June 11, 2025 Councilor Morillo Morillo 01 – Motion to Amend the Budget to Transfer New Police Funding to Restore Parks Maintenance (Withdrawn) Motion to allocate one-time resources from the Portland Police Bureau to Portland Parks and Recreation to fund parks maintenance. • Increase one-time General Fund Discretionary resources by $2,000,000 in Portland Parks and Recreation to fund park maintenance program expenses. • Decrease one-time General Fund Discretionary resources to fund operating expenses in Portland Police Bureau by $2,000,000 to balance. • Update Attachments A-H as needed to reflect this change. Morillo 02 – Motion to Amend the Budget to Increase Transportation Network Company (TNC) Fees (Vote Passed) Motion to increase Transportation Network Company (TNC) Fees from the Mayor’s proposal of $1.30 to $2.00 for an estimated total of $5,000,000 in additional ongoing General Transportation revenue (GTR). • Increase bureau operating expenses and ongoing General Transportation revenue within Portland Bureau of Transportation by $5,000,000. • Update Attachments A-H as needed to reflect this change. Morillo 03 – Motion to Add a Budget Note Reestablishing Independent Programmatic Analysis within the City Budget Office (Vote Passed) Motion to Amend Attachment D and add a budget note to reinvest in the City Budget Office. The City acknowledges the critical role of the City Budget Office (CBO) in delivering independent, objective, and comprehensive analysis of bureau budget requests. Historically, the CBO has served as a cornerstone of Portland’s fiscal governance, leveraging institutional knowledge to assess program performance, scrutinize spending justifications and trends, and inform strategic policy decisions. For the FY 25/26 budget process, the discontinuation of comprehensive analyses of program, bureau, and service area budget trends has impeded the Council's ability to make informed decisions, leading to a reliance on bureau-submitted narratives without sufficient independent scrutiny. This shift has not only diminished the analytical depth available to decision-makers but has also resulted in a gradual loss of institutional expertise within the CBO. 44
