Background and Discussion:
Commissioners Court adopted the FY25 budget on September 19, 2024. In collaboration with county departments and agencies, the Office of Management and Budget developed budget projections based on actual revenue and expenses through the 2nd quarter of FY25.
The Current Level of Service (CLS) projections establish a standardized process for projecting next year's operational expenses for the Harris County General Fund, Harris County Flood Control, and the Toll Road Authority. Based on review of the CLS projections, OMB would like to receive court feedback on:
* CLS assumptions within the projection.
* Commissioners Court policy directives.
* OMB options to limit a structural deficit.
* Budget Offset percentage
Expected Impact:
A standardized process to develop, collect, and report budget proposals to Commissioners Court for review, revision, or possible adoption in the next year's budget.
Alternative Options:
Commissioners Court can provide feedback to OMB.
