Accounting
portion which allow the transfer of funds and people Mr. Ferguson made a
presentation on process improvements as a result the collaborative effort of
the Council and Administration. The key points discussed: ·
Moving
from silos to synergy between managers and team members on behalf of the
taxpayers ·
Progressing
from paper in units and process known only to a few to near Real-Time
Analytics available to Council Members, media and taxpayers ·
Savings ·
Post-Reform
Proposed moves Mr. Ferguson shared
that Administration believed that Reform has been much more than moving boxes
around on an organizational chart.
Therefore, post-Phase One reform of the government has been focused on
continuous process improvement. Council Members
Schellenberg and Crescimbeni discussed their views about the initial
presentation to Council about the amount the City would save with reorganization
versus Administration’s current position. The savings of 10-15% stated by
Administration is not what is being CM Schellenberg
referenced a comment in the newspaper made by Mr. David DeCamp that City
Council was responsible for increase of legislative cost. CM Schellenberg requested the dollar amount
of the cost from Mr. Ferguson prior to the vote at Council meeting. CM Yarborough
inquired whether there would be a read only version of JaxAnalytics
as helpful tool for the Special Budget Analysis Committee. Mr. Ferguson
committed to Council and internal users to have access of the system by May
to allow completion of the project. CM Brown shared his
concern of the impact of reorganization considering the distribution of work
based on the dissolution of numerous of position whether merged or
eliminated. He wanted to know how will it be determined if work is being done
from a technology aspect. Ms. Bowling shared that structure must be put in
place to begin to gather better data.
She stated Administration is working to create systems to see
improvements of services to taxpayers. CM Crescimbeni
commented that the initial expected 10-15% savings is not justified because
the rearranging of boxes is just good business practices. He wants to address
Special Events and Sports Entertainment under Economic Development at a later
date. CM Gaffney
expressed concerns about reorganization included: ·
efficiency
and transparency of the process ·
projects
going on and Council Members not finding out until attendance is requested ·
unfamiliarity of Chiefs/Department
Heads. ·
communication with Council
from Administration as it relates to having a partnership. CM Gaffney
suggested that Administration engage District Council Members more
often. Ms. Bowling stated that every
Chief would schedule a meeting CM Gaffney during his allotted time within
next 2-3 weeks to discuss their focus and intended accomplishments. She
committed to doing a better job. This process involves the development of
score cards that list focus items, goals and measurement systems for the
Council Member to ensure quality dialogue that district. CM Joost commented
that he has a meeting with several disgruntled roofers about the permitting
process and considering the Administration’s intentions with Economic
Development and improving process, he invited the Ms. Bowling or Mr. Ferguson
to attend a meeting. Ms. Bowling stated an invitation had been extended and committed
to attend. CM Brown made a
recommendation that Administration work closer with employees that are doing
the work to ensure that knowledge is being captured and services are being
provided. CM Lumb explained
he felt the loss of institutional knowledge that occurred when this
Administration replaced long term employees has had a greater impact on
almost anything else in terms of managerial efficiency. He intended to support the bill based on
the fact an Administration is granted leeway to make changes. CM Lumb
expressed if the goal of the Administration is to finely calibrate the
function of local government come July 15th, there should not be a
budget put on City Council with 13.88 percent across the board cuts because
it shows an enormous disconnect with conversation about managerial and operation
efficiency and what Administration actually intends to due in regards to
budget decisions and prioritizing spending. |
