SUBJECT: REVENUE TASK FORCE PROPOSAL FOR COMMITTEE
TO REVIEW EXPENDITURE REDUCTIONS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Request the Ad; Hoc Budget Committee to consider a more comprehensive and
focused examination of proposals to reduce expenditures during the 1993-94
budget process.
2. If the Ad Hoc Budget Committee wishes to endorse this approach, request the
Committee to consider members from the Revenue Task Force to participate.
BACKGROUND:
The Revenue Task Force was created in December, 1992 to advise the Board of
Supervisors on potential revenue enhancements. The Task Force was created as a
temporary group to provide a comprehensive and fresh look at existing and potential
revenue sources. The Task Force is composed of a diverse group of individuals
including the business community, labor unions, Contractor's Alliance, Taxpayers
Association and Chairs of other Advisory Committees to the Board (see roster attached).
An interim Task Force report was presented to the Finance Committee on February 8
indicating that plans to increase revenues should be accompanied by a balanced plan
for expenditure cuts. The Revenue Task Force is now suggesting that a committee to
examine expenditures'be established to provide a balanced approach to the budget
process. A March 24 memo of their request is attached.

Currently, expenditure reductions are being reviewed by:
• labor and management via the Cost Containment Coalition;
• department management and CAO through the normal budget process; and
• the Ad Hoc Budget Committee
Given these current efforts, it does not appear necessary to form a new group, but
perhaps examine whether we can improve upon existing efforts. In that vein, it is
suggested that the Ad Hoc Budget Committee consider whether greater emphasis on
expenditure reduction review is warranted.
