纽约市政府效率委员会发布五项修章公投提案：精简许可与合同、户外用餐改革与雨天基金规则，10月27日晚表决
位于纽约州纽约县的纽约市市长 Zohran Mamdani 设立的政府效率委员会（COGE，即2026年纽约市宪章修订委员会）10月27日发布五项最终公投提案与最终报告，主张修改市宪章中过时、不必要与重复的规定，让市政府运作更快、更有效率。委员会当晚5时在曼哈顿开会表决是否采纳最终报告与提案。
市长办公室介绍，这五项提案涉及的方向包括：加快许可与合同审批、为小商家省钱、加速住房与街道安全建设、强化财政责任。COGE 另建议并获市府采纳了一批机构内部流程改革；委员会同时强调，提速不能以牺牲劳工标准、安全与质量为代价，真正的效率来自倾听一线员工的专业经验。
小商家与倡议者随即公开表态支持。哈莱姆餐厅 The Edge 的共同店主 Juliet 与 Justine Masters 说，提案中的户外用餐改革让他们感到被看见：精简文书、取消不必要的罚款与简化复杂的监管要求，可以帮餐厅省下成本、夺回时间。未来论坛（Future Forum）创始人 Aaron Kinnari 则称赞提案为市府的雨天基金设立了有史以来第一个缴款目标，让好年景自动为坏年景留出缓冲，而不是靠希望行事。
COGE 的工作历时数月：在全市五区举行了10场公开听证，1,220名纽约人到场，264人现场作证，另收到603份书面意见。若委员会当晚表决采纳，提案将按修章程序推进，交由选民在公投中决定。
NYC Government Efficiency Commission Releases Five Charter Ballot Proposals, Votes October 27
The Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE), the 2026 New York Charter Review Commission established by Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City, in New York County, New York, released five final ballot proposals and its final report on October 27, proposing to amend outdated, unnecessary and redundant requirements in the City Charter to make city government work better and faster. COGE members were scheduled to vote on adopting the final report and proposals that evening at 5 p.m. in Manhattan.
The mayor's office said the proposals aim to speed up permits and contracts, save small businesses money, accelerate housing and street safety work and strengthen fiscal responsibility, and that the city is also adopting a set of internal agency reforms COGE recommended. The commission stressed that speed cannot come at the cost of labor standards, safety or quality, and that real efficiencies come from listening to the expertise of the workforce.
Small business owners and advocates quickly praised the package. Juliet and Justine Masters, co-owners of The Edge Harlem, said the outdoor dining proposals would reduce costs and reclaim valuable time by streamlining paperwork, eliminating unnecessary fines and simplifying complex regulatory requirements. Aaron Kinnari, founder of the Future Forum, praised the first-ever contribution targets for the city's rainy day fund, saying good years should automatically build a cushion for bad years rather than relying on hope.
COGE's work followed 10 public hearings across the five boroughs attended by 1,220 New Yorkers, with 264 live testimonies and 603 pieces of written testimony. If adopted by the commission, the proposals advance through the charter revision process to a decision by voters at referendum.
