The Department of Neighborhoods will not be defunded under the failed ordinance, after council members cited food insecurity, homelessness, and demand for resident assistance. Council approved revised investment policy language and multiple financial actions, including a $203,342.37 supplemental appropriation and $68,650.42 and $57,920.89 transfers to the debt service fund. Council also amended some proposed procedures, including reducing public-comment speaking time from five minutes to three, but a final vote on the complete rules package is planned for a future meeting.
