The budget needs to be presented to Finance on September 9 and again on October 9. It was suggested that budget line items also indicate if the program is mandated, how it is funded, and the type of client served. Borup said Health and Human Services will apparently receive the same monies from the county for 1994 as was received in 1996 and asked why there is a freeze for Human Services and not any other County agency.
