Borough president
A borough president is an elected public official responsible for oversight of a borough. The term borough is most commonly used in reference to the five municipal divisions of New York City: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Borough presidents are responsible for making budget recommendations to the mayor of New York, proposing legislation in the New York City Council, appointing borough representatives to commissions and boards, and holding public hearings on borough issues.[1]
