City may lay off as many as 200 employees
The city of Sacramento may need to lay off as many as 100 to 200 city staffers as it makes cuts to balance its budget, Interim City Manager Gus Vina said Friday.
Vina proposed a draft budget Friday that would erase a $43 million gap. In the proposed budget, programs and services would face $14.6 million in cuts. The removal of all vacant positions and possible concessions from labor unions would amount to $19.6 million. Vina also plans to apply $8.8 million in other funds to the budget.
Vina’s draft general fund budget figure for the 2010 / 2011 fiscal year is $360.3 million.
“None of this is easy,” Vina said in an interview Friday. “We have only so much income and we have to have a balanced budget. I would encourage the public to stay engaged.”
The city’s budget documents will be posted online and the public is invited to attend all of the city’s budget hearings, Vina said.
