Operating Budgets and (re)Planning in a New World

Watch Now

Our new reality demands a rapid response and a fundamental look at how a changing economic landscape will alter the current budget, next year’s budget, and long-range forecasts for our communities.

COVID-19 is causing every government to confront a new financial landscape. As state and local governments (including special districts and schools) work through the updates they will need to make in their current, next-year, and long-term forecasts, they need to be able to model scenarios that include options for a wide range of possible recession recovery curves.

Changes are going to be needed in all areas of planning and budgeting: Revenue forecasts, personnel complements, operating budgets, and capital budgets. The use of reserves must be considered, and the unpredictable future of federal assistance is a wildcard. Planning must address both the remainder of the current year and the upcoming work for next year’s budget.
