[email protected] Paper April 20, 2004 A Message From Mayor James K. Hahn This Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2004-05 is the result of a year-long collaborative effort by city elected officials, city departments, neighborhood councils, and hundreds of Los Angeles residents and business-owners who came together to develop a plan that funds Los Angeles’ priorities and enhances services across the city. The economy adversely impacted city revenues and this budget was prepared against the backdrop of a projected $300 million shortfall. But rather than making across-the-board cuts to every City Department, we used Priority-Based Budgeting to give priority to funding the services that achieve our goals. Priority-Based Budgeting also enabled us to find innovative ways to make city government work more efficiently to provide quality services.
