The funds saved from these cuts will be redirected towards addressing the influx of illegal migrants that have entered the sanctuary city since President Joe Biden took office. Johnston emphasized that these initial cuts are just the beginning and that there may be more reductions in city services in the future.

The first areas to be impacted by these cuts are the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the Parks and Recreation department. On-call and seasonal workers will be the most affected by these changes.
