Speaker Menon questions OMB on response timeline for budget follow-up letter

New York City Council · Jun 9, 2026 · starts 0:26:20 · 43 sec

Speaker Menon raises that OMB took nearly two months to respond to a council follow-up letter sent April 6th, and secures a commitment from Solomon to provide more timely responses going forward.

Linda Lee

Okay, going to turn it over to Speaker Menon first for her questions.

Speaker

Okay, thank you so much for your testimony today.

Speaker

A number of questions.

Speaker

So first of all, just a process timeline question really coming from our finance team.

Speaker

So after our preliminary budget hearing on the 25th, the council sent a follow-up letter to OMB requesting additional information regarding the budget.

Speaker

That letter was sent on April 6th.

Speaker

We didn't receive a response until June 2nd, nearly two months later.

Speaker

So we want to get your commitment moving forward that that won't happen again and that we get timely responses to the council's requests.

Brian Sarfo

Yes, we will work on.

Sharif Solomon

Making sure we speed that up for you.

Speaker

Great.

Speaker

Okay.
