Background and Discussion:
The Office of Management and Budget engaged Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to prepare a financial plan including a 5-year financial projection for the County's General Fund and potential opportunities to bridge potential shortfalls. Under most scenarios evaluated, projections show future year deficits in the County's General Fund unless decisions are made to reduce spending growth and/or find additional revenue.

OMB requests to review the report findings and specific initiatives and to receive guidance and approval from the Court to implement selected projects.


Expected Impact:
OMB anticipates significant cost savings and revenue enhancement from the identified initiatives but the actual financial impact depends on which options are selected for implementation.


Alternative Options:
Delay or don't implement the recommended initiatives and seek different options to bridge the projected financial shortfalls.
