The Seattle City Council will hold its final public hearing on the 2016 budget Tuesday — part of a civic doubleheader on changes planned at City Hall:

The second public hearing will be held to solicit public comment on: (1) the City’s 2016 General Revenue Sources, including a possible property tax levy increase; and (2) Mayor Edward B. Murray’s 2016 Proposed Budget. This hearing will begin at 5:45 p.m., or at the conclusion of the first public hearing, and will continue until all in-person comments have been received.

“Council received the Mayor’s 2016 budget proposal on September 28,” a statement on the hearing reads. “Councilmembers have been reviewing the proposal and will soon begin developing modifications to meet the needs of Seattle residents in areas such as public safety, education, transportation and affordability.”

CHS reported here on Mayor Ed Murray’s $5.1 billion proposal for the 2016 Seattle budget including a DPD overhaul, streetcar extension, homelessness funding, bike share expansion, and cop body cams. We have more about the planned bike share expansion — including a transition to electric bicycles — here.

Tuesday, the evening begins with a short hearing on the proposal to break up the DPD:

The first hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will be held on Council Bill 118502, containing amendments to the Seattle Land Use Code, Seattle Municipal Code Title 23, to reorganize the Department of Planning and Development into two separate departments: (1) the Office of Planning and Community Development; and (2) the Department of Construction and Inspections.
