Snook Has Ideas For Council Cost Cutting

The city's budget won't be ready until sometime in January. Ward 3 Common Councillor Donnie Snook already has some ideas on where he would like to see the budget cut.
He says one way is to reduce city management would be to not fill two vacant deputy city manager positions. Snook says those jobs account for significant dollars. 
Snook also says Council will have to take a hard look at the police and fire budgets because of the salaries.
He's even floating the idea of using volunteer firefighters in the outskirts of the city.
