Petition to Protect Essential City Services in Auburn, NY
We, the undersigned residents and supporters of the City of Auburn, strongly oppose the proposed budget cuts that would eliminate 20–50 city worker positions.
This is not just about jobs—this is about protecting the essential services that keep our community running every day.
City workers are responsible for maintaining our streets, caring for our parks, supporting infrastructure, and ensuring that Auburn remains a safe, clean, and functional place to live. Reducing this workforce will directly impact the quality and reliability of these services.
Fewer workers will mean:
Slower snow and ice removal
Delayed road and infrastructure repairs
Reduced maintenance of parks and public spaces
A decline in overall city services residents depend on
We understand that the city faces financial challenges, but cutting essential public services is not a solution our community can afford.
We respectfully call on city leadership to:
Reconsider these proposed cuts
Explore alternative solutions
Protect the services that Auburn residents rely on
Auburn deserves to remain a city that works—for everyone.
By signing below, we stand in support of protecting essential city services and the workers who provide them.
