Given the current fiscal constraints, new projects or services will require prioritization and potential trade-offs unless they can generate offsetting revenue. How might the City adjust current projects or services to accomplish any new priorities?

    1. Reduce or stop completely the amount of development and people coming into the city to lower expenses caused by more use of public services, as well as road and infrastructure wear and tear; thereby increasing the amount of open space which is far less maintenance than roads, homes, etc. Added bonus of every single city service and event needed less money poured into it. A city of 35-40k needs far fewer resources than a city of 60k.
    2. Cut back on the amount of bicycle related infrastructure changes, which provide little to no benefit for most of the population and only increase expenses; if you will be spending that money, more frequent bus transit services should be in place
    3. Lower the amount of city-sponsored programs and events, instead allowing non-city funded groups to apply and spend their own money to host events.
