Mayor's Office
 
Mission Statement
The mission of the Mayor's Office is to uphold and implement the citywide mission statement throughout the organization and throughout the community. In doing so, the office will continue to focus on furthering the core principles of the City mission: to provide leadership; to advance community values; and to maintain or enhance community quality of life.
 
Trends, Issues, and Opportunities
The Office of the Mayor and City Council provides leadership for the community and for City departments. The Mayor directs the day-to-day operations of the City, consistent with the goals and policies established by the City Council. The Mayor and Council assess community needs, establish long term goals and objectives, establish City services and capital projects, and set standards of customer service. The Office of the Mayor and City Council includes service units in support of overall City administration: City Council, Public Information, the Neighborhood Reinvestment Program, the Mayor's Hotline, and regional efforts such as Treasure Valley Partnership and the Regional Transportation Task Force. Additionally, the Office of the Mayor and City Council supports various public-private partnerships such as preserving open space in the Foothills, Drug-Free Idaho, and Community House. The Office provides the administrative framework for the Boise City Arts Commission, the Division of Financial Management, Human Resources, Customer Support Services, and Information Technology.
 
Two-Year Budget Highlights
The Office of the Mayor and City Council is proposing a two year budget in anticipation of a new administration being in place in January 2004. With that in mind, we are moving forward with analyzing the various projects administered through the Mayor's Office and focusing on improving oversight of city administration. The Boise Depot and HCHY are being moved to the Parks & Recreation Department. BEAT awards will be moved to Human Resources as part of employee benefits. SAGE will be moved to Contracts. The Mayor's Office will continue to manage the Neighborhood Reinvestment Program. Detail for Travel, Training, Professional/Contract Services, Dues/Subscriptions, Minor Equipment, and Cell Phones has been provided.
 
Accomplishments
The Office of the Mayor and City Council has gone through a special audit where internal control enhancements and improvements have been brought forward. The City Council is in the process of implementing the staff recommendations as a result of the audit. Analysis of the various projects administered through the Mayor's Office has shown several programs that fall more directly under a department or division other than the Mayor's Office. Moving these programs out of the Mayor's Office will allow the Mayor's Office to focus on the administrative duties of the city.
