About the DEPARTMENT BUDGETS
The individual Department Budgets present an in-depth insight into the financial needs of each department for the fiscal year presented and the three years ahead. Each department presents detailed information on its Operating and Capital Budget. The Operating Budget has detailed items for operating and maintenance requests and personal services costs - salary and related benefits, as well as full-time equivalents (FTE) information, all for the current and upcoming fiscal years. The Capital Budget has detailed information on the proposed equipment and infrastructure replacements and new capital requested for the fiscal year and the five future years ahead. Management intends to provide its readers with a comprehensive and transparent view of the use of resources to provide superior services while maintaining its infrastructure to ensure consistent access to award-winning water and exceptionally treated wastewater. With a focus on financial information, budget policy, capital planning, performance management, and strategic forecasting, the budget book conveys the necessary information to understand the Authority's spending priorities and its long-range focus.
