With voters saying no to raising property taxes there will be no money to cover the city's 27-million dollar budget shortfall and that means there will be cuts, likely across the board to police, fire, parks and transit.

Starting Monday city council will figure out how to move forward. They will start looking at what will be cut based on the recommendations made by the city manager. The city says public safety is their number one priority, but there is still some concern about what that will mean to our community.

Katie Uebelhower and Rachel Riley are worried. Their husbands are both Colorado Springs Police Officers and while their husbands jobs aren't on the line they're concerned about the cuts that may be made.

"I'm concerned about my husbands safety while he's at work because there's going to be less officers on the road, they are going to have less back-up when they need it," said Uebelhower.

"I'm worried we are going to lose good officers," Riley said.

A total of 23 police officers are at risk of losing their jobs now that measure 2Chas failed.

"I was just really disappointed, I really hoped the voters would see the importance of it and realize it was important city services," Uebelhower said.

Also on the chopping block are 22 firefighters’ jobs.

"Response times are going to go up," said Mark Smaldino, president of the local firefighters’ union, International Association of Firefighters Local 5. he says they are just anxious. All they can do now is wait to see what cuts city council decides to make.

"Even if they take all of parks and all of transit they are still going to have to touch public safety, we are in for a different community. Our community is going to change," Smaldino said.

Mayor Lionel Rivera says the city will continue to operate, they will just do so with fewer resources.

"The message was pretty clear. When someone sends you a message two-to-one that they don't want to raise their taxes, make do with what you have, that's exactly what we are going to do," Rivera said.

63 percent of voters said no to 2C, some saying it's a bad time to raise taxes, others saying it was about a lack of trust in our city government.

"The tax increase didn't solve the problem for me," said Kim Thornton, a Colorado Springs resident who voted no. Thornton says she think’s the problem is poor money management.

With public safety still the city's priority Rivera says the majority of the cuts will be made to the parks department and to transit. They'll consider all options; layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts.

The final 2010 budget will be released in the first part of December.
