""If I had to pick a couple of words to characterize what these agreements are really about, it would be that they provide both stability and certainty for the city over the next four years as you're approaching- I think- a very difficult budget cycle over the next two years.""
""We really believe these agreements are fiscally responsible for the city and will help us navigate the financial challenges ahead.""
San Francisco's recent union contracts with police and firefighters will add $100 million in costs over the next two years and $300 million over four years. The city faces a $634 million budget deficit, improved from a previous $936 million estimate. Cuts of $400 million in general fund expenditures are being prepared for the upcoming budget process. The new contracts, effective July 1, will provide stability and certainty during a challenging budget cycle, with over 95 percent of union members voting in favor.
