Fiscal Policies

Instructions:

Students are to identify a local (city or county) or state government of their choosing, and prepare a 5-page policy memo addressed to the head of that government (i.e., mayor, commission chair, or governor) that describes one government financed program within the state or local government.  The memo must include all of the below elements:

  • Organizational Structure
  • Profile & Economic Conditions/Outlook
  • Fiscal Policies
  • Budget Calendar
  • Goals and Objectives
  • Trends/Forecast

See this visual example of a business memo.  When you are discussing the above areas, you must provide context for each category to ensure understanding about the issue (using historical information, data, current status, options for moving forward and explaining the challenges and opportunities/benefits for each option).  Just because you are writing the memo to the executive, does not mean the executive is fully aware of all the details as you are.  So … fully explain.
