On Monday, May 18, 2009, the City Council finalized the budget and submitted it to the Mayor for approval.
This budget directly impacts our community as the funding for our Neighborhood Council and the LAPD has been cut down by 10%, thus reducing the Neighborhood Council funding to $45,000 for the 2009/2010 fiscal year, yet allowing for continued funding to build up the LAPD by 1,000 officers.
We thank all of the City Council members for voting unanimously to keep these funds in the budget.
