*the government of ‘new york city’ is organized under the ‘new york city charter’ + provides for a “strong mayor-council system”*
.
(the mayor is elected to a ‘4-year term’ and is responsible for the administration of ‘city government’)
(the ‘new york city council’ is a ‘uni-cameral body’ consisting of ’51 members’, each elected from a ‘geographic district’, normally for ‘4-year terms’)
(all ‘elected officials’ are limited to a ‘3 consecutive-term limit’)
*OR “12 YEARS”*
.
(the ‘court system’ consists of 2 ‘city courts’ + 3 ‘state courts’)
(‘nyc government’ employs ‘325,000 people’)
(#4 for ‘american cities’)
#1 – ‘CALIFORNIA’
#2 – ‘TEXAS’
#3 – ‘NEW YORK’
.
(the government is more ‘centralized’ than that of most other ‘american cities’, with the ‘city government’ being responsible for…)
‘public education’
‘correctional institutions’
‘libraries‘
‘public safety’
‘recreational facilities’
‘sanitation’
‘water supply’
‘welfare services’
.
(‘nyc political geography’ is unique, consisting of 5 boroughs, each coterminous with 1 of 5 ‘counties’ of ‘new york state’)
‘manhattan borough’ –> ‘new york county’
‘queens borough’ –> ‘queens county’
‘brooklyn borough’ –> ‘kings county’
‘the bronx’ –> ‘bronx county’
‘staten island’ –> ‘richmond county’
.
(when ‘new york city’ was consolidated into its present form in ‘1898’, all previous ‘town’ + ‘county’ governments within it were abolished in favor of the present ‘5 boroughs’ + ‘unified’ / ‘centralized’ city government)
(however, each ‘county’ retains its own ‘district attorney’ to prosecute ‘crimes’, and most of the ‘court system’ is organized around the ‘counties’)
