It seems the CB is a non-elected body which contributes to governmental decisions that affect our community, such as granting liquor licenses or determining the height/use of new building developments. Granted, the CB has no statutory power but it probably has some power of persuasion, as it nominally speaks for “us”, the community.

I think it would be helpful to know the names and contact info of all CB members, so that people who are not on the board, or can’t attend the monthly meetings, can make their voices heard.

Do they publish an agenda? Would be nice if it was reproduced here.

Working late so certainly won’t make it tonight (this makes me a yuppie now?)… it doesn’t sound like the “dorm” issue is going to be brought back until spring according to the Daily News anyway, though.
