Significant Budget Changes or Initiatives
The budget requests an increase for the new budgeting electronic software. Due to COVID-19
we have recognized the importance of being able to have documents in electronic version. This
software will allow departments to enter their budget in the system and it will create budget
books. Constituents will be able to go online and access budgets but also set different
parameters of information they would like to see and compare.
