Gentlemen: Your Advisory Finance Committee has given considerable thought and attention to the question of the necessity and advisability of a study and survey by qualified consultants of the administration and operation of the different departments of the City of Rochester, excluding the Public school system, and the benefits to be derived therefrom, both to the city officials and the citizenry. Such a survey as we contemplate has never been undertaken in the City of Rochester and it is our feeling that the time has arrived for the City of Rochester to have an appraisal made of the manner in which all the deprrtments are being conducted. We belie-ve such an analysis of city affairs is necessary and that' it will result in the adoption of methods whereby considerable money can be saved by the respective departments of the city in carrying out their proper functions. We, recommend to the Mayor and Common Council at this time that the City of Rochester advertise for bids for the doing of this work. We realize the difficulty involved in writing specifications to cover a work of such magnitude, which we believe will cost the City of Rochester approximately $7500.00. - We do recommend, however, that the advertising for bids include analysis of.all departments of the City of Rochester Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., September 6, 1949 excepting the public school system. This work will include an examination of the overall administration and operation of each department including personnel, re-ve nues and expenditures, purchasing of supplies and equipment and will include the furnishing of monthly and final reports and in addition final recommendation concerning each department and the city at large. The City of Rochester will furnish office space, telephone service, furniture and necessary typewriters for all personnel engaged in the carrying on of the survey. It will, of course, reserve the right to reject any and all bids. We urge your prompt attention to this matter so that the work involved may be undertaken without delay and completed on or about January 1,1950. Respectfully submitted, O.U. Habberstad M.M. Hayden C.
