The New York City Charter mandates that each Borough President receive a capital allotment based upon a formula incorporating land mass, population and the City’s total capital budget.
Commencing in the early part of March, the Borough President’s first part of her Capital Discretionary program will begin, as per section 211 of the New York City Charter.
After the Mayor’s Executive Budget is released, sometime in early April, the Borough President will initiate the second part of her allocation process, as per section 249 of the Charter. The Executive process of the Capital budget, or the 249 process, is the allocated difference from the 211 process.
The City Council then deliberates on the budget in May/June and the new budget year begins on July 1.
Any City agency is eligible to
receive capital dollars. Other applicants must be community-based,
not-for-profit groups or organizations with documented
tax-exempt status pursuant to Section 501(c)(3). Such
organizations must also have an operating contract
