Long Beach is proposing significant layoffs affecting over 260 city employees to address a $58 million budget deficit. The cuts will impact various departments, including fire, police, and homeless services. Over 200 vacant positions are also slated for elimination. This measure is necessary due to rising personnel costs, legal payouts, and a slowdown in tax revenue. The city aims to balance its $4 billion spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year.
