Under the Home Rule Act, only the council appropriates - that is, determines how monies are spent.  We will not be hostage to overspending — which by law are the responsibility of the Mayor and CFO to control.

Our Committee of the Whole meeting is adjourned. We will be back for our Legislative Meeting shortly.

Our pre-meeting breakfast meeting has finally concluded. We hope to get our Committee of the Whole meeting started before 12:45PM. We apologize again for the delay.

Apologies, but our pre-meeting breakfast meeting is still ongoing, so our Committee of the Whole meeting and Legislative Meeting will be starting late. We will let you know about an updated start time once we have a better sense.

The Committee of Whole is holding its budget markup for the agencies under its purview. Below is a summary of some of the changes the committee is proposing. The Committee report, linked below, analyzes requests, states concerns, makes revisions and offers recommendations.
