The order allows Adams to delegate mayoral power to Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom in the event that neither he nor Sheena Wright are able to serve.
The order broadens the power of Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom, who spearheaded work on the migrant crisis, in the event that First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright vacates or is unable to do her job.
The move may signal that the administration is being pressured to implement a clear transition plan in the face of Adams’ legal and political crisis. When reached by phone, Williams-Isom said she had already been informally assigned to assume the duties of mayor in the event Adams and Wright were both out of town or indisposed. She described the change as “pro forma.”The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Usually the deputy mayor for operations is the most powerful after the first deputy mayor," he said.Wright has faced intensifying scrutiny since earlier this month, when she was among the key administration officials who had their phones seized by federal agents. Wright’s partner, Schools Chancellor David Banks, announced Tuesday that he would retire at the end of the calendar year — and halfway through the school year.
