Arcadia plans for the future. Arcadia City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto presented the City's Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget. Fiscal year 2018-2019 budget maintains existing levels of public services, but the City can no longer guarantee that services will remain at current levels over the long term. Due to recent changes in state law and other fiscal constraints, the City's proposed budget has a structural deficit of nearly $13.1 million in expenditures in excess of revenues.
