Jackson City Council Approves Initiation of Workforce Reduction.  At the Monday, December 14, 2009 City Council meeting, the five members of the Council were faced with difficult decisions regarding the City’s continuing declining General Fund revenue.  After careful review of all options, the City Council moved forward with starting the layoff process that will impact three current full-time employees, as well freezing a vacant Police Officer position.  The staff report on this topic provides the background issues and specific revenue data.  In the coming weeks, staff will be looking at all City services to evaluate service impacts created by these layoffs and the impact of the economic recession.
