Following the 2015 budget law passed by parliament, four out of six deputies mayors of Ulaanbaatar will be dismissed.

But Ulaanbaatar City Administration held a meeting and decided it stands in opposition to dismissing its deputy mayors and advisors. Opposing the call for cutting positions, the Ulaanbaatar City Mayor is to file suit in court.

Just before the new year, Ulaanbaatar's Deputy Mayor in Charge of Financial and Economic Affairs N.Bataa announced that a suit would be filed with the Constitutional Court against the decision to cut positions in city government.

In the framework of the 2015 budget law, 345 positions will be eliminated from state, capital, and provincial government in order to save 2,960.4 million MNT. The 2015 budget law outlines that governors of provinces, sums, and districts should have only one deputy and no advisor. But it allows Ulaanbaatar City Administration to have two deputies.

Ulaanbaatar Mayor E.Bat-Uul submitted a resolution that city deputy mayors will be paid through projects and programs and not through the state budget.
