What didn’t make it in the budget requests . . .

The list is long . . . I’ve posted 56 requests from most departments here and the 30 police and fire requests here.

The long list of supplemental requests includes some pretty amazing things. The full list of community services items is at the bottom of this list but the list also includes:

Childcare assistance, Allied Drive Weed and Seed Coordinator, an Economic Development Plan, Homeless Services, Neighborhood Center, Community Gardens, Homeless Outreach on State St., Jobs for the Future, Library Books and Services, additional bus services, disability services, EOC outreach and education, sanding and snow removal services, health services for people with no insurance coverage, pedestrian safety programs, energy reduction programs, senior center items and services and some city employees. Take a look for yourself.

Below are the “various programs” being cut from Community Services.
