Member McHugh asked about the large number of lay-offs from the Planning and Building department. Executive Secretary Willis explained that due to the economic downturn, there are very few construction permits or remodeling permits being requested and as such, there is very little work for the Planning and Building department. Member McHugh asked if the City is well positioned budget wise. Executive Secretary Willis stated that the City approved a balanced budget on August 3, 2009. She stated that there was still some questions about the State budget and whether or not the City would have to cut more in redevelopment. However, for the time being, the City is operating under a balanced budget. Jill Kovacs brought to the attention of the Board the fact that three previously laid off employees had been rehired by the City into other positions. These were not the same classification from which they were laid off, but they were able to come back to work for the City. Executive Secretary Willis stated that the notices to the employees at the Golf Course went out and these lay offs would occur by the end of the year. She stated that the City is posting all jobs internally first to provide an opportunity for these impacted employees to stay on with the City in other jobs such as the custodian and maintenance worker positions. Member McHugh moved and Member Horikoshi seconded to approve the Activity Report. Motion passed 4-0. 6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA (PUBLIC COMMENT) There was no one present from the public. 7.
