The City Administrative Officer (CAO) is the chief financial advisor
to the Mayor and the Council and reports directly to both. The CAO
conducts studies and investigations, carries out research and makes
recommendations on a wide variety of City management matters for
the Mayor and Council.
The CAO assists the Mayor and Council in the preparation of the
City budget, plans and directs the administration of the budget
and directs the development of work programs and standards. The
CAO represents the management of the City in negotiating all labor
contracts.
In addition the CAO chairs and participates in many coordinating
committees and performs other duties required by the Mayor and Council.
As part of our responsibilities, throughout each fiscal year (July
1 through June 30), we submit monthly reports on the City's financial
status to the Mayor and City Council. We would like to inform you
that you can access our monthly reports on our website.
We believe that these reports may be useful to your work and can
provide you with up-to-date information on the City's financial
status.
You can access our website at www.lacity.org/cao.
Once you access the website, click on the link entitled "Financial
Reports" (provided above). The link currently includes our first
financial status report of the fiscal year as well as our first
budget reduction report, which included $47.0 million in budgetary
reductions.
We will be regularly posting financial reports on our website throughout
the year.
