Table 7: Service Reduction Im
<br />Further reduce general With the elimination of Central Services, all City departments will need to
<br />admin costs procure external printing and copying services, which could result in less
<br />availability of printed materials for the community, such as posters, flyers
<br />and mailers. In other instances, the City will be returning to minimum
<br />requirement (i.e., neighborhood noticing consistent with State law) rather
<br />than expanded noticing for things like development projects.
<br />$1,550,000 $1,550,000
<br />Internal personnel Will cause the reprioritization (or de -prioritization) of certain City/City
<br />adjustments Council priorities as well as non-essential tasks and initiatives as team sizes
<br />are reduced. This will likely also translate into slower responses to general
<br />community inquiries directed toward the City Council/City. The cost of the
<br />LPFD positions is shared 50/50 with the City of Livermore, so only 0.5 FTE
<br />per position is attributed to the Pleasanton's budget.
<br />For the Emergency Preparedness Manager: The JPA will no longer support
<br />the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. However, staff
<br />are working on a plan to sustain the Livermore -Pleasanton CERT program
<br />with existing staff and part-time employees. Emergency preparedness
<br />training for the community and City employees will be reduced. For the Fire
<br />Marshal: Absorbing the duties of the Fire Marshal will result in an overall
<br />output reduction for other 1PA's Command Team members. Technical
<br />expertise and the ability to rapidly approve challenging development
<br />projects will be lost.
<br />$880,000 $1,150,000
<br />Reduce professional Staff will need to scale back the activities that were previously supported by
<br />services and contracts these consultants, especially for areas requiring specific technical expertise,
<br />such as Johnson Aviation for advising on matters related to the Federal
<br />Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Livermore airport.
<br />$130,000 $130,000
<br />Reduce weekly Library Elimination of all evening hours from 7:00-9:00 PM, and closure of the
<br />hours Library on Sunday. Reduction in full-time library staff and release of most
<br />temporary staff. Elimination of non-core programming, (Movie nights, Adult
<br />book clubs, Trivia Nights); core programs (afterschool support, Paws to
<br />Read, Booklegger, adult literacy, and storytimes) would remain. Outreach
<br />vehicle will be limited to supporting one off-site program per month.

<br />Reduced collection budget and elimination of page staff will increase wait
<br />times for library materials. Fewer new items will be added to the collection,
<br />and re -shelving will take longer. Staff to help shelve library materials will be
<br />reduced significantly with the reduction of over 5,000 annual hours of page
<br />staff eliminated; volunteers will be recruited and trained to assist to mitigate
<br />impacts.
<br />$830,000 $940,000
<br />Combine Library and
<br />Potential to increase customer service wait times. However, it also supports
<br />Recreation Service
<br />a transition toward a more streamlined and integrated Library and
<br />Desks
<br />Recreation service model. This proposal necessitates revisiting the proposal
<br />to reduce and restructure the commissions held within the Library and
<br />Recreation Department.
<br />$320,000 $330,000
<br />Restructure Recreation This proposed reduction converts City -run adult sports leagues to athlete -
<br />Programs
<br />run. These changes to adult sports will have a minimal impact on Pleasanton
<br />residents, as adult sports leagues serve primarily non -Pleasanton residents
<br />and do not meet cost recovery guidelines in the City's Master Fee Schedule.
<br />Some special events, including Movies in the Park, the Rose Show and the
<br />Volunteer Appreciation Reception, will be eliminated. Per City Council
<br />direction, Hometown Holidays and cultural celebrations will be retained.
<br />$460,000 $470,000
<br />Reduce funding for
<br />The community may notice a reduction in police -related surveys and public
<br />Police special programs engagement activities.
<br />$100,000 $100,000
<br />Reduce Special
<br />Reduced ability to address certain crimes including human trafficking, drugs,
<br />Enforcement and
<br />and targeted plain clothes enforcement activities.
