Summary of Request

The Budget Deficit Plan prioritizes revenue management, expense management, and leadership accountability. It includes a range of strategies designed to enhance revenue streams for the County. This involves exploring avenues for increasing tax revenues, including refining property tax calculations for optimal collection efficiency. The plan aims to gradually reduce reliance on the general fund for revenue, potentially through strategic budget allocations and fiscal diversification initiatives.

 

Emphasis is placed on prioritizing process improvement initiatives and fostering a culture of management accountability. Strengthening internal and external communication channels will be crucial in ensuring transparent governance and effective decision-making throughout the implementation of the deficit reduction plan.

 

Overall, the budget deficit plan will adopt a holistic approach that addresses both revenue and expenditure management while emphasizing the importance of leadership accountability in achieving fiscal sustainability for the organization.
