Council requests for budget transparency and detailed data
Summary
Councilmember Bush repeatedly pressed for position-level detail, contract actuals, and org charts, saying the council can't give constructive feedback without understanding what it's cutting. The city manager noted three years of actuals were already provided and offered one-on-one department briefings before June 2. Council also directed the budget slides be reformatted to show multi-year actuals rather than adopted figures.
