 The preparation and publication of an annual budget of all District funds shall be   consistent with existing law and in accordance with a District budget calendar for      review, tentative adoption and final adoption.  “Budget” includes any tentative,       proposed, or final budget required by law.

The Chancellor, or other designee, shall prepare and submit to the Board such reports showing the financial and budgetary condition of the District, including outstanding obligations, as required by law and as necessary to apprise the Board of fiscal circumstances affecting policy decisions.

Budget development shall meet the following criteria:

 
* The annual budget shall support the District’s strategic plans.

* Assumptions upon which the budget is based are presented to the Board for review.
 
* Unrestricted general reserves shall be no less than the prudent reserve defined by the Chancellor’s Office of the California Community Colleges.
 
* Changes in the assumptions upon which the budget was based shall be reported to the Board in a timely manner.

* Budget projections address long term goals and commitments.
