Improvement Package Summary
1 of 3
This decision package would provide funding for the replacement of the recycled desktop computer that
was installed in the Utility Billing Consult Room. After the remodel of the Finance Department, it was
necessary to have a Utility Billing Consult Room to meet with Utility Billing customers on sensitive issues
that should not be discussed at the customer service windows. The Utility Billing Consult Room was
created as part of the remodel project to provide a secure meeting space for Utility Billing staff that need
to meet with customers.A recycled desktop computer was installed so that there would be computer
access. The replacement cycle of a desktop is every 4 years and monitors are replaced every 8 years.
This request replaces both the desktop and the monitors.

This decision package would provide funding for the one-time cost of implementation of priority based
budgeting for the operating budget and recurring online priority based budgeting software cost to
continue the process. The implementation of priority based budgeting would allow the ability to budget
for equity in addition to other City Council goals and priorities. Implementation of priority based
budgeting in the operating budget will require a significant investment of staff time and a consultant is
required to train staff on priority based budgeting and assist the teams of staff involved in implementing
the process.
In a priority-driven approach, a government identifies its most important strategic priorities, and then,
through a collaborative, evidence-based process, ranks programs and services according to how well
they align with the priorities. The government then allocates funding in accordance with the ranking.
Priority based budgeting is intended to change the tone of budget discussions, from a focus on how
money was spent last year to a focus on how the most value can be created for the public using the
money that is available this year.
The first step in priority based budgeting for the operating budget will be to identify available resources.
This step requires that instead of first identifying the amount of resources needed for the next fiscal year,
the amount of resources that are available to fund operations as well as one-time initiatives and capital
expenditures are identified. Then, the existing City Council Goals and Priorities are used as the basis of
ranking of programs and services. The City Council Goals and Priorities are expressed in terms of
measurable results. Next, an inventory of the programs offered is taken and compared to the priorities.
Once the programs have been inventoried, a scoring system is developed to determine how well each
program achieves the identified priorities and other determined factors. Then each program is scored by
departments to indicate its relevance to the identified priorities and other determined factors.An
established review team of City staff meets to determine whether they understood the programs they
were reviewing; whether they agreed with the score given by the department (the departments scored
their own programs); whether they required further testimony or evidence from the department to help
them better understand the score given; and whether the score should stand, or if the team would
recommend an increase or decrease.All programs are evaluated in this manner until a final
recommendation is made on program scores. Then, the programs are ordered according to their
prioritization within a given priority result area and the budget staff draw a line where the cost of the most
highly prioritized programs is equal to the amount of revenue available. The programs above the line are
funded, and the ones that fall below the line are not. Staff will have discussions about the programs on
either side of the line and about moving those programs up or down, redesigning the programs, or
shifting resources among priority results. Special purpose funds will have programs ranked without
regard to funding source and then resources will be allocated with respect to funding source.
Performance measures are developed and used to make sure programs deliver the results they were
evaluated on.
During the Fiscal Year 2019 budget process, staff implemented priority based budgeting for the Capital
Improvement Program. This process included creating a priority ranking system for departments to rank
projects, tying capital projects to outcomes related to City Council Goals and Priorities, and holding
additional meetings with departments that were grouped in regard to funding source to allow open dialog
on the projects submitted. These additional meetings with departments ensure City Council Goals and
Priorities are addressed in the submitted projects, make sure all departments impacted by projects are
aware of the proposed work, related projects are aligned with the same time line and duplicated projects
are eliminated, and to determine the projects that made it to the top of the list that are recommended to
be funded. During the Fiscal Year 2021 budget process, staff implemented equity questions to be
considered for operating improvement packages requested by departments in an effort to have
departments think about the impact to equity.
The consultant selected to assist in implementation of priority based budgeting would provide a two day
group training on the entire priority based budgeting process; assist with program inventory

development, gathering of costs and uploading into the online software, provide additional web based
department trainings for inventory and program costing; assist with the use of City Council Goals and
Priorities in the priority based budgeting process; assist with department scoring, peer review and final
model development, and provide additional web based department trainings for scoring and peer review.
The consultant will also provide a "starter program inventory" for departments to work from, which is built
from a database of thousands of programs, customized to match with each department, and significantly
easing the workload for departments to implement priority based budgeting.

This improvement level decision package request is for the creation of an Office of Innovation, which
would be a division of the Finance Department. This request would fund a full-time Chief Innovation
Officer (GE-40B) and a full-time Senior Performance and Management Specialist (GE-36B). The Office
of Innovation would identify improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of City services and
business processes. The primary focus of this group is to improve City operations at less cost. The team
would be comprised of experienced professionals who are trained in process improvement
methodologies and have diverse backgrounds. The team would serve as internal consultants to City
departments and work closely with senior management to recommend strategies for improvement. The
essential job functions of the Office of Innovation include developing an annual innovation work plan
focused on improving the delivery of municipal services; analysis of policies, practices, system,
procedures, workload standards, and organizational structures; design of benchmark surveys and
quantitative techniques to improve the productivity and quality of operations and build an effective
workforce; recommendation of innovative management strategies and complex departmental turnaround
plans; inspections of business processes and service delivery methods to help identify efficiencies and
reduce cost; analytical research and recommendation of alternatives on various public administrative
functions and service delivery activities; evaluation of staffing requests and recommendation of staffing
levels to ensure the efficient and effective utilization of human resources; and organizational
improvement recommendations. The tools that would be used by the Office of Innovation include
performance audits, staff interviews and on-site observation, project management, best practice
research and surveys, strategic planning and prioritization, process mapping, empathy mapping/voice of
the customer, and trend analysis, cost analysis and forecasting. This improvement package supports the
City Council goal of Financially Responsible, High Performance City Organization: Sustainable,
Equitable and Effective Service Delivery- Financially Sound and responsible City government and
Service Value for taxes and fees. The recurring cost represents the employee cost of the two full-time
positions as well as the monthly data plan for the two tablets and monthly phone plan. The non-recurring
cost represents the purchase of two computers, two tablets, one smartphones, two desk phones, two
desks and chairs, and office space construction or rental. The Office of Innovation would need to be
located outside the Finance Department due to the space constraints in the department.

transaction. Suppliers that choose to participate in the virtual card program will receive an automated
email notification for each processed payment from the Finance Department. This would replace a
traditional check orACH transaction pending vendor acceptance into the City's virtual card program
and would capture additional transactions not typically paid using a purchasing card. These emails
will contain a link to a secure web portal where the supplier will obtain the unique Visa credit card
account number, the amount to charge, and the other pertinent details of the transaction needed to
process and reconcile the payments using their Point-of-Sale device/software. The credit card
account number will change with each payment so suppliers will not be required to keep this
information on file. The standard processing fees administered by the supplier's acquiring bank will
apply.

increased from $1,704,079 in FY 2021 to $1,769,270 in FY 2022.
