A MESSAGE ABOUT THE CITY'S BUDGET FROM KATY YAROSLAVSKY
It’s officially budget season in Los Angeles, and the decisions ahead will shape City services and priorities for the next year.
On Monday, Mayor Bass will release her proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1. After her budget is released, it moves to the City Council’s Budget Committee for consideration.
As Chair of the committee, I’ll lead that process. Over several weeks, we review every department, hold hearings, and make changes based on the Council’s priorities. Our focus is clear: address our fiscal challenges, protect core services, and ensure the budget is sustainable.
Ultimately, this is your budget. These are your tax dollars, and the choices we make affect your neighborhood and your day-to-day life. Your input matters.
That’s why I’m hosting a virtual Community Conversation this Tuesday to walk through the Mayor’s proposal and hear your priorities. Details below:
Virtual Community Conversation on the City Budget:
Tuesday, April 21, at 6:00 PM on Zoom
You’ll have a chance to ask questions, share your perspective, and learn how the process works. We’ll also hold a live Q&A. You can submit questions in advance to analiz.marmolejo@lacity.org
We’ll send the Zoom link to confirmed attendees closer to the event.
All my best,
Katy Yaroslavsky
MOVING YOUR CAR EVERY WEEK FOR STREET CLEANING?
You don't need to do that! The city went on a bi-weekly schedule for street sweeping in February, 2022. To find out if your street is being swept by receiving a 24 and 48 hour email notice, go to http://www.streetsla.lacity.org/sweeping and fill in the notice enrollment form on the right side of the page. Stop emptying one side of the street every week for no reason.
