Musikfest plans to cut its employment of city officers by 10 percent for this year’s festival, part of a larger change that also reduces fire, emergency medical and public works services from the city. All the changes total a reduction of about $50,000 from the $285,000 Musikfest paid Bethlehem in 2011.
