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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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>

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>

The Detective Captain oversees criminal investigative personnel in General
Investigations, Drug<br>
Enforcement and Evidence and ID Unit.<o:p></o:p></p>

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>
