PURPOSE: To consider formal adoption of the proposed Orange County Board of
Commissioners' goals for 1997-98.
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.
The Board reviewed the updated goals prepared by staff, during work sessions on June 2 and June 5.
Staff have revised various goals to reflect comments from the Board during those work sessions.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the 1997-98 goals.
