Fy2011 & Fy2012 Museum of the City of New York BIENNIAL REPORT FY2011 & FY2012 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE RONAY MENSCHEL DIRECTOR Council, the Office of the Manhattan Borough President, and the Executive Budget of the City. These public grants total $64.6 million. We are exceedingly grateful to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. Many of our supporters know that the Bloomberg administration brought us downtown, in October, 2011, to take on the management of the South Street Seaport Museum. Managers uptown at the City Museum took on a second job downtown and a staff of approximately 25 was hired to curate and install exhibitions, create school programming, and re-organize the archives and library.

  • The Man Who Saved New York
    Introduction ate one afternoon in May, 1980, Governor Hugh L. Carey and an assis- Ltant counsel were returning to his offi ce after a public event marking the fi fth anniversary of the court consent decree to close the Willowbrook Development Center in Staten Island, New York, a nightmarish institution for the developmentally disabled. Carey’s aide, Clarence Sundram, knew that throughout his political career in Washington and Albany, the governor had dedicated himself to the needs of the disabled. As their car carried them back toward Manhattan, Carey turned to face Sundram, saying that while people would probably credit him fi rst and foremost with rescuing the city and the state from the brink of bankruptcy during the great New York City fi scal crisis of 1975, he personally was proudest of signing the legal agree- ment that began the process of fi nally placing Willowbrook’s poorly served residents in small neighborhood group homes and day care sites around the state. It was a long-overdue step that set a humane standard for the treat- ment of the retarded. For any politician, merely rescuing New York from the cliff ’s edge of economic collapse would have been accomplishment enough. But Carey, fre- quently mistaken during his extensive career for a traditional Irish-American machine politician, harbored a principled and progressive sense of public responsibility and purpose. Unlike many contemporary politicians who infl ate a kernel of achievement into an exaggerated resume while relying on armies of consultants, speechwriters, and pollsters, Carey led a substantial life. He grew up during the Great Depression, fought in World War II and helped liberate a Nazi death camp, and ran for Congress.

In actually quite a literal way…we took advantage of the zoning code that does allow the building to be bulked up to seven or eight stories, I think it’s six and a half or seven now, and so that was the first important step. The next was the choice of materials, the details of the window openings, the chimney pots on top of the building, which are real fireplaces below, the little, and they’re wonderful little apartments…That building does reinforce my, at least my contention that––or, my beliefs”… “And yet, the building seemed to encourage yelling and screaming, and not just the community planning board, you know, ‘We’re losing the Village!’ and then it all subsided, and a lot of people think it’s been there forever.

  • Public Authorities in New York State
    Public Authorities in New York State Citizens Budget Commission April 2006 Public Authorities in New York State FOREWORD Founded in 1932, the Citizens Budget Commission (CBC) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan civic organization devoted to influencing constructive change in the finances and services of New York State and New York City. During 2003 the role of public authorities in providing state and local services became a controversial issue, in part due to studies and investigations completed by the State and City Comptrollers and by legislative oversight committees. While these studies were useful CBC was concerned that the attention was focused too narrowly on what might be atypical abuses rather than the more significant long-run issues and broader perspectives, including a recognition that public authorities with appropriate controls have and continue to serve important public objectives. The leadership of the CBC therefore decided early in 2004 to initiate a study of this important topic. At the invitation of the Commission’s chairman, H. Dale Hemmerdinger, we agreed to lead the ad hoc Trustee committee that would oversee this effort. The following Trustees volunteered to join this research committee: Paul Alter, Paul Bader, Paul Balser, Stephen Berger, Kenneth Bond, Lawrence Buttenwieser, Herman Charbonneau, Stephen DeGroat, Douglas Durst, Roger Einiger, Bud Gibbs, Kenneth Gibbs, James Haddon, John Hallacy, Walter Harris, Fred Hochberg, Deborah Jackson, David Jones, Jerome Katz, Eugene Keilin, Walter Kicinski, Peter Kiernan, Bill Lambert, Andrew Lynn, Robinson Markel, Steven Polan (Co-chair), Hector Prud’homme, Alfredo Quintero, John Rhodes, Edward Sadowsky, Deborah Sale, Richard Sigal, Emanuel Stern (Co-chair), Kevin Willens, and Nancy Winkler.

  • PFNYC Transportation Study
    Transportation Choices and the Future of the New York City Economy 2003 | 2004 Partnership for New York City INTRODUCTION The vitality of New York City’s economy is highly dependent on a modern, efficient mass transportation system that connects the city’s current and future centers of employment to the regional labor pool. The availability and adequacy of mass transit are major factors in business location decisions, driving demand for commercial real estate and dictating patterns in job growth. Despite their critical importance to business and economic development, major investment decisions on transportation projects are typically made with- out meaningful consultation with the business community or a careful assessment of long-term contribu- tions of a given project to expansion of the city’s economy. The Partnership for New York City represents business leaders who are committed to economic develop- ment and job growth in the five boroughs. Future economic growth will require substantial investment in new and improved mass transportation that not only serves commuters but also links the city’s various busi- ness districts to each other and to the airports. Even more important, improved rapid transit will open new areas for development in all boroughs and encourage the development of the city’s underutilized waterfront. The result will be an expanded tax base and additional revenues to support further investment. Regional transportation experts have suggested a menu of desirable transit investments, which could cost more than $50 billion over the next 10 to 20 years. That amount does not include the money required to maintain the current transit system in a state of good repair.
