DETROIT -- Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick met with City Council on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of more worker layoffs and cuts to city services to eliminate a budget shortfall, Local 4 reported.

City Council said they subpoenaed Kilpatrick to come to Tuesday's budget meeting, but Kilpatrick said he never received the subpoena and planned on coming anyway, Local 4 reported.

Kilpatrick said that Detroit's budget deficit is now at $139 million and he's taking additional steps to bridge the gap.

The mayor said there will be more layoffs apart from police and fire, including 71 full-time workers in several departments and 332 seasonal employees. The cuts are expected to save the city about $27 million, the station reported.

Kilpatrick said bulk trash collection would be eliminated after Christmas time and the city will try to renew a residency requirement for police officers. About 43 percent of Detroit's officers live outside of the city, according to the mayor.

Kilpatrick said more cuts would be coming if the unions don't agree to health care concessions and days without pay.

"We need our unions to step up with us now," Kilpatrick said.

The mayor has been under mounting criticism from City Council that he's not moving quickly enough to balance the budget.

"Every day we are going further into deficit," said Councilwoman Barbara-Rose Collins.

But Kilpatrick said it's important that the city's leaders "keep calm heads and keep politics out."

"We are nowhere near receivership, and that's why I wanted to let this honorable body know we can't do this in the politics of fear," Kilpatrick said. "We just need to make some real tough, aggressive decisions."

Recent polls show Kilpatrick trailing challenger Freman Hendrix by a wide margin in his bid for re-election, but the mayor told Local 4 that he doesn't believe the poll numbers.
