Here’s some info about CB6 from their website.
New York City is divided into 59 geographic Community
Districts, each one having an appointed Community Board. The Community
Boards are municipal bodies of up to 50 representative Board Members.
Board Members are appointed by their respective Borough President, half
of them at the recommendation of their local City Council Member. They
serve in a voluntary capacity for two year staggered terms. Board
Members are your neighbors – people who live, work, own a business, or
have some other significant interest in the Community District. The
Community Board hires a District Manager who is responsible for running
the District Office.To see the official list of Board Members of Brooklyn Community Board
6, as supplied by the Office of Brooklyn Borough President Marty
Markowitz go to the CB6 website.
Brooklyn Community Board 6 (CB6) meets on the second Wednesday of each
month, except during July and August. All meetings are open to the
public. In an attempt to maximize accessibility, the general meetings
are held at different locations within the district.Brooklyn CB6 represents the neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens/South
Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, Columbia Street District, Gowanus, Park Slope
and Red Hook. From the Buttermilk Channel to Prospect Park, 104,054
people (2000 Census figure) choose to call CB6 their home.Community Boards in general have three distinct areas of focus – land
use, budget, and service delivery. CB6, in its advisory capacity,
sponsors public meetings where topical issues involving the projects,
programs and policies that affect the district will be presented,
discussed and, at times, debated in an open forum.
