The evidence gaps
What still needs an answer
Unresolved information needs and dated Council questions, kept alongside the portfolio.

A public reconstruction of the work. Stages and connections are PCL’s organization of the cited record. This is not authoritative City status, a City partnership, or a complete inventory.
Each gap identifies a record that could clarify delivery, responsibility or public value. A missing publication does not establish misconduct, inactivity or a missed internal deadline.
Historical Council oversight questions · May 7, 2026 budget hearing
Preserved from the earlier CED research. These are dated hearing interpretations, not a claim that the same questions remain unanswered today. Current project records above take precedence.
PCL hearing synthesis
PCEF / Moda opportunity cost
May 7 CEDSA: Novick pressed whether the administration had identified which PCEF priorities would be displaced by a proposed $75M Moda contribution; the answer did not identify a displacement plan. Morillo, Kanal, and Green raised the weak climate nexus, CIP authority, and opportunity-cost problem.
What exact PCEF program, reserve, or future-year CIP commitment would be reduced, delayed, or reclassified to make room for the arena contribution?
April 8: Smith and Dunphy flagged workforce development as a protection priority. May 7 CEDSA: Pirtle-Guiney pressed whether Prosper was preserving administrative capacity while reducing grant dollars; Avalos challenged the downtown-first ROI theory; Green asked for evidence behind downtown marketing and Clean & Safe / ESD overlap.
For each Prosper reduction, how many workers, small businesses, storefronts, or technical-assistance recipients lose direct service, and what measurable downtown return is expected instead?
April 8: Zimmerman named permitting and housing capacity as core city functions. Subsequent budget discussion flagged large unbudgeted PHB housing funds as a major council deliberation topic. May 7 CEDSA kept CED accountability focused on whether housing/permitting claims connect to measurable outputs.
How many units are completed, under construction, committed but not started, or delayed, and which permitting bottleneck explains delay?
Arts, Children's Levy, and grant-accountability tradeoffs
May 7 CEDSA: Arts staff quantified small-grant and sponsorship reductions; the Children's Levy clarified it has no general-fund ask and no decision packages; Ryan praised the levy administrative cap and connected it to workforce/cannabis-fund collaboration.
How many grants, youth served, partner dollars, exhibitions, performances, sponsorships, or levy-funded services change under the proposed cut?
