Background and Discussion:

Quarterly Projections are used to project expenses for major operating funds to provide Commissioners Court with a status update on the fiscal state of the county compared to the budget. The objectives of establishing a standardized approach for projecting future expenses quarterly include the following:

1.                     Prepare Commissioners Court with an understanding of existing obligations and recurring expenses.

2.                     Identify key budget drivers the county is witnessing and inform Commissioners Court.

3.                     Provide a view of the mid-year approved supplemental impact in the current year’s budget.

Expected Impact:

A uniformed approach for projecting expenses for major operating funds quarterly.
