In smaller departments where there may be sufficient work to sustain a position dedicated solely to budget analysis and a higher-level person retains the overall budget analytic responsibility, the employee may act as budget officer.

This class is flexibly staffed with and differs from that of Analyst 1, assigned to the budget function, in that an incumbent of the latter functions in an entry or learning capacity.
