Multnomah County Central Budget Office: Biennial Budgeting Analysis

On behalf of the Multnomah County Central Budget Office, the Hatfield Resident Fellow (HRF) prepared a research report that examines the advantages and disadvantages of biennial budgeting at the local level. This report was written in direct response to a 2023 Audit asking the County to consider the feasibility of budgeting on a biennial, rather than an annual, basis. The goal of this research report was to inform the Board of County Commissioners and other Multnomah County decision-makers.
