SAVE's Recommendations

Suggested Recommendations for Long-Term Sustainability

The following recommendations reflect best practices observed in comparable communities, as well as options that have been reviewed, discussed, and informed by local data, departmental input, and regional studies.

These are not mandates, but potential strategies intended to improve Berkley’s long-term financial sustainability. Many of these efforts are already underway in some form and may require continued support, expansion, or refinement.

Each recommendation is aligned to a specific challenge identified through the SAVE Task Force’s work, including:

• staffing and operational capacity

• revenue limitations

• development constraints

• long-term financial planning

Together, these represent a roadmap for moving from short-term stabilization toward long-term sustainability.
