| 135 | Create an Annual Purchasing Plan ("APP") | An APP fixes yearly vehicle acquisitions at a certain base level; greater efficiency is achieved when managers know which vehicles are coming out of the fleet and when they are being replaced | DISS | V-45 | Productivity | Capital and Productivity Improvements | $0 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD | C |
| 136 | Exlore Implementation of Global Positioning System ("GPS") Technology | GPS can be an invaluable management tool. It can detail vehicular movements, making it possible to accurately assess efficacy of vehicle usage | DISS | V-40 | Savings | Process Improvement | $0 | $7,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $10,000 | C |
| 137 | Use Online Auctions for Disposing of Surplus Property | Many governments are using "eBay" strategies for disposing of surplus property. In general, they are realizing greater rates of return than previous physical auctions | DISS | V-48 | Revenue | Process Improvement | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | CQ | C |
| 138 | Space Audit and Optimization | The County should conduct an office space and configuration audit to identify unnecessary surplus and to optimize usage. Subsequently, the County should systematically identify properties that are not needed for County purposes and maximize returns on them by selling or leasing them, or vacating buildings that they lease | DPW | V-50 | Savings | Capital and Productivity Improvements | $0 | $171,000 | $341,000 | $512,000 | $681,000 | $1,705,000 | C |
| 139 | Managed Competition for janitorial Services | Subject the County's current janitorial services function to private sector operations in a managed competition exercise | DPW | V-52 | Savings | Managed Competition | $0 | $0 | $72,000 | $72,000 | $72,000 | $216,000 | U |
| 140 | Achieve Staffing Efficiencies on Snow Plow Operations | At present. County snow plows are staffed with two person crews. Most towns and New York State operate with one-person crews. DPW believes that only 50% of routes require as second crew member . Changing to one-person crews on for the other 50% of routes would allow for 37 employees to be reduce. This initiative appears to require union consent. Savings, which could range from $2.5 million in FY2006 to nearly $3.0 million by FY2009, would better allow DPW to operate at present level of reduced staffing- savings, therefore, are realized in avoided additional spending, not additional fiscal gap closure | DPW | V-49 | Productivity | Process Improvement | 0 | CA | CA | CA | CA | CA | C |
| 141 | County Maintains Coordination Responsibility for Snow Plowing Operations, while Contracting Operations with Cities, Towns, and Villages | The County's plowing resources are overextended and plowing operations are often scattered, confusing, and inefficient. Cities, towns, and villages could provide more responsive services at a cost lower then the County. Under this initiative, the County would act as contract manager and compensate municipalities for undertaking plowing functions | DPW | V-53 | Savings | Managed Competition | 0 | CA | CA | CA | CA | CA | C |
