Monreal on city finances


question: 
If city revenues decline, how should the city balance its budget? Would you cut services? If so, which ones? Would you raise taxes, fees or charges? If so, which ones?
answer: 

First, we need to find the waste and eliminate any duplicative city services. I will encourage input from City employees who best know where money can be saved. I also want to involve smart business people in finding the most efficient way to operate. And I want to hear from our citizens--what are people's priorities and where can we save money.
