After the smoke cleared away from the Yonkers budget a month ago,

there was fire.

Mayor Mike Spano, a Democrat who won the job last year with the

backing of labor, is squaring off with the Yonkers Fire Local 628 with

the hope of squeezing a few million in savings: about $5 million in

overtime costs that the mayor says is a result of firefighters abusing

an unlimited sick-time perk.

The problem for the mayor is that union has a lot of muscle, and it'll

be sure to take this fight to the streets, courtrooms and airwaves.

Union leaders also say work shortages on any given day occur

because the department is understaffed.

But Spano's bigger problem is that even if he gets someconcessions, the city still needs something like 17 times that $5

million amount just to plug holes in next year's budget, which should

come in just under $1 billion. The city needs much more in outlying

years.

You can't envy the mayor's position, since even commonsense

measures like trimming overtime or consolidating the Yonkers

Parking Authority meet so much resistance. If he's going to get the

city's fiscal house in order, labor, which makes up 80 percent of

expenses, won't be immune.

But even those types of cuts won't be enough.

Just this week the mayor tried to pull two trucks -- an engine and a

ladder -- out of service per shift if firefighters call in sick on any given

tour. The reduction of trucks translates into less OT -- he says five

trucks, instead of six, would be able to respond to emergencies.

But the union cried foul, saying this is a safety and contract issue. It

filed a grievance, took the city to court and won a temporary

restraining order that keeps the trucks, and firefighters, where they

were: 57 firefighters per shift citywide. The two sides will reconvene

in court on Aug. 30.

"There's a grave risk to the citizens of Yonkers and also firefighters," said Richard Corenthal, an

attorney with Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, representing the fire union. "The city is violating the

contract and endangering the welfare" of people.

Safety is always a delicate issue and when you take on one of the strongest unions in a union town,

you might get burned. Spano knows this, but believes he has a fed-up public behind him. A judge will

sort out the contract dispute, but there's also the court of public opinion.

This one example is a microcosm of the city's bigger problems. It can't afford to provide basic

services. The broader challenge for Spano is to find the nickels, dimes and dollars, so the city can

avoid a state-imposed financial control board, or worse, bankruptcy.

It really is that bad.

A report by the Commission of Inquiry, led by former Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch and former state

Assemb. Richard Brodsky, concluded that Yonkers has an $89-million hole to fill next year and $465

million over the next three.

Regardless of what happens with the fire department, the mayor is facing more bare-knuckle budget

brawls with police, sanitation and teachers -- and the taxpayers who will face higher bills in the coming

years. "This is an opportunity to do something," he told me recently.

For too long, cities like Yonkers have relied on one-shots, patchwork and gimmicks -- in Yonkers'

case, about $500 million in recent years, or about the same tally as its projected three-year deficit.

Brodsky, a former Democratic assemblyman from Greenburgh who is now a senior fellow at New

York University's Robert F. WagnerGraduate School of Public Service, says we're watching the

Yonkers chief executive trying to "change the culture and conversation."

That will take time.

"They're already on the right path. The problem is that the path can be long and windy," Brodsky said.

"This is just the beginning of the conversation."

Talk is good. But Yonkers needs some action. The alarms have sounded.

The problem is the Mayor chooses not to have any conversation at all. He lets the

Dep Mayor dictate things and he will not talk with labor leaders. We backed Mike

for Mayor and now he blames the unions for the shortfalls while he continues to

give deals to developers and takes care of friends and family.
