PURPOSE: To receive proposed 1996-97 Commissioners goals .
BACKGROUND: Each year, the Board of County Commissioners approves a
set of goals that provide guidance to staff in carrying out the most
important work that the Board wants to achieve during that fiscal year.
These individual goal statements include objectives, action plans,
timetables, and estimates of resources required to carry out each goal .
The approved goals help establish work priorities and resource
allocation decisions during the annual budget development and review
process .
The proposed 1996-97 goals are based largely on the continuation of
previously adopted long-range goals . A number of goals that have been
substantially completed or are in an "ongoing" mode have not been
included with the proposed goals for the new fiscal year, while several
other goal statements have been prepared for issues discussed by the
Board of Commissioners at their December 1995 annual planning retreat .
The draft goals are being presented at the March 19 meeting for
information only at this time. The Board may want to consider holding
a public hearing on the draft goals at the April 16 meeting, with the
option of either adopting the 1996-97 goals immediately after the
public hearing, or of adopting them at the May 1 meeting. With either
April 16 or May 1 adoption of the goals, the Manager will be able to
consider the resources required to carry out the goals as he prepares
the Manager' s Recommended Budget to be presented at the beginning of
June.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board receive the
proposed goals as information and provide direction on 'a schedule for
review and adoption.
