CityCouncil | 2017-03-21 | 17 | Mayor Spencer stated that she disagrees; General Fund expenditures are critical to the long-term health of the City; Council had many questions; she would like to be able to communicate with the public and give them a chance to come back. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved adoption of the resolution. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion with a comment that he treats a mid- year budget adjustment differently than two-year budget; he will be looking carefully at what is projected; money was not being spent form the Ground Emergency Medical Transportation funds (GEMT) which means something is not getting done; he would like to know how the next two years will play out; there are overly conservative numbers that make the budget less real than he would like. The City Manager stated the GEMT was a one-time unanticipated additional revenue from reimbursed charges for transport from previous years; the UUT revenue will be reviewed at the two-year budget. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft, Matarrese, Oddie and Vella - 4. Noes: Mayor Spencer - 1. *** (17-198) Mayor Spencer moved approval of hearing the referrals before the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) matter [paragraph no. 17- 1. .
