Chico Leaders got a crash course in budgeting Tuesday, as they spend all day weighing the city's new fiscal plan. Administrative Services Director Chris Constentin told them past budget practices are what got the city into an almost 5 million dollar hole, and he wants the city council in the driver's seat, with more control over city spending. The 42 million dollar budget plans to eliminate a 4 point 8 million dollar hole, meaning a 10 percent cut to all departments, including police and fire. The Council voted 5-2 to approve the budget...But the council wants to look at options to restore six police officer positions.
