Proposal is a 9.1% increase over FY 2023 but also includes cuts to some programs, including the Climate Equity Fund and Cannabis Equity Program
Mayor Todd Gloria's proposed $5.65 billion budget for fiscal year 2025 received mixed reviews Monday from the San Diego City Council, following a public presentation at city hall.
"This proposal pains me," said Councilman Henry Foster III, who was sworn in last month to fill the empty District 4 seat."Inequity does come with a price tag." According to Modica, the cuts proposed this year are planned as one-time slashes to the budget, but next year may see more significant, permanent cuts unless San Diego can secure another source of revenue, such as a proposed 1-cent sales tax and an increased stormwater fee, both of which are pending city council committee approval for November ballots.
Another allocation is for the proposed 1,000-bed shelter located at Kettner Boulevard and Vine Street in Middletown -— which is far from being a done deal, as council committees have taken it for review.
