Oakland faces potential layoffs of up to 91 positions, as city officials confront a projected $129 million structural deficit exacerbated by high interest rates and overspending.
The report elucidates that previous federal relief funds, while momentarily alleviating financial distress, have impeded essential structural reforms, thereby worsening the city's long-term financial outlook.
The cuts are likely to impact part-time workers and newly hired employees, including positions within the police, public works, human services, and IT departments.
Officials may implement immediate baseline cuts without first consulting labor groups or the city council, a concerning approach during a financial crisis.
