City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> January 30, 1997 <br /> Page 4 <br /> activities that are being performed but in a more concise and consolidated manner, as <br /> 111 <br /> well as consolidate funds whenever possible. This should improve everyone's ability to <br /> understand the financial condition of the City. Examples: Presently, community <br /> development is separated into four programs; I would consolidate them into one program <br /> but have separate line items for salary for code enforcement,planning, housing <br /> inspection, etc. as well as expand several other line items such as consulting so that you <br /> could identify the large items that are attributable to an individual program but other costs <br /> such as office supplies would be consolidated since they benefit all the programs within <br /> community development and any allocation of them to individual programs is arbitrary at <br /> best. For consolidating funds, an example is the TIF funds; presently, there are ten TIF <br /> funds for three TIF districts; I would consolidate the funds into three, one for each TIF <br /> district; this should improve the ability to understand each district and would also assist <br /> in the preparation of reports that are required for each district. <br /> • <br /> 411 <br />
