New York City Board of Estimate The New York City Board of Estimate was a governmental body in New York City, responsible for numerous areas of municipal policy and decisions, including the city budget, land-use, contracts, franchises, and water rates. Under the charter of the newly amalgamated City of Greater New York (passed in 1897, effective January 1, 1898) the Board of Estimate and Apportionment was composed of eight "ex officio" members: the Mayor of New York City, the New York City Comptroller and the President of the New York City Council, each of whom was elected citywide and had two votes, and the five borough presidents, each having one vote. The La Guardia Reform Charter of 1938 simplified its name and enhanced its powers.
