Late Monday morning, the City Council announced a new budget of $ 390 million.

It pumps up the parking tax from 31 percent to 50 percent, the highest in the nation. The new parking tax increase takes effect Feb. 1, instead of in July. The new date, and the tax increase, will raise about $3 million.

But it also means 99 part- and full-time workers will be rehired who had been laid off during previous budget cuts.

The new budget allows for 900 officers to patrol the streets. Officials said 11 officers will return to work Monday, 24 others will return after council makes final vote.

And while the mayor won't sign it, he won't veto it either, allowing it to become law.

Council will vote on the amended budget Tuesday.
