Matthew Garban Recognized for Exceptional Analysis
SmartLab and the City Manager’s Office extend their appreciation to Matthew Garban, budget analyst in Innovation & Technology (IT), for his recent work to improve budgeting practices within the department. After joining IT earlier in the year, Matthew assessed existing practices and identified issues that were causing the budget to appear as though there was a $1.6 million discrepancy related to software contract expenses. He not only corrected this discrepancy, but also instituted practices that will help to properly account for software contract price escalations in the future, which will assist departments during upcoming budget seasons. Matthew’s commitment to improving existing practices makes him the seventh IT staff member to earn the SmartLab Green Belt certification, which is awarded to staff after they have received all SmartLab training and completed an improvement project. Congratulations, Matthew!
