Q&A

Wilson questions CEC on bills and district manager transitions

New York City Council · Jun 22, 2026 · starts 1:10:27 · 1 min 25 sec

Council Member Wilson asks if CEC has taken positions on Intro 501 or 322, and about the burden on boards facing both member term limits and potential district manager term limits. Saeed says any transition requires knowledge transfer support but CEC has not taken a position.

Carl Wilson

Thank you, Chair.

Carl Wilson

Thank you for your testimony.

Carl Wilson

So we have two bills before the hearing that, before the committee that we're considering today.

Carl Wilson

Has the CEC taken a position on either of these?

Sarah Saeed

We have not.

Carl Wilson

Is there, particularly with the...

Carl Wilson

Intro 501 that would set a term limit for district managers.

Carl Wilson

I'm curious if you think that there would be, what the burden might be on boards that are anticipating a changeover from their

with the term limits for existing

Carl Wilson

and then also pondering, and we're opining on a bill that would do that for district managers if there's concern about sort of the institutional knowledge and the ability of the boards to function with these changes.

Sarah Saeed

I can just say very briefly that I think any transition requires support.

Sarah Saeed

And making sure knowledge is transferred for the institution to continue, right?

Sarah Saeed

So regardless of how that transition happens, whether it's through a term or not, I think for the institution to continue to serve the public, it's very important that a knowledge transfer is arranged for.

Sarah Saeed

So that's my opinion on that.

Sarah Saeed

I don't know if, Benjamin, you want to add anything.
