Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa recently directed the city’s personnel department to cut 1,000 general funds positions and begin calculating layoffs, displacement seniority and employee transfers to fill the positions in response to the City’s $212 million deficit for the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
The Los Angeles City Council recently postponed plans to address the budget shortfall, adding $4 million to current fiscal year’s deficit.
In addition the layoffs and transfer of general funded employees to special funded and proprietary departments, the mayor has asked the city council to adopt an ordinance that would allow City employees to retire without the 30 to 60 day advance application typically required and requested the move of their uncommitted funds — currently totaling up to $40 million — into the City’s Reserve Fund until such time that the fund reaches 5 percent of the overall budget.
“Every budget is a balancing act,” said Mayor Villaraigosa in a released statement to the press. “We have been living beyond our means and now we have difficult choices to
make. Each day we fail to act we lose an estimated $300,00 … I do not relish these decisions, but neither will I shy away from them or pretend they don’t exist.”
