SERVICE IMPACTS & EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS

Reductions

Other Impacts & Changes

1. Delays funding for 1.0 FTE Administrative Analyst and 1.0 FTE Executive Assistant to the Director for six months in FY 2024 and continues to freeze 0.5 FTE Cable TV Stage Manager from the FY 2022-23 Midcycle Budget. These positions support the Records Department which provides mandated service according to the Public Records Act, The Maddy Act, and the Brown Act. Delaying the hiring of these positions will require the current staff to fill in the deficit.
   • Equity Consideration: The Clerk’s office provides legally mandated services to members of the public, City staff, and other government entities. This includes providing legally mandated information across all access points (in-person and/or use of technology) and striving to provide information in various languages to ensure all residents have access to information. Having access to government, including well-publicized and accessible public meetings, is a racial equity issue because Oakland’s Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities face numerous barriers to be civically engaged in local government.
