At‑a‑glance: committee motions, procedural actions and next steps on the deappropriation package
Summary
The committee adopted the amendment of the whole for discussion, tabled Item 2, agreed to roll OEWD subobjects into a single line to preserve reprogramming flexibility up to a noticing cap, adjusted the fire department target and continued final action to a special meeting next Tuesday at 9 a.m.; controller certification is required before full Board action.
Key procedural actions taken by the Government Audit and Oversight Committee during the special hearing:
• Adopt amendment of the whole for discussion and table Item 2: Supervisor Aaron Peskin moved to adopt the amendment of the whole for Item 1 (the deappropriations and midyear adjustments) and table Item 2 (salary ordinance deletions), which the committee accepted without objection for the purposes of today's discussion. (Motion introduced SEG 297–301.)
• OEWD subobject consolidation: The committee, on motion by Supervisor Maxwell, agreed without objection to roll the Office of Economic and Workforce Development subobject line items into a single line to preserve the committee’s ability to reprogram within a capped dollar amount consistent with noticing rules (the controller and deputy city attorney confirmed the committee could reprogram up to $1,436,792 without additional noticing). (Discussion and motion recorded SEG 2184–2188 and SEG 2153–2161.)
• Fire Department adjustment: The Fire Department reported revised midyear reductions moving the department’s contribution from 1.57 million to 2.3 million in the amended package; the committee included that change in the amended ordinance for discussion. (Fire department update SEG 1902–1967.)
• Continuation and next steps: After extended department testimony and public comment, the committee continued the amended package to a special meeting next Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. in the full Board Chambers to permit further adjustments and controller certification; the controller’s office advised that to certify an amended ordinance in time for Board action they would need the final detail by the close of the committee or before Tuesday. (Continuation and adjournment SEG 5831–5844 and SEG 171–174.)
All formal committee votes to finalize any ordinance language remain pending controller certification and the next committee meeting. The public comment record will be part of the committee materials for Tuesday’s continuation.
