collaborative arrangements with analysts, near site health clinic and others. Health costs continue to rise nationwide, however, the City is working to keep costs reasonable while providing excellent benefits to our employees. 2.Continue to work with the County to ensure property taxes accurately reflect market conditions and everyone is paying their fair share. 3.Implement soft hiring freeze on City positions (a 2.5% decrease would reduce the workforce by 18 positions and would save about $1.5 million annually). This can be done by reviewing positions as they become vacant with the Mayor’s office to ensure we are only replacing essential positions which help us meet the needs of the City. 4.Continue organization refinements and work to maximize efficiencies in City operations. A 1% cut in General fund alone would yield roughly $600,000 in savings. 5.Optimize purchasing process and capital budgeting process. 6.Pursue new revenue opportunities 7.Consider additional Public-Private Partnerships where possible.
