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 a council member has a vacancy on a 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, 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 that community’s board. All applications are formally reviewed in the beginning of the calendar year, and those who apply for reappointment are considered based on their prior activity on the board and in the community, as well as their board meeting attendance record. The application is available online 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 stipulates that if a member has excessive, unexcused absences, then that member will be voted off the board. The board’s chair or manager will then notify the Office and the board will send the member a written notification to advise 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 who are from within the district because they have a concentrated perspective of their own district. Disclosing one’s demographics on the application is optional. In 2020, it was mandated that the Brooklyn borough president’s board liaisons make public announcements at every meeting between September and the following February to encourage people to fill out an application to be considered for the board. The Office also sent out a press release to media to inform the community of the option to apply to local community boards; the announcement was also e-blasted to the Office’s mailing database, was printed in the Brooklyn borough president’s One Brooklyn newspaper, and remained on the Office’s website. In addition to online applications, paper applications were also accepted, since some applicants expressed hardship with regard to utilizing computers, and the Office wanted all who wished to apply to have equal access to the application process. The deadline for application submission is always in February. Once all the 3 applications were submitted, the review process began, at which time the Brooklyn borough president’s board liaisons were provided all of their board’s applications for review. The first to be reviewed were those applying for reappointment; they were considered based on each applicant’s 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 terms were due to expire, new applicants were 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 selected applicants whom are determined had met the minimum threshold. The Brooklyn borough president’s board liaisons filled out a worksheet that indicated whose term was due to expire and who was up for reappointment, as well as which seats might be vacant, where applicable. Those recommendations were made based on the aforementioned criteria. The liaisons met with the deputy Brooklyn borough president to review and discuss the recommendations. Once they meet to discuss and agree upon the most formidable candidates, council members are then provided with all of the applications that corresponded to their district for review, with a copy of the aforementioned worksheet for them to use in order to submit their recommendations. Council members were invited to meet with the deputy Brooklyn borough president to share their recommendations and to discuss prospective board members. The council members were given one month to submit their recommendations to the Office. After the recommendations from the council members and the Office were received, the Brooklyn borough president and deputy Brooklyn borough president reviewed the community board worksheets, and had a discussion based upon the meeting held between the deputy Brooklyn borough president, council members, and the Office’s liaison, leaving the Brooklyn borough president to make the final determination as to who would or would not be appointed to the community boards. New applicants appointed to the board were reviewed, based upon how often they attended community board meetings, their vested interest in serving on the board, their community involvement, and their career background. Other criteria included 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.
