Body

Department Goals to ensure they reflect financial spending

As part of the County of Orange’s (County) annual budget process, Department staff revisit Department goals to ensure they reflect financial spending.  Goals included in the Annual Budget Books are based on ongoing continuous improvement efforts (i.e., Strategic Goals) and those the departments are tasked to ensure is completed all the time (i.e., Additional Goals).

The County’s annual budget metrics for FY 2025-26 reflect the unique missions, priorities and operational functions of each County department. All metrics have predefined targets for the fiscal year that are realistic and achievable given the Department’s resources. The County ensures tracking and monitoring of department metrics which underscores the commitment to transparency, accountability and continuous improvement.

Strategic Goals

Body

Strategic goals are developed to be:

        • Based on proactive work, versus what passively occurs or is produced, within the departments

        • Current strategies that have been prioritized and are engaged in to ensure effective and efficient processes

        • In alignment with the County and Department missions

        • Attached to measurable objectives, ensuring monitoring of metrics is occurring throughout the year
            to gauge if any adjustments need to be made to meet the defined targets

        • Tied to funding and budgeting

        • Understandable by all audiences

Performance Measure Tracking

Body

Departments are tasked with tracking defined metrics within their strategic goals to ensure monitoring of progress toward the objectives. Monitoring of metrics allow for changes to occur to meet annual targets.  Metrics are tracked and reported based on predeveloped frequences which include:

        • Monthly

        • Quarterly

        • Semi-Annual

        • Annual – this frequency occurs for a couple of exceptions where only annual reporting is possible 
           (e.g., only one survey is conducted in a year)
