Shutting down City Hall and sending workers home for 10 days next year may save enough money to avoid a new round of staff cuts.
“Instead of more permanent layoffs, this is a tool that a number of cities are using to balance budgets,” said Mayor Darlene Kordonowy.
Following the lead of King County, the city may institute unpaid staff furloughs to fill growing budget gaps. The City Council on Wednesday will consider approval of a mayor-backed agreement with city workers that would shut down all nonessential city services for 10 days spread throughout the year, typically on Fridays.
Under the proposal, the city would save an estimated $371,000 in 2009 and $387,000 in 2010.
