Give direction to staff to not have layoffs, including the Police Department, and no increase in positions for the Police Department

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 5-2 to direct city staff to avoid layoffs in the upcoming budget while also freezing police department staffing at current levels. This means the city will maintain existing police positions but won't add new officers, and all city departments must find ways to balance the budget without cutting jobs. Council members Nathaniel Bates and Thomas K. Butt voted against the motion. This directive will guide staff as they finalize the 2021-2022 budget for the council's final approval on June 22.
