Performance-Based Budgeting
As part of the County’s Performance-Based Budget system, the Performance Improvement Division works closely with County departments/divisions to define their respective goals and objectives, and the measures that are used to verify performance. This information, assembled into a Performance Plan for each department/division, is updated annually with data related to workload, efficiency, customer service, cost, and outcomes. The Plans and resulting performance measurement data play an important role in budget decisions related to personnel requests, technology initiatives, and program funding.
Nearly 50 unique Performance Plans are maintained for each of the County’s departments/divisions (see list below). An online Performance Dashboard is currently being created to translate the performance of County departments/divisions into highly visual, easy-to-understand charts and graphs. In the interim, the Plans and annual department performance data can be viewed in the County 2012 Budget Document.
