The shortfall also includes almost $30 million in funds pulled from emergency reserves to cover last year’s costs, which it must replace by July or be forced to declare a fiscal emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson shared a two-phase plan to re-balance the budget, which includes the first cuts to public safety departments since Oakland started paring down its budget in September. The fire chief is preparing for brownouts, or rotating closures, of two fire stations immediately, according to a report from Johnson last week. That will make three fire stations out of commission since one is currently closed for repairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to look back three people from me in this line,” said Seth Olyer, the vice president of the firefighters’ union, standing in a long line of public commenters at Monday’s meeting. “At the end of my [one minute] time and [their time], that’s when the first fire engine would show up, without any cuts while besides the cut we already have. When you call the next batch of speakers — after your six or seven proposed closures — that’s when the fire engine will show up. I want all of you to hold your breath for that time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Police Department — one of the biggest spenders of city money — must now get written approval from the mayor’s office and city administrator for foreseeable overtime, Johnson said. Two police academies planned for the remainder of the fiscal year will also be canceled, and the agency will pause some specialized departments, like recruiting, and reallocate their resources to patrol and other necessities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12017328\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12017328\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/OaklandPoliceDepartment2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Oakland Police Department on Nov. 12, 2016. \u003ccite>(Alex Emslie/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These cuts will save the city an estimated $37.6 million, but Johnson said the council will need to make additional funding reallocations to bring the budget into balance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council will decide next week whether to move more than $22 million in restricted funds to the city’s general purpose fund, which pays for essential services like public safety, public works, and administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They will also vote on transferring an excess of about $10 million in the emergency reserve to the general purpose fund. City policy requires it to maintain its emergency reserve at least 7.5% — last year’s failure to do so added almost $30 million to the deficit, and will require declaring a fiscal emergency if it isn’t replaced by July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council voted 6-1 to preliminarily approve one part of the reallocation plan which transfers $5.7 million set aside for affordable housing to the general purpose fund on Monday. That ordinance requires two readings, and will come before the council again for final approval next Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While multiple council members worried about cutting housing funds in the face of the city’s homelessness crisis, all but Councilmember Noel Gallo voted in favor.

The shortfall also includes almost $30 million in funds pulled from emergency reserves to cover last year’s costs, which it must replace by July or be forced to declare a fiscal emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson shared a two-phase plan to re-balance the budget, which includes the first cuts to public safety departments since Oakland started paring down its budget in September. The fire chief is preparing for brownouts, or rotating closures, of two fire stations immediately, according to a report from Johnson last week. That will make three fire stations out of commission since one is currently closed for repairs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The first fare increase took effect in January of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said its goal is to help bridge a massive budget deficit looming on the horizon.

It’s expected to generate about $14 million annually and about $30 million when combined with the last increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said it would use the increased revenue to pay for train services, enhance cleaning and add \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12014817/bay-area-leaders-want-newsom-to-make-bart-safer-but-no-one-agrees-on-how\">additional safety officers\u003c/a> at stops.
