$1,894,960 to pay for consulting…

I’d be happy to do the “work” for half the cost if the county would like to save some money.

Better yet, we have county employees already on the payroll who could complete this assessment. How hard could it be to come up with a 20-year plan that will be loosely adhered to, if at all. Be sure to include words like “equitable” and “sustainable” so we can all feel good about ourselves.

Please enjoy these meaningless excerpts from BERK’s website as a sample of what we are buying:

- “Great strategy is rooted in an aspirational vision of a desired future coupled with keen insight into the current situation and a commitment to action.”

- “We help programs assess effectiveness, efficiency, and equity to better serve their clients.”

- “Equitable outcomes and sound decisions require thoughtful community engagement.”
