I think the primary role of the Budget Committee is to review, modify, and approve the City’s proposed budgets for the <br />next fiscal year. And to assure those budgets are balanced and appropriately reflect the needs of the community and <br />service level priorities established by the City Council. Other duties include reviewing current service level plans, <br />unfunded needs, and capital plans. <br />1 What do you see as the role of the Budget Committee? <br />My greatest, practical impact as a Committee member would likely be my ability to assess the City’s current financial <br />condition and strategic intent, and, within that context, help ensure the City’s services effectively address the <br />community’s needs. <br />2 What particular contribution do you believe you can make as a member of the Budget Committee? <br />I have more than 17 years of professional work experience providing high-level budgeting, planning, and financial <br />analysis support to large, complex organizations. My educational credentials also support the ability to assess the <br />strategic and financial condition of organizations, and formulate effective financial plans. <br />3 What experience or education have you had in reviewing financial data (budgets, financial statements, etc.)? <br />The City may find great value in adopting an organization-wide, “customer-centric” service delivery model that is <br />focused on creating productive and satisfying “customer experiences” versus completing customer transactions. <br />This model would be supported by new digital technologies and would likely create (1) an internal commitment to <br />innovation, (2) greater customer satisfaction, (3) greater partnership with, and connection to, the community, and (4) <br />operating efficiencies. <br />4 What three things can the City of Eugene do to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery? <br />I currently serve as Board Director with the Oregon Community Credit Union, past Board service with the Southwest <br />Hills Neighborhood Association, and I have 5 years of combined work experience with the Eugene 4J and Redmond <br />school districts. <br />5 What boards, commissions, or other public or civic groups do you currently serve on or have served on in the past? <br />Page 5 of 27 <br />Interested Applicants <br />4/2/2018 9:34:12 AM <br />InterestedApplicants <br />October 22, 2018, Meeting – Item 4
