Council should consider FAC recommend... Cape Coral Daily Breeze

29.08.09

Each year a circle of council-appointed volunteers scrutinize the proposed budget for the city of Cape Coral.

They meet with department heads, away expenditure totals down into specific costs and examine the programs and services to be funded.

Because they are not elected, FAC volunteers realize no sacred cows and their budget knives are sharp when they eye a fat target tucked among the routine and the mundane.

The committee spends hours on these tasks and the recommendations the panel presents to ministry - which usually ignores the efforts although its thanks are profuse.

We hope this year will be different.

Among its suggestions, the FAC has homed in on the leading challenge the city faces as it attempts to bring expenses down to meet dwindling revenues.

Personnel costs are the lever that moves the universal fund budget.

And personnel expenditures, particularly salaries and benefits, are especially difficult to chip away at once they have hardened into the budget structure.
