Reader says Outsourcing may be appropriate in some cases. But, that is not necessarily a panacea.
People… Take a step back and look at the bigger picture. It is not just about decisions that this or the previous council made.
It is definitely not about snow removal.
It is not about the 2010 reduction in village staffing in a few unfortunate departments (employee-related liabilities have dramatically increased, NOT decreased).
Read the Financial Advisory Committee report that was posted to the Village website a while back. It is eye-opening and spells out very clearly the situation that has developed over decades and is totally unsustainable, without thoughtful (but dramatic) cultural and management changes across ALL village departments.
Outsourcing may be appropriate in some cases. But, that is not necessarily a panacea.
