From Times Staff Reports
In anticipation of decreased revenues and increased expenses next year, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Thursday ordered department heads to submit “no-growth” budgets by Dec. 20.
The budgets, according to the mayor, should either match or come in below current fiscal year spending.
In a letter to City Administrative Officer Karen Sisson, Villaraigosa also instructed department heads to recommend 8% cuts in their budgets as a contingency measure.
The mayor plans to unveil his 2008-09 budget in April.
