We invite you to send us your feedback by email, phone or mail. You also may comment in person by attending a public hearing on April 6 or 7. Please submit your comments by 5 p.m., Friday, April 23, 2010.
Due to the weak economy and declining payroll tax receipts, we are facing a $27 million budget shortfall. We are continuing the hiring and salary freeze and administrative cuts implemented last spring. In addition, the following changes have been proposed:
- Adding federal stimulus funds: $7.2 million
- Reducing administrative costs: $11.3 million
- Strategic reductions in bus and MAX service: $8.7 million
Thank you for letting us know what you think about the proposed changes.
