Overview

• After the June revisions preserved roughly 1,000 positions, City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo said 614 employees still faced cuts until this week’s agreements removed that threat.
• Cost-saving measures include up to five unpaid holidays for many civilian workers and a voluntary overtime-for-time-off option for LAPD officers.
• Roughly 250 LAPD civilian jobs were saved, with additional at-risk employees reassigned into funded roles at the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles World Airports, and the Department of Water and Power.
• Key labor partners included the Coalition of L.A. City Unions, the Engineers and Architects Association, the Los Angeles Police Protective League, and SEIU Local 721.
• Officials cautioned that longer-term budget challenges remain, with the city’s first quarterly fiscal report expected in October.
