Background and Discussion:

The County's annual budget process outlines the procedures for adopting next year's budget. The process is used to propose budgets 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 standardized approach for determining 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.
