Not less than one hundred twenty days prior to the end of each fiscal year, the head of each office, department, institution, board, commission and other agency of the County government shall furnish to the Budget Officer an annual budget setting forth nature, volume, cost and other factors concerning the work to be performed and the estimates of the revenues and expenditures of their several operations for the ensuing fiscal year. Estimated revenues shall be detailed as to source, and estimated expenditures as to program or project. All such estimates shall be submitted in such form and with such other supporting data as the Chief Administrative Officer may request. The data so submitted shall thereupon be reviewed by the Chief Administrative Officer with the assistance of the Budget Officer and the Chief Administrative Officer may hold such hearings as the Chief Administrative Officer shall deem appropriate. The current expense budget shall be compiled therefrom for transmission to the County Executive. The County Executive may amend the budget proposals, except for the budget request of the legislative branch and shall cause to be prepared the County budget as set forth in Section 706 of this Article along with the County Executive’s budget message.
(Res. No. 19-06; Res. No. 30-22)
Editor's note – The 2006 amendment deleted the reference to work programs. Although former Sec. 714 pertaining to work programs and allotments was eliminated from the Charter in 1988, references to allotments remained throughout various articles and sections of the Charter.
