But a City Hall official said Thursday that Bernard Adams “proactively offered” to take an unpaid post after an initial discussion with COIB.

“Bernard Adams is uniquely qualified for this job, and in order to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest, he offered to serve for the nominal salary of $1,” said Max Young, the mayor’s communications director. “We made this proposal to the Conflicts of Interest Board and they’ve agreed, and we’re grateful to Bernard for being willing to serve the city for no salary.”

Daily News also reports that previous mayors had the same arrangements for employing their relatives.
