The Select Budget Committee considered OIG 101 on Oct. 30, a proposal to add $50,000 to the Office of Inspector General to move a community-engagement position from half-time to full-time. Council member Kettle, sponsor, said the expansion is needed so the OIG can effectively engage community partners and communicate with the public, particularly in the context of recent tentative agreements and reforms affecting accountability partners.

Kettle said a 0.5 FTE was insufficient and that a full-time coordinator would improve OIG capacity to conduct community outreach and support accountability work. Council members Solomon and Rivera added their names as cosponsors on the record. The transcript records the sponsorship and cosponsorships but does not include a recorded committee vote on OIG 101 during the Oct. 30 meeting.
