Report from (Criteria) Subcommittee
All the  staff  budget criteria responses that were received by October 19 were reviewed, summarized  and placed under three broad categories: 
     1. Among variables suggested for evaluating programs and services
     2. Among budget reduction approaches and priorities emphasized
     3. Among suggestions for efficiency or revenue enhancement

Report to Executive Team
The subcommittee will prepare a report to the Executive Team containing the above information and will ask the Executive Team to read the actual (non-personally identifiable) criteria input, which contributed to the summary.

Communication to Employees re (Criteria) Responses

• Both of the above reports (Summary and Actual) will also be posted on the Budget Development/Budget Advisory Group web site.  The actual responses will be filtered to exclude any personal identifiable remarks.
• Those staff responses to budget criteria that were received AFTER 10/19, and not included in the report, will be captured and placed in a folder so the information will not be lost.
