VOR,
X Subiect: PROPOSED TWO PERCENT REDUCTION PLAN FOR GENERAL
10715 FUND DEPARTMENTS
To enhance the City of Fort Worth's fiscal position for 1986-87, Council
requested that a savings plan be submitted by General Fund departments.
The objective of this policy directive was to require all departments to
actively follow a savings plan that would result in at least a 2%
savings from the 1985-86 proposed expenditure levels.
These proposed savings plans have now been submitted and evaluated by
the City Manager's Office and the Office of Management Services. Each
plan was evaluated as to its feasibility and impact on City services.
Attached to this report is a departmental summary of the proposed
savings plans. The primary areas earmarked for reduction are personal
services, supplies and capital outlays. Within these, salary savings
and materials procurement are the principle targets.
The cumulative effect of the savings plans is a projected savings of
$2,833,779. Barring any unforeseen circumstance, we do not anticipate
any problems in meeting the 2% savings goal .
Should additional information be desired, it will be furnished upon
request.
Doug
City Manager
