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
Create or promote programs for education and awareness on preventing chronic diseases including quitting smoking, nutrition, physical activity, etc.
Explanation
We must take action to reduce obesity and diabetes among area residents. We support programs such as the DOHMH's Shop Healthy Initiative to bring healthier foods to local stores. Expansion of the FRESH program, which offers benefits to supermarket owners to provide a certain level of affordable fresh produce, would help address the lack of access to healthy food options. More frequent farmers markets would provide residents with access to affordable fresh produce. Lastly, recognizing that poor nutritional habits are often a result of other factors, such as stress, incorporating mental health education and coping techniques with nutrition education can prove beneficial in a variety of ways.
Response
Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Request
Provide better park maintenance
Explanation
In order to properly maintain the 7,096 acres of parkland in the Bronx, Parks seeks additional staffing. We are requesting additional permanent City Park Workers who clean and cut grass in the parks on a regular basis. It would also allow Parks to staff more sites regularly with ?fixed post? employees as opposed to the use of mobile crews to service certain sites. We believe that where possible, a dedicated presence of on-site maintenance staff can allow for more ?caring? and detailed maintenance of the park. We are also in need of more Associate Park Service Workers, who haul away trash, drive large vehicles and lead crews in the field. In addition, seasonal staff augments the fulltime staff during peak season and are essential to the level of maintenance needed.

OMB supports the agency's position as follows: The Parks Department would support this request for personnel.

Explanation
NYPL is focused on bolstering program services across branches to restore and exceed pre-pandemic patron engagement levels. By prioritizing youth and education with an emphasis on teens, the Library aims to lessen disparities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately impacted school-age children. Over the last year, the Library has made investments in teen centers. This also includes supporting educators through the Center for Educators (CES), which provides educators with resources for lessons, projects, and other activities. We are also committed to expanding adult services that provide professional development and skills training.

The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.

Request
Expand street outreach
Explanation
HOMESTAT should receive additional funding and be expanded to address street homelessness. Additionally, many people experiencing street homelessness choose to not go to shelters because of the harsh and unsafe conditions at those facilities. Conditions must be improved to provide temporary shelter to those in need and help them get on track to find stable, permanent housing. Enhanced security measures, including DHS police officers, and mental health support services focused on eliminating violent and destructive behaviors should be a priority.

Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.

Request
Provide, expand, or enhance after school programs for middle school students (grades 6-8)
Explanation
Community District Four's many working families and single-parent households require no-cost after-school care. Free after-school care allows parents to work and maintain employment, keeps children safe, and enhances children's educational attainment. It also allows families to use scarce financial resources on other pressing needs. Accordingly, we request that DYCD increase funding at existing organizations district-wide to provide after school programs. They should also partner with local schools to provide additional funding to site after schools programs. We also encourage the agency to find ways to employ youth constructively on a year-round basis.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: DYCD has increased funding in this service area.

Create or promote programs to de-stigmatize mental health needs and encourage treatment
Explanation
We have a number of facilities throughout the district for formerly homeless individuals and families. Many of these are individuals with a history of mental illness. While we do not advocate for any additional facilities of this type in our district, we do want to ensure that the individuals that are here receive proper care. DOHMH should work with DHS to identify these facilities and target those that would benefit from additional programming and/or services. Organizations such as Neighborhood Association for Inter-Cultural Affairs (NAICA) have demonstrated success in serving people in transitional housing and supporting them for up to one year following their move to permanent housing to ensure a successful transition. Such a model should be explored for expansion and replication.

Provide, expand, or enhance job training
Explanation
Unemployment is a key contributor to poor health outcomes of local residents. While unemployment both nationally and in NYC has leveled off, the Bronx, and to a greater extent, CD4 continues to suffer. Job loss combined with budget deficits will require creative long-term solutions to unemployment. We advocate for HRA to work with SBS, the Jerome Avenue Revitalization Collaborative (JARC), and community-based organizations to create more employment opportunities (training and job placement) for area residents. The city should also work with the Prisoner Re-entry Program to eliminate barriers to obtaining employment. Specific attention should be given to developing a healthcare workforce that is culturally competent workforce including Community Health Workers and home health aides.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: HRA's Career Services provides services to clients to assist them in developing job skills, obtaining employment, financial counseling and building sustainable careers that provide a path out of poverty.

COVID-19 has taken its toll on small businesses.

The City of Toronto has a business incubator program where they have stalls or PODS that small businesses can use rent free to create exposure and ultimately lead to a bricks and mortar location. A program like this could be piloted as part of city-owned developments as part of the long-term lease agreement.
