TL;DR (generated · confidence: high)

The City Administrator proposes an 8% cut ($428,198) to the Impact Reduction Program's General Fund ongoing resources. This reduction would eliminate one contracted campsite removal crew, decreasing from 25 to 24 crews and resulting in 300–400 fewer campsite removals annually. The program's $16.7M FY25–26 budget comprises 32% General Fund ongoing ($5.3M), plus interagency resources from Parks, PBOT, BES, Water, Solid Waste, and ODOT. The cut poses equity concerns for lower-income neighborhoods where unsanctioned camping is concentrated.
