Further cuts in services and resources will be required to balance the Los Angeles County 2003-04 budget according to David Janssen, chief administrative officer.
Janssen released a $16.5 billion proposed budget on April 14, saying cuts necessitated by the $804 million shortfall will be felt by the public in many areas.
All departments will be impacted, but the most heavily hit will be the sheriff, probation, public social services and library. Beach lifeguards would be reduced, pools shut down earlier, job training reduced, and construction and maintenance of local streets cut back.
