Request for discussion and feedback on the Standard Operating Procedure for Current Level of Service projections and Budget Proposals.
end
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 fund (5302, 5310).
Based on Commissioners Court feedback, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will revise the SOPs and bring them back to Court for approval at a later date.
Expected Impact:
A standardized approach for determining the costs of maintaining the same level of service from one fiscal year to the next, and a uniform process to develop, collect, and report budget proposals to Commissioners Court for review, revision, or possible adoption in the next year's budget.
