At the October monthly meeting of Community Board 14, the board voting unanimously in favor of the fiscal year 2013 budget priorities. Coincidentally, Comptroller John C. Liu was in attendance, and spoke about examining city agencies to make sure they utilize all their city money accurately.
The list of recommendations (which you can download as a Word doc here) will be sent to the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget, and when it receives the agency responses, CB14 will hold a hearing where the public can comment.
Some of the recommendations include:
* Establish a new elementary school within CD 14 to alleviate overcrowding
* Restore funding for acquisition new site for 70th Precinct; Increase personnel in 70th Precinct; Fund additional Crossing Guards for 70th Precinct
* Fund Commercial Revitalization projects on Flatbush Avenue, Cortelyou Road, Avenue J, Avenue M, Church Avenue, Newkirk Plaza and the Flatbush-Nostrand Avenue Junction
* Fund rehabilitation of the Kings Highway Malls jointly with DOT; and to include pedestrian ramps
* Increase and improve “Operation Clean Stretch” basket collection routes on commercial strips within CD 14
The recommendations are based on several factors, including ideas submitted by the community, and complaints that have been lodged with the board.

Community Board 14 has announced that Doris Ortíz, who has served as District Manager for the past four years and has been involved in the Board for more than three decades, will be retiring on July 1.
Doris has been an invaluable resource to the community, always readily available and able to help with the things residents have had problems with. Her many accomplishments include, as Borough President Marty Markowitz said in a statement, “ensuring the MTA’s Brighton Line rehabilitation project had minimal impact on the community; working to establish Cortelyou Road and Flatbush-Nostrand Junction as retail destination hotspots; and helping teens find jobs by establishing youth conferences at Brooklyn College.”
Doris tells us she’ll be sticking around the neighborhood, and now that she will have some more time, she plans on enjoying what we’ve got to offer. “My commitment to the area is still strong,” she says, “and yes, I do look forward to enjoying the area.”
So who wants to apply for the job? The Executive Committee has authorized the formation of a Search Committee to recruit, interview, and make a formal recommendation to the Board on the hiring of a new District Manager. They’re accepting cover letters and resumes until May 31. There is more information about the position and how to apply at the CB14 site.
