It is my pleasure to submit the FY 2008-09 Final Business Plan, Adopted Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan, and Five-Year Financial Outlook. This is the fourth year that we have produced this final reference document which incorporates the actions taken at the final budget hearing on September 18, 2008.

We employ a results-oriented governing process to allocate resources, developing our annual business plans and departmental budgets based on the Strategic Plan adopted in 2003. This document includes the final adopted budget, the business plan detailing the annual implementation of the Strategic Plan as adjusted by the final actions taken by the Board, as well as our revised projections for our financial position for the next five years.
