Provided data and analysis for long range transportation plan and capital improvement element of the comprehensive plan.As a Budget Analyst, I analyzed budget submissions from various departments within the County. This analysis focused primarily on variance analysis, digging into the root cause of why a particular line item within the budget was increasing. I created templates to achieve uniform data presented by all Budget Analysts, including procedures to thoroughly review the budget document. I saved the County money by correcting duplicated items or incorrect amounts used during the budget process.
