Committee reopens appropriations section after unanimous motion
Summary
Commissioner Quinteros moved, and Vice Chair Butler seconded, to reopen section 1,001 (appropriations) for discussion; the committee approved the motion by unanimous roll call and will consider adding language to allocate equipment as well as funds to boards and commissions.
The committee voted unanimously to reopen section 1,001 for discussion after a motion by Commissioner Quinteros and a second from Vice Chair Butler. The motion passed on a roll‑call vote; chair said the revised meeting table will show section 1,001 open for discussion at the next meeting.
In the ensuing discussion Commissioner Quinteros proposed a narrow amendment: add the phrase "and equipment" after "funds" so that the annual budget provides for both funds and necessary equipment (for example, a computer or projector) for boards and commissions. "Just because we have the funding doesn't mean we have the equipment," Quinteros said. The committee did not formally adopt text at this meeting but recorded the recommendation for staff to include language for follow‑up.
