PURPOSE: To discuss proposed Board goals for fiscal year 1998-99.
BACKGROUND: Each year, the Orange County 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. The County Manager and staff receive direction from the Board at
this and subsequent meetings, and develop a set of proposed objectives, action steps, and timetables
for each goal articulated by the Board. These draft goals are presented to, and reviewed by, the
Board each Spring. The Manager incorporates any resources required to carry out these goals in his
recommended budget for the next fiscal year. The Board typically provides formal approval of the
goals before the new fiscal year begins on July 1.
As in past years, the proposed goals for the 1998-99 fiscal year reflect primarily updates to goals
that the Board has pursued over the course of a number of years. This meeting provides an
opportunity for the Board to identify additions, deletions, or modifications they would like to make
to the set of proposed goals prior to their formal adoption. The Manager and staff will receive
Board comments and fashion any needed changes to the proposed goals, so they may be brought
back for approval by the Board prior to the new fiscal year beginning July 1, 1998.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report as
information, discuss the goals to the extent the Board deems appropriate at this time, and provide
direction to staff regarding a schedule for review and adoption of the 1998-99 goals.
