Montgomery County Organizational Reform Commission Boards, Committees and Commissions Statement ofthe Issue The County can achieve cost-savings by eliminating, consolidating and restructuring certain boards, committees and commissions, particularly those that have significant staff resources associated with them. This can be done while still maintaining a high level of access to County government by all citizens and retaining their ability to participate in County policies and projects to a significant extent. We applaud the work of many of these boards, committees and commissions, but suggest that their role and scope be tailored to meet both the current needs of citizens and the budget pressures facing the County. Discussion ofthe Issue and Recommendations The growth and development of the County's boards, committees and commissions is a direct result of many years of the County government seeking to be responsive to emerging new issues and problems. These bodies also provide a forum for citizens to provide input on policy-making, a place for resolution of problems, and a base from which certain services could be provided. A generous County can more easily afford to do these things during a time of rising revenues. However, the budget crisis that now plagues the County makes it necessary to view these entities with a more critical eye. We note that the phrase "boards, committees and commissions" is a broad-brush description and that not all o f these disparate entities "are created equal" in size, stature or responsibility. As such, they would not always yield similar savings or efficiencies, if eliminated or merged. It should also be noted that of the 86 or so of these County groups, many are deemed as advisory, but some are necessary for specific statutory functions. During the course of our deliberations, the ORC met with numerous members of the boards, committees and commissions and with staff liaisons from some of the core County departments to which the bodies are attached. )0> Based on our interviews, discussions and analyses, we recommend a three-pronged approach to achieve cost-savings and streamline the operations o f County boards, committees and commissions: 1) Acceleration of the Citizens Review Committee. As part of the existing process for County review and evaluation of boards, committees and commissions, an ad hoc committee appointed by the Executive is next scheduled to commence in 2012. We believe that is the appropriate forum to rationalize the existence of 86 boards, committees and commissions. But we recommend that the Executive accelerate this process by convening this review committee as early as possible in 2011. We also recommend that rather than its previous two-year duration, and the nearly two-year evaluation process by the Council, the Executive instruct a new review committee to complete its work in six months, and that the Council commit itself to completing its evaluation and action within the following six months. Finally, we propose that rather than allowing for an open-ended evaluation, the Executive charge the new -12 PDF Image | Montgomery County Organizational Reform
