The NYC Industrial Development Agency (IDA):

The IDA has a 15 member board that in many cases overlaps with the board of the EDC. Five are appointed by the mayor on the recommendation of Borough Presidents, some positions, such as the City Comptroller, the City Corporation Counsel, and the City Planning Commissioner are automatically appointed "ex-offio." The remainder plus the chair are appointed by the mayor.
