Elyria Budget Faces Zero Reserve for City
The Elyria budget shows a zero balance with a $2.3 million shortfall for the year. Mayor Bill Grace warns of further cuts if revenues miss estimates, including eliminating part-time staff, laying off 34 full-time workers, and deeper Parks and Recreation cuts. All elected-office employees will take a 10 percent pay reduction and one unpaid day per pay period. A Fire Department member alleges a taxpayer lawsuit may halt the proposal. Local Fire Union President Dean Marks would not discuss specifics.
