The City Council Committee on Budget and Government Operations on Monday approved a measure that appoints a new director of the City Council Office of Financial Analysis (COFA) and establishes new rules for the appointment and tenure of financial analysis office directors. 

The budget committee also heard a preview of important dates for the upcoming budget season, including that a preview for the upcoming budget could be unveiled at a revenue subcommittee meeting next month.
