Background and Discussion:

The Current Level of Service and Spending (CLS/S) 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).

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.
