Summary

This bill would increase the salaries of the Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Council Members, Borough Presidents, and District Attorneys by 18.2% since the last time their salaries were adjusted by local law, as recommended by the recently released Report of the New York City Quadrennial Advisory Commission for the Review of Compensation Levels of Elected Officials. It would change the timing of future Commissions to the third year of a term of office (rather than the first year) and provide each Commission with 120 days to complete their work.
