112 cityof <br />r Louisville <br />COLORADO - SINCE 1878 <br />Memorandum 1 Department of Parks and Recreation <br />To: Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board <br />From: Dean Johnson, Parks Superintendent <br />Date: 2/16/18 <br />Re: Packet Instructions Regarding Discussion Item X: Overview of the City of Louisville's Programs, <br />Key Indicators, and Discussion on Future Operational Budget Funding Requests <br />For this agenda item, the main goal is to review the 2018 Park Division operational budgets and discuss <br />with the intent of soliciting input from PPLAB future funding requests. Operational budgets also include <br />funding for staff. <br />The City of Louisville finically operates under program based budgeting, which by according to the <br />definition provided by Wikipedia is: <br />Developed by U.S. president Lyndon Johnson, is the budgeting system that, contrary to <br />conventional budgeting, describes and gives the detailed costs of every activity or program <br />that is to be carried out with a given budget. For example, Expected results in a proposed <br />program are described fully, along with its necessary resource, raw materials, equipment, <br />and staff costs. The sum of all activities or program constitute the Program Budget. Thus, <br />when looking at a Program Budget, one can easily find out what precisely will be carried out, <br />at what cost and with what expected results in considerable <br />detail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme budgeting <br />Attached along with the related Parks Division operational budgets are the, "City of Louisville Programs, <br />Goals, and Sub -Programs" worksheets and related Key Indicators. These documents can also be found <br />on the City's website under: "City Council Meeting Agendas, Packets, & Minutes", November 6, 2017 <br />meeting. http://www.louisvilleco.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=14856 <br />The worksheets are helpful in understanding the budgeting process as the City's operational budgets are <br />derived from each sub -program. <br />Key Indicators are used as a tool in evaluating sub -programs. <br />5 <br />
