II. "plans to cut $13.3 million out of the 2009 general-fund budget and said he will spend $5 million of the city's rainy-day fund to close a budget gap"
2. Cuts to be made specifically
I. "cutting 59 positions in July"
II. "100 other employees will take an unpaid week off this year"
III. "no cuts to direct human services or to police officers."
IV. "Most city departments will take between a 1 and 3 percent cut"
ETC ...
3. Public "reaction"/meeting
I. "A group of city employees is planning an "informational picket" outside City Hall on Monday morning from 7 to 8:30 a.m. to protest the mayor's cuts"
II. "Nickels will brief the City Council on Monday about the cuts"
