Councilmember Kernighan proposed an amendment to Measure 00, (Option
D-2) which has the same setaside formula as Option D (3.5% of the actual
unrestricted general purpose fund revenue) and keeps the baseline year the
same as in Option D (1995-96). The difference with this option is that most of
the remaining language would remain the same as Measure 00, rather than
Measure K. It is entitled: A Resolution submitting, on the City Council's Own
Motion, to the Electors at the next Municipal Election, a Measure (1) to Amend
Charter Section 1300 on Kids First! Oakland Fund for Children and Youth
adopted by the voters on November 4, 2008 (Measure 00) to, among other
things, set aside Three and One-half percent (3.5%) of the Actual Unrestricted
General Purpose Fund City Revenue for Programs for Children and Youth and
(2) Directing the City Clerk to Fix the Date for Submission of Arguments and
provide for notice and publication in accordance with applicable legal
requirements.
A motion was made by Councilmember Kernighan, seconded by
Councilmember Nadel to place Option D-2 to Measure 00 (Attached) on the
ballot.
A substitute motion was made by Vice Mayor De La Fuente, seconded by
Councilmember Reid to place Option D-2 to Measure 00 on the ballot with the
following amendments: 1) funding to remain at 2.5% of the unrestricted
general fund and 2) adding the following language to Section 9 (e) ""Funding
recommendations will be presented to the City Council no later than April 15th
of each year"" and to Section 9 (f) ""An independent evaluation shall be done
each year for the contracts for the period from July 1st to June 30th of the
preceding year. The evaluation will be available to the Children's Fund
Planning and Oversight Committee for review in October and presented to the
City Council prior to the Committee's funding recommendations. Additionally,
fund recipients that receive poor evaluations for two consecutive years will not
be eligible for funding in the next year's funding cycle.""
