Government Reform The most important position in our city is the City Administrator. I am suggesting that this position be reviewed by the entire council annually, not just the mayor and one council member, allow for anonymous staff and public input and provide a set of metrics to evaluate performance that is fair to the city administrator. Government Reform Two of the city contracts that the city renews each year are the city attorney and city engineer. It is time the city put these services out for bid to evaluate not only the cost savings, but the benefit of hiring firms that may better serve our community. Government Reform Nearly 25% of the city budget goes to gravel road and park maintenance. That includes equipment capital expenditures, pay, health and benefits, liability insurance, etc. Many smaller cities have chosen to outsource this at a cost savings to the city. Greenfield should investigate if this makes sense as a long-term cost savings for our city.
