Office of Budget and Analysis
The Office of Budget and Analysis (OBA), is responsible for coordinating,
preparing and presenting the City's operating budget. The budget
provides an overview of the fiscal and operational status of the
City; highlighting policy issues, decisions and proposed changes
in service levels.
OBA performs and reviews numerous fiscal analyses as well as program
and policy proposals for fiscal impact accuracy. OBA is responsible
for updating the City's indirect cost allocation plan that is used
to determine the total cost of providing various programs and services.
In conjunction with this, OBA frequently assists departments in
updating fees and contracts to ensure accuracy and cost recovery.
OBA provides ongoing analytical support on various operational
and staffing issues throughout the City and participates in a number
of special projects and studies. An important goal in conducting
these studies is to assist departments in developing the systems,
procedures and staff capacity to implement recommendations, to ensure
operational improvements are permanent and to provide a means for
monitoring future performance.
