The Office of Management and Budget was established July 1, 2005 by Governor Minner as part of her vision for the most efficient and effective operation of central state government services. The Office is a result of a reorganization that consolidated the Office of the Budget, the Office of State Personnel and a large portion of the Department of Administrative Services. The reorganization centralizes the authority to manage major state assets including people, financial resources, land use planning and state facilities, and will improve service to state agencies.
