Impact analysis
Cost-neutral on positions; the city expects organizational savings of $1 million or more and already banked ~$800,000 on fleet.
Residents get faster online permitting, better 311 service, and a more efficient city government.
Councilor Busby worries the promised savings may not actually show up — just recycled into new positions.
