Layoffs, More To Be Discussed Nov. 29

An advertised meeting on pending layoffs did not take place Monday night, but the topic will be part of a special meeting next Monday. Further details, such as the meeting location, are to be announced.

As the evening wore on, more items got tacked on to the special agenda. A shared services agreement with the school district for information technology will be on the agenda. The council's Finance Committee will give its budget recommendations. I believe I heard Council President Annie McWilliams say she will reveal her Youth Master Plan as well. More details as available.

  1. Seems like the PMEA President made a good point. One Union being asked for concessions, nothing from Police, Fire or Social Service Agencies. How about the top administrators, no pay cuts or givebacks. Twenty eight hour work week, make it 20 with no benefits. Close a fire station or two, put the police in the streets and from behind the desk doing secretarial jobs. I guess no one on the Council nor the Mayor has the guts to tackle the 800 lb gorilla.
