23,666 - CA-PDXSolutions-PDX Solutions Operations 8% Cut Service Area City Administrator DCA Michael Jordan Bureau Name City Administrator Director Michael Jordan Funding Type Name Reduction Status: Recommended Package Desc Expense Recommended Total This request cuts $72,248 in General Fund ongoing resources for the Portland Solutions Operations External Materials and Services ($72,334) program which consists of 2.0 FTE (a Manager II, Manager I) that oversee the Portland Solutions ($72,334) programs (Shelter Services, Street Services Coordination Center, Impact Reduction Program, and the Public Environmental Management Office) and an Analyst III FTE that provides policy and Revenue Recommended Total analytic support. The 8% reduction reduces the program's external material services budget to a minimum level. General Fund Discretionary ($72,334) Service Impacts ($72,334) Impact: This reduction would reduce the admin funds to a very low level, meaning Portland Solutions leadership would only have enough for very basic activities, (printing small run of fliers, etc.) Assumptions: Assumptions are based off of past year’s expenses. Measuring outcomes: Portland Solutions would track the number of trips to other cities or conferences. Some trips are directed by the mayor. Alternatives: The consequences are that Portland Solutions would not be able to carry out as many activities or trips as before, reducing the ability to implement complex programs and learn from other jurisdictions facing similar challenges. Equity Impacts The equity impact as low as this cut only impacts Portland Solutions leadership and admin assistant.
