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.

  • Financial Services Firm Looks to Grow NFL Team Program
    IEG SPONSORSHIP REPORT September 13, 2010 800/834-4850 | www.IEGSR.com STRATEGY Financial Services Firm Looks To Grow NFL Team Program Properties and other sponsors could emulate recognition overlay to reach targeted audiences. Based on the success of its four-year-old partnership with the NFL Seattle Seahawks and a Heroes in the Classroom activation program, Symetra Financial Corp. has expanded the marketing platform with new ties to the NFL Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears. The company also is considering deals with additional NFL teams, said Jim Pirak, vice president of corporate marketing and investor relations. “We plan to expand the program in 2011 and beyond,” he said. Symetra, which markets individual and group investment products and plans—including annuities, life insurance and retirement income instruments—launched its sponsorship push with the Seahawks in 2006 to accomplish two goals: raise awareness of the Symetra brand, and recognize outstanding teachers as a way to build relationships with school districts, one of the company’s markets for retirement plans. “The partnership has hit on all cylinders,” Pirak said. The company’s primary leveraging tool is Symetra Financial Heroes in the Classroom, a weekly program during the NFL season that recognizes teachers for exemplary leadership and instructional skills. In the Puget Sound area, educators are nominated for the award by their school principals. Teachers in Atlanta and Chicago are nominated by the public online through a form on Symetra.com. The form is promoted on the Falcons’ and Bears’ Web sites and through local advertising. Winning teachers are recognized in their classroom and at a game.
