NYC Community Board Tools
Working tools for improving how NYC community boards run: a member and leadership tracker for all 59 boards, a parliamentary procedure helper, an AI meeting review, and a citywide board scorecard, built alongside NYCuriosity’s recommendations for the Civic Engagement Commission’s Better Public Meetings study, plus Block Party, the searchable archive of four decades of Manhattan community board resolutions and meetings.
Meeting Improvement Prototypes · July 2026
Three working prototypes built to accompany NYCuriosity’s community board recommendations for the Civic Engagement Commission’s Better Public Meetings study.
Dashboard
Board Scorecard
Meeting lengths measured from 2,409 YouTube recordings across all five boroughs, filterable by borough and board: a 102-minute average, 32% of meetings running two hours or longer, and 14 boards with no recordings at all.
Procedure Tool
Robert’s Rules Helper
Pick what you want to accomplish and get the exact motion, the words to say, and whether it needs a second, debate, or a vote. Distilled from the City’s official parliamentary procedure guide for community boards.
AI Analysis
AI Meeting Review
Claude reads a real full board meeting transcript against the City’s procedure guide and returns a coaching report: what worked, where procedure drifted, and the one-sentence fixes that make the record airtight.
