PURPOSE: To complete discussion of the Board's proposed goals for 1999-2000.
BACKGROUND: Each year, the Boazd 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 yeaz.
This year the County Manager and staff received direction from the Boazd 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 Board, and in many cases updated the detailed action steps and timetables for
current goals that the Boazd indicated they would like to continue through the new fiscal yeaz. These draft
goals were distributed to the Boazd at the beginning of April. The Boazd began discussion of the
proposed goals at their April 13 work session. At this Apri121 work session, the Boazd may complete its
direction to the Manager so he can incorporate any resources required to carry out these goals in the
Manager's Recommended Budget for the next fiscal yeaz.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact from the discussion of the proposed goals.
However, the Board's approval of individual goals at this or subsequent meetings 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 are addressed
in each of the individual proposed goals.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss and/or adopt the proposed
goals, and provide appropriate direction to staff about additional work that may be required on specific
goals to prepare them for subsequent adoption by the Board.
