 COMMUNITY BOARD BUDGE T P ROCES S
The FY 20 12 Register cont ains com munit y board bu dget
requests a nd agency fu nding recommen dations. It is t he
chart er m andated p roduct of a dynam ic and cyclical budget
proce ss wh ich include s pub lic testimo ny, writt en inpu t about
community ne eds, a nd con sultatio ns with city ag encies that
deliver local services.
At consult ations with cit y agen cies bo ards discuss com munit y
needs, ag ency policies a nd fiscal constraints. The
consultation format in each borough is individualized to meet
the n eeds of the community bo ard s. The FY 2 012
consultations consist of three different formats:
 Individual 25 Minute Me eti ngs- District consultat ions
in the spring followed b y boroug h con sult ation s in
Sep tember and Oct ober, at which a commun ity board
mee ts wit h con sulting ag encies at individual twenty-five
minute session s on a sin gle e vening. The bo ards bring
their most pressing conce rns to the attention of top
le vel decision makers at each agency.
 Group - All interested boards in the b oroug h meet
toge ther with an agency for an up to two hour
consultation. Many agency e xpense budg et decisions
have borough and citywide ramif ications which impact
all the boards in a similar fashion. The boards submit a
single agend a which covers areas of common interest.
Boa rd specific issues may also be in clu ded.
 Individual Meetings - Capital Intensiv e Agencie s

ag encies which pro vide most of the capital projects in
ea ch district. The Dep artm ents of Environmenta l

B oards an d agencies have suff icient time to d iscuss
th e stat us of capital projects as we ll a s expense budg et
service issues.
In Septem ber and early October, the FY 2012 borough
consultations consisted of 1 29 individual and 38 g rou p

01 212198023C Request: Demolish and Reconstruct a New 66th Precinct Station House on the This project is included in the ten-year
Footprints of Same. Acquire the Air Rights Over the Long Island Railroad to House plan.
Trailers Which Can Then Be Used, After Construction, as a Parking Lot for the New
66th Precinct.

Explanation: Although some construction has occurred at the Precinct, these modest
renovations are only band-aid in nature. Much more is needed to improve working
conditions. Good working conditions are conducive to fostering good police work.
Additional space is needed to house police officers and civilians and can only be
accomplished by demolishing the present site and building a new state of the art
Precinct. Money saved by not having to acquire land will pay for a new building. There
is no available land, private or City owned, in this district. Air rights over the LIRR can
be used to house trailers during demolition and construction and then be used as a
parking lot for personnel. This request is 30 years old. These plans and the start of
ULURP applications must begin ASAP.

2011.
Explanation: With the Annex building already demolished for the intended use of this
now vacant lot for parking trucks, it is imperative that a sound barrier be built in back of
this lot which abuts the private homes on Dahl Court. We have been inundated with
complaints concerning noise and pollution from these trucks in the early morning hours
when trucks are revving up. Many of these homes were purchased when the Annex
was still on this lot and all trucks were housed there. Homes are expensive and owners
put a lot of money into them. They were not aware that the Annex would be demolished
and the lot would be opened for parking of Sanit. trucks. Without this sound barrier,
noise pollution will become a major problem and will greatly affect the quality of life for
these homeowners.

Explanation: During heavy rains, water backs-ups into the basement of homes causing
extensive damage. Sewer lines are too small as well as ancient and cannot
accommodate heavy rains, thus causing flooding into basements. Flooding occurs on
an ongoing basis along these strips causing financial strain to the homeowners. This
flooding has occurred over the last several years. Most complaints have been
registered with 311.

Explanation: Numerous children and adults must cross East 5th Street to go to the
other side of the Park in order to use the restrooms. This is a highly trafficked street
and with a high volume of pedestrian traffic going back and forth to use the restrooms
on the other side, a safety problem has been created. A restroom, especially for the
children using this park, is an essential to this playground. This past year, more and
more children and adults have been using the Ballfield. The need for a restroom inside
the playground has become imperative and with the crossing back and forth of

maintained as per the January plan.
Explanation: Some years ago, monies were taken out of the Community Board
budgets and were never fully replenished. Last year for the first time, the Commmunity
Boards' budgets were negatively impacted because the Boards had to partially fund
collective bargaining increases as well as the Mayor's Personnel Order for Managerial
Increases. With each new budget, the threat to cut the budget of the Community Boards
is always present.. Based on this, most Community Boards are operating on a deficit
unable to afford supplies and other amenities. The Boards' budgets must be increased,
not decreased.

funding.
Explanation: Community District 12 has over 300 Private Schools serving
approximately 185,000 children. The District also has 16 Public Schools which serve
approximately one third of the total enrollment of the Private Schools. Public School
attendance is dwindling in this District while Private School enrollment has increased.
Most of these Private Schools have year round lunch programs with perishable foods.
Private Schools only receive two pickups a week while the Publc Schools are picked up
daily. Private Schools are experiencing sanitary problems, because garbage must be
contained inside the building over weekends and for days at a time - causing rodent
problems and health problems. This is an issue of great concern which must be
addressed.
