Vilmoria said the finance department’s fiscal-year 2025 budget was \"just south of $8,000,000,\" representing just over 2 percent of a roughly $345,000,000 general-fund budget, and that authorized positions represent about 3 percent of the citywide authorized headcount. He provided activity highlights for fiscal year 2024: the treasury managed an investment portfolio just under $600,000,000; the grants division secured more than $8,000,000 in discretionary awards; accounts payable processed more than 50,000 invoices and 40,000 p-card transactions; and purchasing administered over 600 contracts.

Vilmoria described a reorganization called \"Finance 3,\" completed in its first stage in late 2024, which realigned positions into a new departmental structure and documented more than 625 task transitions. He said the reorganization aims to create specialized focus across finance divisions, standardize processes and prepare for a new financial system.

He reviewed division-level staffing and responsibilities: accounting (about 10 staff, audit coordination and ledger maintenance), accounts payable (13 staff), the budget office (13 staff), grants (4 staff), purchasing (7 staff), treasury (4 staff) and a revenue division handling nearly 250 unique transaction types. Vilmoria said the finance team also supports long-term financial planning, tax policy, contract administration and grant compliance.

In response to a question from a council member about adapting to a changing federal grant landscape, Vilmoria said the grants team is working to centralize application and decision processes, pursue indirect cost recovery where available and implement grant-management software so the city can track opportunities and reporting more consistently.

Vilmoria closed by thanking budget-office staff and noting the department is positioned to continue financial planning and management under the new structure.","Eric Vilmoria provided an overview of the finance department’s structure after a recent reorganization, key statistics (treasury portfolio, grant awards, invoice volumes) and ongoing work to centralize grants and implement a new financial system.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570623,"City Clerk outlines records workload, public-records request overhaul and system replacements",1477,1013080,2490140,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204093-b715f3135150b4208439d50f69b25827&start=1013&end=2490","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204093-b715f3135150b4208439d50f69b25827/thumbnail_1013080.jpg","/articles/6570623/Idaho/City-Clerk-outlines-records-workload-public-records-request-overhaul-and-system-replacements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570623-9c34089632df62b5f32f1881f38b2d35/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205118&Signature=jnTWP9jfScyTvrHOvlyA9lyYV~~F7gUm3DzeDFpHiqd4Od7DsqDQ7pLuEP3soJr81w3GqOjQHHBJtCt0dzNO1fRRDxSUfOOCH1jbPuJU0Kf5mBPPDOQYJdQ4C3IAMn-jMQi070hS~feh5xm-F5zRGjWJPNx0VL8FLa4Za2i90asD3rpWhvh4tMETwPjdwj3J6~qqAlssF4Ayx2udW53DZCO0bVyA75uW2HgmZcWaz5WCPybS3Pe83N~kZX2P0Q6cdiLv06pR9bMnWZurI03GVcB0R~ZemtllnYHjrTnV56xCnX2rjXWYlplV6tWVy2GaTSgzFuSxXwt~QsbgsrtATQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jamie Heiserling, city clerk and director of the newly formed City Clerk Department, briefed the council on the office’s responsibilities, staffing and planned IT replacements.

Heiserling said records management, public records requests and legislative support are central statutory functions of the department. \"It is not just about throwing documents,\" Heiserling said, explaining the office’s role administering records retention, access and compliance with state law.

Heiserling reported operational statistics for 2024: the clerk’s office handled more than 3,500 public-records requests (excluding the police department’s requests), had roughly 6,500 boxes stored at an off-site records center and processed 718 box requests. The city’s OnBase content-management system contains nearly 4,000,000 electronic records, she said. In 2024 the office destroyed 204 physical boxes and more than 250,000 electronic records following retention and legal review procedures.

On permitting and licensing, Heiserling said the department served more than 20,000 customer interactions in 2024, fingerprinted nearly 3,500 people, issued more than 12,000 licenses across about 40 license types and collected roughly $900,000 in licensing revenue. The clerk’s office supports meeting management for boards and commissions and noted it clerked 76 board and commission meetings in 2024, processed 711 resolutions and 33 ordinances.

Heiserling outlined three near-term, citywide projects: a replacement public-records-request (PRR) system intended to consolidate PRR intake and processing; replacement of the city’s legislative management system (currently end of life); and consolidation of the city’s two records/archive centers to improve public access and security. She said vendors for the PRR system are being evaluated and demos were planned; the PRR vendor has not been selected.

