The Older Americans Act, as well as the New York City Charter, requires the establishment of an advisory council to advise the Department for the Aging and its Commissioner. The advisory council consists of 31 members, at least 16 of whom are to be recipients of services for the elderly. The council members must include representatives of social services and health-related fields as well as the academic community and local neighborhoods. The members all serve without compensation and are appointed by the Mayor for three-year terms. Ten of these members (two from each borough) are recommended by the City Council.
