Michael Appleton/Mayoral Photography Office. Mayor’s Management Report Preliminary Fiscal 2019 The City of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Dean Fuleihan, First Deputy Mayor Jeff Thamkittikasem, Director Mayor’s Office of Operations February 2019 Page iv MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR The Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) and Preliminary Mayor’s Management Report (PMMR) help the public better understand how the City is performing. The PMMR for Fiscal 2019, which covers the first four months of the current fiscal year from July through October 2018, communicates agency performance through quantitative metrics and qualitative descriptions, with each agency detailing how it advances equity in its work. Measuring and monitoring this data is crucial to our ability to reflect upon our efforts and their effectiveness; it is the foundation on which we hold ourselves accountable. It helps us look for ways to apply the successful elements of completed projects to both our current and future endeavors and provides us an opportunity to take stock of challenges in order to address them, supporting the City’s best work. While these reports have been published for more than four decades, they remain an important accountability tool today. At the same time, we are being thoughtful about how we can bring the MMR and PMMR into the 21st Century. The Mayor’s Office of Operations is currently conducting a review of these reports—and the processes associated with them—to identify more effective approaches to sharing this information and to improving performance management.

  • Written Testimony of “A Coalition of New York City
    Comments of the Partnership for New York City to the New York City Charter Revision Commission Thank you, Chair Benjamin and members of the committee, for the opportunity to comment on changes to the New York City Charter related to ranked choice voting. The Partnership for New York City represents the city’s business leaders and largest private sector employers. We work together with government, labor and the nonprofit sector to maintain the city’s position as the pre-eminent global center of commerce, innovation and economic opportunity. The Partnership urges the Commission to include ranked choice voting for all city primaries and special elections in the ballot questions to be submitted to the voters in November 2019. The cost of administering elections and the public funding of candidates mean that all taxpayers, including the business community, have an interest in ensuring the city’s election system is fair and achieves the goal of electing officials who represent their constituents. The city spends a considerable amount of money supporting elections. In 2017, the year of the last mayoral election, the city spent $17.7 million in public payments to candidates and nearly $30 million to administer the election. More recently, the city provided $7.2 million in matching funds to 11 candidates for the Public Advocate special election. Despite all of this funding, the outcome of city elections is not necessarily a true reflection of the will of the majority of the electorate. New York City often has very low voter turnout, particularly for primaries and local offices. For example, only 12% of active voters participated in the primaries in 2017.

  • Lincoln Center for the Performing
    2017/18 2017/18 Who We Are p. 5 Our Programs & Festivals p. 35 Our Friends & Finances p. 51 Haydn’s Enlightenment-era oratorio The Creation was transformed into an immersive theatrical experience by the Catalonian theater collective La Fura dels Baus. The production, at the Rose Theater, employed visual pyrotechnics, large helium balloons, a 20-foot-tall crane, and a 250-gallon water tank to produce a stunning portrayal of the emergence of life. Laurence Equilbey led the period-instrument ensemble Insula Orchestra, the accentus choir, and soloists. ii 1 Dear Friends: Over more than half a century, Lincoln Center has evolved to not only meet the needs of increasingly demanding audiences—we have led the way as one of the world’s most prominent performing arts centers. We have done so with one guiding principle: The arts are a civil right and should be available to all. Looking towards the next sixty years, it is clear that to remain committed to that principle, we have to be nimble and responsive to a rapidly changing world as well as to the diverse needs of our ever-expanding audiences. The arts mean different things to different people. For some, music, dance, and theater are a way of connecting to a shared history. For others, the arts are future-facing tools illuminating what is possible when we all come together, a platform for rethinking the world around us. As Lincoln Center, we have a responsibility to honor and serve both points of view—and all the artistic experiences that lie somewhere in between.
