Cedar Rapids budget debate signals tax hikes and possible layoffs
City officials outlined budget alternatives to cover a shortfall of $1.4 million. Keeping the tax rate would add $550,000 to the general fund but raise residential taxes 3.78 percent, still needing $855,000 and 3.7 percent service cuts. A 14 percent tax increase would raise $785,000 yet require a 2.7 percent service reduction, while a 5 percent rise could add $1.475 million with no staff cuts. Mayor Canney and Council members weigh options including a four-day work week and targeting seasonal layoffs to ease hardship. Residential share of valuation rises from 49.91 percent to 50.71 percent of a $2.15 billion total.
