Meeting held over council budget
Aberdeen City Council's budget monitoring board is meeting to discuss millions of pounds of cutbacks.
The council is facing a £25m shortfall next year, and the board is being warned that the quality and quantity of services could suffer.
Chief officers have been asked to develop options for reducing the cost of planned services by 6%.
That should take into account efficiency savings ordered by the Scottish Government for all councils.
Aberdeen City Council's deputy leader Kevin Stewart previously admitted some of the £50m savings already targeted by the local authority this year were too ambitious.
