2018 Community Board Profiles Members and Demographics Report Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams 1 Table of Contents Filling vacancies and ensuring inclusion 3 Community Board 1 5 Community Board 2 10 Community Board 3 14 Community Board 4 19 Community Board 5 23 Community Board 6 28 Community Board 7 32 Community Board 8 37 Community Board 9 41 Community Board 10 45 Community Board 11 49 Community Board 12 53 Community Board 13 57 Community Board 14 62 Community Board 15 66 Community Board 16 71 Community Board 17 75 Community Board 18 79 2 Filling vacancies and ensuring inclusion When the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President (the Office) has a vacancy on any one of Brooklyn’s 18 community boards, it is brought to the attention of the Brooklyn borough president. The appointed liaison of those boards reviews the applications of those who were not appointed during the general process and selects an individual based upon how often they attend the meetings, their community involvement, and their career background. Other selection criteria may include factors that would increase the diversity of representation on the board, including age, gender identity, geographic location, and race/ethnicity. If the council member has a vacancy on the board, it is brought to the attention of the Brooklyn borough president’s board liaison and/or community board office, and the Office reaches out to the council member's office to inform them that there is a vacancy. The council member will provide their recommendations to the Office to determine who would be the best candidate. The council member and Brooklyn borough president, or deputy Brooklyn borough president, will discuss the potential candidate(s), after which time they decide together who would fill that vacancy on the board. Residents who live, own a business, have an interest, or work in the community are invited to submit applications to become a member of the board. All applications are formally reviewed in the beginning of the year, and those who apply for reappointment are considered based on their activity on the board and in the community, as well as their attendance record. The application is available online on a rolling basis to encourage a diverse, robust pool of submissions year-round. Removal of community board members is predicated on the rules and bylaws of each respective board. Every board stipulated, if their member has excessive, unexcused absences, then that member will be voted off the board. The board’s chair or manager will notify the Office and will send the member a written notification to advice of the removal. The Office strives to appoint an equal number of men and women to the board, and for those individuals to reflect the demographics of the greater community board district with regard to their age, disability status, ethnicity, gender identity, geographic residence, language, race, and sexual orientation. Based upon the applications received, the Office relies upon the abilities of the Brooklyn borough president’s board liaison and council members to recommend individuals who can represent and speak to the concerns and needs of where they live and are from within the district because they have a concentrated perspective of their own district. Disclosing one’s demographics on the applications is optional. It was mandated that the Brooklyn borough president’s board liaisons make public announcements at every meeting between September 2018 and February 2019 to encourage people to fill out an application to be considered for the board. The Office also sent out a press release to newspaper publications to inform the community that they can apply to their local community board; the announcement was also e-blasted to the Office’s mailing database, was printed in the Brooklyn borough president’s “One Brooklyn” newspaper, and stays on the Office’s website. In addition to online applications, paper applications are also accepted. Some applicants expressed hardship with regard to utilizing computers, and the Office wanted all who wished to apply to have equal access to 3 the application process. The deadline for application submission was February 15, 2019. Once all the applications were submitted, the review process began, at which time the Brooklyn borough president’s board liaisons were provided with all of their board’s applications to review. The first to be reviewed were those applying for reappointment; they were considered based on their attendance record and their involvement in the community board. Poor attendance was grounds for an applicant to not be reappointed. If there were vacancies or anticipated vacancies, as a result of individuals whose term was due to expire, new applicants would be considered to fill those seats. In addition to the liaison’s review, the deputy Brooklyn borough president reviews all of the applications received. Based upon the aforementioned criteria, the deputy Brooklyn borough president will select applicants who she feels meet the minimum threshold. The Brooklyn borough president’s board liaisons fill out a worksheet that indicates whose term is due to expire and who is up for reappointment, as well as which seats may be vacant, if applicable. Those recommendations are made based on the aforementioned criteria. The liaison will meet with the deputy Brooklyn borough president to review and discuss the recommendations. Once they have met to discuss and agree upon the most formidable candidates, council members are then provided with all of the applications that correspond to their district for review with a copy of the aforementioned worksheet for them to use in order to submit their recommendations. Council members are invited to meet with the deputy Brooklyn borough president to share their recommendations and to discuss prospective board members. The council members are provided one month to submit their recommendations to the Office. After the recommendations from the council members and the Office are received, the Brooklyn borough president and deputy Brooklyn borough president will review the community board worksheets, and have a discussion based upon the meeting held between the deputy Brooklyn borough president, council members, and the Office’s liaison, with the Brooklyn borough president to make the final determination as to who will or will not be appointed to the community boards. New applicants appointed to the board are reviewed based upon how often they attend Community Board meetings, their vested interest in serving on the board, their community involvement, and their career background. Other criteria include factors that would increase the diversity of representation on the board, such as their age, gender identity, race/ethnicity, and geographic location in the district. 4 Community Board 1 435 Graham Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11211 (718) 389-0009 Leadership District Manager: Gerald A.

    New York Legislators Call on Cuny Administration to Stop Cuts and Layoffs

    NEW YORK LEGISLATORS CALL ON CUNY ADMINISTRATION TO STOP CUTS AND LAYOFFS May 27, 2020 William C. Thompson, Jr. Chairperson, Board of Trustees The City University of New York Félix V. Matos Rodríguez Chancellor, The City University of New York 205 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10017 Dear Chairperson Thompson and Chancellor Matos Rodríguez: We write as elected officials of New York City and New York State who strongly support The City University of New York. We want to express our concern about plans announced by CUNY colleges to lay off hundreds of adjunct faculty by May 29 and cut course offerings for the fall by as much as 35 percent. New York will need CUNY more than ever as we seek to rebuild the economy. The communities that have borne the greatest loss of life and employment during the pandemic are exactly the communities whose members rely on CUNY and who will turn to CUNY to rebuild their lives. New Yorkers from all parts of the city and surrounding region will need CUNY as they seek to gain new skills and earn college degrees. Reduced course offerings, fewer faculty and over-sized classes will leave CUNY under-prepared to support the students whose need for support is greatest. A strong and fully staffed CUNY is a unique and essential resource for New York’s recovery. While we are painfully aware of the budgetary crisis facing the City and State, we believe that the CUNY administration should pursue every alternative before reducing course offerings and enacting mass layoffs. The CARES Act allocated more than $100 million to CUNY for institutional support during the crisis, with an explicit provision about keeping employees on payroll.

    CUNY Student Journalists Tracking Hate Incidents

    CUNY student journalists tracking hate incidents By: SHARON CROWLEY POSTED:DEC 27 2016 06:40PM EST UPDATED:DEC 27 2016 06:55PM EST NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - Since Election Day, the New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force has seen an increase in the number of reported hate crimes, including one against one of their own officers of Muslim faith. CUNY Professor Jere Hester, the news director at the Graduate School of Journalism, says one way to keep attention on hate crimes is the newly founded Hate Index. He and other professors, students, and volunteers use the website to track reports of hate crimes around the country. It is a record of alleged crimes like anti-Semitic graffiti recently discovered on the campus on Nassau Community College and reports of verbal insults and other incidents of intolerance. The increase in reports of hate crimes has caught the attention of U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. She recently spoke about it during a visit to Harvey Milk High School in Manhattan. The CUNY professors involved in working on the Hate Index also can tell who is looking at the website. They say it has hits from people all over the country. It has also caught the interest of members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Justice Department Predictions! Experts Look Ahead to 2017 in New York Politics December 28, 2016 | by Ben Max As we usually do around this time of year, Gotham Gazette asked New York politicos to look into their crystal balls for predictions for the year ahead.
