Finance Chair Bullock delivered the following oral report: The committee met immediately prior to this council meeting, and we began, but did not complete, deliberation upon nineteen proposed council budget priorities. We also reported out favorably the quarterly transfers and advances ordinance, which is only on second reading tonight, but the committee recommended approval of that. Regarding the council budget priorities process, we heard a little less than half of the proposals, but we were able to spend some time with reasonable depth about an exciting new proposal to expand the skate park. Five or six members of the public spoke eloquently and with passion and there was another two dozen citizens who raised their hands in support. We also asked if any citizen present was in opposition and none were, so unanimous supportfi^om citizens for thatproposal. So, we got off to a good start and look forward to learning more. We will need to find more time on the schedule somehow to continue our discussions and that's all to be figured out in the near future.
