The issue is two fold. First off, we do not have a <br />system set up which shows how capital budgets are initially set, how those budgets change over time and the reason for <br />the change. Second, there is not a good system in place that tracks expenditures on a project once the project moves Finance and <br />into the contract stage in Engineering. For instance, we have had projects go significantly over budget without any Budgeting <br />notification. We are then required to "find" money at the end of the project to cover expenditures that have already been <br />Weiss <br />made <br />An immediate work to better serve the public in an improved manner is that the Volunteer Programs first need to know Mission /Goals <br />where we've been to understand where we need to go. Specifically, involving our stakeholders (line staff, volunteer i Coordination <br />groups, Recreation staff, other local agencies who have similar volunteer programs) in a focused discussion or survey of <br />J Hallett <br />some sorts. This feedback would be invaluable perspective to have and could be key in our future success... <br />One or two key staff members within each section are not trained on how to do basic web updates such as change a Staff Training <br />Darnell date, add a PDF or new image. <br />I <br />I <br />C: \Documents and Settings \cewmjrm \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \OLKE8 \JMStrawPoIIExercise Apri107.xls4 <br />
