Speaker 0: Thank you, Madam Park. The bill passes as amended and the chair will sign it and assist the clerk. Please affects my signature to the legislation. Okay. Will the clerk please read agenda item 11 into the record? Agenda Item 11 Resolution.
Speaker 3: 31954 relating to the city's.
Speaker 0: Annual budget process, stating a 10th of the city will consider a one year budget proposal for 2021. Only answer preceding resolution 28885 to the extent inconsistent committee recommends the resolution be adopted as amended. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Casmir Muscovite, you are the sponsor of this resolution and are recognized to address this item. Thank you, Madam President. This resolution moves us towards a goal that I have been asking for since becoming budget chair. And I think it's really important that we look at the details in the proposal that was sent down. I want to thank Council Member Herbold for flagging this in our earlier conversations as well. One really important thing that you will see here is the amendments that we have made to Resolution 31954. Each year the council goes through a budget process, and even years like this one, we endorse a budget for the auditor. This provides some guidance, but no concrete stability to departments. I'm really looking forward to making sure that we provide concrete, transparent, accountable information that can go between branches of government and can be shared with the public to flesh out a process in the next few months here that I hope will work for long term planning and long term stability as we seek greater outyear forecasting to allow for the Council to deliberate on items in front of us so that we can make sound financing, sound financing decisions, in particular during this economic downturn that we're in. Moving towards a shorter budgeting process makes sense to be able to do a truly reflective two three to truly reflect economic conditions. But we also must continue to have biannual budgets and seek further analysis for outyear conversations around our budgeting to ensure stability and transparency with the public. Those are the amendments that we've included today. Appreciate all of your support on that and look forward to working with you as we finalize details on what that process will look like. Thank you so much, Councilmember Musketeer, for that description of this particular resolution. Are there any other comments on the resolution? Councilmember Verbal, please.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I really appreciate Jerry Mesquita for bringing forward her amendment. This amendment address my concerns about the diversion proposed by the mayor to not just establish a one year process for 2021, but also repeal the resolution that was adopted back in 1994 to establish a two year budget process. A two year budget process provides counsel and the public greater transparency, as well as a better opportunity to plan for four out years. So keeping that as the default process makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the focus on and Councilmember Morales I'm sorry, customer mosquitoes amendment on increasing transparency for both the council and the public. And I also want to give a shout out to central staffer Tom Meisel. I know the he wrote a budget a budget issue paper on this. And I definitely appreciated the analysis that he did that made me think twice about the the mayor's resolution. And I lost track of it. The good work that he had done in that in that budget issue paper. And again, really appreciate chair Ms.. Ada bringing it back before us.
