Eleven members took turns naming the institutions that employ their spouses, parents and children - the Department of Education, CUNY, the Brooklyn Museum, the NYPD, the Metropolitan Opera - and then voted to fund them. Lincoln Restler disclosed that his wife works at the mayor's Office of Management and Budget, the office that wrote the $125.8 billion FY27 budget, and voted aye. Nobody recused; the clerk recorded no abstentions. Julie Won could not confirm the bill numbers she was voting on and was told they were 'temporary.'

Called up first in the budget package and moved for approval as the FY2027 expense budget (M 69, as modified), the resolution that actually appropriates the money to run every city agency and service the city's debt.
Moved for approval as item two, the FY2027 contract budget under the same modified M 69, the companion authorization for the city's contracted spending alongside the expense plan.
Taken up with its companion as the capital half of the adoption: Reso A adopts the FY2027 executive capital budget and the capital program for the ensuing three years under M 70, as modified.
Cleared as item four: an expense budget modification that closes out FY2026 by transferring City funds between agencies under Charter §107(b) (M 80), the housekeeping that has to land before the new fiscal year opens.
The FY2026 close-out continued at item five with a revenue budget modification appropriating newly recognized City revenues under Charter §107(e) (M 81).
Moved as part of the same adoption package: the proposed FY2027 Community Development Program under M 74, which also reallocates leftover 52nd-year CD funds and stands up the proposed 53rd-year program.
Moved as one of four late-payment interest resolutions taken together, setting the lowest delinquency tier at 6% per annum for FY2027 on properties assessed at $250,000 or less, measured per residential unit for co-ops.
Closed the package at item nine with the transparency resolution, which locks in the new and changed designations of the outside organizations set to receive discretionary and member-item funding in the adopted expense budget.
First piece of the tax-rate block, computes and certifies each real property class's base percentage, current percentage and current base proportion for FY2027 to the State Board of Real Property Tax Services, the arithmetic that must be filed before any rate can be fixed.
Phil Wong: Before voting, Council Member Wong asks for the bill numbers of the real-property-tax late-payment interest-rate resolutions covering the three assessed-value tiers (assessed value $250K or less; $250K to $450K; over $450K), stating he has them as 2274, 2176 and 2182, and asking whether that is right or whether the numbers changed.
