To provide Butler County Commissioners and Administrator with sound financial data and analysis so that informative decisions can be made from a budgetary and financial perspective.

Through management reporting and the use of financial and budgetary techniques and principles, the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) provides the residents of Butler County transparency and accountability, thus best utilizing tax payer dollars.

The Butler County Office of Management & Budget (OMB) was established by the Board of County Commissioners in 2009.  This office replaced the Finance Office and took on the new emphasis of management and budgetary control.

OMB is responsible for:

• Coordinating the Annual Operating and Budget Process.
• Submission of the Annual Tax Budget
• Ensuring that tax payer funds are spent wisely and that county operations have sufficient resources to operate effectively.
• Communicating Board of County Commissioners financial policy to various Elected Officials, agencies and departments.
• Provide monthly financial reports and documents to the Commissioners.
• Analyzing county operations and budget issues for the Board of County Commissioners and the County Administrator. 
• Compiling the indirect cost allocation plan.
• Reviewing and approving budget amendments for various departments and agencies.
• Assisting elected officials, agencies and departments, with managing their financial needs and achieving their missions.
• Reviews and advises Commissioners on all debt, notes, bonds, TIF, RID and TID and any other type of special financing or agreements.
• Performs budgetary tasks for various Commissioner responsible budgets including debt.
• Review and approval of all county purchase orders below $15,000 and submit for approval through the resolution process for those purchase orders $15,000 and above.
• Responsible for accounts payable and acounts receivable.

• Management of all county owned auto titles.

OMB assists departments and agencies in meeting changing financial needs by helping with budget reallocations and other special analyses that are required.

As OMB grows, the goal would be to publish an annual budget book for submission to GFOA. 

Monthly OMB meetings with elected officials, departments and agencies are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Government Services Center in the 6th floor Commissioners conference room at 9:00 A.M.
