<br />. <br /> <br />FY 2004-05 City <br />June 7, 2004 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Budget <br /> <br />Although the City workforce is already extremely efficient, we recognize <br />that any significant long-term decrease in expenditures necessary to <br />address the deficit requires additional reductions in personnel. By <br />changing the scope of some programs, redeploying our safety service <br />resources to accommodate a reduction in personnel allocations, identifying <br />some additional service areas that are conducive to general service <br />contracting, eliminating the DARE program and one of the two bookmobiles <br />in the Library, offering early retirement incentives in order to eliminate <br />positions in a variety of departments, and employing the quality program <br />tools to identify process improvements, we have incorporated the reduction <br />of 38 positions in this budget proposal. This brings the total workforce <br />allocation to 1,706, which equates to a ratio of 4.8 employees per 1,000 <br />residents and demonstrates a significant improvement in operational <br />efficiencies; in FY 1986-87, the ratio was 7.5 employees per 1,000 <br />residents. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />With approval of the proposed budget, $367,166,425 will be appropriated <br />to the City's various departments, programs and enterprise activities. Of <br />that amount $187,396,985 will be appropriated to the various General Fund <br />operating departments, with an additional $8,962,565 for redevelopment <br />pass-throughs, for a total of $196,359,550 proposed for the General Fund. <br /> <br /> <br />R.'
