Below please find a list of workplace adjustments and
savings that add up to over $2 million over the past few years. Taking these steps have helped reduce the
amount of additional revenue we are currently requesting from the taxpayers
through Issue 14. Because of the repeal
of the estate tax, a decline in the Local Government Fund from the State of
Ohio, and the expiration of federal stimulus grants funding safety forces –
Elyria must replace at least some of the $4.5 million will are losing to
maintain quality safety services.
