Financing and facilities planning

In 2005, to ensure that agency budgets are aligned with the agency sustainability plans, DAS instructed the 20 agencies subject to the Governor’s Executive Order on sustainability to include a “Sustainability Narrative” in their budget submissions describing the sustainability programs they have underway and their progress in achieving them. In 2007, this requirement expanded to include all agencies. In the 2009 budget development, agencies continue to complete these narratives. This is now a permanent part of the process. ​​​
