Through these cuts, 6 employee positions have been reduced. The city has delayed replacing capital equipment and capital improvement projects. The city was able to decrease its levy by 1.5% due to a reduction in the cost of its new wastewater project and a reduction in the debt service levy; however, the city also passed an unallotmetn levy to recapture lost aid.
