Budget

The Budget Office is responsible for coordinating the budget process throughout the year. The cycle begins with analysis of departmental funding requests, continues through Budget Committee review and approval, and on to the Board of County Commissioners for adoption of the budget for the new fiscal year. The process continues as the year unfolds with revenue and expenditure monitoring and budget changes as approved by the Board. The Budget Office also produces the county cost allocation and indirect cost plans.

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada has given its Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to Clackamas County for each fiscal year since 1993. This award recognizes the effectiveness of the budget as a policy document, operating guide, financial plan and communications device as determined through an extensive review process. This award is difficult to attain and we are proud to continue to receive it.
