style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> Renee was hoping we
could get
some kind of inventory of city services so we could prioritize them and
identify possible duplications of service. I think this would be a good
idea
too. I think people will be impressed to see the list of services they
receive
for an average price of $60/month/household. </span></font></p>

I thought this was a great idea but now I'm not sure it would be
helpful to pull that information out of the budget, since it's
voluminous and readily available.<br>
<br>
For instance, as an example, here's the goals and objectives of the
Detective Division of the Police Dept., which is in the <a
href="http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/index.aspx?NID=923">General Fund</a>.
(Police also has Administration and Uniform Patrol divisions.<br>
The Police Dept. budget runs about 11 million dollars a year.<br>
<br>
<u>Detective Division</u><br>
The Detective Captain oversees criminal investigative personnel in
General Investigations, Drug<br>
Enforcement and Evidence and ID Unit.<br>
<ul>
<li> Screen and assign cases for follow-up investigation.</li>
<li> Pursue justice on behalf of victims of crimes against
persons and crimes against property.</li>
<li> Refer cases to the City, County and U.S. Attorneys for
prosecution.</li>
<li> Maintain an offender based investigative program including
domestic violence, sexual offenders and violent offenders.</li>
<li> Focus resources on youth violence and the Youth Justice
system.</li>
<li> Participate in community based partnerships to address
problems, control criminals and help victims.</li>
<li> Disrupt the supply and demand of illicit drugs through
enforcement and education of the community.</li>
<li> Work cooperatively with partner agencies in the
investigation and enforcement of illegal narcotics laws.</li>
<li> Assist other divisions with developing responses to
emerging crime trends.</li>
<li> Develop technology resources and cyber crimes
investigations abilities.</li>
<li> Collect, maintain or dispose of evidence and property
according to accepted protocols.</li>
<li> Process crime scenes to locate and collect evidentiary
materials, as requested.</li>
<li> Process physical evidence, including: fingerprints, tool
marks, fibers and trace evidence.</li>
<li> Maintain digital image evidence and prepare visual aids for
court or department presentations.</li>
<li> Perform fingerprinting services and submit fingerprint
cards to state and federal agencies, as required.</li>
<li> Perform handwriting analysis and comparisons.</li>
<li> Submit items of evidence to Montana State Crime Laboratory
for detailed examination.</li>
</ul>
<br>
What we can do, and may eventually have to do, is go line by line
through departments' Goals and Objectives (there's a short Program
Description but I think it's not helpful for this discussion) and
decide what has to be kept and what has to go. For what it's worth, I
don't see anything in this list that should be done away with. Oh, and
the part about maintaining evidence? Our facilities don't lend
themselves to that. I'm trying to put it nicely.<br>
