In November 1989, New York City voters adopted an entirely new framework for City government. NYLS and the NYC Independent Budget Office (IBO) invite you to explore the legacy of New York City’s 1989 Charter, which transformed City government and led to the establishment of the Independent Budget Office.
Come discover the stories, impact, and future of these critical changes that continue to shape City governance.
Panels will address:
• Challenges the City government faced in 1989
• Transparency and effectiveness of the City’s budget process
• Engaging communities in accessing services and shaping neighborhoods
• Empowering public participation in City governance
