This CAO report from August 2007 shows budget trouble while Villaraigosa was negotiating a 25% raise with the unions to secure his vote for re-election. (Remember Council was saying 13%, but Zuma Dogg's sources were saying 25%!)
The Mayor says he didn't know? WOW...no better reason to vote his ass out of office? HOW IRRESPONSIBLE? HE BASICALLY JUST ADMITTED HE'S AN IDIOT AND NOW HIS IGNORANCE HAS PLACED THE CITY IN AN UNSAFE POSITION AS HE THREATENS TO CUT CITYWIDE SERVICES...AND IT'S TRIPLE THE TRASH COLLECTION FEES AND ALL KINDS OF NEW GANG PARCEL TAXES AND BULKY ITEM REMOVAL AND MORE TICKETS...WHEN YOU JUST GAVE AWAY THE FARM TO THE UNION WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN FULLY AWARE YOU NEGLIGENT HAZARD AND THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY ONE-TERM LOSER.
REPORT FROM OFFICE OF THE CITY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
Date: August 9, 2007
CAO File No. 0116-00001-0000
Council File No. 07-0600
Council District: All
To: Antonio R. Villaraigosa, Mayor
Eric Garcetti, Council President
Bernard C. Parks, Chair, Budget and Finance Committee
Fr: Karen L. Sisson, City Administrative Officer
Reference: 2007-08 Adopted Budget
Subject: FIRST FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT
EXCERPT: However, on August 8, 2007 the Controller released a letter warning of a significant Reserve Fund shortfall. As discussed below, we have reviewed this information and believe that there could be serious implications for 2007-08.
(But Antonio publicly stated that he didn't know!?!?!)
Five Year Forecast
Attachment 6 provides an updated five-year General Fund budget forecast with a projected deficit of $218.6 million in 2008-09. Revisions to the prior forecast include: 1) potential salary growth for sworn employees after the expiration of the current labor contract in June 30, 2009; 2) supplemental 2008-09 funding for various partially financed positions added in the 2007-08 budget; 3) an adjustment of the 2008-09 trash fee offset due to the acceleration of the fee increase to September 1,2007; and, 4) updated debt service estimates beginning in 2008-09 (debt service payments were revised to reflect the purchase of Figueroa Plaza). In furtherance of the City's financial policies, the anticipated transfer from the Reserve Fund is reduced by the amount needed to gradually increase and maintain the Reserve Fund percentage of the General Fund budget from 4.55 percent to 5 percent by 2010-11. This Office will continue to make adjustments to the forecast in the ensuing months as information becomes available.
Budgetary Adjustments
Budgetary adjustments totaling $8,617,651 are recommended in this report. We recognize the need to be extremely judicious in recommending transfers from the Reserve Fund. As a result, recommended Reserve Fund re-appropriations and appropriations (totaling $2.5 million) are limited to those items that we believe are necessary to support City services.
VILLARAIGOSA IS EITHER A LIAR OR AN IDIOT...EITHER WAY...HE'S GOTTA GO!
