Despite an anticipated $95 million from the Coliseum sale, Oakland faces a $120 million deficit over the next two years, leading to unavoidable service cuts.
"This reflects deeper, ongoing imbalances between revenues and expenditures," the report states, highlighting the city's long-term financial challenges and shortfalls.
"To the extent that they are not reduced means even more disproportionate cuts on all other functions...There are no easy answers to this," said budget director Johnson.
Following a $120 million deficit forecast, Oakland's budget struggles reveal significant revenue shortfalls and reliance on past federal aid to manage fiscal issues.
