(RICHFIELD) – The Richfield Mayor and city council will meet this month with all department heads to discuss further cuts in the city’s budget. At the city council meeting last week, Mayor Brad Ramsay asked councilmembers if they would like to meet with the city departments to discuss budgets. All councilmembers agreed and set a date of Mar. 24-25 at 7pm at the city council chambers. Ramsay said all budgets will be reviewed and discussed to cut all unnecessary items in each department’s budget. Also at the meeting, the Mayor commented that the large flower pots along main street will be removed to further places down the street for aesthetic purposes. Finance Director Mike Langston said the cost of re-placement of the pots would be taken from money left over from the Main Street Enhancement Project.
