Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding: the real time financial forecasting tool; analysis of staffing levels in every department; a strategic plan for Human Resources to address staffing levels to support the organization; 20% reserve funds; Measure C forecast and unmet capital needs; cannabis tax rate; FEMA reimbursements; cannabis businesses that have not started operating; the estimate for a new Police building which was projected at $90 to $110 million; tax as a source of revenue; and reserve projections.

Mayor Halliday closed the public hearing at 7:46 p.m.
Members of the City Council expressed appreciation for the work of City staff, especially during COVID,
Council Member Zermeño made a motion to approve staff's recommendations and Council Member Wahab seconded the motion.

Council Member Andrews was concerned about relying on cannabis to generate revenue, expressed she would like businesses to start generating sales tax and find ways to help support further economic development, and recommended locating funds for public art as a preventative measure.
Council Member Márquez wanted to better understand staffing levels as well as outstanding infrastructure needs, reminded all that Measure C and the Utility Users Tax had sunset dates, recommended strengthening the Economic Development team for the high results it yields for the community, and reminded all to continue to shop in Hayward.
Council Member Salinas remarked that the reserve policy and budget policies came out of the economic downturn, and noted thoughtful disciplined actions taken over the years have yielded positive results, including through the pandemic.
Mayor Halliday stressed the importance of striking a balance, noted the City must continue to provide services to the public while noting that this year was the healthiest since she was in office, acknowledged ARPA funds helped during the pandemic, noted the City needed to maintain a healthy staffing level while balancing all needs, and suggested some changes could be revisited based on comments during discussions over the FY23 budget.
