Scenario #1: cut 3.5FTE admin staff @ $87,500 and
                  cut 42.3 other staff @ $1,057,000
                   close Walker, close tech centers at Franklin & 
Hosmer extra days
                   close Franklin & Sumner during reconstruction (no 
substation)
                   shorten community library hours

Scenario #2: cut 2.5 admin staff @ $75,000 and
                  cut 49.3 other staff @ $1,378,500
                   close Walker, close tech centers at Franklin & 
Hosmer extra days
                   close Franklin & Sumner during reconstruction (no 
substation)
                   shorten community library hours

Scenario #3:  cut admin staff 4.5FTE @ $112,500 and
                   cut other staff 44.8FTE @ $153,000
                   close Walker, Roosevelt, Southeast, and Webber Park
What I notice is that those who serve the public directly and are paid 
less/each are drastically cut.
Those in administration, who make the greatest salaries, are cut little. 
Many Admin. staff make $80,000 to over $100,000. Line staff don't get 
close to that amount.

This tells me that the library admin. does not consider serving the 
public as the primary role of the library. This is why we needed a new 
director.
