That this City Council discuss data from the FY 2023 budget hearings and assess the budget hearing process for FY 2024.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs24 Councilor Pineda Neufeld commented about last year\rquote s budget hearings and the level and tenor of the conversations that took place. She asked councilors to look at the data she presented as she explained her findings. She highlighted the time spent asking questions of department heads and the amount of funds being requested, through a gender lens. Councilor Burnley stated that the conversation with the Office of Housing Stability was supportive, and he didn\rquote t find it to be disrespectful at all, adding that he doesn\rquote t want to equate the length of a conversation with negativity. Councilor Gomez Mouakad said she sat in on these meetings and never saw such disrespect toward department heads and to city councilors, herself included. She said we need to recognize that we have inherent biases and she asked councilors to look at this seriously. Councilor McLaughlin said he hasn\rquote t considered this from the point of gender, and he feels that things have taken a harsher turn over recent years. He recounted that the last budget session became a performance instead of dealing with the nuts and bolts of the budget. He noted that the Council\rquote s only budget power is to cut funds, hence if the questions don\rquote t lead to an informed discussion about whether a department needs money or not, it shouldn\rquote t be discussed.\par Councilor Wilson said that he\rquote ll commit to reviewing how the Finance Committee handled last year\rquote s budget process to see if a pattern emerged. Councilor Pineda Neufeld acknowledged that some of last year\rquote s questions had to do with the workings of the departments rather than focusing on the financial aspects and she suggested some ways to improve the process, including having councilors submit in advance 4-5 questions for each department head, limiting the time allotments for department discussions, limiting responses from department heads, and being mindful about scheduling employees having parental responsibilities. Councilor Kelly noted that there was no follow up of the concerns she expressed during last year\rquote s budget process. Councilor Clingan commented that he doesn\rquote t want to feel constrained when questioning department heads.\cf1\f1\par }
