This year, Maplewood opts against layoffs
The city cut 5 employees last year, but when it came time to decide on two more layoffs, the council chose to seek other savings instead. ... But the bulk of the City Council's debate on the budget this week focused on a proposal to lay off two city planners and a business-licensing specialist. The debate rekindled memories of the 2007 city budget, which resulted in five key city staff members being laid off as part of a controversial city reorganization. The budget that was ultimately approved cancels the proposed layoffs but directs city department leaders to find other ways to shave $250,000 from budgets -- the cost of retaining the employees.
