The budget process is comprehensive, year-round, and includes but is not limited to analysis of performance, programs, rate of milestone delivery, and available resources necessary for successful delivery or program completion. The budget process involves all departments working in collaboration towards fiscally responsible program budget planning and development to ensure alignment with agency goals. Ultimately, staff produces an annual budget plan within approved funding targets that is reviewed and approved by the CEO. After in-depth internal analysis and discussion, the budget progress report is provided to the board at the January Finance Budget and Audit Committee meeting, with service parameters and RSH discussed the following month, and State-of-Good Repair, subsidy funding, public hearing, board adoption and public outreach thereafter.
