is done. Instead, DSNY is piloting a borough wide effort in Queens. Please reconsider and serve Brooklyn equitably.

Explanation

The District ranks 8th in the percent of renter households that are severely overcrowded. Nearly 35% of renters in the District pay over 50% of their household income on monthly rent. Affordability of rentals (at 80% of AMI) decreased from 2010-2017, from 71.3% to only 49%. These are pressures that lend themselves to homelessness and continued expansion of prevention programs is warranted.

Explanation
Case management, home care, legal services, and transportation services are generally intertwined.

Explanation
Our seniors can no longer afford to maintain their properties and stay in their homes. Rentals are too expensive on fixed incomes. With an increasing aging population we need to create affordable senior communities. New York City is way behind in that area. Our middle class numbers have decreased. Real estate prices have sky-rocketed in our community. It is becoming impossible for people who grew up here or raised a family here to remain in our community. Home ownership is now a pipe dream, only affordable for the very wealthy. Rents are becoming so high that families have taken up residence in illegally created apartments, sometimes overcrowded to the point of being unsafe.

Request
Add NYPD parking facilities
Explanation
Currently, Brooklyn has only one police Tow Pound in Northern Brooklyn and it's often at full capacity. This is a growing problem for our community. Additional car lifts (stackers) at the existing Tow Pound would increase holding capacity and permit more vehicles to be stored as an immediate interim measure. The current pound being located across the borough results in long travel times. It limits the turnaround time resulting in diminished productivity per work shift for Row Tow operators serving Southern Brooklyn. Ideally, we would like the short-term addition of car lifts at the existing Tow Pound until a new pound can be sited and constructed in Southern Brooklyn to expedite Row Tow operations enhancing their capacity and increasing their productivity.
Response
The funding for this request cannot be determined at this time.

Other NYPD facilities and equipment requests
Explanation
Currently, Brooklyn does not have the capability to regularly tow heavy vehicles such as a semi-truck or a bus. Instead we have to rely on a special tow truck to be dispatched from Manhattan periodically. Brooklyn must have its own designated heavy load tow truck.
Response
The Brooklyn Tow Pound is now equipped with a heavy duty tow truck.
