On 05/01/2025, the administration released the executive financial plan for FY twenty six to twenty nine with a proposed FY '26 budget of $115,100,000,000.

CFB's proposed FY '26 budget of $109,500,000 represents less than 1% of the administration's proposed FY twenty six budget in the executive plan.

This is an increase of 98,100,000.0 from the 13,400,000.0 originally budgeted in the preliminary plan in January.

2:11:30

This increase is a result of campaign match funding.

2:11:34

As of March 2025, CFB has 39 vacancies relative to its FY twenty five budgeted headcount.

My questions will largely focus on vacancies and oversight of public matching funds.

I now wanna turn it over to my co chair for this hearing, council member Ressler, to give his opening statement.
