The Members did approve the cuts in terms of concept, however today we want to provide a little bit more details in terms of a recap and to ratify these cuts with a Resolution. The major focus of this workshop is to look at the vacant positions that are being proposed, that the Members may want to cut these positions or delete them in order to have some savings. Another thing is to review the major fund balances in the City of Lynwood, we do have some issues with deficits and we want to review this deficits as well as some remedies that we are going to be offering in trying to resolve some of the deficits over a period of time. We are going to discuss some pending issues that deal with some contracts for Recreation and Media Services, staff has also provided some recommendations that the Members can take some action in trying to relieve some of the issues or deficits that we have currently in our budget, and the last thing is to have the Members provide staff with direction as to whether they want to go into phase three, which phase three would be dealing with the programs, services and projects and at that point we would determine potential savings. Again tonight staff wanted to give Members a recap of these budget amendments, and for the Members to make the decision of adopting the Resolution for the Operating Budget FY 2004-2005 to reflect line item budget changes in revenue and expenditures.
