EFFECT OF PLANNING PROCESSES ON THE OPERATING BUDGET


               The City utilizes several planning processes that affect the development of the operating budget.
               Effective planning processes assist the City in assessing the financial implications of current and
               proposed policies, programs, and assumptions. An effective plan illustrates the likely outcomes of
               particular courses of actions.
