The Committee on Governmental Operations, State and Federal Legislation held hearings on Int 0398, which would change annual financial disclosure requirements for certain city officers and employees, and Int 0983, a bill setting compensation for the mayor, public advocate, Council members, borough presidents, comptroller, and district attorneys.
What was discussed
- Deputy Speaker Williams champions the elected-officials salary review (Int 983-A) and disclosure changes (Int 398) Deputy Speaker Nantasha M. Williams framed the day's Governmental Operations measures as building public trust: preconsidered Int 983-A implements the recommendations of the Quadrennial Advisory Commission for what she called a “transparent, independent, and predictable process” for reviewing
- Int 398 passes on the General Order; Int 983-A draws six dissents (42-6-1) Int 398 was coupled onto the General Order and adopted 49 to 0. The preconsidered Int 983-A on elected-official compensation was more divisive: Council Members Joann Ariola, Inna Vernikov, Phil Wong and Minority Leader David M. Carr voted no and Speaker Julie Menin abstained, with Majority Leader
