Prosser says Cedar Rapids will change how services are delivered as budgets demand real cuts. Kris Gulick notes weeks of service reductions and a proposed tax increase, with owners of 100000 dollar homes paying about seven dollars more and 100000 dollar commercial buildings forty two dollars.

The Blueprint for the Future Task Force will seek public input to cut duplication in accounting fleet maintenance and IT.
