RECOMMENDATION
Accept the Mayor’s June Budget Message for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and:
1. Accept the memorandum from Councilmember’s Doan, Campos, Casey and Mulcahy.
2. Accept the second recommendation from Councilmember Ortiz’s memo with the following change:
a. Direct the City Manager to return at the mid-year review with potential funding sources and/or tradeoffs for an additional $500,000 allocation for immigration services and emergency support for undocumented residents.
3. Accept the memorandum from Councilmember’s Cohen, Foley and Kamei on the condition that all funding is external to the City, and/or the remainder is paid from the District 4 Park Trust Fund and C&C funds.
DISCUSSION
The three memoranda submitted to the San José City Council on June 6, 2025, collectively advocate for strategic budget reallocations and investments aimed at enhancing community services, environmental stewardship, and public safety. These memoranda are crucial for the City of San José's budget as they address immediate community needs and long-term sustainability.
Enhancing support for undocumented residents aligns with San José's values as an inclusive city and addresses the current climate of fear and instability within our communities. This recommendation will generate pathways to double the initial $500,000 investment proposed within the Mayor’s June Budget Message; to support our immigrant families impacted most by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Balancing environmental priorities with the need to maintain essential youth services ensure both ecological and social needs are met, which ultimately leads to a well- rounded community.
Reinstating the MedXX program will allow the City to address emergency response needs, while delaying cuts to early childhood education programs ensures continued support for young learners, which is vital for our future workforce.
Collectively, these proposals reflect a commitment to equity public safety and sustainable development, making them essential considerations for the upcoming budget.
