HD23 - 1984 Follow-Up Report on the Deparetment of Highways and Transportation
Executive Summary: House Bill 532, enacted by the 1982 General Assembly, directed JLARC to monitor the progress of the Department of Highways and Transportation (DHT) in implementing recommendations contained in Senate Documents 7, 8, and 14 of the 1982 Session. The Commission was to report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly before the 1983 and 1984 legislative sessions. Last year, the department estimated that it had saved over $20 million by implementing JLARC recommendations dealing with improved equipment management and use. A number of improvements were also made in restructuring the department's central office. These findings were communicated to the 1983 General Assembly in House Document No. 34. During 1983 the department has continued to make progress in putting these recommendations into effect. However, there are two areas which require additional attention on the part of DHT: manpower planning and maintenance operations. These findings were briefed at the December 12, 1983, Commission meeting and are summarized in the attached letter report. Sincerely, Ray D. Pethtel Director |
