<br /> IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY <br /> . SD-l. Unfunded Mandates <br /> Problem: The cost of federal and state mandated programs substitute the judgment of <br /> Congress and the President and the Legislature and the Governor for local budget priorities. <br /> These mandates force cities to reduce funding for other basic services or to increase taxes <br /> and service charges. <br /> Solutions: <br /> . No additional mandates should be enacted unless the funding for the mandate is <br /> provided by the level of government imposing it or a permanent stable revenue <br /> source is established, Cities should not be forced to comply with unfunded <br /> mandates, <br /> . Cities should be given the greatest flexibility possible in implementing mandates <br /> to ensure that their cost is minimized. <br /> SD-2. Personnel <br /> Problem: A wide variety of state and federal laws have increased the cost of providing city <br /> . service to residents by requiring city governments to provide certain levels of compensation, <br /> benefits, or working conditions and limiting city governments' ability to effectively manage <br /> their personnel resources. <br /> Solutions: The federal and state governments should not continue to pass laws <br /> regulating the private and public sector workplace without a full understanding of the <br /> consequences of each proposal and sufficient safeguards for city taxpayers. <br /> State and federal policymakers should enact reforms which reduce city governments' <br /> personnel costs and/or increase their ability to deliver services efficiently. Specifically: <br /> . Eliminate or modify state mandates such as veterans' preference and civil service <br /> which restrict the ability of local governments to effectively discipline public <br /> employees, Specifically, no public employee should be entitled to more than one <br /> review of a disciplinary action, and no employee should receive full pay for more <br /> than 14 days pending their decision to appeal a local government's proposed <br /> disciplinary action, . <br /> . Modify public sector bargaining laws to restrain arbitration awards which exceed <br /> other internal class comparisons or outside cost of living limitations. <br /> . Revise public employee pension laws to facilitate consolidation of local pension <br /> . <br /> 1995 City Policies 3 <br />
