"The appointments complete a commission that Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced on Jan. 23 as an alternative to proposed legislation that would have automatically increased compensation for elected officials."
"The panel is expected to review salaries for City Council members, citywide elected officials and district attorneys and issue recommendations for consideration by the mayor and speaker."
"Carl, Lilliam and Larian have each spent their careers serving this city with integrity. I am confident they will approach this responsibility with the seriousness and independence it demands."
"The Quadrennial Commission plays an essential role in ensuring that any compensation decisions are made independently and transparently."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed three members to a commission tasked with reviewing salaries for New York City elected officials. This follows nearly ten years without raises and aims to provide an alternative to proposed legislation for automatic salary increases. The commission, chaired by Carl Weisbrod, includes Dr. Lilliam Barrios-Paoli and Larian Angelo. Their recommendations will be reviewed by the mayor and City Council Speaker Julie Menin, with any pay changes requiring City Council approval. Mamdani and Menin have both declined pay increases during their terms.
