The District Manager
A District
Manager and the Board staff are hired by a Community Board
and serve at the Board's pleasure.
Community Board Staff
The District
Manager establishes an office, hires staff, and implements
procedures to improve the delivery of City services to the
district. District Managers play many different roles. They
are complaint takers, municipal managers, information sources,
community organizers, mediators, advocates and much more.
The main responsibility of the District office is to receive and resolve complaints
from community residents. Many Board offices have assumed the responsibility
of providing additional services. These might include assisting with Senior
Citizen Rent Increase Exemption Forms, Housing Assistance Applications, Half-Fare
applications, etc. They also process permits for block parties, street fairs,
etc.
In addition, some offices may handle special projects, including
organizing tenants and merchants associations, coordinating
neighborhood cleanup programs, publicizing special events,
and more, depending on community needs. |
