On the Block: City considering cutting, reducing several existing services. (Ripon Press, 9/28/2011)
Excerpt: No decisions have been made, but come Thursday, Oct. 6 — when aldermen hold their first budget hearing — city leaders will take their first steps toward reducing services significantly for the first time in a long time.
Though Rich did not offer any preface to the budget proposal at Monday’s Common Council meeting, she explained in writing the dire situation the city finds itself in going into 2012 as part of the proposal.
“... The negatives outweigh the positives for 2012 (by over $131,000),” Rich wrote. “To complicate things further, the proposed Additional Items list adds an additional $129,000 needed for 2012, for a total of over $260,000 that was needed to balance the 2012 budget. This meant some serious evaluation of programs and services.”
