[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Request and Questions on Budget Memo

[cmosupport at bouldercolorado.gov]

Sender: Young, Mary


Hi Jane,

On page 13 of the not-updated Study Session Packet for 9/8 (budget memo) is a bar graph of the number of employees between 2002 through proposed for 2016. A screen shot is attached. To better understand where we have been and where we are going in terms of number of employees as they relate to city services, I would like to see this same graph broken out by funds: utilities, open space and general fund. For the general fund, I would like to see it further broken out by number of employees for internal versus external functions.

In general, what are the needs that will be met in 2016 that were not met in 2011 with respect to city services?

The memo states that ". . .continued investments in the organizations facilitate opportunities to improve efficiencies and develop innovative solutions that reduce the cost of services long-term and increase capacity to implement existing Master and Strategic Plans . . .." How do we determine whether or not the reductions in cost of services will pay for the organizational investments?

These requests and answers may be included within the staff presentation for tomorrow. No need for a separate email.

Thank you.

Best,

Mary Dolores Young
