My math tells me the average pay would need to be $147K/year to get the $2.2M savings. But many of these positions are suppose to be paid well below $100K? Either we have been way overpaying some of these positions or there is a mistake in the savings?

Anyway, other areas impacted include the library, youth programs, parks maintenance, fire department to a lesser degree, among other areas. These cuts have not yet been approved, so we do not truly know how many of the positions will actually be cut.

What I have not read is whether there is any progress in the two-tier benefits program. I hope the council is not dropping this critical budget cutting process that desperately needs to be implemented, if we are to keep Redwood City's government costs down.
