City Budget Formally Adopted by Council
- Share via
The city of Los Angeles’ budget for the 1991-1992 fiscal year was formally adopted Wednesday as the City Council voted unanimously to sustain four minor changes contained in Mayor Tom Bradley’s veto message.
Bradley’s changes--amounting to $1.3 million out of a $3.9-billion budget--restored funding for the sweeping of 119 city-run parking lots, office machines for the city treasurer, $400,000 for the Emergency Operations Fund and four staff positions in the Engineering Department.
The vote puts to rest one of the most difficult budget deliberations in a decade. In all, the mayor and council cut more than $100 million in spending requests and added more than $50 million in new taxes to fill what had been projected to be a $177-million deficit.
