Mayor Johnson stated that she wants language added about funding an efficient and effective organization. Vice Mayor deHaan suggested the item be moved to the front section. The Interim Finance Director stated the section would be eliminated, made macro and made part of the Guiding Principles at the beginning. The Council expressed consensus. Mayor Johnson stated, wherever Compensation Standards [XIII.I E] ends up, it should include that the City will make an effort to have information presented to the public more understandable. The Interim Finance Director addressed Productivity and Performance Measurement, Section XIV, and Contracting for Services, Section XV; inquired whether Section XV should be kept or deleted. Councilmember Matarrese stated the best way to have control over core day-to-day services is by having employees; projects, such as building construction and certain professional services, cannot be staffed by City employees.
