• Decision Units: In order to make her recommendations, the County Administrator relies on departments prioritizing their needs. Using a modified "zero based" budget process, departments complete Decision Unit forms to show their requests for the next two fiscal years. Generally, very few changes are made in the Decision Units for the second fiscal year. However, due to significant changes in State law in 2008 and 2009 which affected priorities and funding levels, departments were allowed to resubmit decision units for FY 09.
