• MAYOR'S SELECT COMMI
ON GOVERNMENTAL EFFICIEN
BACKGROUND• •
The City Council recognizes that organizations can stand to profit
from a periodic thoughtful review of present practices and
operations in hopes of identifying areas where changes can be made
to increase effectiveness and efficiency of operations. To this
end, a Mayor's Select Committee on Governmental Efficiency is
created. The creation of this Committee is not an indictment
against the manner and way the City is being managed or the City
staff or ndministration. It certainly is not the intent for this
Committee to became a forum to air grievances against persons or
procedures, or to be used as a political baseball bat, but rather
an opportunity to tap the talents and expertise of local business
and professional people.
5 to,7 members appointed by the Mayor, using nominations from the
City Council and applications from the public. Desired
qualifications include a background in business, management,
accounting, personnel management and related fields. Preference
will be given to applicants who have a proven successful track
record. Applicants may be currently employed or retired.
CHARGE:
Examine each City Department to:
a. identify areas where savings can be made in time,
effort or money expended;
b, identify areas where duplication of effort exists;
C. identify obsolete operating methods and procedures;
d. affirm policies and procedures that are effective
and efficient;
e. make specific recommendations on how to increase
operational efficiency.
This Committee is advisory only and has no authority whatsoever.
The Committee will have the freedom to examine all City
departments, finances, operations, etc. Department Heads and
staff are to cooperate with the Committee and give them whatever
assistance they can. The Committee must operate on a schedule
that is convenient to both the Committee members and City
employees. Reasonable secretarial and clerical help will be
provided by the City as needed.
It is not expected that this task will be done overnight, but
rather will need several months. No comments shall be made until
the final report is completed and forwarded to the City Council.
At that time, it is expected the Chairperson of the Committee will
be the spokesperson for the Committee. When the report is issued,
each Committee member will be paid a stipend, as set by the City
Council.
