Through a comprehensive review of the City Charter, the Commission will focus on improving and restoring public confidence in city government by strengthening local democracy and enhancing government accountability and transparency.
The Commission is composed of 17 commissioners and includes representation for every New York City elected official. Nine of the commissioners are appointed by the Council Speaker and the remaining commissioners are appointed by the Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, and five Borough Presidents. It will undertake an open, inclusive process that prioritizes robust public engagement to utilize the input of New Yorkers and analysis from policy experts in the development of proposals that improve city government. The Commission will not be considering any proposals that weaken local democracy or New Yorkers’ rights.
