| 1 | 1. | Motion | MOTION, dated 03/18/2021, submitted by Councilmember Mann, Budget Policy Direction to City Administration for Recommended FY 2022 General Fund Operating Budget. WE MOVE that the City administration prepare a Fiscal Year 2022 Recommended General Fund Operating Budget which respects the following policy guidelines and priorities: 1. The Fiscal Year 2022 General Fund Operating Budget must be balanced. While continuing to strive to have a structurally balanced budget, the fiscal impacts of the pandemic may necessitate the use of one-time sources to balance in Fiscal Year 2022. 2. Given the projected $30.0 million gap between General Fund revenues and expenditures, federal stimulus funds should be used to offset the projected FY 2022 operating budget deficit based on the eligible uses of funds for pandemic related expenditures and/or loss of revenue.

| 1 | 5. | Motion | MOTION, submitted by Councilmember Goodin and Vice Mayor Smitherman, The Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) recently reported that its complement of uniformed officers stands below 1,000 for the first time in decade as a result of retirements and attrition. This reduction in force comes at a time when Cincinnati neighborhoods have been faced with a record number of murders, as well as an increase in property and quality of life offenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the community continues to seek thoughtful engagement between the Cincinnati Police Department and mental health and addiction service providers to, when appropriate, divert potential criminal defendants into treatment. Accordingly, WE MOVE that a portion of Cincinnati’s American Rescue Plan appropriation be committed to: 1) immediately fund a new CPD recruit class in 2021 to better facilitate community policing and criminal investigations; 2) fund additional training and police personnel for CPD’s Mental Health Response Team (MHRT); 3) fund training to better integrate the MHRT with existing mental | Held | |