To track large projects and internal work, the new department will implement a project-management tool. Heiserling said the citywide tool in use is Orchestra and that the clerk’s office is aligning with that solution to standardize project tracking.

Council members asked about digitizing stored records and vendor selection. Heiserling said digitization requires a return-on-investment evaluation and staff capacity considerations, and that further planning will be part of the department’s strategic work.

Heiserling described the clerk’s office as a 12-member team that provides both frontline customer service and citywide legislative and records support and said the department will continue work to optimize staffing and systems to meet statutory obligations.","Jamie Heiserling, the city clerk, described the newly established City Clerk Department’s responsibilities, records holdings and 2024 activity counts and said a replacement public-records-request system and a legislative management system are planned.",{"_33":98,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":99,"_41":100,"_43":101,"_45":102,"_46":103,"_48":104,"_50":105,"_52":106,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":107,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":108,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6570627,"New Department of Organizational Effectiveness outlines mission, early projects and staffing",611,33590,644610,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204093-b715f3135150b4208439d50f69b25827&start=33&end=644","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204093-b715f3135150b4208439d50f69b25827/thumbnail_33590.jpg","/articles/6570627/Idaho/New-Department-of-Organizational-Effectiveness-outlines-mission-early-projects-and-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6570627-53aff258a721d56dd296be7567fcb3b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771205118&Signature=XtOxXyzLHW6eb~fmw4OX85765fJhVo4R2JeXhVFhTIB1xg7yQ8PLq0G1b2QJymxB4w3mm~UrCz1P7zuYoKxKXfheGxaNvk6-0gxBU79pJnEoPnsOmp0J6p~qufH7ngnIJxeqsg0y5DuQvMf4B95iYxMVGoH3g-BUAcFHt948Q5JgjaunFQJvMVLKRnJAEDdja~3Bi87~vJSNsoO69Yzsgfx6V08jyu~qD6~FrUjukwS9TXg2zV2m9IH57bToZGhSDre7tNjMWZMx5q2LdMoRtt~z4i4ogz18ZElWgoI5mWgRy110p3QfGVKpGvn4eE6yKX~mmBJYJBKuRPGxaZ7JDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kyle Patterson, director of the newly created Department of Organizational Effectiveness, told the Boise City Council that the office will help the city set goals, prioritize projects and measure results.

Patterson said the department — which he described as an internal project management, strategic planning and performance analytics office — will both execute high-priority projects and build longer-term capability across city departments. \"An effective organization is one that achieves its goals,\" Patterson said, summarizing the department’s mission to align projects and measure outcomes.

Patterson gave several concrete examples of work his team has done or is managing. He said a process-improvement effort with the clerk’s office, Central District Health and Planning and Development Services shortened the average time to issue an in-home childcare license from about 90 days to about 30 days and reduced the fee by about $200. He credited cross-departmental collaboration for that result. Patterson also said a project manager from his office led management of the recently opened Watershed Water and Climate Center and reported about 5,500 visits since opening.

The department will have about 15 staff when fully staffed and is organized into three divisions: an enterprise portfolio and project management office (project managers for city priority work), performance analytics (data, evaluation and measures) and city strategy and continuous improvement (strategic planning, change management and process improvement). Patterson said early work will focus on delivering short-term wins while building capacity for citywide change management through toolkits and training.

Among priorities Patterson identified for the coming months are facilitating a citywide project prioritization process to guide fiscal-year 2026 project choices, developing a unified citywide strategic planning framework so departments align on common goals and building internal measures that the department itself will use as a model for others. He said the office plans outreach and communications, including an open house and a June 3 event to introduce staff and build trust across departments.

Council members asked operational questions about staffing and intake. Patterson said the department is hiring for several open positions and that requests for assistance currently arrive both by staff asking for help and by informal referrals; he said a formal intake system is a future goal. On public input, Patterson said a resident survey is a possible future tool but \"definitely not over the next 5 or 6 months.\" He emphasized the office’s role in preparing information for decision makers rather than making final funding choices.

Patterson closed by listing leadership values — partnership, progress, service and joy — and said he will return with a more detailed briefing on performance work connected to the modern zoning code next week.","Kyle Patterson, director of the newly created Department of Organizational Effectiveness, briefed the Boise City Council on the department’s mission, structure, early projects and plans for a citywide strategic plan and project prioritization.
