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
Reconstruct or upgrade a park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)
Explanation
Provide funds for upgrades to Frederick Douglass Playground and the Happy Warrior Playground. The Frederick Douglass Playground needs a total renovation of the playground, handball courts ($350K) and a comfort station. It is used by a large population because it is adjacent to the NYCHA complex, Frederick Douglass Houses, and several area schools. The Happy Warrior Playground needs upgrades for the basketball courts, the multipurpose area/athletic field needs to be redone completely because it has a big dip which collects water. These two areas should be done at the same time. The Department of Parks has advised that the asphalt field receive synthetic turf treatment. Better accommodation for staffing is also needed at Happy Warrier.

Other capital budget request for NYCHA
Explanation
Provide free high quality and safe broadband for all New York City Housing Authority households, to ensure access for educational, tele-health, social services, economic and workforce opportunities. Community Based Organizations will need to assist with providing training to residents. A NYC Government analysis of the economic impact of access to broadband shows that it will have a favorable impact on residents and the city. Broadband is essential for those seeking employment opportunities, access to medical care, quality education and social services. The lack of broadband access during the Pandemic has been a major hardship especially for families with children unable to keep up with course work, young people needing to join the workforce and seniors.
Response
This project is ongoing. The Community Board should contact the agency for a status update.

Explanation
Secure funding for continued renovations of the New York Public Library Bloomingdale Branch, including refurbishment of the upper floor (e.g., children?s area and community rooms) and reconstruction of the facility?s basement to facilitate a broad and flexible community purpose.
While the first floor of the library has been renovated, the upper floor has not and requires renovation to offer quality services. The basement area has been vacated since 2016 except for ad-hoc staff use and housekeeping storage. It is elevator accessible, making it friendly to people with disabilities. The area is prime for development that can better serve the varied needs of the community.

Request
Provide new homeless shelters or SROs
Explanation
Create a Safe Haven Shelter to address the rising number of those living on the street in Community District 7. The Safe Haven model includes smaller facilities (50-60 beds) and supportive services, and is considered to be the most effective means by which to persuade those living on the street to accept an offer of shelter (Center for Urban Community Services). Providers who do street outreach report that most people reject offers of shelter if they are not proximate to the neighborhood to which they?ve become accustomed. Currently, Community District 7 has only one Safe Haven shelter; adding another would provide a valuable tool for street outreach teams working to move this vulnerable population off the streets in Community District 7 and into the shelter system.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: The Agency is continually evaluating shelter facilities across the boroughs. New shelter facilities are being brought online routinely to meet the needs of the client population.

Request
Improve trash removal and cleanliness
Explanation
Install additional solar trash compactors and trash cans in Community District 7 and restore litter basket collection to 7 days a week. Due to budget cuts at DSNY in 2020, sanitation conditions in CD7 deteriorated. The increase in Park visitors due to the Pandemic resulted in an increase in trash volume, which has contributed to flooding by clogging drains. The exposed waste, mostly food, has led to an explosion of the rat population. Solar trash compactors (such as the ?Big Belly'') are needed in Verdi, Strauss, and Riverside Park, as well as a variety of playgrounds in the district. Additionally, more trash cans are needed throughout the district - at least two on blocks with greenmarkets and one on all other blocks.
Response
Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.

Other NYPD programs requests
Explanation
Restore Overtime Funding for the 20th, 24th and Central Park Precincts. for crime reduction.
Crime reduction overtime is an effective way to supplement the ability of the police to respond to changing circumstances and create a presence when needed. With the use of certain data models for permanent assignment of officers, the use of overtime is needed to fill in gaps of coverage, respond to exigencies, and evenly distribute workflow, and will enable officers familiar with their own precincts to be the ones to respond to such exigencies and needs.
Response
The agency has not submitted a proposal to increase funding for this project. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.
