What happened
The council voted down the city's annual operating budget and 5-year capital improvement plan in a surprising 4-3 decision. Butt, Bates, Myrick, and Pimplé voted against the budget, while Martinez, McLaughlin, and Beckles supported it.
The council unanimously approved setting the legal spending limit for the 2016-17 budget year. California law requires cities to establish this spending ceiling based on population and inflation before adopting their annual budget.
