BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Government Efficiency Ad Hoc Subcommittee was established to research, implement, and continue a City Innovation Award Program to encourage employees and/or departments to contribute towards increased efficiency, improved quality of life for Culver City residents, reduced costs and/or generated revenue, or demonstrate distinguished performance based on department goals/outcome measures.
The Government Efficiency Ad Hoc Subcommittee is currently comprised of Finance Advisory Committee Chair Lachman and members Di Vincente, Rajiv, and Thakur.
On June 23, 2025, the Government Efficiency Ad Hoc Subcommittee presented the Fourth Annual Innovation Awards Ceremony, fulfilling its purpose. The Ad Hoc Subcommittee may thus be dissolved after providing a final report to the FAC on its work in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. It is recommended that a new ad hoc subcommittee be formed to carry the program into Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
ATTACHMENTS
