Operating B udget Discuss io n The overall objective for the operating budget is to maintain a status q u o budget without compromising the overall effectiveness and mission of the department. B ecause approximately 70% of the department's budget is non-discretionary funding, it is important to allocate the remaining resources carefully. In order to maintain a minimum budget, we will be collaborating w i th other agencies such as the L i fe Choices Kauai and KPD to maximize our program efficiency without leaving any voids in the overall effort to curb and reduce underage drinking.
