OTHER POSSIBILITIES
• THE BUDGET' WILL BE MONITORED
CAREFULLY AND USED FRUGALLY AS IT HAS
BEEN ALL YEAR.
• WE ARE NOT IN A BUDGET CRISIS. WE JUST
HAVE TO MANAGE WISELY.
• WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS.
• NO EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN FURLOUGHED
OR LAID OFF AND NO BENEFITS HAVE BEEN
CUT.
• THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

$100, 000.

CLOSING THE GAP
• LEAVING POSITIONS OPEN WILL NOT
COMPLETELY CLOSE THE GAP IN SALES
TAX.
• STAFF BELIEVES THAT CLOSING THE
POOL IS THE OPTION THAT HAS THE
LEAST IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AS A
WHOLE.
• DEFERING CAPITAL EQUIPMENT OR
IMPROVEMENTS ONLY PUTS US FARTHER
BEHIND.
