| PART OF THE PROBLEM GOVERNMENT FACES IS HOW TO USE THE LIMITED RESOURCES (TAXES & FEES) IN AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE MANNER. ONE MAJOR ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO AN AGENCYS BUDGET IS "A USE IT OR LOOSE IT POLICY" WHICH FORCES DEPARTAMENTS TO ASK FOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND USE EVERY CENT EVEN IF IT MEANS SPENDING IT ON ITEMS IT DOES NOT NEED. WE HOPEFULLY HIRE MANAGERS FOR THEIR EXPERTISE IN IMPLEMENTING COST EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT. FOR THIS REASON I WOULD REQUIRE A 5% REDUCTION PER YEAR FOR EVERY DEPARTAMENT. IF THE DEPARTAMENT HEAD CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT SPENDING MONEY ON A PROJECT WOULD SAVE MONEY, LOWER LABOR COSTS AND/OR IMPROVE QUALITY THEN THE MONEY WOULD BE ALLOCATED. | |||||||||||||
| AS A CITY WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES. WE MUST LEARN TO WORK SMARTER NOT NECESSARILY HARDER |
