Pursuant to the City Charter, the Mayor proposes, and the City Council is responsible for enacting, an annual budget. The annual budget consists of appropriations based on estimated revenues and expenditures developed during the six to ten-month period preceding the start of each fiscal year. Those estimated revenues and expenditures rely on economic and financial assumptions that the City develops for budgetary purposes based on then-available information. The City updates its estimated revenues and expenditures over the course of the fiscal year as economic and financial conditions develop, which often differs from those estimated at the time that the annual budget is originally adopted. These differences are sometimes material. As such, the annual budget may be modified by the Mayor and City Council throughout the fiscal year.

The annual budget is not prepared, nor is it suitable, for the purpose of an investor understanding the forward-looking financial condition of the City or for making any investment decision in any bonds issued by the City or secured by any City revenues. Further, the economic and financial assumptions that the City presents in the annual budget have been prepared for budgetary purposes, which assumptions may differ materially from those that the City would use to communicate financial projections to investors. The City files official statements for bond offerings, audited financial statements, annual comprehensive financial reports, annual financial information, material event notices, and voluntary disclosures with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and makes such information available on the City of Los Angeles Investor Relations website. The annual budget will not be filed with the MSRB.
