Performance Budgeting for State and Local Government

This text describes performance budgeting as the integration of the components of performance management - planning, performance measurement, benchmarking, and evaluation - into the framework of state and local government budgeting. The authors present performance budgeting not as a stand-alone budgeting technique, but as an extension of the traditional budget process that reconciles financial and operational accountability. The authors make frequent references to their original research and personal experiences with performance measurement, citizen satisfaction surveys, and financial management practices. They introduce findings from a nationwide survey of public managers throughout the text to illustrate how managers actually use performance data for decision-making. The book also includes several case studies in performance budgeting as well as interviews with managers and practitioners. Designed for use in undergraduate and graduate level courses in public budgeting/financial management, this practical text will be equally useful for any student or practitioner involved in performance-based management.

Management & Leadership

This publication is a comprehensive how-to manual for planning and financing capital projects. It clearly explains capital budgeting approaches and methods, especially for local jurisdictions under 200,000 in population, and it is a valuable resource for city and county managers, finance and budget officials, planning directors, public works administrators, and other officials involved in decisions to meet public infrastructure and facility needs. The 2009 federal stimulus package directed additional resources to local governments' infrastructure improvement, so local officials increasingly feel pressured to be ready for new projects. The capital planning process prepares for just that. If you are a member of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), please visit the ICMA Press website (https://icma.org/en/press/bookstore) to order this book at the membership rate.
