-
Reviews and modifies, where appropriate, the proposed county budget;
-
Monitors all county operational and capital expenditures;
-
Analyzes and reviews all fiscally related matters and makes recommendations on those matters to the full Board for consideration;
-
Seeks opportunities for operational reform that will lead to better and less costly county government.
