The Los Angeles City Council is expected to approve its amended version of Mayor Karen Bass' proposed $13 billion city budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
The Los Angeles City Council will meet in a special session Thursday, when it is expected to approve its amended version of Mayor Karen Bass' proposed $13 billion city budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year.
During budget committee and public hearings, that issue drew both support and opposition -- with some constituents calling for funding intended for the LAPD to be reallocated to other departments and city services. "The mayor is very comfortable with this idea as well because she understands that we need to have transparency and accountability. We don't disagree on that," Blumenfield said during the budget committee's meeting Friday. "We're in complete lockstep on that idea."
Bass has said she wants the city to support the hiring and training of new LAPD officers, and provide funds to bring back recently retired officers to the department for up to 12 months. The budget would increase funding for GRYD from $28 million to $48 million, as well as provide funding to expand services under the Crisis Response Team and maintain seven teams operating in six regions of the city through CIRCLE, a 24/7 unarmed response program aimed at addressing non- emergency police calls related to homelessness.
