The City of London is reaching out to partners to introduce the “Deep Dive” Service Review project and invite organizations to participate. “Deep Dive” is part of a larger Service Review program which is identified as a strategic priority in Council’s 2015-2019 Strategic Plan in response to the direction by City Council to undertake a Service Review program in order to fund $4 million in unidentified permanent budget reductions that were built-in to the approved 2016-2019 Multi-Year Budget, and to prepare for significant budget pressures anticipated for the next Multi-Year Budget (2020 - 2023). The goal of “Deep Dive” is to develop a list of prioritized opportunities for in-depth reviews and an implementation plan that will inform the development of the 2019-2023 City of London Strategic Plan and the 2020-2023 City of London Multi-Year Budget. Participation in “Deep Dive” would involve staff from each agency working with consultants to develop service profiles containing information such as current services offered, the rationale for service delivery, current service level standard, key processes for delivering services, regulatory requirements, annual cost of providing service, FTE complements involved in delivering service, non-taxation funding sources and key performance indicators.
