In response to dramatically declining revenues, the Las Vegas city council asked the city's management team to conduct a fundamental service review (FSR) of all city operations, programs, and services. Delray Beach, Sarasota County, and Virginia Beach each established new citizen events and mechanisms that engaged the public in learning more about local government operations, financial challenges local governments face, or direct prioritization of services and satisfaction with service delivery.
WAYNESVILLE -- Improper accounting and lax oversight led this village to overspend its budget by more than $2 million in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, according to a report released Thursday, Oct. 16, by state Auditor Mary Taylor. Fiscal mismanagement and poor record-keeping contributed to a significant delay in the audit process, according to the report. Taylor placed the village in fiscal emergency April 15 because of a $538,102 deficit. As a result, the auditor's Local Government Services section is serving as the village's financial adviser.

Every once in a while, we get insight into just how much waste there is in local government, and how much better public services could be if public officials would only take their financial responsibilities more seriously. A prime example comes from the county of Los Angeles, which - much to the credit of the supervisors - came to the realization a few years back that it could spend its pension and workers' compensation funds far more efficiently. So the supervisors hired Rocky Armfield to be the county's risk manager, charging him with bringing down costs. It's worked - fabulously.

There are more than 3,300 public housing authorities throughout the United States providing affordable housing to eligible low-income families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. This housing is principally provided through the administration of federally funded housing programs. The funding for these programs is inadequate to meet the growing need for affordable housing, requiring public housing authorities to find innovative ways to do more with less. A few public-sector organizations have turned to private-sector quality management practices in response to similar challenges. Lean thinking and Six Sigma are two popular quality initiatives found in the private sector. This paper explores whether lean thinking and Six Sigma can be successfully applied to public housing aut...
