Yes. It has been decided to close recreation centers, pick up yard trimmings and recyclable materials biweekly instead of once a week and reduce the city’s permitting staff by 20 percent. Mayor Shirley Franklin announced a series of reductions last month that will plug the rest of the deficit, including employee furloughs, a hiring freeze and a drawdown of $12 million from the city’s reserves.
