(City Council) Approve the Adoption of Priority Budget Funding in the General Fund
(when the City is in a Financial Condition) of the following Services for
Reinstatement: (1.) Frozen, Vacant Police Department Positions; (2.) Concrete
Maintenance Function; (3.) Pest and Weed Control; and K) Graffiti Removal (120.10)
Communication from Mayor Pro Tern Cathy Green transmitting the following Statement of
Issue: The city recently completed reducing the General Fund for the current fiscal year
by about $11 million. This included many difficult cuts that impacted a number of city
services. If and when the city is in a financial position to consider adding services and
functions back, I would like to see certain services have first priority. These services are
the funding and unfreezing of the vacant Police Department positions, the concrete
maintenance function, the pest and weed control service, and the full restoration of the
graffiti removal program. The one exception to this would be any program that clearly
produces revenue that offsets 100% of the new costs.
Recommended Action:
I move that the City Council adopt the above -described services. as the first to be funded
when and if monies become available before any services are restored in the budget:
