Las Vegas Stadium Authority Budget Report Lacks Standard Staffing Expenditure Breakdowns
ONN – Las Vegas Stadium Authority Budget Report Lacks Standard Staffing Expenditure Breakdowns
The Las Vegas Stadium Authority Budget Report does not explain anywhere what the staffing costs are for the Stadium Authority. Generally such numbers are expressed as “full time equivalent units” or FTEs.
This is not an approach commonly done anywhere, even in Nevada. The State Rules for Personnel Administration, a 246 page document that applies to the entire state, details what FTEs are and how they should be calculated and shown.
The reason for this is to understand who was paid to do what on a project and why? To allow a multi-billion project like the Raiders Stadium to be ran in this way is awful, but correctable.
Right now, and not to be insulting but to be honest, the budget, as it stands, should not be approved, in my opinion. Staffing cost and other details, like office expenses, should be added and itemized.
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
