SAN ANTONIO – Mayor Ron Nirenberg and City Council will meet on Thursday morning to discuss a proposed $2.9 billion budget.
The meeting is slated to begin at 9 a.m. via videoconference, but delays are possible. If there is not a livestream available, check back at a later time.
City staff said they will present a balanced budget despite an expected $127 million revenue shortfall in the next fiscal year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Proposed $2.9B FY21 city budget includes cuts but no layoffs amid $127 million drop in revenue
The proposed budget is $7.7 million less than what council passed for the FY 2020 but includes numerous cuts.
City Manager Erik Walsh said no city employees will lose their jobs, and despite a national reckoning over racial injustice and police brutality, it will not reflect any effort to “defund” the police as some activists have called for.
When protesters cry ‘defund the police,’ what does it mean?
Walsh said he is proposing a process that could lead to permanent changes.
Community services like libraries, youth programs and senior services should not see major changes with the proposed budget.
