Oakland City Council District 2 Budget Town Hall Live With Council Pres Nikky Fortunado Bas The District Two Oakland City Councilmember and City Council President Nikky Fortunado Bas held this virtual meeting last week. She explains it below, from her newsletter: BUDGET TOWN HALL: As part of the process to begin developing Oakland’s next 2021-23 balanced budget, my office hosted a virtual town hall which you can view here. We reviewed budget basics, including how our budget is funded and how the source of funds determines how money can be spent. We explored deeper aspects of the budget with guest speaker Kristen Schumacher from IFPTE Local 21, including the importance of understanding the city’s consistent projected deficits versus actual surpluses, police overtime overspending using city revenue surpluses, and the growing vacancy issues in city departments since the last recession. Thank you, Kristen! We shared preliminary findings from my office's budget survey and highlights from the city’s official budget survey. We answered community members’ questions on a range of topics including parks, public safety, and addressing homeless encampments in D2.If you haven't already, please complete our budget survey here; we’ve extended the deadline until mid-April. Next week, look out on social media for the release of our survey in Chinese, Vietnamese and Spanish, and our budget priorities memo.
