Needless to say they have quite a bit of digging to find revenue and savings to get things to balance out. Maintaining core and expected services while plugging and patching budget holes will be a reoccurring theme the next few months. Possible solutions suggested were a trip down paths that were not taken before or taken and proved less than rewarding the first or second time. The first place to look for savings will be the biggest, discretionary budget area which is staff. There seemed to be a consensus that a straight across the board budget cut may not be the best approach and some plan of induced retirements to coax the senior and more costly staffers to enter the next chapter of their lives is expected. Raising sales taxes, increasing the TOT tax and other approaches for increased revenue that have been rejected in the past will probably be freshened up and presented as 2014 solutions as well....
