Council tables proposed charter change to combine clerk/treasurer and comptroller, schedules public hearing May 5
Summary
Council introduced Local Law No. 3 of 2026, a proposed charter amendment to establish a combined city clerk/treasurer and city comptroller, and voted to table the law pending a public hearing set for May 5 at 5:30 p.m.
The Common Council introduced Local Law No. 3 of 2026 — a proposed amendment to the city charter that would create a combined city clerk/treasurer and city comptroller position — and voted to table the measure so a required public hearing can take place.
The chair explained the law requires a public hearing before the council may act and proposed scheduling that hearing for Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 5:30 p.m., immediately before the council’s regular meeting. The council voted to table the law and set the hearing date by roll call.
No public hearing testimony on the law occurred during the April 21 meeting; the transcript records the tabling motion, the roll-call vote and the scheduling of the hearing. The council said it will consider the law after that public hearing.
