This will require a well-designed organisational structure, as well as competent individuals to run the government bureaucracy. San Jose del Monte City has a projected population of 383,168 for the year 2002 while the City Government has a total of 312 filled-up permanent, elected and co-terminous personnel and 402 job order (casuals). There are currently 31 vacant positions. Theoretically, therefore, every employee of the City Government serves 537 constituents of San Jose del Monte. There are 26 major departments in the City Government, which perform service delivery functions and development planning responsibilities. These are the main engines of the City's bureaucracy. Tables 9.1 and 9.2 show the increasing number of the local government unit's personnel for the period of 1998 to 2002. On the other hand, Figure 9.1 presents the existing organisational structure. Table 9.1 Historical List of Personnel Complement In general, the current data bank of San Jose del Monte is better compared to other cities and municipalities in our country. However, a more comprehensive databank would not only help the various departments and offices of the City but also the Sangguniang Panlungsod in its decision and policy-making functions. In particular, the Geographic Information System, which is an important component of this Comprehensive Land Use Plan, is an important tool of information that will facilitate the management of the City's tax collection system, lands and other resources. The administrative and management procedures of the City as a whole can still be improved and the professionalisation of its bureaucracy has to be continuously addressed. Training interventions and capability-building programmes such as sectoral training courses offered by various public agencies will increase the efficiency and improve the service performance of the City Government's personnel. Other tools that can help San Jose del Monte improve its performance is a performance indicator system to gauge its productivity, as well as a monitoring and evaluation system that can measure how its offices are implementing local ordinances in the process of governance.
