JAMESTOWN – After a long hiatus, the city’s Task Force on Efficiency and Cost Reduction will meet Monday afternoon in City Hall.
The task force, which is chaired by city councilman and finance committee chairman Tony Dolce (R-Ward 2), was created at the start of 2015 to review cost-cutting recommendations for city government that had been brought forward by various members of the BPU and Chamber of Commerce. While the task force was able to start the process, it soon became bogged down with discussions on various recommendations, with members unable to come to a consensus on which recommendations could be pursued and which could not. The task force then went on hiatus in the summer of 2015 without any final report being delivered.
Jamestown mayor Sam Teresi and Dolce are hoping that the process can once again continue, with a final report on possible cost-reductions being ready before the start of the 2017 budget process later this year.
Monday’s meeting is at 5 p.m. in the Mayor’s Conference Room, located on the fourth floor of city hall, and is open to the public.
