In April 2006, the Mayor launched the Operations Efficiency Task Force (OETF) and challenged its members to look at every aspect of city government and find ways to reduce costs and increase revenues while improving service to residents.

The Task Force and its 24 action teams, utilizing more than 400 volunteers recently completed its work. The result? Staff across departments are conducting city business in new ways using innovation, new technology, and process improvements. The city was
able to carry over $26 million of savings in FY 2008 without layoffs or a financial crisis. This level of responsible stewardship and public policy is what Mayor Jackson defines as good government.

Join us for a community conversation about the innovations taking place at City Hall and what these mean for city residents, for the companies that do business with and in the city and for the long-term economic viability of the city and the region?

Free and open to the public.
