De Blasio’s Charter Revision Commission seeks term limits for Community Boards
Neighborhood community boards are in for major changes if voters approve a series of recommendations made by the mayor’s Charter Revision Commission that stand a good chance of appearing on the ballot in the Nov. 6 election.
In an effort to increase diversity and to add new voices to community boards, the commission is calling for term limits to be imposed on members. Under the proposal, board members would be limited to four consecutive terms with each term lasting two years.
The term limits proposal, along with other possible changes to the City Charter suggested by the commission, would have to be filed with the City Clerk’s office by Sept. 7 if they are to appear on the ballot in November.
