Cook County Executive Budget Recommendation for Fiscal Year 2008

Cook County services and facilities are financed by means of a variety of taxes, fees, reimbursements and intergovernmental assistance. Each year, resources are evaluated, analyzed and projected, so that the County may plan to spend only that which it receives.

To plan for the effective delivery of services and to manage efficiently the revenue that support these services, the County Board of Commissioners adopts an annual budget. Although this budget document may sometimes appear complicated, its purpose is quite simple: to plan, manage and control revenue and expenditures. Additionally, the budget intends to relate fiscal and operational policies, priorities and goals.
