Facing a default budget after voters rejected the operating budget 60-40, departments confront $194,000 in fire cuts, $65,000 in IT increases, and $435,000 in deferred equipment purchases.
Fire Chief Benjamin Selleck reported emergency calls surged 30 percent, while Police Chief Eric Sereno called the fiscal situation the most challenging in his 20 years of service.
