The overarching goal of this program is to provide the administrative and support functions that (1) guide 770

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget employees toward efficient, cost-effective processes and practices, (2) encourage accountability, consistency and transparency, (3) comply with City business policies, standards and expectations, and (4) align with the bureau's strategic goals. Services Equity Impacts Bureau Support provides the basic services required for most administrative operations bureauwide. Within the Business Services Group, Administrative Services provides human resources administration, facility and property management, and fleet and telecommunications coordination. Risk Services provides risk management, safety, loss prevention, emergency management, security support services, and management oversight of the Owner Controlled Insurance Programs (OCIP) for capital construction projects. Contract Management oversees contract coordination, the bureau's Contracting Opportunities Program, and Grant Management. Management of the Wastewater Group's fleet, stores and facilities are also included in the Bureau Support Program. The program results in coordinated decision-making regarding the following activities: • Human resources (recruitment, hiring and HR management/administration) • Facilities management (including security and property management responsibilities) • Management of fleet vehicles • Contracting that meets operating, capital, City Council and community objectives • Risk management, employee safety and the City's Owner-Controlled Insurance Program • The bureau's emergency management program • Centralized administrative coordination with partner bureaus and agencies, especially the Office of Management and Finance. Changes to Program Changes to this program in FY 2020-21 primarily address improving management of facilities bureauwide, including security, maintenance, and planning for changes and growth. All changes address Service Delivery and Bureau Culture goals in the bureau's Strategic Plan. Approximately $530,000 reflects proposed items to address facility needs throughout the bureau including: • A one-time increase of $250,000 for bureauwide facility planning in coordination with citywide efforts to optimally manage future growth, improve operational integration, ensure facilities are utilized efficiently, and to provide the public with adequate and equitable access to services. • Addition of a full-time Coordinator I position to assist with bureauwide property management tasks and projects that are currently neglected, resulting in costly delays and increased long-term maintenance and repair costs. • Additional funding of $85,000 to address deferred facility maintenance at the treatment plants. A net increase of approximately $400,000 for security efforts bureauwide including: A Coordinator I position to assess, evaluate, plan and coordinate the security functions bureauwide. This requested position will provide ongoing planning, development and implementation of security plans, policies, and procedures, in coordination with elevated security efforts citywide. • Approximately $180,000 for additional contracted security staff and vehicle resources, as recommended by the City Security Manager to increase patrols at high-risk BES facilities including pump stations, CBWTP and the Water Pollution Control Lab.

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget additional officer would additionally escort callout staff to facilities outside of business hours, which should decrease the need for two employees to respond, resulting in improved operations and increased safety of employees and customers. Also requested is an increase of approximately $280,000 in one-time costs to fund Wastewater Group vehicles and equipment to support more efficient operations, including: electric carts; pump replacement; a vacuum trailer; and a smaller size pump station utility vehicle. The Requested Budget also reflects changes to a variety of interagency agreements with other City bureaus (Risk Services, OMF- Facilities, Printing & Distribution, Technology Services) and government partners (drainage districts). All changes to Bureau Support Program interagency agreements in FY 2020-21 are at or below the amounts previously forecast by the bureau. 772
