SUBJECT: Board Discussion of Dual Service Model As It Relates to Future Facility Needs

PURPOSE: To provide the Board with an opportunity to discuss the dual service model as it
relates to future County facility needs.
BACKGROUND: Budget-related issues and discussions over the past few years have
prompted the Board and County staff to assess the services provided by the County, the
organizational structure of County government, and the allocation of funds, personnel and other
resources. The County's dual service model, which has been in place and has guided decision-
making processes for a number of years, has served as a basis for recent analysis and led to
various recommendations and decisions.
As the County plans for the future and makes decisions regarding facilities, services, personnel
and other resources, a full Board discussion on the dual service model would provide a basis
for both staff review and analysis and for Board actions in the short and long term. Some Board
members have at various intervals expressed general thoughts on the dual service model.
However, a discussion by the full Board would help confirm a direction for County government
and provide a basis for future staff efforts and Board decisions.
Staff requests guidance from the Board on the dual service model, the County services to be
provided under the model (i.e. does the model expand beyond the current human services
focus), and any other direction or feedback the Board can provide.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with discussion of the dual
service model. There will be future financial impacts related to facilities, services, and
personnel based on the direction provided by the Board.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss and provide
guidance on the dual service model as it relates to future County facility needs, the County
services to be provided under the model, and any other direction or feedback.
