10 <br /> 1 if we go for one or two day layoffs? No pay, you're out the door, you're layed off for <br /> 2 one or two days. How much revenue can we bring in by doing that? Well, it effects <br /> 3 everybody's pay. What we're doing is passing the problem on to the employees. It <br /> 4 also effects service levels as well. We can't lay off police officers for a day, we can't <br /> 5 lay off firefighters. So what does it mean? It means public works and office staff is <br /> 6 layed off. That's not that large an amount of money. What does it mean? We could <br /> 7 probably lay off people for a couple days but they have to put bread on their table, <br /> 8 too. It has a very drastic effect on the people and they're feeling the same impact <br /> 9 of reduced services where they live. <br /> 10 CR: We have a large amount of medicals. If we don't keep our streets plowed in the <br /> 11 middle of the night and these firefighters can't get there...there's.got to be some <br /> 12 snowplows out. <br /> 13 TB: There are some things we can do. We can do less maintenance in the park, not mow <br /> 14 the grass as frequently. We can stop weed control in the parks. Some of the things <br /> 15 wouldn't necessarily directly effect service levels, but it will have an effect. We always <br /> 16 stress image in St. Anthony. Its going to be hard to maintain a good image if all of <br /> 17 a sudden we reduce services. There's got to be a balance of that too. St. Anthony <br /> 18 has a very good reputation for itself and that is what has maintained its value as high. <br /> 19 If we aren't able to keep that image long-term, what effect will that have on the <br /> 20 community? <br /> 21 CR: Anything else? OK. On March 24th, whatever you feel should be put on that <br /> 22 agenda that you,want us to take some action on, you let us know. <br /> 23 TB: OK. <br /> 24 DE: We know the cuts are going to happen, we just don't know where they're going to <br /> 25 come from. <br /> 26 TB: Right. <br /> 27 CR: The governor made a proposal he's given to the legislature. They've got to act on <br /> 28 it. Wednesday of next week should be the end of getting information from the cities <br /> 29 and then they'll vote on it. We've got to get a letter to them Monday just to give <br /> 30 them some of our ideas and they can act. <br /> 31 TB: The letter is almost complete now. It will go out in Monday's mail under the Mayor's <br /> 32 signature. <br /> 33 CR: Anything else? <br /> i <br />
