Recession to be topic of Workshop

The Wellington City Council will meet for a special workshop Thursday, February 12th to discuss our nation's recession, and prioritize spending for the 2009 Fiscal Year. Concerned about the economy and layoffs of aircraft industry workers, the Council feels there needs to be a "plan of action" in the event the City needs to curb costs. The consensus of the Council was that projects and expenditures should be cut before layoffs of employees were considered, therefore the 2009 Capital Improvement Budget will be reviewed as well as other contractual and commodity items. The workshop will be held at City Hall beginning at 6:30p.m.
