HOW TO USE THE GREEN SHEET
� " .. e^.�ti,.rilr': . -� . ��-,.:�
The GREEN SHEET has several PURPOSES: .
1, to assist in routing documents and in securing required signatures
' 2. to brief the reviewers of documents on the impacts of approval
3. to help ensure that necessary supporting materials are prepared, and, if
( required, attached.
Providing complete information under the listed headinqs enables revie�ters to make
decisions on the documents and eliminates follow-up contacts that may delay execution.
The COST/BENEFIT, BUDGETARY AND PERSONNEL IMPACTS heading provides space to explain
the cost/benefit aspects of the decision. Costs and benefits related both to City
budget (General Fund and/or Special Funds) and to broader financial impacts (cost
to users, homeowners or other groups affected by the action) . The personnel impact
is a description of change or shift of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions.
If a CONTRACT amount is less than $10,000, the Mayor's signature is not required,
if the department director signs. A contraet must always be first signed by the
outside agency before routing through Ci�y offices. - �
