  11. Mayor’s Budget Direction • Budget “stabilized” - Avoids cutting services and layoffs for the third year in a row • Restores some pay to help retain experienced employees and maintain competitive compensation • “Threats” to fiscal stability still faced from litigation over pension reform and continuing growth of retirement costs • Public Safety service levels should be addressed with a number of operational changes including civilianization, use of reserve officers and staffing level of fire apparatus • Prepares for possibility of a Sales Tax increase by including a list of spending priorities consistent with the community survey
