  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

During the 2012 session, the Committee reported significant legislation that was later enacted into law to change the primary election date from September 11, 2012 to September 13, 2012. Under the New York State Election Law the 2012 fall primary election was scheduled for September 11, 2012. This legislation recognized and respected the significance of the anniversary of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks by rescheduling the 2012 fall primary for September 13, 2012. The Committee also enacted legislation to allow for the continued use of lever voting machines for school districts, villages and special districts in their respective local elections until December 31, 2014. Other legislative initiatives which the Committee reported and the Assembly passed include: ensuring the security of lever voting machines used in village elections; requiring voting material to be provided in Russian; prohibiting certain candidates for public office from serving as poll watchers; requiring absentee ballot applications for village elections to conform to state board of election absentee ballot requirements; providing that absentee ballots for all elections shall be made available in Braille upon the request of a blind or visually impaired voter; and amending deadlines to facilitate timely transmission of ballots to overseas military voters for primary and general elections.
