Public Hearing Schedule for 2025 Calendar Year Budget

The Department of Budget & Finance oversees the entire two-cycle budgetary process. Departments primarily funded by County money are monitored on a calendar year cycle while predominately state-funded departments are monitored on a state fiscal year cycle. Recurrent departmental activities include: performing daily reconciliations of the County's concentrated bank account, working on the planning and execution of all debt projects, acting in concert with the Controller and Treasurer Departments to receipt checks and direct deposits, and wire money to fund projects, initiatives, and contracted private institutions once pass-through money has been received into the County's Concentration account.
