Report from the Mayor January 12, 2009
Council had a meeting this morning to discuss staffing issues. Our concern is as we go into budget review we want to keep costs down. In the end we came up with three resolutions that we feel will give the management team clear direction when doing their budgets.
1. The Budget: must have meaningful and substantial reductions in (budget) costs this year. Next year the process will be done by zero-based budgeting.
2. Staffing: There will be an immediate hiring freeze for new staff and no re-structuring for six months. Any changes to this will be up to councils approval.
3. Council must have an evaluation of all service levels throughout, before final approval of this years budget.
