  1. 2008/09 Recommended Budget Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners September 2007

  2. Where we have come from… • Tough recent history due to impact of State budget • Projected budget shortfalls, especially in Health programs, resulted in structural change by eliminating 132 FTE between 2002 through 2005 • And yet, • Doubled General Fund reserves • Twice increased bond rating • Focus on continuous improvement and Communities of Interest to enhance customer service and reduced the cost of doing business

  3. Where we have come from… • In 2006/07, had structural deficit but needed to stabilize organization and maintain programs • Partially due to BOC policy to provide additional General Fund support to Non General Fund departments for personnel cost increases as means to preserve services • Balanced budget through use of one time funding sources and Non General Fund reserves with plan to bring structural change in 2008/09 budget

  4. Themes for 2008/09 • Continued Fiscal Constraints – State budget, State economy, housing market • Increased need of community impacting our own service delivery demands as well as needs of not for profit organizations • Focus on preserving programs and providing necessary response to community • Efforts on “Changing the way Government Works” through regionalism and collaborations
