    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.

The main part of campus - aside from the Duke Forest and other properties - is nearly 2000 acres, with approximately 500 acres of that being actively maintained. The large amount of tree coverage, road network, topography, and natural drainage system, along with extensive designed landscapes, athletic fi elds and gardens, makes the campus an incredibly rich and complex place. These guidelines are intended to be a resource for creating and maintaining a campus landscape with a certain level of consistency that exists across various precincts with specifi c contextual requirements. These guidelines will help to set the character for the different landscape types while also providing detailed recommendations and precedents for what has and has not worked on campus previously.

Barlow Herget and Mike McLaughlin 2 NORTH CAROLINA INSIGHT Local officials-armed with claims of impressive economic impact-are going to bat for professional sports franchises and single-shot sporting events like never before in North Carolina. Even state government has gotten into the act with the establishment of a Sports Development Office in the Department of Economic and Community Development.' But how much impact can sports really have on the economy of a commu- nity? The North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research explores this question and finds that the economic impact of a professional sports franchise or event can be very real. The NBA's Charlotte Hornets, for example, have been a boon to the City of Charlotte, providing substantial economic impact and enhancing the city's image. Minor league sports are more likely to have a minor impact, although they help round out a city's entertainment offerings. Local officials are advised to proceed with caution when negotiating leases with sports franchises or invest- ing funds for stadium construction. is The Charlotte Hornets are a National Basket- her staff were calling on the executive ball Association team and the only major league of an out-of-state company that the city professional sports franchise in the state of North Thewas mayor courting of Charlotte,to relocate Suein Myrick,North Caro- and Carolina.

Duke Gardens [6]; W. Duke, Sons and Company; [7]Private Education; [8]Private Higher Education [9] In December 1924, James B. Duke [10] provided the money for a new research university to be created in connection with Trinity College [2] in Durham [11]. The idea and plan, however, came from the president of Trinity,W illiam P. Few [12], who served for 15 years as Duke University [13]'s first president. Eager to see North Carolina and the South begin to catch up with other sections of the nation in the realm of higher education, Few had high ambitions for the university and, before he died in 1940, had the satisfaction of seeing some of them achieved. Recognizing the opportunity to establish a new, unique name for the institution, Few proposed that it be called Duke University, and James B. Duke agreed on condition that it be considered a memorial to his father and family. Through the Duke Endowment, James B. Duke provided not only long-term support for the new university but also approximately $19 million to construct an elaborate and extensive physical plant. The plan called for constructing 11 new buildings in the classical or Georgian style of architecture, both on the existing Trinity campus and on a new site a mile and a half away.
