The <br /> Matrix categorized the services and activities into three categories: <br /> • State/federal mandated programs where County must provide a required level <br /> of service at a required level of funding <br /> • State/federal mandated programs where County must provide a service but <br /> funding level of the program is discretionary <br /> • Discretionary programs where County is not required to provide the service <br /> Department directors finalized their sections of the Matrix in conjunction with <br /> preparation of their FY 2009-10 budget request.

Tonight's work session offers the first <br /> opportunity since the retreat for Commissioners to discuss the Matrix.
