At the January 2 meeting, Chris Olson came back with the compiled results of the Dec. 30 prioritization exercise, in which, after a long discussion, council members and staff placed dots next to items in a list of options for cutting expenses and raising revenues. Olson also presented a sample plan, and council discussed details. The next meeting is Monday, 6 pm; the new deadline for submitting the DEP to the Michigan Department of Treasury is midnight that day. Council will finalize the plan and it will be transmitted electronically.
