| 146 | Continue Identifying Savings in the County Legislature Operations | The Partnership report outlined an approach to realign the Legislature's resource allocation toward core services as outlined in County Charter. Not restoring the Legislature's $750,000 contractual expense budget, nor reversing other cuts associated with the reduction of the Legislature's budget from $4.6 million in 2004 to $2.6 million in March 2005 maintains this direction. The Four-Year plan does not specify the location of the $120,000 in reductions, leaving this decision to the discretion of the Legislature, but maintains the $2.0 million of Fy2005 reductions, and trims another $120,000 from the central office or other Legislature operations | County Legislature | V-4 | Savings | Process Improvement | $0 | 120000 | 124000 | 128000 | 132000 | 504000 | C |
| 147 | Adjust Legislator's Salaries to Regional Norms (Partnership Report) | Analysis presented in the Partnership Report compares Legislature salaries in Erie County (42,500 for non-leadership position) to that of Albany ($32,000), Onondaga ($22,000), Monroe ($18,000), and Niagara ($15,000) Counties, indicating that Erie is well above the norm. This initiative would implement the Partnership's recommendation of reducig salaries downward by $22,500 a year. The Administration neither promotes nor rejects initiative, but represents it as an option for the Legislature to consider for gap reduction through the Charter | County Legislature | V-4 | Savings | Organizational Restructuring | $0 | $0 | $338,000 | $350,000 | $362,000 | $1,050,000 | C |
