Los Angeles is facing its most serious budget crisis in over a decade, and the decisions made this spring will shape how the City operates for years to come.
As the new Chair of the City Council’s Budget Committee, I’m working closely with my colleagues and the Mayor to close a billion-dollar shortfall while protecting essential services and building a more sustainable financial future for our city.
The Mayor’s proposed budget will be released on April 21st, and later this month, I’ll be leading the Council’s formal review process. The choices we make this spring will shape how Los Angeles operates for years to come — and I want you to be part of the conversation.

A Zoom link and/or location address will be shared with confirmed attendees closer to the event date.
We’ll break down the numbers, talk about what’s at stake, and hear directly from you. These aren’t typical town halls — this is your chance to weigh in before budget decisions are made.
Hope to see you there,
Katy Yaroslavsky
Chair, Los Angeles City Council Budget Committee
