About the Budget Advisory Working Group

Mission

The mission of the Tredyffrin Township Budget Advisory Working Group is to develop recommendations for the Tredyffrin Board of Supervisors to improve the financial position and results of Tredyffrin Township through

  • improvements to business processes, including budgeting and financial systems
  • enhanced operating processes
  • modification of Township services or programs
  • optimization of Township assets
  • identification of possible revenue enhancement opportunities

The Working Group will remain cognizant of the safety, security, quality of life, and essential services that help to underpin the excellent community in which we live and work.

Scope and Responsibilities

The Budget Advisory Working Group will engage in a comprehensive review of the Township’s financial systems and procedures. The review will embrace any activities, programs, departments, policies, procedures, processes, operations, contracts, agreements, and plans that produce or consume Township resources.

The Working Group is strictly advisory in nature. It will make Observations, Analyses, and Recommendations. Approval and implementation of any of the Working Group’s recommendations will be solely the responsibility of Board of Supervisors.

Budget Advisory Group Composition

The Working Group will be composed of seven volunteers, all residents of Tredyffrin Township, and all approved by the Tredyffrin Board of Supervisors. The Working Group and sub-groups may use appropriate outside expert resources, as needed. Like the Working Group, any outside resources will be asked to provide their services pro bono.

Completion Date

The projected completion date is December, 2009.
