This is a very draconian hypothetical plan
One Year Plan 2010 Arlington Massachusetts
1. Close Mount Pleasant Cemetery to further burials - retask 5 workers
2. End all maintenance of parks and ballfields - retask 5 workers
3. Eliminate all elementary school principals, clerks, and custodians - retask approx 40 people
4. Reorganize the police department - eliminate all desk jobs - retask approx 10 people
5. Do not fill Deputy Town Manager position
6. Combine Comptroller & Treasurer & Assessor positions
7. Reorganize Fire Department - operate 3 stations with 1 pumper, 2 quints, and 2 paramedic ambulances - cut manning at night to 4
8. Implement wage cuts for all Town workers - maybe 5% (5% of a $100M budget is $5M which is the possible shortfall) - increase health insurance contributions
9. Seek overide for $5M
10. Implement override of $2.5M, and implement pay cuts of $2.5M
11. Furloughs for some workers, but furloughs will reduce services
