Excerpts from the 2nd Edition
This report details our findings and presents a People’s Budget alternative to the Mayor’s proposed 2020-21 budget. Our document and data both reveal a clear referendum: invest in universal needs (e.g., housing security, public health/health care, mental health and wellness, etc.) and divest from traditional forms of policing.
Here’s a summary of our methodology and results:
- Tens of thousands of people were engaged in the drafting of the People’s Budget. This includes 24,426 Angelenos who took our survey, which was distributed by over 50 organizations; 3,300 participants who engaged in our participatory budgeting process in real time on May 24, 2020 (via Zoom and Facebook Live); over 10,000 viewers who have watched that session after-the-fact; and thousands more who have dialogued with us on social media and in other forums.
- The top priorities for investment include housing, public health and healthcare, child and youth development, food security, public transportation, and environmental justice.
- The top priorities for divestment include parking enforcement, police and policing, and the City Attorney’s Office.
- The People’s Budget allocates just 1.64% of general funds to law enforcement and policing – far less than one-tenth of the 54% given to the LAPD in the Mayor’s proposed budget.
- The People’s Budget allocates the largest amount of money to Universal Aid and Crisis Management (45.61%), followed by Built Environment (27.61%), then Reimagined Community Safety (25.06%), and finally Law Enforcement and Police (1.64%). These categories are further defined below.
The Mayor’s Budget Allocations
-->You can have multiple budgets for identical time periods by creating budgets with separate names. First, you set up the budget name and enter the budget figures. The budget name is then included on all the budget entries you create.
When you create a budget, you can define four dimensions for each budget. These budget-specific dimensions are called budget dimensions. You select the budget dimensions for each budget from among the dimensions you have already set up. Budget dimensions can be used to set filters on a budget and to add dimension information to budget entries. For more information, see Working with Dimensions.
Budgets play an important role in business intelligence, such as in financial statement based on account schedules that include budget entries or when analyzing budgeted versus actual amounts in the chart of accounts. For more information, see Business Intelligence.
In cost accounting, you work with cost budgets in a similar way. For more information, see Creating Cost Budgets.
To create a new G/L budget
Choose the icon, enter G/L Budgets, and then choose the related link.
Choose the Edit List action, and then fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.
Choose the Edit Budget action.
At the top of the Budget page, fill in the fields as necessary to define what is displayed.
Only entries that contain the budget name that you entered in the budget Name field are shown. Because the budget name has just been created, there are no entries that match the filter. Therefore, the page is empty.
To enter an amount, choose the relevant cell in the matrix. The G/L Budget Entries page opens.
Create a new line and fill in the Amount field. Close the G/L Budget Entries page.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have entered all of the budget amounts.

Note
The chart of accounts, that G/L budgets are based on, have lines of account type Heading that contain the total of the lines below it. When you export a G/L budget, data on all lines is exported regardless of the account type. However, only data on lines of account type Posting can be imported back in. Accordingly:
When you import a G/L budget, any values that existed on Heading lines will be deleted.
This is to avoid wrong totals after importing data that has been created or edited in Excel.
Scenario: You know that the new budgeted salaries cost is going to be LCY 1.200.000. You want to let the Salaries department budget for the three specific lines (of account type Posting) for Full-time Employees, Part-time Employees, and Temp Help. The three lines are grouped under a Salaries heading line.
You enter 1.200.000 on the Heading line, export the budget to Excel, and then send it to the Salaries department, telling them to distribute the LCY 1.200.000.
The Salaries department distributes the amount on the three posting accounts. When you import back into the G/L budget, the three accounts are filled in with the new Excel data, summing to LCY 1.200.000, and the Heading line is blank.
