The City of Dallas is facing a $30M budget shortfall and has announced three furlough days to help address the issue. The furloughs will affect over 4,000 non-uniform city employees, including those working at the city’s libraries, which will be closed on July 10, September 4, and September 28.
Affected Departments and Services
Community centers across the area may have modified hours during the furlough days. However, all emergency and critical services, such as Dallas Water Utilities, Sanitation, and Love Field/Executive Airport, will remain operational.
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has released a statement emphasizing the need for spending reductions and examining every part of the municipal government for opportunities to reduce spending. He believes that the city should not raise taxes without addressing the deeper fiscal challenges.
