GEORGE LATIMER (612) 298-4323
MAYOR
January 4 , 1981
Council President Hunt and
Honorable Members of the City Council
7th Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, MN 55102
Dear Council President and Members
of the City Council:
In accordance with Section 10. 07. 03 of the City Charter, I am
informing you that there will be a significant revenue shortage
for financing the adopted 1982 general fund budget.
As you know, state and federal aids used to finance the 1982
city budget have been cut back significantly, but we do not
know the exact amount nor when the amount will be determined.
At this time, the city has no options to increase local
revenues: the only course of action is to reduce expenditures.
The budget director has prepared estimates of revenue loss and
corresponding deficits. Based on his analysis and recommendation,
spending will be cut by at least five million dollars, or eight
percent of the variable cost budget of sixty-seven million dollars.
I am prepared to take a swift course of action to address the
projected budget deficits. If decision making on spending cuts
were to be delayed until exact revenue losses are known, then
"overspending" , during the period of uncertainty, would force
more painful service cuts during the latter part of the 1982
budget year. It is, therefore, imperative to act as soon as
possible to reduce the impact of the necessary cuts.
Sincerely,
, :

January 6, 1981
Ruby Aunt, Council President
City Council Members of Saint Paul
Seventh Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Council Members:
This afternoon I decidec7, after consulting with the Finance,
Management and Personnel Co�nittee Chairman, George McMahon and the
Department Directors that I would best serve the City organization if
I announce my decisions on spending reductions as soon as possible.
Rather than wait until next week to announce these difficult
decisions, I decided to announce the painful spending cuts at a press
conference this evening. This accelerated action will allow affected
employees a three week notification period instead of the customary
two weeks. This swift action will eliminate confusion and uncertainty
and will allow the affected employees a little more time to make
personal decisions.
I anticipate that most layoff notices will be delivered by the end of
this week. All of our department directors are committed to informing
the affected employees of their bargained rights and to assisting them
in securing new job opportunities.
A copy of the spending reductions I will be implementing is attached
for your information. The budget director will be providing the
detail within the next few days.
Sincerely,
- , 'v____ __.
