Committee report from Finance Committee - October 26, 2020 (to be provided) <br /> Councilmember Bullock read the following report into the record: <br /> The Finance Committee met last Monday and considered Ordinance 20-2020 as proposed <br /> for substitution. This legislation would appropriate the third round of coronavirus relief <br /> funding from the state and county. It's been a real team effort. Our city has benefitted from <br /> that work and our city has done a good job of anticipating this and pursuing relief. <br /> Councilmembers should refer to page 10 of our docket, which outlines the proposed <br /> substitute version of the legislation that the committee recommended for adoption tonight. <br /> The total amount of relief funds goes into its own account as required by the rules. We're <br /> allocating expenses to this new fund. The chart shows that the emphasis of the funding is <br /> being applied to police and fire, our frontline safety forces' operations, salaries, and <br /> pensions. We agreed with that recommendation from the Finance Department and received <br /> an update from Director Rancatore on where our revenues stand. Tax filings and revenues <br /> have largely caught up with where we were at during the summer and the city is only a <br /> couple hundred thousand dollars below revenue levels from a year ago. The current year's <br /> budgeted an increase, so we're not out of the woods yet, but we may be able to break even <br /> before year's end. <br />
