Because development revenue is no longer sufficient to support costs, it is necessary to reduce spending in that area in the current fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Community Development and Public Works Departments and the City Manager’s Office that the Council, by resolution, direct staff to implement, following the meet and confer process, 24 position eliminations.
5:00 P.M.
11.2
