District Manager
Each Community Board has its own office, District Manager, and staff. The District Manager and the Board staff are hired by a Community Board and serve at the Board's pleasure. 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 board's office is to receive and resolve complaints from community residents. They also process permits for block parties and street fairs, as well as, plan events and facilitate projects, such as organizing block associations and merchants associations, implementing neighborhood cleanup programs, and more, depending on community needs.
