In reality you can either raise taxes and spend that money to keep everything. Cut services or do a combination of the two.

Doing a combination of the two is the best. With tax rises being the main way. IMO
Cutting wages of employees is going to hit every local business where those employees spend their money. That will hit the economy in that area very hard. Expect to shops cutting staff, even closing and workers and businesses no longer paying taxes.
Spreading the burden of paying for the services the City Employees provide is the best way. Yet Americans have the illusion that roads get built and maintained, firemen and police get funded, out of thin air. And the money paid out is automatically lost into some mystery void.
