Councii . r <br /> TO: Council Members <br /> FROM: Connie Connie Kiriu� <br /> Legislative Auditor <br /> RE: Resolution No. 338 -98 <br /> Requesting the Office of the Legislative Auditor to Conduct a Special Study <br /> of Marijuana Eradication Grants (96- DB -13) and 97 -39 <br /> At a Finance Committee meeting held on November 17, 1998, at which Resolution No. 338 -98 was <br /> discussed, council members questioned how much time would be invested by our Office to conduct the <br /> Special Study. When pressed, I estimated 200 work hours would be needed to conduct the Special Study <br /> cautioning, however, that a more accurate picture of the time involved could be determined after <br /> developing a work plan. <br /> A rough draft of the work plan indicates that about 360 work hours is a more realistic, but conservative, <br /> assessment. This translates to one employee devoting 100 percent of the workday to the project for a <br /> period of eight weeks. Of course, this is not possible given the upcoming activities of budget, the non- <br /> profit grant review process, departmental program review questionnaire coordination, State legislative <br /> monitoring and lobbying support, and other critical issues (e.g., impact of Zoning Code ruling). <br /> For your information, approximately 40 hours have already been spent formulating Resolution No. 338 -98. <br /> Adopting Resolution No. 338 -98 means that a portion of your research staff resources will be Largely <br /> devoted to conducting the Special Study. <br /> We look forward to your decision. <br /> 7 I f <br /> Corm.
