Don't believe everyhting you read in the backup for the Commission meeting. The reduction of 47 FTEs was done in the current year (10-11), not part of the budget to be approved. There are a number of positions being created or upgraded with salary increases such as the Economic Development Manager and a revenue officer. and no mention is made of the $2.7 million cost overrun on the beach project.
