The New York City Council isn’t giving up on its quest for more authority over city government.

City lawmakers voted this week to form another charter review commission after Mayor Eric Adams’ ballot proposals to rein in some of the Council’s power won voter approval earlier this month.

Speaker Adrienne Adams, the bill’s sponsor, would put nine appointees on the commission and would have the authority to appoint its chair. The mayor, public advocate, comptroller and president of each district would also each receive one designee.

The commission convened by the mayor earlier this year proposed two measures to change aspects of the Council’s legislative process, including how it passes public safety bills. This week’s vote is another bureaucratic chess move in a years-long conflict between the mayor and the city legislature.

“This commission will have the time and mandate to focus on the long-term well-being of the city, not just the short-term political gains of any incumbent,” Chairman Adams said before the Council’s vote on Wednesday.

The speaker said he was not looking to replicate the “rushed” process undertaken by the mayor’s commission. The mayor’s historic indictment on federal corruption charges has made him more vulnerable to political opponents than former mayors.

Speaker Adams said the Council committee will engage the public and develop proposals that intend to restore trust in municipal government “through an open, transparent and inclusive process.”

Spokesmen for the mayor did not immediately comment.

This summer, the mayor’s commission passed five proposals to be presented to voters in the November election. Four of them passed. Residents voted to expand the powers of the sanitation department and change elements of the Council’s legislative process, imposing tax reporting requirements on every bill and creating a new calendar for public safety bills affecting police, fire and corrections departments, among others.

Voters also favored additional planning requirements around city infrastructure. The only ballot provision that failed to win voter approval was one that would have enshrined the chief diversity officer’s role in the charter, changed the municipal authority responsible for permitting films and combined two archival agencies.

In late October, Mayor Adams was asked about the Council’s plan – which it was first reported by Gothamist — and the subsequent rumors that he was planning yet another commission to avoid the Council.

“You know, in those other places, in other countries, you don’t have those checks and balances,” Mayor Adams said at the time. “So if the speaker wants to make a committee, under the law he could do that. If we want to do one, under the law, we can do that.”
