Queens Community Board 14
Queens Community Board 14 is a local government body in the New York City borough of Queens. It encompasses the neighborhoods of Far Rockaway, Breezy Point, Belle Harbor, Neponsit, Arverne, Bayswater, Edgemere, and Rockaway Park. The board plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for all residents by addressing community needs and concerns.
History[edit | edit source]
The establishment of Queens Community Board 14 dates back to the 1970s when the New York City Charter was amended to create local community boards across the city. The aim was to ensure that local communities have a say in the planning and decision-making processes that affect their neighborhoods.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of Queens Community Board 14 is to advise elected officials and government agencies on matters affecting the welfare of the district. This includes land use and zoning issues, the city budget, municipal service delivery, and many other local concerns. The board also works closely with city agencies to monitor and improve the delivery of municipal services.
Structure[edit | edit source]
Queens Community Board 14 is composed of up to 50 unsalaried members who are appointed by the Queens Borough President, half of them upon the recommendation of the local City Council members. The board has a District Manager who oversees the daily operations and coordinates with agencies to resolve community issues.
Meetings[edit | edit source]
The board holds monthly meetings that are open to the public. These meetings provide a platform for residents to voice their concerns and for the board to discuss and make decisions on various community issues.
