Background and Discussion:

 

The County Administrator has had preliminary discussions with various County stakeholders exploring opportunities for innovations and improvements that could enhance effectiveness in ways that reflect the County’s Guiding Principle of “investing responsibly.” Accordingly, this item creates an opportunity for Commissioners Court to consider and potentially approve motions directing certain departments reporting to the Office of County Administration to submit specific proposals as part of the FY27 budget process.

 

Expected Impact:

 

Potential proposals could enhance effectiveness of County operations in a fiscally responsible manner.

 

Alternative Options:

 

Departments will still submit budget proposals, with the potential for fewer opportunities for Court to consider more proactive proposals.
