Manhattan city staff has changed their approach to the 2025 budget after commissioners last month indicated they would not support the proposed $2 million worth of reductions which would primarily be personnel cuts.
Commissioners deliberated Tuesday on ways to decrease costs for 2025 and beyond in order to reduce expenditures and increase its general fund balance.
The city is looking to do this through a combination of personnel reductions, increasing cost recovery, finding operational efficiencies, and utilizing alternative funding sources where possible.
