From the Elkhart Truth:
Mayor Dick Moore announced that furloughs planned for all Elkhart city employees in 2013 will not be necessary after all.
Moore announced Monday afternoon that city department heads have turned over enough leftover funds from their 2012 budgets to cover the cost of fully employing all city workers in the new year.
Under Moore’s budget plan, the city was ready to implement three-day furloughs for all city police and firefighters and five-day furloughs for all other city workers.
The furloughs were part of an overall $1.9 million budget-cutting effort proposed by Moore after city officials learned that they would have significantly less property tax revenues than earlier expected.
...
The city council will meet Jan. 7 and will likely have an ordinance ready for consideration, fully restoring funding for city employees, said Arvis Dawson, assistant to the mayor.
