Second, the Administrative program's mission does not list certain constitutional duties that are contained in the overall mission statement. The Administrative program includes administrative, support, and non-administrative functions. There are objectives for the support and non-administrative functions. However, there are no goals or performance indicators for the entire program. According to a GASB official, support and administrative functions should be separated for the purpose of developing performance data.
Administration deals with the general management and oversight of a program or department.
Support services provide purchasing, payroll, legal and other services to the rest of the department. Overall, the department's objectives do not meet the established criteria. None of the 25 objectives are timebound, and only one contains a target for accomplishment. While 22 of the department's objectives specify an end result, some of the end results are very broad and general. Also, for four programs, the program objectives are grouped into one long statement.
