El Monte will have its council meeting on July 1, where they are expected to talk about the Ernie Gutierrez issue.

And on Wednesday, the council will have a budget workshop at 5:30 p.m. The budget has not yet been released, but the city is likely facing a deficit if it is considering laying off people as a means to balance the budget. The Council will hash that out at the Wednesday workshop.

El Monte City Spokesman Matt Weintraub said the budget document will not be ready until after the weekend.
