Linda Tigani explains CORE's process for determining budget needs for the coming year. The determination is based on several factors, including public interest in CORE's work, understanding of charter mandates, and communication needs.
- CORE assesses volume and interest from the public to gauge community engagement needs
- They examine charter mandates to understand staffing and consultant requirements
- Communication needs, including licenses and programs for public outreach, are factored in
- Development of bylaws and the formal adoption process for community equity priorities inform budget calculations

did not participate in the council's preliminary or executive bud hearing this year.

How did Core determine its budget needs for the coming year?
1:57:34
So our determination for our budget needs is actually based on a few different pieces.
1:57:41
The first is being able to understand what's the volume and interest in core from the public so that we have a sense of how many conversations, how many organizations we need to be working with, and how many of those are hard to reach, how many of those may have a fiscal sponsor versus b of 501c3.
1:57:59
We actually used this first round of community we're using this first round of community conversations to better understand what is the payment that is needed to community organizations, to get the out right so that they can fully engage.
1:58:15
We also have been working to better understand each of our charter mandates and upon examine how much staff as well as consultants that may be needed.
1:58:27
Our communications team has identified a list of both licenses, as well as programs, whether they be advertising programs or else to properly communicate with the public because we do not we haven't done that yet.
1:58:43
We have to purchase some licenses and really raise our social media file, specifically so that we can engage with young folks.
1:58:52
And we have also began to draft our bylaws which I think is extremely important for understanding the ways in which commissioners are going to show up for core.
1:59:04
We expect those bylaws.
1:59:07
And really, the first step is the formal adoption process for community equity priorities to come this fall.
1:59:14
And so the calculations that were created were really based on staff time, as well as better understanding, you know, what are the complaints informally, just sort of questions about our work, and that particular mandate that we're getting to really estimate what we think we're going to get once we go live and we have a formal guidance on our website.
