Personnel Costs comprise 94.90 percent of the budget for 11 full-time position(s) and no part-time position(s), and a total of 12.00 FTEs.

departments, offices, and agencies. However, recognizing the Charter-defined roles, the County Executive defers significantly to
Legislative and Judicial Branch agencies.
