While San Diego\u2019s recently completed budget negotiations were far from smooth, Mayor Todd Gloria said they were more collegial than those one year ago and that the final budget is much more financially sound this time.<\/p>\n

The City Council unanimously approved the $2.2 billion budget a week ago, and Gloria chose not to use his line-item veto, which could have forced the council to consider volatile veto override votes like it had to last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone at the outset of this process would have envisioned a unanimous adoption of the budget and no line-item veto,\u201d Gloria said during a long interview in his City Hall office. \u201cI\u2019d like to think that\u2019s a validation of the process we followed this year, which was starting far earlier and involving council members much more directly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gloria said the new budget is more sound because it doesn\u2019t include any unvetted revenue ideas like paid parking at Balboa Park \u2014 an idea the council approved last year at the last minute, with limited to no analysis.<\/p>\n

Councilmember Kent Lee agreed Monday that negotiations went more smoothly this year and were more collegial, contending that\u2019s the result of everyone at City Hall wanting to avoid a repeat of last year.<\/p>\n

He said council members decided not to focus on generating new revenue, which limited the process primarily to weighing possible budget cuts against each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think as a city we all learned from last year\u2019s budget process,\u201d said Lee, who played a key role in this year\u2019s negotiations.<\/p>\n

Lee credited the mayor for sending the council a series of memos this winter seeking feedback on the city\u2019s financial challenges in several different areas, including homelessness, police and transportation.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

But Lee said despite the mayor\u2019s move to include the council to a greater degree in early budget evaluations, the initial spending plan the mayor released was still frustrating.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, the initial budget included a lot of cuts and changes that were surprises to both the council and the public,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

One such proposed cut was dramatically shrinking the December Nights holiday festival held each year in Balboa Park. While the mayor quickly reversed that cut, the proposal caused significant controversy.<\/p>\n

Gloria said that despite the relatively collegial negotiations and the absence of unreliable revenue streams, he\u2019s still somewhat disappointed in the new budget.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

His main objection is to roughly $20 million in new spending the council approved during the late stages of negotiations that he contends will worsen the city\u2019s structural deficit \u2014 a gap between projected long-term revenues and projected long-term expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe adding back of additional spending puts us in a position where we\u2019re going to have to do some version of this again next year,\u201d Gloria said.<\/p>\n

Lee said the final budget additions approved by the council were careful to tie any ongoing spending to ongoing revenues, contending such moves don\u2019t worsen the structural deficit.<\/p>\n

He also noted that by recently agreeing to slash trash fees in fiscal year 2028 and 2029, the city made it inevitable that the next two budget cycles will be contentious and require notable spending cuts.<\/p>\n

Gloria was particularly critical of a deal brokered by Lee and Councilmember Henry Foster to reverse proposed cuts to arts funding with the help of $6 million that had been earmarked for convention center expansion.<\/p>\n

While Gloria stressed that arts funding is important, he said it\u2019s time for the city to make tough choices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the city is struggling with its own finances, granting out funds to third parties is tough,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lee argued that using the convention center money for arts grants is a one-time move that won\u2019t worsen the city\u2019s structural deficit.<\/p>\n

The mayor also criticized the council for reversing most of his proposed cuts to operating hours at library branches and recreation centers, a move the council has made three years in a row.<\/p>\n

He said that in light of the structural deficit, it makes sense to limit hours or close some libraries and rec centers that are old and decaying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get frustrated by restoring hours of service at a rec center or a library or a pool when we know the condition of those assets is poor,\u201d Gloria said.<\/p>\n

The mayor acknowledged that some of those facilities play a crucial role for neighborhoods, particularly some low-income neighborhoods. But he said older facilities often are forced to close because of structural problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we have the staffing there, but if the plumbing doesn\u2019t work and the roof is leaking, are we better off?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lee said the council is mostly open to the mayor\u2019s idea but stressed that Gloria\u2019s initial budget proposal did not include strategic cuts to libraries and rec centers based on facilities that face challenges.<\/p>\n

That proposal called for a flat cut to the library system and allowed the council to choose how to get there. Then in his May budget revision, the mayor proposed slashing hours in wealthy areas and preserving them in low-income areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mayor needed to present a fleshed-out plan that aligns with shrinking the structural deficit,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

Gloria also criticized the council for reversing his proposed cut to an engineering team focused on bike lanes, street design and traffic safety, stressing that they cut money for paving to make the change.<\/p>\n

The mayor says that move was the council catering to vocal groups complaining about the cut to that team but ignoring what the vast majority of residents want \u2014 better-paved roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cReducing the miles of road repair in order to facilitate more bike lanes \u2014 we did not hear that from our residents,\u201d the mayor said, referring to budget surveys the city conducted.<\/p>\n

Another key issue in budget negotiations was a contract for automated license plate readers, which Lee and some colleagues unsuccessfully tried to defund.<\/p>\n

Gloria said that even if the four council members supporting that cut had gotten the necessary fifth vote on the nine-member council, he would have vetoed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat technology is absolutely critical,\u201d said Gloria, contending license plate readers keep the city safer. \u201cFor the vast majority of San Diegans, this is not a controversial question. They expect their city government to keep them safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee said he supports license plate readers but voted to defund them because the $2 million it would have made available could have restored some other cuts he didn\u2019t want to make \u2014 including some in public safety.<\/p>\n

Despite their differences on many details, Lee and Gloria both said they appreciated the more positive tenor of this year\u2019s negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt different,\u201d Lee said. \u201cIt was a smoother process throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gloria said that kind of collegiality is essential when city leaders are making crucial decisions that affect public safety and other key issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issues we\u2019re dealing with here are very difficult, and they\u2019re not made better when there\u2019s tension and conflict and extreme disagreement,\u201d Gloria said.<\/p>\n
