Full summary

On April 14, 2026, Councilmember Bob Blumenfield introduced a motion to transfer $100,000 in AB1290 redevelopment funds to community services in Council District 3, seconded by Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez. Specifically, the motion directed that $100,000 be moved from the AB1290 Fund (Fund No. 53P, Account No. 281203, designated for CD 3 Redevelopment Projects - Services) into the General City Purposes Fund (Fund No. 100-56, Account No. 0703, the CD 3 Community Services account). AB1290 funds originate from California redevelopment law and are restricted to use within former redevelopment project areas, making this a transfer of locally controlled redevelopment dollars into a broader community services budget. The motion also authorized the City Clerk to make any technical corrections, clarifications, or revisions to the fund transfer instructions as needed to carry out the motion's intent, a standard provision accompanying fund transfers of this kind. The motion was referred directly to the full Council without committee review. The Council scheduled the item for April 21, 2026, and adopted it that day by a vote of 13-0-2, with two councilmembers abstaining. The adoption was subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51, a routine procedural safeguard. The City Clerk transmitted the file to the Mayor on April 22, with a deadline of May 4 for mayoral action. The Mayor took final action on May 4, 2026, and the file was closed. The motion does not specify which particular community services or programs the $100,000 is intended to support.
