The New York City Council’s approved budget for the city’s upcoming fiscal year includes $15.3 million in additional funding for the city’s five district attorneys offices to be spent on pay raises for prosecutors, hiring new staff to sift through police body cam footage and programs to address the opioid crisis.

The allocation was included in the $89 billion budget for the city’s 2018-19 fiscal year, for which the council gave final approval on Thursday. The budget now awaits Mayor Bill de Blasio’s signature.
