Municipal finance director here: I agree with the HR manager: times are rough all around. Where I work, over 73% of our operating expenditures are related to personnel, and around 70% of our operating revenue is tax based (property and sales). We don’t have much room to cut with supplies, street repair, etc and hit the service level we’re charged with. We really don’t have positions to cut, but if the market dips that’s a real possibility. Regarding inflation: we don’t have a special city store to buy things from, so we get hit with those costs also. Finances are very tight.
