Determining the value of public projects is a complex endeavor, in part, because the measurement of the value of public sector projects is not simply the aggregation of costs and expenses but a combination of many political, legal, and social factors. Nevertheless, capturing and measuring the proper level of costs for public sector projects, services, and overhead require analytical evaluation and calculation. However, value should be measured, at least in part, by the level of benefit that it provides to the public, irrespective of costs.
Many public sector projects are easily justified for public welfare when the outcomes are clear and the costs seem reasonable but the payers of the costs are not explicitly identified (e.g., "someone" or "the general fund"). Policy-maker decisions are driven by the value as well as costs of public sector projects. Cost-benefit analysis is a concept that is often used in the public and private sectors.
Tasks:
Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, locate and read an article discussing the cost of construction and operation of a municipal casino (a casino located within a city’s limits). In most cases municipal casinos are operated by a private third party.
• Summarize the project described in your chosen article by defining the decision that was made and discussing important factors that policy makers considered prior to making the decision to approve or disapprove the project.
• Analyze if policy-maker decisions are better, worse, or of no difference in quality when the cost of a project is more closely linked to the source of funding. Give reasons to support your answer
