MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA ISSUES STATEMENT ON CITY COUNCIL VOTE ON PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP FOR THE CITY’S PARKING STRUCTURES

January 12, 2011 – Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa today issued the following statement regarding the City Council’s vote on a public private partnership for the City’s parking structures:

"I want to thank the City Council for voting to proceed with a responsible request for proposal (RFP) on the city’s parking garages. This decision keeps the City on a path charted last May when we unanimously chose to include this proposal in the Adopted City Budget. Moving forward with a proposal which maximizes the value of city parking garages is a critical part of our plan to restore Los Angeles to financial health.

"The Council faced a tough choice, and it did the right thing.

"The City Council and I continue to face many difficult choices as we work to solve the City’s fiscal crisis, and maintaining our strong partnership is essential in order to do what’s best for the City and the residents we serve."
