Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: Since January 2025, the Measure U Community Advisory Commission (Commission) has received 17 presentations from departments that receive Measure U funding. Historically, the Commission’s annual department presentation cycle begins in January of each calendar year. However, this year it became clear that it is not feasible to schedule presentations from all Measure U funded departments between January and April, prior to the Commission’s adoption of its budget recommendations.
To meet the Commission’s expectations, staff recommends an annual presentation cycle of June to March, in advance of the City Council’s budget deliberations each year. Staff prepared the draft 2026/27 Measure U Department Presentation Schedule below for feedback from commissioners. The draft schedule is based on the following guidelines:
1. Plan for one hour per department presentation; and,
2. Do not schedule more than two department presentations per meeting.
In addition, staff is exploring the feasibility of scheduling two meetings in April 2027 to ensure sufficient time for the development and approval of budget recommendations.
