General Purpose
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors created the Loudoun County Government Reform Commission (LCGRC) to focus on common-sense strategies and substantive recommendations for reducing costs, increasing efficiencies, identifying cost-effective and innovative ways to improve and deliver services, and saving taxpayer’s money. The purpose of the commission is to provide the Board with recommendations that will result in a leaner, more cost-effective and responsive county government. The LCGRC is intended to generate actionable recommendations and a blueprint for streamlining county government and reducing costs.
The Board has directed the LCGRC to focus on the following key areas:
- Identify opportunities, by means of an audit or other means, for creating efficiencies in county government, including streamlining, consolidating, and/or eliminating duplicative and unnecessary services, programs, and regulations;
- Explore innovative ways to deliver county services at the lowest cost and best value to taxpayers;
- Seek out means to more effectively and efficiently perform core county government functions and concentrate on core mission-oriented service, including potential privatization of government operations where appropriate; and
- Examine ways for government to be more transparent, user friendly, and accountable to citizens.
- The commission will submit periodic reports of its findings and recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors created the commission on January 3, 2012.
