A note from City Council President Jane Brunner:

**

Dear Neighbors –
 
Two weeks ago, the City Council was presented with the City Administrator’s proposals to address the deficits in the Measure B fund and the Development Services fund. I am writing to let you know that the discussion of the cuts to these 2 funds will be continued at the regular March 2nd City Council meeting at 7pm in the Council chambers.
 
The proposal from the City Administrator’s office to fill the gap involves the elimination of 44.5 full time positions in the Planning and Public Works Departments of which 26 positions are currently filled. The staff reports on this item can be found at http://clerkwebsvr1.oaklandnet.com/detailreport/matter.aspx?key=18406.
 
For more information on next Tuesday’s meeting or to give us your ideas on the budget, please contact my office at 238-7001.
 
Yours,
 
Jane
