How and When <strong>the</strong> FY 2013 Operating Budget was Prepared<br />

Budget Guidance<br />

July 2011 – September 2011<br />

The FY 2013 budget process began with <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Current Services Funding Level (CSFL) budget.<br />

The CSFL is a Local funds ONLY representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> true cost <strong>of</strong> operating District agencies, before consideration<br />

<strong>of</strong> policy decisions. The CSFL reflects changes from <strong>the</strong> FY 2012 approved budget across multiple programs<br />

and estimates how much it would cost an agency to continue its current programs and operations into <strong>the</strong> following<br />

fiscal year. The CSFL served as <strong>the</strong> starting point for all District agencies’ Local funds Maximum Allowable<br />

Request Ceiling (MARC).<br />

Agency Budget Request Development<br />

October 2011 – December 2011<br />

Taking into consideration <strong>the</strong> <strong>Executive</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mayor’s (EOM) citywide strategic plan, and following <strong>the</strong><br />

budget guidance from <strong>the</strong> EOM and OBP, agencies began formulating <strong>the</strong>ir FY 2013 budget requests. Agencies<br />

submitted <strong>the</strong>ir FY 2013 proposed budget to OBP by December 16, 2011.<br />

Budget Analysis<br />

October 2011 – December 2011<br />

OBP reviewed agency budgets during <strong>the</strong> various development stages for adherence to established guidelines, identified<br />

opportunities for efficiencies, and incorporated revised economic data into <strong>the</strong> formulation process. The<br />

Budget Administration division <strong>of</strong> OBP created and submitted reports by agency that contained budget analysis<br />

and findings to <strong>the</strong> Mayor’s <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> Budget and Finance (MOBF). These reports described <strong>the</strong> fiscal impact <strong>of</strong><br />

policy decisions on <strong>the</strong> agencies’ submitted budgets.<br />

Budget Presentation<br />

January 2012 – March 2012<br />

OBP provided <strong>the</strong> EOM with a thorough and sound analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> budget as it was developed and revised during<br />

<strong>the</strong> Budget Review Team meetings where policy priorities were determined, and <strong>the</strong> Mayor’s FY 2013 proposed<br />

budget was finalized for submission to <strong>the</strong> Council on March 23, 2012.<br />
