Chair Gale Brewer introduces herself and welcomes Council Members Dinowitz, Wilson, and Morano. She outlines the two items for vote: a preconsidered bill increasing compensation for mayor, public advocate, council members, borough presidents, comptroller, and DAs, and Intro 398 making technical amendments to financial interest disclosure requirements.
Thank you.
I'm Gail Brewer, Chair of the Committee on Governmental Operations, State and Federal Legislation.
I would like to welcome my council colleagues who have joined us here today, Council Members Dinnowitz, Wilson and Marano.
Today, we are voting on Deputy Speaker Williams'bill, proposed pre-considered
intro, which would increase the compensation of the mayor, the public advocate, the members of the city council, the borough presidents, the controller, and district attorneys, although they have a slightly different way of doing it.
In addition, we will be voting on intro 398, which will make technical amendments to the annual disclosures of financial interests by certain officers and employees of the city.
