City of Scottsdale will not lay off

I am oh so happy to inform that after our management meeting last week, a new sense of relief has come to City of Scottsdale employees. Yes, without a doubt our current overall economic struggles have created an impact to our revenue, however so far a lay off is not something management is considering at this time.

Honestly, it really was a huge sense of relief after so much commotion about our budget. Thank God that my job is not in jeopardy.

On a happier note, last week, the Assistant City Manager David Ellison called me, little oh me, to check on my schooling. I told him about my classes, and a thorough update on my next semester. I know I've said this before, but I really do mean it, I work with extraordinary people. I am grateful for working for such a great organization.

The budget process has been very scary, so do you know how they got that conclusion? Will they be cutting programs or services to keep the employees

I am not sure how they concluded that, however, I do know that contract positions will not be renegotiable. I am sure there is a big chunck there. In addition we are being a little more cognizant about our orders, making copies, etc, any little bit will count.
