Elyria faces a $100,000 shortfall in the central maintenance garage fund blamed on weak cost controls. Mayor Bowman's administration may raise flat rates to fix the deficit while garage chief Bobby Jones argues current labor rates at $9.75 are too low. Finance chair Alan Zaleski says pro rating costs to departments could prevent further shortfalls.
