For weeks, members of District 29 have been getting together and brainstorming ideas on how to spend the $1 million budget that Council Member Karen Koslowitz has funded towards the community. It’s now time to take a step further into the process known as Participatory Budgeting.

Residents can now take the suggested ideas, ranging from safety improvement and upgrading neighborhood schools, and develop them into concrete proposals. To do so, there needs to be community members willing to take on the role of PB Budget Delegates. The delegates will meet just once a month from November to March.

Working with a committee of their own interest, such as parks, education and transportation libraries, the delegates will be able to develop projects. The job also entails conferring with city agencies and preparing the proposals to be ballot ready for the district wide vote in April.

If you would like to become a Budget Delegate, you can call Council Member Koslowitz’ district office at 718-544-8800 or email Alex Anderson at alanderson@council.nyc.gov.

If you’d like to see the ideas brought up in past meetings or if you’d like to submit your own ideas, you can go to http://ideas.pbnyc.org/page/guidelines. Hey, it’s a lot of power for the greater good of the community!

  2. Valuable information. Lucky me I discovered your web
    site unintentionally, and I’m surprised why this coincidence didn’t happened earlier!
    I bookmarked it.

  3. of course like your web-site but you need to
    take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are
    rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand I’ll definitely come back again.

    Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was
    super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to
    the whole thing. Do you have any points for beginner blog
    writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

  6. you are truly a excellent webmaster. The website
    loading pace is incredible. It kind of feels
    that you are doing any unique trick. In addition, The contents
    are masterwork. you’ve done a fantastic job in this subject!

  7. A few hours ago, I randomly got up at around 3 AM, still thinking about
    the anime Kaiji. It’s crazy how much it sticks with you.

    Something cool I found out is that many of the games in Kaiji
    reflect real-life underground gambling strategies. No
    wonder it feels so real.
    Still wide awake, so I found this deep-dive blog post that went into
    the realism of Kaiji’s gambling scenes. If you
    like that kind of stuff, it’s a must-read.
    Still riding the mental high, I opened up my regular
    slot site and played a few rounds. I picked Book of Dead—something about the
    vibe just matched.
    You’re not going to believe this—I scored a grand.
    Blew my mind. What I always enjoy about Book of Ra
    is how those bonus rounds come out of nowhere and flip everything.

    So now I’m wondering… was it pure chance? Or was that destiny?

    Anyone else ever feel something similar?.
