For the second time in less than a year, city officials in once fast-growing Palmdale are being forced to lay off employees and make other cutbacks to cope with lagging revenues and fiscal uncertainty.
The City Council on Thursday night approved a plan to cut 14 employees, nine full-time and five part-time; reduce two full-time workers to part-time status, and eliminate funding for six vacant positions. The targeted jobs were spread over a range of city departments.
