After this week's two marathon public City Council hearings on extending term limits, Queens council members Hiram Monserrate and Helen Sears are still not sure how they will vote on extending term limits.

The City Council could vote as soon as Thursday on Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal to extend term limits from eight years to 12. If it fails, the mayor and two-thirds of the council will be forced out of office next year.

As of Saturday, only 15 council members have expressed support for the bill, far short of the needed majority of 26.

Queens Councilman Hiram Monserrate listened to the hours of testimony at two public hearings this week on the plan to extend term limits, but said during a Saturday interview in Jackson Heights that the issue still needs consideration.

“I've always believed the referendum vote is incredibly important but there are also other issues that have been raised about how the third term would be better, strengthening the legislative body which is the City Council,” said Monserrate. “So even though the vote potentially is only a few days away, I'm still undecided.”

Monserrate is giving up his City Council seat next year, but not because of term limits. He's running unopposed for the New York State Senate, so a special election will be held after Election Day to replace him on the council.

Councilwoman Helen Sears, whose district is right next to Monserrate's, issued a statement about why she is still undecided, saying there's no need to rush a decision.

But some district voters told NY1 that the decision on whether the mayor should be allowed to serve again is an easy choice.

“I think they should have made their mind up a long time ago, because so far I haven't seen or heard of anyone that could really follow his footsteps,” said a voter.

Monserrate said it's not that simple. He said he has been listening to residents and his fellow council members, and considering the pros and cons of voting to change the law.

“I think that it’s quite possible and the potential is very high that those members who vote no and stay in the body will probably not be on the best lists of either the leadership or the mayor,” said Monserrate.

Residents, however, say they don't care about the politics of it, and just know how they think Monserrate and Sears should vote.

“No. No, because its all about how much money you have,” said a voter. “If I have the money, I can do whatever I want to. He's a billionaire, why would you continue to go on? You had your time, stop.”

“We know what we have and we don't know what we're getting so we should accept it,” said another voter, showing support that the mayor hopes is echoed soon in the council.
