Base Motion for Community Reinvestments
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2020 3:10 pm
Colleagues:
I think we are all OK with the Mayor's procedures for running the budget meeting. In the Mayor's post, he describes that we will start with a base motion.
Rather than begin with the City Manager's budget as the base motion, I believe we should have a base motion that incorporates the work done by the Mayor and Council Members. Rather than debating dozens of amendments that already seem to have majority (or unanimous) support, I recommend our base motion incorporate those amendments.
If you can support this idea, or have suggestions, please respond to this thread.
The following amendments (as laid out in the chart) would create a base motion:
• Harper-Madison 2 / Alter 4
• Harper-Madison 4
• Harper-Madison 6 ($200K one-time, $200K ongoing)
• Harper-Madison 7 (which can help fund Pool 3)
• Harper-Madison Budget Rider 1
• Harper-Madison Budget Rider 2
• Garza 1
• Garza Budget Rider 1
• Garza Budget Rider 2
• Casar 1
• Casar 2
• Casar 3
• Casar 4
• Casar 5
• Casar 6
• Casar Budget Rider 1
• Kitchen Budget Rider 1
• Kitchen Budget Rider 2
• Flannigan Budget Rider 1
• Flannigan Budget Rider 2
• Flannigan Budget Rider 3
• Pool 2
• Pool 4 ($100k one-time, $50k recurring)
• Pool 5
• Ellis 1 (with COs for trails and $300K in O&M)
• Ellis 2 (Budget Rider)
• Ellis 3
• Ellis 4 + Budget Rider
• Tovo 1
• Tovo 2
• Tovo Budget Rider 1
• Alter 2 + Casar 7
• Alter 3 ($1.4M recurring, $450K one-time)
• Alter 5/Casar
• Alter 6
• Alter Budget Rider 1
• Alter Budget Rider 2
This list of amendments would result in the spreadsheet we have been maintaining here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Any part of this could still be debated or modified after the base motion is made. A Council Member would just make another motion to make another modification or amendment.
After the base motion is made, we can use our limited time to debate those ideas where there are still questions or issues to be worked out.
I know there is unity on the dais on addressing safety, justice, quality of life, and civil rights with this budget. I hope this helps advance that. Please let me know your thoughts.
