  • Small Business First Report
    Small Business First Better Government. Stronger Businesses. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 Small businesses strengthen New York City’s economy, anchor communities, create jobs, and add to the vibrancy of the City’s neighborhoods. Of the more than 200,000 businesses located in New York City, 98 percent are small (fewer than 100 employees) and 89 percent are very small (fewer than 20 employees). These small businesses employ more than half of New York City’s private sector workforce, and often provide a first chance for economic self-determination and a path to the middle class for their owners. Every day, however, small businesses face a variety of challenges, including multiple levels of government regulation. Steps have been taken over the years to improve New York City’s regulatory environment, but the complexity and number of requirements weigh heavily on small businesses that often have fewer resources to navigate government. In July 2014, Mayor de Blasio launched Small Business First, an inter-agency initiative led by the Mayor’s Office of Operations and the Department of Small Business Services to make government more effective and efficient in helping businesses start, operate, and expand. The result is 30 recommendations to greatly improve the City’s regulatory environment for small businesses and save business owners time, money, and hassle, as well as increase satisfaction with City services. To build the recommendations included in Small Business First, the City worked closely with small business owners, advocates, neighborhood and community leaders, and elected officials, to solicit ideas about how best to help small businesses. More than 600 unique comments and ideas were received detailing the specific needs of small businesses across the five boroughs.

Michael Appleton/Mayoral Photography Office LETTER FROM THE MAYOR Friends: Since this Administration took office five years ago, we’ve devoted ourselves to making New York the Fairest Big City in America. With crime at historic lows, Pre-Kindergarten for every four- year-old, and higher wages for working people, we’ve made significant progress. But there is more to do—and we are determined to make things even better. The Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) is a crucial tool in these efforts. It highlights the full breadth of what our government does, across programs vast and small, and invites every New Yorker to look at what we’ve achieved. For more than 40 years, the MMR has provided a transparent and open look at the leaders who serve this city. We’re proud to continue that tradition of good governance, and keep pushing for a city that is more fair and just for all.

A year ago, we unveiled Career Pathways: One City Working Together, a transformative plan to expand access to career-track jobs in fast-growing industry sectors, improve job quality, and foster a more cohesive workforce system. This progress report gives an overview of our achievements since releasing Career Pathways and the work that is currently underway. The City has both added and shifted our resources and policies towards training and education—reaching nearly 7,500 people through partnerships with community colleges through Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) and employers to build trainings that can lead to employment with growth opportunities and family-sustaining wages. We are beginning to move away from “rapid attachment” job placement, almost doubling our investment in skills training, and committing more dollars towards new models, including bridge programs and targeted entrepreneurship programs, serving over 18,700 New Yorkers—34% more than in FY 2014—combined. We have also begun building system-wide consensus around common definitions of job quality so that all agencies can work systemically to achieve this ambitious vision.

  • Invest in Human Services, Not Over-Policing Our Communities
    June 2nd, 2020 Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, NY 10007 RE: Invest in Human Services, Not Over-policing Our Communities Dear Mayor de Blasio, The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified what the community based organizations (CBOs) in the human services sector have always known about inequities that exist within the institutions that all New Yorkers rely on. The outrage that has been expressed in our city – and across the country – over the last few days is not solely representative of an isolated incident, it is a reflection of the anger and frustration that exists from inequity and injustice being born on the backs of communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers over and over again. A strong social safety net is the only way that our city survives a crisis. As we experience the unprecedented intersection of a health crisis, a social justice crisis, and an economic crisis that could devastate our city for years, even decades to come, not all City agencies are bearing the burden. We were dismayed to see that the FY2021 Executive Budget makes cuts to crucial programs and social services that serve the very communities who are being hardest hit by COVID-19 — communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers — while maintaining funding for the NYPD, an institution that too often fails to protect and serve, and disproportionately harms, these exact communities. Services like senior food programs, homeless services, youth development, employment programs, public health and others – proven tools that help us protect and serve communities – are experiencing more demand than ever before, but instead of enhancing funding to these programs, the City is proposing more cuts.

    May 9, 2018 Andy Byford President New York City Transit Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2 Broadway New York, NY 10004 Dean Fuleihan First Deputy Mayor Office of the Mayor, City of New York City Hall New York, NY 10007 Dear NYCT President Byford and First Deputy Mayor Fuleihan, We write regarding mitigation strategies related to the upcoming 15-month closure of the Canarsie Tunnel, which links Brooklyn to Manhattan on the “L” subway line. We acknowledge the steps that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) have taken thus far to propose plans for rerouting the 400,000 New Yorkers who rely on the L-train and for conducting outreach to the affected communities and our offices. However, we also want to request the MTA and the City take additional steps to minimize the impacts of the closure. We ask that the City and MTA identify the specifics of the proposed bus routes and present details to the relevant Community Boards before the MTA board finalizes the plans, in order to leave enough time to incorporate feedback from affected communities. We also ask that your agencies implement any necessary street use changes well in advance of the tunnel shutdown, so that commuters and traffic patterns can adjust. This would include making accommodations for deliveries in consultation with local businesses, determining routes and times for HOV lanes, implementing signage in accordance with any changes, installing fare collection machines, and making sure buses are purchased in advance and ready to be deployed. Introducing these changes early will facilitate their acclimation, and should help to reveal and address any unforeseen complications before the onset of the shutdown.

Back Cover: Chinatown. July 21, 2020. Ed Reed/Mayoral Photography Office. Mayor’s Management Report Preliminary Fiscal 2021 The City of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Dean Fuleihan, First Deputy Mayor Jeff Thamkittikasem, Director Mayor’s Office of Operations January 2021 Page iv MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and disrupted the city’s normal operations – not to mention the daily lives of New Yorkers -- but, at the same time, it has also necessitated innovative, immediate efforts to rapidly respond and address the pandemic. This year, the Preliminary Mayor’s Management Report (PMMR) hopes to highlight some of that response, as well as documenting the performance of the city, and its agencies, during these times. While the PMMR is full of important data and metrics, it cannot fully capture the efforts of the heroic, resilient efforts of New Yorkers to adapt to, respond to, and begin to reopen in the face of COVID-19. In accordance with the City Charter, this report covers the first four month of the fiscal year, from July 1 2020 to October 31 2020. Since then, we’ve seen a resurgence in cases, but we also have begun vaccinations citywide. This report will primarily focus on the state of the city during the reporting period, but will allow for additional context from November to January as is needed to provide accurate information.
