Episode Details

This video is part five of a multi-part series of a two-day symposium "Public Management and the Lindsay Years (1966-1973)", presented by Baruch College School of Public Affairs in collaboration with the Museum of the City of New York on September 29 and 30, 2010.

This session addresses the challenge of allocating limited resources to growing demand for service in Fire, Police and Sanitation Departments. Specific initiatives in these departments were undertaken to address this issue; they were the use of Tactical Control Units in the Fire Department, the Fourth Platoon in the Police Department and a revised Chart Day System in the Sanitation Department. Panelists include: E.S. Savas (Presidential Professor, Baruch College; First Deputy Administrator of NYC in Lindsay Administration), Herbert Elish (Chief Operating Officer, The College Board; Sanitation Commissioner in Lindsay Administration), and Peter Kolesar (Professor Emeritus, Columbia University Analyst; NYC Rand Institute during Lindsay Administration.)

Introductory remarks are made by the symposium's organizer, Stan Altman (Professor of School of Public Affairs and Director of American Humanics at Baruch College.)

This program was digitized, captioned, and made accessible in 2021 as part of "Uncovering CUNY'S Audiovisual Heritage," a preservation project funded by Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR).
