Yonkers Insider: Yonkers City Council: Yonkers Budget Approval! - May 28, 2021 By Yonkers City Council Majority Leader Corazon Pineda Issac 2nd District.

 


The City of Yonkers Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget was adopted with a 7-0 vote today, by the Yonkers City Council. This year's budget is a $1.25 billion budget, which saw an increase in the allocated funds for the Yonkers Public School District, including:

Key highlights 
  • $12 million increase to the Yonkers Board of Education 
  • $2 million for which I personally advocated, to restore the much needed Junior Varsity Sports, for our high school student-athletes
  • 22 additional Music and Arts Positions 
  • 7 additional Librarians 
  • 8 Physical Education Positions
  • 8 Career and Tech Education Positions
  • 5 Foreign Language Instructors
  • 53 School Counselors, Social Workers and Psychologists 
  • Additional Nurses 

I advocated for funding to support the Montefiore Nurse Family Program which supports young mothers and provides at home visits from baby birth until the age of two. 

I also advocated for the allocation of money which allows us to get 300 families off of the Section 8 vouchers waiting list and provide more people with housing. 

Furthermore, the City of Yonkers Fiscal Year 2022 Adopted Budget included a reduction in Property Tax Levy, which ultimately amounted to a 0% tax rate increase. There were also ​no reductions in City services or positions. 
In regards to Capital Improvements, the City of Yonkers Budget allocated:
  • $10 million Downtown Waterfront Park 
  • Millions of dollars for General Park Improvements 
  • Bonding for Apparatus that help our emergency service responders further protect residents 
  • Millions of dollars for Infrastructure Investments 

Thank you to Mayor Mike Spano, as well as the other members of the Yonkers City Council for doing their best to create a fair and progressive City of Yonkers Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Adopted Budget. With the well-being of our residents and community at the forefront, we were able to not increase taxes as well as make a huge investment towards our education system. Thank you to everyone for helping make and keep Yonkers Strong!



Best regards,
