Page 5 - 2020-21 Budget Summary

My proposed budget seeks to maintain a balanced budget and preserve public
health and safety programs. To avoid the need to eliminate critical programs and
OUR LATEST
services, this plan calls for continuing our citywide hiring freeze while shifting a
majority of City employees to a schedule equivalent to working one fewer day

every two weeks.

NUMBERS
In this tumultuous and challenging time, we will continue to provide critical public

safety services and protect our most vulnerable populations. And we will take

every necessary action to ensure that the City’s finances and operations remain
resilient moving forward.

This is one of the toughest challenges we have ever faced, but I know that
Angelenos will meet the moment with the generous spirit, grit, and resilience that

makes Los Angeles strong. Working together, we will build it back — and better.

Sincerely,

ERIC GARCETTI

Mayor
