Mission Statement

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) offers a broad-based, objective perspective on public policies, fiscal policies, and performance management to the County Executive, County Council, and other County partners. The analytical work performed in OMB provides policymakers with data and options to make informed decisions and supports the goals of advancing racial equity and social justice as well as addressing climate change. The Office supports and enhances the effective operation of County government, ensuring funds are spent in the most fiscally prudent and socially responsible way and that performance objectives are achieved. OMB also ensures that County expenditures are made in accordance with Executive polices and Council appropriations, consistent with the County Charter.

Initiatives

  • During development of the FY24 County Executive's Recommended Budget, the Office of Management and Budget planned and executed eight operating budget forums to provide residents an opportunity to have their voices heard. Two of the budget forums were conducted in a language other than English (Spanish and Chinese).
  • Along with the Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice (ORESJ), implemented the Operating Budget Equity Tool. The FY24 Operating Budget is the first one that fully integrates the use of this tool by departments, ORESJ, and OMB.
  • Worked with the Department of Finance and departments managing capital projects to improve management of capital project advances involving non-County funding.

  • Performed a survey of Executive Branch departments and offices to compile a comprehensive record of every resident and customer touchpoint, including incoming communication through digital platforms, paper documents and mail, calls, and walk-ins, as well as outgoing communication. This inventory will inform the work of the Customer Service Initiative in implementing organization-wide customer service standards.

Innovations and Productivity Improvements
