The team, consisting of individuals from local institutions, businesses and nonprofit organizations as well as community members, will meet with city staff to discuss possible ideas for spending reductions, ways to increase revenue and improve services, among other topics.

The team will meet regularly to provide the city with additional ideas and suggestions for improving services and running the city more efficiently. The recovery team consists of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott of Pittsburgh and Public Financial Management of Philadelphia.
