The Oakland City Council on Tuesday approved the mayor's budget, which will maintain most of the city's functions under the assumption that the sale of the Coliseum goes through this summer.The approval comes after the missed July 1 deadline, an eight-hour meeting on Friday, and a four-hour continuation on Tuesday.

Ramachandran, Reid, and Councilmember Noel Gallo voted against Thao's budget, concerned over the risk of the Coliseum sale not going through."No one’s happy about any of the options we had, they’re all problematic, but I do believe overall that this one is somewhat better in terms of public safety and moves us forward in a way that I think is likely to be consistent to the reality that we’re going to get this Coliseum money," said Councilmember Dan Kalb.
