2. Specific Budget Reductions Below 2009 Levels
|
Recognizing that most residents are faced with cutting back on household spending, the guidelines incorporate the reduction of selected expense budgets. This opportunity is fairly limited as most expenses are rigid and cutting too deeply can negatively impact on the services provided to the community. However, given the current economic environment it is necessary to signal that we are taking the economic crisis seriously and reducing budgets. The following accounts will receive an across the board reduction of at least 10 per cent.
- Meals
- Overtime
- Furniture
- Sundry
- Travel
