[ICYMI] 'DiNapoli: NYC Contract Spending Rises $7 Billion Since FY 2019 Urges Greater Agency Oversight Given Increased Spending' Office of the NYS Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli "This rapid growth warrants analysis of both spending trends and service delivery. The City's increased reliance on contracts to expand programming offers additional capacity and operational flexibility, but also creates a greater need for oversight to ensure that services are high-quality and delivered continuously. Sufficient staff are also needed to ensure that contracts are registered punctually and negotiated in the City's best interest, and that providers are paid on time. Delays in payment to providers impair provider capacity, which could lead to diminished quality of services or service interruption..."

According to a new GOV.UK press release, social housing tenants will soon be able to request free information about the management of their homes, covering everything from damp and mould, to health and safety, to whether or not their landlords have been meeting the target of carrying out emergency repairs within 24 hours. Minister for Social Housing Baroness Scott says that this will create “a culture of openness and transparency among social landlords and tenants, giving residents the tools they need to hold their landlords to account so they can raise standards to the high level they rightly expect.” What are your thoughts on this? Were these reforms needed, and if so, do they go far enough? #Property #PropertyRecruitment #TeamBuilding #Hiring #PropertyIndustry #PropertyManagement #Everfin

Local governance can be very difficult in the best of times. When some individuals decide to start dismantling the bureaucratic structure, it can get even more formidable. Make sure your community is getting advice from organizations like the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities, and similar state organizations prior to making major governmental changes. #governance #localgovernment #transitions #formsofgovernment
