New Report: Consolidating Philadelphia’s Row Offices
Posted by on November 23, 2009
Report: Consolidate Philadelphia’s Row Offices. The Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) recently released a report entitled “A History We Can No Longer Afford: Consolidating Philadelphia’s Row Offices”
http://www.picapa.org/docs/Row_Offices_Issue_Paper.pdf
This report, based on spending comparisons with other Pennsylvania counties, concludes that eliminating the four elected Row Offices in the City—the Sheriff, Register of Wills, Clerk of Quarter Sessions and City Commissioner—and consolidating their functions with other City or court agencies could result in an annual savings of $13-15 million for the City. In addition to the potential savings, the report also states that consolidating these functions would result in more transparency, accountability and consistency with civil service personnel rules.
