June 7 presser on improving the performance on DC gov agencies

Mayor Gray will hold a press conference June 7 from 1:30 - 2:30 pm to announce how DC government agencies will be monitored going forward.   Gray will describe the revised structure designed to improve agency performance and efficiency.   The presser is being held at the JAWB (Room G-9).

From the media advisory:

BACKGROUND From the beginning of his administration, Mayor Gray outlined his four major priorities: 1) fiscal stability, 2) quality education, 3) jobs and economic development and 4) safe communities. Over the past several months during the budget process, the Mayor worked to produce a structurally balanced budget for the first time in four years, and to eliminate a $322 million deficit.

In his continuing effort to build a strong financial platform to restore fiscal stability and public trust, Mayor Gray will engage the government in a bottom-up performance review to identify, organize, and monitor a range of potential savings, efficiencies, and improved citizen services across the District. Simply put, he will manage the government by concentrating, District-wide, on delivering efficient operations and enhanced service delivery within budget.
