CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
CITY COUNCIL MEETING —COUNCIL MEMBER ITEMS REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MIKE POSEY, CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
DATE: AUGUST 3, 2021
SUBJECT: DIRECTING AN AGENCY COST REDUCTION REVIEW
During the past several months, I've been made aware that numerous public entities have
engaged the services of private firms that conduct cost-reduction reviews. These assessments
typically have no up-front cost, and any fees paid are coordinated through a split of any
documented savings identified.
Engaging in this type of win-win public-private partnership should be explored by the City, which
could further improve our already enviable fiscal position here in Huntington Beach. To that end,
I am suggesting that the City Council direct that the City Manager coordinate an agency cost
reduction review by identifying a qualified firm to coordinate a comprehensive no-cost
assessment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I recommend that the City Council vote to direct the City Manager to coordinate an agency cost
reduction review.
