While we are ir better position to weather the recession, we also have a number of areas that require funds. These areas include the water system, fire hall, city hall, redevelopment projects, and the downtown liquor facility, Our biggest challenge will be to find the -ecessary resources with0ut jeopardizing our level of service either in the ~hort term or in the long run, I !! Most of our revenue sources are dependent on the decisions made in. the State Capitol. Hopefully, we will know very shortly the amount of reductions that we will be asked to cc~tribute to the shortfall. r I I f
