To: Neighborhood Council Friends and Colleagues
From: BongHwan (BH) Kim, General Manager, Department of Neighborhood Empowerment

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

This is to inform you that the Budget and Finance Committee will be recommending to City Council that the NC funding program be reduced to a total of $1M for next year - this roughly breaks down to $11,200 instead of the $50,000 per NC.   There was no change to the current rollover policy and no changes to the Mayor’s proposed 20% reduction for the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment.  The City is faced with a budget deficit of roughly $500M and the Council recently approved moving ahead with the process of laying off over 400 people.  This is the time for Neighborhood Councils to educate and advise your elected officials as to the importance of the NC funding program as they move through their deliberations.

The Budget and Finance Committee will convene on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 to finalize their complete recommendations to send forward to the City Council.  The full City Council will then begin holding special meetings to consider the Committee’s budget recommendations on Monday, May 18, 2009.   On or before June 1, 2009, the Council must approve or modify the Mayor’s proposed budget and submit it to the Mayor for approval.   The Mayor then has 5 days to act on the budget as adopted by Council.  Updated Budget and Finance Committee Agendas and City Council Agendas can be found on the City’s home page, City Meetings and Agendas calendar ( http://parc1.lacity.org/appldept/calendarme/filedocs/all/councilcalendar.cfm ).

If you wish to express your opinions and concerns about the Mayor’s 2009-2010 Proposed Budget, you can appear for public comment at both the Budget and Finance Committee and full City Council, submit Community Impact Statements via the City Clerk ( http://cityclerk.lacity.org/cis/ ), or send your letters and emails to your elected Councilmember.   You can also follow the deliberations on your home computer via Live Streaming Audio here ( http://lacity.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=18&event_id=236 ), or on LA CityView, Channel 35, for live coverage.
