“As a government, 1 of the most important responsibilities we have to the people we we represent in every borough and community is to deliver a city budget that reflects their needs and priorities,” Speaker Adrienne Adams said in opening remarks during the stated meeting. She and other council members listed amounts the council secured for education and social services during floor debate.

The council said it secured $112,000,000 in baseline funding for 3-K and pre-K and $125,000,000 for preschool special education. Members also highlighted $10,000,000 for expanding child care for children ages 0 to 2 and $25,000,000 for the Fair Fares program to extend benefits up to 150% of the federal poverty level. The council reported it won $50,000,000 in baseline funding for immigrant legal services.

The adopted plan, council leaders said, also increases operational support for libraries and adds funding for cultural institutions, parks workers and sanitation services. Speaker Adams credited the council’s bargaining for additional cultural sector funding in the executive budget and cited local awards that were included in the package, naming $5,000,000 for Joyce Theater, $1,500,000 for the Public Theater and $1,500,000 for Playwrights Horizons for local projects.

Council members described the budget as preserving vouchers and committing ongoing education funding while protecting programs the council said face federal pressure. Finance leadership noted the city has a substantial reserve and that council negotiators prioritized deploying funds to communities most in need rather than adding to reserves: “You can’t run a city on reserves,” a council finance official said during the floor Q&A.

The council also said the budget contains funds intended to advance mental-health and public-safety strategies tied to Rikers Island closure goals. Members said the plan includes targeted baselining that they described as the product of multiyear advocacy.

The vote on the budget and the related stated-agenda items concluded the council’s stated meeting; floor members then moved to topical questions and passed multiple introduced bills and resolutions during the same session.

The council’s adoption completes the formal legislative step for the city’s fiscal plan. Further budget modifications and agency-level decisions will follow in the coming months as the city implements the appropriation and monitors revenues and spending.","The New York City Council approved the city's fiscal plan June 30, securing baseline funding for 3-K/pre-K and preschool special education, additional child-care dollars, fair-fare expansion, immigrant legal services and increased support for cultural institutions and libraries.","actionData","errors"]
