LGBR staff consists of a diversified, highly experienced group of individuals with expert knowledge of various components of government operations. Among our staff are former city managers, former school superintendents, education operations specialists, municipal program specialists, financial analysts and management analysts. These individuals all share the same goals of increasing efficiency, identifying cost savings and improving operations throughout all levels of government. LGBR recognizes the impact of state statutory and regulatory requirements on operating costs. As a result of this work, LGBR has successfully repealed six laws and modified 11 others, and is in the process of working on a variety of other issues.
LGBR reports offer recommendations and suggestions.
Once a report has been released, it is up to the discretion of the governing body to implement the recommendations. The purpose of LGBR is to provide a fresh, objective perspective of the organization and offer cost savings and other efficiency suggestions for local officials to consider. There are no penalties for rejecting recommendations in a report. LGBR believes that the greatest opportunities for efficiencies lie in a review of the entire organization. These savings estimates are based on the first 33 reports completed.
