Operating Budget

The Operating Budget section should be used to indicate the increase or decrease in the operating budget as a result of the proposed state agency project. For state agencies, it should match the BR-1 and BR-2 submittals to the Office of Planning & Budget. It is necessary to meet with your Fiscal Officer or Budget Officer to prepare this correctly. It is also necessary to meet with this person so the operational funding will be requested to support the project in the agency's budget submittal. If the project is not feasible from an operations standpoint, your fiscal officer can indicat this at this time. Of course, if this is the scenario, there is no need to submit the request.

The first column of the table shows the current operational funding. The second column indicates the change in required funding due to the proposed project. The top half of the table shows expected expenditures. The bottom half shows the proposed means of financing. The proposed financing should equal the anticipated expenditures. If not, modify your entries so that the table will balance.

Total Expenditures

This data represents Total Expenditures over the next five (5) years. Since this is a request for operational funds, it may not be necessary to increase your operating budget in the first fiscal year. For example, if a project has 12 months of planning and 18 months of construction, it will probably be three years before any additional operational funds are needed. Therefore, request the additional funds in the third year. Unless a major change is anticipated in the operating budget, we generally increase the funding request by 4% (a typical inflation rate for each following year).
