Resolved: That it is the sense of the Malden City Council that during this time of

budgetary constraints the Council is committed to the principles of fiscal responsibility and the efficient management of public funds that prioritize essential services and long-term financial stability.

The Council wishes to demonstrate a pledge of shared sacrifice and budgetary discipline and therefore requests the Honorable Mayor Gary Christenson cut specific discretionary monies and reallocate for use in the general fund in the following ways which will result in savings of $180,500 for the upcoming fiscal year: 1. The elimination of the line items associated with Ward Improvement Funds; 2. The elimination of the line items associated with Fourth of July Funds;
