Citygate is currently providing strategic planning and facilitation assistance for the City of Angels, California, as a follow-up to Citygate’s previous two studies for the City: the 2018 organizational review and budget stabilization study and the 2020 financial action plan in response to COVID 19. For this project, Citygate will interview key staff, City Councilmembers, and community members to gauge current operational efficiency, identify goals and priorities, and identify general and operational issues/priorities to assist in the development of Council priorities. Citygate will also review the City’s current fiscal condition at a high level to identify present opportunities and challenges.

Citygate recently developed an action plan for the City of Angels, California, to provide financial strategies in response to the COVID 19 pandemic. This plan included review of the City’s revenues and reserves, identification of the anticipated financial impacts of the COVID 19 crisis on the City, and development of a recommended high-level action plan to address the anticipated impacts for the current fiscal year and the next three to five fiscal years. Citygate also identified, at a high level, potential operational changes that could improve efficiency, reduce expenses, or enhance revenues.

Citygate conducted an organizational review and budget stabilization assessment for the City of Angels, California, with the purpose of developing a strategic, goal-focused, sustainable budget strategy. The Work Plan addressed the following areas: steering committee participation, strategic goal setting, community and council participation, an organizational review, a budget stabilization study, an alternative analysis, and an implementation plan.
