The 32nd Board of Representatives' Fiscal Committee convened on December 22, 2025, at 7:01 p.m., co-chaired by Earth Morrison and Andrew Zachary to review and approve a series of appropriations, resolutions, and grant agreements. The meeting focused on fiscal year 2026 funding, covering operational carry-overs, capital projects for utilities and transportation, public safety grants, sustainability initiatives, and technology infrastructure upgrades. All agenda items were discussed, with representatives seeking clarifications on project scope, costs, and implementation details before voting.
Okay, the time is 701 p.m. I'm going to call the first meeting of the fiscal committee of the 32nd Board of Representatives to order. I am co-chair Earth Morrison. With us tonight, are co-chair Andrew Zachary and Representatives Neil Goldberg, District 13, Kara Dorsey, District 5. No Representative Noel Apine, District 19, Representative Parker Johnson, District 6. And anybody else in there? I think that's it. That's about it. Okay. Item number one, F32.001. Additional appropriation, appropriation operating OPM purchase order requesting spending authority for prior year purchase orders to carry over several fiscal year 25 purchase orders into fiscal year 26 to maintain continuity of operation source of operations. Funding source, the fund balance, 107,521. Do I have a motion to take up item one? I will move it. I'm going to give our new members an opportunity to show the second. I will second. Okay, second. And with us tonight is uh assistant director of OPM, uh Bill McGuire. Bill, what do you have for us? Still good. Bill, can you unmute? There you go. Hello, are you here? Can I hear it? We can hear you, yes. Okay, sorry. Um yeah, so this is requesting the board's approval basically for for two fiscal 2425 purchase orders. Um, one related to the assessor's office of about a little over 47,000, um, another from the property reevaluation department of uh just under 60,000. Um it's basically giving us uh the giving us the spending authority to honor the existing commitments without needing to open um additional new POs. Um the primary reason for this particular request really is just due to the timing year-end of taxpayer claims uh related to like hearings and proceedings occurring towards the end of fiscal 25, so more in the the May-June time frame, uh, and it just caused delays in the billings of this. So um that that's really the rationale behind these two. Okay. I'll also note that we're joined by Representative Graham from District 3, Representative Campbellli from District 18. Any questions from the committee or members of the board? Representative Goldberg? Um, I noticed that you have attached a memo from April 5th, 2024. I was wondering if you could help me understand why you attach that memo and what its relevance is to an item in our 2025 or 2026 budget. Yeah, it's it's really just explaining the rationale like a lot of the this the whole process with these rolling over of purchase orders came into fruition, which kind of the the move into the Oracle reporting system, like in previous uh previous years when uh the old HTE system, they were allowed to um like the purchase orders were able to be used, um but with Oracle, they need to be closed on an annual basis to uh for the fiscal year closings. It was really just the rationale behind it, not necessarily anything specific to the dollar amounts being uh addressed here. Thank you. Any other questions from the committee or the members of the board? Seeing none, I'll try this by voice vote. All those in favor of item one, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Aye. Was that an opposition? Any abstain? Okay, item one passes unanimously. Item number two, F32.002 for 1,190,120, additional appropriation from the capital budget, project C 65200, citywide vehicle replacement and upgrade for the immediate purchase of three rear load rec use trucks and two asphalt hot box machines to reduce costs, improve citizen services, and decrease fix it complaints.
