    Jan 22, 2008

    ·Greenville, SC
    Other

    This document establishes the Rules of Greenville County Council effective January 22, 2008, governing the structure and operations of the council's leadership and staff. The Chairman, elected by Council members at the initial January meeting following each general election for a two-year term, presides over all meetings and executes ordinances, resolutions, contracts, and official documents on behalf of the Council and County Administrator. A Vice-Chairman, also selected for a two-year term at the initial January meeting, presides when the Chairman is absent; if both offices are vacant, the Council member with the most uninterrupted service acts as Chairman Pro Tempore. The Council employs three key staff positions—a County Administrator (the administrative head of County government), a Clerk (who records and maintains journals of all Council proceedings), and a County Attorney (licensed to practice law in South Carolina)—all of whom serve at the pleasure of the Council and cannot be members of Council.

  • Oakland's Roadmap To A Sustainable Budget

    Oakland, CA
    Other

    Oakland's November 2024 roadmap document identifies structural budget deficits driven primarily by police department overspending and proposes that fiscal stability requires reforms beyond departmental cuts. Police and fire services consume 70% of the general fund—far higher than peer cities—with police overspending alone accounting for 56% of the 2024-2025 deficit, predominantly from overtime costs that have outpaced both general fund revenue growth and inflation. The document identifies accountability gaps, including 83% of sworn overtime approval records that could not be located or verified, and notes that the majority of city employees earning over $200,000 are sworn officers, with 64% of those earning over $300,000 in that category. The analysis, authored by Bob Brownstein (former Santa Clara County and San Jose budget official), argues that balancing the deficit through cuts to non-sworn services alone is not feasible and that deeper police operational reforms are necessary to protect critical services and achieve fiscal stability.
