Brief

Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez introduced a budget motion to add two positions at the Department on Disability: a Principal Project Coordinator and an Administrative Clerk. The motion was introduced May 21, 2026, and is currently pending review in the Budget and Finance Committee. The motion has not yet moved beyond committee referral.

Full summary

This budget motion, authored by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez and seconded by Councilmember Imelda Padilla, proposes amending the Budget and Finance Committee's report on the Mayor's Proposed Budget for 2026-27 to convert two temporary resolution authority positions at the Department on Disability into permanent regular position authorities. The two positions are a Principal Project Coordinator housed in the AIDS Coordinator's Office and an Administrative Clerk serving the Commission on Disability Assistance. The distinction between resolution authority and regular authority is substantively significant: resolution authority positions are temporary, often budget-cycle-dependent roles that require periodic renewal, while regular authority positions are permanent, ongoing civil service roles with greater job security and stability. Converting these positions costs nothing additional — the motion lists a total budget change of zero dollars — suggesting the positions are already funded on a temporary basis and this action would simply regularize their status. The motion was referred to the Budget and Finance Committee on May 21, 2026, the same day it was introduced, and remains pending there. It has not yet advanced to the full City Council for a vote. The file is open and expires May 21, 2028, if no further action is taken.
