Introduced by: Councillors McKee, Jacobs, Ryan, and Riley
The City Council currently has no budget to hire consultants, despite overseeing: - A $500M+ annual budget - $1.8 billion in city debt - Major decisions such as the Eastern Nazarene College land acquisition
Meanwhile, the Mayor's FY27 budget allocated $9.2 million in consultant funding across 20+ other city departments.
The Council is requesting a $35,000 annual line item for contracted services in the City Council budget, structured as: - $2,500 per councillor (×9 = $22,500) - $12,500 for Council-wide use (requiring majority vote to access)
- Authorised under MGL Chapter 44, Section 33, which allows the Council to independently appropriate funds deemed necessary if the Mayor fails to include them - Five councillors have returned or donated approximately $135,000 in raises back to public schools, demonstrating fiscal responsibility
