Adjust 2009-10 city budget to match updated revenue projections
In Plain English
The city's spending plan no longer matches how much money it expects to collect this year. Revenue projections have changed since the budget was approved. If approved, the city adjusts spending levels to align with the new revenue estimates.

Adopt Resolution No. 98-09 the City budget as amended excluding layoffs unless brought back to Council
5 aye · 1 nay
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 5-1 to adjust the city's spending plan after revenue projections changed from when the budget was originally approved. The adjustment aligns spending levels with the new revenue estimates, but specifically excludes any employee layoffs unless the council revisits that option in a future meeting. Council member Maria Viramontes was the sole dissenting vote, while one member was absent. This type of mid-year budget adjustment is routine when cities need to match their spending to actual revenue collections.

Give the same consideration to the Planning and Building Department and not continue with layoffs until further research has been done
4 aye · 2 nay
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to halt planned layoffs in the Planning and Building Department while conducting additional research, passing the motion in a divided 4-2 vote with one member absent. This decision came as part of adjusting the city's spending plan to match revised revenue projections for the current fiscal year. Council members Corky Booze and Tom Butt opposed the motion to delay the layoffs. The vote means Planning and Building Department employees will keep their jobs temporarily while the council gathers more information before making final staffing decisions.
