Departmental Overview

The Finance Department's primary responsibility is preparing the annual budget and updating the five-year Capital Investment Program.

The department is organized such that each financial analyst serves as liaison to a related group of departments, assisting with budget preparation and implementation. Analysts may also be responsible for implementing one or more function such as debt service administration, the investment program, or cost allocations to state and federal grants.

Using a team approach, special studies are prepared for management's use in identifying optional approaches to financing projects or programs and assessing the operating impact of new capital and grant programs.
