Report Title: 2017 Performance Based Management and Budgeting Annual Report
Report Period: 12/1/2015 - 11/30/2016
Summary: This report is to comply with the amendments to Article X of the Cook County Code (PERFORMANCE BASED MANAGEMENT AND BUDGETING), approved by the Cook County Board of Commissioners on June 29, 2016. The purpose of the amendments was to enhance the effectiveness of the annual budget process by establishing administrative units called “programs.” Amendments to Article X also created a new process for the submission of performance data.
“Programs” were identified for the purpose of being the primary building blocks of an agency’s or department’s budget request, making it possible to distinguish assigned employees and costs (i.e. inputs), and the resulting program performance metrics, i.e. outputs, outcomes, and efficiency.
Performance data submission was to take the form of an Annual Report, with submittals being due within 45 days of fiscal year end, by each County Department and Agency, and as part of its annual Budget Request, as described in Section 2-933. The President or his or her designee, the Budget Director, is to prepare a summary report of these values to be presented to the Board at a Board meeting to occur no later than the Month of March. This report is submitted for said purpose.
