Commissioner Do presents an overview of TLC's preliminary budget for fiscal year 2026, highlighting key figures and changes from the previous year.
- The projected budget is approximately $58 million, with $45 million for personnel services and $13 million for other than personal services.
- This represents a decrease of nearly $2.3 million or 3.8% from the previous year.
- The decrease is due to the program to eliminate the gap savings initiative, resulting from less than planned contractual spending and vacancy reductions.
- TLC's authorized headcount for FY2026 is 546, a decrease of 9 from FY2025 due to reduction of unassigned heads.
- The agency is working with OMB and Mayor Adams to meet staffing needs by backfilling critical positions.

Next, I would like to preview TLC's preliminary budget for fiscal year twenty six which is projected to be approximately $58,000,000 broken down into 45,000,000 in personnel services and 13,000,000 in other than personal services.
4:12:19
This is an overall decrease of nearly 2,300,000 or 3.8% from the previous year.
4:12:25
This expected change is the result of the program to eliminate the gap savings initiative and is mostly due to less than planned contractual spending, vacancy reductions and efficiency in other than personal services.
4:12:39
Currently the TLC's authorized headcount is five forty six for fiscal year twenty twenty six, which in comparison to fiscal year twenty twenty five is a decrease of nine.
4:12:48
This is due to reduction of unassigned heads rather than a decrease in staffing.
4:12:53
TLC is working closely with OMB and Mayor Adams to meet our staffing needs by backfilling critical positions and we actually are in the process of hiring additional uniform team members.
4:13:04
The mayor has been a strong advocate for increasing the quality of life for all New Yorkers and understands that this is this that as an enforcement agency, TLC is a partner in this effort.
4:13:15
As we continue to fill vacancies at the agency, I'm proud to announce that 16 TLC enforcement cadets graduated from the academy in 2024 and now are keeping our city streets safe.
4:13:28
These new officers are the first class of the 100 enforcement officers that TLC committed to hiring at the last budget hearing using a combination of existing vacancies and new funding.
4:13:39
Throughout this year, we are continuing our efforts to hire and onboard 84 new officers until we reach this goal.
4:13:46
Overall, through strong management and savings, TLC remains in solid fiscal health and we will continue to monitor revenue collections and work with OMB to make adjustments as needed.
