Background and Discussion:
The Current Level of Service (CLS) exercise is used to project expenses for major operating funds such as Harris County's General Fund (1000), Flood Control's operating fund (2890), and the Toll Road Authority's operating funds (5302, 5310).

Expected Impact:
A uniformed approach for determining the county's proposed budget for the next fiscal year.
