In addition to cutting jobs...the city is also raising fees;

The garbage collection fee will increase from 15 to 17 dollars including a late payment fee.

And for motels, a $2 per room fee.

Officials say the new budget scheme saves more than one million dollars over the next fiscal year. The fee increases will take effect October 1st.
