REV, Attachment 1, under
Recommendations 23-105 to:
1) Revise the “Response” to the
following: “Response: The
recommendation requires further
analysis”; 2) add to the first
(NOTE: Not subject to Mayor’s veto) paragraph “The recommendation is unclear and cannot legally be
implemented to the extent that
implementation would require this
Council to pass an ordinance
requiring future councils to expend
funds in a specific way each year for
an undefined length of time”; 3)
replace “However” with “Currently”;
4) add a third paragraph “While the
recommendation as written cannot
be implemented, the City Council will
consider a future action to encourage
the allocation of funding yearly for
street paving activities, as long as the
action allows for a majority of the
Council to waive the requirements.
Allocating funds for street
maintenance activities will need to be
evaluated along with the City’s other
critical funding needs (including
requests for public safety,
environmental health, economic
opportunities, and critical
neighborhood services and
infrastructure) during the appropriate
budget deliberations. Further analysis
is required on the most appropriate
legal vehicle for Council
consideration”; and 5) request the
City Attorney and Independent
Budget Analyst work with District 5
to bring forward the ordinance within
Recommendation 23-106.)
