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
Renovate interior building component
Explanation
The Dewitt Clinton High School pool needs repairs. The students attending the high school deserve to have a fully functioning pool. A pool will encourage students to establish fitness routines that can help to prevent obesity and encourage lifelong healthy habits. Bronx County is currently the unhealthiest County in the State. Access to a pool, which could eventually even be used by the community, as it was years ago, would be a big help towards that goal.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Unable to prioritize funding for this project request at this time.

Request
Reconstruct or upgrade a park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)
Explanation
Fund repair of the Perimeter fencing at the Williamsbridge Oval Park (WBO) to address security issues. There are many portions of the current gate surrounding WBO Park where the iron fence is missing or has been compromised. This provided opportunities for individuals to enter the park after dark and cause a variety of disturbances for neighborhood residents or damage to the park's equipment or center. The repair of this fence around WBO Park will restore the first line of defense to the park and serve as a deterrent to vandalism and other quality of life issues.
