PUBLIC OUTREACH AND INTEREST
No public outreach was required other than the notice of a public hearing.
COORDINATION
This report was prepared in coordination with the Finance Department Budget Bureau, the City Administrator’s Office, The City Attorney’s Office, and other City departments.
SUSTAINABLE
OPPORTUNITIES
Economic: There are no economic impacts associated with the production of this report.
Environmental
: There are no direct environmental impacts associated with the City Council action requested in this
report.
Race & Equity: Generally, the update to the MFS reflects increased costs to reflect cost recovery. This approach has been a long-s tanding practic e of the City that has not been examined through the racial equity practice framework adopted by the City in more recent years. Doing so would be a significant undertaking that would look at the impact and fairness of
the City’s fiscal reliance on fees as well as fines, in addition to the equity impact of how they are specifically structured and set. This would require a budget for consulting support to supplement the Finance Department’s capacity and timing that would allow completion of the study and recommendations well in advance of budget deliberations. This activity was not planned
or funded for this cycle and under current fiscal constraints is likely not to be feasible in the
next biennial budget. It is recommended, however, that this be bookmarked as a need to be addressed as soon as it is possible, to build out the City’s commitment to an equity c
entered budget.
