Thanks DM&F
DM&F? Well, the acronym is sure quicker than saying Department of Management & Finance. Yes, taxpayers need to thank DM&F for enriching the department’s website with more, and more useful, financial information.
The latest addition is a schedule of proposed work sessions with the County Board, which is useful because that is where virtually all of the Board's budget decision-making is done. The schedule also provides links to the Manager’s/staff’s PowerPoint presentations for the Board. These often provide information that is difficult to ferret out of the 2-volume budgets. In addition, reports from the Board’s Fiscal Affairs Advisory Commission (FAAC) are also available.
Today’s Board work session with employees and employee groups provides links to a compensation fact sheet and to comments submitted to the Board.
DM&F also provides links to two important pieces of correspondence. The first is a memo from the County Manager discussing the county’s debt capacity while the second is a letter from the county financial advisors about the county’s fiscal policies.
So visit the DM&F website, and begin looking at some of the documents that directly affect your economic well-being. And don’t hesitate to use the contact form if you have any questions about information published there. Again, thanks DM&F.
