Rio Vista has cut a third of its city workers and slashed its recreation budget to $29,000 from about $250,000. The city is looking into selling more than 100 acres of its land for revenue. Since July 2007, Rio Vista has cut $1 million from its $7 million budget but still faces an $800,000 shortfall. “The fact we are a small town makes it more difficult to handle this slide we are on,” says Rio Vista Mayor Jan Vick.
