23,607 - Rate Revenue Reduction per Mayor's Guidance Service Area Public Works DCA Priya Dhanapal Bureau Name Bureau of Environmental Services Director Dawn Uchiyama Funding Type Name Reduction Status: Recommended Package Desc Expense Recommended Total This concept reduces professional and real estate brokerage services contract budgets, strategy and External Materials and Services ($1,113,000) integrated planning budgets, and the space leasing budget. These reductions are expected to ($1,113,000) degrade the bureau’s levels of service and capacity to meet expected operational and regulatory challenges in the coming fiscal years. Revenue Recommended Total • $662,000 reduction to BES’s facilities contingency, which was resolved after the successful Charges for Services ($1,113,000) consolidation of BES staff into the Portland Building from Pioneer Tower. The consolidation of BES staff was possible due to the current remote work policy – adjustments to this policy may require ($1,113,000) additional space and more costs. • $89,540 reduction to the Business Support program reflecting a reduced capacity for contracting support and removing the contingency for potential brokerage services. • $300,000 reduction to professional and miscellaneous services in Strategy and Integrated Planning by deferring planning projects. • $55,650 reduction in the utility license fee that accompanies the decreased rate revenue. • $5,810 reduction in professional services for the Bureau Director. Service Impacts The primary impacts of these reductions are lower contingency funds available for items that are difficult to predict in a given year (brokerage services, facilities) and delayed planning projects in the bureau, reducing the ability to address previously identified needs. Equity Impacts There are no expected equity impacts associated these reductions.
