Facilities Management Reorganization

At a glance

• What: An ordinance renaming Facilities and Real Estate Management as Facilities Management, creating an Office of Real Estate and making the Office of Housing and Community Empowerment a division of the City Manager's Office.
• Where it stands: Failed on September 16, 2026 because it needed 12 votes (three-fourths under Charter Chapter X, Section 1).

Detail

• The printed vote lists are inconsistent: the yes list names 11 members, including Cadena and Roth, against a printed count of 10, and Cadena also appears in the no list.
• After the failure, West moved to reconsider the appropriation ordinance, which passed 9 to 6 (see Biennial City Budget). The minutes do not record the reorganization returning.
