10. 'what if lots of city employees, perhaps too many, were to come <br />forward and wanted to take advantage of the incentive packages ?" <br />I aim recommending to the City Council that I have the authority to <br />reject an application for an incentive package if too many <br />employees in one work area were to apply for an incentive package, <br />or for any other reason relating to our ability to continue to provide <br />city services. Plainly, we only want to reduce our budget by the <br />amount of state funding we are losing. No more; no less. <br />11. `What is the timetable for making city budget changes ?" <br />That is up to the City Council. This coning Monday, I am <br />recommending that the council authorize city staff to work out by <br />Monday, April 14 the final details of the voluntary incentive <br />programs described in my message and above. If the council <br />approves, we would offer the incentive packages to you from April <br />15 through May 15. After May 15, we would know how many city <br />employees might be participating in these voluntary programs, and <br />them we could start evaluating ghat other cuts we might have to <br />make. with the cooperation of your department managers, we <br />have already started to cutback on a variety of city programs and <br />expenditures, pending Council review and approval of an overall <br />budget reduction plan. I Dope that by June 1 this year we can <br />move forward under our revised budget. <br />Please) if you have other questions, don't hesitate to talk to me a your <br />department head, your supervisor, or the City Council. Thank you. <br />Respectfully, <br />Neal beets <br />M <br />
