What services did the personnel perform that council members believe are not necessary? What would the public works employees do?“The majority of this difference can be found in the reduction of additional personnel proposed in departments that we believe are not necessary and the city cannot afford,” Council members said in a letter to Szymanski.
The Council eliminated the proposed hires of four public works employees and a police officer, while also dramatically trimming the salaries of two part-time department heads.
What were the twp part-timers being paid seeing it was dramatically reduced?
Perhaps our town board in cheektowaga can learn from this.
