City Council to Consider Adopting Budget and Amendments Tonight
Tonight, beginning sometime after 6:30pm, the Oakland City Council is expected to adopt the fiscal year 2013-2015 budget (item #9). The importance of the budget can hardly be understated: this document will control the City’s expenditures over the next two years. The budget is where the Council is called upon to put its money where its mouth is; more than any other document, it reflects the values and priorities of our elected leadership.
In April the Mayor submitted her budget to the City Council, which proposes $487 million in appropriations over two years. You can find MOBN!’s discussion of the Mayor’s budget here, here, and here.
