Due to budget constraints, Lake Forest Park City Hall will be closed on Friday, July 13, 2012 for a scheduled furlough day. The police department, public works department and the municipal court will remain open for service on Friday.
In 2010, City Council adopted a budget for 2011-2012 which included five furlough days per year and a 2% pay reduction for the City's managerial, professional and exempt employees. The City's maintenance workers represented by Teamsters Local 117 also agreed to a 2% pay reduction and five furlough days per year for 2011-2012. The remaining furlough days for 2012 are scheduled on July 13, August 31, and December 24.
This type of thing is now a common occurrence. It seems to me the City of Shoreline should consider doing something similar to tighten their budget.
