Nottingham City Council has revealed plans to make a further £25.5m in savings to its budget for 2014-15.
A total of 76 jobs are earmarked to go as a result of the budget cuts, which the council says are a result of the authority receiving less Government funding and other pressures to provide services required by law.
The proposed reduction comes on top of £95m of savings made by the council over the last three years.
As a result, the authority has warned that it is going to get harder to protect services.
Deputy Leader, Councillor Graham Chapman, said: "Year by year, the council's financial position gets more and more difficult as Government funding cuts continue to bite and the demand for some of our vital services gets bigger and bigger. The Government is contributing less money to fund council services and local people and businesses in general are contributing more.
"We've worked hard to manage our finances successfully over the last few years and protect services where we can despite the major cuts in our funding. We remain ambitious for the city and will do all we can with our private sector partners to support the local economy and provide jobs for local people.
"We will continue to take a careful and measured approach on behalf of our citizens but it's getting harder and harder as the funding cuts continue to bite but we have reached the point where simply squeezing out waste and becoming more efficient at what we do will not be enough to cover the huge reductions in funding we have to face."
A number of services will also face changes under the proposed budget, which is set to be discussed by the city council's Executive Board tomorrow.
They include a £1.3m saving in adult social care resulting from changing the way support for people living independently, and home care are delivered.
A further £750,000 is proposed to be saved by the council working more efficiently with Nottingham City Homes, while over £500,000 could be saved by changing children's centre opening hours and changing funding to Nottingham Futures.
The draft budget also contains plans for a proposed Council Tax increase of 1.95 per cent.
The city council is also forecasting that it will have to make a further £55m of savings by 2016-17.
A public consultation on the budget proposal is expected to be launched following the Executive Board meeting.
