The Overview of Rye’s Recommendation is as follows:
1. Create a Sustainable Budget Task Force
2. Hold a number of Workshops and Meetings between now and 2010 to identify key issues, review cost saving and revenue raising opportunities, and present ideas to City Council.
3. Hire a Budget Consultant to act as a liaison between Council, the City Manager, and the Sustainable Budget Task Force.
