Thanks for this link. This was an interesting read.
Different departments have their own interpretations of "priority" vs. "optional" services, but I suppose much of this is due to different folks filling out these reports. (The library could have listed all or some of its services as "priority", but they are listed as "optional")
Additionally, it isn't completely clear if the percentages shown are percentages of the total staff time, or just the head of the dept time. Nor is it completely clear if the percentages are of the total dept budget (and inclusive of external costs - like salt and fuel for snow plows, or building maintenance) or just the percentages of staff time.
Overall, it doesn't look like there is a lot of fluff anywhere, but I didn't expect to see any here.
It isn't clear if all of the Parks and Rec programs are funded completely by the fees charged to participants. I wasn't aware that the Parks and Rec dept ran the basketball programs, but I knew they did not run the soccer programs. Why isn't there a Hebron Basketball Association like there is for soccer? If it's self-sustaining, then I guess it doesn't matter.
The $64 question is has the BOE been requested to provide a similar breakdown of how their time is spent, and if so, will they be responsive?
