Brewer Asks About Charter Revision Commission Suggestions

New York City Council · Jul 7, 2026 · starts 0:37:31 · 57 sec

Brewer asks if the groups made suggestions to the Charter Revision Commission. Foss indicates they have not pursued that route for these issues.

Gale A. Brewer

And are there suggestions that you made to the Charter Revision Commission that is currently meeting that are relevant to this topic?

Gale A. Brewer

I know they're two separate issues.

Gale A. Brewer

I find sometimes, I know this is not appropriate to say, going to the public on these nuanced issues can be complicated.

Gale A. Brewer

That's why I like a commission, because those folks are invested.

Gale A. Brewer

To the credit of the mayor, in my opinion, he picked three of the best possible people to be on this commission, because they have the knowledge and the background.

Gale A. Brewer

And they do understand the nuances.

Gale A. Brewer

They do understand the budget, and they do understand city government.

Gale A. Brewer

So I think this is a better route, personally.

Gale A. Brewer

But I didn't know if there was some other route you also, charter-wise, should be considered.

Member of the Public - Rachel Foss

I don't think so.

Gale A. Brewer

I mean, I don't.

Gale A. Brewer

I just don't know how you felt about it.

Gale A. Brewer

I don't have any other questions.

Gale A. Brewer

Anybody else?

Gale A. Brewer

No?

Gale A. Brewer

Okay.

Gale A. Brewer

Thank you both very, very much for everything.
