Special Assistant City Attorney Jane Usher in a robust discussion of
the Mayor's proposed consolidation of the Community Development
Department and the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment.
Frank
will offer an overview of the City's Budget Crisis and the details of
the proposed CDD/DONE consolidation along with the opportunities for
the neighborhood councils to participate in the programming of the new
department along with the selection of the Executive Director of the
new department.
Usher will address debate over Charter
Departments vs. Ordinance Departments, the Mayoral authority to
consolidate departments, and the balance of power between the
Neighborhood Commissioners, the Neighborhood Empowerment and the
Neighborhood Councils.
This has been a long journey for the BudgetLA family, there have been many victories and there are many opportunities ahead.

Mayor's Budget Survey Deadline
|
 This Sunday is the close of the two month Mayoral Budget Survey, an online exercise in budget balancing that has stirred much interest and much debate.
The survey is a great way to review the city's budget and the challenge
is to balance the budget. Along the way, you will have the opportunity
to leave feedback and suggestions specific to the question. The survey
will stay online but the data will be collected at the close of Sunday,
February 28, and reviewed for presentation at the Regional Budget Day.
Some folks have praised the process and the survey structure while others have criticized the process. Either way, they're all talking budget and if you'd like to get your opinion in, now is your last chance.
