In an era of chronic deficits, governments still use line item budgets that spur waste. Managers face many accounts, and end of year spending pressure pushes overuse. Across agencies, surplus funds are reclaimed, dampening reform incentives. In 1979 Fairfield, California began a different approach.
David Osborne explains the Expenditure Control Budget that eliminates line items and ties department funding to a formula, allowing savings to fund other programs. The system shifts incentives from spending to saving, with managers treating underspent funds as rollovers. Fairfield and about a dozen other governments have tentatively adopted similar lump sum budgets, even prompting broader focus for councils and legislatures. David Osborne writes for Governing Magazine.
