Suspend all spending for new positions until the budget is completed

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously voted to freeze all spending on new positions until the city completes its budget process. This motion, proposed by Councilmember Viramontes, overrode the original agenda item that would have expanded an engineering recruitment contract by $54,000. The spending freeze means the city cannot hire for any new positions or pay outside firms to recruit for them until budget planning is finished. This affects all departments citywide and could delay filling vacant positions that provide services to residents.
