Specific Options for Reducing Staffing Costs

This is part of the Reduction Committee Tasks.

As we review everything, we need to spell out what specific measures we could take. We'll need to estimate the financial costs and savings of each, the other costs (staffing shortages, impact on programs, etc.), and the problems associated with each option.

Target #1 = $2,700.

Target #2 = $5,400 (including target #1).
