THEY REPRESENT YOU

COMMUNITY BOARDS

Each of the 59 Community Boards is comprised of up to 50 unsalaried members, appointed by the Borough president in consultation with the Council Members who represent any part of the Board district. The Boards play an advisory role in zoning and other land-use issues, in community planning, in the city budget process, and in the coordination of municipal services. Any person with a "residence, business, professional or other significant interest" in a given area is eligible for appointment to the Community Board serving that area. Each Board hires a fulltime District Manager and other staff to run a district office that receives and works to resolve residents' service delivery problems. (excerpted from The Green Book, 2004-5, page 89).The Community Boards hold monthly meetings that are open to the public.
