Spending Less and Creating a Smaller, More Efficient Government
In January 2010, the Phoenix City Manager created an Innovation and Efficiency Task Force comprised of city staff and public members to explore, develop and implement innovative processes that would result in a more efficient delivery of city services and maximize the use of limited taxpayer dollars.
Since its inception, during Phase I, the task force found ways to save the city more than $25 million, and is anticipated to save about $125 million over the next five years.
The city kicked off Phase II of its innovation and efficiency efforts in January 2011, and seeks to continue finding ways to save taxpayer dollars.
Information on this website includes task force recommendations implemented to date, as well as related city reports regarding how the innovation and efficiency efforts are impacting the city's budget and its business processes.
