Los Angeles wants citizen input

EMAIL FROM THE LAFD LISTMASTER:

The City of Los Angeles is facing major financial challenges over the
next few years that will affect many facets of each of our lives. Mayor
Villaraigosa and other City leaders are asking for your input on the
performance and necessity of the services provided by the City and to
help them place priorities on the levels to maintain.

Mayor Villaraigosa and City Leaders are conducting an online survey,
and all stakeholders are encouraged to take this survey to convey your
concerns regarding the priorities City leaders should establish when
developing the City’s budget.

Whether you live, work, travel to or through the City of Los Angeles,
you will be affected by these decisions.

Mayor Villaraigosa:

“Fellow Angelenos:

The Mayor of the City of Los Angeles is given the responsibility by the City Charter to develop a budget plan that must be presented for City Council consideration by April 20th of each year…

Given these daunting challenges, it is important to hear from
community members about their budget priorities and their thoughts regarding the City’s revenues and expenditures. I urge you to participate by completing the budget survey. Your participation will help ensure that budget priorities encompass the most pressing needs of our City.”

The men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles City Leaders encourage every stakeholder to take a few minutes out of their day to take this very important survey and voice your concerns to help your elected leaders make these difficult decisions.
