Since 2003, outcome-based evaluations completed by the Department have saved over $5.8 million in taxpayer dollars as a result of recommendations that modified, privatized, or discontinued ineffective programs and services. Moreover, $20 million in County programming and services has been verified as cost-effective through the evaluation process.
The Division is also responsible for grants administration, which entails performing reviews of grant applications and award requirements to protect the County from any permanent financial obligations as a result of accepting grant funds, as well as performing Legislative Analyses to identify legislation which potentially impacts county budgetary authority, administrative authority, or court functions.
