saving the City more than $2.6 million; and
WHEREAS, the compensation plan for Management positions has been held
relatively flat, with an actual reduction in take home compensation due to increased pension

greater spans of control and increases in work load resulting from the consolidation of work
units, divisions and departments necessary to achieve the staffing reductions with no reductions
in services to the community or productivity; and
