A small performance-review review

Friday, September 16, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano

So were City Council members during a recent budget work session, when they asked for an update from the newly formed Office of Performance Management.

The memo was also able to tout some “early successes,” however, noting that Public Works is working on communicating with other departments about capital projects earlier, Fleet Services “has taken steps to ensure departments comply with vehicle rental and leasing standards” and Austin Code has reduced its budget by almost $1 million to forestall a rate increase while it reviews how it uses the city’s Clean Community Fee.
