Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The City's fiscal year is July 1 through June 30. As such, the City Council annually adopts the City's operating and capital budgets for a single fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 in the subsequent calendar year.
The purpose of this item is to ensure the Measure U Community Advisory Commission (Commission) establishes a timeline with milestones to accommodate formal input into this schedule. As part of that process, staff recommends that the Commission establish a new FY2026/27 Budget Ad Hoc Committee that would be responsible for coordinating the development of recommendations between Commission meetings.
Attachment 2 is the Commission’s 2026 Measure U Budget Priorities, as proposed in the latest version of its 2025 Annual Report. These priorities may serve as a foundation for specific FY2026/27 budget recommendations to the City Council.

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: A primary purpose of the Commission is to ensure that the City Council’s Measure U spending decisions reflect community priorities. Authorizing an ad hoc committee to coordinate the development of recommendations prior to the City Council’s anticipated June 2026 final budget adoption will aid the Commission’s timely input into the FY2026/27 Budget adoption schedule.

FinancialConsiderations
