SCOTT COUNTY: Take a lean look

Kurt Allemeier

Scott County Administrator Dee Bruemmer vowed to find ways to save $1 million before the start of the fiscal year 2010-2011 budget. She is more than half of the way to her goal. The “wall of savings” outside her office has $572,303 in savings posted through various cost-saving measures.

The “wall of savings” is part of lean process reviews being done department by department throughout the county. Bruemmer said 1-2 percent can usually be found in savings when you start looking closely.

“It is a process of asking ‘why are we doing this?,’” Bruemmer said this week.
