"On any day, Titusville residents visit City Hall to pay bills and do other business but next beginning Nov. 9, they won't be able to do that.  To save money, the city is shutting down for a day and sending most workers home without pay.The worst case scenario is that the city will shut down every other Friday through September.  For employees, the change adds up to a pay cut of 10 percent.City Manager Mark Ryan said the city's pension costs have risen six-fold in just the past seven years.  Add that to Titusville's other woes and the city doesn't have the money to pay all its bills.  \"I've got no choice but to implement further programs in November,\" said Ryan.The city that proudly serves as the gateway to the Kennedy Space Center suffers more than most from the end of the shuttle program with its thousands of layoffs.A city worker told us it'll be hard to pay mortgages, and some taxpayers said the city should cut waste, not workers' pay.Police officers and firefighters will stay on the job, but their bosses won't, and their administrative offices will close.Trash pickup will take place on schedule.  The city manager said the only way to avoid more furloughs is to reduce the pension costs.  Negotiations with city unions are underway."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
