Clerk of the Board presents $10.78M proposed budget; committee pushes for further savings and vacancy review
Summary
Clerk Angela Calvillo presented a proposed FY budget of $10.78 million, identifying advertising and IT savings to trim costs; the committee asked for further review of vacant positions, potential duplication with DCYF youth programs and continued cost controls ahead of the mayor’s June proposal.
Angela Calvillo, Clerk of the Board, presented the Board’s proposed fiscal year budget request of $10.78 million, explaining that follow‑up committee questions produced additional savings proposals: a $100,000 advertising reduction tied to pending rules committee clarification of the term "summary," deletion of proposed newsletter software, and phasing the replacement of 20 computers to lower near‑term cost.
Calvillo said the proposed salary budget is $7.66 million (about 4.8% above the current year) and that fringe benefit increases—driven by pension and health cost changes—account for most of the budget change. "The proposed budget meets our mandates and requirements by maintaining our existing resources," she said, noting no new positions were requested beyond $10,000 in temporary salaries.
Supervisors thanked the clerk for outreach and asked for further work on how vacant, funded positions might be deployed, whether youth‑commission costs overlap with DCYF activities, and whether the clerk could identify further materials or equipment savings. The committee filed the item for the record and directed continued conversation as the mayor’s budget process proceeds.
