Austere Budget Offered by City Financial Staff : Government: Unlike Mayor Bradley’s proposal, the plan would not raise taxes. But jobs and programs would be cut.

City financial analysts Wednesday produced a “no tax increase budget” that would require 268 layoffs, severe cuts in some city services and closure of some outdoor public swimming pools during the summer.

The plan, drawn up at the request of the City Council’s Budget and Finance Committee, slashes $61 million from the $3.68-billion budget for 1990-91 that was proposed Friday by Mayor Tom Bradley.

Bradley’s proposal calls for a first-ever parking tax aimed at people who drive to work, a 10% business tax increase and a doubling of fees paid for sanitation trucks. The new taxes and fees would bring in about $60 million.

Since Monday, the committee has been going through the budget line-by-line seeking ways to avoid the tax hikes and head off an estimated $102-million deficit in fiscal 1991-92.

Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky, who chairs the committee, said Wednesday the council will be selective in adopting the recommendations for cuts made by the city administrative office.

“We are in a serious mess,” Yaroslavsky said, adding that it will take a combination of “very deep cuts” that will involve layoffs in addition to tax increases.

Suggested cuts include:

* Layoffs of 100 traffic officers and slashing of funds for other Department of Transportation services for a savings of $2.8 million.

* Deletion of 400 unfilled positions for police officers and 17 unfilled civilian positions in the Police Department as well as cutting other department expenses for a total savings of $26 million.

* A $5-million cut in street maintenance programs that would “result in further deterioration of the city’s street system,” according to the report.

* A $1.9-million cut that would nearly double the city’s current 5 1/2-year tree-trimming cycle.

* Cancellation of a $133,542 appropriation for pre-employment drug screening, meaning that candidates for safety-sensitive jobs will not be tested for drug abuse.

* Delays of more than a year in the completion of 35 community plans for the city, at a savings of $575,000.

* The closure of 49 seasonal swimming pools for the summer at a savings of $2 million and the shutting down of 29 of 129 recreation centers citywide, saving $3.1 million.

* Elimination of all after-school programs, which currently serve 9,400 children, saving $3.5 million.

The budget hearings continue today.
