New York City Financial Plan Report, December 2012

On November 9, 2012, Mayor Bloomberg revised New York City’s four-year financial plan (the “November Plan”) to reflect a delay in the planned sale of additional taxi medallions caused by legal challenges. Previously, the City’s financial plan had counted on the receipt of $635 million from the sale in FY 2013, and a total of $1.5 billion over three years. The City no longer anticipates the receipt of any sale proceeds in the current fiscal year, and now expects to realize $1.5 billion during fiscal years 2014 through 2016.

On January 29, 2013, Mayor Bloomberg released his executive budget for FY 2014 and the associated four-year financial plan (“the January Plan”). The January Plan reflects the City’s failure to reach agreement with the United Federation of Teachers on a new teacher evaluation system, which may result in the loss of $250 million in State education aid and cuts in educational services. The January Plan also reflects the estimated cost of Superstorm Sandy.
