Date: October 9, 2003 <br />From: Councihnember Maschka <br />To: City Council <br />Re: Recommendations regarding the City's 2004 Budget <br />Here are my recommendations. The concept is to reduce operating costs that <br />are paid for with General Fund dollars, without laying off employees or <br />negatively impacting core services.
