Program Description

Fiscal, Policy, and Performance Analysis

The Fiscal, Policy, and Performance Analysis Program is comprised of three teams: the Fiscal and Policy Analysis Team, the Performance Analysis Team (CountyStat), and the Shared Services Team. Together, these teams ensure prudent management of County resources and services to achieve desired outcomes. Staff on the Fiscal and Policy Analysis Team prepare the County's Operating and Capital Budgets, Public Services Program, and Capital Improvement Program ensuring compliance with the County Charter and the decisions of elected officials. The Performance Analysis Team provides data analytics services to improve performance and support for ongoing monitoring the effectiveness of County government services to improve performance, reinforce accountability, and focus on results. The Shared Services Team promotes the efficient use of County resources by providing core administrative and business functions to smaller County departments and offices, thereby allowing those departments and offices to focus their duties directly on their core missions and functions.
