    Annual Budget Process The City of Durham’s annual budget process is the framework for communicating major financial operational objectives and for allocating resources to achieve them. This process is a complex undertaking involving the whole government. The process begins in October and runs until the end of June. By state law, the City must adopt an annual budget ordinance by June 30 of each year. Coordination of the process is essential to the building of the budget. To achieve coordination, a calendar of activities is summarized on this page. Once the budget is approved, the focus of the budget becomes control. Ongoing monitoring of expenditures and revenues throughout the year is a responsibility shared by department heads and the Budget Department. The Accounting Services Division ensures that changes are correctly entered and payments are appropriate. The Budget and Management Services Department reviews all requests from departments to make sure that sufficient appropriations have been budgeted. All funds are reviewed on a regular basis, and a budget report is submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any function. However, transfers between functions, additions or deletions require a budget amendment. To amend the budget, a revised budget ordinance must be approved by the City Council. January February March Department budgets submitted Coffees with Council continue. Budget kick-off.

    Comments on the Duke Coley Hall Imaging Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility Certificate of Need Application, Project ID # J-12001-20 December 31, 2020 In accordance with N.C. GEN. STAT. § 131E-185(a1)(1), University of North Carolina Hospitals at Chapel Hill (“UNC Hospitals” or “UNC Health”) submits the following comments related to Duke University Health System, Inc.’s (“Duke’s”) application to develop a diagnostic center with mammography and ultrasound equipment to be operated as an independent diagnostic testing facility (“IDTF”) in Orange County. UNC Health’s comments on this application include “discussion and argument regarding whether, in light of the material contained in the application and other relevant factual material, the application complies with the relevant review criteria, plans and standards.” See N.C. GEN. STAT. § 131E-185(a1)(1)(c). To facilitate the Agency’s review of these comments, UNC Health has organized its discussion by issue, noting the Certificate of Need statutory review criteria creating the non-conformity on the application. General Comments While the specific issues with the application are identified in the sections to follow, UNC Health notes that the responses in the application fall far short of providing the minimum amount of information needed to demonstrate conformity with the applicable review criteria. The application includes multiple inconsistencies, lacks supporting analysis and assumptions, and provides insufficient documentation of the need for the proposed project, among other issues described below. Duke cannot simply remedy these problems through a response to these comments or otherwise since the information is not in the application and an applicant may not amend its application.
