THE LAYOFF LIST
By Ken Draper
After the City Council on Wednesday passed on the employee layoff recommendation last week, the Mayor intervened on Thursday and ordered up a layoff list. By Friday the CAO’s Employee Relations Division forwarded The Layoff List of 1,000 positions recommended for cutting. (See Layoff List here.)
The list includes 72 positions from the City Attorney’s office. The CA
has vowed not to give up any jobs until the City Council orders him to
do so. He has said publicly that the Mayor cannot legally order him to
conduct any layoffs.
The Department of Neighborhood Empowerment has 12 position identified by the CAO.
Included are a Senior Systems Analyst II … w hich the memo says is responsible for updating the Department’s website. The Principal and Senior Project Coordinators and the assistant to the Board of Neighborhood Commissioner positions were also listed.
Recommended cuts cut across most all departments.
The Layoff List surfaces as the City Council prepares to revisit the CAO’s recommendations again Tuesday in Council Chambers at 10a. And as the Times publishes a report saying that credit agencies are beginning to raise eyebrows on LA’s credit rating. Most concerned, says the Times, with the erosion of city’s reserves, the structural debit and the failure of city officials to reduce the size of the city’s workforce.
