Public Administration: Budgeting and Service Delivery

Does your CP rely on money or services provided by any public entity? Are the money and services provided in a consistent and reliable manner or is the CP subject to periodic application, approval, re-application, etc.? How does this consistency, or lack thereof, affect your CP’s operations? Do other people or organizations rely on your CP to provide funding?


Twin Pines Senior and Community Center has funds and donations. They have a senior fund, which is a fund dedicated to enhance the center, senior services and their programs. This fund is consistent because they have a fund balance and any remaining balances are carried over annually, and there is no expiration date. Fundraising and donations should continue to be deposited into the fund while expenditures can be withdrawn from the fund.The funds are raised through donations received from individuals and businesses along with fundraising efforts from their volunteers. An important attribute to the fund is fundraising and donations, which keeps the fund going. There is not an organization that relies on Twin Pines Senior and Community center to provide funding, but since it is operated by Belmont, it is the city that makes sure their funds are intact and continuing to grow through the generous fundraising and donations that are given to the center. These funds are what help the center make improvements in order to provide services and programs for the members of the community.
