A 2026 budget amendment changed downtown conversion funding and allocated $10 million to the Downtown Non-Market Office Conversion Program.
City Clerk's Council and Committee Votes · reviewed Oct 29, 2026An explicit reallocation to non-market conversion funding isolates a financial-support choice inside the budget. It receives the budget family’s weight rather than creating multiple budget points.
How votes are grouped: Choices within this annual budget share one family per measure. Separate amendments and duplicate tabulations cannot multiply the budget’s influence; unscored choices add no weight.

Reject this allocation amendment; it does not establish opposition to all downtown housing.
Approve the amendment or leave the budget allocation unchanged at this stage.
The amendment carried 8–7. An allocation is not proof that conversions or homes were completed.
