Paul Allen from the county's highways department said officials were assessing the damage caused to the county's A and B roads but an "ever-decreasing highways maintenancebudget" made prioritising roads "extremely difficult".
For students and parents, that means that there is less of a chance that a family will need to turn to student loans and other means to deal with a scary double-digit tuition hike or a walk across a campus whose maintenancebudget has been slashed.
Mr Davies said the council had rejected the budget option to remove maintenance of some parks and bowling greens, and had given Birkenhead dog kennels a reprieve from closure.
Organizations need to set specific goals and build a solid roadmap, outlining goals like lowering IT costs or allocating a percentage of your IT budget to go towards technology growth initiatives over the next year versus maintenance costs.
Also, considering the speed of evolution of mobile device features and operating systems, evolving field requirements, ongoing maintenance of multiple platforms can cost multiple times the initial development budget over a five-year period.
And because the budget authority targeted by the law typically gets spent much faster in operations and maintenance than in other areas, it is there that the pain will be felt fastest.
It is also possible to formalize position maintenance with personnel actions and an option of approvals, and also optionally track budget and cost information.
