Point 1:
Expenditure level in the following areas must be reduced by 5,250,000: ROP and environmental therapy, PMTO – therapists (parent training therapists), Prevention team, online therapist, youth shelter, Health station and school health service, PPT, Municipal psychologist and special education team. Reduction is done by reducing the number of positions or through other cost-reducing or income-increasing measures.
In connection with changes, it is necessary to look at organization and the way one works with preventive measures and with measures against children and families who need extra assistance. This must be seen against the need for preventive/remedial support for individual children and groups of children, also within schools and kindergartens.
The municipal board asks the municipal director to prioritize such an investigation. The investigation must emphasize ensuring good interdisciplinary cooperation and parental support measures and how to break down “silos” between organizational structures that ensure good interaction and holistic thinking in meeting the needs of children and families. Co-location of resources should be prioritized where necessary to ensure success in restructuring efforts. The investigation must be seen in the light of the development project “health station of the future”.
Point 2: The municipal board asks the municipal director to investigate how to increase the number of beds within the existing building and cost frameworks in order to reduce expenses for patients ready to be discharged.
Point 3: Reduction of 4,700,000 related to adult education and the refugee service related to fewer needs. This must be compared to an arrangement with an environmental warden with a view to follow-up of escapees who live in municipal housing.
Item 4: Cuts of 1,050,000 linked to inter-municipal collaboration within archive and purchasing functions are being investigated.
Point 5: Investigate the merger of Planning, Property and Technical Department. The goal is to ensure good services and at the same time reduce the operating level by 1,400,000.
Point 6: Cuts of 1,150,000 linked to positions in industry and culture. The municipal director must investigate several alternative ways of organizing business work. It could be the zero alternative (as it is today) regionally between the municipalities in SørHelgeland, or in collaboration with private business. The work can be financed through the use of business funds. A position as culture and business consultant will be created until the investigation and new organization is in place.
Point 7: There is a great need for skilled workers in the coming years, particularly within the health and care sector. Priority should be given to taking on apprenticeships where we have the greatest need and thus the best opportunity to offer work after the end of the apprenticeship. The municipal board asks the municipal director to prioritize the recruitment of trainees so that we have 15 trainees in the municipality at all times. If there is an opportunity for more learning, consideration must be given to increasing the grant for this.
Item 8: The following cuts in expenses/increased income are adopted:
1. Nursing home kitchen 500,000
2. Changes volunteer coordinator 350,000
3. The environmental service 500,000
4. Tautra 1,000,000
5. Relief housing 700,000
6. Name not full-time, social assistance payments 500,000
7. Crisis center – purchase from another municipality 700,000
8. Library Velfjorden 350,000
9. Main library Brønnøysund 400,000
10. Klokkargården fewer children than the budgeted 500,000
11. Newton Room 650,000
12. The cultural school 260,000. The stage instructor scheme is retained.
13. Action team child protection 750,000
14. Service square/communication 700,000
Point 9 The following cuts/increases in income to NOK 2,090,000 must be investigated or implemented:
· Licenses
· Administrative costs such as insurance etc
· Various memberships
· Support teams and associations, as well as reducing culture
· Cut printing costs
Point 10 The introduction of control and fees for parking in Brønnøysund is being investigated.
Item 11: The municipal board assumes that the municipal director ensures a reduction in positions/costs as a result of changing needs on an ongoing basis, e.g. by receiving fewer refugees, fewer users of services, the possibility of more affordable service purchases, etc.
Point 12: The list under “priority investigations” is carried out according to the estimated timetable
Sum of cuts is NOK 24,750,000
