Vice Mayor/Authority Member/Commissioner deHaan stated opportunities are available to use overtime to make up the delta; the City has obtained a portion of the Beltline property. louncilmember/Authority Member/Commissioner Tam stated getting another fire station seems ludicrous if staffing would be reduced. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated that she would be reluctant to have Council use the $400,000 for overtime without further analysis.
