CityCouncil | 2016-06-07 | 20 | Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft and Oddie - 3. Noes: Vice Mayor Matarrese and Mayor Spencer - 2. *** Mayor/Chair Spencer called a recess at 9:32 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:39 p.m. Councilmember Daysog stated as a result of the Balanced Revenue Index (BRI), as revenues come in, labor gets a portion of the upside so the City is never ahead of the curve; the deficit is not being driven by the addition of three new workers; Council's responsibility to the residents of Alameda is to keep City Hall running and fill the vacancies. Councilmember Daysog moved approval of staff's recommendation on the budget with two modifications: not include increases on the City Council side and if cuts are to be made, General Fund and non-General Fund point of contact services, such as Library and Parks Departments, are prioritized. Councilmember Daysog's motion failed for lack of second. Councilmember Oddie moved adoption of the resolution approving and adopting the operating and capital budget mid-cycle update for FY 2016-17. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion. Under Discussion, Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired what amount public safety derives from the BRI as part of the labor negotiations. The Assistant City Manager stated the labor contracts were approved included increases tied to the BRI for public safety; as part of the labor contract, public safety employees are also contributing to an Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPED) Trust. Mayor Spencer called the question. Councilmember Oddie seconded calling for the question. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft, Oddie and Mayor Spencer - 3. Noes: Councilmember Daysog and Matarrese - 2. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mayor/Chair Spencer adjourned the meeting at 9:49 p.m. Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council and the Successor Agency to the Community Improvement Commission 6 June 7, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-06-07.pdf |
