PURPOSE: To complete discussion and consider adoption of the Board's goals for 1999-2000.
BACKGROUND: Each yeaz, the Board of Commissioners holds an annual planning and goal setting
retreat that provides a forum for Commissioners to discuss their policy priorities for the next fiscal year.
This year the County Manager and staff received direction from the Board at the January 16 retreat and a
follow up goals work session on February 15. Staff developed a set of proposed objectives for each of the
goals articulated by the Boazd, and in many cases updated the detailed action steps and timetables for
current goals that the Board indicated they would like to continue through the new fiscal year. These draft
goals were distributed to the Board at the beginning of April. The Board discussed the proposed goals at
their April 13 and' Apri121 work session, and scheduled adoption of the goals for the May 11 work
session.
Staff have compiled a notebook for Commissioners with a complete, updated set of proposed goals for
1999-2000. This set of goals incorporates direction received from the Board at previous work sessions
and the written or oral comments received from individual Commissioners on other goals that were not
fully addressed during those work sessions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Boazd's approval of goals will in some cases require the obligation of new
resources and/or the dedication of portions of existing staff time to carry out the action plans for those
goals. The potential financial impacts and resource requirements aze addressed in each of the individual
proposed goals. New resources required will be included in the Manager's recommended budget for
1999-2000, which will be presented to the Board at the end of May
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board make any final changes needed to
individual goals and then adopt the full set of Commissioners' 1999-2000 goals.
