Implementing Strict Budget Control MeasuresBy William R. "Bill" MillsCandidate for Board Member; Yorba Linda Water District |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Controlling the budget is the key to ensuring that the organization achieves its established goals and objectives in an efficient and effective manner.The role of a director on a publically elected board is to provide direction and control measures to effectively manage the organization within established parameters. These include the setting of goals and objectives for achieving the maximum benefit for the expenditure of public funds. Foremost of these is the establishment of strict budget control measures. Each department and functional unit within the organization must submit detailed objectives for achieving its portion of the overall mission of the organization. A `business plan' including personnel, equipment and other related costs associated with each of the objectives must be documented and justified. The summation of these business plans and budgets must be reviewed by the executive management team of the organization and by the Board of Directors. Where appropriate, these plans are modified and/or reduced to achieve a balanced program that will fulfill the mission of the organization. Once an approved budget or business plan for the organization is completed, the next step is the establishment of monthly expenditure vs. budget reports, by line items that are aggregated into functional programs and departments. Exception reports are generated for all budget items that exceed the allocated budget. These must be presented to either committees of the Board or the entire Board for explanation by the District's executive management team for discussion and preparation of `correction' plans to ensure compliance with the business plan. |
