From the supplier: The Dallas County Commissioners Court has included a departmental discretionary account (DDA) in the FY 1997 line-item budget as part of efforts to lessen the centralized control over departments. The DDA is aimed at encouraging department heads to practice efficient budgeting. Between $500 and $10,000 is allotted for the DDA annually which department heads can use for expenses such as travel, performance rewards or overtime compensation.
