When Governor Pawlenty took things into his own hands and balanced the state's budget through unallotment, there was a lot of uncertainty as to what it would mean for the public at large.News 12's Ryan Gustafson gives us a glimpse at the numerous changes Mankato has had to make to stay afloat.The Mankato City Council had a lot to look at tonight. City manager Patrick Hentges released his report of the major changes to services in Mankato.Cuts were everywhere, including the cancellation of a printed city calendar unless a sponsor can be found, as well as reductions in funding to numerous area organizations.The City Attorney will have an increased workload, and a multitude of city functions will be shifted online.Grass mowing, street sweeping and snow plowing will also take a hit.Patrick Hentges says, "We're not plowing streets less. But we're calling more snow emergencies. What is happening is our trucks used to plow almost continuously - being sensitive to parking on the street."A big switch will be ending the policy of shutting off utilities for delinquent bills.Instead, there will be a five-dollar fee plus a one percent charge added.The city expects to save nearly 1,400 staff hours a year by not having to manually shut off utilities.And there's more...Patrick Hentges says, "Most controversial item is utility statements will migrate to all property owners instead of the tenants, thereby reducing the problems we have more frequently with tenant-held accounts."Many of the cuts began at the start of the year, or even earlier, while some, like the newly introduced change in the utility ordinance will take effect in the summer.In Mankato, Ryan Gustafson, News 12.
