"In a unanimous vote last week, the City Council authorized adjustments that cut back on funding for fire and police service, as well as road maintenance, while backfilling a shortfall in planning revenues that will temporarily stave off additional layoffs.\nThe council has previously discussed how the slumping housing market is the reason behind a downturn in revenue from the city&amp;#39;s engineering, planning, and building departments. These revenue shortfalls were also cited as the reason for the city dismissing 10 employees by March of this year."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
