When reduced revenues are combined with known cost increases to fund pension and <br />retiree health obligations, the City must reduce operating costs and seek new revenues. <br />Without action, we would face annual deficits of $7-13 million per year for the <br />foreseeable future. We appreciate voter support for Measure RR in 2018; without it, the <br />City would face even greater deficits. <br />The Revised Budget reduces expenditures in all City departments, including $4.9 million <br />in funding for public safety services (5-6% of Fire and Police Department expenditures). <br />Total reductions are $7.7 million. <br />The reductions do not lay off any employees; they selectively maintain existing staff <br />vacancies while we work with employees to assess opportunities to reduce costs and <br />modify service delivery approaches. We are hopeful that this work will move quickly. <br />Thank you for reaching out to the City Council and may you and your family be healthy <br />and safe. <br />In Community Spirit, <br />Diane Howard <br />Mayor of Redwood City <br />(650) 208-4774 <br />From: nelida morales <oklahomal509@yahoo.com> <br />Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2020 7:56 PM <br />To: GRP -City Council <council@redwoodcity.org> <br />Subject: Budget cut UNACCEPTABLE <br />Dear Council <br />Redwood City is closing schools, and now firefighters budget.
