Red Tape Review

In support of economic health, growth and development, the City of Branson launched a ‘Red Tape Review’ as a priority initiative designed to modernize local government to be more accountable to taxpayers while becoming more business-friendly. The effort includes collecting input from businesses, developers, vendors and partners before acting on changes within City operations. The Branson Board of Aldermen unanimously passed the resolution to establish the Red Tape Review at a City Council meeting, thereby allowing City Administration to move forward.

The Resolution can be found here:

 Red Tape Review Resolution

The Red Tape Review directs leadership to identify the following:

  • Excessive, outdated regulations and procedures;
  • Ambiguous code language;
  • Internal procedures that reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of delivering City programs and services;
  • Regulations or internal procedures that are burdensome to local economic development and growth.

 

As an intended result, the City of Branson will identify, eliminate and/or adopt revised practices and code to ensure the delivery of public services in the most cost-efficient and efficient manner.
