 <description>&lt;p&gt;Plan could include wage freeze and dip into budget reserves&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the city of Eden Prairie, the rainy day has arrived. That means this fall, as staff and council members gear up for the next two-year budget cycle, it may be the time when the city taps into its rainy day fund.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;City Manager Scott Neal said that the goal is to keep the tax levy flat into 2010 and 2011. To make that feasible, the city would keep employee wages flat in 2010 and tap into its reserve – more formally known as the budget stabilization fund, which currently has approximately $5 million in it.&lt;/p&gt;
