The Department of Administrative Services will hold the 2011-13 Budget
Kickoff meeting on Wednesday, March 17th at Cascade Hall of the Oregon
State Fairgrounds.  We will be doing things a little differently this
cycle with the Budget Kickoff meeting and we wanted to update you on
those changes.

 

First, we will post the 2011-13 Budget Instructions to the BAM web page
and provide a link to agency budget staff sometime during the first week
of March.  Budget development has already begun for agency budget staff,
and the budget instructions will provide further direction for deadlines
that will be coming during the month of March.  It will be important for
agency budget staff to look through the budget instructions prior to the
Budget Kickoff meeting to ensure that important deadlines in March are
not missed.

 

Second, the Budget Kickoff meeting itself will be less about budget
process specifics and more about the larger context for policy issues
that will go into budget development.  To make sure that all agency
staff are given the same contextual information, we will only hold one
session of the Budget Kickoff meeting this year.  We have moved the
location to the State Fairgrounds to accommodate the larger crowd, and
the meeting will start at 8:30 am.  The agenda is as follows:

 

8:30-9:00       Opening Remarks by the Governor and Chief of Staff

9:00-10:00     Public Opinion Overview by Adam Davis, Partner with
Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall, Inc.

10:00-11:00   Economic and Revenue Overview with Tom Potiowsky

11:00-12:00   Budget Picture for 2011-13 and Beyond with George Naughton

 

The next biennium will be a challenging period for state government, and
we are hoping that this higher level conversation will help inform
agency policy decisions as you prepare your Agency Request budgets for
2011-13.  If you have any questions, please contact your Budget and
Management analyst.
