The city of Stuart has cut 12 jobs to save nearly $1 million as the new fiscal year begins.
The move is part of an effort to reduce costs, with the number of job cuts potentially rising to 16 over the next few weeks, representing three percent of the city's total workforce, according to CBS12's reporter Jack Wu.
City Manager Michael Mortell emphasizes the difficulty of the process, saying it is constantly on his mind.
As of this writing, details on the positions eliminated, refilled, or affected individuals are unclear.
