million per year program, will be one of the functions considered for managed
competition. This will definitely impact cyclists, and we’ll have to keep an
eye out to make sure that any outsourcing proposal includes guarantees that
bicyclists needs will be included and that they will be designed and

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>This morning I am announced 16
City functions that will begin the first step in the voter-approved managed
competition process. These functions are concentrated in two departments
and include over 560 positions and have a combined budget of more than $120
million.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>As approved by the voters last
November, managed competition has become an integral part of the overall
reform effort underway at the City. Voters were clear in their support for
managed competition and I hope that my announcement today will serve to
reaffirm my commitment to moving it forward in the City.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The pre-competition assessment
process for these functions will be conducted over the next few months.
Once the assessments are complete, I will be provided with a report of
findings giving me the information I need to recommend whether a given
function can and should move forward in the managed competition process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Once a function is chosen to
move forward in the managed competition process we will begin to prepare
all of the information and materials necessary to invite outside bids. City
employee proposal teams will be established, Requests for Proposals will be
issued and the Managed Competition Independent Review Board will begin to
offer its assistance in analyzing which proposal will provide the best
value for the City.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The Independent Review Board
is scheduled for Council confirmation this coming Tuesday. The seven
members of the Board include a representative for the City Council and the
Independent Budget Analyst. Mary Lewis, the City’s Financial Management
Director will represent the Auditor and Comptroller and Debra Fischle-Faulk,
the City’s Director of Administrative Services will be my representative to
the IRB.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Desa Burton, Charles Kim, Faye
Wilson and Murray Galinson are all very accomplished members of the San
Diego community and have been nominated to fill out the remainder of the
board’s positions. I think they are going to give us a good – independent –
perspective of the quality of bids we receive in the competition process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Today marks the beginning of
what I intend to be a regular series of assessments and progress toward a
competitive bidding process for those City functions found eligible and
appropriate for competition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I know that some have
expressed concern about the pace we’ve taken for implementing managed
competition. As I have said before, we have approached this in a thoughtful
and deliberate way because it is intended to have a lasting impact on our
business practices. We have made certain that we are following the process
intended by the voters and have done everything reasonable to accommodate the
interests of union leaders who have seemed intent on delaying this effort
at every possible point.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>We are moving forward and I
will be very interested in receiving the report of findings coming from
these pre-competition assessments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
