WHEREAS the expansion and increasing complexity of the
financing of County governmental functions make budget considera-
tion more difficult and onerous each succeeding year; and
WHEREAS it is considered desirable to streamline the
present County budget procedure so that the Board of Supervisors
may continue to make careful analyses of preliminary budget re-
quirements and do so in a length of time such that the issuance
of the County preliminary and final budgets is not delayed;

seconded by Supervisor Kenny, the County Administrator, in
cooperation with the County Auditor-Controller, is ordered to
take action as follows :
1 . Obtain and consolidate in proper form all budget
requests of departments .
2. Discuss with department heads the reasons for and
the amount of their budget requests .
3. Prepare a recommended budget in which attention is
focused on:
(a) Significant changes from the budget of the
previous fiscal year and the reasons therefor;
(b) Matters for Board policy determination in terms
of new or expanded programs;
( c) Descriptive narrative material explaining the
budget requests of each department; and
(d) Budget items on which department heads and the
County Administrator do not concur and to which
the Board should give specific attention.
AND BE IT BY THIS BOARD FURTHER ORDERED that the budget
document described in this order be prepared for issuance by the

and groups so that they may better understand the financing of
